Chapter 510
Aino Continent, King’s City.
It was located in the central region of the boundless continent, occupying the most and best resources in the entire world.
In this world, there were dark grey clouds everywhere, never to see the sun again. Genesis Qi was thin and resources were scarce.
For example, in the west city of Western Garrison City, before the black tide erupted, it was also a land of rich resources. In the decades of battle, large amounts of ore veins had been mined, and resources were constantly being used up. Due to the lack of Genesis Qi and some special reasons, the new resources were growing less and less. Even the original ore veins had unknowingly withered.
The Central Capital, however, was different.
Even though they were similarly trapped in a corner, the resources of the capital, as well as other places in the world, were still much richer.
If someone stood on the outermost city wall of the capital and observed carefully, they would discover that even though the sky above the capital was similarly covered in gray clouds, compared to the outside world, it was much… much thinner.
A faint trace of green could be seen?
These were the words of Zaber. He did not know why he had such an illusion.
Standing on the roof of the most magnificent building in the western city of Western Garrison City, Tang Yu looked in the direction of the capital… Of course, he could not see anything.
He had some information about the capital in his hand, and most of them were provided by the city lord of Western Garrison City.
The central capital was the core of the world. Before the black tide broke out, it was said that the capital had more than 100 million people. The scale of the city was also very large, much larger than the provincial capital city. It was also divided into the inner city and the outer city.
As the center of the world, the capital had the most n.o.bles. In the inner city, it was said that with a brick thrown into the street, one of the ten people would be able to hit a n.o.ble. The remaining nine people were the followers of the n.o.bles.
Some of the more poor n.o.bles did not even have the qualifications to enter the inner city of the capital.
Mole Garcia’s family was the hereditary duke of the Kingdom of Aino. Even if the family foundation was in the west of the city, they once owned a large industry in the inner city of the capital. However, decades had pa.s.sed, and the west of the city had never been able to contact the capital. Especially as the war continued, the high-end forces fell, and the Ironblood Duke’s Mansion had even cut off the idea of contacting the capital. They could only rely on the grand array to defend the west of the city.
Now that they had the support of Tree Shade, they once again had the idea of going to the capital
Two possibilities, one is that the wilderness of the Aino Continent is extremely dangerous, especially in the central region of the continent.
“…”
Tang Yu thought to himself.
On Earth, aside from certain special regions, as long as they did not encounter any foreign races, the outside world would not pose much of a threat to the Transcendents. The Aino Continent was obviously more dangerous. Zaber and the others had rushed to the west of the city from the city of Gehrman City. During this period, they had encountered dozens of dangers. There were serious injuries and even the possibility of a Transcendent dying.
Just the Dark Tide alone was more ferocious than the Great Mana Tide on Earth. The number of high-level dark creatures that awakened was uncountable. Once the Transcendents were surrounded, they might die of exhaustion.
On the way, they had already encountered dark creatures that possessed extraordinary combat strength.
“Unlike Calamity Grade magic beasts, they are true Transcendents. They have a force field and their intelligence is not bad…”
Tang Yu could not tell if it was because of the difference between the Dark Tide and the Great Mana Tide.
There were also more ultimate places than Earth.
Especially some deathly silent places. They were like tumors rooted on the planet. They carried a strong aura of decay. Xie Yi had once tried to get close to them. As a result, his life force quickly faded away. According to Xie Yi’s deduction, once he fell into the core of the “dead zone”, even if he was a Second Stage Transcendent, he would die in a few seconds.
Meanwhile, the west of the city was located at the western border of the Kingdom of Inna. It was closer to the border of the Kingdom, and it was extremely far from the capital. There were indeed countless dangers along the way.
However, after all, Zaber, Xingyue, and the others had successfully rushed to the Western Garrison City. They didn’t even use a Return Scroll… The Duke’s Mansion should have some trump cards. It shouldn’t be that they couldn’t even get to the capital.
Tang Yu had to consider the second possibility. After all, the capital was in deep waters.
Of course, the conflict between the n.o.bles had nothing to do with him, and he was not here to help the city.
He planned to find out the truth about the Dark Tide. It was because the Dark Tide and the Mana Tide were too similar. In addition, after the trade with the city, the territory had become much more rich. As long as he digested all the knowledge and resources, his overall combat ability would rise to another level.
Especially those who had obtained blueprints from the Holy City. After gathering the materials, they could immediately make them through the workshop.
The “mysterious tree branch” that he had obtained from the City Lord Residence of Gehrman City also made him very concerned.
