Chapter 1402 Ancient City

It was not far from the space entrance to the ancient city. Soon, the magnificent granite city wall was in sight.

The collapse of different spaces is not uniform in all directions. On the other side of the city, the collapse has spread to nearly one-third of the city. However, the collapse process at the entrance to the space is obviously much slower. This section of the city wall is still intact. , and even part of the area outside the city is still in a stable state. It must be said that this state saves Hao Ren and his party a lot of trouble, preventing them from walking through the dangerous and fragmented collapse cracks.

"...It does have the atmosphere of that era," Vivian looked up at the towering city wall, "It's just that it's hard to tell which mythical city-state it belongs to from the style. I have no impression at all."

Lily glanced at Vivian: "Aren't you a living fossil from the mythical age? How come you don't know anything?"

"There were too many cities that flourished for a while and then died quietly in the mythical era. Even I can't possibly know them all," Vivian shook her head. "Humanity at that time was still at an extremely low level of productivity. In addition, various Such mythical monsters and beasts are rampant, and the living environment is extremely dangerous. The establishment of such a magnificent city at that time almost all relied on the protection and guidance of some alien, that is, the ancient 'gods', although those 'ancient gods' were usually just to make themselves They can live comfortably and implement brutal rule, but it must be admitted that without them, there would be no these magnificent cities. But the ancient cities built in this way also have their own huge shortcomings..."

Yzaks took over the next words: "Once the 'god' worshiped by the city dies, the city will be finished."

Vivian nodded: "In addition, battles between aliens will also cause such city-states to disappear overnight, so even I don't know how many ancient cities like this have disappeared in the long river of history, especially in The barbaric era when the mythical war was at its most intense.”

"Ahem, let's wait until we walk into the city to talk about the history class," Hao Ren coughed twice, interrupting Vivian's science popularization, "This space is collapsing, we don't have much time."

"Where is the city gate?" Vivian looked at Hesiana, "Where did you enter from?"

The little bat spirit pointed to a gap in the city wall: "Just the gap over there. As for the city gate, I don't know where it is because the situation inside is weird. My two subordinates all exited shortly after entering. ."

Hao Ren nodded, put away the explosive device he had just taken out, and led the team to the gap in the city wall.

"...Strange, it looks like it was broken from the inside." Yzaks has rich combat experience, so he instantly judged the situation of the gap from the collapse of the walls around the gap and the direction of the debris falling. "Look at these locations, they are all collapsing from the inside out."

Hao Ren frowned: "Weren't we attacked by foreign enemies?"

"I'm afraid something 'something' has appeared in the city," Vivian said in a deep voice, "This kind of thing is not uncommon in the mythical age. The two cities of Galadi and Gudaro summoned the anger during sacrifices. The spirit was destroyed by the impact from the inside out. Let's be more careful when we go in. If it is really an angry spirit or something like that, then there might still be part of it still remaining in the city."

Everyone checked their protective spells and equipment, and even Gun licked his paws carefully. Then, under the leadership of Hao Ren and Vivian, everyone carefully crossed the gap in the city wall.

The moment he crossed the gap in the city wall, Hao Ren noticed that the surrounding environment darkened slightly, and then a faint red light curtain shrouded the surroundings as if appearing out of thin air, coating the surrounding scenery with a thin layer of blood.

He couldn't help but look up, but saw that the sky had not changed much. The chaotic boundary of the different space was still rolling and surging. Countless quicksand-like huge vortices were spinning in the chaos and gradually swallowing up this space. The vortex and the clouds were mixed together. No light source was seen emerging, and the surrounding light red light curtain appeared directly in the air like a sourceless light.

"Is this the red light curtain that your two men were talking about?" He turned to look at Hesiana.

The little bat spirit nodded nervously: "That's it. Under the red light curtain, people will lose physical strength unconsciously, and may gradually lose their minds. It is almost fatal to humans, but vampires can survive injuries that endanger their lives. I noticed something wrong before.”

The hair on Lily's ears and tail exploded the moment the red light screen appeared. The powerful intuition of the beast had already made her feel that there was danger in the red light: "Let's not go further, let's figure out what this red light is like here." Let’s talk about what’s going on. Landlord, do you think there is any equipment that can block it?”

Hao Ren glanced at his feet and found that no one could see a shadow under his feet, even the surrounding buildings and collapsed rocks. He used his left hand to cover his right arm and did a test, and found that he could not produce the same shadow. Shadow: "This light is weird. It can either pass through various obstacles, or it can be everywhere, like the self-illumination of the air."

"If it can pass through all obstacles, then we won't be able to see it," the data terminal suddenly said, "because then it will not reflect or be absorbed by any surface, even when it enters the eye They all pass directly through without being captured by the visual organs.”

