Chapter 20: The Unpredictable City
The old man Qilin looked at Shi Jiu with a blank expression, he sighed and said, "It's a pity that I don't have much time to explain, when the opportunity is ripe in the future, you will naturally know all about it!"
Shi Jiu nodded, listening to the old man Qilin continue to tell the story.
"My Divine Beast Core has been cultivated for 90 million years, and it has been watched and feared by countless high-level spirit beasts, but except for you, a child of the starless clan and spirit beasts, any Battle Star Fighter below the god level will inevitably explode and die if absorbed. But your unique constitution and attributeless battlestar absorption are completely fine. ”
The old man Qilin's words made Shi Jiu more and more confused, and he opened his mouth to ask, but the old man Qilin waved his hand to stop him.
The old man took a deep breath, and the look in his eyes was slowly fading.
"I have only one expectation, to take my Kiki, take good care of her, and let her grow up carefree. ”
"My life is full, and my life is dying! Quickly absorb this beast core, it can be regarded as your thank you for taking care of Kiki. ”
"The gate of the underworld has been opened, I'm leaving, don't be afraid, I'll leave a wisp of thought in the beast core, goodbye friends!" After the middle-aged man finished speaking, his body gradually blurred, and disappeared into the surrounding air little by little.
The golden retriever puppy in the arms of the middle-aged man was stunned by the sudden change, and she howled and fainted.
Shi Jiu hurriedly ran over and put Kiki, who had passed out, in his arms.
At this moment, a divine beast core flowing with a red halo of color appeared, and it spun in a circle slightly, and then floated in midair.
Shi Jiu saw everything that happened in front of him, and his heart was filled with grief. However, the old man Qilin's parting advice was still lingering, and he couldn't live up to the old man's wishes, so Shi Jiu didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and quickly jumped under the red divine beast core.
The red unicorn divine beast core, which had been circling around Shi Jiu's head for a few weeks, throbbed slightly, and swooped into Shi Jiu's skull, and then melted into his bloodline.
Shi Jiu absorbed the beast core, shook his head, stretched out his arms and legs, and didn't notice anything unusual. He picked Kiki up and looked behind him. Sure enough, there was a looming door there, similar to the Void Gate that the two vice presidents of the Battle Star Academy opened the Spirit Beast Valley.
Shi Jiu carried his dream of youth and stepped on the past unswervingly.
Buzz~!
A flurry of light and sound lingered in Shi Jiu's ears, and his consciousness became in a trance, but this feeling quickly collapsed and became invisible, because Shi Jiu and they had already passed through the Void Gate.
The gentle morning breeze struck, Shi Jiu was carrying his dream of youth, standing on the hillside on the outskirts of an ancient city, Shi Jiu knew that this should be the unpredictable city that the old man Qilin said.
Shi Jiu looked at the horizon on the horizon, it was already early morning at this time.
Dream Youth's consciousness gradually began to return, she frowned occasionally, and some intermittent memories came to mind.
At this moment, the unpredictable city seems to be shrouded in a sea of clouds, and the towers of high and low buildings break through the blockade, standing above the morning mist, beckoning its extraordinary grandeur and wealth to the world.
It turns out that this remote town is so rich.
As soon as Shi Jiu stepped into the unpredictable city, he found that the prosperity of this place far exceeded that of Jizhou City, his birthplace, and Dacheng of Dur Academy. Although the sun has not yet risen, the fog has not dispersed. But the unpredictable city is already full of people and bustling, and the shouts and shouts on the streets are full of ears one after another.
Dream Youth recovered very quickly, her thinking and memory basically recovered ninety percent, and her eyes had begun to become clear.
Meng Qingchun struggled to break free from Shi Jiu's burden, she said that she could walk, but as soon as she took a step, she almost fell to the ground.
Shi Jiu had to walk with his hands holding Mengchun.
A handsome boy and a beautiful girl walking hand in hand on the street are nothing short of eye-catching, not to mention the very hospitable and very wealthy inhabitants of the unpredictable city.
The city has a long history, and it is recorded in the vast scroll of history that it continues to prosper and develop. The root of all this is largely due to the mysterious Duan family in the city.
The Duan family was not prosperous, far less famous than it. After an interval of ten or twenty years, the Duan family will hold a funeral, although they have been very low-key in handling the funeral, but they are still hotly discussed by the whole city every time. It is rumored in the city that the successive heirs of the Duan family rarely lived past the age of twenty, and most of them died early. Even so, there is still an endless stream of all kinds of people who come to Moguchi City every year to look for the Duan family, and their purposes are different, but without exception, they are all for information or for guidance.
Of course, without exception, they will bring an astonishing amount of property to the Duan family as a condition of exchange.
Only a small fraction of the money received by the Duan family remained, and most of it was donated for unpredictable construction, or directly funded to improve the lives of those in need.
Therefore, the Duan family has a very high status in the minds of the people of Unpredictable City.
The inhabitants of the city of Unpredictable are especially welcoming to outsiders. It is as if every outsider brings endless wealth and surprises. But they didn't know that the God of Wealth in their hearts, the heir of the Duan family, had become a monk a few days ago and traveled to the ends of the world.
Shi Jiu and Meng Qingchun walked one after the other, and as soon as they crossed the city gate and entered the street, enthusiastic passers-by came to talk.
"Hello, you two must be looking for Duan Gongzi, right?!" The passer-by asked happily: "Follow me, I'll take you two there!"
"We're just passing by, let's eat something and leave!" Shi Jiu arched his hand with his fists, and then said, "This uncle, I really want to ask you."
Passers-by couldn't help but be a little disappointed when they heard that Shi Jiu was not looking for Duan Gongzi. But Shi Xiaoqi suddenly asked him about things, which aroused his enthusiasm again.
"Okay, just ask!"
"May I ask this uncle, how is Dacheng going?" Shi Jiu asked.
"Isn't it?" said the passer-by with a look of surprise on his face, "Dacheng is far away, and the horse team of the trade will take ten days. And without getting lost. Luckily, there are plenty of caravans arriving and departing every day. But today the first convoy has already departed! You can take a short break, and soon there will be a caravan departing!"
"Thank you, uncle, let's go have some breakfast first," Shi Jiu thanked and prepared to move forward.
