The time agreed with Jing Yihong was still early, and the rest of the time I still obediently followed the sea and them to pick up star ghosts, and a lot of things happened during the period, and even other old players in the internal beta came up to rob us of monsters; Quests are precious, it's not easy to get in once, and we're not aggressive, so we've never provoked anyone...... But being silent doesn't mean that anyone can come up and step on it, so they can only be helpless to kill them and send them out of the dungeon.

Two days later, at noon, I rushed to the place agreed yesterday after brushing off a star-picking demon with the sea, and saw Jing Yihong who was there with his hands folding willow branches from a distance, he changed out of his original simple clothes, put on a brand new long shirt, and seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"General, you've been waiting for a long time."

I stepped forward and said apologetically, but he waved his hand: "It's out of the way, just allow me to be a little more nostalgic for the birds and flowers here." ”

As he spoke, his eyes were still reluctant to look around, wanting to greedily imprint this beautiful scenery in his mind.

Perhaps, he had prepared for no return from the beginning.

After reading it a few times, he finally turned his head and sighed helplessly, then looked ahead and took a step: "Let's go." ”

At this time, there is no teleportation point to go to the Ethereal Valley, so you can only teleport to a nearby town through the Imperial City and then go on your own; When I arrived in town, I found a carriage and set out on a journey with Jing Yihong.

"Little brother, I asked you about the things you asked me to ask, he was quite happy, but there were some conditions."

Halfway through, Jing Yihong, who hadn't spoken much all the way, suddenly mentioned my commission that day, and when I heard that there was a door, I hurriedly asked: "That's great!" What are the conditions of the ship's home? ”

Jing Yihong didn't answer me, but smiled lightly, and then lifted the curtain of the car window to look outside: "I'll tell you when I go back............ It's here. ”

When I got out of the carriage, I was surrounded by an endless sea of forests, much denser than I had seen in the original world; The carriage stopped on the halfway road, which is a good place to see the distance; And the entrance to the Ethereal Valley is in the corner of the green mountain in the distance.

The person driving the car explained behind him: "Second master, there are many demons on the road ahead, and the environment is treacherous; The government's dart team will get lost and killed or injured when they enter, and our small business can't afford to hire too strong escorts, so we can only send them here. ”

I looked at the skinny groom, and then at the two level 80 escort NPCs next to me, and sympathized with the coachman's words, their level of NPCs can even put me down several, and it is not enough to even stuff the monster's teeth when I go inside.

Without the carriage escort, the next road was only me and Jing Yihong on foot.

He walked to the side of the road and looked down, then turned back to me and asked, "Little brother, the road is at the end of the road, and there is no direction in front of you; Do you want to circle down the side of the mountain in a step-by-step manner? Or go straight down from here? ”

I went over and looked at the height below, and there must be a drop of more than 200 meters from the canopy of the tallest tree, and I am afraid of heights and I can probably faint on the spot at a glance.

But it didn't hurt me much.

"Let's go down from here, and the juniors will explore the way first."

With that, I jumped down and felt the wind crashing against my face, although I had also played bungee jumping, but it was far less exciting than this rapid fall.

Forty or fifty meters above the ground, I spread my nebula wings to cushion my inertia, and instigated my wings to land firmly on a tree trunk.

Compared with Jing Yihong, my way is much more elegant, his way down is very simple and rude, that is, he pierces the mountain with a spear, and then grabs the handle of the gun and cuts it all the way; landed next to me and didn't forget to praise a few words: "Good boy, not only has the method of resurrecting the dead, but also the technique of taking off the wings!" ”

"Boom la la ......"

In exchange for his chicness, a few pieces of rubble fell on top of my head, smashing my teeth and grinning.

But he did not apologize in the slightest, but stepped sideways on the canopy of the tree, and walked forward quickly.

"General, wait for me!"

I don't have his eaves and walls, and my feet are on the ground on those fluffy tree trunks, like those heroes on TV; If I step on the same place, there may only be sparse leaves, and if I step on the air, it will be a free fall of dozens of meters.

But I didn't dare to go down to the ground, once a monster came to entangle me or something, I would inevitably waste a lot of time because of this, so I could only clumsily jump like a grid, every step had to be observed that there was no danger, and the slow speed was quickly pulled away by Jing Yihong, and the guy didn't know how to wait for me, I don't know when it was gone.

When he arrived at the mouth of the valley, Jing Yihong had not yet entered, but squatted on a tree and looked down on the situation over there.

"General."

I grabbed the trunk of the tree and landed next to him, but I saw that there were many figures gathered at the mouth of the valley.

"What are these? ……”

"The people of the Imperial City." Jing Yihong's tone was calm, but it contained a trace of imperceptible sorrow, as if he was unwilling to meet his former colleagues here.

The background story is very clear, the Imperial City is a team of people, ghosts, and gods who unite to crusade against the Ethereal Valley and want to carve up the source of power in the valley.

But they hadn't entered the valley yet, but were assembled at the mouth of the valley, and there were several people in robes casting spells at the front of the line.

"Could it be that they are here to break the barrier of Ethereal Valley?" I looked at the incomprehensible behavior and was suspicious.

"Nope." Jing Yihong shook his head: "There is no enchantment here, they seem to be casting some kind of spell, a spell similar to a seal. ”

"Seals?"

I whispered this word in astonishment, if Jing Yihong's observation was true, then there might be another situation in the past of Ethereal Valley.

