Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 116 City in the Sky

 Countries in the star realm generally refer to civilizations from the Milky Way as alien races. They are also called "aliens", "alien species", or "foreign races".

 The "star" here refers to the star realm.

 “Alien, stop!”

A voice came from the room.

Ji Xinghuo didn't want to show a guilty conscience, so he slowed down the silver-winged Pegasus and flapped its wings to hover in mid-air.

 He looked at the female winged man who gave the order. She had bright red wings and a petite figure. She was only over 1.5 meters tall and looked very young.

 Most of the Yi people are a matriarchal society and there is no marriage relationship.

 Every family is centered around a female wing-person who is the link between all family members, usually the mother and her many children.

  Female wingmen have higher flying talent than men, and develop earlier and faster. Therefore, they can easily suppress men of the same age, control most of the power, and generally have a higher social status than men.

 This wingwoman is obviously the leader of the entire team.

They saw Ji Xinghuo stop, and after approaching more than a hundred meters, they dispersed, forming a three-dimensional formation.

However, he has not shown any aggression for the time being.

Ji Xinghuo felt a little more relieved. He looked at the leading winged woman and said, "Good afternoon, all sons of the sky."

The winged woman's pupils showed a bit of surprise, "Can you speak the Celestial Clan language?"

“My Celestial Clan language is average, please forgive me.” Ji Xinghuo responded humbly, “It’s my honor for you all to understand.”

 The people's faces showed pride.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

 The winged woman laughed, "You have said it well, although there are still some flaws." She looked at Ji Xinghuo, "Earthling, where are you going?"

 She has recognized Ji Xinghuo's race.

Bloodthorn City is only more than two thousand kilometers away from Olympia. The Winged People living here naturally know about the alien races in the two star gate restricted areas not far from their homeland.

Earthlings are also human beings, and their appearance is very similar to that of many human races in the astral world. However, Ji Xinghuo's clothes and equipment still reveal his origins. Especially the compound bow on his back is completely different from the bows commonly used by humans in the star world. This is a manufacturing technology only used by aliens.

 “Yunxiao City.” Ji Xinghuo replied truthfully.

"Oh?" The winged woman's eyes lit up, "Are you going to attend the Queen's longevity celebration?"

Ji Xinghuo's heart moved.

Yuanshou celebration?

 He immediately understood something.

 The average lifespan of an ordinary winged person is about 40 years. One year is one quarter, which is equivalent to 1.85 years. There are two quarters in one astral year, which is equal to two years. Therefore, the 40-year-old of a Winged Man is equivalent to the 74-year-old of an Earthling, which is not particularly longevity in comparison.

 Each time life evolves, lifespan increases.

 Yi people who live to be 100 years old are called "Hundred Shou", 200 years old are called "Long Shou", and those who live to 500 years old are called "Yuan Shou", which is second only to the "Tian Shou" of living to 1,000 years old.

 To live to a long life is the highest pursuit of life for all Yi people, and to die without regrets.

 Tianshou is equal to 1850 years on Earth.

 Yuanshou is only half of Tianshou, which is 925 years.

Ji Xinghuo remembered that it was written in the history textbook that Queen Lingqi, the supreme ruler of the Tianyu Royal Court, was already over 400 years old when the Star Gate was opened. After careful calculation, she is now exactly 500 years old, which is equivalent to the age of the Earth. 925 years old.

For such an important birthday, as a queen, she must have a grand celebration.

It is also the so-called "Yuanshou Celebration"!

The "person" who is suspected of carrying the fragment of the Vientiane Star Pupil came to Yunxiao City to participate in the longevity celebration of Queen Lingqi.

"Yes."

Ji Xinghuo reacted very quickly and nodded: "Your Majesty the Queen Yuanshou, I heard that Yunxiao City will hold many celebrations and all races are welcome to come and pay their respects, so I want to go see the world and add a bit of excitement to the Queen's celebration. I wish the Queen longevity and health!"

Tianshou Yongkang, this is the best blessing among the wings, which is equivalent to the endless life on the earth.

 Hearing Ji Xinghuo's words, the Wings all put down their guard.

 “You are determined.”

The female wingman's tone softened, with regret on her face, "I also want to go to Yunxiao City, but it's a pity that I can't leave because of my duty."

“As long as you pray for the Queen, even if you haven’t arrived at Yunxiao City, you are still participating in the longevity celebration.” Ji Xinghuo said with a smile.

 His university major is Tian Clan Language, so he knows the festival customs of Yi people quite well.

"You're right." The winged woman nodded happily, "Earthling, I won't delay you, just do as you please."

"May the wind protect you." Ji Xinghuo saluted with his right hand and made a gentle gesture.

 “May the wind protect you.” Several winged men responded in unison.

Ji Xinghuo was about to leave after greeting her, when the winged woman suddenly said: "Wait a moment."

She took out a processed feather from the pouch at her waist, poured star power into her hand, and the feather shone brightly as if stained with blood. Then she raised her hand and sent out a gust of wind, blowing it in front of Ji Xinghuo.

“This is the bloodthorn feather of the Bloodthorn City Guards. If you meet my people later, you can show it to them and they won’t embarrass you. However, it can only last for ten days.”

Ji Xinghuo caught the feather and said gratefully, "I wonder if I will be lucky enough to know your name."

 “My name is Qian Ling.”