In this regard, the City Lord Residence’s reply was to speak to him from the side. However, through the conversation between the n.o.ble families in the Western Garrison City that had been secretly collected by the “s.p.a.ce”, Tang Yu understood that not only did the City Lord Residence have such a trump card, but even the few n.o.ble families in the inner city also had it. There were even some formations set up around the city walls.
All kinds of clues pointed to a treasure in the capital.
Under the circ.u.mstances where Mole and the others did not notice and were unwilling to reveal it, Tang Yu had grasped the key information. This was the advantage of having a platform.
Indeed, the Spiritual s.p.a.ce was not dangerous, but as long as the people of other factions were used to this extremely real s.p.a.ce, there was no way for them to hide any information.
The “personal s.p.a.ce” that Great Lord Tang had newly added was not just for the sake of earning Origin Crystals. Was he such a superficial person?
No… Yes!
In the personal s.p.a.ce, Hunters could completely relax, rest, and enjoy themselves. They could invite their good friends to their own s.p.a.ce as guests. As they chatted, they could reveal secrets without paying attention.
This was where his goal was.
…
The matters in the west city had come to an end.
While Tang Yu was thinking, Zaber and the others had already set off for the capital.
The target of the airs.h.i.+p was too obvious. Zaber and the others were riding a third generation Floating Chariot. Its speed was extremely fast, and it was comparable to a senior Transcendent in terms of speed. Most importantly, its concealment was extremely good, and it could even block off the aura of a Transcendent.
The people of the Duke’s Manor were very jealous of this kind of vehicle.
Therefore, for the sake of friends.h.i.+p between the two sides, Tree Shade sold a Floating Chariot to the West City Lord Residence at the price of two hundred thousand origin crystals.
At this moment,
Of the three Floating Chariots heading to the capital, one belonged to the city lord’s residence in the west of the city, and there were two Transcendents inside.
The other two, one carrying Zaber, Hui Ren, and the other one was Lorraine, and the wolf girl f.a.n.n.y… Originally, Zhu Shu Li had also been on the list of the first batch to head to the capital. After all, her illusion abilities were very useful most of the time, but she seems to be in a bad mood.
Boom!
Black tentacles tore through the earth like a large net, covering several Floating Chariots.
“Switchto manual control mode!”
“Energy Acc.u.mulation Cannon!”
“The old driver is starting to race!”
Each black tentacle was very thick and came out from the ground. Each blow was enough to destroy a mountain.
Even if a third generation Floating Chariot was. .h.i.t by the black tentacles, the defensive formation would likely be severely damaged.
At this time,
Among the countless black tentacles, three Floating Chariots were moving nimbly like swimming fish.
The one belonging to the Duke’s Mansion had a slightly stiff control and lacked a soul. However, it was a veteran Transcendent after all. Its reaction ability was very high, and it forcefully controlled the Floating Tank to pa.s.s through the gaps between the black tentacles.
“What kind of creature is this? Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any aura leaking out of us, right?”
Lorraine was controlling the steering wheel. Although it was a question, her tone was very excited.
After flying in the dark wilderness for more than a day, she was already about to suffocate. She was eager to fight this unknown creature.
“It should be a trigger ball.”
Zaber said in a low voice, “The trigger ball is a huge dark creature with extraordinary combat strength. It is very sensitive to all objects around it. We just flew over the trigger ball and made it suddenly attack.”
The life force of the trigger ball is extremely terrifying. Even if all of us attack it with all our strength, we might not be able to kill it… The most important thing is to quickly leave the range of the trigger ball.
“Yes!”
General Durut from the Duke’s Mansion also echoed, “The trigger ball is rooted in its own’ territory ‘. Its movement speed is slow. As long as we fly away from this area, we will be safe.”
As he spoke,
More and more black tentacles emerged from the ground.
The earth cracked and earth flew.
The next moment,
Boom!
The ground suddenly collapsed a thousand meters down, revealing a huge hole.
A meatball with countless densely packed tentacles on the ball. Every tentacle had a monster that was hundreds of meters long emerging from the ground.
With a speed that was not slow at all, its huge body floated forward, chasing after the fleeing prey.
The large black hand made of dozens of tentacles stretched forward and grabbed one of the floating tanks.
“How is this possible!” “Aren’t the tentacles usually rooted underground and rarely move? And where did the trigger get such speed from?”
General Durut was shocked. He controlled the floating tank to fly away, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
If not for this Divine Weapon level vehicle, he would have been dead by now.
However,
He saw that the giant meatball was flying at an extremely fast speed, and its new attack method was even more agile. If he made a mistake…
Whoos.h.!.+
…….
