Chapter 400: Chapter 390: The Submerged City Chen Feng’s brows furrowed slightly, in fact, because everything before him was too shocking.
A city submerged by seawater, very likely, the place where the bottom-dwelling demon fish had just swum past was the most prosperous area of this city, but now, before nature, everything was futile.
This inevitably brought a sigh to Chen Feng.
In the face of absolute power, mere human effort is insignificant. Much like this city, from the few remaining relics, Chen Feng couldn’t discern where this was anymore. A huge city, surrounded by submerged water, with only some narrow lands exposed outside.
The surrounding silence was terrifying, with some broken shops just sitting lonely on mounds of earth, with no service staff visible inside.
After the shock, there was a deathly silence.
It was too quiet around.
Indeed!
Earlier, from the back of the bottom-dwelling demon fish, the area of this island was not small; even if 90% of a city was submerged, the remaining 10% was still a considerable number. In such a large environment, there are always some who survived.
But...
The strangeness lies here.
Not to mention humans, there wasn’t even a trace of birds or animals around, quiet, absolutely quiet, which made one feel a bit uneasy at heart.
Chen Feng stepped on the land, making crisp sounds. In the original life, these footsteps were nothing, but what was this place? Surrounded by signs of the apocalypse, no humans, no insects, no birds or beasts, apart from the sound of the wind, it was like an absolutely silent environment, making one’s mood inexplicably irritable.
Even if submerged by seawater, out of the desire for life, living species would move towards safer places.
Chen Feng picked up some soil with his hand and sniffed it; there was no smell of seawater here. Obviously, this wasn’t a place submerged by seawater then uncovered by receding tides.
This place had never been invaded by seawater in the first place.
So, what happened here?
And what created all this, Chen Feng frowned, and couldn’t help but walk deeper.
Chen Feng hadn’t experienced this feeling for a long time; in fact, after being reborn, relying on the memories in his mind, he could often take the lead, avoiding danger, or smothering it in the cradle before it even happened.
But now, what was before him made Chen Feng feel somewhat uneasy. He hadn’t experienced any of this, and the advantage of memory was utterly useless on this unfamiliar land.
Chen Feng couldn’t just leave so easily; this place wasn’t far from Order. If the mystery isn’t solved now, who knows if these strange phenomena would affect the development of Order.
As a lone wanderer, Chen Feng wouldn’t involve himself in anything here because it signaled danger.
But as a leader, Chen Feng couldn’t stand by and do nothing. This wasn’t about protection but because he wouldn’t allow anything to affect the development of his power.
The Dark Elf followed behind. Although she felt somewhat complicated due to the warning, once entering combat mode, she immediately adjusted her attitude and spirit.
Away from personal life, it was undeniable that the Dark Elf was an outstanding warrior.
Chen Feng needed to put some pressure on her.
Compared to the Inferior Demon, Undead Mage, and Flora, the Dark Elf’s strength was already at the bottom, and he did not want to see her strength stop here because Chen Feng couldn’t be certain when he might not be able to resist ending her life himself.
Chen Feng never forgot his primary ability.
Compared to the Flame Demon bloodline, summoning was his true strength. If the Dark Elf could not advance, then her fate would be to vacate her position, to let new summoned beasts join in.
This might seem a bit heartless.
But that’s life.
Why are you weak?
Instead of dying on the battlefield at the hands of a powerful enemy, it’s better to end her life yourself.
Chen Feng didn’t need dependency. What he needed was summoned beasts that could help him.
In the icy snow, lambs crying for food are only slaughtered to nourish the fate of their masters with their bodies and flesh and blood. Only wolves, a true wild wolf able to roam the snow, can be called a hunter’s partner.
The Dark Elf was quite good, but there was still a long way to go to perfection.
Chen Feng would occasionally stop to wait for her some time, but one day he would get tired of this, and when that time comes, it would be the end of everything.
...............
The bottom-dwelling demon fish and the naga remained on the coast, while Chen Feng and the Dark Elf, like two agile squirrels, continuously shuttled through uninhabited regions.
After traveling for nearly ten minutes, there was still no sign of life around.
The Dark Elf sniffed with her nose, and she seemed to have discovered something, her eyes suddenly becoming much brighter, as she pointed with her hand towards a tall building in the distance.
It was a church.
In this land, faith is free.
In times of peace, unless it is some desperately vilified heretics, some churches walking in the light, the nation’s power will not pursue them.
The Dark Elf is an expert tracker, her skills even slightly surpass those of Flora. At this moment, Chen Feng eagerly wanted to know the answer, and with a tap of his toes, he rushed forward into the distance.
The two moved quickly, and before long they had crossed a mountain peak and saw the church.
But at this moment, Chen Feng’s hairs stood on end, his pupils even dilating slightly.
A thick aura filled with bloodshed, darkness, and tragic disaster came rushing towards him, and at this moment, Chen Feng witnessed a scene he would never forget.
He saw...
Originally tranquil surroundings of the church were now littered with countless corpses, their numbers so vast it made one’s scalp tingle. Among them were Dimensional Creatures, skin as ink-green and eyes occupying half their head, mutant beasts shaped like giant pythons with four wings and hook-like tails, and gargantuan insects swelled to unimaginable sizes. Yet among these species, the majority were humans.
