Chapter 148: First entry, the city of killing (1st update)
Huo Yuhao walked all the way along the dark red passage. With his keen mental power, he noticed that the passage seemed to be a gentle slope going down in a circle. He was now zigzagging down the rock wall.
In this way, the capital of killing is actually underneath this stone-walled valley.
Huo Yuhao walked straight along the path, encountering nothing along the way until a light door appeared in front of him and connected to the rock tunnel.
Is that the exit?
Huo Yuhao was a little alert and walked towards the light door, his back was enveloped and engulfed by the bright light——
When his vision returned to light sensitivity, what came into view was a giant snake skeleton frame.
Huo Yuhao looked around and saw that the entire world was dark in color, the land where he landed was filled with yellow sand, and on the distant horizon stood an ancient city made of huge stones.
The sky above the city was dark red, like blood covered by darkness, and a light purple slanting moon hung high in the sky, exuding a cold and somewhat evil light.
Dark red sky, purple moon
Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows slightly.
He immediately summoned the spirit eye martial soul to possess him, and then five gray-white soul rings appeared under his feet, dim and dull.
Huo Yuhao tried to activate it, but found that he couldn't use the soul ring skill.
This is rather like a large-scale soul ring blocking the field.
He looked up at the purple moon hanging slanting in the sky.
It seems that most of the soul ring restrictions come from it?
Since the soul ring is limited, then the soul bone skill...
Huo Yuhao immediately took the initiative to trigger the inherent soul skill given by the Fire Dragon King's torso bone: Dragon Transformation
The next moment, the body bones in his body rapidly expanded, fitting into each other, sealing the gaps, and expanded within his body to form a layer of solid keel armor, covering his whole body.
At the same time, he could also feel the presence of the soul bones and golden ghost butterfly wings attached to his back.
In addition, the head soul bone given by the Ice Dragon King maintains a calm mind.
He raised his right hand, and sharp tiger claws popped out of his palm.
Huo Yuhao immediately triggered the right arm soul bone skill - Nether Stealth given by the Netherworld White Tiger.
His body immediately turned into nothingness and disappeared into thin air.
In the invisible state, Huo Yuhao raised his head and looked into the distance, walking straight towards the high stone city ahead.
The four characters "City of Killing" hung above the city. At this time, the gate below was open, with black-armored guards standing on both sides.
Those people wore thick black armor, heavy metal helmets, and held sharp spears. They were full of evil spirits.
The entire team was led by a knight riding a ghost horse. His blue cloak was old and dark yellow. He was holding a spear and was wrapped in a bandage. He had a ghostly look on his face, and his true appearance could not be seen clearly.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw this battle.
What the hell is this place?
As he walked towards the gate of the Killing City, the undead war horse suddenly knelt down and directly threw the knight commander off the horse.
The knight commander with a blue cloak and a ghost face immediately whipped the bone horse, but the other party did not dare to get up no matter what, and was even trembling and fearful.
The blue-cloaked knight commander seemed to realize something and immediately looked back at the city gate.
"If you dare to enter the killing city without permission, you will be killed without mercy!"
Huo Yuhao, who was in the invisible state, turned sideways and looked back at the other party, but he did not touch the invisible state.
When the knight commander finished shouting these words, the cold wind blew by, and there was nothing there. The atmosphere in the place was a bit strange.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao turned around and entered the killing city.
When he stepped into the city gate, none of the guards reacted.
This made Huo Yuhao have a thought in his mind.
Can you rely on the invisible soul bone skill to escape from the killing city?
As soon as he stepped into the city, he saw a pale-faced girl in a black dress standing at the city gate. The black dress was traditional, dignified and elegant, with long black and silky hair hanging down behind her shoulders. Her hands were folded in front of her abdomen, as if Waiting for someone.
"My lord, welcome to the city of killing." The girl in black skirt bowed and said.
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment.
Has his Nether Stealth Soul Skill been seen through? How can this be?
If the previous knight commander was deceiving him, it would be understandable, but what about this guy?
Seemingly seeing no movement, the girl in black skirt continued to speak.
"I am the Messenger of Killing. Under the guidance of my Lord, I came here to open the door to welcome you."
When Huo Yuhao heard this, he immediately understood something.
It seems that the moment he entered the territory of the Killing City, his whereabouts were already exposed.
He immediately released the invisibility state of Nether Stealth.
"How did you know I entered the city?"
"Sir, you don't have the access token yet." The girl in the black dress explained.
Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Token?
So, there is some kind of induction formation in this city, and people without tokens will react if they enter.
Soon, the knight in blue cloak who was originally stationed outside the city gate returned to the city with the guards in black armor.
After seeing Huo Yuhao, the undead war horse knelt down again and refused to get up no matter how hard he was beaten.
The blue-cloak knight commander locked his eyes on Huo Yuhao with some anger.
"Captain Seventh, please give this adult an identity token." The cold voice of the girl in black attire sounded.
Although the blue cloak knight commander was unhappy, he still offered it with both hands and handed Huo Yuhao a dark hexagonal token.
Huo Yuhao took it casually and saw 9126 engraved on the front and a skull pattern on the back.
"Don't you need to defeat him?" Huo Yuhao asked the girl in black skirt.
"You have proven your strength." The girl in black dress said.
Does stealth smuggling count? Or……
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly.
"My lord, please." The girl in black skirt raised her hand to signal.
Huo Yuhao walked towards the center of the city.
……
On the stone street.
Huo Yuhao walked side by side with the girl in black skirt on the street.
"I am the Killing Envoy, codename: Black Lotus. In the next two days, I will be responsible for answering your questions and helping you integrate the Killing City as soon as possible." The girl in black dress said.
Huo Yuhao responded and looked around the surroundings.
The buildings in these urban areas are basically dilapidated stone houses, and there are open-air food supply areas next to them. Those who queue up are basically sallow and thin, and lack of energy and blood.
He took a look and saw that the food those people received was basically coarse grains such as black bread, which was probably enough to prevent them from starving to death.
Those people stared directly at Huo Yuhao, as if they were seeing a little white rabbit in a jackal's den.
Is this what is called "free food"?
Seemingly noticing Huo Yuhao's gaze, the girl in black skirt explained.
"These are only the outer areas. Those are cowardly losers. They dare not go to the killing fields of the inner city to fight. They can only survive in the outer city area by relying on voluntary contributions every year."
"The outer city area is protected. No killing is allowed at will. Wrongful killing in self-defense does not count."
"There are no such restrictions in the inner city. It is a real paradise of sin. You can do whatever you want without any rules. Of course, all this requires strong strength." The girl in black gauze introduced coldly.