A dazzling beam of light burst forth from one side, piercing through the large black hand formed from dozens of tentacles. The large hand disintegrated into countless tentacles, but very quickly, a large black hand condensed and formed.
Before General Durut could react, he saw a floating war chariot head on. The dazzling radiance of the main cannon condensed, and circles of rune arrays appeared on the war chariot’s body.
His eyes widened, and he was dazed for a moment. He was almost hit by a tentacle.
General Durut admitted that he was inferior to this courage.
Lorraine did not have any courage. Her life creed was very simple. She suddenly ran away with a shot.
Back then, it was because she owed a huge debt and was unable to win against those debtors that she ended up in a foreign land out of helplessness.
In her eyes, the huge trigger ball belonged to the type that could be tough.
In any case, she had a Return Scroll in hand and could escape at any time with a plastered face. She could conveniently save the two of them and expand her connections. In the future, when she needed to borrow money, she would not be unable to find anyone.
“Get lost!”
Lorraine showed off her driving skills and quickly shuttled back and forth.
In the back seat, f.a.n.n.y’s two pointed ears twitched, her eyes focused, controlling many offensive weapons as she shot a light beam at the ball’s face.
On the other Floating Tank, Zaber held a mid-level detection crystal in his hand, his expression was grave.
About the touch, what he understood was similar to that of General Durut.
However, the crystal detected that the trigger ball was undoubtedly… evolving.
Humans became stronger through cultivation, but dark creatures did not seem to need to cultivate.
They only relied on evolution time and time again.
As for how to evolve and what the conditions were, Zaber did not know.
However, his mood only grew heavier.
A few minutes later,
The three Floating Chariots removed their tentacles, re-positioned the navigation system, and set off for King’s City.
After flying for more than two days, they encountered countless dangers along the way. They finally approached the capital of the Kingdom of Aino.
Near King’s City, the barren land was slightly better.
In front of him, he could see some spa.r.s.e trees, weeds, and brooks. A small river flowed by.
There were still some houses that had been abandoned for a long time. After several decades, he could no longer see what they used to look like.
“These are all villages around King’s City. King’s City is relatively safe before the black tide breaks out. There are very few thieves or beasts wreaking havoc, but now…”
Zaber shook his head.
Although there was some greenery on the ground, most of them were dark creatures that looked ferocious and wandered around.
The roars continued.
General Durut was surprised. His voice came from the communication device of the Floating Chariot. “Why are there so many dark creatures around the capital? It is too easy to trigger the Dark Tide!”
Although Western Garrison City didn’t explore much about the outside world, every once in a while, they would still organize an army to go out of the city to wipe out the dark creatures, not to mention some mining areas that were located outside the city.
Some free mercenaries also relied on the source crystals obtained from hunting dark creatures to survive.
There were definitely traces of human activity around the city.
However, there didn’t seem to be any in the capital region.
This is not awakening!
Zaber sighed softly.
“Because of the existence of the ‘Wall of Eternity’, the capital does not care about the impact of the black tide at all. At most, after the impact of the black tide, the soldiers guarding the city wall will temporarily walk out of the city wall to collect the materials of the dark creatures.”
“Some free mercenaries may have plans to leave the city. However, whether the gate of the ‘Wall of Eternity’ is opened or not is in the hands of the defending army. They do not intend to let the mercenaries enter and leave freely.”
“This ‘Wall of Eternity’…?” General Durut was even more puzzled.
Zaber slowly said, “In the former capital, there were two walls, inner city and outer wall. The inner city wall was 60 meters high, and the outer city wall was 100 meters high.” The ‘Wall of Eternity’ was built on the outermost city wall of the capital, and it was 135 meters high. “
It seemed that the size of the ‘Wall of Eternity’ was not much higher, but in fact, its defense ability was far beyond the outer city wall of the capital.
There was once an experiment. Even a Transcendent full force attack could not leave a mark on the ‘- Eternal Wall’. The walls were sealed in the air, and they also had the ability to counter and penetrate.
The most important thing was that the range of the “Wall of Eternity” was very vast. It had expanded the original capital by dozens of times. It was just like a small world inside. The n.o.bles were not lacking in resources, so they had no intention of exploring outside.
In fact, Zaber had not figured it out.
When the black tide erupted, the situation in the capital was not very good.
According to what he knew, many big shots had disappeared in the past ten years. He guessed that they had fallen.
However, in the twenty-eighth year of the Dark Tide, this “Wall of Eternity” was suddenly built. From then on, the capital had turned into a safe place.
The royal family also began to give up on the endless battles and turned to run the vast territory of the capital.
While thinking,
The majestic Wall of Eternity appeared in their eyes.
