Chapter 176 Outside the City of Heaven 1
Chapter 176 Outside the City of Heaven 1
E Ling, Mo Lin and Xiao Guai headed north.
According to legend, to reach the City of Heaven, one must first go to the Far North, where one can reach the territory of the City of Heaven by taking the ladder connecting the City of Heaven and the Orc Continent.
Fortunately, Xiaoguai had been to the City of Heaven and had some impression of the round-trip route. With Xiaoguai's guidance, it was more convenient for them to travel.
Moreover, since the system was upgraded, the species she could use increased greatly. E Ling controlled several fast-flying birds and beasts and let them carry them along the way.
A dozen days later, they arrived at the so-called Far North.
The climate in the Far North is cold. When it is already the hot season in the south, you can still see ice that has not yet melted on the rivers here, and the tops of the mountains are even dotted with endless white snow.
Fortunately, E Ling had the habit of storing things in space. When they were close to the Far North, she had taken out thick animal skins to keep warm. Otherwise, they would have been frozen and sick by the severe climate before they even reached the City of Heaven.
But they were lucky and soon found the ladder leading to the City of Heaven.
It is said that there is no specific pattern for the appearance of the ladder. Sometimes it appears every few days, and sometimes it does not appear for several months. Those who come here to find the City of Heaven but fail often cannot wait for the ladder to appear. They are either frozen to death in the extremely cold weather, or starved to death due to the shortage of food and water.
E'ling and her friends are considered lucky.
The ladder to heaven is very high, winding its way deep into the clouds with no end in sight. The soft clouds passed by E Ling's fingertips more than once, giving her a constant feeling of unreality.
Xiaoguai and Mo Lin stood by and protected E Ling closely.
"Sister, the stairs are very high, you have to be careful with your steps."
As soon as Xiaoguai finished his reminder, the steps in front of them suddenly made a rumbling sound, and rows of extremely sharp spikes suddenly emerged from under their feet, stretching across the sky in front of them, blocking their way.
Immediately afterwards, several thick vines suddenly emerged from under their feet. These vines looked like mutant species with mouths full of sharp teeth. They released murderous aura and rushed straight towards E Ling and the others.
"Sister, be careful! Back off quickly!!"
Xiaoguai said this and stood in front of Eling.
Mo Lin also rolled up E Ling in time and retreated.
"What are these?!"
Looking at the vines chasing her and the increasing number of thorns growing under her feet, E Ling couldn't help but ask.
Xiaoguai quickly cut off a few vines and said, "It's the ladder's mechanism! In order to guard against foreign invaders, dozens of mechanisms have been set up here, and each one is very difficult to deal with. Mo Lin, you must protect my sister. I will deal with these annoying things!"
But these vines seemed to be impossible to kill. As soon as Xiaoguai cut off a batch, new vines and branches quickly grew from the broken surfaces. Moreover, the new ones looked more ferocious and more difficult to deal with, and had stronger attack power.
Dozens of vines surrounded Xiaoguai. For a moment, Xiaoguai was unable to cope with the situation and had no time to take care of Eling.
Other vines surrounded E Ling. Mo Lin protected E Ling while dodging these vines.
But Mo Lin was soon entangled by the cunning vines. He was not careful and was wrapped around by a huge vine behind him. The vine with a bloody mouth attacked E Ling.
E Ling felt a chill on her back. She turned around and found a big mouth with sharp fangs facing her. E Ling quickly pulled out the knife from her waist and hit the vines that were attacking her.
The sharp knife went straight into the mouth of the vine, then turned around and returned to Eling's hand.
E Ling moved her hands slightly, trying to absorb the energy from these mutated vines.
The species that the system can now extract and manipulate include all kinds of plants. I wonder if it can be used to deal with these entangled mutant vines.
These vines seemed to have their own consciousness. They sensed the powerful spiritual power emanating from E Ling. They suddenly retracted their fangs, lowered their branches, and became very docile and obedient. Some even hung their heads and approached E Ling, looking like they had attacked the wrong person and were willing to admit their mistake.
E Ling was stunned for a moment, the contrast was so huge? !
It seemed as if these vines were showing goodwill to E Ling, curling up their branches and rubbing against her body.
E Ling tried to give them an order: "Stop, don't attack my partner anymore."
The vines that surrounded her actually nodded, and then the other vines that were entangled with Mo Lin and Xiao Guai all stopped.
Mo Lin was close to E Ling. He quickly moved over to protect her, his wary eyes fixed on those mutant vines that he didn't know whether they were friends or foes. "A Ling, you're not hurt, are you? Be careful, don't get entangled by them."
"It's okay Mo Lin, they don't seem to attack people anymore."
Some vines gently hooked her fingers, rubbed her palms with their slightly raised branches, and made some gurgling sounds, but she couldn't understand them.
"We are going to the City of Heaven. Please stop blocking our way."
E Ling wanted to pull back her hands that were gently wrapped around them, but those playful vines were unwilling to let her go. They gently wrapped around her wrists and rubbed her hands even harder.
E Ling looked at them in confusion and tried to inject a little spiritual power into them to see if they would be more obedient.
Her spiritual power seemed to be of great benefit to them. They twisted the branches on their bodies with great enjoyment, slowly let go of her, and even pushed her forward.
"Sister, why do these things obey you so much?"
Xiaoguai came over and checked her up and down to make sure she was not injured.
Listening to Xiaoguai's words that were full of jealousy, E Ling couldn't help but laugh: "You are jealous of these little things too? But I also find it very strange that the spiritual power in my body seems to have a deterrent effect on them."
"Hmph, I hate them..." Xiaoguai held E Ling tightly in his arms and made a face at the vines behind him, "Don't take this opportunity to remember your sister's scent and don't pester her anymore!"
The mutant vines that had just been friendly to E Ling showed their very intimidating fangs to Xiao Guai, but did not go forward to attack them.
"Okay, Xiaoguai, let's keep going. We'll soon reach the City of Heaven." Eling pulled Xiaoguai, and the three of them continued to move forward.
The spikes under my feet disappeared at some point, and the road leading to the City of Heaven was smooth.
Although E Ling encountered some blocking mechanisms later, as long as she released a little of her spiritual power, it would still have a deterrent effect. The closer she got to the City of Heaven, the fewer mechanisms there were, and in the end E Ling had almost no obstacles.
When she arrived outside the City of Heaven, E Ling realized that this was almost a world isolated from the rest of the world.
Here, many islands floating in the air form another plate that seems to be separated but is actually connected. The Sirius, the Divine Bird and other mixed races each occupy a plate, surrounding the Protoss in the center like a moon surrounded by stars, in order to highlight the supreme power of the Protoss.
There are clouds floating around the City of Heaven, making the surrounding atmosphere even more sacred. One after another, one cluster after another, the entire City of Heaven looks like a fairyland.
Unfortunately, now is not the time to enjoy the scenery.
The most urgent task now is to find Yin Chen first. They discuss how to meet the goddess.
