Chapter 545: Golden Country
Zhang Da was also a man of his word. He said he would not participate in the war, so he did. After he said what he wanted to say, he took everyone away.
Then he was condemned by his companions on the road because they were also within the range of the Soul-Calming Gong. Although not all of them were immobilized, many people were affected.
Perona asked dissatisfiedly, "Why are we staying here too?"
Zhang Da also laughed awkwardly: "Haha, unexpected, unexpected, the Soul-Calming Gong doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, you know."
"Hmph, you used to say Ye Yan was a swindler." With Perona's temper, she was very considerate of Zhang Da for being able to wait until he finished his work before complaining.
"It hurts so much..." Weiwei had been talking to Zhang Daye before, and was the closest to him, so she was affected the most. Fortunately, Zhang Daye just wanted to immobilize her, and there was no substantial harm.
"This incomprehensible sonic attack will temporarily affect computing power. If used as a surprise attack, it is likely to defeat Accelerator and even most esper users. However, due to its inability to distinguish between friend and foe, it is difficult to cooperate with esper users. Please stay away from your companions next time you activate your ability, or notify them in advance. Beep~ Misaka made an objective assessment of Zhang Tatsuya's ability and complained about what happened just now."
Uncle Long and Shark Chili also made similar suggestions. Only Ye Yan shook Zhang Daye's hand with tears in his eyes: "Finally, I'm not the only one who betrays my teammates ! Mr. Ye, keep up the good work and create more glory!"
"Go away!" Zhang Da also pushed the drama queen away, "Next, let's go somewhere interesting, and then find the next empty island."
Jackie Chan asked, "Are you leaving right after arriving? We haven't even thoroughly understood or investigated this place yet."
Altria agreed, "Yes, there is still much to investigate."
Zhang Da was sure that the investigations they were talking about were definitely not the same thing. He explained, "Because there is a devil fruit on a nearby sky island that is very suitable for Misaka, I am worried that it will be eaten if we go there too late. If you like this place, we can come back later."
After hearing this, everyone had no objections and curiously asked Zhang Da where he wanted to go in advance.
After they left, the sounds of fighting between the Shandians and the Sky Islanders rang out again.
Gan Ful himself didn't want to continue the war; he wanted peace. At this point, even returning the Island of the Gods to the Shandians wouldn't matter. Who knew if the Blue Sea Man's promise of non-participation would hold true?
And even if the Island of Gods is returned, everyone can still conduct various transactions in the future. The two islands are so close to each other, so there will always be communication.
But his subordinates don't think so. Today is their last chance to completely defeat the Shandia people. If they fail today, Shandia will have time to find the giant snake... then they will really lose the Island of Gods!
The warriors of Shandia wanted to persuade Waipa to retreat and wait until they found the Lord of the Sky, but Waipa was a straightforward man. The enemy had already launched a head-on battle, and his honor as a warrior did not allow him to flee without a fight.
He had come here for a decisive battle anyway, so what did it matter if the Sky Lord was there or not? The descendants of the great warrior Calgara wouldn't lose to anyone!
The sounds of explosions and shouts of killing rang out again.
Weiwei, who was about to leave, was a little worried: "Is this okay?"
"This is their own choice." Artoria spoke, her tone very different from usual. "Matters concerning the defense of the country cannot be resolved through negotiation. If I were one of them, I would fight to the bitter end, either completely defeating the other side or... dying in battle."
"Why is this happening..." Vivi couldn't understand Altria's feelings at the moment. She still believed that there could be a better way to solve the problem than war, but she just couldn't think of it.
Zhang Da could understand Artoria's feelings to some extent, but after thinking about it calmly:
All of Shandia's warriors together numbered about fifty people. Sky Island's God's Guards were larger than Shandia's but still less than a hundred people. It was hard for him to consider this a 'big battle'.
Although it may not be nice to say this, Zhang Da also remembers that he had seen group fights when he was in junior high school, and the scale of those fights was much larger than this.
…
"So this is what ' I saw ' means!" Jackie Chan looked at the two maps put together and suddenly realized.
Gaya Island in the blue sea is the lower half, and the half of Gaya Island in the sky is the upper half. The two together form the shape of a skull.
Before his death, Nolando once said, "I saw gold in the right eye of the skull," meaning that the Golden City is at the location of the skull's right eye.
Rui Mengmeng asked curiously, "What's in the left eye?"
"I asked Jin Erpeng to go over and take a look. It turned out to be an altar." Ye Yan said, "It should be the altar that the ancestors of the Shandia people used to worship the god Kasi."
Jackie Chan said, "That altar is probably more than four hundred years old. I'd like to go and see it."
Zhang Da also shook his head: "Believe me, you will forget about ."
"At least ask Jin Erpeng to take a few photos?" Jackie Chan said. "Remember to tell him not to use the flash."
Ye Yan made an OK gesture. He was happy to help Uncle Long. It was just a matter of a word, and besides, he was not the one running errands.
The Amber temporarily stopped at the coast closest to the skull's right eye, and had to walk the remaining short distance.
Zhang Da also released two Nan Nan Jian birds and let them play by themselves.
The two birds left with some reluctance.
The destination was very easy to find because the huge bean vine towering into the sky was the most conspicuous landmark. When everyone saw the Golden Country, they were all stunned.
The so-called Golden Town was not an exaggeration, but the entire town was actually covered in gold! All the buildings were glittering and dazzling.
Even though these golden buildings are covered with moss due to their age, and even though the interiors of the buildings are not entirely made of gold, it cannot affect the dazzlingness of the Golden City!
Is this what Shandora looked like before she was harmed by Enel ?
The Amber Tour Group fell into silence, everyone opened their mouths, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Tom's jaw dropped to the ground in shock, his eyes shifting like a slot machine, eventually turning into two dollar bill symbols. He thought for a moment, realized something was wrong, and then turned back to the Bailey symbol.
Zhang Da once thought that he would not be dazzled by "a little gold", but when an entire golden city appeared before his eyes, he found that he was almost reluctant to blink.
It is said that Marco Polo once exaggeratedly described the East as being full of gold, and now a city full of gold was right before his eyes!
Even the usually calm Altria was shocked by this golden city. "How prosperous must Shandora have been over a thousand years ago when it still existed?"
