Volume 5: Return to Donghua Chapter 10 Clues
Qi Ji didn't know that the clever Qin Zijin was now safely outing in the primeval forest on Earth.
He was affected by the deliberately misleading words of the Ghost-Faced Gentleman before his death, and now he fell into a somewhat manic state, not knowing what to do for a moment.
After taking some time to recover his physical and mental strength and calm himself down, Qi Ji made a decision.
We still have to go to Xuancheng as soon as possible. No matter what the current situation of Qin Zijin and Yu Chengen is, we can only know the situation by going to the enemy's lair.
But now there is no airship to ride...
He could guess without going back to confirm that his airship that landed in Luoyeji must have been destroyed after he left.
But this did not affect his completion of the remaining 1,000 kilometers to Xuancheng.
He took out the Wings of Wind from Jianma's sword bag and put it on his back.
The next second, he jumped up with all his strength, and the ground beneath his feet exploded, leaving only a big hole.
And within a few seconds, he used his terrifying jumping ability to rise to a height of two hundred meters.
Then he silently calibrated the direction, leaned forward towards Xuancheng and began to glide.
Soon, his gliding speed reached about thirty meters per second.
It wasn’t fast enough, and the height of two hundred meters wouldn’t allow him to glide for long.
Qi Ji thought calmly in the air, then drew out the single sword that he had put away at his waist.
Although with his current strength, it seems that he cannot walk in the air just by relying on physical strength.
However, wind wings are props that use air currents to rise and glide.
And manipulating airflow should be one of his best abilities at the moment.
Thinking of this, he held the single sword horizontally in front of him, gently stroked the blade with his sword finger, and began to concentrate on mobilizing the extraordinary factor.
The next moment, he lightly slashed forward with his sword.
In an instant, a strong wind blew up, and a huge thrust acted violently on him from below and behind.
The Wings of Wind were extremely sensitive to air currents. They instantly used the sudden huge air current to carry Qi Ji soaring into the sky, and flew towards the direction adjusted by Qi Ji at an astonishing speed!
Qi Ji smiled happily - this speed was not slower than that of the small airship!
…
A few hours later.
As night fell, Qi Ji, illuminated by the bright moonlight, was like a small glider flying at high speed in the sky.
From his sight, he could already see a huge city with bright lights standing in the desert several kilometers away.
That is Xuancheng, the largest city in the Western Desert.
The force in charge of this area is the "Xuan Family", which has been extremely low-key in recent years.
It is said that the Xuan family excels in unique mechanical skills. Of course, compared to the large-scale measures and war weapons such as airships that the real mechanical clans are good at making, the Xuan family is better at making some convenient little things.
In terms of combat power, although the Xuan family only has one fifth-level warrior with declining strength, it is indeed not something that ordinary forces can challenge.
What's more, in the desert and Gobi of the Western Regions, the resources are scarce and the climate is harsh. The seven major forces of the East China Continent have no interest in this place.
Since there is a force willing to take over and claim that they are willing to build a defense line here to resist foreign demons.
Then they would naturally be happy to see it.
However, not only Jiange, no matter which force had ever thought that the Xuan family stationed in the Western Regions would secretly collude with Mirage and even the foreign demons and become traitors.
Qi Ji did not slow down, he planned to fly directly into the city.
As mentioned before, the major cities in Donghua Continent have extremely strict management of extraordinary people, and basically implement the principle of strict entry and lenient exit. That is, if extraordinary people want to enter the city, they will be thoroughly checked at the city gate.
If an extraordinary person wants to sneak into a giant city silently, it is probably only possible if he has the ability to fly like Qi Ji and then descend from the sky.
Just like that, Qi Ji crossed the towering city wall, chose a sparsely lit corner of the mysterious city in the cover of night, and slowly landed.
After landing, he put away his Berserker Armor and all his identifying weapons.
Then he put on his cloak, pulled up the hood to cover his cheeks, and walked out into the busy streets in a very natural manner.
Contrary to Qi Ji's subconscious imagination, although Xuancheng was located in the center of the desert in the Western Regions, it was unexpectedly bustling at night, with bright lights and the streets full of caravans and pedestrians.
It is hard to tell at all that the ruler of this city, the "Xuan Family", would be a terrorist force that dares to join forces with Mirage to attack Jiange.
If it were an open and lively city like this, then it would be a little easier to achieve his goal.
For example - to get information.
Qi Ji pondered for a moment and thought of a good place.
More than twenty minutes later, he arrived at the busiest central city area in Xuancheng, and then stepped into a tall and luxurious restaurant.
To eat, stay overnight, drink and chat, people from all over the world as well as locals like to come to these most lively restaurants in the city to socialize.
Here, no matter which table of guests speak loudly or chat quietly, they cannot escape Qi Ji's amazing hearing. There is a certain chance that he will be able to find out some clues.
The largest restaurant in Xuancheng.
As you step in, you're greeted by the noisy and bustling scene of people drinking and chatting.
Seeing the bustling scene inside the restaurant and the popular yet not kitsch decoration, Qi Ji couldn't help but nod to this restaurant with a simple name.
Immediately, a waiter came forward, led Qi Ji to an empty small table, and promptly asked Qi Ji about his dietary needs.
"Sir, a serving of herbivorous dragon sauce pork, a bottle of ice vine drink, and a platter of side dishes, is that right?"
Qi Ji nodded, handed the waiter a gold coin (the purchasing power of which was approximately equal to one hundred yuan on Earth) as a tip, and finished taking the order. The waiter immediately left happily.
Qi Ji sat quietly in his seat, waiting for the food to be served while observing the interior of the restaurant. His ears trembled slightly as he began to pay attention to all the conversation sounds in the restaurant.
"Waiter! Bring me a large plate of meat! And a bowl of good wine!"
"Haha, Lao Zhang, let's not go home until we are drunk tonight!"
"It's freezing cold outside the city in this desert at night. How do you think Xuancheng can keep it as warm as spring inside?"
"Fifth brother, I heard that another batch of goods arrived in the evening. There are many tempting top-quality goods in it. Do you want to go over and broaden your horizons later?"
"I'm telling you, Lao Guan, it's not a good idea to stay outside the city at night. The beasts of extraordinary level will eat people!"
…
While enjoying the dishes prepared by the restaurant, Qi Ji silently listened to the noisy conversations, trying to find useful information from them.
I didn't expect that I would actually gain something from it .
The conversation between two people came from a private room on the third floor of the restaurant. Although they spoke in low voices and whispered close to each other's ears, it still could not escape Qi Ji's top-notch sound identification skills.
The more he listened, the more obvious the smile on Qi Ji's lips became.
