Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife

The group walked along the path behind the church, cautiously heading towards the City Lord's Mansion. On the way, they tried to avoid those dark corners where invisible beings might be hidden, and at the same time, they were alert to possible abnormal situations around them.

As they gradually approached the City Lord's Mansion, the atmosphere around them became more and more oppressive, and groups of footsteps passed by from time to time.

When they arrived at the door of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Shi climbed over the eaves next to him and carefully observed. He saw that the door of the City Lord's Mansion was closed, and there were complex patterns carved on the door, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. Zhang Shi saw that there was no danger, so he walked to the door and found a door lock hanging on the door. The door lock looked like a stone with a hole in it, and there were some patterns carved on it, full of the breath of time.

"This door lock is very complicated, and it may take some skills to open it." Zhang Shi said.

Zhao Feng walked up, studied the door lock carefully, and said, "I'll try to crack it with brute force."

As he said that, he stepped back a few steps, and rushed forward without waiting for Zhang Shi to stop him, and punched the door lock. With a "click", the door lock was smashed open.

Everyone looked at Zhao Feng in surprise. They didn't expect that this seemingly ancient and mysterious stone lock could be broken so easily. Zhao Feng smiled and scratched his head: "I was just trying it, but I didn't expect it to be successful."

Zhang Shi pushed open the door, and the group walked into the City Lord's Mansion carefully. It was dark inside, with only a few night pearls flashing a faint light. They walked along the corridor, always alert to possible dangers.

Suddenly, a black shadow passed by them at an astonishing speed. Everyone exclaimed and quickly drew their swords to be on guard. However, the black shadow did not stop to attack them, but continued to flee forward. In a trance, Zhang Shi saw that the black shadow showed a tail.

"What is that?" Zhao Feng asked nervously.

Zhang Shi shook his head: "I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing. We have to be careful."

They continued to move forward and came to a spacious hall. There was a huge round table in the center of the hall, and several people in black robes were sitting around it. Their faces were covered by huge hoods, revealing only two sinister eyes. There was some bloody flesh on the round table, and one of the black-robed people was feasting on it. The blood and minced meat dyed all the seats around him red, which looked both terrifying and disgusting.

"Oh, there are strangers."

A low voice came from the black-robed man.

Zhang Shi and others looked at these people vigilantly, and their hearts were full of vigilance. They knew that these people could eat unscrupulously in the dangerous city lord's mansion, either they were extremely powerful, or they were the source of danger, or both, but in any case, these guys were the key to their action this time.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Zhang Shi asked.

The black-robed man smiled slightly, and one of them stood up and walked to Zhang Shi: "We are the guardians of the Fog City and the rulers here. You barged in rashly, is there something wrong?"

Zhang Shi did not answer his question, but asked directly: "Where is the mother-in-law? Has she been arrested by you?"

The smile on the black-robed man's face disappeared instantly, as if Zhang Shi's words violated some taboos. He looked at Zhang Shi coldly: "You dare to come to the City Lord's Mansion to cause trouble. You really don't know how high the sky is. However, since you are here, don't think about leaving alive."

As he said, he waved his hand, and the black-robed people around him stood up and rushed towards Zhang Shi and others. At the same time, there was a rustling sound around, and the invisible existence appeared. They seemed to respond to the instructions of the black-robed man, and suddenly appeared and rushed towards Zhang Shi and others.

Faced with the sudden attack of the black-robed man, Zhang Shi and his party responded quickly and drew their swords to meet the enemy. The hall was suddenly filled with flashing swords and the sound of metal collisions. Zhao Feng was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. His battle axe swung and swung, and each attack was accompanied by a whistling sound. He killed the invisible beings that approached one by one, and no monster dared to approach.

However, these black-robed men seemed to be monsters of a higher level. They were not afraid of their attacks. Even when they were hit by the sharp blades, they only shook slightly and then rushed up quickly. Their movements were agile and strange, as if they were not restricted by the conventional laws of physics, which made Zhang Shi and others feel more pressured.

"These guys are not simple, everyone be careful!" Zhang Shi reminded loudly.

At this time, a black-robed man suddenly disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he had come behind Zhang Shi, with a sharp blade in his hand flashing with cold light, pointing directly at his vitals. Zhang Shi was startled, but he did not panic. With his keen intuition and extraordinary skills, he used the instant shadow step to dodge the attack at the critical moment.

At the same time, Zhang Shi used a shadow slash to cut off a black-robed man who was trying to sneak attack from behind Ge Dalong.

The other people in the team also faced powerful enemies. A black-robed man released a black mist, trying to confuse Zhao Feng's vision, but Zhao Feng, with his thick skin and flesh, withstood the opponent's attack and dispersed the black mist. He finally found the opponent's trail and knocked him away with an axe.

However, the black-robed men had a strong self-healing ability. Under their black robes were transparent bodies stained with blood. The strands of bright red flesh granulations were like tough silk threads, stitching the broken bodies back together. Not long after, they recovered their fighting power.

The battle lasted for a long time, and both sides were in a stalemate. Although Zhang Shi and others were very powerful, the number of black-robed people was large and their strength was not bad. More and more invisible beings gathered in the city lord's mansion, which made them feel full of pressure and gradually became powerless.

"This is not a solution. We must find a breakthrough!" Zhang Shi panted and shouted to his teammates.

At this moment, a black-robed man suddenly stopped attacking, his eyes fell on the old Duan in Zhang Shi's hand, and a greedy light flashed in his eyes.

"That knife..." the black-robed man said in a low and seductive tone, "It seems to contain extraordinary power. Give it to me, I can let you leave safely."

Zhang Shi held the old Duan in his hand tightly. This sword has been his right-hand man since he entered the wilderness world, and has saved him from danger countless times. He knew that this was not just a weapon, but also a symbol of his belief and determination.

"Don't even think about it!"

Zhang Shi rejected the black-robed man's proposal without hesitation, and his eyes revealed firmness and unyielding.

The black-robed man sneered, seemingly not surprised by Zhang Shi's refusal. "Since you are so stubborn, don't blame us for being rude." He waved his hand, signaling the other black-robed men to continue attacking, and he also joined the battle, aiming directly at the old Duan in Zhang Shi's hand.
