Chapter 184
"You call this... a treasure trove?"
Looking at the huge city gradually descending in the sky, Ye Bai looked at the branch of life in his hand, his heart full of questions.
She had not expected such a big commotion before. At this moment, the city in the sky looked like a kite, and the branch of life in her hand was like the other end of the kite string.
This scene is not fantastic enough, but it is also too fantastical.
When it comes to the city floating in the sky, Ye Bai will of course think of the ancient dragon's city in the sky. However, the city in the sky has a distinctly rough architectural style, which is suitable for the size of the dragons. Even from a distance, it can be seen that the architectural style of the city in the sky is far from that of the dragon clan.
"Is this the city built by the God King?" Ye Bai couldn't help but ask.
"Perhaps. The city is still some distance away, so I can't see any information. But I can confirm that the God King's treasure house is hidden within it." The paper figure on the Tree of Life spoke in a subtly different tone than usual. Ye Bai could tell he was suppressing his excitement. "The other key is nearby. Let's enter the city first. Once we're close enough, I should be able to sense its exact location."
Ye Bai nodded when he heard this. The paper man had mentioned before that among the three keys, the key lies in the first two, and the last key needs to be obtained at the end. It turns out that the key is at the "door" of the treasure house.
Suddenly, the paper man spoke again: "The undead are approaching."
"Undead?"
The next moment, Ye Bai's sensitive hearing also heard the sound of horse hooves coming from far away.
If the Codex of Death is equipped at this time, with the characteristics of the 'Lord of the Dead', Ye Bai will be able to control the incoming undead, but she has not forgotten that when the queen sent her out of the dream last time, she mentioned that there would be pursuers with the breath of the dead and the power of light.
Now the commotion of pulling the treasure house is so loud that an entire city falls from the sky. Not only Ye Bai can see it, but those unknown enemies can also see it. The undead that appear here are obviously related to the trackers at that time.
If the Code of Death is taken out, even if it can control the undead here, it is equivalent to broadcasting one's coordinates in real time like a tracker.
The arrival of the God King's treasure house is imminent, and we still need to obtain the last key. If we delay in dealing with the enemy, it will be more trouble than gain.
Moreover, when facing the undead, Ye Bai does not necessarily have to use the Code of Death.
In the light mist, a tall knight suddenly appeared. The knight was riding a nightmare warhorse surrounded by black smoke. His whole body was covered in armor, and only the two clusters of soul flames at the position of his eyes were particularly eye-catching.
[Undead Knight], a high-level undead creature of level 60 to 70, is one of the iconic and powerful soldiers in the undead army. Its strength after transformation is determined by its strength in life, but it is at least an elite template. It has excellent physical and magical resistance, strong mobility, and also masters various powerful aura-type spells.
The strength of undead creatures will be weakened during the day, but for undead that have truly reached a high level, this weakening will not affect their activities.
When he was about ten meters away, the Undead Knight stopped and looked quietly at Ye Bai who was riding on the donkey.
Ye Bai, who was wearing the [Perfect Mask], did not move, and Ottophis, who had the magical power to make people ignore him, did not move either. No one would notice whether the paper man on the leaf of life moved or not.
After a brief silence, the soul flame of the Undead Knight jumped, and he gave up wondering why this nightmare warhorse of the same kind was so short. Then he seemed to gesture towards Ye Bai, conveying some kind of mental command that only existed between undead.
Of course Ye Bai couldn't hear this mental command, but she could roughly understand it, so she reached out and touched Ottophis's neck.
Ottophis blinked, understood instantly, twisted his butt and ran to the side with Ye Bai.
The Undead Knight sat quietly on the Nightmare Warhorse, the soul flame in his eyes flickered again, and he finally gave up trying to understand why this fellow was so stupid that he could not even get the direction right. Instead, he pulled the reins and continued to patrol another area.
After encountering the Death Knight, while running and looking at the city in the sky that was even larger than the current White Night City, Ye Bai had a new idea: "If I move, will it move with me?"
"..." This question really stunned the paper man. He had never thought about dragging the treasure house around.
After a pause, the paper man came back to his senses and understood what Ye Bai meant: "Maybe... it really will. Short-distance movement may not have much impact. Why not look for a nearby teleportation array?"
"I thought so too." Ye Bai replied, glancing at the two sets of 40 rare-grade source energy crystals in his backpack.
Three days ago, in Fort Saint-Lori, a fully armed army set out from the fortress.
The team crossed the suspension bridge, walked through the war trenches, passed through the dry farmland, and passed by the dilapidated shanty towns. From time to time, one or two frightened and curious eyes appeared from the low huts.
