Chapter 889: Sky City
,!
From the mouth of the mourning leopard, Zhou Sen had a general understanding of the relationship between the Sky City and the Sky City and the Outer City.
The inhabitants of Sky City believe that the Outer City is not a barracks, of course, the barracks are indeed barracks, but they are barracks stationed to guard the prisoners, and the inhabitants of the Outer City are the descendants of the prisoners.
To the inhabitants of Sky City, they are the true descendants of the Djinn God.
Of course, the Outer City does not think so, and for thousands of years, the Outer City and the Sky City have had skirmishes almost every once in a while for the sake of orthodoxy.
In general, the inhabitants of Sky City have a strong sense of superiority and honor, and a large part of them even disdain to conquer the Outer City, believing that they are lowly criminals, and it is a shame to be in company with them.
In this desolate meteorite belt, there are only the Outer City and the Sky City, however, the communication between the two is very rare, and it is almost impossible for the inhabitants of the Sky City to set foot in the Outer City, and the residents of the Outer City, except for some businessmen, rarely set foot on the territory of the Sky City.
When it comes to business, the two sides are completely unilateral, because it is impossible for the merchants of Sky City to set foot on the territory of the outer city, of course, this does not affect the economic exchanges between the two sides.
Usually, the merchants of the Outer City will bring their goods to the Sky Castle, and then process the goods through the merchants of the Sky Castle, and bring back the goods to the Outer City, and they are also the merchants who handle the Sky Castle.
In short, the merchants of the outer city will not easily contact the residents of the sky city, because that kind of naked discrimination is an unbearable humiliation......
……
As they hurried, the two observed the land of Sky Castle, trying to find traces of mass herbivores passing by.
Zhou Sen had been active in the Xiongnu steppe, and he had a deep knowledge of tracking, but he did not find any clues left by herbivores.
It seems that they are not keeping up with the herbivores.
Didn't the herbivores go to the city in the sky?
This idea was immediately shattered by the mourning leopard, and the reason for the mourning leopard was simple, if the herbivores did not have a common goal, they would never gather on a large scale, because, in the meteorite belt, except for the city outside the transformation and the city in the sky, there is no place that can support millions of herbivores.
The herbivores did not disperse and ran in the direction of the city in the sky, and the goal was already obvious.
Zhou Sen agreed with the idea of the lost leopard, but he did not understand why he lost the trace of the herbivore, but the lost leopard quickly gave an answer.
The answer is also very simple.
Because the domain of the Sky City is more than ten times larger than that of the Outer City, the population is large, the area is rich, and there are too many directions that herbivores can attack, perhaps, they are approaching the Sky City in the other direction along the cliffs of the Heavenly River......
……
Just when Zhou Sen and the mourning leopard were chatting all the way, Xiao Ash and Jin Diao actually got together, what made Zhou Sen vomit blood was that Jin Diao actually let Xiao Ash ride on it, which was a treatment that Zhou Sen didn't enjoy!
A withered squirrel had a lot of fun.
Zhou Sen found that the play of the two beasts was not a simple play, they seemed to be practicing some combat coordination skills, for example, when the sea of clouds was flying on the ground, Xiao Ash suddenly jumped on the back of the gold wither, and sometimes, Xiao Ash jumped in the air, and the sea of clouds and gold withered responded.
From the cooperation between the two, it can be seen that Xiao Ash has been the protagonist from beginning to end, and obviously, Yunhai Jin Wither also realizes that Xiao Ash is stronger than it.
Of course, Zhou Sen also found that the sea of clouds and gold withering seemed to be very unhappy, and from time to time it would be broken, and he wanted to fall Xiao Ash, but unfortunately, Xiao Ash could also fly freely in the sky, but it was not as fast as the speed of the sea of clouds, and it was impossible to fall into it, but it made the bad sea of clouds suffer a lot......
……
This journey, watching a withered squirrel play tricks on each other, is not boring.
After running wildly for two hours, twilight had already appeared in the sky, and it seemed to be dusk.
Twilight!
Zhou Sen suddenly reacted, in the city in the sky, there is no dusk.
Could it be that the sun in the sky city is also going out?
Zhou Sen already knew the information about Sky City in great detail.
According to historical records, the sun in the sky city should have been extinguished together with the sun in the outer city, and later, because there was an invincible hunter in the sky city, the hunter happened to catch up with the beast tide once in a decade, so he came to the aid and changed the extinguishing time of the sun, so that the sun in the sky city was two days slower than the sun in the outer city.
