After a quick search of the surrounding buildings, almost all the buildings here were hemispherical bunkers, and almost every room had traces of human habitation.
There is no so-called road, it is completely a city designed for war. Either you jump and walk directly on the bunker, or you move through the underground tunnel. There is a metal door of the same size on the ground in each building, which is a bit
It feels like a tunnel battle.
As for the origin of this fortress outside the Great Wall, Liu Xiao also found the answer from some relics.
Blackwater City was its former name.
A man named Lelais recorded his experience of coming here in his notes. This man came from a human tribe called Qabu. He did not know what nonsense he had committed, and was detained by the tribe and prepared to be executed.
The leader of the tribe gave him a choice, either to be eaten by a local thing called quicksand beast, or to sell his life to a force and never come back again.
Is there still a choice? Anyone with any brains will definitely choose the latter. It won’t matter whether he comes back or not. At least he can save his life first.
So, like a courier, Lelais was taken by two strange and powerful people, and traveled through several city-states before finally arriving here.
At first, because he didn't know the specific location of this city, he thought it was a death place where a large number of murderers gathered. They killed each other to please the high-ranking spiritual power, and they might also need to perform some extremely dangerous commissioned tasks in exchange for survival.
Qualification, or stationed in the border area between human race and other races.
As a result, he was guarding an isolated city at the junction of the deep fan ring and the fierce wilderness. This was something someone else told him.
Life here is relatively free. In addition to everyone having their own bunker, no one will restrict them. It doesn't matter even if you leave Blackwater City, as long as you can return alive.
For a long time after coming here, life was quite boring.
Except for occasionally going to the city wall to stand guard, Lelais basically hangs out in the tavern. There is no charge for food and drink here. You can eat and drink as you like, but you can't ask for how good the taste is.
There were many people who had similar experiences to him, and from their mouths, Lelais gradually got to know this place.
This is not so much a city as it is a fortress. This area is called the Land of Spiritual Fall. Almost all the surrounding areas are controlled by the orcs. Only a few human tribes have taken root in the Anxi Grassland, but they are too far away from here and are almost inaccessible.
It is possible to arrive safely. The enemies Blackwater City is guarding are ferocious beasts. Strangely enough, there are not many ferocious beasts around here. There is no need to gather so many combat forces, let alone build such a large-scale defense system. Otherwise, those tribes
It should have been exterminated long ago.
But from time to time, ferocious beasts will invade this place on a large scale.
There was a question mentioned in Lelais's notes, which was also a question that puzzled Liu Xiao.
Why do they have to hold on here?
But this answer was not mentioned until the end of the note. Relais had only speculated that there should be some ulterior secrets underground in Blackwater City. The only free door was underground, and he was also isolating all
Brought up from the underground under the premise of sense.
hidden.......
These four words are very attractive.
As time has passed, perhaps this hidden secret has disappeared with the fall of this fortress, but there will always be some clues left.
And judging from the information already available, Blackwater City should have existed before the Windshelter City tribe moved into the Bone Burial Sands. Perhaps we can still learn what happened at that time.
The notes did not mention the existence of evil spirits. In other words, Blackwater City and Lingyun Land at that time did not actually have these strange auras that spread across the world. So why did they appear later?
Is it because too many people have died here and there are too many grievances? No way.
Lelais's notes, coupled with the information obtained by Liu Xiao's observations, can be summed up to roughly restore some of the situation at that time.
An unknown force built a fortress in the land of aura. Instead of adopting the traditional city-state order, it recruited death row prisoners with certain combat capabilities from all over the fan ring to live and die with the fortress. If they died, they would die again.
to replenish.
The key question should be what exactly this force is doing here, why the ferocious beasts traveled thousands of miles to kill them, and how the fortress fell in the end.
There is another point that Liu Xiao is most concerned about, and that is the free door mentioned by Lelais.
Returning to the nape of Wangcai's neck, I found that this silly, idle man was actually picking his nose!
Can you imagine? A giant beast more than 200 meters tall, how big and disgusting the boogers it pulls out are, and the way it shakes the boogers is almost exactly the same as that of humans. The boogers are like cannonballs in the ruins
Exploded.
Only then did Liu Xiao realize that Wangcai was so familiar with the use of the dozens of meters long claws, and the entire movement was done in one go, without any sloppiness.
"Let's go to the city center and have a look. We don't have to go too fast."
"Okay, Master." Wangcai replied naively, and walked forward with big steps.
"Can you please stop calling me master from now on? It sounds very uncomfortable." Liu Xiao said to his big pet while scanning the surrounding ruins.
"What does diaphragm mean?"
"It's just uncomfortable. Every time you call me master, I feel uncomfortable."
"Then what should I call you? My name is Wangcai. Then, how about I call you Master Wangwang?"
"...Forget it, you should just call me master."
.......
As a fortress, the scope of Blackwater City is a bit too large.
The scope is at least equivalent to a third-tier city in China. It also shows that the number of humans stationed here at that time was astonishing. These people were all capable of fighting. Although Lelais's notes did not mention it, Liu Xiao guessed that it was at least one
Advanced traveler.
The ground is full of big-assed reptiles. These insect beasts are almost non-aggressive, but the visual impact is relatively large.
Wangcai didn't bother to kill them all, so he just stepped on them. Every time he set foot, dozens of reptiles would turn into soup.
Liu Xiao didn't have much interest in these bugs. They were just ferocious beasts that occupied the magpie's nest after the fortress fell. As for being ferocious beasts but not attacking the intruders, it should be because of the instinct of such bugs. They also
Not all of them were stationary, but some were crawling hard in the same direction, and this direction seemed to be the center of Blackwater City.
Wangcai sped up, changing from striding forward to running quickly, and the entire surface of the earth trembled violently with its pace.
Not long after, Liu Xiao saw a unique building.
At the same time, it is a hemispherical bunker, but its difference is that it is huge! It covers an area of probably two thousand meters in diameter, and there are a large number of entrances at its bottom, and those moving reptiles are drilling in through these entrances.
There was a loud bang.
The solid outer wall was exploded by Wangcai's claw.
The giant beast and Liu Xiao on it looked inside curiously.
