As soon as he woke up, he saw Jingri waiting for him in the tunnel. Respectful days are not allowed to be sent off. He followed the sun, saw the snake, and then said from the small under the command of the snake, and after a while, he met again to illuminate the world.

The vast world was not much different from the scene he had been locked in before, and it was still hazy. In the distance, everything is not clearly visible, and the islands and lands floating in the air are like layers of clouds, and in the near distance is a dark purple ocean.

Gu Chuan glanced back, and the snake was leaning on Jing Ri's head, staring at him in the gap of the comfrey covered by the entrance of the cave. Without saying a word, the young man looked away, he tightened his heavy clothes, grabbed the bag of his backpack with both hands, and walked farther and farther away in the dim cover of the comfrey.

"He's off."

The snake said.

The purple sea hides the figure, and the labyrinth of infinite earth hides the path of people.

The traces of the human team that set off first were extremely hidden, but fortunately, Gu Chuan had already learned all their routes from the snake's mouth, so a little rustling in the grass was enough for him to determine the location and movement of the team. Although the dragon's heart horn cannot read the mind a little farther away, it can also sense the location of the thinking body.

Gu Chuan locked the position of the team and secretly followed behind the team.

The road from Buzi to the Hanging Garden, that is, from one point in Qiongqiu to another, is complicated.

The snake thinks that even if the young man knows, he needs a team to lead the way, mainly because the land itself can move.

The first part of the road is not fixed.

On any island, if you look up, you can see thousands of shadows, countless floating land, passing by your side and overhead. The young man could not find the location of the dream, so he could only look for the path that the snake had spoken.

The trail consists of seventeen or eighteen empty islands the size of three- and four-story houses.

According to the local villagers, these small islands are not lined up most of the time, but their floating in the air, according to Gu Chuan's understanding, has its orbital rules just like the movement of the planets, sometimes thousands of meters apart from east to west, and sometimes close to each other in a circle or arc. And when this series of empty islands forms a long snake shape in the air, it means that they will next line up in a straight line and then miss each other.

There are countless empty islands, and in principle, you can go around any way, but the problem is that the land that the traveler walks on may suddenly fly away, turn around, and need to detour again, and it may even be like a maze, just to the edge, the standing island will turn around and fly back, making people constantly disoriented.

If you want to walk, you need to consider the trajectory of the island, unless you ...... You can fly, and your wing structure can defy the ever-changing wind and gravity.

Therefore, the snake also said that in the history of Qiongqiu, most of the roads opened up by the Allosaurus Dynasty were related to the flying Allosaurus species.

The history of this trail is quite ancient, and the snake is said to have been discovered by ancient people who migrated to Buzi in the past. They erected a stone monument on each island, which was to praise the rule of the dynasty, but the serpent contemptuously said that the dragons who had come with them were deposed exiles.

Non-exile does not come to this remote and barren land.

There was no need for the snake to deceive, and the young man quickly found the stele.

At the time, he was about two small islands behind his squad. The villagers use grappling hooks and ropes for movement. He did the same, but with his own grappling hook and rope made of Cogwheel Man.

Before each walk, he threw out his grappling hook, so that it hung on the rocks of the empty island in front of him or stuck to the comfrey. Then to test the degree of sturdiness, the man will leap into the sky, just as he pounced from an empty island to an empty island when he first got off the ship, and follow the smooth twist of gravity to leap into the sky.

The bright sunlight and the dimness obstructed by the rocks will change continuously in the leap of pedestrians.

The land in the sky is moving, the land below is moving, the land in front of you is moving, and the land behind you is also moving...... And people are also moving, at first they are throwing themselves into the sky, and when they finally settle, due to the subtle changes in gravity, they seem to fall from the sky under their feet.

At first, the young man only had a little knowledge from reading minds, and was not yet familiar with how to do it, and the sound from the comfrey caused the team in front to look back. But soon, he had a basic grasp of how the villagers moved.

