twin moon

Just half an hour ago, Qi Ziyin, Ning Yue and the others were following the hot springs under the ice to continue towards the city left by the ancestors.

When looking at it from a distance, the group of people hadn't felt the grandeur of this ancient city that had stood in the ice and snow for thousands of years.Under the mysterious ice, Ning Yue had to use secret techniques to light up a few balls of glowing light floating about three feet above everyone's heads for illumination.In this way, everyone walked closer to the city, but it became more and more unbelievable that everything they saw was actually built by humans——

Right now, the road they are stepping on to enter the city is several times wider than the official road built by any vassal state in the world today, and it is even wider than the Sun Moon Street in Yujing City, which runs from east to west and north to south, and is paved with marble slabs. The same mountains and rivers are much flatter.Numerous tall and thick columns like towering trees, combined with the structure of bucket arches to support the wide road surface, seem to have erected sky bridges suspended in mid-air in the city.

Due to the existence of hot springs, not only is there no ice and snow condensing on the road surface, but there is melted water converging together to form small and clear streams, which flow down the pouring road surface and then sprinkle to the ground from the pores on the road surface. It's like a series of waterfalls shuttling among the rocks.

This is not the only way to enter the city, but it seems to be the easiest way to go at the moment.To everyone, the city in front of them is like a dangerous mountain—although there are many criss-crossing roads between the towering land bridge and the square pillars.However, these roads have been completely destroyed by the ice for thousands of years. They are warped and cracked, with ups and downs, potholes and unevenness, making it difficult to walk at all.

And on both sides of those roads, there are low and high houses at random, like a dense jungle, covering the corners of the road ahead, and making the world under the ice darker in the night. It looks like a gigantic beast entrenched in the ground, with its mouth wide open, waiting for its prey to throw itself into the net.It seems that endless dangers are dormant in the darkness beyond the eyesight ahead, waiting for an opportunity to emerge at any time.

Walking higher and higher along the land bridge, everything under everyone's feet became smaller and smaller. Even the streets and alleys that looked rather dark and hideous before have now been submerged in darkness, and the details have been erased and faded away. A chilling fear.But above their heads was a thick ice sheet that was still so thick that even light could not penetrate it.

Then the scene that appeared in front of their eyes unfolded another picture scroll - in front of this road hanging in mid-air, there appeared many strange things that looked like tortoise shells.What grew under those strange things were not claw feet, but two pairs of four round wheels.The two big square or round eyes staring in front of the tortoise shell stared blankly at everyone.

Many of the tortoise shells have a large, straight opening from the side.Ning Yue stepped forward boldly, only to discover that there were several dilapidated seats inside the tortoise shell. They turned out to be strange vehicles without scales and yokes, and did not even know how to move forward.

Everyone turned sideways carefully, passing through these tortoise shells covered in snow and dust, but they dared not touch any part of them lightly, for fear that these things that looked like cars but not cars were not dead yet, on the contrary they were things from ancient times. He slept here, guarding this ancient city and the divine beasts of supreme power contained in it.Once awakened, it will tear the intruder to pieces on the spot.

Moving on, everything in the city became clearer and clearer.The skyline that used to be as tall as a mountain turned out to be countless thick stone pillars that stood taller than the land bridge under their feet like a cliff.They are far away at first, and can only be seen roughly.As the distance gradually narrowed, it unfolded on the sides of everyone one by one like a folded screen, majestic and majestic, cutting the walls with axes.

When they got closer, everyone realized that those square stone pillars that seemed to be carved from a single huge stone were actually buildings that could be used for people.Most of the windows inlaid with crystals have been broken, revealing the dark room.Qi Ziyin roughly estimated that just one such building can accommodate the entire population of any prosperous market town, and there is even a lot of surplus.

This place hidden under the ice is indeed the fairy city in the legend. In addition to the buildings, roads and vehicles that could never be built by manpower, the group of people also saw that it was as thin as bamboo strips, but towering into the sky. The iron tower, the giant snake perched on two straight steel cables, and the iron bird that fell to the ground and broke its wings.

"Everything here—is it really built by the ancestors? We are not dreaming, are we?"

As Ning Yue said, she jumped onto the half-collapsed parapet wall on the side of the land bridge, her tone filled with incomparable surprise and admiration, and she couldn't help touching her arm covered with goosebumps.

