Chapter 443: Shuihua City
Chapter 443: Shuihua City
The two stepped out of the house, and Li Qian surveyed the scene before him. It was not what he had expected.
Shuihua City was indeed a small-scale city.
Low-rise buildings surrounded them, the tallest reaching only six or seven stories.
All were constructed with a greenish-blue marble, giving the city a simple yet elegant appearance.
These structures adhered to the architectural principles of the dimensional plane, focusing on practicality.
As they walked out of the security zone near the dimensional rift, the streets became more bustling with adventurers.
The aura emanating from these adventurers indicated their formidable strength.
Upon reflection, this made sense.
After all, without sufficient strength, they wouldn't have obtained intermediate or advanced adventurer badges, making it impossible to enter this third-layer dimensional plane.
As they strolled through Shuihua City, Duan Kong continued his introduction, "Shuihua City is one of the smaller cities built by our Jiangnan Beastmaster University in the third-layer dimensional plane."
Li Qian nodded, indicating his understanding.
Even for a small city, there were varying degrees of scale.
This was related to the environment in which it was located.
The safer the environment, the larger the city could potentially develop.
Duan Kong's words suggested that the surroundings of Shuihua City, within the third-layer dimensional plane controlled by Jiangnan Beastmaster University, were particularly dangerous.
"Unlike other cities in the third-layer dimensional plane, Shuihua City is an island city," Duan Kong continued.
"This island is called Shuihua Island, surrounded by the Black Ocean!"
"Black Ocean?" Li Qian shot Duan Kong a questioning glance.
Duan Kong didn't keep him in suspense, directly revealing the truth, "The ocean around Shuihua Island is as black as ink, hence its name 'Black Ocean'."
"The Black Ocean is exceptionally perilous, teeming with various extraordinary beings of the water and dark types."
"Even Imperial-grade and Holy Spirit Rank beings are not uncommon here."
Hearing this, Li Qian couldn't help but exclaim, "It's no easy feat for Shuihua City to establish itself here."
"Indeed, it's not easy."
Duan Kong agreed, "To establish Shuihua City, our Jiangnan Beastmaster University has paid a significant price."
"Of course, the price is worth the rewards."
"The resources of extraordinary beasts and materials near Shuihua City are also abundant, providing us with a good return."
After arriving in Shuihua City, Li Qian and Duan Kong still didn't visit the local guardian.
As they walked and talked, they soon reached the airship base on the eastern side of the city.
Due to Duan Kong's special status, they didn't go through the regular process of buying tickets. Instead, they used their privileges to board a VIP cabin for free.
The VIP cabin, located at the top of the airship, was encased in a high-strength glass dome, offering an excellent view of the surrounding scenery.
"It takes about five hours to travel from here to Fangyuan City on the Dongji Continent, and about eight hours to reach Heiyu City," Duan Kong explained the return route.
"Fangyuan City has a dimensional rift leading to the second-layer dimensional plane, while Heiyu City has a direct rift to the shallow-layer dimensional plane. By going to Heiyu City, we can save some time."
"Mm." Li Qian nodded in agreement, naturally having no objections to Segong's arrangements.
The VIP cabin had few passengers, and with Li Qian and Segong, there were only about ten people in total.
After sitting for a while, Segong spoke up, "Take note, it's about to get dark soon."
Just as Segong's words fell, the already dim sky suddenly plunged into complete darkness.
This scene was identical to what they had witnessed in Yingluo City.
It was as if the lights had been abruptly turned off, making no sense.
However, Li Qian wasn't surprised, having experienced this a few times before.
Even during the day, the sky remained dim, with low visibility, so the airship kept its lights on.
Now, with the sky completely dark, only a few more light sources were added.
The airship scattered light in all directions, speeding rapidly towards a specific direction.
"Under normal circumstances, this airship wouldn't be flying at night. Flying at night is extremely dangerous," Segong said casually, sitting next to Li Qian, as if discussing a mundane matter.
Li Qian was left perplexed by these words.
"It was my request," Segong said calmly.
"Although flying at night is quite dangerous, with me escorting and protecting you, it's a different matter."
Li Qian: "..."
It seemed he had been outwitted again.
Segong mentioned that flying at night was very dangerous, and indeed, his words proved accurate.
After about two hours of flying, unusual noises emerged from the front of the airship.
"Woooo..."
In the pitch-black night sky ahead, eerie wails suddenly echoed, sounding mournful and plaintive, sending shivers down the spines of everyone on the airship.
"It's that thing! It's a bit troublesome. Old Bone, go and chase it away!"
Hearing these words, Segong's face slightly changed. Without hesitation, he leaped, and just at that moment, the glass door of the VIP cabin opened, providing an exit.
He leaped out of the VIP cabin.
After exiting, Segong took decisive action, summoning the Undead Bone Dragon.
The appearance of the Undead Bone Dragon instantly caused a stir.
"Undead Ancient Dragon!"
"With such might, it must be the Sage Kong from Jiangnan Beast Taming University's corresponding dimensional plane."
"With Sage Kong here, no wonder this airship dares to fly the night shift."
"..."
Li Qian overheard some of the whispered discussions and couldn't help but think: It seems that Teacher Segong's reputation in Jiangnan Beast Taming University's dimensional plane is quite high.
As Li Qian pondered, the summoned Undead Bone Dragon flew off in a specific direction.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
"Splash!"
Not long after the Undead Bone Dragon flew out, a series of explosions and the sound of heavy objects falling into the water reverberated in the air ahead.
Fortunately, this commotion didn't last long. In less than ten minutes, Segong leaped back through the opening in the glass door.
It seemed the issue had been resolved.
