Chapter 11: The Island of the Sky
"Incredible......" Xu Zhinian's tone was filled with a hint of disbelief, and his dark pupils shrank faintly with excitement. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In front of them, there was indeed a city, about the size of Jinling, which was nothing surprising, but above the center of the city, there was an island floating in the sky.
The island is not large, only a quarter the size of the city, but it floats hundreds of meters in the air, peerless and arrogant, like the sacred island inhabited by the gods in the mythology of the old days. In the human world that has been devastated by the demon clan for a long time, such a huge project is indeed unimaginable.
"Hehe...... Chen Wen looked at Xu Zhinian with a shocked face, and said with a teasing laugh, "Everyone is similar to you when they see the sect for the first time, even Ji Qiuyuan's embryo killing was shocked back then. ”
After speaking, he walked forward: "Let's go to the base city, and I'll take you to the island after eating later." ”
Xu Zhinian ignored Chen Wen, who was far away, and stood at the station in a daze, with infinite waves in his heart.
This is the holy land of the demon slayer of the whole continent, the legendary place that has helped the Human Federation resist the demon clan for so many years, the Spirit Gate!
"I'm really looking forward to it." The corners of the boy's mouth rose slightly, his young and immature face was filled with a thirst for the future, and the sun shone on his body, pulling out a long shadow.
At this moment, Xu Zhinian didn't know that from now on, his whole life would be intertwined with the floating island in front of him, and he would not be able to separate until the war on the mainland ended for many years. All he knew was that he was about to have a new life, an opportunity that would change his life and sustain his beliefs.
"It's really a new life......" In a restaurant in Lingmen Base City, Xu Zhinian sighed silently while chewing a large piece of meat in his mouth. Lingmen is located in the northern part of the Federation, so most of the dishes in the restaurant meet the bold requirements of the Northeast people of the Federation, and are suitable for eating large pieces, but Xu Zhinian, who grew up in Jinling since he was a child, is sad in his heart at this moment, he has never chewed a piece of meat until now.
"You southerners are squeamish, and you baby eats meat so hard." Thinking of the words that the restaurant owner teased him before, Xu Zhinian couldn't help but want to complain, it's not that he is squeamish, he really hasn't eaten such a piece of meat when he grows so big.
"I'm full." Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, looking at Chen Wen who was feasting, Xu Zhinian felt that he needed to think about it now, if the dishes on the island were so "heroic", he was afraid that he would starve to death first.
Chen Wen said slurred while eating: "Don't worry, there will be something to suit your appetite when you arrive on the island in the evening." ”
More than half an hour passed like this, and finally with Chen Wen's satisfied burp, Xu Zhinian ended his first meal in Lingmen, and many years later, even when he had adapted to the northern cuisine for various reasons, he was still obsessed with eating in Lingmen Base City.
"This Xu Ji barbecue is the most suitable restaurant for you southerners after I have carefully selected it." Out of the restaurant, Chen Wen looked at Xu Zhinian with emotion, "Five hundred years ago, I was one with you." ”
Silently glanced at the words "Xu Ji Barbecue" on the antique plaque at the door of the store, Xu Zhinian decided not to come to this place in the future, no, it should be that he will not come to this city to eat in the future.
"Let's go, let's go, I'll take you to the island." Without continuing to argue, Chen Wen took Xu Zhinian and walked towards the airport on the side.
"This guy is obviously picking a nearby restaurant." couldn't help but complain softly, Xu Zhinian moved his sour mouth and sighed deeply.
"It's coming, it's coming."
……
Outside a special tarmac at Lingmen Airport, Chen Wen, who had finished negotiating, turned to look at Xu Zhinian: "You board the plane to the island first, and then someone will be responsible for receiving you, I still have some small things to deal with, see you in the evening." ”
Xu Zhinian nodded, looked at the gray-green military helicopter in front of him, sighed in his heart the power of the Lingmen, and stepped into the cabin.
The hatch closed slowly, and the propellers rubbed against the air, making a "buzzing" roar.
The feeling of being overweight is only a moment's work, a moment of comfort is fleeting, and the feeling of weightlessness hits like a tide.
"Here we are." The pilot was a sturdy adult man, and after stopping the helicopter steadily, he turned his head to look at Xu Zhinian and said, "Baby, I see that you are also a young man with extraordinary talents, and you will study hard when you go to Lingmen in the future, and if you have one more demon slayer in Lingmen, the casualties of the brothers on the front line will be less." After speaking, there was still a trace of remembrance on his face.
"I will." Xu Zhinian looked at the federal soldier in front of him, nodded solemnly, and then opened the hatch and stepped out of the helicopter.
At this time, the pilot said to Xu Zhinian with a strange look on his face as if he remembered something: "Although I don't know why Young Master Chen Wen did this, I still have to tell you to be careful after going to the island." ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Xu Zhinian, who was about to take a step, stopped suddenly, "What do you mean?" ”
"Poof-" The air jet was sprayed, and the helicopter came and roared away.
Looking at the helicopter heading away, Xu Zhinian looked sad, and he suddenly found that the people who came out of here didn't seem to like it very much.
