The Last Dark King

Chapter 589 The Lost Ancient City

Latest website:

Under the thick black fog, a majestic ancient city appeared in front of us. It is located in a depression and is surrounded by the Jianfeng Mountains.

Countless huge stone swords pointed at it, looking very strange. Liszt lost his voice and said: "This is a divine city!" The divine city is the city where the gods lived in the ancient era. Its status is equivalent to the city of the Fire King in the Era of Fire and the Dark Era. The sacred tower in the center is equivalent to the holy fire sacrificial site.

This divine city is larger than the ancient city of Sagus, and its architectural style is completely different. Even the iconic tower was indistinguishable under the shroud of black mist and the numerous buildings.

"Liszt recognized that it was the Divine City at a glance. The members of the Survey Corps really have a very rich knowledge reserve. Rhodes thought to himself, and when he looked over, he realized that the black fog around him had faded, and a thick black fog surrounded him. Around the ancient city and spreading out in the northeast direction, a wall of black mist connecting the sky and the earth was formed.

"What is this? The black mist... seems to have formed some kind of barrier?" Liszt pondered for a moment: "This seems to be some kind of special phenomenon. The black mist is attracted here and gathers in large numbers, with the ancient city For the expansion of the axis, it is like a great wall to resist invasion." No. 7 suddenly said: "I understand, why we have not been able to find other Fire King cities, it is because of this wall of black mist! It isolates the black The natural distribution of fog makes it impossible for us to detect whether there are traces of the presence of the Holy Fire on the other side." The Holy Fire with extremely high intensity can disperse the black fog over a wide range and affect the distribution of the black fog within thousands of yards.

The scope of its indirect impact is usually more than ten times that of the direct impact, or even higher. Taking the Royal City of Trolian as an example, even if you are more than a thousand yards away from the Holy Fire of the Royal City, you can still find unnatural changes in the concentration and stratification of the black mist.

"Have you noticed it?" No. 9 also said.

"These monsters with extremely strong senses seem to be centered in this unknown divine city and distributed in the Jianfeng Mountains. Rhodes nodded, he also felt this way.

"I have a guess that they are guarding this ancient city." Liszt nodded: "There may be some secrets hidden in the ancient city." No. 19 asked: "Your Excellency No. 1, can we bypass the ancient city?" "Liszt shook his head: "I'm afraid not. Look at the wall of black mist. Its concentration has reached the level of three layers. No matter it is the red tear stone, the peripheral vision or peripheral vision cannot resist its erosion. If you force it through, , we will suffer serious corruption. " Rhodes frowned. He knew that the black mist they came into contact with was only a derivative of the real black mist.

The real black mist is the black mist of the source that can corrupt and erode even gods. After its first derivation and dissociation, it formed black water. This is the black mist of the source.

"Initial Development". The secondary black mist formed by the re-derivation and dissociation of black water is

"Second evolution", and so on, until it covers the entire world.

The black mist after "Three Evolutions" has no specific characteristics and can only be distinguished by concentration. The black mist that most people come into contact with is just a thin mist derived from the source of black mist after countless dissociations.

But even such black mist is fatal to human beings. And here we are

Only the protective fire can dispel the black mist above the level of "Three Evolutions". Other than that, all fire creations cannot form effective protection.

Liszt did not carry the Guardian Fire with him on this trip. It is impossible to carry fire while traveling in the dark world. Doing so is not only extremely dangerous, but may also cause the precious fire to be lost in the darkness.

Rhodes looked around and saw that the height of the wall of black mist was at least 500 yards. In the dark world, altitudes above 500 yards are restricted airspace. If you break in rashly, you may encounter unspeakable horrors.

It's also difficult to get around the Wall of Black Mist. It definitely won't look short. They may have to open up a long new route that can't be completed in a day or two.

No. 7 shook his beard and asked cautiously: "Your Excellency No. 1, do you want to try to enter the ancient city?" No. 9 asked back: "Can we go in?" No. 7 explained: "Look carefully, there is no wall of black mist It invaded the ancient city, but fell along its surface. Although the concentration of black fog in the ancient city is very high, it is not to the level of Sanyan." Rhodes looked over, and sure enough, the wall of deep black fog was as he said. It did not fall into the ancient city, but only submerged part of its top.

But Liszt did not agree immediately. According to the principles of the Survey Corps, when encountering such an incomprehensible and extremely dangerous situation, the survey team would usually choose to return the same way and would not take risks.

No. 9 said worriedly: "We'd better return. This is an unexpected situation and we are not fully prepared." This is the safest approach, but No. 19 strongly opposed: "We finally got here. Maybe after crossing the ancient city, we can see the traces of the black mist being dispersed and weakened by the holy fire!"

