”This is really not bad!”
Standing on the city of great calamity which belonged to the Red Sun, Ji Hao was curiously stroking a golden statue.
According to Yi Di, who witnessed the power of a city of great calamity, these golden statues standing on the wall of each city of great calamity could easily shatter the earth hundreds of miles in radius, and kill over one-thousand spirit turtles, which had amazing defensive powers, with one strike.
Ji Hao gently stroked the golden statue. With his sensitive fingers, he sensed the fine grains on its surface, that ordinary people could not see. His spirit power was drilling into the statue like water flows. Ji Hao wanted to figure out the structure of this golden statue. It would be even better if he could draw a plan for this kind of a statue.
Thanks to Great Liberty, Ji Hao gained all Polo Do's memories. As a sage from the Flow Moon, Polo Do memorized almost all records and books kept in Yu Dynasty. From his memories, Ji Hao had learned a lot.
Magic formations, spell symbols, drugs, puppets, large-scale warships, flying forts… Ji Hao leaned nearly everything. But sadly, the cities of great calamity were purchased from Pan Yu world by nobles from Yu Dynasty with high prices. They bought the cities of great calamity, but didn't have their structural drawings. Therefore, Ji Hao had no way to find out how these cities were designed and built.
Inch by inch, Ji Hao sent his spirit power into the golden statue, carefully discovering its secret.
The cities of great calamity dispelled the clouds in the sky as they flew back to Liang Zhu City at their highest speed, against a strong wind. The cities were filled with non-humankind warriors. On the ground, countless non-humankind warriors had also been marching back to the north as fast as possible. They were gasping loudly for air.
On behalf of the twelve families in power, Polo Jia made a serious request to Emperor Shun and asked the humankind to help the non-humankind defend against the rebellion.
Ji Hao immediately extorted them. He said that Emperor Shun was a noble being, while Emperor Shennong and Emperor Xuanyuan were venerated, legendary beings. Therefore, without enough benefits, the human emperors would never help the non-humankind to restrain the human warriors in Liang Zhu City, who had now been rampantly damaging the city.
After a series of bargaining, the three cities of great calamity were given to the humankind, coming under Si Wen Ming's direct control.
Ji Hao and the others hopped onto a city of great calamity and headed to Liang Zhu City along with the non-humankind army.
”Indeed a treasure…As I always believed, extortion is how you get rich.” The structure of the three-hundred-meters-tall golden statue was extremely complicated. Countless hair-thin energy channels existed inside it, connected by billions of complicated, multi helical structured spells. Therefore, Ji Hao needed to concentrate all his attention to trigger these spell symbols with unknown functions.
A heavy cough could be heard. With a sulky face, Piji Nu walked out from behind a decorative golden flowerpot.
”Marquis Yao!” Maybe because the non-humankind had now been making requests to the humankind, Piji Nu was much politer to Ji Hao.
”Aha, Emperor Piji Nu, what a surprise to see you here! The weather is nice, isn't it?” Stroking the golden statue with both hands, Ji Hao talked some nonsense.
Piji Nu's eye corners twitched.
When the troop took off from Chi Ban Mountain, the weather was indeed warm and sunny. But, it was already midnight now, and the sky was covered in thick dark clouds. Bolts of thunder sizzled and flashed in the dark clouds, as a heavy rain seemed to fall right away.
