Chapter 313: Black Feather is shallow, the guard; Otherworldly, remnants; A city for thousands of years!

The sun is a beautiful thing that has been passed down from the word of mouth of the elders.

Legend has it that it rises from one side of the continent and sets from the other, distinguishing the year from the day.

It emits a golden light that illuminates the earth, sheds hope, and grows green plants from it.

As long as people are exposed to the sun's rays, their mood will unconsciously improve.

Kuroba Kiyosashi had never seen the sun.

But at this moment, she looked at the distant sky, the bright golden light that suddenly pierced the dim curtain, but she subconsciously thought of this long-awaited thing.

Her gaze, through the gap in the net of demonic energy, looked at the purple red Gobi illuminated by golden light, looked at the pillars of light that emerged from the dust and smoke that was stirred up, and looked at the golden light that continued to diffuse towards their location, and her heart was inexplicably calmed.

"Grandma said that the sun is great because it can illuminate even the dust."

This sentence flashed through Hei Yu Qingqian's mind, and he suddenly understood the meaning.

Immediately after that, in the next moment.

The brilliant golden light finally spread over her face, covering the bodies of her companions behind her, reflecting the light on the hard-shelled armor, and bringing a warm feeling when it landed on the naked body, like the arms of an elder.

The darkness is cast out, and the heavens and the earth are bright.

"It's so comfortable......"

Even the outlaw team, who was highly nervous, couldn't help but relax their minds, a moment of intoxication appeared on their faces, and their steps slowed down.

corresponds to it.

The huge net of demonic energy, under the illumination of the light, was like a snowflake that met a scorching flame, and quickly collapsed and dissipated.

The one-eyed giant bull with miraculous powers erupted into a terrible scream, like a mountain-sized body rushing under the golden light, as if it had been cut by a thousand knives, and in the blink of an eye, its huge body collapsed to the ground, melting like ice in an oven.

The moment the Demon Qi tide touched the golden light, it also began to transpire and dissipate, and many of the weak demon spirits in it could not even burst out with a scream, and they were completely wiped out.

In the rear, the demon spirit that had not yet been illuminated by the light stopped its advancing body, and looked at the tragic situation of the Tianjiao King in disbelief, and the terrifying existence of golden light erupting from the high sky.

The greed for blood quickly receded, replaced by a deep fear.

"A huge force... Could it be that the king was born in the blood food? โ€

"To be able to suppress the Celestial Horn Demon King, he definitely has the strength to surpass the king level, run!"

The demons who reacted turned their heads and ran without any hesitation, forming a retreating wave, but they still couldn't escape the fate of being illuminated by the golden light.

In a terrible roar, countless demon spirits were harvested by the golden light, crushed into pieces, and then turned into nothingness, and even the wave of demons quickly collapsed.

In the small team of outlaws in the same place, all thirty-two people were stunned in place.

"For our warm and comfortable light, it is like the natural enemy of the demon spirit, dispelling them all, even the demon spirit king cannot fight against it."

"Is that really the sun?"

There are team members with longbows, looking at the sunlight sprinkled on their fingertips, looking at the one-horned giant bull that has been completely extinct, and feeling inexplicably shocked.

Hei Yu Qingqian narrowed his eyes slightly, covered his forehead with his white palm, and raised his head to look at the high sky, the vision that had not been seen in hundreds of years.

The center of the light source was bright and intense, and even if she endured the discomfort, she still couldn't see through it, but instead she had a feeling of kneeling for it, like looking directly at a god.

"That's not the sun."

"Maybe it's a transcendent and powerful being."

"Is it the god who has watched over for generations, has he returned?"

Black Feather Qingqian searched for all the relevant information in his mind, even a city lord-level powerhouse who had seen it from a distance could not be compared to the source of the golden light, so in the end it could only be attributed to the god who had long been cut off from faith.

The light was only a few dozen breaths, and it completely illuminated a radius of more than ten miles, strangling thousands of demon spirits, including a king, and then began to weaken.

The light converged from all sides to the center of the sky, so that the earth slowly fell into darkness again, and everyone could finally be sure that it was indeed not the sun, but they did not regret it in their hearts, but rose, a thick anticipation and awe of the unknown existence

"That's ......"

The strong man Aru raised his head and pointed to the sky, his keen eyes took the lead in penetrating the faint light source, and when he saw the things in it, he couldn't help but exclaim: "That's a figure, it's the same person as you and me!" โ€

The voice fell.

The light in the sky dimmed completely, and sure enough, a long-haired figure wearing a robe was revealed.

