Rules of Heaven - C95

Hearing his urgent words, Duan Ling Tian raised his head and gazed into the distance. He saw a huge turtle shaped creature that was comparable to the size of four small rooms crawling over with difficulty step by step. “Is there something special about this turtle?”

Chu Ran was slightly afraid of Duan Ling Tian as he said, “This sand tortoise isn’t anything special, but its natural disposition is gentle and it normally doesn’t want to hurt others. But if it is stimulated to within two meters from its neck, it will be shocked, and its speed will increase by more than ten times the speed of normal horses! ”

Duan Ling Tian asked curiously, “There’s actually such a miraculous creature?”

Chu Ran didn’t know what to say, so he could only remain silent.

Ding Hong looked ahead and said, “Then let’s hurry up and go over there.”

Chu Ran nodded and led the caravan towards the sand tortoise. It was only when Ding Hong arrived in front of the sand tortoise did Ding Hong realize how slow the tortoise’s movements were. When Ding Hong was more than 200 feet away, the tortoise raised its foot and stepped forward. However, when Ding Hong arrived in front of it, the tortoise only raised its feet. Seeing three people and three camels, the sand tortoise glanced sideways at them and ignored them.

Ding Hong said in embarrassment, “Ahem, this old man is so elegant.”

Chu Ran came to the side of the sand tortoise and alighted from the camel. He climbed up the tortoise shell following the tail and said, “Come up.”

Duan Ling Tian glanced at Chu Ran before looking at Ding Hong. Ding Hong nodded. The two of them got off the camel and jumped onto the turtle shell. Ding Hong threw the three-skinned camel into the mountain and river bag. Ding Hong really couldn’t let go of this bag of mountains and rivers. Initially, he did not know that the bag could hold living creatures. However, Chu Ran and Xiao Budian had become a fortuitous experiment and let Ding Hong know that the bag had this kind of heaven-defying function.

Ding Hong also thought that if they could fit at least one Sky Battleship according to the range of the Mountain and River Pouch, and if he could board one and put it in the bag, he would have to take out the Sky Battleship and blast it into the surroundings if he met with any danger. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Duan Ling Tian was slightly baffled as he asked, “What are you thinking about now?”

Ding Hong chuckled and said, “Of course it’s a good thing.”

Duan Ling Tian rolled his eyes at her, too lazy to pay any attention to her. She had been hanging out with Ding Hong for quite some time and was always rendered speechless by his strange actions. She wanted to put on her usual cold expression, but she always felt that it was a little strange.

Or was there a little reluctance?

When Chu Ran saw the two of them, he hesitated for a moment before replying in a low voice, “Be careful.”

Ding Hong smiled as he nodded. Duan Ling Tian, on the other hand, had an ice-cold expression on his face as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. Chu Ran came to the side of the sand tortoise’s neck and pointed at a spot where he had found it. He then pressed his thumb heavily on the tortoise’s neck.

“Aooo!”

The sand tortoise let out a howl. It didn’t hide its head like it usually did, but rather stuck it out halfway. Its originally lazy and tired eyes suddenly turned into an oval, revealing its extremely terrified light. It opened its four legs on the outside and instantly doubled in size. Then, it started to sprint forward at full speed.

Because Ding Hong had the experience of controlling the sword, he didn’t mind this sudden acceleration. Duan Ling Tian was even more at ease, and would occasionally tilt his head to look at the nearby scenery. When Chu Ran saw the attitude of the two, his face was filled with astonishment. The first time he had ridden on the sand tortoise, he had been knocked directly under the tortoise’s butt by the recoil.

He placed his hands on the two sides of the place where the sand tortoise was pressed on earlier. If he pressed the left button, the tortoise would change its body and run to the right, and if he pressed the right button, the tortoise would turn around and run to the left. When Ding Hong saw this marvel, he could not help but exclaim, “The desert has grown big and a turtle like this has appeared!”

At this moment, the sand tortoise’s speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it had covered over a hundred Zhang. However, after running for four to five hours, the sand tortoise would slow down and gradually stop. Seeing this, Chu Ran didn’t hesitate to press the button again. This cycle went on for five or six days and the sand tortoise actually brought the three of them to a desert plain!

Usually, the plains that Ding Hong saw were covered with yellow soil and overgrown with weeds, but they were at least a piece of land. But when he saw that this place was entirely covered by the desert, he was completely speechless.