But don't underestimate these two days, because of these two days, some herbivores will gather in the outer city, which greatly reduces the pressure on the sky city and becomes the cornerstone of the prosperity of the sky city.
It is precisely because of these two days that the outer city has been suppressed by the sky city.
The dissatisfaction of the outer city with the sky city is not the discrimination of the sky city in the bones, but the two fatal days.
Listening to the grievances and grievances between the Outer City and the Sky City, Zhou Sen was full of emotion, sure enough, where there are human beings, there is war, in this desolate and barren meteorite belt, human beings are still unable to work together, and other places can be imagined.
The sun in the sky has gradually turned orange, and it is estimated that at most an hour, the gradually dimming sun will be extinguished, and at that time, the beast tide will launch a general attack.
In fact, Zhou Sen didn't care if Sky City fell, he cared about the high-level cosmic hunter Yue Lao, and only Yue Lao knew the location of the teleportation array.
Of course, Zhou Sen also knew very well that if Yue Lao wanted to take the initiative to take him to the teleportation array in the depths of the universe, he had to help him get through the crisis in Sky City.
Zhou Sen and the mourning leopard quickened their pace.
The goal of the two is the South Heavenly Gate.
Like the Outer City, the Sky City is also a four-line defense line, however, they are not called the Western Defense Line, but the four heavenly gates in the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
When he ran wildly for a stick of incense, a towering city was revealed on the horizon in the distance.
"There is a city in the sky?" Zhou Sen couldn't help but be stunned, he thought that the Sky City was also the same as the Outer City by virtue of natural hazards, and he didn't expect to build a city at all, after all, the beasts in the meteorite belt were extremely agile, and hundreds of cliffs could be easily climbed, and the city wall could not play a defensive role at all, so there was no need to build the city wall at all with money and money.
"It's all plains here, and there's no natural danger to defend if you're not a husband and a man."
"I see." Zhou Sen looked at the flat wasteland around him, and suddenly realized.
The towering walls are getting closer and closer.
What a high wall!
Looking at the towering city wall, Zhou Sen couldn't help but think of the Starlight City in the Demon Core Continent, although the city wall here cannot be compared with the Starlight City, but it is more visually impactful than Starlight City, giving people an unparalleled sense of oppression, because this city is standing on the plain, there are no steep peaks around, the terrain is flat, and under the twilight, it seems that the city is tall and magnificent, and the momentum is compelling, as if there is a giant beast lying horizontally on the sky.
The two ran to the city wall, and in front of the city wall, there was actually a moat.
Sure enough, it is a land of abundance.
Looking at the clear water in the moat, Zhou Sen secretly sighed, but he knew that in the outer city, there was no decent well water, and most of the residents were collecting mist and turning water into water.
Presumably, there must be another prosperity in that city!
"We're going into town!" The leopard walked to the moat in front of the city gate, opened his throat and shouted.
"Who are you?" At the head of the city, several heads in armor emerged.
"I'm a mourning leopard in the outer city, and I want to see Elder Yue for something!" The mourning leopard said loudly.
"Haha...... The untouchables of the Outer City also want to meet our high-level cosmic hunters, are you dreaming? Hahahaha......"
Above the city, there was a burst of unbridled laughter.
"You ......" the leopard was furious and was about to jump onto the wall.
"Slow." Zhou Sen said.
"Brother Zhou, this breath can't be swallowed no matter what." The mourning leopard was already hot, although he was stopped by Zhou Sen, his face was bulging with green tendons, and he was murderous.
"Look over there."
Zhou Sen's eyes motioned to the mourning leopard to look at the attic above the city wall, above the attic, there was a big man wearing a golden armor stomach, surrounded by a group of black-armored men, which was particularly dazzling.
"Cosmic Hunter ......"
The mourning leopard's heart was awe-inspiring, and he felt a powerful aura rushing towards his face, like a mountain mountain, suffocating.
Between the masters, just a movement and a look, you can feel the strength of the other party, and almost instantly, the leopard knows that the other party is a cosmic hunter, and there is more than one.
This city in the sky is really strong!
At the same time, several big men on the top of the city tower also seemed to realize that the Lost Leopard was a cosmic hunter, and several eyes looked down.
"A rookie who has just made the cut." A big man in a black armor stomach said disapprovingly.
"Mourning Leopard...... I heard about this man......"
The golden-armored man had a thoughtful expression, he was not looking at the mourning leopard, but at the young man with long hair flying, the young man stood under the city wall with his hands in his hands, and his calm and unhurried bearing was heartbreaking.
Who is he?
When did the Outer City have this person?
