Superpowers of Sky City

The little bug "drilled" out of the ground as if it had no entity, and crawled slowly on the asphalt road.Its movements were neither hasty nor impatient, not only burning the shredded paper, cigarette butts and other small objects on the road, but also quietly burning the road itself, leaving a scorched black crawling mark under its body.

More than a dozen such bugs appeared in the blink of an eye, occupying more than half of the road in front of Spencer's house. Looking around, the whole road was covered with wriggling fiery red. Similar scene.

Just ten seconds after the bugs appeared, a rush of bells rang on the street, followed by a broadcast that sounded like a neighborhood committee lady: "It's lava bug time, neighbors, please cooperate with the bug removal, be careful scald."

Mr. and Mrs. Spencer walked to the door of their house, Mr. Rhea moved a black stone frame like a fruit basket, and Alfreda brandished a strange weapon like a pincer.She nimbly picked up a bug and knocked it hard against the edge of the stone frame.After a blunt sound, the lava worm closed its eyes and stopped moving.She casually threw the worm into the stone box and started to process the next worm.

"This is a lava worm." Mr. Reya told the curious Gongsun Ce, "On certain days, at the turn of day and night, they will come out of the ground and wriggle slowly on the ground. They will burn the road. Everything is combustible, even fire wind, so we have to deal with the bugs regularly - it doesn't take long, usually it can be done in about 10 minutes."

The stone frame was already half full, and Gongsun Ce's face was stiff: "The way to deal with it is to treat them as food reserves...?"

"Some environmentalists put them back in the fire, but we prefer to eat them jerky or grilled. Crack open the shell and sprinkle with salt and pepper. It tastes good."

In the ensuing conversation, Gongsun Ce learned that these worms are completely harmless when they are underground, and the lava worms will not even damage the underground pipes when they float up to the ground, and only when they are on the surface will they become such stupid incinerators.Looking at the slow-moving insects, he always felt a little awkward, but he couldn't explain why.

"Is it very similar to Dianhuo?" Yan Qi sneered.He didn't wait for Gongsun Ce to speak, he turned his head and said, "Fire-breathing girl, come out too!"

"Ah? You are impermanent... What does it matter to me that you do special assignments?"

Caldesia looked dazed, but Yan Qi had already left on his own.She hurriedly told her parents to take a walk after dinner, and hurriedly chased Shi Yulian who was washing the dishes.

The four left the small building and walked a few steps, Yan Qi made a seal silently.The next moment, the hot air blasted, and the unbearable dryness made them unconsciously purse their lips. The bright red flames under their feet were like a sea of ​​blood surging in hell.They appeared in the center of Melting Valley City without warning, standing above the wound that tore the earth apart.

Yan Qi suddenly asked: "The fire sinks to the ground, ignites when it meets the wind, and explodes when it hits the ground. Why did Ronggu City survive when it was built on fire?"

Caldesia said without thinking: "The state government invested in the construction of a high-precision air filtration circulation system, which can accurately filter the floating wind..."

"Nonsense!" Yan Qi sneered, "The Melting Valley City has a history of nearly 600 years, and the area around the Rift Valley has been inhabited since thousands of years ago. How could there be any technology available at that time?"

"Forehead……"

Caldesia turned around and hid behind her boyfriend, giving him an encouraging look.Shi Yulian looked down at the bottomless rift, thoughtful.

"Is it an expansion of the definition? When the fire is underground, it is safe, and the ground is 'below the ground'. If an extremely deep rift is dug by force against the fire, then the surrounding area can be said to be 'below the ground'. The area on the ground... cooperates with the architectural planning in the city to form an enlarged magic circle, and the safety of Melting Valley City is guaranteed."

"My brain hasn't been lost yet." Yan Qi nodded, and asked again, "The Fire and Wind State has a vast territory, and the land of only one state is the size of two ordinary states. Why not build a floating city in the stable sky, but want to build a floating city?" Take a lot of trouble to settle on the ground?"

"In order to take advantage of the fire..."