"But it's too dangerous! To explore the ancient divine city, you must form a battle group of the highest standard. We only have one special combatant!"

"No." No. 7 suddenly said: "This sacred city has probably been abandoned."

"how do you know?"

"Think about the ancient city of Sagus. What did it look like when we first discovered it? The thick black fog and the domain well formed by powerful spiritual energy distorted the space. The surrounding black fog gathered in the middle, forming a black Domain, but this ancient city has none of it, it’s so quiet that it’s terrifying.”

"But this doesn't explain the problem. Look at the highly perceptive monsters around and this unprecedented wall of black mist...

"What No. 7 said is right." Liszt said suddenly.

"I have confirmed that there is no king-level presence in this ancient city." Rhodes was shocked. He is worthy of being the commander of the Survey Corps. He indeed has special reconnaissance capabilities. The initial investigation of Star City was also carried out by He finished it.

"But..." No. 9 wanted to say something more, but suddenly found that the monsters around him were gathering towards them. Their retreat had been closed unknowingly. Not only that, the monsters in the entire area were also gathering together. , all began to move towards them.

"It seems that we have alerted these monsters. They may be a unit." Liszt smiled, his expression not looking nervous.

"We have the only way to enter the ancient city. The noise of fighting so many monsters is too great, and the Bell of Silence cannot cover it."

"Let's go." Liszt took the lead and took the lead in walking forward. Rhodes followed, a little nervous, but more excited about facing the unknown. As long as there were no king-level monsters, there was no threat to him.

After killing the three alert monsters, they arrived under the ancient city. From this perspective, the Black Mist Wall becomes even more majestic, and the huge ancient city looks small against it.

Liszt quickly found a gap in the tall city wall, and the team entered the ancient city through the gap.

The moment they crossed the ancient city, Rhodes felt as if he had entered a new space, and the monsters approaching from the outside world were no longer noticeable.

Looking at it, the black fog in the ancient city is far dimmer than imagined. Almost all the buildings in the city are square, large or small, stacked on everything, like a city made of building blocks.

Most of them were intact and looked like they had not been through combat. Thick dust covered every street and building, and there was an indescribable sense of staleness in the air. This unknown divine city seemed to be frozen in time.

Liszt closed his eyes, pressed his hands on the ground, and began to explore the ancient city with the help of his special abilities.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and said with some confusion: "No suspicious psychic fluctuations occurred." They moved forward and started searching, but there was nothing, whether valuable or not. All the buildings were empty, and even the doors of some buildings had been pried away.

Didn't meet any monsters either. This was the case even after exploring several areas in a row. Rhodes asked doubtfully: "Is this an empty city?" Liszt was not surprised and replied: "It is possible."

"Your Excellency No. 0, you must know that the Divine City is an ancient city that existed in the ancient era. It was an era when gods were active, and after that, it was the era of fire when humans were active. During the era when humans were strong, these ancient cities How could the ruins not be looted?" Rhodes suddenly realized, and then asked: "Then why was the ancient city of Sagus not looted?"

"Because it is too far away. In the Era of Fire, humans were mainly active on another continent. The Gray Earth Continent where we are located is an extremely remote place, and few people come here."

"Our original human hero Trorian also came here with the Holy Fire Seed in order to escape the disaster. "

"And the ancient city of Sagus is still thousands of yards away to the west of us. Although humans were strong at that time, the light of fire might not be able to find such a remote area, so it was left to us to explore." Luo De must feel a little regretful, the danger is gone, but the gain is gone too.

But he suddenly thought: "Why does the powerful and vigilant monster of the black mist still exist?" Liszt pondered: "This may be some kind of ancient city-specific facility that cannot be moved, just like the Ten Thousand Stars Instrument in Starry Sky City. It is harmless to humans, and is even beneficial, so it has not been destroyed or plundered." No. 7 said: "If we find it, we may be able to find a way through the black mist." This inference was agreed by everyone.

But Liszt still searched most of the ancient city meticulously, but still found nothing.

This completely proved Lister's suspicion. So, they set their sights on the sacred tower in the center of the ancient city.

All the secrets are found in it. It is said to be a divine tower, more like a giant square fortress.

There is no city gate or any entrance. The outer layer of the fortress is wrapped in thick black fog. This is the thickest place in the city.

Rhodes immediately had an ominous premonition. And soon, this premonition came true - Liszt found the entrance to the sewer.

"Your Excellency No. 0, let's go in from here. This is what you are good at..."

"Okay! You don't need to say anything." Rhodes interrupted him.

"We'll enter from here, but I have nothing to do with the sewer." Liszt glanced at him doubtfully and did not argue.

After replacing the red tearstone again, they entered the sewers. The complicated sewers immediately overwhelmed their heads, but under the leadership of Rhodes, they successfully entered the underground of the tower.
