The sky was just beginning to brighten, and a ray of sunlight from the horizon dyed the clouds a faint golden color.
In the abandoned city near the pumpkin farm.
The black and gray buildings were built one after another, and it was quiet. The surface of the buildings was dark and gloomy, and some of the doors and windows were smashed, leaving only a few remnants hanging on them.
In the center of the square, the sculpture in the middle of the circular fountain was slightly tilted, and the ground on the right side was sunken, and a deep crack appeared, as if someone had struck the crack from not far away, and hit the fountain, causing the sculpture to tilt.
On the left side of the fountain was an oval grassland, and there was only the base of the sculpture in the middle, but the sculpture was nowhere to be found.
The grassland was full of dark green dry grass, and it was gloomy and lifeless. The side was connected by chains and short stone pillars, forming a guardrail.
Beside the guardrail, a tall man in black armor was standing.
He stepped on the short stone pillar, and carefully scanned the surroundings.
The whole city was dead silent, and there was a faint creaking sound of the windows and doors being blown by the wind from afar.
The man took off his hood, revealing a handsome white face, soft golden hair draped over his shoulders, and there was a red birthmark between his eyebrows. It was Garon, who had followed the leader of the silver-masked men to escape.
He looked around, as if he was listening carefully for some sound.
A faint golden halo shone from behind, and landed beside his feet, illuminating a small part of the withered grassland.
"Come out, I can see you." Garon said calmly. His voice spread far and wide, and it kept stirring up real echoes in the city.
"You've been running for a day, and you've used up all your tricks. I don't believe that you still have short-distance positioning teleportation." Garon retracted his feet, and slowly walked around the fountain.
Suddenly, the black sludge at the bottom of the fountain moved slightly.
Wah!!
With an ear-piercing scream, the sludge suddenly flew away, and a blood-red shadow shot out from it, heading straight for Garon.
Bam!
The air behind Garon twisted slightly, and as if it was solid, it slammed the red shadow back, and it fell back into the sludge.
The red shadow rolled a few times in the sludge, and dizzily got up, revealing its entire appearance.
It was a blood-red halfling. He only had an upper body and no lower body. From the waist down, there were no other parts, as if he had been cut in half.
This blood-red Halfling had blood-red skin and firm muscles. Their heads, however, looked like locusts. They had long faces and two straight antennae on top of their heads. Their bodies were covered in a hard shell-like substance as if they were wearing a layer of armor.
The Halfling was only half the height of a human. After rolling a few times on the ground, it shook its head and stood up. It was actually floating in mid-air. There was no support for its lower body, so it just floated in mid-air.
He raised his two sharp claws and charged at Garon again. Halfway through, his upper body was bitten by an invisible giant mouth.
Crack!!
With a crisp sound, the Halfling shattered into countless pieces of red crystal, scattering all over the ground. Soon, all of the crystal melted completely, turning into pools of blood that seeped into the ground.
"The fifteenth one." Garon frowned slightly.
Ever since he left the Red Team, he had been chasing after the silver-masked man from the pumpkin farm. He chased after him for an entire night.
In this seemingly dead city, there were actually these blood-red Halfling creatures everywhere. They were everywhere, hiding in every possible corner, and would often attack people suddenly.
These Halfling creatures were very fast. If it was a normal totem user who did not specialize in speed, they would not be able to deal with them at all. However, Garen was different. His five senses were strong and his Secret Technique was terrifyingly accurate. He was able to use only two dragon heads to defend himself and he was invulnerable. Two shapeless dragon mouths with a diameter of more than one meter were like two shields that surrounded and defended Garen at all times.
Moreover, these Halfling creatures were not very strong. At most, they were at the level of a normal Form One totem. They could deal with normal people, but Garon …
Even if he stood still and let them hit him, he was not sure if they could break through his defense after a few hours.
Suddenly, a familiar sound of footsteps came from the depths of the city. It was hurried and tired. The sound was very weak, and he did not know how far it came from.
However, Garon obviously heard it. He smiled and walked towards the direction of the sound. He seemed to be moving slowly, but every step he took covered a distance of a few meters. It was equivalent to a normal person running at full speed.
The opponent probably did not have any energy left. He could not even maintain the acceleration tactic. Without the help of a totem, he could only run on his feet.
Garon estimated that even if he let him go, the opponent would not be able to survive for long in this dangerous city. There were not only Form One monsters in this city.
