The two of them held the iron barrier on the left and right, and we continued to move forward. After walking for more than ten minutes, the sight that appeared in front of us shocked us again. What was in front of us was actually the city gate of an ancient building.
What makes us most unbelievable is that the city gate of this ancient building is white in appearance, but it is not pure white. It looks more like it is made of ice. The city wall is rectangular and about 12 meters high.
It is about 15 meters wide at the bottom, between 15 and 18 meters wide at the bottom, and between 12 and 14 meters wide at the top.
The exact length of the walls on both sides cannot be clearly seen. It is simply endless. The top of the city gate is composed of an arrow tower and a city tower. The gate tower is at the outermost and is used for lifting the suspension bridge. The arrow tower is in the middle. There are square windows on the front and both sides.
Where archers shoot arrows.
The main building is in the innermost part and is the main entrance of the city gate. Normally, the archery tower and the main building are connected by a wall. This area is called Wengcheng, which is used for garrisoning troops. This is what I am most worried about. Once I enter, there will be an ambush.
, we may be the turtle in the urn.
The gate of the city wall is open, as if to welcome us, but it seems like a dead city, with no breath of life at all. The entire city gate is empty, with no officers and soldiers guarding it above, and no people below.
walk.
Except for this ice-like city gate, nothing can be seen around. Thinking about Zhuge Liang's empty city plan, it is probably not as scary as the situation in front of him. At least there is one person, but there is no one near the city gate.
"Oh my god, what is this?" Shunzi looked at the city gate in front of him, his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide as he said. His expression was nothing but surprise.
"It's a city gate, an ancient city gate." Jiao Ba frowned and looked up at the city gate and said.
"Nianle, this... why is there an ancient city gate here? Damn... damn, we have traveled through time and space, right?" The big man was completely dumbfounded, but looking at his expression, he was actually a little excited.
"It looks like I've traveled through time." Now even Shunzi is going crazy.
"It's getting further and further away. There is no time travel. This is a city gate, but... it looks more like a city gate made of ice." Chang Shan said calmly.
"When I first saw it, I felt like it was made of ice. I have seen many ancient city gates, but none of them were of this color." This city gate is so weird. The most important thing is that we are here.
I really don't understand how I could encounter something like this at sea.
"It seems that we have underestimated the environment here. On the surface, it seems that this place is not as scary as the island. But the further we go in, the more scary things happen. Now even the ancient city gate has come out. What do you think is inside this city gate?
What will happen?" Jiao Baxie smiled and looked at us and asked.
This grandson, even at this age, can still laugh. He is really not in a hurry to get angry. Most people can't understand Jiao Ba's thinking.
"Who knows what ghosts are here? Looking at this city gate makes me scared." Shunzi trembled all over.
"Here... what is this place? We... where have we been?" Tie Mian, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. I thought he was about to die.
"Where are you? Hehe... This is the legendary hell. This city gate is the entrance to hell. How about it? You haven't seen it before, right?" Jiao Ba hugged Tie Mian's neck and looked at him with a playful smile.
He said, I really admire him. Even now, he still has the heart to amuse me.
"Ah?? Earth...hell? You...don't joke, okay? I...I don't want to die yet." Tiemian was frightened. He was already injured, and if he was frightened like this, his legs could hardly stand anymore.
.
It’s no wonder that they are just sailors who have gone to sea. They have experienced these things and can be scared, which means they are normal people. When we first encountered these unbelievable and terrifying events, we were just like him, scared to death, but as things developed,
Although my courage has not increased much, it is at least higher than that of ordinary people.
"Okay, Lao Ba, stop scaring him. If you really frighten him, just carry him." I glared at Jiao Ba and said sternly.
Jiao Ba turned to look at the city gate and said with an ugly face, "I hope what I said was a joke."
It seems that this city gate has given Jiao Ba a great sense of depression. The smile before was probably faked intentionally. It seems to be a big problem to make him so nervous.
"Have Mr. Mai and the others already gone in?"
Only then did I think that Mai Lao and the others were probably already in the city, and I don’t know what happened to them now. I was very worried about them. I haven’t seen a single one of them so far, and their fate is still unknown.
Chang Shan said calmly, "They must have gone in. Let's put on the bullets and get ready to go."
We carry a lot of weapons with us. There are hundreds of bullets at least. On average, each person has hundreds of bullets. Not counting scattered bullets, each person has five magazines. This should be enough for us to fight.
.
Grenades and knives are also necessary. The equipment we are equipped with can be compared with any army. If you didn't know better, you would think that we are mercenaries.