"Quack ......"
Just as the golden armor man was thinking, suddenly, a loud chirp came from the sky, although the sound was harsh and ugly, it was moving.
There was a commotion on the city wall, and countless heads came out one after another, densely packed, and for a while, there were swords and guns, and the murderous atmosphere was ......
Facing the fierce murderous aura transmitted down from the city wall, Yun Haijin carried Xiao Ash around Zhou Sen's head, and flew straight towards the city wall, ignoring the dense defenders on the city wall, as if entering a no-man's land.
"The sea of clouds is golden!" A big man in black armor let out an exclamation.
"Ah, it's really a sea of clouds!"
The black-armored men on the city tower were all frightened, because Yunhai Jin Wither is a carnivore, usually, Xiang Yunhai Jin Withered such a bird generally does not appear in human settlements, and it is even more unprecedented to blatantly appear on the city wall this week.
Only the golden-armored man was as calm as ever, and his deep eyes were like the vast starry sky.
The black-armored big man seemed to be infected by the calmness of the gold-armored big man, the commotion was fleeting, and above the city tower, there was a quiet, oppressive silence, people held their breath, and every pair of eyes stared at the sea of clouds and golden withering in the air.
Although the sea of clouds is in the sky, those sharp eyes are extremely eye-catching and intimidating, and everyone has a feeling of being stared at.
For ordinary hunters, seeing the golden eyes of the sea of clouds, their souls are captured by them, as if they have fallen into the endless darkness.
In Zhou Sen's eyes, Yunhai Jin Wither does not have any special ability, and in fact, among the Mengmeng beasts in the meteorite belt, it can definitely be ranked in the top ten, in normal times, let alone an ordinary hunter, even if it is a cosmic hunter, it will not easily provoke Yunhai Jinzhuo, because Yunhai Jinzhuo is not only extremely strong in combat, but also notorious in the meteorite belt.
It is said that there was a hunter who attacked the Yunhai Golden Wither, and as a result, the Yunhai Golden Wither entangled the hunter for five years, and finally, the hunter was killed by the Yunhai Golden Wither, and the matter was completely over, and its strong sense of revenge was peerless.
In fact, Yunhai Jinzhuo can occupy Qiongshu for hundreds of years, mainly because its revenge is too strong, although humans can dig up Qiongshu, but they are not 100% sure to kill Yunhai Jinshu, in case Yunhai Jinzhuo escapes, it will really be endless......
At this time, the people on the city tower had already seen that Yunhai Jin Diao was the pet raised by the long-haired young man, because when Yunhai Jin Diao flew up to the South Heavenly Gate, it circled several times above the long-haired young man's head, and those who were familiar with the habits of birds knew that they were asking for the owner's opinion.
The black-armored men were infected by the calmness of the gold-armored men and regained their composure, after all, it was just a flat-haired beast, this city in the sky, with strong soldiers and strong horses, and two high-level cosmic hunters in charge, was naturally not afraid of a beast.
No one noticed that there was an even more terrifying squirrel lurking on the back of the huge sea of clouds......
……
In the twilight, on top of the magnificent and majestic castle tower, a black-armored cosmic hunter suddenly bent his bow and arrow, and a sharp arrow shot into the sky with a thrilling whistling sound, like a bolt of lightning, thrilling.
Rattle......
Under the eyes of thousands of pairs, the sea of clouds withered out a loud chirp, opened its mouth to peck the sharp arrow that shot over, and between a few close of the sharp beak, the sharp arrow actually turned into powder, fluttering in the air, and falling with the wind......
The soldiers on the city walls had their mouths wide open, and they all had dull expressions.
"We have something to do with Elder Yue, please open the door!"
Zhou Sen didn't want to stiffen the relationship, his arm moved lightly towards the sky, and the sea of clouds flew around the city tower, and suddenly flew towards the city wall, the pair of wings several zhang wide, under the high-speed fluttering wings, a violent wind blew, and the soldiers on the city wall were caught off guard, and they avoided one after another, and for a while, it was a mess.
Rattle!
The sea of clouds flew into the sky above Zhou Sen and let out a smug chirp.
"Does Elder Yue know you?" The golden-armored man asked with a cold face.
“…… I don't know. Zhou Sen was stunned.
"Sorry......"
"We know Fang Liu." Zhou Sen suddenly remembered.
Fang Liu...... Well, you guys wait a minute. ”
On the top of the city tower, the golden-armored man explained a few words, and immediately, a soldier went to inform Fang Liu.
