Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Traveler in a Fairy Tale World
The closer he got to this city, the more shocked Lin Xi became.
He saw that there were many towers with sharp tops, and many temple-like buildings with wide domes, and the surface of these towers and temples was green, the natural green of life.
It feels as if the entire building is a living plant.
However, the green surface of these towers and temple-like buildings has a bright texture of various colors, very much like a stripe of runes.
In addition to these buildings, which combine flamboyance with mystery and mystery, there are also a large number of round yurt-like buildings hidden in the forest. These buildings are also surrounded by vines, which are hung among the trees of different heights.
A river that looked like a natural one, winding its way through the city, and winding eastward, was about fifty paces wide, and where it flowed out of the green walls, it made a gate, and there were two large trees lying horizontally, like two drawbridges, leading to the city.
Just when Lin Xi couldn't help but want to ask Chi Xiaoye what those tower-like buildings and temple-like buildings were used for, dozens of huge monster figures walked out from the city gate facing them.
These slow, but obviously larger than the elephants of the Divine Elephant Army, full of oppressive power, immediately attracted all of Lin Xi's attention.
Then his gaze quickly froze, and his mouth opened as if he were about to swallow a few eggs in one gulp.
"What the hell is this?"
This time, even Nangong Weiyang couldn't help but ask in shock.
From a distance, this monster looked like a giant snail, but when it got closer, it looked more like a blue-black ship.
The obviously hard blue-black case has many gray and yellow spots that naturally grow, like rotten wood.
There are no obvious holes in the shell, and it is impossible to see whether there are hands and feet or snail-like soft bodies, but you can see that the bottom of this monster, which looks like a rotten shipwreck, is constantly flashing with circles of yellow halos, and there are obvious fluctuations in the soul power of demon beasts.
"This is the Soul Boat, a demon beast in some waters of the Ancient Demon Forest. Chi Xiaoye looked at those huge figures nervously, and quickly explained: "Because it is particularly like a shipwreck a long time ago in the water, when our clan didn't know about it before, we would be killed if we approached this kind of thing, so in the legends of our clan a long time ago, it was said that this is a drowned ghost living in a broken shipwreck, so this kind of thing has always been called the soul boat, and seventy years ago, only the clansmen determined that this was a demon beast." This kind of demon beast will spit out a column of water, and its strength is only about the same as that of the national warrior rank, and its movement speed can only be about the same as that of ordinary people, but the key is that the shell is too hard, even if it is a great master, it is difficult to break without the assistance of a powerful soul soldier. And it doesn't even have a heart, so it's impossible to kill it unless you make a mess of the software inside. ”
"It's super durable. Lin Xi, who was eye-opening, couldn't help but sigh that his understanding of this world was indeed too little, "If there are dozens of this kind of soul boat, you may be able to steadily restrain the Elephant Army." He couldn't help but turn his head and whispered to Chi Xiaoye.
"I'm interested in everything here and want to take it with me. Nangong Weiyang glanced at Lin Xi, "But the key is that others are willing to take it away for you." ”
Lin Xi sneered, "You have been a bandit leader for a long time, and you talk like a robber leader." ”
......
Similarly, the arrival of Lin Xi and Nangong Weiyang also shocked the city.
Many men and women with the same green eyes and green hair as Chi Xiaoye, who were called "Demon Clan" by Emperor Yun Qin in the military newspaper, leaned out of the buildings surrounded by vines in panic, and like Yun Qin's cultivators, these ordinary people of the "Demon Clan" were also full of fear of the unknown.
They had never seen such a majestic appearance, a golden light, and a powerful soul power fluctuating on its body.
Above the dozens of terrifying soul boats, dozens of men and women wearing dark green robes and holding various odd-shaped blades stood up, obviously ready for battle.
There was even a man with long hair and a little curly, armed with a white jade longbow and golden feathered arrows, already aiming at the rope from which the basket was hanging.
Chi Xiaoye leaned out of the basket as much as he could, waving his hands while his mouth emitted a unique syllable, which was a completely different language from Yun Qin's dialect.
Several "demon clans" on the soul boat suddenly emitted unique syllables.
Shocked and frightened expressions quickly faded from the faces of the men, replaced by curiosity and vigilance.
"I can let Rarity land. ”
Chi Xiaoye turned his head, looked at Lin Xi and said.
Lin Xi nodded, looked at Yun Qin Phoenix and nodded, making a look.
Rarity then folds her wings and falls like a meteorite, only to spread her wings more than a dozen meters from the ground, causing the ground to slam and send fingernail-sized stones flying away from the wind, making an arrow sneering through the air.
The green-eyed and green-haired men and women on the Soul Boat suddenly had a little more shocked look in their eyes.
Rarity's eyes flash with pride and pride.
"I know you want to show that it's cool, but you also have to think about how the passengers feel. ”
Lin Xi rubbed his stomach helplessly, relieved the strong feeling of motion sickness, and said softly.
