This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 673 Exploring Huai City
The architectural style of Huai City is very similar to the Song Dynasty in Zhou Li’s impression. It can be seen from the ruins that Huai City is more prosperous than Tianshui’s literary style, and its aesthetics are different from Tianshui’s majestic and luxurious. The buildings are more delicate, delicate and beautiful. decorate.

The buildings in Tianshui have mostly plain walls, and the surface of the buildings is generally the color of the walls themselves.Stone bricks are covered with a layer of white ash, and wood is filled with sawdust.However, Huaicheng is different. It may be due to the proximity of the lacquer forest. The surfaces of the buildings in Huaicheng are painted with thick paint. style.

"This is the "multicolored decoration" drawn by the masters of Wangcheng Temple in the past. On the side are the "Jade Rolling Decoration" and "Green and Halo Ribbon Decoration" mainly in green. These were once famous scenery in Huaicheng."

Walking out of the collapsed mansion, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenes around, Jiang Qi's eyes flashed with sadness and nostalgia, "The city of Huai back then was full of scholars of humanities, many times, in the poetry street not far away There will be debates by scholars on poetry, and with luck, poets who wrote poems will also watch from the audience. It’s a pity, all of them are gone.”

It is close to the Huai River and has beautiful scenery. These two alone are enough to make Huai City a must-visit place for those literati.Coupled with the prosperity of the human family back then, Huai City was in full bloom like a gorgeous and bright peony.But in that catastrophe, beauty was just a glass that looked a bit unique after being broken.

After confirming that there were no entropy spirits around, everyone started to move towards the most central city lord's mansion.According to Jiang Qi, the last confrontation they had with Entropy was in that mansion, because there was a huge stone there that could absorb Entropy's energy.It's a pity that there is only one boulder and it is buried deep in the foundation of the mansion and cannot be pulled out. Otherwise, the war against the entropy spirit would not have been so strenuous.

Pass through a small house, which used to be the area where the coolies lived.Although the human family is prosperous and prosperous, in a sense everyone can have enough to eat, but for most people, they will have other thoughts after eating.For example, sending their children to Wuxueguan Middle School to learn how to become generals, or to study and become an official, is because they want their children to have a better path to choose.Therefore, these people would often go to a big city like Huaicheng to do some coolies, earning a sum of money for the children in the village.

After passing through this civilian area that belonged exclusively to Huai City, Zhou Li and his party came to an empty field.According to the wooden sign not far away, Zhou Li learned that this used to be a martial arts arena in Huaicheng, and later it was changed to a dance hall because there was no war for a long time, for those theater troupes and restaurants to show some finale performances.According to Jiang Qi, the court master once came here to listen to an opera, but he can’t remember the name clearly. He only remembered that the court master cried for a long time after that opera, and beat Jiang Qi and threatened him not to say anything. to outsiders.

Jiang Qi felt that Zhou Li was no outsider.

The dilapidated walls, the dim red-painted chairs, the half-swallowed stage, the messy costumes, and the swords and guns that hadn't been fired.Zhou Li and the others walked in the middle of the ruins. On the left and right were two collapsed red brick walls and a screen that had lost its former color.

Huaicheng is like a dead city, it has all the characteristics of a city, but it has lost its life.Zhou Li and his party walked among the corpses of the city, stepping on a broken heart, and slowly walked towards the center.

Zhouli and his party did not encounter any obstacles along the way, which surprised everyone.Of course, Jiang Qi also has an explanation. As a unique existence, entropy spirits do not need resources and do not need to live. Therefore, Huaicheng, which is of great value and significance in the eyes of human beings, is just an empty shell without food in their eyes. That's all.They will leave entropy spirits, which is just a habit similar to territorial protection, so they often don't leave too many entropy spirits.

Soon, a magnificent dilapidated building appeared in everyone's eyes.He is said to be magnificent because it is a giant seven-story tower, with red, ice and blue interlaced, and a golden ball on the top of the tower.It is said to be dilapidated because the high tower has collapsed, and only the continuous broken bricks and blood-red mottled show how magnificent the building was once.

