After the fog, I became a birdman

In the center of the city, a thousand-meter-high tree is covered with green, yellow, and red fruits. Under the tree are more than fifty beasts of different sizes, almost all of which have been awakened four times. The fiery dragon with a red head and a fat belly has even awakened five times.

When the vulture sentry came to report, these powerful beasts were all discussing one thing.

"Hey, tell me, where did the Flying Snow Lion and the Ice Crystal Phoenix Bird go? They haven't appeared for a long time."

"It must have gone to sea because of that ice coffin." A lion with red fur sneered, "I guess it went to cooperate with that white dragon by the sea."

Hearing this, some monsters' eyes flickered slightly, and a flame rabbit said solemnly: "If they succeed, I'm afraid we will have another boss on our heads in the future, right?"

As soon as she spoke, everyone secretly looked at the fire dragon closest to the holy tree.

This is their city lord. The Fire Dragon King himself has noble blood, and the demon is very kind. Everyone respects and admires him, and he is not dissatisfied.

However, this is not the case for the Flying Snow Lion and the Ice Crystal Phoenix Bird. They used to be at odds with the Fire Dragon King. In the past, all the monster clans were fighting for territory. territory.

These three lived on a snow mountain last year, and there happened to be a volcano in the snow mountain. The Fire Dragon King lived in the volcano, and the Flying Snow Lion and Ice Crystal Phoenix lived in the snow field on the mountainside, each occupying the east and west sides.

Under the oppression of the two kings, the Fire Dragon King would often be robbed of his food, and he even said that he had grown stronger. Later, he simply abandoned his territory, and he didn't know where he went. When he came back, he suddenly awakened four times. Back then, all the monster kings were stronger.

As soon as he came back, everyone thought that he was going to rectify the demon clan and become the king. Unexpectedly, the first thing the Fire Dragon King did was to build the Sky Demon City.

It was only later that everyone found out that it was because of the sacred tree that the Fire Dragon King was able to break through so quickly. He established the Sky Demon City to protect the sacred tree, and even made a peace agreement with the plant clan.

The fact that the Fire Dragon King shared the sacred tree with all the clans was too kind, and it also saved everyone from a war between the two clans, and avoided a lot of losses. There is no Yaozu to challenge the position of the city lord.

It can be said that in the entire Sky Demon City, only the Flying Snow Lion and the Ice Crystal Phoenix Bird do not want the Fire Dragon King to be the city lord.

All the monsters had various doubts in their hearts. They didn't want to watch the excitement, but they were a little curious about why the Fire Dragon King never took revenge.

With his ability, he could have killed these two old enemies a long time ago, why did he keep letting these two monsters live to add to his troubles?

When the Fire Dragon King heard everyone talking about this matter, he didn't react at all. The monsters looked at each other in blank dismay, and wanted to talk about something else to test his attitude when they heard the subordinates shouting outside.

"Report!"

The Fire Dragon King opened his eyes, and the icy-eyed white tiger behind him roared, "Come in."

Two vulture guards ran in quickly: "Report to the city lord, deputy city lords, there are smoldering fires in the north, and there is fear of enemy attacks, so come to report."

"North?" A black smoke spewed out of the Fire Dragon King's nose, "Shuangwang Luanniao, please come to your husband and wife, if the white dragon does evil, block it first, and leave a monster to report back. It was cut off!"

Two red luan birds in the herd stood up: "Yes, the city lord!"

On the other side, Qi Jiang and Su Qing spent less than two hours remodeling the flying boat, making it even safer.

The two went back to catch up on the production line, and when they were still a day away from the Yaozu city, they met two fire ostriches who came to intercept them.

Qi Jiang and Su Qing, who had been warned by the Dragon Soul in advance, came to the deck together. Qi Jiang looked at the two fireballs flying in the distance: "Is this a ostrich?"

"It's kind of like, it's a bit of ostrich blood." Su Qing focused his gaze on the tail feathers of these two ostriches that resembled peacock feathers.

Luan is a red long-tailed bird. The most recognizable is its crest feathers, long tail and the colorful patterns on its feathers. These two phoenixes only have two tail feathers. The crests are not formed and the colorful patterns are not visible. , Su Qing's bloodline also belongs to the bird family, and one can tell at a glance that the bloodline of the phoenix on his body is very shallow.

