Chapter 437: The City of Lamentations
Crack… crack… crack… Booom !!!
The sound of the floor being broken was heard. Moments later, an explosion occurred and a shadow flew through the created hole.
The shadow fell to the ground before its image could be seen.
"Fellow Allston, you finally left. I was already thinking that you were dead, it's been two days since you were taken by the Ent" Dikrik commented casually. He did not think that Liu Yang would die easily.
"I just had a few problems down there" Liu Yang replied awkwardly and vaguely. He would not tell what he saw inside the Ent.
"Are we going to keep walking? I'm already a little tired after waiting so long" Dikrik sat and stopped this time. He didn't have much to do, so he did it.
"All right. We will continue" Liu Yang asked Dikrik to show the way.
The pair started walking and the people in the back followed them again. They made the best possible choice and it saved their lives.
During the walk, the group saw some familiar faces. They were the ones who were part of the group, but they left after the fight started and some even left after Liu Yang was taken away by the Ent.
But they were all in very different situations. Their bodies were pierced by the branches and all their blood was absorbed, they all died.
Those who were in the group of Liu Yang and Dikrik were the luckiest after seeing this scene. They made the right choice.
…
Several days later ...
"Fellow Allston, I think this is it" Dikrik pointed to the small mountain in front of them.
The small mountain was a place covered with branches and dry leaves, its size was like that of an adult elephant. There was nothing special about the place, nor did it look like any kind of entrance or anything.
"Dikrik, how are we going to enter the city? I don't see any kind of entrance here" Liu Yang looked around and saw nothing.
"The entrance is this way" Dikrik walked the small mountain and hit it three times.
toc… toc… toc…
An opening appeared and a face was shown.
"To enter the city, you need to pay five hundred gold coins. Coins can be placed there" The man spoke. He didn't hit the bushes and went straight to the point.
An opening appeared and a square box was shown.
"Here" Dikrik put a leather bag inside the box and waited.
"You can come in" The man on the other side spoke.
The branches and leaves were broken before a door was opened.
"Fellow Allston, I hope to meet you again in the Wild Region" Dikrik waved his hand before going through the door.
The door closed seconds later and the man closed the opening.
Liu Yang was next.
toc… toc… toc…
…
"This place is very interesting ..." Liu Yang walked through the dark tunnels under the ground.
After entering the small mountain, a long dark, dimly lit corridor appears in Liu Yang's view. He had to go down the long corridor to get to the city.
The long, narrow corridor had no creatures on the watch, as there was no need for creatures on the spot.
After almost half an hour of walking in circles, Liu Yang finally saw a light at the end of the corridor.
Looking towards the city, Liu Yang saw that the place was majestic and very large. But at the same time, it's a little scary.
As the city was located several hundred meters underground, the view was a little different than normal.
Roots. Millions of roots moving around the city can be seen through the barrier created by thousands of people together.
Since normal barriers cannot be activated on the spot, only skills. Thousands of people came together and formed the barrier.
Each hour, these people switch places with others as a relay.
The City of Lamentations was divided into ten areas. An area for each kingdom and a neutral zone that does not influence the nine kingdoms. This was to avoid problems.
The zone that Liu Yang would go to was the Waetor Kingdom, as he had to meet people from this kingdom.
Walking through the wide, crowded streets, Liu Yang felt that the mood in the city was heavy and deadly.
Looking at the streets it was possible to see dead and rotten bodies, many of them were beheaded or with some part missing. On the walls of houses and buildings, bodies were hanging like the bodies on the streets.
The name City of Lamentations was because of this scene. Those who regret wanting to come to the city.
The city didn't have a lot of rules, because there were no guards or anything. The strongest ruler and the weak lowered his head or was killed.
An example of this was all the bodies on the floor and the walls.
The sight that Liu Yang had during the walk was horrible. He saw men and women being tortured, beheaded, and even raped.
While they were suffering, other groups looked at them as if they were seeing some kind of fun.
Liu Yang went through all these scenarios regardless of what he was seeing.
Everyone who goes to the City of Lamentations knows the risks they will face.
His walk lasted only a few minutes.
A group of people surrounded him. Each of them had fierce and disdainful looks when they looked at Liu Yang.
"Hehe… A newbie in the city. Newbie, you need to follow the city rules. Newbies need to go through veterans' initiation." A burly, scarred man commented in a threatening tone.
"Hahaha!!! That's right. Newbie, you need to follow the city rules" Another commented.
"It looks like that idiot Pitt has found a new target to torment. He's really a very unlucky newbie." Someone on the side commented.
"It will be fun to see what happens next" Another commented.
…
Many sarcastic and pitying comments echo in the surrounding areas.
But most were finding it amusing what would happen to Liu Yang.
Liu Yang just ignored them all and kept walking as if they were just air.
"Hey!!! Newbie, are you ignoring me ?? !!!! " The burly man screamed angrily. He reached out to pull Liu Yang.
Before he could touch Liu Yang, something happened.
"Arhhh !!!!!!!!" The burly man screamed in pain before falling to the ground in agony.
"Somebody help me!!!! Make this pain stop!!!" He rolled over and screamed in despair.
His body was hurting a lot, but he didn't suffer any attack.
Blood started to drain from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ear.
"Argg !!!!" The burly man's screams startled everyone in the place.
Those who surrounded Liu Yang, but did nothing, backed away with fear on their faces.
Liu Yang walked again after the group stopped preventing him.
The corpulent man's body bled long before it melted like a rotten puddle.
"It's poison !!!!! That guy is a poison master!!!!!!" Someone screamed when they realized what had happened.
