Chapter 4: The Demon City

With a creaking sound, a big tree suddenly collapsed, and the demon spirit knight and I agilely dodged the fallen trunk. A huge spider appeared behind the big tree, and it was no smaller than an elephant!

Sgot rushed up with other demon spirit knights. Although the spider was large, its level was not high. He was killed by the demon spirit knight in just a few seconds. By the way, the items Clark asked to collect seemed to have spider poison sacs. I went up and used the collection technique n consecutive times at the spider, but I didn't see the poison sacs, but I touched two poison fangs! So stingy, how great it would be to give me a poison sac!

After the giant spider, we encountered many monsters, none of which were smaller than bears, and they were all insect-type. It seems that this forest is dedicated to demonized insects.

As we walked, a faint light curtain suddenly appeared in front of us. This light curtain was transparent, so although it stretched to the high altitude, we didn't notice it along the way! If we hadn't just arrived at a very close place, it suddenly flashed, and we wouldn't have seen that there was something here!

Through the light curtain, we can see that there is a forest similar to ours. I can even see a deep place, but I didn't see a monster. It is basically certain that the inside of the light curtain is safe. However, because we don't know whether the light curtain is aggressive, we dare not try it rashly. The old method asked Sgot to summon a skeleton to try it.

The skeleton walked towards the light curtain without any melancholy. When it touched the light curtain, the light curtain flashed a few times, and the nearby light curtain showed obvious distortion. But the more magical one was still behind. The skeleton entering the light curtain seemed to disappear. It passed through the light curtain, but we did not see it! We could see the woods behind the light curtain, but we did not see the skeleton!

"Sgot? Did your skeleton pass through?"

"I feel like it's passed through!"

"Then why can't we see it?" I held my chin and thought for a while. "Can you still sense it?"

"Of course! The sensing is very strong!"

"Let it come out!"

The skeleton suddenly walked out of the light curtain, as if it was penetrated from the time and space gate! We experimented several times and the situation was almost the same! I casually broke a piece of branch from the trunk next to it and threw it towards the light curtain. The branches disappeared from our sight when they passed through the light curtain, and they did not appear in the forest behind the light curtain!

I have basically guessed several possibilities now. The first possibility is that this light curtain is a transmission system. Things passing through the light curtain are directly transmitted to a certain place without entering the forest behind the light curtain; the second possibility is that the light curtain is actually a illusion barrier. The forest we see now does not actually exist. The branches and skeletons actually pass through the light curtain and reach the back of it, but the illusion blocks our sight, so we can't see anything! However, since the skeleton can go back and forth at will, the light curtain is at least not aggressive, so I decided to give it a try myself!

I stood in front of the light curtain and carefully stretched out one hand through the light curtain. When my fingers touched the light curtain, I felt nothing. It seemed that this thing did not have a physical form! I continued to stretch my hand forward, and miraculously, the part of my hand passing through the light curtain disappeared. I couldn't see my hand reaching over, but I could feel that my hand was still there. I walked over with one go.

Shocked! I was stunned after passing through the light curtain! Behind the light curtain was not the forest I just saw, and the black forest in front of me returned to the towering appearance of giant trees. Giant trees over a hundred meters were everywhere, mixed with some low trees, and the ground was covered with some short shrubs and other things, but these things were not very dense and did not affect walking. I took a few steps back in surprise and left the light curtain and returned to the beginning. The light curtain appeared in front of me again. What I saw was the low, leaves-free forest again! But when I walked through again, the dense forest was restored. It seemed that this light curtain could indeed block the view of the outside world!

The Demon Spirit Knight also followed me through the light curtain. The scene in front of them made them stunned for a moment, but it was not as serious as me!

Sgot suddenly shouted. "My Dark God! Is this the Demon City Aisinger!"

"Aisinger? What's that?"

