Magic Tech’s Lair

October 11, afternoon.

It rained heavily.

The clouds outside the city of the sky were as thick as ink, and there were thunder and lightning flashes. Sometimes lightning struck the city's defense system from a higher place, flashing on and off alternately.

The city in the sky at this moment is like a giant ship breaking through the waves amidst endless thunder and lightning, enduring the baptism of the storm.

However, thunder and lightning did not pose much threat to Sky City, but rather a boost.

Whenever lightning falls, it will be absorbed by the defensive light walls that emerge outside the city, and then converted and stored in energy towers throughout the city, becoming part of the city's defense reserve energy.

In the city, many people were looking up at the strange changes in the lightning being absorbed by the city's defensive wall.

"The defense system of the city in the sky can absorb lightning for its own use, but why is the thunder and lightning blocked when it falls, while the rain that falls at the same time is not hindered at all and can fall into the city? How is this possible? "

"I don't understand. City Lord Cao's semiotic ability is famous all over the world. It seems to be his method."

There are quite a few people from various forces in the city who have only recently moved into the Sky City. Because of this thunderstorm, they discovered the uniqueness of the city defense system and discussed with each other.

In the city lord's mansion, Boss Cao turned off the pet master's assistant.

He had just checked the ant colony that was still heading deep into the jungle, approaching the interface aircraft that Abalone said had fallen in the depths of the jungle.

After traveling for such a long time, the ant colony has penetrated into an area of ​​millions of miles in the jungle, but it is still far away from the place where the interface aircraft fell.

After Cao Yan turned off the assistant system, he left the City Lord's Mansion alone, and came to a classical tower-style building with hanging corners and cornices adjacent to the City Lord's Mansion.

This building is in the shape of an octagon, and on the cornices in each direction, there is a bronze sculpture of an alien animal, with dragons and tigers crouching in different shapes and lifelike.

The whole building is divided into nine floors, and the higher the level, the higher the level of the animal sculptures, gradually appearing various dragon creatures, phoenixes and other legendary totem monsters.

Above the main entrance of this exquisitely shaped building with a rather large area is written: Home of Magic Pets - Sky City Main Store.

The property under Cao Yan's name continued to expand after cooperating with the Fantmoore family, and it was time for the main store in Sky City to come into being.

After the opening of this main store, it will become the first magic pet store on the mainland that sells king monsters in limited quantities.

As soon as the relevant publicity was released, there was still a month before the opening, and pet masters from all over the world had already rushed to Sky City, preparing to participate in the process of bidding for the King of Warcraft.

With Cao Yan's current professional level and influence, it is logical that the shop under his name sells the King of Warcraft openly, and there is no need to worry as much as before.

Cao Yan walked into the store, and a group of staff who were busy decorating the store looked at him at the same time, and many of them had undisguised fanaticism and admiration in their eyes, as if they were diehard fans.

Cao Yan and the staff nodded slightly, walked into the short-distance teleportation circle inside the store, and suddenly climbed to the top floor of the store and walked into a room.

Wang Li wore an apricot-yellow waist-tight shirt, her slender legs were covered under the white skirt, and half of her smooth and round calves were exposed from under the skirt, which was charming and charming.

Da Ma, Jiang Zi, Ji Wen and others were also beside Wang Li, and they looked down at a large blueprint.

The unlucky bear was lying on the chair beside him, sleeping recklessly, snoring undulatingly.

The little fat dog ran around the legs of everyone on the ground, entertaining himself.

It is worth mentioning that the big cat who was sent to Erzhuzi by Cao Yan a while ago has been released after serving his sentence, and is squatting bored at the window, watching the pedestrians on the street outside the window.

This guy was sent to Erzhuzi last time, thinking that Cao Yan was going to have a sterilization operation on himself, he was so frightened that he fainted. After waking up, he found that Erzhuzi hadn't really cut it, and felt lucky to have escaped from death.

