As Li Ling calculated, it only took one day to get out of the water pool. After leaving the water pool area, it would take another seven days for Li Ling and the others to walk out of the swamp and enter a very desolate area.
Speaking of desolate, it's because there is rolling yellow sand everywhere. When the wind blows, the dust flies up to three feet high, covering the road in front of you. Although it is not a desert, it is still yellow land.
"It feels so desolate." Heilin slapped away the blowing dust and covered his lips.
Li Ling walked up to a tall mound and looked out into the distance. In front of him was a land of loess. No lush trees could be seen, but only endless yellow sand. It was neither a desert nor a plain.
Perhaps, it's somewhere between the desert and the plains.
"I can't see any sense of prosperity. I really can't believe that there is a city in such an environment." Li Ling jumped off the high mound and walked slowly towards Heilin and Mohun.
"Are you sure there is a city here?" Mo Hun said a little disbelievingly.
"It's the information that exists in your mind. If you believe in the bamboo slips, I can be sure. If you don't believe it, I can't give you a definite answer." The information in Li Ling's mind is indeed from the bamboo slips of the five-star mission.
within.
"The information on the bamboo slips is correct. Let's go in and take a look first. Maybe the Leafless City is behind this loess? Maybe after walking through this place, there will be a prosperous scene?" Heilin stepped towards
Go out in front.
Li Ling led the Fire Lin Deer to follow, and Mo Hun rode on the lion to cut off the rear.
In the loess land, the soil is very soft. There are no plants growing on the loess. Sometimes, only one or two weeds can be seen. As for the trees, you can't even imagine seeing them in this place. In other words, even
Seeing water is a luxury.
"I understand, this may be caused by drought." Li Ling said with a sudden thought.
"Drought?" Hei Lin said with a slight frown.
"Well, what else could it be if it wasn't a drought? Look, the land here is very soft, indicating that it was fertile before. There are signs of river beds there, there are some remaining roots of dead trees, and there are some animals that have been there.
There were signs, but... I didn’t know the reason later. This area was completely withered. The water was completely evaporated." Li Ling said while guiding the two of them to look at the surrounding environment and signs.
Looking at this dilapidated scene, Li Ling vaguely felt that the dilapidated environment in this area seemed not to be a masterpiece of nature, but man-made, as if a horrific man-made destruction had led to the current Leafless City.
The name Leafless City sounds unusually desolate. There is not a single leaf in the entire city. This can be said to be lifeless.
What surprised the three of them the most was that even though this area was desolate, not even a dead bone could be seen. In other words, not even a living thing had appeared here before.
"Don't you think this place is strange?" Hei Lin frowned slightly, with a killer's natural vigilance, telling her that this place must not be simple.
"I feel like it, but I can't put it clearly. What's so strange about it?" Mo Hun also pressed his chin and said thoughtfully.
"We'd better walk further in. Seeing that it's close to evening now, we hope to find the leafless city before it gets completely dark." Li Ling frowned.
"Yeah." The two nodded in agreement.
The sky gradually darkened, and the last ray of sunlight disappeared in front of the three people's eyes. Fortunately, the shadow of a silent city appeared in front of them.
A city that can only be described as dry.
The walls of this city have been weathered to nothing more than piles of loess, and the moat has long since dried up without a drop of water. The huge city gate is stained with rust, and it seems that if it is pushed, the gate will collapse instantly.
Rotten and decadent.
"This is the first time I have seen such a decadent city. Will anyone really live in this city?" Hei Lin's heart was desolate because of the decadence. It seemed that the wind blowing from the city was desolate.
The general vicissitudes of life.
"I don't think there will be anyone living there. Could it be that this is an empty city, or that the people in this leafless city have already moved away, or that they have all died a long time ago." Mohun suggested in horror.
these insights.
"Let's go in and take a look before we make a conclusion." Li Ling rode the Fire Lin Deer to clear the way. It was very quiet here, and the sound of the Fire Lin Deer walking echoed around.
After entering the city gate, Li Ling felt a strange aura in the city. It seemed that the city did not exist in this world, but was an empty city with a sense of time and space confusion.
Feel.
Depression, fear and inexplicable sadness made the three people's emotions very tense.
There are buildings one after another in the city. Although those buildings have declined, from the outlines, you can still vaguely see some of the city's former glory. The Leafless City is actually a city that has completely declined.
"It seems that there is really no one here." Li Ling looked around and saw only weathered earthen buildings.
"A city isolated from the world has not been discovered for thousands of years. When it was discovered, it turned out to be like this." Silent soul had a sad feeling about this silent and dead city.
The three of them got off their mounts and walked on foot in this decaying empty city. The night sky was dotted with stars, but the night sky here was unusually bright.
Under the moonlight, this ancient city is extremely beautiful, as if it is covered with a light yellow gauze.
Empty city, when Li Ling and the others arrived at the city lord's mansion of Wuye City, which was once still the same size, everyone looked at the mansion and saw that it no longer had the glory of the past.
"Hey, I really want to know what happened in this city? What happened to the people here and everything here?" Mohun scratched his scalp, eager to know more clues.
"We are just passers-by now. There is no need to stay in this empty city. However, tonight, we will spend our time in this dilapidated City Lord's Mansion." Li Ling stepped forward and stepped up the stairs to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
, pushed the iron door with a palm, and suddenly, with an ordinary sound, a big hole opened in the iron door.
Li Ling was shocked, looked at his palms, looked at the rust on his palms, and sighed slightly: "I didn't use any force, but the door was pushed out into a big hole. It shows how long it has been there."
.”
Mohun also stepped forward and pushed, and immediately, the entire door collapsed. The moment it collapsed, endless dust was raised on the ground.
Inside, there is a floor paved with marble. You can vaguely see the shape of the marbles, and some of the floors were not damaged too seriously. You can see the scale and scene at that time.
Walking into the City Lord's Mansion of Wuye City, there are buildings one after another. The tallest building is ten feet long, and the shortest is three feet long. The most central one is the main hall where the City Lord often lives. Apart from a few golden pillars, the main hall is
Apart from still supporting the entire hall, the rest are almost decaying.
When I opened the door of the main hall, the interior was a mess. The so-called furniture, wood, chairs and pillars were all extremely damaged. The eyes were covered with cobwebs, but not a single spider could be seen. In other words, the spiders were all dead.
"Hey, although the environment is a bit bad, it's just for one night. Tomorrow, we will go all the way north to Futian Forest." Li Ling brushed away the cobwebs and dust in front of his eyes, and together with Mo Hun and Hei Lin, they cleaned up the area. At least
Able to lie down.
Mohun cleaned the surrounding area, shook off the dust, straightened up, and said: "Li Ling, tomorrow we will enter the forest thousands of miles away. That is the beginning of the real danger. We will continue to face some things we have never seen before."
The ferocious beasts that we have lived through have also faced some terrifying alien races.”
Mohun's words caught Li Ling's attention.
"Alien race?" Li Ling recited several times silently in his mind, and then asked out loud.
"Well, half human and half beast." Mohun said solemnly.
"Half man, half beast?" Li Ling and Hei Lin both said in surprise at the same time.
Although Hei Lin is from this world, he has no idea about the half-human, half-animal race and has never seen one before. It is normal to be surprised.
Li Ling was surprised because he felt that the species were so rich. (To be continued...)
