Chapter 3: The Lost City
The young man named Gong Tong was stunned for a moment: "What? You said that you have just arrived to report for duty? Could it be that you have ascended from the mortal world to the middle heaven?"
"Yes. Yunhe honestly admitted.
Gong Tong glanced at Yun He in surprise and said, "Brother Yun, but you have just broken through to the Triple Transformation God Realm!"
"It's just a breakthrough to the Triple Transformation God Realm, and it's not the bottom existence when you come to Zhongtian? Besides, even Brother Gong, your realm is higher than mine! What's so strange about this?" Yun He said modestly.
He was telling the truth.
When Gong Tong heard this, he said indignantly: "Brother Yun, you don't know anything! In the past 10,000 years, no one in the mortal world has been able to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm and successfully survive the divine tribulation and ascend to Zhongtian, Brother Yun, you are the first person! You are definitely a genius, Zhongtian should concentrate resources on cultivating you, how can the surnamed Liu casually catch you here as bait!"
Gong Tong glanced at Yunhe again.
Yunhe, who has silver hair and blue eyes, is as beautiful as a fairy, with a pink face and peach cheeks, and his skin is better than snow, even the fairies of Zhongtian are ashamed of themselves.
Even if Gong Tong is a man, seeing such a moving face as Yunhe is a ripple!
Gong Tong sighed: "I understand, it must be the appearance of the jealous little brother surnamed Liu, and the little brother has just arrived in Zhongtian, and he doesn't understand the market here, and he inadvertently offended the surnamed Liu, so he will put you in prison privately." The one surnamed Liu is really a villain!"
Yun He smiled stupidly.
The "surname Liu" that Gong Tong said should be the leader of the willow team.
I did contradict him a few words.
But they told him to call him grandpa! How could he give in?
"By the way, Brother Gong, can you tell me what the situation in Zhongtian is now, and who is that Team Leader Liu?"
"Well, it's a long night anyway, so I'll tell you slowly, and I'll pass the time. ”
Afterwards, Gong Tong briefly stated what he knew to Yunhe.
After the mainstays of the various sects of Zhongtian successively replenished the heavens with their souls, they did succeed in building an enchantment that separated Zhongtian from the Holy Land.
However, this barrier is like a big net, the big net can catch the big fish, but it can't catch the small fish, because it has a lot of loopholes.
Beings of the sixfold or higher of the Celestial God Realm cannot break into this barrier, but creatures of the Celestial Realm of five or less can pass through the loopholes of the barrier and descend to the Middle Heaven.
The Sky Devouring Beast has a group of terrifying minions called the Black Winged Bird Dragon, which is a kind of demon beast whose realm can reach the highest level of the Heavenly God Realm.
The Sky Devouring Beast could not directly invade Zhongtian, so it sent these Black-winged Bird Dragons as the vanguard to invade Zhongtian.
Zhongtian didn't even have a single ancient god of the Transformation God Realm of five or more, and the rest of the people, in the face of the Black-winged Bird Dragon, didn't even have the slightest ability to resist, and all of them became food for the Black-winged Bird Dragon.
Without anyone to lead, the people of Zhongtian are like a plate of loose sand, at best they are just a rabble. Within a few hundred years, the number had plummeted from millions to 500,000. They scurried around like frightened animals, hiding from the prey of the Black-winged Ornithistosaurus.
Thankfully, the invasion of the Black-winged Ornithosaurus brought in a plant seed from an alien world.
The seed took root in an abandoned ancient city, and eventually grew into a towering vine plant, like a green bird's nest, enveloping the entire ancient city.
The people of Zhongtian called this vine the Gulan green vine.
Qulan Ivy can emit a special smell, this smell can make the head of the Black-winged Bird Dragon dizzy, at a loss, lose the direction of flight, the Quran Ivy is the natural enemy of the Black-winged Bird Dragon.
Since then, the ancient city has become the only refuge for the people of Zhongtian. Over the years, all the surviving people in Zhongtian have taken refuge in the ancient city. This ancient city is known as the Lost City. The people of the city call themselves the people of heaven.
However, although hiding in the ancient city could avoid becoming food for the Black-winged Ornithrosaur, the growth of the Guran Green Vine consumed a large amount of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the Lost City, and it could even directly refine and absorb the spiritual energy of the monks who lived in the Lost City.
Ten thousand years have passed, and the heaven and earth aura of the Lost City has descended from the Transformation Realm to the Returning Sky Realm.
Since the plants of the Middle Heaven have the lowest level of the Divine Realm, some high-level plants have also reached the Heavenly God Realm, and the god-level plants are gradually extinct because they are not suitable for the low-level aura environment. In less than a thousand years, the land in the lost city has degenerated into a desert, and not a single grass grows.
If plants can't grow, there will be no herbivores, no herbivores, and naturally no carnivores, and the entire ecological chain of Zhongtian will be broken.
Without the spirit grass, the spirit pill cannot be refined.
Some of the food and elixirs that are left are used less. The resources of the Lost City are becoming more and more scarce, and the lives of the Celestials are becoming more and more difficult.
Fortunately, no matter how low the realm of Zhongtian is, they are still immortals who have reached the realm of transforming gods, and even if they are hungry for a few years, decades, or even hundreds of years, they will not die, but they will just survive in an environment where their aura is insufficient for many years, and they are just tired.
