Unstoppable Crushing: Starting from Adding Points in Dreams-Chapter 272 - 166: Holy City, Return_2

"What about the Holy City?"

On the road, when taking a momentary rest.

Refugees gathered in groups, and upon hearing these ancient tales, they became immensely curious and quickly inquired: "It is said that the Holy City was born hundreds of years ago, is that true or false?"

"The Holy City was indeed born hundreds of years ago, but there are several rumors about it..."

The man named Wu Heng, who acted as a minor leader among the refugees, hesitated for a moment before speaking deeply, "Firstly, the most widely known is that the Holy City found treasures left by the Ancient Tado Civilization, which enabled it to be established, sheltering us low-class beings."

"The second is that the Holy City was created by the ninth person who followed the Snake God, extremely powerful, but in the end, he left the Snake God, established the Holy City, and was buried here."

In the midst of these discussions, the expressions of the people varied.

Chen Feng, who sat alone to one side, seemed indifferent, but was in fact quietly using his Perception to eavesdrop.

"The third rumor is that the Holy City was not created by anyone from our world."

"There came an outsider, who could not tolerate the brutality of the Snake-men, raised a banner in opposition, and thus the Holy City came into being."

Words were said without intent, but listeners took keen interest.

Chen Feng did not expect these people to also know of the existence of outsiders.

"Wu Heng doesn’t know where he heard these rumors, which have made you laugh, milord."

Molly had been by Chen Feng’s side throughout, her face embarrassed, not daring to be negligent.

With an expressionless face, Chen Feng simply shook his head lightly.

These rumors could not be verified, but the mention of the outsider gave him some thoughts.

If the Snake Spirit Secret Realm could indeed be opened with a key, then certainly others could enter this world as well.

The Divine Martial Alliance, the Snake Spirit Sect, and even...

"Extreme Martial Arts..."

Chen Feng thought of the residual memories he had seen in Qinggang City.

Black Water Town was accidentally pulled into the Abyss, and the Secret Realm that corresponded to it was the Snake Spirit World.

And those who came to the rescue at that time included practitioners of Extreme Martial Arts and members of the Law Enforcement Team.

If they also came to this world, maybe, they left some traces as well.

As thoughts dispersed, Chen Feng’s curiosity about the mysteries of this world grew.

The group rest ended, and they set off on the road again.

Slowly, another day passed by, and they finally made their way across the Green Field Swamp.

The crowd’s clothing was ragged and stained with a few dry leaves.

But looking up in the distance, they could see a vast plain appearing before their eyes.

A wide and flat dirt road led straight into the distance, with golden rice paddies thriving expansively.

Looking further, a white-grey city located at the end of the ground line, built against a mountain, stood like a giant, occupying a vast expanse.

A huge waterfall flowed turbulently down from the city walls, with silver rivers surrounding below, separating the city from the plain.

The drawbridge outside the white-grey city walls was drawn up, with buildings densely packed inside.

Bastions, streets, soldiers... the white-grey stone blocks were layered upon each other, and the central hill was completely transformed, only its peak was green with vegetation.

From a distance, one could see across the tall city walls into the dense white-grey houses and streets built around the hills in the city center.

Even, some giant Flying Eagles could be seen, seemingly carrying people, circling the sky.

In just an instant, the continuously fleeing crowd all showed excited expressions, with a look of longing.

"We’ve arrived, we finally arrived!"

"That must be the Holy City! It’s said that there are many human powerhouses in the Holy City, capable of commanding giant Flying Eagles, it’s really true!"

"Rumors say that the walls of the Holy City are engraved with some kind of inscriptions, unbreakable, even the Snake-men cannot smash them..."

"We’re safe, we’re finally safe!"

Excited voices rang out, and even the relatively calm curly-haired woman Molly was breathing rapidly, slightly trembling.

Chen Feng did not pay attention to this, as he was also slightly surprised.

This was a city with architectural styles completely different from Earth Star, full of fantasy elements.

It was like a place from another world, reminiscent of the secluded castles where Elves dwelled in legends.

Shriek!

Suddenly, perhaps they were discovered.

One could see that in the city sky miles away, the Flying Eagles cried out.

And then, two giant Flying Eagles approached, flapping their wings.

"Don’t be afraid everyone, those are the Holy City’s Guard Team."

"Just explain truthfully in a moment, and they will lead us into the city."

Molly seemed to have some experience, and the unrest among the people was quelled as they waited nervously in their places.

Soon after, there was the sound of the wind, and the Flying Eagles approached, gradually lowering their altitude.