Luanniao and his wife noticed a big ship flying ahead from a distance, and they looked at each other with some doubts in their hearts.

"Kunlong Chamber of Commerce? What a big tone." The male bird Luanniao said in a low voice.

"I've never seen this kind of big ship. It must be that the Chamber of Commerce has a lot of history. There are two humans on it. Go and meet them first." The female bird and the bird came up with an idea.

The husband and wife flew to the front of the flying boat, and the bird called loudly, and a bell-like call came, and it shouted in the air: "Do not intrude in the territory of the Sky Demon City. Dare to ask the two fellow human beings in front of you to come from here?" Where did you come from? Why did you trespass on the territory of my Sky Demon City?”

"Sky Demon City?" Su Qing's eyebrows twitched, he exchanged a glance with Qi Jiang, and said in a low voice, "What a big tone, does this city lord want to be the Demon Emperor?"

"Pretend you don't know." Qi Jiang shook his head slightly towards Su Qing, and responded to He Niao in a deep voice, "Our caravan comes from the Kunlong Chamber of Commerce. Four days ago, we saw a demon clan with metamorphosis going up the river, so we wanted to visit the place where the nobles gathered. , there is no road sign on this road, we didn't know this is your city's territory, please forgive me."

"Then I don't know if you two have seen the warning of the wolf smoke?" Luanniao asked in a deep voice, "Could it be that the two fellow Taoists don't even recognize the wolf smoke?"

"Is that a wolf smoke? Daoist and I thought it was fireworks welcoming our Kunlong Chamber of Commerce." Qi Jiang seemed to have just realized it.

"you……"

Heniao stopped the angry husband with his wings, shook his head slightly, and then said loudly: "Two friends, we have never heard of the Kunlong Chamber of Commerce, but since the two of you are from the Chamber of Commerce, you must also come to do business, how about Wait here first, wait for us to notify the city lord before discussing the follow-up matters?"

Qi Jiang seemed to nod his head, and he was dissatisfied in his words: "This matter is okay, but next time your city can send someone with higher strength to talk to us, the strength of the two of you is really a bit..."

He didn't finish his sentence, and the faces of Luanniao and his wife changed slightly, only then did they realize that they couldn't see the strength of these two humans?

If you don't see it, you are better than them.

Five awakenings!

Luanniao and his wife turned into human figures, and there was no trace of arrogance in their tone: "Don't blame seniors, this is the rule set by the city lord. We, husband and wife, have no intention of offending seniors."

I see you have quite a few.

Su Qing slandered in her heart, but she was used to being treated differently because of her strength.

"I see that you two are very aggressive, and I thought you came to Xingshi to inquire about crimes." Qi Jiang smiled, but his tone sounded quite gentle, but with a very oppressive tone, "Since they are not, then we can rest assured .”

"Senior, you were joking." Luanniao apologized, "As the saying goes, harmony makes money. Our Heavenly Demon City has always been friendly to guests. How could it be that you came to Xingshi to inquire about crimes?"

"That should be the two of us trespassing into the territory by mistake." Qi Jiang said with a hint of coldness in his tone.

Hearing this, the Luanniao couple immediately shook their heads: "Of course not!"

Qi Jiang raised his eyebrows, and He Niao defended him: "This matter is due to the negligence of my Heavenly Demon City. I actually forgot to add a road sign. It has nothing to do with the two seniors."

"Then we, husband and wife, can rest assured." Qi Jiang finally smiled.

Luanniao and his wife looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and then He Niao took the initiative to say: "Seniors, why don't you let my concubine lead the way? My husband will go back and report to the city lord first, and then I can clean up the dust for the two seniors. .”

Now that they were on the road, Qi Jiang ignored the earlier statement that he would wait for the report here, and nodded slightly: "That's troublesome."

"No trouble." Kazuto gave her husband a look.

Luanniao flew back to the city at the fastest speed with a little worry, Qi Jiang opened the defensive formation to let Heniao in.

Due to the existence of the ice formation, not only was the airship not hot, but it was still very cold, which formed a huge difference from the scorching sun in the sky.

Whether it is a human or a monster, it is easy to be sunburned and sunburned under the scorching sun, so the monsters going to the Sky Demon City have to go up the river, so that if they suffer from heat stroke, it is easy to relieve the heat, and there are many forests around them. Avoiding the scorching sun will not be so difficult.

