Chapter 113: Left Hand
Ruth and the others were tasked with going to Sky City to find a hand, a left hand to be exact. The left hand of an ancient god and demon. Although the person who issued the mission did not tell Ruth and the others who this ancient god and demon was, Ruth and the others still saw from the words of the other party that this mission was unusual.
First of all, the other party demanded that the mission be kept absolutely confidential and not to be told to anyone. Secondly, the person who issued the task has always covered his face with a black veil and does not show his true face. In the end, what shocked Ruth and the others was the reward of the mission, although this mission has a certain degree of danger, but it will not indicate such a high reward, which has never been seen before, isn't it a tomb robbery? You must know that the exchange ratio between gold crystal and white crystal is one to ten thousand, and one gold crystal is exchanged for 10,000 white crystals, which means that the reward is as high as 50 million white crystals.
Realizing the abnormality of this mission, Ruth temporarily pulled Xiao Yu into the gang, although Ruth's own strength is not very strong, but she has always been very accurate in seeing people, she just saw from Xiao Yu's appearance and characteristics that Xiao Yu is definitely not an ordinary casual cultivator. Of course, the more important reason was that she saw Xiao Yu's Templar token. What the Knights Templar token means, I'm afraid no one in the Western Yuan Continent doesn't know.
The Knights Templar is the armed organization of the Holy See, and it is the most powerful group of people in the Western Yuan Continent, and those who can enter the Knights Templar are the elite of the elite, and the lowest strength is also the Jindan period. There was also a strict hierarchy within the Knights Templar.
The supreme executive of the Knights Templar was the Cardinal, who had thirty-six gold-armored chiefs and seventy-two silver-armored chiefs under the black-clothed bishops. Each Golden Armor Commander commands 100,000 Golden Armor Guards, while each Silver Armor Leader commands 50,000 Silver Armor Guards. The Golden Guards, also known as the Pope's Guard, have a higher status in the Holy See than the Silver Guards. The Silverguards are the local forces of the Holy See, and are generally only responsible for local affairs.
And the token in Xiao Yu's hand, which is pale gold throughout, is the special token of the Golden Armor Guard. How could someone who could possess the Knights Templar's Golden Armor token be an ordinary person. Therefore, Lu did not hesitate to pull Xiao Yu into the gang.
In the early morning of the next day, a group of five people set off on Bo Xiao and traveled south along the next beach outside the city.
Although the five of them are all masters of the Jindan period, and they are all able to fly in the sky, because the distance is too far and it consumes too much true qi, Ruth and the others have their own flying mounts, mountain eagles. The mountain eagle belongs to the eagle demon beast, the body is huge, the wings are more than two meters long, although, the mountain eagle belongs to the eagle demon beast, but the temperament is mild, easy to domesticate, is the most common flying mount in the Xiyuan continent.
When Xiao Yu first arrived, he had no mount, so he could only ride with Jack, bearing the weight of two people, and the speed of the mountain eagle was much slower.
Sky City and Four Seas City are separated by 20,000 miles, and it is estimated that it will take ten days according to the normal speed of the mountain eagle, because of the addition of Xiao Yu, the speed has been slowed down, and it is expected to take twelve days to reach Sky City. Xiao Yu could faintly see from the expressions of the four that Bloss and John seemed to have a lot of opinions about slowing down the team.
In this regard, Xiao Yu is also quite helpless, who calls himself no mount! Although the two have opinions on Xiao Yu, the convener of this mission is Ruth, since Ruth didn't say anything, the two of them are not good at showing too obviously.
The further south they went, the more difficult it was to mobilize the true qi in their bodies. The flight speed of the mountain eagle is greatly affected. By the time they reached the ninth day, the mountain eagle that Xiao Yu and the others were riding on was completely unable to bear the weight of the two.
As a last resort, Xiao Yu and his entourage had no choice but to get off their mounts and fly in the sky instead. But the further they went, the greater the gravity, and in the end, the true qi in their bodies was completely unable to support the flight in the sky, so the five of them had to go on foot.
After walking for two days, Xiao Yu and his entourage finally got out of the gravity area, and the surroundings returned to normal again.
On the desolate beach next door, a city in the sky suddenly stood up, the reason why it is called the city in the sky is because the whole city is suspended in the sky, so quietly suspended, as if it has existed since ancient times.
Xiao Yu looked intently, and faintly felt a powerful mysterious power around the Sky City. It turned out that there was a formation that held up this city. Being able to hold up a huge city alive can be imagined how powerful this formation is and how vast the energy is.
No one knows who built this city in the sky, it has been here for hundreds of thousands of years. The city is a ruined city, and the city is shrouded in fog, and there are dangers everywhere. For a long time, many people have come to the castle in the sky to venture out for treasures. Some brought out rare treasures, some returned with their bare hands, and many more stayed in the city in the sky forever.
Cheng Today, there are not a few people who have the same purpose as Xiao Yu and the others, and below the Sky City, more than a dozen waves of people have gathered, most of them are scattered cultivators in the Western Yuan Continent, and there are also one or two Oriental faces mixed in.
