Volume 8: Floating Under the Sky Chapter 17: Skeleton City
Killing dragon maggots is a greeting gift for communicating with dragon people.
Then, faced with this kind of greeting gift, the dragons knelt down immediately .
How could he not kneel? He was making a dragon hunting spear and building an air and space defense line, and he was so nervous that he almost wanted to die with his entire clan, but the man went up and was invincible and offered sacrifices, burning layer by layer without stopping.
The woman was even more ruthless, rushing in with a domineering attitude, the dragon maggots in the sky were directly exploded into countless pulpy body fluids. Even Bahamut in the distance felt the fluctuation of power, and the fluctuation of breath since ancient times was slightly disordered and had a certain degree of activity. This was simply unimaginably strong.
Of course, the dragons who were excited to find their savior didn't know about Li Lin's psychological fluctuations, nor did they know that he almost used the Eighteen Gold Medals to urge the Sealing Class to come and tie up Bahamut again.
There is no way. Most of the high-end combat power of the university is not nearby. Those who can take care of things think that Bahamut is just a piece of shit. It is not weak or strong, but it is not brainless and cannot communicate. The flesh and scales of Bahamut can be industrialized and mass-produced. Why touch him? Wouldn't it be better to tie him up directly? So no one wants to take care of him. However, if Bahamut is blown up because of Sally, it will be the fault of Sally and Li Lin. Li Lin doesn't want his 100% mission completion to be destroyed by Bahamut.
After repeatedly telling Sally not to use the Great Demon's breath to directly deal with the dragon maggots, Li Lin and Sally put on a savior's posture and were welcomed by the dragons to the inside of the mirror world. It must be said that this technology is really magical, just like walking into a world of opposite reflections, you can only attack the outside from the inside, but not the other way around.
After a series of complicated rituals and decoding systems by the dragon people, the barrier that defied common sense gradually dissipated and became reality.
The city built in the sky gradually showed its corner. The dragons in the city wall waved excitedly at Li Lin and Sallys, welcoming the heroes in their hearts with excitement.
"*&%￥￥#@!*%&…#&…*!@(*#&(@!!!"
“…”
I still don’t understand, maybe it’s the language barrier?
Li Lin and Sally looked at each other and found that the language they were using did not belong to any known system.
The dragons seemed to have discovered that there was indeed a gap in language communication. After using several completely unfamiliar language systems with each other, they finally switched to a half-baked common language.
"Welcome two warriors... to our city of ruins..."
"City of Debris?"
Not Castle in the Sky or something?
Looking at the welcoming old dragon man, it was the first time that Li Lin heard that there were people who called their homes wreckage.
Looking at the confused Li Lin and the angry Sallys who was banned from speaking, the old dragon showed a weathered but proud smile on his face.
"Yes, the great wreckage... We once occupied all the skies of this world... We were born with the ability to call upon stones, we were born with the ability to manipulate soil, we created great 'cities', and now we just live on their wreckage... It used to be the great Sky City, and now it's the City of Wreckage... To remind everyone that our world was not easy to come by."
"I see. But we came here with good intentions, and we want to discuss some things with you. Let's find a place where we can talk. It's not good to just stand here and talk. What do you think?"
"I understand, I understand, I know..."
The old dragon man forced a smile on his wrinkled face, bent over and walked towards the city gate that had already solidified into a solid entity.
Li Lin and Sally also walked into the city gate. Just by crossing the gate, it felt like walking into another world. Compared to the vague phantom seen at the beginning, only by crossing into the interior can you see the full picture of the city.
This is a city that floats in the sky completely by an unknown force. The huge three-dimensional city wall is like the edges and corners of a stone ball, overlapping and interlacing around it, creating countless protruding corners and curved surfaces, creating the maximum killing range and method. It looks like a sea urchin with larger spines.
There were not many active dragon people within sight. Each dragon person looked pale, thin, and malnourished. They walked towards one direction with weak steps. When they saw Li Lin, Sally, and the old dragon person, they often bowed respectfully. It seemed that these people had witnessed the attack of the two people. However, considering the abnormal changes in the eyes of some dragon creatures, it is not surprising that they can have extraordinary vision.
But what was worrying was that Li Lin and the others soon noticed a hole that ran across the entire city.
As if it was covered and twisted by something, a huge hole passed through the surrounding barrier and the interior of the city, and was aimed at the slowly rotating vortex outside.
It can be seen that the breath of Bahamut that broke the seal on this city during its heyday penetrated through it, shattered a part of the barrier, and then the spreading power broke the barrier of this world.
This state is barely doable for Sallys now, but it is still not something Li Lin understands. But no matter what, this is at least a god-level attack power. And because the affixes are destruction and resurrection, the most violent force tore the entire exquisite sky city apart, leaving only this huge skeleton city.
Under the guidance of the old dragon man, the surrounding buildings could see a corner of the once prosperous past. The dried-up square fountains, the soil and traces of plants climbing on them, some faded paintings, and the dismantled sculpture bases. The patterns on the ground were all uncovered, and the broken and colorful painted floor brought a bit of sadness to the city. The old dragon man did not say anything, but silently led Li Lin and Sally to a large building space.
"I'm sorry...you two...we can't find a good...place."
The dragon man barely managed an expression that could be called a smile on his scaly face and sat in a corner of the empty hall.
It seemed that all the abilities were used to fight against the dragon maggots. Everything that could be used to make weapons had been dismantled, and there was no decoration. Only the decorations left on the remaining stones proved that this place seemed to have been used to entertain guests.
But compared to the colorful fruits and meats on the pattern, there was obviously nothing left here. The entire race had reached the point of running out of ammunition and food. Even if the savior came, he would just numbly bring people here and continue talking. Looking at the old dragon man who seemed to be dying, Li Lin felt that his task might be a bit difficult.
After all, it is difficult to convince someone who is determined to die.
However, it does not mean that there is no chance at all.
Looking at the remaining gray-yellow color around him, Li Lin thought for a moment and then spoke.