It wasn't that those people in the valley didn't have time to escape, but they were trapped in it by this seal!

But this is too puzzling, they imposed a seal and only sealed themselves in it, and when the time comes, there really is something that cannot be resisted, isn't that a cocoon?

After the sealing spell was cast, the leading generals led the team and began to march towards the valley, and the mighty men and horses gathered in the narrow valley mouth and squeezed into a black oppressive piece.

However, the people who came were not only the Imperial City team, there were also many people in different costumes gathered outside the team, it seemed that the rangers who came here from ****, and they kept their distance and followed after the team all entered.

"Follow up!"

Jing Yihong jumped from the tree and quickly blended into the crowd and approached the valley mouth; I followed him a few meters behind, and the two of them formed a tacit understanding one after the other.

The Ethereal Valley is as beautiful as it was when I first saw it, and as soon as I entered the valley, a comfortable warm current of gentle breeze passed through the crowd; The road becomes narrower and narrower, and gradually shrinks into a trail down the mountain, and people queue up behind the trail, just like the entrance to the attraction during the festival.

Looking down, the sea of clouds obscures the view to the bottom, and people dare not have the idea of taking a shortcut, in case there is an endless abyss below, then jumping down is equivalent to dying in vain.

But after all, I was a person who had been here, so I found a suitable angle and went up directly and dragged Jing Yihong, "General, let's go down from here." ”

He glanced down and looked at me with some suspicion: "Down here?" ……”

"Trust me." I didn't have time to explain to him, I just turned my head and stabbed into the sea of clouds, leaving only an incredible exclamation from the crowd behind me, and then I didn't enter the clouds, leaving only a white halo that I couldn't see.

Piercing through the sea of clouds, the clouds and mist on the body were torn apart by the strong wind, and what came into view was a huge abyss-like round mouth, and on one side of the round mouth was still flowing terrace-like waterfalls.

And my landing place was in the middle of the round mouth, and the pool below was my destination.

【Return to the Destiny House】.

"Poof!"

The huge sound of entering the water was whistling in my ears with gurgling bubbles, I squinted my eyes to adapt my vision to the transition from light to darkness, until my pupils dilated, and the surroundings began to gradually become clearer, and the underwater mansion also bloomed again with its due splendor, and the dazzling lights lingered in the water with a leisurely singing and dancing, which was purer than when I first came, and now the mansion is truly lively and prosperous.

I swam to find the place to enter the house, and passed through the void gate, and before I could get up from it, a long sword fell on my throat.

"Get up."

The person holding the sword commanded me sharply, and I slowly lifted the sharp blade to get up, but I saw a circle of handsome men and women around, the jade tree was in the wind, graceful and charming, and the person holding me hostage was also dressed in a long robe, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his eyes looking at me were particularly sharp.

Standing beside him was a handsome woman wearing a colorful streamer and a phoenix hairpin, the woman was holding a green and jade staff in her hand, and asked coldly, "Who are you?" Did you bring the intruders from outside? ”

Intruder?

I was amazed by their rhetoric, and the only person who could use the word "invasion" to describe others was usually the owner.

Don't...... These people are those peerless masters who were hidden back then??

I looked at their fascinating appearance and temperament, and thought about the bearded demon lord them, the difference in appearance made me unbelievable, and I suddenly had a feeling of genetic decline.

But we still have to give priority to solving the contradictions in front of me, the dozen or so people in front of me are all heaven and earth-level combat power, if one of them is not pleasing to the eye, it will just sprinkle water on my bones and ashes.

"No, no, no! Woman, you misunderstood! I was just a person who passed by here and came in to play, but I didn't expect to encounter the siege of the Imperial City Alliance, and when there was no way to escape, I could only choose to jump into the sea of clouds to escape...... But I never thought that there was a small pool under the sea of clouds, and I didn't expect that there would be such a fairyland-like mansion in this pool of water, so I wanted to come in and hide. ”

"The army of the Imperial City?" When they heard me say this, they also began to murmur a little, and seemed reluctant to believe what I said.

The man holding the sword at my neck shook the blade of the sword, and the cold blade of the sword was close to my neck, so that I had no idea of resisting at all.

"There is no dispute with the world here, and the terrain is dangerous and difficult to find, how can the imperial city find out? How could he lead such an army and horses to the expedition? It must be you, a thief, who are talking nonsense, and see that I will not kill you! ”

As soon as the words fell, this guy directly pushed my sword flat, and the sharp blade instantly cut through my shield, although he was not harmed, but he dragged me to the ground; But the man did not relent, and took a step forward and raised his sword to slash at my head.

"Bell!"

The sound of metal striking shook in front of me, and a golden spear stopped the blade directly, stopping the sharp killing intent in front of my nose.

"General!" I looked at Jing Yihong, who arrived in time, and I was so moved that I almost cried.

But my casual shouting aroused the hatred of these people, and just now the woman took a step back, and her hand began to fly over the seal: "He calls this person a general, and he dares to say that he is not from the imperial city!?" Kill them together! ”

"Who dares?!"

A roar like a dragon and tiger broke through the courtyard, Jing Yihong was full of murderous energy, standing in front of me with blood-red eyes and oblique spears, and his eyebrows were cold at the dozen peerless masters in front of him.

seemed to be aware of Jing Yihong's strength, and the people on the other side did not act rashly, and the two groups of people were so deadlocked that they formed a confrontation.
