Pushing forward and being invincible: starting from adding points in the dream

Chapter 166: Holy City, Return

Boom! ! !
The last corpse fell to the ground, the snakes and pythons were in disarray, and all kinds of blood were splattered all over the ground.

Dead leaves, swamp water surface, and green trees.

Some timid fugitives turned pale. It was the first time they had seen such a scene and they could not help but run to a corner and vomit.

For a moment, all the horrified eyes were focused on the brown-clothed figure standing in the center, slowly retracting his fist.

Molly's face was shocked. The man with the spear and others beside her were relieved at first, but soon their faces changed, and expressions of fear and dread appeared one after another.

After all, they were almost ready to fight each other before.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, finally.

With a crack, the dry branches were broken.

Chen Feng turned and looked at everyone.

The moment their eyes met, Molly, the backbone of the fugitives, hesitated for a moment, but finally endured her injuries and took the initiative to move forward.

"Thank you for your help!"

Her tone was sincere and grateful, and she quickly bowed to express her gratitude.

As the only special person present who had awakened the seed of life, she knew very well how powerful the other party was.

The third level peak?

Maybe even level 4?
She was a little afraid to think about it.

As for the other party's youthful appearance and the reason why he approached her and others, Molly didn't think any more about it.

After awakening the seed of life, one will gain certain special features, especially high-level status.

Maintaining a youthful appearance is not a problem.

It is normal to have a weird temper and like to travel around disguised as an ordinary person.

Seeing this, Chen Feng remained calm, probably realizing that the other party had made up some information in his mind.

"Thank you for your help!"

"It was I, Wu Heng, who was blind before. Please forgive me!"

The man with the spear and the others gradually came to their senses, their faces flushed, and they bowed and thanked him with a guilty tone.

Without paying attention to their previous actions, Chen Feng simply walked to the body of the black-scaled snake man and picked up a piece of black gravel the size of half a fist.

His intuition told him that this was some kind of metal ore, and his steel bone talent was quickly activated.

【Metal Essence +1! 】

【Metal Essence +1! 】

After a few seconds, there was a click.

The black ore shattered into slag, looking as if it had been crushed by him.

[Cyberbone LV3: 25/100]

The panel prompt appears, adding 1 progress point.

I looked around, but unfortunately, there were no similar black minerals around.

"Are you looking for obsidian?"

Molly next to him moved her eyes slightly, and she probably understood what Chen Feng was thinking.

Without saying anything, Chen Feng looked at her.

"This ore is extremely rare, and the ore clusters are also very secretive, and no one knows where they are."

"However, I heard that there are people in the Holy City who use this to trade, and it is rumored that they can perform some kind of ritual."

She probably realized that Chen Feng was not from the southern region.

The key lies in appearance. Such black hair, black eyes and skin color, at least she has never seen it in the south. It is rumored that it only exists in the north.

Chen Feng seemed to be thinking deeply after hearing what he said, and soon he saw the other party taking the initiative to bring people to pick up the burlap bags on the surrounding corpses.

There are quite a few finger-sized snake-shaped knife coins in it, in black, red and silver, and they seem to be made of hard copper.

"This is the common currency in the southern lands, created by the Black Blade, Fire Rong, and Silver Wood tribes."

"Please keep it, sir."

With a sincere attitude, seeing the money bag handed over by the other party, Chen Feng pondered for a moment, accepted it, and put it into a small snakeskin bag he picked up.

Although he felt that he might not be able to use it, it was better to have it than not.

Immediately, he saw the other person looking at him with some expectation, and then saw the hopeful and humble eyes of the fugitives around him.

He naturally knew the purpose of their proactive approach.

With a flash of thought in his mind, Chen Feng glanced at the corpse on the ground.

Anyway, his original intention was to lure out the fourth-level snake man.

Moreover, the obsidian just now also gave him some ideas.

Half a fist can provide some progress. What if it is the size of a human head or even larger?

This kind of ore is traded in the Holy City, so if one can obtain it, Steel Bone's talent will obviously grow significantly.

Suddenly, he raised his hand and pointed in a more southerly direction.

Molly understood what he meant and looked surprised.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

If I could really have such a strong person traveling with me, I would definitely be much safer.

The man with the spear and the others were also very excited, and expressions of thanks came one after another.

Finally, the group set off again. Chen Feng walked in silence the whole time, but he was a little concerned about the inconvenience of communication.

"Perhaps, it's time to learn the language of this world."

It sounds difficult, but in fact, it is not too difficult for him.

After all, he could understand what these people were saying, which he could do by combining the differences in syllables and tones, forcibly memorizing them, and then imitating the pronunciation.

