With Sun Fei's current strength, although he is known as the number one invincible person below the Moon Class expert, he still cannot cross a distance of more than 1,000 meters without touching the ground like Moon Class expert. Therefore, he Summon Giant-Winged Raven and stepped on the back of the Raven for leverage. After four or five flashes, he finally safely stepped onto the city wall of the ancient city.
Looking out, under the cover of night, the [ Ancient City of Death ] is a desolate and chilling sight.
The magnificent stone buildings blocked the silvery moonlight, casting dappled shadows. The streets were empty and silent, with only the low whistling of the wind. Everywhere there were pale white skeletons and eerie will-o'-the-wisps, flickering and shifting, making it resemble a ghost town.
On the streets piled with yellow sand, dilapidated stone temples and statues are still faintly visible, along with some closed shops along the street. Dry wells are filled with yellow sand, and in the distance, a magnificent palace three or four hundred meters high can even be seen. Perhaps due to its age, some of the palaces show signs of collapse at their very tops.
However, considering the age of this castle, it is very well preserved.
The four city walls are about 10 meters high on each side, with eerie battlements, towering watchtowers, and a well-preserved barbican. There is a lot of yellow sand piled up at the foot of the city walls.
Sun Fei stood motionless, his immense Spiritual Power spreading out silently.
"There's no sign of life; it's a complete ghost town. Its size and the state of its architecture could certainly house an army of 30,000, but..."
Sun Fei quickly discovered that the ancient city was somewhat strange, seemingly enveloped in a magnetic field.
Sun Fei noticed this anomaly the moment he stepped onto the city wall.
The metal objects on his body rattled and crashed violently toward the ground. An ordinary person would be unsteady and even have difficulty walking if suddenly faced with such a situation. With a thought, Sun Fei concealed his druidic armor, wearing only a long robe and leather shoes. Only then did all the strange phenomena slowly disappear.
"Could this strange magnetism be the reason for the ruin of this ancient city?"
Sun Fei stepped onto the streets of the ancient city and observed carefully. He quickly overturned his conclusion because he found that there were skeletons lying everywhere in the ancient city. They had obviously been dead for a long time. The bones would break with the slightest touch. They were very fragile. They were obviously not experts in life, but just ordinary people.
These pale bones glowed faintly in the moonlight. Almost all of them were incomplete, with no one intact. It seemed that they had been attacked by some terrifying beast or suffered a great tragedy before their deaths, when an army stormed in and almost all the residents of the city were slaughtered.
Walk along the main street into the city.
In a place resembling a plaza, Sun Fei saw stone pillars covered with rotten and broken wooden cages. Inside the cages were completely decayed skeletons, their skeletons still in a struggling posture, arms outstretched. Clearly, these skeletons had been imprisoned alive in the wooden cages and starved to death under the wind and sun.
On the heads of several skulls, Sun Fei saw something resembling a crown, as well as a huge gem that shimmered with a faint light. These were the accessories of nobles, and it was very likely that they were members of the ancient city's royal family, captured and tortured to death by the enemy in this square.
The square was covered with about ten centimeters of yellow sand, and hundreds or thousands of headless skulls could be vaguely seen hidden in the sand. In the very center of the square was a small hill made of skulls, with eerie blue ghost fire swirling around it, making it look sinister and terrifying. Several skulls were impaled on a rusty steel spear in front of the hill.
"These people were beheaded before they were even born... a Bloody massacre took place here."
As Sun Fei walked through the ancient city, he could still feel the faint screams, wails, and pleas for mercy in the air, as if the souls of the dead, who had been dead for thousands of years, lingered here, unwilling to dissipate.
Sun Fei searched the entire ancient city but found no signs of life.
Just a hundred meters outside the city lies the quicksand nest of the [ Berserk Gold-Devouring Ant ]. Hundreds of millions of these Gold-Devouring Ant live in the quicksand like fish, but strangely, they seem to have no interest in this ancient city at all, and may even be afraid of it. They show no intention of leaving the quicksand to come into the ancient city.
"It seems that there is some natural nemesis in this ancient city, which makes those terrifying Gold-Devouring Ant never dare to set foot Banbu."
Having confirmed this, Sun Fei was relieved. Otherwise, leaving an army here wouldn't even be enough for the Gold-Devouring Ant to have a live feast with each of them taking a piece of meat.
"However, the city has a magnetic field, rendering iron armor and iron weapons almost ineffective. It seems the Princess and Paris didn't mention this, making it virtually impossible to capture an army of 30,000..."
Sun Fei discovered that things were deviating from the direction that the two women, known for their profound wisdom and resourcefulness, were involved in.
"Could this magnetic field have only appeared slowly in the last twenty years?" Sun Fei shook his head, dismissing his wild thoughts. "Let's find the secret passage mentioned in the letter first."
In the brocade box given to them by the eldest princess and Paris, the two unanimously recommended this ancient city that had been abandoned for thousands of years.