Gongsun Ce didn't think it was right when he said halfway through. If he only wanted to use natural resources, he could build excavation sites around the rift valley and build the city itself in a safer place.A place like the Cold Steel State with strong folk customs can build a burning steel city, but there is no reason for a political and cultural center like the Fire Wind State to do the same. If there is another plan for building a city in a dangerous area...

He flew upwards, high enough to have a panoramic view of the city.At this time, Gongsun Ce saw a fiery red "net". This net originated from the Great Rift Valley in the center of the city and extended in five directions. Each main road gave birth to countless small nerve-like branches. Covering the entire Lava Valley City.This web is alive, and the fiery red that composes it is those lava worms that drilled from the ground, and it is dim at the same time, because the worms are being quickly eliminated by the city, and the residents are using weapons to clean up the small holes in front of their houses. Insects, the city center has a drone army to kill insects with precision and high efficiency.

Within a few minutes, the lava worm network was almost invisible. Looking at her familiar hometown, Caldesia suddenly felt a little cold.

She muttered to herself: "Why does that net look like the technique used by Mr. Will?"

The three of them all remembered that when Weiyuan City was floating in the air, Agent Will used a huge magic formula to fix the entire city, and the silver chain was very similar to the scene of Melting Valley City at this time. .Yan Qi raised his chin and said with a smile, "Where do you think the spell is hidden?"

Caldesia looked at the center of the rift valley, curiosity occupied the girl's heart at this moment, she turned into a flame and flew into the depths of the rift valley in Melting Valley City.The flames are like an extension of her limbs, and the perception swayed along with the fire veins underground, allowing her to see the city and the land clearly at once.

She saw the fire flowing into the secret workshops, and people used it to create strange weapons; she saw that many flames were collected by the priests of the church with black stones and made into bullets or explosives; she saw the fire In the deepest part of the cave, there is a cold giant worm standing quietly. It is bound to the ground by countless silver chains, like a stone statue preserved from ancient times.Those bright silver locks are extremely thick, extending along the five main veins, spreading from the underground of Melting Valley City to the entire Fire and Wind State, and then converging somewhere in the western desolation.There is an inconspicuous colorful light floating on their surface, like the residual wine froth in the cup...

Caldesia suddenly jumped out of the flames, she shook her head, dizzy: "It's a mithril chain! Someone used a large amount of mithril to make a 'lock' underground in the Firewind State... one end is connected here , one end is connected to the west... Is that the seal of the saint? What is he sealing?"

Yan Qi waved his hands casually, and just said, "Go back! Now you have something to talk to your parents about."

Caldesia was so angry at this man's attitude that she ground her teeth: "I was born here and grew up here, and I have the right to know the secrets of my hometown!"

"But I have no obligation to teach you!"

Yan Qi laughed viciously, and disappeared with Gongsun Ce in an instant.Caldesia stared at the position where the man in black had been, and raised her voice eight times angrily: "Lianyi, how can there be such a super expert with such a bad personality!?"

"Mr. Yan has always been like this," Shi Yulian said softly, "You have to be very patient when you get along with him. We can ask Gongsun after we go back."

"Is there any difference between this and him telling us directly?!"

Shi Yulian thought for a while, then slapped his palm: "He can explain less, that person has always been afraid of trouble."

·
Yan Qi's teleportation is completely different from Shigure Zero.When using Ying Canglan or Dreamland to act, Gongsun Ce always had a strange feeling of swimming in the lower world, but he didn't have any "feeling" when walking with Yan Qi, as if they were still standing in place without moving, and the surrounding The world has changed its place on its own.

This time they came to a desolate mountainous area, and the rocks were bleak ocher red, like blood that had dried up for a long time, or rust corroded the rocks.Yan Qi didn't say a word, but waited in front of the mountain. Gongsun Ce was familiar with his temper, and knew that when the man was unwilling to speak, he would only respond impatiently, so he stood quietly with him.

They didn't have to wait long, and a few minutes later a bright silver light streaked across the sky, and the agent in the trench coat landed beside them with a suitcase.Gongsun Ce waved his hand in surprise: "Mr. Will? You came from Cangdu?"

"The Seventh Knight has taken over the heavy burden for me, and now I can play a better role in the Northern Continent." Will took the lead and walked forward, "Mr. Gongsun, what did you do today?"

