Chapter 621 The blood-stained city of the end

“Besides, the size of this city looks a bit scary...” Mu You thought to himself.

There are hundreds of giants in just one patrol outside the city, so the total number of giants in the city should be at least tens of thousands...

Mu You didn't dare to get any closer and stopped the savages in time to find a place to hide, because there were probably god-level beings in the city, or sentient giants like the giantess, who could easily get too close. be found.

 Mu You relied on the suppression of his vision to dare to approach the enemy's lair so unscrupulously. If he was suppressed by the enemy's vision without realizing it, it would be a disaster.

 Next, Mu You controlled the character and circled around the outside of the city from a distance, constantly using the fog-breaking mirror to look back and observe the situation.

 The more I looked at it, the more frightened I became.

This city is really too big, with a horizontal and vertical span of at least a hundred kilometers. A whole circle of tall walls has been erected around it. You can't see the scene in the center of the city, but just this range and what you can see along the way. The number of giants, the population of giants in this city is definitely over six figures!

 Mu You has a headache.

If this giant's base only has a few hundred or a few thousand people in a small tribe or village, they may still be able to forcefully demolish this place through population crushing.

However, how can they push a city with more than 100,000 people? This is definitely beyond the capabilities of players at this stage.

“Can we only let Sunset City evacuate first...” Mu You sighed.

This giant city is not far from Sunset City, at least it must be within the range of the giant's raid. If the giant army rushes at full speed, it will only be half a day's journey from here to Sunset City.

At present, the giants have not figured out the reality of Sunset City, but there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Once the situation of Sunset City is figured out by the opponent in the future, they will definitely send a large army to attack the city.

If the Fools are allowed to develop steadily for a few years, they may be able to withstand the attack of the giants, but it is definitely not possible now. Facing the giant siege that may happen at any time, the only way is to not fight and let the Sunset City players evacuate to other cities in advance. Then destroy Sunset City's control facilities, leaving the opponent with a dead city.

 But this would mean that the players had already lost a city less than half a year after entering Gaotian, which would definitely hurt morale.

Mu You shook his head. Not to mention this, there was another thing that concerned him: before he patrolled the city just now, the text had prompted, 'The blood god's arm points to the city ahead'.

At first, Mu You thought that the position of the next Blood God's body happened to coincide with the direction of the Giant City. However, as he circled the city, his arm kept pointing at the Giant City...

Then there is only one possibility: the body of the Blood God he is looking for is in this giant city!

“So part of the Blood God’s body was taken away by the giant?” Mu You was a little surprised.

He has already obtained the Blood God’s head, and other parts cannot be parasitized. What do these God-devouring beasts want to do with the Blood God’s body?

Mu You pondered for a moment, but with no results, he decided to transform into a giant and go over to investigate in person.

Although the transformation is likely to be seen through by the God-Eating Beast at the first time, there is no better way at this time. It depends on how much information can be obtained in the past. At most, if you die once, you can be resurrected anyway.

Thinking of this, Mu You asked the barbarian and the bone dragon to stay and hide on the other side of the river, and went to the opposite city alone.

　　【You transform into the form of a giant scout, cross the river, and rush towards the city on the other side...】

　　【You quickly approached the city. Not far ahead, a scout coming from the other direction arrived at the city gate before you and was stopped by the giant guard at the gate...】

You followed the giant scout and quietly approached the city gate. 】

  【As you approach one thousand meters in front of the city gate, you are suddenly surrounded by a familiar feeling. 】

　　【You subconsciously looked up and saw an invisible barrier of order runes high in the sky, covering the entire city...】

 “Order enchantment?”

Mu You was stunned.

 Generally speaking, order enchantments are like laws, designed to set specific rules and constraints, and all creatures within the enchantment must abide by such rules.

However, things like restraints are usually set up for enemies. What is the use of these giants setting up order barriers on their own territory?

Besides, he has already obtained the authority of order, so the giants should not be able to use the power of order. So who made this barrier?

It's a pity that the scope of this barrier is too large. Mu You can only see the tip of the iceberg from his perspective, and there is no space or time to analyze its function in detail.

