The system prompts that kept ringing in his mind finally woke up Su Ran from his deep sleep.
He opened his eyes, but only saw a dark night.
He moved his hands and feet and found that he had been tied to something.
The key thing is that this thing seems to be plush and feels extremely comfortable to the touch.
and……
This thing seems to be running in the wild.
Because he felt that he was bumping up and down on its back, as if he was playing on a trampoline.
"Where am I?" Su Ran said to herself.
Unexpectedly, someone actually responded to him.
"Don't move." The queen's voice came from beside her, "If you don't want to die."
Su Ran was still confused about what this meant, but at this moment, he saw several flying creatures in the sky.
At first glance they look like pterosaurs, but they actually have a swordsman riding on their back!
They have been chasing after the unicorn, lingering like ghosts.
Su Ran didn't know that several elf swordsmen who had originally left the city to escort Aimiye died at the hands of these dragon swordsmen.
"Those black-feathered dragons are all spiritual beasts cultivated by the Church of Thorns in the Dark City."
"The swordsman on the dragon's back is also undead."
"The purpose of their creation is to be used for war and killing!"
The Queen's voice is clear and steady.
"Dark City?" Su Ran was stunned, "But...I was clearly still in the Sky City just now..."
"The forces of the Church of Thorns have long since penetrated into the City of the Sky, and tonight is the day they officially launch a war."
"They opened the dimensional jump channel through soul sacrifice, and the two spiritual realms of Dark City and Sky City have been connected together."
As Aimi Ye spoke, she increased the speed of the unicorn.
"Then why are we running away?" Su Ran was a little anxious, "Has something happened at Leaf Castle now?"
Logically speaking, in such an emergency, he should fight side by side with my companions.
"Because their target is me." Aimiye said.
"Hey?" Su Ran's glasses widened, "What's going on?"
"I don't have time to explain to you." Aimi Ye shouted, "Sit tight!"
"?"
If you tie me up like this, it's hard for me to even think about it!
But soon, Su Ran knew what the queen was panicking about.
The group of black-feathered dragons suddenly swooped down and surrounded the unicorn from all directions.
The undead swordsmen also raised their swords, preparing to attack the two of them.
Three hundred and sixty degrees, attack without blind spots.
There is absolutely no way to avoid it.
"Is it over?" Su Ran sighed silently.
He originally thought that the Sky City would be a pleasant journey, but in the end he was so "lucky" to catch up with a war...
With just one glass of wine, the whole world seemed to have been turned upside down.
At this time.
Su Ran felt the unicorn suddenly jump up.
——It jumped into the air.
"?"
While Su Ran was still confused, she suddenly felt a strong sense of weightlessness!
He is falling from a high altitude!
Immediately afterwards.
thump!!!
They fell into the water.
"It's broken." Su Ran's eyesight went dark, "I can't swim while riding a horse..."
…
…
When he woke up again, Su Ran found that he was in an underground cave.
Although he was still tied up with several hemp ropes and couldn't move.
The tired unicorn was beside him, standing and sleeping like a horse.
"I'm still alive... This is simply a miracle." Su Ran couldn't help complaining.
【Please confirm the mission!】
The beep sounded again.
Only then did Su Ran remember this.
He found the NPC and the mission has been completed.
[Get the Supreme Copy Scroll × 1]
[Supreme Copy Scroll: An upgraded version of the copy scroll. After using this scroll, you will 100% successfully copy a sword skill on the target. 】
[Note: Being able to 100% copy the sword skill does not mean that the sword master himself can perform the sword skill 100%. 】
"...it's day, so is there a hammer here?"
Su Ran's mouth twitched.
"Doesn't this mean that I can only steal a very powerful and awesome ultimate move, but it turns out I can't use it?"
"hateful!"
"In that case, what use do I have for this ultimate move?"
"Such a ridiculous reward is worthy of you, Brother System!"
Su Ran cursed crazily.
At this time, a sound of water came from my ears.
Only then did he discover that there was actually a naturally formed underground hot spring in this cave.
At this time, in the mist, Su Ran could see a graceful and graceful woman taking a bath in it.
However, the beautiful and concave body was obscured by thick water mist and a light spiritual barrier. Su Ran could only see a vague and graceful figure.
The figure put on a robe and slowly walked out barefoot in the mist.
Her long, wet hair is spread to her waist, and her whole body exudes female hormones.
It is none other than the Elf Queen, Aimi Ye herself.
Su Ran swallowed unconsciously.
Although he still maintained a rational guard in his heart, one thing was that this woman was indeed too beautiful.
If it were placed in China thousands of years ago, it would not be an exaggeration to use the word "overwhelming country and alluring city".
"Do you want your expression to be more exaggerated?" Ai Miye said coldly.
"Haha..." Su Ran laughed awkwardly.
"Next time if you can't drink, don't hold on." Aimiye said casually, sitting against the unicorn.
Only then did Su Ran react.
It turned out that she went to take a shower because she vomited all over Aimi Ye and soiled her body.
"...I'm sorry." Su Ran said softly.
The two were speechless for a while.
Just at this moment, the system sound rang.
【Ding!】
[Target person detected: Ai Miye]
【Do you want to use the Supreme Copy Scroll? 】
Um?
Su Ran's eyes lit up slightly.
Does this female city lord, who seems to rely on her looks to make a living, actually know how to sword?
He originally planned to keep the scroll and steal Lin Kexing's Iai Slash...
But driven by curiosity, he still used the Supreme Copy Scroll on Aimi Ye.
[The target sword skill is being drawn...]
[Sword skill detected: Nebula Sword Song]
[Sword Skill Level:???]
[Copy success rate: 100%]
[Copy conditions: Keep a distance of 5 meters from the target for 72 hours.]
【Do you want to confirm the copy?】
…
Su Ran was dumbfounded.
He blinked to make sure he saw it correctly.
72 hours.
That’s right, 72 hours!
Three full days!
"I knew your broken system wasn't so kind. The old man is so bad!" Su Ran cursed crazily, "Three days is all... I've never been scared before!"
【Confirmation successful!】
[Start copying: Nebula Sword Song]
【Progress:71h59m34s】
…
This far-off day...
Su Ran was very helpless.
"Why did you come to me today?" Ai Miye broke the silence.
"Why did you bring me here?" Su Ran asked.
Aimiye was silent for a while again.
She tapped her knees lightly with her fingers, and after a long time she said, "Do you know the stars?"
"Stars?" Su Ran was startled, "You mean... stars?" He scratched his head, "The kind that light up at night?"
"No." Aimi Ye shook her head, "The stars I'm talking about are the seeds of the Xinghai Tree."
"Oh..." Su Ran nodded.
Of course he knows about the Xinghai Tree.
It is the tree of life in the Sky City.
If we have to make an analogy, it is probably equivalent to the World Tree in Norse mythology, Yggdrasil.
"The Xinghai Tree only has a lifespan of one thousand years."
"Now it is already in its twilight years."
"But the seeds of the Xinghai Tree will only bear one seed in its lifetime."
"If the seeds are taken away, there will be no new Star Sea Trees."
"The fate of the Sky City ends here."
Aimiye said.
"...So, the people from the Church of Thorns are eyeing its seeds?" Su Ran asked.
"Yes."
Aimiye nodded,
"Only with the seeds of the Star Sea Tree, they can even build a new Sky City and then bring it into the Dark City's sphere of influence."
"...So, where are the seeds of the Xinghai Tree?" Su Ran asked in a deep voice.
Aimi Ye slowly raised her head, staring at Su Ran with her beautiful eyes:
