Chapter 114: Celestial Winged Man

High in the sky, Ji Xinghuo rode on the back of the silver-winged pegasus, his eyes scanning the surroundings and below from time to time, feeling the wind whistling by him.

The speed of the Silverwing Pegasus is not very fast, but it is more than steady.

After flying for more than an hour, he has completely mastered the skills of driving Pegasus, and the riding experience is certainly not as good as taking an airplane, but it is better to be able to fly freely and overlook the land with some fun.

Four hours later.

Ji Xinghuo found that the flight speed had decreased, and Pegasus's physical strength was a little exhausted, so he asked it to lower its altitude. The magnetic field sensed that there was no danger in the area below, and then landed on the edge of a small river, where water and grass were abundant, just enough for Pegasus to drink and graze.

After landing, Pegasus gasped for air.

Its fur was also wet, and it was slightly tired, and after drinking a few large mouthfuls of river water, it regained some strength, and then walked to the grass by the river.

The Silverwing Pegasus has a special favorite forage, but it is not picky when it is hungry, and many plants can be eaten.

After all, it is an astral creature, much stronger than horses on Earth.

After only resting for more than half an hour, the Silver Wing Pegasus was refreshed again. However, Ji Xinghuo did not rush away, but let it continue to rest and eat, and stroked the horse's head from time to time to get closer to it. It wasn't until an hour later that Pegasus' physical strength was fully restored that he got on his horse and took off.

The Silverwing Pegasus took off into the air and continued to fly northwest.

It didn't take long for Ji Xinghuo to see a city in front of him from a distance, the scale was very large, and at a glance, he recognized this as "Hlabrisk", the most important city in the new Roman Empire in the astral realm, with a permanent population of more than four million, guarding the northwest border of human territory.

Ji Xinghuo did not fall into the city, far away from Hlabrisk.

After a short flight continued, he left the realm of humanity.

Theoretically, even if this is the territory of the Heavenly Feather Royal Court, but just like the Peak Valley, there are few people.

The ruler of the Thousand Peaks Abyss Forest is the Heavenly Feather Royal Court, and whenever an alien race's star gate is opened, they will designate the area around the star gate as a forbidden area.

It is also sometimes referred to as the "Stargate Reserve".

The Heavenly Feather Court will not interfere in the affairs of the forbidden area, but the alien race will not allow expansion beyond the forbidden area.

The races attached to the Heavenly Feather Royal Court, such as the Forest Rangers, Desolate People, Highlanders, and Headhunters, their cities and tribes will also move out of the Star Gate Forbidden Zone.

Therefore, there is no other race in the realm of mankind.

However, the Heavenly Feather Royal Court allows individuals and teams of the alien race to step out of the forbidden area of the Star Gate and explore freely.

The Absolute Peak Valley is located just outside the forbidden area of the Stargate on Earth, but it is not suitable for habitation, so it is inaccessible, and on the way from the Free City to the Absolute Peak Valley, there are only a few settlements of the alien races in the Star Boundary, such as the forest patrol tribe that believes in the Red Emperor.

But in the northwest direction it is different.

Ji Xinghuo flew dozens of kilometers on the Silver Wing Flying Horse and saw a large tribe of desolate people, at least 200,000 people.

Due to convergent evolution, there are a large number of human races in the astral plane.

However, due to the special environment of the astral plane, the evolution rate of species is more than a million times that of the earth, and many branches of human beings have been born.

The Desolate is one of the branches of the Astral Terrans.

Their appearance is similar to that of the humans of the earth, they walk upright, their skin is rough and dull, their hair is vigorous, and their civilization is relatively primitive, but their combat effectiveness is good.

Almost everyone has the talent of "toughness", can adapt to all kinds of difficult environments, and prefers to live in the wilderness, hence the name.

The tribe of desolate people carved out large clearing areas in the forest, built a walled city, and looked in order.

Ji Xinghuo flew in the sky and saw the desolate tribe.

At the same time, some people in the Desolate tribe also saw him, and several pterodactyls flew up from the tribe and approached.

He didn't want to make contact with the other party to avoid conflict, so he made Silverwing Pegasus take a detour. However, the desolate man did not hesitate to catch up, and even let the pterodactyl explode at speed, gradually closing the distance, shouting something loudly in his mouth, and his tone was extremely unfriendly.

Ji Xinghuo couldn't understand, but he had a way to make the other party understand.

He slowed down the Silverwing Pegasus, raised the invisible thorn, drew an arrow, and aimed it at the pterodactyl chasing behind.

The desolate man on the back of the pterodactyl saw him raise his bow, but he was unfazed.

The distance between the two sides is almost seven hundred meters, and there is no threat at all.

Shout!

Ji Xinghuo shot an arrow, and the titanium aluminum alloy arrow was thrown into the air, but the arrow could not be seen in the eyes of the desolate man, and two seconds later, the pterodactyl dragon chasing in front suddenly let out a painful wail.

An arrow appeared and stuck in its head, but did not go deeper.

The arrow was not fatal, and the pterodactyl flew unsteadily under the pain, and the desolate man on his back was scrambled to control the mount.

The desolate men on the backs of the other pterosaurs were also frightened.

They immediately realized that the people in front of them were not easy to mess with, and this arrow was just a warning, and hurriedly turned around and returned to the tribe.

Soon, the figure of the Silverwing Pegasus disappeared from view.

On this day, Ji Xinghuo flew for thirty hours in one breath, resting six times in between, allowing the Silver Wing Pegasus to recover its strength, and it was not until the second half of the night that he found a safe place to set up camp.

