Chapter 199: To Crystal City
Since coming to this world, what makes Cheng Shi feel the most incredible is those crystal pillars that can shine and heat, and now there is a place called Crystal City, and it is rich in crystals that can be stored in energy, so Crystal City naturally has the potential to become a breakthrough point to uncover the secrets of this world.
Cheng Shi naturally knew Tony's careful thinking as a businessman, but obviously he didn't mind, as long as he could promote the progress of the investigation, even if he gave all the loot they obtained to the three local natives, it didn't matter.
Tony nodded: "Although anyone can go to the Crystal City, it will be more convenient to dig those crystals with metal tools at hand, we usually used to move stones and smash them, and it is easy to smash those crystals that can be stored in energy, and the value of them will be greatly reduced." ”
Cheng Shi smiled indifferently: "You don't have to worry about the tools, what we have is, can you take us tomorrow?" We will divide the energy storage crystals we get equally. ”
In fact, he originally wanted to say that he would give all the crystals to Tony, but if he said so, although it seemed generous, it was easy to make people alarmed. Besides, they do need some local money to operate in this world.
Tony smiled slightly and looked at the accomplices sitting on either side, and then said, "Yes, but we don't have the tools to dig crystals, so we can only use yours." ”
Cheng Shi understood what Tony meant, and knew that he was worried that his metal tools would be confiscated, so he lied that they didn't have the tools to dig the crystal. But Cheng Shi is not worried about this, just with his invincible watcher blade, not only can he dig the crystal effortlessly, but it is more than enough to do some simple shape processing on the crystal, and this sword can be put away by the information bridge at any time, so naturally he is not worried about being confiscated.
"No problem, we have the tools, you are only responsible for leading the way, and we can give you half of the crystals when the time comes." Cheng Shi said frankly.
Tony smiled comfortably: "Okay, we'll set off early tomorrow morning, the Crystal City is a bit far away, you need to ride a horse to get there, the horses have to be rented, I will arrange it tonight." ”
Cheng Shi nodded and smiled very sincerely.
While the group was still eating, Tony asked Rorty to help Cheng Shi and the five arrange accommodation, so now after they finished eating, they didn't need to go through the procedures for opening the room.
Although Oldman and Barbara were a little suspicious that the three of Tony might run away with the metal pliers Cheng Shi gave them, Cheng Shi thought that he had promised them enough benefits, and Crystal City didn't sound like a dangerous place, so they had no reason to give up the temptation to share half of the energy storage crystal. After listening to Cheng Shi's explanation, the two didn't say anything more.
In this wonderful underground world, people no longer have to think about light when building houses, as long as there are open windows in the room, then the sunlight can be poured into the house.
The early morning sun shines parallel to everyone's room through the window, Cheng Shi rubbed his eyes, subconsciously thought that he forgot to turn off the lights yesterday, he shook his head vigorously, and then got up and walked to the window, he saw that this strange world had a similar scenery to the earth in the morning, and the leaves of an unknown tree outside the window were stained with dewdrops, and it looked closely, some stems and leaves were growing from its branches. Wisps of smoke were already rising from the sky above the houses in the distance, and it was a quiet rural morning.
"What a wonderful breakfast!" Cheng Shi sighed.
After a light wash
He was about to go downstairs for breakfast, and as soon as he opened the door, he ran into Yang Yang and North in the corridor, so the three of them went downstairs together.
"You're still early, thank you for your hard work." Cheng Shi said while waving his hand to greet the three Tony downstairs.
Tony just smiled and nodded without speaking, while Bruce next to him said, "Yesterday we arranged all the horses overnight, and now they are outside the tavern, under the care of the stables. ”
Cheng Shi looked at Bruce and smiled with satisfaction, and then began to eat breakfast.
After a brief breakfast, the group walked out of the tavern.
"Damn, you call this a horse?" Cheng Shi was surprised.
Barbara and Yang Yang were also stunned when they saw the huge creature in front of them that was suspected to be a camel, and although North had not seen horses on Earth with her own eyes, she had seen them on TV, so she was also a little shocked at the moment. Oldman, on the other hand, didn't think the mounts were huge, and he wondered if the creatures could carry him.
Tony was stunned: "What's wrong?" Don't your horses look like this? ”
Cheng Shi grinned, thinking that riding this creature that seemed to be a camel was much safer than riding a horse, so he said with a smile: "It's about the same, this shouldn't be difficult to ride, right?" ”
Hearing this, Rorty leaned sideways and mounted the horse beside her, and walked forward for a short while, then turned back and shouted at Cheng Shi, "They are very docile, and you will easily adapt to them." ”
"Brother, can't we really drive over?" North gently shook Cheng Shi's right arm and muttered.
"Brother also wants to drive, but driving will cause trouble, horseback riding is very fun, you can experience it." Cheng Shi looked at the mermaid sister and comforted softly.
