In the border area between the Great Zhou Empire and the Delos Empire, dozens of city ruins are intertwined and connected, forming a huge group of ruins. They are dilapidated, messy, desolate and lonely. Some places are swallowed up by messy trees, and some places are flattened by wars.
Some places have become areas where certain monsters live, and some places are filled with dense cracks.
Years of continuous military campaigns have turned this once prosperous area into a land of oblivion, chaos, and a paradise for some exiles.
Normally, this deserted city cemetery is uninhabited and desolate. No one wants to come here unless there are special circumstances. But now it is full of people and noisy. Various mercenary teams are running through it, and occasionally
It can be seen that King Wu is walking in the air, and there are even huge flying monsters passing by from high in the sky, with powerful men standing on top of them.
There will always be conflicts in a place with a large number of people. In a place where there are no restrictions and only mercenaries are present, the so-called conflicts will be resolved in the most direct way - fighting!
No matter it is day or night, there will always be screams and angry roars amidst the noise, and fierce fights will occasionally break out among the crowded crowd. Perhaps the blood stimulates the consciousness, or the chaotic environment affects the mind. Many people
The mercenaries who had always had grudges didn't want to let things go when they met here, and it turned into a collision and a fight.
As night fell, the boundless cemetery of the deserted city did not quiet down. Noises and sounds of fighting continued one after another. This place was no longer a deserted city, but a city of chaos and a place of sin.
Somewhere in the ruins, two figures floated over like ghosts, coughed three times in front of the collapsed ruins, and then beat the collapsed beams next to them in a specific rhythm.
After a period of oppressive silence, the wooden board covered with thick dust on the ground suddenly cracked, and a figure jumped out. He looked around cautiously, and then led them underground after making sure it was safe.
The cracks immediately closed, and a gust of night wind blew by, causing dust to fly and cover up all traces.
Underground is a wide stone cave, with more than a dozen luminous pearls dotted around it, bringing a glimmer of light. In the middle is a stone table, with a red-haired man sitting on a stone table with a broad sword and a golden horse.
"Have you brought what I want?" The red-haired man looked at the two men in black robes with cold eyes.
"I want to confirm first whether the thing is still in the hands of your 'Red God'." The man in black on the left raised his head, his eyes swept over the dozen men and women present, and finally settled on the innermost part of the cave.
"Show them." The strong red-haired man raised his hand to signal.
Wow! The black cloth at the innermost end of the cave was torn open, revealing seven ferocious beast statues inside. Under the care of the night pearl, the ferocious beast stone carvings were ferocious and terrifying, exuding an icy chilling air. Each ferocious beast statue had a
It is covered with vigorous runes, as if something is imprisoned.
The eyes of the two men in black suddenly became hot, staring at the seven statues so closely that they even breathed a little quickly.
"Have you seen enough? Here's what I want!" The red-haired man snorted heavily.
The man in black threw over a simple dragon-carved ring: "These are the materials needed to lift the seal. They are all in this ring. The process will be very complicated. I hope you won't make any mistakes."
The red-haired strong man played with the ring, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Can I know your identities? I heard that these seven statues were collected by Dihuang with great pains, but they have never been found.
How do you know how to contact the seal? How can you guarantee that it can break the seal?"
"You don't need to know our identities. As for the effect, there will definitely be no problem. The materials have been collected very early. The most important introduction to the medicine is the blood purification of eighty-eight third-level martial arts masters, all of whom are young people who are about to be baptized.
Such blood is the purest and most flawless."
"Oh? I heard... a strange thing happened in the Northern Wasteland. Someone kidnapped nearly a hundred boys and girls who were about to be baptized. It turned out that it was you who did it!"
The man in black robe ignored the brawny man's question and continued: "After the seal comes into contact, the tens of thousands of warriors in the Huangcheng Cemetery will become their sacrifices and be sucked clean. What you have to do is to let all their actions go, and you cannot do anything.
Intervene until they are completely stabilized. According to the agreement, two of the seven evil creatures born belong to you, and the remaining five belong to us."
"We've been escaping with them for months, why did we only take two? You just gave me some suggestions and materials and you took five?!"
The man in black robe coldly swept across the audience: "If you want to own them, you must have the strength of a senior level. If you are below the senior level, as long as you touch them, they will be immediately devoured and turned into mummies. Is there a third Martial Lord among you?"
Another man in black robe said solemnly: "After this incident, you Red God will be wanted by the entire continent. Even if you have them, it is difficult to guarantee that everything will be safe. So... we are willing to provide asylum for Red God for up to three years.
, and I promise not to covet what you have in your hands during this period.”
The red-haired burly man exchanged glances with his subordinates, remained silent for a while, and reluctantly accepted these unfair conditions.

After careful makeup, Tang Yan, Du Yang, and Alinda slipped out of the Giant Elephant City at night and rode their unicorn horses straight to the cemetery of the deserted border city. Tang Yan and Du Yang were dressed in coarse linen clothes and covered with beards, transforming into
They became two thin men. Elinda wrapped some cotton cloth around her chest, changed into tattered clothes, and did some tricks on her face, becoming an ordinary village girl.
