Chapter 432 Tragedy, Murder, Dream City
The post road was wide and smooth, with beautiful scenery on both sides. Li Changxiao amused himself by humming a little tune, teasing passing birds with the breeze, and disturbing fish with stones. He did not feel bored at all along the way.
But as he walked, he realized something was wrong. This post road was straight and wide, and the road was easy to walk on, so there should be a lot of pedestrians. Although it might not be a constant stream of cars and people, there should be at least a few people walking here and there.
However, he had walked for more than ten miles along the way without seeing any human beings. It was terribly quiet, with only the sound of his own humming.
If they were somewhere else, the people passing by would have already started a conversation with the swordsman, either praising his beautiful singing or asking him to shut up because his noise was annoying.
However, today, there is still no one to be seen, which is strange.
Thinking of this, Li Changxiao felt something in his heart and quickened his pace along the post road, taking slightly bigger steps.
It's approaching noon.
A city gate appeared before his eyes, but the city was dead silent, without any sign of life, and the soldiers guarding the city had disappeared.
Judging from the city gate alone, this city is quite large. The plaque engraved with the three characters "Mengze City" is spotless and quite elegant. It is obvious that someone wipes it every year. It should have been a prosperous place.
Otherwise, there would not be the strength to open up such a smooth post road.
When he arrived here, Li Changxiao knew that something was wrong with this city.
He found this place based on the map of Venerable Fengxue, and then discovered strange things one after another. These just proved that the tomb of Venerable Mengdao might be nearby.
He had this premonition in his heart.
Unfortunately, the map of Venerable Fengxue only marked the approximate range. As for the tomb of Venerable Mengdao, where exactly it is located and in what form it exists, it is unknown.
Li Changxiao needs to spend some time and effort to study it carefully and make his own judgment.
He walked to the city gate, sniffed hard, smelled a bloody odor, and frowned immediately.
Looking through the city gate, what I saw was a sea of blood red. The houses, shops, and ground along the street... everything was dyed red.
Flies were flying everywhere, and the buzzing sound of their wings was annoying.
The mice were gnawing on my fingers. They were huge, with rough and hard fur and blood-red eyes. They were not afraid of people or light.
The stench was so strong that it was hard for ordinary people to bear. Li Changxiao narrowed his eyes, gently grasped the hilt of the sword, and went deep into the city.
I didn't expect that in such a big city, such a shocking massacre would happen, and judging from the size of these rats... it might have happened some time ago.
At least for several months.
Li Changxiao walked on the street, looking at the houses that had decayed and been eaten by rats, but he could still vaguely see expressions of fear on their faces, and he felt a hint of anger.
His eyes were tinged with a hint of blue light, and he picked up the remaining fragments of his dream, trying to restore the truth of this murder.
However, most people do not know why they died or who killed them until the last moment before they die.
Li Changxiao felt sad and regretful that such a good life came to an abrupt end. Most people in this city, whether rich or poor, should have their own lives.
But it turned out like this.
In front of a mansion, Li Changxiao picked up such a piece of dream fragment.
The daughter of the mansion is a famous beauty far and wide. She has parents who love her, and a husband who grew up with her and is in love with her. They are going to get married tomorrow.
She was sitting at her dressing table, dressing herself up, joking and joking with the maid who was combing her hair.
Unexpectedly, there was a sudden commotion in the mansion, and the woman went out to check, lifting her heavy skirt... Then, a black shadow flashed by.
The life that was in full bloom died.
Li Changxiao also saw that in a simple little house, a small vendor who had been busy all day outside returned home to find his wife and children sleeping on the warm bed.
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door. The man opened the door, his head rolled to the ground, and before his wife and children could scream, they both died.
……
Too many tragedies have happened in this city. Li Changxiao is used to seeing killings, but his heart is still shrouded in a shadow.
When he arrived at a famous inn in this big city, Li Changxiao finally found some clues in the fragments of his dream.
It is a fragment of a waiter's dream.
About seven months ago, a group of strange guests came to this inn. They were wearing thick black robes and were very tall, a full head taller than ordinary people.
The exposed eyes were very beautiful, giving people a feeling that they were so beautiful that they seemed unreal. When the waiter looked into her eyes, he felt dazed.
It is precisely because of this that the impression they left on me was so deep that the images in this piece of dream fragments were so clear.
When Li Changxiao saw this, he probably knew who the culprit of this tragedy was.
If nothing unexpected happens, he is most likely a strong man from the mermaid tribe.
They were also looking for the tomb of the God of Dreams, or rather, they were looking for something inside the tomb of the God of Dreams.
If Li Changxiao can find this place, they can too.
"I came to this city seven months ago." Li Changxiao murmured, with a flickering light in his eyes.
Although the corpses scattered all over the city looked horrifying, most of the people were unrecognizable and had undergone varying degrees of corruption, decay, and maggots... but they had definitely not been dead for seven months. This proved that it took several months for the mermaids to enter the city and start killing.
Although most mermaids despise life and humans and do not mind killing, in the current situation, they are infiltrators and have a mission.
Killing people indiscriminately is not a wise move for them, and there must be a reason behind it.
Li Changxiao recalled the route he had taken along the way and had some enlightenment in his mind.
The reason why he fought with the rock eagle was that he climbed to the top of its head. At first, he saw that the mountain looked like a sleeping eagle, and he thought it was towering, so he climbed up to drink and enjoy the view.
Didn't find anything wrong.
But now thinking back, the place where the big rock sculpture stood just cut off the post road extending from the city in the middle.
inconvenient traffic.
If you want to go out, you need to climb over the big rock sculpture. If you want to enter the city, you also need to climb over the big rock sculpture.
The big rock sculptures will devour passers-by like chicks pecking at rice.
As a result, the city was destroyed for several months, and no one in the outside world knew about it.
In this case, Li Changxiao's encounter with the giant rock sculpture was not a coincidence, but was bound to happen as long as he was still looking for the tomb of the God of Dreams.
Li Changxiao looked at the corpses all over the ground, and for the first time he felt a little bit of the situation faced by the human race in ancient times.
The plan of expanding the sea, which had once cost a large number of powerful people, gradually lost its effectiveness as the spiritual energy dried up and the area shrank.
The two worlds are very far apart.
The spiritual energy is exhausted, all things are extinguished, and the ferocious beasts in the ancient world have also been fatally weakened. Although the giant rock sculpture can fly to the sky, it is still difficult to cross the endless sea and come to the world of Fuyao.
Unless the mermaids help.
