Chapter 1497

Interspersed among the light-source rocks,

scattered in an orderly fashion, continuous and endless, as if an inverted city were hanging in the sky.

Looking at it this way,

the scale of Bandle City might be even more exaggerated than imagined.

However, the 'city' in the sky had no streets.

Although they were hanging in the sky, the Yordles living there should still be falling downward; there was no difference in gravity.

And Li Yao also discovered the reason for this architectural style.

In his perception, there were countless life auras—

they were all these petite Yordles.

And these auras...

there simply didn't exist any Yordles without power.

Even those young Yordles running and playing on the grassland had the energy of about a level-twenty ordinary monster.

With such strength, they could rely on various methods to get to the houses overhead without any danger.

But the strongest ones,

such as those guards guarding the city gate ahead,

as well as the aura exuded by the person in charge of the city gate above the gate,

were actually about the same strength as Poppy and Tana.

Tana hadn't lied.

Among the Yordles, she was indeed in the strongest batch.

It was just that there were many others with the same strength as her.

The truly strong ones

had all entered the Upper City.

Walking under the city gate,

Poppy walked up, took out a small bag, and took out eight gold coins to hand to the city guards.

That guard was about the same height as Poppy.

He looked up and examined Li Yao and the others for a long time before finally letting them pass.

It could be seen that

Poppy and Tana were considered celebrities among these Yordles and had credibility.

Otherwise, the guard wouldn't have let them pass so easily.

Mu Xiaoxiao breathed a long sigh of relief. "We actually got in? Tana? Are there many people here who are the same height as us?"

"Yes!"

"War refugees, there are so many countries underground, all kinds of strange things! I've even seen giants four or five times taller than you!"

"War again." Mu Xiaoxiao regretted asking.

The guard distributed a token to each person.

He said something, and the group was stunned, not understanding at all.

Mu Xiaoxiao could only bow to express her gratitude.

Poppy explained: "This is a token for entering the city; it can only enter the formation once. To leave the city, you still need to spend one gold coin to buy one."

"What a rip-off," Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. "And here I was thanking him."

"A rip-off? Poppy thinks it's quite cheap."

The group followed Poppy into the city gate. At the gate, there was a pale blue transparent barrier.

If one looked closely,

on the huge purple city gate, this pale blue barrier extended all the way out, shrouding the entire Bandle City.

"It's indeed quite a good deal," Li Yao nodded in agreement. He could clearly sense that the moment he crossed the barrier, a sense of inexplicable threat spread throughout his body.

Maintaining such a formation wasn't cheap.

Crossing the gate, it was a dim and narrow tunnel. At this time, there were many Yordles returning to the city.

Facing Li Yao's group of 'giants,'

they all just took one look and then looked away; there was no impolite staring.

"This is the city defense barrier, to prevent the flames of war from spreading into the city."

"Because of energy consumption reasons, the city defense barrier is only activated during wartime, but recently the Black Dragon God's activities have been very frequent."

"It must be kept on continuously to ensure nothing goes wrong."

"For this kind of consumption, they only charge two gold coins for entry and exit; they are actually always losing money."

Poppy was like a know-it-all, patiently explaining to everyone.

Everyone's attention was entirely drawn by the three words 'Black Dragon God.'

Seeing their expressions, Poppy knew that Li Yao and the others didn't know what the 'Black Dragon God' was.

"Poppy doesn't know how to describe them."

"Only that Poppy never wants to see them in her entire life."

Mentioning the Black Dragon God,

the excitement on Tana's face vanished instantly, her eyes filled with deep fear.

"A symbol of calamity—a calamity even more terrifying than war."

Poppy thought for a moment and summarized it this way.
