With the seven-color divine pearl, I dominate the three realms!

Yan Ge and the others walked along the green and yellow earth road for several hours before they finally found the road.

Then we turned forward and entered a hill. The hill was neither very high nor very big.

Green grass grows on it, occasionally mixed with a few protruding rocks.

The four of them went to the top of the hill and looked down. They saw an ancient city not far below the hill.

Bai Ze said at this time: "After walking hundreds of miles in one breath, my legs and feet are so tired that they are weak."

Qingzhu mocked: "You are a grown man, but you can't endure the hardship as much as a little girl like me."

Bai Ze said: "You don't know. If we were in the water, let alone hundreds of miles, we Shui Ling Tribe people wouldn't feel tired even if we were thousands of miles away."

After listening to Yan Gae on the side, he turned back and said to the two of them:

"There is a city at the foot of the mountain. Why don't we go into the city and rest."

Bai Ze nodded.

"This is the best! If I don't rest, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach Tuyou Mountain, and I'll be dead on the way."

The few people were talking as they walked down the hill towards the city.

When they reached the city gate, they saw that the city gate was closed.

The eaves of the dilapidated city gate are already decaying and drooping.

Bai Ze stepped forward to knock on the door, but his hand just touched the door.

The city gate creaked and fell backwards.

"Oh my god! You broke the city gate!" Qingzhu said angrily.

Bai Ze said with an innocent face:

"This city gate is too weak. It fell down as soon as my hand touched it."

Several people looked in along the fallen city gate and saw that the road in front of the city gate was quiet and silent.

The houses on both sides of the road also had their doors closed and there was no sound. There was not a single person in the whole city.

Qingzhu looked inside and said in surprise:

"Is this an empty city?"

Yan Ji nodded. "It seems like no one lives here."

Bai Ze smiled and said: "Since it is an empty city, we should be casual."

The four of them stepped into the city and walked along the road in front of the city gate.

The black magician walked quietly at the end, looking at the houses on both sides of the road from time to time.

He always felt in his heart that this place was not as simple as it seemed.

"Hey! Look, there's a door open there."

Qingzhu pointed at a house in front of the road and shouted.

The three of them looked in the direction of Qingzhu's finger, and sure enough they saw a house with its door open in front of them.

They walked to the door and looked inside, and saw that the house was empty and silent.

"Hey! Is anyone here?" Qingzhu called three times in a row, but no one answered.

Bai Ze couldn't help but walked in first, found a clean place to sit down, and said to the three people outside the door:

"This is an empty city, there is no one anywhere."

Seeing no one responded, the three of them followed into the house. Yan Gai and Qing Zhu also found a place to sit down and rest.

The black magician was the only one standing in the room, looking around the room with a vigilant expression.

Bai Ze saw that the black magician did not sit down, but just kept staring at the room. Immediately he said:

"Old Hei, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong in this house?"

The black magician shook his head.

"Then what have you been blindly looking at?" Bai Ze asked strangely.

It was almost dusk outside the house at this time, and the light inside the house began to gradually dim.

Yan Gai said: "Everyone is tired! We will stay here overnight and continue our journey tomorrow."

Bai Ze immediately agreed: "That's right! It's time to take a good rest."

When the black magician saw that the room was dark, he used his magic staff to cast a fire spell to illuminate the room.

At this time, the wind suddenly blew outside the house, and the door made a constant squeaking sound.

The black magician felt something strange, so he walked outside the door to take a look.

Unexpectedly, I saw many strange people appearing on the entire city gate road.

Those people's eyes were dull and their steps were slow. They were walking on the road one by one.

"Strange! The city was clearly empty just now. Why do so many strange people suddenly appear?"

Just as the black magician was wondering, he suddenly heard Qingzhu's exclamation coming from inside the room, and he hurriedly turned around and returned to the room.

At this time, several oil lamps were lit in the room.

By the light of the oil lamp, the black magician saw an old man with a half-hunched back and gray beard and hair standing in the room.

At this time, the hunchbacked old man was looking at them angrily.

Looking at the half-hunchbacked old man in front of them, Yan Ge and others were surprised and suspicious.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Yan Gae asked.

The hunchbacked old man said: "You ask me who I am? I also want to ask you who you are!"

His tone was obviously angry.

Yan Gae paused and said, "We are passers-by passing here."

The hunchbacked old man still said angrily: "You are just passers-by, why did you break into my house without saying hello?"

"This is your home?" Yan Gai was a little surprised.

The hunchbacked old man raised his head and raised his voice angrily:

"If it's not my home, it's still your home."

Then he continued nagging: "Young people are becoming more and more rude. They enter other people's homes without asking the owner, and they do so with confidence."

Qingzhu couldn't help but said: "Hey! Who are you saying is rude! You stood in front of the door and shouted before we came in. It's just that you are old and have bad ears. Who can you blame?"

The hunchbacked old man heard Qing Zhu's retort and raised his eyes to look at Qing Zhu.