Although Yang Yang has never ridden a horse or a camel before, in her worldview, camels are very docile animals and a desert boat that can give people a sense of security, at least that's what is said in the animal world program on TV. So when she saw this kind of creature with two humps on its back, very much like a camel, it could very arouse her to gallop on her horse, so she chose a white-haired horse and rode it.
"Drive!" Yang Yang pinched the horse's belly between his legs and shouted very imposingly.
Then she really began to gallop on horseback, and when the four Cheng Shi in the back saw that the horse in front of them looked very similar to a camel, far less docile than the camels on the earth, Bruce saw that the situation was not right, and without waiting for Cheng Shi to speak, he jumped on the back of the horse and chased in the direction of Yangyang, Rorty was worried that Bruce alone could not control the horse, so he also followed.
Although Cheng Shi was stunned, he knew that it was impossible for this domesticated animal to hurt the big bird, so he also smiled dryly: "I didn't expect your horses here to be quite fierce. ”
Tony grinned: "That white horse is the youngest, and naturally has a bigger temper, I saw that your friend chose that horse, and thought she had a lot of experience in horseback riding, so I didn't say anything just now." ”
Cheng Shi touched his forehead: "It's okay, she has a good sense of balance, and she will be able to adapt to it in a while." ”
It's not that Barbara doesn't like horseback riding, it's just that she thinks she can fly and there is no need to ride a horse, but in this other world, it's not convenient for her supernatural skills to show casually, so she can only ride on horseback obediently.
North was afraid of riding, so Cheng Shi asked Tony to choose a docile horse for her, and after she got on the horse with trepidation, Tony led the horse and took her for a short walk, and she found that it was okay
With feelings, I gladly accepted it.
Oldman chose one of the strongest horses he could be, and when he got on it, it was four words: tall and big.
When Cheng Shi was in junior high school, he had followed his parents to the desert and grassland, and rode horses and camels, so he behaved very casually, and just found a horse that looked pleasing to the eye and rode it.
When everyone was ready, they rode their horses to Crystal City.
After the group of horses left the town, they finally met Yangyang, who was hanging on horseback at the moment.
"Yo, Yangyang, are you a sleeper? Or is it a ticket? Cheng Shi quipped.
Hearing this, Yang Yang glanced up weakly: "Landlord, I'm so dizzy, this is not a camel." ”
Barbara cut off, "It's not a camel in the first place. ”
Oldman just smirked and didn't speak, but the little mermaid looked surprised: "Wow...... How else can it be? ”
Cheng Shi turned his head and glanced at the mermaid sister: "What do you want to do?" ”
North smiled strangely, then turned around and hung on the horse's back, and several people around him instantly stared at each other.
"Yikes! If I knew this, I wouldn't be afraid. The little mermaid twisted her head and stuck out her tongue at Cheng Shi.
"Are you sure it's more comfortable?" Barbara's face was puzzled.
North nodded with particular sincerity: "Not only is it comfortable, but it also feels safe." ”
The crowd was speechless.
Out of the town, there is a vast prairie outside, for those who are good at horseback riding, you can really ride a horse here, as long as you don't make a mistake in the general direction, it doesn't hurt to run boldly and openly.
Everyone galloped on the grassland for a while, Cheng Shi turned his head and looked back, the town they set off from had disappeared from sight, although there were occasionally some strangers passing by on horseback, but most of them were hurrying by, as if they were in a hurry, and there was really no team like Cheng Shi and a few people along the way, a little similar to a tour group.
The boundless green earth continues to spread out wantonly in everyone's field of vision, and when you look up, the sky is full of clouds and clouds, and occasionally a cool breeze blows on your face, which makes people feel particularly comfortable.
"Big one, are you okay? The ride is quite stable. Cheng Shi saw that the giant was sitting on horseback and always holding his waist straight, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like he was riding a horse for the first time, so he asked with a smile.
Oldman smacked his lips: "This horse is still a little small for me, and I don't dare to ride it hard, for fear that it won't move me." ”
Cheng Shi was stunned, thinking to himself that you were sitting on horseback with both feet off the ground, isn't it still a hard ride?
"Are both of them asleep?" Barbara turned her head to look at Cheng Shi and asked.
Cheng Shi immediately looked left and right, and found that Yang Yang and North, who had been hanging on horseback, had stopped moving, sleeping like dead people.
"I'll go, someone has to watch this, and no one will know if it falls off for a while." Cheng Shi said and quickly stopped and let everyone go first.
Seeing this, Tony came over: "It's okay, you just go normally, we are watching them, don't worry, there are so many of us, it is impossible to lose two big living people." ”
Cheng Shi smiled and nodded, and everyone continued to hurry.
After the group rode their horses for more than three hours, of course, the two underage girls could only be regarded as galloping on their horses, seeing that it was already time for lunch, but there was still a vast prairie around, and there was no place to stay.
