Chapter 431 Black Mouth

 “So fast! And it’s still undergoing morphological changes...”

The dead horse controlled by the black wolf Bernard changed during the galloping. After running about a thousand meters, it had completely transformed into the form of a black warg, which was wilder, more violent and extremely aggressive.

Yi Chen also noticed that the black armor on the warg was constantly absorbing the dead plague bacteria in the air, and it could remain full no matter how long it galloped.

 After some running, Yi Chen became even more interested in the ‘dead horse’. If he had such a mount, his journey in the old world would indeed be much more convenient.

Bernard naturally noticed the surprised expression of the young man behind him, and while further speeding up, he said:

“My warg ranks among the top three in the entire knight order in terms of speed, and its aggressiveness ranks among the top five... In terms of mounts, it is one of the best.”

“It’s really great. I can feel the rhythm of death and the almost perfect energy output in this warg’s body. It must have been equally perfect in life.”

 Bernard could hear that the young man was not flattering himself, but was praising and sighing from the heart. He enjoyed this kind of praise very much.

“Senior, is the city of the dead in front of you a new one?”

“It has been built for a long time. After the fall of Evil Sun, we established a city-state in this pass. It also serves as an external base for our Knights, which is more conducive to our external expansion.

  For so long we have been confined behind the valley, it is time to expand our territory. "

“Then when I pass through the pass later, do I need to go through the relevant procedures within the city-state?”

“The entire Yuan Tomb has watched your live broadcast, and the boss has also spoken. This time, I will take you, and you can directly ignore all kinds of identity verification and go to the depths of the Yuan Tomb.

At that time, if you are interested in joining the Knights, you can find me as a recommender. "

 “Thank you, senior.”

  【Blackmouth City-Bernenmouth】

It is more like a military fortress guarding the pass than a city-state, and a large number of traces of war can be seen in the area of ​​several kilometers around Heikou City.

Although the pits left by the war have been covered by the death plague and the remnants have been basically wiped out, there are still some fragments that cannot be completely erased, which are also the kind of fleshy metal that Yi Chen has seen.

　　　"Have the Cancer Knights ever had a large-scale battle with the Plague Knights here?" The relationship between the two is really not that bad. It seems necessary to hide the fact that I have been to the Cancer Palace. 』

Thinking of this, Yi Chen buried the cancer crystal given by Ms. Olena deep in his brain and sunk it between the pools of black liquid to avoid being discovered.

As the dark warg approaches the Heikou city gate,

Since the black wolf Bernard had a high reputation and strength in the original tomb, the groups of the dead hanging above the city gate began to spin when they saw the galloping warg.

The knots wrapped around their necks also turned.

The city gate mechanism connected to the other end of the rope was activated, and the heavy gate of Heikou City slowly opened inward.

at this time,

 A black shadow suddenly descended from the sky, spreading its dark wings and blocking the way.

Bernard also immediately stopped the warg. A fierce light flashed from under the wolf's helmet, and he yelled with a completely torn **** mouth: "Renato, what do you mean? How dare you block my way?"

Yi Chen, who was sitting in the back, also tilted his head and looked at the blocker.

The opponent wore an expressionless black crow mask, and his slender body was matched with a corseted armor made mostly of cloth. The huge crow wings spread out behind him, almost blocking the entire city gate.

“Another Death Plague Knight... seems to be targeting me. The armor style and the aura of the dead are completely different from Mr. Bernard. 』

“Bernard, if you bring outsiders into the city unconditionally, I will naturally stop them.

In this special period, everyone must follow the rules for entering the city, even outsiders invited by the boss.

 He came from the outside world, and his body is mixed with blood that does not belong to us, so he is still alive. If he carries contraband, affects the origin of the original tomb, and even affects the boss, can you be responsible? Bernard.

