Chapter 489 Entering the Ancient City of Ruins, Collecting the Liquid of Time
Standing atop Long Da's head, Jiang Han looked around and saw a vast expanse of strange, dark green birds. A quick glance revealed at least ten thousand of them. At the same time, he noticed Ai Jiangtu and the others running towards him from below.
"Pyrim~~~~~Pyrim~~~~~~~~~!!"
Upon noticing Jiang Han's sudden appearance in the sky, the strange birds immediately shrieked and split into two groups, attacking the National Team members. The largest group charged straight at Jiang Han, completely unaffected by the monarch-level aura emanating from Long Da and Long Er.
"As expected, the puppet birds are mindless," Jiang Han murmured as he watched the strange birds rushing towards him.
Immediately, Jiang Han leaped down from Long Da's head. While in mid-air, a pair of purple-gold wings unfolded behind him, and terrifying purple-gold lightning surged around him. He hovered in mid-air like a world-destroying thunder god who had come from ancient times!
"Let me test the power of this transformed Purple-Gold Mystic Lightning!" Jiang Han said.
A star map was drawn in the blink of an eye, and then a thick layer of dark clouds covered the sky. Purple-gold lightning surged continuously in the clouds. As Jiang Han waved his hand and pointed at the flock of strange birds rushing towards him, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck down from the dark clouds.
The lightning split into several chains in mid-air, each chain precisely killing two or three emerald green monster birds. Just a mid-level fourth-grade spell took care of at least ten monster birds, and you have to know that the weakest of these monster birds were all junior warriors!
Long Da and Long Er's fighting power is even more terrifying. Every time they swing their claws, large numbers of strange birds turn into a cloud of blood mist, and they occasionally spit out venom or ice.
With two monarch-level skeletal Nether Dragons, Long Da and Long Er, clearing away the strange birds, Jiang Han barely had to lift a finger to deal with the attack.
"Damn it, does it have to be this insane?!" Mo Fan cursed as he watched Jiang Han effortlessly slaughter the monster bird in the air, as if it were a chicken or a cow.
"A monarch-level summoned creature! If my Night Rakshasa could reach this level, why would I even bother participating in the World University Tournament?" Jiang Yu looked at the skeletal Nether Dragon slaughtering the strange birds with some envy.
"You all better watch out." Ai Jiangtu said, while distracted by using his mind control to crush another strange bird.
Because the strange birds were all puppets without independent souls, they showed no fear when fighting the Nationalist team. Even when there were less than a hundred of them left, the strange birds still dared to charge at Jiang Han and his group.
······
After dealing with the flock of strange birds that attacked everyone, Jiang Han sent Long Da and Long Er back to the dimensional space, and then led everyone toward the ancient city in the alternate dimension after the barrier disappeared.
The area where the storm subsided was also filled with ruins, and even the outer city buildings could be seen reduced to rubble.
After passing through the abandoned outer city buildings, the scene before them suddenly changed: a green field and a sea of flowers. This oil painting-like scene contrasted sharply with the ruins in front of them, and at the end of the sea of flowers was a relatively well-preserved ancient city.
The small town sits at the end of a sea of flowers, and the paint on its exterior walls has not faded with the passage of time, so it does not appear old.
"Look, there's a city ahead!" Zhao Manyan said, pointing to the ancient city in front of them.
"This place is so beautiful!" Jiang Shaoxu said, somewhat mesmerized.
The others were also attracted by the beautiful scenery outside the ancient city. When they entered this secluded ancient city, they found it hard to believe that it was a city that had been sealed for nearly a thousand years. The main reason was that it was not as lifeless as other ancient ruins. It had no trace of decay and was full of life. They could even smell the fragrance of flowers and plants in the air.
"This is probably an ancient city in South America. The patterns carved on the city gate are the ancient emblems of this place," said Jiang Shaoxu, who was paying close attention to the patterns on the city gate.
"You know so much about the history of South America," Mo Fan said, somewhat surprised by Jiang Shaoxu's erudition.
"I don't really know much about the history of South America, I only recognize those flowers. This flower is called Lifan, which is a very rare variety that disappeared from the South American continent more than 30 years ago."
"When this flower still exists, the people living here use it to make wine. It tastes even better than wine from Western Europe. My grandfather has a bottle of Lifan flower wine in his collection. He said he would only take it out to drink after I find my Mr. Right." As she said this, Jiang Shaoxu winked at Jiang Han.
"Besides being used to brew wine, the Lifan flower can also have analgesic, soothing, and calming effects. In the early days before the advent of mind magic, it was mainly used as an anesthetic."
"I've also heard that the origin of mind magic is more or less related to this Li Fan flower," Jiang Shaoxu continued.
"Isn't there any way to deduce the age of this city?" Nan Yu asked.
"We might not be able to rely on these flowers, but we can investigate using the flower patterns and family crests in the ancient city. I'm sure there will be relevant records in Peruvian museums. Why don't we just check them out then?" Jiang Han suddenly said at this moment.
Jiang Shaoxu was very interested in the sea of flowers outside the city, so she did not follow the others to explore the ruins and treasures inside the city. Mainly because she was backed by the Jiang family, one of the eight great families of the Ministry of Defense, she really didn't care about the little resources she could find.
Upon entering the city, Jiang Han discovered that the ancient city was very well preserved, showing no signs of erosion by time. The streets were spotless, giving one the illusion of stepping into a beautiful and charming foreign town.
"Is this the power of Night of Time?" Jiang Han walked down the wide street, constantly looking around at his surroundings.
The latest novel is first published here!
After crossing the wide street, the first thing you see is a beautiful fountain. In the center of the fountain is a graceful woman carved from jade, whose slender waist and delicate, smooth abdomen are particularly eye-catching.
In terms of body proportions, she is somewhat different from Asians, with long, slender legs and an impressive bust, possessing a slenderness and fullness that is not common among Eastern women.
"This seems to be the place." Jiang Han stood in front of the fountain and glanced at the Western woman sculpture a few times before using his telekinetic control to disperse it. The space trembled slightly, and the sculpture began to crumble and slowly fall off.
As the female sculpture crumbled and fell away, a crystal cup gradually came into view. Inside the cup was a spring of very clear and shimmering liquid, which was Jiang Han's special mission item—the Liquid of Time!
"Ding, special mission item Time Potion detected. Do you wish to collect it?" Xiao Shi's voice rang in Jiang Han's mind.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and collect it, then awaken the Time System for me!!" Jiang Han said excitedly.
