Chapter 47: Incidents in the Black City
The Black City is dangerous, filled with strong Yin Qi, fire poison, and even half-dead creatures, ferocious beasts, and alien species.
But most of the danger lies underground.
The surface is much better.
Karl cherished his life and had no plans to explore the underground mines since he came to the Black City. He only hung out on the surface.
Even the transactions with Aya and others were chosen above.
I never thought...
"Why do so many monsters appear?"
Leaping up to the ridge of the roof, Karl frowned and felt a little resigned. .
Along the way, he encountered far more monsters than before, including coyotes, worms, and various half-dead creatures...
The danger is greatly increased!
A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. He is here to gain benefits and does not want to fight to the death with monsters.
“Ah!”
A scream came from the front, Karl’s eyes moved slightly, and he transformed into a black shadow and rushed over.
Martial skill - Eagle Step.
After seeing Iron Fist Abbe's methods, he also picked up the knight martial arts that had been almost put aside.
Thanks to the perfect control of the physical body in the fragment of the divine domain, the proficiency of martial arts is also improving by leaps and bounds.
Over the wall, several familiar figures came into view.
It’s Aya and her party.
Six teenagers are being attacked by a group of stone lizards.
This underground creature has tight skin and flesh, as if it were covered with a layer of stone armor, and its defense power is astonishing.
The attack power of its claws and tongue is not bad either.
After persisting for a while, their situation became precarious.
“Be careful!”
Aya yelled and pushed her friend aside, but she was knocked to the ground by a stone lizard.
Suffer!
Her heart was beating wildly, and she struggled to get up, and saw that the stone lizard had opened its mouth and its tongue was trembling slightly.
The lizard's tongue is covered with spikes, and the ejection speed is amazing. If it touches it, at least a piece of meat will fall off.
Hitting a vital point is more likely to kill you on the spot.
At this moment.
"Boom!"
A ball of flame exploded among the lizards, and the huge shock wave directly knocked the stone lizards to the ground.
Karl appeared nearby, raised his left hand, and pressed it repeatedly.
Fire Seal!
Fire Seal!
Fire Seal!
He took the potion in advance and had enough 'magic power' in a short period of time, so he could cast spells unscrupulously.
A ball of fireballs the size of a washbasin roared out, hit the stone lizard, and exploded after hitting the target.
Even if it misses, it will cause a huge shock if it lands on the field.
A moment later.
Karl stopped what he was doing and looked at the mutilated corpses on the ground, his face turned pale.
It’s not fear, but a reaction that consumes too much mental energy.
‘It seems that even if you take the potion, continuous casting will be very stressful and the effect of the potion will be shortened. ’
Sibel said that a bottle of medicine can work for half an hour.
But if you continue to cast spells...
A few minutes is enough!
However, after building the spell model, the power of the fire seal has increased a lot compared to before. The fireball used to be no bigger than a human head, but now it is the size of a washbasin. A wave of fierce attacks directly wiped out the stone lizards.
“Uncle!”
Escaped from death, Aya ran over with a look of ecstasy:
“Thankfully you helped in time, otherwise we would have been dead.”
"What's going on?" Karl steadied his breathing and scanned the whole place:
"Why are there so many monsters appearing on the surface? In this case, there is no need for you to come out."
>"Alas!" Aya sighed:
"The situation underground is worse, and we made an appointment to meet here, wouldn't it be a breach of promise if we don't come?"
Karl shook his head.
At this time, there is no need to worry about credibility.
"As for the situation in the city..." Aya looked back and said:
"I heard that the Yin energy in Pit No. 2 broke out, and at least thousands of people became half-dead. I don’t know why the underground monsters are running away.”
“The specific situation is not clear yet.”
“Go back to Laqa Market first.”
"It should be safer over there."
If the Raqqa market where the city guard is stationed is not safe, then there will be no safe place in the entire Black City. "Yeah."
Aya nodded heavily.
With Karl, the ‘big master’, joining the team, the group’s journey to Raqqa Market was almost without incident.
The market was crowded and noisy. Most of the people looked panicked and confused about the future.
“Dana.”
Aya said to a girl:
“Go and inquire about the situation.”
“Yes.”
Dana is a girl with rough features.
She has thick limbs and a loud voice. Although she is a woman, her strength is second only to Xiaonan in the team.
Carl looked at Xiaonan in the crowd:
"How is Xiaonan?"
"I'm okay." Xiaonan was seriously injured before, and his face was pale and needed help. Walking forward, he grinned and said:
"I feel like I can't die for the time being."
"Yin energy invades the body." Aya looked distressed:
"Wisteria grass can be used to cure it. At this time, I don't know if the city guard can still Is there any?”
“Too many people have had Yin Qi enter their bodies in the past two days, and the purple wisteria grass is consumed rapidly. The price of wisteria grass in the market has reached sky-high prices.”
Karl squatted down to check. After looking at Xiaonan's injury, her brows furrowed slightly.
The so-called Yin Qi enters the body, one is being in a place with strong Yin Qi for a long time, and the other is being attacked by half-dead creatures.
Xiao Nan belongs to the latter.
Something left four deep claw marks on his back, and the skin around the claw marks had rotted away.
If he cannot be treated in time, the yin energy will invade the bone marrow and nerves, and Xiaonan will transform into a half-dead person.
Wisteria grass is also called Yang-returning grass, which is specially designed to control Yin energy. However, due to the extremely harsh growth environment, the output is limited and the price is not cheap.
"Sister!"
Dana came back very quickly, panting:
"Some people said that a ruin appeared under Pit No. 2, and the city lord personally led people there. "
"In addition..."
"The people from the city guard just put up a sign in the center of the market, saying what the reward was. I don't know how to read, so I don't know."
"Remuneration?" Aya looked confused.
"I'll go take a look." Karl stood up:
"You guys wait for me here."
The crowd in the market was restless and they were all squeezing in. It should be the same. Got the message.
Not far ahead, a huge wooden sign with a height of two stories came into view. It was filled with huge words that could be read clearly from a distance.
Get it from the words of everyone.
In response to the Yin Qi outbreak in Pit No. 2, the city guard called on the people of the city to take action to eliminate the source of the unrest.
That is, various ferocious beasts and half-dead creatures.
In return, the city guards offered various treasured materials in exchange. The more aliens they killed, the better things they could exchange.
On the wooden sign is the price of the exchange item.
At the top of the list is leaving the Black City, which requires one hundred alien signs, which means killing one hundred aliens.
And this,
is not the one with the most requirements.
In addition to leaving the Black City, killing aliens can also be exchanged for seals, breathing methods, alien meat, life potions, etc...
The reason why leaving the Black City is ranked first is probably It’s because it attracts the most attention.
Like a Dharma seal.
Different seals correspond to different exchange prices, but even the cheapest seal is more expensive than leaving the Black City.
Huh?
Karl's heart moved, and his eyes fell back on the wooden sign.
There seemed to be something that just passed by...
Potion of life!
The life potion that can help the knight's attendants condense the seeds of life and become an official knight is listed.
“Plop!”
“Plop! Plop!”
Karl’s heart was beating rapidly, and the blood in his body was boiling.
He was originally not interested in this, and had even planned to leave Black City as soon as possible and come back after this matter was over.
Now...
He is tempted!
