Chapter 316
In the following narration by the black-haired mouse, Chen Jing and his friends roughly knew the reason for the migration of the valley tribe.
Yes.
In the biological forbidden area of the western continent where nothing seems to grow, a humanoid monster suddenly appeared one day.
It was about two meters tall.
It had very long arms.
But its whole body was dark black, like a shadow.
It was like a walking humanoid shadow, except that its eyes were not black...
"Their eyes are very white, with only a small black dot in the middle. When they stare at you, it's like they can pull your soul out of your body..." The black-haired mouse seemed particularly scared when he said this, "But they won't attack us, they will only attack humanoid creatures, whether they are old descendants or polluted species... they will be eaten by them!"
According to the black-haired mouse, the attack methods of these monsters are also very strange. They will first merge themselves with the target, and then eat themselves bite by bite.
"Possessed?" Qiao Youning was startled. After practicing in the temple for such a long time, she also had a lot of knowledge about this kind of creatures. "Is it a spirit?"
"I don't know."
The black-haired mouse shook his head and then said something more shocking.
"You also know that this continent is protected by the ancient gods, right?"
"Yes."
"Those monsters are not restricted by the ancient gods. They can kill here at will and make any sound. No matter what they do, they will not be punished by the ancient gods..."
"Are you kidding me?" Chen Bofu looked at it half-believingly.
"Really!" Seeing that the old man didn't believe it, the black-haired mouse hurriedly explained, "I saw them roaring in the wilderness with my own eyes!"
"Could it be that the ancient gods fell asleep?" Qiao Youning made a guess. After all, the Buddha Mother in the temple would occasionally fall asleep.
"Asleep... If it really fell asleep, I would be afraid of nothing!"
Chen Bofu stood up directly and spoke a lot louder.
"Let's go! I'll take you to the depths of the wasteland! Maybe we can catch up with the dinner in the fortress after we're done!"
"I'm talking about them..." The black-haired mouse looked at Chen Bofu with admiration, thinking that this old man was not an ordinary person, and he was so brave that he didn't care about life and death, "Except for them, creatures will still be punished by the ancient gods..."
With a whoosh.
The old man squatted down again obediently.
"Fuck you." Chen Bofu bent his waist and poked the black-haired mouse, and the other party staggered after poking his finger, "You want to hurt me, right!"
"You don't even listen to me finish my words..." The black-haired mouse was so wronged that he almost cried, but he didn't dare to hide from the old man's finger.
"If you have anything to say, just say it! If you keep keeping me in suspense, I'll pickle your whole family and make them into bacon!"
"Oh, don't scare it... This little guy is pretty cute..." Chen Jing couldn't help but persuade him, and then looked at the black-haired mouse, "You seem to know a lot about this wasteland?"
"I know!" The black-haired mouse looked at the good-looking human in front of him, and the fear in his heart suddenly subsided a lot, "I know everything you want to know! For example, those monsters! I know what they do in the wasteland every day!"
"How do you know so much?" Chen Bofu flicked his finger again, feeling that this mouse with only Sequence 2 strength was bragging.
The black-haired mouse covered his head and looked at Chen Bofu aggrievedly, but his tone of voice was faintly proud.
This pride came from its awakened ability.
This is an ability that is enough for their family to settle down in the Western Continent.
"Of course I know everything. After all, this is my ability. I can hide my breath and make my body transparent."
The black-haired mouse put his hands on his waist, and his eyes were sparkling with excitement.
"Actually, I, Shushu, like to hide in dark corners and peek at others, and others don't know it, hehehe..."
Chapter 416 The Lost Dungeon (Part 1)
Although this black-haired and white-bellied mouse is very cute, with big ears and anthropomorphic movements and expressions, it is very similar to Jerry in the cartoon, but it must be said that... when it rubbed its hands and laughed, everyone felt an indescribable vulgarity.
"This mouse is so greasy." Yan Que couldn't help but complain, saying with a look of disgust, "I feel that it is definitely not a good mouse."
"How can you judge a mouse by its appearance..."
Wei Nan reached out and gently poked its belly, feeling like poking a cotton ball, and immediately found it very funny.
"I think this kid is quite cute, haha."
"Do you know what those monsters do in the wasteland?" Chen Bofu asked suddenly.
The black-haired mouse nodded cautiously.
Although it was very afraid of the old man in front of it who exuded a terrifying aura, when it came to understanding this wasteland... it dared to admit that no one dared to admit that they knew the first place!
