Xingyue, another world recasts the glory of human nature

If those hunters were really righteous people, the situation at this time would be difficult to say.

In the early morning of the next day, a team of more than 300 people gathered in a mountainous area outside Yanan City.All he could see were burly warriors over two meters tall and wearing gorgeous heavy armor.

In front of the team is a path shrouded in mist. If Arash's clairvoyance hadn't been able to see through the mist that persists all year round, it would have been difficult for ordinary people to find it.As Kazama issued the order, this team of [-] people began to line up and enter the trail.

After going around and around in the winding path, everyone soon came to the end of the path.

Countless huge gravels blocked the way forward, and the gravels were covered with green moss, seeming to blend in with the surrounding environment.

There was no need for Kazama to say more, Hohenheim raised the elemental sword in his hand.

Under the influence of elemental magic, the hard gravel began to deform, turning into soft mud and flowing towards the front.

Soon, a passage that could accommodate ten people walking side by side appeared in front of the team.The soft mud became hard again under the burning of the flames, turning into a flat slope.

There is also mist overflowing from behind the passage, but it is not gray-white, but light yellow, with a strong rancid smell.

Ordinary people will immediately become dizzy if they breathe air into their lungs.And if you stay here for a long time, you will definitely die miserably.

This situation had been planned before departure. Hohenheim took out the pills and asked everyone in the team to swallow them.

After taking the specially prepared medicine, the effect is immediate.The discomfort disappeared instantly, but the rancid smell could not be eliminated.

The team continued to move forward. As they entered the light yellow poisonous fog, the visibility instantly dropped, and the world ahead was almost dark.This also indicates that everyone in Fengjian has officially entered the city of Yanan in the canyon.

Even the upper floors of Yanam City are always shrouded in dark clouds, making it difficult for sunlight to shine through, let alone the bottom of the valley.

Avisbron opened his hand, and hundreds of thumb-sized fine puppets flew around the team. The crystals at the tails of the puppets that looked like fireflies emitted a soft light, illuminating the area.

The team is now deep in a low-lying swamp. The swamp is so shallow that even the ankles cannot be immersed.

Apart from the sound of the armor clashing, there was some kind of earth-beating sound that kept ringing one after another in the darkness outside the light field.

Then a monster the size of a wolfdog and shaped like a frog appeared in front of everyone.

Its body is twisted and deformed, and the eyes on both sides of its flat head are extremely large, staring at the light source in the darkness.

Its abdomen undulated, gradually expanding under the eyes of everyone, and then spitting out black viscous liquid from its mouth to knock down the illuminating demon.The golem made a sizzling sound as it fell.

"Be careful, there are many such monsters..."

Arash stood beside Kazama and gave a hint. In his eyes that could penetrate the darkness, what was reflected was the countless secret numb frog-like monsters that occupied this swamp.

This large number of monsters that can spit corrosive liquid are not suitable for the Solemn Knights to deal with.

The best way is naturally to use large-scale attack magic.

The blazing flame was summoned during Hohenheim's chant, and transformed into a giant salamander, starting from the front of the team and sweeping rapidly towards the surroundings.

The poisonous mud in the swamp that comes into contact with the flames is instantly evaporated, while the monsters submerged in the swamp are set on fire.

Fire is indeed the best choice for washing away such filthy things.

Relying on the flames summoned by Hohenheim, a safe passage was forcibly opened in this dark swamp full of poisonous mist.

The team moved forward quickly along this passage. After a while, although the ground under their feet was still muddy and full of puddles, they could already step on the flat stone surface that had been cut by humans.A huge man-made structure appeared in front of the team.

"It seems to be some kind of drainage facility, connected to the city's sewage removal system."

"Although it was a surprise attack led by an army, I have not heard of any army launching a surprise attack from a low-level sewage facility."

Avisbron distinguished the function of the building and made a rather cold joke.

There is a circular hole on the top of the building, which connects to the lower city area above.Arash found a broken staircase that led up to the top.

