Everyone Says I'm the Demon King [Unlimited]
Chapter 23 Two Cities (17)
Gu Xuezhong walked forward with a gloomy face.
Taking advantage of the chaos in Yeli City, he and Cheng Zhenhua used props from Points Mall to loosen the bonds, broke open the door of the prison car, and fought with the guards. In the end, according to general principles, they gave priority to rescuing Kang Yu and Wang Mingyue .
During this period, Gu Xuezhong would look at Lu Fengdeng's side from time to time to ensure the safety and existence of the other party.
Unexpectedly, they just turned around to find a weapon to defend themselves, and Lu Fengdeng ran away with the skeletons!
When Gu Xuezhong turned his head, with his eyesight, he could barely catch a glimpse of the ruthlessly leaving back.
Gu Xuezhong's expression suddenly condensed, and he immediately set off to walk in the direction where Lu Fengdeng disappeared.
When he doesn't deliberately act pitifully, the cold and hard facial lines stand out, and the cute and pitiful dog eyes quickly and seamlessly switch to fierce wolf eyes.
None of the other teammates dared to stop him. Cheng Zhenhua and Kang Yu each grabbed a torch that had just been lit, and the other picked up a spear and quickly followed each other.
Even if Wang Mingyue was frightened by the scene of a living person turning into a skeleton in the prison car, they didn't have time or thought to comfort her.
The disappearance of Lu Fengdeng and the frightened Wang Mingyue can tell at a glance which is more important.
Gu Xuezhong moved the tip of her nose slightly.
The smell in the air was very heterogeneous, mixed with the smell of soil and grass, the burnt smell of burning torches, and the stench of rotting meat, all of which seriously affected Gu Xuezhong's judgment.
He tried his best to search for the scent that belonged to Lu Fengdeng in the air, and followed the route he saw before.
As a result, the four ran into the skeleton team coming out of the cave head-on.
This group of skeletons was different from what they had seen before, the number dropped sharply, the scorched skeletons were more or less covered with flesh, and the worst one had half a face, with one eye open and a black eye socket looking at them.
It seems that the situation of the people of Yeli City has been eased.
But in terms of visual effects, this looks more terrifying than a simple skeleton shelf.
As soon as Cecil, the leader, saw them, a greedy look appeared in his eyes.
Her eyes were wild, and her two thin, scorched arm bones waved excitedly: "Catch them! Catch them! Catch them too and enshrine them, so that the sacred tree will come back to life!"
Most of the skeletons behind her didn't even have a complete brain, and echoed like machines:
"Grab it! Grab it! Grab it!"
"Grab it! Grab it! Grab it!"
"Consecrate! Consecrate! Let the sacred tree come alive!"
"Let the sacred tree come alive!"
"..."
Facing it directly is different from seeing it from afar.
This group of half-human, half-skeleton things doing human movements and speaking human language has a serious uncanny valley effect under close observation, which brings a strong visual impact to people.
Holding a spear, Cheng Zhenhua looked at Gu Xuezhong, who was already starting to get irritable, and Kang Yu, who looked like the Statue of Liberty holding a torch, and barely counted his own combat power as two and a half.
Wang Mingyue, who was already trembling with fright, could ignore it.
Two and a half pairs of dozens of skeletons might have a slight chance of winning.
Cheng Zhenhua was thinking about it bitterly, while holding on to the spear and waiting for it.
Just when the situation between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out, and the army of scorched black skeletons was in high spirits and was about to overwhelm them, a voice suddenly sounded above everyone's heads:
"Does anyone want this fruit?"
The voice was clear and calm, and seemed out of place in the tense atmosphere.All the creatures present raised their heads subconsciously, looking for the source of the sound:
A young man was sitting on the huge crown branch of the dead sacred tree above his head.
He was wearing a white racer-back vest, with one hand propped on a thick tree trunk, and the other gently throwing something.
Oval fruit with soft thorns growing on the red skin.Except that it is a little bigger, it is simply a replica of Shenguo.
No, that is the divine fruit!
What else could it be if it wasn't a divine fruit that climbed to the divine tree? !This divine fruit is so big, it is very likely that it is the last essence left before the divine tree withered!
The one with eyes in the skeleton shelf, looking at this fruit, has changed its eyes, becoming greedy, fanatical, and excited.
Those with mouths also answered each other's questions loudly: "Yes!"
"give me!"
"give me!"
"..."
Some skeletons couldn't hold back anymore, and rushed to the bottom of the sacred tree, wanting to climb up.
Seeing that everyone was attracted by this fruit, Lu Fengdeng lightly weighed it in his hand.
Seeing the neck bones of the group of skeletons below tremble slightly up and down with the trajectory of the fruit, his hand movements suddenly stopped.
Holding the fruit, Lu Fengdeng threw it in the opposite direction, and said in a low voice, "Then go grab it."
All the skeletons have been staring at the bright red fruit.At this moment, as soon as it left the man's palm, the skeletons all instinctively started to run.
The skeleton running behind grabbed the spine in front, and the skeleton running in front kicked the ribs behind.Everyone wants to win the ownership of the only divine fruit!
