Entering from here, you first walk onto a very wide road.
Judging from the road layout, the city is well-planned, and the entire city surrounds a tall tower in the middle.
I randomly came to the front of a building, and the entrance was already surrounded by vines.
Fu Long waved his demon-slaying staff and cut open the vine-like plant, finally revealing what was inside.
The inside was a mess, but you could still see it with the help of a little light.
This four-story building should belong to one family. There's nothing here to prove their identity, so we can only guess.
"It looks like something happened; everyone here has fled," the drunkard said after glancing around.
"Escape? I don't think so. It's possible. The people here have all been devoured by some kind of curse." Fu Long looked at the tower in the distance, a feeling stirring in his heart.
"The architecture of the city here is similar to that of the original continent, which shows that the humans here had already developed a certain level of civilization. However, it seems that this civilization has been destroyed."
Billian also sighed.
"However, what I'm really concerned about is what that tower in the middle is. It gives me a creepy feeling." Fox Spirit ignored the things in the room and looked at the tower in the distance.
Fu Long also had this feeling, but he didn't sense any particular danger, so he didn't say anything.
Clearly, that tower is the most important part of the city.
"The humans here probably built the city to guard that tower, but something changed later," the drunkard added, offering his analysis.
Fu Long shook his head and said, "There's no point in saying anything here. We need to go up and see for ourselves to know what's going on. Let's go, but be careful. From here on, this is the territory of the gold and silver ingots."
Everyone nodded, and the drunkard drank more wine, now fearless.
The group headed towards the city center and stopped after walking for two hours.
Looking at the setting sun on the horizon, Fu Long said, "Isn't it interesting that we got lost on what should have been a straight road?"
The drunkards were also quite frustrated. Indeed, they had walked in a straight line, and it didn't seem like a long distance from one end of the city to the other.
But after two hours, this time it felt like I couldn't go forward or backward. What's going on?
Looking around, the houses all looked pretty much the same, so it was hard to tell where I was.
"Didn't you take the same route twice?" Fu Long looked at the drunkard.
The drunkard shook his head and said, "So far, the path has not been repeated."
Fu Long raised an eyebrow. If that's the case, then this is interesting. Is this a real case of being trapped in a maze?
That's not right either. Even if it's a case of being lost in a maze, after walking for so long, something else should have popped up by now.
As it turned out, the so-called guardian gold and silver ingots did not appear, which was a bit of a headache.
"Or perhaps, we've been trapped in some kind of illusion from the very beginning?" Fu Long wondered if he had fallen for it.
"It shouldn't be an illusion. If it were, I should be able to sense it." Fox Spirit was quite knowledgeable about illusions, so if she couldn't tell, there shouldn't be a problem.
"Then there's only one possibility: our vision has been interfered with, or rather, it's a subtle, gradual interference."
Fu Long looked back, then forward, and finally walked toward a house next to him. When he got there, Fu Long called over Billian and asked her to stand back to back with him.
Then Fu Long found a direction, which he saw as a straight line.
"What you should see is a diagonal line, or a long arc."
"really."
"I understand." Fu Long scratched his head. In this huge city, the roads weren't straight lines, but rather had a slight curve.
The only problem is that the curvature is so great that the entire city was used to create a series of curved roads.
So when you walk, it looks like you're walking in a straight line, but in reality, due to the influence of vision, you're actually walking in circles.
That means we can't continue along the road.
“Yes, if we can’t follow the road, then there’s only one place we can go.” Fu Long looked up and said, “Let’s go up to the roof.”
Because in front of them, apart from this road, all the other roads were very narrow, requiring people to squeeze in sideways.
Moreover, various plants grow in the middle of some roads.
Fu Long felt that these plants, or rather these narrow paths, could trap a person inside if they didn't walk properly, making it difficult for them to move around.
Therefore, going up on the roof is the best option.
"Then let's go up and take a look. We'll be high up and have a better view. If possible, we can go directly down from the roof." The drunkard got excited too.
Fu Long nodded, and the group of people leaped onto the roof.
The tallest building has four floors, but that's no problem for them. They just need to concentrate their thoughts on their feet and jump upwards with all their might.
Fu Long took the lead and flew up towards the house next door.
Just as Fu Long jumped onto the roof, he felt a blur before his eyes, and a figure appeared where he was about to land.
It was a plant shaped like a human.
The reason it was identified as a plant is because the creature's two legs grew from a huge vine; it had legs, but it shouldn't be able to move.
Its upper body is similar to that of a human, with strong and powerful arms and a round head.
Fu Long hadn't expected to encounter this plant in this place. He was currently in the air, constantly approaching it.
