Three hundred and sixtieth eight chapters gift or curse
Bang!
When he landed, Lu Qi didn't forget to roll forward, relieving the impact of his fall.
After completing this action, Lu Qi did not forget to turn his head to confirm Laura's status. After seeing that she was fine, he raised his head to observe the surrounding environment.
After crossing the outer wall, they officially entered the inner city of the Lost City.
The urban design of the inner city is not much different from that of medieval cities.
Various dilapidated buildings are lined up in rows and orderly throughout the city. Streets, large and small, finally converge in front of a gate in the distance.
That is the only passage to the deeper parts of the inner city, and it is also where they will go next.
However, before that, they must first get rid of the undead legions behind them...
Thinking of this, Lu Qi bent down and took small, silent steps to the edge of the roof.
He poked his head slightly and looked down, and he happened to see a group of undead legions patrolling the streets.
Lu Qi was not surprised at all. He returned to Laura again and analyzed in a low voice:
"The undead army already knows that we have come in and will definitely search for our traces everywhere. We'd better find a place to avoid the limelight first..."
"good."
After that, the two of them walked towards the stairs...
Not long after the two of them left the roof, several undead warriors also rushed to the inner city along the zipline!
Looking around, the guardians of the Lost City found no trace of outsiders.
"They shouldn't be far away!"
"Blow the horn! Notify others and search for outsiders!"
"Don't let them get even half a step closer to the Chamber of Souls!"
Following the order from the captain of the undead army, an undead archer picked up the horn at his waist, put it to his mouth, and blew hard.
The next second, the long sound of "woo~woo~woo~" resounded throughout the inner city again!
...
Just as all the undead legions in the inner city began to divide into multiple teams to search for traces of outsiders, a natural ice cave located on the outskirts of the inner city...
Sitting against the ice wall, Lu Qi took out a bottle of water and two brown-packaged energy bars from his tool bag.
"Eat something first."
Seeing the energy bar handed over by Lu Qi, Laura, who seemed worried, shook her head, "I'm not hungry..."
However, Lu Qi did not take it back, but directly put the energy bar into her hand:
"You have to eat even if you're not hungry. Fighting and action consume a lot of energy. At times like this, it's even more important to keep your body in top condition."
Seeing Lu Qi's serious look, Laura didn't say anything, so she obediently tore open the wrapping paper and put the energy bar into her mouth.
In this way, the two of them hid in this secret ice cave and took a short rest...
As soon as he destroyed the energy bar, Lu Qi heard Laura's voice ringing in his ears;
"Although I don't know what an immortal person should look like, Jacob looks more like an ordinary human being than these undead legions."
"Especially Jacob, I can't imagine everything he has seen in his life and the experience and knowledge he has accumulated over the years."
"But he has been deceiving his people for this secret..."
After a pause, Laura slowly raised her head and looked at Lu Qi with doubtful eyes:
"This makes me wonder, what kind of power does the sacred source contain?"
"Will it allow humanity to understand the true nature of the soul, or will it facilitate extraordinary new discoveries in science?"
Facing Laura's confusion, Lu Qi just shrugged and then responded:
"I don't know. However, in my opinion, this is more like a curse than a gift."
"curse?"
"Yes, a curse that will only bring strife and death..."
"As far as I know, it seems that everyone related to the Holy Source will encounter misfortune. After obtaining the Holy Source, Jacob was hunted down by the Holy Trinity and fled to Siberia..."
"After that, Jacob's people became the next victims..."
"I'm thinking that maybe without the sacred source, they don't have to carry this heavy burden alone, and they can live a peaceful and tranquil life..."
While speaking, looking at Laura's thoughtful look, Lu Qi closed his mouth very wisely and allowed Laura to understand the meaning.
After lowering her head and thinking for a moment, Laura raised her head and said in an unquestionable tone:
"No matter what, at least one thing we can be sure of is that we cannot let such a thing fall into the hands of those ambitious guys from Holy Trinity!"
"We must get the sacred source first!"
...
After staying in the ice cave for about twenty minutes, the two quietly returned to the inner city.
Just as Lu Qi expected, the streets of the entire inner city were filled with patrolling undead legions.
In addition, some undead archers were placed on the roof of the building as sentries, monitoring every move in the city.
If it weren't for [Eagle Vision] and the two of them deliberately bypassing the main road and choosing a side road, the two of them would have been discovered by the enemy long ago.
Waiting patiently for the opportunity, they shuttled through the alleys of the city. It took the two of them about half an hour to arrive at a dilapidated building near the first gate.
Squatting by the window on the second floor, Lu Qi poked his head in. When he saw the large closed gate and the many undead warriors at the door, he couldn't help but frown.
Laura, who was squatting aside, looked up at the towering Soul Chamber in the distance and couldn't help but whisper:
"To reach the Soul Chamber, we must first pass through two gates. However, that means that we must engage in head-on combat with the enemies in front of these gates..."
"Maybe not..."
"Hmm? What can you do?"
Facing Lu Qi's probing gaze, Laura smiled back and suggested in a low voice:
"On the way here, I found a few trebuchets on the roof. Perhaps we can use them to blast open the gate..."
Hearing this, the corner of Lu Qi's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but mourn for half a second in his heart for the lost city where he was.
He is worthy of being an enemy of ancient tombs and a demolition expert. He is full of sexy ideas for demolition and is ready to bomb the ruins if he disagrees with him!
On the city wall, he had seen with his own eyes the tremendous power of those trebuchets.
Not to mention the splash of flames produced by the stone bullet soaked in Greek fire when it exploded, the impact power of the stone bullet alone was enough to smash a large hole in the gate.
However, in this situation where we are outnumbered, Laura's method is indeed the best choice.
At least this way, we avoid the huge risk of fighting a large number of enemies...
Thinking about it this way, Lu Qi suddenly didn't feel any regret for this lost city that had been built for nearly a thousand years.
Just blow it up. Anyway, finding this ruins is enough for him to complete his mission.
Chapter completed!
