Above the gray fog

The city wall towers into the clouds and is made of huge gray-white stone bricks, exuding an ancient and solid atmosphere.

Rows of sharp arrows stand on the top of the city wall, like silent guardians, silently watching the land under their feet.

There is a huge emblem inlaid on the city wall. The emblem is engraved with a big bird spreading its wings and about to fly, surrounded by complicated patterns. I don’t know what the symbolic meaning is.

The badge shines in the early morning sun, as if conveying a silent power to the little girl.

She should have collapsed immediately, but she continued to walk hard around the city wall, each step feeling extremely heavy.

Finally, she came to the gate of the city wall.

The door is thick and solemn, made of black iron plates, inlaid with golden decorations and engraved with ancient mythological stories.

A huge plaque hung above the door, with ancient characters written on it that Lin Shan didn't recognize.

There is a majestic beast statue on each side of the gate.

Seeing the door brought tears to the little girl's eyes, this time tears of joy.

She succeeded.

She clutched her bones tightly, trying to take the last few steps towards the city wall.

Snap!

There was a soft sound and the girl fell to the ground.

She blinked and tried to stand up, but found that she couldn't use any strength in her body, and there was only endless pain.

Through the slightly opened door, she could see the bustling scene inside.

People are coming and going on the wide streets, the shouts of vendors come and go, and the laughter of children echoes in the air.

The streets are lined with shops selling a wide variety of goods, and the air is filled with the smell of baking bread and spices.

In the distance, the majestic buildings and towering bell towers sparkled in the sun, and the whole city seemed like a prosperous paradise.

After blinking a few times, the world went dark.

Looking at the unconscious girl, Lin Shan fell into deep thought.

Was he sealed in this bone really just because of karma?

Was the encounter with this girl really just a simple accident?

What is going on in this world...the density of raw energy is so dense.

Those wild grasses and flowers on the roadside...are they all fairy food?

Staring at the dying girl, Lin Shan was not worried at all that she would die here.

I have gotten here by luck along the way. It would be a bit ridiculous if I died here, in front of the city gate that was the hope in the girl's eyes.

The facts were just as Lin Shan thought. The guards on the other side of the city gate seemed to have heard the movement outside and came to check.

Seeing a little girl lying outside the city gate, they did not immediately come to the rescue. Instead, they cautiously approached slowly with the spears in their hands.

Until I saw the pendant hanging around the girl's neck.

"It's a villager from Molu Village, hurry! Carry him in for treatment."

The guard wanted to take away the clenched black bone in the girl's hand.

But the girl held on tightly and refused to let go.

The guard didn't want to hurt the poor girl, so he placed the bone and her hand on her chest, and then two men carried the girl into the city, one lifting the shoulders and the other lifting the legs.

Lin Shan observed the guards in the bones, and beyond his expectation, these guards actually had the strength of Sequence 7.

The girl was carried into the other side of the city gate by the guards and placed on a square box.

As one of the guards clicked something on the box, the box immediately floated up and flew deep into the city.

Lin Shan spread his mental power as much as possible, capturing the breath in the air that had not completely escaped.

Although the specific number is unknown, Lin Shan dares to conclude that there are many strong people in this city, and the strongest ones have even reached the level of Sequence 3.

The box finally landed in a large square.

The square is surrounded by tall outer walls.

The girl was carried into the high-walled building and placed on a bed.

The so-called treatment was to use a metal needle to inject a tube of medicinal liquid into her arm. The medicinal liquid was obviously very effective, and the girl's face immediately turned rosy.

Then, she was placed on a bed engraved with rituals, and a faint and thin life force poured into the girl's body. Just two hours later, the girl regained her ability to move as if nothing was wrong.

"Where is this?" The girl got out of bed immediately after waking up, holding the black bone in her hand tightly.

She remembered that it was this bone that brought her out of the dangerous forest.

"You're awake. This is Beiliyuan White Medical Clinic. You were brought here by the guards outside the city. Now that you have recovered, Commander Wade wants to see you. I will lead the way for you now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden man who had been leaning against the wall suddenly had a red light in his eyes, and then he started to move.

"Please." The wooden man made a hoarse voice and looked like a simple wooden pile.

The girl seemed to have seen wooden men before and was not surprised by this.

She followed the wooden man out of the room and down a long corridor.

Ancient murals hang on the walls, depicting epic battles and heroic deeds.

At the end of the corridor, a heavy wooden door slowly opened, and the girl followed the wooden man into a spacious hall.

The hall was gorgeously decorated, and the girl's eyes were attracted by a man in the center of the hall. The man was tall, with a serious face and gray hair.

Lin Shan is also observing this person. He is just a small leader, but he has the strength of Sequence 4. The level of combat power here has exceeded some of the abyss.

The man didn't care about the black bone in the girl's hand, but tried to communicate with her with his mental power. Although the girl could hear him, she couldn't use mental power or write, so she could only shake her head and nod. This way of communication required patience, and the man on the other side obviously didn't have that patience.

"Poor girl, wait here for a while, and I'll settle you down after I find out the situation."

The man said with pity.

Then, the girl was taken to a small house with four closed sides.

This place didn't look like a place to entertain guests, but more like a simple prison cell.

Lin Shan was a little alert, because the man just now exuded a faint breath of the Outer God.

The girl was locked in this room for several days, and the guards brought her food on time every day.

She was not treated as a guest at all, but was completely imprisoned.

One day, the door of the cell was suddenly opened completely.

The previous Sequence 4 person walked in and closed the door with an evil smile on his face.

"I understand your story. The whole village was massacred. It was too tragic. It was done by beasts. Those guys had no IQ and only thought about eating."

As he spoke, his expression gradually twisted.

His body began to change, becoming extremely disgusting, with hair and tentacles growing all over his body, and maggots crawling on his body.

Lin Shan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this scene.

As an old opponent, he would not be wrong. This is a pure Outer God.

"So this world is also fighting against the Outer God? What kind of world is this? Is it another gray fog universe?"

Lin Shan was full of doubts, but he could only helplessly observe the development of the situation.

The girl was frightened by this terrifying image and pressed against the wall.

Lin Shan sighed in his heart. Ordinary people must have no way to survive in the hands of Sequence 4.

However, in this situation where death was inevitable, the goddess of luck favored the girl again.
