2491 The undercurrent surges (1)
Before entering the city, Tang Zhen and ER Gou had already disguised themselves to avoid being noticed as much as possible.
There were many hidden forces in the Heaven’s Wall city, so he had to be careful to avoid unnecessary trouble.
However, with Tang Zhen’s current ability, he could only put on a simple disguise and not be as flawless as he was in the past.
Although he couldn’t hide it from those who wanted to, if it was just a quick glance, no one would notice him.
It took them two hours to get down the mountain before they found the way into the city and continued on.
On the way, they met a few hunters who looked at Tang Zhen’s group with a somewhat unfriendly gaze. That was an expression that one would have after seeing prey.
Tang Zhen acted as if he didn’t see it and continued on his way. Er Gou, on the other hand, was a little nervous as he turned his head back to check from time to time.
“Your Excellency, look at Qianqian behind us.”
Tang Zhen stopped in his tracks and smiled at er Gou, I know. They want to Rob and kill. They’re waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Er Gou was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that he didn’t know how to reply. He had wanted to remind Tang Zhen just now, but he had already known about this matter.
“Then what should we do, Yingluo?”
Er Gou asked again. It was obvious that he was following Tang Zhen’s orders and not making decisions on his own.
“Strike first, gain the upper hand. Since they want to kill you and me, why don’t we kill them?
I’m going to give you a task now, and that is to go back and solve the hidden danger. If you can’t do it, then there’s no need for you to continue cultivating, and there’s no point in following me. ”
Er Gou was stunned. He looked at Tang Zhen in a daze and finally confirmed that he wasn’t joking.
“Alright!”
Out of Tang Zhen’s expectations, er Gou simply nodded his head and agreed. Then, he took his knife and left.
Tang Zhen faintly smiled when he saw this. However, he did not follow them. This was because he knew that er Gou would definitely not encounter any danger.
As for the reason …
Tang Zhen fiddled with a wooden cylinder as thick as a finger. Previously, this place contained an extremely volatile paralyzing poison. When using it, one only needed to scatter it on the ground and it would allow the pursuer to inhale it without any warning.
After that, their reactions would be slow and their consciousness would be blurry. In serious cases, they would even be at the mercy of others.
……
After he got on the road, Tang Zhen realized that there were many pedestrians on the road, and they were all heading to the Heaven’s Wall city.
Buttface asked around curiously and got a piece of shocking news. For some reason, there were traces of demons and ghosts in many places nearby.
These demons and ghosts wreaked havoc everywhere, causing people to live in misery. Many people were harmed because of this.
It didn’t take long for these monsters to suddenly disappear, as if they had never appeared.
Later on, people discovered that the monsters had already settled in a fixed location and would not leave easily.
Although the danger had been greatly reduced, it still brought a lot of inconvenience to the villagers, making some places forbidden.
People couldn’t stand such a life. They were afraid that monsters would appear at their doorstep one day and harm their lives and their family’s.
So after these villagers discussed, they sent people to the Heaven’s Wall city one after another. They either spent money to buy items to exorcise evil or spent money to hire adventurers to kill demons and devils.
In addition, there were some villagers who felt that their homes were no longer safe, so they decided to move to the Heaven’s Wall city. This way, they would feel more secure.
They dragged their families along and slowly advanced on the long road. It seemed to be quite difficult.
Tang Zhen listened to the conversation between er Gou and the passerby. He was very clear in his heart that the appearance of these monsters was definitely related to the cultivators in loucheng.
If there were no monsters, how could the cultivators in loucheng compete to level up?
This was just the beginning. The situation in the future would be even more brutal, and the monsters would be even more ferocious.
To the natives, this was a world-ending catastrophe!
In fact, they were just like monsters. Although they had flesh and blood, they were essentially just tools to be used.
They had been kept in captivity for thousands of years just to test the strength of the cultivators in Lou city one day.
It sounded cruel, but for the cultivators of loucheng, this was a common thing.