Even the endurance of the Silverwing Pegasus is amazing, and after flying continuously for so long, it is a little sluggish.

After eating the forage, it lay down next to the tent and fell into a deep sleep.

Ji Xinghuo didn't feel sleepy.

In the Vientiane Star Pupil interface, the arrow pointing to the northwest has become a little larger.

Today's all-day flight distance is about 2,000 kilometers, and at this speed, it only takes six astral heavens to reach Cloud City.

The thing that was connected to me has not been touched today.

Obviously, the other party is still in Cloud City.

"Hopefully I can catch up." Ji Xinghuo said silently, closed his eyes and fell asleep. Next to him, Qinghong opened her eyes and began to keep vigil.

After dawn.

Ji Xinghuo quickly packed up the tent, put it in the dimensional stomach bag, and got some food for himself and Qinghong to fill their stomachs.

After half the night, the Silverwing Pegasus also regained its mental strength and took off immediately.

Bypassing several alien cities and tribes along the way, a huge shadow appeared on the horizon ahead at noon.

When he got closer, Ji Xinghuo saw clearly that it was a city suspended in the sky.

The Hanging City of the Heavenly Feather Palace!

Yesterday, he passed by several hanging cities, but none of them were as good as the previous one.

Vientiane Star Pupil took in the distant scene in his eyes, and Ji Xinghuo saw the situation of the big city in front of him clearly from a distance of more than twenty kilometers. The diameter of the entire Hanging City is more than ten kilometers, and it is composed of a number of hanging mountains, three or four thousand meters high above the ground, and a large number of exquisite buildings can be vaguely seen on it, and many flying figures enter and exit the city.

"This should be Bloodthorn City."

Ji Xinghuo opened the map and checked it to make sure that he was right.

Bloodthorn City is one of the largest hanging cities in the Heavenly Feather Royal Court, ruled by the "Void Blade" family, the head mother of this family is named "Bloody Thorn", and has a very high status in the Heavenly Feather Royal Court, and is one of Queen Ayaqi's most trusted courtiers, which can be called the right-hand man.

There are more than 20 hanging cities around the 3,000-kilometer perimeter of Bloodthorn City, all of which belong to the realm of the Bloodthorn Master.

It also includes the earthlings and the Beiluoshi clan.

Therefore, the Bloodthorn Lords are lords of both races, and on Earth, everyone who has studied history has heard of the great name of the Bloodthorn Masters.

In the 21st century, the ceremony of signing a peace agreement between the Earth and the Beiluo Master was presided over by the Bloodthorn Mastermother.

The place where the agreement was signed was in Bloodthorn City!

However, over the years, the attitude of the Bloodthorn Master towards the humans of the earth has changed for some reason, from the original neutral posture to the faint target.

Even hostile!

In a large-scale conflict between the two clans more than ten years ago, the Bloodthorn Master Mother was almost unabashedly on the side of the Beiluo Division.

It's very puzzling.

The high-level officials of the countries on the earth may know some inside information, but Ji Xinghuo, as an ordinary citizen, does not know the inside story.

All he knew was that neither the Bloodthorn Master nor Bloodthorn City should be approached.

Silverwing Pegasus has bypassed Bloodthorn City far away.

More than an hour later, Ji Xinghuo had traveled hundreds of kilometers and had already left Bloody Thorn City behind. Moreover, he deliberately lowered his altitude, only more than a hundred meters above the ground, and flew almost close to the ground, just not wanting to attract the attention of the Bloodthorn City Winged People.

However, the more you don't want something to happen, the easier it is to meet.

Ji Xinghuo noticed a wingman village in front of him in advance and changed his direction to fly, but within a few kilometers, a wingman patrol team at high altitude suddenly approached.

The distance between the two sides is very long, five or six kilometers.

The winged people were born with eagle eyes, and their height was at a height of thousands of meters, Ji Xinghuo didn't have time to dodge, and the silver winged pegasus was huge, and it was immediately seen.

Ji Xinghuo pretended to be business as usual and continued to fly, but the wingman patrol quickly approached.

The speed of the Silverwing Pegasus is much less than that of the Winged Man.

The distance between the two sides was only a few hundred meters, and Ji Xinghuo observed this patrol, a total of eight winged people, and their appearance was exactly the same as described in the textbook.

The Celestials are a collective term for intelligent races capable of flying, and there are numerous branches under them.

The Winged Man is the most numerous.

The main members of the Heavenly Feather Royal Court are all Winged People, and their body size is slightly smaller than their counterparts, with the average height of men being about 1.65 meters and women being about 1.5 meters.

But their wings are wide, often exceeding their height, some more than two meters.

Usually the bigger the wings, the stronger they are.

The winged people are divided into different clans according to the color and shape of their wings. The wings of the eight winged people in front of him were all bright red, and obviously, they were all winged people of the Akabane clan.

As can be seen from the body shape, these are four men and four women.

They wore light leather armor, armed with bows and arrows, and wore weapons at their waists, and their hands were four fingers, their nails were sharp like claws, and they did not wear shoes under their feet, but a pair of thick claws, with feathers on their legs and neck, but their facial features were very similar to those of humans.

The biggest difference in facial features is the nose, the nostrils of the winged man are very small, like two thin slits, the tip of the nose is not covered with flesh and blood, and the bone is directly exposed.

The Winged Man's eyes have large pupils, sharp eyes, and far more vision than humans.

They flew very fast, their wide wings were dexterous and powerful, and they easily caught up with the silver-winged Pegasus, and after seeing Ji Xinghuo's appearance clearly, they immediately let out a surprised sound.

"Aliens!"
