The sound of the sea water lapping at the city gates and walls outside was frightening and made people worry that the city gates and walls were about to be destroyed.
I don’t know what’s so special about the stone materials of Black Death City. After experiencing the constant impact and erosion of the highly corrosive sea water, it still stands, with no sign of black water infiltration.
No matter how fierce the tsunami-like black water outside was, it was still unable to break down the walls of the Black Death City.
It is strange to say that it is understandable that the city walls and gates cannot be broken down, but it is a bit incredible that not even a drop of water is sprinkled from the top of the city wall.
Although the city wall of Black Death City is very high, Li Xiu looked at the height of the tsunami. Even if it was not higher than the city wall, some seawater should splash in after hitting the city wall.
But so far, not even a drop of water mist has been seen in the city.
"This Black Death City is really an incredible place. I wonder if other trial places are this magical." Li Xiu had the idea of going to other trial places.
There were constant sounds of crashing waves outside, mixed with weird calls from time to time. The calls were higher-frequency than the calls of dolphins, and they were not as loud as the calls of dolphins. They were a bit weird and harsh, with bursts of noise.
It's frightening.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the strange screams gradually stopped, and there was no sound of water hitting the city gate.
"The demon spirit must have left, right?" Chu Jun put his ear against the city gate and listened for a while, then looked at Li Xiu with some uncertainty.
"You don't even know, how could I know." Li Xiu spread his hands helplessly and said.
"It's probably time to leave. The demonic spirit seems to be unable to leave the Black Sea. It just set off a tsunami and hit the Black Death City. If it really comes ashore, it's hard to say whether this door can withstand its impact.
Chu Jun hesitated and said, "Would you like to go out and take a look? I don't know what happened to the ship."
Li Xiu was also thinking about the ship. When he was hesitating whether to go out now or wait for a while, he suddenly heard the city gate ringing again.
Dongdong! Dongdong!
The sudden noise startled both of them, and they thought it was the terrifying demon spirit in the sea coming back again.
After listening carefully for a while, I realized that the movement was too small. It didn't look like the terrifying demon was coming back, but it looked like someone was smashing the door with their fists.
"Who is it? Who is outside?" Chu Jun shouted loudly through the door.
The only thing that answered him was Dongdong's voice, not a human voice.
The two people looked at each other, and Chu Jun said with a strange expression: "I still can't sense the existence of the demon spirit. Is there really someone on the boat?"
"Although it's a bit unbelievable, it's really possible." Li Xiu said thoughtfully.
"Then should we open the door? What if the person on the ship really escaped death? If we don't open the door, wouldn't we also cut off his last way of survival." Chu Jun said hesitantly.
"If you wait a little longer, he can survive in that extreme environment for as long as this moment." Li Xiu said thoughtfully.
The two of them stood inside the door, staring at the door, listening to the sound of winter constantly ringing in their ears.
"Are you a human or a ghost? Tell me something, otherwise even if you are beaten to death outside, we will not open the door for you." Chu Jun couldn't bear it anymore and shouted outside again.
After Chu Jun shouted, the knocking on the door suddenly stopped.
It became completely silent outside, and after waiting for a while, the knocking on the door really disappeared and never sounded again.
"Isn't it someone outside who died?" Chu Jun was a little panicked.
What if there was someone outside the door who was injured and unable to speak. He knocked on the door for a long time asking for help, but ended up losing the chance of survival because he was too timid to open the door. Chu Jun would not be able to accept this outcome in his heart.
"Wait a moment." Li Xiu put his ear against the city gate and listened carefully.
"What if there is someone waiting for us outside for first aid..." Chu Jun felt compassionate.
"From the time the knocking on the door ended to now, I didn't hear any sound outside." Li Xiu said.
"Maybe he has passed out." Chu Jun said.
"Impossible." Li Xiu directly rejected Chu Jun's hypothesis and explained at the same time: "Judging from the height of the knock on the door just now, if the person outside is really a person, he would have to stand to knock on the door."
Chu Jun immediately understood what Li Xiu meant. If the person was standing and knocking on the door, there should be a sound whether he passed out or left.
But there has been no sound at all from just now, so there is only one explanation. That person or something that is not a person is still standing outside, motionless.
Chu Jun thought about it carefully and suddenly broke into a cold sweat: "You mean, the things outside want to trick us into opening the city gate?"
"We can only say that there is a possibility." Li Xiu stared at the door and said, "Maybe it is posted outside the door now. As soon as we open the door, it will rush in immediately."
After listening to Li Xiu's words, Chu Jun went to look at the city gate again. He always felt that something terrible was staring at them outside the city gate, giving him a creepy feeling.
"If that's the case, then let's forget about it. Let's just blow out the lights and leave the Black Death City." Chu Jun said.
"No hurry, just wait." Li Xiu kept his ear against the city gate, listening to the sounds outside.
Time passed by minute by minute, and several hours passed by waiting.
"It's been so long and there's no movement outside. Do you think we made a mistake? Is that thing outside gone away long ago? It's just that we can't hear the sound." Chu Jun said.
"It's also possible." Li Xiu nodded.