Lily blinked: "So it's everywhere? What the hell is this?"

A thought flashed through Hao Ren's mind, but before he could say anything, he heard Vivian's voice coming from the front, her tone low and erratic: "It's the moonlight."

"Moonlight?" Lily's ears suddenly stood up in excitement, "Bat, can you stop talking in such a nagging tone? Why do I feel so fuzzy..."

Vivian turned around. She had released her vampire power. Her eyes were as bright red as soaked in blood. A layer of faint red mist enveloped her, as if blending with the surrounding red light curtain: "It's from the red moon." Light - this city is shrouded by the red moon, or in other words, it was once illuminated by the red moon."

Several people were immediately shocked. Hao Ren was the first to react: "Red moon? Is it the kind of red moon you summoned?"

"Only one 'Red Moon' with supernatural power has appeared on this planet, and that is my power." Vivian nodded, "This layer of light has been extremely weakened and mutated, but I still noticed something just now. My own breath...this is undoubtedly the light of the red moon."

Lily's already fluffy tail seemed to grow bigger in an instant: "Bat, don't scare people! There is no moon in the sky! And you were not here before, so how can there be moonlight here!"

"I can't explain it, but there is indeed moonlight left here," Vivian shook her head. "I have never seen the moonlight still remaining after the red moon disappears, but my red moon itself is beyond comprehension. Things are even beyond my own understanding...so just accept this established fact."

Under the red moon, moonlight is everywhere - Hao Ren silently recited this famous sentence in his heart, which is known to everyone among aliens and demon hunters, and then raised his head: "So this city must have been... The red moon has shrouded it - Vivian, don't you have any impression of this?"

Vivian's attitude was very positive: "I have no impression at all."

Hao Ren: "...Okay, it seems it's your memory problem again..."

"Then it's time to make a decision," Yzaks said in a rough voice. "It's definitely not a good idea to act under the light of the red moon. We either have to exit first. If we want to continue moving forward, we must find a way to block these things." Moonlight—not even my demonic rune shield can stop it.”

"The moonlight has weakened a lot. It should be that the energy has slowly dissipated over time." Vivian looked at Hao Ren. "I can continue to move in the moonlight. You and others should be able to open their shields. This can last anywhere from a few hours to a day.”

Hao Ren thought for a while and finally sighed: "Oh...it's okay. I have a stronger shield that can ensure everyone can move freely under the moonlight."

As he spoke, he calmed down under the curious gaze of everyone, and with a tragic expression began to communicate with his gods and perform magical arts.

After a while, a group of people walked into the depths of the city wearing sacred shields with the words "I will protect you" and "I will protect you by the way."

Vivian also comforted her along the way: "Hao Ren, don't pay too much attention to this. Things like skills have to be effective. How many skills in the Age of Mythology with domineering names and cool and gorgeous activation effects will end up being useless in the end?" Are you dead? The big move will kill you quickly. Practicality is the way to go..."

Hao Ren: "Let's not talk about whether it's gorgeous or not. Have you ever heard of anyone whose skills include barrages?"

Vivian: "..."

The whole audience was probably very happy because she was really heartless. She was very curious about the "light shell" that suddenly appeared around her. From time to time, she used her hands to poke and poke it floating in front of her. In the past, the words "I'll cover you by the way" were just like every qualified cat, playing very happily with itself.

Seeing Gun's heartless look, Hao Ren couldn't help but sigh again: "Alas..."

Hesiana tried her best to ignore the barrage text floating in front of her. To be honest, she would not be willing to go out on an adventure with such a silly thing if there was any way. However, the situation was stronger than the people. The first-layer shield can really resist the negative forces in the ancient city 100%, so she can only accept the reality. What she was most fortunate about now was that her two men were waiting outside, so the matter of this shield would not be spread.

The little bat spirit walked forward with these messy thoughts in his mind, while carefully guarding the ancient and lifeless buildings around him.

There is an aura of desolation and death lingering in the ancient city made of huge stones, which is as unsettling as every relic from the mythical era. From the other end of the city, there are still vague sounds of cracking buildings and space collapse. Coupled with the huge whirlpools of quicksand that are constantly rotating in the sky, everything here is very depressing. Even Hesiana, who has been fearless since she was a child, still feels like her heart is constantly tingling when she walks here.

She always felt as if something was lurking in the city and staring at her.

Where people walked, the streets were deserted, and the air currents carried the sand and dust between the ruins flying everywhere, covering the entire street with a hazy dust mist.

In the dust and fog, a huge shadow whose details were difficult to discern slowly emerged, but then disappeared in a flash.

The dust is still rolling, leaving no trace.