But it has been with Er Zhuzi for so long, watching Er Zhuzi's "ruthlessness" every day to make people crush the eggs of various creatures into medicine, and then eat them, the big cats are flustered, and they have been in this kind of environment for a long time. The root of the disease is branded under the state.

This guy has lost his coquettish capital, and hasn't had the normal reaction of a male creature for a long time.

Now seeing the little female cat, the big cat has no waves, calm like a holy cat.

Seeing Cao Yan walk in from the outside, the guy shrugged his head, gave him a loveless look, and slowly turned back to look out the window.

"Mr. Cao."

"Young Master Cao!"

"..."

Seeing Cao Yan coming in, Gyangze, Ji Wen and others greeted him one after another.

"What are you doing?" Cao Yan asked.

"Discuss the layout of this store, and you can help us see it?" Wang Li said.

Cao Yan said hello, carefully looked at the blueprint in front of him, and discussed with everyone.

The afternoon slipped away quietly, and after being separated from the crowd at night, Cao Yan took Wang Li back to the magic city and went to the mother-in-law's house for dinner.

The moonlight is bright and clear, as clear as water.

In the Haiya courtyard outside the city of Modu, Cao Yan, who came back here after dinner, lay sprawled on the bed, and asked Wang Li: "During the meal just now, your mother said that I exhausted you.

I see you've been quite busy recently, how about giving you two days off? "

After taking a bath, Wang Li wore a loose white T-shirt, sat on the head of the bed with her long, bare legs, and held a pen and paper in her hand. She was writing on the paper and coordinating the various expenditures for the opening of the main store, and asked: " Have you had time to rest recently?"

"En." Cao Yan replied: "Let's rest together for a few days. Is there any place you've always wanted to go? Let's go for a walk."

Wang Li then put down her pen and was a little moved, and said: "When I was a child, I often heard news reports that professionals went into and out of the jungle to unearth the remains of ancient civilizations; I saw giant trees that reached the sky, and there were bird nests on the trees that were as big as a city, etc. Wait for similar news. Later, I met you, and you often go in and out of the jungle... Actually, I have always wanted to go to the depths of the jungle."

Cao Yan smiled and said, "It's that simple."

Wang Li nodded.

Cao Yan: "Think about it clearly. Going deep into the jungle is very hard work. There are many mosquitoes. After we go in, we can't do anything casually. Otherwise, as soon as we take off our pants (harmony), our buttocks will be swollen by mosquito bites. "

"Pfft..."

Wang Li listened very seriously at first, but now her face was flushed, and she grabbed a pillow and threw it on Cao Yan's head amidst her coquettish laughter.

More than ten minutes later, in the depths of the jungle where a certain ant colony was exploring, the space was filled with fluctuations. Cao Yan took the location of the ant colony as the coordinates, carried out space projection, and brought Wang Li into the jungle.

Cao Yan did what he said, and set off into the jungle overnight. Wang Li, who followed him, was both surprised and looking forward to it.

Cao Yan put on her long-unused agricultural clothes to increase her safety factor in the jungle.

The dress was transformed into a full-body swimsuit, which perfectly fit the body shape, showing the ups and downs of Wang Li's slim figure, like a mermaid looking at the moon from the water at night.

The stars and the moon shine together in the sky.

Listening carefully, in the night, the roar of insects and beasts can be heard in the jungle. Under the light of the stars, the trees form all kinds of strange shadows, intertwined and scattered, and there are many shadows.

Cao Yan helped her open the holographic mask of the cultivation outfit, and turned on the thermal and night vision functions.

Suddenly, the jungle shrouded in night became colorful, and the scenes near and far were clearly presented in Wang Li's eyes.

A little far away, there was a gopher hiding behind a tree, taking advantage of the night, poking its head out quietly, and looking at their gophers;

In the other direction, there is a petite night fox;

On the branch of a tree farther away, squatting an elegant purple light leopard;

There are also dancing demon butterflies with bright fluorescent lights on their wings, flying around, and there are many of them.

In the jungle at night, there are dangers everywhere in the fantasy and magnificence, where life and death coexist.

