Reunited after a long separation, Lemedia and his courtiers also had a lot to say, so Lin Sen and Wu Huan, who were left alone, decided to continue looking downwards for Ling Xin and the Prophet.
Of course, this time, with Lemidia's help, Lin Sen and Wu Huan left under the escort of two hundred high-level Oath Keepers.
Moreover, Lin Sen and Wu Huan each rode a phantom.
Lin Sen, who felt like a knight for the first time, felt a little uncomfortable... In his words, it was a bit weird to have a thinking six-legged beast riding under him and feel its squirming.
Wu Huan was quite happy at first, but after hearing Lin Sen's eloquent remarks, she started to feel awkward.
But luckily, I got used to it just by riding.
"I'll stay here to see if I can activate the Set Twins again. If I can get their contract, you won't have to fight alone in the future. Wu Huan and I can be your best partners!" This was Lemi before leaving.
Diya quietly told Lin Sen and Wu Huan.
Lin Sen was feeling quite proud along the way. It was really pleasant to have such a caring majesty accompanying him.
After leaving Oath Keepers Square, various high-rise buildings began to appear in the city on the next level.
Each building has its own characteristics, but what remains constant is the emptiness and silence here.
Lin Sen and his party moved slowly at first, but after he and Wu Huan got used to the phantom, the group of more than 200 people began to move faster.
But after traveling for almost half a day and passing through more than a dozen cities, Lin Sen still didn't see Ling Xin.
‘Where has this guy gone?’ While muttering, Lin Sen began to wonder if he had taken the wrong path. What if the prophet was not deeper?
While I was thinking this, the knight responsible for exploring the path came back.
Moreover, before they returned to the team this time, Lin Sen found that their formation was a bit messy, and they completely lost their previous calmness.
"What happened? Akami! Did you find anything?" The leading knight looked a little surprised when he saw these people panicking. After all, more than two thousand years had passed, and this was the first time he saw his men so panicked.
When the scout captain got closer, he said breathlessly: "Well, we saw some very strange things, something that has never appeared in this world before."
"Oh?" The leader's surprise turned into curiosity, and he showed no fear at all.
"Let's go and have a look!" With that said, the team started to move forward.
But the scout captain quickly stopped him and said, "Captain, you can't go! Two of our brothers have been killed over there!"
Killed?!
This word is very sensitive, and it also seriously irritated the team leader.
Lin Sen's brows twitched. After he and Wu Huan looked at each other, he began to call for Lemidia's support. However, something even stranger happened.
Lemidia didn't respond at all...but Wu Huan and Lin Sen could clearly feel her presence.
It's true that misfortunes never come singly.
After hearing this, the team leader raised his hand and the team stopped again.
Then the scout captain rushed over and said to him: "Captain, that is something like black smoke. It is now wandering less than a kilometer away from us. Before, we thought it was just some kind of dust, but when the two brothers
After coming into contact with them, they were immediately swallowed up by the black smoke, and even the Phantom was not spared."
After listening to the scout captain's description, the captain's expression became a little more serious, but it had been the first time in such a long time that even the moving black smoke appeared, let alone the enemies that posed a threat to them.
Is this some kind of sign? The regiment leader thought for a while and then said: "You guys will escort His Majesty's two distinguished guests back first, and the others will follow me to the front to see the situation."
According to Lin Sen's usual habits, he would naturally not take risks casually, but this time, he was also very curious.
Black smoke that can swallow life?
"No need, I'll go with you to take a look. If there's any danger, I can be of some help." Lin Sen said, driving the phantom to come closer to the group leader.
Wu Huan also followed closely, she would not let Lin Sen take the risk alone.
After the group leader glanced at Lin Sen, he hesitated, but did not refuse.
"Okay, but you have to be more careful. If you do encounter an enemy, just take care of yourself!"
Lin Sen nodded, glanced at Wu Huan, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Let's go! Go see what it is!"
Following the order from the group leader, these nearly two hundred people set off on the road again.
The scout captain followed the group leader. He looked solemn all the way. Although he knew that he could not change the group leader's mind, he was also ready to sacrifice for the team at any time.
The one kilometer journey was quickly reached.
When they were still two hundred meters away from where the scout leader had encountered the enemy, Lin Sen and his party saw the strange black smoke filling the air.
As the scout leader said, they are indeed alive and wandering around here. They seem to be conscious, but indifferent to the people not far away.
It was the first time for Lin Sen to see such things, but for some reason, as soon as he saw them, Lin Sen felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
"What is this?" The knights, who had not seen other living creatures for many years, began to talk about it.
