Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 176 Heavenly Dragon City (Part 1)

The desolate region is currently an unknown quantity; Lan Tian and his group have not yet fully understood everything that has happened here.

The next day, Yi Mengying and Wei Ying began their experiment again. This time it took them longer, and everyone noticed that a strand of black hair had sprouted on the top of their heads, indicating that their mind control skills had been brought to their peak.

Their exploration of the servant's mind came again and again. Time slipped by quietly, and the process was so painful that it's hard to imagine what they went through!
Suddenly, the servant lunged forward, spitting out blood. A mouthful of crimson liquid sprayed onto the ground, and then his body began to tremble, with blue smoke rising from his head. He looked extremely terrifying and eerie.

Yi Mengying and Wei Ying were still controlling the servant, preventing him from reacting too violently, as being too intense would backfire. They were doing it slowly, step by step.

Before long, under the combined efforts of Yi Mengying and Wei Ying, the servant regained consciousness, developed a sense of self, and his eyes became clear.

"What's wrong with me! Who are you?"

"Do you remember who you are? Do you remember how you came to this wasteland? What did you encounter here? Tell us quickly."

Yi Mengying's efforts finally yielded some hope; the servant regained some clarity and remembered some things. However, he was still confused and couldn't remember what he had experienced or how he had arrived in the wasteland. Before long, he fell unconscious again.

The experiment yielded significant breakthroughs, but the seal has not been completely broken, and a stable solution has not yet been found.

We have seen hope, and we believe that we will soon find a way to break the seal.

This mission into the desolate region is arduous. Breaking the seal is only one part of the mission. More importantly, we must find a way to go to Tianhuang City. It is said that it is the center of the desolate region, the capital city, and the place where the biggest secret can be found. That is one of Lan Tian's ultimate missions this time.

With everything in Tianjing City under Luo Xi's care, Lan Tian and the others were able to focus on completing their ultimate mission with complete peace of mind. Tomorrow, they would set off for Tianhuang City.

Yi Mengying and Wei Ying also accompanied the team to Tianhuang City, allowing them time to strategize along the way. It remains to be seen what they will discover. At each rest stop, Lan Tian set up teleportation arrays to facilitate a safe return to Tianjing City and ensure a complete victory, preventing total annihilation.

The group traveled as a group of merchants, constantly purchasing various supplies and exchanging goods along the way. Most of the supplies they carried were transported from the Blue Card Continent and were highly sought-after items in the Wasteland, with demand exceeding supply!

This journey was also carried out under the guise of merchants, which made things much easier! No one suspected them along the way, and they passed through all the checkpoints smoothly. After a month of travel, the guide told everyone that they were about to arrive at a major metropolis—Tianlong City.

This is a city built on steep cliffs and peaks. Ordinary people cannot easily enter the city. There are cliffs everywhere, and there is no direct land route. You can only fly there. It is like a city in the sky. Only flying is the main way to travel. Otherwise, it would be impossible to move an inch.

When everyone arrived at a canyon, there were steep cliffs in front of them. The canyon was bottomless, shrouded in mist and never saw the sun. No one knew what was down there. It was mysterious and unpredictable!

Just as it was getting dark, lights began to appear on the opposite side of the canyon. Looking into the distance, the city was dotted with stars and brightly lit, exuding grandeur and magnificence. A huge capital city was presented before everyone, extremely prosperous and splendid. Even without seeing it in person, one could feel its prosperity.

It truly is a colossal city, far larger than Tianjing City. Moreover, it stretches endlessly, seemingly without end, likely composed of numerous hills and towns, forming a powerful urban cluster. It is the largest city Lantian and his companions have ever seen in the desolate region! Tianlong City is located on the only route to Tianhuang City. To reach Tianhuang City, one must pass through Tianlong City. While one can avoid entering Tianlong City, the journey will be much longer, taking several days.

In the end, everyone agreed to go from Tianlong City to Tianhuang City to avoid the hardships of the journey.

Moreover, everyone has been traveling for over a month and is exhausted both physically and mentally. They need to rest, so they decided to enter Tianlong City to recuperate and familiarize themselves with the city. This city is so powerful that everyone needs to understand it; there might be great opportunities here, and they might even find a way to break the seal!

Several enormous airships were moored on the canyon bank, facilitating the transport of goods and the movement of caravans. A small town had developed here, a ferry town. Many merchant guilds had established bases here, and the area was filled with shops, restaurants, and other businesses, a vibrant and colorful place.

Lantian discussed with everyone whether the NIO Chamber of Commerce should also set up a shop here for future convenience!

Indeed, finding a discreet shop as a base would be very helpful for future interactions, and everyone agreed. This matter was entrusted to Su Qi for full management. Once inside Tianlong City, a shop should also be set up as a contact point for future communication.

This is a good place for everyone to rest and relax.

The NIO Chamber of Commerce branch quickly opened in this small town. It was an independent shop with five rooms in the front and back, enough for everyone to rest and recuperate together!

Merchants come and go in this small town, making it a lively place. All kinds of goods are on display, many of which are rare and valuable items that have never been seen in Tianjing City. Various medicinal herbs are also readily available. This place is truly a hub for commodity trading.

A few days later, they rented an airship and entered Tianlong City to continue their journey.

Just as everyone was excited and about to enter Tianlong City, a strange wind suddenly swept through the canyon. It was extremely fast and had great destructive power. The airship shook violently, and the cargo on board was scattered all over the ground, scattered and rattling!
The situation is urgent, and danger is imminent.

"boom"

"Quick, hide! Don't move! We've been robbed by a monster!"

The guide loudly warned everyone. Giant flying monsters often appear here. They attack and rob cargo from ships, and even kidnap people to eat. Therefore, before entering the city, this place is very dangerous. The canyon is bottomless, and if you fall in, you will never return, and your body will be lost forever.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly hid themselves, no longer caring about the goods scattered all over the ground; their lives were more important!
A short while later, a group of enormous flying monsters crashed into the airship, and the cargo fell into the canyon, disappearing into the abyss in no time.

After attacking for a while and finding no food, the giant flying beasts all flew away. The airship finally returned to normal, but the cargo loss was severe; a third of the cargo was gone. Fortunately, everyone was still alive and unharmed, which was the best possible outcome. This relieved Lan Tian; as long as everyone was safe, the cargo could be repurchased. Overall, he was satisfied.