 “Thank you Qian Lingwei Si for the token, it helped me a lot.”

Ji Xinghuo expressed his sincere thanks. He had already seen that this winged woman's status in the Bloodthorn City Guards was not low, at least at the Guard level, and her strength was equivalent to the top group of super aliens.

 Qian Ling shook his head indifferently. After saying goodbye again, Ji Xinghuo pinched the horse's belly and let the silver-winged Pegasus continue to fly northwest.

　Until these winged people were no longer visible, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he knew the winged people well and resolved the crisis.

The wingmen of Tianyu Royal Court are not very friendly towards the aliens in Qianfeng Abyss Forest.

 They regard themselves as masters and are quite arrogant.

If you show a little disrespect, it is likely to cause a conflict. With his own strength, he is very confident that he can kill these eight winged men, but he will inevitably be hunted by Bloodthorn City.

Silver-winged Pegasus can't hide its tracks, and its speed is not as fast as the Winged People, so it's impossible to get rid of them.

 The most important thing is that it takes a lot of time.

Now that we have Blood Thorn Feather, we will be able to reduce a lot of trouble later.

On this day, Ji Xinghuo flew another two thousand kilometers and set up camp to rest in the middle of the night.

For several days, Ji Xinghuo flew over the boundless forests and mountains, trying his best to avoid hanging cities and tribes along the way and avoid conflicts and battles. There was really no way around it, so he took out the blood thorn feather when he met the Yiren from the Tianyu Royal Court. As expected, just as Qian Ling said, the Yiren didn't make things difficult for him anymore.

 Six days later.

The twelve thousand kilometers journey was about to be completed. As he got closer to Yunxiao City, Ji Xinghuo slowed down.

 For the last thousand kilometers, his Vientiane Star Pupil interface continued to open.

 Always pay attention to the changes of the arrow.

Now, the arrow has expanded almost five times, and the feeling has become extremely clear.

Ji Xinghuo can even directly locate the opponent's position.

Although it has been determined before that the other party cannot sense the existence of the Vientiane Star Pupil, and this connection is one-way, Ji Xinghuo cannot guarantee whether an accident will happen when he is very close to the other party.

 The biggest fear is that the other party will also notice this connection.

The silver-winged Pegasus is still flying forward.

 The distance gradually shortens.

At around 500 kilometers away, Ji Xinghuo let Pegasus land, waited quietly for a few hours to confirm that the other party had not moved, and then continued to move forward.

 Every one hundred kilometers, he stopped and observed.

 Three hundred kilometers.

 Two hundred.

one hundred.

 In the last fifty kilometers, Ji Xinghuo looked ahead and could vaguely see a majestic hanging city high in the sky.

Yunxiao City!

The location pointed by the arrow was in the city in the sky. Ji Xinghuo looked at it for a long time, but there was still no movement from the other party.

There are winged beings flying over from time to time in the sky, and there are many villages and towns with winged beings on the ground.

 Not all Winged People live in the Hanging City. Only Winged People who have undergone two life evolutions or are born into noble families are eligible to enter the Hanging City. Most winged people live on the ground, in many villages and towns, as well as treehouses in the forest.

 The closer you are to Yunxiao City, the denser the Yiren settlements will be.

Eventually, a huge city with a population of more than 20 million was formed below Yunxiao City, which was called Yunxiao City.

Yunxiaoxia City has no walls and covers an area of ​​thousands of square kilometers.

A number of avenues extend from the city, leading in all directions. Most of the people traveling on these roads are races without the ability to fly.

 There are barren people, Dan people, highlanders, rangers, headhunters, etc., and there are many other strange races.

 Most of all human subspecies.

Ji Xinghuo had already replaced his ceramic armor and compound bow, put on a simple set of leather armor to cover up his alien features, and let the silver-winged Pegasus fly at a lower altitude.

Yunxiao City is getting bigger and bigger in the field of vision, showing its complete picture.

Even though Ji Xinghuo had heard about this peculiar sky city, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.

Dozens of suspended mountains are connected and fixed with thick chains, forming a huge floating island with a diameter of more than 20 kilometers, more than 5 kilometers above the ground, blocking the sky and the sun, casting a large shadow from the sky, looking from a distance , like a mirage, but it is real.

This city suspended in the clouds has a continuous line of exquisite buildings and lush green plants. Only the tip of the iceberg can be seen from the ground.

 Even so, it is fascinating.

 “It is indeed a city in the sky!”

  Ji Xinghuo admired it sincerely.

He saw groups of winged patrols taking off from Yunxiao City and flying around the city in the sky. As far as he could see, there were at least tens of thousands of winged people protecting the airspace of Yunxiao City at all times, with a protection range of more than ten kilometers.

These wingmen are the royal guards.

They are an elite army selected from the winged people. It is said that there are as many as one million in number. They are at least third-level winged people. They only obey the orders of Queen Lingqi.

Ji Xinghuo looked up at the city in the sky, feeling a little helpless.

The location pointed by the arrow on the Wanxiang Xingpu interface is in the City in the Sky. The distance between the two sides is less than thirty kilometers, and he can feel the guidance at all times.

 However, looking at this situation, how to enter the City in the Sky is a big problem.

 “Take one step, count one step.”

Ji Xinghuo let the silver-winged Pegasus land on the ground, and walked along the avenue, like an ordinary human race in the astral world, into the lower city of Yunxiao on the ground.