Sgot calmed down his emotions and said, "There were four ultimate evil areas in China, namely the Lost City, the Memorial City, the Demon Fortress, and the Demon Capital Aisinger. Among them, the Demon Capital Aisinger was the most powerful one. But later, the three main cities of the system mobilized 30 million troops to form a sacred coalition and jointly attacked the Demon Capital Aisinger. The war lasted for more than a month, and the Demon Capital Aisinger was finally broken. The city lord at that time was forced to detonate the evil eye of the Demon Capital, and the 30 million Holy Legion and the 10 million Aisinger city defense army were transformed into an evil soul. From then on, this place became an evil curse land, and the evil power of the 40 million unjust souls made this place a forbidden area for light, and the personnel of the Light side would be greatly weakened here."

"It sounds very tragic, but what about the city? Why can't I see anything? There are trees here!"

"These are not ordinary trees. These are fragments of the Evil Eye and turned into trees. They will absorb all power except dark power. If anyone uses magic other than dark magic here, they will consume twice the magic power. Moreover, here, pure light mages cannot recover their magic power at all. If they use it all, they will not increase again unless they leave this forest and go outside the light curtain just now."

"By the way, what's going on with this light curtain?"

"That's not clear!" Sgot shook his head. "We demon knights have always been stationed in the Dark Lord Temple. The four Dark Cities are just subordinate institutions. But I think this may be a pure protective measure, just like the Black Water Lake outside the Lost City. Each Dark Cities has its own special protective measures. As for the illusion and black forest you saw at the beginning, every Dark Cities has it!"

"You haven't answered yet where is my city?"

"In fact, the city should be not far from here. The main reason is that these trees are too dense and cannot be seen. Just go out!"

"Then let's go and have a look!" I summoned Ye Ying and jumped up. Ye Ying was ready to ride, so I don't have to squeeze a horse with Sgot anymore!

Not long after I walked, I saw a large area of ​​white things swaying in the forest. I rushed to see clearly. Good guy, a large area of ​​skeletons! Let the dart find a skeleton far away from the team and hit it. I read the skeleton data. Good, these are magic skeletons of level 600! Not to mention the defense is super exaggerated, the attack power is also scary, but fortunately, the dart that went up to test was actually slapped by the skeleton. Although the dart level is still very low, the speed of the dart is able to intercept the dart speed. The agility of these skeletons is too perverted? The skeletons I encountered before generally do not exceed 200, and the level of these guys is as high as 600! Otherwise, these skeletons are all holding shiny weapons and wearing black cloaks! It turns out they are high-end goods!

"Sgot, is there a road nearby that can be used to go around?" I am not a Superman, and I am powerless to do anything about things that are almost 300 levels higher. Moreover, these guys are too large and very dense. Maybe the demon knights can kill them after a long time!

Before Sgot could answer, the skeleton harassed by the dart actually ran over. Sgott picked up the spear and prepared to fight, but unexpectedly, the skeleton stopped before rushing to us. Its long sword flashed, and a black magic bullet condensed from the blade and flew over. This kind of magic skeleton is actually magic swordsmen, and you can attack remotely without getting close to us!

Seeing that the skeleton was attacking from a range, Sgot immediately turned the spear in his hand and turned into a projection position. With the sound of breaking the wind, the spear was accurately hit by the skeleton's head. With a click, the entire skeleton's head turned into white powder. But what surprised us was that the skeleton with no head actually rushed up with its long sword!

I quickly retreated. This kind of thing is too high, and it is dangerous for me to go up and fight! The demon spirit knight rushed up and knocked the entire skeleton to pieces! These skeletons are so terrible. They can do magic and melee combat, and they have no vital points. They still beat them if their heads fall off!

Looking at these skeletons from afar, I suddenly remembered, can I fly if I can't do it on the ground? I didn't say that I must climb over the pile of skeletons! I put away the demon spirit knights and demon pets who could not fly, and I spread my wings and flew into the sky. As soon as I flew together, I found something was wrong. The endurance value fell like a horse watch. At this speed, I could last in the air for at most 30 seconds!

