Chapter 200: The City of Steel
From southern Asia to the Arctic Ocean, normally it takes at least one and a half days to fly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, if a level 4 ability is in the air, it may be an hour away.
Entering and exiting the Qing Ming and traveling in the Nine Abysses, this is still quite exaggerated for a level 4 ability, but in the eyes of mortals, the two are almost the same!
Ling Qi dragged his family this time, although he relied on magic to make it convenient, but it definitely couldn't be compared to going on the road alone.
It's not that magic is inadequate, magic represents endless creation, but those who wield it are limited.
Besides, it is just a means of transportation, and Ling Qi will not be willing to invest a lot of manpower and material resources for this.
Every mage is a talent, and if you are a talent, you must make the best use of your talents!
In this world, magical elements are very thin, used quickly, and accumulated slowly. If you squander your power wantonly, when it is time to use it, it will become a cook without rice, and you can't help it.
This means of transportation, although it is a fake and shoddy product in Ling Qi's eyes, but it is also a masterpiece under the cooperation of dozens of mages, from the time of sitting on the "cloud boat", it is at most half a night and a morning, at the end of the ocean, the glacier is already faintly visible!
This speed is not worse than that of civil aircraft!
The earth is round, and the ground has arcs.
No matter how strong you are, even in the open sea and desert, you can see only a lot.
Therefore, for most of the existences above level four, as long as they can be seen with the naked eye normally, they are almost there!
"The North Pole..."
Wang Xiaoshun stood by the clouds, looking at a large white ice floe in the distance, and couldn't help but mutter.
He doesn't know much about the North Pole, he only knows that there are bears in the Arctic and no penguins, as if after entering the Arctic Circle, there is also the phenomenon of polar day and night, and the closer to the pole, the more so.
As for Antarctica, it is the opposite, with penguins and bears, and the environment is harsher than the Arctic, with lower average temperatures and higher altitudes.
Then, there is no then, other more specific aspects, Wang Xiaoshun is not clear, others ask, you have to ask Du Niang.
Others always think that highly educated people know everything, and that is of course Hu Yun.
In the fields they are not good at, the so-called high-level talents are actually no different from ordinary people, and even more inferior than some ordinary people with a wide range of interests and hobbies and a little knowledge.
Wang Xiaoshun retracted his reverie, turned around, and was stunned to find that Chu Renmei was standing behind him.
He couldn't help but have his pupils constricted, and even his breath became unstable and his breathing was short!
Most of this is disguise, Wang Xiaoshun is actually somewhat sure that he can fight against this evil ghost, the hidden dangers in his body have now become the most powerful weapons in his hands! He has done this attempt a long time ago, but in the past, he used to treat the "corpse worm" as a pure poison, but now he can command like an arm, although the power and nature have changed, almost a Gu thing, but it is also a killer weapon!
In addition to disguise, Wang Xiaoshun can act so perfectly, but he is not a little really afraid!
The sequelae of that horrific scene are not so easy to eliminate!
If an ordinary person is toyed with like Chu Renmei once, I am afraid that he will have a nervous breakdown directly, instead of having palpitations like Wang Xiaoshun.
Once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope, this is not shameful, it is just a heart disease.
Wang Xiaoshun knew that he should overcome it, and he had many methods, even if he didn't use special methods, such as using "corpse insects", to fight with his own will, he was so sure.
But Wang Xiaoshun was a little hesitant, if he really did it, no matter what method he used, if he didn't have any fear of evil ghosts, could he still act like he is now, so that people can't easily see the flaws?
Wang Xiaoshun lowered his head and walked past Chu Renmei, fortunately, this evil ghost did not make a move on him, otherwise Wang Xiaoshun did not dare to guarantee whether he could hold back, not to attack it, and endure torture for life.
Upheaval can lead to great changes in people's hearts, but some things hidden in the bones are not so easy to change.
He, Wang Xiaoshun, is not that ambitious after all, and if he has a choice, he will definitely not endure humiliation.
"Wang Xiaoshun!"
