Chapter 431 Black Mouth

   "It's so fast! And it's still changing in form..."

  The dead horse controlled by the black wolf Bernard changed during the gallop. After running for about a kilometer, it has completely changed into the form of a black wolf, which is more wild, violent and extremely aggressive.

  Yi Chen also noticed that the black armor on the wolf's body was constantly absorbing the dead bacteria in the air, no matter how long the gallop was, it could maintain a full state.

   Running down made Yi Chen more interested in the 'dead horse'. If there is such a mount, the journey in the old world will indeed be much more convenient.

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

   "My Warg ranks among the top three in the entire knight order in terms of speed, and also ranks in the top five in terms of aggressiveness... In terms of mounts, it is one of the best."

   "It's really great, I can feel the rhythm of death in this warg and the almost perfect energy output, presumably it was also perfect in life."

   Bernard could hear that the young man did not flatter him, but praised and sighed from the bottom of his heart. He enjoyed such compliments very much.

   "Senior, is the city of the dead in front of you newly built?"

   "It has been built for a long time. After the fall of the evil sun, we established a city-state at this pass. At the same time, it also serves as the external base of our knight order, which is more conducive to our external expansion.

   We've been confined behind the valley for so long, it's time to expand our territory. "

   "Then when I pass through the pass later, do I need to go through the relevant passage procedures inside the city-state?"

   "The entire tomb has watched your live broadcast, and the boss has also spoken. This time, with me leading you, you can go directly to the depths of the original tomb regardless of various identity verifications.

   If you are interested in joining the Knights at that time, you can ask me to be your recommender. "

   "Thank you, senior."

  【Heikou City-Burnanmouth】

   It is not so much a city-state, but more like a military fortress guarding a pass, and there are still a lot of traces of war within a few kilometers around Heikou City.

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

  『Did the Knights of the Tumor ever have a large-scale battle with the Knights of the Plague here? The relationship between the two is really not that bad, it seems that it is necessary to hide the fact that I have been to the cancer palace. 』

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

  As the dark warg approached the Heikou city gate,

  Because the black wolf Bernard had a high reputation in the original tomb, and his strength was also at the forefront, the group of the dead hanging above the city gate began to spin when they saw the galloping wolf,

  The knots around their necks also turned.

  The gate organ connected to the other end of the rope was activated, and the thick gate of Heikou City slowly opened inward.

at this time,

  A black shadow suddenly descended from the sky, spread its black wings and blocked the way.

  Berna also stopped the wolf immediately, and a fierce light glared from under the wolf's helmet, and shouted loudly with a completely torn **** mouth: "Renato, what do you mean? How dare you block my way?"

  Yi Chen, who was sitting at the back, also turned his head and looked at the roadblocker.

  The other party was wearing a black crow mask with no expression on it. His slender body was matched with a corset armor mostly made of cloth. The huge crow wings spread out behind him, almost blocking the entire city gate.

  『Another Plague Knight...It seems to be aimed at me. The armor style and the breath of the dead are completely different from Mr. Bernard. 』

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

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

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

  Since I am the current person in charge of Heikou City, I must ensure that everything is running normally. If you have any comments, you can directly report to the boss. If you want to break in, don’t blame me for using the power of Heikou City, Bernard. "

   "Huh? Just a pass fortress wants to scare me...Come on, I just haven't killed enough!"

  Berna swung the huge sword of the tombstone directly, and when the edge of the sword fell, the whole city trembled slightly.

  When the situation is about to become serious,

  Yi Chen jumped to the room between the two, and bowed towards Berna.

   "Thank you, Senior Bernard, for leading me to Heikou City. I don't completely belong to the dead, or even belong to the old world. It's very normal to be checked.

  Before I went to the original tomb, I also specially brought a candle puppet that could accept fire, and wanted to experience the process of going deep into the realm of the dead.

   After I go to the original tomb in a formal process, I can visit Mr. Bernard again. "

  Berna waited ten seconds for the giant sword on the tombstone in his hand before slowly putting it down. He barely managed to speak a normal sentence, "See you at the original tomb."

  When he rode a warg through the city gate, he purposely spat at the plague knight named Renato and the current head of Blackmouth City.

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

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

   "There is no need to apologize. As the guest invited by the boss, you were originally eligible to go directly to the depths of the original tomb, but recently due to our expansion, a large number of living people have attracted hostility. Any risk must be considered."

   "How do I make sure I'm not at risk?"

   "Go to the bonfire alone. As long as you can get the fire in it, it means that you are harmless to the dead. I will secretly monitor all your actions."

   Finished speaking.

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

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

  Such snooping made the little grape salivate. It had never seen such delicious grapes since it left the cemetery.

  But I can only imagine a little bit,

  If you want to win the eyes of this person, you will be chased and killed by the entire Plague Knights, and you will definitely die.

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

  When Yi Chen, the "human being", arrived, he immediately attracted the eyes of a large number of wandering dead,

...

  But when they approached one after another, they dispelled this idea when they felt the killing intent emanating from Yi Chen.

  Although they are in 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,

   However, there is a price to pay.

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

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

   In the worst case, you can only choose to bond with animals or insects.

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

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

  This mountain road is dilapidated, retaining the footprints of former climbers, a large number,

   Even some areas have been completely sunken by trampling, and even the remnants of some climbers can occasionally be glimpsed, and the sound of bones and flesh being scorched can be heard.

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

  When Yi Chen stepped onto the mountain platform where the bonfire was, he froze suddenly.

  Little Putao also jumped out at this moment, her eyes widened, and her mouth could not help but ooze saliva, "The bonfire is actually burning firewood!"