As the queues entered the sewage facility one by one, the stench became even stronger.In the not-so-large space, there was dirty mud everywhere.

A new monster also appeared ahead, a giant rat whose body was covered with abscesses and even had bones exposed under its limbs.

The flames still swept across the path, and today Hohenheim's attack was quite fierce. Perhaps this alchemist has a certain mysophobia.

"The ecology here is almost completely separated from the outside world..." Hohenheim spoke slowly, frowning.

Twist and filth are the order of the day here.

All kinds of deformed and dangerous creatures exist here. If we follow the laws of nature, these deformed creatures should not be able to appear, let alone survive and reproduce here, and live like a fish in water.

"The changes in the environment here come from some deep-seated pollution... It is deeper than the curse of animalization, and the apostles who are infiltrated by the suspected true demonic power. It is simply like the grafting of rules belonging to another world to a certain extent. Got here.”

If I remember correctly, the reason why the ancestors of Yharnam came to Slaver's Bay was to excavate the ruins behind the Forbidden Land.

And they succeeded. Unlike Rome, which stopped at the periphery of the ruins, the Annamites actually entered the interior of the ruins.

Chapter 166 The Solemn Knight

The pollution of Yanan, it is even said that the high-ranking being involved is likely to be related to the ruins of the Forbidden Land.

Taking Yanan as a lesson, even if Kazama now has the ability to clean up the dangerous monsters in the ruins, he still needs to think twice if he wants to truly enter the core area of ​​the ruins to explore.At least, Kazama no longer has any such thoughts.

Another goal of conquering Yanan is actually to seek deeper information about the world.

After Hohenheim and Avisbronn recovered some biological and ecological samples here as usual, the team moved up again.

The emergence of sewage systems means that people are no longer far from urban areas.

You can even see deformed bones while walking in the passage.The bones belonged to the lycanthrope, not the group of rotting rats.

The group of rotting rats fed on the corpse of the lycanthrope, and the residue flowed into the swamp depression below to feed the group of deformed curse frogs.

This is a twisted ecological system based on curses and pollution.

The lighting conditions barely changed as we moved forward. This place was like a land of eternal night, breeding all the dangers here.

There were steps again at the end of the passage. Walking along the steps, the team came to the bottom of a bridge.The city of Yanan has now arrived.

"Eileen, can you identify the location of this place..."

Kazama called Miss Crow, and Irene's face turned pale. Everything she experienced during this journey made her feel sick and dangerous.She was somewhat glad that she had not come to explore this road at that time, otherwise she would have died without a burial place.

Erin observed the buildings in the distance under the bridge.Most of the stone buildings are old and damaged, and there are many collapsed ruins.

"It should be deep in the Lower City..."

Erin said:

"The lower city area is already in a semi-abandoned state for the Healing Church. The people in the lower city gather in the area closest to the upper area, where they can pick up some food and supplies discarded by the people in the upper area."

"Also, there will be slightly fewer lycanthropes over there. After all, hunters will clean up the lycanthropes regularly, but they won't really get to the bottom."

Eileen has obviously never been to this place, but she still relies on experience to make judgments.

After roughly determining the location of the team, the team left the bridge hole and entered the city.

The environment here is still dark and humid, and the air is filled with a strong smell, but it is much better than the environment we passed before.

The team walked on roads that had not been repaired for a long time and wandered through the abandoned city like a ghost.

Arash suddenly picked up the longbow, the string tightened and then relaxed, and the arrow sank into the darkness.

When the team walked there, a beast with many signs of decay lay on the road.An arrow penetrated deeply into his eye socket, shattering his brain.

"There are already beast shifters starting to appear ahead."

Arash was reporting the points, and the speed of the team began to slow down.

Next, Arash began to draw the bow string continuously, and the frequency became higher and higher, and the number of beasts that appeared continued to increase.

Until Arash put down his longbow.

In the darkness, pairs of scarlet eyes appeared, like will-o'-the-wisps floating in the night.

With a tide of more than a hundred beasts... ordinary single-point shooting is of little significance.