"What's wrong." Shaking his head, Xu Zhinian couldn't help but think about the deep meaning of the pilot's words: "Be careful? ”
"Be careful of what...... You can make it clear, big brother......" After thinking for a few days to no avail, Xu Zhinian let out a sigh of self-abandonment, "I don't want to think about it." ”
Turned around and walked out of the tarmac.
As soon as he went out, he was shocked by the sight in front of him.
What catches the eye is a vast primeval forest, so dense that not even the sun shines much.
"Is this really an island?" Xu Zhinian felt that he needed to calm down, he thought that the floating island was the same as a modern city, but he didn't expect the reality to be like this, "Is it an island with primeval forests?" ”
At the same time in the Lingmen Base City, Chen Wen, who was walking on the road, took out his watch as if he suddenly remembered something, and the original timing interface was suddenly replaced by an uncle with a beard.
"What are you looking for?" The man didn't have a good breath and said, "I don't know that your father and I have been impeached by the parliament recently, it's okay for Lao Tzu to hang up." As he spoke, he reached for his watch.
"Don't don't don't daddy, ask you something." Chen Wen hurriedly said, "When did this summer's hunting activities start?" ”
"It was opened yesterday! Isn't that an island tradition? The man looked at Chen Wen and froze for a while, "Wasting Lao Tzu's time just to ask this?" ”
"No...... Chen Wen cried with a sad face, "I seem to have mistaken Xu Zhinian's boarding gate, and he seems to be on a flight from the hunting area." ”
After Chen Wen finished the second half of the sentence, the father and son were strangely silent for a moment at the same time.
"This time I went back to the island, Lao Tzu didn't care about you, ten days and half a month, not your father." A man's roar came from the silence, "Stinky boy, I'm going to get you in trouble." ”
With that, the man ended the call.
"Hey, hey, don't let him know I did it." On the street, pedestrians who came and went saw such a loud shouting hip-hop young man with a toad glass, and they all sighed that the world is changing and the people's hearts are not ancient.
On the other side of the modern island.
"Let the people from the executive department send a team to find Xu Zhinian, you must be fast." Chen Xuangan really wants to cry without tears at the moment, he was still impeached by the Federal Assembly because of the Kunpeng flooding of Jinling, and now his son has left the future actor in the dangerous hunting area, "What a cheat!" ”
"Yes, Tianwang Chen."
The depths of the primeval forest are very shady, not as hot as outside, and have a fresh smell close to nature.
Xu Zhinian looked at the forest and didn't know how to describe his feelings.
He had wandered outside for a long time, but had not found any other exit, so he had no choice but to follow the only junction all the way to the interior of the forest.
"What about the reception you said you would like to receive me?" Xu Zhinian took a breath, "I can't see a single figure." He estimated that he had walked for almost a kilometer, and it was still a tree except for the tree.
"But there's a lot of variety here." Seeing a small tree that was shorter than himself, Xu Zhinian sat cross-legged on the ground and rested, and began to study the information of the tree in front of him by the way. The people of the Lingmen are very careful, and they have selected a few of each tree and set up a nameplate.
Name: Toon
Age: 5 years old
Introduction: A special plant with a fragrance, its aroma can drive away some weak demons.
Nameplate date: March 14, 2195
The black nameplate has such a short four-line written in gilt handwriting.
"Huh? Is there such a tree? Xu Zhinian became interested for a while, thinking that the vegetation in this forest seemed to be quite interesting.
Just as he was about to take advantage of this leisure time to appreciate the great hand of the Spirit Gate, the earth suddenly trembled.
"What's going on? Don't tell me there will be earthquakes on artificial islands. Xu Zhinian found a stout old apricot tree and barely managed to maintain his balance.
The earth trembled uncontrollably as if it had been ravaged by something, and many newborn trees were shaken to the point that they had fallen their tender new leaves, and the little toon that Xu Zhinian had just watched was among them.
"Roar-" Without waiting for Xu Zhinian to react, a wanton roar sounded in the direction from which the vibration came.
Xu Zhinian's expression suddenly became very exciting, and he would not forget this kind of voice that killed him - the iconic roar of the "Demon Clan".
"Hell, could it be that the Spirit Gate has been invaded by the Demon Clan? How could there be a demon clan? Xu Zhinian scolded secretly, but then thought about it, "Impossible, even if there is an invasion of the demon clan, there should be an alarm?" ”
Xu Zhinian didn't want to think about it too much, and there was an even stronger vibration, and he could clearly feel that the demon clan was constantly approaching him: "No matter how much, hide first." ”
Saying that, Xu Zhinian found a lush bush and hid it, only revealing two eyes to observe the surrounding situation, after all, he had only just awakened the spirit seed, and he was only a little more durable than ordinary people in dealing with the demon clan.
Quietly hiding in the bushes, Xu Zhinian cautiously looked at the situation outside.
"Roar...... Roar ......"
The demon ran fast, and came running wildly with a cloud of dust.
"It's so big, it's ......" Xu Zhinian couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice the moment he saw the demon clan.