The leader was also shocked and speechless, but he quickly calmed down and began to look for traces of the two men who had been swallowed by the black smoke.
However, they were completely invisible in the wide streets and surrounding empty houses.
Is it true, as the scout captain said, that the black smoke can swallow them up?
"Captain, I always feel that we will be in big trouble if we continue to stay here, so I think we should go back first and tell His Majesty what happened here, so that His Majesty and the others can be prepared in case this thing goes to the upper level.
." The scout captain's loyalty is unquestionable.
The group leader was also a sensible person, but he slowly felt a special sense of familiarity as he looked at the black smoke.
Lin Sen was beside him. He glanced at the silent leader and read the involuntary curiosity in his eyes under the mask.
Slowly, the things in Lin Sen's impression became concrete.
"Is this... could it be the 'it' that appeared in Cerberus more than ten years later?" Lin Sen boldly guessed.
Wu Huan was also shocked. Hearing what Lin Sen said, it seemed a bit similar.
It's just that the thing in front of me is much larger, and it's not human-shaped.
After looking at it for a while, Lin Sen became more and more convinced that the thing in front of him had many similarities with the "it" he had come into contact with. The black smoke also had no eyes, but everyone who looked at it could feel his own eyes.
Being stared at, and as the duration of observation increases, people will involuntarily have inexplicable expectations and uncontrollable curiosity about it.
Thinking of this, Lin Sen quickly looked away and no longer looked at it, but when he lowered his head, he caught a glimpse of a knight beside the scout captain starting to walk forward slowly.
This strange scene made Lin Sen feel nervous. He hurriedly shouted to the knight: "Come back! Don't look at it! Lower your head!"
However, Lin Sen was still a step too late. When he shouted out, the knight who seemed to have lost his soul had already shouted loudly and drove the sitting phantom towards the black smoke.
Then, under the surprised eyes of everyone, he was instantly engulfed in black smoke, and then disappeared without a trace...
"What the hell! Get ready to fight!" The regiment leader suddenly woke up, shouting randomly, holding a long gun.
In an instant, hundreds of lances stood up at the same time, and then at the command of the regiment leader, with a buzzing sound and a dazzling silver light, hundreds of lances pierced the black smoke with terrifying screams.
At the same time that the knights launched their attack, dense scarlet eyes suddenly lit up within the black smoke.
Those huge, swaying eyes suddenly plunged into the ground in a flash.
Immediately, a chilling rustling sound broke the tranquility of the city.
Lin Sen's brows twitched. He looked at the ground, and his conscious awareness made him feel that the enemy was approaching.
"Retreat! Back! They're coming!"
Lin Sen shouted loudly, then grabbed Wu Huan beside him and pulled her into his arms.
Then, before Wu Huan could recover, her previous mount was torn apart by a dark monster that suddenly appeared from the ground.
The leader who was just in front was horrified. Just as he was about to draw his sword, the scout captain behind him rushed over and pushed him off his mount. Then the scout captain and the captain's mount were smashed into pieces by a bolt of black lightning.
Blood foam.
"Back off!!!! Back off!!!!"
Accompanied by Lin Sen's loud shouts, the knights were in chaos, and their usual battle formation was now completely broken up by these enemies emerging from the ground.
In the blink of an eye, there were only less than fifty people left in the team of hundreds of people, and these were still far away.
Looking at the leader fighting alone in a pool of blood, Lin Sen wanted to stay, but when he saw the dark monster easily swallowing the leader together with the sword in his hand, his impulse disappeared, and he fiercely
The phantom clamped down on the ground and fled towards the road as fast as possible.
Behind him, those who reacted slowly and lost their mounts were quickly devoured by the chasing enemies.
The screams and cries gradually faded away. Lin Sen gritted his teeth and forced himself not to look back.
Wu Huan was frightened. She had never encountered such a terrifying enemy.
I can't see where they are at all, and I can't resist them... This kind of hopelessness makes people despair.
…
When Lin Sen returned to the upper level with Wu Huan and the remaining twenty knights, he finally slowed down a bit.
Looking at the passage behind him, Lin Sen turned over, drew out his long sword, and began to hack at the locking device of the passage.
These gates, which can only be controlled by primitive means, are not easily defeated.
Fortunately, the other knights saw Lin Sen's intention. Although they were sad and unwilling, no one said a word "no".
As everyone's swords rose and fell, the door slammed shut, and the two cities were completely isolated.
After doing all this, Lin Sen did not stop to rest. He said to everyone: "Everyone go back as soon as possible! It is not safe here!"
