Li Yiheng said bluntly: "City Lord, you must have something to hide from us at noon, do you know some inside stories?"

The city lord sighed, his wrinkles soothed a lot, and said: "Our capital lightning city, since the sudden storm ten years ago, some of the residents in the city have moved to other places, I and other city lords were summoned by the domain king to go to lightning city, and saw that endless black clouds were accumulating in the sky above the city, and the whole city was in darkness, and very little sunlight penetrated through, seeing that the domain king was no longer the same as before, his temper became extremely irritable", speaking of this, the city lord shook his head regretfully, " I feel as if the Domain King is controlled by some mysterious force, driving him to do something he didn't want to do, the Domain King asked us to go back and find out if there are any strange people and things in various places, and we can't disobey it, so we have to go back to our respective cities and strengthen our precautions, that's all I know, as for the strange transformation people you described, this is the first time I've heard of it. ”

The more Li Yiheng thought about it, the more excited he felt, and asked the city lord what was going on with the dead tree made of black gold?

The city lord thought for a while before saying, "That was also ten years ago, and because the place where it is located is often thundered and lightning, it is classified as a forbidden area by me, and no one in the city can approach it. ”

"Ten years ago, it was related to the thunderstorm cloud that suddenly appeared over Lightning City, and I think it was necessary to find out which capable person was going to Lightning City in the open mountain and sea passage. Li Yiheng thought about the possible connection between them, and couldn't wait to leave now.

The city lord returned to the issue of Shi Xiong's arrest, he also felt that it had a lot to do with the country, and even the domain king was involved, otherwise the other city lords who were guarding the city reported the matter to the domain king earlier, and the domain king attached great importance to it on the surface, but he did not take action to investigate the reason, and the problem was thrown back to the defending cities to solve.

"Now that we know the possible clues, let's leave tomorrow and go to Lightning City, maybe we can rescue the stone bear. Rainbow said eagerly.

The city lord hesitated slightly, the army could not be nameless, otherwise it would be regarded as a rebellion by the domain king, and he could only send a few people to investigate, but if he encountered the iron ring monster again, there were no strong enough soldiers in the city to stop it, and it was in vain that he sacrificed, and it was these concerns that the city lord did not act for a long time.

Li Yiheng saw the scruples of the city lord, patted his chest, and assured the city lord: "Don't worry, let me go with you, there are just some things I want to figure out." ”

Diana also agreed, she couldn't touch Rainbow, who had just made a good sister, and went on an adventure alone, Rainbow also excitedly hugged Diana and shouted: "Great, great, with you guys definitely being able to find out." ”

The city lord patted Li Yiheng's shoulder meaningfully and said, "You have a heart, whether you can succeed or not, you are the benefactors of our small mountain city." ”

"Okay, that's it, let's go back and prepare now, rest well today, and leave tomorrow, the sooner the better. Li Yiheng couldn't wait to say goodbye to the city lord and went back to the tavern, and his heart was difficult to calm down along the way: if he could find out the secret of the two black and gold dead trees, maybe the future adventure would be much easier.

This night Tianhong and Diana stayed in the room of the tavern together, did not go home, the two did not know what to do in the house, from time to time laughter came into Li Yiheng's room, but Li Yiheng fell asleep to death, this day he almost exhausted his physical strength.

The next day, Li Yiheng was woken up early by a knock on the door, and Diana and Tianhong entered the house carrying something they didn't know, covered with a layer of sheets.

Diana saw that Xiao Ji was still sleeping, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled knowingly, lifted the sheet, revealing a saddle-like cloth woven chair inside, without asking, Li Yiheng guessed that this was for Xiao Ji.

"In view of the fact that Xiao Ji's flight was too violent yesterday, we prepared this to ensure our safety. Diana said proudly, holding her chin up.

"So you've been tinkering with this at night, but why are there only two seats?" asked Li Yiheng, looking at the chair on the ground in surprise.