In addition to this, his mental strength is now extraordinary, as is his memory.

Suddenly, all the way.

Dead leaves were crushed under their feet, and they stepped over gnarled tree roots and muddy swamps.

Chen Feng took the opportunity to write down some syllables and words, and at the same time listened attentively, so as to understand more about this world.

The Snake Spirit Secret Realm, which is also called the Snake Spirit Continent by these fugitives.

It is rumored that thousands of years ago, this continent was extremely vast and once had a very brilliant human civilization called the Ancient Taido Empire.

It controls many ancient rituals and alchemical inventions that flourished at the time.

But then, the continent collapsed, civilization disappeared, and the snake god was born.

The first eight people who followed the Snake God were blessed and thus became the eight major snake clans today.

Each of them has a trace of snake god blood, possesses supernatural powers, and has absolute rule over certain areas.

The area where they were located was therefore called the Snake Spirit Continent by later generations.

"What about the Holy City?"

On the way, take a break.

There were fugitives gathered together, and they were extremely curious about these ancient legends. They asked hurriedly: "I heard that the Holy City was born hundreds of years ago. Is this true?"

"The Holy City was indeed created hundreds of years ago, but there are several rumors about it."

The spearman named Wu Heng was considered a small leader among the fugitives. He hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "The first one, the most widely known one, is that the Holy City found the treasures left by the ancient Taido civilization, so it was successfully established to shelter us low-level people."

"The second possibility is that the Holy City was created by the ninth person who followed the Serpent God. He was very powerful, but he eventually left the Serpent God, created the Holy City, and was buried here."

As they spoke, everyone had different expressions.

Chen Feng, who was sitting alone at the side, seemed to be unconcerned, but in fact he was quietly aware of what was happening.

"The third possibility is that it is rumored that the Holy City was not created by people from our world."

"An outsider arrived. He couldn't stand the atrocities of the snake people, so he raised the banner of resistance. That's how the holy city came into being."

What is said is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Chen Feng didn't expect that these people also knew about the existence of outsiders.

"I don't know where Wu Heng heard this rumor from. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Your Excellency."

Molly stayed with Chen Feng throughout the whole process, looking embarrassed and not daring to be negligent.

With no expression on his face, Chen Feng just shook his head slightly.

There was no way to verify these rumors, but he had some ideas about what the outsiders said.

Since the Snake Spirit Secret Realm can be opened with a key, there must be other people who can enter this realm.

Shenwu League, Snake Spirit Cult, and even
"Extreme Martial Arts"

Chen Feng thought of the residual memory he had seen in Qinggang City. Blackwater Town was accidentally pulled into the abyss, and the corresponding secret realm that opened was also the Snake Spirit World.

The rescuers at that time included Jiwu Liu’s instructors and law enforcement team.

If they also came to this world, then perhaps they also left some traces.

As his thoughts wandered, Chen Feng became more and more curious about the secrets of this world.

After the rest, everyone set off again.

Gradually, another day passed and they finally crossed the Green Swamp.

Everyone's clothes were in tatters, with some dead leaves on them.

But if you look up and far away, you can see a vast plain before you.

The wide and smooth dirt road leads straight into the distance, with golden rice growing thriving and stretching endlessly.

Looking further away, a white-gray city is located at the end of the ground line. It is built against the mountain and stands like a giant, covering a vast area.

A huge waterfall rushed down from the city wall, and a silver river surrounded it below, isolating the city from the plain.

The suspension bridge outside the white lime city wall was retracted, revealing rows of buildings.

Fortresses, streets, soldiers. White-grey stones are piled up layer by layer. The hill in the center has been completely transformed, with only a patch of green plants on the top.

From afar, you can look beyond the tall city walls and see the densely packed white-gray houses and streets built around the mountains in the city center.

You can even see some huge eagles, seemingly carrying humans, circling in the sky.

In just a moment, all the people who were fleeing were excited and looked longing.

"Here we are, we are finally here!"

"That should be the Holy City! It is said that there are many powerful humans in the Holy City who can control and summon giant eagle beasts. It is indeed true!"

"It is said that there are some inscriptions carved on the walls of the holy city. They are indestructible and cannot be broken even by snake people."

"It's safe, we are finally safe!"

Excited voices rang out, and even the calmer curly-haired woman, Molly, was breathing rapidly and trembling a little.

Chen Feng didn't care about this because he was also a little surprised.

This is a city with completely different architectural styles from those on Earth, full of fantasy style.

It seems like a place other than the world, or like the secluded castle where elves live in legends.

Boo!
Suddenly, perhaps he noticed their presence.

One can see eagles crying in the sky above the city a thousand meters away.

