The Godsfall Chronicles Chapter 41: Swallowing Fish City
Cloudhawk, Autumn Drapers, the old drunkard, three big fishes carrying three people keep moving forward, riding the fish in the desert, it sounds incredible, it looks very interesting, in fact it is not as easy as imagined.
The environment of Death Shahai is too harsh.
It's a barren land like hell.
This place is ravaged by sandstorms all the year round. Ninety percent of the area is covered by sandstorms. In some places, you can’t even reach out your fingers. If you don’t wear breathing equipment, you may not be able to breathe normally. He would have suffocated halfway .
The biggest danger besides this is that there are extremely dangerous quicksand vortices everywhere, undercurrents surging, very strange, there is no regularity at all, a feather falling on it will also be curled by the flowing sand. Going in, even the powerhouse with high-level demonhunter strength cannot advance in this terrain.
The quicksand fish travel freely in the quicksand.
They are the native creatures in this area. They naturally know how to use the strength of quicksand to move forward, so that the speed of moving through the quicksand is even faster than riding a land mount or even driving.
But it takes half a day to swim, let alone quicksand fish, all of them are very tired.
The quicksand in this desert does not know what the principle is. In short, it will continue to flow, especially after reaching the depths of the sand sea, the undercurrent surging with abnormal turbulence, full of death traps one after another.
The wind is strong, the wind is as strong as a knife, the face hurts when the face is cut, the gravel is like an arrow, and ten thousand arrows pass through the body. A slight carelessness is life-threatening.
Of course there is no problem with the old alcoholic.
The strength of the dead old ghost is unfathomable. Instead of being affected by the wind and sand, he is drinking Shaguo wine all the way. Although Cloudhawk felt a little tired, there was no problem with resisting the sand with his current physique. Autumn Drapers's strength is weak and enough choked. It was totally deprived of Cloudhawk to hold the book of sand. She provided intermittent shelter in the middle, allowing her to keep breathing time. With perseverance and stubbornness, she finally managed to sustain it until now.
Cloudhawk is a little worried.
Autumn Drapers has been overdrawn physically and I am afraid it will not last long.
Even if even the quicksand fish have been swimming rapidly for most of the day, they are now very tired. If this trend is followed, the first-ever sand fish will die out of exhaustion or what other accident will happen? Don't you want to be trapped here alive! Even if the old drunkard falls into the quicksand, he has no ability to get up!
At this time.
Something appeared before.
First of all, Oddball issued a reminder that a hazy outline appeared in its field of vision, like a high mountain standing in the center of endless quicksand. Because the visibility of the field of view is very low, ordinary people can’t see it, even the Oddball only A fuzzy outline can be seen.
Dangerous quicksand whirlpools on the ground, wind knives and sand swords roaring all over the sky, how can mountains appear in this kind of terrain?
If it does appear, I'm afraid it would have been buried deep in the sand sea. Even if the wind and sand continue for hundreds of thousands of years, even the majestic mountain peaks will be eroded.
Is it a mirage? No, it's impossible!
A mirage can deceive ordinary people, and absolutely cannot deceive Oddball.
Cloudhawk shouted to Autumn Drapers: "Hold on, we seem to be almost there."
Autumn Drapers were all shocked, and the old drunkard narrowed his eyes, but before they could see the outline in the sand, they suddenly saw a few figures leaping from the left and right. When they looked over vigilantly, they all opened their eyes wide, and many big fish appeared from the quicksand advancing.
One, two, three.
The wind and sand weakened sharply, and the vision quickly became clear.
Cloudhawk was surprised to find that more and more quicksand fish appeared in all directions, increasing from one or two to seven or eight. In the end, dozens of such large quicksand fish appeared in the field of vision, and at the same time, the mountains had reached the naked eye. To the extent that they can be seen, some fish carry people on them, while others only carry goods.
The mountains in the middle of the quicksand ocean are undoubtedly the Fish-Swallowing City.
The mountains have been eroded by wind and sand over the years, and now they have become riddled with holes. The city dwellers cut through these naturally formed cavities and connect them, and eventually become a Wilderness city that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people living at the same time. Filled with all kinds of flying flags, people even set up heavy guns of earth cannons to attack Fish-Swallowing City with monsters lower than the dead quicksand.
Cities in Wilderness often move to avoid the blow from Elysian Realm or to avoid the depletion of surrounding living resources.
Swallow Fish City is also a mobile city.
How can the environment of Swallow Fish City be easily moved?
This is precisely the most incredible part of this city.
This mountain is always in a state of flow, and it always changes with changes in the environment.
It is difficult for outsiders to infer its trajectory. In the sandy sea where the sand is raging, even the most powerful tracking type demonhunter would never want to find it, so there is only one way to enter the Fish-Swallowing City! First find an entrance and route suitable for entering the desert, and then find such a big quicksand fish!
