Chapter 144 The Walking Dead
Ji Qiao slowly opened her lips and said in a calm tone: "Whether it is a puppet or a believer, does it really matter? In fact, there is not much difference between the two."
After he finished speaking, he walked into the room at a leisurely pace. Outside, Jiang Shang stood quietly, as if time had frozen at that moment, and he fell into a long silence. After a moment, he slowly moved his feet, took steady steps, and walked into the room.
Three days later, a group of people drove the ferocious Taotie majestically and slowly approached the city of Fengdu. They jumped off the Taotie swiftly, and Wang Hun looked solemn and solemnly ordered the Taotie to stay outside the city.
Everyone raised their eyes and looked forward, only to see the city in front of them towering, majestic and magnificent, with such a majestic momentum that was shocking.
Luanwu Kuangdao's eyes widened, and he could not help but exclaimed: "Wow, this is really spectacular! It is almost comparable to our Hades City, and it is hard to tell the difference."
Wang Hun nodded slightly, his expression solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Humans do not have the abundant physical strength and amazing work efficiency like you, the Hades. If we want to complete such a grand project in the same period of time, we will need at least thirty times more laborers than the Hades, and in this difficult process, many people will definitely pay a heavy price in life."
Luanwu Kuangdao shrugged helplessly, spread his hands and said: "There's nothing we can do. After all, not all humans are as powerful as you three."
Xing Xing You Lei raised her chin slightly and said softly: "Okay, now is not the time to chat, let's talk about business."
Wang Hun looked solemn and dignified, and said seriously: "After entering the city, everyone must be careful and cautious, and do not act rashly."
Everyone responded in unison: "Understood."
Luanwu Kuangdao looked at the tightly closed door and asked in confusion, "Why didn't anyone come to open the door?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of several heavy iron chains suddenly rang out, and the huge gate of Fengdu City slowly opened. Wang Hun's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he noticed the people who opened the door at a glance. He keenly noticed that these people did not have the slightest breath of soul.
When Wang Hun and the others arrived at the city gate, Ghost Forest was filled with emotion and said softly, "We are finally here again. The last time we came here was late at night, but now it is broad daylight. I really want to have a good time here."
Zongheng Tianxia looked serious and said solemnly: "Wang Hun said that this place is full of dangers."
Wang Hun seemed unconcerned and said calmly, "It doesn't matter. He's just a kid. Just be safe."
Ghost Forest retorted unconvincedly: "What kid? We are about the same age."
After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. Wu Geng was originally laughing, but suddenly he noticed something strange. His face became serious and he said in a deep voice: "The soldier who opened the door had a dull expression and his movements were rather stiff and slow. He didn't look like a living person at all."
Everyone was stunned, but Wang Hun remained calm and said calmly: "Look at their chests." Han Fenglinlin took a closer look and said slowly: "This is the egg of immortality. We saw it last time."
Xing Xing You Lei frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "It seems that planting the egg of immortality will turn out like this."
Wang Hun said decisively: "Keep going, don't show any abnormality."
In the square not far ahead, Ji Qiao stood quietly, like a sculpture, patiently waiting for their arrival, followed by dozens of priests. Wang Hun and others slowly walked towards Ji Qiao. When they gradually approached Ji Qiao, Ji Qiao spoke first, his face full of respect, bowing and saying: "This is the Lord of the Underworld, Wang Hun, I have heard of your great name for a long time."
Wang Hun responded against his will: "I have heard that Prince Ji Qiao is a man of both civil and military talents, and he is very handsome. Seeing him today, he is even better than before."
Ji Qiao laughed heartily and said, "You are too modest. You can take advantage of this rare opportunity to have a good exchange and broaden your horizons. You have come from the north and are our distinguished guests. You can go sightseeing around the city as you wish."
Wang Hun forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Prince Ji Qiao."
Prince Ji Qiao said, "No problem, the inn has been arranged, and someone will take you there, please."
Then, a priest came forward with a respectful look on his face and said, "Please follow me." Wang Hun followed without hesitation, and others followed suit.
Along the way, everyone discovered that Fengdu City was filled with an extremely strange atmosphere. There was not a single bird flying in the sky, no livestock in the city, and the residents did not interact with each other at all, just walking around stiffly like zombies.
The well was covered with thick dust, and it looked like no one had drunk water for a long time. Everyone knew that this was the price of growing the immortal egg.
At night, in the inn, everyone sat together and discussed things. Wu Geng asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Is planting the egg of immortality just to turn people into puppets?"
Before anyone could speak, Wang Hun suddenly said, "I think I know. Follow me."
Wang Hun strode out of the inn, and everyone hurriedly followed him. Wang Hun looked at the residents who looked like zombies and said, "Follow them."
The crowd followed without question. The residents had empty eyes, like a body without a soul, and were slowly moving towards a place. When they arrived at a place, the residents immediately knelt down. Everyone was amazed. They saw countless roots spreading from the immortal egg on the chest of the residents, and then a big tree rose from the ground with the residents as the center, and the tree was slowly covered with leaves and fruits. Everyone was stunned with surprise.
Xingxing Youlei said in surprise: "What's going on?"
Zi Yu looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "These plants are flowing with the Qi refining energy of Fantasy Island." Wu Geng said thoughtfully: "Many people in the city have been implanted with the eggs of immortality. Isn't Fengdu turned into farmland?"
Wang Hun said calmly: "This is what the Immortal Egg looks like. Let's go back."
Underground, countless vines spread out wantonly, interweaving into a mysterious space. Jiang Ziya stood there quietly, in front of him were six carefully woven thrones, on which six venerables sat, their figures exuding a mysterious aura. Jiang Shang reported the situation to the six venerables.