Wang Li excitedly grabbed Cao Yan's hand: "Are we going to live in the jungle tonight?"

Cao Yan nodded and threw a trapping ball.

On the tree branch above, an eagle evolved from an ant immediately landed, grabbed the trap ball, and flew up, and finally took out a top from the trap ball on another branch higher up. Camping tents, hanging from tree branches.

The tent is like hanging on a fishing rod, floating in the air and swaying with the wind.

A few minutes later, Cao Yan took Wang Li into the tent.

The material of the tent is special, with metal as the frame, it looks light, but it is actually very strong, and there are all kinds of items inside.

Cao Yan hung several trapping balls in the tent, using the space inside the balls to form the bathroom, kitchen, study and other layouts.

This small tent turned out to be a luxurious tent with three bedrooms and two living rooms, it was too extravagant.

Wang Li was dumbfounded.

"This tent was sent by Kang Qingyue a few days ago. I made some improvements to improve the expansion and stability of the internal space. This is the first time I have used it."

Wang Li poked her head out of the tent to see the continuous canopy of trees, undulating like a sea under the moonlight, and the dome above was deep, accompanied by starlight.

The night is getting darker, and the forest is getting quieter.

From a distance, the tent hanging on the treetops seems to have a strange sense of rhythm.

Ups and downs, ups and downs, ups and downs, trembling... Shaking up and down, swaying from side to side.

(Here is harmonized...)

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Yan took Wang Li on this trip to the jungle.

The location where they entered the jungle was about thousands of miles away from the city of the sky. After the journey started, they turned to the direction of the city of the sky. When they arrived at the city of the sky, the trip just ended.

During the day, the two rode on the wide back of the circle, wandering around in the jungle, and the ant colony was responsible for the guard work along the way.

During the march, Cao Yan also trained the big cat, the unlucky bear, and the little fat dog.

Time passed quietly.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the city in the sky was getting closer.

On the afternoon of the third day, the little chubby dog ​​who was walking suddenly raised its ears and barked in one direction.

Cao Yan raised his eyes and looked far away. In the sky far away in that direction, he saw many flying monsters fighting together.

What surprised him was that one of them was a big bird with red feathers and burning flames all over its body, very similar to Feng Qiwu's magic pet.

Cao Yansui asked the ant colony to approach in that direction to investigate, and soon confirmed that the big fiery red bird was Feng Qiwu's magic pet.

After the ant colony approached, they also found that there was also a fierce battle on the ground in that area, and many professionals were catching and fighting each other.

Not far from the battle, a low hill cracked, revealing the corner of a building relic, and the people participating in the battle were obviously fighting for the ownership of this relic.

Feng Qiwu and more than a dozen members of the Fengqi Mercenary Corps also participated.

Cao Yan said to Wang Li: "Feng Qiwu is fighting with people over there."

Wang Lidao: "I heard her say a few days ago that she would lead a team to the jungle to investigate and capture monsters, and she asked me to get rid of your relationship. Her Fengqi mercenary group wants to obtain the status of a hunting team officially recognized by Sky City. convenient in the jungle."

He said again: "Let's go and have a look. It's not easy for Xiwu to support a mercenary group by himself."

Cao Yan patted Quan'er's big head, signaling it to run forward.

As the distance approached, the voices of shouting and fighting became clearer.

From a distance, the giant trees in front of them could be seen, affected by the aftermath of the fierce battle, collapsing and collapsing, with an astonishing momentum.

The people participating in the battle were scattered within a range of two to three hundred meters, divided into multiple battle circles, no less than dozens of people, and there were professionals from all major systems.

Cao Yan rode on Quan'er's back, approached the battlefield and shouted, "Stop it all."

All parties fought fiercely, risking their lives and forgetting to die, and no one paid any attention to him.

Cao Yanyan covered Wang Li's ears with his hands, and the next moment, Quan'er raised his head, opened his mouth wide, and let out a loud roar.

