Originally, Hua Jiuxi wanted to ask some questions such as air pressure and temperature, but after thinking about it, mortal birds can travel long distances at such an altitude - let alone a group of demon birds. Besides, that stronghold is definitely not small, and the internal environment should be self-contained like Shaoguang City or the Mothweed Society, so you still have to visit it yourself.

But how can it be embarrassing, although Hua Jiuxi is also a warlock with great powers, he does not have a flying machine like the "Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon Shuttle". The only feasible way is to take a hot air balloon, but to get the relevant authorities to approve the slip.

Xiang Ling saw that he looked hesitant, knowing what he was thinking, so he said: "Da Luo can't go up in the sky, but ordinary people can still go up in the sky." In fact, Luo Yue's family has a business, which is air transportation. ”

Hua Jiuxi said "ah": "Didn't you say it earlier?"

Xiang Ling had an expression of "you didn't ask me", and said: "Let's go to the nearest office of Luo Yue's subordinates, and we can fly in a word——"

Then he came to a deep mountain forest, and among them was an old tree that was particularly tall, and on top of it was a very large wooden house.

And under the canopy is a place of domestic garbage, Xiang Ling pulled the sleeve of the Jiuxi shirt and said, "You shout." ”

"Is there anyone-" This old tree has a function of 100 meters, and Hua Jiuxi has to use all the confidence in his chest and abdomen to feel that the people on the tree-if there are people, can hear it.

There was silence for a moment, and a rope was thrown down.

Hua Jiuxi let Xiang Ling, but Xiang Ling was disrespectful. It's just that the speed at which she climbs the rope is so fast that Hua Jiuxi doesn't have a chance to see anything at all.

Seeing Xiang Ling go up, Hua Jiuxi followed slowly. The interior of the wooden house was simply furnished, just like an ordinary office - a table, a chair and a few simple daily necessities. And Hua Jiuxi can smell a trace of lo-mei.

Sitting behind the table was a well-rounded lady who, like Luo Yue, had a head of red hair like fire, but this one had a huge old-fashioned bun with a few silver hairpins stuck in it.

This hairstyle matched the suit that was obviously fashionable, nondescript, and Hua Jiuxi wanted to laugh for a while.

And Xiang Ling stood in front of her with her hands crossed, and the two seemed to be confronting.

"Excuse me—" Hua Jiuxi whispered.

"What?" The woman picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, "I can handle all the business related to the Nine Babies Group." ”

"We want to go to heaven." Hua Jiuxi said.

"Which route?" The woman's tone was straight, after all, she said it every day, every month.

"This ...... And the route? Hua Jiuxi said with a smile.

"Wow, look at this." The woman handed Hua Jiuxi a map. This is a partial map of southwest China, marked with many place names and legends of air currents, gods and monsters that are not found on ordinary maps.

"We're either going to take the air road, or we're just going to the sky—that is, to your company's headquarters." Hua Jiuxi said again.

The woman squinted at him for a moment and said, "Then you have to pay for it." ”

Hua Jiuxi subconsciously touched his trouser pocket, while Xiang Ling handed him the box in his hand, apparently asking him to open it.

Hua Jiuxi stroked the mouth of the box, and it spoke. Xiang Ling took out a token from it and shook it at the woman: "Do you know this?" The token of the moth's insect head, the Venerable should have arranged everything obediently-"

"Hehe, the Moths have no jurisdiction over our company. I am not a member. Pay or pay! She didn't deliberately look angry, but she could feel the determination to not give up.

"Hmm......" Hua Jiuxi didn't expect Xiang Ling to compromise like this - only after listening to her did I know that she was actually very afraid of a woman who could spill.

"But that clerk still seems reasonable?" Hua Jiuxi asked.

"Then you don't know." Xiang Ling said.

Don't care about this, Hua Jiuxi thought about it, Luo Yue's handwritten letter might work, so he took out the letter and respectfully handed it to the woman, saying, "Ms. Luo Yue is your top boss." ”

The woman's eyes widened this time, and she said, "It's really her old man's handwriting...... The two of them can make a four-fold discount, which is already a big face. ”

Hua Jiuxi took out a silver dollar from his body, and Xiang Ling hurriedly covered his hand and said, "There is me." ”

Saying that, Xiang Ling turned his back to Hua Jiuxi and the others, as if he was unbuttoning the neckline with his hand, and leaned in and groped for a while.

