Chapter 560 The Great Crisis in the Lost City
Updated: 2011-10-13
"Your Majesty, do you want me to avoid it?" Taoist priest Yaoji bowed and said.
"No need." The Lost Emperor waved his hand lightly: "The national master knows this more clearly than me. If you explain it, it should be more."
Taoist priest Yaoji was stunned, and then said in surprise: "Master, do you really want..."
"Haha, there is no need to be surprised. Maybe he can really surprise us." The Lost Emperor nodded and said.
"Emperor? What do you want me to do for you?" Ye Tianxie asked straight to the point. Judging from the expression of the Taoist priest of Yaoji, this lost emperor must be prepared to let him do something quite amazing.
The Lost Emperor did not answer, and looked at Ye Tianxie for a while, and suddenly smiled: "It really looks like..."
“It’s very similar?”
"Yes, the feeling you give me is very similar to Wuming in the past. That year, he spent just three days passing the abyss trial, causing a huge sensation. I had tried to summon him, but I had no way to find him. Later, he appeared in the Lost City, just to challenge the two strongest people in my Lost City. After defeating, he left without leaving any trace. Even if I stood beside me, there was no intention of taking a look. I, the emperor, could not get into the eyes of such a strong man as him." The Lost Emperor said in memory. As soon as he finished speaking, the Taoist priest Yaoji said: "Emperor, Wuming should also be from another world. He does not know the etiquette of our world, so he is so disrespectful to the emperor..."
The Lost Emperor waved his hand: "No need to say, if he was intimidated in front of me, or stayed because of my words and the temptation of the powerful, I would rather look down on him. Take everything lightly, don't contaminate the world, disdain for the so-called power and nobles, and will not be willing to surrender to anyone's control. This is the image of the "strong man" in my heart. Such a strong man is destined to be impossible for anyone to use."
Ye Tianxie: "..."
"Just like you, in front of me, there was no awe or nervousness at all. Although I couldn't see your eyes, your eyes were as sharp as needles... It's worthy of being the 'hero' who can pass the abyss trial and defeat the twelve divine beasts of the Lost Continent."
Ye Tianxie smiled and said, "Emperor, I am definitely not disrespectful to you."
"Haha, I understand. I like your attitude. If you are too respectful to me, I will be disappointed. You can keep calm in front of me. You have already shown your extraordinaryness to me. In fact, many times, I really want to be an ordinary person from the Lost Continent. You can run around, hunt, and work hard every day for growth like ordinary people... Alas." The Lost Emperor sighed. The Taoist Maestro stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, since the moment of eternal destiny disappeared and the tower of destiny changed, you have not had a good rest. Pay attention to your health. All the people of the Lost Continent need you."
"My body is fine. It's just a lot of things, and you can't help but worry." The Lost Emperor opened his eyes and said to Xie Tian: "The guard you wear on your head was the president of the Imperial Palace Guard of the Lost City. He is a strong man with the strength of Tianjue. He has a righteous heart and has also received the hero badge. Until now, the Lost City has not forgotten his name. I asked you to come today, one is to see you, a brave man in another world who created miracles with his own eyes. In addition, I hope that as the emperor of my Lost Continent, I will make a request to you... it is a request, not an order, and I do not have the right to order you. You can refuse, this is your freedom."
Ye Tianxie did not nod immediately, but smiled and said, "You should be a good emperor who cares about the country and the people, not for yourself, but for the people. I think I will not refuse your request... But, after all, I am just a player, with limited ability, and even an ordinary guard in your palace. To be honest, the reason why I can pass the trial of the abyss is because of many chances."
"Hahaha," the Lost Emperor laughed comfortably: "I heard you praise me for a good emperor, and I actually felt a sense of honor for the first time. This is the Lost Continent and the world of fate. No matter what you passed the trial of the abyss, you have passed it after all. A person who can create myths with his low strength must be the one favored by fate. Perhaps, you are really the hero sent by fate to save the upcoming catastrophe in the city."
Ye Tianxie twitched his lips and said, "Emperor, don't you believe this kind of rumor that is obviously imaginary, right?"
"Haha, if you have time to be blind, you will be more comfortable. Besides, the Lord of Tianchen City told me that you let the blood-colored phoenix that has troubled Tianchen City for several years be dispersed at a level of more than ten, and then I don't know how to use it to enter the interior of the Tower of Destiny... Once it could be accidental, luck, so many incredible things, it would never be accidental. In any case, Xie Tian, listen to me finish it first. This is the thing that I have troubled and feared the most in the past few years."