It is suggested that Sun Fei use this ancient city as a second base on the Ajax battlefield, forming a pincer movement with Twin Flag City, mutually supporting each other and containing the Ajax people. Because there is a large nest of Gold-Devouring Ant around the ancient city, even the fierce sand bandits and horse bandits have not been able to set foot here for many years. It is rumored that there is a lot of wealth in the city, but it has long been looted by some Moon Class powerhouses, so it no longer has any attraction for adventurers.
The people of Ajax also know the location of this ancient city.
However, they were unable to enter the city.
The blood-red quicksand river, over 500 meters wide, and the endless Gold-Devouring Ant within it, formed an insurmountable barrier, preventing any elite army from entering.
However, in their letter, the eldest princess and Paris stated that while browsing through the imperial archives, they discovered in Emperor Yassin's memoirs that when Emperor Yassin built Twin Flag City, he had visited the ancient city out of curiosity and searched it, but unfortunately found nothing. However, he inadvertently discovered an underground passage in a hall of the imperial palace within the city. This passage allowed him to bypass the nests of the Gold-Devouring Ant and reach a place outside the Red Flowing Sand River.
At the time, Emperor Yassin did not reveal this secret.
Perhaps in the heart of this great and ambitious emperor, this secret was kept, and at some point in the future, it would have unexpected value.
Following the instructions on the note, Sun Fei quickly found the secret passage.
The walls, stone palaces, and buildings of the [ Ancient City of Death ] are almost all made of the same dark stone material. This deep underground passage is also built with this black, magnetic stone material. The passage is about five meters wide and more than four meters high. It can accommodate three carriages traveling side by side, or allow cavalry to rush through it.
This underground passage is truly magnificent.
It was obvious that the builders of the secret passage were slaughtered before they could even use it, because Sun Fei found no corpses in the passage. The ground was spotless and very clean, but because the air had been stagnant for a long time, it was very stuffy and had extremely low oxygen levels. If Sun Fei were an ordinary person, he would probably have died dozens of times over.
Sun Fei walked along the passage for more than ten minutes; the road was long, but he finally reached the other end.
At the end are two enormous stone gates, each weighing over ten thousand kilograms.
Furthermore, it is certain that the other side of the stone gate must be hidden in the Shamo, covered by thick layers of yellow sand.
Even if Moon Class expert were to arrive, opening this would be extremely difficult.
Fortunately, the man standing in front of these two Dashi was named Sun Fei.
Switching to [ Barbarian Mode ], the level 99 Barbarian unleashed a torrent of ferocious power. Sun Fei pressed his hands against the stone door and, with his own strength, pushed open the Dashi amidst a deafening roar.
At that moment, the yellow sand and the starlight outside poured down together.
Air rushed in, and breathing suddenly became easier.
Sun Fei thought for a moment and calculated the time. There were still at least five hours until dawn. He took out paper and pen from his storage ring, quickly wrote a letter, and then activated his Divine Summon Skill. The sky-blue Teleport in front of him opened, and [ Death Yellow Cloak ] Kashya walked out of the Teleport.
"Lord Kashya, deliver this letter to Arjen, the strategist of the [ Wolf Fang Legion ], as quickly as possible. The army is sixty miles to the southeast."
"Knew."
Kashya took the letter and put it away. He transformed into a long rainbow, flashing like a leaping ball, and quickly rushed towards the direction of the [ Wolf Fang Legion ] army.
Sun Fei then switched to [ Assassin Mode ].
His King laid down a dense array of magical traps and mechanisms within a hundred meters of the secret passage's exit before nodding in satisfaction, switching back to [ Barbarian Mode ], and entering the world of Diablo.
Only one task remains.
Sun Fei and Elena have already ventured deep into the [ Worldstone Keep ].
This is a magnificent building. Compared to some of the gloomy and terrifying underground tombs or temples, the interior of [ Worldstone Keep ] is like King's palace. The gorgeous gold and white checkered floors and beautiful walls give the whole building an indescribable air of luxury.
However, the constant laughter of the final boss Baal and the demons rushing out from all corners ruined this luxurious and elegant scene.
This is the most terrifying place in the entire Diablo World.
The demons and monsters here are all incredibly powerful. They wear magical armor, wield various terrifying magical weapons, and possess a rudimentary form of intelligence. Each monster is at least as strong as a three- or four -Star-Rank Warrior in the real world, powerful and bloodthirsty.
The Worldstone Keep has three levels.
Sun Fei and Elena spent four hours killing their way from the first floor to the third floor.
During this process, Elena has leveled up several times. Her Magic Archer skill has reached level 84, and her Paladin skill level has reached level 46, greatly increasing her strength.
In contrast, Sun Fei remained steadily at level 99, despite gaining a large amount of experience points.
Sun Fei was mentally prepared for this.
He wasn't worried.
This will be a process of gradual accumulation before a breakthrough. Once you delve into the Worldstone Keep and defeat the final boss, Baal, in the Worldstone Chamber on the third floor, you will have essentially completed the Diablo World on Normal Difficulty. At that point, everything will change.
