Chapter 47 Elven Floating City

The city in the high sky is erratic and random.Little Shaman was physically disabled and could only crawl but not walk, so it was impossible for him to catch up with that city.But Xiao Shaman was not discouraged, she observed the direction in which the city was floating, and patiently searched for the rules. She found that this city always appeared in the northwest direction for no reason, so she immediately crawled along the desert.When she was unbearably hungry and thirsty, she dug a deep cave in the desert, got into it and lay down on the ground, opened her mouth to catch the condensed water droplets on the top of the cave, and then caught a few poisonous scorpions in the desert, crushed them and sucked the juice.In this way, she insisted not to let herself die.

For her, life is everything.She is here, the world is here.When she died, the world would die too. So she can't die. She crawled and crawled, and crawled and crawled for an unknown number of days, before she finally arrived at a place full of strange rocks.There are countless stone pillars erected here, which are the pillars of magnificent buildings in ancient times.Now the ancient city has been obliterated, and only the tip of the pillars are exposed on the desert, like stone benches and chairs.The strange creatures that used to haunt the floating city gathered here, busy with something.

Little Shaman crawled closer, only to find that those things were digging in the desert, dug out many pots and jars, stacked them together, and put them into bags, and then those things flew towards the floating city in the air with the bags on their backs. Little Shaman crawled over, took advantage of the things in the bag not paying attention, quickly got into a bag, and waited patiently.Not long after, another object flew down, picked up the bag containing Xiaoshaman, and flew high into the sky.Xiaoshaman felt that she was flying higher and higher, higher and higher, and after a long time, the bag was put down, and she had already entered the sky city.

The thing carrying the bag opened the bag, and Xiaoshaman got out, made a face, and screamed at the thing, which made the thing run away with a whoosh in fright.Xiaoshaman took the opportunity to climb out of the bag and look for a place to hide. There is a big tree with dense branches and leaves in front of it, with big flowers growing on it.The trunk is full of beards and knots, and the roots of the tree are full of holes.Little Shaman quickly climbed into a tree hole to avoid being discovered by those things. When he climbed into the hole, Xiaoshaman's shoulder touched the tree trunk, and it hurt hotly.Only then did she discover that the trunk of this tree was made of cast iron, with a thick layer of rust forming on the surface.

Little Shaman understood that this is the place where the cycads bloom. After hiding in the tree hole for a few days, little silly man gradually realized that this is a floating city of elves, and those strange things with scales and thorns and membranous flaps on their wings in the city are elves. The city is full of elves, doing business noisily, and the most sought-after items in the elf market are the cultural relics unearthed from ancient ruins.And little silly man was brought back by an elf who flew out of the city to look for ancient objects. Little Shaman was bold enough to start moving around in the city, looking for the beautiful spring.At first the elves were surprised when they saw her, but after a few days, the elves gradually got used to her presence.So Xiaoshaman became more and more courageous, and the scope of activities became wider and wider.

Little Shaman found that there were no houses in this city, and there were towering cycads growing everywhere, and the cycads were covered with small nests, which were the homes of the elves.Many elves crouched in their nests, only their heads were exposed, and they did not move. The elves' nest is made of a kind of pink grass, and the elves fly around to pick the pink grass.Little Shaman crawled forward in the direction of the elves until he reached the base of the city wall, and found that the pink grass grew from the rocky surface at the base of the city wall.But not every rock can grow pink grass, the output is rare, and it cannot be picked before it reaches maturity.So the elves searched around, and once they found pink grass, they waited patiently, no matter how long they waited, until the pink grass was mature, and then they picked it.

The elf who picked the pink grass would be overjoyed and fly back to the nest impatiently, spread the pink grass in his little nest, and then get in, with only his head exposed, motionless. The elves got into the nest, why didn't they move? Little Shaman was extremely curious about this.She sat under an iron tree and watched the elves in the small nest of branches for three days.Finally seeing the elf come out of the lair, holding a pink egg in his hand, he shouted excitedly. I see, it turns out that the elves are laying eggs hiding in the nest. The eggs laid by the elves must be very delicious.

Xiaoshaman suddenly had this impulse in his heart. In fact, this impulse has been in Xiaoshaman's heart for a long time.She has been struggling to find food in this city in the sky, but there are only cycads and stone flowers here. It is all because of licking the dew that condensed on the stones that she did not die of thirst. No matter what, she must get something to eat. As for whether it is an egg laid by an elf or a baby born by a fairy, I really can't care so much. After the elves lay eggs, they will hold the eggs and show off around. Obviously, in this elf world, it is a very honorable thing to be able to lay eggs.After showing off, the elf will carefully put the eggs back into the nest, cover them with pink grass, and fly away to find something to eat.

It turns out that the elves also need to eat, and I don't know what these strange things eat.But little silly man doesn't care about this, all she cares about is when the elves leave their nest. She climbed to the top of the iron tree and looked down at an elf in the nest below, which had not moved for several days.Xiaoshaman reckoned that the eggs of this thing were probably about to be born soon. Sure enough, after staring at it for a short time, the elf let out a shrill and joyful cry, took out a steaming egg, and showed it off to all directions.The other elves were unmoved, still focused on laying their own eggs, but that didn't dampen the excitement of this one in the slightest.Obviously, showing off one's newly laid eggs is a very important ritual in the elf world.

After showing off, the elf jumped down from the tree, half-flying, half-running to find something to eat.The little silly man took this opportunity to jump into the elf's lair, picked up the egg, put it to his ear and listened, and then slammed on the iron branch, and there was a loud click. The thick eggshell cracked, and beige juice dripped from the inside.Little Shaman desperately put his head on the crack of the eggshell and sucked vigorously. He ate an elf egg in the blink of an eye, and Xiaoshaman still couldn't get enough of it. He licked his fingers and wanted to find another egg.He suddenly heard an angry roar in the distance, and turned his head to see that the elf laying eggs was rushing towards this side furiously.

Little Shaman didn't hesitate at all, turned around and fled.The elf screamed in pain and chased after him.Little Shaman desperately ran towards the city wall in front of her. She rushed to the battlement and looked around, but saw the wind and haze gathering below, the desert was boundless, and the sand waves were endless.When I looked back again, I saw the elf with bloodshot eyes grabbing towards her. Xiaoshaman leaped and jumped off the battlement.
