Chapter 153: Getting Started
Long before coming to Thunder Ancient City, Tian Xian had been thinking about how to enter the city, this is an important destination, and almost everyone in Hank's adventure group said that they could find what they were looking for here.
So, that is to say, it is better to do your duty here and not cause any trouble, which is very disadvantageous to yourself, after all, you are here to ask for help.
Sneaking in, it's not a good idea, it's obviously not right to start being a thief as soon as you come, then it's better to have a good way into the city, and to be able to meet people who can help you......
These considerations, standing behind the huge gate of the Thunder Ancient City and looking at the huge mountain in front of him, completely dissipated without a trace in the blink of an eye, just like the wind blowing in the distance.
Tian Xian entered the Thunder Ancient City without any hindrance, and even Xiao Ash followed in, the huge city gate, even if Xiao Ash was twice as big, it could be unimpeded.
Only...... So came in?
Tianxian was a little incomprehensible, those guards at the city gate had not interrogated themselves at all, and even a giant beast like Xiao Gray ignored it, and after the "big face" on the city tower agreed, he was directly released!
Standing here, Tianxian was a little dazed.
However, the scene in front of him still deeply shocked Tianxian for the first time.
Standing on the ground and flying in mid-air to see this thunderous ancient city are completely different feelings.
As the terrain slowly rises as you approach the mountain, you can see almost all of this side of the huge mountain from here.
The huge gentle slope of this mountain is scattered like stars with countless ruins.
Tianxian's gaze slowly moved over the ruins. My heart beat faster, some of these ruins are just individual dilapidated houses, some are huge palace-like complexes, and the architectural styles seem to be very different, but one thing is the same......
Old!
Even from a long distance, Tianxian seems to be able to feel the heaviness of history on these dilapidated ruins, the decorations that are very different from the current human buildings, the strange shapes of those palaces, and those that have been eroded by wind and sand. Sharpens the water chestnut. Even the ravines on each piece of masonry tell a kind of heaviness of time precipitation.
Could these ...... Are they all relics of ancient gods? Tian Xian couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he thought of this.
And when you look at the giant anchor at the top of the mountain from the ground, it seems to be a giant pillar that supports the sky, and it is very oppressive and destroys your eyeballs. That's high. The anchor, which is almost reaching into the low clouds, seems to be about to tip down at any moment. Squash all of the qiē.
Among these starry ruins lies something very striking - human architecture.
These buildings are also large and small, and some are just three or two houses side by side. Some are tall minarets, vast castles, and the closer you get to the mountain, the less human buildings there are, and the more rudimentary they become.
Most of these human buildings are on both sides of a large road, which leads from the city gate to the mountain, and the road is extremely wide, but there is not even a single figure on the whole road.
Tianxian was suddenly stunned, when he was at the gate of the city, there were obviously many people crowded, why didn't he see any of them now?
Looking back, Tian Xian found that after those people entered the door, they had already left along the road on both sides and along the city wall, they all looked a little excited, looking east and west with novelty on their faces, and many people's eyes still fell on themselves from time to time, pointing and pointing.
Tianxian realized that only a few people seemed to have walked along the road after entering the city, and the rest of the people did not take the road, so he immediately frowned.
What's going on here?
Tian Xian looked at those people, that kind of excitement, that kind of curious look, that kind of eyes that were fresh to everything...... How do you look at how to travel.
"Heavenly ...... Brother ...... Heaven"
When Tianxian was puzzled, Arion's weak voice came from behind Tianxian, "I've always wanted to ask...... You came directly to the Thunder Ancient City like this, did anyone greet you?"
"Greetings, no!" replied dryly.
Tu Ge was now injured, but he was able to stand on his own, and it seemed that there was no big problem, but Arion looked weak, and he couldn't wait to sit on the ground now, and after listening to Tianxian's answer, His Royal Highness the prince immediately rolled his eyes, collapsed on the ground like noodles, and groaned: "Brother Tian...... You're not kidding, are you going to just break in......"
Tianxian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he came to Arion's eyes and shook his shoulder, "You know what is going on here!
Arion looked like he was about to cry, and looked at Tian Xian pitifully and asked, "Brother Tian, you planned to come here early in the morning, don't you know anything about this place?"
