Chapter 582: The Land of Calamity
It didn't take long for the emperor to announce the official start of the assessment.
With that, he used his skills to cast a multicolored aura, injected it into the ancient stone door, and opened the portal.
Duanmu Yulong and Qianshan Zhenwu and others took the lead in ascending the high platform and stepped into the portal.
"Huh!"
As soon as the white light flashed, the figures of Duanmu Yulong and Qianshan Zhenwu disappeared into the portal.
Ji Tianxing finally entered the portal, and after passing through the portal, he was teleported to Giant Spirit City like the other nine candidates.
At this time, the emperor exerted his majestic power and opened the formation on the high platform.
As a result, a white light mask with a radius of tens of meters appeared on the high platform.
The surface of the mask resembled a mirror or screen, showing a picture of the city of the Djinn and the figures of the ten candidates.
The nearly 10,000 people in the square can see the movements of Ji Tianxing and others in real time through the pictures on the mask.
In this way, the second round of assessment was carried out under the supervision of the people.
What Ji Tianxing and the others did in the Giant Spirit City will be presented in front of everyone without omission.
......
As soon as the white light flashed, Ji Tianxing saw that the scene in front of him had changed.
He appeared out of thin air in a black-brown wasteland, stepping on countless broken bluestone blocks under his feet.
When he looked down, he saw that the broken stones were originally stone slabs paved with bluestone avenues.
There was a howling cold wind blowing around, with a bit of chill and a sense of slaughter.
The sky was overcast with large gray mist clouds, which made the light between heaven and earth dim and the atmosphere very oppressive.
Ji Tianxing looked up and saw that a thousand meters in front of him, there was a black-brown ancient city.
It was a huge and majestic ancient city, with a towering wall of 100 meters high and a wide gate that could accommodate ten horses in parallel.
On the lintel above the city gate, there are three large characters engraved with simple vicissitudes.
Djinn City!
There is also a wide moat outside the city gate, and in the moat nearly 100 meters wide, there is a boiling river flowing turbulently.
However, this quaint and majestic city, which looks like it is thousands of years old, is now in a dilapidated state.
The tall and wide city gate was ajar, and the gate drawbridge had long been broken and scattered on the ground.
The majestic and sturdy boulder city wall also cracked huge gaps, revealing many gaps.
Broken pieces of masonry were scattered on the ground and in the moat.
The wide moat had long since been blocked, and the boiling water had been stopped, overflowing the banks and pouring into the gates.
Ji Tianxing could still clearly hear the sound of cries and shouts everywhere in the city, and even raging fires and thick smoke rising into the sky.
There is no doubt that this ancient and vicissitudes of the giant spirit city has just experienced a catastrophe.
Ji Tianxing frowned and observed for a moment, then frowned and muttered in a low voice: "What disaster has this Giant Spirit City experienced? Is it a natural disaster or a war?"
There was no answer, and he could only know when he entered the city to investigate.
Several other candidates are clearly in the same mind.
After a few glances at the city gate, they all stepped through the black-brown moor and hurried to the city gate.
Ji Tianxing was not far behind, and hurriedly followed the footsteps of the candidates and arrived at the city gate.
The wide gate was littered with huge fragments of masonry, as well as fragments of weapons and armor, as well as the corpses of a dozen guards.
But other than that, no living guards appeared inside or outside the gates.
When several candidates found out about this, some people immediately opened their mouths to express their opinions.
Duanmu Yulong said with a solemn face: "We are very unfamiliar with this Giant Spirit City, and we don't know what is going on here.
It is imperative that we enter the city as soon as possible and investigate what the disaster is so that we can find a way to save the people. ”
Among the ten candidates, his identity is the most noble, and there is a faint sense of controlling the overall situation and pointing out the country in his tone.
Qianshan Zhenwu exuded a majestic momentum, his face was gloomy, and he said in a solemn tone: "The city gate is half-hidden, and more than a dozen guards have been killed in battle, but no other guards have appeared.
Such a completely undefended situation can only show one problem, there must be heavy casualties in the Djinn City, and the whole city is in chaos.
In my opinion, we should first enter the city, learn from the people, pacify the people as soon as possible, and control the chaos in the city......"
As everyone knows, Qianshan Zhenwu is the lord of Smoke Wing City and has rich experience in managing the city.
This assessment was very beneficial to him, and his chances of winning the domain master skyrocketed.
And what he said was also a goal-oriented and well-organized decision.
Several candidates immediately nodded their heads, all agreeing with Chiyama's words.
Everyone stepped over the masonry ruins in the city gate and entered the Djinn City to check the situation in the city.
Duanmu Yulong spoke for the first time, wanting to show his majesty and establish his prestige as soon as possible.
But he didn't expect that Qianshan Zhenwu's seemingly casual words would suppress his limelight and win the support of several Tianjiao.
This made him a little displeased, and he frowned, and the thought of competing with Qianshan Zhenwu was born in his heart.
After all, in everyone's opinion, this battle of the Tianchen Domain Lord will definitely divide the victory and defeat and the result between him and Qianshan Zhenwu.
But everyone didn't notice that Ji Tianxing, who had been obscure, not only looked at the surrounding situation with keen eyes, but also carefully observed a few cracks.
Even the bodies of the guards who were buried in the rubble, tattered into meat sauce, he examined them.
Although he did not speak, he already had predictions and judgments in his heart.
"Judging from the damage to the city walls and gates, the disaster in Djinn City is not a natural disaster, nor is it a war, but an invasion by a strong man.
The dozen or so guards guarding the city were not killed by weapons, but were directly shocked to death by the powerful shock wave, and their bodies were smashed into meat sauce by rubble. ”
While this thought flashed in his heart, Ji Tianxing was also secretly vigilant.
In the strange city of Djinn, no one knows what danger will be, and he must act steadily.
After a while, everyone entered the giant spirit city and saw the situation in the city clearly.
I saw that the wide street in the city had long been twisted and broken, and there were many ravines and potholes.
Most of the high-rise buildings and buildings on both sides of the street are dilapidated, or crumbling and collapsed, turning the ground into ruins.
Flames and smoke rose in many places.
There were also many people who were seriously injured and panicked, and while fleeing in a panic, they kept screaming in grief and indignation.
Duanmu Yulong and a few candidates hurriedly stopped a few people who fled in panic and asked what was happening in the city.
The people were overly frightened, and their minds were a little confused.
Either they say a lot of emotions but don't make sense of it, or they just shout so much that they can't say a complete sentence at all.