After chasing for a short distance, the footsteps in front of him became clearer.
In front of him, a black dot had just entered an abandoned library building.
The library was in the shape of a mountain, with three spires at the top. In front of the main door, there were two black and grey statues with bat wings.
Garon quickly chased after it. His footsteps echoed in the empty city, as if there were many people running together.
Mars!!
It sounded like the angry roar of a burly man. A deep and loud roar came from the library. Even the ground was shaking violently. Some of the pebbles even jumped up because of the sound.
The sound seemed to be a language, but also a meaningless roar.
Bang!!
Accompanied by the sound of glass shattering, a figure shot out from the library. It flew in a parabola and landed heavily on a statue in front of the library. After a muffled sound, it rolled off the statue and laid on the ground.
It was the silver masked man in black who had just run into the library.
He gasped for air and tried to get up from the ground. However, it seemed like his waist was twisted and he could not get up.
Bang! Bang bang!!
Heavy footsteps came from the library. It seemed like a huge monster was walking back and forth.
Soon, the footsteps disappeared and everything returned to silence.
Garon looked at the library from afar. He did not know what kind of monster was hiding in there. It looked very powerful.
However, his first goal was to catch the silver masked man.
He stepped on the ground and his whole body left a trail of black shadows. In an instant, he crossed hundreds of meters and stood in front of the silver masked man.
The opponent also saw the sudden appearance of the shadow. The shadow covered his head and appeared from behind.
He froze.
"You finally caught up." Under the mask, his voice sounded unusually bitter. "According to the aristocratic law, I have the right to pay the price for my actions in exchange for my life and freedom. I hope that you, as a fellow aristocrat, will allow me to redeem myself. "
"What's inside?" Garon did not answer. Instead, he looked in the direction of the library with interest.
The opponent was stunned by his leaps and bounds. Then, he reacted. "I don't know." He laughed bitterly.
"I was here last week. This monster did not exist then. Now, it suddenly appeared. It's like it suddenly jumped out from a crack in a rock. We have surveyed the surroundings and there are no such huge monsters within hundreds of kilometers. "
"You don't know?" Garon was slightly stunned. "Weren't these monsters created by you?"
"That's right." The silver masked man shook his head. "However, everything seemed to be out of control after the people of Black Sky discovered the black copper mine. I can swear that I have participated in most of the monster experiments in Black Sky. I have never seen a monster in such a form. Never! "
Garon suddenly recalled the existence of the troll in the city. If the troll in the city was also created by Black Sky's monster experiments, no one would believe it. If Black Sky could create such a strong monster, they could have unified the world long ago.
"You said black copper mine just now? What is that? "He asked again. This was something he had never heard of before.
The silver masked man secretly sighed in relief.
"If you promise not to kill me, I'll tell you everything I know."
"Sure." Garon nodded. "I still need you to help me contact the other members of Black Sky. How could I bear to kill you?"
The silver masked man was stunned. Looking at Garon's matter-of-fact expression, he was speechless for a moment.
"I am extremely regretful now. If I knew this matter was so troublesome, I would not have acted on my own."
"Tell me, what is the black copper mine?" Garon asked calmly.
The silver masked man struggled to get up from the ground. He leaned against the base of the statue and gasped.
"The black copper mine can be said to be the source of all monster mutations. I was originally a high-level forger in Black Sky's experiments, so I know these secrets very well. "
He took out a small bottle with a red liquid from his chest.
"Do you mind if I drink some medicine?"
"Of course." Garon nodded. "Your body is in a bad condition. Even if you can run away, I can still catch you again. "
The silver masked man laughed bitterly.
"In the beginning, we found an abandoned altar in the underground of a ruin. The altar was completely made of a metal that was neither gold nor silver. Its entire body was pitch black, but it was not the metal or copper that we are familiar with. An investigator from Black Sky was the first to find the altar. After discovering this brand new metal, the entire Black Sky became interested. We sent a large number of researchers into the altar to study this strange metal. "
"The altar itself was useless. It had been abandoned for a long time. However, after cutting and studying the metal used to make the altar, the researchers made a shocking discovery. "
"What discovery?" Garon's curiosity was piqued.
"They found that the metal's characteristics were very similar to copper, so they simply named it black copper. Not only the altar, but under the altar, there was a shocking amount of black copper mine." The silver masked man laughed bitterly again. "This black copper metal actually carries a shocking amount of activity."
"Activity?"
