Night of apocalypse

The third floor of Qianyin King's Capital · The sky is overcast with haze.

The towering and gloomy castle is looming in the gray mist.

Qianyin Castle · Sleeper's Room.

Rows of white candles were neatly placed in the corner of the room, and the dim lights illuminated the gray murals hanging on the walls.

The murals depict thousands of people kneeling down devoutly.

On the top is a holy figure dressed in a golden robe, wearing a triple crown, holding a cross staff in his left hand, the index finger and middle finger of his right hand together upwards, and the thumb clasping the ring finger and little finger.

Around that figure, one could vaguely see a holy angel surrounded by it.

The solemn and solemn murals make the whole room full of holiness.

And in the center of the room is a slightly raised platform, on which is placed a golden coffin filled with various bright gemstones.

The whole golden coffin is dazzling.

At this moment, the lid of the golden coffin moved away, making a creaking sound.

A pair of skinny hands stretched out to hold the edge of the golden coffin, and then a figure full of sacredness and evil climbed up from the golden coffin.

Looking carefully, this is a man dressed in a golden starry robe, with shriveled features, protruding facial bones, and sunken pupils. He wears a sacred triple crown, with a fist-sized golden gem embedded in the crown. The whole gem exudes a dazzling halo, a simple cross necklace hangs around his neck, and seven different colored gemstones are worn on the ten fingers of his hands. gemstone ring.

This man is none other than the king of Qianyin Kingdom, Mellon.

Obviously, it is not yet twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the bell that symbolizes awakening has not sounded, but Mellon has awakened.

I saw Melon slowly coming out of the golden coffin and walking towards the door step by step.

The originally closed door opened automatically.

When it walked out of the door, thousands of people in the murals on the wall shed tears of blood.

Mellon walked alone in the dimly lit corridor, his heavy steps echoing.

Akira~

The oil lamps hanging on both sides of the corridor lit up one by one.

You can see a knight covered in full armor, kneeling slowly, lowering his head so as not to look directly.

Immediately after Melon walked to the door of a nearby room, he stopped.

Click!

The door opened automatically, and Mellon walked in.

Akira~

Candles in the room are automatically lit, illuminating everything.

Different from the sleeping room, the floor of this room is covered with luxurious fur carpets, the walls are hung with simple oil paintings, and there are all kinds of exquisite ornaments, wardrobes and dressing tables around.

Mellon walked to the closet and took out a gentleman's white shirt and black tuxedo.

He walked slowly to the dressing table and sat down, slowly stretched out his hand to take off the crown, took off the ring on his finger, put it on the dressing table, and at the same time took off the golden starry robe he was wearing.

Immediately afterwards, Melon picked up the powder puff on the table and smeared the white powder on his face, making his withered and darkened face a little fairer.

After finishing this, Mellon changed into a gentleman's tuxedo, then went to the clothes hanger next to him, picked up a black bowler hat and put it on his head.

At this moment, much of the sacred and solemn atmosphere on Mellon's body was removed, replaced by a gentleman and elegance.

He stared at his appearance in the mirror for a long time, and after confirming that there was no problem, he left the room.

Not long after, Mellon came to a closed door.

Two armored knights stood at the gate, and the two armored knights knelt down slowly.

The closed door slowly opened back as if touched.

An extremely cold breath rushed towards him.

Mellon was completely indifferent, and he walked in.

Inside the gate is a bright small palace. The floor of the palace is paved with gilded stone bricks, and there are crystal chandeliers hanging from the top.

Candles were constantly burning above the chandelier.

In the center of the palace stands a crystal coffin surrounded by bright flowers. If you look carefully, you will find that those flowers are eternal flowers.

Mellon walked up to the crystal coffin step by step, and he looked into the crystal coffin affectionately.

Inside the coffin lay an elegant and noble girl in a white evening dress, her long golden hair fluttering, her slender body wrapped in a white dress, her beautiful face with her eyes closed.

