Chapter 185 Mysterious Mirror

Zhang Shi pondered for a moment and felt that the goal of this mission was too broad. Historical records said that the city lord obtained Lao Duan in a copy, but there was no record of the specific location. If you want to specifically complete this mission, the difficulty is no different than finding a needle in a haystack. .

Ge Dalong continued to flip through the history books, which recorded some major events in the City of Fog, but there were no records related to Lao Duan.

Ge Dalong continued to read backwards, but privately and quietly shared a paragraph of text with Zhang Shi. After translation, the content is as follows:

"The city lord got a mirror and summoned all the senior officials to the council hall for a meeting that night. The content was unknown. The next day, soldiers brought three corpses out of the council hall. All the senior officials involved kept silent about what happened that night. "

Zhang Shi looked at Ge Dalong. He was still reading the history books carefully and attentively, and did not show any abnormality, but his actions showed that he also noticed the strangeness of Zhang Shi just now.

Zhang Shi sighed lightly, not sure what was so magical about that mirror and why he was the only one who could see the abnormality.

Undecided, Zhang Shi silently opened the system panel and chatted privately with Ge Dalong.

"Did you see it too?"

Ge Dalong quickly replied.

"What did you see? I just saw that you were acting a little abnormal, so I sent you the record about that mirror. What, is there something wrong?"

Zhang Shi hesitated for a moment, but decided to believe Ge Dalong, and told Wu Qing about it.

"The Wu Qing in that mirror looks like a fierce ghost."

It took Ge Dalong a moment to reply, and even the speed of flipping through the history books in his hands was a bit slow.

"How about asking that mother-in-law what she should know."

Zhang Shi thought about it, but still couldn't completely trust the old woman, and finally decided to solve Wu Qing's problem by himself.

Not finding any other valuable information in the history books, Ge Dalong put down the heavy book and handed it to the black shadow.

Seeing that Lao Duan's clues were broken, Zhang Shi decided to complete the stage tasks first and unlock the teleportation point before proceeding with subsequent exploration.

"Mother-in-law, there are no clear clues here. We decided to explore on our own and clean up the monsters in the city."

After Heiying put the history books back on the bookshelf, he visibly froze when he heard Zhang Shi's words, and asked Zhang Shi in a hoarse voice.

"You are trying to unlock the teleportation point in Mist City."

Zhang Shi saw that the other party knew about the system mission, so he did not hide it. He nodded in agreement. The black shadow pondered for a while, and then slowly spoke.

"As the guardian of the City of Mist, logically speaking, I should stop you, but now this place has become a dead city, and our lineage will be cut off. You can do whatever you want."

The black shadow paused for a moment, and then reminded him.

"It's just that you have to pay attention. The number of monsters in this city far exceeds your imagination, and their strength is more than one level stronger than ours. If you want to challenge them, just try to hunt in the periphery, and never approach the city lord's mansion. Also try to be careful not to make too much noise, so as not to alarm the earth beasts.”

Zhang Shi nodded, feeling that the old woman's reminder was reasonable. A monster that can destroy a city-state must be powerful, and those invisible beings seem to be particularly sensitive to sounds. If not handled properly, they may attract strange tides, which will be self-defeating and they may not be able to escape.

Then, the black shadow pointed out a general direction for Zhang Shi and others, then quickly left the hall and returned towards the church.

"If you encounter a situation that you can't handle, you can go back to the church and take shelter."

Zhang Shi stared at the black shadow leaving. There were too many doubts about this old woman. When getting along with her, he did not dare to completely trust her.

Everyone packed up their equipment, ate something briefly and left the hall, heading towards the entrance to the City of Fog. Before leaving, Zhang Shi glanced at the mirror again. Everyone's figures were still clearly displayed in the mirror. Wu Qing's ferocious face like a ghost was leaning behind him, and a pair of black eyes without pupils were quiet. Staring at himself quietly.

Zhang Shi's heart trembled, but he remained calm on the surface and did not let this strange feeling affect the team's progress.

He tried to put the mirror away, but found that the mirror seemed to be integrated with the building and not a single prop. Zhang Shi could only give up the idea of ​​plucking the goose's hair.

Following the old woman's guidance, everyone walked from the eaves, through the twists and turns of the streets, and gradually approached the edge of the City of Fog. Along the way, they carefully avoided corners where monsters might be hidden, and tried not to make any noise, so as not to disturb those unknown beings, alert the snakes, and affect the original plan.

As they moved to the edge of the Fog City, the dilapidated scene of the city became more and more serious. Buildings collapsed, the streets were covered with gravel and weeds, and a smell of decay and death filled the air. Zhang Shi noticed that the number of monsters here had increased significantly. They were either lurking in the shadows or wandering among the ruins. Their occasional roars were frightening, and the streets and buildings were no longer seamless. It seems to be back to normal.

"This is good news. At least it shows that this is not the activity range of the mysterious earth beast."

Everyone looked at each other and prepared to set the hunting location nearby. Several people moved carefully, using their own skills and equipment to quietly eliminate some lone monsters.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. The invisible beings had strong perception abilities and soon noticed the presence of Zhang Shi and others, and began to gather in their direction on a large scale. Not long after, a group of Orc monsters hiding in the shadows suddenly became agitated, and blood marks began to appear on their bodies until their entire torsos split open. Those Orcs were shocked and frightened, and scattered around, but those invisible beings would not let them go easily. It was as if sharp steel blades appeared in the void, and those Orcs who fled in a hurry were cut into pieces without paying attention. For a while, the whole street was filled with blood, flesh and filth.

Faced with more and more invisible beings gathering, Zhang Shi quickly communicated with his teammates and decided to change his strategy. He no longer fought alone, but concentrated his firepower, took advantage of the terrain, set traps, and lured the monsters into the encirclement.

They found an abandoned warehouse with its door half-closed, filled with debris and collapsed shelves. Zhang Shi and his team quickly took action. Some of them were responsible for setting traps on the periphery, using ropes, stones and arrows to create an area that could trap and weaken the monsters; the other part hid inside the warehouse, preparing to launch a surprise attack after the monsters were lured in.

Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng were responsible for attracting the attention of the monsters on the periphery. They deliberately made some noises and constantly provoked the monsters to guide them towards the warehouse.

The invisible beings really took the bait. They were attracted by the provocation of Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng and began to rush towards the warehouse frantically. For a while, the whole street was filled with dense footsteps.

Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng retreated while constantly launching attacks on the monsters to maintain their anger and desire to pursue.

When the monsters completely entered the warehouse area, Zhang Shi and Zhao Feng quickly retreated to a safe position and sent a signal to their teammates. Ge Dalong, Chen Beipan and Wu Qing, who were hiding inside the warehouse, immediately took action. They used the sundries and shelves in the warehouse as cover and used various long-range attack methods to launch a fierce attack on the monsters.

The traps also began to work. Some monsters were tripped by the ropes, fell to the ground, and were trampled by their companions. The blood made their shapes revealed; others were hit by the skills of the crowd and were blown into a bloody mess. Clear bloody footprints appeared on the street.
