Broken sculptures and incomplete buildings have been shattered by countless years of ravage, but it can be vaguely seen that this was once a beautiful city.
According to Yao Xing, this Lost City on the Blood Bank was destroyed tens of thousands of years ago.
If we look at cities on earth, they may have disappeared long ago. After all, even the pyramids in Egypt are only a few thousand years old.
As for the city in front of us, although it was in dilapidated condition, the general structure was still there.
Sauron could even deduce from the missing parts which ones were fountains and which ones were gardens.
This city has a large number of public buildings and a large number of squares. The buildings in this city are far larger and even more beautiful than those in the King's City of Furious Waves.
It can be inferred from this that this is a city with a relatively high level of civilization. Not only is the productivity more advanced, but the political system is also more advanced.
Sauron stood at the city gate. There was a straight road in front of him, which seemed to go straight to the center of the city.
When he was on the top of the mountain, Sauron saw clearly that the roads in this murderous city were in a spider grid pattern.
There are a total of eight main roads running through the entire city, just like diameter lines on a circle.
There are also eight ring roads forming a concentric circle, just like the three rings, four rings and five rings in Beijing, except that the ring roads in Beijing are not rectangular.
Therefore, the road pattern of this city is like a Bagua, but it is circular.
These eight main roads running through the city correspond to sixteen city gates, and Sauron entered through one of the city gates.
Ahead is a road, one of the eight main roads that run through the city.
If you follow the theory and keep walking along this road, you can reach the blood lake in the center of the city. The remains of the dragon seal are on the temple in the middle of the lake.
…
Sauron gradually went deeper, always walking on a wide road, completely unobstructed, and there seemed to be no sense of a maze?
It seems like it's a completely straight path to the end.
Sauron just kept walking, kept walking, kept walking...
Almost two hours later, he felt something was wrong.
This city is very, very huge. But including the blood lake in the center, it is more than 200 miles in diameter.
Sauron walked very fast. He had already walked more than two hundred miles in two hours and four hours. He should have passed through the entire city and reached the gate on the opposite side. He should also have passed through the blood in the center of the city.
Lake.
However, there was no blood lake at all, and the road seemed endless.
What's even more weird is that he didn't hit the wall. He didn't go back to the original place, because the buildings and scenery on both sides were always different.
Only then did Sauron realize the meaning of this city maze.
Obviously, a normal city would not be designed as a maze, because that would be complete chaos.
This so-called labyrinth is the city's defense mechanism. When the army of demon descendants attacked tens of thousands of years ago, the city activated its defense mechanism. The purpose was to prevent the enemy from entering the temple in the middle of the lake.
Sauron listened and said, "Demon Star. What's going on with the roads in this city?"
Yao Xing said: "Master, you have been walking along the vertical line, and you will never be able to enter the city center. You still need to walk on the horizontal line, but I must tell you that there may be fatal murderous intent on every horizontal line. At that time, the city
The defense mechanism is like this, trying to use the defense mechanism of the entire city to block the army of demon descendants."
The so-called horizontal line is the ring line of the entire city, with a total of eight rings.
"Then I can't just walk across these ruins?" Sauron asked.
"That... is even more dangerous." Yao Xing said: "It is daytime and the sun is shining, so there are no dead souls on the road outside. But once you enter the ruins of the building where the sun does not shine, there are terrible dead souls everywhere."
Sauron shuddered and said: "In other words, at night, countless dead souls will appear in the whole city?"
"Yes." Yao Xing said: "So, before dark, you must find a place where you can hide from the souls of the dead."
"Where can I hide from the dead souls?" Sauron asked.
Yao Xing said: "Dragon Hall, because there will be sacred light in every Shenlong Hall, the souls of the dead dare not enter."
Sauron said: "Then what are the characteristics of the Dragon Palace?"
Yao Xing said: "On the surface, it doesn't have any characteristics, but at night, it will release sacred energy."
Sauron said: "What is the relationship between these dragon temples and the temple in the middle of the lake?"
Yao Xing said: "This human kingdom is a kingdom of divine dragon belief, so there will be divine dragon temples at key nodes in the city. These divine dragon temples guard the central temple, and the temple is the energy core, command core, and sacred core of the entire city.
Core. These temples and temples constitute the huge energy array of the entire city."
Sauron said: "So, if you want to successfully enter the temple in the center of the city, it is useless to look at the roads. The key is to look at these dragon temples, right? Follow each temple and finally enter the temple?"
"Yes." Yao Xing said.
"How many temples are there in total?" Sauron asked.
Yao Xing said: "Sixteen."
In this way, Sauron understood that after the city's defense was activated, the huge energy array was also activated.
So if you walk along the road, you will enter a complete ghost wall, and you will never reach the temple in the center of the city.
The sixteen temples are the only reliable city coordinates. This city has a total of eight rings, and each ring has a temple. Eight times two, which is exactly sixteen.
Therefore, if you want to enter the temple, you must first find the temple.
Sauron looked up at the sky and found that the sun was already setting in the west and would set soon.
Once night comes, countless undead will emerge, and even the strongest master will surely die at that time. Therefore, Sauron must find the temple before dark.