Chu Ran had left the sand tortoise at the edge of the forest and had used some unknown method to make it stop. When he arrived, he was visibly excited. He could not help but take in a deep breath of the sandy air.

Although the sandstorm was constantly blowing, it did not hurt. Instead, it gave people a refreshing feeling. Just as Ding Hong was lamenting, Chu Ran came to his side and asked carefully, “After entering the Pan Family’s domain, what do I call you?”

Ding Hong casually said, “Isn’t it fine for your relatives to do that?”

When he said the two words “relatives”, Chu Ran’s expression became much dimmer. After that, he hurriedly recovered his spirit and glanced at Duan Ling Tian in secret. To be honest, he secretly sized up Duan Ling Wan for who knows how many times, because he noticed that Duan Ling Tian was too beautiful. He had never seen such a beautiful woman before. When he felt that Duan Ling Tian had noticed something, he hurriedly returned to his senses and brought the two of them to walk forward.

There were some inexplicable plants growing in the surrounding desert. Most of these plants looked like vines, but they were all incomparably hard. Beneath the plant were tough thorns, and at the top of the plants were bent bunches of something that looked like wheat stalks.

Ding Hong was astonished. He could not help but ask, “What are those wheat ears?”

Chu Ran said, “Naturally, it’s still the ears of wheat.”

Ding Hong was stunned for a moment before he asked, “Why is that so?”

Chu Ran stopped and pointed to the ears of wheat, saying, “The ears of wheat on there were grafted over. They were isolated species that could not survive in the water filled regions of the Heavenly Regions and could survive in the desert. It is said that only one kind of solitary wheat will grow in the tens of millions of grains. ”

Ding Hong smiled and said, “Then your ancestors are really amazing.”

The old farmer Buggy, who was cleaning up the desert, overheard Ding Hong’s words and immediately stood up. He angrily said, “Why are you talking like that?! Isn’t our ancestor your ancestor? ”

Ding Hong was unable to say that it was naturally because of this, and even more so because of the awkwardness on his face. He could only pretend that it was unintentional as he moved his body and left with Chu Ran and Duan Ling Wan.

The further in they went, the denser the population became. Ding Hong was gradually overwhelmed by shock by the gradually leaking information about their prosperity. Originally, he could see some wooden houses on the outskirts, but as he went deeper in, he discovered that the houses inside were all made of steel! Moreover, the structure was quite unique. Among them, the gigantic building that was over a hundred feet tall had won by a few steps.

However, these houses had unique shapes, they were round, square, oval, irregular, and so on.

Ding Hong couldn’t help but be astonished in his heart. This Pan Clan, after so many years, had finally developed into such a terrifying existence.

The building behind it was no different from the one he had just seen, but there was a blurry mountain-like object in the area that was blocked by the sand and wind.

The streets were neither wide nor narrow, barely enough for the people to walk past. Because of this, the sand under their feet was moved, and then swept up by the crowd, forming a strange light yellow storm.

Suddenly, a droning sound could be heard as several bird-like aircrafts flew over their heads. The people were all sitting in the middle of the airships, while the back row was filled with goods.

Ding Hong pointed at the flying machine and whispered, “What is that?”

Chu Ran glanced at it and said, “Small transport airships are responsible for transporting goods in the outer city. Actually, there are many of these puppets on the ground. However, there are some streets that don’t allow them to appear.”

When Ding Hong heard this, he could not help but feel a little baffled. The Pan Clan’s business history was definitely not as long as the people of the Sky Region, but why was the Pan Clan developing so quickly?

Duan Ling Tian naturally noticed the flying machine as well. His eyes flickered with a brilliant light as he said, “The male loser’s Heaven’s Might Bird seems to have the same skill as this thing.”

Chu Ran stopped and asked, “A male loser?”

Duan Ling Tian nodded.

Chu Ran muttered to himself and said, “I seem to have heard that in such a family, there is also a Mo family? “All the seniors in the past have said that their mechanical skills are amazing. I wonder if they are as strong as our Pan Clan.”

Duan Ling Tian glanced at her and said, “Where’s the Free Life Tower?”

Along the way, Ding Hong told her everything that the Pan Family had to offer, and Duan Ling Tian more or less knew about it.