This bear roar shook the ground and the mountains could be heard dozens of miles away.

Everyone in the battle seemed to hear a thunder explosion suddenly, and some people were even knocked to the ground by the bear roar, foaming at the mouth.

The chaotic battlefield stopped immediately, and everyone looked at the circle with horror on their faces.

"City Lord Cao!"

"Cao Yan..."

The surrounding areas are not too far away from the Sky City. People who go deep into this area almost all pass through the Sky City as a transfer. The jungle they entered, naturally many people know Cao Yan.

"Why are you fighting here?" Cao Yan looked around at the crowd.

"There is a ruin in this area. We discovered it first. These people heard the news and wanted to go in first. Naturally, we didn't allow it, so a scuffle broke out." A lean middle-aged man stood up and said.

Cao Yan glanced at the corner of the ruins exposed by the cracks in the hills ahead: "Our Green Forest World has always had regulations. If a ruin is born, if it is less than 10,000 miles away from a large urban settlement, it must be reported to the officials of the nearby city. The excavation will be taken over by the government, and the income will be shared equally with the first person to discover.

This place is less than ten thousand miles away from my sky city, if you fight for it without authorization, where will my sky city be decreed? "

Everyone looked at each other, and the green jungle world did have such a rule for exploring and discovering jungle ruins.

But in the wild, how many people will obey the rules?

It has always been whoever discovers it, and whoever has the strongest power belongs to him.

Cao Yan said again: "This ruin is now taken over by my sky city, who has any objection?"

"It's unreasonable, Lord Cao, if you want to take away the ruins with just one sentence, I, Lu Desa, will be the first to refuse... such an unfair thing, I believe everyone will not agree."

An old man with a sullen complexion came out from the crowd, and behind him stood four young and middle-aged men, all of whom had a strong and sinister aura. They all looked at Cao Yan together, with a hint of confrontation.

"So you are here to fight and rob, and use force to determine the ownership of the ruins, do you think it is fair?"

Cao Yan said: "Then I will also join in and compete with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden-brown power field spread from Quan'er's body.

There was a loud bang.

The surrounding void is like a mountain pressing down, the pressure is unimaginably heavy.

Even some of the birds fighting in the sky lost their balance under the pressure of this majestic force, like a mountain of weight, they fell from the sky one after another.

For a moment, more than ten birds fell from the sky, crawling on the ground amidst the wailing, unable to get up.

Many professionals were 'squeezed' into the void by the explosive power of the circle, and even lifting their fingers was an extravagant hope.

Cao Yan leaped onto a thick branch of a tree, condescending, surrounded by trap balls around his wrists, borrowing the tyrannical strength of the circle by playing ball, stretched out his hand to the ruins exposed at the bottom, five khaki The beam of light stretched out like a giant hand opened.

The ruins that were as heavy as mountains shook as a whole, and the earth was cracked layer by layer.

The hill where the ruins were located trembled and rose from the ground, and was swallowed whole by a trapping ball that appeared in Cao Yan's hand.

Damn, this kind of power is simply inhuman, and it took away a mountain.

Everyone around was terrified, and the expressions of Ludesa who stood up and the people around him changed drastically.

"I took this relic, what's the gain in it, whoever discovers the relic first can go to the City Lord's Mansion of the Sky City to claim what he deserves, who refuses to stand up and let me have a look?" Cao Yan asked indifferently.

The surrounding area was completely silent.

At this time Feng Qiwu came to Wang Li who was still sitting on the back of the circle, and the flamboyant man beside her looked up at Cao Yan, and muttered: "Look at Cao Yan's domineering vigor, We fought all morning, and when he came, he picked the fruit away, and you don't care about Wang Li."

Wang Li rolled his eyes at him, but Feng Qiwu responded, "But this Cao Yan is so handsome."

"Handsome ass." The flamboyant man was envious and jealous, and suddenly shouted: "Who is not convinced, stand up for me."

He asked three times in a row to get enough heat, and he was quite proud when he saw that no one dared to say anything.