Such a big divine fruit may completely restore it to its original state after eating it, no need to be this half-human skeleton, no need to face the reality that he is already dead.
As long as they eat it, they will remain youthful forever!
The skeletons swarmed to the place where the fruit landed, fighting for each other, stepping on each other, and after a while, there were countless broken bones on the field.
Cheng Zhenhua never expected this kind of development, and kept sighing: "Being defeated without fighting, internal consumption, high, this move is really high!"
Lu Fengdeng jumped directly from the high tree crown, landed lightly, and walked towards them.
Gu Xuezhong stared at him closely.
Lu Fengdeng's face was calm and unmoved, as if he didn't know how much emotional fluctuation his disappearance and appearance had caused to other people.
Kang Yu had never seen such a battle before, everyone was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but said: "Brother Lu, if I'm not mistaken, the one in your hand seems to be..."
Lu Fengdeng reached out and took the torch from him, turned around and threw it in the direction of the giant tree, and said affirmatively, "It's a dragon fruit."
The moment the torch accurately touched the giant tree, the flames suddenly became brighter, and the raging flames shot up into the sky, and the flame quickly licked the top of the tree.
However, such sights were not enough to draw back Kang Yu's attention, he couldn't close his mouth: "Ah, so they got bloody for a dragon fruit?"
When Cheng Zhenhua heard this, he smiled and said, "Oh, little comrade, you don't understand this! This is called soldiers who are not tired of cheating! You don't need a single soldier, let them be in chaos!"
Lu Fengdeng shook his head and walked out: "I didn't lie."
When he said this, he said seriously: "I just asked them if they wanted that fruit. They thought it was a divine fruit."
Cheng Zhenhua: "..."
If it wasn't for the other party's calm expression, he would have thought that this person was here to show off his tricks!
It can be seen from this that this Lu Fengdeng is naturally black!
Kang Yu already had a look of admiration: "Oh my god, brother Lu, you are too good!"
Faced with such compliments, Lu Fengdeng remained indifferent: "Thank you."
Gu Xuezhong on the side quietly stood beside the other party, quietly blocking Kang Yu's sight.He turned his head and smiled, "Brother Lu is really amazing!"
After finishing speaking, Gu Xuezhong showed a pair of pitiful dog eyes, and turned to say aggrieved: "However, Brother Lu's sudden disappearance was too scary, and he didn't say anything before he left. We searched for a long time and couldn't find it, so we were very worried about you."
Cheng Zhenhua at the side: "..."
Talk nonsense with your eyes open!
As far as Lu Fengdeng's quality was concerned, who would be worried about him except the tea master in front of him?They came to Lu Fengdeng because they were worried about themselves!
The father is anxiously looking for the lost child and the lost child is crying for the father. Can the two be the same?
Regardless of whether other people could understand this deep-seated difference, Lu Fengdeng did not.
He nodded and said, "I will try my best to pay attention next time."
Only then did Gu Xuezhong put away the small expression of grievance, and continued to look at the other party with dog eyes, asking round and round: "Why does Brother Lu have dragon fruit?"
Lu Fengdeng said: "It was given by a comrade."
Gu Xuezhong was curious: "Is this comrade a man or a woman?"
Lu Fengdeng said: "Female."
Gu Xuezhong was alert: "Oh, lesbian. How old is she?"
When he said this, he seemed to feel that his purpose was too obvious, and quickly said embarrassedly: "I'm not checking Brother Lu, I'm just curious. If Brother Lu doesn't want to say, then I won't ask..."
Lu Fengdeng recalled Mrs. Xu's cloudy eyes and sagging cheeks, and estimated: "It should be more than 60 years old."
Gu Xuezhong laughed immediately: "The old lady is so nice! But does Brother Lu like to eat dragon fruit? If Brother Lu likes to eat it, I will bring some to Brother Lu next time too!"
Lu Fengdeng shook his head: "No need."
While speaking, the group of them had already left the city of Yeli.
Seeing that the tea master finally finished asking with satisfaction, Cheng Zhenhua interjected, "Where are we going now?"
They didn't ask this question before, so they followed Lu Fengdeng away.Although he trusts each other very much, Cheng Zhenhua is not Kang Yu, and usually he doesn't like to walk around in a daze.
Lu Fengdeng looked at the sparkling waterfall under the sunlight from a distance: "Go to the cave before."
The other party looked like he already knew something.
Cheng Zhenhua found out, Lu Fengdeng, he wouldn't say anything if you didn't ask him.But if you ask him, no matter how boring the question is, he will answer you.
Much like an intelligent chat system that answers all questions.
Cheng Zhenhua wanted to ask again, but suddenly a wave of heat hit everyone's backs, causing everyone to shiver.
When everyone looked back, they saw that the fire in Yeli City was getting bigger and bigger. The flames in the whole city seemed to be expanding outwards, and the flames had already reached the gate of the city.
Lu Fengdeng realized the seriousness of the situation, and immediately said: "Go! Go to the waterfall!"
The group immediately tightened their nerves and started running.