　　【The giant scout in front successfully passed the guard's interrogation, it's your turn. 】

　　【You stepped forward, the giant guard glanced at you, showed no signs of strangeness, and then motioned for you to produce the scout manual. 】

　　【You take out a manual you looted previously, and after a rough inspection, the giant guard waves to clear the way for you. 】

"Lord Seam God has given an order to gather at the intelligence office immediately after returning to the city!" With the giant's final instructions, you successfully stepped into the city gate. 】

　　　…”

Mu You had a weird look on his face, he actually sneaked in, and he got in so easily, he thought he would have to go through at least a big battle or something...

Moreover, these God-devouring beasts actually failed to see through his disguise?

 Mu You even wondered for a while whether the God-Eating Beast had seen through him and was just letting him in deliberately, hoping to catch a turtle in a urn or something.

 But after thinking about it carefully, I think it is impossible. The Fool has been killed by giants before. These giants should know that the Fool cannot be killed. If they let him in, not only will they not be able to keep him, but they will also leak their own intelligence.

“Is it because of the order barrier just now?” Mu You thought.

He entered this layer of enchantment first and then came into contact with the giant. The only reasonable explanation at the moment is that this layer of order enchantment contains some unknown rules, which prevented him from being seen through by the God-Eating Beast.

No matter what, now that you have gotten in, you must seize the opportunity and do your best to get some information.

　　【You enter the city and find that the buildings in the city are densely packed, and a large number of giants dressed as civilians are walking back and forth in the city. The roads in the city are crisscrossed like a maze, and it is difficult for you to identify the direction for a while...】

 Sure enough, it is more than just an army! There are also civilians in this city, and there are a lot of them. At this time, Mu You had just arrived, and he had no idea about the terrain distribution of the city. He could only follow the giant scouts in front, and it seemed that he had to go to some "intelligence office" to sign in first.

　　【You follow the giant scout calmly, all the way around the city, and soon enter a hidden alley, and finally you both get into a seemingly ordinary building deep in the alley. 】

[Entering the building, there are already several giant scouts dressed similarly in the hall. They sit on the seats on both sides without saying a word. When they saw you two entering, they just turned around and took a look. They didn’t say much and remained calm. Sit in their respective positions. 】

　　【The giant scout you are following walks to an empty seat on the left and sits down, you choose...】

　　【You continue to follow the other person and sit in the empty seat next to him. 】

The hall became quiet. More than 20 people remained silent, like stone statues. 】

[... In the next hour, several scouts entered the room, sitting in other positions ...] [... After you entered the house for two hours, a giant wearing a white gown pushed in from the back door. 】

　　【This giant was wearing white clothes and a pair of white gloves on his hands. Both the white clothes and the gloves were stained with blood, as if he had just finished handling the corpse of some kind of creature. 】

As the white-clothed giant entered the room, the other giants immediately stood up, and you immediately stood up with the others. 】

　　【The white-clothed giant swept towards the people in the hall, counted the number of people, and his face quickly darkened: "Twenty-seven people... A total of 38 scouts were sent out before, and there is still 11 people who have not been heard from yet..." ]

Mu You frowned.

 Eleven scouts did not return, and he killed exactly eleven giants in total, but he pretended to be a giant himself.

 In other words, there is still a giant who has not returned?

 Did you get into trouble outside? Or was it just delayed due to some accident?

Mu You doesn’t believe that there are other players who have defeated a giant. If an ordinary player had defeated a giant, they should have publicized it long ago.

["To be able to detect our existence so quickly and kill eleven of us silently... It seems that we underestimated the descendants of these Fools, and the previous investigation order was a bit reckless..." The giant in white He lowered his head and pondered. 】

Mu You curled his lips after seeing this. There was something fishy about this. Why did he just blame all the kills on the Fool?

　　"Has anyone found out about the Fool's lair?" The giant in white swept over the scouts present in turn. 】

　　　　Everybody looked at each other and shook their heads. 】

　　【The giant in white seemed to have known this for a long time: "Hand over the scout manual and the map of the Fool's route that has been identified."】

　　【You follow the other giants and place a volume of scout manual and a map marked with a soul-inducing lamp on the table in front of the giant in white. 】

["The two gods are both at work and cannot get away. No new orders have been issued yet. Next, all members of the scout team will suspend their reconnaissance operations and go to the ancient battlefield in the south of the city to support the excavation work until new orders are issued." The giant in white ordered. 】

 “Two gods?”

Mu You raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, there are gods in this city, and there are two of them.

