Chapter 177 16 Landing on Jiaolong Island to Steal Eggs

Chapter 177 16. Go to Jiaolong Island to steal eggs

"Since the Immortal Ao is so powerful, why don't you try to get the incense burner first? There are strange things on the main island, which is more difficult than stealing Jiaolong eggs?" Zheng Yun asked.

"Master Xian, there are many strange mechanisms on the main island, which are related to the legendary immortal art. Ordinary Tiangong disciples are not allowed to go to the island. My master left a mechanism map before he passed away, but it is extremely complicated and requires sufficient preparation."

"In addition, there is that maze on the main island. Now that we have gas masks and drones, we can try it. We can go to the island when the west wind blows."

Ji Dao wiped the sweat off his face and explained quickly.

"After all, your own things shouldn't be too dangerous, right?" Zheng Yun continued to ask thoughtfully.

Ji Dao's master.

He is also a riddler who digs holes.

He never says what he can say directly, and he will take detours where he can, leaving only the mechanism map for future generations to decipher.

Exactly the same as his adoptive father.

I really don't know if this is some kind of traditional custom or what. If you don't pass the test, you are not qualified to take over?

"That's wrong, Master Xian. Everything around is the territory of the Heavenly Palace, but the main island can't really be considered as the territory of the Heavenly Palace, because it was not built by the descendants of the Heavenly Palace."

Ji Dao explained again.

From what he meant, it was probably that the layout on the main island was built by the seventh generation ancestor of the Heavenly Palace, not in the name of the Heavenly Palace, but related to the Sea Guard Immortal Supervision Department.

Strictly speaking.

The main island is the territory of the Immortal Supervision Department.

Ji Dao and the Heavenly Palace dare not take it casually.

While the two whispered, they had already gone deep into the forest along the stone road. The rustling of monsters surrounded them, and occasionally some green eyes could be seen from the gaps between the dark grass and trees.

Looking up and looking forward, the grass and trees on both sides of the stone road were still gloomy and strange, and formed a dark corridor with the weathered road surface, leading to a deep place.

Zheng Yun was no longer distracted and asked the ghost general to draw his sword and stay alert, especially the vines on the left and right. He had to look at each one carefully, in case one of them was a giant python in disguise.

Once bitten by a snake.

Ten years of fear of vines.

The previous one was too scary.

"Don't worry, Master Xian, I'm fully prepared."

Ji Dao smiled and lifted the sleeves of his night suit to show Zheng Yun a look. Inside were densely packed small embroidered bags, like sachets full of hanging things.

They were all kinds of fragrant sand.

They were more complete than the vendors selling thirteen spices in ancient times.

No wonder he suddenly stopped wearing a sweatshirt. If he wanted to carry so many sachets, only the special night suits made in ancient times could do that.

Let the ghost general change back to the uniform of the Ghost Suppression Division. The clothes of the Haiwei Ghost Suppression Division are more complicated than his night suit, and there is also a layer of lining similar to iron wire mesh inside.

Asking the ghost generals to take off the uniforms of the Ghost Suppression Division actually weakened them in disguise. If they were wearing uniforms, they could withstand two rounds of bullets and would not have suffered those minor skin injuries just now.

If they are talented people who don't often go to modern society, it is better for them to keep wearing ancient uniforms.

"By the way, what is the copper cup you left behind?" Zheng Yun suddenly thought of something and asked, pointing to the right front.

"Copper cup?"

Ji Dao asked subconsciously.

"The copper cup in front and the runes on the wall... weren't they left by you?" Zheng Yun frowned and asked again.

"Ah? Master Xian, I went to Gugang halfway. I only walked half of this road at most, and I didn't leave any wine poison or runes." Ji Dao's expression changed and said seriously.

"Let's go and have a look."

Zheng Yun said in a low voice and quickened his pace.

The seven people trotted along the stone road quickly. Thanks to Ji Dao's living scent bag, they did not encounter any monster attacks along the way and soon arrived at the place where the copper cup was.

Beside the stone road covered with vines and blood lines.

The copper cup was placed in the center by three branches in a triangle shape, like a sacrificial vessel, with some liquid in it.

