He stuck his head out of the cave and observed the surrounding environment.
The cold wind is howling, the huge mountains are covered with snow, and the fog is filling the eyes. Even in the daytime, the visibility is only ten meters.
Looking back, the cave that was pitch dark just now could finally be seen clearly.
A stiff corpse wrapped in thick animal skins and wearing a thick fur hat with antlers on its head was slumped in the corner.
"This is..." Jiang Lu narrowed his eyes: "Santa Claus?"
He looked down at himself. He was wearing the same fur coat, except that there were no antlers on the hat. It was exactly the same as the corpse.
Jiang Lu judged that he should have directly copied the corpse's outfit when the birth point was refreshed.
After thinking about it, Jiang Lu stepped forward, switched his hats with those of the corpse, then squatted down and started to check the items on the corpse.
A map, a few pieces of dried meat, and a diary with a name.
These are all the things on the body.
Relying on the diary, Jiang Lu knew the man's name: Li.
Jiang Lu suddenly realized: "So you are not Santa Claus!"
He touched the antlers now on his head and said firmly:
"You are Li Xiaolu!"
So Jiang Lu changed the eulogy he learned in Florence into rap, in order to commemorate the poor man who died in the cave.
[377th year of the Northern Calendar]
[The sun is about to rise again, and the priest said that this time the extreme daylight will still last for six months]
[The creatures in the snowy mountains should be revived, it’s time to hunt]
[I will definitely bring back enough prey this time, and then participate in the selection of pioneers]
This is the last page of Lee's diary.
Jiang Lu looked at it carefully for a long time, and then he saw the words between the words. There were two words written all over the book, which were "Planting Flags".
"But isn't the Starry Sky Gate broken? What's the use of the Pioneer?"
He said to himself, feeling a little strange.
Putting away the frozen meat and diary, Jiang Lu took the map and prepared to find the city-state of Hybril.
At this moment, a low roar made Jiang Lu freeze up.
When the sun rises, the creatures in the snowy mountains will revive. Could it be that...
He looked outside the cave - a golden creature with the head of a cat and the body of a spider was biting the neck of an elk, looking at Jiang Lu with eager eyes.
This is Huang Xiu'e who smuggled into the spiritual realm with Jiang Lu.
Seeing Jiang Lu looking over, Huang Xiu'e returned to her original form and threw the elk body in front of Jiang Lu, and then began to lick the hair.
"Is this... for me?" Jiang Lu asked nervously.
Huang Xiu'e barked twice, with a humanized look of disgust on the cat's face.
Jiang Lu shook his head: "Thank you, I'm not hungry."
Huang Xiu'e keenly noticed something was wrong.
This bastard...didn't he recognize me?
Before she could react, Jiang Lu showed a look of reminiscence.
"I also have a cat bug at home that looks a lot like you. If she's still around, she should be about your age, right?"
Huang Xiu'e:?
When did I die?
"In short, although you are also very good-looking, I already have my E'e at home, so I can't adopt you anymore, so I declined."
As Jiang Lu said this, he got out of the cave in front of Huang Xiu'e, lowered his head and pointed at the map and walked out.
Huang Xiu'e stood outside the cave in the biting cold wind, and had the urge to turn around and leave...
While Jiang Lu was studying the route, Huang Xiu'e, who had walked some distance in the opposite direction, became more and more angry, so she turned back and took a shortcut to catch up. Jiang Lu was about to pass a corner and almost collided with the panting Huang Xiu'e.
"Eh? Another cat bug?"
Jiang Lu raised his head, took two steps back, and looked at it for a while: "It looks a little more fierce than the one just now."
Huang Xiu'e couldn't hold back, swung her sharp claws and gave him a big dick.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Lu got up from the snow, sat there for a while, then touched his face, lowered his head and rummaged around on the ground. Finally, he found half of his face on a stone.
He picked up his face, shook the snow off it, and then covered it with the exposed muscles.
The healing BUFF begins to take effect.
Then he smiled: "Sure enough, my judgment was not wrong. I just said that the next one should be more fierce. I am worthy of being the person who knows the most about cats and insects in the world."
Huang Xiu'e, who was resting on his antler hat after shrinking, couldn't hold back any longer.
She roared "ouch".
Jiang Lu's hair suddenly stood up and he looked around.
"You haven't left yet, have you?"
It wasn't until Huang Xiu'e started scratching his scalp in a certain pattern like she did at home that Jiang Lu noticed the guy above his head and hugged him in front of him.
"Eh? E'e, why are you here?"
Huang Xiu'e, who was lifted high by Jiang Lu, yawned helplessly.
Who would have thought that Jiang Lu was shocked and said: "So you can not only escape the spiritual realm with me, but also sneak in? Damn it! Then why didn't you say anything when I was beaten just now?"
As he said that, he put Huang Xiu'e on the ground: "Now we can take revenge on the forced one, Snow Leopard, let's go!"
Huang Xiu'e's eyelids were half drooped, she turned around and left.
Half an hour later, under Jiang Lu's persistence, Huang Xiu'e finally told him with body language the fact that the two cats and bugs just now were hers.
Then she knew what it means to be evil.
Jiang Lu put aside all his own problems and just stared at her and kept talking about how she slapped his face off. It was not until Huang Xiu'e, who was unbearable, took the responsibility that should have been borne by Jiang Lu that the latter shut up. .
