Everyone's goal is the core earth of the sea of clouds, the cloud zone.
The zone in the clouds is formed by the fracture of mountain ranges. The meteorites fractured by the high mountains and ridges still maintain the direction of the mountains. If unfathomable cliffs and abyss did not appear from time to time, it would be easy to mistake this place for land.
As the distance from the City of Exile gets farther and farther, perhaps because there is less and less dust in the universe, the starlight is extremely bright and pure, and the visibility is very high. Human eyesight can reach hundreds of feet away. If you observe the moving objects at close range,
Plants can be said to be in full bloom.
What surprised Zhao Yuan was that he never encountered any ferocious beasts along the way. Occasionally he heard noises, but only heard their sounds but could not see their shapes.
No one could find the reason, because Mao Mao and the others had no experience hunting in the sea of clouds, so they all had a black eye.
Because of the lessons learned from ferocious dragon sneak attacks, people keep a safe distance from the ground when they are on the road. Unless they need to borrow strength, they try not to walk on land, especially those dark abyss, which are the top priority.
heavy.
Zhao Yuan has been using "quiet" to search a radius of a hundred miles, and no trace of human activity has been found. However, Zhao Yuan vaguely felt that those people seemed to be approaching them. This feeling is indescribable.
, it’s completely an intuition.
More than two hours later, Zhao Yuan and his party approached the cloud zone.
After arriving in the cloud zone, Zhao Yuan discovered that the gravity of the land was getting stronger and stronger. The three kittens could no longer fly in the air and could only walk on the ground. Fortunately, the ferocious dragon with the meteorite tied to it was still suspended in the air.
In the air, it can be guided forward without spending much effort.
Although the plants on the ground are still low, they are becoming more and more lush. The thick moss is like a blanket on the ground, and the air is filled with the fragrance of the plants.
Because of the lush vegetation, the path was full of thorns and thorns, and the walking speed became slower and slower.
"Didn't you say there are a lot of ferocious beasts here?" Zhao Yuan asked doubtfully.
"Yes, that's what they said..." Huang Dong looked depressed. Originally, he wanted to rely on Zhao Yuan, the cosmic hunter, to catch more prey, but now, this plan seems to have been ruined. This famous sea of clouds area actually
There was no sign of the beast.
What made Huang Dong feel relieved was that he had hunted a ferocious dragon and would not return empty-handed.
"Hey, look to the east!" Xiaoping, who had just jumped into the air and pulled the corpse of the dragon, suddenly shouted excitedly after landing.
"What?" Mao Mao was very unhappy with Xiaoping's fuss.
"Qiong Shu, Qiong Shu, it's Qiong Shu!" Xiaoping said incoherently.
"Qiongshu?!" Mao Mao's delicate body trembled, and he looked at Xiaoping with wide eyes, as if he wanted to see clues in his eyes.
Huang Dong couldn't wait to jump on the corpse of the ferocious dragon, raised his eyes and looked up, and immediately burst into earth-shaking laughter.
Zhao Yuan also jumped on the body of the ferocious dragon, and saw a towering tree in the distance. The tree was particularly eye-catching among the low plants. Of course, the eye-catching thing was not the tree.
Tall, after all, but the Qiong tree actually emits a kind of gleaming light, which makes it appear that it is not an ordinary thing at first glance.
"What kind of tree is Qiong Shu?" Zhao Yuan asked curiously, looking at the three people's salivating looks.
"The leaves you ate last time were the leaves from the Qiong tree." Huang Dong's eyes flashed with fanaticism.
"oh……"
Zhao Yuan nodded.
At this time, Zhao Yuan already had a certain understanding of Qiongye and its wonderful uses.
Because of the unique environment of the City of Exile, there is a lack of edible green plants, and the leaves of the Qiong tree can not only easily supplement the nutrients needed by the human body, but also strengthen the body and allow the human body to adapt to the harsh environment in the universe.
.
Humans in the City of Exile can obtain basic Qiong leaves for free before the age of fifteen. Once they reach adulthood, they need to exchange prey for Qiong leaves. In the City of Exile, hunters are not the only profession;
There are many occupations, such as cobblers, shoemakers, blacksmiths and other occupations. These occupations are the basic social structure of the city of exile, and most of these practitioners are people who are not good at hunting. Their existence makes the city of exile
The city has become a complete social structure. If you want to exchange materials from them, you also need Qiong Ye.
