Chapter 1317 The Holy City in the Wasteland

A dense shadow appears on the desolate horizon, as if the barren Gobi desert has suddenly grown into an endless jungle of thorns. The shadows are swaying, like a tide, rushing towards the mirror tower. Gradually, you can see There are countless twisted and ferocious monsters in it. They are just like those chaotic monsters that can be seen in the real world. They have thick and exaggerated body shapes, as if many creatures have been pieced together in strange ways. They are filled with crazy and twisted auras from beginning to end - these The monster jumped, pushed, and ran wildly across the ground, and it was in front of you in the blink of an eye!

Everyone was instantly panicked. Even Gordon, the King of Mountains and Rivers, and his fellow wardens were shocked when they saw the monsters appearing out of thin air on the horizon. Next to Hao Ren, Vivian opened a pair of bat wings and flew into the air in an instant. Storms of ice and lightning quickly formed on both sides of her body, while Y'zaks' eyes, mouth and nose were filled with sparks. The power of the devil steamed out from under his skin, and Lily jumped up and down in the queue, shouting loudly: "Landlord, landlord! It's time to spawn monsters! It's time to spawn monsters!"

Hao Ren ignored Lily's jumping up and down, and looked back in the direction of the mirror tower with some vague premonition.

Another tide is indeed coming from that direction.

It was an army of humans, at least it looked like most of them were humans. Amidst the billowing dust, countless soldiers and generals with blurry faces charged on horseback. They were wearing tattered armor, and their swords and guns were rusty. Individuals are covered in scars, and the scars even make their bodies as tattered as their armor. Their faces are pale, their limbs are atrophied, and the skin on their heads is like a layer of shriveled kraft paper clinging to the bones below. At first glance, it looked terrifying as if it were an army of the undead!

However, this "army of the undead" was still charging forward. The tattered equipment and scars all over their bodies did not affect their pace and momentum. In the blink of an eye, this army had crossed the dusty battlefield and violently collided. Up comes the legions of Chaos from the end of the horizon.

Collide silently.

The two legions collided and fought on the great plains. Swords cut into limbs and claws tore armors. Every minute and every second, countless warriors and monsters were torn into pieces and fell into the dust and mud. Monsters looked up to the sky and howled. Humans The general was roaring - but all was silent.

Just like an old-fashioned silent movie, the melee that took place around everyone was completely silent. When countless swords and swords clashed, all that was raised was dust that may have fallen centuries ago. After the initial shock passed, Afterwards, Hao Ren calmly saw a galloping knight passing through his body, and he realized that everything was just an illusion.

Others gradually calmed down from their panic and watched the battle curiously. Vivian was still floating in the air with vigilance, surrounded by electric fields - although the confrontation between the two armies in front of her was just a phantom, in this world labeled as a "nightmare", anything related to phantoms cannot be ignored, and no one dares to Determining whether there would be a greater danger hidden in the phantom; Yzaks did not put away his power, and he also put Elizabeth on his shoulders. The little devil held up a blazing fireball of evil energy with both hands, and his face was full of Nervous, it seemed that if there was even the slightest abnormality in the phantom, she would throw the big fireball.

Even Lily did not relax her vigilance. She arranged her barbarian soldiers on the flanks of the team. She stared with golden eyes, looking for any possible danger in the phantom, and her pointed animal ears trembled gently in the air. Showing her inner uneasiness.

The battle between the two phantom legions is gradually coming to an end. It seems to be an extremely brutal decisive battle for both sides. Almost all living forces are consumed in the fight. Monsters do not understand fear and pain, so they will naturally not flinch. , but human beings also burst out with the same power based on faith. Until the last flag in the team fell, not a single soldier turned around and ran away!

The fighting gradually stopped, and in the end there was no more soldier standing on the battlefield. Be it monsters or humans, they were all turned into fragmented remains on the wasteland. With a burst of scattered light, all the phantoms gradually dissipated into the air. .

Gordon, the King of Mountains and Rivers, watched all the phantoms dissipate, with a disappointed expression on his face, and then suddenly his eyes froze, staring at the place where the last starlight disappeared.

Hao Ren and Vivian also noticed an additional aura there.

"This is the last battle that took place in front of the tower in the Realm of Reflection," an old and gentle voice came from the flickering light, "but it is not their last battle. On the eternal battlefield, nothing will happen. Stop until the heroes turn into withered bones, until the withered bones turn into monsters, until the monsters turn into loess, everything will continue to reincarnate..."

An octogenarian man stood in front of Gordon. He was barefoot, wearing a thick robe that could no longer be seen. He was holding a simple crutch made of bent wattle wood. The old man was extremely thin, almost skinny. His skinny limbs did not shake at all. He stood there like a hard and rugged thorn. His messy white hair was blowing in the wind. There were two rays of light in his deep-set eye sockets. These two rays of light condensed into His gaze was directed towards the king of mountains and rivers, who was as tall as a mountain, the powerful ancient prison officer, Gordon.