"This... Immortal Master, I didn't put this thing there, but I know what this copper cup is. It was a brewing utensil in the early years of the Heavenly Palace, and I don't know when it was abandoned in the outside world."

Ji Dao picked up the copper cup and looked through it carefully. He was not too surprised, nor did he think it was extremely strange.

"The Heavenly Palace actually lost something and placed it here. What do you think?" Zheng Yun asked in confusion.

"Immortal Master, please forgive me. In fact, the Heavenly Palace has lost things for a long time. The spirit monkeys in the mountains and the strange birds in the sky often take things away from the Heavenly Palace, but they are all worthless small objects. This copper cup should be placed by the spirit monkeys imitating humans."

Ji Dao casually put the copper cup back to the side of the road.

"Be careful in the future."

Zheng Yun saw this and didn't say much. He just felt that this matter might be a foreshadowing, and there might be a follow-up one day.

"Okay, I'll pick up some Jiaolong sand later."

Ji Dao nodded and led them to turn left and go deep into the forest. The strange vines that could be seen everywhere were swept aside by Ji Dao's sword. The way they dealt with them was completely different from before.

Not long after.

The seven people walked out of the forest, stepped onto the boulder beach again, climbed directly onto the ancient port platform, entered the cave and walked along the corridor. The reptiles, snakes and scorpions on the ground automatically fled and hid.

It seems that Ji Dao has a strong smell.

They can't smell it with gas masks on. It is estimated that they will know the smell of dozens of fragrant sands after they go back.

"Master Xian, this Haiwei Ancient Port is also very strange. It existed before the first generation of ancestors built the thatched house, but until the seventh generation of ancestors returned from Haiwei, no one knew when this ancient port was built and what Haiwei did here."

Ji Dao pointed around the corridor.

With the help of the flashlight, you can clearly see the dilapidated brick walls and exposed rock walls in the corridor. Even the iron ropes outside are also rusty. I only know that this is the style of Haiwei.

There is something underneath the ancient port, and there are masonry caves in the passage that lead to the depths, but I don’t know what is strange about it.

"The chains in the sky were also from that time?"

"Yes and no, the iron cable plank road was dismantled from the ancient port by the descendants of Tiangong and pulled to the many islands in Xianhai Lake."

Ji Dao shook his head and started to go up the mountain.

After climbing for a long time, they finally reached the top again, squatting at the entrance of the cave and panting to regain their strength.

"Master Immortal, I tied the rope to the iron rope a few days ago, and I don't know what kind of strange bird took it away. It's best to leave a ghost master here in case we can't get down." Ji Dao suggested.

"good."

Zheng Yun looked at the iron cable connecting to the depths of the fog, blending into the night. Even with a telescope, he could not see the end. Looking at the scenery below him, the mountains, forests and stone roads seemed insignificant.

This via ferrata plank road is really not something that ordinary people can walk on. It is similar to tightrope walking in modern extreme sports. Only extreme sports enthusiasts in rock climbing will challenge it to their death.

Fortunately, he brought climbing tools and a safety rope that could be hung on the iron rope. Although the scene was scary, he was still able to walk.

After resting for a while.

Jidao and Zheng Yun got up and walked to the entrance of the cave. The climbing rope left last time was still hanging on the iron rope, swaying left and right with the breeze, and it looked like it could break easily.

Zheng Yun took out the rope and fastened it on the lock, connected it with several ghost generals, and then handed the rope end to Ji Dao, asking him to find a way to tie it to himself, so as to obtain a certain degree of protection.

"I went first."

Ji Dao was the first to set off after getting ready. He stood on the edge of the cliff, used his long sword to pick up the climbing rope hanging in the air, grabbed the rope and lifted his feet off the ground, and quickly climbed up.

Wow.

He swayed under the moonlight, climbed up into the air with both hands and feet, and soon grabbed the iron rope plank and rode up.

Zheng Yun took a deep breath, and after Ji Dao had completely climbed up, he also hooked the climbing rope back, grabbed the rope with both hands and exerted force, and swung his body into the air before climbing steadily up.

He climbed steadily.

It took a while to get on the iron rope.

The view here is completely different. This place is at the end of the ancient port, and the landscape you can see is even broader. The sparkling Xianhai Lake is in sight, lying across the entire west of the Tiangong.

