Zul'baha, the capital of the continent of Zoxik
Was completely different from the hybrid demon cities that Han Dong had seen before.
There were no roads filled with large intestines or meat balloon buildings floating in the air like Toad City.
There were also no medieval buildings that retained the [original] human flavor like the city of London.
Instead, it was an extremely different kind of city that was dominated by the 'cemetery style'.
In other words, there were not many buildings standing on the ground.
There were mass graves of all sizes on both sides of the street. Group cemeteries.
Or a cemetery managed by the [Tomb Keeper] rules.
Or a separate underground tomb with powerful living dead guards.
If one had to compare it to human society, it could probably be compared to collective dormitories, apartments, communities, and villas.
Whether it was residential houses or shops, they were all located underground.
Among the buildings that stood on the ground, there were only a few mechanical factories with flesh and bones as the theme.
Some of them could clearly feel the surge of biological energy. They belonged to energy factories.
Some of them were directly built with huge gear structures on the outside. Smoke pipes were constantly emitting steam. They should be processing plants for machine-related materials, props, or equipment.
However …
Among them, there was also one that was the most eye-catching and unique.
A special building that was more than a hundred meters tall had a huge meat grinder installed on the top. The entire factory emitted an extremely strong smell of meat.
Han Dong estimated that this should be a slaughterhouse for 'physical transformation', 'food manufacturing', or 'suturing'.
After all …
Han Dong had studied ghouls for several years, and he had reached a very deep level of research.
It was very clear that "ghouls" belonged to a kind of perfect experimental body with extremely high plasticity and almost no xenophobic reaction.
Whether it was the optimal cultivation of fertility …
It was possible to inject strengthening agents into their bodies or directly dismantle their limbs to assemble their bodies. As the capital of ghouls, they would definitely make good use of this characteristic to create an incomparably powerful ghoul monster.
Just as Han Dong was observing.
An old ghoul with a severely bulging back and a body folded at 100 degrees crawled out of a tomb not far away and slowly came in front of Han Dong.
In his rotten mouth, the shriveled hybrid demon language came out together with a green gas of mixed bacteria.
"The two of you have a rare smell of the ocean on your bodies. You should be from a remote port city, right?
In this extraordinary period, you did not hesitate to take the risk to come to the capital.
I think you should have salvaged a lot of good goods at the port, right? I, Bassel Screwbone, would be happy to take a look at your goods.
If the quality is good, I'm willing to buy it at a high price. "
Han Dong glanced at this person, and his Demonic Eye instantly achieved perfect penetration.
[Mature Hybrid Demon]. It was 273 years old … it was quite an old zombie. If it was a local, it would be quite familiar with the situation in the capital and could be used to its advantage.
"Can you be our guide? Mr. Basel. "
"I …"
This Bassel Spiral was naturally not a good person. He specifically targeted some unfamiliar foreign peddlers, and in the end, he would lose both his money and his life.
However, when he saw the strange black and red smile on the young man's face …
It was as if something had taken root in his brain, and there was no way to resist it.
At the same time, the young man's words were like an order that had been implanted into his soul, and he could not go against it.
Moreover, if one obeyed the young man's orders, one's body and soul would receive an unprecedented pleasure.
"I'm very happy to be your guide. I've been born and raised here for more than two hundred years. At the same time, I have some knowledge of the 'underground network'.
No matter where you want to go or what you want to do, I can help you take fewer detours. "
"Excuse me, how do I get to the [Bone Vault]?"
If Han Dong asked about other areas, Basel would answer without hesitation.
But when the words "Bone Vault" were taken into his brain,
It instantly aroused an indescribable strong reaction in Basel's soul.
His expression was extremely ferocious, and his body was twitching slightly … There was a faint tendency to break free from the influence of the Mad Laughter.
Seeing this, Han Dong quickly put a hand on his shoulder.
He instantly suppressed the abnormal state of his body and deepened the control of the Mad Laughter at the same time.
"What's wrong, Mr. Basel?"
"Just now … I felt a little uncomfortable.
Do you want to go to [My King's Residence – Bone Vault]? "
"Yes, we came from the outside world and have important information to convey."
"Oh, so that's the case.
However, my king is receiving an important guest recently.
Currently, the stairs leading to the Bone Vault in the [Great Burial Area] are in a state of lockdown. If you want to go to the Bone Vault, at least wait until the reception is over. "
"Which important guest?"
"I don't know. In short, it's a guest that my king is very interested in."
"How long do we have to wait?"
"The reception started today. I estimate that we have to wait at least two days, or even longer …"
"Okay, take us to the [Great Burial Area] first."
"That's fine, please follow me."
Along the flat and open streets to the center of the capital, they often encountered believers in small groups, wearing black cloaks and imprinted with the "Gear Skull" mark.
Similar to the believers on the bus before, most of them were mature, and only the leader was atavistic.
In addition to the patrol team of the [Gear Secret Sect],
There were also special patrols patrolling the streets of the capital in individual units.
They were very different from the regular ghouls or believers. Even Han Dong was very interested.
Their physique was often more than five meters.
Every step they took would leave a strong plague smell on the ground.
Dark green skin matched with well-defined strong muscles. At the same time, there were large and small mouths on the surface of the skin, and twisted tongues were sticking out at any time.
Their eyes were covered by bandages.
Their noses were completely cut off.
Their ears were completely pierced through by a long and thick iron nail.
Only a terrifying mouth that was completely cracked open and almost split the head into two halves was left. The inside of the mouth was filled with dense teeth and many extremely flexible tongues (the isomerization of tentacles), which could easily capture and devour the target.
In his hand was a burlap bag full of corpses. Every time he finished patrolling a street, he would take out a corpse as a reward for his hard work.
Han Dong seemed to have seen this feeling somewhere before.
After a simple search in his mind, he thought of the first game in the [Ladybug Game].
When Eugene activated the Demonic Book, he had a similar feeling.
"These are?"
Basel quickly pulled Han Dong to the side, trying to stay as far away from such patrols as possible.
"These are the Corpse Eaters! They come from the [Bone Vault], an army built by the king himself … They usually don't leave the [Bone Vault].
If you encounter these guys, you must stay away from them.
They can't control their appetite and can eat us as food at any time. "
"As expected, they are related to the [Corpse Eaters' Ritual] … Very powerful guards."
The closer they got to the center of the capital, the greater the density of the Corpse Eaters.
Han Dong and the others had been checked several times. It was not easy for them to get close to the center of the city. There was a circular pit with a diameter of ten thousand meters — the [Great Burial Area].
Those who could be buried here were ghouls with prominent identities, great achievements, or powerful abilities.
At the center of the deep pit.
It corresponded to the "final staircase" that led to the [Bone Vault]. Currently, it was sealed by a stone door with an unknown powerful seal. There were also huge Corpse Eaters tied up on both sides.
"Looks like we really have to wait a few days."
Since they were already here, Han Dong did not mind delaying for two days.
Just as he was about to leave,
As he turned around, the Demonic Eye swept past a certain direction and vaguely caught a glimpse of a "foreign object" … A group of special individuals that did not belong to the ghouls.
When Han Dong tried to observe further, he did not find anything unusual.
In this situation, Han Dong would never admit that his eyes were playing tricks on him or that he had seen wrongly.
"Just now, the Demonic Eye's adaptive observation should have caught something … Could it be that the ghoul capital has been infiltrated? This is the territory of the old king. What is so arrogant? "