"Then why don't we open the door a little and see what's going on outside?" This kind of silent waiting was really torturous, and Chu Jun couldn't stand it any longer.
"Wait a minute." Li Xiu still maintained a close listening attitude and said expressionlessly: "If you are sleepy, just sleep for a while. I will call you later."
"That's fine." Chu Jun lay down next to him, but he couldn't sleep because he was tossing and turning. His mind was in a mess and he didn't know what he was thinking.
I don’t know when Chu Jun fell asleep, lost in the lake, and had a nightmare in his sleep. He dreamed that the tsunami from the Black Sea submerged the Black Death City, and he was soaked in the sea water, and his body was corroded by the black water.
He desperately wanted to swim out of the water, but his feet were caught by something. When he lowered his head, he saw a fierce ghost under the water, using his thin and blood-red hands to grab his feet and pull him down.
The terrifying water ghosts surrounded him one after another and kept pulling him down.
"Ah!" Chu Jun was so frightened that he woke up and jumped up. Then he realized that this was a dream. There was no black water flooding the city, and there was no scary water ghost.
The stove on the long street was still burning red, and the charcoal crackled occasionally inside. Li Xiu still kept his posture close to the city gate and listened.
Chu Jun looked at Li Xiu and wanted to say something, but Li Xiu made a silent gesture.
Chu Jun swallowed back the words that were on his lips, and then saw Li Xiu motioning for him to come over. Chu Jun quickly walked over, and like Li Xiu, he stuck to the city gate and listened carefully.
Soon, Chu Jun heard a sound like feet stepping on sand. The sound was very slight. If it were not for a trial subject with enhanced hearing, it would be almost impossible to hear such a subtle sound.
After listening carefully for a while, Chu Jun felt that the sound sounded like someone stepping on the sand away from the city gate.
"It's so dangerous, there really is something outside." Chu Jun was secretly glad in his heart. If Li Xiu hadn't been cautious enough, he might have opened the door before, and the consequences would be disastrous.
It wasn't until the footsteps could no longer be heard that Li Xiu lowered his voice and said to Chu Jun: "The things outside have gone far."
"What on earth is that?" Chu Jun also asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, it's not a good thing anyway. Even if it's a human being, it's definitely not a good person." Li Xiu said.
Chu Jun nodded, looked at Li Xiu and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"
"About three minutes to seven hours." Li Xiu replied.
Chu Jun looked at Li Xiu in surprise and said, "So, you have been listening here for more than ten hours? How can you be sure that there must be something outside?"
"I don't know, so I need to get the answer. If we left just now, we would never know the answer unless we open the door when we come next time. That would be too dangerous," Li Xiu said.
Chu Jun looked at Li Xiu with a complicated expression. He was able to stand in front of the city gate and listen motionless for more than ten hours for an answer that might not have been answered. This patience was really scary.
But it is true as Li Xiu said, if they have no way to determine whether there is anything outside, it will be too dangerous to open the door rashly next time they come to Black Death City.
"You rest for a while, let me guard you." Chu Jun was infected by Li Xiu and was not as restless as before, so he said to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu nodded, fell down next to the door, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Chu Jun quickly put his ear against the city gate and listened carefully to the movements outside. At the same time, he activated his inspiration skill to sense whether there were demon spirits appearing outside.
After listening to it for a while, Chu Jun felt more and more uncomfortable. He didn't know how much time had passed.
Being motionless like this is even more uncomfortable than asking him to work hard. Chu Jun would rather keep running now than be motionless like this.
Life lies in movement. This is the nature of life. It is far more uncomfortable for a person to do nothing except sleeping, than to do physical work.
What's more, Chu Jun is a restless person, so being motionless like this is really uncomfortable.
"How did this guy stay motionless for more than ten hours? I should have been feeling extremely uncomfortable for less than an hour." Chu Jun looked at Li Xiu who was sleeping, although he really wanted to move around, even if it was
Just take a few steps and stretch your legs and waist.
But in the end, Chu Jun gave up this idea, endured the restlessness in his heart, and continued to listen to what was going on outside.
The longer time passed, the more uncomfortable Chu Jun felt. He seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat, feel his blood vessels jumping, and his body was itchy, as if there were bugs crawling on his body.
He knew that this was his own psychological effect, he just wanted to stand up and move around.
The most important thing is that Chu Jun doesn't know the time. He doesn't know how long he has been listening, and he doesn't know how long he will listen. This is the most painful thing.
"Li Xiu..." I don't know how long it took, but Chu Jun couldn't bear it anymore. He called softly a few times, trying to wake up Li Xiu and let him replace him for a while so that he could move around.
However, after calling twice, he could not wake up Li Xiu. It seemed that Li Xiu was indeed too tired and fell into a very deep sleep.
"It's been how long. There's no sound at all. That thing probably won't come back. I just stood up and moved for a few seconds. There shouldn't be any problem..." As soon as this thought passed away
It happened, and it lingered in Chu Jun’s mind no matter what.
But after taking a look at Li Xiu sleeping there, Chu Jun forcibly resisted this idea.