Ordinary people would tremble and tremble just by looking at the figure of the warden. However, this thin old man who seemed to have no strength and no extraordinary energy in perception just stared at the King of Mountains and Rivers, his gaze was firm and unwavering. Even with scrutiny.

"Who are you?" Gordon had a strange and inexplicable feeling for this thin old human man, so he couldn't help but ask him.

Hao Ren was also looking at the mysterious old man curiously - whether it was an illusion or not, he could never have any precise memory of the old man's face, as if he would have a completely different impression every time he saw the latter's face. , this weird feeling made him confused.

Facing Gordon's inquiry and the curious gazes of others, the mysterious old man did not respond. He just turned around and walked away: "Keep walking, keep walking, endless, endless..."

Several wardens looked at each other inexplicably, and then Gordon seemed to suddenly remember something: "That is the direction of the Scorched Earth Plains!"

Hao Ren instantly recalled the fragmented image he had seen in the monitoring point record. The soldier who left the record in the image seemed to have mentioned this place name.

He raised his head and shouted to Gordon: "Let's catch up with him!"

The mysterious old man's walking speed seemed extremely slow, but in fact it was incredibly fast. In just a few seconds, he was already hundreds of meters away!

Fortunately, everyone who entered the Forgotten Abyss this time was not ordinary. The worst ones were the powerful knights and high priests who were ranked top in the Holy Church. No one would lose track of the target on the plain. After receiving the order, they immediately Go and chase the mysterious old man.

However, just when they were about to catch up with each other, the mysterious old man suddenly disappeared.

After a brief moment of surprise, Hao Ren made a decision: move on.

Since the old man's last direction before disappearing was to the Scorched Earth Plains, the team will go to the Scorched Earth Plains to look for clues!

As he got closer to his destination, Hao Ren smelled the smell of decay and decay in the air.

The clouds are getting thicker, and the pollution and corruption on the earth are becoming more and more terrifying. As we get closer to the place called "Scorched Earth Plains", or as we get further away from the radiation range of the mirror tower, the surrounding chaotic power is getting stronger and stronger. It became stronger and stronger, and gradually, the soldiers even observed that strange tissues made of shadows and flesh were discovered in the cracks on the surface. They looked like thorns, but they were constantly twisting and shaking like living creatures, which was disgusting. Nausea, and high in the sky, in the dusk-like twilight, huge shadows can be vaguely seen floating, and countless tentacle-like things appear and disappear behind the gaps in the clouds - they are still Rock Marton's Projection, but here, as long as you can see the projection, it is enough to prove that Rock Marton's power body is quite close!

Heading to the Scorched Plains seemed like a wise decision.

The corrupt power of chaos is getting stronger and stronger, and the light of order unconsciously released by Lily and others has become more powerful, but this still cannot prevent the power of chaos outside the scope of order from starting to seriously interfere with everyone's perception, and just when Brother When Dun said that the Scorched Earth Plain was in front of him, a large amount of energy reaction suddenly appeared in Hao Ren's already slightly dull perception!

Almost at the same time, the data terminal was also reporting: "Life signals were detected ahead, and the number...is extremely large."

"Everyone be on alert!" Karasius raised his staff, "Level 1 alert!"

Under the precise guidance provided by the data terminal, the team avoided routes that might expose themselves, and moved along a continuous ridge that was raised like fangs, and finally stopped on a rocky slope.

Further forward there is no cover that can provide concealment, and even on the slope, it is enough to observe the situation ahead.

Gordon and several wardens leaned down. Although they were so huge, they could not make a sound when moving covertly, and completely covered their own breath and presence, even if you stood in front of them. If you look ahead, you will subconsciously ignore these rock giants. Hao Ren walked around Gordon and stuck his head out from behind a boulder.

He saw a camp.

In other words, it is a ruins pieced together haphazardly, made of stones, steel, and rotten wood.

In that ruin-like camp, countless ghost-like soldiers were moving around.

But these are far from the most surprising part. What is really surprising is that further beyond the camp, in a deserted Gobi desert where smoke still rises, a dilapidated city stands impressively.

The city has tall walls and numerous towers. Although it is majestic, it is scarred. Half-collapsed buildings and charred ruins can be seen everywhere. Even the entire city is scattered on the ground in a state of fragments, as if the entire building complex has been thrown away. It went up in the air and then fell to pieces.

From a distance, the city can be vaguely divided into three rings. The outermost ring is filled with ordinary residential areas. In the middle ring, you can see many tall, church-like buildings. In the core ring, However, only large areas of burned ruins and a few majestic towers and palaces are left.

"Lord..." Calasius exclaimed, "Is that the city of the gods?"