"I've been here before, but I've never seen you." Chen Bofu walked to the side and sat down, lit a cigarette for himself again, and stared at the black-haired mouse expressionlessly, "When did you come to settle here?"
"A year ago." The black-haired mouse said truthfully, and then hurriedly added, "I used to live in the depths of the wasteland because I liked the tranquility there, but now it's getting more and more lively, so I moved here."
"How can this damn place be lively?" Chen Bofu was stunned.
"Oh, you know, although this place is called a biological forbidden zone, there are still many mindless old descendants and polluted species. They either want to settle here and survive, or they are looking for underground cities..."
Hearing what the black-haired mouse said, Qiao Youning, who was standing aside, couldn't help but nodded, saying that the temple did have a lot of operations related to the underground city.
"Three thousand six hundred years ago, there was a quite prosperous human settlement in the Western Continent. Since the Western Continent was always shrouded in extreme weather at that time, that settlement was built underground, which is the so-called 'Bliss City' ”
"City of Paradise...yes! It seems to be called that!" Chen Bofu patted his thigh lightly and said with a sudden realization, "Although Randolph and I didn't find the entrance to the ruins of the underground city at the beginning, there are indeed many places. I saw an inscribed stone tablet, and the ancient text on it was translated by Hassad, which is the City of Paradise! "
After saying that, Chen Bofu seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly looked at the black-haired mouse.
"Baby, do you know the location of the dungeon?"
The black-haired mouse didn't say anything, with a hesitant look on his face. He obviously knew the answer, but didn't want to say it for some reason.
"If you don't want to say it, I will..."
Before Chen Boxu's threat could be uttered, the black-haired mouse scratched its head and began to pace back and forth in confusion. Its round white belly swayed like a balloon filled with water.
"I just don't want to kill you..." the black-haired mouse said calmly, "That place is very dangerous... everyone who has ever found it has died... including the alchemists in the Hanging City and the monks in the temple... In fact, every few Someone will find it every year..."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Youning's expression suddenly changed.
"Have there been any records of disappearances of the monks sent by your temple to the Western Continent to search for the underground city?" Chen Bofu turned around and asked.
"Yes... not a few..." Qiao Youning said in a low voice.
"Actually, the monks from Yongye City have also been here, but their frequency is much lower than that of the other two sects, and they have not been lucky enough to find the dungeon... But this can be regarded as their good fortune. ?" said the black-haired mouse.
"Damn it, then if we didn't find it last time, it can be said that we are lucky?" Chen Boxu didn't like hearing what the mouse said and glared at it angrily.
"That place depends on luck." The black-haired mouse did not see the anger on Chen Boxu's face and said to himself, "The underground city is suspended in the River Styx. People will only discover it when it floats up."
"Styx??"
Qiao Youning was startled again, only to find that many of the information spoken by the black-haired mouse could be matched with the records in the temple.
"What Styx?" Chen Boxu looked confused.
Although the old man once personally led a team to the Western Continent to search for dungeons, that treasure hunting experience can only be described with a capital word "miserable".
Not only did he find nothing, but he was also "chopped" by the ancient god of the Western Continent. If he hadn't run so fast, he would probably have to explain it here.
So he gave up exploring the Western Continent afterwards. Over time, he lost interest in the place, and he stopped learning about the Western Continent.
As for Qiao Youning, she came from a monastery.
Since the sect's base is closer to the Western Continent, the frequency of the temple's exploration of the Western Continent is much higher than that of the Monastery and the Hanging City.
The temple has probably obtained the most useful information and clues over the years...
"According to legend, the 'City of Paradise' built underground in the Western Continent was destroyed by the ancient gods who lived in the Western Continent."
"Yes." Chen Bofu nodded while holding a cigarette. "Anyway, I heard that's the case. No one knows the specific situation."
"Grandpa Chen, in the legends you have heard, have the ancient gods always lived in this continent?" Qiao Youning looked at the old man and asked curiously, "Before the emergence of the 'City of Paradise', the ancient gods already existed ?”
"It seems so..." Chen Boxu murmured, "At first I also thought it was strange, since the ancient god of the Western Continent has such a bad temper, how could he still tolerate the underground city existing for five or six hundred years."
"You have the right idea."
Qiao Youning whispered, regardless of the confidentiality level of the information, and explained it directly to the people present.