Zhou Sen and the mourning leopard were not in a hurry, and waited quietly by the moat with the mourning leopard, while the sea of clouds and golden withering flew up the city wall from time to time to harass those ordinary soldiers, causing those soldiers to panic, and all the plants and trees were soldiers, and their nerves were tense.
What made Zhou Sen strange was that Xiao Ash was lying on the back of Yunhai Jin Wither from beginning to end, and did not show his traces.
Xiao Ash's body is smaller, and when Yunhai Jin is flying in the sky, his wings are spread several feet, and he is at a high altitude, because of the problem of line of sight, Xiao Ash lurks on it, and it is not easy to detect at all.
These two guys are cunning and know how to hide them.
A stick of incense passed, and there was not the slightest movement on the city tower, and the gold-armored man and a group of black-armored men were still standing quietly on it, occasionally talking in a low voice.
"Someone's coming." Mourning Leopard Road.
"Hmm."
Zhou Sen also saw that a black shadow climbed the city tower surrounded by a group of people, and the golden-armored man greeted him, and then, because of the obstruction of the building, he couldn't see clearly.
Who's coming?
Zhou Sen was sure that it was not Fang Liu, because Fang Liu would not have such a big show, and if it was Fang Liu, he would definitely greet him first, and he would never sneakily call the golden-armored man away.
Who is it?
Zhou Sen felt a hint of familiarity, but it would never be Fang Liu's breath.
Could it be Guo Zhengyi?
Zhou Sen's body was shocked, if it was Guo Zhengyi, it would really be a narrow road, thinking of Guo Zhengyi's treacherous smile, Zhou Sen's face exuded a trace of cold murderous intent.
Thundered......
Just as Zhou Sen was thinking, the heavy city gate opened, the suspension bridge on the moat was also lowered, and inside the doorway, the gold-armored man came out first, and behind him, there was a group of black-armored men.
Didn't see Fang Liu.
I didn't see Guo Zhengyi either.
Things are weird, because, judging from the pomp and circumstance of the golden-armored man, his identity must be respected, and he will never come out to greet him in person.
Zhou Sen looked at the people who greeted him quietly.
The first golden-armored man looked about fifty years old, with cold facial features, giving people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, and he also had a heart-wrenching demeanor between his gestures.
The group of black-armored men who followed behind the gold-armored man were also extraordinary, and although they were following behind the gold-armored man, they were just as daring to despise them, and between their eyebrows, they showed an awe-inspiring murderous intent.
"Wu Tian." The golden-armored man stood far away and bowed to Zhou Sen.
"Zhou Sen."
"Wu Tian......" The mourning leopard standing behind Zhou Sen let out an exclamation.
Almost immediately, Zhou Sen had already determined that this Wu Tian must be a well-known figure in the meteorite belt, otherwise, with the insight and unyielding personality of the Lost Leopard, he would never have such a shocking performance.
Zhou Sen's guess was right, in the meteorite belt, Wu Tian was indeed a famous figure, because he was one of the six high-level cosmic hunters in Sky City, on a par with the respected Yue Lao, and was deeply respected by the hunters of Sky City.
In the meteorite belt, there are eight known high-level cosmic hunters, and among them, Sky City occupies six seats, and the other two are in the Outer City, but the two high-level hunters of the Outer City have disappeared as early as fifty years ago.
In fact, of the eight known high-level cosmic hunters, only three can be contacted, and only two of these three people will rush to the sky city once in ten years to support, and these two high-level cosmic hunters are none other than Yue Lao and this Wu Tian.
Compared with the withering of the outer city, the number of primary and intermediate cosmic hunters in the sky city is extremely large, even in normal times, there will be at least three cosmic hunters in the sky city, and when it comes to the beast tide once in a decade, a large number of cosmic hunters will rush back, and the number will exceed ten, and the peak will reach twenty, while in the outer city, even in the beast tide, there are very few cosmic hunters, and high-level cosmic hunters don't even think about it.
However, the city outside the city also has advantages, because the living environment is harsh, the people are more fierce, and they are more fearless of death, so in the previous wars between the city outside the city and the city in the sky, the city in the sky did not take any advantage, but repeatedly suffered some dark losses.
There is a saying in the city in the sky: you can discriminate against the hunters of the outer cities, but you can't underestimate their strength.
Seeing the mourning leopard and the long-haired young man, Wu Tianhe and the group of masters behind him did not have the slightest contempt in their eyes, but were extremely dignified. In fact, the fame of the mourning leopard in the meteorite belt is also extremely loud, even the people of the sky city have heard of its name for a long time.