At this time, Chu Jun was like an old smoker who was addicted to cigarettes. He felt something was wrong. He felt like insects were crawling all over his body. He was so uncomfortable that he almost groaned.
"Just a moment...ten seconds...not five seconds...three seconds is fine...just move around..." The devil in Chu Jun's heart was stirring.
But when he saw Li Xiu sleeping on the ground, Chu Jun forced the devil down again, stretched out his hand and pinched his leg hard: "Li Xiu has entrusted his life to me, how could I?"
If something goes wrong, in a place like this, even a second of mistake may cost your life, not even a second..."
"Just one second...it won't be a problem for just one second...that thing is gone..." The devil and angel in Chu Jun's heart were constantly fighting, and his breathing became rapid.
I felt uncomfortable, my body was itching uncomfortably, and my body was extremely hot. Even though I was just squatting there, my body was sweating all the time. My white tights were almost soaked with sweat.
I don’t know how long it took, but Chu Jun’s breathing gradually became calmer, and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated.
Chu Jun felt calmer than ever before, his mind seemed much clearer, and his body that had been sweating seemed much refreshed.
"I had a great sleep this time." Li Xiu finally woke up, sat up from the ground, and stretched.
"You finally woke up." Chu Jun let out a long breath.
"How long have I slept?" Li Xiu asked Chu Jun with a smile.
"How do I know how long you have slept?" Chu Jun shook his head.
"Next time, remember to remember the time. In a place like this, time is also very important." Li Xiu stood up and said, "Did you hear that thing coming back?"
Chu Jun was startled for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I didn't hear the sound."
"That's enough, open the door and take a look." Li Xiu said and walked towards the winch, pushed the winch, and slowly raised the city gate.
Chu Jun quickly lay down and looked out from the crack of the door below. Sure enough, there was nothing outside. At a glance, he saw two footprints that looked like human bare feet in front of the city gate. The footprints extended all the way out.
The direction is to the seaside.
Li Xiu raised the city gate by a small amount, fixed the winch, and squatted down to look outside. On the beach outside, in addition to footprints, there were many scattered wooden boards, which should have been left behind after the broken ship crashed.
.
"Tell the truth, were you pretending to sleep just now?" Chu Jun suddenly looked at Li Xiu and said.
"Why do you ask?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.
Chu Jun opened his mouth, but seemed not to know what to say. He shook his head again: "Forget it, it's nothing."
Li Xiu smiled and said nothing, summoned the Jedi Knights and Demigods to guard him for a moment, and then walked out of the city gate.
On the beach outside the city, you can see many scattered broken wooden boards. However, judging from the number of these wooden boards, they should only be a small part of the ship. Most of the wooden boards should have been brought back to the Black Sea when the sea water receded.
middle.
The beach has a strong water absorption capacity, and there are no traces of black water on the upper layer. Black water traces can occasionally be seen on the broken wooden boards.
With a thought in Li Xiu's mind, the demigod instantly raised his gun and fired at the nearest wooden board.
The bullets shining with blue light hit the wooden board, and the wooden board was sunk into the sand. The blue-light bullet exploded, making the sound of metal collision.
Li Xiu asked the demigod to go over and take the wooden board out of the sand. There was no scratch at all on the part of the wooden board that was hit by the bullet.
"Is this wood so hard?" Chu Jun said in surprise.
The demigod took the board back in an instant, and Li Xiu took it. The board was less than two feet long, and it suddenly sank in his hand. Li Xiu almost couldn't hold it.
"This is not wood... at least not ordinary wood..." Li Xiu used a lot of strength to hold the wooden board steady.
Chu Jun came over and tried to hold it. At first he used one hand, but then he used both hands to hold the board steadily without letting it fall on the sand.
"It's so heavy...the texture...should be metal..." Chu Jun looked at the wooden board in his hand and wondered.
"You help me guard, I will pick up some wooden boards and bring them back. This thing may be useful." Li Xiu summoned the Masked Emperor and asked Chu Jun to ride on the Masked Emperor to be responsible for guarding. He himself summoned other demon spirits.
I picked up the wooden boards on the beach one by one and piled them inside the city gate.
These wooden boards were all broken boards. The small one was only about the size of a palm. The largest one was more than three meters long and more than a foot wide. The demigod couldn't carry it alone at that moment. Li Xiu called the Jedi warriors to help. Two
The demon spirits carried the board back together.
"What is this?" When Li Xiu was picking up a wooden board, he saw something with a different color next to a wooden board.
These wooden boards are all gray, a bit like pig iron, but the color is lighter and the density seems to be much higher than pig iron.
The thing next to the wooden board is black and has a bit of a matte feel. The part exposed outside the sand looks like a pot lid with a semicircular handle on it, which is also matte black.
Li Xiu asked the Jedi Knight to come over, grab the semicircular handle, and try to pull out the thing. However, after the Jedi Knight continued to exert force, the thing did not move at all, as if it had taken root in the sand.
Li Xiu asked the demigod to come over instantly, and together with the Jedi, they picked at the edge of the black thing and tried to lift it up.
As a result, the two demon spirits bloomed with light. Due to excessive energy consumption, they had begun to flicker, but the thing was still motionless.
