Chapter 412 City
Chapter 412 City
Along the way, the group encountered more frenzied spirit beasts. As they continued to move eastward, these spirit beasts seemed to become more ferocious, and their attacks became more fierce each time.
However, for Bai Sinan's team, these spirit beasts alone are not enough to stop their progress.
"Brother, is the entire northwest region just a wasteland like this?" Bai Sinanyao asked, looking around. They had been traveling for five consecutive days, and everywhere they looked was still a wasteland.
Bai Qi shook his head slightly: "It is said that before the ancient battlefield spread here, this place was once a dense forest. But how could ordinary plants withstand such violent spiritual erosion."
"To be honest, we haven't encountered anything that we can't solve so far." Yan Jinan rested his head on his arms. "So what's so dangerous about this ancient battlefield?"
"I don't know. This is the first time for everyone to come into such a place. Apart from feeling that the violent spiritual energy in the air is a bit troublesome, there is nothing strange about it." Fang Jili pouted and couldn't help but be curious: "Big Brother, if we enter a real ancient battlefield, will the environment inside be as desolate as it is now?"
Bai Qi explained: "That's not the case. The environment inside the ancient battlefield is actually not much different from the outside world. It's just that the creatures that can survive in that environment are definitely not as simple as ordinary plants."
"Alas, when can we enter the real ancient battlefield? It's really too boring to keep going like this~"
"Bored? You go to kill a few crazy spirit beasts by yourself. I wonder if you are bored?" Bai Sinan couldn't help but give Yan Jinan a blank look.
"Hehe, just kidding."
Feng Wu suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Master, there seems to be a city ahead."
Upon hearing this, Bai Sinan looked up into the distance and, sure enough, the outline of a city was vaguely visible among the rolling red fog.
"Look! Is there a city over there?" Fang Jili pointed excitedly into the distance.
Ye Minglan was not happy at all, but felt an inexplicable uneasiness: "How could a city appear out of nowhere in such a desolate place?"
Bai Qi frowned, "Strange... Master never mentioned that there is a city here."
"Do you want to go around it?" An Liuyan asked cautiously.
Bai Sinan stared at the foggy city calmly, and after a moment he said calmly: "No, let's go in."
Although everyone had doubts, no one opposed Bai Sinan's proposal, and the group walked towards the city tacitly.
As the distance got closer, the full picture of the city wall gradually revealed itself in the red fog - mottled gray-black stone bricks were piled up into towering walls, the surface of which was covered with spider-web-like cracks, as if it would collapse at any time.
The city gates were two heavy black iron doors, rusty and blurred by the erosion of time. Strangely, faded talismans were densely pasted on the cracks of the doors, some of which were already broken and trembling slightly in the wind.
"This door..." Fang Jili reached out to touch it, but was stopped by Bai Qi.
"Don't move." Bai Qi looked solemn, "These talismans should be seals, and they are a very ancient restriction."
Gu Junhao walked around the city gate and said in a deep voice, "There is no mechanism, let alone a keyhole. If you want to get in, you can only break it open by force."
"I do know a little about talisman paper." Ye Minglan said, "If I see correctly, these talismans seem to be used to seal away evil spirits."
"Evil spirit?!" Yan Jinan's eyes widened: "Is this not the lair of some evil cultivator doing evil?"
"Are you stupid? What kind of evil cultivator would dare to cultivate in a place like this?" Cao Wenyu said with disdain, "Besides, this is a simulated secret realm, it's even more impossible for there to be evil cultivators."
At this time, Hua Lingyue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Maybe we can go in and take a look? After all, this is just a simulated secret realm. Even if there is any danger, there is still a chance of resurrection."
Bai Sinan stared straight at the spell on the talisman paper and nodded slightly, saying, "Lingyue is right. We entered the secret realm to face danger. Even if the evil spirit sealed in the city is really evil, even if we don't have time to escape, we won't suffer any substantial harm."
Bai Qi smiled and rubbed her head: "Okay, since my sister has decided, no matter what is inside, I will go in with you!"
"Yeah." Ye Minglan shook the folding fan in his hand and chuckled, "You are the captain, you have the final say."