Gongsun Ce's heart tightened, and he scolded Yan Qi for plotting to harm me.If I had known that Will would be here today, I would have to hurry up and do some practical things!When the time comes, take a notebook and talk about it repeatedly. This is today's meeting to record the situation of the enemy's defense.Now I've been fishing for a day and I'm still chatting. After listening to the itinerary, the other party can't be better and ask me, are you here to do something?Are you here to travel on public funds?
"I'm visiting Caldesia's house." Gongsun Ce smiled awkwardly, thinking that his image would be finished here.

The agent's next statement caught him off guard: "Have a good time?"

"Ah, it's good. Her parents are very nice. We also ate local charcoal-grilled whole chicken at night..."

Gongsun Ce was taken aback after speaking.We are obviously going to some terrible forbidden place now, waiting to reveal the big secret of Huofeng and the Church, but what is going on with this weirdly harmonious conversation?Did you also arrange for yourself the identity of "Mr. Will, Special Inspector of Cangdu", is it still in the play?Then your professional spirit of not letting go of a little practice time is really worth learning!
"very good."

"what?"

Will took out his notebook and made two notes, his expression seemed to become lighter.He led the two of them all the way deep into the interior of the mountain, and tapped an ordinary mountain wall with the Conviction Gun that turned into a pistol.A silver magic circle emerged from the ancient rocks, and then the ocher-red rocks lifted up rumblingly, revealing a passage leading directly to the ground.

Will led the way to the interior of the passage. After the mountain wall was closed, there was no light at all, and his voice echoed in the dark space.

"We have learned of the restrictions Situ Yi has set on you, and have adjusted the teaching plan based on the current situation. But before the official start, we agree that we should conduct another important inspection on you, lest impulsiveness leads to big mistakes."

He used "we", not just one.Gongsun Ce frowned: "If you ask your heart and investigate, Ailandia can..."

"Dawn Knight's judgment will be mixed with personal feelings," Yan Qi said, "She knows it well, so she entrusts us to do things."

"Okay, okay, so our investigation is going to enter the forbidden area?"

"The investigation is over." Will said, "Mr. Gongsun, I would like to ask you to explain a story to us. We know the ins and outs of that incident, but we don't know what kind of thinking the person involved had."

"I'll tell you?"

They followed the secret road all the way down the mountain, walking forward in the darkness full of dusty smell.The agent took out a small metal ball from the windbreaker and threw it up, and the ball emitted a white light to illuminate the surroundings.

Gongsun Ce faintly saw the end of the road through the light, which led directly to an ancient temple.Seven giant pillars made of mithril supported the stone roof, and flat white stones formed the cornerstone of the temple. The surface of the temple shone faintly with their arrival.

"The story goes like this. Thousands of years ago, the Land of Fire and Wind was a fertile land. At that time, the flames burned on the earth, but they were as approachable as flowing water. Both fire and wind are treasures in life, and people rely on the power of nature to grow Reproduction. The Drusus family was one of the most powerful families at that time. They were powerful and tried to become kings.

Also thousands of years ago, the land under our feet was not called the State of Fire and Wind.At that time, this mountain land belonged to UFO State, which was the territory of the Marcius family.They are cunning, greedy, and ambitious, and they live in the dark underground, because the UFO State has wonderful power.Things can only exist stably below the surface, and once they rise to the surface, they are empty like duckweed without roots. "

Gongsun Ce has never heard of the name of UFO State, and the United States does not have such a state.

"Such days should have continued until the saint came to the UFO state."

While talking, they stepped into the temple.At the very center of this ancient building, there is a burly and huge creature sleeping, its metal skin glows with a shiny silver light, its four thick legs are like the load-bearing pillars of the building, and its long nose hangs down naturally, like A slide for giants.It opened its eyes and stopped looking at Will, then slowly got up and let out a friendly cry.

The giant silver elephant seemed to be laughing when it barked, and Gongsun Ce guessed that it must have a good temper.He found the familiar handwriting on the elephant. This time there was no advice from the saint, and it started with a heavy monologue.

[Record my sins here. 】