"That's the city lord's mansion."

Looking at the broken golden ball on the top of the tower, Jiang Qi's face flashed with heartache, but he quickly adjusted it back.He pursed his lips, and said with a little unwillingness: "We once repelled those entropy spirits, but at the last moment, we were still defeated. We didn't defend the city lord's mansion, so we lost that boulder. In the end, Lost Huai City."

Zhou Li and the others knew that Jiang Qi was a native of Huaicheng, or that the entire Tianshui was entrusted to his future self by Huaicheng.Back then Huai City was attacked by Entropy Spirit, causing heavy casualties. Some Huai City people who ran in time fled the city under the cover of those almost crazy soldiers, and finally established Tianshui together.Therefore, for Jiang Qi, Huai City is not only a city, an ancient battlefield, but also his hometown that he did not protect well.

Therefore, he not only misses, but also feels guilty.

"Let's go."

Before approaching the mansion, Zhou Li felt a strange aura.He knew that the entropy spirit he wanted to find existed in that abandoned tower.

No nonsense and no pre-war mobilization.Atalona subconsciously attached a layer of life energy to everyone, and everyone took out their weapons.After obtaining Zhou Li's permission, Torreya pulled down her black hood, and with the emergence of silver-blue lines, Torreya's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Let's go."

Zhou Li looked at Jiang Qi and said, "Don't worry, Torreya's lurking ability and observation ability are top-notch, better than us."

"I see."

Jiang Qi put away the astonishment in his heart, he did not expect that a girl with a spear would be a character similar to scouting and infiltrating.After all, as the king of weapons, the gun has always been the vanguard of destroying the enemy in people's eyes.Of course, Jiang Qi didn't have any other thoughts, he just sighed with emotion.

After letting Torreya out to investigate the circle, Zhou Li didn't stay idle. He first released the power of catastrophe and natural disaster, and then put the purple light and Elma's black mist knight Xiaobai on standby at any time.Since the last time he and Elma gathered together to rescue Su Yuli, Zhou Li had learned the power of combining disasters and black mist with this trick.

Jiang Qi could tell that the most confident person here was Atalona.After all, she is a god, and she is also the god with the highest combat ability in the twelve quarters.The main reason is that she is not in the right mind.

There's no being too careful, and there's no standard lurking tactic.Zhou Li and his party just swaggered towards the ruins of the tower.In this team, except for the incompetent Li Chong and the weak Taoyao, anyone who came out alone beat the demigod-level professionals casually.Not to mention some mad goddess.Therefore, Zhou Li and the others were not too cautious, but chose to go directly to A.

Arriving in front of the half-slanted gate, Zhou Li's mind moved, and Xiao Bai, who was like a stand-in messenger behind Elma, suddenly got excited, grabbed the purple light behind Zhou Li, squeezed it casually, and flashed it. The long sword of purple lightning appeared in the hands of the black mist knight.Accompanied by the smooth sound of cutting tofu, the thick stone gate was split into two, revealing the inside of the tower.

There were no flying flesh and blood, and no fallen skeletons.From the very beginning of entering the city, Elma and Zhou Li noticed the biggest doubt in the city, which was that the city was too clean.

yes, clean.It should be noted that cleanliness does not mean completeness, so broken stone walls and collapsed buildings are not considered dirty. What Zhou Li and Elma are talking about are the flying flesh and corpses.After all, Jiang Qi, Li Chong, and Taoyao have all said that although the entropy spirit kills people, it will completely disintegrate people, but the blood spilled and severed organs and arms before the disintegration will not dissipate, and this city, there is no trace of it. Less than a little blood.

And after arriving at the place where the great war that Jiang Qi said took place, the situation became even more serious.As the main location of the battlefield, the hall of the City Lord's Mansion in Huai City was shockingly clean.Except for dust and broken stones, Zhou Li couldn't even see blood.You know, even in the cleanest Magnum Hall, there are dark brown blood stains on the steps in front of the emperor.

"This...isn't right..."

Soon, Jiang Qi realized that something was wrong, he stepped forward, frowned tightly, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that someone has been here before."

