Chapter 60 Tsukishiro

The Land Forsaken by God, a night with very low lightning frequency.

Several human-like creatures cautiously approached a fleshy mass with six legs and a dozen eyes.

They were wrapped in animal skins or simple clothes whose original material could not be seen, and with the help of the lighting of several lanterns, they walked through the deep and boundless darkness, and their expressions were very solemn.

Some of them had a dozen or 20 sarcomas on their faces, some had two eyes that were almost squeezed together, and some had no nose at all, and that place was a black hole.

After a fierce battle, they managed to solve the monster successfully, and then divided into two groups, one group guarded the surrounding area, and the other group harvested the spoils.

During this process, the man with multiple sarcomas on his face suddenly stopped when he was dissecting the monster corpse and collecting the edible parts.

"Adal, what's the matter?" the noseless woman asked suspiciously.

The man called Adal slowly withdrew his right hand, revealing an item he found from the monster.

It was a piece of amulet carved from stone with many traces of corrosion.

"This is..." The man whose eyes were almost squeezed together seemed to understand the reason, hesitating and not finishing his words.

Adal looked around and said:

"Sin, Ruth, I gave this to my father when I was a kid.

"The day he became an adult, he felt that he could no longer control himself, and chose to leave the city-state on his own and enter the depths of darkness..."

Xin and Ruth were silent for a while after hearing the words, and they could both understand Adal's mood.

In Moon City, this is a common occurrence.

Because there are not enough safe ingredients, they can only pick mutated plant fruits and collect monster flesh and blood to survive.

This causes them to accumulate toxins and go crazy, and after their physical condition declines, they either die quickly or spiral out of control.

In order not to have an impact on the surroundings or cause damage to the city-state, the latter often arranges everything when they perceive that the state is not right, take a torch and a small amount of food, leave the defense circle, and go away alone in the darkness that will never dissipate, never to return.

What will their fate be like,

The residents of Moon City can imagine that they are either killed by monsters or become monsters, and there is no other possibility.

After seven or eight seconds of silence, the noseless woman Xin hesitated and said to Adal:

"Maybe, this is the monster that killed your father."

"It has a belt made of animal skin wrapped around it..." Adal's voice gradually became lower, and he lifted the dagger made of white bone in his hand, thrust it down, and cut out a fairly normal piece of flesh.

The members of the hunting team skillfully completed the collection in silence, until Ruth, whose eyes were almost squeezed together, suddenly said in a low voice:

"In the newborn children, there are more and more deformed people..."

The cost of accumulating toxins and madness from generation to generation is far beyond the simple decline of the average age. Those who still maintain a normal physical condition will gradually develop certain mutations, like Adal, who has a lot of sarcomas on their faces.

In the same way, the deposited toxins and madness may also be passed on to future generations, resulting in the appearance of deformed people. Ruth and Xin in the hunting team belong to this category.

Their lives will be shorter and more prone to out of control and mutation.

What it means for more and more deformed children, the hunting team present is very clear, that is, it may not take two or three generations, and the residents of Moon City may lose control before they grow up and give birth to a new generation.

In that case, even if there is no external attack, Moon City will be destroyed quickly, leaving only stone buildings and wall paintings to prove that they once existed.

"I hope the High Priest and the others can find a new direction..." Adar stood up with the lantern in hand, and answered with an unusually weak answer.

Over the past two or three thousand years, it is not that Yuecheng has not sought a way out of the current situation. They have sent exploration teams one after another to move forward into the depths of the darkness. Some have returned after encountering serious setbacks and have achieved nothing. There was no more sound, and he just disappeared into the boundless darkness.

In addition, a distance to the east of Yuecheng, there is a gray-white fog that covers the sky and the earth.

They are like invisible barriers, not only blocking the line of sight, but also making it impossible for any living being to pass through.

The residents of Moon City used to think that this was the place of hope, that the place shrouded in gray mist was a normal country, and that the other side of the gray mist was a land that was not cursed.

They tried again and again to enter the gray mist, but failed:

They dug a long passage and wanted to pass through the underground without an invisible barrier, but the corresponding area in the depths of the earth was also shrouded in gray mist;

They tried to get the ability to fly and tried to cross from high altitude, but they couldn't see the top of the gray mist until they were struck by lightning;

They mobilized the power of all the demigods and sealed objects to attack the target again and again. After two or three thousand years, they accumulated day after day, but they failed to eliminate the invisible barrier...

