Matcha fluttered her wings and looked down: “This map is really strange. Halfway through, the stone steps are suddenly cut off and there’s no other path……. and Boss, can you stop hugging Beautiful Miss’ thighs already……”
Wan Er’s face blushed and she reached out her hand to grab onto my arm, dragging me up.
Fox hefted his gun and snickered: “Hugging her thigh……. how fortunate……”
Wan Er’s face blushed even more.
My eyes flashed coldly as I said: “Stop teasing Wan Er already, hurry up and think of a way to navigate this map……”
Lin Wan Er’s beautiful oval shaped face was still burning red as she looked up, blinked her long eyelashes and suddenly raised her hand to point, “Look, the solution should be right there…”
We all looked up and saw a string of iron chain hanging a meter above our heads. It led straight down into the darkness. The thickness of the iron chain was around the size of a baby’s wrist, and it swayed slowly in the midst of the wind. A piece of barren land and empty space greeted us at the front, with nothing else to be seen.
“I don’t know…” Lin Wan Er pursed her lips, “I don’t know what place this iron rope leads to, could it be our destination?”
Yuzi Chengshuo laughed lightly: “It should be. Where else could it lead us?”
“How do we we get there?” Who’s Blue asked.
Dong Cheng Yue laughed faintly: “It’s simple, we just have to use our cloaks as cloth ropes, and simply swing it over the chain to slide down. This iron chain’s incline is steep enough, so there shouldn’t be any problems. This is the only path, so we have to go this way.”
Fox mused aloud: “Or we could try to get on the iron chain and walk across……”
Wan Er couldn’t help but burst into laughter: “Uncle, do you think you are an acrobat? What if you fell……”
Fox’s face was all purple: “Uncle? I’m only a little older than Li Xiao Yao……”
Yue Qing Qian hefted her dagger and said casually: “ Who cares. You’re still an uncle……”
Fox’s face was white: “I can’t even talk to you guys anymore……”
……
“Hua!”
I suddenly pulled the Cloak of Disillusionment on my back and fold it into one cloth rope. Holding it with both hands, I asked, “Don’t waste time anymore, I’ll be in front. Everyone come and follow me. It’s just a small part of the map. We won’t be frightened by that much, will we?”
“Yeah, be careful!” Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue replied in unison, laughing.
Stepping back a few steps, I suddenly leapt forward. With my cloak, I landed on the iron rope accurately and my whole body started sliding down the iron chain. Behind me, Lin Wan Er, Yue Qing Qian and the other girls followed along. Dong Cheng Yue and Matcha were no longer able to fly either. Wind Elves in this case, their advantage of flying would be affected by the vast vertical distance between them and the ground. In this area’s altitude, they would also fall from the sky, unable to fly.
In the air, the wind blew hard against our ears as the nine of us slid down the metal chain, like the vines of a morning glory entwining around a fence. After descending from such a height, a flash of light appeared before us, revealing a sea of stars. As visibility improved, at the middle of the shimmering stars lay four floating pieces of land. Our next path was confirmed!
As Lin Wan Er looked into the distance, her beautiful eyes were filled with wonder as she laughed: “It’s so beautiful… these four suspended maps are truly the workmanship of the heavens; like a heavenly palace in storybooks, it’s exceedingly magnificent……”
Dong Cheng Yue laughed lightly: “These maps should be the Mohist Sect’s inheritance, Elder Yun Chen’s masterpiece right? Besides him, nobody else would be able to create such a heavenly map……”
Fox let out a cough and said, “ The specialty of the Mohist Sect is machinery and traps. Constructions and buildings are most likely the work of Lu Ban descendants.”
TL: Lu Ban is a extremely well known craftsmen who was famous for his architecture
Dong Cheng Yue’s face grew cold: “Uncle, go die. Stop being smart……”
Yue Qing Qian couldn’t keep from snorting, then she burst out into laughter, her graceful body shaking in the air. In the starry sky, her figure was quite beautiful.
……
The first area was steadily getting closer and when I was about ten meters off the ground, I let go of the cloak with my right hand and unsheathed my Frost Rain Sword.
“”Peng!”
My purple boots, upon contact with the ground stirred up clouds of dust. Taking advantage of my inertia, I charged forward. In my ear I heard a voice—
“Ding!”
