251 The Strange Gray Snake City!

Good fellow, it turns out that they pick on the weak.

The guards were all fully armed before, and their bronze armor reflected a shiny metallic luster.

This might have made the monster feel that it was difficult to bite, and there were also many of them.

In comparison, Xiao Leng and his group behind him looked easier to deal with.

Could it be that the monsters nowadays are really that smart?

As soon as the Ming Snake took off into the air, Xiao Leng used the [Shocking Fist] that had been fully charged for a long time to attack it in a straight line.

The surrounding strong wind whistled, and the sound of something breaking was heard on one side.

When he turned his head to look, a large gray-winged Ming Snake fell to the ground with a bang.

Its neck was bloody and its head was gone.

The women were surprised. The monsters that ordinary teams needed to work together to deal with could only be killed instantly by Xiao Leng.

Thinking of this, their inner feelings rose, and they cast a more tender look at Xiao Leng.

Xiao Leng listened to the voice of heaven in his mind.

[Kill the Gray Winged Snake, Combat Experience +520]

Then he ordered Liu Mei and Li Sisi to collect the body of the Gray Winged Snake, and the group continued to set off.

Not long after, a majestic ancient city stood before everyone.

The map updated the landmark here.

[Gray Snake City]

Looking up, you can see a stone wall over ten meters high, with a gray and white surface and gaps in some places.

Above the horizontal line of the stone wall, there are houses of different styles scattered in an orderly manner.

It can be clearly seen that the houses at the foot of the mountain are smaller and should be inhabited by dwarves.

Going up, they correspond to humans, orcs, and elves in turn.

The palace at the top is extremely magnificent, and it should be the giant palace.

The city gate is about twenty meters wide, and the beams above have collapsed long ago, and the rubble is piled up in the middle of the path leading up the mountain.

While Xiao Leng was looking at it, the members of the guards were already cleaning the aisle.

"Leave it there, let's go up and take a look."

"Yes, Commander!"

The members of the Royal Guard looked at Xiao Leng gratefully. These stones were very large, and it might take a giant to clean them up.

When Xiao Leng passed the city wall, he saw a series of reliefs on it.

The images vividly depicted some half-human, half-snake creatures, which looked like intelligent creatures.

What does this have to do with the gray-winged singing snakes on the gray snake grassland outside?

Xiao Leng was puzzled and found that the Royal Guard stopped at the intersection in front.

"What's wrong?"

He stepped forward, and the captain of the Royal Guard quickly explained:

"Commander, look over there..."

The intersection behind the city gate is divided into three forks, and the Royal Guard may not know which one to take.

Xiao Leng decided to conduct a carpet search, not letting go of any forks.

He was about to say that he would split into three teams and disperse, but suddenly he opened his eyes wide and stared at a house on the side of the fork in front.

Because it was not illuminated by the light, the thing hid in the shadow corner, and it was easy to ignore it at a glance.

However, when he saw something out of the corner of his eye, he slowly moved his eyes over.

He was startled suddenly.

It was a half-human, half-snake creature, with a dark brown rag on its upper body.

It was staring at Xiao Leng and his group outside with a curious look.

Xiao Leng then understood what the captain of the guards meant just now.

They couldn't tell whether the half-human, half-snake thing was a human or a monster, so they asked him cautiously.

At this time, the women around Xiao Leng also found that there was a monster hiding in the room.

They all cried out in surprise and found it incredible.

"Oh my God, does that monster live here?"

"It doesn't look like a monster, it seems to be thinking."

"Is it a monster? If it is, let me try its ability."

"Can we communicate with it?"

"Hey, it's coming out!"

The guards were very nervous when they found that the snake man was about to leave the house, and they each drew their weapons and prepared to fight.

At this time, there was a creaking sound, and the rotten wooden door full of insect holes was closed by the snake man with one hand.

Bang!

The door was closed tightly.

On Xiao Leng's side, everyone looked at each other.

"Leader, we?"

The captain of the guard asked again.

Xiao Leng nodded and motioned them to go in.

Two members of the guard holding shields and long-pole weapons immediately stepped forward, and one of them poked the wooden door open with a spear.

