Chapter 7: Sky City
Different from the mountains and forests, different from the wilderness, and different from the roads connecting different places...
This huge city is a completely different kind of spectacle, a place that seems to be full of order and special rules.
Scarface knew that things that were different from nature were also called "artificial."
Just like the huge streets outside, this huge city is also a "man-made building".
【Why is it called 'artificial'? 】
[What is a ‘human being’? ]
As always, doubts flashed through my mind.
For unknown reasons, Scarface and Longlang began to circle around the ruins of the city.
In fact, nothing here matches those streets outside.
This huge city just appeared here very abruptly.
Scarface could tell through observation that the street he had come all the way to was still extending outward, just like a river extending to the sea.
However, the huge city prevents the further extension of the street.
To make an analogy that may not be quite appropriate, it is like a huge rock suddenly appears in front of a river that is flowing normally, cutting the entire river in half.
This huge city plays the role of "the stone".
"This city... fell from the sky."
On the edge of the huge city, cracks are spreading in all directions.
The originally flat and smooth road became uneven because of the cracks and lost its original sense of order.
Scarface observed further and even saw that at the edge of the city, the city foundation was smashed into the ground more than ten meters.
It was obviously not something built along the street, but the city's original foundation.
“Will there be cities in the sky?”
Look up at the sky covered by clouds.
Something deep inside Scarface's heart told him that it was impossible for a city to exist in the sky.
But what Scarface saw made him doubt this instinctive thinking.
This instinctive thinking allows Scarface to skip the stage of general biological intelligence enlightenment and directly possess the ability to speak and recognize words, and even forms an established inherent thinking in his mind.
But this does not mean that Scarface will unconditionally approve of this instinctive thinking.
After all, although Scarface was born from Li Hao's corpse, he is not Li Hao's clone after all.
Birth of self, nurturing of wisdom...
Having gone through these two stages, Scarface has learned to doubt himself and to examine himself.
This is also an important reason why he was able to stand out from many of his peers and become a wilderness prophet.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
I don’t know whether it is Li Hao’s current form of existence or the laws of this dream world itself.
Time is meaningless to Li Hao at this moment.
He felt like he had only blinked an eye, and Scarface had already taken Ah Dai to visit most places in this huge city.
It’s an extremely contradictory feeling in terms of time perception.
Li Hao was very clear that it would take a long time to travel around the city.
But he felt that in the blink of an eye, he had already followed Scarface and Ah Dai to visit every corner of the city.
[Time... has no meaning to me now. ]
With this realization flashing through his mind, Li Hao clearly saw Scarface and Ah Dai coming to the center of the city.
It is slightly different from the "city center" that Li Hao understands.
There are no tall buildings or palace complexes here...
All there is here is a large sacrificial place that is similar to a maze.
At its core is the altar made of unknown materials.
There is also a large sealed container similar to a jar placed on it.
Because he inherited the dragon clan's heritage, Li Hao recognized the rune on the large sealed container at a glance - the Dragon Seal.
[Item: Sealed Pot]
【Type: Artifact】
[Quality: Legend]
[Function ①: A mysterious pot etched with the "Seal of the Dragon" has the ability to seal a certain special object.]
[Function ②: Able to strengthen itself by communicating with the power of the earth veins, and it is almost impossible to destroy it through normal means. ]
In the concept of the dragon clan, the "Seal of the Dragon" is equivalent to the dragon clan's exclusive writing.
But unlike ordinary words, the "Seal of the Dragon" itself possesses some kind of mysterious power.
For example, the "Sealed Pot" in front of you is engraved with "Dragon Seals" such as sealing, suppression, communication, earth, and strengthening.
Of course, in Li Hao's opinion, the inscriptions on the "Sealed Pot" are more like a sacrificial text.
The general meaning is to pray to the Ancestor Dragon, Mother Earth and the like.
I hope they can bless and protect the city where I live, seal and suppress the "sinful creature" in front of me, and let it suffer eternal pain.
To be honest, Li Hao was very curious about what was sealed in this "Sealed Pot" in front of him.
At least I've been following Scarface's perspective for such a long time.
Li Hao actually already had a rough idea of who the creators of this city were.
The existence protected by Zhulong...
Possessing a huge body...
The wreckage of a city that seems to be floating in the sky...
And the "Dragon Seal" that only the dragon race can master...
The above conditions and speculations lead to the conclusion that they point to the same race - the legendary dragon race once lived on this land.
Then the "sinful things" that are regarded as taboo by the dragon clan are even suppressed and sealed with the power of an entire city.
The things sealed in the "Sealed Pot" definitely hide some shocking secrets.
"What's this?"
Li Hao was still thinking about what was sealed in the "Sealed Pot".
Scarface here has already led Ah Dai through the outer maze and officially arrived at the core of this dilapidated ruins.
Different from Li Hao's perspective, Scarface looked at the huge altar with curiosity in his eyes.
If the city buildings outside are huge enough.
Then the altar in front of us can no longer be described as "huge".
Scarface couldn't even see the end of the altar.
Especially when Scarface wanted to climb the altar out of curiosity, every step here was a head higher than Scarface.
In desperation, Scarface turned his gaze to Longlang beside him.
“Woo!”
Faced with Scarface's undisguised gaze, Longlang could only let out a grievance.
Then, the four soft tentacles on its back tangled and twisted together, turning into two simple flesh wings.
"Well, that's a good kid!"
Nodding with satisfaction, Scarface climbed onto the back of the dragon wolf, and then signaled the other party to head towards the top of the altar.
