276. Chapter 273 The Secret of Huangquan City

  Chapter 273 The Secret of Huangquan City

  After leaving Liuhuo City, Minghe asked, “Are we going to Juetian City now?”

  ”No, we’re going to Huangquan City,” Xu Zimo shook his head and said.

  ”You want to help old man Wu find his son?” Minghe was startled, and reacted instantly.

  ”Go and get the heirloom stone of old man Wu, and then tell him that I have accepted his request,” Xu Zimo replied.

  ”But if you don’t help him find his son, he will definitely not give you the heirloom stone in advance,” Minghe replied.

  ”That’s why I asked you to get it,” Xu Zimo replied indifferently.

  …………

  The legend of Huangquan City has been around for a long time.

  This was once an ordinary city.

  About a few hundred years ago, almost half of the citizens in the city died tragically overnight.

  Since then, the entire city seems to be cursed.

  Except for the remaining half of the citizens, anyone else who enters the city will die.

  No bones are left, and no sound or trace is left.

  In the early days, some people came to Huangquan City to live, wanting to walk out of here alive and break the legendary curse.

  But in the end, as more and more people died, this place gradually became a dangerous place.

  Listening to Minghe’s introduction along the way, the two had already arrived at the foot of Huangquan City.

  Xu Zimo got the heirloom stone of old man Wu, which was snatched from old man Wu by Minghe.

  Although it was robbed, Xu Zimo did not leave, and still planned to go to Huangquan City to take a look.

  ………

  Looking at the gloomy city in front of him, Xu Zimo always felt a little depressed.

  The city gate was wide open, and there were no guards on both sides.

  The two walked into the city, and the streets were a little deserted.

  Except for a few townspeople walking around occasionally, there was almost no popularity.

  In broad daylight, it seemed that everyone was hiding in the room.

  ”Are you afraid?” Xu Zimo looked at Minghe and asked with a smile.

  ”What is there to be afraid of for a Divine Vein Realm like me, unless this demon has already become an immortal,” Minghe shook his head and replied.

  ”Besides, don’t you still have it?”

  Hearing Minghe’s words, Xu Zimo smiled, and the two continued to walk into the city.

  Xu Zimo looked around and found that there was nothing suspicious about Huangquan City.

  Except for being deserted, it was no different from other cities.

  When the residents of this city saw Xu Zimo and the others, they also looked at them from a distance and quickly avoided them.

  After the two of them walked around the city, they did not find anything unusual.

  In a blink of an eye, it was already afternoon.

  There was only one inn in the entire huge city.

  ”Huangquan Inn.”

  Xu Zimo walked into the inn, and the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him.

  ”Are you two guests staying in the hotel?” The shopkeeper asked hurriedly.

  Xu Zimo nodded, and after the two of them opened the room and prepared the food, they chatted with the shopkeeper.

  The shopkeeper’s surname was Sun, and he had lived in Huangquan City for more than a hundred years.

  ”Shopkeeper Sun, your inn is really deserted,” Xu Zimo said with a smile.

  ”The curse is making a lot of noise, who would come here to stay,” Shopkeeper Sun said, looking up.

  ”You have lived here for so long, haven’t you found anything unusual?” Xu Zimo asked.

  ”No, it’s just that all the people who came here disappeared, and I don’t know how they disappeared,” Shopkeeper Sun shook his head and replied.

  ”I want to ask you something. Did a young man stay here a month ago?” Xu Zimo said.

  ”You are the only inn in this city. If he came to Huangquan City, he would definitely stay here.”

  ”Yes, you are here to find him, right?” Shopkeeper Sun smiled and said.

  ”Don’t ask me. He stayed here for one night and disappeared the next day. I don’t know anything.”

  ”Really?” Xu Zimo pondered for a moment and smiled, “You are very calm.”

  ”I’ve seen it so many times, so I’m used to it,” Shopkeeper Sun shook his head and said.

  ”Since the curse appeared, no one who came here has left alive.”
  

  ”Then how much do you know about curses?” Xu Zimo frowned and asked.

  ”The natives in the city will die if they leave the city, and strangers outside the city will also die if they enter the city, that’s it,” Shopkeeper Sun replied with a smile.

  ”You should be careful too, it’s been a long time since I saw a returning customer in my inn.”

  Looking at the shopkeeper’s back as he left, Xu Zimo smiled with interest.

  ”Interesting.”

  …………

  The sun sets, and the yellow sky gradually darkens.

  As darkness shrouds the Yellow Springs Inn, it becomes lively.

  Many residents around come here to eat.

  Compared to the quiet and weird city outside, the atmosphere inside the inn seems very hot.

  ”Old Sun, I heard that there are new people in your inn today, you have to treat them well.”

  A man in a black gown at the table next to him laughed.

  There was also a drunk man who staggered when he walked and came to the table of Xu Zimo and his friend with a wine jar in his arms.

  He smiled at the two and said, “Interview you two.

  What’s your mentality in coming to our Huangquan City?

  Are you tired of living or are you just curious?”

  ”Look at my mouth shape,” Xu Zimo smiled and said, “cnm!”

  ”What do you mean?” The big man’s face changed instantly and he said sternly.

  Xu Zimo grabbed the wine jar on the table and threw it at the big man’s head.

  With a “bang”,

  the wine jar broke and all the wine spilled out.

  Minghe on the side was stunned, and it seemed that he had not yet reacted to Xu Zimo’s performance.

  ”What are you going to do?” The shopkeeper Sun next to him asked with some confusion.

  ”Are you still pretending?” Xu Zimo smiled.

  ”Undead scum.”

  Hearing Xu Zimo’s words, everyone in the inn was stunned.

  ”So you found it.”

  Everyone in the inn had a weird smile on their faces.

  The skin on their bodies was torn, and monsters came out one by one.

  These monsters were short and had gray-brown skin.

  Their palms were twice the size of normal humans, and their nails were sharp and slender.

  Among these monsters, there were thin and small ones, and there were also very fat ones.

  At this moment, even the innkeeper Sun slowly shed his skin.

  Minghe looked at the outside of the inn. A large group of monsters surrounded the entire inn.

  All the residents of the entire Huangquan City have turned into monsters.

  ”How did you find out? I didn’t notice it,” Minghe looked at Xu Zimo in surprise.

  You have to know that he has a divine vein realm, and he didn’t find anything unusual before.

  Xu Zimo smiled and said, “Let’s deal with these guys in front of us first.”

  As for how he found these people, it was naturally told by Hun Dun.

  The demons and the undead are the two major races in the wild era.

  For Hun Dun, who has really seen the undead, he can instantly see the breath of the undead on the other party.

  And Hun Dun also told him that the undead in this city are just puppets, and the real murderer behind the scenes is actually hiding in the dark.

  　Tomorrow’s five updates will make up for

  　　what I owe. In fact, I wanted to get away with the update the day before yesterday.

  　　But you guys are so clever.