Looking up, one could see that each Flying Eagle was about five to six meters in size, each one with brown feathers, dark golden beaks, and sharp talons.

Moreover, there were some strong men wearing silver armor and helmets on them, ages ranging from twenty to thirty-five, wielding long spears and bows, their expressions vigilant.

"Who are you?"

A strapping man in his thirties asked, his frame burly and close to one meter ninety, obviously the leader of this group.

He paid no attention to others, including Chen Feng.

His gaze had been fixated on Molly from the start, wary and on alert.

In an instant, Chen Feng’s Perception quivered, detecting a trace of something.

The aura of this Holy City Guard Team, although varying between Second Order and Third Rank, was very similar to the Strength on Molly, clearly from the same power system.

"This Sir, we have fled here from the lands of the Snake-man Tribe."

"We aspire to the glory of the Holy City and hope to live within."

Molly indeed spoke the truth, her tone sincere, even taking out a pouch with snake-shaped coins to offer as a gesture of goodwill.

However, the stout man clad in silver armor waved his hand to stop her, frowning.

At the same time, his gaze swept over the rest, his expression indifferent, shaking his head.

"The resources of the Holy City are scarce, we have no room for the useless."

"Only you have awakened a Life Seed; I can take only you into the city."

As his words fell, everyone’s faces changed dramatically.

Chen Feng’s eyes flickered, suddenly realizing that the so-called Holy City might not be as wonderful as he had imagined.

"Sir!"

Molly’s face tensed up, urgently speaking out, "They can work and contribute once within the Holy City, they won’t be a burden!"

The others also raised their voices in panicked agreement.

But soon, the fierce wind blew, and the Flying Eagles rose high.

It was evident that the stout man in armor spoke with an indifferent tone, calmly overlooking everyone with his guards.

"People like you, they come every year, every month."

"The territory of the Holy City is limited, and day by day, it’s hard to support."

He stood high in mid-air, disregarding everyone, finally looking at Molly and saying, "If you really want to bring them all into the city, then settle outside the city, and wait for a quota."

His cold words fell, and two giant Flying Eagles flapped their wings, carrying the Guard Team away.

For a moment, watching the increasingly distant figures, the faces of the people who had fled for thousands of miles all turned pale with despair and confusion.

Wasn’t it said that the Holy City treated everyone equally, that they would be well-received?

Why... were they so coldly rejected at the door?

"Lady Molly...."

The man named Wu Heng with the long spear had a complex expression, mixed with guilt and confusion.

He was well aware of the specialness of those who awakened a Life Seed, and Molly, who had brought them here, could have directly entered the Holy City, but now she had lost the opportunity because of their burden.

On this, there was no answer.

Instead, Molly turned to look at Chen Feng with a complex expression.

"Your Excellency...."

She had thought he would reveal his Strength and attract the attention of the Holy City.

But now, it seems that the expert might have other thoughts, or perhaps, he didn’t want to get too involved in their affairs.

"What is a quota?" ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Chen Feng didn’t care about her thoughts, but instead suddenly asked back.

His tone was somewhat stiff and awkward, quite forced.

This was him forcibly remembering and imitating the sounds, not quite standard yet.

"That represents a quota to enter the Holy City."

All hopes dissipated, Molly confirmed that Chen Feng was not from the Southern Territory.

"I always thought it was just a rumor, but I didn’t expect it to be true."

"There is a rumor that the Holy City has a fixed limited capacity for humans; ordinary people who want to enter can only do so when someone in the city dies, leaving a surplus quota..."

Her voice bitter, Molly’s face seemed somewhat downcast.

Chen Feng seemed contemplative, his gaze subtly shifting, looking towards the rivers separating them from the Holy City.

There lay a sprawl of brown buildings scattered about, mostly constructed around the base of Holy City Mountain, with faint signs of human activity.

"It’s alright, Lady Molly, it’s already great that we could get near the Holy City."

After a brief disturbance among the refugees, the man named Wu Heng rallied his spirits, quickly approaching to offer a strained smile, "And there are dwellings there too, right? We’ll just live there and survive until the day we can enter the city..."

They still held onto hope and dreams, and with a sigh, Molly had no choice but to go along.

The group quickly discussed and decided to head towards the base of Holy City Mountain.

But soon, a person opened their mouth with a puzzled voice.

"What about that gentleman?"

At this, Molly turned her head in surprise.

A breeze blew, kicking up some dust.

The imposing figure wrapped in a brown cloak had disappeared, leaving only the pouch with the snake-shaped coins behind.
