Chapter 270: City of Stone
"What happened to that mission?" asked Lanch, tilting his head as he felt for the final bullet in his pocket.
"We were going to try it after we finished this order, but now it seems impossible, that gun is the only thing F wants, and after waiting for so many years, it only has come to this end. ”
"The world is unpredictable, if we had been a little more vigilant at that time, maybe F wouldn't have died. Lanchi patted Fujiwara on the shoulder, they have a good relationship on weekdays, after all, they have been partners in the past and now are companions, and they both know each other's fate, but it is inevitable that they will not be able to accept this reality.
"Fujiwara, it's dawn, go wake them up, F finally got into this situation......" Hanajima Taki has been staring at F's tombstone, there are many things that he will never forget to this day, if he goes back in time, he probably won't choose to join Gerntu, but break away from the family and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests alone, "The future will not be easy." ”
……
Four months later.
At the other end of the forest, Xia Cheng's team was still heading towards the exit, and almost none of the nuclear-level creatures in the obsidian team dared to approach it, and the few people who had been unimpeded all the way gradually relaxed their vigilance and became extremely lazy.
"Ah~ I'm so bored, I really want to find some nuclear-grade creatures to kill ......" Irako walked in the back row of the line, holding the back of her head with her hands and looking at the forests on both sides with resentment, "Na, Xia Cheng, can you please put away the obsidian? Thanks to you, no nuclear-level creatures dare to approach us at all." ”
Xia Cheng didn't respond, but Xiao Zhu, who was walking in front, looked back and smiled: "Isn't that great? Without their attacks, we can go a little faster, maybe we can get to the exit earlier than their team on Flower Island." ”
"Even so, this monotonous life always needs to be adjusted, right? You didn't talk all the way, I was the only one talking to myself, I really can't figure out why I'm with you. Irako continued to complain.
"If you're bored, let me give you a try, Miss Irako. Akagaki suddenly turned his head, revealing a sharp gaze, in a way, her personality is very similar to the current Xia Cheng, no wonder she is the only one who can approach Xia Cheng without pressure.
"Stupid, why deliberately delay time, it's not good for everyone. Irako waved her hand.
"Hmph, it's Miss Irako, you're talking about boring. ”
"Okay, okay, don't quarrel. Seeing that the situation was not right last month, he hurriedly stepped forward to play the round, "If Cortana wants to go for fun, I'll accompany you during the lunch break later, we are now companions in a team, don't hurt the harmony because of this kind of thing." ”
"Sure enough, Sen is more sympathetic to women's hearts, na, are men like this?"
"Have you had enough of arguing? Xia Cheng's voice was cold and ruthless, and the terrifying gaze almost made the air around her freeze, the knife in her hand had never been recovered since the day she awakened, as long as Xia Cheng was alive, the source of this knife's power was endless.
"There seems to be something up ahead, and everyone is quiet. Xia Cheng raised the knife in his hand and motioned for the team to stop, "Akagaki and I will go around from the right, and the three of you continue to move forward, ready to go to war at any time." ”
"Is there a fight?" Iryoko ran forward with excitement on her face, tied the long hair that was scattered behind her back into a ponytail with the hairband on her wrist, and walked forward with a smile, "Moriya, pay attention to your back, don't be attacked." ”
"Got Cortana. ”
Looking at Irako's back, Xiaozhu couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Irako is like a child a lot of the time." ”
"Because she is a preschool teacher, she has been with the children for a long time, and even her heart has become a child. "Last month and Irako taught together at an elementary school, the only difference is that Irako only taught physical education, but last month she was very interested in liberal arts.
"Preschool Teacher ......"
"Any questions?"
"No, nothing. Miyomi smiled, "Mr. Moriya, we have to hurry up and follow, otherwise Miss Irako will not know what dangerous place she will run to alone." ”
The team quickly moved forward, and a few minutes later, Akagaki and Xia Cheng suddenly stopped in front of a towering cliff, they never dreamed that they would be blocked by such a cliff, judging from Xia Cheng's insight just now, if there was no monster above the sun level, she would not have shown such an expression.
"Xiacheng, wow......" Irako on the other side also rushed to the cliff and almost fell down because of a slip under his feet.
"Cortana, are you alright?" Shangyue grabbed the crook of Irako's arm and said worriedly, "You have a fear of heights, so let's stay back first." ”
"I'm fine. Irako's cheeks flushed, and although she said that it was okay, her body obediently retreated.
