Chapter 257: The City of Eternal Day

Ji Xinghuo stood on a hillside, in the midst of the refraction of light, looking at a tribe of highlanders built between the mountains in front of him.

"It's too late again!"

He scratched the bushy beard on his chin, and his tired face was full of helplessness.

Three days ago, the microphone received a message from Chief Hanqiu that a war had broken out between two highlander tribes. He traveled day and night, as fast as he could, but when he arrived, he found that the war had already been fought.

And, this is the second time.

The last time was ten days ago, when Ji Xinghuo arrived, he only saw the victorious side cleaning up the battlefield and burning the corpses of the enemy.

Failing to catch up with the war twice in a row made him realize a problem.

The bloody plateau is too big.

The transmission of information was also very slow, even if the Hanqiu Chief sent the news as soon as possible, it had actually been delayed for many days before the Hanqiu Chief got the news.

Wars are frequent on the plateau, every day, but most of them are not particularly large.

Like the last war between the Bloodfury Tribe and the Skull Crusher Clan, because the scale of the war is very large, both sides need to mobilize and prepare, and they also have to hire foreign races, so they have enough time to transmit information and be able to rush to the battlefield in time to obtain spiritual energy.

The Bloodwrath Tribe's war had been a once-in-a-century war in years.

The smaller the war, the faster it breaks out and ends sooner. Sometimes, when the news reaches the cliff, it is actually over.

Ji Xinghuo summarized two reasons.

One is that the message delivery is too slow, which is something you can't solve by yourself.

The second is that my speed is too slow.

The former is the main cause.

In the latter's case, even if Qinghong is allowed to move forward at full speed at all times at all costs, when it is tired and shrinks, it will rest on its body, and take over the run by itself, it may not be able to arrive in time.

"I don't have a solution."

"My flight speed is not as fast as Qinghong's running on the ground, the consumption is too great, and the star power can't sustain a long flight."

"Unless the place where the war took place, it is not far away, no more than a thousand kilometers."

Ji Xinghuo thought about it, but there was no way.

In the past ten days, he has been running almost all on the road, running back and forth for tens of thousands of kilometers, making himself and Qinghong very tired.

Not only did he not obtain the spiritual source energy, but he also delayed the search for the Hurricane Beast.

"Take a day off."

Ji Xinghuo turned away from the tribe of the highlanders and found a place to camp. In the tent, after eating and drinking, listening to the cold wind howling outside, Ji Xinghuo took out the bloody plateau map he bought on the earth, and after comparison, he found his current approximate location.

"To the northwest of the Falling Cliff, the distance is about 7,000 kilometers."

"I've run so far!"

Ji Xinghuo himself was taken aback.

His gaze fell on a city sign on the map, to the west of himself.

This sign is very eye-catching, unlike any other city, about a little north of the very center of the Bloody Plateau, just over 600 kilometers away.

Flip to the back of the map and find its description.

"The City of Eternal Day."

Ji Xinghuo's eyes lit up, and he immediately remembered that before he became an alien, he had read the city's information on the Internet many times.

The City of Eternal Day is a city founded by an alien race with a stargate in it.

Its status is similar to that of Olympia.

There are eight Star Gate Cities like this in the Thousand Peaks Abyss Forest, and there are even more than twenty on the Bloody Plateau.

Since leaving the Sky Fall Cliff, Ji Xinghuo has also passed through two or three Star Gate cities, but, just like the earthlings do not allow foreign races to enter Olympia, each Star Gate City is heavily guarded, strictly prohibiting any foreign race from approaching and completely excluding outsiders.

In the astral plane, it is dangerous to rush to the stargate of the outer race.

Ji Xinghuo was far away.

However, the City of Eternal Day is a Star Gate City like no other, open to all races and welcoming any foreign race.

The founders of the City of Eternal Day are the "Crystal Clan".

This alien race is very unique, and it is also strange among many alien races, they are very rare silicon-based life.

Strictly speaking, the Crystalline is a non-carbon-based life.

Compared to human beings, the lifespan of the Jingying clan is almost unlimited, according to the earth calendar, their history is as long as millions of years, and they have entered the astral boundary for more than 70,000 years!

Even if you look at the entire True Dragon Star Domain and Orion's spiral arm, the Jingying clan is one of the oldest races, and it can be called a living fossil of civilization.

Naturally, the strength of the Jingying clan is very strong.

This is also the reason and confidence why they dare to open up foreign races to enter the City of Eternal Day.