The helpless Huang Xiu'e walked on six pairs of appendages, holding a map on her forelimbs and walking in the snow with a kitten face on her arm, while Jiang Lu sat leisurely on her body admiring the snow scenery and chewing dried meat.
Of course, Jiang Lu still has some conscience and will feed Huang Xiu'e from time to time.
Just like that, one person and one cat gradually walked out of the mountains and came to a huge basin.
Jiang Lu looked from a distance and saw that the basin was surrounded by mountains. The sun was hanging high in the center of the basin, and directly below the sun was a city that now looked no bigger than the size of a palm, which was marked on the map as "Hybri." "Er" city-state.
"Can such a small city be called a city-state?" Jiang Lu was a little surprised. Even considering the perspective of the near and far, this city is too small.
Being on flat ground, the road was no longer rough, and Huang Xiu'e no longer held back, but started running like crazy.
But as he ran, Jiang Lu realized something was wrong.
The first weird thing that happened was that he would keep sliding forward on Huang Xiu'e's back until he hit the back of her head.
At first Jiang Lu thought it was because of Huang Xiu'e's running and stopping, but after observing, he felt that there was no such problem. Until he inadvertently looked back, he realized that just now it was just a towering mountain range, and he didn't know when it had already stopped. Become towering.
Jiang Lu was stunned for a moment, and then looked forward. The previously palm-sized Hybrier seemed to be slightly taller now.
Huang Xiu'e ran like this for a while, but the scary thing was that with the speed that she could run from the south to the north of the map in a few minutes in the fight against the spirit realm, the mountains were already far behind. Even though he was standing behind him, Jiang Lu still felt that the distance between him and Hybrier hadn't gotten much closer.
Jiang Lu even had the illusion that they were getting smaller as they kept running along the basin.
When Huang Xiu'e ran for more than ten hours and finally reached the outskirts of Hybrier exhausted, Jiang Lu realized that this was not a small town. It was not an exaggeration to say that it blocked the sky and the sun.
The city wall, which is hundreds of meters long, stands on the snowfield. Standing at the corner of the wall and looking left and right, you can't even see the end.
It is difficult to imagine how such a magnificent complex of buildings that could not be built by human beings came into being.
The Elysium City, which I thought was exaggeratedly huge at first, compared with Hyberil, had a huge and absurd contrast, like a pickleman and a cotton man standing together and competing on the same stage.
Jiang Lu now wanted to make Li Xiaolu live, and then asked him if he was out of his mind for going so far away to hunt, but when he thought that it would take almost a whole day to go back, he had to let him go angrily.
There were no guards on the city wall, so Jiang Lu asked Huang Xiu'e to become smaller, lie on his head, and then began to look for the entrance.
When he found the huge city gate that could pass through an aircraft carrier, he found that there were no guards at the gate.
Jiang Lu suspected that this was an empty city for the first time, but after he walked past the nearly 100-meter-thick city wall, he discovered that this city-state was not only not an empty city, but was in fact extremely prosperous.
Every element Jiang Lu could imagine could be found in every corner of this medieval city-state, and there were even many items that he had never seen before.
He speculated that those slightly weird elements were probably things brought back by the Hybrians from other planets.
Dragons, griffins, unicorns, and various mythical creatures gallop freely in the sky above Hybril, coexisting harmoniously with humans in this land.
The periphery of Hybril is surrounded by circles of low houses, packed together with great density. In the middle, there are towering castles one after another, and in the center, there is a castle built with hundreds of buildings. The temple on the high platform is almost as high as the city wall.
Above the temple, there is a suspended circular black hole. Obviously, this is the so-called star gate.
No matter what angle you look at it, it is round, but because its black color is too deep, Jiang Lu can't tell whether it is a ball or a strange mirror-like portal.
What surprised Jiang Lu even more was that the demi-humans mentioned in the mission background could be seen everywhere in Hybrier!
Demi-humans with beastly features and different races walk on the same road and breathe the same air as humans.
Jiang Lu was immediately attracted by this bizarre city...
......
"So..." the female demihuman law enforcement officer with rabbit ears questioned, "Is this why you lift up women's skirts on the street?"
Jiang Lu, who was handcuffed in front of the interrogation table, replied seriously: "I just want to see whether she is a lion or a cat through her tail, because I can't tell just by looking at her ears."
The female law enforcement officer sighed.
It had just been her turn to take over her shift, and she was faced with such a weirdo.
She originally thought it was just a trivial harassment incident, but it wasn't until she arrested the person that she discovered that the other person was not a Hybrier at all. What was even more strange was that he also brought along a researcher who had even been a pioneer in her ancestors. Creatures that no college student in paleontology has ever seen.
After her unremitting efforts, she finally made Jiang Lu realize that no matter how hard he pretended, he could not hide the fact that he was not a Hybrier, then Jiang Lu admitted that he was from outside.
Jiang Lu had already foreseen that a battle for freedom and a city-wide pursuit were about to take place, but who knew that the rabbit-eared female law enforcement officer just nodded lightly: "It seems that you are just a person who mistakenly entered Xibeli." There is no threat to your ordinary people."
"Are you so careless?" Jiang Lu was startled: "How about you interrogate me again? What if I am a very vicious villain?"
