Fortress of Ten Thousand Races in the Badlands of the World

Chapter 209, Bridge of Naihe
Zhang Tian walked slowly on the street, aimlessly.

Today is already the 34th day since he came to Youdu City. Of the dozen or so people who came to Youdu City with him 34 days ago, he is the only one left now.

He didn't even know how he got through it.

He has to watch and walk on this road every day. He can only walk out of the house during the day. At night, he will age at an extremely fast rate and then die.

Besides him, there were many people like him walking aimlessly on the street.But Zhang Tian is different from others.

At least within this short distance of 100m, he is the only real human being.

real living humans.

Like them, he wanted to walk to the end of the road during the day and come to a stone mine to dig out a special kind of stone.Then use this stone to exchange for candles for today.

If not, you can only exchange it with your own lifespan.

Also redeeming a candle for a day requires at least a 40-year lifespan.

In other words, you can only redeem for two days.

If you haven't dug ore for two consecutive days, then you can only die.

Of course, people who are older may not have so many life spans, maybe only one day.Zhang Tian's luck is relatively good, he can dig an ore every day.

It is a blue, crystal clear stone.

Shows a cone shape.

Under the sunlight, it can also emit colorful light.

No one can use force here, as long as they sense the slightest fluctuation of the force of the magic pattern, it will be noticed by the will in the dark here, and finally it will turn into a pile of bones.

This is the will of time.

Slowly and slowly, Zhang Tian followed the flow of people and came to the ore place.

He also wanted to arrive quickly, but if he walked too fast, acted too fast, and was too different from the aboriginal people next to him, then he would be noticed by the will here, which would be extremely dangerous.

After a while, Zhang Tian followed the flow of people to the front of the mine.

This is actually just a small hill, and countless people are digging ore on the hill.

Zhang Tian lined up and slowly entered from the entrance, oh, yes, you can also get a small hoe at the entrance.

About 40 cm in length, very small wooden hoe.

He only needs to dig out one every day to exchange for the candle of the day.

But these ores are not so easy to dig, because they are extremely fragile, and if you are not careful, you will be smashed by your own hoe.

When he was unlucky, he even broke two pieces in a row in one day.

Of course, compared with others, I have been very lucky.

Not to mention it was broken into pieces, and no one even dug out a piece of it all day long.

These people often die quietly at night.

At this time, he saw a middle-aged man who was digging his head slightly raised, and he glanced at himself.His eyes were extremely indifferent, as if there was no vitality left.

Zhang Tian also glanced at him, but quickly looked away.

This person is obviously a human being who survived here like him.

For more than 30 days, he has watched the real human beings here gradually become scarce.

The group I just came in often meet seven or eight or even ten people during the day.

But today, so far, he has only met one.

Zhang Tian touched the already dim magic pattern on his hand.

He hasn't activated the magic pattern for a long time, because he really didn't dare.

He didn't dare to just die like this, just live like this, he can live a day is a day.

As he spoke, he squatted down and began to dig the ore.

……

At the gate of the city, three black figures appeared in the city with sword clips on their backs.

The three of them got together and seemed to discuss it.

Then they parted ways.

The three of them each chose a direction to leave. What they didn't expect was that a figure was standing in a hidden corner, watching them.

If Sheng Fang and Chen Yu'er were here at this time, they would definitely recognize that this person is Qin Alei!
The direction Jian Changfeng went was Qin Alei's pawn shop.

He came to the pawn shop, but it was empty.

On the other hand, tea was still placed on the table in the hall of the pawn shop.

The tea was still hot, and Jian Changfeng knew that the owner had just left.

He pulled out the sword from the sword clip, and the moment he pulled it out, because the speed was too fast, a sword glow had already been brought out.

In the clear light, a will in the sky above Youdu City slowly opened its eyes.

Such a strong sword spirit.

But this will closed after one glance at Jian Changfeng.

