.Chapter 2058
2058 The end of the road (1)
Everything had been arranged properly. There was basically nothing left out. He would retreat once he succeeded. At this moment, it was time for Tang Zhen to leave.
Taking down a city and obtaining useful information at the same time, it could be said that he had gained a lot from this battle.
Regardless of whether it was Tang Zhen or the despairing person, this was something that was worth being happy about.
Tang Zhen didn’t plan to take the puppet giant tree away. Although this thing was magical, it wasn’t convenient to bring it with him.
If it was left to the despairing people, it could still increase their strength. It must be known that if the giant tree puppet went all out, it would be even stronger than the leader of the bizzare cavalry.
The only weakness might be that they couldn’t have enough intelligence and complex thinking like real living creatures.
Of course, the premise of controlling the giant tree puppet was to absorb enough divine stones. Otherwise, the giant tree puppet could only use the basic fighting methods and could not unleash its full combat power.
Fortunately, there was a God’s stone mine in the city that could support the puppet tree. It should not be a problem.
He did not inform anyone when he left. He just walked slowly along the Broken Road and soon disappeared at the end of the street.
At this moment, Tang Zhen did not know that there were many silent figures standing on the city wall and Street behind him. They were currently bowing and sending him off.
The dwarf, Xiao Wu, and the others who had long guessed that Tang Zhen was about to leave didn’t open their mouths to ask him to stay. They only silently bowed and bid farewell.
This was because they knew that Tang Zhen had already done enough. Moreover, he did not belong here.
They had come quietly, but on a grand scale, leaving behind a legend.
Even though many years had passed, one could still hear Tang Zhen’s name from the despairing people in this city.
To the despairing people, Tang Zhen was a spiritual faith to let them know that the remnants of Scandinavia were nothing more than this.
Tang Zhen’s current target was the trial area that only God’s Apostle could enter. However, he did not expect that the process of advancing would not be smooth.
Along the way, there were always despairing people who appeared from time to time. They were filled with malice and tried to Rob or even kill Tang Zhen.
When he passed by the city, there would be officers and soldiers who would try to capture him and throw him into the mine to dig for divine stones.
Every time he encountered such a situation, Tang Zhen would directly pull out his knife to solve the problem and would absolutely not waste his breath.
He would never show mercy to such an enemy.
Sometimes, when he encountered a group of soldiers, Tang Zhen would even directly kill his way into the city and set off a bloody storm.
This was the evil thought in his body causing trouble. However, Tang Zhen did not deliberately suppress it. Instead, he relaxed the seal at an appropriate time to prevent it from accumulating and losing control.
After killing the remnant of God nation, Tang Zhen would also enter the mine to rescue the despairing people and take away all the divine stones produced in the mine.
This item could be used to set up runic magic circles, so it was good to collect more of it. Who knew when it would come in handy?
As Tang Zhen advanced, he passed by over a dozen cities. His fierce reputation also became increasingly prominent.
Even his clothes and appearance were spread, painted by professional painters and handed to the soldiers guarding the city gate.
The purpose of the remnants of the kingdom of God doing this was not to pursue and capture Tang Zhen, but to remind the soldiers not to provoke him easily after seeing him.
This was because the previous example had already proven that as long as Tang Zhen was allowed to pass through the city quietly, nothing would happen.
However, if he treated him like the other despaired people and tried to make things difficult for him, the consequences would be very serious.
Therefore, after learning from their experience, these remnants of Scandinavia put away their arrogance, which was rare. If it was not necessary, they would definitely not provoke him.
However, the hatred of the remnants of Scandinavia towards desperators had long been deeply rooted. Even if they were once servants, they still regarded desperators as lowly.
It was precisely because they were influenced by this concept that some despaired people began to take the initiative to track Tang Zhen and vowed to kill him to protect the glory of Scandinavia’s survivors.
At the start, there were only a dozen or so people, but it slowly grew to several hundred. And as they advanced, the number continued to increase.
Those who participated in the pursuit were all spell casters. They believed that they could definitely kill Tang Zhen with their own methods.
Just as Tang Zhen was about to reach the trial area, these spell casters finally caught up to him and launched their attacks without any explanation.
There were still a large number of spectators in the distance. They watched the scene of hundreds of spell casters surrounding Tang Zhen. Each and every one of them was so excited that their breathing quickened. They were certain that Tang Zhen would die without a doubt!
However, the result of the battle was beyond the expectations of all the remnants of Scandinavia.
In just a few minutes, Tang Zhen had killed all the spell casters, leaving no one alive.
Looking at the corpses that covered the ground, the remnants of the kingdom of God who were watching the battle from afar were scared out of their wits. They turned around and fled without hesitation.
In their eyes, Tang Zhen was far more terrifying than the most powerful monster in the forest, and they would avoid him like the plague.
Tang Zhen’s eyes were filled with iciness as he looked at the fleeing remnant citizens of Scandinavia. If it wasn’t because time didn’t allow him to do so, he would definitely let these people have a taste of the consequences of provoking him.
However, he wouldn’t let these spectators off either. They were all jackals of the same tribe, so it wasn’t too much to kill them all.
He waved his hand in front of him, and the road immediately burst into flames, engulfing the remnants of the divine Kingdom.
By the time the flames were extinguished, all that was left was a pile of ashes. The spectators had not even left behind a corpse.
Tang Zhen turned around and glanced at the mountain peak behind him that had been chiseled and carved into rows of huge stone statues. He then slowly walked up the stairs.
No one knew how many years these giant stone statues had existed. Their surfaces were covered with black traces of erosion from the wind and rain, and some places were even covered in green moss.
They looked down at the pedestrians on the road, their eyes full of dignity, warning those who overestimated themselves to leave the area as soon as possible.
In the wild grass below the statue, there were countless bones scattered around, many of which had rotted into dregs.
It was clear that in the past years, there had been more than one brutal battle here, and the corpses of the losers had been casually thrown away.
Over time, it had formed such a terrifying scene that made people feel gloomy and terrifying.
Tang Zhen, who was used to seeing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, was naturally not intimidated by such a scene. At this moment, his eyes were looking at the end of the stairs. There was a huge square there.
More than twenty stone pillars stood in the square, their surfaces covered with all kinds of runes, and complex patterns were also faintly visible on the mosses-covered ground.
Although he had yet to reach it, Tang Zhen was already certain that this should be a teleportation array.
If one wanted to go to the trial area, they had to go through the teleportation array and not walk there directly.
Around the teleportation array sat nine old-looking, long-robed survivors of the divine Kingdom.
They sat cross-legged as if they were meditating, but their bodies were floating about three feet above the ground.
Nine ferocious looking beasts and monsters were currently crouching beside these old men. When they saw Tang Zhen walk in, these ferocious beasts revealed a cruel glint.
It was as if in their eyes, Tang Zhen was a delicious food that had been delivered to their door, causing them to be unable to wait to enjoy it.
These nine survivors of the divine Kingdom dressed as spell casters were obviously the last barrier to stop the despairing ones, causing them to truly fall into complete despair.
The despaired ones who could make it this far were not easy to deal with. Even if they could not become spell casters, they still had powerful abilities.
Especially some special races, who had super strong defense and strong close combat skills. Even the remnants of the God Kingdom would be afraid of them.
Therefore, to be able to appear in such a place to guard the last interception point, they were obviously not simple people.
Tang Zhen faintly understood where the skeletons under the huge statues came from. Clearly, they were all despaired people who had come here after going through great hardships. Yet, they had collapsed at the last moment with unwillingness in their hearts.
Perhaps it was because of the endless resentment in the bones that made people feel gloomy and desolate.
