MTL - After the Fairy Disappeared-Chapter 37 Chipa Plateau
Chapter 37 Chipa Plateau
"This thing is actually invulnerable? I have a bag of sunflower seeds here, do you want to eat it?"
"Come here." Although the wind and sand are very strong.
"Its weight is almost as high as that of an elephant. Hey, sitting on a human body with this **** can really make Xiang sit out! Dad, that unlucky ghost seems to be Nian Songyu's subordinate?"
"What is Xiang?"
"It's nothing. The national teacher did it! He threw two big fireballs into the enemy's mouth, and the toad hiccupped... well, it didn't seem to work."
After about a stick of incense, two purple gold toads were thrown overboard.
Compared to the majesty when they first jumped on the boat, their size has shrunk to one-fifth of their original size, from bloated to skinny.
He Lingchuan remembered that Sun Guoshi opened a hole in them, and then stuffed something into them. The two toads lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, became dehydrated, couldn't jump, and their eyes became more protruding.
Then they hang.
"Did you see it clearly?" He looked like he was dying.
He Chunhua shook his head. Since he is a national teacher, he must have extraordinary methods, and it is also easy to use these methods on people.
During the next journey, the team encountered two more monster attacks that were not afraid of the stench, but still only Sun Guoshi's ship was affected, and the other two ships were safe and sound.
Others lamented the luck of the national teacher, and rejoiced that the monster did not jump into their boat, otherwise they would never have been able to solve it so simply and neatly.
But Sun Fuping and the others frowned secretly.
Why did the three attacks target the national teacher? What does this mean?
Hurrying quickly, the team finally approached the destination before dark.
The herald on the Songyu boat pointed to the distance, and shouted to his companions on the two boats behind: "Panlong City is ahead!"
In fact, he didn't need to remind him. Everyone had already gathered at the bow of the boat to watch the most spectacular sight in the Panlong Desert—the Chipa Plateau.
This plateau was pushed up by force majeure countless years ago, and the difference from the flat ground under the feet of everyone is at least forty feet (one hundred and thirty meters)!
There is an unfathomable gully in the middle, which is as wide as six feet.
Here is like the dividing line between two continents, clear, clear and firm.
When the walnut boat arrived here, the boatman was very cautious in his operation. He used the bacon to hang the earth dragon, and went west along the natural moat.
It's over if you fall.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, the ancient city of Panlong finally began to grow larger in the eyes of everyone, and the outline of the gray outer wall became more obvious.
This plateau is too vast, and the vertical surface is like the cut surface of a double-layer cake, almost at a ninety-degree angle with the flat ground. The words desolation and grandeur are probably born for it.
At this time, the sun began to set, casting mottled shadows on the facade on the edge of the plateau, making it look like a giant beast lying in the desert, meandering and silent.
This kind of terrain is definitely a typical example of easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is no wonder that Zhong Shengguang has been able to hold on here year after year. Without such objective conditions as the basis, feelings and passion are empty talk.
Going forward, the altitude of the plateau drops gently, as if it is a long downward slope.
And Panlong City stands at the slope, firmly guarding the only passage leading to the Chipa Plateau in the south!
The boat slowed down, and there was a bridge flying north and south in front of it, spanning the entire deep ravine.
This is a natural stone bridge, connecting the land under the feet of everyone to the south, and connecting to the small open space in front of the south gate of Panlong City to the north.
If we want to attack Panlong City, I am afraid that this is the only passage, and ten times the force will not be able to defeat it. Looking at the stone bridge, He Lingchuan got angry for the allied forces of Xianyou and Baling more than a hundred years ago.
Later history proved, ten times? Ha ha!
The walnut boat sailed here, and the journey came to an end temporarily. The boatman picked the bacon off the pole and threw it to the earth dragon as a reward.
After running for two hours, the three earth dragons were so tired that smoke was coming out of their mouths. If it weren't for the natural stubbornness, the brains are smaller than the balls, and they always remember that there is always a piece of delicious meat in front of them, they would have given up their picks long ago.
Now that the meat finally entered his mouth, the earth dragon turned around and ran away regardless of the many prey here.
Everyone jumped off the boat, and Sun Guoshi came to put away the magic weapon. He recited a few formulas, and the big boat turned into a small walnut again.
Although the wind is strong and the sand is heavy, the air here is many times fresher than that on the ship. The soldiers who got rid of the stinky bacon couldn't help breathing heavily.
He Lingchuan tapped his toes: "Stay here, aren't you afraid of strange beasts or monsters coming?" Just like the two sides of Hongya Road.
Nian Songyu smiled: "There are rocks underneath, and the sand is less than half a foot. At most, a few centipede and sand snakes can be hidden. Are you afraid?"
He Lingchuan kicked away a layer of sand and found that the bottom was indeed a hard rock. That's right, if there were not strong walls on both sides of the ravine, the Tiansheng Bridge would have collapsed long ago.
Nian Songyu suddenly asked: "What's going on?"
He Lingchuan turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw several of Zeng Feixiong's subordinates escorting the two of them over.
These two struggled desperately. Although one was short and the other thin, it took three strong men beside him to hold him down.
The most peculiar thing is that they are all wearing a mandarin gown-like talisman clothing, which is actually two pieces of yellow silk that are put on the front and back of the body, and then fastened to each other, so as to avoid the trouble of wearing sleeves and collars. The vermilion runes on the silk flew up, slowly turning around the prisoner.
There is no doubt that this was originally Zeng Feixiong's subordinate. But the way they looked at everyone was strange, violent and greedy.
He Lingchuan has hunted before, and feels that this look should belong to coyotes.
"Possessed by the three corpses." Seeing them like this, Zeng Feixiong felt uncomfortable, "The national teacher tied two of them for observation."
The three corpses on other ships were all driven away, but Sun Fuping kept two.
Now he took the lead and stepped onto the bridge.
In fact, the bridge itself is quite wide, about fifteen feet (more than forty meters), but it is as thin as a toothpick when placed in the middle of the wasteland, above the ravine, and in front of Panlong City.
The thousands of troops of the coalition army back then probably had their hatred here, and there were countless times.
He Lingchuan bowed his head and saw the mottled color patches on the bridge deck. Obviously, it was stained many years ago, and it was layered on top of each other. After a hundred years, it still has different shades.
Walking on the bridge, it seemed that everyone could smell the pungent smell of blood.
This was the front line of the three-army war back then. Around this corner, there have been many battles going back and forth.
There are far more dead souls here than anywhere else.
Sun Fuping suddenly said: "This bridge appeared the day after tomorrow, it is not natural."
Nian Songyu stepped on the ground and said: "The material is indeed different from that of the wilderness. It should be made by the coalition forces of Baling and Xianyou."
Zeng Feixiong was walking beside He Lingchuan, and was amazed when he heard the words: "The stone has no joints, and it is one piece. Is this man-made? Besides, the sentinels in Panlong City are not blind, so they can let the enemy build bridges under their noses?"