Quicksand fish seem to have lived in this mountain for generations. They have lay eggs and reproduced in caves at the bottom of the mountain for thousands of years. As long as they are domesticated, they can become a natural means of transportation, with high accuracy in Philadelphia and seldom getting lost.
No matter how the environment changes.
No matter how the quicksand changes.
No matter how the mountains move.
Quicksand fish always find their nests accurately like carrier pigeons. It can be said that there is no Skycloud City without quicksand fish. This has always been used as a means of transportation to Swallow Fish City, and it is by far the only reliable and safest way of transportation. , And most quicksand fish are controlled in the hands of Fish-Swallowing City, so there is nothing to worry about city safety.
Autumn Drapers feels the long-lost sunlight on his face.
She can’t wait to take off her breathing mask and panting. Although the air nearby is much cleaner, there are still a lot of divisions. She can’t help but sneeze twice. When she gets used to it, what’s in front of her The scene made her speechless.
Dozens and hundreds of big quicksand fish appeared in the field of vision, densely packed and mighty, like a thousand carps leaping over the river, rolling forward in the sand waves, rushing away from the mountains in the center from all directions, it is called the world A rare wonder.
The three people gradually came to the foot of the mountain, and finally saw the true appearance of the mountain. The upper and lower parts of the mountain's physical energy atmosphere have been highly developed. Almost a stone has been built into a natural-looking castle. And there are many holes in the lower half, hundreds of quicksand fish in all directions, right?
It travels hundreds of meters in the Big Fish Tunnel.
Autumn Drapers has never seen the outside world, and has a feeling of coming to another world. The structure of Fish-Swallowing City is a bit like an ant nest, and the entire city is built within the belly of this moving mountain. Blocks of huge rock walls and caves have been hewn into dwellings, and the simple suspension bridges are dissatisfied with the space.
The light inside is not dim, and the things used for lighting are not wood but fuel. The value of this kind of thing in Wilderness is not low, not to mention that this kind of local resource transportation is very difficult, but it does not affect the fish-swallowing city, because the lighting in the fish-swallowing city is lighting.
Is this the Fish-Swallowing City?
People come and go in Fish-Swallowing City, basically all dressed up as Wilderness people.
After entering the cave, the quicksand fish stopped in an underground lake and did not understand. It turns out that the quicksand fish will run wild in the desert because they hope to find the place with the most abundant water resources, the Didi under the Fish-Swallowing City. The lake is a great meal of quicksand fish.
"This should be a habitat for quicksand fish to multiply. There are thousands of quicksand fish in the lake, and there are also quicksand fishes coming in and out constantly. This is already a lot of transportation strength, this fish swallowing The city is really amazing."
Swallow Fish City is a typical Wilderness city.
The whole city is hidden in the belly of the mountain. The mechanical technology of the old age is combined with the unique ruggedness of Wilderness. So what you can see is that the walls and floors are covered with copper pipes of different lengths and thicknesses, cranes and lifting platforms are everywhere, engines are roaring, and their electric lights are hanging everywhere, making this unique world become It became colorful.
Cloudhawk said to the old drunkard: "Black, old man, the Fish-Swallowing City has arrived. What are you doing here? If there is anything I can help, as long as I can, I can help by the way. !"
"Come on, just leave me alone!" The old drunkard opened the last bottle of Shaguo wine, "You can't control my business, but it depends on you for the sake of buying me a drink. What is there about the fish-monger city? If you want to ask questions, just ask, as long as you can tell, I will answer you!"
Autumn Drapers preemptively said: "I am here to find a treasure. There is reliable information that this treasure is in Fish-Swallowing City. Where should we find it? Or where should we use it as a breakthrough? "
"The Fish-Swallowing City is the largest black market in thousands of miles. There is nothing that money can’t handle. If the treasure you said is really flowing in the Fish-Swallowing City, the most likely place it will appear should be the auction of the Fish-Swallowing City The scene." The old drunkard drank the wine as he spoke, "You can go there and try your luck."
"Thank you, sir!"
Autumn Drapers asked several questions in turn~IndoMTL.com~ The old drunkard really knew everything.
"Okay, I've said all that should be said, we'll leave it here long ago, I'm going to do business."
The old drunkard threw the Shaguo bottle away and limped away with a metal cane.
Is this gone? Cloudhawk wondered, what does this old alcoholic have to do with this city? But these issues are not that important now. The most important thing now is to find out the whereabouts of the Red Sect as soon as possible. In addition, Autumn Drapers also needs to be done. After all, Cloudhawk also counts on Autumn Drapers, this rich guy, who can scrape several layers.
"Okay, let's go too!"
Cloudhawk left the underground lake with Autumn Drapers, and the two of them passed the dock by the lake and took the elevator straight to the city. This unique desert city, Wilderness, finally unveiled its mystery and presented it in front of two people without reservation.