Once you get up there, it feels normal. The iron rope is as thick as a person's waist, and you can sit on it firmly.

The night wind was weak, and although the iron rope was swaying, the amplitude was not very large. It was estimated that it would become more serious in the middle section.

The two waited on the iron rope for a while, and then waited until the three ghost generals came up, and then the five of them went down the iron rope together.

Going downhill is easy, you just need to ride the cable down, or you can stand up slightly and hold on to the cable to walk down.

There was some night dew on the iron rope, which felt cold to the touch, but it was all wiped clean by Ji Dao at the front.

Everyone held their breath and cautiously, holding on to the iron rope and sliding down halfway, when they suddenly heard Ji Dao's voice:

"Master Immortal, can you see the end?"

Zheng Yun stopped and raised his head, took out his binoculars and looked down along the iron cable. Through the clouds and mist in mid-air, he could vaguely see that the iron cable branched off halfway, leading to different directions.

"Master Immortal, that's the main island on the left."

Jidao explained to Zheng Yun, who took a closer look and found that the main island was very vast, just a mountain range in the lake.

The moonlight shines through.

Only the lake surface around the main island can be seen. Some monsters are playing at night, making the water white and overflowing with water. It is estimated that its size is not small, and it should be of high quality.

Besides, I can't see clearly.

There are some gray-tiled buildings vaguely visible on the mountain. They are built in a rectangular shape and follow the trend of the mountain. The atmosphere is very solemn. At this moment, they are half hidden in the shadows, which makes them a bit weird.

Another terrible place.

It shouldn't be easy to break in by force.

After the interlude, everyone continued to go down along the iron rope. When they reached the middle, the shaking momentum of the iron rope became stronger, which made Zheng Yun inevitably panic because there were two hundred meters above them and there were dragons in the lake directly below. .

If this falls.

That's really a feast for the dragon.

Not only Zheng Yun, but Ji Dao also slowed down significantly. He sat on the iron rope and slowly moved forward. At the same time, he looked left and right, keeping an eye on the sky for any strange birds to attack.

There is no shortage of demonic birds in the sky.

Every now and then they could hear the sound of the wind blowing from high in the sky, and with the help of the moonlight they could see many frighteningly large birds, blending into the night and flying silently through the clouds.

Those strange birds are terrifying.

It is even more important than the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

One of the strange birds has a cry like a baby crying. It sounds like it comes from the dark place, as if it comes from the underworld.

Zheng Yun was horrified.

The five of them were strung together in a string and hung on the iron rope. They were really like grasshoppers on a rope. If the strange bird stared at it, it would kill all five of them in one bite.

The difference in treatment is too big.

The royal family members can ride the Xian'ao, but they can only reach the island via the iron cable plank road. If it were changed and the royal family members could go there, I'm afraid they would never want to come back again in this life.

"Master Immortal, bend down and crawl."

Jidao's tone was solemn, and he suddenly lay down, his whole body pressed against the iron rope, and he slowly wriggled forward while holding the iron rope.

Zheng Yun immediately followed the instructions.

At the same time, he ordered the ghost general to lie down as well.

But after Ji Dao lay down, Zheng Yun knew why he said this, because in front of the iron rope, stood a monster that looked like a bird but not a bird. Its whole body was blue and blue, with a cluster of red feathers growing out of its neck, and four hairs. Only eyes!

Like the legendary bird.

Zhen stared at the five of them.

"This bird doesn't eat people."

Ji Dao murmured and ran forward, drawing out his sword at the same time, but as soon as he lay down for a few seconds, the bird suddenly flew away.

"..."

Zheng Yun had nothing to say.

Soon after, several more forked iron cables appeared in front, leading to different islands of the Thirty-Six Immortal Islands. The further they climbed, the closer they were to Xianhai Lake, and the height became lower and lower.

Zheng Yun could even see the dragon in the lake with his naked eyes.

The dragon looked somewhat similar to a neck dragon, and similar to the legendary real dragon. It had a thick and long neck, a ferocious head, but its limbs were as short as a lizard.

It should be an amphibious omnivore, with a layer of hideous gray leather armor on its back that resembles crocodile skin.