Rarity hung her head in shame.
Seeing Lin Xi and Rarity's appearances, the green-eyed and green-haired men and women on the Soul Boat looked at Lin Xi and suddenly looked at Lin Xi with different eyes.
One of the middle-aged men with a few braids immediately said a few words to Chi Xiaoye.
"What did you say?"
It could only be seen that he was talking about himself, and Lin Xi couldn't help but ask Chi Xiaoye in a low voice.
Chi Xiaoye didn't look at Lin Xi either, and said softly, "They asked if you were a ranger." ”
Lin Xi said strangely: "What is a ranger?"
"It is the equivalent of what you call a spiritual priest. Chi Xiaoye said: "In our place, it is very rare to be able to communicate and form partners with demon beasts with extremely high intelligence and powerful combat power, and they are also very respected. ”
Lin Xi then understood, and just wanted to ask if these people on the Soul Boat were considered rangers, his sleeve robe moved slightly, and the auspicious head came out, and its pair of dark eyes looked at the incomparably huge Giant Soul Boat in front of him, and it was also full of incomprehensible looks.
The green-eyed and green-haired men and women on the soul boat saw Jixiang and felt the breath on Jixiang's body, and suddenly changed color again, turned their heads and ears, and made a sound that Lin Xi and Nangong Weiyang couldn't understand.
This time, without waiting for Lin Xi to inquire, Chi Xiaoye had already explained in a low voice: "They said that you are actually a dual-pet ranger, and there are even fewer rangers who can have two demon beast partners, because different powerful demon beasts are often hostile to each other, and they can't get along at all. ”
Lin Xi nodded and said softly, "This is easy to understand. ”
More green-eyed and green-haired men and women walked out of Green City, looking at Lin Xi and Nangong Weiyang curiously and vigilantly.
Lin Xi also found that most of these "demon clans" were slender men, but most of the women were petite and exquisite, which was petite compared to ordinary Yunqin women. But both men and women are extraordinarily feminine and powerful.
Beauty and strength, two seemingly diametrically opposed things, coexist in great harmony on the bodies of these "demon clans".
If Lin Xi had previously given him a feeling of the epic world of fairy swords when he first met many lecturers and professors from Qingluan Academy on the shore of Lingxia Lake, then this place, this green city, just like the name, gave him a dreamy and fairytale-like feeling.
Chi Xiaoye and the clansmen on the Soul Boat began a quick conversation.
The unique scale is like the rustling of leaves in the wind, mixed with the sound of wind chimes.
"I have explained your intentions, and now we will enter the city, and they will take you to the wise men of the clan. ”
After talking for a while, Chi Xiaoye turned his head, looked at Lin Xi and Nangong Weiyang, and said solemnly: "Unless you can convince the wise, it is impossible for any clansmen to help you." ”
Lin Xi was stunned: "What is a wise man?"
"It is some people in the clan who have a high prestige and are recognized by the people in the clan as extremely wise, usually some old people who have been practicing for a long time. Chi Xiaoye looked at the giant soul boat that turned around in front of him, and while motioning for Lin Xi to follow him, he quickly explained: "Just like the great sage you Yun Qin said... I told you before that we are different from you Yun Qin, as well as Da Mang and Tang Zang. We have no rule here, no law, everyone is like a tree that grows freely here, and can do whatever they want, except for the eldest and youngest, there is no distinction between high and low status, but generally when it comes to important matters, the people will ask the wise for advice. ”
"Even if you don't ask for it, even if you just pass through the Ancient Demon Forest and just break into us, this is a big deal, and it will also lead you to the wise. Because the vast majority of us here have never seen a cultivator from outside here from birth to the present. After a slight pause, Chi Xiaoye added.
Lin Xi reacted, "It's like a spiritual leader." ”
Chi Xiaoye frowned and thought for a moment, "So to speak." ”
When passing through the city gate, Lin Xi saw that the two thorny poisonous trees not far from the left and right sides were about twenty meters high, not only full of fruits slightly larger than dates, but also with dense vines hanging down like the banyan trees.
This made Lin Xi feel even more like a traveler who had strayed into a fairy tale world.
After entering the city, Chi Xiaoye was obviously more excited, and her shoulders kept trembling slightly.
Many people greeted Chi Xiaoye from afar, but because they were born with a sense of resistance to cultivators like Lin Xi and Nangong Weiyang, who had never seen before, not many people came to their side.
"What do you do with a tower or a temple?"
Lin Xi hurried up, looked at those gorgeous, mysterious and mysterious buildings, and asked.
"The tall ones are the bee towers, and the temple-like buildings you are talking about are the dwellings built by the wise. ”
"Bee Tower?" Lin Xi couldn't help frowning, looking at the many gorgeous and mysterious towers in the city in confusion.
