Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

Knight Sandro took off his helmet. He obviously didn't look well and rubbed his ears.

The block that was compressed again returned to its original shape, but the eyes on all six sides were all closed, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

Huangfu Wenning next to her also subconsciously stepped back a little. It was obvious that this thing had given her a great shock just now.

"Have you ever thought about how this Shadow City came about?"

Knight Sandro let out a long sigh and put the block back into the space beside him.

The origin of the City of Shadows...

If Ye Qing remembered correctly, according to Sera and the lady in red, this was the result of the long-term accumulation of negative energy and wronged souls in the Hiro Empire.

When Ye Qing first heard Sera's statement, he was still skeptical, but after hearing the explanation from the lady in red in the lantern, Ye Qing finally believed it.

Now Knight Sandro is going to give a second explanation?

"The explanation that the son from outside the domain gave you was that the wronged souls continued to form this city. This is correct, but there are still some minor problems."

As he said this, Knight Sandro took out a notebook that looked a little worn out and handed it directly to Ye Qing.

There was a tentacle clinging to the surface of the notebook, which looked disgusting.

Ye Qing didn't care much about whether it was disgusting or not. She was more worried about whether Knight Sandro would do something to her, so she didn't rush to open the notebook.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Ye Qing had to be cautious.

"There are many places in this world where wronged souls accumulate, but if there is no interference from the Undead Lord or the Lich, they will basically be useless. At most, they will become places unsuitable for living."

"But a world that is contrary to the normal world has even formed here. This is because the power of the ancient gods interfered with this land and intercepted the souls and memory fragments of these wronged souls, which formed this world."

Knight Sandro's explanation is not without reason.

But if he wants people to believe what he says, he naturally has to provide evidence.

Ye Qing didn't need to say anything more, Knight Sandro took the initiative to show the so-called whole game.

He stretched out his right hand horizontally, and twisted flames ignited on the black gauntlet.

"I advise you to calm down and not act rashly."

Huangfu Wen Ning stared at Knight Sandro coldly, and his right hand, which was resting on the hilt of the sword, had quietly clenched.

"Don't worry, I just want to show you the evidence."

Knight Sandro took a deep breath, then slowly paddled into the air.

"This is......"

Ye Qing's sight couldn't help but focus on the cut. When Knight Sandro's hand moved away, countless tiny tentacles began to extend from the cut.

Why would something like this extend out from the cut space?

Huangfu Wenning, who was sitting next to them, saw it more closely. She noticed that inside the incision was real flesh and blood.

Twisted flesh and tentacles were entangled with everything, constantly wriggling in the cut.

But just one look made Huangfu Wenning feel dizzy and he almost vomited.

The twisted flame in Knight Sandro's hand ignited again, "stitching" the cut again.

After witnessing this blasphemous scene, Ye Qing took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"This world itself is just its flesh."

--------

In the fog of the southern area, the battle is coming to an end.

Although no one in the team died, the current condition was not very good.

As the one in the back row, Anjie has simply given up on protection, and started to move around actively without casting any protective spells on herself.

What happened in return was that Zhao Xin and Xiao Yan chased after Famine almost madly, while Zhao Manying kept filling in the gap like a shadow.

Even though Famine was moving very fast, the two Zhao sisters still accurately predicted her position and caught her off guard.

Coupled with Xiaoyan's summoning of Shikigami at all costs, the pace of famine was slowed down further.

However, his mana and health were almost drained by famine, so he could not move and could only lean on the rubble beside him helplessly.

Until now, Zhao Manying's pincer attack was in place again. At the cost of Zhao Xin's desperate attack, he pierced Hungry's throat with a sword and stabbed her down from mid-air.

"Huh, huh..."

Famine gasped violently. Even though her throat was pierced, she did not surrender. Her long gray hair suddenly stabbed at Zhao Manying like sharp thorns.

But the dazzling holy light lit up again, and the holy lion roared, forming an extremely solid barrier blocking Zhao Manying.

She hasn't given up yet, just have to hold on for a while!!

The gray hair spikes created ripples on the barrier, and Zhao Manying drew out his dagger and raised it with a cold look in his eyes.

"it's over!"

The next moment, the golden dagger cut off Famine's head, and the body covered by dark golden light solidified and turned into crystals before continuously disintegrating.

The Apocalypse Horseman, Famine, was killed here.

Seeing that the battle was over, Anjie quickly drank the potion and continued to cast various recovery spells on her teammates.

Chapter 29 "Peace Talks"

"Is there anyone else in an abnormal state?"

Anjie staggered as she walked through the ruins, the light of the staff in her hand never stopping.

"No......"

"I don't have any..."

Zhao Xin leaned against the ruins, panting, and looked extremely tired.

In the battle just now, her predictions never ended from beginning to end. She almost kept following Famine's trajectory. It can even be said that she knew "clearly" how Famine would act.

Facts also prove that Zhao Xin's awareness is quite strong, and he did not make any mistakes in his predictions from beginning to end.

Zhao Manying stood where she was. She did not sit down like her sister, but took the initiative to patrol the surroundings.

As Famine died, the thick fog around them gradually dissipated, and the buildings in front of them gradually became clearer.

"Get up."

Seeing the fog dissipate, Zhao Manying walked to Xiaoyan, stretched out her hand and pulled him up from the ruins.

Xiaoyan, who was hit by Anjie's attack just now, was not drained and survived thanks to the protection of the White Tiger and Blue Dragon Shikigami, although he almost died when he fell.

But at that moment, Xiaoyan made the most correct judgment.

