Chapter 12: ?City of Despair

　　 The sky is high and the earth is wide.
　　 On the vast ground, two figures stalked forward.
　　 "How far is it, Gustav?"
　　 Pulling aside the knee-high grass, Meng Yang panted heavily, dragging his tired body, looking at Gustav walking in front.
　　 "It's very close!"
　　 An old voice came back from the front.
　　 Gustav was holding a wooden stick that he didn't know where he picked up in one hand, holding his back in the other hand, looking at the front of the wilderness.
　　 "This is the edge area. We are very lucky on this road... Otherwise, I am afraid we will not be able to get here so smoothly."
　　 Gustav said while pulling from the grass next to him for a while, pulling out the roots of two plants, wiping them in his robe, and throwing one to Meng Yang, and one chewing directly in his mouth.
"Ok!"
　　 Meng Yang took the root and took a bite. It was extremely sour, but he was hungry and thirsty all the way, so he had no choice.
　　 Fortunately, he is not hypocritical, but he secretly sighs in his heart that this old man doesn't know how old he is. Seeing that he is thin and thin, he has better physical strength than this young man.
　　 The two have been walking for most of the day since leaving the cave and all the way along the wilderness. Gustav always said that they were close, but Meng Yang felt that they had not seen a ghost shadow for most of the day.
　　 It's really not that easy to travel through another world. Now he hopes that the old iron who has squatted in the classroom can do a bit more and find a place to rest.
　　 During the exchange with Gustav, Meng Yang probably learned some information about the world from Gustav's mouth.
　　 The place he is now in should be regarded as wild, or a place forgotten by the human world of the normal continent. It is often called a land of despair and forgotten land.
　　 The Forgotten Land is located in the north of the two continents. The southeast and east continents are blocked by deserts and endless abysses. The southwest and west continents are separated by ice and snow.
　　 There were no traces of human life at first, but after a beast wave broke out more than a thousand years ago, this land gradually became an exile of criminals, refugees, and political losers on the two continents. They began to build cities here.
　　 In terms of appearance, people in the Eastern Continent are similar to him, while people in the Western Continent tend to be more European and American.
　　Of course, these are also side-effects for Meng Yang. The fundamental thing is to find a place to stand firmly in the other world.
　　 As far as Gustav said, humans in this Forgotten Land have been huddled in a corner for so many years. A pighead is enough to defeat dozens of humans head-on, and the pighead is just one of the bottom creatures here.
The two of them walked all the way through the vast wilderness. I don’t know how long a black line gradually emerged on the edge of the wilderness. As the distance approaches, the black line becomes clearer and clearer, but it is a shadow hidden in pale white. A huge black building in the fog and white woods.
　　 "Here! It's here." Gustav in front of him looked at the building that appeared in his vision, and sighed, his tone seemed to carry countless memories and desolation.
　　 Meng Yang followed behind, and gradually saw that it was a huge city. The city wall ran across the wilderness from east to west, like a great wall. Looking far away, as far as his eyes could be, he couldn't see the two sides of the city wall.
　　 It's just that the whole city has no vitality at all, it's deadly silent, just standing alone among the desolate wilderness.
　　 When the two got closer, Meng Yang gradually saw the white wood outside the black city wall. In fact, it was not a wood at all.
　　 Bones, countless bones.
　　 The skeleton is like a forest.
Ribs as tall and neat as a giant wood are comparable to the skull of a house. Various ribs and leg bones that are several meters long to more than ten meters long are intertwined and densely stacked. From these huge bones, it can be imagined that all that have ever appeared are A group of huge creatures, but now all are buried here.
　　 There seemed to be an annihilation of death and silence in the air. There were no birds, no insects and ants, but Meng Yang always felt a little hairy in his heart.
　　 Looking at Gustav who was already walking in front, Meng Yang couldn't help speeding up his pace. At this moment, Meng Yang suddenly felt something on his ankle, and an unbalanced center of gravity fell to the ground.
　　 Meng Yang lowered his head and saw that he had touched a white silk thread on his feet at some point. He was so tough that he was hooked directly.
　　 crunch
　　 At the moment Meng Yang fell, a strange sound instantly rang from the dense skeletons.
Next to it, like countless bones in the woods, three colorful flower-backed spiders with a body about the size of a washbasin came out with eight long ones. Obviously the silk thread that tripped Meng Yang was the spider they spit out to catch prey. wire.
　　 "Such a big spider?!"
　　Meng Yang watched the appearance of the three spiders, and was shocked instantly. Humans’ fear of insects is almost instinctive, especially when their size reaches a certain level.
　　 The creaking sound continued. After seeing Meng Yang's fall, the three spiders rushed over almost immediately.