Tianxian was a little embarrassed by Arion's eyes, and his eyes seemed to say: You don't even know what a little girl is, and you are still happily looking for someone to fall in love.
"Is there anything wrong here?"
Arion simply lay on the ground in large characters, and said resignedly: "I heard that you are coming to the Thunder Ancient City, but I was also excited for a while, this place, it can be said that everyone yearns to come once in a lifetime, maybe this can change fate, but I thought you had already made arrangements, after all, you were chased by the Blood Alliance and the Holy Spirit Temple, you shouldn't do anything you didn't plan, I didn't expect ......"
Covering his face, Arion sighed softly, "Brother Tian, you may be able to go in, but we may not be able to ......"
It's even stranger, "This ...... Can you make it a little clearer, I'm right here, huh...... I do know a little less, because the people who asked me to come here in the first place, they didn't introduce me much. ”
Tian Xian now thinks of the bold Hank, the gentle Fang Liang, and the Luna who is surrounded by a glimmer of light, but ...... No one in the party had told them anything about Thunder City, and their eyes were clear—you'll know when you go.
Thinking of these, Tianxian is a little helpless. These powerful people who travel the world seem to think a little differently from ordinary people......
Arion was helpless and asked, "Brother Tian, we are also friends in trouble, can you sue me, what are you doing here?"
Tian Xian naturally didn't come to find the stigma, but his own situation was not easy to tell outsiders, after all, there was no precedent for this kind of thing.
"Almost, I'm looking for scholars who study stigmata and some powerful stigmata inheritors, and I want to ask them something. ”
Arion's answer to the sky is not surprising either. Then he asked, "Then since someone introduced you here?" Do you have any tokens or anything on you, and do you want to give them to anyone here?"
"Uh...... No. Tianxian shook his head.
Arion suddenly deflated like a deflated ball, and said weakly, "Okay...... Looks like we're going to have a little trouble this time. ”
Sitting up, Arion looked at the huge friendless man on the mountain peak in the distance. Like a giant anchor for monsters in the sky. He said with some emotion: "This Thunder Ancient City." It's a ruin left over from the Broken Era, and it can be said that it is 100% the ruins of the ancient gods, huh...... Brother Tian, why are you looking at me. Don't you even know that?"
"Uh......" Tian Xian quickly looked away.
Arion was already depressed, "Well, since you don't know anything, then I won't explain anything, then I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it for a few days and nights, now...... Let's move forward!"
Patting his ass, Arion stood up, looked at the crowd behind him who were full of excitement but walked to both sides, and smiled: "It seems that we are the only ones today!"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Let's go!" Arion's eyes shrunk, pointing to the front of the avenue in front of him, "If we can get to the outer city, we'll talk about it then." ”
The view here is extremely wide, and the gradually rising terrain can also see the scenery in front of it very clearly, and looking in the direction of Arion's finger, Tian Xian saw that about a kilometer in front of this road, there is a group of buildings, like a miniature city.
Tian Xian felt strange in his heart, why did he go to that place first, but Arion had already raised his feet and walked forward, no longer explaining more, Tian Xian saw that he seemed to have an expression of "don't come to ask me for the time being", so he had to shake his head and walk forward.
After walking less than a hundred meters away, Tian Xian's heart suddenly moved, and he felt a slight tightness on his skin, as if an oppressive force was rushing towards him.
It was almost uncontrollable, and the reverse heart trick followed it, and the qi and blood moved retrogradely, and the power rising in the body suddenly made the sense of oppression outside the body disappear.
Tian Xian was a little surprised, the anti-heart trick is a method that he has cultivated since he was a child, and it has almost become his instinct to resist the enemy, and now it will actually operate on its own, so it can almost be said that the sense of oppression just now...... It's a hostile attack.
"It's already started!" Arion said slowly, his expression was already very strict, "From now on, we have to really enter the scope of the Thunder Ancient City, and if we can withstand the pressure, if we reach the outer city, we will be qualified to enter the Thunder Ancient City!"
Tian Xian was very curious in his heart, could it be that he hadn't entered the Thunder Ancient City yet?
But at this time, there is no need to ask Tianxian again, the answer has appeared clearly and clearly in Tianxian.
