Chapter 998 The Strange Sculpture with the Sword in the Chest
In the early days, the textual research party dug up world view information in the organ city, and found the prophecy of "the return of the demon to the world".
The mechanism city is the power left by the ancient mechanism masters to fight against "demons".
Now due to unknown events, the organ city has become a ruin, but fortunately, many valuable items have been left behind.
Clockwork airship is one of them.
The players who had qualified for the closed beta followed the mission guidelines, boarded the airship again, and flew to Luoyang City.
Both Super Tomato and Ayi stood on the decks of their respective airships, counting the prepared supplies.
"50 demon-breaking talismans, 40 liters of spirits with added fire damage, 1 clockwork gun, 1000 rounds of evil-breaking bullets, 3 master-level swords, 1 master-level spear, 1 master-level divine bow, rockets, explosive arrows , 60 cold iron arrows each..."
Super Tomato looked at the pile of props he had prepared, and felt that not to mention killing through Luoyang City, at least rushing to the palace should be enough.
The speed of the airship is as fast as ever.
In less than two minutes, he saw Luoyang City shrouded in black and red miasma.
The dense miasma seemed to cover the bowl over the entire city, blocking his view from the sky, and the airship also stopped on the edge of the miasma.
Super Tomato is no surprise—no matter how much the development team let themselves go, they will not allow players to land directly in the imperial city at the beginning of the game, and go straight to the final boss, Anlu Mountain.
Pulling the rope, Super Tomato landed on the edge of the miasma.
But as soon as he landed, the miasma seemed to be alive, and spread over in an instant, enveloping him!
Before Super Tomato could react, a layer of oil-like black traces appeared on the [Mechanism Box] containing many materials. The originally indestructible box quickly decayed, and a layer of lines that were originally invisible and painted with blue-gold dyes were on the box. It emerged from above, and in the next second it exploded into light shards in front of Super Tomato's eyes, and disappeared.
Then - all the props in the organ box spewed out!
The spirits quickly became stinky, and the master-level weapons, clockwork guns, bullets, and various arrows all lost their original luster under the attack of the miasma, and quickly decayed.
The only exception is the wine gourd on the waist.
But the liquor inside also quickly evaporated and disappeared.
Super Tomato watched his grandmaster-level sword break in his hand, and was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
But that's just the beginning.
Soon, black and red miasma—or "demonic air"—began to pour into his body continuously.
Then, all internal organs began to feel burning pain, blood qi quickly dispersed from the body into the miasma, and his body became weaker and weaker.
Super Tomato had a strong sense of foreboding, he quickly opened the character panel, and then his eyes widened instantly——
The high-level martial arts that he had learned with great difficulty were fading rapidly at this moment, and finally disappeared with the dissipation of blood energy, and his strong physique also disappeared.
——He, a kung fu master, was forced to zero in just a few seconds and became an ordinary person.
Even worse than ordinary people!
Super Tomato experienced the rapidly weakening body, and was shocked: "Am I... being fused?"
He looked at the pile of props turned into rubbish under his feet, and suffered a huge psychological shock.
After a while, he came back to his senses: "If you leave here, will these things be returned to me?"
"Surely so?"
"Can't Yunmeng randomly select thousands of people to merge accounts?"
He comforted himself, glanced at the rubbish on the ground reluctantly, took a few steps and turned his head towards the city gate with the only wine gourd left.
...
The black-red miasma was like a dense fog, which greatly affected his vision. Things 20 meters away became a bit hazy, and only an outline of the tall city wall could be seen in the distance.
But before reaching the city gate, Super Tomato first saw a fallen carriage.
It seems that a battle took place here, scattered grains and broken swords can still be seen on the ground, and an iron pot is still standing on the extinguished bonfire.
Apparently it happened very suddenly.
Super Tomato subconsciously lifted the wooden lid on the iron pot.
——Kick every jar that can be kicked, open every box that can be opened, and look for any props that may be hidden. This is the habit of licking players.
However, Super Tomato failed to find anything in the iron pot, but looked at the pot lid in his hand in surprise——
【Pot cover】
[shield]
1 Defense
1 damage
Reversible
Can be equipped
(The pot lid lost by passers-by is worthless to ordinary people, but in the hands of a master, it is not a bad idea to face the devil directly!)——
"???"
"It's a shield?"
"1 defense against the demon god?"
"Wait, Demon God? There really is such a thing!?"
Super Tomato is surprised and bewildered.
But now it's a confidential internal test, obviously you can't find someone to discuss it, at most you can talk to Yi and the others after you go offline, and now you can only continue with the next thing with question marks in your head:
From among the broken weapons, find the only intact sword inserted into the ground——
【Iron Sword】
[arms]
5 damage
Can be equipped
(The iron sword lost by a certain villager is the best sword in their village. With the blessings of the villagers, it was lucky enough to be saved from being destroyed by the miasma, but his master did not have such good luck.)——
"What kind of village has a good sword!" Super Tomato complained with a high desire.
Finally, he picked up the jug of wine that had survived by the campfire, and carefully poured it into his wine gourd.
Afterwards, he walked around the carriage again, and after making sure that nothing was missed, he continued to walk towards the city gate holding the "best sword in the whole village".
"It's okay, at least I didn't have to save the world empty-handed."
With the sword and the wine, the self-confidence of the savior returned to Super Tomato again!
But until he walked to the city gate, he didn't meet any mobs.
——After passing through the thick fog, he only saw the huge sculpture of a general in front of Dingding Gate.
This sculpture is lifelike, it looks almost like a real person, the only unreal thing is his amazing height of more than three meters.
In addition, I don't know why: there is a sword stuck in the heart of the sculpture.
The blade of the sword is almost completely submerged in the body of the sculpture, leaving only the hilt exposed.
Super Tomato looked around the sculpture, a bit confused.
Out of caution, he ignored the sculpture first, but ran to the closed city gate and tried to push it open.
But the city gate was too heavy, and he lost all his martial arts bonuses, and his body was weaker than ordinary people. Even with all his strength, the city gate still remained motionless.
In desperation, he had no choice but to retreat, and came to the only clue again——
The statue looks like stone, but the sword in the heart of the statue is made of iron.
Therefore, it is very likely that the sword was not part of the sculpture, but inserted behind it.
Super Tomato reached out and tried to draw the sword.
But the moment he grasped the hilt of the sword, the vision suddenly appeared!
In front of his eyes, a phantom appeared——
That was my sister Xinxin's illusion!
Silver flames were burning around her, her black hair was loose, and there were a few bloodstains on her face, making her look a bit embarrassed.
Through this illusion, she said to Super Tomato:
"We failed."
"But I know, brother, you will definitely come to me, so I kept the master's sword."
"This is the only sword that can burn miasma and sever immortality!"
"The city has lost its chance and is about to turn into purgatory."
"I may be dying here, but before I die, I have to make one last attempt. At least, I can't let the devilish energy spread further and affect the common people in the world."
"Don't worry, even if I fail, there will be others who come after me. This is our destiny."
"But brother, this is not your destiny."
"You still have one more chance to choose: don't enter the city, turn around and leave now."
Through this layer of fantasy, Xinxin watched Super Tomato tenderly, and said the last few words:
"But if, you decide to stay, then—"
"Pull out this sword!"
"Be a hero!"
The silver light dissipated, and the phantom also faded.
After watching the illusion, Super Tomato froze in place:
"What the hell? My sister is dead!??"
