The city is large, but it lacks vitality because there are too few people.
The ancient city is majestic. Although it is a little dilapidated, it still maintains its majesty. Unfortunately, only a few women, children, and some sick and disabled people are left guarding the place. The city is too big and there are too few people.
"This is the king's dwelling place."
The one-armed old man led Shi Hao to a low mountain in the middle of the city. However, the foot of the mountain was covered with wormwood, so the place was quiet and silent.
There are dried black blood stains on the mountain, which is dry and lacks vitality.
There is one king left. What is happening now? Is he really still alive? Even the people in the city don't know the details.
Unless it is a critical moment of life and death, the last one of the seven kings rarely takes action, because it is very difficult to maintain the lonely city. Only if he is still alive can the city not fall and can borrow the power of Tianyuan!
"See you, King!" The one-armed old man saluted here to pay homage to the low mountain with reverence and piety.
"Shi Hao has met the ancient ancestor!" Shi Hao was also very serious and saluted here with respect.
No matter what, the seven kings are all heroic and respectable. They lead their respective tribesmen to fight here, never retreat, resist the enemy from the frontier, and guard the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths with their blood and life.
I will never forget the scene I saw on the altar on the black ancient ship. The seven kings roared and fought against the sky and the earth. They led their tribesmen, including women and children, the old, weak, sick and disabled, to fight the enemy to the end.
Corpses fell one after another, the ancient city was stained with blood, their achievements were unparalleled in the world, but no one outside knew about it, and the years had buried their achievements and fame.
Suddenly, the low mountain glowed, very soft and peaceful, spreading outward.
"I know your intention, take those children away." This was what he said to the one-armed old man. There was no pressure or energy fluctuation. Everything was so peaceful.
However, Shi Hao felt a majestic and upright aura, not overwhelming, but absolutely majestic, inviolable, and dignified.
The one-armed old man's eyes immediately became sore, and muddy tears rolled down his face. He immediately fell to his knees and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"It's us who are useless and have made the child suffer." The last of the seven kings said this, sighing softly, very desolate, like withered yellow leaves falling.
Then, the light on the low mountain was restrained, but the last words came out, which were directed at Shi Hao. There were only two words: "Live!"
Is this an exhortation, a warning, or something foreseen?
With just these two words, Shi Hao had a premonition that this was the eve of a storm, and a big wave was about to begin! It meant that there would be rivers of blood, mountains of bones, and many people might die!
There is only the last one left among the seven kings. He is very depressed and does not seem to be optimistic about Jiutian's side. Is this a reminder to Shi Hao? The most important thing is to survive!
It's been a long time since he left this low mountain. The one-armed old man didn't say anything. He was lost in thought and his eyes were a little dull.
He knew that the last king was filled with endless weariness and desolation deep in his heart. After fighting for eternity, his fighting spirit was exhausted, and his blood and soul would eventually return to the loess.
In the city, the children were very dull and did not like to talk. They were all quiet. Even when they saw Shi Hao for the first time, they just watched silently.
This is due to the depression caused by the war. There is no laughter and laughter in the city on weekdays. They have no childhood, no immaturity, and no happiness. Some are just struggling to survive and guarding the city.
Most of these children have lost their parents, lack the warmth they deserve, and face the cold earth, cold weapons, and blood and bones.
"when……"
When the bell rang, everyone in the city suddenly brightened their eyes, including the children, and started running quickly, rushing to various parts of the city wall.
In their hands, they hold various magical weapons, which are all mysterious and powerful!
Shi Hao was shocked at the time. These children were very athletic, far beyond their peers in the outside world. They were as fast as one little cheetah after another, and the murderous aura they exuded was even worse than that of ferocious beasts!
Even children of several years old appear to be extremely healthy!
But children are children after all. They are holding weapons, just to cultivate a sense of consciousness, and because there is really no one in the city, the young and strong have all died in the battle!
"What happened?" Shi Hao asked.
"An enemy is invading." the one-armed old man replied.
He took Shi Hao and rushed to a certain direction, crossed the void, quickly came to a city wall, and looked down.
A layer of light curtain has risen to protect the entire ancient city. It is a light curtain formed by runes that can block immortal attacks.
Under the city, there is a ferocious beast, which is huge in size. It has two heads, one is the head of an ancestral crocodile, golden and bright, and the other is the head of a roc, which is powerful and ferocious.
Its body is very large, with the body of a crocodile, but there is also a pair of huge golden wings on its back, which are roc wings.
Obviously, this is an extremely powerful race. When the one-armed old man saw it, his expression immediately became condensed.
Shi Hao once heard that most of the people who can reach the city wall are immortals. Is this a true immortal creature?
Fortunately, Sanzang and Shenming are not in the direction of this city gate, otherwise it would be in danger!
"Fortunately, it's just a corpse. Someone is using his body to weigh the imperial city again." The one-armed old man let out a sigh of relief.
This is just the body of a ferocious beast. Immortal creatures appear through the corpse and target the ancient city. This has happened frequently recently. According to the old man's guess, the decisive battle is about to come!
The old man waved his hand and asked the children to take action. The communication between them was very simple and almost no words were used.
Although this is not a real immortal enemy, it is still terrifying. The one-armed old man actually handed it over to the children and let them take action.
A group of children were silent, but they were all courageous. They were already standing in some special areas on the city wall, holding magic weapons and silently offering runes to activate the sacred power.
boom!
This city wall seemed to be resurrected, glowing slightly, and then a huge sword light appeared and slashed forward, slashing at the ancient beast!
Secret treasure!
Those children use special secret treasures that can resonate with walls and generate defensive runes and offensive and killing techniques.