"Whew." Xiang Ling put a small cyan crystal bead on the table, and the bead almost rolled off and was grabbed by the woman.

"The value of this crystal bead - you should see it without me saying." Xiang Ling said lightly.

The woman looked at it with a magnifying glass for a long time before she said, "It's a mud bead!" Miss, why are you so polite, I really can't find it. ”

Xiang Ling said: "Take it, is it enough this time?" ”

The woman was really a little good, and her tone immediately became neither humble nor arrogant: "Naturally, it is enough, I will arrange a vehicle for the two of you." As he spoke, he put the beads in his bag.

"Xiangling, where did you get that bead from?" Hua Jiuxi asked her in a whisper.

"Sir, you are really a hungry ghost, you know the answer in the morning." Xiang Ling said, "I have a lot of these pearls and emerald ...... on my underwear," she endured, but a scarlet cloud still appeared on her face.

Hua Jiuxi also blushed for a while, and said, "Aren't you a bad person?" ”

"It's okay, I have scales." Xiang Ling deliberately said this, and Hua Jiuxi's strange imagination of her was suddenly disillusioned.

The woman saw that she had reached the door of the tree house and jumped - Hua Jiuxi saw that at this moment, two huge wings sprang out from her back and landed safely.

Xiang Ling also jumped down silently.

"If you all jump, then I'll lose face if I come down the rope......" Hua Jiuxi couldn't help it, so he put on his boots and used the reverse thrust to reach the ground.

When the woman saw that the passengers were coming, she shouted into the woods—a kind of hen-like cry, which was really deafening.

I heard that there were also people in the forest who responded, and after a while, there were several half-man, half-beasts, bull-headed and tiger-brained monsters like slender men, pulling a big boat and coming out. Wherever the boat passed, the grass and trees fell all the way.

"It's just an ordinary cargo ship." Hua Jiuxi took a look, this thing was no different from the boats trafficking live animals on the Yangtze River, and there were several big holes at the bottom, I don't know how old it was.

"Then you're wrong." As she spoke, the woman knocked on the hull of the boat, and saw that there was something white slowly poking its head out of the big holes. When these things were stretched, Hua Jiuxi realized that they were also huge wings.

"It turned out to be a spaceship." Hua Jiuxi suddenly said a word from a science fiction novel.

The woman called at the big boat a few more times, but of course Hua Jiuxi didn't understand. She turned around and said to Hua Jiuxi and Xiangling: "I have already informed it of the route, and I wish it a happy journey." ”

"Okay, is there a parachute or something like first aid?" Hua Jiuxi thought about it quite well.

"Yes. I can take you up and check it out. The woman thought to herself, this kid in a tunic is really a lot.

There are parachutes, but they seem to be based on a jellyfish-like creature. "It's much better than a human parachute," the woman assured—"and of course your old worries are unnecessary." ”

Hua Jiuxi got on the boat with nervousness, and shook violently, and the boat flapped its wings and quickly ascended to the sky. The windows of the cabin were immediately closed by a reddish fleshy film - that is, the ship was actually living beings, or semi-living beings.

"The ship isn't fast." Xiang Ling said, "It's better to play cards." ”

Hua Jiuxi didn't expect Xiang Ling to take the initiative to ask, so he said, "But not right now." ”

"Sir, don't you have several decks of cards, for divination, there are monster cards, and a set of "four trump cards" that account for the fortune of the country, that should also be able to play. Xiang Ling said.

"Oh, I thought you were talking about poker." Hua Jiuxi patted his head and said, "That thing is quite fun - and the luck factor is not small, so it won't be lost." ”

As he spoke, he opened the confidential box - that's right, Hua Jiuxi also packed some personal belongings into this box.

"This game actually needs four people to play." Hua Jiuxi spread out a large piece of paper, and there were flowers on it, this is the chessboard.