"It's a bit like parkour, except that you use a rope in the middle to communicate the gravitational poles of the two islands...... It's also a bit like Tarzan swinging in the jungle by leaning on the vines and branches, and a bit like ......" the young man smiled at his own association, "Like the Angry Island Space Version, the rope is my means of controlling myself as I move between several planets. ”

One of the keys is to select the anchor point, and the second is to do a good job of adjusting your own posture.

He threw the rope again, surrendered himself to the wind and gravity, flew towards the air tens of meters away, and landed on his feet on the new land, his hands also submerged in the comfrey.

This time he missed and couldn't get his balance right.

The filamentous structure of comfrey is softer than that of real grass thorns, but it is still much harder than cotton, and can scratch the body and face of travelers.

The young man was not afraid, but when he fell, he caught a raised rock.

He looked through the grass and saw that the rock was broken, and the stone should have stood in the grass:

"This is the monument that the serpent said...... It's kind of like a human stone. ”

It is engraved with the texture left by the common people of the past, and now the monument has been toppled, and the traces of the central civilization are gone, but the flames of war that rose from the hanging garden still spread to this land where the sun first rose.

According to the snake, there is also a cave under the monument where it can be inhabited. The young man dialed it, and sure enough, he found a small hole. The comfrey has grown into the cave, but the villagers who come and go will cut it off one or two to maintain the balance.

"The Netherworld is three-dimensional, and so is Qiongqiu."

He thought, then got up, walked from the backlit place of the island, walked to the sunny place, found the front team, locked the path slightly ahead, threw the hook claw again, and then jumped forward, this time, both feet landed safely, and his hands did not touch the ground. He easily retracted the rope and prepared for the next swing.

Ordinary land is a two-dimensional plane, and people walk around on a plane of length and width.

The three-dimensional nature of the Netherworld is that everything seems to be light, it has height, and objects can float up to the sky and be accompanied by clouds. The phenomena are different between high and low altitudes, in the sky and in the world.

The three-dimensional shape of Qiongqiu is slightly different from that of the Netherworld, it can also fly, but it is the land itself that flies. There are also dense caves in the land. Some of the caves were washed out by the flowing water, and some were artificially made.

When they reach the end of this upward path, even if they have passed the blockade, they will start to take the second path.

The second path goes straight to the edge of Buzi and is much more complicated than the first. First of all, it is not particularly accurate and can walk many kinds of empty islands. The snake's advice to Gu Chuan was to follow the villagers.

But there are a number of landmarks that are either lingering on a horizontal plane for a long time, or going back and forth on a vertical plane for a long time, and are used to determine the direction, so that one does not go too high or too low, or lose one's way.

The main symbols are, in order, a cuboid land, a near-spherical land, a horseshoe-shaped land, a rectangular land, a horizontal aquarius-shaped land, a tree-shaped land, a disc land, and a table-shaped land.

Gu Chuan determined them one by one according to the memories he obtained when he read the mind, and then followed the team and stepped on the land near the rectangle of the first sign.

There are still villages of villagers in some land, but most of them do not come out to meet people, and occasionally catch a glimpse of one side, and both sides are hurriedly avoided, unwilling to see each other.

The team in front walked, and Gu Chuan in the back also walked. The team in front stopped, and Gu Chuan in the back also stopped.

The wind moves and the ground moves, and the land shadow is mottled. Daylight illuminates half of the world, and the low sound of the wind continues to ring in my ears, and over time, it is like the bottom of the world.

They took a third rest in an irregular tree-shaped land. At that time, they were far from their starting point. The cylindrical island became an invisible dot at the back and underneath.

And looking around, the nearby islands are full of huge dragon-like creeping sounds. Occasionally, a monster spreads its wings, and the wind makes a loud noise.

But the people of Qiongqiu will not be afraid. Because they all know that these dragons only eat grass. The little flesh of a human being is not enough to fill their bellies compared to the vast amount of comfrey.

