Castle of Black Iron - Chapter 657

Chapter 657: A Dead City
In the moonlight, a black small beetle flew over ridges, woods, cliffs, grasslands, rivers swiftly . . .



This time, Zhang Tie felt much easier in flight .

As this small beetle enjoyed various variant plant fruits in Castle of Black Iron these days, it looked spirited and excited everyday .

With the cultivation and management of Heller, many of those fruits that Zhang Tie threw in Castle of Black Iron a few years ago had completed variation . Some fruits became completely inedible after variation while some became more yummy . According to Heller, those yummy fruits contained more aura values .

These days, the black beetle became the frequent visitor of that variant strawberry farm on the mountain in Castle of Black Iron . It would eat a lot of variant strawberries over there everyday . When Zhang Tie called it, the little thing drilled out of a strawberry with a sweet juice all over its body .

The little thing was very happy as it indeed treated Castle of Black Iron as the paradise .

Zhang Tie was happy too .

Therefore, even though Zhang Tie was going to make another raid in Mocco City at this moment, he still felt pretty relaxed .

With an upsurging battle force, Zhang Tie became more calm . Zhang Tie didn't care whether Mocco City was collapsed or not . After all, he could not alter the overall situation alone . This time, Zhang Tie had three targets: first, he wanted to get one wing demons' fruit of source and one iron-armored demons' fruit of source; second, he determined to exterminate Senel Clan . Even though he could not clean Senel Clan completely but this time, he aimed to damage their foundation at least; third, Zhang Tie expected to kill another knight of Three-eye Association or demons, which would be great .



During the process of killing that knight of Three-eye Association, Zhang Tie remembered a very interesting board game, the process of which was determined by throwing dices, that he used to play with other students when he was in Blackhot City . In the game, if an inferior player could kill the Boss by skipping a rank, according to the calculating rules of the bonus of the game, the player would become rich at once .

After killing that knight of Three-eye Association, Zhang Tie felt like killing the Boss in the board game . With the rich reward, his battle force was greatly improved .

Zhang Tie returned along the route that he came to the valley .

Even though it was already a few days, Zhang Tie could still see the traces of the battle of the two knights .

When he came to Mocco City, Zhang Tie was startled as many big fires had not died out . However, compared to those big fires, the colorful smoke that covered this city were brighter .

The north city gate of Mocco City had been covered with corpses, which belched the most weird smoke .

When Zhang Tie saw the smoke, a word occurred to his mind——poison!

Zhang Tie dared not enter the smoke . Instead, he flew above them and started to observe them .



The smoke came from those rotten corpses . Compared to that of a few days ago, those corpses of demonized puppets had been rotten completely, especially those corpses of demonized puppets which were piled up, which turned into a rotten mire while dirty fluid flew everywhere with a heavy stink . Meanwhile, bubbles broke out from those corpses constantly, releasing a colorful gas .

Zhang Tie realized that it was a terrifying ptomaine .

The closer he was to the downtown, the more corpses of demonized puppets would he see . Each corpse of demonized puppet became a source of ptomaine . All the sources of ptomaines turned the entire Mocco City into a huge gas chamber .

On the almost ruined urban streets, Zhang Tie saw numerous corpses of demonized puppets . Although many of them had no scars, given their extremely grim looks, Zhang Tie knew that they were poisoned to death . Some of them even maintained the posture to tear open their necks and windpipes, which looked pretty terrifying .

There were also corpses of human fighters among them . However, compared to that of demonized puppets, Zhang Tie could see evident injuries and damages on human corpses . He could also judge that all of those human fighters fought to the death .

There were more than 1 million of corpses of demonized puppets, fighting to the death or being poisoned to death and about hundreds of thousands of corpses of human fighters in Mocco City .

The entire city had already become a dead city full of corpses . Because of those corpses which were releasing ptomaine, although demons corps had occupied this place, they could still not take this place as their stronghold and supply base .

After circling around the city, Zhang Tie didn't see any alive demonized puppet at all . It was so quiet in the downtown that he could not even hear the barks of strayed dogs or meows of strayed cats .

Watching the scene, Zhang Tie instantly recalled an unsentimental, arrogant woman in a black robe——Tirsiris, the terrifying voodoo pharmacist who was awarded as the Snake of Selnes .

When Zhang Tie came to Mocco City last time, he even encountered this woman in the Demon Hunters Bar . When the city was besieged by the demonized puppets corps, this woman disappeared . Zhang Tie thought that she had already left . It was really out of his imagination that the woman always stayed in Mocco City and gave such a "great" gift to the demonized puppets corps when they occupied this city .

Even Zhang Tie felt chilly about such a brutal means .

Watching the tomb-like city, Zhang Tie realized how terrifying was a voodoo pharmacist for the first time . Each voodoo pharmacist was the most terrifying biochemical weaponeer . 'I've just poisoned two b*stards of red-scarf burglars since I was born . ' Compared to such a scene, it was like the fireflies in front of the bright moon .

It was Zhang Tie's first time to recognize the great effect of the poison on the battlefield .

Perhaps such ptomaine was nothing severe for powerhouses as they could directly leave when they found it; however, it was lethal to millions of common human fighters and demonized puppets .

After circling around the downtown for a short while, Zhang Tie flew towards the warehouses of allied human forces in the city . He wanted to see whether he could get something there . Zhang Tie remembered that there were piles of materials a few days ago . Zhang Tie even thought about teleporting them into Castle of Black Iron before the city fell instead of seeing them falling in the hands of demons .

The warehouses were covered with ptomaine . It seemed that the warehouses were the last stronghold of urban garrisons . Zhang Tie saw the fortifications and a great number of corpses of human fighters near those warehouses . By contrast, there were more corpses of demonized puppets . Zhang Tie realized that a fierce battle happened here .

The warehouse's area of food had been burned into ruins while the food had turned into black carbon slags . Similarly, the warehouse's area of weapons had turned into plain ruins, which was covered with fragmented corpses of demonized puppets . There were even some terrifying huge pits on the ground in the center of the warehouses . At the sight of those huge pits, Zhang Tie imagined how some alchemist's bombs exploded there .

The human fighters near the warehouses resisted demonized puppets until the last moment; additionally, they destroyed the entire warehouses' area with the alchemist's bombs that were stored in the warehouses . It was hard to measure the loss of the demonized puppets corps; however, after such explosions, it was also hard to imagine how many available weapons could still be explored from the ruins .

Watching such a tragic scene, Zhang Tie felt complicated . He also felt fortunate about avoiding from such a destruction; at the same time, he showed his respect to these human fighters who defended the warehouses at the cost of their lives . If he had rushed over here and plundered all these items away before the city fell, such explosions might not even happen .

'It seems that it's predestined . '

Many human fighters had already fought to death here . Given the quantity of the human corpses here, Zhang Tie predicted that a part of human fighters had broken out of the city .

When Zhang Tie prepared to leave Mocco City and continued to fly southwards, a team of wing demons flew over Zhang Tie's head .

When he saw those wing demons, Zhang Tie instantly realized that he had been noticed by them . Until those wing demons flew over his head rapidly did Zhang Tie realize that he was just a trivial beetle, 'How could those wing demons pay attention to a beetle?' Zhang Tie smiled .

After leaving Mocco City a few miles, those wing demons started to hover above an area . Closely after that, they dove sharply downwards with shrill sounds . In a split second, Zhang Tie had witnessed gleaming luster of battle qi and booms in the area where the wing demons hovered above . . .

Zhang Tie's heart pounded as he hurriedly accelerated towards that place .
