Chapter 146: The Battle Ends, Arrival at the Organ Castle
The battle in the air has been going on, and Meng Ling also wants to try out her own swordsmanship, so she hasn't used her abilities much. In fact, Meng Ling is at a great advantage here, since she's using the Dance of the Empty Air technique, while Bai Feng Huang needs to use his lightness skill on his feathers just to keep himself suspended in mid-air and prevent his body from falling. As a result, Meng Ling has become much more relaxed.
"I didn't think there was really someone in this world who could fly. Are you the legendary immortal?" White Fenghuang asked with a smile.
"Who knows, but with your current strength, fighting me in the air would be very dangerous." Meng Ling said teasingly, her hand continuously beckoning to Bai Feng Huang.
"Although you have taken advantage of everything, but you are still not fast enough." Bai Fenghuang said coldly.
"Fast? Want to see it?" Meng Ling coldly smiled, and immediately used Instant Step. In a flash, she had already appeared behind Bai Fenghuang, and at the same time, the Hummingbird in her hand instantly imprinted a mark on Bai Fenghuang's body. After that, she flashed back to her original position once again.
"How did you do it?" Bai Fenghuang also felt something unusual behind her back and asked in surprise.
"My weapon is special, the same spot will be hit twice and it's absolutely a dead end. Do you still have confidence to dodge the next attack at my current speed?" Meng Ling smiled.
"It seems you've been hiding your true strength all along, but it doesn't matter now. Since you said something like that, you must be willing to let me off the hook. Speak up, what are your conditions?" White Phoenix returned to her own giant white crane's back and asked indifferently.
"We were just trying it out, so there's no need to take your life. If I win, you should grant me a request. Here it is: I want a little of your blood. That's my request." Dreaming said, stretching out her right hand, and the swallow in her hand had already transformed back into its original form as the Slashing Ghost Sword.
"It's still the ancient Chinese sword that's useful, in other worlds there isn't this kind of exquisite swordsmanship from ancient China, it seems like coming here was the right decision." Dreaming thought to herself.
"I'll admit defeat this time, but next time I won't be so easy to beat." As he spoke, Bai Fenghuang surprisingly put his hand behind his back and somehow managed to shoot a few drops of his own blood at Meng Ling.
"Not willing to let others see the injured side of herself, this is Bai Fenghuang's personality trait, but I still appreciate it." Looking at the few drops of blood shooting towards her, Meng Leng directly used Tianyu to block them, and immediately the blood was absorbed by Tianyu on its own. Meanwhile, some messages she wanted appeared in Meng Leng's mind.
"So, it's settled then." Having gotten what he wanted, Meng immediately paid his respects to Bai Fenghuang with a Jianghu salute, and then used the Communicating with Spirits technique to summon his current mount. With his divine sense extended, he flew off in the direction that Ban Lao and the others had left in, leaving behind Bai Fenghuang who was still observing from afar.
"It's really a strange girl, but now I should report to the leader." After Bai Fenghuang said this, she immediately summoned a small bird and wrote what she knew on the letter paper on its foot, then flew away...
————I am that gorgeous dividing line————
Because the battle between Meng Ling and Bai Fenghuang wasn't too long, it didn't take long for Meng Ling to find Ban Lao and the others. At this time, the toxins in Ban Lao's body had also been eliminated, and everyone had arrived within the range of the Organ City. After Meng Ling returned, everyone asked him some questions about the battle that had just occurred, and Meng Ling briefly explained it to them. Then, they came to a stone wall.
"Hey, old man, are you out of your mind?" Tian Ming shouted loudly as he watched Lao Tou directing the mechanical bird to crash into a stone wall.
"This should be the entrance of the Mechanical City. The mechanical city built by Mo Family is indeed mysterious." Meng Ling said with a smile.
"It seems that the young lady has also investigated a lot of information about our Mo family's organ city." Mr. Ban said. Entering a very secret entrance, then, everyone's eyes were already in front of a pitch black scene.
"It's just that I've seen it in some ancient texts, and all I know is that the Mohist stronghold was built in a very treacherous and secretive location. As for the rest, I'm not too clear about it. After all, I'm only 15 years old now, and it's already quite difficult to know so many things." Dreaming Cloud said somewhat helplessly.
After going through this passage, everyone inside the cave mouth checked the password again, and only then were they allowed to pass. After a brief confusion in the dark, Mr. Ban explained some knowledge about the Mechanical City. This passage was full of hidden weapons everywhere. After passing through this dark passage, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up, and at this time, Meng Ling finally saw the mystery of the Mechanical City.
