The virtual image of that shadow knight was over 300 m in length. It was blue all over. Flying in the air, it had 9 snakeheads, which were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. Additionally, it had a pair of fleshy wings. If not the special luster of the virtual image of a knight, anyone who caught sight of such a terrifying 9-headed snake would think that it was a far-ancient mutated beast in the world.
There were legends about hydras in both the West and the East. In Waii Subcontinent, Zhang Tie heard that the hydra was called Hydra; however, in Taixia Country, the hydra had another name — — Xiang Liu!
After thinking about the two names carefully, Zhang Tie became enlightened at once.
Hydra and Xiang Liu were the names of the hydra in the West and the East respectively. They were the memories of the two different human civilizations about the hydra. After comparing the pronunciations of Hydra and Xiang Liu and considering the pronunciation errors caused by historical and geographical reasons, everybody would make an amazing discovery, namely, the pronunciations of the hydra in the West and the East were very similar to the pronunciations of the hydra in the West and the East.
The same hydra had almost the same name in the legends of different cultures. What did it mean?
It was definitely not a simple coincidence.
Before the Cataclysm, humans treated all the myths and legends as fake stories and legends. But after the Cataclysm, everyone knew that whether it was Eastern or Western myths and legends, they all hid great secrets of human history. Many myths and legends were not just myths.
...
The Hydra flew in the air above the middle layer at a speed of over 1,400 kilometers per hour. It was shining brilliantly, and wherever it passed, it would bring along the rumbling of thunder. It was like a moving flying boat, and it looked really awesome.
It was Zhang Tie's first time to see the virtual image of a shadow knight. Therefore, he was really shocked.
It was said that an earth knight could form the virtual image after promoting to a shadow knight. Actually, the core and dominator of the virtual image was the shadow knight himself. The so-called virtual image was the combination of the knight and the virtual image. Of course, the virtual image could not turn into a living being. To put it simply, the virtual image could be understood as a variant of the shadow knight or some armor or a machine that the shadow knight could control.
Shadow knight formed water chakra, which was colorless and shapeless. It could be in various forms such as gas, liquid and solid. Therefore, after forming water chakra, the real body of the virtual image of a knight would be preliminarily formed and would have a great power.
From hundreds of miles away, Zhang Tie had already seen the virtual image of the hydra flying towards him with wind and thunders.
Given the shadow knight's status, he must be very flamboyant. Additionally, he had a great battle strength. At the sight of him, Zhang Tie knew that he was not easy to deal with. What Zhang Tie wanted to do now was to put away the thunder hawk first. After that, he would make an arrangement in Pingsha Valley to wait for the hare. He didn't want to cause any trouble. Therefore, before the virtual image of the hydra approached him, Zhang Tie had dodged away from it and flew into the stratosphere.
Finally, the two parties flew past each other in a distance of over 70 miles.
When they passed each other, Zhang Tie felt that one head of the virtual image of the hydra turned around and threw a glance at him. However, it didn't do anything else. Instead, it just moved away in different directions.
The previous two waves of knights and this shadow knight were flying towards the same direction. After thinking for a short while, Zhang Tie realized that they might be heading for Gold and Power Market. According to Bai Suxian, Gold and Power Market was going to hold a Treasures Meeting these days. Therefore, all the powerhouses in Gold and Power Market would go there to join the fun.
'I wonder what would my virtual image of king roc look like after promoting to a shadow knight in the future. '
Only after a few seconds, Zhang Tie had forgotten about this question. 'Unless I'm not afraid that others would know that I'm cultivating King Roc Sutra by then, as long as I release my virtual image of king roc, I would be the target of all the others. I might not even know how I died. Therefore, I could only continue to hide it...'
'Although I have a powerful virtual image, I don't have the corresponding secret method to cultivate an emperor's secret method. Although I have great abilities, I couldn't exert them... '
'Alas, what a tough life! '
Zhang Tie sighed with emotions inside. If others knew that, they might be drowned by the saliva of the world in the blink of an eye.
With Castle of Black Iron, you could promote to an earth knight at about 30 years old and cultivate Infinite King Roc Sutra, an emperor-level secret method. If you said that you had a poor life, what about the others?
After seeing the virtual image of the hydra, Zhang Tie didn't feel like trying his flight ability anymore; instead, he just flew towards the thunder hawk in the stratosphere.
After another 2 hours, it was already dark while the sky was filled with starlight. Zhang Tie didn't know where he was. However, he couldn't see the city anymore; instead, he saw an undulating primeval forest.
At this moment, the figure that was approaching him had already appeared in Zhang Tie's sight.