As if it was a trivial matter, not worthy of his attention at all.

"Can the owner of this place come out and have a look?" Jian Changfeng asked loudly, looking directly at the inside of the pawnshop with sharp eyes.

His words did not get any echo, after a while.

"Your Excellency entered my pawn shop, you just want me to come out and see it. Why do you draw your sword and face each other?" An old man slowly came out from inside.

The old man's hair was gray, and he looked in Jian Changfeng's direction with unclear eyes and said.

Jian Changfeng watched the old man slowly walk out from inside.Put back the sword in your hand.

Wei Wei saluted and said slowly: "I'm here to disturb Your Excellency, I want to inquire about some news!"

"News? Our pawn shop also pawns news. I wonder what you can exchange for it?"

The old man said in a deep voice.

"It depends on what your Excellency needs!" Jian Changfeng said slowly.

"I need a kind of blue stone, which is at the end of this road. Can you dig it up for me? A stone exchanges a message." The old man said slowly.

Jian Changfeng nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go right away."

He was about to leave here, but the old man stopped him suddenly.Then he calmed down and said slowly: "Here, I will give you a message for free. You must come to me to get a candle before dark. Then find a black house on the side of the road and go in for the night, otherwise you will die outside of."

Jian Changfeng's expression froze when he heard the words.

Sure enough, this Youdu City is extraordinary!
He knew it wouldn't be that simple.

After thanking the old man, he left here and headed to the mine at the end of the road.

According to his understanding, none of the living creatures currently appearing in this Youdu City can threaten his existence yet.

But because of entering and exiting dangerous places, it is better to be careful.

Often such a visionary place will be shrouded in a mysterious will.

If you are stronger than this kind of will, that's fine. If you are weaker than him and still try to challenge the rules he set, you will definitely die without a single body.

Soon, he had arrived at the mine.

When he felt it, there was always a pair of dark eyes watching him.

Did he break the rules?

Some rules that I don't know?
There are already many people on the mine, digging ore hard.

Sweat rained down.

But most people look like walking dead in Jian Changfeng's eyes.

There is no wisdom!
why is that?Then he noticed that there were two or three people who were different from the others and seemed to be normal human beings.

He walked up to the nearest one and was about to ask something.

Unexpectedly, the other party stared at him and shook his head slightly.

Signal him not to speak.

Then he dug up the ore on his own.

Jian Changfeng also learned to do what they did, squatting next to this man and digging like him.

The person who dug the ore next to Jian Changfeng was Zhang Tian who had just entered the field.

Zhang Tian didn't expect that normal humans would come to him.

Normally, people who come here avoid each other.

Because no one knows whether they will violate some inexplicable rules here without knowing it.

This is a lesson learned from the past. When someone entered the city gate, he accidentally kicked the city gate and died of old age on the spot.It's enough to show the strength of the will here.

This is the power of time.

You must know that the current magic pattern martial art in the outside world has only developed to the realm of the Martial King.

At this time, King Wu has not touched the power of the rules.

The power of rules is still very far away from human beings.

Time is one of the universal rules.

Zhang Tian squatted beside Jian Changfeng and stretched out his hand. He wrote on the palm of his hand and said: "Be careful, don't attract too many people's attention. Once you attract too many abnormal people's attention, you may also It will be more troublesome to be noticed by the will here."

"Okay, I understand." Jian Changfeng said directly.

Zhang Tian, ​​who had just finished telling him not to speak, froze when he heard the words, and said a little speechlessly: "Shh! Don't speak! Be careful!"

Jian Changfeng had no choice but to write slowly on the palm of his hand: "Can you come out with me? I have something I want to know."

Zhang Tian raised his head and glanced at him, his expression became serious.

After thinking for a moment, he agreed.

This person doesn't seem to have any malicious intentions, go and see what he has to say.

Then the two left the mine and came to a secluded corner.

"Do you know that some people have come in recently?" Jian Changfeng asked.