I flew up desperately. As long as I exceeded the height of the tree, I could summon luck and left the narrow forest. They took me to fly! They accelerated and finally rose above the forest when the endurance value was about to bottom. I quickly summoned luck and landed on his back.

After falling steady, I looked up and was shocked! It was completely shocked! I was taller than the treetops and suddenly saw a mountain. The shape of the mountain was very uniform, and it looked like it was dug by hand! Looking at it this way, the mountain was probably hundreds of meters high, and the overall shape looked like a square double-layer cake!

I don’t have time to appreciate the mountain carefully, and the luck endurance value under me also dropped very quickly. Fortunately, the dragon has good flying ability and high endurance value. It is not a problem to support it at this speed for three to five minutes. When luck is no longer possible, you can change to the plague and crystal. Anyway, I have many magic pets that can fly, so I will take me one by one, and I guess I can support it to the edge of the forest!

As expected, Lucky flew for more than four minutes and couldn't support it anymore. The plague was summoned by me to replace Lucky, and then it was replaced with Crystal. Crystal and Plague flew for less than 8 minutes in total, and then Xiaofeng came out to take the shift. Although Xiaofeng only lasted for two minutes, she was fast. When she couldn't do it, we were almost at the edge of the forest. I then changed to Xiaolongnu, and we arrived at the edge of the forest for only one minute and landed smoothly. On the edge of the forest behind, countless skeletons were still wandering, but they never came out of the forest. It seemed that they had activity restrictions!

Now I can finally take a good look at this mountain. I just dared to stare at the endurance value of the demon pet in the sky, for fear that if I accidentally use it, it will become a dinner for the skeletons! Now that I have landed, of course, I will summon the demon spirit knight first. With them here, I can resist any unexpected situations for a while!

The edge of the forest is only more than 2,000 meters away from the foot of the mountain. The ground is full of black and gray hard soil. We rode a horse for a few minutes to reach the foot of the mountain. We got off from Ye Ying's back and stood on the ground and looked up at the mountain. My neck kept tilting back and finally didn't stand firm. I took two steps back and sat on the ground. The mountain was really tall enough, and from the foot of the mountain it looked like it was connected to the sky! The towering gray mountain gave people a strong sense of oppression, which made people want to retreat unconsciously!

This is not so much a mountain as a fortress. There are no plants on the mountain, and the entire surface is covered with black and gray rocks. The outer periphery of the mountain was obviously artificially dug. Not only is the mountain a regular quadrilateral, but there are also many skulls inlaid on the smooth exterior wall. The angle between the mountain and the ground is also as high as 80 degrees. It seems that this mountain is called a city wall more suitable! I don’t really believe that there will be any mountain that is square, and there will be no skulls on the mountain. This must be a big mountain that was dug out by artificially dug out! I don’t really believe that there will be any mountain that is square, and there will be no skulls on the mountain.

, it turned into a square city wall. As for the skeletons, they were purely artificially embedded to scare people! The front width of this "city wall" is about 29,000 meters, and the height is estimated to be more than 450 meters! The Demon Knight found a huge gap in the mountain. The mountains on both sides sandwiched the gap about 30 meters wide, and large pieces of gravel piled on the ground in the gap. It seems that this was once one of the city entrances, but it has collapsed, so it has become what it is now!

Look at this passage, you must not think about riding a horse. It is probably difficult for people to climb over! I put away my magic pet and tried my wings. It seems that it can fly normally. The only place to consume endurance seems to be that forest! After confirming that I can fly, I put away the demon spirit knight and flew directly through the passage and into the interior. The walls on both sides of the passage also went straight up, which proves that this was originally a tunnel that was dug out. The huge rocks on the ground were only paved about 100 meters at the entrance, which shows that this place was originally a city gate, and the huge rocks should be the wreckage of the city gate collapsed!