If Shen Qiu was present, he would definitely be able to recognize that the person lying in the crystal coffin was none other than Irene.

Mellon stretched out his hand trembling slightly, and gently stroked the crystal coffin. His cloudy eyes revealed a complex expression of sadness and longing.

After a long time, Melon took a few steps back slowly. He stared at Irene in the crystal coffin, slowly raised his hands, and made a dancing movement.

Mellon danced softly, his steps were very slow and very gentlemanly.

The muddy eyes are full of tenderness. Although it seems that he is dancing solo, in his eyes, he is dancing with his arms around Irene. In a trance, he saw Irene smiling sweetly at her.

On Mellon's withered face, he couldn't help showing a smile.

Just when Mellon was immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself.

A sound of heavy footsteps came, waking Mellon who was immersed in it.

Mellon stopped dancing and put his hands down. The smile on his face disappeared, replaced by chill.

At this moment, a 2.4-meter-high knight in heavy black armor walked in with a silver spear on his back. He knelt on one knee and said to Mellon.

King, there are intruders.

When Mellon heard this, a frightening look of excitement appeared on his withered face.

Very good, very good, very good!

After speaking, Mellon glanced at the crystal coffin and murmured in a low voice.

wait for me.

Then Mellon turned and left the small palace.

Not long after, Mellon took the knight and appeared on the watchtower of the castle.

Looking down, you can see a deep pit with a diameter of 500 meters and a depth of 300 meters in front of the castle.

Blackened blood flowed from the bottom of the pit, and a huge cross stood in the center.

The bottom of this cross is very long, like a pillar.

There are scarlet chains hanging on the horizontal part of the cross. These chains extend down and wrap around twelve scarlet coffins.

There are huge notches on the top wall of the deep pit. When the mechanism is activated, four huge stone platforms will extend out to seal the entire deep pit.

Mellon said in a dry and hoarse voice.

Eric, wake up the Twelve Blood Knights!

yes!

Eric put one hand on his chest and replied respectfully.

Soon the mechanism was activated, and the chains wrapped around the cross were pulled, and a pair of scarlet coffins were hanging from the bottom.

When it is pulled at the top, the lateral chains start to be pulled.

The twelve scarlet coffins were slowly pulled out of the deep pit horizontally.

Melon watched this scene, his cloudy eyes revealed a trace of fanaticism, and he let out a hoarse roar.

Wake up, my pious knights, and bring back the invaders

——

The southern gate of Qianyin Kingdom·Second Floor.

A thin figure hid at the corner of a house, constantly peeking at the huge city gate in the distance.

I saw that the huge city gate with a height of 50 meters was closed tightly.

There is a mechanical opening mechanism on the wall. If the mechanism is pulled, the lifting device can be triggered, and the giant city gate will eventually be opened.

The figure moved his eyes away from the giant city gate and looked at the side door on the right.

The side door is only five meters high, and it uses a mechanical lock. There is a pull bolt on the inner door, which can be unlocked directly.

However, whether it is the main entrance or the side entrance, there are simple coffins in front of them.

At this time, the hiding figure seemed to have made up his mind, and quickly jumped out of the bunker, rushing towards the side door on the right.

The moment the thin figure approached the door on the right.

Click!

The coffin, which was originally still, suddenly moved, and the lid of the coffin was pushed open, and corpses dressed in gray metal armor and holding long swords jumped out. Their faces were so shriveled that they penetrated like mummified corpses.

At this time, the thin figure that rushed up drew out the long sword of Liuyun, and the whole sword burned with black flames.

This figure was Yun Xiaoxi.

She swung the Liuyun long sword and slashed at a corpse guard rushing towards her.

Click!

The long swords of the two collided together, and the flames scattered.

The corpse man was immediately repelled, Yun Xiaoxi ignored it, and rushed over while taking advantage of the gap.

At this moment, corpse guards came up one after another.

Fire snake dazzles!

Yun Xiaoxi poured all her strength into Liuyun's long sword, and the flames of the whole long sword burned more vigorously, and she swept across with her sword.

