Ye Chen was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'll follow you to the center of the ancient city."
This decision seemed simple, but it was actually more dangerous. There were many Yao beasts just outside the city walls, and the path to the center of the ancient city would be even more difficult.
If he didn't go, he could only wait for death here, or break through to the Demigod Realm before he could leave.
"Let's go!"
Bai Yijun's expression was indifferent. She didn't look at Ye Chen again. Her figure moved, and she jumped down from the rock. Her black high-heeled leather boots made a low sound as she stepped on the metal street.
Ye Chen glanced at the two dead Demigod Yao beasts. His eyes flashed, but he didn't refine them in the end. Instead, he followed behind Bai Yijun about six meters away.
Tap, tap, tap …
The sound of high-heeled boots echoed quietly in the silent ancient city ruins.
Ye Chen followed behind silently. After walking for a while, he realized that Bai Yijun seemed to have a goal in mind, as if she knew where to go. He couldn't help but ponder for a moment, then said slowly, "Where is this place?"
Bai Yijun's delicate figure walked in front of him, her long black hair flowing behind her like a waterfall. She said in a cold and calm voice, "Don't ask so many questions. Just follow me."
Ye Chen's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice, "You came to the debris of the stars for this ancient city. There must be something you need here, or a great treasure.
Actually, it doesn't matter if you tell me. With my strength, I can't compete with you at all. I just want to know more about this place. If you encounter any problems, I can help. "
Bai Yijun didn't answer immediately. She walked for a while, then said coldly without looking back, "This place is called the 'Dark City.' It's a ruin from before the Great Calamity.
The so-called Dark City was the capital of the Dark World before the Great Calamity! "
Her voice was somewhat erratic. "The Dark City wasn't just a capital, but a symbol. It had many sub-cities, and the Dark City in front of you is a third-class sub-city!"
"The last time the gods suppressed the Dark World, the Ancient World had 108 Tier 3 Cities of Darkness, 108 Tier 2 Cities of Darkness, and 108 Tier 1 Cities of Darkness!"
"Every dark city has a Shard of Darkness. If you collect all 108 of them, you can combine them into a powerful weapon, a powerful body, or a precious spirit medicine …. The 108 Shards of Darkness in this tier-3 dark city can be combined into a god-class weapon or a secret manual!"
Hearing those words, Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat. Based on the information he had obtained from the prehistoric civilization in his previous life, there were records of the Dark Citadel. The Dark Citadel had been around for a very long time, and whenever the Dark Citadel was complete, its defensive and offensive systems would be able to withstand the bombardment of a Semi-Divinity realm expert!
Only a Divine Spirit Realm expert would be able to break open this Third Grade Dark City!
If it was a second-grade dark city, the central control system would be even more powerful, and even a Divine Spirit Realm expert wouldn't be able to break it.
Unfortunately …
It was said that during the Great Calamity, the Dark Citadel had been destroyed by many powerful gods, and most of them had been destroyed. Only a small number of them had survived, and most of them had been occupied by powerful experts!
The construction of the Dark Citadel was extremely mysterious. As long as the defensive system was activated, even a Semi-Divinity realm expert would be helpless against it!
This was equivalent to having an additional Divine Spirit Realm barrier!
Ye Chen pondered for a moment before looking at Bai Yijun and asking, "How many Shards of Darkness do you have?"
Bai Yijun replied coldly, "You don't have to worry about that."
Ye Chen's lips twitched as he looked at the weeds in the surroundings. "This Dark Citadel has been destroyed, so I wonder if the defensive system at the center of the city is still intact. If the spatial gate is at the center of the city, do you know how to enter it?"
Bai Yijun replied coldly, "I have a map of this place, so you don't have to worry about it. All you need to do is follow me closely.
This City of Darkness was destroyed during the Great Calamity, but there are still some remnants of demonic beasts left in it. However, given the level of this City of Darkness, the strongest demonic beast I encounter is only at Semi-Divinity realm. I should be able to deal with it easily. "
Ye Chen didn't say anything else.
The two of them walked along the street and turned a corner. On the left, there was a deep path that led into the distance. Looking at the end of the path, it seemed to lead to the inner city.
On the right, there was a dead end.
Bai Yijun didn't even look at it as she walked to the right.
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment. He frowned slightly, but he didn't ask anything. He followed behind her and walked to the dead end. However, he saw that Bai Yijun didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. Instead, she walked straight to the wall.
Ye Chen's eyes flashed as he focused his gaze. His expression changed slightly. He saw Bai Yijun's figure walk through the wall as if she was walking into water. She didn't even activate any mechanism before walking in.
"It's actually an illusion …" Ye Chen smiled bitterly in his heart. Such a scene had happened in the Atlantis civilization before. He took a step forward and walked into the wall. Before he could see the scene in front of him clearly, he heard the sound of an intense battle.