Except for underage children, everyone needs to pay to get Qiong Ye. In the City of Exile, there is no free lunch. Everyone must make themselves stronger. The only result of elimination is death.
In the City of Exile, Qiong Ye is both a consumable and one of the most important currencies. Many people use Qiong Ye as a method of settlement.
The beautiful tree in the sea of clouds!
The ownerless Qiong tree!
Get rich!
Get rich!
The eyes of Huang Dong, Mao Mao and Xiaoping shone with fanatical light.
"Let's go...Brother Yuan, why don't you go?" Huang Dong urged.
"etc."
Zhao Yuan made a gesture of silence and looked at the majestic Qiong tree in the distance. He had an extremely dangerous feeling, which was as pervasive as mercury.
The silvery starlight scatters generously on the earth. The sky is so pure that there is no impurity at all. The starry sky is vast and deep.
Zhao Yuan discovered that the tall Qiong tree grew on a hilltop. The hilltop was not high, and the terrain above it was slightly higher. It looked like an undulating slope. What was strange was that the tall tree grew on the top of a hill.
What is incompatible with the beautiful trees is that there is no grass growing around the hillside, and there are piles of jagged rocks everywhere, like beasts lurking in the darkness. If you look closely, there are many large beasts among the rocks.
Skeletons and human skeletons are mixed in, which makes people feel inexplicably chilly.
“So quiet!”
At this time, Mao Mao and others also noticed something was wrong.
With the Qiong tree as the center, there was no sound for dozens of miles, just like a lifeless scroll unfolding under the bright starlight, there was a suffocating and maddening silence.
Among the bare rocks, there was an aura of death and a chilly air.
"There are guardians here!" Xiaoping's voice trembled.
"What is a guardian?" Zhao Yuan was stunned.
"I have also heard from people that there are many exotic flowers and herbs in the sea of clouds. Those things usually have some magical functions, such as making the body stronger. It is said that after boiling a kind of grass, you can apply it on it
On the body, the skin on the body will be covered with a layer of armor to improve defense capabilities. There is also a blue vine that can satisfy hunger. Just a piece the size of a thumb can go without food for several months. Some space hunters,
They will take some of them to the depths of the universe to experience, and they will not return for decades..."
After Xiaoping's explanation, Zhao Yuan finally understood.
In the sea of clouds, some magical plants are guarded by some ferocious beasts, called guardians.
Of course, in Zhao Yuan's view, the so-called guardian is just a term for human beings. In fact, those beasts are waiting around those magical plants, mostly because they use these plants as bait to wait for rabbits.
Qiong Ye is extremely precious in the City of Exile, and in this sea of clouds, there is such a big Qiong tree growing luxuriantly. It seems that the fighting power of this guarding beast is extremely terrifying, at least, it is terrifying enough to even the space hunter.
To the point of fear, otherwise, it would have been killed by experienced space hunters long ago. After all, this Qiong tree is so eye-catching in this wilderness, so eye-catching that no one can ignore its existence...
…
Eddie frowned and looked at the lush Joan tree.
Eddie is no stranger to this Qiong tree, because he has been here decades ago. For a few Qiong leaves, he lost three companions, and those companions were infinitely close to the cosmic hunters.
exist.
Behind Eddie, there was a young man with a big belly. The young man had a handsome appearance, but his eyes looked wretched, his lips were bloodless, and his teeth were uneven. At first glance, he was not a good person.
This young man with a big belly is not a simple man. He is Yan Shaojie, the only son of City Lord Yan, the Lord of the City in the Sky.
Yan Shaojie has been coveting this beautiful tree for a long time. Taking advantage of the fact that many masters rushed back due to the beast tide, he immediately led a group of masters to the sea of clouds.
This time, Yan Shaojie is determined to win. In addition to the help of the cosmic hunter Eddie, there are also five masters who are infinitely close to the cosmic hunter. The lineup is extremely luxurious.
"Shaojie, this tree has been growing here for thousands of years. It has its own reason. We can just pick some Qiong leaves. Why do we need to dig them away? Besides, if we dig them away, we won't be able to leave quickly and we will definitely end up with each other.
There was a conflict between the golden eagles in the sea of clouds..."
