Chapter 338 The Capital of Valyria
The far-flung Great Wall.
The second war between humans and the White Walkers has finally come to an end.
Perhaps because of the victory in the first battle, he personally killed a White Walker, which caused King Robert Baratheon to swell a little.
He arrogantly wanted to stop the Night King's footsteps on the Great Wall and completely defeat the army of the dead.
However, it turned out to be a big defeat.
The coalition forces fled to Winterfell in a dreadful rout, and the cold wind of death blew across the Great Wall and shrouded the land in the north.
In winter, it seems to get colder.
And in faraway Valyria, temperatures are dropping sharply after a heavy rain.
"Whoo~"
"Whoo~"
The red-haired girl hid in a dark cellar, her full chest heaving gently, panting heavily.
The quiet Li Jianzhong could only hear the girl's breathing clearly.
"damn it--"
She gritted her teeth lightly, blood all over her body, and she didn't know if it was her own or someone else's.
Since entering the ruins of the capital of Valyria, the series of terrifying things she has encountered has almost caused her mental breakdown.
A lot of things have happened in the past few days, causing the situation to take a sharp turn, and the expedition team has been completely torn apart.
The commander of the expedition, Wilder Megya, the nephew of the Volantis Tiger Party consul's nephew, was attacked and killed by a shadow falling from the sky after entering the capital.
The opponent's speed was extremely fast, even faster than the speed of the werewolf they encountered before, jumping directly from the ruined city wall and taking the opponent away.
While waiting for Wilder's cronies to chase after him, only the half-carved body of Commander Wilder was left on the ground.
The commander is dead.
The expedition team, which had few people left, suddenly faced a collapse.
Because this is far from the beginning of a nightmare.
The ignorant and fearless people tried to explore the secrets of the gods for the sake of profit, and finally encountered terrible punishment.
It is only now that people understand why so few of the people who explored the ruins of Valyria in the past have survived.
Plagues, curses, monster attacks...
Dangers opened like raindrops, and only a few were able to dodge them one by one.
When they crossed the sea of smoke, all the people who were recruited were still completely unknown, and they didn't know what they had done.
A few days after arriving at the ruins of Valyria, all these people began to suffer from disease outbreaks one after another.
At the beginning, the commander thought it was a plague, the drizzle, or that there was a problem with the water source and fruit on the island.
However, when he killed all the people suspected of being plagued and burned their bodies, the nightmare continued.
During the march of the team, people kept falling down, and then they never got up again. The corpse showed a marble-like pattern, and the seven orifices were bleeding.
At the beginning, a group of survivors such as Viserys, Mia, and 'Tekken' Gus did not realize the reason.
But it wasn't until more and more people died that they came to their senses. It turned out that those who had absorbed the gray fog started to fall ill.
However, facing such a serious situation, the commander of the expedition Wilder still refused to give up.
He recklessly ordered the team to move on.
His uncle entrusted him with such an important task, and paid such a great price that he was about to reach the capital of Valyria, and Wilder was unwilling to give up at this time anyway.
Afterwards, only a few hundred people remained in the rushing red river outside the capital of Valyria.
Viserys didn't know what color the river had originally been, but now it was bright as blood and had an unbearable stench.
There used to be a magnificent bridge here, but now only two piers are left due to the doomsday catastrophe.
Of course, the expedition did not have the ability to build bridges, but began to cut down trees to build some small boats, and transported people one by one with the ropes they carried.
However, the expedition team on the river was attacked by some underwater monsters again, and finally passed the river after paying a very heavy price.
In fact, after so many hardships, many people in the team have retreated.
But in the current situation, even if they were afraid of them, they would not dare to escape from the team. Otherwise, in Valyria, where monsters are everywhere, I am afraid that leaving the team will directly enter the monster's belly.
Then the sparse expedition finally entered the ruins of the Valyrian capital.
This once magnificent royal capital is now only left with ruins and broken walls, but it is all wild grass. The city gate has long since disappeared, and only half of the city wall that has not collapsed remains.
And it was at this time.
The team had just carefully entered the ruins, and a black shadow jumped down from the half of the city wall, swept away the last commander, and devoured half of his corpse.
After the death of the commander, the team officially broke out in infighting. Some people wanted to leave, while some people thought that since they had gone through hardships to the depths of the Valyrian ruins, how could they return empty-handed?
The two sides then clashed.
And Viserys was naturally on the latter's side.
He hadn't figured out the secret of Black Mist yet, how could he leave so easily.
Mia also had reasons to continue exploring. Gus, who used to be on the same ship, and several mercenaries hesitated and stood firm on Viserys' side.
Because they seem to have noticed it, following this silver-haired young man seems to be able to avoid a lot of danger.
However, before these people quarreled, another monster attacked the expedition team. This time, people began to run away without a unified command.
At first, Viserys and the others were still hugging each other, but in the end, after an attack, the mercenaries died, and Mia lost contact with Viserys.
She killed a monster by herself and suffered serious injuries, and then hid in a cellar under the waste at the outermost part of the city.
"I'm afraid I can't escape."
in the dark.
Mia leaned against the wall of the cellar by herself, thinking silently in her heart, and at the same time wrapped the wound on her body with the torn cloth from her body.
"hiss--"
"Hold!"
The pain struck when her fingers touched the wound, and the red-haired girl gritted her teeth slightly and let out a foul language.
However, she didn't realize that in the darkness, there were also a pair of eyes staring at her.
Its breathing gradually became heavy, and the saliva dripped down.
However, the red-haired girl was unaware of this, still clenching her teeth, trying to bandage the wound.