But in the long run, even if they are immortals, sooner or later they will be consumed to death, not to mention that Gulan Qingteng is still absorbing the aura on their bodies all the time.
In order to survive, the people of the ancient city had to venture out of the lost city in search of resources. However, as soon as you get out of the Lost City, you will have to face the ferocious Black-winged Ornithosaurus.
Not everyone who goes on an expedition makes it back alive.
The higher the realm, the higher the strength of the person, the higher the chance of surviving, and the higher the chance of finding food and various resources.
For 10,000 years, among the surviving ancient gods, only five people could reach the Celestial God Realm, and they united to form a new force, replacing the previous sect as the ruler of the Lost City.
The highest position is the lord of the castle, and there is a guard under the lord of the castle. The team was run by a captain, and the team was divided into two groups, each with a leader, and a hundred guards under each group.
This group of new rulers are Meng Feixiong, the city lord of the Lost City, Meng Feina, the city lord's sister, Huang Fuqi, the captain of the city guard, Liu Yingfeng, the leader of the first group, and Huang Ze, the leader of the second group.
Although the city lord's sister has no real power, but her personality has always been willful and rude, but the city lord Meng Feixiong is quite fond of her, as long as it is something she likes, Meng Feixiong will give it to her, in the lost city, her status is like a princess, there are countless suitors, even Huang Fuqi is just one of her subordinates.
The so-called bait refers to the fact that when the people of the city guard go out on an expedition, in order to lure away the living people who are released as food, this practice is quite cruel, but it is undeniable that this does create an opportunity for the people of the city guard to find resources.
In addition, the Celestial People in the Lost City are divided into three classes according to the level of the realm.
Transforming the Divine Realm Triple or below is an inferior Heavenly Min;
Transform the four to six levels of the god realm into medium heavenly people;
Transforming the Divine Realm or above is a superior celestial being.
Expeditions are only held once every fifty years, and the guards will randomly catch a batch of low-class celestials to serve as bait.
Of course, if you have enough wealth, you can also trade your wealth for a chance to live.
Gong Tong explained Zhongtian's current situation in one breath.
Now, Yunhe has a general understanding of Zhongtian.
The young man surnamed Liu he met today was Liu Yingfeng, the leader of the group of the city protection team.
No wonder that the guard kept calling himself an inferior celestial, it turned out that the rank was divided like this!
Yunhe really felt a little sad.
In the mortal world, he was already a god-like existence, but he didn't expect that after crossing the tribulation and ascending to Zhongtian, he became an inferior celestial citizen who was not even as good as livestock, and became the food of the black-winged bird dragon.
What a contrast!
Fortunately, he had the foresight to let the people of his power stay in the Ninefold Temple, otherwise wouldn't they all be captured by the people of the city guards?
Originally, Yunhe could enjoy a leisurely pastoral life with Tang Zixi in the mortal world, but Yunhe did not regret coming to Zhongtian.
He has a kind of unyielding spirit, and the more he is at a disadvantage, the more his fighting spirit is aroused.
He secretly swore in his heart: one day, he would subdue those black-winged bird dragons, break the sick control of the city guards, return all the inferior heavenly people in the lost city to freedom, and restore order in the middle heaven.
"Brother Gong, are all the people who were captured by the city guards to be used as bait trapped here?" Yunhe asked again.
Gong Tong shook his head: "As far as I know, there are at least ten underground cells like this in one group, and at least twenty in the second group. ”
More than 20 cells? Suppose there were ten cages in each cell, and each cage contained four people, wouldn't every fifty years 800 people be used as bait for the Black-winged Ornithosaurus?
It is no wonder that 10,000 years have passed, and there are fewer and fewer ancient gods in Zhongtian. It turned out to be a pit by his own people!
Yunhe sweated.
In other words, Tang Zixi may not be safe now, and may be trapped in other cells. When Yunhe first arrived in Zhongtian, he was not even familiar with the terrain here, so how could he find all twenty cells in one night?
Even if you catch a random guard, you won't be able to read their memories. Because the difference in strength is too great. What's more, with Yunhe's current strength, although he could save his life by fighting against a cultivator of the Sevenfold Transformation Realm or above, it was impossible to easily catch the other party.
"It looks like we'll have to wait until tomorrow to act. Yunhe muttered to himself.
He thought that as soon as the expedition began tomorrow, the guards would inevitably kick out all the people in the cell to serve as bait. If Tang Zixi is in a prison cell, then it will be the best chance to rescue her.
If Tang Zixi wasn't among these people, Yunhe would be able to get out immediately.
Hearing Yun He's words, Gong Tong was obviously startled, and he said with a smile: "Brother Yun, you are afraid and you don't want to escape, right?"
Yun He smiled and said, "Of course, I don't want to be the food of the Black Wing Bird Dragon. ”
Gong Tong said with a worried face: "There is no one here who wants to be food for those things, it's just that your sea of qi has been sealed by the people of the city guard, even if you want to, you can't escape!"
"You mean this seal? It doesn't seem to be working on me. Yun He raised his hand slightly, and the triple aura of the Transformation God Realm suddenly appeared on his body. This breath was only fleeting, but it meant that Yunhe's seal had been lifted!
Gong Tong stared at Yun He dumbfounded, as if looking at a monster: "Brother Yun, how did you do it?"
Yunhe only has the triple level of the Transformation God Realm, and theoretically speaking, it is impossible to lift the seal of the sevenfold guards of the Transformation God Realm!
