Chapter 027: Fantasy City (11)

Two strange monsters, two very different powers, their howls confronted, twisted and blossomed in mid-air, turning from invisible sound into tangible damage.
  The demon’s body was torn apart, like an animal being eaten by piranhas, the flesh and bones under the dark gray skin were exposed, it was gradually stripped of its flesh, leaving a skeleton intact, falling to the ground and scattering into pieces.
  The tree monster’s body emerged countless etchings, from the trunk to the branches above, these marks are like unhealable wounds, and continue to deepen the damage to the tree monster.
  The situation was about to evolve into a great situation where the two monsters would die together. However, darkness, untimely descended ……
  This darkness can engulf everything and envelop everything, whether indoors or outdoors, even if the light source is close at hand, it does not help.
  This time, the darkness did not ring with the many complex and terrifying sounds, but this obviously had nothing to do with the fact that they were covering their ears with their hands, because a few seconds later, there was still a very clear whisper that came into each of their ears.
  ”Meddling inferior gods, you will pay for this ……”
  At the end of these words, the darkness then passed, and the brightness returned to the eyes of the crowd. They stood up and faced the dead tree to see just what the monster would mutate into.
  Feng Bujue was the first to notice the anomaly, the tree did not look stronger at all, on the contrary, the damage it had just suffered was becoming more and more obvious on it, its branches were falling off and turning into ashes.
  ”Are you the inferior god mentioned by that voice just now?” Feng Bujue actually walked up and spoke to the monster.
  Before the other four could react, the tree monster had already spoken and replied, “Humans …… went to find out the key and restore the seal.”
  ”We have found the Key of Fire.” Feng Bujue said, “What exactly happened to this city? Who is the culprit of all this? Where is the Key of Wood?” He asked three questions in a row.
  ”Samadhiel …… [Lord of Time], one of his servants, betrayed his master, so he was robbed of his divine power and banished in the endless river of time ……” The tree monster’s branches had by now melted Almost, its trunk also began to dust: “A hundred-footed worm, dead but not stiff …… Samadhiel did not tie his hands, he used all his residual power to pull the city out of reality and hide here. This place is no longer a part of the River of Time …… but a puddle independent of the river.” The bark on the tree monster’s face has also begun to peel off: “To escape the sanctions of the Lord of Time, he summoned the Devil’s Gate, and once the seal on that gate was unlocked, allowing the city to connect with the demonic realm, it meant that this place had fallen into the territory of the [Head of the Demons], and the Lord of Time would have no right to govern.
  A part of the humans made a deal with Samaudil to save their lives as long as they helped them unlock the door. But the moment the demons poured out of the gate, Samordir immediately abandoned those people and greedily swallowed all the humans in the city into darkness before the demons could take food from them.”
  ”Only a few survivors managed to escape from the demon gate with two keys.” The tree monster had nearly completely withered by this point, but it persisted: “Samordir himself could not touch the keys or the seals, nor could he devour humans who were near either of them, but the demons could …… so he promised those demons that every time At the end of the ‘cycle’, a portion of the power was gifted to them through the darkness, on the condition that the demons would go and find and kill every living person in the city to ensure that no one could regain the seal ……”
  ”Where is the Key of Wood?” Feng Bujue asked again, he had a very bad feeling that this bridge in front of him would probably result in this NPC nature monster hiccuping right when he got to the key part.
  ”The one who holds the Wooden Key died underground ……” the tree monster returned: “I have opened the path, when I die, you can walk down …… “Its mouth finally also turned into dust and crumbled down, and a few seconds later, starting from the trunk of the tree, all the way to its roots that extended underground, all crumbled into black powder in a flash.
  Although the tree monster is dead, but it crashed through the large mouth of the ground, into a passage entrance to the underground.
  [The current quest has changed and the main quest has been updated]
  After the prompt sounded, the quest displayed in the quest bar had changed to: [Enter the passage and find the Wooden Key]
  Feng Bujue looked back at the crowd: “Let’s go to the daily necessities shelf to see if there is a flashlight before we go down.”
  The others just heard such a big plot, the brain is still a bit confused, frozen in place. After a few seconds, Wang sighs the first to ask: “Uh …… Jue brother, what is this situation? Can you give translation translation?”