The length of the entire passage is as high as more than 1,900 meters, which means that the "city wall" is nearly two kilometers thick! This thickness of the city wall is really terrible! No wonder it has been held in front of a large army that is three times more than one month!

Through the long passage, I finally entered the interior of the mountain. It turned out that this was Aisinger! The so-called demon city was built by hollowing out a mountain! But now, what I see is the broken walls and ruins everywhere. The whole city seems to have been attacked by atomic bombs, and broken bricks and tiles are everywhere! I can roughly see the layout of the city’s streets, and the streets in the tic-tac-shaped layout are still vaguely distinguishable, but the houses on both sides no longer exist!

There is another thing standing in the center of the city. Judging from the color and texture, it and the city wall are from the original mountain. That is to say, this thing is part of the mountain and it stayed when it was dug. I don’t know whether it is a pillar or a tower. The bottom of it is a circle with a diameter of 1,200 meters and a height of about 7,500 meters! The bottom of this thing is actually not as high as the city foundation. It is standing on a 200-meter-high base. This base is a square with a side length of 2,000 meters. There are artificial steps in four directions, and the four sides of the tower-like thing above also have entrances. It seems that the inside of this thing should be empty.

Because there was no sign of monsters, I summoned Sgot alone and took him directly to the pedestal of the tower.

"Sgot, do you know what this thing is?"

Sgot looked at it and said, "If you are right, this should be the legendary spiritual gathering tower! The place where we are standing now should have been a dark temple, and the tower should be empty, and there is a passage to reach the top of the tower."

"The passage is too slow, let's fly up!"

"Impossible!" Sgott grabbed me. "There is a suppression system on the Spirit Gathering Tower. It's nothing to fly at a low altitude. It won't work after exceeding the height of the city wall. The magic barrier will ensure that nothing can go to the top of the tower without going through the entrance to the bottom of the tower."

"That's it! Then let's climb the stairs!"

Following Sgot into the legendary spiritual gathering tower, a burst of cold air hit me and made me tremble. "Why is it so cold here?"

"This is not cold air, it is evil air. Yin wind gusts are like this!"

"Haunted!" I moved my body to adapt to the invasion of evil spirits. After all, I was also a dark force. Although the evil spirits made me uncomfortable, there was no actual harm.

After entering the tower along a passage, an upward staircase began to appear. We ran all the way to the end of the staircase. Here is a room of 10 meters square, with steps in all directions leading here. There is a rotating escalator on the side wall of the room. The escalator circling to the top, but I can't see the sky. It seems that the escalator does not penetrate the tower body!

After 30 minutes, I finally realized how great an invention of the elevator was. The height of the 7,500-meter tower was equivalent to the height of a building with a nearly 2,000-story floor. It would be strange if we were not exhausted to climb up by a spiral ladder! In the end, I simply summoned Yeying. The stairs were relatively wide and the slope was not large. Yeying could run on it. With Yeying, we were much faster, but there were side effects. After a while, I started to feel dizzy and kept turning in one direction, making my head dizzy!

No! It’s not a solution to always climb like this. We have only walked nearly half of the height. If we reach the top, I won’t hang it anymore! I stretched out my head from the side of the spiral staircase and looked at the top and judged the height. I raised my right hand to aim at the top of the tower, and put the arrow of the dragon tendon cable onto the Avengers. With a buzzing sound, the arrow hit the top of the tower but did not hit it. The arrow was bounced to one side, but the falling arrow hung the spiral staircase. The arrow went around the spiral staircase for several rounds because of inertia. I tried to pull it, and it was still strong. I put away Sgott and jumped out of the spiral staircase. I activated the automatic line collection function of the dragon tendon cable, and I was naturally pulled to the top of the tower. Although this simple elevator was not very comfortable, it was much better than climbing the staircase. The most important thing is that it was faster!

