I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down
Chapter 696 Doubt
"I hope so." Xiao Jie said softly, following Lin Chen closely.
They followed the bird across the lake, eventually arriving at the edge of a massive cliff. Atop the cliff stood a towering city—the City in the Sky. Constructed from massive blocks of stone and metal, the entire city seemed to float in the air, a breathtaking sight.
"Is this the city in the sky?" Arnold looked up at the city and was amazed.
"It's really spectacular." Leo couldn't help but admire.
"We must go in and find the Wings of Wind." Lin Chen said firmly.
Just as they were discussing how to enter the city, several armored guards approached. The leader had sharp eyes and looked at them coldly.
"Who are you? Why did you trespass into the Sky City?" asked the leading guard.
"We are here on the orders of the Queen to find the Wings of Wind." Lin Chen answered respectfully.
"The Queen's orders?" The guard's expression softened slightly. "Alright, follow me."
The guard led them through a narrow passage and into a huge hall. In the center of the hall stood a high altar, upon which was placed a feather emitting a soft glow.
"Is that the Wings of Wind?" Xiaojie asked, pointing at the feathers on the altar.
"That's right, but it's not something that can be easily obtained." A voice came from the shadows.
An old man in a long robe walked out slowly. He had white hair and a kind face. "Young man, the power of the Wings of Wind is great, but you must pass the test to possess it."
"What do we need to do?" Lin Chen asked.
The old man smiled slightly and pointed to the stone tablet beside him. "Solve this puzzle, pass the trial, and the Wings of Wind will naturally become yours."
Lin Chen and the others stepped forward and carefully studied the inscription on the stone tablet. After some effort, they finally solved the puzzle. A beam of light rose from the altar, enveloping everyone.
"Congratulations, you've passed the trial." The old man said with a smile, "The wings of wind now belong to you."
"Great!" Arnold shouted excitedly.
They carefully picked up the Wings of Wind and felt a strange power surge.
Just as everyone was about to leave, a loud noise suddenly erupted from deep within the city. The ground began to shake, and buildings collapsed one after another.
"Oh no, there's danger!" Lin Chen shouted.
They quickly rushed out of the hall and found that the entire sky city was collapsing. Huge rocks and debris fell like raindrops, and the situation was critical.
"Leave here quickly!" Lin Chen ordered loudly.
They followed the bird, weaving through the ruins until they finally reached the edge. The bird flapped its wings and flew high, carrying them away from the dangerous sky city.
Back on the ground, they saw the distant Sky City collapsing in the sunset, reduced to a pile of ruins. Everyone gasped, their hearts still trembling with fear.
"Thanks to the help of the bird, we were able to escape safely." Leah said.
"Yeah, it's really dangerous." Arnold wiped his sweat.
"But we successfully obtained the Wings of Wind. The next target is the last holy object." Lin Chen said firmly.
"Where are we going next?" Xiaojie asked.
"I heard that the third holy relic is hidden in the abyss." Leo said.
"The Abyss?" Arnold frowned. "It's rumored to be one of the most dangerous places."
"No matter what, we have to go." Lin Chen said firmly.
"Let's go, friends." Leia said with a smile.
"Yes, let's work hard together!" Xiaojie also shouted excitedly.
The moonlight shines on them, and they embark on a new journey to meet the challenges of the future. Unknown difficulties and challenges await them, but at this moment, their hearts are full of courage and faith.
Just as they were about to set off, a passerby approached and said in surprise, "Are you really the young people who obtained the two holy relics? You're amazing!"
"Yes, but we still have a long way to go." Lin Chen replied.
"I wish you good luck and hope you can find the last holy relic." The passerby wished sincerely.
"Thank you." Lin Chen said with a smile, "We will definitely succeed."
They continued on their journey, heading towards the Abyss. More challenges awaited them on the road ahead. The sound of the Sky City's collapse gradually faded away, and Lin Chen and his companions embarked on a new journey towards the Abyss. As night fell, the stars dotted the boundless darkness, and their steps were firm and powerful.
"Did you hear that? That group of young people are going to the abyss!" A middle-aged man standing at the door of the tavern said to his companion next to him.
"What? Isn't that the legendary Land of Death?" His companion's eyes widened in surprise. "That's a place that even the bravest adventurers would shy away from!"
"They're actually going there to look for the third holy relic." The man shook his head. "How audacious!"
Several young people at another table couldn't help but talk about this conversation when they heard it.
"I heard that those people have obtained two holy relics and are now going to the Abyss to find the last holy relic."
"Wow, that's so cool! It would be great if I could be a hero like that!" a young man said excitedly.
"Stop dreaming. There are countless monsters and demons in that place. Do you dare to go there?" another young man sneered.
"Maybe we can team up and go together?" A hint of determination flashed in the eyes of the young man who spoke first.
"Forget it, let's just drink. This kind of thing is not our turn."
Meanwhile, Lin Chen and his group continued their journey into the night. They passed through dense forests and climbed steep mountains, encountering many unexpected challenges along the way. Late one night, they set up camp on a desolate plain, preparing to rest for a while.
"Everyone, have a good rest tonight. What we will face tomorrow may be even more difficult." Lin Chen said to his companions while sitting by the campfire.
"Don't worry, Captain, we are ready." Arnold smiled and patted Lin Chen's shoulder.
Leah gently arranged her bow and arrow, a hint of tenderness in her eyes: "As long as we unite, there is nothing we can't overcome."
Leo swung the hammer in his hand, his deep voice echoing in the night wind: "Yes, we have been through so many trials, what is there that we can't do?"
"That's right," Xiaojie nodded in agreement, "Let's work hard together!"
Just as they were about to go to sleep, a passing businessman stopped and looked at them curiously.
"Are you really going to the abyss?" The merchant's voice was filled with doubt.
"Yes." Lin Chen replied.