Wang Xiaoshun is still glad that Chu Renmei didn't find trouble, and trouble has come to the door.
"Wang Xiaoshun, why do you have a dead face all day long, do you think that we, the mages, are in the way of your eyes?"
The one who troubled Wang Xiaoshun was a legendary mage, and his tone was a little loud, probably not saying this kind of thing often.
He looks about middle-aged, not like a stunned young man who likes to deliberately find fault with others.
Although this cloud boat is not small, everyone is relatively quiet now, so this movement is a bit big.
Wang Xiaoshun raised his head and squinted his eyes.
There is no distinction between respect and inferiority in the team, and Ling Qi is only the nominal leader, not the master. But because of the difference in strength, everyone's right to speak and confidence are still different after all.
For example, he Wang Xiaoshun is almost the object of ridicule, although generally few people will deliberately step on him, after all, mages are not a group of people who like to mess with right and wrong, and their indifference goes deep into the bone marrow.
Like the legendary mage in front of him, if he didn't deliberately target it, he usually spoke like a whisper, how could it be like now.
"I didn't mean that. ”
Although he was very unhappy in his heart, in line with the principle that more things are better than less things, Wang Xiaoshun still chose to endure.
He wasn't afraid of this legendary mage, even if he was afraid of the powerful mage god behind him, at most, he really didn't want to attract too much attention from Ling Qi.
"Huh?"
Wang Xiaoshun's reaction made the mage slightly stunned, and it could be seen that he was indeed not good at finding trouble.
"Forget it, Goethe, come back!"
At this time, because of some coldness, Wang Xiaoshun was quite calm, but Goethe was stunned there, and Arian really couldn't stand it, so he said lightly.
This made Wang Xiaoshun's eyes shrink.
Who is Arion? He is the oldest and most powerful Dharma God among these Dharma Gods! Even when he comes to the real world, he has a strength close to level 5, only below Ling Qi and Phillips!
Wang Xiaoshun always thought that behind the female mage he offended before, the person who wanted to trouble him was a magic god named Morgan, but he didn't expect it to be Arian, who has always been very respected on weekdays!
Wang Xiaoshun doesn't care if the other party is respectable or not, but it is indeed one of the few people he doesn't want to mess with!
He's too strong!
Goethe snorted again, and then walked back to the team belonging to the mage with Wang Xiaoshun's wry smile. Sometimes, the brain-dead is not so easy to play, especially when everyone can't let go of their bodies.
Feng Hao came to Wang Xiaoshun's side for some reason at this time, and said with some teasing:
"Boy, I knew today, why bother in the first place. Women, let a little bit be. You didn't notice that there were only a few girls in that group of masters, and they were all treated as treasures. ”
"What's the matter, you provoked that old guy this time, do you want Brother Hao to help you support you?"
Feng Hao said with a smile, Wang Xiaoshun listened, but his expression was cold!
"No need!"
His reaction was even greater than being provoked by the strange mage.
It seems that compared to that mage, Feng Hao is his mortal enemy, or the enemy who killed his father.
Feng Hao's smile remained unchanged, looking at Wang Xiaoshun's departing back, and shook his head.
"You're so young..."
"Young, energetic, and driven. But the strength is not enough, even if you want to change, what can you change?"
Feng Hao quickly swayed in front of the female ghost Chu Renmei, this evil ghost did not have Wang Xiaoshun's explosive reaction.
was also unusually concerned by Feng Hao, Wang Xiaoshun was obviously vigilant and wary of Feng Hao, and the female ghost was the opposite, not only was she not afraid, but she was eager to try!
Previously, because it had done something meaningful, although it was unintentional and only acted as a tool of fate, Ling Qi still rewarded it and gave it the strength of the ghost king level.
In this way, it is also level four, and this female ghost naturally does not need to be afraid of Feng Hao.
And Feng Hao's covetousness for female ghosts on the surface is no longer so obvious, but there are still a lot of "teasing" to lure it to make a move.