A black fire snake swept away, instantly knocking away a corpse guard who rushed up.

She accelerated her charge, watching the side door getting closer and closer.

Just then there was a bang!

A large coffin, the lid suddenly flew horizontally, and a burly corpse guard jumped out with a big knife in his hand.

Aw!

The corpse guard let out a hoarse roar, his whole body flashed with lightning, he jumped up suddenly, and slashed towards Yun Xiaoxi with a volley.

Yun Xiaoxi was startled, and immediately dodged sideways.

Click!

The big knife slashed fiercely on the ground.

The solid ground instantly cracked, and the impact directly sent Yun Xiaoxi flying. After she landed on the ground, she rolled around in embarrassment.

When Yun Xiaoxi got up, the Corpse Guard had already charged over, slashing straight at him with a sword flashing with thunder.

Yun Xiaoxi raised the Liuyun long sword in her hand to block!

clang.

Accompanied by sparks flying, Yun Xiaoxi slid back seven or eight meters, her entire arm trembling.

At this time, the rest of the corpse guards rushed up one after another.

Seeing this, Yun Xiaoxi immediately turned around and ran away.

Not long after, on the gray, fog-shrouded streets.

Yun Xiaoxi fled here in embarrassment, she turned her head and glanced behind her, seeing that there was no corpse chasing after her, her hanging heart eased.

A gust of wind blows past, blowing the windows of the houses along the way, making a creaking sound.

Yun Xiaoxi walked around feebly, her eyes showed confusion and aggrieved eyes.

It has been several days since she came here inexplicably, and she has not seen a single living person, nor can she see the overlap.

There's nothing to eat or drink here either, just a constant gurgling sound from the stomach.

However, she wanted to leave this ghost city, but she couldn't beat the monsters guarding the gate.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiaoxi suddenly had a sore nose and her eyes were slightly red.

Woo~ what should I do!

On the other side, the first floor of Qianyin Kingdom.

Shen Qiu walked quickly through the alley alone, and his target direction was the entrance of the city gate in the distance.

He was going to observe the entrance of the city gate and look for an opportunity to go up.

Although both Shi Yao and Guo Zong made it clear that climbing the city wall is not feasible, only by finding the key can one have a chance to enter the second floor of Qianyin King's Capital.

But Shen Qiu did not agree with this point of view.

Just because they can't do it doesn't mean they can't do it.

So he was going to take a look and try it himself. This is also the reason why he didn't act together with Shi Yao to search for it.

In addition, Shen Qiu did not want anyone to find the key to open the side entrance.

Because once the channel is opened, the variables are particularly large, and the people who will benefit in the end may be the people of the blue and gray alliances, because they have the most people.

And there are only a few people left in the Hongmeng, and nearly half of them are hanged, and the situation will be even more unfavorable.

So it's better to climb over the wall by yourself.

Half an hour later, Shen Qiu smoothly arrived at the southern entrance between the first and second floors.

He looked at the towering city gate and city wall, and was also shocked.

I saw a pair of dark red coffins hanging at intervals on the wall made of mixed rock and steel. Looking horizontally, there was no end in sight.

Shen Qiu took a deep breath, it was the first time he saw this kind of scene, and he felt a little creepy.

He suppressed his uneasy restlessness and took a closer look.

The main city gate is fifty meters high, the side gate is only five meters high, and the city wall is about a hundred meters high. There are some uneven spots on the surface, but not many.

If he climbed normally with tools, it would not be very difficult for Shen Qiu.

But it might not be that simple, thinking of this, Shen Qiu tried to approach the city wall from the side.

When he reached the bottom of the city wall, Shen Qiu saw a small amount of broken remains of the coffin lid.

It is obvious that these wreckages were triggered by those who tried to climb before, which means that many coffins have been touched.

But Shen Qiu raised his head and took a closer look, there was no open empty coffin on the city wall, which meant that every time the bell rang, there would be corpses to maintain and replace the coffins here.