Ye Chen looked up and saw that in a straight and long passage, there were more than a dozen monsters with different figures. All of them looked ferocious and violent.
In the middle of this group of monsters, there was a white figure like a midnight lily. She held an exquisite pistol with flowing light in her hand. Her expression was calm. She didn't even look at the monsters that were pouncing on her from both sides. With a wave of her arm, her speed was as fast as lightning. A bullet accurately hit the monster between its eyebrows, directly killing it.
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
Continuous sounds of attacks sounded in this spacious passage, accompanied by bursts of monster roars. Finally, as the sound of a gunshot disappeared, the originally fierce roars of the monsters also quieted down.
The air was a little more gloomy.
Ye Chen was slightly stunned. It wasn't until he heard the crisp sound of Bai Yijun's high-heeled boots that he came back to his senses. Immediately, he followed her. His gaze swept over and saw that at the caliber of her pistol, there was a hot stream of air that burned and distorted the air …
"Demigod level technological weapon?"
Ye Chen was shocked. The same power, but the price difference between a technological weapon and a cold weapon was huge. The price of this Demigod level pistol was probably thousands, or even tens of thousands of Demigod Stones!
If it was a normal Demigod level technological weapon, the price would be thousands. However, Ye Chen realized that Bai Yijun's pistol could kill any monster in one shot. It was definitely not a beginner level Demigod level weapon. It might be a pinnacle Demigod level technological weapon!
The price was a little scary …
"Where did this woman come from?"
Ye Chen frowned. To have such a powerful Demigod level technological weapon, it was not easy. The energy consumption of a Demigod level technological weapon was also very high. Most of them absorbed the divine power in their body and compressed it into energy bullets!
The ratio of absorption was usually one in a thousand or one in a hundred.
When Ye Chen passed by a dozen Demigod monster corpses, he hesitated for a moment. Then, he decisively decided not to stay and followed Bai Yijun.
The two of them walked a very long distance in this passage. Then, they came to a turn. When they turned the corner, Ye Chen immediately heard the cold sound of a gunshot.
Poof!
Poof!
Poof!
One by one, the monsters in the passage were killed. Most of them were Demigods. Only a few were pinnacle Demigods.
The two of them passed through one passage after another. After killing hundreds of Demigod monsters, Bai Yijun paused for a moment and took a deep breath. Then, with a flip of her hand, she took out a pale golden stone from a Foldable Space Bag.
A Demigod Stone!
Ye Chen glanced at it with a strange look in his eyes.
Bai Yijun clenched her hand. A rich blue light emerged from her fingertips and surrounded the Demigod Stone. After a moment, the stone lost its luster and turned into dust, flowing away from her hand …
"Let's go!" Bai Yijun said coldly.
Ye Chen followed behind her. The two of them quickly passed through the passage, killing countless monsters along the way. Finally, they arrived in front of an iron door.
This majestic door was completely black. It seemed to be made of a special metal. The surface was rough and there were spots of blood. It looked desolate and simple.
Bai Yijun was stunned. She seemed a little surprised. She frowned slightly and stopped in front of the door.
Ye Chen walked to her side. A faint fragrance floated to the tip of his nose. His eyes moved slightly. He asked, "Why don't you go?"
Bai Yijun looked at him calmly. After a moment, she said in a low voice, "The map is incomplete. It only shows this."
Ye Chen couldn't help but be speechless.
Bai Yijun thought for a moment. "This iron door doesn't look completely broken. I don't know if there's a defense system on it. If it's accidentally activated, I can survive, but not you."
Ye Chen nodded. "Then you go first. I'll watch from behind."
Bai Yijun glanced at him unhappily. "Hurry up and think of a way."
Ye Chen shook his head. "There's no way. We can only try to force our way in. This dark city has been around for a long time. The materials haven't rotted, but the defense system won't be too powerful. I'll wait behind. If something happens, you retreat."
"You watch the show. I'll risk my life?"
Bai Yijun glanced at him and snorted. She didn't want to say more. She said coldly, "That's it. You move aside first."
Ye Chen waited for her to finish speaking. He immediately moved a few hundred feet away and shouted, "I — AM — DONE!"
Bai Yijun's slender fingers tightened on the pistol. She took a deep breath and told herself to calm down. Calm down …
She stared at the black door. She took a few steps back and pulled the trigger. With a bang, a transparent beam of light pierced through the air and shot out.
Bang!
It hit the black door.
The entire passageway fell silent in an instant.
They seemed to have forgotten to breathe.
After a moment —
Weng ~ ~ ~
The silent door that had stood there for countless years suddenly exploded with a layer of black light. Then, some of the black bulges around the door lit up. A mechanical voice said coldly, "Intruder. Activate the highest defense system. Kill without mercy!"
As the voice fell, more than ten beams of light shot out from the iron door and rushed toward Bai Yijun.
