Handbook of Survival in the World of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 36 35: "Dead City"

The speed of the animal cart was very fast, and within a few days, it had arrived at one of the ten aristocratic families - a city established by the Xia family located on the outskirts of the wasteland, near Yecheng.

This is the first time for Yu Guisi to travel far in his life, and he is curious about the new world as far as he can see, but because of Xia Yaoyi's insistence on hurrying, Yu Guisi can only obediently stay in the car.

Now that it was not far from the destination, Yu Guisi was a little excited and looked at Xia Yaoyi expectantly.

Xia Yaoyi could see the anticipation in his eyes, and knew that he couldn't bear it any longer, so she could only wave her hands, and then continued to close her eyes and meditate.

With his mother's permission, Yu Guisi silently celebrated by shaking his fists in the air.

Opening the curtain, Yu Guisi saw the impregnable fortress in the distant wasteland at a glance.

Yes, Yecheng looks like a fortress.

The general shape of Yecheng is square. The bottom of the tall city wall built with thick rammed earth is laid with rectangular stones of the same size, which are large inside and small outside. There is even a moat tens of meters wide around the periphery.

The invisible ancient enchantment enveloped the entire city, and only the shimmering light on the edge of the enchantment could be faintly seen at high altitude, just like the sparkling lake surface under the sunlight.

The beast cart was getting closer, and when the beast cart was about to reach the moat, the guards of the Xia family on duty at the city gate lowered the moat bridge under the rumbling background sound.

Xia Yaoyi couldn't help but opened her eyes when she heard the voice, and looked out from the gap between Yu Guisi's body and the curtain, with nostalgia in her eyes.

More than ten years have passed, and this familiar city has not changed at all.

Just when the trench bridge landed on the shore, the claws of the domesticated monster also stepped on the trench bridge.The animal cart passed on the huge trench bridge, as small as an ant walking on a leaf.

Yu Guisi poked his head out and looked into the city from the city gate curiously.

Different from the Fengcheng of the Lu family, the Yecheng of the Xia family was probably designed by obsessive-compulsive disorder. The square city is divided into many districts, each district has a specific function, and in the middle is a wide avenue leading directly to The home of Patriarch Xia.

The animal cart traveled unimpeded all the way.

Yu Guisi didn't see the bustling market as expected, the road was very empty, the doors and windows of the merchants on both sides were closed tightly, and there were only guards from the Xia family stationed at intervals on both sides of the street, not even pedestrians.

In the entire huge city, as far as the eye could see, except for these guards, no pedestrians were seen. The guards all stood there expressionless, except for the beast carts that would kneel on one knee and make a slight noise when they passed by. There were no voices elsewhere.

On the spacious avenue, there is only the sound of the rumbling of animal carts, other than that, it is eerily quiet.

In the silence, the sound seemed to be amplified hundreds of times.

Here, like a dead city.

Looking at the hall at the end of the spacious avenue, Yu Guisi couldn't help but think so, swallowed secretly, put down the curtain, retreated to his seat in the carriage, and looked at his mother silently.

Xia Yaoyi clenched her fists tightly, with a strange expression on her face.

His expression changed for a while, he raised his hand as if he wanted to stop the animal cart and turned around, after some debating, he finally put down his hand, and said nothing with his downcast eyes.

What is there to say.

Come here.

It's never been like this here, and it won't change in the slightest for decades, so why should I expect it.
