Chapter 55 [Angela's Ashes: White-Roofed Church]
Chen Ke took out his Nokia E63, and sure enough, there was no signal. He used a 2-megapixel camera to take a panoramic photo of the kingdom below the cliff.
The cliff was quite high, and it was estimated that it was more than 300 meters high to the city. The entire kingdom was not too large. Chen Ke looked around. Two city walls separated the urban area. Buildings were connected one after another, with almost no gaps. Most of the houses outside the walls had tiled roofs with chimneys on them, while the buildings inside the walls were mostly decorated with spires and flying buttresses.
This complex of buildings spread from the distant royal city to the cliff under Chen Ke's feet. He lay on the edge of the cliff and looked down, and saw a white spire-roofed cathedral built against the mountain wall.
A road passed through the middle of this shabby building, winding its way to the most glorious royal city inside the wall. Chen Ke could not see any living people. The sky was pale, and the sun was blocked by thick clouds, with only a few white lights shining from the gaps in the clouds.
There were white floating objects in the sky. Chen Ke reached out to touch them and found that they were not snow, but ashes.
He cleaned up his backpack. In fact, he did not consume many bullets in the black box space. So there were still several boxes of flame .45 bullets and ordinary bullets, but there were only 4 precious punishment bullets left.
Chen Ke inserted the gun into the holster and saw a white holy diamond at his feet...
That was Violet's sword.
He picked up the diamond and rubbed it in his hands. With a thought, he summoned the sword.
"Summon the holy object..."
The shape of this sword is similar to the bloodletting dagger, with a black handle and sharp edges on both sides of the broad blade. Looking at the sword from different angles, you can see a slight red halo.
This is the special effect of this sword: flame.
Chen Ke took the sword and knocked it against the mountain wall, making a crisp collision sound with a little spark. Even if it is not ignited, this sword is attached with the power of fire. After ignition, it will become a flame that can be held in hand.
Chen Ke was very satisfied and wanted to turn the sword back into a gem.
"Hmm?"
No matter how he concentrated, the sword remained motionless and maintained its sword shape. At this moment, he suddenly thought of something.
When he summoned the sword just now, it seemed that no lifespan was consumed...
The lifespan countdown showed that there were still 9 hours and 57 minutes of lifespan left. Yes, it was indeed not consumed...
What happened? Chen Ke was confused. Did his ability fail?
No, the lifespan was still counting down second by second. He tried the murderous trigger again, and the red murderous aura rose from behind. After not finding the target, it retracted into Chen Ke's body.
Summoning the holy object here does not consume lifespan! But the holy object cannot be restored to diamond...
He looked at the medieval kingdom under the cliff in confusion, and countless question marks popped up in his mind.
Originally, he thought he was teleported to a remote place by the monster, but when he thought about it carefully, everything here was very abnormal.
It was too quiet, the whole city was dead, and it didn't look like an ancient ruin... Although these buildings were dilapidated, they gave Chen Ke a feeling: there were indeed hundreds of thousands of people living here.
Chen Ke decided to find a way to go down and take a look.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw that his windbreaker and shirt were torn into strips under the monster's claws, and his six abdominal muscles were exposed, which was very cool.
Chen Ke simply took off his windbreaker and shirt, cleaned up his things and threw them into his backpack, and then summoned the doctor's worn-out windbreaker.
In a flash, Chen Ke's upper body was covered by an old Victorian windbreaker. Since it didn't consume his life, he would just wear it.
Clothing artifacts only provide special effects by replacing appearance, so even if he was wearing clothes, Chen Ke felt that he was shirtless, which was really awkward...
Chen Ke wandered around and found that he was just a small platform protruding from the mountain wall. At a corner of the platform, there was a path going down along the mountain wall.
This path can only accommodate one person, and there is a cliff on the other side. Chen Ke looked at the end of the path from a distance, and estimated that there was a cave not far away that could be entered.
He held the mountain wall and walked forward carefully on the path. Because it was downhill, he did not dare to walk too fast, for fear that the gravel under his feet was too slippery, and if he accidentally fell off the cliff, it would be a loss.
Chen Ke tried his best not to look down, focusing his attention on the end of the path, and just walked down halfway.
"Awoo!!"
Suddenly a wolf howl came from the corner at the end of the path. Chen Ke's pupils dilated, and his left hand quickly took out the PPQ.45 and pointed it at the end of the path.
A black wolf walked slowly from the corner and tilted its head to look at Chen Ke.
This is too malicious, there are monsters in such a place! Chen Ke cursed secretly.
The wolf looked at Chen Ke, sniffed first, then growled, and saliva dripped down from the gap between his teeth.
It seems that it has been hungry for a long time.
"+30 minutes"
"+30 minutes"
"+30 minutes"
"+30 minutes"
...
A series of murderous auras rushed towards Chen Ke, and Chen Ke raised his eyebrows. He could handle this intensity. There was no entry displayed next to this wild wolf, which showed that it was a purebred wolf, not a monster.
The first move wins when two enemies meet on a narrow road!
Chen Ke pulled the trigger, and the sound of the gun resounded through the sky, bringing a discordant noise to this silent world.
The wolf had never seen a gun before. It didn't understand why the other party could hurt it without moving. The wolf's head and body were pierced and burned by the flame bullet. The .45 high-powered bullet tore its bones and muscles to pieces, and the flames that broke out burned the broken muscle tissue into black ash.
The wolf fell down the cliff. Chen Ke watched the body fall on the roof below with a dull sound.
Maybe it's not necessary to use so many bullets. After all, the flame bullets are a bit of a fuss against purebred wild animals.
There are still wolves here, which means there is an ecosystem. Maybe you can encounter people.
Chen Ke looked at the kingdom below again, gathered his thoughts, and quickened his pace.
"Awoo!!!!!!!"
Another wolf howl, but this time the wolf howl seemed a little different. It actually made Chen Ke lose 5 minutes of life per second to resist the attack of reason.
Chen Ke stopped and saw several black wolves popping out from the corner. One of them was slightly larger and had entries on his body!

"I understand. Did I just kill your cub?" Chen Ke said.
This monster is a wolf with the ability to attack mentally, similar to a human-faced dog. It is not too difficult for Chen Ke to deal with it now, but the problem is that the trail is too narrow...
However, those beasts don't care about these, and they run towards Chen Ke one after another. Chen Ke cursed inwardly and kept pulling the trigger, shooting the wolves off the cliff one by one.
Maybe there is a wolf den behind the corner of the trail. Chen Ke killed four wolves in a row. Their bodies fell to the city below with burning bodies. The 13 bullets were quickly used up, but many wolves still rushed towards him.
