I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 136

Chapter 136

“Contract?”

Fang Bai frowned slightly.

“The Contract Temple?”

“The Mage Tower and the Temple coexist, and the Mage Tower is even taller than the Temple. This indicates that it shouldn’t be an era where divine power reigns supreme.

On the contrary, the atmosphere of the era should be quite open-minded. That’s right, in the era of mages where floating cities cover the sky, the gods must be quite open-minded.

However, for the Mage Tower to allow a Temple to be built next to it, is this a functional Temple?”

Fang Bai had a vague guess in his mind. Recalling the scene of the floating cities covering the sky in the initial image, and the figure resembling a god atop the floating city, if he thought about it carefully, it didn’t seem so difficult to accept that the gods would put down their arrogance and transform from completely faith-based gods to functional gods.

The significance of the existence of the floating city was to rival the divine kingdom and stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods.

“Contract… a god specifically responsible for signing contracts, supervising their fulfillment, and preventing breaches?

If it truly possesses this function, then it’s not unacceptable for this mage to allow a Temple to be built next to the Mage Tower. After all, it’s quite convenient this way, with the god supervising the execution of the contract in real-time.”

“But what about the remaining Temples?”

Fang Bai glanced curiously at the other Temples without visible signs. If he could see the signs, he might be able to guess something from the text at the entrance, but he couldn’t.

“It’s a pity that the elemental concentration here is too high for drones to be used. Otherwise, I could wait for an opportunity when the Steel Colossus leaves and use a drone to go in and take a look.”

Although he hadn’t witnessed it personally, judging from the surrounding traces, he knew that this Steel Colossus would definitely leave at times. He just didn’t know what it was doing.

As for exploring while the Steel Colossus was away…

Fang Bai looked at the size of the spatial rift and then glanced at the Steel Colossus’s physique from the corner of his eye.

“The Steel Colossus definitely can’t enter. It wouldn’t be unacceptable to sneak in, but I’m afraid there might be danger inside, and then the Steel Colossus would be blocking the entrance. Forget it, I’ll consider it later.”

Fang Bai still chose to follow his heart and be more cautious.

After taking a final glance at the Steel Colossus with the corner of his eye, he turned and left. When he left, Wang Kai was still constantly marveling at the Steel Colossus’s power.

Fang Bai responded half-heartedly while traveling underground, occasionally surfacing to take a breath, cast a new Water Shield Spell, and then continue forward.

Using the Water Shield Spell as the main body for burrowing was a new trick Fang Bai had discovered. As long as he cast a Water Shield, he could carry a large amount of air with him while burrowing. It was much more convenient and comfortable than holding his breath or carrying a bucket while burrowing.

After leaving the spatial rift, Fang Bai didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he started circling the park, searching for other possible spatial rifts as he went.

Unfortunately, after circling for a while, until late at night, Fang Bai couldn’t find a second spatial rift. Only then did he have to give up and prepare to leave.

However, just as he was about to leave, he felt the ground suddenly shake. The shaking was some distance away from Fang Bai, but the direction…

Fang Bai and Wang Kai exchanged glances.

“The spatial rift!”

“Let’s go and take a look.”

Without a second thought, Fang Bai immediately surfaced, found a tall building, and looked in the direction of the spatial rift. However, the distance was too great, and there were too many tall buildings blocking the way. His vision was poor, and he couldn’t see anything.

“Let’s go, change locations.”

“Okay.”

Wang Kai closely followed Fang Bai. They approached directly and climbed a tall building about a kilometer away to look in the direction of the spatial rift. When they saw clearly…

“Holy crap!”

Wang Kai couldn’t help but curse. Fang Bai was also shocked and couldn’t help but sigh.

“What a talent!”

Under their gaze, a triangular black hang glider circled above the spatial rift. A Steel Colossus, as tall as three or four stories, chased after it, causing the ground to tremble.

Facing such a terrifying scene, the hang glider not only didn’t flee, but it also turned back to provoke the Steel Colossus from time to time, as if afraid of losing it. This angered the Steel Colossus, causing it to repeatedly let out furious elephant trumpets, rear up, and slam its front feet onto the ground.

Boom!!!

The earth shattered, and terrifying ripples spread forward. Sharp stone pillars rose one after another, growing taller and taller. Buildings crumbled and collapsed under the stone pillars. The terrifying stone pillars extended for two to three hundred meters, and the tallest one was actually twenty to thirty meters high, frightening the hang glider, which was only a few dozen meters above the ground.

Buildings stretching for over two hundred meters collapsed completely, kicking up dust everywhere. Fang Bai even saw a powerful magical beast he had never seen before get directly crushed by the rising stone pillars!

“Gulp.”

Watching this shocking scene, Wang Kai couldn’t help but swallow. Fang Bai also started to feel fortunate that he hadn’t been arrogant enough to provoke this terrifying Third-Order Magical Beast. But then Fang Bai was amused.

The Steel Colossus’s spell was extremely terrifying. It had a long attack range, capable of directly striking targets two to three hundred meters away. It had strong attack power, and wherever it passed, buildings would collapse. Fang Bai seriously suspected that even a tank would explode if it took such a hit.

In short, this spell seemed extremely powerful to Fang Bai, worthy of the Steel Colossus’s overwhelming strength. However…

“This Steel Colossus can’t fly!”

Wang Kai said after he finished laughing. Fang Bai was also amused when he heard this. Wang Kai was right. This Steel Colossus couldn’t fly, and it seemed to have no ranged attack methods. It could only chase after the hang glider in impotent rage.

However…

“That hang glider is flying too low. It has no power; I’m afraid it’s going to crash.”

Fang Bai looked at the survivor controlling the hang glider with some pity. In Fang Bai’s opinion, this survivor was definitely a talent.

In this present time where elements interfered with electronic devices and burned out chips, anyone who could control a hang glider was definitely talented.

With a top speed of 150 kilometers per hour and a maximum altitude of 6,000 meters, hang gliders were definitely a safe and cost-effective mode of transportation in the apocalypse.

“Yeah, it’s too low. If it continues like this, even if it doesn’t land, it will enter the Steel Colossus’s attack range.”

Wang Kai agreed. As they watched with pity, the young man controlling the hang glider was trying his best to control it and gain altitude again.

For a hang glider, altitude was life, altitude was power.

But at this moment, there was no wind in Stone City, and after flying for so long, the power he had previously accumulated using altitude had been exhausted. This made it difficult for him to recover.

Seeing that the hang glider’s altitude was about to enter the Steel Colossus’s attack range, and seeing that the Steel Colossus was about to launch its skill again, Fang Bai shook his head slightly.

“If only there was a headwind. If I were in front of him, I could at least give him a gust of… holy crap!”

Before Fang Bai could finish his words, he saw the hang glider suddenly climb in an extremely abrupt manner, as if a gust of wind had suddenly appeared in front of it. Fang Bai and Wang Kai were both stunned and couldn’t help but exchange glances. They said in unison,

“Minor Spell!!!!”

The Steel Colossus’s spell missed. The hang glider’s angle rose high again, angering the Steel Colossus, which rolled up chunks of bricks and cement with its trunk and hurled them into the air. However, its aim wasn’t good, and it didn’t hit anything.

The hang glider continued to fly freely in the sky!

At this moment, a thought emerged in Fang Bai’s mind.

Minor Spell: Gust of Wind?

“No, this is Minor Spell: Flight!”

Fang Bai was truly shocked at this moment. It wasn’t because this person knew Minor Spells, nor was it because this person was good at hang gliding. It was because of this concept, this concept of utilizing Minor Spells.

“Mage?”

“This is a mage!”
