Chapter 702 The Dungeon is Gone.
Soon, at the urging of Tielin and Qingzhi.
Late at night, some key members quietly gathered together for a meeting.
The meeting concluded that they would hold back for the time being and gather intelligence on Dragon City.
For example, intelligence on the garrison rotation in Longcheng.
Secretly observe Dragon City's defense system, searching for any weaknesses.
After all, even the strongest fortress has its weaknesses!
Then, wait until the full moon a few days later.
Dragon City will then open the teleportation array to trade with the City of Ruins.
At that time, various forces will converge in Dragon City, marking the most chaotic period.
The force behind the scenes will also join forces with other forces to take advantage of the chaos.
"Alright, in that case, let's hide and wait for the right opportunity!"
........
Late at night, in the wilderness.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
Roars of beasts echoed from all directions.
Normally, this dangerous wilderness would be teeming with life, and hardly anyone would be out and about.
But now, there are more than a dozen figures staggering and fleeing.
"Hold on, we must hold on!" The full moon is getting closer, so the moonlight is still very bright at night, making it clear that the leader is a tall young man.
He appeared to have suffered a severe injury, with only his right arm remaining.
The young man had bloodstains dripping from his clothes as he walked, which made it even more difficult for him to walk.
However, the young man's expression was incredibly determined.
"The city lord has been fighting off those monsters to save us! We must find reinforcements to rescue the city lord!" the young man said firmly.
However, with each step he took, he left a bloody footprint.
"Deputy Commander Shi Zhong, there are no major cities around here. Even if we find someone, it's useless!" Seeing that the young deputy commander was about to collapse but was still continuing to move forward, the people behind him said with a look of despair.
This group consisted of people who had escaped from the underground city.
A few days ago, lava began to gush out of the underground river.
What drove the dungeon dwellers to despair was the large number of monsters emerging from the depths of the magma.
Even though the city lord was powerful, he was too badly injured to withstand the massive number of monsters.
With no other option, they had to go out and seek help.
Unexpectedly, because of the smell of blood on their bodies, they were attacked by a ferocious beast halfway through the journey.
Of the dozens of people who dug out to ask for help, less than a third managed to escape.
In order to cover them, their other companions all perished in the jaws of those ferocious beasts.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
Suddenly, the roars of beasts in the distance grew closer and closer.
"Oh no! The smell of blood on us has attracted the ferocious beasts." Hearing the roars of these beasts, Deputy Commander Shi Zhong's already pale face gradually turned deathly white.
"Everyone, get out of here! I'll hold them off!"
In the critical moment, Shi Zhong only thought for a moment before making a decision.
"What? Deputy Commander? How can this be allowed?" Everyone's expression changed slightly.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Shi Zhong roared, his eyes flashing with ferocity. "Don't forget, the city lord is still waiting for us to rescue him! You must live, only by living can you find reinforcements! Go now!"
As he spoke, he used his remaining right arm to forcefully push away the person who was helping him.
Then, he charged straight at the horde of ferocious beasts that had surrounded him.
However...
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
The beasts roared one after another.
A blink of an eye.
There were already hundreds of ferocious beasts surrounding them, completely encircling Shi Zhong and his companions.
Even if the remaining dozen or so people wanted to escape, there was nowhere to run!
How could a mere dozen or so severely injured people possibly escape the pursuit of hundreds of ferocious beasts?
But at this moment.
"Ow!"
A deafening sound rang out in the night sky.
Suddenly.
Shi Zhong and the others felt as if the whole world had trembled.
The clouds within a radius of a hundred miles were shaken apart and turned into raindrops.
Then, Shi Zhong and the others all stared wide-eyed in shock at something several miles away.
"What is that?" someone exclaimed.
Previously, because the clouds overhead were obscuring the view, and in the panic, they only cared about running away.
Nobody looked at it carefully.
But now, the clouds have been shaken apart.
The moonlight overhead was even clearer.
Everyone saw it.
Several miles away, a majestic mountain stands tall.
In fact, many people had previously thought it was a huge mountain.
But now it's noticed that the mountain seems to be moving.
That was a terrifying behemoth!
"Hiss~ What kind of monster is this, that it could be so huge?" Everyone was so frightened that they stood there, and even forgot how to breathe.
Just as terrified as they were were the hundreds of ferocious beasts.
Even if the ferocious beast has lost its mind.
However, when faced with a creature at the top of the food chain that stands above all living beings...
These ferocious beasts still trembled instinctively.
Then, after a series of mournful cries, the ferocious beasts scattered and fled.
"Let's escape too!" Shi Zhong said, swallowing hard, his voice trembling.
However, long after he finished speaking, he found that no one had moved an inch.
Similarly, he remained in the same spot, without moving an inch.
However, Shi Zhong could clearly feel that his own legs and those of more than ten of his men were trembling.
"Who are you people?" Just as Shi Zhong and the others were in despair, thinking they would die in the jaws of the giant beast, a detached voice suddenly rang out.
Immediately afterwards, everyone noticed that three giant birds were hovering in mid-air, and three figures could be vaguely seen looking down at them.
"Are you from a nearby human city?" Upon seeing people above, Shi Zhong's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "We are residents of a nearby underground city. Our city has been attacked by monsters. Can you help us...?"
Before he could finish speaking, his body went limp and he collapsed.
"Hurry up and save people!"
Before falling into a coma, Shi Zhong only heard this sentence.
He then completely lost consciousness.
When he regained consciousness, he was astonished to find himself lying on a soft bed.
"Where is this?" Shi Zhong looked around blankly.
A spacious and bright house, a comfortable bed, and a faint fragrance.
Could it be that he is already dead, and this is heaven?
After all, his arm was broken before he lost consciousness, and he had been in so much pain that he had lost all feeling in it.
But now, the bleeding has stopped and the wound is almost completely healed.
"Shi Zhong, what exactly happened in the underground city?" Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.
"Rorschach? You're Uncle Rorschach?" Shi Zhong exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Rorschach. "Did you die too? What about the little girl? She died too..."
"What nonsense are you spouting, brat? You're not dead, and neither are we!" Upon hearing someone wish for his granddaughter's death, Luo Xia immediately cursed before explaining, "We're in Dragon City, a paradise on earth. Tell me quickly, what exactly happened in the underground city?"
"The dungeon is gone..."