Even though she knew the strength of the Cangyu clan's cowardly power, after witnessing the magnificent ancient city in front of her, the girl suddenly felt that the power she once thought was unrivaled in the world was not worth it in front of such a miracle. Mention.

Now she is resting at the highest point of the land bridge with others.Facing the majestic scene in front of her, the restless girl couldn't look away easily, she just raised her arms and wobbled repeatedly on the wall that was only a few inches wide and narrow. It seemed that only in this way could she Prove to yourself that none of this is a dream.

Seeing this, Qi Ziyin's expression changed immediately, and he stepped forward and grabbed his companion's skirt firmly, telling her to come down quickly:
"Ning Yue, this is too dangerous!"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, if you fall here, you won't die."

The red-haired girl didn't take it seriously, and continued to shake while staring at the steaming lake under her feet.The lake reflected the stars and fireflies on the bridge that she lit with secret techniques, and the sparkling waves seemed like stars falling into the mortal world.

"Child's play! If you really fall, how can you climb up?"

As Qi Ziyin spoke, he forcibly pulled the other party off the low wall.Ning Yue also understood that the other party was doing it for her own good, her face flushed slightly, and she sighed softly:

"Ziyin, I'm sorry..."

"Ning Yue, what did you say?"

The boy in white was nervous and didn't hear clearly, so he turned his head and asked again.The girl on the opposite side shook her head and said seriously:

"I mean, in this vast ice field, I am afraid that there will be no second city like this. If this is really the goal of our trip, then the legendary ultimate power should be hidden." where?"

The young Ye Guogong pondered for a moment, then suddenly pointed to the distance with his finger, and said loudly:

"There—it seems to be the center of the city. The ultimate power is probably in those towers!"

Looking in the direction of the young man's finger, there are rows of buildings stretching out on both sides.And the road under their feet is like a winding river between canyons.From the gaps in the tall buildings, several white conical towers can be vaguely seen, pointing straight at the sky like spikes piercing the ground.The tallest one is particularly eye-catching.

The place under the dome of ice was emitting faint white steam towards the surroundings.And it was precisely under the fumigation of the white steam that the ten thousand-year-old ice above the tower was dripping fine and dense water.The ice layer there is also the thinnest, revealing a glimmer of moonlight from the ice.

"I have observed carefully along the way, and the hot springs under the ice originate from the depths of this ancient city. And the source of the heat is probably under that tower!"

"I—suddenly miss Mulu City—"

Looking at the distance, Ning Yue felt that everything in front of her was like the misty and misty capital city of Ye Kingdom in spring, as if it had been a rainy season that lasted for dozens of days without stopping. Suddenly, her long eyelashes drooped, and tears glistened in her eyes. Moved, "Why can't people stay in the best time of their life? Why can't they keep that pure happiness forever? I miss playing with you on Wuyang Festival on Zitong Street from dawn until dawn. It’s getting dark. I also miss picking shellfish from the sea in Xigang outside Baisha Camp with you. I also miss the fireworks on the Huaqin Pond during the New Year’s Eve, the blowing snow on the Yanjiang River at the mouth of the Yanjiang River in winter, and the snowstorm on the Jie Pagoda outside the city. The big and round bright moon, and the vast galaxy with countless stars..."

Hearing the girl's rambling talk, the young Lord Ye finally spoke after pondering for a while:
"...Perhaps, it is precisely because the happiness in life is fleeting like epiphyllum, so it becomes more and more precious. And everything we are doing now is to keep this happiness in our hearts more For some time. As long as we live strong in this world, memories will never disappear!"

"Ziyin, you always have a lot of reasons, and you can make people happy in an instant."

The red-haired girl was taken aback for a moment, then her sorrow dissipated, and she cast an incomparably bright smile at her companion in front of her.The two were about to continue talking, but they suddenly saw the little white fox who had been dozing not far away, rushing towards the girl, and jumped into the girl's embrace, with its little nose twitching rapidly.

Then, a cold voice drifted into the ears of the two from far and near:

"What a pair of desperate mandarin ducks. They are in a desperate situation and are in danger, but they still don't forget their tenderness and sweetness. They love each other. I don't know how that black-eyed kid will feel when he sees this situation?"

Qi Ziyin was startled suddenly, and turned around following the sound, only to see an extremely ferocious face climbing up from under the undulating bridge behind him.Behind him, there are hundreds of Peng Guojun in Kuijiao leather armor.