"The original Western Continent, like other wastelands, was a death zone where pollutants were rampant. However, because the pollution left over from the old war was too heavy, the natural climate here became very extreme, and the air was filled with invisible... The filth of the past.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Youning started drawing on the ground with her fingers.
"At first, the filth only gathered in the depths of the wasteland, but later it spread out for unknown reasons. This also resulted in the Western Continent having the largest number of polluted species and the strongest strength for thousands of years."
"Later, a group of powerful ancient descendants appeared here. They joined forces with all the tribes and wanderers in the Western Continent, and launched a protracted war of extermination targeting the local polluted species..."
"This war lasted for hundreds of years until 3,600 years ago. The war ended with the victory of the Old Descendants. The 'City of Paradise' they built underground in the mainland was also completed in the same year."
Speaking of this, Qiao Youning paused for a moment, and her tone became more solemn.
"That city built underground is actually the cradle of the ancient gods!"
Chapter 417 The Lost Dungeon (Part 2)
Although the ancient descendants in the other world are all kinds of strange and look like anything, Chen Jing has always felt that they are no different from humans, or that... when the intelligence and thinking of living creatures reach a certain level, they actually develop in a similar way. trend.
At least that's the case in most cases.
then.
The city of Paradise is full of old descendants.
without any exaggeration.
At least 40% of the old descendants of the entire other world are in Paradise City.
"At that time, Paradise City was the largest gathering place of ancient descendants in the world, and it was also the only force that could ignore any sect rules and even launch a full-scale war because of a disagreement."
"The city lord of Paradise City is an extremely powerful old descendant and the spiritual leader of all the old descendants of Paradise City. They originally wanted to create a city purely composed of old descendants, in which everything is equal..."
"I seem to have heard this concept from others." Chen Jing touched his chin thoughtfully, and Li Mobai's figure flashed in his mind, and then another blurry figure flashed past, which was the preface. night.
"Anyway, that's what they thought at first, and they actually started to do it... But the specific development process within their city can be referenced by human civilization in any period."
Qiao Youning smiled, as if she didn't think there was anything strange about this.
“From stability and prosperity, everyone was full of hope, to those in power unconsciously dividing classes, and then the whole city began to deteriorate, as if it was stuck in a quagmire... Everyone was struggling in it, and no one could climb out. "
During Qiao Youning's narration, Chen Jing listened very carefully. In other words, everyone present, including the black-haired mouse, listened very carefully with their ears perked up.
"The city was originally connected to the outside world, but later due to a high-level meeting, the city closed its doors and completely isolated itself from the world. Only a small number of loyal guards could obtain the qualifications to enter and exit Paradise City to search for resources and materials from the outside world. …”
"Except for those guards, the rest of the lower-class descendants have become the property of the higher-ups. The meaning of their lives is to squeeze out their own lives in exchange for corresponding value and contribute to the higher-ups."
"Those who are lucky become the 'toys' or 'tools' of the higher-ups, while those who are unlucky become the 'fuel' of the city. They spend the rest of their lives squeezing their own value to maintain this perfection in their minds. world……"
"No one resisted?" Wei Nan asked with a frown.
"No."
Qiao Youning shook her head and calmly recounted this period of history.
"Those descendants of the lower class have always lived in the confusing dream created by the high-level powerful. They firmly believe that this city is the most beautiful and safest in the world, and that the outside world is where wild beasts run rampant and there is no order..."
After saying that, Qiao Youning suddenly smiled.
"But you also know that lies will always be exposed one day. After being exposed, some people will never be deceived again."
"Starting from the mutiny that broke out at the Sky Burning Festival in Paradise City, the city was completely in chaos. It was a civil war between the old descendants, and it was also the beginning of the decline of Paradise City."
"The war did not last long. After all, the top combat forces in Paradise City were on the side of power, so the old descendants who participated in the mutiny were quickly suppressed, and only a few people escaped..."
"Among the old descendants who escaped capture, there was one named 'Nora'. Although his strength was far inferior to those powerful beings in Paradise City, he directly pushed the entire city to destruction..."
According to Qiao Youning, the old descendant named "Nora" is probably only around Sequence 3, or even Sequence 2, and is considered the most standard low-level person in Paradise City.
Yes.
A city built by countless descendants with beautiful dreams has gradually been divided into three, six, and nine levels in a not too long period of time.
And he is just such a person at the bottom of the ninth level.