The beast tide composed of beast shifters also discovered this team arriving from the depths of the Lower City.

The rich aura belonging to strangers constantly stimulates their senses.

No one needed to give orders, just instinct, the beast tide immediately launched an attack.

The strong limbs jumped up and crossed several meters in mid-air. They were about to knock down these silver canned people, tear open the tin cans with their sharp claws, and enjoy the delicious flesh and blood inside.

But waiting for them were heavy spurges made of fine steel.

The halberd slashed forward, and the beast at the front was knocked down while it was still in mid-air.The sharp blade directly split the beast.

Facing the beast tide, the solemn knight did not make any retreat.For a knight, the master is in the rear, and it would be a shame to retreat.

A column of knights holding halberds began to advance forward, and the beasts' claws were often smashed by the halberds before they even touched their armor.

Soon, the beast tide was defeated by the solemn knight.The remaining few fled into the dark depths.However, arrows soon caught up with them and nailed them to the ground.

The team started moving again, and the broken beast corpses were kicked aside.

Although Miss Irene had no expression on her face, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she saw the corpse at her feet.Eileen's eyes fell on the solemn knights marching silently through the light emitted by the golems.

She had seen the human army before, the United Roman legions with strict discipline and high morale.Among the ordinary people's army, that legion can be called an elite.

But in front of this army, which was heavily armored and armed with heavy weapons, this was the first time Irene had seen them take action.

Dangerous lycanthropes looked like weak babies or noisy pet dogs in front of them.

In terms of physical fitness alone, he is already comparable to a baptized warrior.

A baptism is about as standard as it gets for a hunter.

But hunters are unable to form such a disciplined military formation like this solemn knight.

Even though she was biased towards hunters, Irene had to admit that if an equal number of hunters fought with these powerful soldiers here, the hunters would definitely lose in the end.

Erin's gaze shifted to the young lord.

The way she looked at Kazama was a little strange now.

If the City of Three Stones knew that Renli had such an army, they probably wouldn't even dare to put up any resistance and would simply surrender obediently.Even Kazama would abolish their wealth and deprive them of their status.

Eileen naturally didn't know that this solemn knights, including Lancelot, had been created urgently by him not long ago.

"Hidden very deep..." Irene thought:

"Obviously it can crush the three-stone city, but it still retains its power."

"Is it to hide the trump card against Yanan? Lord Kazama's target was Yanan from the beginning?"

Irene was also aware of Yanan's temptation, but even Archbishop Lawrence would not have thought that human nature still hid such power.

It's just that hiding the trump card in this way is indeed very effective.

Just like this attack, when this surprise force advanced to the upper area, Yanan probably didn't have much strength to defend.

While Erin was thinking wildly, the team had been progressing smoothly.

The soldiers holding halberds retreated, and were replaced by soldiers holding two-handed swords.

The power of the two-handed sword is not inferior to that of the halberd. It will basically break the body of anyone who touches it.

I thought it was a dangerous battle, but until now, Irene had no chance to take action.

Chapter 167 Welcome

The large silent team walked in Yharnan. In this dark lower city, the luminous golems surrounding the team were the only source of light.

A little light in this vast darkness also constantly attracts the peeps of beasts hiding in the darkness.

After experiencing a wave of beasts, the next short stretch of road encountered only scattered beast attacks.

Arash's arrows never stopped from a certain moment on. The arrows penetrated into the depths of darkness and harvested beasts one after another.

When they reached a certain section of the road, Erin suddenly spoke.

"Here...I know you."

Using the light source, Irene looked at the three-story stone apartment building next to her.

After more than two hours of journey, she finally arrived in a city she knew well, which also meant that the main city where the Healing Church was located was extremely close.

"Just keep going forward along this road." After finding the reference object, Irene said to Kazama.

However, as she walked, Irene's expression became wrong again.

"What's wrong, Miss Eileen?"

Feng Jianxi noticed Miss Hunter's face.

"Something is wrong...Kazema-sama."