In fact, Elinda's mood has been very confusing recently. She has always wanted to go back to the academy, but she always felt a bit inexplicable about it. She finally made up her mind to go back, but was tricked out of the city by Tang Yan's sweet talk. She always reminded herself
She can no longer fool around with this gangster, but she always follows him subconsciously, which makes her very uncomfortable, but there is nothing she can do about it.
The once pure and clean academy "Binghua" seems to have turned into a "wild child" recently, following the dandy young master Tang Yan all day long. Running wildly on the ancient forest road, Alinda even doubted how she agreed.
How did you leave the Giant Elephant City?
Compared to Alinda's anxiety and entanglement, Tang Yan and Du Yang were very excited. Unless they pretended to be stupid when they met some mercenary troops or noble family troops on the road, they were very active at other times.
Seven days later, the three of them finally arrived at the Huangcheng Cemetery. From a distance, they saw ruins and messes, and a strong wind blew up dust all over the sky. In some parts of the Huangcheng Cemetery, there was almost no trace of the city, and it was completely a gravel field.
, some places still retain their former appearance, but they are also in dilapidated condition, and a slight vibration may completely destroy them.
Exactly as expected, this place has been filled with killing and madness. Before getting close to the tombs, you can hear the noisy shouting and fighting, and feel the killing atmosphere inside. Even the air is mixed with dust and
The smell of blood.
"Attention, be careful. We are here to 'clean up the garbage', not to cause trouble. We can avoid some things if we can." Tang Yan gestured to the two of them and entered the building in front of him from a relatively remote place.
The mercenaries who were coming and going in the deserted city noticed them. When they saw Elinda's bloated and ugly appearance, they all showed a bit of disgust. As for the two little old men Tang Yan and Du Yang, they simply chose to ignore it.
The deserted city was filled with noisy noises, sharp roars, and fierce battles. The three of them wandered around casually, searching carefully, and soon discovered a battle circle, where two teams of mercenaries were fighting.
Fighting.
Maybe he is already used to this kind of scene, and no one pays attention nearby. He even hides away as soon as he sees a fight, for fear of implicating himself.
The three of them were hiding in the corner, patiently waiting for their fight. The strength of these warriors was not too strong. There were only two or three martial arts sects, and the others were all martial arts spirits. But for Tang Yan, they were still a great complement.
things.
Soon, this unbalanced battle came to an end. One side was all killed, and the few surviving people on the other side snatched the other side's packages and left quickly.
"You guys are on sentry duty and will alert you immediately if there is any situation." Tang Yan rushed out and came to the middle of the bloody corpses. He crossed his knees attentively and quickly condensed five cyan fireballs, which first hit an old man. Based on his observation just now, it was clear that this was an old man.
The strong men at the martial arts level followed closely behind, and the fireballs condensed one after another, selecting the corpses of three high-level martial spirits, and giving up the rest for the time being.
After all, the strength is limited, and it is impossible to activate the ghost green fire without limit. You can only choose a few of them.
The ghost green fire enveloped the four corpses on its own, burning and refining them quickly. In just a few minutes, the flames dissipated, revealing four rich spiritual source fluids, but...
"Huh?" Tang Yan picked them up one after another. After feeling them carefully, he couldn't help but frown.
Du Yang and Elinda gathered together: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"This is from a martial arts sect. These three are third-level martial spirits. Didn't you find that the spiritual source liquid is much smaller than normal?" Tang Yan already knew what kind of monsters and warriors could refine how much spiritual source liquid.
, but the four pieces of spiritual source liquid in front of me are twice as small as normal.
Aelinda said: "Is it... because it's a corpse?"
Du Yang raised his eyebrows: "You Qing Huo are still picky about food? Do you still have to refine living creatures by yourself?"
Tang Yan thought for a while: "It's possible. In the past, we basically used green fire to kill monsters, which is different from picking up corpses and refining them now. But this is too exaggerated. It has been reduced to twice the size?"
Du Yang was quite tolerant: "Don't be dissatisfied when it comes to picking up cheap things."
"That's right, the four together are quite a lot, let's continue working." Tang Yan took one of the spiritual source liquids to replenish the consumed spiritual power, put the other three into the jade bottle, knocked it and stared at the jade bottle in a daze.
little black dog.
The little black dog protested and looked away reluctantly.
There were a lot of fights in the deserted city, and deaths could be seen everywhere. Tang Yan and the three of them carefully 'walked' around, found a suitable battlefield and hid, waiting for the fighting to end, and immediately rushed to refine it. This scene was like
When you enter the self-selected shopping mall, you can take whatever you like.
During this period, I encountered several mercenaries returning and returning, or other mercenaries passing by. If you can avoid them, just avoid them without any entanglement. If you can't avoid them, just use all your strength to kill them. If
When encountering a particularly powerful target, they would rather give up and flee the scene decisively.
Tang Yan's Eye of Annihilation, two types of seals, Du Yang's petrification martial arts, and Alinda, a second-level martial arts master. The three of them are simply natural partners. Tang Yan and Du Yang are playing tricks, and Alinda is in charge.
The main attack has enough power to protect itself.
Anyway, there is spiritual source liquid that can replenish spiritual power at any time. They don't have to worry too much about consumption. They can use their full strength to perform martial arts, which can also be regarded as a kind of experience.
The three of them quickly adapted to the environment of the deserted city's cemetery, constantly wandering around various battlefields, constantly refining and fighting, and 'cleaning up the corpses' with little or no risk.