Hearing the words, Zhang Tian said without hesitation, "I know, there are."

"Yes, there are, but if you say that you are here to find them, then you'd better give up." Zhang Tian said bluntly.

After hearing this, Jian Changfeng was instantly displeased, and asked anxiously, "Why do you say that, what do you know?"

Zhang Tian scratched his head, and said slowly: "90% of the people who came in in the past week have died."

"Isn't there still 10% left?" Jian Changfeng asked.

"That's right, there are 10%. But this 10% doesn't know whether it's life or death. We don't communicate here. We mine during the day and go back to our houses at night. No one who enters here knows what night they will be in." die."

"Alive. No one should think about how long they will live." Zhang Tian sighed.

But obviously, such a result.Jian Changfeng has no way to accept it.

"Do you know how to get out of here?" Jian Changfeng asked.

Zhang Tian couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, and then said with a smile on his lips: "What are you thinking about? Now that you've come here, are you still thinking about getting out? This is a place of death. If you can survive for a day, it's a day!"

Jian Changfeng felt a little anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

I can only pray that my junior is not so weak.

If there is really something wrong with my junior brother, then I'm afraid this place will be turned upside down!

How could a small vision be so rampant.

This was something neither his master nor he could allow.

……

Endless ghost.

A dark, bottomless river that can absorb all life flows slowly.

Although it is flowing, there is no sign of movement at all from the bridge.

I don’t know where it comes from and where it goes.

On the piers of the arched bridge, countless grotesque lion statues sit on it.

On the bridge is the word Naihe, which is ancient and vicissitudes of life.

Lanterns with blue flames are lit every few meters on the wall.

This is exactly the same as the lantern on the gate of Youdu City.

The whole river and the bridge were empty.

No.

In the dark river...

Oh, and he's not even Black River.is red.

It is a river that turns red to extreme black.

From time to time in the river, short remains can be seen surfacing.

The silent river reveals the gloom and terror.

"When..." "When..." "When..."

"It's dry, be careful with candles."

On this weird bridge, a watchman actually walked slowly!
All the way while beating gongs, while playing more.

Who is this call for?
"Old Zhaotou, there is no one here and there is no ghost. Who are you knocking for?"

An old voice came from the other side of the bridge.

An old woman with gray hair was sitting on the end of the bridge. In front of her was a small table, and beside her was a large vat of unknown liquid.

She is holding a big spoon, stirring constantly in the jar, stirring constantly.

While stirring, colorful, black and white pieces kept rolling out from the bottom up.

There were dozens of empty bowls in front of her.

She poured the soup into the bowl spoon by spoon.

"Grandma Meng, don't you boil your stinky soup here every day? Has someone had a ghost come to drink it? Isn't it also boiled every day, and then thrown into the river." The watchman was merciless Hitting the gong sarcastically.

"Have you found Youdu?" Granny Meng asked slowly.

"I found it, but he won't come with me." The watchman said with a slow sigh.

Granny Meng was taken aback when she heard the words, stopped the movement of her hands, raised her head, looked at the watchman and said, "Why? He's fine, why did he run to Yangjian?"

"I asked."

"He said he was waiting for someone, and said he was about to arrive!"

When Po Meng heard this, she was even more stunned, and then she showed an expression of sudden realization.

Then I didn't ask any more questions.

As if she knew it all.

"Since it's time to wait, why don't you go?" Meng Po asked suspiciously.

The watchman smiled lightly and said with some disdain: "I don't believe it."

Po Meng shook her head when she heard the words, and continued to stir her Po Meng soup.

"The order of the six realms has been broken for so long, don't you want it to be restored?"

Granny Meng snorted.

Hearing this, the watchman shook his head lightly and said, "The order of the six realms? Even the entire Water Blue Star is still broken! Six realms still expect to be repaired?"

"How do you know it will be irreparable?"

"I have no idea