He gave up on letting the shikigami protect him, and instead turned to attack with all his might and delay Famine.

It was this decision that completely deprived Famine of its advantage of high-speed movement, and even became its biggest disadvantage.

The attacks of the Blue Dragon Shikigami will cause unhealable wounds, while the White Tiger Shikigami will cause persistent, incurable bleeding.

The combination of these two points made Famine eager to extract health points, which naturally put it at a disadvantage and turned from active to passive.

"I don't know what's going on with Sister Ye Qing..."

Zhao Xin rested for a while before standing up, and couldn't help but worry about Ye Qing's situation.

After all, the situation here is not good, and it is hard to say what kind of monsters and demons we will encounter on the other side.

No one had expected the power of Famine. The hidden 20% of information actually created such an outrageous existence.

Not to mention anything else, if other teams were to deal with the second stage of Famine, it would be hard to say whether they could defeat it.

Just the ability of Famine to drain health and mana is enough to give many teams a headache, coupled with her extremely high movement speed.

Zhao Xin could imagine the scene where an ordinary team would be worn to death by this thing...

"Since Ye Zi hasn't said anything, it means there's no problem. There's no need to worry about it. Any rash actions might disrupt her plans."

Zhao Manying rubbed her sister's head. It was impossible to say that she was not worried.

But this is her trust in Ye Qing. This almost unconditional trust in her teammates comes from Ye Qing's own strong strength.

Since the server was launched, Ye Qing has never let his teammates down.

It can even be said that Ye Qing is constantly surprising his teammates, even to the point where his teammates need to look up to him.

"So what should we do now, continue to wait?"

Angel looked around and saw that the vines that Sera had placed earlier had begun to take over the area, and there was no longer as much noise as before.

The vines gradually sank into the ground until no trace of them could be seen.

But the damaged buildings on the ground were repaired by the vines, and the missing parts were filled in and replaced by intertwined thorns.

This unique ecology makes people frown to some extent. The more it goes against common sense, the more likely it is to disgust people.

"Let's take the token back to Sera first, and see if there are any exclusive equipment."

Zhao Manying quickly made up her mind and walked to the treasure chest left by Famine.

Due to the switch to the second stage just now, the original strategy is of no use at all. The only time everyone can actually achieve the strategy is to interrupt when the health is at 50%.

Even in this situation, it is not certain that exclusive equipment will be released. Except for those who obtain it stably through tasks like Ye Qing, none of the exclusive equipment can be obtained stably.

Not only was Zhao Manying nervous, but everyone around her also held their breath.

As the treasure chest was slowly opened, the corresponding list appeared in front of everyone.

"This is......"

--------

"So this entire Shadow City is actually hosted in the so-called remains of the ancient god?"

After listening to Knight Sandro's explanation, Ye Qing couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.

If it was only Knight Sandro himself who showed that space, Ye Qing would still have some doubts as to whether this was Knight Sandro's own ability.

But after Ye Qing used justice to draw a "crack" and saw the distorted existences inside again, Ye Qing had to believe what Knight Sandro said.

"To be precise, it is the combination of the remains of the ancient god and the fragments of dreams that finally formed this shadow city. It is an existence between reality and dreams."

Knight Sandro nodded. This was exactly why he was waiting for Ye Qing here and took great pains to explain everything to her.

When facing an existence of this level, no matter how many strategies he had, they would all seem quite powerless.

"Except for the son from outside the domain and the owner of the clock tower, everyone who stays here for a long time will gradually be transformed into the monsters in the fog. I believe you have seen those monsters."

Ye Qing nodded. When she first entered the City of Shadows, she encountered a variety of monsters, some of which were far stronger than the current main line level.

Dark ghosts, ghost spiders, and similar creatures had previously wandered around in the fog.

It was not until Sera continued to dispel the fog that the twisted monsters around disappeared.

"The fog itself is a manifestation of power. It's a pity that the child from outside the domain is born with the power to restrain the ancient gods. Therefore, as long as she continues to dispel the fog, those monsters will disappear completely... Is this really the case?"

Knight Sandro suddenly changed the subject and looked at Ye Qing in front of him with a serious expression.

Ye Qing also realized the problem and frowned.

If success could be achieved just by this, someone like Knight Sandro should have taken the initiative to find Sera. And judging from the information he already knows, he probably entered the City of Shadows earlier than Ye Qing.

"But the fact is that when the fog disappeared, the number of monsters also decreased significantly. Or do you have anything to prove it?"

Ye Qing rubbed her forehead. The information she got from Knight Sandro today would greatly change her attitude towards the City of Shadows.

Even though she would not let Knight Sandro do what he wanted, she still had to confirm the authenticity of the information.

"Unfortunately, I can only tell you this but I can't prove it. If the fog is mostly dispelled, the remains of the ancient god will completely recycle the dream power and re-enter the process of awakening."

By then, the power of the ancient gods will plunge the entire city of Hiero into a nightmare, and all living beings will have their concepts of life and death reversed.

That was the scene that Knight Sandro had seen on Astra. It was not caused by the Demon King, but the influence of the power of the Ancient God.

This was something he was destined not to tell Ye Qing, and it was also information he had been hiding until now.

"I believe you don't want to see the destruction of the Xiluo Imperial City. At least for now, there is still something you need here. What's more, the Xiluo Royal Family is now your most powerful backer, isn't it?"

I have to say, this point really hits Ye Qing's sore spot.

If it is true as Knight Sandro said, then Ye Qing must not let the ancient god wake up.
