Chapter Seven: Mangyuan
When he climbed out of the river, he also carried two piranhas on his legs, which were biting at the flesh. Qing Chi grinned a little in pain, and used a knife to cut the piranha while bandaging his wounds. In one bite, he almost bit off a third of her blood. The piranhas here are ferocious, but luckily she's fast.
The body is already soaked, the weather here is foggy, and if you don't warm up, you will definitely catch a cold. "Destiny" is a game that simulates the real world, and the characters will also have a variety of sick and poisoned reactions, once these appear, the attributes will be greatly reduced, and you can only go to the city to find a doctor for treatment.
On the shore are dense reeds, which block the way and are almost taller than a man. Lift your head, the reeds can even cover the sky. Qing Chi laboriously walked through it, found a dry spot, lit a fire, and by the way, removed the piranha's teeth, and put its meat on the rack to roast.
Eve says it's a place to step back in time. In other words, behind the Void Gate, could it be the Heavenly Mandate Continent hundreds of years ago? No, it should be even earlier, when the Demon King was not born and the four continents were not separated.
According to the environment, the place where I am has distinct seasons, neither cold nor hot, should still be the eastern continent. Qing Chi frowned and took out a roll of parchment maps from his backpack. Here's a map of the four continents she bought, just in case. Spreading out the map and making a comparison with the place he roughly knew, Qing Chi couldn't help but sigh. I see, the place where she is currently located is the Black Water Swamp of the Eastern Continent, many years ago, this place was called White Water Swamp, which is really a strange change.
It soon became dark. Qing Chi used some reeds to make a mattress, accompanied by a small bonfire, and lay quietly on the ground to keep warm. When you turn on the voice system, you can only see that your friends are online, but you can't contact them. The system displays: Not in the same area. Fortunately, this is just a game after all, and many things cannot be explained logically. Qing Chi opened the portable mailbox system, wrote a letter with a quill, dictated his situation, and then spent a few gold coins, and the system automatically sent the mail to the mailbox of Yuan Ming and Qing.
In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard the sound of thunder in the sky. Qing Chi immediately opened his eyes, and a red light shot out from the sky. Flying in from afar, it was a red dragon! The dragon had huge wings, a sinuous tail with spikes at the end, and red scales. The other is the Brontosaurus. The two sides began to entangle and bite each other. The brontosaurus demonstratively spat out a bolt of lightning, and the entire mountain in the distance was instantly exploded.
The red dragon was furious, opened its huge mouth, and spewed a long flame in the sky, and in an instant, a fire ignited within a radius of a hundred miles. The wildfire rose with the wind and soon blew into the reeds.
Qing Chi, who reacted quickly in his mind, immediately got up, summoned a dark cloud and began to spread his feet with all his strength and run wildly. In such a situation, she didn't dare to summon Xiaobai. First, the dragon's deterrent power to the phoenix is still there, and second, the target in the sky will be more conspicuous, if it attracts the dragon's attention, I'm afraid she will be finished immediately. Although these two dragons were in the sky, their level could not be clearly distinguished, but they were definitely more powerful than the plague dragons that had appeared before. With this terrifying attack strength, it is better to go ahead.
At the same time, a group of wild monsters, giant frogs, lizards, poisonous snakes, etc., were startled in the reeds, and they quickly jumped behind Qing Chi. More and more red dots appeared on the minimap, and the wild monsters at this time no longer had time to take care of Qing Chi, an alien human, under the fear of Long Wei, but ran for their lives.
Qing Chi recalled opening the map and comparing it, and decided to go to the city to hide. I don't know if the nearest city of Thorns still existed in the Mandate of Heaven continent hundreds of years ago, but overall, the city is still much safer. When Qing Chi came out of the reeds, he found that the low swamp of the later generations was now on top of the high mountain.
Surrounded by mountain peaks, it resembles a large basin with trees in front of it. The tall trees obscured the sky and the sun, and when I looked up, the starlight in the early morning had faded, and the horizon appeared in the distance. As far as the eye can see, under the high mountain, there seem to be a few windmills not far away, and if you go in that direction, you will find the City of Thorns.
With good bounce power, Qingchi quickly climbed up the tree and spread his glider. Flying down the mountain with the fierce wind, when he was close to the ground, he made sure that he had left the sight of the dragon clan, and then carefully summoned Xiaobai, and the fog of the map gradually dispersed, and two words appeared on the big map: Mangyuan. It turns out that in the past, the four continents were called the Far North, the Mangyuan, the West Sea and the South Abyss.
On the plain, in the flattest and fertile place, a city has been erected, and around the city are small towns. The city made of black rock and the town built around it are like a quaint thorn flower, which does not have the style of a lively town in later generations, but looks tall and solemn. Before the rise of Blackstone Town and Iron Helmet City, it became a city center. Just when Qing Chi rode Xiao Bai and flew low, about to land outside the Thorn City, she suddenly saw the guards at the city gate hurriedly pointing at her, and then began to kneel down and pray reverently, saying words that Qing Chi did not understand. At this point, the system prompts: "Automatically switched to Old World for you." You have learned Old World. β
"Oh! See, what is that, is it human? How could she ride a phoenix! β
"You must have forgotten the prophecy of the astrologers! He has prophesied that the Divine Messenger will come to our rescue! β
"Oh, yes! I think it must have been an oracle sent by the Nine Holy Spirits to save us! Long live the Divine Messenger! β
The people of the city began to flock out, and when they saw Qingchi, they knelt down in unison, chanting words and praying. Suddenly, someone yelled loudly, "Hey, get out of the way!" You lowly people, slaves! Only the noble lord of the castle can welcome the oracle! β
The crowd screamed, crowded, and gave way. A luxurious carriage drove towards him, and the aristocratic man wearing a white veil on the horse, wearing a feather on his head, immediately dismounted when he saw Qing Chi, knelt down on one knee, raised his hands, and looked humble: "Oh! Look, this is an oracle sent by the Nine Holy Spirits! When I used to hear them talk about oracles, I even thought it was a lie, oh, what a blind man. May you, noble, good, and beautiful messenger, listen to me, I am Zahama, Lord of the city, your most pious servant. β
Qing Chi was stunned on the spot, a little crying and laughing. Not surprisingly, these people were worshipping her, and they were treating her as an oracle. She had forgotten that the phoenix had never been tamed in the past, and that it was an existence with invincible power like the dragons. It's just that listening to the prophecy of the guards, what is going on?
"Oh, great oracle, please save us!" Suddenly, a woman with a yellow and thin face, a full face of Wu Qing, and a child in her arms rushed out of the crowd. Her trembling legs showed that she had exhausted her strength, "I managed to escape, please save us!" Zahama looked back, ashamed and angry: "Who let this woman out!" Quick, pull it down, don't dirty the eyes of the oracle! β
As soon as Qing Chi wanted to say something, a group of guards surrounded her, solemnly protecting her, and immediately someone dragged the woman down, and the woman who was pulled by her hair cried and shouted, "Noβthe oracle came to save the Black Death, not to your dreams of wealth!" The Divine Messenger won't let you get your wish! β
The city lord led the way in front of him with a high spirit, and Qing Chi, who was surrounded by guards, turned back sharply.
There was a "click", blood splattered, and the woman's head slowly rolled to the ground, and the sound stopped abruptly.