No wonder there is no way to consume a way up.

Shen Qiu narrowed his eyes and observed further, suddenly he was keenly aware of a trace of abnormality, the wall was stained with many tiny white threads, these white threads were like cobwebs, connected to the coffin hanging nearby.

If there is no accident, the climber should have touched these white silks, thus alarming the monster in the coffin.

But these white silks are very thin and inconspicuous, and they are widely distributed.

Climbing by itself is difficult, but if you want to avoid this white silk, it will be even more difficult.

And this is not the most troublesome thing, after all, it is nothing to be able to see the danger, the most troublesome thing is the invisible danger.

Shen Qiu remembered very clearly that Shi Yao had clearly stated that there were organs on the walls of this city.

Therefore, it is estimated that the difficulty is really not small.

It is really a fantasy to climb up silently, unless you can fly over.

But even flying is probably enough, let alone whether it can fly over at such a high speed, even if it can fly over, the target is so conspicuous, it will definitely trigger something.

However, Shen Qiu did not shrink back because of this, instead his eyes revealed eagerness to try.

Soon he made a decision. He moved along the city wall, as far away from the city gate as possible, and was going to look for a suitable climbing point.

After more than an hour.

Shen Qiu stopped under a city wall, he raised his head and looked up.

On the smooth wall, there are raised stones and nail rings nailed by people.

His eyes lit up immediately, and it was obvious that this should be the climbing point that Lanmeng had tried.

With them keeping these things behind, the difficulty of climbing dropped a lot.

However, Shen Qiu also noticed that these measures disappeared near the point where the coffin was hanging in the middle, that is to say, the people of Lanmeng could not climb up there.

But Shen Qiu didn't care about it, he felt that as long as he could climb to the coffin point, he would be able to rush up while pulling the iron chain.

So Shen Qiu started to twist his neck, move his hands and feet.

Do all the preparatory work.

He stretched out his hand to touch the raised rock body, then stretched out his right foot, stepped on the nail ring below, and climbed up little by little.

However, after climbing several meters, Shen Qiu stopped.

He frowned, and white silk appeared on the wall above his head.

Shen Qiu then stretched out his hand cautiously, and touched the spare climbing point next to him, and continued to climb up.

A few minutes later, Shen Qiu climbed thirteen meters high.

However, fine sweat was already oozing from Shen Qiu's forehead, it was the first time he had climbed so hard, obviously he had explored the way.

His nerves were still tense, for fear of making a mistake.

call!

Shen Qiu exhaled slightly, and stretched out his hand again.

When he grabbed the raised part of the wall above, the raised part suddenly sank in.

Click!

The wall he was sticking to just now suddenly had a gap, and a spear pierced through it.

Shen Qiu immediately sensed that something was wrong, his body tilted abruptly, forming a bow, and narrowly dodged it.

Shen Qiu's expression twitched slightly, and he looked at the city wall with the expression of seeing a ghost. Although I knew there was an agency, I didn't expect it to come so soon.

But after marveling, Shen Qiu readjusted his mentality.

Then move the position a little bit and continue to climb up.

Time passed little by little.

Finally Shen Qiu crawled under the hanging coffin, Shen Qiu raised his head to observe above.

It turned out that there were no anchors such as nail rings on it. Moreover, it is covered with white silk everywhere, so there is not much room for climbing.

It is obvious that this is the limit, and it is impossible to continue to climb up silently.

Shen Qiu's expression changed for a while, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.

Fight!

In an instant, thunder flashed all over Shen Qiu's body, and he jumped up suddenly, grabbing the hanging coffin with one hand.

At this moment, he was like a fly jumping into a spider's web, instantly disturbing the white threads in the entire area.

Immediately, the coffins shook one by one, including the coffin that Shen Qiu was holding.

But Shen Qiu didn't care at all, he quickly climbed up to the top of the coffin, then stepped on the coffin and pulled the iron chain, and quickly jumped up.

Click!