The shape of the chessboard resembles the "Jerusalem Cross", with a large circle in the center, and at the end of the cross is a pattern of three cities. The criss-crossing lines divide the cross into many small grids.

"Alright, let's start choosing a role." Hua Jiuxi took out the dice.

(Game rules: Each of the four players rolls the dice, and they can choose five characters according to the number of points - the man lord in the east, the elephant lord in the south, the treasure lord in the west, the horse lord in the north and the sea lord as a substitute.) All characters have their own characteristics)

"Xiangling is a girl, so you go first." Hua Jiuxi said.

"There's no need to ......," Xiang Ling said, but he still rolled once, and the point was five.

"Sea Lord...... Well, it's up to me. Hua Jiuxi closed his eyes and threw a little, "Then I am the master of the people." ”

(Rules of the game: The owner has more cards than other players, and the population points increase the fastest.) The Seamaster only has more cards than the Horse Owner, but has the "Tricky Trick" technology card. ）

The second roll of the dice determines the order of priority. Xiang Lingsheng can take the first step.

Hua Jiuxi assigned their respective cards to the two of them, and then each placed the "farmer card" in their respective Sanlian City.

(Rules of the game: The Farmer Card is the most basic card that creates initial wealth points and can be exchanged for other resources.) The Triple City is the base of each player, and once the Triple City is lost, it will be declared a failure. ）

Because Xiang Ling went first, she placed the peasant card in the city, and many small people like medieval farmers immediately appeared on the map harvesting grain with sickles in their hands. Stubble after stubble, there were many numbers floating in the sky above the Xiangling Sanlian City.

And many of the cards in her hand began to glow, meaning that the wealth value was allowed to be used.

Five minutes later, Hua Jiuxi began to arrange his own farmers—these little people were planting rice seedlings wearing hats, and because of the large number of people, Hua Jiuxi's wealth value rose rapidly.

After Xiang Ling finished arranging monsters such as basic pottery and iron smelting, he threw out the craftsman card and the merchant card.

(Game Rules: When a player conquers any two players, that player declares the winner.) Players must march to the central sector and occupy it in order to use it as a springboard to attack the rest of the players. In the central area, players can absorb and fuse abilities by capturing monsters from other players. ）

Hua Jiuxi fought steadily, creating some soldier villains similar to Tao Yong, and marched towards the central area while killing wild monsters along the way. And every two squares you lay, you have to build a small city and absorb all the resources you can.

And Xiang Ling gave priority to most of the points to create some Qing talkers in robes. Her city was scarce, but its structure became more complex.

Hua Jiuxi created some large monsters, such as Fei* and other unnamed things, and walked slowly forward.

Xiang Ling built a gun in advance.

"It's a pity that there is no role of horse owner at the moment, and neither of us can form cavalry." Hua Jiuxi said.

"Sir, you've lost." Xiang Ling said.

Hua Jiuxi saw that Xiang Ling had an army of mechanical monsters with a full set of siege equipment in his hands. These things move forward not on the legs, but on the wheels.

(Game Rules: All players have the same marching speed except for the owner's unit.) ）

Hua Jiuxi decided to take the plunge and create a few lightly armed scouts, first attacking and harassing the central district, and then sending a large army to garrison it.

However, the army was immediately wiped out by Xiang Ling's army, and Xiang Ling captured the central district.

Hua Jiuxi was in a panic, and Xiang Ling's army began to attack the city. Fortunately, I have made too many castles, and I will not be able to attack them for a while.

The units of the two sides fought fiercely, and Hua Jiuxi suffered heavy losses, but Hua Jiuxi absorbed several production units and Qing talkers from the other side. He decided to convert it into a production unit similar to that of the enemy by sacrificing a large number of base units.

Xiang Ling destroyed several cities on the edge and wanted to penetrate deep into the hinterland of Huajiuxi—but because there was too much wealth in Huajiuxi City to digest it for the time being, Xiang Ling's army stopped advancing.

Hua Jiuxi spent a large number of points in Sanlian City on the manufacture of artisan units, Hua Jiuxi finally built his own artillery, he equipped these weapons on his trolls, and finally withstood a wave of attacks and began to fight back.

Before the victory was decided, the big ship suddenly stopped.