On the longitudinal line of the city, you may not be able to find temples. Only on the circular line can you find temples.
Sauron continued walking forward, and after several kilometers, he reached the intersection of the longitudinal line and the circular line. He was at a crossroads.
To the left? Or to the right.
Sauron couldn't help but fall into a difficult choice. He carefully looked at the difference between the left and the right.
Looking to the left, I seemed to see a pile of bones. Many people died there. There must be a fatal mechanism on the left side of the front.
Then go to the right. He couldn't help but look to the right. It turned out that there were many skeletons on the right, and many people must have died.
What the hell is going on?
There are skeletons on the left and right. Many people died. So which way should we go?
"Master, use the Falling Moon Technique to calm down and listen to the call of your heart." Yao Xing said.
Sauron closed his eyes and entered the world of the Falling Moon Art. Soon the lake in his heart calmed down completely, the well water in his heart was completely calm, and the falling moon on the water surface was intact.
"Left... left..."
Then, an extremely confusing and charming voice came to my ears.
Just this sound alone makes people addicted and unable to extricate themselves.
"Yao Xing, are you talking?" Sauron asked.
"Of course not." Yao Xing said: "I said that in this city, no one can enter the temple in the core of the city, only you can."
"Left, left..."
That bewitching voice sounded again.
Is this a real guide or a trap? Should you believe it?
Sauron took a deep breath. If it weren't for the demon star, he might have gone in the opposite direction.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Soran walked towards the intersection on the left.
Suddenly...
There was a strange burst of light and shadow.
It's like time travel. The surrounding scenery keeps changing, and time keeps going backwards, backwards, backwards...
The collapsed and broken ruins on both sides of the road have all been restored and turned into gorgeous white buildings, including libraries, baths, and conference halls.
There are green trees and flowers everywhere on both sides of the road, and there are fountains everywhere. There are also charming hanging gardens on the gorgeous buildings.
But then...
From both sides of the road, countless armies of demon descendants poured in, countless fires, and countless dark energy destroyed the beautiful buildings on both sides of the road.
Like a tidal wave, the army of demon descendants passed by Sauron and even passed through his body, like a swarm of devil locusts, leaving no grass growing wherever they passed.
Countless beautifully dressed human beings were slaughtered, raped, and eaten alive.
Then, there was an ordinary building in front, and suddenly there was a roar of a dragon, and then it was like the sun shining, radiating amazing energy.
"Shuashuashua..."
Countless barbarian armies were instantly wiped out.
This is the Dragon Palace. It looks very ordinary, but at critical moments, it will release energy rays.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
A dazzling light of energy shot into Sauron's eyes.
Suddenly, he quickly closed his eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, all the previous hallucinations had disappeared. They were replaced by ruins on both sides of the road.
Shenlong Temple is just three hundred meters ahead. It is an ordinary-looking building that looks like a public bath.
At this moment, a figure suddenly broke into the intersection behind him.
A barbarian with a black body and sharp horns.
Sauron was startled and wanted to run away quickly. After all, the barbarians who could enter the bloody city were very powerful.
However, the barbarian seemed not to be able to see Sauron. He was standing at the intersection as if he was making a decision, not knowing whether to go to the left or to the right.
"Never, never go to the left." Sauron prayed in his heart.
Sure enough, after hesitating for a long time, the barbarian walked towards the right.
Then... Sauron saw an extremely terrifying scene.
As soon as the barbarian stepped into the intersection on the right, his whole body trembled horribly for an instant, and then his eyeballs popped out, the skin all over his body burst, black and red blood shot out, and his whole body suddenly exploded, turning into a ball of flesh.
Sauron knew that this was because the air pressure in that area was almost zero, so the blood in his body boiled and exploded his entire body.
This city is indeed filled with murderous intent!
At this moment, the sun sets from the west and the sunlight disappears completely.
The sun has set, and there is still more than an hour until dark. By then, the whole city will be filled with terrifying undead.
However, we still have plenty of time, because the temple in front of us is only 300 meters away, and it will take more than an hour to reach it.
However……
"Whoosh..."
Almost as fast as the stars had passed, the moment the sun had just set, the entire sky immediately turned dark.
There were no stars, no moon, and the whole city fell into complete darkness.
Sauron's heart trembled, this... this is a scam.
As soon as the sun sets, it becomes dark instantly.
Then, a scene that made Sauron's hair stand on end appeared.
Transparent undead emerged from the ruins on both sides of the road and emerged from the ground.
This huge city is a human kingdom with millions of people.
These millions were all slaughtered by the army of demon descendants! Because this city was occupied by demons, dust returned to dust, soil returned to soil, and the law of dragon power balance and reincarnation was broken.
These brutally murdered people turned into powerful and ferocious undead.
Sauron, a living person, is as clear and conspicuous as a searchlight in the eyes of the undead.
Almost everyone looked towards him. Then immediately, countless undead souls, thousands or tens of thousands of undead souls, surged towards him like a tide.
Facing tens of thousands of undead, even the Dragon Warrior level will definitely die, let alone Sauron's mere three-star warrior.