　　Meng Yang hurried to untie the spider silks on his ankles, but these spider silks were extremely tough and sticky. When they were attached to his ankles, they stuck tightly and couldn't break free.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
　　 A crisp sound rang in Meng Yang's ears.
　　 I saw that Gustav who was walking in the front had already walked back for some time. The stick in his hand moved quickly, and with a skill that did not fit his old state, he directly flew the three big spiders out.
　　 "This is a flower-backed spider, the most common predator in the Land of Despair. Apart from hunting by spider silk, they are not very powerful."
　　 Gustav kicked again, and stepped on the three spiders again to burst the green pulp, before slowly walking back towards Meng Yang.
　　 "Why are there all kinds of ghosts everywhere in this broken place!" Meng Yang let out a sigh of relief, severely tore a piece of trousers, and broke free from the sticky spider silk.
　　 "This is the case in the Forgotten Place."
Gustav shook his head slightly and sighed, looking at Meng Yanglue's somewhat exhausted look, and said lightly, "I don't think you should disband your summoned creature. If they were there, you might be a lot easier. I have listened. There is a kind of equipment in the mainland, and the superior can let his servants carry him forward."
　　 "Carry forward? Is it a sedan chair? Then... forget it!"
　　 Meng Yang waved his hand weakly, Gustav wondered if he still understood.
　　 With the urination of the players he summoned, not to mention the lack of a sedan chair, but to find the sedan chair and want them to carry themselves forward, hehe, that was too much thinking.
　　 And if I really have to go so far, I am afraid that I will either quit directly, or I will chop my own NPC to see if the equipment will explode.
　　 Of course, the main problem here is that Meng Yang is afraid that a few people will see that this is not a virtual game, but a real alien world.
According to the game's routine, he can't come up with anything to reward him now. After doing plot missions to gain favorability, this is still too illusory. If he can get any gold coins, or experience that can be upgraded, skills and the like are all possible. Okay.
　　 "Be careful, we have reached the city of despair!" Gustav saw Meng Yang saying this, but did not continue to persuade him, but said softly, and walked to the front to lead the way.
　　 After passing this skeletal forest, the city wall is getting closer and closer. Only when you get close will you discover what a magnificent building this is.
　　 I am afraid that the length and width are more than tens of hundreds of kilometers, and the towering city wall stands there like a Great Wall blocking the wilderness.
However, this seemingly magnificent city is now dilapidated. The huge city wall close to 60 meters high on the periphery has already collapsed. In many places, new vegetation has grown, gravel and various debris have fallen everywhere and gathered. It has become a small hill and hillside.
Standing in front of the city wall, Meng Yang could see one of the city gates that seemed to be forcibly squeezed by some kind of giant beast. The traces of countless cracks were clearly visible. Looking up, he could even find a section of the wall that was barely intact. Above, I saw a dozen scratches that seemed terrifying. From the angle and the outside, they should be claw marks left by some giant creature.
　　 Then, he kept looking along the continuous collapsed city wall, he saw more scars, deep pits, claw marks, tooth marks, large or small, densely packed and almost impossible to count.
　　 The collapsed bricks and various broken and broken buildings are even more numerous. Many places are scorched and black. The bricks and the ground seem to be connected together, which are the residues of long-term burning and condensed fire. UU Reading www.udkanshu.com
　　 "Such a city, such a city..."
　　 Even if there are many tall buildings in modern society, but suddenly seeing such a huge and magnificent city in a vast wilderness, Meng Yang still felt a strong shock when he saw everything it might have suffered.
　　 The scene of bones like a forest outside the city wall, and the severe trauma that the city has suffered, even if it is not witnessed, people can imagine what a tragic scene.
　　 "Gustav, what happened here?" Meng Yang asked, turning his head to look at Gustav.
"What else? The city of despair has fallen." Gustav's tone was full of vicissitudes. "This was once our last refuge, but no matter how great the city is, it will eventually fall. Or it’s too late..."
　　 "Sanctuary?" Meng Yang looked at Gustav with inquiries.
　　 "In the Forgotten Land, human beings are nothing but outsiders." Gustav nodded slightly, the sadness on his face thickened, and there was a complex emotion of nostalgia for life and a peaceful view of death.
　　 Meng Yang could feel it from his brief contact with the other party. Gustav seemed a little resigned, but some were unwilling. It is a very contradictory emotion.
　　 Just like when there is no hope, Gustav can calmly accept his fate of becoming a pig-headed food, but when he sees a chance to live, he will have anticipation. It seems that he has a different kind of wisdom and understanding for life and death.
　　 "Let's go in!"
Gustav stood silent for a long time outside the city wall. He turned around and saw Meng Yang who was a little stunned. He sighed softly, "Since the city of despair fell, I have fled like many people and lived in exile for such a long time. I don't know what it will be inside."
