Lin Huai and I stood outside the city gate, watching the group of shadow demons enter the city gate with shocked expressions.
This should be a small city similar to the ancient style. It is surrounded by continuous city walls. There are three eloquent black characters floating on the top of the city gate. I don’t know what the characters are, but I think it is most likely this city.
name.
In the middle of the city wall, the huge city gate was open. Through the city gate, I saw the existence of many shadow demons inside, but most of these shadow demons were very weak, basically one-star.
Of course, there are quite a few shadow demons above two stars inside. I can feel that there are many powerful auras hidden deep in the city. Obviously, this city is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
But this is normal. There must be many powerful shadow demons in the gathering place of shadow demons.
"I didn't expect there was a city here. Could it be that the school just let it go?" Lin Huai said with a frown.
"I personally feel that if the school wanted to take control of it, it should have taken control of it a long time ago. The reason why it was allowed to exist, I think, is probably the result of the school's deliberate actions." I said solemnly: "A group of two-star shadow demons can't be controlled at all.
If you can't afford to spend much money, you might as well stay and be a tool to train us students in the ghost academy, which can be regarded as making the best use of it."
After hearing what I said, Lin Huai's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "What you said makes sense. It's just like the competition world. It's obviously also used as an examination room for students. The two have the same purpose!"
"Yes, but the difference is that there should be no indigenous people here. I don't know if there was no civilization here at all, or if there are other reasons that caused the indigenous people here to disappear." I frowned.
"I think there are indigenous people here." Lin Huai replied.
"Huh?" I turned my head and looked at Lin Huai with doubts in my eyes.
Lin Huai didn't give in. He explained: "Actually, the place where we went is the ruins of a city, and the tomb is in the center of the ruins."
"ah?"
Now I'm really surprised. I can walk hundreds of kilometers outside, and it's always like a forest. I thought the environment in the examination room was like this, but I didn't expect that cities also exist.
Although it is a ruin, it is enough to show that this world once had a glorious civilization. I feel bad when I think about it. It has been turned into ruins. It is self-evident what that means.
Not surprisingly, this world once had a prosperous past, but later, with the invasion of shadow demons and other resentful spirits, it finally ended in destruction.
I sighed in my heart, but after all, this was not what I should be thinking about. After shaking my head, I smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, if you hadn't told me, I would have thought that the examination room was all a forest."
"The reason why most of the examination rooms are virgin forests may be because civilization has died out many years ago. The urban ruins I mentioned...are almost invisible. The houses and buildings are almost in a state of decay, and there are growths on them.
It’s full of plants and has obviously been abandoned for many years.”
Lin Huai replied: "We finally chose to enter the underground tomb because the underground tomb is so completely preserved that it is really conspicuous compared to the broken walls and ruins in other places."
"But now that I think about it, this may be a trap. Just because it is well preserved does not mean that the opportunity is here. The real opportunity may not be the catacombs, but some other inconspicuous place." Lin Huai analyzed.
Hearing this, I nodded with deep understanding. There is a saying that risks and opportunities coexist. If opportunities are easily available, then this exam will have no meaning.
It is precisely because opportunities are not easy to come by that they are particularly valuable.
Thinking of this, my mind suddenly became more active.
Although the land of chance is dangerous, it is not fatal. I can get out at any time if I encounter danger.
On the last day, I can take a risk and go to a place of chance. It doesn't matter if I fail. The exam is coming to an end anyway, and I can escape with my score.
But if I succeed, I believe this opportunity will never let me down!
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, but at this moment, a harsh noise suddenly came from the city, as loud and long-lasting as an alarm, and then large areas of powerful aura rose into the sky from the city.
The shadow demons seemed to have received some kind of signal and began to pour out of the city in a steady stream.
"What happened?!" Seeing this scene, I frowned.
Lin Huai said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about what happened. Many shadow demons in this city are flying towards us. We can't stay here, otherwise they will easily find us!"
"Um!"
Looking at the dark shadow demons near the city gate, I felt a little stressed. There are at least tens of thousands of shadow demons in this city. Even if they are just passing by us, the possibility of them discovering us is not low.
So I immediately turned around and left without any hesitation.
Behind me, countless shadow demons flew out. It seemed that they were as chaotic as locusts crossing the border, but in fact they were secretly blocking the road to the north, so that Lin Huai and I could only go south.
"What on earth are they doing? Is it some kind of strange custom?" After seeing those shadow demons coming out, most of them lined up at the edge of the city, I was confused.
What are these shadow demons doing here?
At this moment, I naturally didn't realize that these shadow demons had received an order, which was to lead us as far south as possible. Because of this, even though the shadow demons were overwhelming, no shadow demons found me and Lin.
Huai.
Lin Huai and I definitely couldn't guess Shadow Demon's conspiracy. At this moment, we had quickly left the "cinema" and walked towards the south unknowingly.
At the same time, behind the gray sun in the sky, the double-faced shadow demon was always observing me, with expressions of excitement and excitement on its two faces, as if it had seen the dawn of victory.
"It's almost... it's almost soon."
"It won't be long before I can leave this hellish place!"
