Chapter 155 Not the First Earthling to Crash a Car

Putting aside how the elven servants at the Royal Spire would explain the departure of all the guests to Hilda, Hao Ren and his group had already flown far away. The high walls surrounding the Royal District were now visible. Vivian carried Hao Ren in the sky, while Lily, head raised and paws pounding, ran wildly below. Izaaks was no slouch either, and the three of them, flying and running, were faster than the elves' hovercraft. The flashing lights from the explosion at the edge of the floating island had faded, but several giant pillars of light shot into the sky from the site of the accident, guiding Vivian, who was flying in mid-air. Hao Ren felt the wind whistling in his ears and could only shout at the top of his lungs, "The walls are ahead! Can you pull up a bit so we can fly over?"

"The walls aren't a problem, but I don't know if we can get through that barrier," Vivian replied loudly. "I've never encountered a formation of this level."

In addition to the high walls, there was an extra shield above the Royal District. This magical defense shield, which covered an entire district, was definitely not just for show, and it was hard to say whether Vivian could handle such a city-level shield with her personal strength. Hao Ren suddenly felt that he shouldn't have refused the kindness of those two elven warriors earlier to save trouble by not accepting the arranged transportation—or at least he should have waited a few minutes for them to notify the staff on the walls to open a gap in the shield. Now, the semi-transparent film was close at hand. Vivian slowed down in advance and finally stopped steadily in front of the "film." Hao Ren reached out and touched it, and found that it was a materialized shield, just like his rigid shield.

Of course, the technology might not be as good as the rigid shield, but it was clear that they couldn't just blindly rush through it.

Lily also ran to the front of the wall. She looked up and saw a wall in front of her, so she didn't slow down at all. Without thinking, she pushed off with her hind legs and leaped up, drawing a silver-white streak in the air as she rushed towards the position where Hao Ren and Vivian were hovering. Hao Ren only saw a blurry white shadow jumping up from the lower right and crashing into the shield with a "bang." Then came the "Awoo awoo" scream of a dog whose tail had been stepped on, and Lily fell straight down.

Sure enough, they couldn't just blindly rush through it.

"I could smash a hole in it," Izaaks' voice came from below, "but it doesn't seem appropriate."

"Nonsense, of course it's not appropriate." Hao Ren was speechless at Izaaks, the meteor maniac. The only way to solve problems in this guy's mind seemed to be to drag a meteor down to calm his nerves, but he definitely couldn't let him do that at this time: he was here as a guest, not to tear down houses. The floating island of Aerym was already in such a miserable state, and you're going to drag another meteor down to smash an even bigger hole? Are you here to help put out the fire or to set it on fire?

"How's Lily?" Hao Ren looked down at the direction where Lily had fallen, impressed by the husky's amazing leap just now. This girl's jumping power was indeed amazing, she could jump over a two-hundred-meter-high wall with a single bound—but she was indeed missing something in her head, all her talents were focused on strength and physique. "Is she swollen?"

Lily's voice was delayed by a few seconds before it came from below, and from her tone, it was clear that she was still confused: "I'm okay… just a little dizzy, my head hurts, and it's swollen."

Hao Ren wanted to find someone to open this barrier, but he didn't know where the control mechanism for this wall was, let alone who was in charge of it. He didn't even leave Hilda's contact information. At this time, he realized that he had indeed come out too hastily. But soon he and Vivian noticed something: not far from here on the shield, there was a place that was flashing slightly, and they could occasionally see night-flying hovercraft passing quickly through the flashing place. It seemed that all the vehicles were passing through there.

"Could that be a traffic entrance?" Hao Ren said, pointing to the flashing place.

Vivian flapped her wings and flew over: "Let's try anyway."