Flame was chasing after them. They raced against the flames, showing almost all their speed and the firmest will. Even if they were out of breath, they did not dare to stop for a moment.
When Wang Mingyue, who was at the end of the team, stepped up the mountain path leading to the waterfall, the flames rushed to the foot of the mountain.
The entire canyon was ablaze.
As soon as Kang Yu set foot on the mountain road, he sat down with his buttocks. After strenuous exercise, his forehead was sweating like rain, panting while waving his hands: "No, no, no, I, I really can't run anymore, huh, huh... "
The whole team was panting badly, only Lu Fengdeng was breathing steadily, with only a layer of sweat.
While waiting for his teammates to rest, he looked down at the canyon below.
Because Lu Fengdeng's performance was so outstanding, everyone present couldn't help but follow his gaze.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
In the huge canyon, there is no such thing as the beautiful mountains and clear waters, lush forests and bamboos that they saw at the beginning, but it is filled with skeletons, like a huge burial pit.
Most of the skeleton frames are scorched black and incomplete, like bones left after being completely burned by the fire.Only dozens of skeletons are white bones, and the bones are complete, and there are still fragments of clothes on these skeletons, which look like modern clothing.
Wang Mingyue suddenly exclaimed: "That! That's Zhao Jia's..."
She stopped talking halfway through, but everyone already understood what she meant.
One of this group of bones is Zhao Jia, and I am afraid that this group of bones is the missionaries who were sent to the sacred tree like Zhao Jia.
There are dozens of people, and there are several batches.
The skeletons at the bottom of the pit are stacked on top of each other, and the pit is full of valleys, distorted and deformed by the burning fire.
The white bones turned black, the scorched bones shattered, and the skull, which stared at the sky with its black eye sockets, gradually collapsed and turned into ashes.
From the angle of the mountainside, you can also see the rising flames distorted into various human faces. These faces are blurred, like skeletons, with wide mouths, and all of them look painful.
The faces gathered and then scattered, as if they were torn apart alive by the flames.Although there was only the sound of crackling and burning, everyone present seemed to hear a terrifying cry from the depths of their souls.
Just like the gods have sent down punishment again, the fierce sky fire will burn everything.
"People are burned in the fire, like entering eighteen layers of hell. The skin is cracked, the nails are peeled off, the flesh is turned into coke, and the bones are turned into ashes. Even the soul cannot escape, howling and twisting in the fire, enduring the fire oil The pain of cooking, the despair of being torn apart."
Lu Fengdeng recounted this passage, with raging flames dancing in his dark eyes: "This is the scene of the evil city-state being punished by the heavens that Sara told me back then. I don't know if one of these faces is his."
He told the cruel and shocking facts in a calm tone, which made goose bumps all over the people present.
When Cheng Zhenhua heard this, he had a vague guess about the current situation.
He couldn't help asking: "Little Lu, do you know anything? What's going on? Why do we have to come to this cave?"
This time, Lu Fengdeng didn't answer him directly, but turned around: "Let's go when you have a rest."
After speaking, he walked towards the end of the mountain path, and jumped into the cave amidst the evaporating waterfall.
After everyone came in, Lu Fengdeng walked and said, "The people in this city take drugs, have promiscuous sex, and kill people. None of them meet the definition of holy. I guess it's not a holy city-state at all, but another city-state. An evil city sent down by the gods for punishment."
After the shocking scene just now, everyone now acquiesced to his guess.
Lu Fengdeng continued: "Although I don't know why this city will see the light of day again, but since it is an evil city-state, then the holy city-state must be somewhere else."
While talking, everyone has reached the end of the cave, in front of the stone wall where they had been before.
"Until I heard the group of skeletons say that they were going to go to the other side of the canyon and enshrine the people there to the roots of the sacred tree. I remembered this cave we encountered before, when there were wide-eyed eyeballs on the stone wall and rotting fingers we mistook for wandering monsters."
Lu Fengdeng held a flashlight and shone on the stone wall.
This time under the strong light, there was no scary scene on the stone wall again, and everyone could clearly see that the color of this stone wall is different, and the color of a large area in the middle is lighter, as if it was newly built.
A hammer appeared out of nowhere in Lu Fengdeng's hand: "It seems that the real holy city-state is behind this stone wall."
As his voice fell, Lu Fengdeng followed the faint cracks in the stone wall to find a precise location with a hammer in his hand, and then struck a few times violently in a row, and the stone wall collapsed in response.
The cave was filled with dust all of a sudden.
At the same time, brilliant golden light shone from outside the stone wall, and through the floating dust, coated the young man's body with a hazy halo.
He lowered his eyes, his expression was indifferent, neither sad nor happy, as if the legendary seraph came to the world.
Countless figures in white robes knelt down towards the entrance of the cave. They clasped their palms together and looked up, their voices pious and excited:
"My lord envoy, you have finally come to rescue us!"
Taking advantage of the chaos in Yeli City, he and Cheng Zhenhua used props from Points Mall to loosen the bonds, broke open the door of the prison car, and fought with the guards. In the end, according to general principles, they gave priority to rescuing Kang Yu and Wang Mingyue .
