Chapter 33: Entering the City
"Why has the security level of Frost City increased so much, it can't be because of that sissy. So many soldiers looked at me, how did I get in? ”
Li Xin'an walked around Frost City from a distance, there were almost no gaps in the city wall, there were alert soldiers everywhere, and the only ones that were not guarded by too many people were the two big rivers that flowed out of Frost City.
"It's hard to get close to Frost City, and it's definitely impossible to get past the walls, so try swimming through the river. ”
Li Xin'an took the biochemical demon dog back to the preparation area and came to the river on the east side of Frost City.
The river was hot, and a thick layer of white mist was floating, and he looked around, and the surroundings were dark, and he found nothing abnormal, so he squatted down to the river and put his hand into the river, and tested the temperature of the river.
"The water temperature is not very hot, about 40 degrees, you can swim, and the fog on the surface of the river can also play a certain hidden role, just do it!"
Li Xin'an took off his dirty clothes and shoes, put them into the ink snow, and then plunged into the water and swam towards Frost City.
The river was so deep that he couldn't touch the bottom when he stood up straight, so he kept swimming forward.
"It's good that I learned to swim when I was a child, otherwise it would have been embarrassing. ”
Li Xin'an continued to swim forward in the white mist, and his swimming speed slowed down a lot as he approached Frost City.
Because he needs to keep an eye on the searchlight beam, whenever the searchlight beam hits, he has to get into the water in advance to dodge, and when the beam disappears, he can poke his head out to breathe fresh air.
Under the principle of safety first and speed second, he finally came to the bottom of the walls of Frost City safely.
Where the river flows is a low hole in the city wall, which is used for drainage, and the entrance is firmly sealed by a rusty iron gate, which is made of thick iron bars, leaving only a narrow gap for the river to flow through, and people cannot pass through it.
"This is the only way to get in, let the Devil-Faced Demon Spider cut it open!, no, that will make a loud noise, let's use my ability to melt the iron bar slowly, just fuse the upper and lower parts of the iron bar separately, and then separate the iron bar from the iron gate. ”
Li Xin'an held the upper end of one of the iron bars tightly with his two hands, slowly running the energy in his body, generating extremely high heat in the palm of his hand, which was the method he transformed according to the flame bomb.
It didn't take long for Li Xin'an to fuse the upper part of the iron bar.
He put his hand into the water, held the lower part of the iron bar, and used the same method to run the energy in his body, the difficulty in the water was obviously much more difficult, and it took Li Xin'an twice as long to melt a gap at the lower end.
The iron bars that were blown at both ends left the iron gate, causing a gap in the iron gate that was just enough for one person to pass through, and Li Xin'an threw the iron bar he was holding into the water and swam into the river hole through the gap.
The river cave was dark, nothing could be seen, and the water level was very high, the distance between the river and the top of the cave was only a few dozen centimeters, and Li Xin'an only had one head exposed.
With his eyes closed, he felt the direction of the river with his body, and swam forward in the opposite direction to the river.
After swimming for a distance of about a few tens of meters, Li Xin'an finally touched a hard object, and stroked it back and forth and found that it was still an iron gate.
"This wall is so thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it has not been used well, there are fatal loopholes, if the enemy comes in through the river, they will not be able to find it, fortunately I am here this time. ”
Li Xin'an used the same method to open a gap in the iron gate and swam over.
It was no longer all darkness, and finally some light came from afar.
Li Xin'an looked carefully for a while, and found that the light came from a house on the bank, next to the house was a path leading to the river, and behind him was the majestic city wall.
"Haha, finally in. ”
Li Xin'an cleaned up his body casually, slowly walked to the shore, ran his energy, dried the moisture on his skin and hair in an instant, and then took out his clothes from the ink snow.
"It's dirty!"
Clothes soaked in blood, mud, and sweat emit an unpleasant smell, and I haven't felt it when I've been wearing it, but when I take it off for so long and suddenly take it out, I just feel that the smell on the clothes is unbearable.
Li Xin'an carefully washed his clothes and shoes with river water, although they were not cleaned, they were much better than before, and they no longer emitted a disgusting smell.
He used his energy to dry his clothes and shoes, put them on, and quietly walked down the muddy path.
"Haha, my ability is pretty good. ”
"Next, we have to hurry up and find Brother Tie, where to find it when Frost City is so big.