When the female ghost is promoted, on the surface, it does make some people who are interested in it a lot more jealous, this is not only a matter of strength, but also a matter of disadvantage.
However, for Feng Hao, he wanted to capture it and eat it even more!
Whether it was Feng Hao or Wang Xiaoshun, Ling Qi gave them a road to heaven, but for one reason or another, they were still inevitably pushed onto another path, a shortcut to the heights!
This is also a misguided way!
Wang Xiaoshun still has some doubts about this, but Feng Hao is already a person who does not refuse. As long as it can make him stronger, even if he changes from a vampire to a real ghost, he doesn't care.
The Arctic Circle is very large, and the main body is the Arctic Ocean, which includes many surrounding islands and some ring continents.
The deeper you go, the farther away you are from land!
Sometimes, just because you see a large expanse of ice floe doesn't mean you're down to earth. Only by continuing to penetrate into it, the ice sheet that is several kilometers thick near the extreme point can be considered a relanding.
That's a special continent!
On the earth, there are two poles, north and south, both of which are forbidden places of death in the eyes of ordinary people, but they have completely different biospheres.
Biological adaptations are powerful, and different food chains can be formed under different environments and historical evolutions.
Since Antarctica has been relatively "isolated" since a long time ago, there is almost no "interaction" with the surrounding continents.
Therefore, there are fewer species in Antarctica and more barren resources, of course, this has a lot to do with the harsh environment.
The Arctic, for a variety of reasons, is much richer in ecological species than in the Antarctic, even though it is poorer than most places.
Unfortunately, because of a large-scale Arctic expedition hundreds of years ago, countless polar animals and plants were killed and endangered, including giant penguins in the Arctic.
For Ling Qi's team, both are extremely harsh environments, but whether they are the South Pole or the North Pole is not really different. Temperatures of tens of degrees, pressure differences of several kilometers above sea level, and all sorts of other differences are nothing more than that in the eyes of most people on the team.
If you are a human explorer, no matter how good your physical fitness is, you must make different preparations to explore different hells, otherwise you may be in danger of losing your life.
A large cloud fell from the sky, and if it had been placed in an urban area, it would have caused a sensation and was regarded as a miracle.
In this harsh environment, it only stirred up countless snow dust and a small number of flying birds!
This kind of large ice floe is not the land and earth that Ling Qi needs, and even from the perspective of ancient explorers, its simple value is very limited.
Since several Dharma Gods in the team proposed to collect species for research, Ling Qi had no choice but to let the team take a break here.
With this group of mages, he is also considered to be a large number of people, and he seems to be much more relaxed in everything, so he has always been extremely tolerant of these mages.
This didn't waste much time, and when the mages discovered that the few birds and beasts that survived in this year-round icy world depended only on long hair and thick fat under their skin, they immediately lost interest in these creatures.
Mages have a considerable desire to explore, but this is based on the premise that it is profitable, or it can bring them closer to the "truth".
Even in such a world of poor magical resources, if some species that survive in extreme environments have magical potential, or represent some truth they don't know, these mages will be happy to study it, but the situation in front of them is obviously not included in it.
Take a cloud boat and continue north.
Some of the islands are refreshing, and at this time people have already penetrated into the Arctic Circle, and most of the places in the circle that may have been inhabited have been missed.
This made Wang Xiaoshun a little disappointed, and the mages were not interested in those exotic customs.
After flying north for more than an hour, the sky gradually became dark, but it was not early nightfall, but chasing the night into the long night area.
It doesn't matter, pure darkness rarely appears in nature anyway, and as long as there is a little light, mages are not difficult to see.
Wang Xiaoshun knew before that there was a magnificent natural phenomenon in the North and South Poles, called the aurora.
Unfortunately, the aurora is completely different from the polar day and night, and it will not appear fixedly, with a certain amount of chance.
In some specific areas, due to the high electromagnetic activity, the probability of this chance will be high.
But in other areas, it is different, and even if you see it, it is already far away.