It turned out that this was indeed a traffic entrance. It seemed that the shield technology of the Aerym elves had certain limitations. They couldn't set up an identification signal for their vehicles, and then have the shield generator automatically open an exit anywhere on the shield when it detected the identification signal (the Kuiper Station's shield had this function, so spaceships could enter and exit the space station from any direction). Therefore, they could only leave a fixed traffic entrance on the shield. There was a circle of floating bright runes around this traffic entrance, which was obviously some kind of extra maintenance device. This traffic entrance could be closed in case of emergency. Vivian reached out and tried it, and found that it felt like passing through a layer of soft water film, so she flew out boldly. Lily also jumped over from the hole, and even greeted Hao Ren when she jumped up: "I'm jumping over, aiming accurately—awoo awoo…"

Hearing another scream, Hao Ren quickly looked down and called out: "What's wrong again?"

"…There was a roof below, and I didn't have time to adjust my posture, so I landed face first."

Vivian couldn't help but rub her forehead against Hao Ren's back (her hands were holding onto him, she couldn't free them): "I really envy her physical fitness, that face could split mountains and crack rocks."

"Don't envy her, she exchanged that body for brains."

Izaaks was finally a little more reliable than Lily: the great demon conjured a pair of flaming demon wings behind him, and smoothly passed through the traffic entrance, but after all, he was not a flying demon, so he could only glide for such a short distance, and in the end he had to run below. At this time, the movements of the four of them had already attracted the attention of some elves—mainly because the light and shadow effects when Izaaks flew up were really blinding. You don't know how much it challenges the artist's bottom line when such a muscular brother poses in a flying pose and glides down—many lights lit up inside and outside the high walls, and curious citizens appeared on some windows and rooftops. Hao Ren saw that this was not a place to stay for long, so he quickly tugged on Vivian's clothes: "Keep flying, don't waste time… hey hey watch out for cars!"

The two of them were still flying near the traffic entrance, and the flying cars in this place were quite busy even at night. As soon as Hao Ren finished speaking, a hovercraft flew past Vivian dangerously close, and the vampire girl broke out in a cold sweat. She quickly lowered her altitude: she almost became the first earthling to have a car accident in the air.

They soon came to the edge of the city, but they could no longer rely on those beams of light to guide them forward: those beams of light were warning lights set up outside the "ring" of the floating island, and the guiding effect produced when viewed from the inside of the "ring" was very vague, making it impossible to accurately locate where the explosion occurred. But there were many citizens on the streets here, so Hao Ren asked Vivian to lower their altitude, and the two of them rejoined Lily and Izaaks on the ground, ready to inquire about where the accident happened.

The nighttime streets of Aerym city are definitely not as lively as those on Earth. There are no night markets or other nighttime gatherings and entertainment activities here. Although the city maintains nighttime lighting due to the temporary lack of energy, this lighting is only maintained to the necessary extent. Now, the explosion of the island propulsion group has attracted some citizens from their homes, and there is a little bit of activity on the streets, and the sudden appearance of Hao Ren and his group of strangely dressed and strangely looking outsiders has naturally attracted the attention of many elves nearby.

Izaaks was eye-catching enough, and now Lily was still in her white-haired witch form with golden eyes. Hao Ren and Vivian had also fallen from the sky. Only this combination was particularly eye-catching in its transformed state.

"Excuse me, can I ask how to get to the place where the explosion happened?" Hao Ren grabbed the nearest elven handsome guy (this damn place is full of handsome guys), who was startled by these strange strangers, but still subconsciously pointed in a direction: "Over there."

"Thank you." Hao Ren nodded and was about to leave, but an elf in the crowd suddenly called out curiously: "Are you the strangers that Her Majesty the Queen brought back?"

This immediately attracted more curious elven citizens. Hao Ren saw this situation and quickly looked for a gap to drill out: "Don't mind the details, don't mind the details, excuse me, the Queen will hold a press conference tomorrow…"

As he was preparing to run towards the accident site as he passed through the most crowded place, an elf called out from behind: "Don't go over there! It's dangerous over there!"

"That's what I do!" Hao Ren left a sentence from afar, and had already disappeared at the end of the street.
