Chapter 619

~9 min read 1,623 words

Besides a larger skinless wolf, there were many ordinary skinless wolves.

Tristana and Poppy joined forces, cooperating tacitly, easily gaining the advantage.

But to completely resolve it, it would still take some time.

Kujo Mise raised her staff and casually threw two blessings over.

The two were stunned for a moment, then looked at their hands in surprise.

Then,

it was a one-sided slaughter.

In less than three minutes, the battle ended.

They quickly collected the teeth.

Tristana ran to Kujo Mise’s side excitedly.

Little master, there is more to this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading, it’s even more exciting!

"Are you a High Priest?!"

"High Priest?" Another term belonging to the underground world.

Poppy explained: "A High Priest is a profession that can bless others, can play a huge role on the battlefield, and is a highly respected profession!"

"War again."

The group set off again, and Mu Xiaohao asked: "Is there a lot of war in your country?"

"Yes," Tristana nodded silently. "Small wars are constant, and large wars are frequent."

"Poppy and I hate war; that’s one of the reasons we want to become Over-City people."

Poppy also said: "In the last two years, wars have become unusually frequent."

The subsequent labyrinth adventure went very smoothly.

Following the map, they soon found the last chieftain’s stronghold.

On the way, they also found a 'Treasure Room'.

Inside were a few bat-like monsters.

After easily resolving them, they got a spiritual plant resembling spinach.

Old Luo was overjoyed,

shouting that he must make it into tobacco!

Even if it tasted bad, it didn't matter!

Subsequently, they embarked on the return journey.

Returning in the labyrinth was simple:

as long as you walked toward places without monsters, you would definitely encounter an exit.

After walking through the labyrinth for nearly two hours,

the exhaustion on everyone’s faces became more and more obvious.

A bright light appeared,

dazzling like the sun in the darkness.

That was the light source shining in from outside the cave.

Tristana jumped off her white silkworm and walked quickly to the cave entrance.

She opened her arms and said loudly:

""

Poppy stayed quietly on the side, a faint smile on her face.

"Tristana is saying, welcome to Bandle City!"

"Tristana says, welcome to Bandle City."

The little girl in the team quickly ran over.

Even Kujo Mise couldn't help but quicken her pace.

Li Yao followed them forward.

The light became brighter and brighter.

After long exposure to darkness,

there was a comfort of sunlight gently caressing the eyes.

Li Yao knew very well that this was not sunlight, because there was no temperature.

His eyes gradually adapted to the light.

His vision cleared, and a giant tree that occupied his entire field of vision came into view.

The tree roots were intricate, stretching for thousands of meters; he couldn't see the end at all.

Standing on the tree roots were countless wooden buildings.

The architectural style was overall pale purple,

with many vortex-like markings.

Walking out of the labyrinth, there were many identical cave entrances around.

This was the rock wall on the periphery of the giant tree.

Tree roots broke through the rock wall and were placed everywhere.

Walking out of the cave entrance, they happened to step on a tree root about several meters wide.

This was the very front of the tree root, the narrowest and thinnest part.

One could imagine how thick and sturdy these tree roots were.

They all derived from the rock wall behind them, which was the Gloomy Labyrinth.

Outside the tree roots was a green grassland,

where Yordles coming out of the labyrinth were bustling about.

Directly in front was the gate to enter that giant tree,

which was the entrance to Bandle City.

A purple gate that looked like a palace.

"How is it, beautiful, right!" Tristana poked her iron cannon on the ground with one hand and touched Hearing Lingxin’s tentacles with the other, saying proudly.

Everyone was staring blankly at the scene before them.

No one answered her.

For them, this was a scene that only existed in another world!

It was like a reward after a tiring journey,

the sunset glow that could only be witnessed after climbing a mountain peak.

"Too beautiful," Mu Xiaohao couldn't help but murmur.

Shang Shang Yana ran behind them.

For this kind of scene, you didn't need to look back; the back view contrasting with the scenery was the best framing.

A faint voice sounded in everyone’s mind:

"Poppy finds it necessary to remind everyone."

"Although there is no access control at the city gate, entering too late might result in higher fees."

"If we go now, we should be able to enter the city before the price hike node."

"Uh..." Mu Xiaohao rubbed her small hands. "Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go in and see!"

They didn't have money that Yordles could use.

To enter the city, they had to rely on Poppy to pay.

Since the big boss had spoken, she naturally felt embarrassed to continue lingering here.

Everyone followed Poppy, merged into the flow of Yordle explorers, and walked toward the gate.

Li Yao looked up.

The light source came from the rocks hanging down from the sky, resembling stalactites.

In the direction behind the city gate,

even in the sky, many buildings were hanging.

Interspersed among the light-emitting stones,

they were scattered in a well-ordered, continuous sprawl, 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.

It’s just that there are no streets in the ‘city’ above.

Although it hangs in the sky, the Yordles living there should still be able to descend; there is no difference in gravity.

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 possessed energy roughly equivalent to a level-20 common monster.

With such strength, they could use various methods to reach the houses above without any danger.

But the strongest ones—

for example, the guards stationed at the city gate ahead,

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

were actually similar in intensity to Poppy and Tristana.

Tristana hadn't lied.

Among the Yordles, she was indeed in the top tier.

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

The true powerhouses

had all entered the Upper City.

Walking up to the city gate,

Poppy stepped forward, took out a small pouch, and handed eight gold coins to the guard.

The guard was about the same height as Poppy.

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

It was evident

that Poppy and Tristana were considered celebrities among these Yordles and held credibility.

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

Mu Mu Xiaoxiao let out a long sigh of relief: "We actually got in? Tristana? Are there many people here as tall as us?"

"There are!"

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

"War again..." Mu Mu Xiaoxiao regretted asking.

The guard distributed a token to each person.

He said something, but the group was stunned, not understanding a word.

Mu Mu Xiaoxiao could only bow to express her thanks.

Poppy explained: "This is a token to enter the city; it can only be used to pass through the array once. You need to spend one gold coin to buy another when leaving."

"What a rip-off," Mu 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 entrance, there was a pale blue transparent barrier.

If one looked closely,

on the massive purple city gate, this pale blue barrier extended outward, shrouding the entire Bandle City.

"It is indeed quite a good deal," Li Yao nodded in agreement. He could clearly perceive that the moment he crossed the barrier, an inexplicable sense of threat washed over his entire body.

Maintaining such an array is not cheap.

Passing through the gate, there was a dim, narrow tunnel. At this time, many Yordles were returning to the city.

Facing Li Yao and his group of 'giants,'

they only took a glance before looking away; there was no rude staring.

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

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

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

“With this kind of consumption, only charging two gold coins for entry and exit, the higher-ups are actually always operating at a loss.”

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

The group's attention was entirely captured 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 Tristana'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.
