Throne of Shadows

"Follow."

After paying homage to the statue, 1314 didn't turn his head back. He bowed around the wall and led everyone in.

Bypassing the huge embossed marble wall and walking through the I-shaped porch, a hall divided into three poor roads appeared in front of everyone.Here, the most attractive thing is not the three forked roads leading to nowhere, but the ray of sunshine under the high ceiling.

This ray of light reminded Dongchen of the underground back then.

Turning around and gently holding Christina's hand, looking up, the two smiled knowingly.Obviously they both knew what the other party was thinking.

1314 looked back at them, the fire in his eyes jumped a few times, he turned around and took the lead to walk towards the fork in the center.While walking, I lowered my body even more, the sound of pattering footsteps and my heartbeat, and I didn't return to silence until I was in front of a stone gate covered with strange patterns.

"Just a moment."

Raising his hand to signal the people behind to get out of the way, 1314 knelt down slowly and sang an ethereal incantation.

It was different from the light female voice that was as sandy as before, and everyone couldn't help but be in a daze.

"1314 is a woman?"

No one expected that this undead who behaved so strangely and gloomyly from beginning to end was actually a woman.

woman?

Thinking about the cruel body he saw earlier, Dongchen shook his head dejectedly. For the dead, maybe men and women are not important anymore.

The incantation continued, and with 1314's ethereal and clear voice, the dark stone door gradually lit up, and with a muffled click, it spread up, down, left, and right, revealing a closed stone house.

"All come in."

1314 resumed his hoarse voice, and walked inside the stone gate while talking.Dongchen waved his hand and walked in first.This is a small but tall room with a pitch-black roof, and it doesn't know where it leads.

The team walked in one by one, and with Bujie's last footstep, the stone door slammed shut. Just as everyone was in a daze, the whole room began to descend from slow to fast.Looking at the rapidly moving up walls around him, feeling the blood swelling in his body, Dongchen became more and more curious about what 1314 said.

This curiosity continued until the house, or rather the elevator, stopped.

An open stone gate, an underground city full of gloomy lights, and four wide suspended stone bridges connecting the central trading market.

Such a huge building should have been extremely prosperous, but what Dongchen saw was not like this.

This world is dead silent, and even now, the sound of the stone door opening is still echoing.

It would be better if there were no people, but there are people here, no... not people, but Forsaken.

Dongchen has never had a deep concept of the Forsaken, until just now he did not understand what the Forsaken is.But now, he understands.

The people in the whole city are dead silent, they don't move a muscle.Even the two guards guarding the stone gate didn't pay a second glance, as if Dongchen and the others were air.

1314 took the lead and walked in.

Dongchen and the others hurriedly followed, turned a half circle, stepped on the stone bridge on the west side, and the team went straight to the central trading area.

Through the suspended stone bridge on the road, you can have a panoramic view of the whole city.

There are many Forsaken, but they are like statues, standing or lying down, or posing in various strange poses.Even if they are next to each other, they can be touched by stretching, and they can communicate by opening their mouths, but here it is so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping can be heard.

The whole city echoed with their footsteps.

Looking down, Dongchen's face suddenly changed.

The black and green liquid outside finally found its source, and the entire underground circle was full of this dark green liquid. Four arch bridges that were slightly smaller than the current feet connected to the four directions, and it was unknown where they led.

However, these dark green liquids keep bubbling, and occasionally dead bodies even float out of them.

Annie tightly grasped Christina's shoulders, her little face was pale and her eyes were tightly closed.Ai Wei'er was not much better, if it wasn't for Vegeta and several King Kongs surrounding him, he would have softened a long time ago.As for Begobird, who was hanging on Bujie and trembling from time to time, just look at his swallowing throat, and you will know how uncomfortable he is now.

The team was still going down, and when they passed the trade zone, Bei Gebord, who was so sad that he was dying, suddenly swayed to Dong Chen's side: "Gudong... There are good things here, really good things."

"You go buy it."

Looking left and right, looking at the Forgotten who were standing or sitting by the shelves, Begobird quickly shook his head, with a resolute denial on his face: "No... I won't go."

"What kind of currency is used here?" With a vigorous shake of his hand, Dongchen broke away from the idiot's pull, and rushed to 1314 in two quick steps.

"The real thing, or the magic core."

"Magic core?"

An amber crystal was spread out in the palm of her hand, and Christina, who was supporting her, cast a golden light on her blue eyes: "Amber in good times, so beautiful! I really want to..."

Feeling the fiery gaze behind him, Dongchen shook his head helplessly, reached out his hand to dig out in his arms, and took out a blue wafer: "Change?"

1314 glanced sideways at the blue crystal in Dongchen's hand, then turned back to look at the amber magic core in his hand, and stretched out his bone hand to change it.

The obtained amber magic core fiddled with it twice, and threw it behind casually. Dongchen looked at 1314 asking: "Where did it come from?"

"Quack, let's talk about you first."

"Bugs." A look of doubt flashed in his heart. Could it be that this group of Forsaken people don't even know such simple common sense?

1314's withered and yellow finger bones scratched her fleshless chin, making a soft crunching sound, which made people feel chills when she heard it, but she herself didn't seem to notice it.

"The bug isn't dead yet?" 1314 suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"No." Dongchen fixed his eyes on 1314, trying to see something in her eyes.It's a pity that there is nothing there except two flames.

Shaking his head slightly, 1314 sighed and continued to walk forward: "Not dead? Hehe, what does life and death have to do with us..."

The inaudible muttering behind him made Dongchen frowned and thought, what happened to these Forsaken people?Don't they ever go out.

Thinking about the dilapidated city, and the current underground world that has almost given up high technology, this possibility is really possible.

Both parties walked forward slowly with thoughts, the crowd walked through the lonely streets all the way, walking through the atmosphere of corruption and corruption, if there were not those few flowers on the other side, they might have already fallen ill, especially when observing the green river at close range Even more so.A rotting corpse that turned upside down suddenly, missing half of its chin, almost made Begobold vomit out in disgust, and his face turned gray and white on the spot.Fortunately, people are resistant, and it is not so strange to experience a lot of things.

Just as everyone gradually got used to the atmosphere here, 1314 stopped in his tracks.

Looking at her for a moment, two rows of skeleton sticks stood quietly at the intersection with machetes and shields, guarding a spacious and bright passage.

"Bring here the necklace."

Without further ado, he took out the necklace from his pocket.

1314 took it and walked forward, chatted with the two skeleton sticks at the head, and returned it.Then he waved his hand to signal the crowd to move on.

The motionless skeleton, following the progress of the crowd, tilted its head little by little. The pale skull kept looking at the crowd with two balls of soul fire. With the sound of clicking, the whole head turned 360 degrees.

That weird gesture made Annie scream out of fright, and then she closed her eyes without fear.

The skeletons did not speak, but continued to watch.Those empty pupils with a faint light made anyone looking at them feel uncomfortable.The terrible thing is that this tunnel is still very long, and there are still many skeletons.

"Brother." Annie looked at Dong Chen timidly, her big watery eyes were filled with tears.

"It's okay, I'm here." Comfortingly wiping the corners of the little angel's eyes, Dongchen blocked the skeleton's sight with his own body.

The crowd moved forward silently until they reached a hall filled with purple crystal lamps.Dongchen didn't pay attention to the other things in the hall, because his eyes were already attracted by a woman, who was exactly the same as the one in the previous mural.
