Chapter 8 A century-old dead city
Just like a person who is about to drown sees someone on the shore extending his hand like a savior. No matter how long it takes from now on, he will always remember it.

Jing Chu had suffered enough from this method of giving a sweet date a slap in the face.

But this kind of trick is easy for ordinary people, but it is not so obvious when it is used on Shen Jingzhou.

Shen Jingzhou's always calm face showed a hint of impatience.

"Time is running out, let's hurry in." Jing Yue'er suggested.

Everyone nodded after hearing this. Zhu Leng looked at Shen Jingzhou and saw that he seemed to have no intention of stopping him, "Miss Jing, I think this city is really weird. It might be dangerous for us to enter the city rashly like this."

This is a kind reminder, but in the eyes of others, it turns out to be timid and fearful.

The corners of Jing Yue'er's mouth raised but her smile did not reach her eyes. She sneered, "Young master, you are worrying too much. Speaking of dangers, we have encountered so many dangers along the way. In the end, not all dangers were saved, and they were all at the last moment. Is it possible that we... Are you giving up? Besides, if it’s really dangerous, don’t we still have the jade token?”

Jing Yue'er relied on her own prophet to avoid dangers in the secret realm. Now someone suddenly told her that there was danger ahead, so naturally she wouldn't care.

"Yeah, we've come this far, no matter whether it's dangerous or not."

Hearing this, everyone also agreed, then opened the door and filed in.

Seeing this, Zhu Leng helplessly spread his hands and looked at Jing Chu, "What should I do now?"

The fog in the city was so thick that water could condense. If there was anything in the fog, they couldn't see clearly.

Jing Chu looked around, his brows furrowed to the point of watering his eyes.

In the past, she often entered secret realms in order to collect herbs, and also visited the Demon City once or twice. Although this place was still the same as in her memory, she always felt that it was weird.

"Danger." Shen Jingzhou said two words coldly while holding the sword.

Jing Chu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. Shen Jingzhou was already in the Vajra realm. The higher the realm, the more sensitive he is to danger.

"Zhu Leng, try to see if you can get in touch with the outside world through the jade token."

Hearing this, Zhu Leng nodded and then took out the jade token.

Jing Chu walked to the rusty door, which was covered with thick dust. She touched it with her finger, then put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it.

She seemed to have thought of something after smelling the smell, and suddenly took a big step back to get a clear view of the city gate. There seemed to be traces of swords on the inside of the city wall.

Shen Jingzhou saw her movements and followed her gaze.

"I always thought that the marks on the city gate were caused by disrepair." Jing Chu looked at Shen Jingzhou in shock.

Shen Jingzhou's eyes passed over the door one by one, "It's blood."

Jing Chu looked at Zhu Leng and noticed his gaze. He sighed and then shook his head.

Outside the secret realm, Tang Xuan realized something was wrong immediately, but the incident happened suddenly and he didn't even have time to inform the people inside.

At this time, Shui Jing seemed to be disturbed by something, and it was no longer possible to know what was going on in the secret realm.

Tang Xuan asked Wenren to inform the elders immediately, and the elders who were in the palace also learned the news.

Jing Chu and others were unsure of the situation in the city and did not dare to act rashly. Jing Yuer and others lost contact after entering.

Shen Jingzhou paused when his eyes glanced at the plaque, then drew out his sword and struck it with a sword. The lime on the plaque fell off, revealing its true appearance.

羌城
Seeing this, Zhu Leng and Shen Jingzhou's pupils trembled slightly, and expressions of astonishment appeared on their faces.

"Where is Qiang City?" Jing Chu had no memory of this place.

"Qiang City is the capital of Nanzhao. It was the first capital city to be destroyed by demons." Shen Jingzhou's tone was calm but her expression was vaguely sad.

A hundred years ago, the once prosperous and great country turned into the dilapidated and desolate appearance it has now.

Jing Chu was stunned and silent. No wonder she felt so depressed here. "But we are clearly in a secret realm, how could we suddenly appear in Qiang City? Nanzhao is thousands of miles away from Canglan." Zhu Leng was extremely shocked.

Suddenly, his brain exploded, and he expressed his suspicion nervously, "Are we still in the illusion?!"

Jing Chu shook his head and immediately denied his conjecture.

"No, I think someone set up some kind of magic circle on the road we must pass, and we were teleported here without anyone noticing."

"Then what's the purpose of doing this?"

This question stumped Jing Chu. She had no idea what interests were involved in this group of people, so it was difficult to guess his purpose. However, one thing she was sure of was that the people from the Xiaoyao Sect must have noticed that they had disappeared.

"Xiaoyao Sect should have noticed that we are missing. Maybe they will send someone to rescue us soon."

Suddenly, shrill screams came from the city.

Shen Jingzhou was the first to react, and he was grabbed as soon as he took a step. He gave him a cold look, and Jing Chu subconsciously let go of his hand.

She just saw that the fog in the city was getting thicker and thicker, and she was worried about getting lost after entering.

Jing Chu got a rope from somewhere and handed it to him, then gave the middle part to Zhu Leng and held the end himself.

The three of them looked in all directions and listened in all directions. Along the way, they only heard the rustling sounds coming from all around.

"Something is following us." Shen Jingzhou reminded.

"Watch out."

Zhu Leng swallowed nervously. After walking for a long time, the surrounding fog slowly dispersed, and the few people could finally see their surroundings clearly.

In response, Jing Chu breathed a sigh of relief. This feeling of not being able to see anything was really bad.

Suddenly, Jing Chu's feet seemed to be grabbed by something. She stopped and pulled the two people beside her.

"Something's got my foot."

Hearing this, Shen Jingzhou reacted quickly and grabbed Jing Chu's collar and jumped into the air. He also lifted up the things he was holding on to Jing Chu. Seeing this, Zhu Leng kicked sideways, and then heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

After the three of them landed, they looked around and found that they were the companions who entered the city with Jing Yue'er.

This man's meridians were severely severed, and one arm seemed to have been violently torn off by something. The arm was still bleeding, and he seemed to be dying.

Shen Jingzhou's quick eyesight and hands quickly sealed several of his acupuncture points before stopping the bleeding in his arms.

"What happened?" Shen Jingzhou asked in a deep voice.

Hearing the sound, the man stared with bloodshot eyes and grabbed Shen Jingzhou's sleeve, leaving a bloody handprint on it.

"Run!" After saying this, he died of anger.

The three of them looked at each other. At this moment, most of the fog had dissipated. There were many corpses scattered in this open space. At a rough look, they seemed to be those who had just entered the city.

At this time, the thing that had been following them secretly suddenly began to become restless, and the noise it made spread around.

Listening to the noise, Jing Chu felt something bad in his heart. Those things seemed to be outflanking them.

The three of them looked around and saw many beast-like figures lying on the roofs and under the eaves.

"Are these people?!" Zhu Leng was unsure.

These things look like humans, but they have mouths full of fangs, sharp nails, white pupils, and the skin on their bodies is rotten. They crawl on all fours like wild beasts, and their voices sound like wild beasts roaring. These things can no longer be called human beings.