"Xia Cheng, this is ...... down here" Akagaki on the side looked at the bottom of the cliff and exclaimed in disbelief, "A city?"
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked and looked down on the edge of the cliff, and even Irako, who was afraid of heights, couldn't overcome her curiosity and came over with the help of last month.
Beneath the mist of the cliffs, a city made entirely of stone unfolds into the world, a city of stone that seems to be embedded in a forest, but the city is so large that there is no end in sight. There were no walking passers-by on the streets, and everything was immersed in dead silence.
"Wait a minute. Xiaozhu suddenly raised his head and hurriedly opened the obsidian map, "Could the exit where we go is here?"
As soon as they heard this kind of words, other people also felt that it was not impossible to do so, looking at the area of the city, the exit from the other world was probably here. Sure enough, when Xiaozhu opened the obsidian map and found the blue diamond-shaped exit marker, it coincided with the scene in front of him, and there was no doubt that the final journey would come to an end here!
"How do we go down?" Shangyue looked around, and found that there was no road leading to the bottom at all, and the height from here to the stone city below was about 100 meters, and there were no vines or ropes beside the cliff, and if there was no way down, this exit would be completely meaningless.
"Whew-"
Just as everyone was thinking about it, Xia Cheng suddenly jumped out from the rear, without carrying any insurance measures, and jumped off the cliff like this!
"Hey, you're dead!" Irako shouted and tried to grab Natsujo's hand, but she fell so fast that she couldn't catch her again just by touching her fingertips.
Xia Cheng's body fell down quickly, and after about a few dozen meters, she suddenly waved the knife in her hand and stabbed into the stone wall behind her, and a huge tearing force suddenly came, and her facial muscles twitched, but she still endured the pain.
"Boom. ”
"Just kidding...... Seeing Xia Cheng land safely, Irako's entire brain was doubting his eyes, that kind of action normal humans can't do at all, even if it does, the arm will inevitably be dislocated, and at worst, it will be broken directly!
"Huh!" I saw Xia Cheng's right arm wave upward, and a crisp joint sound came from below, her arm was indeed dislocated, and this suicidal way of falling seemed to be something that only she could do.
"What are you doing up there?" Xia Cheng turned around and looked up.
"This guy is crazy, no one can do it!" Irako was already afraid of heights, let alone let her make such a move, for her, the forest above did not know how happy it was.
"I'll go down first, Miss Irako, you can't defeat yourself if you don't overcome your fears. Akagaki learned Xia Cheng's movements, jumped off the cliff, and unfolded the obsidian in the same position as her, the black thorn stabbed towards the stone wall several times before it successfully stuck inside, the pain in her right arm hit the heart, just for a second, she couldn't bear the pain, and subconsciously let go of her hand!
"Caiqing!" Akagaki suddenly lost his balance halfway down, and the whole person began to roll and fall towards the ground, such an unsuspecting landing, there was only one way to die!
"This idiot, what is it to defeat yourself, there is no point in doing crazy things with your life!" Irako knew that she couldn't help Akagaki, and now she was the only one who could save her life, and the others could only pray for her.
"Click! Click!"
The three black thorns appeared at the same time at the same time at Akagaki's call, and she thrust the black thorns into the stone wall, and with the force of the fall, her feet stepped hard towards the exposed end, and the strong pressure made the black thorns take deep roots in the stone wall. At the same time, he saw the right moment, grabbed the ends of the two black thorns with both hands, and barely stopped on the surface of the stone wall.
"Whew...... Whew......"
Akagaki's heartbeat was close to the limit, and she thought she would fall to her death directly, but fortunately, the desire to survive at the last moment overcame the fear in her heart.
At this time, there was only a few meters left from the ground, and even if you jumped from this height, your obsidian-strengthened body would not be harmed in any way.
"Are you hurt?" Xia Cheng asked, looking at the sweaty Akagaki.
"No, Xia Cheng, how did I do just now?"
"Not bad. Xia Cheng had been watching the interior of Stone City since just now, and she believed in her perception when she was on it, and it gave people an ominous premonition, I am afraid that the city is not simple.
"Xia Cheng, you guys go to the city first, see you later!"
Irako knew that she would not land as perfectly as Xia Cheng, and the almost dying Akagaki was a lesson for her, there were many strong vines in this forest, and collecting more of them together was a good rope, and its toughness was enough for three people to climb down from it.
"I saw a square in front of me just now, so let's meet there. ”
"OK, got it!"
