Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.

The city lord of Flying Eagle City said, "I am the city lord of Flying Eagle City, I don't know my brother's surname?"

The demon clan said, "I'm a wood spirit, we have a huge mission, and we have been deliberately not letting the outside world know about our existence, but I didn't expect you to know a lot about us." ”

The city lord of Flying Eagle City said, "Is everything recorded in the book true?"

Mu Ling said, "Most of what you just said is true, we are not single here to deal with people who covet spars, and more importantly, to deal with demon beasts who want to destroy spars. ”

In the magma of the Purgatory Lands, a monster called Wandering sleeps. They are fierce and powerful by nature. Moreover, they were born with only one purpose, and that was to destroy the Origin Crystal.

Every sixty years, the Wanderers wake up from their slumber and come ashore in droves to attack the Origin Crystal.

The main mission of the guardian family where the wood spirit belongs is actually to deal with the sting.

After listening to Mu Ling's narration, Wu Song said, "Isn't the strange snake we encountered just now just a stumbling snake?"

Mu Ling shook his head, that wasn't a stubborn man, it was a stubborn subordinate. He is very powerful, and can drive other demon beasts to do things for him.

The Magma Monster Snake is one of the monsters they drive.

He was sealed by the power of the ancients, and he could only come to the world every sixty years.

During the time they were sealed, they drove numerous demon beasts to attack the Origin Crystal. These demon beasts are not as powerful as those of the Guardian Family, but because of their large number, they are enough to give the Guardian Family a headache.

Mu Ling said, "No matter what you're here for, I can only say that it's too unfortunate for you to come. For in three days' time the seal of sorrow will be lifted.

When the time comes, they will burst out of the lava and wreak havoc in the Purgatory Lands, frantically attacking the Origin Crystals and every living thing here.

It will take seven days for the power of the seal to recondense and the sorrow to be sealed again.

During this time, we, the Guardian Family, will gather all our strength to fend off the Plague. We can't allow anything unexpected to happen, so you have two options,

Either that's the right time to turn around and leave Hellland, but I guess those magma serpents will take over every path you get out of, so you shouldn't be able to leave.

The second option is for you to enter the Guardian Fortress with me and stay there until the Guardian retreats. ”

Wu Song and the others looked at each other, they didn't expect such a thing to happen before they came.

Wu Song explained the purpose of their coming here and said, "We just want to go to the Origin Jewel to find out Yun Rong's identity, and we won't do anything else, isn't that okay?"

Mu Ling shook his head, "The Purgatory Land is filled with ancient divine power, and any unexpected interference may lead to unimaginable consequences. If, in normal times, we can send someone to escort you to the Origin Crystal,

That way, even if something happens, we can deal with it in time.

At the beginning, now is the time when the panic is coming, and we really can't spare people. Therefore you cannot go anywhere. ”

Wu Song groaned, "Since that's the case, let us discuss it." ”

Wu Song and the others discussed it for a while, and finally decided, according to what Mu Ling said, to go to the Guardian's fortress for a few days, and then they went to the Origin Crystal after the Tao left.

The spherical object that the Wood Spirits were erecting, called the Chole, was a device made by their guardians based on the drawings left behind by the ancient tribes, and was specially used to sail through the magma.

Cholting is made of a special stone that insulates the heat of magma and is very light without the weight of ordinary rocks. As a result, although it looks very large, it can float in lava.

The interior of the cholerine is like a blacksmith's shop, and there is iron stuff everywhere.

About an hour later, they landed at a certain place. Wu Song and the others came to the shore and looked up to see a towering city wall.

The wall was forty or fifty meters high, and the surface was dark red like the land of Purgatory.

If you look closely, there are countless scratches and blood stains on the city walls. Some of the scratches were more than half a meter long, and they should have been left by a huge demon beast.

Underneath the city walls, a large number of white bones are piled up. Some of them look like demon beasts, and some of them are demon clans. Between the bones, there were knives and guns and other weapons scattered.

There was an unusual sense of slaughter in the air, which made Wu Song and the others feel chills in their backs in this hot place.

Mu Ling saw that Wu Song's expression was abnormal, and said, "This is our guardian's fortress, and for hundreds of years, we have relied on this wall to resist the scarcity and protect the origin spar. ”

Wu Song said, "You and your ancestors are real heroes. ”

Mu Ling led Wu Song and them to the bottom of the city wall, where there was a closed gate. The gate is made of steel and looks very sturdy.

Mu Ling took a horn from his waist and blew it.

A moment later, the same trumpet sounded over the city walls.

