The tone of the immortal punishment was a little serious, and Yuan Jin subconsciously felt a little empty, and silently stayed away from Xiao Chen.

The phoenix and the soldier glanced at each other, and the two of them closed their mouths in amusement, not daring to say more at this time.

Ada's eyes rolled, and his desire to survive made him choose to be silent at this time, not daring to speak at will. Afraid that Muli didn't notice the tension in the air, he secretly gave Muli a look and pulled Muli to sit farther away.

Xiao Chen poured himself a cup of tea in silence, and when he noticed that the eyes of the immortal punishment were getting colder and colder, he coughed dryly twice, and said as confidently as possible: "The situation at that time, well, was a little special. I proposed to compete, but it was just a delaying tactic, so that Zao Wou-Ki could not attack me in the City Lord's Mansion, well, that's it. ”

Immortal Punishment stared at Xiao Chen, he had always supported Xiao Chen to have too much to do with people on the mainland, especially some unrelated people, Immortal Punishment didn't want Xiao Chen to waste time on these things and these people, which was also the biggest disagreement between him and Xiao Chen all along.

Completely different from the concept of wasting time and energy with immortal punishment, Xiao Chen thought that he could be improved again and again in the competition with these people, although sometimes it was dangerous, but the harvest was more.

Just like this time, he has always faintly felt that his alchemist's grade should be about to break through, but he needs an opportunity, and this opportunity is there now, and he can get a treasure, why not?

Both of them were silent, and there was a tense atmosphere in the air, and the little fox shook his body in Ada's arms and silently drilled into it.

Just when everyone thought that the two of them were going to fight, the immortal punishment suddenly sighed, "That's it, you have always been careful about doing things, I should trust you, it's just ......" The immortal punishment was silent for a moment, Xiao Chen stared at him, he said with a solemn expression: "Only this time, I don't want you to put yourself in danger like last time." ”

Xiao Chen didn't answer immediately, he was silent for a while, and then nodded solemnly, "Okay, I promise you that I won't casually put myself in danger in the future." ”

The last time he was in the small world, he was lucky and met the ancestor of the Xiao family, if it wasn't for the ancestor guarding in Wumeng Valley, he wouldn't have gained much, and maybe he would be killed by Zimeng. After all, judging from her later words and deeds, Zimeng is really a woman who can't be looked at with normal logic.

Good luck is not always there, and within the scope of control, it is the most correct behavior not to be exposed to danger.

With Xiao Chen's solemn promise, Immortal Punishment didn't say anything more.

There was still some time for the alchemist exchange meeting, and it was not held in Ningyang City, so on the second day, Xiao Chen and his party set off again and rushed in the direction of Wumeng Valley.

Coincidentally, the city where the Alchemist Exchange Conference was held was in the middle of Ningyang and Wumeng Valley, and there was a river named Changhe that lay across the boundary of the Heavenly Saint Kingdom, dividing the cities along the river, and Wumeng Valley was in the upper reaches of the Changhe River.

Three days later, the group arrived at the lower reaches of the long river, when they arrived it was sunset, the sky was a golden red remnant sun, the afterglow fell on the sparkling river, showing a shining gold, there were a few white cranes on the shore foraging, saw someone coming, flapping their wings and flying away.

"This is the lower reaches of the Long River, and we want to get to the Umeng Valley as soon as possible, so we can get there in about seven days by boat. ”

Yuan Jin is a person from the Heavenly Saint Kingdom, and he naturally knows more about the capital city in China, and originally according to Xiao Chen's plan, he was going to take the land route, but he didn't notice that the Valley of the Hundred Beasts was the upper reaches of the Long River. After Yuan Jin joined, Xiao Chen's original plan was changed, and the time was greatly reduced.

Immortal punishment turned out to have no good impression of Yuan Jin, and even felt that it was a little troublesome to follow them, but because of the greatly shortened trip, he finally had a good face for Yuan Jin, and Yuan Jin was about to fly in the past few days.

"The boat should have already departed by this time, and it seems that we only have to take tomorrow. ”

Xiao Chen glanced around, they were all returning ships, and the departing ships had already left, leaving only the empty stern.

"Let's go and ask about the specific situation first, these should all be out of the boat, and see if there is a ship going up tomorrow. ”

Yuan Jin said and walked towards a few boatmen not far away, who should have just come back from the boat, and were sitting together chatting at this time, and there were guests coming off the boat.

"A few boatmen, I want to inquire, tomorrow, do you have a boat to go to the Wumeng Valley?" Yuan Jin has a lively temperament and is good at talking to people, and it didn't take long for him to chat with several boatmen.

One of them looked a little old, and he was also a cultivator, and when he heard that Yuan Jin and his party were going to Wumeng Valley, the boat family waved his hand again and again.

"Guest, we don't dare to take your business, the nearest Hundred Beast Valley, it's not peaceful, no one dares to go for a long time. ”

Several other boatmen also said again and again: "Yes, you are so young, what are you doing in Wumeng Valley? There is no city director in that city now, a group of demon beasts are lawless, and anyone who gets close to Wumeng Valley for half a step will be caught and eaten by them." ”

"If you want to practice, go somewhere else, the Wumeng Valley is really not peaceful, we boaters dare not approach, and it will stop far away, I advise you, don't go and make trouble for yourself. ”

Xiao Chen walked over when Yuan Jin was talking to those people, and happened to hear the advice of several boatmen, and couldn't help but be a little surprised by the situation in Wumeng Valley.

Yuan Jin was a native of the Heavenly Saint Kingdom, and in terms of his understanding of the Valley of the Hundred Beasts, he was far higher than Xiao Chen, so he was even more surprised than Xiao Chen.

"It's not a matter of a day or two that there is no city lord in Wumeng Valley, the demon beasts inside have always been the same as the well water of the human race, and I haven't heard of their bad deeds before, why is it suddenly not peaceful recently?"

The boatman was reluctant to answer at first, but Yuan Jin threw a high-grade spirit stone over, and the boatman's eyes immediately lit up, and he took it with both hands and rubbed it carefully in his hands, and hurriedly told Yuan Jin what he knew.

"The problem is that there is no city lord here, listening to the accent of the prince, it seems that he is from the imperial capital, you are far away, and I don't know the situation here. That Wumeng Valley, since there was no city lord to manage it, the demon beasts inside have become more and more unrestrained, and they have to fight almost every year. Those big demons who have cultivated to a high level all want to become the new city lords.

It's just that every year, the imperial capital will send people to appease, and those big demons will stop, but this year, the imperial capital didn't send people over, and the demon beasts inside couldn't sit still. About a month ago, a civil war broke out in it, and it was fought so hard that several nearby cities were killed. I don't know if this matter has been reported to the imperial court, anyway, since then, if anyone dares to approach the territory of Wumeng Valley, they will all be captured by those demon beasts, and no one dares to make trouble. ”

Yuan Jin chuckled lightly and raised his eyebrows at Xiao Chen, "It seems that the country ...... Uncle Guo really left you in a big trouble, do you regret it?"

He originally wanted to talk about the monarch, but when he noticed that the environment was wrong, he immediately changed his name again, and when he heard those boatmen, he only thought that they were the children sent out by his family to practice.