"Let's go, let's go!" Ruth greeted Xiao Yu and the others, and walked over.
Sky City will not be opened at any time, it will only open for three days a month, during these three days, the formation power of Sky City will be weakened, automatically exposing a passage that is just enough for one person to enter and exit, as long as the treasure hunter returns within three days, it will be fine, if he misses the date, he can only suffer in Sky City for a month.
For cultivators, a month was originally just a blink of an eye, and it passed after a retreat. But the most dangerous time for Sky City is when the formation is closed. It is said that as long as the formation does not come out for three days, it will never come out. No matter how high your cultivation is, it's useless.
There was once a legendary Mahayana master who deliberately waited until the formation of the Sky City was closed, wanting to hunt for treasure during this time, but this master never came out again. Not only is it a loose cultivator, but even the official Holy See has sent a large number of people to explore it, and they have also folded inside.
The castle in the sky is an eternal mystery, and no one knows exactly what is going on inside. Even in the three days when the formation was opened, it was shrouded in fog, and it was difficult to see the true face, and those who went in to hunt for treasure could only wander around the exit, not daring to go too deep.
Two days later happened to be the opening date of Sky City, and more than a dozen waves of people gathered under the city were all people who went in to hunt for treasure after waiting for the Sky to open. Seeing Xiao Yu and his entourage coming, more than a dozen waves of people looked sideways.
The eyes of everyone looking at Xiao Yu and the others were not very friendly, after all, in the next three days, everyone was very likely to fight for the treasure, and they all regarded each other as competitors. It's strange to have a good face.
Ignoring everyone's strange eyes, Ruth took out a huge tent from the storage bag, and Jack and the others quickly found an open space to support the tent, and the temporary place to stay was built.
"Yo he! Isn't this Miss Ruth of Snow Maple City?" Xiao Yu and the others had just set up their tents, and three ruffian young monks walked in front of them, staring at Ruth's bumpy and proud figure with an obscene expression, and teased.
"Hmph!" Ruth looked at the three people who came towards her, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and then she snorted coldly and walked quickly to the tent, apparently trying to avoid the three of them.
"Miss Ruth, don't be in a hurry to go, we still have a lot of accounts that haven't been settled" The ruffian young man in the lead took a few quick steps, and his right hand grabbed Ruth's long-sleeved lotus arm like lightning, and the speed was staggering.
Xiao Yu's pupils shrank slightly, and his feelings were still a powerful hooligan. Xiao Yu saw it in his eyes, but he didn't rush to make a move, because someone had already done it for him.
Seeing that this young man was so rude to Ruth, the tall Bloss was immediately furious, and with a "sonorous" sword sound, the long sword on his waist was instantly unsheathed, pointing directly at the young man opposite, "Boy, pay attention to your dog's paws"
"Ahh
"You are not allowed to insult Miss Ruth!" Bloss shouted angrily, and his sword-wielding hand trembled slightly, which showed the level of anger in his heart.
"Smack!" There was a crisp sound, and Bloss only saw the young man's figure flicker, and five more fingerprints appeared on his face. It's so fast, so fast that Bloss doesn't even have time to react.
"Dare to argue with Lao Tzu, do you know who I am?" the young man arrogantly pushed Bloss, disdainfully.
"I'm fighting with you!" Humiliated by this, Bloss burst into a shout, his whole body was full of mana, and his body was vertical, and he quickly pounced on the young man.
"I can't help myself!" the young man snorted disdainfully, his right hand was raised slightly, and an invisible flame instantly covered his right arm, just when Bloss was about to touch the young man's body, the young man's right hand was retracted and released, and a powerful energy instantly crashed into Bloss.
There was a few "clicks" of broken ribs, and Bloss flew upside down like dead branches and leaves, and with a muffled "bang", he slammed into the ground.
"Bloss!" exclaimed Ruth and the others in unison, and ran quickly towards Bloss.
Bloss fell to the ground, choking on a mouthful of thick blood mixed with a broken heart, his face sallow and breathless. I can't live now.
"How are you, Bloss?" Ruth panicked and grabbed Bloss's hand, and a soft true qi poured into Bloss's body.
"It's useless, if you hit my Ding Yue's flame true qi, no matter how high your cultivation is, you can't resolve it, and in less than half an hour, he will definitely die" The young man on the opposite side looked at the panicked Ruth and the others with a disdainful look and sneered.
"Ding Yue, you are so despicable!" Ruth saw that her true qi did not help Bloss's injury at all, so she couldn't help but raise her head and scolded Ding Yue angrily.
"Hehe, despicable, weren't you despicable when you deceived me Jin Jing in the first place?" Ding Yue sneered.
Ruth couldn't refute Ding Yue's words, she did deceive Jin Jing because of the urgency of the matter. But that is also because of the desire to save people, it is deceiving, not to mention that afterwards, Ding Yue has wanted to occupy Ruth countless times. Therefore, Ruth hated and feared Ding Yue.