Suddenly, the entire wooden door fell backwards and broke into several pieces after landing.

Dust was raised on the ground.

Then two members holding one-handed swords and one-handed axes stepped forward. They looked inside cautiously at the door and entered.

The captain of the guard drew out the black iron straight sword and followed the two in person.

After a while, the three of them left the house one after another. The captain of the guard shook his head and said:

"There is an open back door. I don't know where they escaped."

Xiao Leng nodded and thought for a moment, then ordered:

"The guards will be divided into two groups, each exploring the left and right directions."

"Tell me immediately if there is any situation. If there is no situation, meet at the entrance of the palace on the top of the mountain."

"Yes!"

The guards climbed up the mountain along the left and right forks, while Xiao Leng led the girls up the middle road.

On the way, the houses on both sides gradually became taller and the style became more and more rugged.

Xiao Leng and the girls happily rummaged around in every room.

They really got something.

Mu Bingyu opened a black iron treasure chest, and Wu Zi found a parchment scroll that recorded the primary water magic [Water Arrow].

Xiao Leng copied two second-level inscriptions, and gave the other two bronze treasure chests to Liu Mei and Li Sisi.

Compared to these, Xiao Leng was more concerned about the decorations in each house.

There were no beds in any house, nor were there any sleeping decorations such as kangs, tatami mats or floor mats.

However, places like kitchens, toilets, and storage rooms were quite common.

What he needed to pay most attention to was that there was an extremely strange room in almost every house.

The four walls and ceiling were covered with strange symbols in black ink, twisting and turning to form the shape of a snake.

There were many circles on the ground, which roughly looked like the Bagua map in the previous life.

Could it be some kind of evil taboo magic circle?

After seeing this pattern, Xiao Leng went to the next house. At the door of a similar room, he and Liu Mei and Li Sisi were stunned for a moment.

There was someone inside!

It was the half-man, half-snake that disappeared before.

It was seen sitting motionless in the center of the black magic circle, with its back to Xiao Leng and the other two, looking like it was in a trance.

Soon, Xiao Leng discovered that it was a stone statue with the help of the [Sacred Eye], and strode in.

Liu Mei and Li Sisi stopped at the door and did not dare to step forward.

Xiao Leng walked around to the front of the snakeman statue. When he saw the statue's face clearly, he was shocked.

The orc's iconic lower jaw teeth actually grew on this statue.

Could it be that this statue was an orc before?

How did he become half-human and half-snake?

Or did he originally have the genes of half-orc and half-snake?

With countless questions, Xiao Leng went to the next room with a statue. After walking around to the front, he was stunned again.

This time the snakeman statue actually had elf ears.

Could it be that they were really elves and orcs before, and for some reason they became half-snakes?

Xiao Leng stretched out his hand, put it on the snakeman's shoulder and shook it twice.

The dust on the surface fell off.

Thinking of the snakeman he met at the fork in the road, Xiao Leng turned around and subconsciously looked in the direction the snakeman statue was facing.

There were strange black symbols on the wall.

Xiao Leng looked blankly, as if he was looking through the wall into the distance.

In an instant, a burst of electricity flashed through his mind.

All the snakeman statues he met were facing the same direction.

Mountaintop Palace!

It seems that we can only go to the top of the mountain to find the answer.

Xiao Leng did not give up and tried to break the arm of the snakeman stone statue to see if the snakeman would come back to life.

Bang!

The gray-white stone arm broke and did not make a sound when it fell to the ground, even though the room was very quiet.

At the door, Liu Mei and Li Sisi still did not dare to come in, standing there and looking curiously.

Xiao Leng looked down at the broken arm, there was nothing strange, just an ordinary stone.

He shook his head and walked towards the door. Everything could only be said after going up the mountain.

Just thinking this, he found that Liu Mei and Li Sisi at the door opened their mouths in fear, as if they were saying something to him.

But he did not hear a word clearly.

Then he saw Liu Mei and Li Sisi getting farther and farther away from him, turning into a tiny light point and disappearing in the darkness.

There was only silent darkness around.

The snakeman stone statue, which was originally sitting in the middle of the ground, slowly turned its head mechanically, and its eyes emitted a faint green light.
