"Thank you for the reminder. As for the information... we will try our best to collect it." Dick looked at the three teammates, "Do you have any opinions?"

"I have no objection."

"I am the same as Dismas, I will go wherever he goes." The tomb robber on the side said casually.

"I have an opinion. The last time I went crazy was because I met a resentful spirit in that adventure space. I don't want to meet them again. Let's go Burning City."

"Since you said so, let's go to Burning City."

"Then let's rest for the night and then move on." Dick said looking at the tiredness on the faces of his three teammates.

"Okay, let's do it." Dismas spoke, and the other two people had no objections.

In this way, a few people and the boss opened three rooms: a room for Dick, a room for a couple, and a room for veterans.

Dick can understand why a tomb robber and a robber live in the same room. After all, as adventurers, their lives are precarious, and the two of them are lovers.

But the veteran brought a waitress back to the room and made noise all night long.

However, early the next morning, I saw that the veteran's spirit was still strong and not affected at all.

Dick is a little envious of this veteran who is about fifty years old.

When everyone set out the next day, Dick noticed that the waiter named Doug still kept his chin and dozed posture, and even the shadow of the folds of his clothes had not changed at all - as if the ten hours they had left had just been a blink of an eye in this tavern.

The tomb robber lit the torch again, looked at Dick and said, "Although I spent some gold coins this night, I saved resin powder and torches. It seems that the hotel is fine."

Dick nodded, and everyone set up in formation and headed forward. After a while, everyone walked across the stone bridge with stone carvings on both sides.

In front of the stone bridge is an open city gate. Looking from a distance, the city is full of majestic buildings, constantly showing that this was once a great city. This is Burning City.

But now, most of the buildings in the city have been reduced to ruins, with faint blue Flames floating on the broken arches. The tongues of fire licked the angel statues carved on the stone pillars, burning the marble faces into distorted crying faces.

In the depths of each cluster of Flames, crouching humanoid shadows can be vaguely seen, wailing silently.

"Look, the great cities of mankind have been reduced to nothing in Flames." The tomb robber sighed at the side.

"Be careful." Dick warned, and then concentrated on turning on Witcher Senses, taking the lead in stepping into the burning city.

The veteran also hurriedly stood shoulder to shoulder with Dick, he did not want to fall behind.

The two fire support units stepped in last.

As soon as they entered the city, a huge spire house was burning in front of them, and behind it was a group of buildings.

These buildings divide the front into two roads: left and right.

"It seems we have to make a choice again. Which path should we choose?" the tomb robber said.

"I don't know either." The robber shook his head.

"I can go any way. As long as Monster appears, I will smash it into pulp with the steel hammer in my hand." The veteran shouted.

Finally everyone looked at the witcher.

"Do you want me to choose? How about we take the left path."

"We don't care."

The last few adventurers walked towards the left. There were some burning ruins on the road that hindered everyone's progress. Fortunately, they only needed to go around a little.

After walking for a while, a huge dead tree slanted across the road. Judging from the posture, everyone had to climb over it.

However, the demon hunter's ears suddenly moved at this moment, and Dick said in a deep voice, "Wait a moment."

Then several figures rushed out from the buildings around the dead tree. They were two people and a dog.

"Robbery." Looking at the clothes of these three people, they are exactly the same as the robbers in the team.

"Looks like I've met an old colleague." The tomb robber who was traveling with him said with a smile.

No one answered, the robber thrust the torch into the ground, and then pointed the crossbow at the blocker on the opposite side.

The bandit's short crossbow emitted a neighing sound like a poisonous snake's message, and the tempered crossbow arrow accurately penetrated the left eye of the roadblocker.

Before the body fell to the ground, he had already stepped forward, the dagger swirling in the palm of his hand, and the blade drew a perfect arc along the throat;

In the gushing blood mist, the robber grabbed the corpse and used it as a shield, and three crossbow arrows were driven into the carrion.

The veteran swung his huge steel hammer and hit the fallen blocker hard, flattening his head. For a while, red and white liquid flowed out, like tofu curd with minced chili pepper.

When the tomb robber saw this, he whistled, took out the poison dart from his waist, quickly threw it out, and hit the hound's body, causing the beast to roll on the ground in pain.

At the end, the blocker's crossbowman wearing a red turban fired a crossbow at Dick. Dick made a seal with one hand and blew the bullet away with a Piercing Cold Signs. At the same time, the strong force blew the blocker into a room where Flames was burning. All he could see was that his whole body was on fire, and his mouth was full of struggling and pleading sounds.

Seeing that several of their owners died in an instant, the hound whined and ran away with its tail between its legs, and no one caught up with it.

"It seems that there is no peace in this city. Everyone should be careful." Dick said.

"I know." The robber remained silent, while the tomb robbers on the side said with a smile, "We will all pay attention, but these few people want to rob us, they are really brave."

Dick noticed the veteran's actions, he was still smashing the corpse time and time again.

"What's going on?"

"It seems that he is ill again." The tomb robber on the side explained, "It seems that the mental trauma from the last space adventure has not yet recovered."

Dick patted the veteran on the shoulder, but the veteran did not respond and continued to hit his head, which had turned into pulp.

When Dick saw this, he could only increase his strength and slapped her hard again.

"Wake up!"

The veteran suddenly seemed to wake up from a nightmare. He touched the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I..."

"It doesn't matter, let's move on."

The tomb robber on the side laughed playfully, and Dick noticed from the corner of his eye that the robber's eyes were slightly narrowed, and he was obviously smiling.

They are all laughing at the veterans.

It seems that this time the team is not as harmonious as before, and the task must be completed as soon as possible, Dick thought to himself.

After walking for a while, everyone once again passed through an inner city gate. Dick noticed that there were several corpses hanging on the sloping building in front of them that had been burned for an unknown period of time. They were hung by the barbs under the chains through their heads, and they didn't know what mistakes they had made.

"I need to get out of this damn place," the veteran muttered.

Everyone said nothing and continued to move forward.

There are two more forks ahead.