"Everyone, hold on tight, we're entering the city." After Old Man Ban reminded them, they immediately arrived inside the Organ City. As the Organ Bird came to a stop, Meng Leng followed everyone in jumping off the Organ Bird. Meng Leng looked around and felt a sense of wonder in her heart. She thought that even in her previous modern society, it would be difficult to build such magnificent architecture. It was truly unknown how they could construct such buildings with current technological levels.
"Wow, it's really too cool." At this time, Tianming was still marveling at the golden surroundings, while Class Leader said disdainfully: "This kid is really inexperienced, and he's already so excited just from the opening scene."
Meng Ling, under the explanation of Ban Lao and Yue Er, waited for the people who came to greet them. After a series of gear sounds echoed, something similar to an elevator descended in the direction of the crowd.
"The predecessor of elevators, I finally got to see it today." Meng Ling thought excitedly.
"It seems that Yuanniang's vision is really not small, and she even knows the things I invented." Looking at Meng Leng's eyes, Ban Lao said proudly.
At this time, a young man of about twenty years old came down from the cloud ladder. It can be seen that this person is absolutely comparable to Meng Ling's "brother" in his previous life in modern society. He has a smooth tongue and is playful by nature, but he is definitely someone who can entrust his back to his companions.
"Little Jue, how is it you?" asked Old Man Ban with some surprise.
"How can it not be me?" asked Zeu.
"Didn't the leader send you to Mount Tai on a mission?" Mr. Ban asked.
"I heard you old man are coming back, I immediately rushed back to welcome you." said Zei Ou with a nonchalant expression.
"I see you knew that Rong Niang was coming back, so you ran faster than a rabbit." Lao Ban bluntly exposed the thoughts in Dao Jie's mind.
"Is that so, Miss Duan has also arrived, what a rare guest indeed." Thief Jue said, and immediately flashed in front of Duanyu with a swift step, continuing his usual carefree manner. However, Meng Ling felt it was strange, as she seemed to have heard the phrase "rare guest indeed" somewhere in her past life.
"This thief, could he have come from the 'Azeroth Continent'?" Meng Ling couldn't help but think. (The Azeroth Continent is the world of the online game "Dungeon & Warriors", every time you finish a dungeon run, a middle-aged woman will appear in front of you and say "Xī kè xī kē ah!" I believe everyone is familiar with it.)
The thief's humorous personality made Dreaming Cloud feel very compatible, and after a few rough conversations, everyone introduced themselves. Among them, the reputation of each person was distinguished. When the thief heard Gai Nie's name, he immediately said it was a "famous figure", but when it came to Tian Ming, he only said that he was a little kid brought by Gai Nie, which made Tian Ming grit his teeth in anger.
"Who is this girl?" asked Zei Ou, pointing at Meng Leng and asking Mr. Ban.
"This is Yuanniang, thanks to her help along the way, we were able to arrive here safely. However, Daojiao, you can exchange with her, she is also a master of lightness kung fu. After seeing Yuanniang's speed, your title of 'Number One Thief in the World' might be demoted." Mr. Ban said politely, after all, Meng Ling had saved their lives.
"Oh? Then I'd like to learn from you." Thief Easy said lazily, clearly somewhat skeptical.
"So, if there's a chance, please teach me more." Meng Ling said, and with a flash of movement, she was already behind Dao Jie. At this time, competing with each other might be the best way to make friends. This time, Meng Ling didn't use her Instant Step, but instead used the footwork she had just learned from Bai Feng Huang.
"Awesome, I can barely make out your movement trajectory, it's really awesome. Alright, now everyone please follow me." Thief said, and then led the crowd to a mechanism called "Cloud Ladder".
"What is Gai Nie doing here?" Thief Wugong asked softly to Mr. Ban on the cloud ladder.
"He is the leader's invited guest," said Mr. Ban.
"If Xiao Gao saw him, it would be troublesome," said Dao Zhi.
"Where is Xiao Gao now?" asked Mr. Ban.
"He is outside on an errand," replied Zeu.
"That's nothing then," said Mr. Pan.
"What are you whispering about? Who is Xiao Gao? Why can't he see Uncle?" Tian Ming asked, leaning in. Ge Nie had also overheard the conversation and seemed to have thought of something.
"Don't worry, I know more or less about what's going on with you guys. But this time, as long as Gai Ne brings that Tian Ming kid along, your so-called Xiao Gao won't make any moves." Meng Ling said with a smile.
"Why?" Everyone looked at Meng Ling.
"This little kid's surname is Jing, I think everyone should know a bit about it now." Meng Ling smiled.
"So that's how it is." Everyone who heard this completely understood, but they also saw that Meng Leng's eyes were different now.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm just good at this one thing. If you want to know some interesting facts about Qin Shi Huang, I can tell you too. After all, this tyrant has many fresh stories that can make people laugh out loud." Meng Ling said with a smile.