Moreover, in the flying boat, the deck with the ice array is so cold that you have to wear long sleeves. There is also a pergola on the deck, which is covered with a layer of ice blue veil. The sun is dazzling.

The scorching heat of the dry season hardly had much impact on the boat, and Heniao was secretly surprised, and bowed his hands respectfully: "Seniors, sorry for the trouble."

Su Qing sat on the sofa and made tea for herself leisurely. The flowing movements were pleasing to the eye: "Sit down, don't be restrained."

Qi Jiang sat next to him, there was a plate of melon seeds on the table, he took it and peeled it slowly.

Sitting on another sofa with the bird, he looked at the ship without a trace, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he was, there were many things she had never seen before on just one deck.

Afterwards, she carefully observed the flag on the bow of the ship, and suddenly felt a chill after looking at it for a long time, as if there was some terrifying existence in the flag staring at her.

There was a barely visible smile on Su Qing's lips, put a cup of tea by Qi Jiang's hand, and looked up at him.

Qi Jiang shook his head lightly, the two of them acted as if they didn't know He Niao's movements, they didn't say anything, they looked secretly surprised from time to time while drinking tea while watching He Niao.

It seems that these messy functions they added to Feizhou are quite capable of bluffing demons.

--

"City Lord!"

Luan Niao anxiously flew directly from the air into the holy place in the center of the city. All the kings lying under the holy tree opened their eyes and raised their heads, feeling a bad premonition in their hearts.

Unless it was urgent, how could the luan bird enter from the sky so recklessly?

"Luanniao, why are you in such a panic?" Fire Dragon King stood up with a little puzzlement in his heart, his tall body cast a huge shadow, and the slight movement of his thick and long tail made Yao worry that he would be careless Come across the holy tree.

"City Lord, two human beings came from outside the city, driving a boat flying in the air, their strength is very powerful, they seem to have awakened five times." Luanniao hurriedly informed the Fire Dragon King of the situation.

Hearing this, the beasts were very surprised: "How many times have you awakened?"

"Five times!" Luanniao repeated.

The beasts were a little flustered, and looked at the Fire Dragon King, but the latter was calm: "That airship should be the legendary airship, where is the person?"

"Flying towards our city, and the bird has already boarded the boat to find out their details, and we will arrive in about two or three hours." Luanniao spoke very fast, and then remembered something, "Yes, They claim to be from the Kunlong Chamber of Commerce."

"Kunlong Chamber of Commerce? It's a big tone." Fire Dragon King spewed black smoke from his nose, "Everyone who comes from afar is a guest, Leng Bai, you go and arrange a banquet."

The icy-eyed white tiger stood up, exhaling cold air: "Yes! City Lord!"

"Lanshi, Jiupeng, Cangkong, Shiqing, Langfeng, Roushui, Huoji, you all go to strengthen the security in the city and attend the banquet together."

A stone man, a roc with a vulture head, a small yellow hamster, a blue lion, a silver giant wolf, a thin blue snake and a white rabbit with flaming eyes Stand up: "Yes! Santo!"

"The rest of the demons stay in the Holy Land, not a single speck of dust is allowed in!"

"Yes! City Lord!"

The Fire Dragon King nodded in satisfaction, turned into a complete human form, raised his handsome face, and said calmly, "Go."

All the demons performed their duties and acted according to the orders. The Fire Dragon King also left the holy land and went to the city lord's mansion.

Qi Jiang and the others can probably guess the reaction of the Yaozu city after Luanniao returned, and the defense must be stricter than before.

Three hours later, a flying boat slowly appeared in front of the Sky Demon City. All the monsters coming in and out of the city gate didn't know anything about it, and they all raised their heads and looked at the flying boat in the sky curiously.

"What is this? The ship can actually fly?"

"It seems to be Mr. Katori on it."

"Is it a ship from our Sky Demon City?",

"Huh? There's a flag on the boat, what's written on it? Why isn't it written in our monster clan's language?"

"That seems to be human writing."

"Humans? What are the people from Nancheng doing here?"

All the demons below were discussing, Qi Jiang and Su Qing in the flying boat both heard the word "Nancheng", looked at each other, and wrote down the words.

"Ms. Heniao, where is our flying boat parked?" Qi Jiang didn't find any parking lot outside the city.