He thought in his heart that it was not good, and raised his hand to protect the girl behind him:
"Haunting! How did you find it here?"

"Even you can find this ancient city, why can't this general?"

Yu Li put his hands behind his back, smiled, and continued to walk forward without any scruples, "After all, our purpose is to take the legendary ultimate power as our own, so as to command the world and build a future. Immortal fame!"

"It's a joke, power should be used to comfort the people and save the common people! What kind of fame is it if you get it by killing innocent people indiscriminately!"

Qi Ziyin glared angrily, pulled out his Yin teeth from his waist, and his eyes seemed to burst into flames, "Today, I will seek justice for the countless souls of the Ye Kingdom who died tragically at your hands!"

"Want to fight with this general? You are not qualified yet!"

Yu Li sneered, and threw out two fist-sized iron bullets from behind.And one end of the iron projectile was wrapped with a twister that was as thin as a rat's tail, "hissing" and glowing like a poisonous snake!
"Ziyin be careful!"

Leng Jiayun, who had remained silent all this time, immediately recognized that thing, which was exactly the same as the Skyfire Thunder that had been used to attack her in the floating ice sea before.With a loud shout, she rushed forward and pushed Qi Ziyin and Ning Yue, who were the first to bear the brunt, to the ground.

When it was too late and then it was too late, Yu Li threw the two iron bullets in his hand towards everyone, and ordered at the same time:

"Do it! Blow them all to death here!"

The Peng Guojun who followed closely behind him also threw the iron bullets in their hands forward one after another.The fuse burned out, and the projectile exploded. The bursts of blue flames, wrapped in heat waves and countless fragments from the explosion, flew straight towards the people on the bridge who hadn't reacted yet.With just a flick of a finger, Qi Ziyin's subordinates were killed or injured.

Thunderous bangs came and went, and lasted for a long time, which actually made the seemingly stable land bridge tremble violently.The creaking sound continued, and even countless cracks appeared in the thick ice dome above the head, and ice cones as sharp as knives fell from the sky, as if a deadly icy rain fell on everyone's heads!

"The ice shell is cracked!"

The boy in white raised his head, only to see the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, and Yu Li's face showed a madness that he would rather die than die together.However, his voice was instantly drowned out by the exclamations from all around, and the loud noise of the ice cracking and falling.And the sky fire thunder made of blue flame mixed with black flame medicine is still bursting and burning around it.

At the same time, General Yan above the ice vault vaguely recognized those figures under the ice as his long-lost companions.Countless thoughts immediately flooded the black-eyed boy's heart, some were surprised, some were puzzled, and most of them were restless and restless.

Successive incidents in Suoyang Pass and Yu Jingzhong made him doubt the sincere friendship he once had.He has too many questions and wants to ask the other party clearly, but he is worried that the result he will get will make himself more painful.He even tried to convince himself that those people under the ice were not his old friends, in order to stabilize his mind.

However, how could he turn a blind eye?No matter how dim the light was, no matter how thick the ice was, the white clothes and fiery red hair could never be ignored.

But now, he could only watch helplessly as his companion moved left and right in the blue flames rising all around, with danger everywhere.

In desperation, Young and Han Ji waved Xiao Tianmo in their hands, and pried it towards the ice crevice where blue flames burst out.With a pry, the crack that was originally more than ten feet long and only a few inches wide suddenly enlarged under his feet.Accompanied by the endless crackling sound, cracks spread from the ice cap under the feet of the Red Flame Army like a spider web, and they could no longer maintain stability.And Qi Ziyin and others under the ice also quickly realized that the situation above their heads was not right, but it was inevitable.

Another bluish-blue flame burst out from the heavenly fire and thunder, illuminating the top and bottom of the ice dome like daylight.Blue flames burst out of the dome from the gaps, illuminating the ice brightly.

Jiang Yan suddenly heard a loud sound of shaking the ground.Almost at the same moment, his feet suddenly became empty, and the huge ice cap was completely disintegrated in the continuous explosion.

The chain reaction brought about by the loud noise and vibration caused the ice shells within several miles to shake slowly.More than a thousand Chiyan soldiers, together with shards of ice as tall as a person, fell straight into the dark space under the ice dome.The scene that suddenly got out of control was like a ghost state that had never been visited by humans for tens of thousands of years. Finally, they couldn't bear the uninvited but inexhaustible intruders, and sounded the final death knell for them.
