2444 Visitors from ghost city (1)

The wooden coffin at the door had already shattered. The corpse monster rushed in, and Tang Zhen also took the opportunity to jump down.

With the wall as a barrier, the zombie monsters could not swarm up, making it convenient for Tang Zhen to attack them one by one.

The longsword in Tang Zhen's hand had done a great job. In such an environment, this invincible divine weapon would allow Tang Zhen to easily eliminate his enemies.

If they switched to firearms, the close combat effect might not be as good, and it would be more inconvenient to operate.

Tang Zhen did indeed have a firearm-type weapon on him. Just like the treasured sword hidden in his belt, he did not store it in his storage equipment in case it became unusable.

In an unknown environment, simple and primitive weapons could often be used normally.

He believed that the other cultivators of loucheng had considered this. Therefore, in addition to storage equipment, they should also have various weapons with them.

Due to his strength being sealed, Tang Zhen could only use his killing techniques. He was unable to use any energy attacks.

Not only did this affect the efficiency of killing the monsters, but it also made Tang Zhen's situation even more dangerous. If he encountered too many monsters, he would have no choice but to Dodge temporarily.

Fortunately, an energy-formed body had advantages that flesh and blood could not compare to. For example, it did not know fatigue and was as light as a swallow.

As long as Tang Zhen was willing, he could jump through these buildings as though he was flying. It was just like how martial artists used Qing Gong.

Of course, this also required the consumption of energy. Once the energy stored in Tang Zhen's body was completely consumed, he must replenish it in time. Otherwise, he would not be much stronger than an ordinary person.

Before he knew it, it was already midnight.

Just as Tang Zhen was hunting the corpse monsters, he suddenly saw numerous pale white lanterns appearing one after another in the courtyard beside him.

Under this gloomy light, the dilapidated courtyard filled with coffins clearly gave people a hair-raising feeling.

The surrounding environment suddenly changed, as if it was a different opera. The surrounding corpse monsters quietly retreated, no longer paying attention to Tang Zhen.

This was only the beginning. It didn't take long for figures to appear in the courtyards, looking very busy.

The town's residents that had disappeared reappeared in this instant. The originally dilapidated courtyard Street had also returned to its original form.

In the courtyard in the distance, there were also lights flashing, and there were people walking on the street.

Such a lively scene was no longer the same as before.

Tang Zhen stood on the roof and coldly watched this scene. He knew that this was actually a smokescreen by the ghosts.

The negative energy that came out of nowhere shrouded the abandoned city. It covered up the truth and whitewashed the false prosperity.

What the hell were the city full of dead people doing?

As soon as he had this thought, he heard the sound of cows and horses coming from outside the city.

In addition, there were also the sounds of wheels and human conversations. All kinds of sounds were mixed together, and could be heard from far away.

Tang Zhen faintly guessed something when he saw the convoy approaching the town. He quickly rushed toward the city gate.

When he arrived at the city gate, he saw that the convoy had already entered the city and was now parked in front of an Inn.

There were quite a few people in the caravan, hundreds of them in total, both men and women.

There were humans and some other races among them, and they got along well with each other.

It was obvious that this was a world where many races coexisted, and all such planes had vast lands.

Without enough land, the different races would constantly kill each other, and it was impossible for them to live in harmony.

When the situation was serious, it was possible to kill until only one race was left and enjoy the entire world alone.

The land was vast, but the people were sparse.

Therefore, even if there were suddenly countless outsiders, it would not attract the attention of many people. No one would even care about it.

Tang Zhen had a preliminary understanding of the world he was in. That was that the surface area of this world should be very large and there were many races existing.

Tang Zhen continued to observe and attempt to gather more information.

Under normal circumstances, a caravan of this scale would set up camp in a safe place, instead of resting in the city.

It seemed that this town was their final destination. After many members of the convoy entered the city, they immediately went to different places, as if they were going to visit their relatives and friends.

The travel-worn men didn't notice that there were no living people on the street or the merchants in the surrounding shops.

Tang Zhen quietly shook his head as he looked at those ignorant fellows. It was likely that this group of people would not be able to return.

However, before these travelers were killed, Tang Zhen still had to make contact with them and figure out their origins as well as the detailed information about this world.

After making up his mind, Tang Zhen jumped down from the roof and slowly walked towards the entrance of the hotel.

Because there were too many people and carriages, the entrance of the inn was very lively. Some people were gathering the carriages in one place to prevent the goods from being lost or stolen.

There were also members of the convoy talking to the shop assistants. They also did not realize that these dull-looking shop assistants in front of them were actually long-rotted corpses.

When Tang Zhen walked over, there was a shop assistant standing by the side of the road. There was a half-broken knife on his head, and when he spoke, maggots kept falling out of his eyes and mouth.

Due to the obstruction of the negative energy, the caravan members could not see him at all. They even reached out to Pat each other's shoulders while they were talking.

Sir, are you going to stay here?

After seeing Tang Zhen walk over, the shop assistant turned his head and asked in a sinister tone.

His tone and movements were clearly abnormally slow, but the caravan members just couldn't notice it. Because under the influence of the negative energy, the reactions of mortals had become very numb.

Otherwise, once they entered the city, the caravan members would have immediately noticed the abnormality, instead of being completely clueless.

In fact, if one looked closely, they would notice that the actions of the caravan members were half a beat slower.

However, the cows and horses were not affected. The problem was that they could not speak and could not tell the caravan members what they had seen.

I'm staying in a hotel, and I want a superior room!

As Tang Zhen spoke, he casually threw out a golden coin. This was something he had picked up earlier.

The inn assistant took the money and immediately showed a respectful smile out of habit, leading him into the room.

There's no hurry. I'm going to sit down for a while. Give me something to eat first!

Tang Zhen threw out another gold coin as he spoke. After which, he sat down at a table that was covered in blood.

After the waiter received the gold coins, he quickly brought a tray of things and placed it in front of Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhen frowned slightly as he looked at the rotten food that was covered with maggots and the tea that was mixed with mud and blood. He turned his head and looked at the members of the merchant group beside him.

Soon, he saw a young man looking around. When he saw the food and wine on his table, he immediately swallowed.

Tang Zhen secretly laughed upon seeing this. He waved his hand at the other party.

Little brother, you've been travel-worn, do you want to come over and have a meal?

After hearing Tang Zhen's greeting, the young man's face revealed a happy expression. He immediately walked over and sat on the chair opposite.

I'm really sorry, then I won't be polite!

As he spoke, he grabbed the chicken leg from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth.

Chewing the smelly flesh maggot, the young man's face was full of a bright smile, as if he was very happy.