Ye Tianxie nodded, without opening his mouth, and made a quiet listening posture.
The Lost Emperor paused, brewed his emotions, and said slowly: "From the north of my Lost City, just fifteen kilometers northeast, there is a vast forest that has existed since ancient times and spread for hundreds of miles. It is called the Lost Forest. The existence of countless years has given it countless towering trees and countless creatures. It was once a natural barrier to the northeast of the Lost City, and it has always been a treasure land for the development of the Lost City. The people of the Lost City hunt, gather herbs, and log in there... Most of the beasts there are gentle and have strong regeneration ability. The people of the Lost City have always believed that it is a huge treasure given to the Lost City by God..."
"But, since more than three years ago, nightmare began to come. The overflow of demonic energy caused by the changes in the Tower of Destiny turned countless beasts into monsters. The beasts in the vast forest quickly became more and more violent, occasionally rushing out of the forest to make hurtful actions, but these are not the most terrifying. Since three years ago, a terrible 'beast' and even more terrifying...'poison' suddenly appeared in the forest."
"Poison?" Ye Tianxie frowned.
"That's right, it's poison!" The Lost Emperor sighed silently and continued: "The Lost City masters are countless, and the beasts are violent. We can use powerful force to subdue them. So although it is harder than before, it cannot really stop the people of the Lost City from going to the vast forest to obtain the resources they need. However, from three years ago, people who entered the deep forest never came back. At first, they thought they were destroyed by monsters. With warning, when people entered, they would seek more people to unite... However, the frequency of people entering the forest disappeared is getting higher and higher, and it caused more and more panic. We also began to feel that things were unusual. Later... the national teacher, what happened later was what you saw with your own eyes, tell him."
"Yes!" Taoist priest Yaoji responded and said, "Later, I teleported myself to the inside of the Lost Forest with the teleportation talisman, but found that an extremely terrible change had occurred there. The trees, water, and even the land had turned green! Around, there were beasts, and human bodies... all of them were terrible green..."
Ye Tianxie looked up and said, "Poison?"
"It's not only poison, but also extremely terrifying poison. I only stood there for a few seconds and felt a sense of suffocation. I returned with the teleportation talisman as fast as possible. After returning to the city, I was seriously ill for three days and took more than 30 detoxification pills, which was considered to have escaped... I had practiced alchemy and had a little research on poison, but I had never seen such a domineering poison in my life. Ordinary poisons could never invade my body, but that day I just stood there for no time to breathe, and almost died. No wonder those people entering the forest did not even have the chance to struggle and shout." Taoist priest Yaoji said with lingering fear.
"Then what's going on with this poison? Three years should be enough to detect it, right? And... what is the beast I just mentioned?" Ye Tianxie asked.
The Lost Emperor and the Taoist Master Yaoji shook their heads at the same time and sighed: "It would be great if we could find out the source of the poison, but what's scary is that after more than three years, we still don't know what the poison is because of."
Ye Tianxie: "..."
"If the poison is only concentrated in the center of the forest, we can warn all people to avoid it, but that terrible change is not just that. We gradually discovered that the range of poisons has been spreading, and the erosion is getting bigger and bigger. Two years ago, the center of the forest has become a terrible green. A year ago, a small half of the forest has become a place of death that will surely die. Now, two-thirds of the lost forest have become a green of death, all the towering trees in the forest have become a tree, and the swamp has become a poisonous swamp. Even the outer periphery of the forest that has not been affected temporarily is filled with thick and light green mist."
"That is the treasure land of the Lost City - the Lost Forest, but since two years ago, its name has become the "poisonous fog forest" that people talk about. Now, no one dares to step into the poisonous fog forest. In the past, the wood, medicinal materials, animal meat, leather, and monster crystals needed can all be obtained in the Lost Forest, but now, the people of my Lost City have to spend several times hard to go to other places... Perhaps, this is nothing, but the biggest panic in the Lost City at present is the spread of the poisonous fog. With the spreading speed of the poisonous fog in the poisonous fog forest, it will spread to the Lost City in two to three years at the latest... At that time, there is no need for the demons to get involved again. Just the poisonous fog is enough to gradually turn the Lost City into a city of death."
Ye Tianxie: "..."
poison……
poison?
Such a powerful poison...
Green poison...