Ling Qi came all the way through the clouds, and he really didn't see that dreamlike scene for the time being, which made Wang Xiaoshun quite disappointed.
In this team, he is probably the only one who still wants to enjoy the polar scenery.
Half an hour later, the clouds fell on a huge ice field!
It is not difficult for the gods to find out that under the ice sheet is completely a vast ocean, and it is only because the ice is too thick that such a unique land has been formed.
It's still far from the extreme, but the ice under your feet is quite thick, and there are still nearly a thousand meters.
The landform on the ice sheet is not as simple as outsiders imagine, there are also steep peaks and ravines, and glaciers are stacked on top of each other. This plain is already a rare and good place.
After the clouds fell, Ling Qi didn't let the mages leave.
He got out of the cloud boat alone, and left his entourage here.
There are a lot of restrictions on this cloud boat, not only the ability to fly, but also the barrier, internal temperature control, or air purification, which is almost a sophisticated spaceship. Even if ordinary people stay on it, when they go to this kind of place, as long as they don't get off the cloud boat, there is no pressure to survive. Of course, maintaining these functions requires a constant input of mana, which is much less labor-intensive than normal casting, but it is also a cost, so it was not fully activated during previous journeys.
In fact, even if there is no such thing, the weakest mage in the team, as long as he does not survive for a long time, if he has enough mana, it will not be a problem at all to do some short trips on this ice field.
It's just that there are some things Ling Qi below that he doesn't want the mages to see, and it's always a good thing to save them a little more magic power.
When Ling Qi left, he didn't say his purpose, some mages had already known through the mouths of others that Ling Qi was going to build a portal, although they couldn't quite understand what Ling Qi was doing at this time, but they only thought that he was going to find a suitable place to build a magic circle!
Ling Qi's figure quickly disappeared into the roaring storm, and the mages waited calmly for more than three hours before he reappeared!
The returning Ling Qi is still the same as when he left, without any changes, and he is not stained with dust.
However, he rode a huge bronze dragon and came to the wind, as if he were an ancient dragon knight!
Individual mages recognized that it was not a real creature, but an alchemical golem.
It's just that this puppet is really extraordinary, even in reality, it has about level 4 strength, which is already comparable to some law gods who are not weak, and what is even more rare is that there seems to be soul fluctuations, like living beings!
"Follow it!"
Ling Qi jumped onto the cloud boat, let the bronze dragon lead the way, and under the puzzled eyes of many mages, he instructed the operator to follow the cloud boat!
More than 20 minutes after flying out, a metal city standing in the middle of the glacial world has loomed!
"It's... Portal ???"
Some of the mages were dumbfounded, staring in amazement at the metal life that roamed the outside of the city.
Like Wang Xiaoshun, he even stared out his eyes, completely stunned by such a change.
Ling Qi looked at the metal city, and there was also a strange flame dancing in his eyes!
Unlike the usual fantasy realm, this is not a spectacle between fantasy and reality, it is a real mechanical city, a war fortress that can conquer the real world!
It was originally a fantasy world recently conquered by the New World, and it was about level 4 or so, barely an intermediate plane!
Although it is considered to be at the bottom of the intermediate plane, it also has a good evolution system, and it also has a god-level existence, and is called the mechanical dragon clan by the natives!
How vast is a medium plane? At least dozens of times larger than the total area of the earth! You must know that according to the calculation of the rule system of the fantasy world, the earth in reality is at most a second-level planet, and there is a question mark!
After such a wide world becomes real through the "gate", there is only such a magnificent steel city left!
This conversion rate is really speechless, but it is almost a miracle!
This was the first time Ling Qi had made such an attempt, and in the process, he had even used the power of the Book of Heaven many times, and the fire of fate was also burning non-stop, Xiao was like this, and the door was almost burst!
After all, Ling Qi's cognition of the change of true illusion is still superficial, and the ontology is not a saint, whether it is strength or realm, it is seriously insufficient, even if he relies on all kinds of plug-in means, he is very reluctant to achieve this point, there are many imperfections!