I soon arrived at the top floor, took off the pivotal cable, and I went up the spiral ladder. The spiral ladder suddenly ended here, and a wooden door appeared at the end of the spiral ladder. But the wooden door has now become two halves, and it seems that it will fall off at any time when it is leaned against the door! The broken door panel blocked half of the door, and I went up to try to move the door panel a little, but as soon as I touched it, the whole door fell down, and a burst of smoke and dust was lifted up. It was indeed a long time since no one used it!

Behind the door is a staircase that is narrow, at most two people can pass side by side, but fortunately it is not very steep. I ran up the stairs, and within a short while I reached the end of the stairs, and there were signs of light in front of me.

I was stunned when I rushed out of the stairs. The exit of the passage was already the edge of the tower. I could see the appearance of most of the city. The appearance of the city seemed to be not square but concave. The direction we entered Aisinger was exactly a straight line, but the opposite side was concave. Moreover, what surprised me the most was that the other side of Aisinger was actually the sea! Aisinger was a port city! The gap in the concave character was obviously a port!

Because there are no railings on the top of the Spirit Gathering Tower now, I didn't dare to go to the side! Turn around the exit just now and you can see the whole picture of the top of the tower. It turned out that this is a very flat platform, and it should be a circle, but it seems not as big as the bottom. The diameter here is about 800 meters, slightly thinner than the bottom. In the middle of the platform is a pile of ruins, which looks like an altar or something.

I summoned Sgoth. "Do you know what this is?"

"This is the altar where the Evil Eye is placed, but it was destroyed when it exploded!"

"Is the sea connected to the port behind it? It's not a big lake, right?"

"Yes! That's the sea. This place should have been a deep water port. I heard before that the magic capital Aisinger has the world's largest port!"

I look at the port below. According to the length of the city wall of 29,000 meters and then compare the size of the port, you can roughly estimate that the port width is at least 9,000 meters. In this way, the size of this port should be more than 7 times that of the port in Hongliucheng, so it is not surprising that it can be the world's number one!

I suddenly found that there were many round black spots on the top of the "city wall" around the city, because the distance was too far and could not be seen clearly. "Sgot, what are those black spots?"

"Are those on the city walls?"

"Yes!"

"Those are the bases of the turret. The Magic City is said to have 280 giant magic crystal cannons at that time!"

"280 Gate? That's not a 28 billion crystal coin? Oh my God! It's worthy of being the first demon city, it's generous enough to take action!" It's good to use the ruins of this demon city to build the city! The city walls are ready-made. Just clean up the ruins and rebuild the gate to make a city! It just so happens that we need a guild station now, and I'm afraid of trouble. Here we can save a lot of trouble, and the most important thing is to save money! "Sgot, is there a magical illusion on the sea?"

"Yes! The illusion is a spherical shape, not only around, but also in the sky and underground!"

"That's good!" I have decided and turned around and built the city here!

Since I plan to use this place, I need to see all the places clearly. The first thing I need to pay attention to is the city wall. Sgot and I came to the city wall, and now we found that the city wall is not solid. There are passages in the city wall, and there are many rooms with special uses! The explosion of the Evil Eye seems to be effective only on things built by humans. The city wall excavated by this mountain is well protected without any signs of damage.

After the day's investigation, the entire city was basically intact, except for the destruction of the buildings, it could be said to be a very perfect fortress city.

After dinner, I went online to continue to check the city facilities, but as soon as I went online, I was shocked! I was actually standing among a large group of wronged souls! I rolled and crawled to a higher platform and found that the whole city was full of these things! The translucent souls were shuttled through the city like living people, and they emitted a faint green light. Just when I was still in shock, a ghost actually walked out from behind me and walked out. He didn't seem to notice that I continued to do his own thing.

Soon I discovered that these ghosts were all illusions, they could not see me at all, or they did not respond to me! Each ghost was doing his own thing, and they seemed to be still in the most prosperous period of Aisinger. It was really scary enough, the city full of ghosts!
Chapter completed!