Then, the door slowly opened. Three demon clans walked out of it, and one of the demon clans led by them was tall and had fiery red hair.

He looked at Wu Song and the others vigilantly, faced Mu Ling, and said, "Mu Ling, who are they?"

Mu Ling told Wu Song about their origins, and the city lord of Flying Eagle City took out the city lord's jade plate in order to prove his identity.

On the Xizhou Continent, every city lord has a jade plaque to prove his identity. On the occasion of the change of city lords, the jade plaque will be passed from the previous generation of city lords to the next generation of city lords.

When the younger brother of the city lord of Flying Eagle City staged a coup d'état, the city lord hid his jade plaque, and the younger brother of the city lord never found it.

Later, after the city lord was rescued by Wu Song, he retrieved the jade plate.

The demon clan led by the leader is named Jiayi, and unlike the wood spirit, Jiayi once left the place of purgatory and traveled outside, so he recognized the jade plate of the city lord.

Jiayi believed Wu Song and said, "Since that's the case, then you guys come in." ”

The Guardian's fortress was larger than what Wu Song had seen outside, and after entering the high city wall, there was a long doorway.

The hole was 20 meters deep, so it can be assumed that the thickness of the walls was at least 20 meters. This number made Wu Song secretly frightened, in the Dongzhou Continent, there were few city walls that would be so thick.

Even the walls of the capitals of various countries would not have been built so thick.

Because there is no need, the most powerful artillery can only blow up a large crater four or five meters deep. Generally, it is enough to build a wall to a thickness of ten meters.

The construction of such a thick wall is just to fight against the demon beast named Sorrow, so how powerful should that demon beast be?

After exiting the doorway, there is a huge courtyard. Groups of soldiers marched inside, stacked against the wall with weapons and other things.

There was a row of houses against the west wall, which seemed to be a resting place for soldiers.

Jiayi took Wu Song and them to a room in the southernmost part of the row of houses, which was a living room. Jiayi said, "You wait here for a while, our patriarch is arranging a task, and Mu Ling has already told him about you.

He will come to you in a moment. ”

After Jiayi left, Wu Song and the others discussed what to do next.

The City Lord of Flying Eagle City said, "We are not familiar with life here, and we can't do anything else except obey these people's arrangements. ”

Wu Song said worriedly, "What the city lord said is right, but I'm worried about other things. ”

"What's the matter?"

Wu Song muttered, "Just now when we walked all the way, I found that the defense here is very tight, which means that the demon beast called Sorrow is very powerful.

My fear is that if we stay here, we may be in danger. ”

Ba Mao said thoughtfully, "Are you worried that the Wanderer will break through this fortress?"

Wu Song said, "I can't rule out this possibility. ”

"So what are we going to do?"

Wu Song said, "I don't know, I can only take one step at a time." ”

About half an hour later, there was a rush of footsteps outside the room. Then, the door was slammed open from the outside.

A group of people walked in, and the leader of them was an old man, bald with a long white beard on his chin. On his wrinkled face, there were several scars.

One of them slashed through his right eye, causing him to be covered with a white puff, and he was presumably blind.

Mu Ling followed the old man's side and said to Wu Song and the others, "This is the patriarch of the Guardian Family, Musa. ”

Musa was wearing a full suit of armor and a long sword at his waist, he faced Wu Song and the others, and said in a loud voice, "You are from outside?"

Wu Song said, "We are from Flying Eagle City. ”

Musa looked at Wu Song with a look of surprise in his eyes, "You are a human race, I heard that the human race and the demon race have ceased fighting, but the two races are still on the same page, you can actually come here alive." ”

Wu Song said, "During this period, I also died for a lifetime, and it was pure luck to come here." ”

Musa looked at Yun Rong again and said, "This Terran woman must be the person of the possible legend, but I didn't expect it to be a blind person. ”

Wu Song said, "We are here to verify Yun Rong's identity, maybe she is not the legendary person of your demon clan. ”

Musa said, "No one dares to say whether the legendary person exists or not, and it is uncertain whether the Origin Crystal can verify her identity.

However, Mu Ling should have told you before. In three days, it will be the day when you wake up. When the time comes, they will attack here in a big way.

During this time, I don't allow any surprises to happen. So, you need to stay here until the Sorrow is resealed. ”

Wu Song said, "We will listen to your opinions and stay here." Also, I ask you that a few of us join the battle and help defend this place. ”

Musa said, "You want to join the battle? No, they are extremely dangerous, and dealing with them requires skillful skill and tacit cooperation between soldiers. Our Guardian family has been here for hundreds of years,

All the soldiers stayed together every day, and a tacit cooperation had been formed between them.
