The desert land in the clouds once had many beautiful and rich cities.
Many years ago, because the king of Jinting City pursued supreme power by any means, he secretly used the power of magic to transform the demon species, which caused the demon species to overflow and invade!
at last.
So far, the only ones that are still standing are Jade City, Thousand Cave City, and the Protectorate!
At this time, the three remaining cities once again face the danger of the demon species.
On top of the city wall of Thousand Caves City.
City Lord Jialou's face was solemn, and smoke and dust could be seen faintly in the distance, which meant that the demon species had already swept in the wind and sand.
"Hey! I wish I had believed Tian'er earlier!"
Galou sighed, as if there was a hint of regret.
Because I didn't believe Qi Tian's words immediately, I wasted nearly half a day.
Although defensive forces were deployed urgently, it is not known how effective it will be.
"Retribution! The demon species stopped ten miles away!"
"boom!"
In order to report the enemy's situation quickly, a mounted scout speeded a little. He and his horse fell to the ground and flew several meters away.
"Has the demon stopped?"
The Lord of Galou City frowned, showing a trace of solemnity.
You must know that except for a few advanced demon species and hybrid demon species, most demon species have basic intelligence and no emotions. They are completely like wild beasts and only know destruction and killing.
But now, the demon species besieging Thousand Cave City are as orderly as a well-trained army.
"What? The demon has stopped. Will it stop attacking us?"
"That's not right! How could there be so many demons stopping right away?"
"You idiot, wouldn't it be better if the demon stopped?"
"..."
When everyone heard the news and breathed a sigh of relief, City Lord Galou's heart actually lifted.
The other side.
Qi Tian was patrolling back and forth in the city with two followers.
"Uncle Qitian, this is the statue of the sage. Here are the statues of the Lords of Thousand Caves City in the past!"
"Uncle, this is a pure land of knowledge. Although it is not as good as a library, there are many books and colleges in it!"
"The Proverbs Corridor, this stone tablet is engraved with the history of Thousand Caves City and the mottos of wise men."
"..."
Zhang San and Li Si turned into tour guides and explained to Qi Tian every place they went. There was no tension among the three of them.
"Look, that is the good-for-nothing son-in-law of the city lord. All the other men have gone to defend the city, but he is the only one who is still hanging out here, with two followers!"
"Wow! He is so handsome. I want to fall in love with him and have children..."
"When are you still thinking about those nonsense, the demons are here, you know!"
"Who says women are inferior to men? Sisters, follow me to kill demons!"
"..."
A group of women passed by Qi Tian.
The strong woman in the lead glared at Qi Tian with disdain, while the woman walking at the end gave him a wink.
"Iron Steel is so strong!"
“Spring flowers are not bad either!”
The two followers looked like pig brothers, which made Qitian feel chills.
"Beauty is like a wolf or a tiger, it can destroy a person's will. You are still young, and you cannot grasp the depth of it!"
"Uh...my uncle is right, Zhang San is enlightened!"
"Li Si also realized it!"
"..."
After a while, the three people came to the library again.
"Uncle! We have inspected the entire Thousand Caves City. Are we really not going to defend the city in front of the city gate?" Zhang San asked tentatively.
"Yes, uncle, your strength..."
Qi Tian ignored the two of them and just looked at the library thoughtfully.
This library was built against a mountain. Not only did it hollow out more than half of the cliff, but many caves were also dug out on the cliff to serve as windows, allowing sunlight to shine in and provide light for the library.
In a previous life, this would have been even more spectacular than some high-rise buildings.
"Is it possible to go up to the top of the mountain in the library?" Qi Tian asked in a deep voice.
"Well... it's okay, but you have to climb a few hundred meters of scholar's ladder, and non-scholars can't climb to the top of the library. Otherwise, don't go!"
"What nonsense! Take me there quickly!"
Qi Tian thought that this library might be the biggest loophole.
The city walls on the east, west, and south are all well-defended with sufficient troops. Even if there are many demons coming, it will be difficult to break through them in a short period of time.
Only the library in the north has no one to guard it because it is close to a mountain.
"What are you going to do? He is so strong. It would be a pity not to defend the city and kill the demons!" Zhang San said softly to Li Si.
"Okay, Third Brother, the Lord of the City will personally lead the defense of the city, it shouldn't be a big deal!"
"Why!"
"..."
Zhang San and Li Si led Qi Tian to the side of the library quickly and began to climb the scholar's ladder.
level one
Two levels
third level
.....
Qitian could not help but admire the lords of Qiancao City in the past for their uncanny craftsmanship, being able to carve out nearly two thousand stone staircases on this cliff.
"Huh? You can see the condition of the city wall from here!"
Stand high and see far.
At this time, you can already see the black demon species. They are not far from the city wall, but they have not started to attack!
"Hahaha, my uncle is really wise. It turns out he came here to spy on the enemy!"
"Li Si also realized it!"
Qi Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes at the two of them.
How can I let you see through me so easily?
Thousand Cave City, the City of Knowledge, why are you two reckless men out there!
Ah!
"You understand, hurry up and climb up with me!" Qi Tian said, kicking Li Si on the butt.
"Yes, yes! My uncle, please go first!"
"..."
After much effort, the three finally reached the top.
Zhang San and Li Si were so tired that they lay down. They couldn't climb the two thousand steps in one go.
"It seems that there are really many benefits to upgrading the level. Is my current physique so strong?"
Qi Tian's face was filled with joy. He found that when he climbed up, his face didn't turn red, his heart didn't beat, and he didn't even pant much.
"Aunt...ye...is indeed...strong...fierce..."
Zhang San lay on the ground, panting heavily, but just like that, he didn't forget to flatter Qi Tian.
“Is this the top?”
Zhao Bao was stunned as he looked at the top of the mountain!
Very flat! It looks like it was leveled by humans.
The area is also very large, about the size of several football fields!
"Pah...pah..."
"what sound?"
Qi Tian could vaguely hear some sound coming from the top of the mountain, but could not find the source of the sound.
"Huh? What is that?"
As soon as Zhang San came to his senses, he looked surprised again.
All I could see was the sky in the distance.
A black spot.
Two black spots.
.....
Slowly, there are more and more black spots, getting closer and closer.
In the end, they were densely packed and dark, countless in number.
Zhang San and Li Si both looked like they had seen a ghost, looking at Qi Tian in despair.
"Uncle, it's over, this...he is a demon!"
The words just fell!
A few people knew the source of the strange sound just now.
A demon in the form of a monkey climbed up from the other side of the cliff.
Then the second, the third...
