On the whole journey, Elvis and Li Luo passed through to four or five cities. Every city were attacked by a group of demonic beasts, just like the first city that they saw after came out of the magic relic, Moore City.
Some cities were stubbornly resisting, but there were some cities that had long since become ruins.
And the sky above the continent, even though a thin layer of black cloud seemed to be always went around, but it slowly surging towards a place.
*****
Li Luo was sitting in front of Elvis, his hands were holding the horn on the top of Eli's head, as his body slightly leaned over. After coming out of the last city, they had been on the road for more than a week.
If there was no mistake, with their current speed, in the evening they should be able to arrive at the largest city in the surrounding area--Eda City.
Sure enough, when the sunset glowed over the west part of sky, there was a shadow of a towering wall of city appeared in Li Luo's line of sight. But this city was not the same as the previous cities that they were meet on their way, which have been besieged by the demonic beasts. For the first time, Li Luo saw a city with very clean surrounding.
Only on the ground outside the tightly closed city gate, there were many puddle of soil with slightly deeper color.
When the two men and one beast approached the Eda city, a row of arrows burning with fire magic immediately appeared at the originally empty city wall, as it pointing straight to the direction of Elvis and Li Luo. There was also a figure of man appeared on the city wall, that seemed came out to investigate the situation.
As soon as he saw the two people who sitting on top of a lion type magical beast, the man immediately waved his hand, as all of those row of arrows that originally pointing towards Elvis and Li Luo suddenly went back inside.
Li Luo and Elvis were arrive to the front of city gate, and the man who standing on the city wall shouted loudly at them: "You two, our Eda city don't accept any refugees. Of course, if you have the ability that meet my approval, I can open the gate and let you in." If he had not seen these two man were riding the giant magical beast, he would very likely drive them away directly when he saw the both of them.
Elvis did not speak, and just silently took out his Mingxi spirit staff, as his mouth began to chant the spell, and in short time, the man above the wall saw a vivid dragon roaming in the sky. The scales on this dragon body were able to be see very clearly, enough to witness the depth of the caster's skill.
The man's eyes immediately brightened, he turned around and repeatedly said in urgent way: "Quick, quickly opened the gate for the two man below."
After the man's voice fell, the huge gate in the front of Elvis and Li Luo right away opened.
Elvis and Li Luo entered the Eda City while riding Eli.
Although the Eda city was the center of surrounding cities, but it was now completely without its former prosperous, and appeared a bit desolate. There were almost not even a few passer-by walking on the main street, and only a few people set up the stall here while showed a panic look on their faces.
Not long after Li Luo and Elvis entered the city, someone walked in their direction to greet them, the man stopped in the front of Eli, before said to Li Luo and Elvis while smiling: "Since your two already entered the Eda city, I hope you will listen to our arrangements, this side please." After finished speaking, the man turned to the right.
Elvis did not say anything, and instructed Eli to catch up with the man.
The man led Elvis and Li Luo to the front of a large house with courtyard, just as the man was about to open the courtyard door, this door which was entwine with vines was pushed open from inside.
A girl with curly long brown hair, and curvaceous figure appeared in front of the three people.
When the girl saw Elvis who riding on the top of Eli's body, her dark green eyes right away sparkled with a clear joy, "Elvis, is that you?!"
Li Luo looked at this brown haired girl who pushed open the door and came out, he felt the girl looked somewhat familiar, and after heard her called Elvis, Li Luo immediately recognized the identity of the girl, she was Chris, one of the female protagonists in the novel that he originally wrote.
But Elvis did not pay attention to her, even though he heard Chris' voice clearly. He only glanced at her once, before turned his head away indifferently, as if he had never known Chris.
Afterwards, Elvis jumped down from Eli's back, then looked at Li Luo gently, and stretched out his two hands, indicating Li Luo that he could jump directly into his arms.
Li Luo looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with shy expression, before let out a dry cough, and silently climbed down from Eli's back.