Although the pressure just now disappeared due to the operation of the reverse heart technique, Tian Xian didn't take a few steps forward, and a more urgent pressure suddenly enveloped his body again.
The reverse heart trick accelerated, Tian Xian's body warmed up, and a blood-colored halo floated on his skin, and this pressure also dissipated invisibly.
Tian Xian finally understood what Arion meant.
As we continued to move forward, the pressure in the air was gradually increasing, and the Reverse Heart Technique had to speed up, and the blood veins in the body exuded more and more power to resist the pressure from the outside world.
Arion had already stirred the stigmata, his body became blurred, and it seemed that he was also resisting the pressure from the outside world, but obviously, his steps were slightly difficult.
Tu Ge had been silent along the way, and now he was silently urging the stigma, and the invisible wind surrounded him, forming strange cyan light patterns.
Looking up, Tian Xian found that Xiao Ash's eyes were a little solemn, and he had lost the strength of the joy just now, and the pressure from the outside world seemed to make it very uncomfortable, but it seemed that it could stand up, and the pace of walking was not slow.
What surprised Tianxian was the snow.
Xue sat in the front of Ash's back, and Tian Xian could clearly see that she was sitting there naturally, completely unaffected by the pressure coming from all directions.
Even...... Snow didn't use the power of the ethereal spirit to protect herself.
Tianxian's golden eyes saw very clearly, around this Thunder Ancient City, the power of the ethereal spirit was very weak, and the condensed ethereal spirit was not a single one.
Xue sat there quietly, her eyes looking at Tianxian most of the time, occasionally showing a soft smile, and the pressure in the air gradually increased, as if she completely ignored her.
From the location of Tianxian to the tooth city, the distance is only about a thousand meters.
But when they walked 500 meters, it took more than 20 minutes for Tianxian and his group.
The more you walked forward, the more pressure in the air became, and Tian Xian felt as if he was not taking a step forward, but sliding into the deep water little by little, and the pressure that was squeezing in from all directions was simply endless.
Arion seemed to be unable to hold on, his stigma had been pushed to the extreme, his body had almost fallen into a state of complete transparency, if it weren't for the undisguised things here, he walked beside Tian Xian, it would be difficult for Tian Xian to find him.
But even so, Arion's steps were already very difficult, his breathing was rapid, and his body began to shake.
The condition of the rest of the people is fine, Tu Ge's face is expressionless, but it seems that it can hold on, Xiao Gray's eyes are a little annoyed, but judging from its irritable low roar and heavier and heavier footsteps, although the pressure in the air makes it extremely uncomfortable, it still can't stop it from moving forward.
Tianxian's anti-heart trick is speeding up, the blood-colored halo on the body has been obvious, and the pressure from the outside world is not too much, and the snow is still sitting there, unaware of the pressure around him.
Finally, after a distance of more than a hundred meters, Arion stood still, and the stigmata broke in an instant, as if a balloon had exploded without a trace.
"Plop!" Arion fell to his knees, his hands on the ground, panting like a cow and sweating down his face.
"No...... I can't walk...... You guys...... Let's go!" Arion's voice was extremely harsh. "My stigmata...... Prop up...... I can't hold it here!"
Tian Xian didn't know where this pressure came from, but as Arion stopped together, the pressure in the air disappeared in an instant.
"Huh......" Tianxian also exhaled, and said with some surprise, "It seems that as long as you stop, it's no problem, let's take a rest and then go!"
Arion immediately shook his head, "No......! This power ...... will accumulate...... If you take a break...... I can't walk anymore!"
Tian Xian took a slight step forward, and suddenly felt the pressure on his face, just said a word just now, and the pressure in the air was immediately half a point stronger.
"Let's go, don't stop!" grabbed Arion's shoulder and pulled him up.
"No...... I really...... It's going to drag you down......" Arion finished speaking, and suddenly felt a stream of heat from his shoulders injected into his body, and this heat flow washed through his body, which suddenly reduced the fatigue by three points, and the flesh and blood all over his body seemed to come alive.
Arion looked at Tian Xian in surprise, and Tian Xian's hand holding his shoulder was emitting a blood-colored halo that was stronger than that on his body, and this halo even crossed to Arion's body.
"You?"
"Hmm...... Seems to be working!" Tian Xian smiled, "Let's go!" (to be continued......)