It is also a bit difficult for Heniao. The monster race does not have all kinds of craftsmen like humans, and they rarely have cars. Generally, the goods are traded in the city on their own, so there is no place to park vehicles in the city.

After a while, Heniao, who had been smiling and not speaking, pointed out a place to Qi Jiang.

The flying boat flew into the canyon and entered the Tianyao City from the wide gate. Qi Jiang glanced at it and found that there were many guard posts in the dark and many patrols on the street.

They came to a school yard, where the resting Yaozu took out their weapons and stood up, only to sit down again when they saw Kazuto on it.

"Seniors, the flying boat is precious, and many monster races have never seen it before. It's better to stop here. I will let someone take care of it, and there will be no mistakes."

Qi Jiang didn't have any objections, and even nodded along with her words: "It is true that the goods on our ship cannot be lost, so let's put them here."

As soon as the words fell, a ostrich flew from the sky, landed on the ground and turned into a human form and bowed its hands respectfully: "Seniors, the city lord welcomes you."

Su Qing put down the teacup in his hand, stood up slowly, caressed his clothes, and raised his feet to Qi Jiang's side: "Let's go, get off the boat and have a look at the customs and customs in Tianyao City."

Qi Jiang smiled slightly: "Alright."

He Niao smiled and begged, just as he was about to fly down, the next second the railing of the flying boat was partially dented, and a staircase appeared on the edge.

She was startled again, but maybe it was because she had seen a lot of novel things along the way, she was used to it, so she didn't delay any time, turned around and walked towards the stairs to lead the way for Qi and Su.

Stepping off the flying boat, He Niao and her husband meet up. The two monsters, one on the left and one on the right, lead the way for Qi Jiang and Su Qing respectively.

It seems that I am not afraid of someone sneaking up there.

Luanniao and his wife looked at each other, they both felt that Qi Jiang and the others had no fear, they were afraid that something might happen that would embarrass the Sky Demon City, so they hurriedly recruited people to watch the flying boat, and expressly forbid anyone to get on it.

This move was in the hands of Qi Su and the others. Feizhou can't place too strong a defensive formation now, it can still stop it after four awakenings, if it is stronger, their defensive formation will definitely be broken.

Since Luanniao and his wife are so caring, Qi Su and the others are also relieved, at least some embarrassing scenes can be temporarily avoided.

Sky Demon City is a very magnificent stone city, with a rough overall style, simple and tall buildings, and all kinds of patrol soldiers here are also very vigilant and powerful.

Luanniao and his wife led the way and introduced them to some things in Tianyao City.

Su Qing seemed fascinated by what he heard, walked out of the school grounds to the street, looked at the street vendors, and asked curiously: "Do you have any shops in Tianyao City?"

"Of course there is, it's right in front." Hetori pointed to a place outside the street, "That's the commercial street. If you're interested, senior, you can go shopping there in the future. There are a lot of good things there."

"Since there is a commercial street, why are there still demons setting up stalls on the street?" Su Qing frowned, "Won't it look messy?"

"Senior misunderstood. These vendors are from weak races, and they sell very few things. After paying the management fee, there is not much left. The city lord thought that they had a long way to go back and forth, so he allowed everyone to set up stalls on both sides of the main road, but they were not allowed to shout."

"That's quite kind." Su Qing nodded lightly. When passing by the entrance of the commercial street, he glanced inside and saw that there were many vendors and a wide variety of goods inside. He felt that the purchasing power of this market was quite good. good.

Qi Jiang focused his attention on the transaction method of bartering: "I don't know if your city has a unified currency? What is the current mainstream transaction method in your city?"

Luanniao nodded: "The unified currency is Lingshi, but it can also be bartered. Many monster clans are accustomed to the latter trading method. This is also the mainstream trading method in our Sky Demon City."

They quickly left the vicinity of the commercial street and followed the main road to another city wall.

"Inside is the inner city of our Sky Demon City." Luanniao and Heniao introduced in unison.

Two people and two monsters went in together, the number of monsters inside was significantly reduced, and the clothes on their bodies were obviously much more refined, and there were no vendors beside the main road. The commercial street here mainly uses spirit stones to pay.

"What are the requirements for entering the inner city on weekdays?" Qi Jiang didn't notice any monsters from the outer city entering.

"The monsters who have awakened three times can enter freely." Luanniao replied.