Many small spots trudged through the grass, and those were the people who lived in the hills. The farther away from the Netherworld, the farther away from Bu Zi, the more obvious the signs of civilization become.

The world of the people who originally lived in the cave gradually went outside, and many stone monuments began to be erected in the comfrey. In addition to the text, these steles occasionally polish some structures that resemble eaves. Many stone monuments stand in the sunlight, leaving a straight shadow of the world behind.

The explorer drank a little water, only to feel that the further up he went, the hotter the comfrey became.

Their fourth inhabitation is in a cave in the Disc Land. There is still a lot of comfrey growing on this disc land, and the purple of the comfrey is almost blackened and sparse, and the filamentous structure is not a dull plant.

The movement of land and air seems to be much faster than on the ground due to the higher temperatures at high altitude, and the shadows falling from the sky change every moment.

Therefore, even the snake suggested that it was to take the big "land", and it was more dangerous to have more traces of people on the road.

The young man hid in a cave and slept hastily. He didn't dare to sleep too much because he was afraid that if he slept more, he would lose his goal.

When the traveler woke up again, the sunlight was shining into the cave as it had been yesterday, and the peculiar structure of the comfrey seemed to be heating up.

The rising sun unscrupulously spreads sunlight into the world, without thinking about whether the world can bear it. Then the heat surged, and the heavens and the earth changed.

He walked to the cave door and looked out into the distance.

On the top of the land, dawn-colored clouds piled up in the vast distance of the sky, stretching to the end of the bright heaven and earth, like a great wall, and like a wrinkled brocade spread in the sky. The sky is vast, but the clouds also seem to be constantly stretching, surging, and multiplying, like the dust wall of the great wilderness, as if it is about to push over the surface and swallow everything.

The darkness is behind the white clouds, the sun sets in the clouds, and the higher the world, the more glorious it is.

He turned his head and quickly found the squad in action. They grow in the grass of a piece of land. The grass stood in the air, side to the ground.

Gu Chuan looked at them, although he was looking up, he seemed to be looking down on the people on the ground.

He carefully hid his figure.

Further on, there are more and more bare rocks, and the comfrey begins to become less and replaced by perhaps an algae ......? Gu Chuan couldn't tell what it was, it was about like algae, sparsely, separated by a large piece of land, covering the surface of the ground, a thin layer. The grass became lower and less, making it easier for him to walk, and his posture was not easy to hide.

"Stop!"

He was found walking over a rock.

Dragon's Heart Horn sensed a large number of consciousness bodies hiding underground. The young man did not dare to act on his own, stood in place, and raised his hands. This gesture of surrender is also common here.

There was a crack under the rock, and it was from it that man came out.

He also had two horns tied in his hair, and the horns had wings, indicating that this man's identity was a rebel in the mouth of the snake, and he now occupied the hanging garden.

The soldier in front of him was young, probably not long after being drafted, and there was a kind of untrained childishness between the raised hands. He asked him in a skeptical tone:

"Where are you from, and how do you wear such clothes?"

"I'm an explorer from afar."

Gu Chuan didn't need to read his mind, he only said it in his broken local language.

"Explorer ......"

The soldier ran back and consulted with his companions. Qiongqiu's local exchanges seem to be frequent, and there is also a knowledge of explorers, and the most explorers are from the south. The soldiers communicated, but did not notice the breath of the alien dragon, and the language did not seem to pretend, and simply believed that this person should be a visitor from afar.

There were wars in Buzi, Mushi and other areas on the edge, but the place near the belly of the dynasty was relatively stable. They are not as nervous as snakes.

The soldier trotted back again, and asked him with a swarthy face:

"Where are you going?"

He stammered:

"The local villagers told me that the hanging garden is the center. I'm going to the Hanging Garden. ”

"Where did you come from and how did you get here?"