The lids of the coffins all around were suddenly opened sideways, and some of the coffins were in disrepair and fell straight down.

At this time, they saw crawling corpses wrapped in rags, with shriveled bodies, deformed hands and feet, claws, and sharp fangs, crawling out of the coffin.

Shen Qiu's bracelet issued a reminder sound.

Climbing ghoul, the atomic wave reaction is 110, and the judgment level is LV2 (low level).

One by one crawling ghouls locked on Shen Qiu with red eyes, they were like geckos, they rushed towards Shen Qiu quickly.

The steep walls are like flat ground in front of them.

At this moment, Shen Qiu didn't care about the creeping ghouls that swarmed over, his eyes were fixed on the top, and he quickly rushed up while grabbing the iron chain.

At the moment when many crawling ghouls were about to catch up with Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu yanked the iron chain and went straight up the city wall.

However, after going up, Shen Qiu's heart sank suddenly, and countless crawling ghouls also climbed up, directly blocking Shen Qiu to death on the city wall.

At the same time, corpse guards surrounded them with weapons in their hands.

The bracelet beeps again.

Corpse guard, atomic wave response 240, judgment level is LV2 (low level)

At this moment, Shen Qiu was completely surrounded, and more and more monsters gathered, but Shen Qiu did not panic.

He inserted the Canggu Blade back into the scabbard and squatted down slightly, a terrifying thunder burst out from his whole body, and then he injected violent power into the Canggu Blade.

The entire Canggu Blade suddenly made a buzzing sound.

Thousand Blade Lightning Slash!

Shen Qiu instantly pulled out the Canggu Blade and swept it around.

Click!

The swarming corpse guards and corpse puppets were all beheaded, and their bodies were cut off at the waist.

The entire area was cleared, but more and more monsters swarmed in the distance.

Shen Qiu didn't dare to stop at all, he rushed to the front wall extremely fast and looked down.

Sure enough, there is also a coffin hanging on this wall.

He immediately climbed over the wall one by one and slid down while dragging the iron chain.

Boom!

He stepped on the hanging coffin and looked down.

It turned out that there was still a height of 70 meters from the ground.

However, at this time, the black crawling ghouls crawled down from the wall above their heads like locusts.

Shen Qiu glanced back, the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely, then he ignored the height, and then let out a low growl.

ah!

Terrifying thunder and lightning burst out from Shen Qiu's body, and he jumped down. The whole person was like a thunderball, smashing hard on the ground.

boom!

The entire ground was smashed into a deep hole.

Before the dust dispersed, Shen Qiu jumped out from inside and ran forward.

At this time, a large number of crawling ghouls landed on the ground and chased after Shen Qiu.

It's a pity that their moving speed couldn't keep up with Shen Qiu, and soon the distance was getting bigger and bigger.

Ten minutes later, Shen Qiu hid at a corner and kept looking back.

After confirming that there were no corpses chasing after him, he let out a long breath. After wiping the sweat from his forehead, it was finally done.

This job is really not something that ordinary people can do.

He forced it up by himself, and it was so difficult. No wonder Lanmeng gave up forcing the climb. There are so many of them, it is unrealistic to do so.

After Shen Qiu calmed down for a while, he began to observe the surrounding environment.

He found that the buildings on the second floor of Qianyin Kingdom are obviously much more refined than the buildings on the first floor, and they are also more grand.

If the bottom is a slum, then the second floor is a bustling city.

The buildings here are no longer in the shape of rigid pigeon cages, and basically have their own characteristics.

Shen Qiu looked at the time on his wristband, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and it would be midnight soon.

When the time comes, the monsters in the whole city will wake up, so he has to find a suitable place to hide.

Although there are houses all around here, each of them can hide.

But the location is not very good. Once the monster finds it, the directions to escape are very limited.

So Shen Qiu walked forward along the street.

ps: I'm sorry, I've already been hospitalized, and it will take 3-5 days to leave the hospital. But don't worry, I will guarantee a minimum of 6,000 words every day, please understand.