Then why didn't you see anyone coming in?

Qi Jiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and didn't ask any more. Su Qing, who was beside him, was curious about the question that Qi Jiang asked. After getting the answer, although he still had questions about other things in his heart, he was not very interested, so he talked with Qi Jiang. The same did not speak again.

The City Lord's Mansion is in the center of the inner city. This is a tall red mansion with a very flamboyant color style. It is very different from the gray and white buildings of the Sky Demon City as a whole, and it is also very eye-catching.

Qi Jiang and Su Qing turned a corner and noticed the City Lord's Mansion at first glance.

"This is our city lord's mansion." Luanniao introduced with a smile, "Seniors, the city lord has hosted a banquet for the two of you, and several deputy city lords are also inside."

How many deputy city lords?With regard to the simple management model of Sky Demon City, how many deputy city masters are needed to coordinate?

Qi Jiang shook his head slightly in his heart. Although he didn't draw any bad conclusions for the Lord of the Sky Demon City, he also felt that this person's management ability was a bit average.

Along the way, Qi Jiang discovered one thing. From the situation Luanniao introduced to him, he could probably guess what the management model of Sky Demon City is.

The higher the strength, the higher the status of the demon in the city, which is understandable, but at the same time, the strength is high, and some important positions are also held, many of which are management positions. This management model has a big problem.

Of course, Qi Jiang just didn't agree with it in his heart, and he didn't plan to discuss the management of the city with Sky Demon City.

At the gate of the Sky Demon City stood six humanoid tiger monsters holding long guns. Qi Jiang made a calculation in his mind, and among the guard posts they encountered along the way, the number of tiger monsters was the largest.

Either the city lord is from the tiger clan, or the city lord values ​​the tiger clan very much.

As soon as they walked over, the human-shaped tiger monsters at the door all raised their chests and said hello in unison, with a very loud voice: "Master Luanniao! Master Heniao!"

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. These are our guests from Sky Demon City, Senior Qi and Senior Su." Luanniao gave him a look.

"Senior Qi! Senior Su!"

Qi Jiang and Su Qing just nodded slightly, and then followed Luanniao and his wife into the city lord's mansion.

As soon as they entered the door, they found a handsome man in a red robe standing on the corridor in front of him, and beside and behind him stood some monster races, all of whom had awakened four times.

Beside the handsome man stood only a white tiger man, and behind him stood a three-meter-tall stone man, a vulture man whose blood was more like a bird, a short hamster man with puffy cheeks, and a There is a lion man with a blue lion head, a werewolf with a silver wolf head, and a very slender snake girl with a blue triangle snake head, and the last rabbit man has flames in his eyes.

Among the nine people in this group, or in the entire Sky Demon City, except for this handsome man, the other monster races are either half-formed or beast-shaped.

Qi Su and the handsome man looked at each other from a distance, and when they looked at each other, they were engaged in a kind of confrontation and temptation without gunpowder.

The handsome man is the Fire Dragon King. He belongs to the dragon family, with noble blood and powerful strength, but when he saw Qi Jiang, his pupils suddenly shrank.

This man gave him a very dangerous feeling, as if everything about him was invisible in this man's eyes.

On the other side, Qi Jiang could tell the attributes of the Fire Dragon King at a glance. This is also a dragon, a type of sky dragon, but its blood is not pure, so it doesn't have wings.

They heard a lot of news about the city lord along the way, knowing that the city lord is a fire dragon king, and Qi Jiang is also a dragon, so they naturally made preparations.

Qi Jiang's eyes that see through him really bothered the monster. The Fire Dragon King subconsciously clenched his fists to resist the urge to tremble, and asked his partner in his body, "Senior, help me see the blood attributes of this man."

"I can't tell, there is an existence of the same level as me on him, and he has covered his breath in advance." An old voice sounded from the Fire Dragon King's body.

As soon as this old voice appeared, the eyes of Qi Jiang and Su Qing flashed together, and the Fire Dragon King had a bad premonition in his heart.

When meeting for the first time, without the other demons knowing, the Fire Dragon King fell into a disadvantage.

However, he has always been relatively calm, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled very calmly and kindly: "The two seniors came to the humble house, and it was really rude for Yan to welcome you from a distance. Please don't blame the two seniors."

The faces of all the monster races around him changed slightly: Senior?Six awakenings? !