Under the gaze of these eyes, Kodos led the team, surrounded by knights of light wearing silver armor, mystics shrouded in red robes, and more than twenty huge boxes filled with unknown contents.
The most powerful army of the human race on this continent set out towards the giant city in the sky, and it seemed that they were about to launch a heroic conquest.
However, just as the team had been following the giant city in the sky for three days and was about to enter it when it completely landed—
"Lord Kodos... that city suddenly moved!"
Isn't it always moving?
When Kodos heard his follower's exclamation, his first reaction was confusion. Then he raised his head and his face suddenly froze.
The city had been slowly and regularly expanding, and they could even roughly estimate the time when it would finally land. But now, right under his eyes, Kodos saw that the city in the sky suddenly moved to the sky on the side in a very short time.
Such an obvious change means that it has moved at least thousands of miles away from its original landing point.
What was going on? Kodos was astonished. As early as when his ancestors discovered the arrival of the God King's legacy, they had arranged for a large number of undead knights to patrol the area, not sparing a single living person. Had they not noticed the abnormality in the city?
"hehe……"
At this moment, a nonchalant sneer came from one of the huge boxes that were surrounded and protected in the center of the team.
A force of light mixed with the cold breath of death was cast out from the box, prying the surrounding space, and a huge magic circle emerged on the ground of the team.
"Everyone stay where you are!" Kodos immediately ordered after hearing the voice of his ancestor.
The next moment, the space under everyone's feet changed, and the entire team was teleported to another place.
When they looked up again, they saw that the distance of the city in the sky had returned to what they had just seen.
The aerial city suddenly shifted in distance and was caught up by the ancestor's spell of space teleportation.
Kodos exhaled and ordered those around him, "Keep moving forward."
"yes!"
The army came back to their senses from the space teleportation and answered in unison, trying hard to restrain their curious gazes from looking at the huge boxes.
But just as the team was about to move on.
"Sir—" Continuous gasps were heard, and in the sky, the city appeared in another direction again like a moved canvas in the blink of an eye.
If you look carefully, this direction is the position before the last move.
It looked like the huge city briefly moved to another sky and then quickly moved back.
"snort……"
After a brief silence, accompanied by a cold snort, a magic circle appeared again on the ground under the feet of the army. The power of space pried and teleported them back to their previous position.
At the same time, Ye Bai was walking out of a teleportation array. The energy of a source energy crystal was consumed in two long-distance transmissions, but she still had thirty-nine pieces of the same quality in her backpack.
"What good luck! We found a well-preserved two-way teleportation array."
Ye Bai looked at the unfamiliar ruins and sighed, "Wuming, can you help me see if there are any other teleportation arrays nearby? I wonder if I can use up ten source energy crystals in the next two days. That should be enough to shake off those pursuers, right?"
"How did that damn thief manage to avoid the raid of the Undead Knights without using the Deathly Hallows?!"
"Trash! They're all a bunch of trash!"
In the dark night, Kodos stood alone in front of the huge wooden box and heard the hoarse roar of the ancestor inside coming through the coffin lid, causing it to emit a vibrating echo, making him wonder whether the ancestor would open the coffin and sit up from it at some point.
But if you continue to listen carefully, you can detect that the roar is accompanied by an indescribable sense of fatigue and weakness.
After all, even if the ancestor was a demigod and legendary wizard who had been promoted since the Dark Ages, no wizard would be able to handle the large-scale space teleportation more than five times a day during these two days.
And this is not a short distance. In just these two days, the distance they teleported added up to at least one-third of the distance of the continent. The fact that they have not been completely left behind by the city that is constantly and irregularly drifting is already a manifestation of the great power of their ancestors.
"Tomorrow is the end. No matter how much we try to move sideways, we can't stop it from landing!"
Kodos heard the ancestor's angry voice coming from the coffin and responded quickly.
Half an hour later, the sky brightened.
The huge and magnificent city in the sky was now infinitely close to the ground, and it no longer looked as illusory as before. It had almost become a solid entity, and it seemed that as long as you got close to it, you could actually step into it.
“Da da da…”
Kodos did not dare to delay and seized the time, leading the team in a forced march towards the city. They teleported all the way and hurried to catch up, and it seemed that they were less than a hundred meters away.
brush!
The next moment, the horses' hooves touched the flat ground, and everything in front of the charging team disappeared like a mirage.
Far away in another area, Ye Bai, who used the teleportation array for the last time, saw a huge city right in front of him after walking out of the teleportation array.