Since I am the current person in charge of Heikou City, I have to ensure that everything is running normally. If you have any opinions, you can report them directly to the boss. If you want to force your way in, don't blame me for using the rights of Heikou City, Bernard. "

"Huh? A mere pass fortress wants to scare me... Come on, I haven't killed enough yet!"

Bernard directly swung the tombstone sword. When the sword fell, the whole city trembled slightly.

When it seems that the situation is about to become serious,

Yi Chen jumped up to the room between the two of them and bowed to Bernard.

“Thank you, Senior Bernard, for bringing me to Heikou City. I don’t belong to the dead, or even to the old world, so it is normal to undergo examination.

Moreover, before I went to the original tomb, I also brought a candle puppet who could accept fire, hoping to experience the process of going deep into the realm of the dead.

 Just wait until I go to the original tomb through formal procedures, and then I can visit Mr. Bernard. "

 Bernard waited for ten seconds before slowly putting down the tombstone giant sword he held in his hand. He managed to squeeze out a normal sentence between his mouth, "See you at the original tomb."

When he rode a warg through the city gate, he deliberately spat next to the plague knight named Renato and the current head of Black Mouth City.

This scene made Yi Chen very embarrassed. He originally thought that the deceased were a very united group, but now it seems different from what he imagined.

Yichen immediately turned around, faced the person in charge of Heikou City, and saluted and apologized.

"There is no need to apologize. As a guest invited by the boss, you were originally qualified to go directly to the depths of the original tomb. However, our recent expansion has attracted a lot of hostility from the living. Any risks must be considered."

 “How can I make sure I’m not at risk?”

“Going to the bonfire alone, as long as you can get the fire in it, it means you are harmless to the dead, and I will secretly monitor all your actions.”

Finished speaking.

The crow feathers floated, and the figure disappeared into the dark night sky.

There is a pair of dark and moist eyes that are always spying on Yi Chen in the darkness. As long as he is in Heikou City, this sense of spying is everywhere.

Such peeking made the little grape's mouth water. It had never seen such delicious grapes since leaving the cemetery.

But I can only fantasize a little bit,

If you want to capture this person's eyes, you will be madly pursued by the entire Death Plague Knights, and you will definitely die.

Stepping into the city gate, the entire Heikou City is extremely deserted. There are no shops, no residential buildings, and even few basic buildings. There are only dark spiers with military functions standing in different areas, more like a military fortress. .

When the ‘human’ Yi Chen arrived, he immediately attracted the attention of a large number of wandering dead people.

Some people are even ready to taste the death they have never seen in Yi Chen, and even get the possibility of promotion...

 But as they approached one after another and felt the killing intent emanating from Yi Chen, they gave up the idea.

Even though they are within the coverage area of ​​the original tomb, they will never die. Even if they are completely killed, they can still wake up in a certain cemetery.

 But there is a price to pay.

 Each resuscitation, the individual's death limit will be reduced.

 Once it falls below a certain limit, the physical body will even become unable to condense and can only exist in the form of an arm, a head, or an organ.

 In the worst case, the only option is to combine with animals or insects.

At present, a wild dog controlled by a skull quickly passed by Yi Chen. In the corner not far away, a centipede with multiple fingers or a mouse with heart tissue stuck to its back could be seen.

Yi Chen did not stop and found the only mountain road leading to the bonfire.

This mountain trail is in dilapidated condition and retains a large number of footprints of former climbers.

Even some areas have been completely dented by trampling, and you can even occasionally glimpse the remaining figures of some climbers, and hear the sound of bones and flesh being burned.

It seems that outsiders who come to perform the bonfire ritual, once the ritual fails and fail to obtain fire, need to throw themselves into the bonfire to add fuel and firewood at their own expense.

　　When Yi Chen stepped onto the mountain platform where the bonfire was, his whole body suddenly froze.

Little Putao also jumped out at this moment, his eyes widened and saliva oozed from his mouth, "The bonfire is actually the burning fuel of the evil sun!"
