Chapter 139: Chapter 97 Land of Trial_3

The speed at which the Copper Lamp floated wasn’t fast, and Li Xiu could barely keep up.

As he walked, outside the one-meter range illuminated by the lamp, everything was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

Suddenly, Li Xiu’s eyes brightened, and he found himself standing in an ancient city without knowing when it happened.

The Copper Lamp hovered by Li Xiu’s side, wherever he moved, it followed him without its flame flickering.

Li Xiu tried to summon the magic spirit, and the Jedi Knight immediately appeared before him.

"Indeed, you can use magic spirits in the Land of Trial," Li Xiu hesitated not at all, summoning all his magic spirits to gather around him before he started observing the ancient city.

The city’s architectural style was peculiar, with all buildings constructed from black stones, even the road surface was the same.

The stone walls and ground were not very level, appearing as though the craftsmanship was very primitive, as if barely polished, just stacking raw stones together.

The wall and road surfaces were uneven, and instead of electric lamps lining the sides, there were stone stoves at intervals, burning charcoal inside.

These buildings didn’t look like ordinary houses but more akin to a religious style, giving off a mysterious, eerie, terrifying feeling.

The buildings Li Xiu could see all had their doors tightly shut.

He was standing at the intersection of two large streets, looking around and seeing not a single silhouette as if in a lifeless city.

The sky was frighteningly dark, without any starlight, nor a moon, only the glow from the street charcoal fires and the occasional crackling sound of wood splitting.

At one corner of the crossroads was a small square where a black stone monument stood, carved with three twisted large characters "Black Death City".

Clang... clang...

From deep within the dark long street came a bizarre sound, as if chains were dragging on the ground.

Li Xiu narrowed his eyes, originally in such dark surroundings, he shouldn’t be able to see far, yet perhaps due to the Dark Mirror, he could see very far.

At the end of the street, a creature with shackles on both its hands and feet was walking toward him step by step.

It was evidently not human, for a pair of black horns adorned its head, resembling the legendary Demon Horns.

Its entire body was encased in black armor like cast iron, with black smoke and gleaming black light occasionally escaping from the gaps.

Li Xiu knew it was a magic spirit, but he had never seen this kind of magic spirit before.

The magic spirit dragged its shackles, coming step by step, undoubtedly heading straight for Li Xiu.

Li Xiu flipped onto the Pink Nightmare, simultaneously commanding the Knight of Chrysanthemum to charge at the magic spirit.

The Knight of Chrysanthemum, with a gun in one hand and a shield in the other, mounted a heavy-armored cavalry that charged fearlessly at the magic spirit.

Fully armored, the Knight of Chrysanthemum’s charge was terrifying, yet the magic spirit seemed oblivious, continuing to walk forward step by step.

Just as the Knight of Chrysanthemum was about to rush in front of the magic spirit, the warhorse suddenly neighed, buckled its front legs, and collapsed to the ground, causing the Knight to tumble down.

The man and horse struggled a few times but then lay still on the ground, unmoving despite Li Xiu’s relentless attempts to summon them.

Li Xiu was shocked to discover that both the Knight of Chrysanthemum and the warhorse began exuding black smoke, resembling the black smoke produced by burning corpses.

The magic spirit walked past the Knight of Chrysanthemum without sparing it a glance, continuing toward Li Xiu.

Clang... clang...

The chain dragging on the uneven ground created a sound that resonated like a death knell in Li Xiu’s ears.

Li Xiu was retreating because he saw the fallen Knight of Chrysanthemum and the warhorse had most of their bodies transformed into black, the blackness spreading on his body, already turning some parts into blackened ash, scattered away by gusts of wind.

The magic spirit picked up speed, narrowing the distance between itself and Li Xiu.

Li Xiu, riding the Pink Nightmare, retreated while observing the magic spirit, still clueless about how the Knight of Chrysanthemum met its end.

Thus he could only recall all magic spirits except the Pink Nightmare to prevent further pointless sacrifices.

Magic spirits are scarce, requiring countless gemstones to yield one, not to be used carelessly as cannon fodder.

Riding the Pink Nightmare, Li Xiu distanced himself as the magic spirit continued to follow, accelerating, yet far slower than the Pink Nightmare, unable to close the distance quickly.

"Luckily I have the Pink Nightmare, otherwise I would have been overtaken ages ago," Li Xiu thought with relief, yet he knew running aimlessly wasn’t a solution.

He had reached the end of the long street, only to find no city gates, the street ending at a ten-meter-high stone wall.

More bizarre was that for such a long street, there was no fork in the road, seemingly just two intersecting cross-streets.

Though the magic spirit moved slowly, Li Xiu had reached a dead end with nowhere left to retreat.

Clang... clang...

The magic spirit just shaken off caught up swiftly, leaving Li Xiu with no place to escape.

Knowing he mustn’t let the magic spirit approach, Li Xiu summoned the Demigod Shana again.

The Demigod Shana’s body emanated a dazzling blue light, flickering like a blue ghostly figure.

"Take him down," Li Xiu ordered the Demigod Shana.

Demigod Shana immediately raised its arm, aiming the Blue Diamond Pistol at the magic spirit, firing a blue Light Bullet through the darkness, hitting the magic spirit’s head.

With a bang, the magic spirit’s helmet was pierced by the Light Bullet, and black smoke instantly billowed from the bullet hole.

The magic spirit’s body staggered backward and fell heavily to the ground, blue light rampaging within its body while black smoke gushed out continuously.