Chu Ran was a bit hesitant, but he still pointed at the sand fog in front of them and said, “You can see some brown spots. It’s the Stone Tower.”

Ding Hong and Duan Ling Tian’s expressions changed at the same time when these words were spoken.

The brown area behind the sand fog was extremely wide, to the point that Ding Hong had to turn his body half a circle to clearly see the range.

Chu Ran said, “Actually, there aren’t many people living in the four pagodas. Most of them are wealthy and powerful, and they all live above a thousand floors. The distance between the first thousand floors and the first thousand floors is only a foundation to prevent it from collapsing.” He looked at the tower which was hidden behind the sand fog. His eyes were filled with disgust.

Ding Hong said, “You must go from there to the tower?”

Chu Ran nodded and said, “There are many sky battleships guarding the skies above the Endless Sea. If a few flying ships don’t follow the normal route, they will be destroyed.”

Ding Hong asked, “Then how do we get to the tower?”

Chu Ran thought for a moment before replying, “I have to get on a flying ship at a designated location.”

Ding Hong said, “Then let’s go there.”

Chu Ran nodded. Just as he took two steps, he stopped and with an awkward expression, he said: “You have to pay up from that place. I, I didn’t bring any money …”

“… ….” Is it possible to use silver? ”

Chu Ran nodded and said, “But it would be better if it was broken.”

Ding Hongdong felt around and finally took out two taels of crushed silver. He handed it over to Chu Ran with a twitch in his eyes. He said in embarrassment, “There’s nothing I can do. There’s only this much broken silver.”

Duan Ling Tian rolled his eyes at Ding Hong and casually tossed a small bag to Chu Ran without saying a word. Chu Ran took the bag and examined it before replying, “It’s about time.”

He brought the two of them into the distance and stopped in front of a house with a huge terrace on top of it. “This should be fine.”

To be honest, this was Chu Ran’s first time in the vicinity of the tower. He had taken a special transport ship to catch the bugs. He used to live under the tower, and when he wanted to go up, he had to pass by this place.

After the three entered, they found that there weren’t many people. Chu Ran walked in front of an iron counter and shouted, “Is there anyone here?”

“Who is it? They’re coming soon, fixing things won’t let us have peace. ” It was a young man’s voice, but his voice was filled with dissatisfaction, as if he was very unwilling for others to interrupt his work. He muttered a few sentences, and then came a ringing sound. “Don’t hold me back from my work!”

Chu Ran placed the silver taels on top and smiled, “Fellow brother, I would like to trouble you. We would like to go to the Free Life Tower to transport the Sky Ship to the airport. Would that be convenient for us?”

The teenager picked up the money bag and felt slightly satisfied: “Since that’s the case, I’ll reluctantly send you guys up.” But what are you doing at the airport? ”

Chu Ran said, “Naturally, we are going there to take the transport airship back to the Stone Tower.”

The youth loosened his grip, and the purse landed on the iron counter with a “pa” sound. He helplessly said, “I can’t help you with this. Recently, there have been some problems with the mister and the elders that prevented the airport from flying. Those cargo ships have stopped flying long ago.” He looked at the three of them with a regretful expression.

When Ding Hong and Duan Ling Tian heard about this situation, they couldn’t help but look at each other.

Chu Ran was taken aback as he asked, “Then when will this airport open?”

The youth shrugged his shoulders and said, “Who knows?” After he finished speaking, his eyes rolled left and right, and he stretched his head out to look around. Then, he leaned against the counter, and with a grave expression, he whispered, “I heard it’s related to the Great Black God.”

Ding Hong hastily turned his head over and also put on a solemn expression. He asked, “What exactly is going on?”

“I heard that the Great Black God lost something important, and is currently vigorously searching for it. In order to not let the Pan Clan come in contact with them, the Pan Clan’s elders have stopped their cargo of flying ships, so I don’t know when they will be able to recover from this.”

Ding Hong said with a frown, “In that case, won’t we be unable to return to the Stone Tower?”

The youth sized up the three of them from a new angle, then stopped on Duan Ling Tian’s body for a while before saying to Ding Hong, “What are the two of you doing here?”

Ding Hong said, “Naturally, he came here to sell some goods along with the cargo ship. At this time, he suddenly stopped talking. What should we do now?”
