This causes them to accumulate toxins and madness, and when their physical condition declines, they either die quickly or gradually lose control.

In order not to affect the surroundings and cause damage to the city-state, the latter will often arrange everything after realizing that the state is not right, take a torch and a small amount of food, leave the defensive circle, and go away alone in the never-ending darkness, never returning.

Residents of Moon City can imagine what their end will be like, either being killed by monsters or turning into monsters, there is no other possibility.

After seven or eight seconds of silence, the noseless female Xin hesitated and said to A'dal, "Maybe, this is the monster that killed your father."

"It has a belt made of animal skin wrapped around it..." A'dal's voice gradually became lower, he raised the dagger made of white bones in his hand, and thrust it down forcefully, cutting out a fairly normal piece of flesh and blood.

The members of the hunting team completed the collection skillfully in silence, until Ruth, whose eyes were almost squeezed together, suddenly said in a low voice: "Among the newborn children, there are more and more deformed ones..."

The price of accumulating toxins and madness from generation to generation is far more than a simple decline in the average age. Those who maintain normal physical conditions will gradually appear certain mutations, just like Adal, who has a lot of sarcoids on his face.

Similarly, the precipitated toxins and madness may also be passed on to future generations, causing deformities to appear. Ruth and Xin in the hunting party belong to this category.

Their lives will be shorter, and they will be more prone to loss of control and mutation.

The hunting team present knew what it meant to have more and more deformed children. It might not take two or three generations. The residents of Moon City might get out of control before their bodies grow up or give birth to a new generation.

In that way, even if there is no external attack, Moon City will be destroyed quickly, leaving only stone buildings, wall paintings, etc. to prove their existence.

"I hope the High Priest and the others can find a new direction..." Adal stood up with the lantern in his hand, and replied in an unusually feeble manner.

In the past two or three thousand years, it is not that Moon City has not sought a way out of the current situation. They have sent out one after another to explore the depths of the darkness. Some returned after encountering serious setbacks without any gains. There was no more news, and he just disappeared into the boundless darkness.

In addition, a certain distance to the east of Moon City, there is a gray mist covering the sky and the earth.

They are like invisible barriers, not only isolating the line of sight, but also making it impossible for any living beings to pass through.

The residents of Moon City once believed that this was the place of hope, that the place shrouded in gray mist was a normal country, and that the other side of the gray mist was an uncursed land.

They tried again and again to enter the gray mist, but failed:

They dug long passages, trying to pass through the ground without invisible barriers, but the corresponding area deep in the earth was also shrouded in gray mist;

They managed to obtain the ability to fly, and tried to cross from a high altitude, but they couldn't see the top of the gray fog until they were struck by lightning;

They mobilized the power of all the demigods and sealed items, and attacked the target again and again. After two or three thousand years, they accumulated day after day, but they failed to wear down the invisible barrier...

Hearing Captain Adal's words, members of the hunting team felt desperate and sad, as if they were slipping from the edge of the "abyss" but unable to save themselves.

Those deformed people belong to the type that is difficult to control their emotions. At this time, they more or less feel that there is something suppressed in their hearts and want to explode.

��In Moon City, two or three hundred years ago, deformed people could not become Extraordinary, and those who joined the hunting team could only do collection work, but as the manpower became more and more tense, the high priest and other high-level officials relaxed limit.

"Let's go, this food is not enough." A'dal looked around, carrying a lantern, and walked deeper into the darkness.

They didn't risk extinguishing the fire and letting monsters emerge from the darkness, because those were probably beyond their ability to deal with.

In the suffocatingly quiet environment, the members of Yuecheng's hunting team couldn't help but feel a sense of endless darkness.

This is like the current situation of Yuecheng, where there will never be any hope, and the time for the lantern in his hand to burn is getting less and less.

When the last ray of light dissipated, they would be swallowed up by the darkness without a sound.

As he walked, A'dal's eyes suddenly turned yellow.

That is a little fire, not the fire of the hunting team! JrNovels.com