Upon hearing this, Taoyao thought about it and said, "Could someone have entered here before us?"

"The odds are very small."

After all, he is a generation of famous generals, Jiang Qi quickly reacted, "If someone comes in, the dust on the ground will not be so complete, even the most powerful stalker, can't make even a trace of dust..."

"I've seen it."

At this time, Torreya's voice came straight from the side, and Jiang Qi almost swept past her.Jiang Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Toreya standing in the corridor not far away.

"There are no corpses, no bloodstains, and no traces of anyone coming. I have searched all 79 rooms in the City Lord's Mansion, and there is no entropy spirit you mentioned."

After a brief pause, Toreya thought for a while and continued: "But I found a stone in a room in the southeast. The stone is too big to be dug out. According to my observation of the exterior of the house, there should be There is a small room, I would like to ask if it should be smashed directly by the stone."

"do not."

Jiang Qi on the side was shocked when he heard the words, and quickly said: "That stone is what we call a huge rock, also called a flying stone. This flying stone can absorb the power of the surrounding entropy spirits, and it is our magic weapon against the enemy. If We will be besieged by the entropy spirit for a while, and we can rely on it to get out of trouble."

Torreya didn't answer, but looked at Zhou Li and Atalona.After receiving affirmative nods from the two, Torea also nodded, and calmly said: "Okay, I will listen to you."

Li Chong on the side has already begun to study the traces left on the wall. Of course, he has not forgotten to follow in the footsteps of Zhou Li and others.After reading the writing on a stone wall, Li Chong seemed to have discovered something, but he didn't say anything.Of course, his reaction couldn't hide from Zhou Li and Atalona's eyes. They looked at each other intently and didn't say anything, but there was a strange tacit understanding.

"If the boulder is in that place..."

After a short period of contemplation, Jiang Qi said: "This tower must have shifted violently during the toppling process, so the flying stone fell into the southeast room that this lady mentioned. It should have been a coincidence room at that time." There was an entropy in it, so the boulder crushed the entropy in the room."

Obviously, what Jiang Qi said now is very likely to happen.And Zhou Li and the others were action factions. After confirming that they were going to the location of the boulder, Atalona stood in front of the crowd and began to move deeper.

Why Atalona you ask?

She has a big life and a cheap life, so she doesn't feel bad when she dies.

Under the cover of Atalona's human shield, Zhou Li and his party quickly passed through these more than 70 rooms, and came to the southeast room that Torreya mentioned.In fact, everyone knew after they came in that this was probably the closest place to where Entropy Ling was.After all, only in this room, there is an illusion that makes it difficult to breathe.

"Let me do it."

Zhou Li was also unambiguous, and Xiao Bai behind him immediately raised the purple thunderbolt in his hand, and smashed it hard on the soil around the boulder.

Yes, Zhou Li chose to smash the surroundings instead of boulders.In fact, the moment he saw the boulder called Feilaishi, he knew that this stone was probably useless.

The gemstone that suppressed the entropy was exactly the same as the Victorian transfiguration gemstone that Zhou Li wore around his neck.However, this gem has lost its luster.

Zhou Li noticed something when he saw this boulder, but the lingering strange feeling made him subconsciously ignore it.However, when Zhou Li felt the warmth of the gemstone on his chest, he remembered that he still had a gemstone from Victoria.

Of course, Zhou Li is not in the mood to do this right now.After he shattered the buildings near the boulder, a door around the stone appeared.This time Zhou Li did not let Torreya take the lead, but looked at Atalona expectantly.

"You won't let me drill holes?"

Atalona was stunned, and after getting Zhou Li's affirmative answer, this goddess who is so coquettish as long as you don't stop her from destroying human beings really went to drill the hole.Of course, the Goddess's hole is also elegant and tangible, instead of just rushing into it.

After bending down into the hollow, Atalona's voice came out.

"You...you better come and see."

At this moment, Atalona's tone was clearly filled with consternation. It was hard for Zhou Li to believe that something could shock a person like Atalona so much.Therefore, Zhou Li chose the second one to go down.

Then, he saw the vast underground world.