The other party stood quietly in the air with his hands down, and his eyes were still surrounded by golden light, exuding a palpitating momentum.

He lowered his head, met the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd, then took a step, then disappeared, and in the next moment, descended on the ground, in front of the small group.

"Gollum ......"

A group of Predators, looking at the long-haired man at the front of the team, swallowed wildly.

Although there is instinctive fear, he can't even take up the thought of confronting him with a weapon in his hand.

The squad leader Hei Yu, who was standing at the front, had his slender body completely frozen in place, only the black cloak on his back armor was dancing gently

She looked at the blue-robed man in front of her, looked at the other party's delicate face, the restrained breath like an ordinary person, her heartbeat became more and more rapid, her chest rose and fell, and she lost her mind for a while.

"He has the same limbs and the same face as us, but he has the terrifying strength to be able to slaughter the king, and I have the impression that there is no such person in the city."

"Is it a strong man from another city? The existence of the person who can kill the Demon Spirit King is at least at the level of the head of the regiment...... That's too young, isn't it? โ€

"Is he really a god? It's weird that he looks good... He's looking at me? Ah, what an embarrassment, what to say. โ€

"Thanks, by the way, he saved our lives, as the captain I should be grateful, it's really confusing......"

The woman, who can calmly deal with the Tianjiao Demon King, blushes in the face of a strange man at this moment, and carries out strong and complex psychological activities, and the hanging palm is pinched hard.

"Hoo ......"

A touch of firmness appeared on her beautiful face, and then she raised her right hand violently, put her fist on her left chest, put her left fist behind her waist, stood tall, lowered her head to the figure in front of her, and said solemnly: "Leaving the city guards - the first investigation corps - sequence 77 squad code name [White Crane], thank you for your help!" โ€

When the words fell, the thirty-one companions behind her also immediately reacted and put on the same pose, causing the armor to vibrate and make a sonorous grinding sound!

The small team that finally reacted immediately expressed their most sincere gratitude to the man in front of them.

Even members who are physically mutilated and seriously injured have their bodies straightened up and tried their best to perform standard ceremonial gestures.

Although the identity of the other party is unknown, since he suppressed the Demon Qi Wave and saved them from the mouth of the Demon Spirit King, he is a benefactor!

Looking at the members of the White Crane Group who thanked him together, Zhang Taichu smiled, nodded in greeting, and waved an invisible force to hold up everyone's heads, revealing resolute faces.

Although he couldn't understand the other party's language, he could use his mind to understand the thoughts of the people present, and through the mental activities of the team leader at the head, he had more knowledge of this strange world.

"Legions, cities, gods that are no longer believed......"

"The same face as the Blue Star people, unfamiliar language......"

Zhang Taichu thought about it, looked at the black feather Qingqian who was secretly looking at him, and then took a few steps forward, and in the latter's reddened gaze, he stretched out his finger and pointed straight at the other party's head.

"Relax."

Zhang Taichu comforted the other party with divine thoughts, and his fingers touched the center of the other party's eyebrows without hindrance.

Hei Yu Qingqian couldn't help but close his eyes, feeling the gentle look from the other party, and he couldn't feel any sense of crisis and hostility in his heart.

Allowing other people's minds to penetrate deep into the sea of consciousness is equivalent to entrusting her life, representing her unconditional trust in her life-saving benefactor.

Although the rest of the team members couldn't help but worry, they didn't stop it after all.

Zhang Taichu's thoughts invaded the other party's body and covered his sea of consciousness, but he only obtained the part of the cognitive memory about language, and mastered it in a short period of time.

"Hello."

He smiled and raised his hand, greeting everyone in front of him in a language that was still unfamiliar to him.

This strange intonation has similarities with the Wudu language on the blue star, the pronunciation of the consonants is strong and gentle, mixed with a lot of nasal sounds, and it appears elegant and round.

Hei Yu, who came to his senses, immediately understood what Zhang Taichu had just done, so he stood in place in a daze, his face a little confused.

As for the other natives, they were not surprised to hear the savior speak the same language as them, thinking that they were just from another city.

"Who are you?"

"You're from another world?"

After Hei Yu Qingqian came back to his senses, he looked at Zhang Taichu in front of him, and subconsciously took a step back, looking overwhelmed.

How could a person who lived in this world not know that the language had been unified for an unknown number of thousands of years, and still have to obtain these from her mind?

Qing Qian kept convincing himself to try to be a little wary of the mysterious visitor in front of him, even though the other party had just saved the lives of their entire team.

But when she looked at the faint smile on the other party's face, she couldn't help but be hostile, and couldn't help but give her trust, and she couldn't help but think of the beautiful scenery of the golden sky in her mind.

