At this time, the 'boy' in Youhua's mouth was fighting with a group of translucent figures wearing Su Lie's appearance in a certain space.
Tianyang habitually did not use thunderbolts to clear the scene from the beginning. He used his speed advantage to play with these figures in the palm of his hand, making himself and them as if they were separated, so as to induce them to attack. And take the opportunity to figure out their attack methods.
Tianyang soon discovered that the attack methods of these things are very simple. They can teleport over short distances and can always get close to you at once. Then they will use their weapons to greet you. In addition to this hand, they will also emit dense black and blue light from the blue circle on their bodies. This is a medium and long-range attack skill, and the power is not bad, at least the tree guards It was scrapped after the last time.
But apart from these two methods, they seem to have no other tricks.
Moreover, they appear to be inflexible and have obvious rules to master.
Whenever these translucent things fail to hit the enemy after teleporting three times, they will definitely shoot with black and blue light. After the black and blue light fails, they will continue to teleport and then repeat their previous actions.
So it didn't take long for Tianyang to figure out their patterns of action, and when he was about to eliminate the enemy in one fell swoop, he heard his father's low voice: "Tianyang, stay back."
Tianyang didn't ask 'why'. He listened and obeyed, and his figure became blurry three times in a row. When those things attacked his afterimage, Tianyang was already standing behind the stone bridge, clearly separated from the group of things. distance.
Then he saw the flames!
The crimson flames appeared out of thin air and gathered together to form several pillars of fire, which connected and rose on the stone bridge.
When the flames extinguished, there were no longer those strange things on the bridge. Only his father Su Lie stood in the bridge, surrounded by the ground that had been scorched black by the flames.
But strangely, the scorched blackness on the stone bridge quickly disappeared. After a few seconds, it returned to its previous gray color, still full of cracks.
But no matter what, those transparent shadows that could transform into the appearance of other people have disappeared, and when those shadows appeared, the invisible figure that was behind them, dormant like a wild beast, also disappeared on the stone bridge.
Snowflakes were still falling, as if what they had just experienced was just a dream.
Although the experience on this bridge was almost without incident, it was because Tianyang and his son were already at level 7 and had rich experience, so they seemed to handle it easily.
If a low-level explorer accidentally stumbles onto this stone bridge, not to mention that the black and blue light emitted by those transparent figures is very powerful and covers a large area. It will be very difficult to avoid it in a limited space like the stone bridge.
Just the teleportation method is enough to give people a headache, not to mention there are so many of them. Seven or eight figures suddenly flash towards you, even if they scare you, they will scare you to death.
"Let's go." Su Lie stood for a moment and said in a deep voice when he saw that there was nothing unusual on the stone bridge.
Tianyang nodded and took the trouble to summon another tree guard to explore the way ahead, but then they did not encounter any more attacks. But when walking on the bridge, especially when walking into the middle of Mengyuan, strong winds will occasionally blow.
If the wind is strong enough, anyone with a slightly weaker body will be blown off the bridge in an instant.
Fortunately, both Tianyang and Tianyang were strong men of high rank. They used their own Xingyun to offset the strong wind, so they were not shaken by it.
.
In addition, they had already reached the middle of the bridge. At this time, they could no longer see the two ends of the stone bridge. They were obscured by the wind and snow, and it seemed that only the section of the bridge where they were standing was left in the whole world.
The father and son walked in silence. In this empty environment, Tianyang even forgot to count his own heartbeat. The road ahead was vast, as if there was no end in sight. Just when he began to feel impetuous, he finally saw the vague outlines of buildings.
After a while, they got off the bridge and stepped onto the snow again, and Tianyang felt a little more at ease.
After getting off the bridge, a little further forward, there is another ancient pavilion, but it is better than the one on the other side of the bridge. This pavilion has not completely collapsed, and there is snow piled on the pavilion.
There was a flat piece under the pavilion, and it was also engraved with some symbols that Tianyang didn't recognize. But when he looked at the symbols, he read them out naturally: "The reception platform?"
Su Lie looked over at him: "Do you understand it too?"
Tianyang nodded and said, "It's better to understand the meaning of those symbols than to understand them."
"This place is really strange. I don't know the symbol but I know what it represents. I don't know what it means."
Su Lie touched his stubble-covered chin and said, "I'm even more curious, why is this place called the reception platform? Who is being welcomed? Are they people coming from the other side of the bridge?"
"Meet us?" Tianyang shook his head, "I don't think we will be welcomed here, even if it is really someone coming from the bridge, it won't be us."
