The former site of Qinglinburg.

This once extremely prosperous and lively big city has now completely become a dead city.

The city gates cast by iron wood and the castle carved with white jade have all turned into ruins. The noise that resounded through the streets in the past was now replaced by dead silence.

Looking around, there was only a piece of lifeless gray in the field of view. The red flesh and blood that originally covered the whole city shrank and collapsed one after another, like strips of meat dried in an instant, almost losing all their vitality, leaving only ugly folds, like fields covered with volcanic ash, with gullies everywhere.

In this gray and dead world, a rustling sound of footsteps broke the original calm.

"My God...what the hell happened?"

The breeze blew away the grey mist, and a strong dwarf appeared outside the city gate, looking at the broken walls full of devastated walls, his face full of shock.

Qiaoshan couldn't believe the scene before him. When they left the city, although the red and flesh had occupied most of the area, it still did not cause such a devastating disaster.

However, in just two days, the entire Qinglin Castle has turned into a ruin, and the prosperity of the past has disappeared, and even the buildings have been eroded.

Qiaoshan swallowed his saliva, and after a period of struggle in his heart, he finally decided to go into the city to take a look. He carefully stepped on the gray folds that seemed to have been completely stiff on the ground, and stepped over the overturned city gate with some difficulty.

Half a day ago, he woke up from the mountain range and found that there was a brand new yellow iron wood hammer in his hand. He realized that the "hot spring" was not just an hallucination.

It is very likely that I really met that famous ancestor!

At that time, Qiaoshan couldn't help but fall into a dilemma. The ancestor's instructions when he "lefted" were still vivid in his mind, but the other party also said that the choice was in his own hands. Even if he was willing to agree to this request, the future would be full of dangers and he would die tragically at any time.

Having witnessed the miserable appearance of Qinglin Castle with one's own eyes, Qiaoshan naturally knew what it means to go back. It was not a field that ordinary people like him could involve. It could even be said that it was a world that only gods could touch.

What's more, I did meet a "living" god!

Will went through a lot of hardships to save his people, so naturally he hoped that they could survive. So even if he turned around and ran away, Will would not blame him, and might even be even more relieved.

If you die for a lifetime, if you take a step back, you will be peaceful in the world.

Qiaoshan decisively chose the former.

Xiliu's last words were considered to make a complete determination for him-

"If you want to run, leave the utopia, here... is destined to be destroyed."

Born in a utopia and died in a utopia, this is the most essential and purest belief of Qiaoshan as an ordinary person.

According to the ancestor's wishes, if he chooses to escape, the utopia will be completely rescued, so there is no need to stay. If you want to survive, you must go to other continents.

I have seen too many life and death along the way, and even Qiaoshan, which has always been alone, is still moved.

He wanted to do something for his country and seek justice for those dead friends - even in the end, Qiaoshan still couldn't figure out who the culprit of the tragedy of Utopia was, and he had no ability to avenge those who knew each other.

But these did not prevent Qiaoshan from making up his mind.

Even if you die, you will die in a utopia.

What's more, putting aside these emotions, Will once saved his life. This kind of kindness may be repaid with the chance, so Qiaoshan naturally cannot escape alone.

So he resolutely embarked on the return journey, ready to tell Will the secret that Xiliu left to him.

The road back is much more difficult than when escaping. The red flesh and blood grew wildly like wild weeds. After just one day, it was almost everywhere.

Moreover, their erosion speed seemed to be getting faster and faster. On several occasions, they were still at the end of their field of vision, but in a blink of an eye, they suddenly appeared beside them.

Whenever that "rustling" sound sounded, Qiao Shan felt his scalp numb. Fortunately, he had seen it with his own eyes many times, and it did not scare him to his legs be weak. Every time he almost escaped from the erosion range of red and flesh.

It's strange, I don't know why, every time I encounter red and flesh, Qiaoshan is in a panic and can always leave safely by accident. Once or twice can be regarded as accidental, but when I climbed the mountain for the last time, I found that the retreat around me was covered with red and flesh, Qiaoshan jumped off the cliff with a desperate mentality—

As a result, he was caught by a pine tree growing on the cliff, and there was a small cave not far below, enough for him to live in, and finally saved his life by chance.

Qiaoshan really doesn't want to regard his own fortune as a blessing or a life of great fortune, or this kind of "good luck" is like someone's blessing.

After thinking about it, only the ancestor could do something similar and silently bless him behind his back, so he could get rid of danger and escape.

Otherwise, with his body as an ordinary person, how could he survive the red flesh and blood that spread like a plague?

If I had known that the expansion speed of red flesh and blood was so terrifying, Qiaoshan's confidence that he had finally strengthened was probably greatly reduced.

However, now good luck seems to have been used. The top and bottom of the mountain are full of red oceans, and the retreat path has been completely blocked, so I can only wait for death in this cave.

I was searching for food on Qiaoshan in despair, thinking that it was to jump down and become red and flesh food, die a little more quickly, or stay in the cave, and be taken away by hunger and thirst, and eventually turn into a mummy.

Just as he was hesitating, the "miracle" happened again.

First, the gray sky suddenly burst out with light, and then there seemed to be some violent explosion in the distance, and a strong wind swept over and almost scraped Qiaoshan out of the cave.

After finally fixing himself, Qiaoshan was surprised to find that the red in his vision was fading away little by little!

He was brave enough to poke his head out, but was surprised to find that the twisted red flesh like tentacles seemed to have been drained from blood, gradually appearing a gray-black, and soon remained motionless.

Qiaoshan didn't know what happened, but instinct felt that it should be related to the explosion, and the direction of the explosion seemed to be exactly where it was separated from Will.

After struggling at the entrance of the cave for a while, Qiaoshan put his heart on his back, climbing the cracks on the rocks on the cliff as if walking on thin ice, and slowly returning to the ground.

The moment he stepped on the ground covered with gray-black folds, Qiao Shan's whole heart was almost in his throat. Fortunately, there was no unexpected change. The folds were like real "dead" biological bodies, becoming extremely hard.

However, there were still some wrinkles that would move from time to time, which made Qiaoshan's heart tense again. Fortunately, this seemed to be just a struggle before death and there was no sign of active attack.

Following the direction of the explosion, Qiaoshan was moving at the fastest speed. He encountered a small village along the way. If it weren't for the stone sculptures standing at the entrance of the village, Qiaoshan wouldn't even think that there were living people living here.

Unexpectedly, something even more unexpected happened not long after.

After identifying it for a long time, Qiaoshan finally confirmed that this almost completely destroyed ruin was Qinglin Castle, which had just left two days ago.

I actually went around and finally returned here.

This matter seems a bit difficult to understand. The direction of escape was contrary to the place, but in the end he came back.

The only explanation is that Will used some ability to send them to the completely opposite direction. Perhaps in Will's consciousness, the east side of the mainland is safer?

The greater probability is that perhaps the battle Will is facing is too dangerous, so he sent them to the opposite direction and made it easier for them to survive.

Thinking of this, Qiao Shan's eyes couldn't help but feel a little wet. A foreigner, who had obviously had nothing to do with utopia, and had even known him for a short time, was willing to sacrifice to this extent, and he couldn't help but strengthen his determination to bring that secret to the other party.

Although Qiaoshan still doesn't understand what Xiliu told him, it seems to be about the weakness of a certain weapon? But these are all small questions. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as Will can understand it.

To be honest, Qiaoshan is really a psychological shadow for Qinglin Castle. If it weren't for crossing the city, it was the shortest way to get to the other side, he would definitely not want to go in again.

The scene of being attacked by those walking corpses a few days ago is still vivid in my mind. When Qiaoshan walks on the streets without recognition, he always feels that in the shadows of the collapsed ruins, there seem to be pairs of eyes staring at him covetously, which is chilling.

Especially in this dark environment, if there is a slight movement, Qiaoshan's heart will suddenly pull up. His steps, which were originally staggering because he was afraid of stepping on the air, could not help but speed up a lot, but in the end he simply ran away.

"No problem... all the monsters are dead, and there are only ruins left in the city. Think about it, Will may be in a desperate situation now, Qiaoshan, muster up the courage to look like a man!"

Keep cheering myself up in my heart, Qiao Shan felt his nervousness slightly relieved, but he still was unwilling to stop even if he took a breath for half a minute.

After a long and tormented rush, when Qiaoshan was about to hold on, the outline of the city wall on the other side finally appeared at the end of his vision.

Qiaoshan didn’t know how long he had been running, but he could be sure that he would pass through the city this time, which would definitely break his previous shortest time record.

"Sure enough, there is no problem. These terrible pieces of meat have all died!"

The city wall was like a reassurance. When approaching the city gate, Qiaoshan finally slowed down and gasped.

At this moment, an extremely slight shaking came from the ground, and Qiaoshan's undulating shoulders froze immediately, and he raised his head with a stiff expression.

Not far ahead, the originally motionless gray-black folds suddenly bulged rapidly, but the range was very small.

Qiaoshan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the wetness on his back, and couldn't help but feel a little self-deprecating, and he was about to put down the hammer in his hand.

"Gar——"

A strange sound came, and Qiaoshan was completely frozen in place. He raised his eyes in disbelief and found that the folds were essentially different from the previous shaking.

A shadow nearly two meters high was erected in front of him!

Before this, even if there were occasional abnormal movements along the way, the folds trembled at most twice, and there was no such situation as high as the ground.

And it seems that the wrinkles in front seem to be shaping some shape, and are still squirming.

With the prototype of the limbs emerging, Qiaoshan finally confirmed that what appeared in front of him seemed to be a person!

Now he was completely panicked, subconsciously took several steps back, nervously holding the hammer, but he didn't dare to escape with his back.

The city gate is not far behind the "person", and it is also the fastest shortcut to escape from Qinglin Castle. Not to mention whether turning around can run faster than the other party, if a similar situation occurs in other parts of the city, it is tantamount to returning to the tiger's mouth.

Thinking of this, Qiao Shan took a deep breath and a resolute look flashed in his eyes.

Since you can't escape from the side, it's better to take a gamble and rush straight from the front!

It seems that the "person" made of wrinkles has not been fully formed yet. Now may be the last time to escape, so there must be no delay!

At the same time as the idea was born, Qiaoshan's sore legs were once again full of strength, and his feet were faster than before.

The moment he passed by "people", Qiao Shan's ears were all the sound of his heartbeat. The whole world seemed to be still at this moment, as if the "people" would suddenly turn their heads and clap their hands to crush them into meat sauce.

An extremely long second passed, and Qiaoshan rushed over safely from the side, and no danger occurred during this period.

"The bet right!"

Qiaoshan felt happy, and his smile couldn't help but climb up to the corner of his mouth. Looking at the city gate that was so close to him, he felt more and more comfortable as if he had survived the disaster.

However, at this moment, an intermittent and hoarse voice suddenly came from behind: "Who are you...?"

Qiaoshan's entire back of his head was cold, his heart subconsciously stopped beating for a while, and his legs almost lost control and fell to the ground.

Don’t be afraid – don’t be afraid! Don’t look back, the door is right in front of you, there is no problem if you escape, it can’t catch up!

Qiaoshan almost yelled in his heart, forcibly suppressing his anxiety and fear. Mou had enough strength and rushed towards the door without looking back.
