Chapter 288 Can't Go Home in a Hundred Years?
"It's quicksand!" Cheng Ziming stretched out his hand and knocked on the royal blue temple icon, and said, "What moves in the desert is obviously quicksand." The temple www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion is probably built on a moving sand dune, which is why it moves from time to time. The speed at which quicksand moves mainly depends on the wind speed and direction, so it does not flow at a constant speed all the time. ”
"Oh. Wen Pearl nodded convincingly and praised: "Brother Cheng, your brain is still spinning fast, with you, the witch's trial task will definitely not be difficult for you." ”
"Hmph. Qi Feiyun straightened up, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said: "That's so easy, the trial task given by the witch, but to pick up the stars in the sky! Cheng Daoyou is powerful, and it is impossible to fly so high, how can he win the stars!"
The golden eagle opened its beak wide and asked in surprise, "Picking the stars? How is this possible? Who can fly so high!"
Just now, Cheng Ziming had already told the story of what happened after entering the world of lights, but he had not yet told the golden giant eagle and the leopard about the trial task given by the witch, so as soon as Qi Feiyun said that he wanted to pick the stars, he directly scared the two spirit beasts.
Cheng Ziming sighed and said, "Since the trial task is to pick the stars, then there must be a way to do it." Do you remember what the little girl read in the Wishing Deity's dormitory?"
"Remember, remember. Qi Feiyun said impatiently: "I've said it a few times, and it's a long time, isn't it just to make us believe her? But this kind of thing like picking stars, where can we Qi refining cultivators do it?"
"That's why the witch gave us the hourglass, judging from the time the hourglass passes, it will take at least a hundred years for the sand above to leak into the crystal ball below, so it seems that we still have plenty of time, and there is nothing to worry about. Cheng Ziming said confidently. He thought to himself: This task is not simple, now is not the time to be discouraged, in case everyone is frightened and surrenders directly, it will be in line with the witch's heart.
The leopard's ears drooped down instantly, and it approached the hourglass, and said dejectedly: "Xiao Ming, this sand leaks so slowly, almost one by one, it really takes more than a hundred years to leak out? Does that mean that the task of the trial is particularly difficult, and we may not be able to return home for more than a hundred years?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. Qi cultivators have a limited lifespan, and they only live forty or fifty years longer than ordinary mortals, if they stay in the desert for hundreds of years, don't they have to spend almost all their lives in the desert?
The leopard tilted his head suddenly, he didn't know what he thought, he was even more depressed, and sighed and said: "Xiao Ming, I am also a demon clan, and my lifespan is longer than yours, if you really die of old age in the desert, it is better to beg the witch and untie the spirit beast contract for us." For the sake of everyone's acquaintance, I promise to raise your child well and bring him back to the big world......"
"What nonsense!" Cheng Ziming threw a handful of sand at the leopard, and said angrily: "Don't think nonsense, this is the first day I came to this desert world, and I haven't even done the most basic investigation, how can I have such a frustrating idea." What if this task is very simple? Maybe there is a hidden immortal city in this world, built in an exotic space outside the sky, and the stars can be directly plucked?"
After speaking, Cheng Ziming looked around and said, "Don't be discouraged, although the trial task just sounds scary, as long as you investigate deeply, you can find clues." With direction, there is naturally a goal and motivation. ”
Qi Feiyun looked at Cheng Ziming thoughtfully and asked, "So, do you want to go to Feiyun Immortal City to find clues?"
"Not bad. Cheng Ziming nodded and replied, "Since there are immortal cultivators in this world, you might as well visit them." Generally speaking, immortal cultivators naturally have far more information than ordinary mortals. ”
Qi Feiyun thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, but before I go to Immortal City, I still have to do an experiment." ”
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the golden giant eagle and said, "Atai, do you want to challenge yourself to see how high you can fly?"
The golden giant eagle was excited, and said hesitantly: "You don't want me to pick up the stars, do you? Besides, I can only fly under the clouds, not too high. ”
Qi Feiyun raised his hand and patted the wings of the golden giant eagle, and persuaded softly: "I don't want Atai to pick the stars, I just want you to go to the sky to explore a way." Ordinary eagles and falcons really can't fly higher than white clouds, but Atai is a spirit animal, but a rare metallic bird of prey, seeing that you grow so big, you know that the wings are very powerful. Perhaps, you can really fly above the clouds and see what is in the sky. ”
"What else could there be in the sky? The clouds were empty, and the sun, moon, and stars were all out of the sky, and they were certainly out of reach. The golden eagle still looked reluctant, and it spread its wings and said shirkingly.
"There are no absolutes. Qi Feiyun's rare patience persuaded him: "Maybe it's really as Cheng Daoyou said, there is a hidden immortal city above the white clouds? Even if there is no immortal city, there is a teleportation formation that can lead to the outside of the sky, and the problem can be solved directly." Also, according to my observation for a few days, this Cheng Ziming Cheng Daoyou has extraordinary luck and excellent luck, let him go with you to explore the way, at least he will not encounter any danger, and he will definitely come back safely. ”
"Divine horse?" the golden eagle's voice rose an octave of height, and it shouted with a sharp sound of metal rubbing, "Do you want me to fly with someone?
Cheng Ziming nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, flying at high altitude is very physically demanding, and it will definitely be even more difficult to bring me with you." But what the prayer friend said is also reasonable, if you only send Atai to fly to the sky to explore the way, it is really reassuring, it is better to let Ah Zhen follow with him. It's a leopard, much lighter than me. And it's even luckier, so it's safe to keep it with you. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the leopard immediately jumped to his feet and said, "Don't go! Who knows if this dead bird is uneasy and kind, what if it throws me down from the sky and says that I fell off myself?
"Who wants to hurt you, you think I want to take you?" The golden eagle glanced at the leopard and said louder, "This guy is fat! I can't take it with me if it's so fat." ”
The leopard suddenly picked up Lao Gao and shouted: "Who is fat? This king is agile, but he is a xenomorph wind attribute spirit leopard! Aren't you known as having an excellent sprint speed? Come on, come on! Let's have a competition to see if you are flying fast or this king is jumping fast within 100 meters!"
Cheng Ziming hurriedly pulled the leopard over and persuaded: "Each of you monsters should say a word, everyone has the same goal, and it is easy to do things in harmony." Since Ah Zhen is unwilling to go, then I will explore the way with Ah Tai. Anyway, I'm just thinking about going to heaven to see what the world is like above. ”