Just when we were about to set off, I suddenly grabbed Chang Shan and said, "Wait, let...let me relax a little bit." I don't know why, but I was extremely nervous and my heart was beating wildly.
It really felt like I was going through hell again.
Chang Shan looked at me with a strange look, and not only himself, but also several other people looked at me very strangely.
"No...why are you looking at me like that?" I didn't understand a bit, the look in my eyes was too uniform.
"Are you scared too?" Chang Shan asked in surprise.
"That's right, why are you sometimes scared?" The big man glanced at me with contempt in his eyes.
The emotional guys thought I was tough and never knew how to be afraid. I sneered and said, "You are all afraid, why don't I know how to be afraid? I am a human being too, but I am just a little bit braver than you."
That’s all.”
"Wow, I always thought you didn't have the nerve to be afraid." The big man really looked up to me.
"Okay, righteous brother, let's go now." Jiao Ba urged.
I readjusted my mentality, shook my head, and ran towards the city gate.
It's not clear what the inside of the city gate looks like from the outside. It's not because of the fog, but because it's blurry. I can't explain why. In short, it's just blurry.
When we walked to the gate of the city, I clearly felt that there was a heavy yin energy in it. I didn't know much about these so-called yin energy at first, but after being with Jiao Ba for a long time, I was able to learn more or less from him.
Learn a little bit about yourself.
I stopped and said, "I feel... there is a heavy Yin energy here."
"Oh? How did you feel it?" Jiao Ba turned to look at me, with surprise in his eyes.
I shook my head and said, "I...I don't know, it just feels like it, but it's different from the island's aura, so I can't tell." After all, I'm not a professional, so it would be great if I could analyze it like this.
"You are really capable of self-study. The yin energy here is really heavy, and the yin energy is very evil." Jiao Ba's original smile disappeared in an instant.
"Is this city gate really made of ice?" As I spoke, I stretched out my hand to try it. When my hand touched the city wall, a strong cold air spread all over my body along my palm, freezing me to the point of freezing.
My whole body kept shaking.
Jiao Ba was nearby and knocked off my arm, "Are you crazy? This cold air will freeze you to death."
I trembled and said, "I... how do I know? I... I just want to see if this is made of ice."
"No need to guess, everything here is ice, let's go, everyone be careful."
Chang Shan said hello, and we followed him into the city gate. After passing through the city gate, the first thing we saw was the Wengcheng. This is the place where troops are stationed. This is the location I was most worried about before. It is a semicircle.
If there was an ambush above, the city gate was suddenly closed, leaving the six of us with nowhere to hide. Chang Shan made a gesture at this time, meaning that we should observe the surrounding situation while walking.
I kept scanning the top of the urn city. I always felt like someone was watching us here. It was very uncomfortable and I felt uneasy all the time. But after looking around, there was nothing around. Maybe I was too worried.
"I looked around and found nothing. There is probably nothing but dead people in this damn place." The big man cursed.
"Don't talk nonsense. If there are only dead people, wouldn't it mean that Mr. Mai and the others are also dead?" Shunzi reminded him next to him.
The big man slapped himself in the face with his hand, "Oh, look at my foul mouth, I'm talking nonsense."
"Everyone, keep quiet and stop talking useless words." Chang Shan walked at the front and said sideways.
Just as we were about to walk through the barbican, I accidentally turned my head and looked up. On the far right side of the barbican, there was a white figure. Yes, it was a white figure. Although the outline was a bit blurry, it was still there.
Can see.
But I can't see his appearance at all. It's like an ice cube, translucent, and its whole body is almost the same color as the city wall. Under normal circumstances, it should be difficult to find its existence. One reason is that
There is no sunlight here, and another thing is its color, which makes it almost invisible, like a chameleon, forming a bright protective color.
If it weren't for the angle I'm in, I still wouldn't be able to see it. Is it a human or something? Or is this the ice demon Chang Shan mentioned? It only has a human form, both in appearance and clothing.
, I can’t see it clearly at all, and I don’t even know what it wants to do.
I stared at it closely, but there was an inexplicable feeling of depression in my heart, like fear. It seemed to bring me an unknown fear, which was stronger than the direct one.
"Brother Yi, what are you doing again? Let's go quickly." Jiao Ba stopped when he saw me, turned around and shouted to me.
I pointed my hand up and said, "There seems to be someone there."
"What? Is there someone?" As soon as they heard what I said, they all ran over, but just as they came over, the white figure disappeared in an instant. This time it was like the world had evaporated.