On the Bloody Plateau, there are two largest cities, one is the Killing Yan Tribe of the Red Emperor Blood Mountain in the southwest, and the other is the City of Eternal Day in the middle of the plateau. The Killing Flame Tribe is the nominal leader of the Highlanders, while the Jingying are the protectors of more than twenty alien races on the plateau.

"It's coming."

"Anyway, it's not far away, so let's go to the City of Eternal Day and open your eyes."

Ji Xinghuo is very interested in the Jingying clan.

On Earth, among the many known astral alien races and alien races, the Jingying race is the most talked-about and mysterious in addition to the true dragons and winged people.

This is silicon-based life, a life that only existed in science fantasy before the stargate was opened!

Rested for the night.

The next day, Ji Xinghuo's physical strength and star power were restored, and Qinghong was also in good spirits, carrying him to the west.

The altitude in the middle of the bloody plateau is higher than that in the east, the peaks are more steep, endless, the terrain is extremely undulating, sometimes a section of the road has to go up and down a long way, Ji Xinghuo in order to save time, often take Qinghong with him, and fly directly over by himself.

Even so, it was close to evening that he approached the City of Eternal Day.

At this time, it has entered the "frost moon", the penultimate month of the cold season, and the night time exceeds 20 hours every night, and the weather is colder.

The City of Eternal Day was built on a relatively gentle plateau, with a vast area of millions of square kilometers, with few peaks and no high peaks, and a very wide field of vision, which is rare in bloody heights, and many rivers flowed down from the surrounding mountains, forming ice rivers, like silver snakes dancing on the earth.

Ji Xinghuo stepped on this high ground and looked at the undulating terrain like waves.

He felt a little sorry.

In the hot season, it is sure to be an endless green savannah with magnificent scenery and a very pleasant climate. But now it's the cold season, and all I see is a snow-white sky, and the cold wind is raging in the sky, and I can't find a place to shelter from the wind.

Someone else was found in the electromagnetic induction, and Ji Xinghuo immediately put away Qinghong and walked forward in the wind and snow.

More than an hour later.

Jin Hui fell to the bottom of the mountain on the edge of the sky, and it immediately became dark.

Ji Xinghuo could still see at night, and found a road that extended to the west, the ground was paved with stone slabs, wide and flat, like a highway.

He looked ahead and saw a bright light in the distance in the dark night, and it was very large.

A straight pillar of light shot into the sky.

Even in the cold wind and frost and snow, the pillars of light can be seen clearly from a distance of dozens of kilometers, like a lighthouse in the dark, pointing the way for travelers.

Ji Xinghuo continued to walk along the road for more than ten kilometers, and gradually, the range of light in front of him became larger and brighter, and with his eyesight, he could already see that it was a huge city as bright as day, located on the earth, which was fascinating.

As we get closer, roads converge from all sides, and there are more and more pedestrians.

Ji Xinghuo secretly looked at these aliens.

The Highlanders, the Biao, the Dan, the Desolate, and the Forest Rangers are all common races on the Bloody Plateau, as well as many alien races.

Many of them are new to each other, and although most of them are similar in appearance to humans, they have different characteristics.

Ji Xinghuo could only recognize three or four aliens.

Like themselves, they all went to the City of Eternal Day, but in the wild, everyone kept a safe distance from each other.

Ahead, a huge silhouette appeared in the night, a translucent bubble about thirty kilometers in diameter, like a large bowl upside down on the ground, enveloping the entire city. The cold, wind, frost and snow are all isolated from the bubble, and inside the bubble is a completely different world!

Ji Xinghuo was shocked when he saw it clearly.

The first impression of this alien city to him is that it is bright and magnificent!

The outermost part of the city wall was built 100 meters high, and the material used to build the wall was not the usual stone, but a white crystal that seemed to be one, and the bubble that enveloped the whole city was inspired from the city wall, as if it were its base, flowing with a faint light.

In the middle of the city, spires hundreds of meters high stand tall, scattered and distinct.

The design of these minarets is completely different from that of buildings on earth, and they are atmospheric and ornate, with bright gold decorations on the edges.

All the buildings in the city, including the minaret, are made of crystal.

In the sky, there are many platforms and squares, and countless crystal lamps emitting bright light illuminate every corner.

Most of the city is flat, surrounding a peak in the middle of the city, with a vertical height of about three thousand meters, which is only a short height compared to the other peaks on the bloody plateau. The entire surface of the mountain has been transformed, from the base to the top, divided into layers of platforms, connected by smooth steps, and spires stand like crystal forests, up to the top of the highest mountain.