In the eyes of some cultivators in the city, they didn’t even care about these mortals, as if they were ants.
Lou Cheng’s cultivators were valiant and loyal. They were willing to sacrifice everything for their comrades, but it didn’t mean that they would do the same for others.
Kindness was rare among the cultivators in loucheng. They were always more rational in dealing with things that made people feel compassionate.
After walking for a short while, a group of people came from the opposite side. There were more than 30 people in the standard adventurer attire.
They were fully armed and were pulling horned beasts filled with supplies, as if they were going on a long journey.
Tang Zhen observed for a while and found that there were a few adventurers whose strength was higher than his. Among them, there were a few adventurers who were suspected to be cultivators from Lou Cheng.
When Tang Zhen was observing them, the other party had also cast his gaze over. One could see that his perception was quite sharp.
Although they both recognized each other, they didn’t make any unnecessary movements and just brushed past each other.
The situation was special now. If it did not involve his own interests, it was naturally better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The distance between the two parties grew further and further. Tang Zhen was pondering about the other party’s plan. Clearly, they were looking for monsters in the wilderness.
When there were not many monsters, this method of increasing strength was not a bad idea.
However, this was only the initial response. As their level increased, the rare monsters would not be able to meet the needs of the cultivators in the building.
Tang Zhen believed that after reaching a certain stage, there would definitely be new situations. At that time, even more monsters would definitely appear.
What he needed to do now was to accumulate as much strength as possible and rise up when the next opportunity came.
Tang Zhen wasn’t interested in the cultivator who left. What he was most curious about now was the intention of the cultivator who entered the Heaven’s Wall city.
Was he collecting information like him, or did he have a special purpose?
Before they knew it, the two of them had already arrived at the entrance of the Heaven’s Wall city. From here, they could see the two Guardian statues, and the visual impact was even stronger.
Especially the eyes of the two Guardian statues, they seemed to come to life, staring at the passing crowd, as if they were examining them.
If it was someone with evil intentions, it was likely that they would not be able to withstand this intimidating gaze and would reveal their flaws in front of the guards of the Heaven’s Wall city.
With just a glance, Tang Zhen knew that this pressure came from the “malice detection” formation on The Guardian statue. It was able to detect mental energy and heartbeat. The more flustered one was, the more attention they would attract.
If they really had ill intentions, they would definitely reveal themselves under the strong mental pressure.
“Let’s go. There’s no need to worry about other things.”
Looking at the cowering er Gou, Tang Zhen suddenly stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, waking him up from the mental pressure.
Buttface woke up with a start. After letting out a long breath, he realized that he was covered in cold sweat.
“What the hell is this place?”
Er Gou muttered in a low voice. He sneaked a glance at the soldiers standing at the side and hurriedly followed behind Tang Zhen.
Under the watchful eyes of a group of soldiers, they crossed the building that looked like a bridgehead and stepped onto a stone bridge that was thousands of meters tall.
In fact, only after getting close would one discover that the Heaven’s Wall city was actually surrounded by a huge Lake, including the two mountains beside it.
The lake water was as green as Jade, and fish swam in schools. Dozens of boats of various sizes were slowly floating on the surface of the lake.
The landscape was like a painting, simply too beautiful to take in.
He didn’t know who built the Heaven’s Wall city, but one thing was for sure: this city could be called a miracle.
Unfortunately, it would not be long before the beautiful scenery would no longer exist. Perhaps this clear green Lake would be dyed red by blood.
This thought flashed through his mind and was soon thrown out of his mind.
Having personally experienced the destruction of countless planes, how could Tang Zhen place such a matter in his heart? to him, all of this was merely a fleeting cloud.
Moreover, this world was very special in itself. The life and death of trillions of living beings could actually be decided by a single thought of some existence.
Under the gaze of the two super statues, Tang Zhen and ER Gou strode forward and finally entered a huge city gate that was covered with cylindrical embossed sculptures.