Just as they were about to climb onto the roof, the gold and silver ingots moved.
Two thick arms transformed into fists and struck out, and in an instant, several punches were thrown, with only a series of fist shadows visible as they continuously attacked Fu Long.
Fu Long quickly took out his demon-slaying staff, while the nine-headed skull flew up and down, blocking the incoming fist.
At the same time, Fu Long swung his demon-slaying staff, aiming directly at the opponent's head.
With a "poof," it split in two, and a stream of acidic liquid suddenly flew out from the huge spherical head, heading towards Fu Longzhao.
Fu Long was also startled. Judging from both the taste and color, the acidic water was poisonous.
Fortunately, the nine-headed skull not only had good defensive capabilities but could also control water, which prevented the acid from hitting him.
Clang! At that moment, the opponent's fist struck the nine-headed skull. Fu Long felt a powerful force come from it, and then his whole body flew backward.
Damn, are his fists made of metal? They're so heavy.
Chapter 447 Nighttime is the scariest.
Fu Long was already in mid-air when this blow knocked the gold and silver ingots down from above.
Billy immediately caught Fu Long below, looking at him with concern.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Although he was attacked, Fu Long felt himself and found that he was not injured. The nine-headed skull's defense was quite reliable.
"What's going on?" the drunkard asked, looking up at the roof.
"Gold and silver ingots. The roof is covered with vines, all connected together. It should be able to generate these plant weapons, gold and silver ingots, depending on where we jump."
"Isn't it an aggressive type?" the drunkard asked after thinking for a moment.
Fu Long shook his head; the other party did not launch an attack.
"I'll give it a try."
"Be careful, its fists are very powerful and feel metallic. Its head is like a plant, and it can be split open with a single blow, but it produces yellow acidic liquid inside. I didn't get any on it, but if I had, it would probably have been very uncomfortable."
The drunkard nodded. Instead of rushing towards a rooftop, he jumped up from the spot, using his height to survey his surroundings.
The drunkard can jump more than 30 meters high, so he can see the situation below at a glance.
The houses were very close together, almost all crammed together, and in the distance, you could see another road.
In other words, to get to the other road, you really have to jump over these houses.
However, it was obvious that the rooftops along the way were covered with vine-like plants, and more importantly, these plants looked almost alive.
The drunkard twisted and turned occasionally, but he didn't see any gold or silver ingots. He figured that only by attacking the plant could he activate it.
Even if it's not an aggressive offensive strategy, it's still worth taking advantage of.
Upon landing, the drunkard took a sip of his drink and said, "If we set these plants on fire, what will happen to them...?"
"No." Foxy shook her head: "Don't think too highly of yourself. The army that entered here was a special forces unit, but only two of them survived. That shows how harsh this place is. And with so many people here, I don't believe they didn't consider using fire."
Fu Long nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. Moreover, their weaponry is not necessarily weaker than that of Nen users. They should also have Nen users among them. Yet, they still lost so many that only two of them remain."
The drunkard chuckled and said, "It's not illegal to try. Come on, vixen, cooperate."
Foxy rolled her eyes at the drunkard, but seeing the look in his eyes that said he had to give it a try, she finally had no choice but to agree.
The two leaped high into the air, and the drunkard opened his mouth directly, creating a curtain of wine in the sky, which all fell onto the plants.
Fu Long and the others involuntarily took a few steps back. The drunkard was fine in other aspects, but he had to use his mouth to make moves.
You're saying that if so much wine gets sprayed on someone, wouldn't the people below get spit on them?
Sigh, this is really... troublesome.
They quickly retreated to a safe area, where they saw the fox spirit above. At that moment, a foxfire shot out.
The wine, touched by the foxfire, caught fire instantly.
The flames quickly adhered to the plants.
When the vines encountered the fire, they actually retreated very quickly.
Yes, it really is a refund.
This scene left Fu Long and the others stunned for a moment, wondering if they had made a mistake.
You were just saying this place was dangerous, why did you turn back?
Your retreat makes us feel like fools. Plants really are afraid of fire! How awful, we've been tricked!
"Look, it works great! Let's go, this is a good opportunity to get to another road." After landing, the drunkard patted his chest and said.
Fu Long and his group were also helpless. Now, with the Drunkard and the Fox Fairy leading the way, the two of them worked together, using a sip of wine and a burst of fire to quickly clear a path to the other side.
Upon arriving at their destination, the group landed on the road again.
There are no attacks in the middle of the road, so you can rest here for a while.
Turning around, Fu Long looked at the rooftop behind him.