It's hard to tell what exactly it is.

But it fits well with the Eastern people's imagination of dragons.

According to the oriental nomenclature, there is no problem in naming it dragon. This creature is also worthy of this name. For this amazing appearance, it can definitely be named dragon.

It's just this scene that makes people feel chilled.

This thing is at least ninety meters long, which makes people wonder whether it can stand on land.

The gravity coefficient of Tiangong is very low, estimated to be 0.7 of the Earth, which is slightly lower than W-05, where Qianfu City is located offshore. The latter is the planet with the lowest gravity coefficient within ten seconds of the Endless Route sequence, which shows how low this place is.

The consequence of low gravity is that every step is light. You will feel like an immortal after stepping into the Heavenly Palace. You will not feel tired when climbing up the mountain. You can climb hundreds of meters in one breath.

But the dragon also grew too big.

If the ancient people of Tiangong could control it, it could almost be used as a boat, but if it crossed the foggy sea to other planets, it would not be able to go ashore and would have to float in the sea.

"How on earth is this controlled?"

Zheng Yun couldn't help but ask, what methods did the ancients use to control such a huge dragon?

"The dragon looks ferocious, but in fact it has a gentle temperament and mostly eats grass. There is a dragon farm in the Heavenly Palace. You can raise it and train it from an early age, and then combine it with some control methods to control it."

Ji Dao explained, then lowered his voice and said: "Master Xian, we are about to go ashore. There are a few things we need to pay attention to. First, we must not be exposed to the moonlight and we must walk along the dark place. Second, we must not make any noise. We need to keep it low." Breathe and move, and don’t touch the blue and purple vegetation.”

"There are not only dragons on the island, but also various other monsters, including a kind of earth scorpion and a kind of whirling turtle. They are all in groups. Once they are seen, they must be killed immediately."

"good."

Zheng Yun nodded and took note.

Some distance further, they had entered Jiaolong Island, but the iron cable went deep into the island. They continued to walk for a while before jumping off the iron cable and diving into the forest.

As soon as he landed, Ji Dao pointed to the right front. Between the gaps in the grass and trees, there was a path he had walked before, winding to the depths of Jiaolong Island, and asked them to follow it.

Zheng Yun followed closely behind.

The ghost general also looks like a ghost and follows him.

Ji Dao didn't dare to trust him. This time he took Xian Ye to the island. If something happened, they would be in trouble, so he stopped and looked around, going around in the forest.

Just a short walk.

Walked for more than an hour.

In this short time, Zheng Yun only saw a few small beasts, which were killed by the ghost general with a single blow. He saw nothing else, as if he was fighting wits with the air.

"Master Immortal, we're here."

Ji Dao suddenly stopped and squatted in the grass.

Zheng Yun looked over immediately after hearing this. After this glance, he understood why it was difficult for Jidao to steal the dragon egg back alone.

Because the dragon egg is actually more than one meter high!

At this moment, in front of them, there was a wide open space, surrounded by trees that had been bulldozed by the dragon. There were a large number of pits in the center of the open space, and there were eggs in each pit.

Flood dragons actually live in groups and lay eggs.

At least ten or twenty of them passed by at this glance.

The dragon egg closest to them was covered with black cloth and rope that Ji Dao had tied long ago. Ji Dao had obviously pulled the egg, which was less than ten meters away from them.

I can tell.

Ji Dao really wanted to steal.

He probably spent the past five or six days squatting here, trying every possible means to put on a black cloth, and then tugging on the rope at the right time. It took him five days to pull it to the edge.

"What's the plan?" Zheng Yun asked in a low voice.

"Master Immortal, this last step is as difficult as climbing to the sky, but it is much easier with you. I will go over and carry the egg back, and you and Master Gui will escort me and run back in one breath!"

Ji Dao's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.

The problem that troubled him the most was not stealing the egg, but how to get back after stealing the egg. There were a lot of other monsters in the mountains, and the egg would break if there was a slight bump during the fight.

It's much simpler now.

The immortals and ghosts escorted him, so he just lowered his head and ran back, ignoring other things.

"..."

Zheng Yun took a deep breath.

Ji Dao's plan is completely unplanned!