Zhang Tie instantly stopped in the air as a golden light flashed towards him from over 60 miles away like a lightning bolt. In the last distance, the extremely fast figure accelerated once again. It only took him less than 2 minutes to cover the distance of over 60 miles.
'Almost 3 times the speed of sound, f * ck! '
Watching that golden light rushing towards Zhang Tie's arms like how it did when it was young, Zhang Tie was really startled.
A strong wind blew against Zhang Tie's face while the golden light entered his arms. Before Zhang Tie made any response, a bizarre huge bird whose wingspan was longer than 6 m had already rushed into Zhang Tie's arms while each of its feather was flashing lightning bolts. As a result, Zhang Tie was sent flying hundreds of meters backward.
At such a high speed, such a size and weight, the impact force was almost like that of a train. If it was a person below knight level, he might be severely injured. Zhang Tie didn't stop until he flew hundreds of meters in the air.
Zhang Tie immediately hugged the bird and stayed in the air. The bird kept rubbing its huge head against Zhang Tie's chest and uttered a strange sound as if it was acting in a spoiled manner. It was completely the same as before.
'But... but... how could this thunder hawk become so huge? '
Zhang Tie felt that his brain was short-circuited. 'That's too exaggerated! It's only been 4 years!'
However, before Zhang Tie asked anything, the huge bird had uttered a few times, awakening Zhang Tie from the shock at once.
"What? You said that when you were flying here, there was an annoying old man who saw you in the sky and kept chasing you, biting you and trying to catch you? That guy flew very fast, only a bit slower than you? Additionally, even though he was far away from you, he could still almost cover you with his light bolts for many times? "
The huge bird nodded.
Zhang Tie quivered all over. He knew the speed of this thunder hawk in the past hours. It was above 2 times the speed of sound. After flying tens of thousands of miles, a virtual image of a shadow knight could only move a bit more than 1 times the speed of sound. Who could fly 2 times the speed of sound? How could he chase after it for so many hours? How could he chase after the thunder hawk for tens of thousands of miles?
When Zhang Tie thought about it, he hurriedly released his lotus-flower eyes and looked towards the direction where the thunder hawk came from.
Sure enough, just a few hundred kilometers away from here, a figure wrapped in purple light was flying toward this direction at an extremely fast speed.
In the purple light, it was an old guy in sackcloth and straw sandals with a huge silver gourd higher than 1 m on his back. Such an old guy must be an old monster above a heavenly knight. Zhang Tie threw a few glances at him from hundreds of miles away. Unimaginably, the old guy frowned as if he had sensed Zhang Tie's gaze. Closely after that, his eyes flickered as he shot two wisps of purple light towards Zhang Tie.
'Motherf * cker! '
Zhang Tie was startled as he felt goosebumps all over. Closely after that, he grabbed the huge bird and dove towards the ground in the blink of an eye.
After witnessing the ability of his master Zhao Yuan, Zhang Tie could completely imagine how terrifying a heavenly knight was and how many trump cards he could have. It was absolutely seeking for death to play hide-and-seek with such a person in the sky. Perhaps this old guy didn't want to hurt the thunder hawk; instead, he wanted to catch the thunder hawk alive. Otherwise, the thunder hawk might not escape away at all.
The person and the bird passed through the stratosphere and entered the troposphere. The troposphere was covered with clouds and mist. Zhang Tie performed the same trick as before. When the clouds and mist blocked his sight, he directly entered Castle of Black Iron with the thunder hawk. After entering Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie changed into the substitute of the little beetle at the fastest speed and applied a hiding rune to the little beetle. Closely after that, the little beetle flew out of the clouds and landed on the treetop of a pine tree on the top of a mountain. After hiding behind the pine needles, the little beetle silently raised its eyes and watched the sky.
The fact proved that Zhang Tie's movements were not superfluous at all.
Only after a few minutes, the purple light had arrived at the cloud where Zhang Tie and the thunder hawk had just entered. Closely after that, the old guy waved his sleeve, shattering the cloud within 1 square mile in the blink of an eye like being blown over by a LV 10 gale, exposing the empty sky...
Zhang Tie's heart pounded as the little beetle's claw slipped. He was so scared that he almost slid off the pine needles...
'Motherf * cker, is he still a human? '
Zhang Tie finally knew how terrifying people like his master Zhao Yuan were.
After confirming that there was no thunder hawk in this cloud, the old guy flew around in the sky. Each time he waved his sleeve, a large cloud in the sky would be swept away. In less than a few minutes, the surrounding sky was filled with moonlight like water, which made people feel that there were no clouds, bright moon and sparse stars...
