Chapter 954 Strange City

Once they entered the city, they felt that there was something strange in the air.

Lin Fan looked at Momonga, but he shook his head to show that he didn't know what this was either.

All four of them quickly raised their guard just in case anything happened, but as they slowly made their way forward, there was nothing that appeared.

Eventually, they were able to reach one of the buildings in front of them that was near the edge of this city.

Lin Fan was about to take the lead to open the door, but to his surprise, Momonga stopped him. Before he could open the door, Momonga reached his hand out and pushed Lin Fan back before moving in front of the door.

Then he gathered a bit of dark energy in his hand before pointing that hand at the door.

As he pointed his hand at the door, the wisps of dark energy came out of his hand and entered through the cracks of the door.

Other than that, there was nothing else that happened.

After a few minutes, Momonga finally said, "It's clear." Then he pushed the door open and went in.

Seeing this, Lin Fan and the two girls followed him in.

The inside of the house wasn't that impressive either.

Most of the furniture had already turned into dust over time, so there wasn't much in this house.

There were just a few pieces of rubble that were scattered around and what seemed to be a bookshelf in the corner.

It was actually quite amazing that the bookshelf had lasted this long.

When Momonga went over, he was surprised by what he found.

Lin Fan also came over to see that he had found a bunch of jade slips.

These jade slips seemed to have something written on them, but it was in a language that Lin Fan couldn't recognize at all.

So he could only wait as Momonga read through them.

After what seemed to be a long time, Momonga finally said, "This place used to be a human kingdom, but it seemed like it was destroyed because of some reason. The jade slips for the latter volumes of this history book seem to be missing from this place."

After saying this, Momonga started looking around the room trying to find more jade slips, but this place was completely empty.

The only other thing here was a set of stairs that led up to the second floor, so without hesitation, he headed in that direction.

Lin Fan followed him, but he couldn't help asking, "Human kingdom? What human kingdom?"

Momonga shook his head and said, "It doesn't say what human kingdom, it just called itself the kingdom in the books. Most of what was written was just some trivial history about this kingdom."

Lin Fan knitted his brows, but he didn't keep asking questions since he knew that there was no use asking them.

Instead, he turned to look at the stairs heading up with Momonga.

Perhaps there would be more information upstairs.

It was just too bad that they were disappointed by what they found.

There was almost nothing upstairs.

The only thing that they were able to find was a bed that seemed to be made of jade as well, but there was nothing special about it. The only thing that was strange about this bed was that there was a cool feeling that came from it.

It was clear that this bed was made from some kind of special material, but no matter how they tried moving it, it just wouldn't budge.

Since there was nothing else here, they decided to spread out and start searching around the city.

There were too many buildings for them to search one by one and they shouldn't waste too much time in this place since there was a time limit to their mission. However, Lin Fan also didn't want to give up this chance to find information about this place.

Information would be important since it would make his mission easier, so he decided to use a bit of the time that they had to search for some.

Spreading out did make it much easier for them to search, but even then they weren't able to find much.

There were a few jade slips scattered around the buildings here and there, but there was never any substantial information in these jade slips.

Eventually, Lin Fan called out Brainy and had her puppets search the buildings instead of going one by one. This brought a large amount of jade slips over, so Momonga, as the only person who could read them, sat down and read them all.

By the end, he had no more information than he had in the beginning.

There just wasn't any useful information in the jade slips that he read. The only thing that was written in these jade slips was the trivial history of this kingdom and the people that lived here.

Perhaps if he could cross reference with his own collection, he might be able to find out which civilization this was, but it was impossible with the information that he had on hand.

He might have been the immortal Lich King, but there was only so much that he could remember.

The only other thing of note was that there was the same ice cold jade bed in each and every one of the houses.

Every single one of them was like the first one that they found, they couldn't move them no matter how they tried. It was almost as if they were just bolted in place.

Since they weren't able to do anything to these jade beds, they just left them there in the end.

Well, it wasn't that they weren't able to do anything…It was that Lin Fan stopped them from doing anything to the jade beds.

He didn't know what would happen if they broke the jade beds, or what kind of monster Angela and Yuki using their powers would attract.

He still had a mission, so he didn't want to bother with these things.

The only thing left for them to do in this city was check the large buildings that were scattered throughout the city.

So far, they had only checked the small buildings that were like the first building that they had checked. These were the buildings that had been scattered throughout the city and seemed to be residences.

However, there were also large buildings that were scattered around the city.

These buildings were clearly public facilities or important locations to this city, so they would most likely have more information than these small buildings.

But neither Momonga or Lin Fan were willing to risk checking these buildings out.

After all, these were most likely important places, but they would also hold danger in them.

So without a need, they didn't want to take this unnecessary risk.

But as they found that there was no information for them at all in these small buildings, they couldn't help becoming more and more curious about these larger buildings.

The two of them were certain that there would be important information in these places, but the danger that they held…

Eventually, their curiosity got the better of them and they couldn't help picking out one of these buildings to check out.

The building that they chose was much smaller than the rest of the large buildings, but it was still much larger than the regular small buildings. So they were certain that there would be something important hidden in here.

Their group had gathered at the entrance of this building and had been prepared to head in, but they didn't get the chance to go in in the end.

That was because they suddenly heard a sound coming from the distance.

When they turned to look in the direction of that sound, they didn't seem to see anything other than a cloud of dust.

But when they looked more closely, they found that this cloud of dust was getting larger and closer to them.

With their vision, they were able to see quite far, so they were able to see right through the cloud of dust as well to see what was causing this cloud of dust.

It was a bunch of skeletons that were running towards the city.

Momonga immediately knitted his brows when he saw this, but he also raised his hand and gathered his black energy in his palm. After gathering a ball of this black energy, he suddenly released it into wisps of black energy that flew out into the air without any targets.

These wisps of black energy seemed to dissipate into nothingness, but Momonga just had a calm look on his face when seeing this.

But after a few minutes, he couldn't help knitting his brows again.

Lin Fan could tell that something was wrong, so he asked, "What is it?"

Momonga didn't answer at first as he narrowed his eyes to look at the swarm of skeletons charging at the city.

Then after a while, he said, "I can't…control them."

Lin Fan didn't really understand what was wrong at first, but then he realized something.

Momonga was the immortal Lich King, the peak of all undead.

Normal skeletons like this should have been easy for someone like him to control, but now he was saying that he wasn't able to gain control of these skeletons.

Did that mean that there was something special about these skeletons, or…was there someone with stronger undead laws than him here that was already controlling the skeletons?

Lin Fan couldn't help also looking at these skeletons with a strange look.