"yes, we don't have enough time, so we can only make two positions, so it's for our safety. Diana gestured to herself and Rainbow.

It turned out that Li Yiheng was not taken into account at all, Li Yiheng was stunned at first, although he knew that this was prepared for him, but he didn't expect them to say it so directly, so he folded his arms around his chest and pretended to think deeply: "I have no opinion, it depends on whether Xiao Ji agrees or not." ”

"Let's go to the city lord first, and then we will leave, we will prepare everything for food and clothing on the road. Diana said as she picked up the still confused little trumpet, followed Rainbow out of the room, and turned around and said, "Remember to bring the saddle with you." ”

Li Yiheng smiled bitterly, grabbed the seat with one hand and followed, the city lord had already been waiting for them in the open stone slab in front of the house, as usual, still alone.

The city lord didn't say too much, he believed that Li Yiheng could bring them back safely, after Xiao Ji turned into the form of Kunpeng, he looked at the saddle woven by Diana and Rainbow, and couldn't cry or laugh, but in view of the fact that Diana proposed it, although he was extremely reluctant, he agreed very happily, Li Yiheng helped fix the saddle on Xiao Xiao's back, and the duffel bag was also tied to the back of the saddle, which happened to be where Li Yiheng often sits, and now he can only hold the luggage as a handrail.

The four of them said goodbye to the city lord, Xiao Ji had recovered his strength after Diana's treatment and a night's rest, and flew up in the direction of Lightning City, and when he flew over the city wall, the soldiers who defended the city without knowing the truth waved and shouted, as if they were saying goodbye to Li Yiheng.

Choosing the air route has Li Yiheng's concerns, it is not safe on land, there are too many unpredictable, if it is like yesterday, when you meet those three people, you are afraid that you will be beaten back to the mountain city, and the high altitude is the main battlefield of Xiaojing, and you can go directly to Lightning City faster.

But Tiangong seemed to deliberately want to do something with Li Yiheng, when flying through the distressed canyon, he was lucky not to meet the three ringed monsters, but soon after flying through the canyon, he came to a swamp above the ground, Li Yiheng looked down on the ground, and the endless patches of ponds and marshes were messily pasted on the ground, the sparse aquatic plants swayed in the wind, and the gases produced by the decaying creatures at the bottom of the water turned into water bubbles and exploded on the surface of the water, as if the pool of water was about to boil;

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a dazzling blue light pierced the dim sky, and the originally slightly undulating water surface immediately seemed to be full of life, and the water streaks appeared on the water surface, very similar to the texture of the fish's spine crossing the water.

"Is there still fish living in this swamp? No, the water here has very low oxygen content, and it is impossible for fish to survive here. Li Yiheng thought about it, and motioned for Xiao Xiaofei to fly lower, which looked clear and clear.

The thin mist over the swamp enveloped the group, Xiao Ji tried his best to flap his wings, and the whirlwind blew up failed to blow the mist away, Li Yiheng tried to poke his head down, almost half of his body stretched out, Diana reminded him: "Be careful to fall down again." ”

Li Yiheng didn't seem to hear it, and looked at the mire below, trying to find the truth about the ripples.

In this water vapor, Li Yiheng gradually felt dizzy, and there was a slight "zizi" sound, he thought that it might be that the biogas here is too heavy and the oxygen content is low, but Tianhong and Xiao Ji are keenly aware of the abnormality here, and a large amount of electric charge is accumulating in this water vapor. The sound is made when the current is generated, and when Xiao Ji is about to pull up, out of this methane layer, there are crackling sounds around him, everyone suddenly feels numb all over the body, difficulty breathing, Xiao Ji realized the danger, suddenly turned his head upwards and wanted to fly away, Li Yiheng was dizzy, and his reaction became sluggish, but his hands did not grasp steadily, and he fell off Xiao Ji's back, because he was too close to the ground, although Xiao Ji reacted quickly, and when he looked back, Li Yiheng had fallen into a pool of mud, splashing messy water.
