After leaving Flowing Fire City, Minghe asked: "Shall we go to Juetian City now?"
"No, go to Huangquan City," Xu Zimo shook his head and said.
"Are you going to help Old Man Wu find his son?" Ming He was startled and then reacted instantly.
"Go and get Old Man Wu's heirloom stone, and then tell him that I will accept his request," Xu Zimo replied.
"But if you don't help him find his son, he will definitely not give you the heirloom stone in advance," Styx replied.
"That's why I asked you to bring it over," Xu Zimo replied calmly.
…………
There have been legends about Huangquan City for a long time.
This was once an ordinary city.
Probably a few hundred years ago, almost half of the city's residents died tragically in one night.
From then on, the whole city seemed to be burdened with a curse.
Except for the remaining half of the city residents, anyone else who enters the city will die.
No bones remain, no trace left.
In the early days, some people came to live in Huangquan City specifically, hoping to get out of here alive and break the legendary curse.
But in the end, as more and more people died, this place gradually became a dangerous place.
Listening to Styx's introduction, the two of them had arrived at Huangquan City.
Old Man Wu's heirloom stone was obtained by Xu Zimo, and it was Ming He who snatched it from Old Man Wu.
Although it was robbed, Xu Zimo didn't just walk away. He still planned to go to Huangquan City to have a look.
………
Looking at the gloomy city in front of him, Xu Zimo always felt a little depressed inside.
The city gate was wide open and there were no guards on either side.
When the two of them walked into the city, the streets were a little deserted.
Except for the occasional few townspeople walking around, there is almost no popularity.
It was broad daylight and everyone seemed to be hiding in the room.
"Are you afraid?" Xu Zimo looked at Styx and asked with a smile.
"What do I have to fear as a person in the divine vein realm, unless this demon has already entered immortality," Ming He shook his head and replied.
"Besides, there's still you."
Hearing Ming He's words, Xu Zimo smiled, and the two of them continued walking towards the city.
Xu Zimo looked around and found that there was nothing suspicious about Huangquan City.
Apart from being relatively deserted, it is no different from other cities.
When the residents in the city saw Xu Zimo and the others, they glanced at them from a distance and hurried away.
After walking around the city, the two found nothing unusual.
In the blink of an eye it was already afternoon.
There is only one inn in the entire huge city.
“Yellow Springs Inn.”
Xu Zimo walked into the inn, and the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him.
"Are the two guests staying in the hotel?" the shopkeeper asked quickly.
Xu Zimo nodded, and after the two opened the room and prepared meals, they started chatting with the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper's surname is Sun, and he has lived in Huangquan City for more than a hundred years.
"Shopkeeper Sun, your inn is really deserted," Xu Zimo said with a smile.
"With all the fuss about the curse, how can anyone come to stay here?" Shopkeeper Sun raised his head and said.
"You have lived here for so long and haven't you noticed anything unusual?" Xu Zimo asked.
"No, all the people who came here have disappeared, and I don't know how they disappeared," Shopkeeper Sun shook his head and replied.
"Let me ask you personally, did a young man stay here a month ago?" Xu Zimo said.
"You are the only inn in this city. If he comes to Huangquan City, he will definitely stay here."
"Yes, you are here to see him, right?" Shopkeeper Sun smiled and said.
"Don't ask me. He stayed at my place for one night and disappeared the next day. I don't know anything."
"Really?" Xu Zimo pondered slightly and said with a smile, "You are very calm."
"You've seen it a lot, and you've gotten used to it," Shopkeeper Sun said, shaking his head.
"Since the curse appeared, no one who has come here has ever come out alive."
"Then how much do you know about curses?" Xu Zimo asked with a frown.
"The natives in the city will die if they leave the city, and the strangers outside the city will die if they enter the city. That's it," Shopkeeper Sun replied with a smile.
"You should also be careful. It's been a long time since I saw a repeat guest at this inn."
Looking at the shopkeeper's leaving figure, Xu Zimo smiled with interest.
"interesting."
……………
The sun was setting in the west, and the yellowing sky was gradually getting darker.
As darkness enveloped the place, the Huangquan Inn also became lively.
Many residents from the surrounding area come here to eat.
Compared to the quiet and eerie city outside, the atmosphere inside the inn seemed very lively.
"Old Suntou, I heard that a new guest is coming to your inn today. You have to entertain them well."
At the table next to him, a man wearing a black gown laughed.
There was also a big man who was so drunk that he was shaking when he walked. He came to Xu Zimo's table holding a wine jar.
He smiled at the two of them and said, "Let me interview you two.
With what mentality did you come to our Huangquan City?
I’m tired of living, but it’s just out of curiosity.”
"Look at the shape of my mouth," Xu Zimo smiled and said, "nm!"
"What do you mean?" The big man's expression suddenly changed and he said sternly.
Xu Zimo directly grabbed the wine jar on the table and threw it at the big man's head.
Just listen to a "bang" sound,
The wine jar broke open and all the wine spilled out.
Ming He on the side was stunned, as if he had not yet reacted to Xu Zimo's performance.
"What do you want to do?" Shopkeeper Sun next to him asked with some confusion.
"Are you still pretending?" Xu Zimo said with a smile.
"The scum of the undead."
After hearing Xu Zimo's words, everyone in the inn was stunned.
"So you discovered it."
Everyone in the inn had weird smiles on their faces.
The skin on their bodies was torn apart, and monsters emerged from inside.
These monsters are short in stature and have gray-brown skin.
Their palms are twice as long as normal humans, and their nails are sharp and slender.
Among these monsters, some are thin and some are very fat.
At this moment, even the innkeeper Sun slowly shed his skin.
Styx looked outside the inn. A large group of monsters surrounded the entire inn.
All the residents of this entire Huangquan City have turned into monsters.
"How did you find out, I didn't even notice," Ming He looked at Xu Zimo in surprise.
To know the existence of his divine vein realm, no abnormality was found before.
Xu Zimo smiled and said: "Let's deal with these guys in front of us first."
As for how he discovered these people, Chaos naturally told him.
The demon race and the undead are the two major races in the wilderness era.
For Chaos who has actually seen the undead, he can instantly detect the aura of the undead on the opponent.
Moreover, Chaos also told him that the undead in this city were just puppets, and the real murderer was hiding in the dark.