Seeing her body, deer legs, half-animal, half-human appearance, I couldn't help but shake my head and said:

"You little girl, why are you half-human and half-animal! Could it be that you are a lich from somewhere?"

When Qingzhu heard the hunchbacked old man say this about her, she immediately said angrily:

"You are the lich, and you are still an old lich."

Then he couldn't help feeling aggrieved and cried on Yan Gai's shoulder.

As a result, Yan Gai had no choice but to comfort her.

Seeing this, the black magician had no choice but to say to the hunchbacked old man:

"We were indeed just passing by here. When we came in, we saw no one in the city and thought it was an empty city. Because we were tired from walking, we happened to see the door of this room open, so we came in to rest for a while. We came in uninvited and took the liberty of doing so. Please bear with me!"

When the hunchbacked old man heard what the black magician said, his attitude softened a little. He sighed and said:

"You guys should go quickly! Get out of here before it gets completely dark."

Yan Gae asked doubtfully: "Why are you leaving here? We plan to rest here tonight and leave tomorrow."

The hunchbacked old man hurriedly waved to him and said, "You must not stay here overnight."

When several people heard what the hunchbacked old man said, they felt very strange.

Bai Ze on the side couldn't help but ask: "Old man, why can't we stay here overnight?"

The hunchbacked old man glanced at Bai Ze, then turned around and closed the door. said:

"You are just passing by and don't know how powerful this place is. This city is called the City of Darkness. Every time it gets dark, the people in the city will turn into human demons who have lost their humanity. They will kill everyone who steps into the darkness. The foreigners in the city.”

Yan Ji was shocked and said: "Human demon? Then you are also a person in this city, why..."

The hunchbacked old man sighed: "The reason why I didn't become like them is because I have..."

Suddenly the hunchbacked old man said this and stopped talking.

Bai Ze asked anxiously: "What do you have?"

The old man put away what he had just said and said: "It's nothing, you should get out of here quickly."

Qingzhu said: "If this place is so dangerous, why do you still stay here?"

The hunchbacked old man sighed: "I won't live for a few more years when I am old. I don't want to die in a foreign land after being a guest."

"But even if we want to leave now, we're afraid it's too late."

Qingzhu looked out the window and said tremblingly.

The hunchbacked old man sighed.

"If you hear any noise at night, don't look or ask."

Although a few people were a little confused, they had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Night, dark! There is an eerie tranquility in the entire dark city.

Yan Ge and the others stayed in the room, but they couldn't help but think about the outside world.

Thinking about the various ferocious beasts, poisonous insects, and evil beast soldiers they encountered on the road ahead, they didn't think this place was so scary and powerful.

In this dark city, are there really just some human demons who have lost their humanity, as the old man said?

Several people's hearts were filled with some doubts.

At this moment, a shrill wolf howl suddenly sounded outside the door.

"How can there be the sound of wolves in this dark city?"

Yan Ge and others were very puzzled.

At this time, the hunchbacked old man stood up in a hurry and said to several people seriously:

"You must remember what I just said. No matter what sound you hear, don't look or ask."

Although the four of them wanted to know why, they saw the serious expression on the hunchbacked old man's face and had no choice but to refrain from asking.

The hunchbacked old man opened the door and walked out.

When Bai Ze saw him going out, he also walked to the door and tried to open the door. Unexpectedly, the door was blocked by the hunchbacked old man from the outside and could not be opened.

"This old man is really weird. He didn't let us go out but he went out. Isn't he afraid of the demons here?"

Qingzhu said with a suspicious look.

Bai Ze turned around and came back after hearing this. He smiled bitterly and said:

"This is his place. Since he dares to go out, he must not be afraid of those demons."

Yan Gai stood up on the side.

"I think the strangest thing is the howling sound just now."

"Isn't it just a wolf howl? Is there anything strange about it?"

Qingzhu looked at Yan Gai who looked suspicious and replied.

"Don't you think that wolf howl just now seemed to be calling him?"

Yan Gae's words instantly made the already suspicious hearts of several people even more suspicious.

Qingzhu lowered his head and thought about it, and it turned out that it was exactly what Yan Gai said.

Otherwise, why would the old man immediately seem to be a different person as soon as he heard the howling of the wolf?

Strong curiosity occupied Qingzhu's thoughts.

"Why don't we go out quietly and take a look?"

When Yan Gai heard Qingzhu's idea, he immediately stopped him and said, "No."

"Why not? Let's hide in the dark and take a sneak peek without letting the old man know."

Qingzhu smiled slyly.

"Since we have promised him, we cannot do that."

Seeing that Yan Ji refused to agree, Qingzhu was a little reluctant and looked at Bai Ze who was aside.

But Bai Ze deliberately turned his head away to avoid Qing Zhu's eyes.

At this time, the black magician on the side suddenly said:

"Although the girl is a little more curious, it's not impossible to take a look quietly."

Yan Ji was surprised: "Why, are you so curious too?"

The black magician said: "I'm not..."