As for the rest of the White Crane Group, after hearing the captain's exclamation, they looked at each other and were also messy in the wind.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Time passes.

Half an hour later.

With the end of the conversation, everyone present finally understood part of the origin of the life-saving benefactor in front of them.

And Zhang Taichu also has a general understanding of the world he is in, and at the same time strengthens his judgment.

According to the aborigines, the land under their feet is their homeland, and there are eight large cities, each of which is home to millions of living beings.

The city is named after the eight trigrams, they come from the "Li" city, the eight cities are located in different corners of the territory, connected to form a battle line, to guard against the invasion of the demon qi, and this is also the innate duty of every living being born in the city.

Defend the line, fight against the demons, and die in battle.

It is the life of countless people, and it is also the most ordinary life trajectory.

"There is no sun and moon, no day and no night in this heaven and earth, all living beings have long lives, and there are demonic qi, but the yuan qi is equally rich...... Isn't it a transcendent place? โ€

"So I'm really likely, in the Otherworld?"

He thought in his heart, remembering the introduction of his hometown by the group of aborigines in front of him, and then looked up at the eternally dull sky, and became more and more firm in his guess.

According to Hei Yu Qingqian's introduction, she is nine hundred and twelve years old this year, although she is the captain of the squad, she is the youngest existence in the team, and compared with the long life of three or four thousand years old, she is just an adult.

When he first heard this information, Rao is Zhang Taichu was also surprised, especially after confirming that the concept and definition of time passage on both sides were the same, and he was even more impressed by the girl's long life.

However, after realizing that if this world is indeed in the Transcendent Land, then everything can be understood compared to the sixty times time difference with the Blue Star.

As he expected, although the people living in this world have a long life, there are also many restrictions due to the difference in the flow of time.

For example, the aborigines of this world have a full 60-year gestation period, and the speed of physical maturity has also been slowed down by 60 times, and it takes 900 years to grow from a child who can't walk to a mature enough "adult".

Converting the age of nine hundred years old to the blue star, it is just a fifteen-year-old girl.

However, the black feather who grew up in the endless battle is shallow, and I don't know how much more mature she is than the ordinary girl on the blue star.

"I was in the Otherworldly Place, but I explored a very limited space, and it turned out that in it... Is there really life? โ€

"So rootless, born in this transcendent place, from such an environment."

Hei Yu said that she had never heard the names of Rootless and Feng Yao, and she didn't know that there were other visitors from the other worlds in this world, tsk...... So where are they? โ€

Just as Zhang Taichu was immersed in his thoughts, the voice of the black rain pulled him back to reality.

"Ahem, although it is a little rude, I still want to ask, are you really not even a hundred years old? Do you live in a world where the vast majority of people really only live to be in their 100s? โ€

"So you look young and you're dying?"

Kuroba asked in as little as he could, indicating that he had no intention of offending.

The rest of the White Crane Group behind her also had curiosity on their faces.

Zhang Taichu shook his head with a smile, and then patiently explained to them that the difference between Blue Star and this world is that not all people have extraordinary powers, ordinary people have a short lifespan, but they mature quickly, and the alien can refine Qi, and the lifespan is longer.

And his situation is more special, he has lived longer than most people.

As soon as they said this, everyone immediately understood that the so-called special means - particularly powerful!

After the two sides had a general understanding of each other, the members of the White Crane Group also completely let down their guard against the life-saving benefactor, and took the initiative to send an invitation to take each other back to the city.

Zhang Taichu happily agreed, followed the pace of everyone, ran in the huge purple Gobi, and approached in the direction of leaving the city.

In the process, the two sides also discussed each other's worlds to deepen their understanding.

But most of the time, it's a monologue of Kuroba Qingqian's excitement, and when it comes to excitement, her red face is completely different from the iceberg beauty she showed in the battle before, more like an innocent and simple girl.

"It turns out that your world is a round ball, it's really amazing, our world is a very big flat land, from the first city to the last city, there is a distance of 100,000 miles, but it's a pity that I have grown so big and have never left the city."

"So your world can see the sun every day? What does the sun look like, isn't it beautiful? Just like the golden glow you emitted earlier...... It's warm and comfortable to shine on. โ€

"Is there really a colorful flower in your world?"

"Wow, it's the same as the homeland paradise depicted in the legend, with big green trees and a turquoise sea...... We only have filthy demons, polluted monsters, and deformed black-and-gray plants here, and I envy you. โ€

"I really want to see the real sun one day, to be able to be warmed by the golden sun... I want to see your green woods and the turquoise sea, the place that haunts me. โ€

Hei Yu Qingqian listened to Zhang Taichu's patient explanation, while introducing the world he was in, and at the same time expressing his feelings, feeling the huge difference between the two worlds more and more.