Then, two huge eagles were seen flapping their wings and flying over.

"Don't be afraid, they are the Holy City's guards."

"Just tell the truth later, and they will take us into the city."

Molly obviously had some experience, and the crowd's chaos was suppressed, and they all waited anxiously in their places.

Soon, there was a gust of wind, and the eagle approached and gradually lowered its altitude.

Looking up, you can see flying eagles about five or six meters in size, each with brown feathers, a pointed dark gold beak, and sharp claws.

There were also some strong men wearing silver armor and helmets, ranging in age from twenty to thirty-five, holding spears and bows and arrows, with alert expressions.

"who are you?"

A 30-year-old muscular man asked. He was sturdy and nearly 1.9 meters tall, and was obviously the leader of the group.

He ignored everyone else, including Chen Feng.

His eyes were fixed on Molly from the beginning, alert and vigilant.

In an instant, Chen Feng sensed a slight movement and detected a clue.

Although the aura of this Holy City Guard is between the second and third levels, it is very similar to the power in Molly and is obviously from the same power system.

"Sir, we are fleeing from the territory of the snake tribe."

"I yearn for the glory of the Holy City and hope to live in it."

Molly really spoke truthfully and sincerely, and even took out a bag of snake-shaped coins and handed it to the other party as a gesture of goodwill.

However, the sturdy man in silver armor waved his hand to stop him and frowned.

At the same time, he glanced at the others, his expression calm, and shook his head.

"The resources in the Holy City are scarce, and we don't want to support useless people."

"You are the only one here who has awakened the seed of life. I can only take you into the city."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's faces changed drastically.

Chen Feng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized that the so-called holy city might not be as beautiful as he imagined.

"grown ups!"

Molly looked anxious and said hastily, "They can also work and contribute in the Holy City, and they won't be a burden!"

Others followed suit, echoing in panic.

But soon, a strong wind blew and the eagle rose higher.

It can be seen that the sturdy man in armor had an indifferent tone, and he and the guards looked down calmly.

"There are people like you every year and every month."

"The Holy City is limited in area, and it is difficult to provide for it day after day."

He stood high in the air, ignoring everyone, and finally looked at Molly and said, "If you really want to bring them into the city, then live outside the city and wait for a place."

As soon as the cold words fell, two giant eagles were seen flapping their wings and carrying the guards away.

For a moment, looking at the figure getting farther and farther away, everyone who had fled thousands of miles all looked pale, desperate and confused.

Didn’t they say that the Holy City would treat everyone equally and well?

Why are you so indifferent and turn us away?

"Lady Molly."

The spearman named Wu Heng had a complicated expression, a little guilty and confused.

He was well aware of the specialness of those who awakened the seeds of life. Molly, who brought them with her, could have entered the Holy City directly, but she lost the opportunity because of their encumbrance.

There was no answer to this.

Instead, Molly looked at Chen Feng with a complicated expression.

"Your Mightiness."

She thought the other party would show his strength and gain the attention of the Holy City.

But now it seems that the master may have other ideas, or he may not want to interfere too much in their affairs.

"What is the quota?"

Chen Feng didn't care about her thoughts, but suddenly asked back.

The tone was a bit stiff and awkward, and very forced.

These were the syllables he forced himself to memorize and imitate, and they were not quite standard.

"That's the place to enter the Holy City."

All the luck was gone, and Molly was completely sure that the other party was not from the southern territory.

"I always thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"It is rumored that the number of humans that the Holy City can accommodate is fixed and limited. If ordinary people want to enter the city, they can only wait until the people in the city die and there are extra places before they can enter the city."

The tone was bitter and Molly's face looked a little gloomy.

Chen Feng seemed to be thinking about something, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked towards the outside world of the river that separated the holy city.

There is a group of black and brown buildings, scattered around, most of which are built around the foot of the holy city mountain, and there are faint signs of some human figures.

"It's okay, Lady Molly. It's good enough that we can reach the vicinity of the Holy City."

The fugitives were in a commotion for a moment, and the man named Wu Heng pulled himself together. He quickly came closer and forced a smile, saying, "Besides, isn't it possible to live there? Let's just live there, and we'll eventually be able to enter the city."

They still had hope and fantasy. Molly sighed, that was all she could do.

Soon, the group discussed for a moment and decided to head to the foot of the Holy City Mountain.

But soon, someone spoke in surprise.

"And that Excellency?"

Molly was surprised when she heard that and tilted her head to look.

A breeze blew, and some dirt and dust were raised.

The burly figure wrapped in brown linen disappeared, leaving only the bag containing the snake-shaped coins.
