Gu Li thought he was going to be taken to the east of the city, or somewhere else.
She didn't expect that after the two of them went downstairs, Gu Li would ride on Angel's back and be carried to the square in the city center, where the three of them stopped under the broken statue.
Eric stepped forward and tapped one of the flowers among the layers of blossoms beneath the broken statue with his cane. The statue suddenly trembled slightly and sank directly into the ground, revealing an entrance to a passageway that could only be passed by one person at a time.
Eric stepped back and politely asked her to go first.
Gu Li's curiosity was piqued. Did the king live in a place like this?
A basement?
As soon as her gaze shifted from the ground to the passageway, everything before her eyes suddenly changed. Behind her was Eric, who was following her. Gu Li stared in shock at the castle carved with mysterious patterns and silently took a breath.
Is this a mechanism or magic?!
Eric, leaning on his cane, walked ahead of her, leading her forward, and kindly explained to her, "This castle was originally a landmark building of the alien city, but after it became the king's residence, it was hidden away to prevent anyone from accidentally entering and seeing the king and further contaminating the city."
Gu Li walked along the road lined with candlesticks. The castle had probably been moved here by the king using some kind of power, so the magnificent castle, when viewed on its own, seemed to have a subtle sense of incompatibility with its surroundings.
This space has no sky; looking up, all you see is deep blackness. If you look at it for too long, you might even feel like you are staring into the eyes of something unknown.
She had never seen such a magical and magnificent sight, and she was so excited that she almost wanted to roll around on the lawn outside the castle.
The two entered the castle together. Gu Li unconsciously looked out the window and was surprised to see the scene of the alien city!
Gu Li marveled all the way to the top floor of the castle, accompanied by Eric's gentle explanations. There, Gu Li saw the completely blacked-out decor and the familiar power surging in the air.
She paused, unusually nervous. Eric patted her back and pushed her forward, then stepped forward and knocked on the massive door.
Two seconds later, the door opened silently, and faint footsteps could be heard coming from inside the room. Gu Li opened her eyes wide and saw a tall man in a dark black suit appear at the junction of the door and the corridor.
Gu Li was unable to describe what he saw in words, because it was a kind of exotic charm that was beyond human comprehension. His features were strong and handsome, and even a freshly opened scar on his jaw could not hide the handsomeness that overflowed from him.
The man stood at the doorway, his inorganic black pupils sweeping over the two of them. Something enormous was surging within the darkness behind him.
Gu Li blinked and mentally exclaimed, "This is simply the most beautiful woman in the real world mod!"
The next moment she saw a huge, opaque black arm emerge from behind him, surrounded by wisps of black mist.
To Gu Li's astonishment, the man grabbed her foot, lifted her up, and quickly pulled back. Standing at the door, he nodded to Eric and slammed the door shut.
Gu Li felt a sudden weightlessness, and then she was lifted and pulled into a large cloud of black mist. She went from being tense at the beginning to being helplessly hanging upside down in just one minute.
Because Gu Li discovered that in this darkness, an omnipresent power was slowly flowing into her body, and she was astonished to find that the power within her that she had always found difficult to mobilize was gradually becoming active.
A tearing sound rang out as the hospital gown Cecil had changed her into was ruined by Gu Li, who had transformed back into a flying lizard. She flapped her wings and broke free of the wrists wrapped around her ankles, hovering in the pitch-black space.
Using this body, Gu Li awkwardly asked, "...Is Your Majesty there?"
A tendril appeared silently behind her and lashed out at her wing. Her sky-blue vertical pupils gradually turned pitch black. Gu Li, who was already used to the darkness, hurriedly dodged forward, but was lashed away by the tendril that flew from below.
As she successfully dodged most of the continuous attacks, the wrists sped up again, once again turning Gu Li into a ball in the darkness.
Gu Li flapped its wings again to dodge the attacks coming from above, below, and the sides and rear, and finally deliberately delivered itself in front of a tentacle, where it was fiercely slapped away from the front.
In the darkness, she kept dodging and being hit, completely unaware of how much time had passed. She felt that when she was hungry, nutrient solutions would be thrown to her, and when she was tired, she would rest, only to wake up and be hit again.
Gu Li felt as if he were playing a long and tedious level-based game, where no matter how good you became, there would always be an even harder level waiting for you.
The level of trouble is so great that it makes you want to send razor blades to the game console developers.
When Gu Li saw the open door again, and Eric standing outside waiting, two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.
Ah, this light is really blinding.
She was lifted by her wings and thrown out. Eric, who was standing at the door, stepped forward at the right moment, took Gu Li, and lifted her by her wings so that she could stand on his shoulders.
This time, the king did not appear. Instead, a deep voice came from afar: "Take her to the underground street until she can control the pollution in her body and use starlight."
Eric's expression seemed hesitant, and he leaned forward slightly with one hand on his chest: "Yes."
After being brutally beaten, Gu Li fell asleep the next second after squatting on Eric. When she woke up, a box was placed in front of her, and the two of them were standing on a street with a banner that read "Do Not Approach".
Eric conveyed the king's message and handed her the suitcase, his face showing some concern: "Although I don't agree with the king's decision, I have to say he's always right. The king specifically instructed that this is your luggage. Go down this street and you'll reach the underground street."
Gu Li carried her small suitcase, her face still showing a bit of confusion, but also a hint of excitement.
Does Wang mean that she can find a way to use the starlight again in the underground city?
Filled with anticipation, Gu Li didn't see Eric's worried look behind her. Gu Li flew straight to the end of the street, where there was a city wall and a huge, dark pit on the ground.
Gu Li stood in front of the cave entrance, raised his foot with great ceremony, and plunged in with a leap of faith.
Three seconds later, Gu Li touched his chin and began to carefully analyze, just how far is this underground street from the top?!