"Actually, if you talk about it this way, isn't the legend in your city that has been passed down from generation to generation depicting the Blue Star?"

"Maybe you're also from Blue Star, who moved here for a long, long time ago, for some reason, until now."

"Or maybe a long time ago, someone from the Blue Star arrived here and brought these stories and legends?"

Zhang Taichu felt that the two worlds had many things in common, such as the concept of the passage of time, although there is no difference between day and night, there is still the same unit of time, and there are legends about the sun, green trees, and the sea...... It is almost certain that there is some kind of connection between the two heavens and the earth.

Hei Yu Qingqian shook his head: "I don't know this, even my four-thousand-year-old wife and grandmother can't tell the origin of the city." โ€

"However, in the legends passed down by the elders, the city has existed for thousands of years, since the beginning of the era, and it will not fall when the era ends...... In this case, as long as the city is still there, the demons will not be able to harm us. โ€

As she spoke, her body, which had recovered a lot of strength, was getting faster and faster, and with every step, she could easily cross a distance of tens of thousands of feet, which was simply flying on the ground.

The rest of the members of the White Crane Group also hurried in the same way, and their physical strength was extremely strong.

"Because they have lived in an extraordinary land since birth, the aborigines here are far stronger than the Inhumans on the Blue Star, but their physique has also been polluted by Demon Qi, and they have almost no talent at all."

"So even if an aboriginal like Hei Yu, who is already very talented, has grown up for nine hundred years, he is only at the same level as today's spirit jade."

"But this black-feathered girl is only a squad leader of the Survey Corps, if this level is raised again...... It's really a terrifying Inhuman army, just a city, it has a power comparable to that of the Blue Star Inhuman. โ€

"But eternal life and eternity guard a city, endlessly fighting against the demons...... It's indeed a sad fate, no wonder Rootless wanted to take the baby away from this world, no wonder......"

Zhang Taichu also had a lot of ideas, and after learning more about the world, he became more and more emotional.

"If I have the chance, I can take you to my world."

He hurried the way with his shrunken supernatural powers, and said to the black feather beside him.

"Really?"

"That's just amazing, can we really go?"

When the black-haired girl heard this, she immediately smiled in surprise, like a rose blooming in a dim world.

Zhang Taichu smiled and nodded.

ยท

Because there is no sun and moon in this place, and it is in eternal darkness, it is impossible to confirm the passage of time by the displacement of the sun.

About two hours later.

Zhang Taichu followed the group of the White Crane Group, and had already walked out of the boundary of 500 miles, and the purple sand soil on the Gobi Desert began to lighten in color, mixed with gray, red and black, and gradually showed more signs of life.

Among them are cacti-like beings, shriveled vines, clumps of weeds clinging to stones, and large trees that do not grow leaves but are full of strange fruits......

All the plants were either grayish-black or scarlet in the blink of an eye, and there was really no trace of green.

The creatures that live in it are similar to lizards and weasels, but they are much larger, with fangs in their mouths and bone spurs on their backs, and they are much more hideous than those on the Blue Star.

Occasionally, there was the sound of birds flapping their wings in the sky, but if you look closely, you can see that they look as ugly as bats.

Black Feather said lightly: "Now it is very close to the place where the city is located, and the dangerous elements in it have long been cleaned up, and the living creatures left behind are all harmless weak demon beasts. โ€

"Truly powerful monsters are either kept in captivity for meat or live off the beaten track."

As she spoke, when she stepped out next, she came to the top of a sand dune dozens of feet high, and then stopped, pointed to the distance with her finger, and said excitedly to Zhang Taichu: "Look, that is my hometown-Licheng." โ€

Zhang Taichu, who came next, looked in the direction of the other party's finger, and sure enough, he saw the huge city lying on the Gobi more than ten miles away.

The city is thousands of feet high, stretching out of the boundary of a hundred miles, and the tail has been disappearing into the darkness, like a mountain range with no end in sight.

On it, you can see a little beacon tower, with a glimmer like a grain of rice, and there is a firelight hanging in it every hundreds of zhang, and at a glance, the stars are like the Milky Way in the sky, floating into the darkness in the distance, and there is no end in sight.

Zhang Taichu thought that this was still watching from a distance, and if he came to the city in person, he was afraid that it would be even more shocking, so he couldn't help but praise: "What a big city." โ€