There was a crystal palace on the top of the mountain, and a huge pillar of light shot out from it, piercing through the bubble and submerging into the night, I don't know how high it was in the deep sky.

"It's amazing!"

Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but sigh.

For those who haven't been there in person, it's hard to imagine that there are such splendid cities in the world. If he had to describe it in one word, he immediately thought of "heaven".

"The City of Eternal Day, as expected, lives up to its name." Ji Xinghuo quickened his pace slightly, approaching the city, and the city wall entered the range of electromagnetic induction.

He was stunned for a moment.

In its own electromagnetic induction, there are many blind spots in the City of Eternal Day.

These areas are not blank, but the magnetic field pattern is filled with a kind of interference, as if it is a flood of junk information that hides the real situation, making it impossible to distinguish itself.

It is equivalent to shielding against changes in the magnetic field.

Although there are not many such blind spots, accounting for less than one-tenth.

But Ji Xinghuo was still surprised in his heart.

This is the first time that I can't get information from my own electromagnetic induction. These areas, including the inside of the city walls, the magnificent crystal spires, and the interior and underground of some buildings, are clearly key places in the City of Eternal Day.

Approaching the perimeter of the City of Eternal Day, light dispelled the darkness.

There are tall gates under the city walls.

Ji Xinghuo walked towards the city gate, standing close, it was even more difficult to feel the grandeur of this city gate, the huge transparent bubble in the sky, it should be a protective shield.

The cold wind, frost and snow blew on it, as if it had hit a wall, and it was blocked.

He withdrew his gaze and looked out of the city gates.

Around the city wall where the city gate is located, although the magnetic field is shielded, the fluctuation of etheric energy cannot be concealed, in Ji Xinghuo's eyes, behind those white crystal walls, there is a huge amount of energy flowing, according to a certain law, it is obviously an artificial creation.

However, it was the guards at the gates of the city that attracted his attention the most.

"Jingying Clan!"

Although Ji Xinghuo had already seen it on the information, he was still very curious when he saw this alien race with his own eyes.

There were six guards in this group of Jingying Clan, but their appearance was very different.

Three of them are humanoid.

There is a big difference in their height, with the shortest one about one meter seven and the tallest nearly three meters.

However, the three Jingying tribes have torso and limbs like humans, standing on both legs, their bodies are extremely broad and heavy, their skin is crystal clear, their bodies seem to be made of crystals, and there is a layer of delicate metal armor outside their bodies, but they are not "worn", but they are connected to their bodies, and the armor seems to have grown.

They have heads, but no necks.

The whole face is also in the form of crystal, and the facial features are blurred, so if you don't look carefully, you think it's a blank face.

The gap between the three humanoid Jingying clans is already very large, but compared to the other three Jingying clans, at least they can be seen to be humanoid.

The other three, two of which are like large scorpions.

They have six legs that support a strong torso, the upper body is erect like a human, and they have four upper limbs, the upper two are arms, holding weapons, and below are two giant claws, and behind them is a stout crystalline tail that balances the center of gravity of the body.

The last of them was like a ferocious beast, on all fours, with a huge mouth full of sharp teeth, and a heavy metal armor growing on the crystal body, enveloping the whole body, and no weakness could be found.

Ji Xinghuo was amazed.

Sure enough, as the information says, the Jingying clan does not have a specific form.

They are the same at birth, without gender, and as they grow up, they can choose different forms according to their preferences.

About half of the Jingying chose the human form.

In addition, the mainstream ones are scorpion, spider, serpentine, and beast-shaped. There are many differences between each form.

Outside the mainstream, there are many strange-shaped Jingying clans.

Ji Xinghuo has a deep memory of one sentence, "There are no two Jingying clans in the world that are exactly the same." ”

These six Jingying clans are all fifth-order legends!

They stood on either side of the road at the gates, motionless and breathless.

It's like six statues.

"The legendary powerhouse is used to guard the city gate, it's too extravagant!" Ji Xinghuo shook his head secretly, there are more than a dozen gates in the City of Eternal Day, and if each gate is guarded by six Legends, then there will be hundreds of Legendary Jingying Clans.

On Earth, this is unthinkable.

For the foreigners who entered and exited the city gate, the Jingying clan guards just watched and did not stop the inspection.

The people in front of them all entered the city smoothly.

Ji Xinghuo also swaggered towards the city gate, and unexpectedly, a humanoid Jingying clan guard suddenly moved and looked at him.

"Please stop." The guard approached.

Ji Xinghuo stopped, his face stunned. He didn't understand why he was stopped when others could come in and out at will?

I took the time to work on the outline, and today there is only this chapter.
