Chapter 89 The Lost World
The blood moon hangs high in the sky.
The mottled buildings that have been eroded by wind and rain for many years are crowded on both sides of the street. Buildings with only empty shells are everywhere like wreckage. There are also towering towers mixed in between, with iron covered with outer layers and artillery on the top.
There is no light, no sound, and there is no lively that should have belonged to the human settlement area.
I don’t know whether it’s a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, but this city has been abandoned for too long. Darkness and silence fill every corner of the place.
In the hazy gray fog, a series of footsteps suddenly rang out. Gorman, wearing a gray-black hunting windbreaker, carried a giant sickle, stepped on broken bricks mixed with black brown soil in the gap, and walked in the middle of the street, his eyes wandering between the surrounding scenery, and finally stayed on a lamppost on the street.
There were three scratches there, which he carved not long ago to prevent himself from getting lost!
The ubiquitous grey fog in the city, coupled with the extremely unfamiliar street environment to Gorman, inevitably had a great impact on his actions.
The problems he faces are far more than that. In fact, since he entered the city a few hours ago, he vaguely felt that this was not his destination or just the periphery of his destination. He was still separated from the place he really wanted to go to, which was an inexplorable boundary.
"They entered the lost world through communication with their own bloodlines, eager to find the bones hidden somewhere or just a residual consciousness. Everything is so broken but implies a certain rule... Father, I have entered here, but where is the scene described in your notes?"
Rubbing the traces on the lamppost, Gorman murmured with his eyes half-squinted, recalling the last battle with the old priest in the cathedral and the content recorded in the notes that were regarded as "trophy".
Yes, that was what the old priest left to Gorman.
As he said, he wanted to lead Gorman to the right path, even if the price was his own life!
Ta~ Ta~
The sound of stones rolling in the darkness ahead came. Gorman frowned and clenched the giant sickle in his hand vigilantly.
"Gorman, is that you?"
A slightly familiar voice sounded in the direction of footsteps. When he saw two figures rushing out of the gray fog, Gorman subconsciously widened his eyes.
It is Lu Jing and Xu Zhuo!
"How could you show up here... Have you met Kim Ki-dong?"
This is the only possibility that Gorman could think of to have the two appear here.
"Of course, if it weren't for him, Xu Zhuo and I wouldn't have come to this world, but we couldn't stay for too long. Fortunately, we found you without spending too much time."
While talking, Lu Jing couldn't help but look at the surrounding environment. From the moment he just arrived in this world to the present, he and Xu Zhuo had probably run two blocks, and he also saw a lot of things through the moonlight.
"This is not like a city within the Shuoming Dynasty. It is far from Anling Island. I have seen many mechanical buildings along the way, even high-end cars, but the surrounding buildings seem to have hundreds or thousands of years... The lost world is indeed extraordinary."
"This world should only be accessible to people whose bloodline can echo it. How did Jin Qidong let you in?"
When the three of them got together, Gorman couldn't help but ask.
You should know that he spent a lot of energy to enter this world, and even did not hesitate to make quite risky actions.
"Because you didn't find a real channel at all, consciousness is just wandering in the shallow world, and Jin Qidong has a potion that can make people come temporarily... Now is not the time to say this, he has been paying attention to the changes in your consciousness outside. Your current state is equivalent to descending to the real world in the posture of a spirit, and the place you are really going is actually hidden in this city."
Lu Jing and Xu Zhuo both decided to come in and help in a hurry, so naturally they didn't have so much time to listen to Jin Qidong explain the whole story. To some extent, they actually act as tool people.
"Activate the blood in your body and repeat your previous actions in this world. This is the advice that Jin Qidong gave you. The purpose of our coming in is to convey this information to you and then help you in."
"you......"
Gorman looked at the two people who had already begun to fade when they first met, and wanted to speak but stopped.
He knew that entering this lost world would bring great pressure to his personal spirit, and a little carelessness would cause mental damage!
"Although I don't know your situation, I know what you want to do should be a good thing, that's enough. I'm going to exchange for a fairly wonderful trip with ten golden leaves. I still feel like I've made a profit. That's it. Let's talk about other things after finishing these things."
He raised his hand and patted Gorman on the shoulder. While speaking, he signaled Xu Zhuo to take two steps back with him and make way for him to get out of his position.
Lu Jing has never been a nosy person, but since the other party is his own reserve crew, that is another way of saying it.
As the captain, he would never sit idly by and watch his crew fall into danger.
This is the most basic responsibility of a captain!
Now is not the time to reminisce about the old conversation, Gorman also knew this. He looked at the two of them nodded heavily, then decisively sat down cross-legged, placed the giant sickle beside him, closed his eyes and began to try to enter the state.
Not long after, Lu Jing noticed that the blood vessels on Gorman's body gradually became prominent, and his whole body seemed to be in a special state, with a layer of colorful fluorescent light all over his body, as if he would disappear from the spot in the next second.
At the same time, Lu Jing keenly felt that the speed of the fog flowing around him was accelerating, as if he was responding to the situation here.
"Xu Zhuo, pay attention to the fog around you, if you hear any sound..."
Before Lu Jing finished speaking, a large number of bricks and stones suddenly sounded around the streets. His body subconsciously tensed, and he made a fighting posture to protect Goreman behind him.
I saw a large number of scarlet silk threads suddenly appeared in the gray fog. At first, they just drifted around. However, as time passed, Lu Jing began to see some blurry black shadows in the fog.
"Captain, behind the wall behind the left!"
Xu Zhuo's voice came, and Lu Jing immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of his finger.
I saw that behind the wall on one side of the street, a human-shaped monster made up of bricks and stones was shaking up under the traction of silk threads, and near it, more than a dozen bricks and stones were connected in the air by scarlet silk threads to form the body of another monster.
Lu Jing could not see anything that could be called facial features on a chunk of broken bricks that it might be called the head. There is no doubt that they are not life, but puppets controlled by these scarlet silk threads, but even so, the targets of these monsters are still extremely clear.
First, he smashed the wall in front of him with a punch, and then another silk thread surged out of his body, pulling these bricks and stones onto the stone monster to continuously strengthen its body. During this process, more stone monsters appeared in the surrounding buildings, and they were almost constantly approaching Gorman's location.
They, or those scarlet silk threads, do not allow Goreman to break the barrier!
"It seems that this is what Kim Ki-dong said of the risk."
Lu Jing looked at these monsters that were obviously beyond common sense, pondered, raised his hand and pointed his sword, intending to use the rapids to try the strength of these monsters first. However, not to mention the spiral water flow, even a drop of water did not appear. Lu Jing's face suddenly darkened and he said in a muffled voice,
"Oh no, this world is different from the dream we have experienced before... Trouble!"