Hearing the words of Captain Adal, the members of the hunting team were desperate and sad, as if they were slipping on the edge of the "abyss", but could not save themselves.

Those who are deformed are originally the type with difficult emotions to control. At this time, they more or less feel that something is suppressed in their hearts and want to burst out.

——In Yuecheng, two or three hundred years ago, deformed people could not become Beyonders, they could only join the hunting team and could only do gathering work. limit.

"Let's go, this food is not enough." Adal looked around, carrying the lantern, and walked deeper into the darkness.

They didn't take the risk of extinguishing the fire and letting monsters spring out of the darkness, because that was probably something they couldn't handle.

In the suffocating environment, the members of Yuecheng's hunting team couldn't help but feel a sense of endless darkness.

This is as if the current situation of Yuecheng, there is never hope, and the lantern in his hand can burn less and less time.

When that last ray of light dissipated, they would be completely engulfed by darkness without a sound.

As he walked, a dim yellow suddenly appeared in Adal's eyes.

It was a little fire, not the fire of the hunting team!

The ignition light immediately shone into the eyes of all the members of the entire hunting team, filling their pupils.

Adar, Xin, Ruth and others all opened their eyes uncontrollably, and a strong emotion of surprise emerged in their hearts.

In their lives, in the historical records of Yuecheng after the cataclysm, there has never been a fire from anywhere else!

It is true that many monsters have the ability of fire or sun domain, but before launching an attack, they are all lurking in the dark, not showing a little light.

And now, a ray of fire has emerged in the depths of the darkness!

The bodies of A'dal, Xin, Ruth and the others trembled slightly, and they thought a lot for a while, but couldn't think of the answer.

They quickly recalled the arrangements for this hunt, and confirmed that there would be no more residents of Moon City nearby.

Since that firelight doesn't belong to Moon City, where did it come from?

The entire hunting team slowed down, they were shocked, stunned, curious, but also fearful, worried, and panicked.

- They have also discovered some destroyed city-states, knowing that any abnormality in this darkness may be fatal.

"...Warning!" Adal finally came to his senses and gave an order.

The hunting team immediately formed a battle formation, waiting for the dim yellow fire to approach this side.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, every second was so slow, and finally, after the ignition light became bigger, a figure appeared.

Figures... Only one person... The members of the Moon City hunting team held their breaths at the same time.

They seemed, maybe, about to meet an outsider!

Two or three thousand years later, someone else finally set foot on this land.

This abandoned world is no longer just them.

As for who can travel through the endless darkness and arrive here, Adal and others have no experience at all, so there is no way to guess.

As the fire got bigger and bigger and more obvious, the members of the hunting team gradually saw the figure clearly:

It was a slender young man, with black hair and brown pupils, and a stern expression.

He wore a strange hat, strange clothes, and carried a lantern made of a special material, walking step by step from the depths of the darkness.

The light of his lantern was brighter than the hunting party's combined, making the surrounding darkness quickly recede.

It didn't take long for the light to shine on Adal, Xin, Ruth and others.

The figure stopped, looked at the hunting team in Yuecheng, and said in a low voice:

"Where are you from."

He speaks the language of giants... His eyes are clear and he can communicate... Adal opened his mouth and stopped the urge to answer subconsciously.

He asked back:

"Who are you?"

The figure with the glass lantern responded calmly:

"Gehrman Sparrow."

After more than half a year of tossing and traveling and overcoming one difficulty after another, Klein's spiritual intuition finally told him that he was about to reach his destination.

And he also met the first group of living people in this "travel" to the Land Forsaken by God.

"Where are you from?" Adal kept vigilant and asked.

Klein's eyes swept across their faces, and his tone remained unchanged:

"I am from the City of Silver,

"From outside the Cursed Lands too."

Hearing this answer, all the members of the hunting team were in a trance for a while, wondering if they were expecting so much that they had hallucinations.

…………

In the autumn of 1351, Backlund in the smoke of war.

Since Fenepot also declared war on Loen, the war that has been tug-of-war for a while has finally lost its balance. Loen and his allies, Lumberg, Masi, and Segal have lost a lot of territory, and only the last few lines of defense are left. With tough resistance, teetered.

After seeing the long queue of food distribution points from the carriage window, Audrey slowly retracted her gaze and said to the maid Annie:

"Go to St. Samuel's Church..."