At this time, Mu You remembered that when he entered the city before, the guards at the city gate had mentioned a "sewing god".

 The God of Seams, one of the two gods in this city?

 This is a **** I have heard of for the first time. You can ask the dungeon later.

"Yes." The scouts responded one after another and filed out of the house. 】

　　【You follow the other giants in a low-key manner and rush through the city...】

[Soon, you arrived at the southern area of ​​the city. It was actually a wasteland, separated from the residential area by an isolation barrier. There were no buildings in the isolation zone, and the ground was covered with weeds and shrubs, like an undeveloped wild land. . 】

You and the other giants easily passed through the barrier. The moment you entered the barrier, you suddenly felt a strong ghostly aura coming towards you. There seemed to be roars full of resentment, echoing in your ears, making your hair stand on end. 】

　　【You follow the giant scout team, follow a path in the wasteland, go all the way deep, and soon arrive at an empty open space. 】

What appears in front of you is a construction site similar to an archaeological site. The entire ground is barren of grass and a large number of holes of different sizes have been dug. 】

Around each pit, densely packed giant skeletons were looming, covering almost the entire site, like a mass grave. The soil in the site showed an abnormal deep red color, and the smell of blood hit the face. 】

　　【A large number of giants wearing white uniforms and white gloves are distributed in various pits, holding small hammers, shovels and other tools, carefully digging among the soil between the bones...】

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

Mu You looked more and more confused. What on earth is this city? Why are there so many giant skeletons buried?

Furthermore, descriptions such as "blood-stained soil", "roaring resentful souls", etc. all imply that these giants did not die normally, but were killed by others.

["We're here!" At this time, one of the giants in white saw the arrival of the scout team and hurriedly came over. He took off his gloves and pointed to the camp not far away: "Quick, everyone go change your clothes and get your tools. Come down and help... Remember, don't touch those bones, otherwise the curse of the evil spirits will contaminate your arms..."]

　　【You followed the other giants and entered the camp tent, where you picked up a white coat, white hat and gloves. After getting dressed, you entered the venue again, and under the command of the white-clothed giant, dispersed throughout the venue...】

　　　【You pass by one of the potholes, and a few giants working below suddenly burst into cheers. 】

　　【You look down and see one of the giants in the pit, carefully digging out a somewhat damaged short staff from the blood soil with both hands: "It's shipped again, it's the Poseidon Scepter..."】

　　　…”

There is no need for these giants to report, Mu You's omniscient crystal has also fed back the information.

How could the Poseidon's Scepter, one of the Water God's artifacts, be buried under this land?

"Speaking of which, this is really an archaeological treasure hunt..." Mu You looked at the description of "shipped" and twitched the corner of his mouth.

 At this time, his game characters cannot go anywhere else and can only be forced to serve as coolies for these archaeological giants.

 Muyou simply hangs up.

 In reality, he took out the oil lamp with his backhand, summoned the djinn, and described the encounter in the game and the djinn.

 “Order barrier…ancient battlefield?”

The Djinn God was startled after hearing this, and looked at him strangely: "You shouldn't have found the City of Order, right?"

"City of Order?" Mu You was stunned: "You mean..."

"Yes, it is the city of the God of Order, and it is also the last refuge of the Gods before their demise..." The Djinn God sighed with some regret, and explained: "After the God-Eating Beast appeared, the Gods were in chaos, because no one was around at that time. Understanding the characteristics of the God-Eating Beast caused the God-Eating Beast to spread rapidly within the God Clan. No one could stop it. Most of the entire God Clan was infected in a short period of time. In addition, many Gods and gods died in the chaos, and their territory was almost completely destroyed by the God-Eating Beast. Eat it all away.”

"And we, the remaining gods and tribesmen, have no way to go, and in the end we can only retreat to the City of Order."

"In order to guard this last base, the God of Order sacrificed the artifact Book of Order and created a barrier of Order around the City of Order. As long as you are within the barrier, all parasitic behaviors will be forcibly blocked. Only then A safe area has been created for us, the remaining survivors.”

The Djinn God sighed and looked at Mu You: "It's normal that you haven't been seen through by the God-Eating Beast. The barrier of order you feel is actually the 'Book of Order'. Its rules shield the interaction between the God-Eating Beasts. Induction, under its protection, the God-Eating Beasts were unable to detect anything unusual about you."