Su Lie showed no expression during the whole journey, and then he showed a smile and said, "It doesn't matter whether they like it or not, we are already here anyway, so we can't help them."
Tianyang nodded in agreement and looked ahead. There was a road in front of the reception platform, filled with wind and snow, running into the distance.
In the distance, there is the vast but extremely lonely building complex, a city half-covered in the wind and snow.
The father and son set off without a word, and the tree guards opened the way, heading towards the city along this avenue. Soon, they came to a huge square. The ground was covered with snowflakes, and there were stone monuments with pointed upwards standing all around. These objects were covered with light but fine cracks, and they looked very ancient.
In the middle of the square, there stood an extremely huge statue. Tianyang's field of vision could almost accommodate this huge statue. He could only focus on the upper body of the statue and the face of the statue.
There is no doubt that this is a bronze sculpture of a woman. She opens her hands and faces the sun, as if she is welcoming everyone who enters the square or the city.
She has a kind expression and a smile on her face, which makes people feel very friendly and want to get close to her.
But more importantly, this statue is exactly the same as the Feitian statue that Tianyang and the others saw on the bronze wall in the main hall deep in the Shadow Palace.
But now in this bronze sculpture in the square, the woman does not have many bones hanging on her waist, but is wearing a long, loose and elegant skirt.
Looking past the statue, Tianyang saw a vast arch. Both sides of the two arches were decorated with beautiful patterns. In the center of the arch's dome, bright starlight gathered and shimmered, outlining two strange and mysterious symbols.
When Tianyang stared at the two symbols outlined by starlight, he naturally read out a word: "Star Capital."
"Xingdu? Is this the name of this city?" Su Lie apparently also read out
After receiving the corresponding information, I couldn't help but said to myself.
Tianyang shook his head and said: "Star City... A capital city surrounded by stars? It sounds dreamy and beautiful, but now, I think it might be more appropriate to call it Snow City."
Su Lie looked around and said: "Perhaps a long time ago, this place was bright and prosperous. It's just that for some unknown reason, it became so withered and decayed now."
"But one thing is for sure, there is something still in this city."
Tianyang thought of the shadows when crossing the bridge and nodded.
After stopping for a while in the square, they continued forward, passed the arch, and walked onto an upward sloping avenue. On both sides of this avenue, there were gradually some buildings built according to the terrain.
At first, there were only one or two scattered buildings, but soon, as the terrain spread to the left and right, the buildings became numerous and dense, and an ancient and dilapidated city appeared in the eyes of Tianyang and his son.
In this city called 'Star City', there are only a few buildings still standing. Most of the buildings have long been turned into ruins and buried in snow. At a glance, the scene is desolate.
Tianyang and the others could only imagine the beauty of this city in its prime from the remaining pavilions and pavilions that were still standing.
There is no doubt that Xingdu is a huge city that should be able to accommodate a large population, and the buildings here, although strange, are quite beautiful.
Even though they are dilapidated, from the decoration of the buildings and some details, you can still feel how much effort the builders put into them.
In some buildings, there are still faint stars that seem to be extinguished at any time. They are still stubbornly and tragically existing despite the erosion of time, silently telling outsiders about the beauty that this city once had. and prosperity.
Tianyang and his son were exploring without any purpose for the time being. They saw everything wherever they went. After they passed a long broken wall with gaps in the middle, they saw a temple. It was generally well-preserved and a little bit dreamy. The starlight seeped out from the walls of the temple, and the light shimmered and danced in the surrounding air.
Snowflakes are falling in the sky and the temple is dotted with stars. This scene is indescribably poignant.
Next to the temple, there is a vigorous tree. Its whole body is dry, and the tree body is like glass. The dead leaves have a metallic texture. Three or five of the leaves exude little starlight from time to time, rising upwards and away from the tree. After a few feet, it gradually dimmed until it disappeared between heaven and earth.
Tianyang looked towards his father and Su Lie nodded: "Let's go in and have a look."
This temple has not yet collapsed, and there is still a lot of starlight floating out of the building. I imagine there must be some wonderful power maintaining it.
In this way, there may be precious things preserved in the temple, and it may be possible to obtain some information through those things, such as who built the city.
What does that female statue represent
The tree guard opened the way in front, and the father and son kept their distance and walked behind. Within a moment, they had arrived in front of the temple.
This temple is silent, small in scale and far from grand, but it has a distant feeling of vicissitudes of life. Right in the middle of the temple's gate, just like the arch at the entrance to Star City, there are also stars gathering together to form two symbols.
Tianyang looked at the two symbols and naturally understood their meaning: suffering and separation.