However, their little faces were all white and lacked color. Soon some of them sat down cross-legged, silently reciting sacrificial inscriptions, and communicated with some "fires" in the city.
Those fires are very special, they are all skeletons, filled with immortal power. They are borrowing threads, wisps of divine light, to transmit them through magical instruments.
"Let them do such dangerous things at such a young age?" Shi Hao frowned. This seemed simple, but it contained a big crisis.
Although the skeleton of the immortal creature is locked by the rune circle and lends a little power each time, if a small ball of immortal fire breaks out, it is enough to kill them ten thousand times.
In addition, if there is an accident during the transmission of the magic weapon, it will be a great disaster.
Of course, Shi Hao also had to admire the people in the city for creating a secret method that allowed the children to participate in the battle. They all had such courage and were not afraid to face powerful enemies, and they were all perseverant.
"Is this still dangerous? Their fathers and ancestors had dozens, hundreds or even thousands of people sacrifice their lives together, rush out with the flames of the bones of immortal creatures, and fight side by side with the king." The one-armed old man said calmly.
said.
This kind of thing is cruel, bloody, and completely costing lives, but he said it so calmly.
"Calling on the power of Tianyuan will cost you even more." He sighed.
In that critical moment, maybe you are dealing with the Immortal King!
puff!
Some children's faces turned pale. Although they were far stronger than their peers, they were still too young. They spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
Someone came forward, carried him away, and took care of him carefully.
"What can I do if I was born here?" the one-armed old man said. This simple sentence said everything.
The reality is so cruel. It is impossible to grow up as free and carefree as the children in the outside world with a bright smile!
Here, living is happiness.
Clang Clang Clang!
The city wall continued to glow, and the sword energy was released, forcing the ancient beast to retreat.
But after all, they are a group of children, and even with the help of various powers, the offensive techniques activated are not enough.
In the end, it was several old men who took action and worked together to activate the wall. Infinite light erupted from the wall, forming a bloody halberd in front and slashing forward.
"puff!"
The beast's head was chopped off, and a ray of will escaped.
Finally, the ancient beast was dragged into the city. Of course, after being illuminated by the talisman light at the city gate, it was purified, killing its vitality and avoiding any accidents.
In the evening, there was fire dancing in the city, which was the burning of animal bones, forming a bonfire.
Shi Hao sat aside, looking at the children sitting quietly, saying nothing, waiting for food, and he couldn't calm down in his heart.
"Try a piece, it tastes pretty good." The one-armed old man handed Shi Hao a piece of meat, which was today's trophy.
This kind of meat contains amazing energy, which can only be possessed by ancient beasts with terrifying bloodlines. If children want to eat it, they need the help of the elders to refine it repeatedly.
Shi Hao finally understood why these children were so young yet so powerful, their strength far exceeding that of their peers.
They have been feeding on ferocious beasts for many years.
If these were taken out and cultivated, they would definitely be a group of humanoid ferocious beasts with extraordinary potential. They are all good seedlings!
"There are some ominous substances in the bodies of exotic ferocious beasts. If you eat too much, you will suffer from strange diseases. Otherwise, the corpses of some ferocious beasts left over from ancient battles in the warehouse contain more powerful and astonishing divine power."
The old man said.
"Ominous?" Shi Hao was surprised.
"Well, if you eat it all year round, if you don't find a chance to resolve it, you will get lost." The old man nodded and told Shi Hao to pay attention to refining it.
According to the old man's guess, the exotic creatures are not just one or two ferocious beasts, but other royal families also have more or less traces of them. It's just a matter of quantity and quantity.
"Children, go say goodbye to your mothers and grandmothers tonight, and tell them everything you want to say in your hearts." The one-armed old man stood up and said to the children sitting around the campfire.
"Tomorrow, when the sun rises, you will be on the road. Go to a place to learn more powerful skills. When you are strong enough, come back, pick up your relatives, and fight side by side with us old men!" The one-armed old man
Said loudly.
However, Shi Hao could hear the trembling in his voice. It was an emotional word that touched the heart. It was a farewell.
Some of the older children all stood up and shouted: "No, we want to stay and fight. The city is here and the people are there, but the city is dead and the people are dead. We will fight with our ancestors, and the blood will stay here!"
"We want to stay!"
"We're not leaving!"
"This is our destination. Even if we die in battle, our blood and bones will be buried here!"
A group of teenagers shouted and yelled emotionally because they knew that the old man wanted them to leave alive and never come back.
"Shut up, everyone. Now, go back! Stay with your mother and grandma and say more, and meet me here early in the morning!" the one-armed old man shouted.
The bonfire was extinguished and the city was dark.
At this moment, for many children, the impact is huge, as if the sky is falling and the earth is falling. Do you want to leave here?
However, they have lived here for many years and have been here since birth and are reluctant to leave.
In the early morning, when a ray of sunshine appears.
The one-armed old man and some old guys personally picked up the children one by one and gathered them in the square.
"Let's go, whoever is as capable as your ancestors, who can even shoot down a big star with one arrow, come back to me!" an old man shouted.
Next to them, stood the mothers and grandmothers of those children. They are now also the main force in the battle and cannot leave!
At this moment, the children cried, and so did the women.
On weekdays, they were taciturn and didn't talk much, but now they were all shouting and screaming, unwilling to separate.
The children rushed to their relatives, as if they had endless words to say, and burst into tears.
At this time, they were crying and talking much more than usual.
When the sun rose, Shi Hao left with a group of children. The golden morning glow stretched their figures very long, as if they were reluctant to leave!