  Feng Bujue was already walking towards the area selling daily necessities on the first floor: “After that showdown just now, plus the words in the dark, I realized that this tree and the other monsters we’ve seen so far aren’t all the way there.” The four walked behind Feng Bujue while listening to his narrative, “Seeing that it was likely to die soon, I grabbed those three questions. It also did its due diligence as an NPC, after contributing a battle scene, explaining the plot, giving hints, providing another pathway, and then sadly taking its lunchbox.”
  He walked over to a fallen shelf and casually picked up a box on the ground, unwrapping it as he said, “According to what Big Tree said …… only people who are in the vicinity of the key or the Devil’s Gate don’t disappear without a trace like the rest of the humans in the city. This explains the situation in the police station and shows that the Key of Wood is not in this empty shopping center.
  Oh, and also …… I think a few of us should be the exception, perhaps because we are players and therefore don’t fall into the ‘human’ category in this time and space, otherwise we would have been wiped out by Samadhiel as soon as we entered the script.”
  Feng Bujue paused for a second and added: “To say that the situation at hand is actually quite clear …… that the big BOSS of this script will strengthen the map-wide demons through darkness once every thirty minutes or so, he himself will probably not show himself, he may not even have ‘entity’, but the demons are a constant threat.
  The purpose of the BOSS is to kill all those who can use the key, when this space will be forever connected to the demon world, and as long as he hides here, the Time Lord will not be able to hunt him down.
  And the way we get through is to find two keys, return to the Devil’s Gate and try to restore the two unlocked seals on the door. After success, this space will no longer be connected to the so-called ‘Demon Realm’, and the guy called Time Lord will be able to step in and tear Samadhiel to pieces.”
  ”This worldview is unheard of ……,” Wang sighed the way.
  Feng Bujue had already found several flashlights, this time intact, but without batteries inside: “These can be used, take two each, be prepared, and find a few more batteries.” He added: “Oh yes, I saw that there are hockey sticks, baseball sticks, golf sticks and so on in the sports goods area …… that kind of thing should not have any equipment conditions, we can hand one.”
  In this way, five people will arm themselves, this time everyone has at least one ordinary quality cold weapons in hand, lonely also found in the kitchen supplies area than Wang sighs the fruit knife in the hands of a few long Western-style kitchen knife, the group also took a. Little Sigh finally eliminated the fruit knife that he got in the newbie tutorial.
  Only Long Ao Min did not choose a longer and narrower western-style kitchen knife, he took a Chinese kitchen knife, and is a particularly heavy bone chopping knife, it seems that he feels that this more weighty weapons more reliable and handy.
  After doing this, it has taken nearly ten minutes, considering that there may still be monsters under the ground, as well as the time limit of the darkness descending, the crowd did not continue to delay, led by Long Ao Min into the passage.
  When they first entered the underground, they felt that the surrounding area was still very narrow, with dirt under their feet, and the way forward was all slopes, and there were no lights below. However, after walking for a while, they came to a relatively spacious sewer in which people could stand up straight. It seemed that the tree monster had only opened a certain section of the sewer and the shopping center underground, and the next path was the one taken by the person holding the Wooden Key. Since the tree had clearly indicated that the holder had “died” down there, the possibility of some kind of monster lurking in the sewers was high.
  The cylindrical sewer gives a strange sense of oppression, the space around it seems to be shrinking all the time, but of course this is only an illusion, the real bad senses are the unpleasant smell here, as well as the water beneath the feet of those floating in the water, those who can not bear to look at the dirty things. The lonely girl’s face was ugly after coming down, holding a flashlight and looking ahead, not shining at all the things under her feet, walking behind the lonely little brother.
  Long Ao Min one hand shield one hand baseball bat, walking in the front of the team, if there is any monster suddenly scurry out, he will definitely in the first time a burst of stick greeting up, in case the stick smash does not die, and then copy the chopper to fill the knife. Feng Bujue and Wang Sigh Zhi are walking in the middle of the team, always ready to support Long Ao Min.
  This section of the sewer only one access, they came in the left side of the channel has been buried, only some gaps and small pipes in the wall still have water inflow, so the possibility of a monster will attack from the rear is very small, let lonely and lonely walk in the last relatively safe.
  The crowd went forward in this way for five or six minutes.
  ”Look at that.” Long Ao Min suddenly stopped and said, “There it is, the dead body.”
  Feng Bujue stretched his neck so that his vision was higher than Long Ao Min’s shoulder and found that a distance of ten meters or so ahead was the end of this section of sewer. A closed iron gate blocked the way, and the water continued through the gap at the bottom of the gate. Right there in the corner, the light of the flashlight illuminated a corpse.