They didn't doubt Gu Chuan.

But Gu Chuan was secretly annoyed that he hadn't noticed that he had been discovered around him, and he was afraid that he would leave the team in front of him. He looked silent and pointed to the wall of clouds in the distance.

"Whew...... I came by boat from the clouds. ”

He explained the word boat for most of the day, which was a means of transportation similar to a wooden cart.

"Later, my boat fell to the ground and was smashed by the people there. I escaped and wanted to go to town, and they said there was a town. ”

The word town has been interpreted handy, a place with a lot of people, a place with a lot of things.

Seeing Gu Chuan's haggard expression, the young soldier showed a sympathetic expression:

"Then you're out of luck! It's called Bu Zi, and it's going on at war. ”

"...... war?"

Gu Chuan repeated the word.

"Yes, there is a small group of former nobles who have wandered to Buzi, instigated riots, recruited a lot of armed civilians, and tried to storm the dynasty, this is terrifying, you see......"

The young soldier took out a notice, which was written on straw paper with many words written.

Gu Chuan said honestly that he couldn't understand it.

The soldier explained:

"This is a list of the little group of rebels, and if you are where they are, tell us! The men and the dragons above are to be put to death. ”

He shook his head.

Rebels, or counterinsurgency.

This is one of the characteristics of the Qiongqiu War discovered by Gu Chuan.

In this war, both sides accuse the other side of some kind of rebellion, despise the other side with incitement and demagoguery, and declare themselves to be the ones who put down the rebellion. The serpent says they have ruled the land for hundreds of generations, and the slogan of the Hanging Gardeners is that they have lived here for thousands of generations. The former claim that they are sustaining stability and peace, and that they are maintaining enduring traditions, while the latter flatly retort that you are destroying this stability and peace.

The foreign explorers are dizzy, and they are still unaware of their contradictions, but they are forced to get involved in their disputes.

"Why fight?"

The explorer sighed.

The young soldier also sighed, pretending to be a familiar old man, and said in a tone that seemed to have insight into the world:

"yes, why fight! But outsiders don't know, Buzi has always been like this, and backward and barbaric places are prone to some commotion. ”

The explorer suddenly felt that he might also be a nobleman, but a new nobleman relative to what he called the old nobles.

"By the way, is your water enough?"

But he was a good Samaritan.

"Thank you."

The soldiers of the regional line did not stop the lone traveler, and in addition to water and comfrey strips, they also gave them simple maps, more detailed directions, and issued temporary certificates that could be passes or customs clearance papers. In addition, they also talk about some of the beasts that may be in front of them, such as the melt owl that does not grow hair, or the bear that is covered in rocks.

They said that the National Assembly in Hanging Garden had a new policy and welcomed foreign explorers, and that there were explorers from the West in the National Assembly.

The young soldier also blinked and said:

"If you're famous, you can write about us in your travel log!"

It's a little fun in their simple, long days.

"By the way, the road ahead may be a little scary, let me take you for a while!"

The explorer looked around, but could no longer find the shadow of the team, and simply agreed to his request.

The soldier led the explorer forward, not in the way indicated by the serpent, but on a larger road consisting of a few two or three large pieces of land. After crossing a huge land, Gu Chuan saw the world in front of Bu Zi for the first time.

It was a bloody polluted field.

All the land, every empty island, was thoroughly dyed red. The abrupt change in the colors of the world is frightening. The sunlight shines into it, and it becomes evil and dark.

Bones tens or even hundreds of meters long are stuck in the air on several empty islands. And the solidified flesh scraped against the rocks, and was blown away by the wind and rain.

Young soldiers are only sent here. He saw the surprise, worry, and fear on the explorer's face, and said to himself with honor:

"This is a glorious victory for the National Army, where we executed the terrible rulers of the past."

Gu Chuan knew.

This is what Mr. Mushu, who looks like a durian, said, the burial place of the elder dragon.