I remember that Brother Tie once asked me to go to the Tongbao Pharmacy in the west of the city to take a medicinal bath after coming to Frost City, and he had a good relationship with the owner of the pharmacy, so it was better to go to the pharmacy first, and then find a way to ask Brother Tie where he lived. ”
Li Xin'an walked along the path all the way, and on both sides were ancient but not dilapidated houses, revealing an antique charm, somewhat like the buildings of ancient China.
After turning a corner, my eyes suddenly brightened, this was a street, obviously much more prosperous than the path just now, the road was paved with smooth stone slabs, the houses on both sides of the street were taller and more ornate, and there were glowing lamps hanging outside the houses, and the whole street was as bright as daytime.
Some of the shops on the street were still open, and the guys were napping behind the counters.
On this rainy night, there are still a lot of people walking the streets with umbrellas, all dressed in beautiful silk cloth clothes.
There are almost no people like Li Xin'an who wear animal skin clothes, and many people steal strange glances from him.
Li Xin'an didn't care, and walked along the street cheekily.
"It's not okay to walk around like this, you have to find someone to ask. ”
At this moment, an arrogant voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Hey, stop, talk about you. ”
Li Xin'an turned around slowly, and a group of soldiers was walking towards him, led by a tall middle-aged man.
He came to Li Xin'an's side, stared at Li Xin'an for a while, and finally pinched the animal skin coat on Li Xin'an's body and asked:
"People from the west of the city, what are you doing here?"
Li Xin said that an ordinary young man was a little frightened when he met the soldiers, but he pretended to be calm: "I can't sleep at night, so I come out for a walk." ”
The man slapped Li Xin'an's face suddenly: "Wander around, is this the place where you should come?" There are all distinguished adults living here, let you go this time, hurry up and go back to the west of the city, and let me break your legs when I see you again." ”
"Yes! Thank you for your forgiveness!"
Li Xin'an lowered his head and ran forward covering his face.
"Hey, Chengxi is over here!
The man kicked Li Xin'an again and pointed to the dark alley next to him.
Li Xin'an didn't speak, pretending to be frightened and ran into the alley, burrowing into the darkness.
"Fool in the west of the city!" came the man's insulting voice behind him.
After running a few hundred meters, Li Xin'an stopped, leaned against the damp wall and breathed heavily.
"Huh~ almost exposed, he thought I lived in the west of the city because of the animal skin clothes I was wearing, scarce things are expensive, people with status in the frost city wear cloth clothes, and the poor wear animal skin clothes, it seems that the east of the city lives in the dignitaries, and the west of the city should be where the poor live. ”
Li Xin'an touched the handprint on his face and thought hatefully.
"Dare to slap me, I will return this slap sooner or later. But it's still important to get down to business. ”
Li Xin'an walked along the damp and dark alley, which was flanked by high walls and had no doors.
After walking for a long time, I walked out of the alley, and suddenly my eyes became open, and a wide open space appeared in front of me, with a circular flower belt in the middle of the clearing, and many roads around it.
The floor here is paved with gravel, and it is not as neat and clean as in the eastern part of the city.
There were far fewer pedestrians on the road, and the clothes they wore were messy, some wore animal skins, some wore cloth clothes, and some people wore animal skins with cloth clothes.
"There are so many roads, which one is going to the west of the city, I still have to find someone to ask! It's better to ask Brother Tie directly where he lives, Brother Tie is so strong, he must be very famous in Frost City." ”
At this moment, an old man on crutches walked in front of him with his hands behind his back, wearing a straw robe, his eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his face looked very friendly.
"That's it! The old man must know more about Frost City. ”
Li Xin'an walked in front of the old man and said with a smile: "Hello grandpa, excuse me." ”
The old man was hunched over, slightly shorter than Li Xin'an, he raised his head and looked at Li Xin'an and asked:
"What's the matter, young man. ”
"I want to ask where Tielei Mountain is, do you know?"
"Hahaha, Tie Lei Mountain of the hunting team, you don't even know where he lives, you're not from Frost City, right? ”
Li Xin'an suddenly became vigilant, but he still forcibly kept his composure and looked at the old man calmly.
The old man continued, "Or you are a servant of some noble family, busy serving your master, and know nothing about the outside world. ”
Li Xin'an thought for a while and replied: "Haha, the old man is really smart, I belong to the Su family, this time my master asked me to find Captain Tie to bring a message." ”
"Oh, Su family, come with me, just drop by. ”
Hearing Li Xin'an say that he was from the Su family, the old man suddenly had no desire to speak, and walked forward with his crutches.
"It seems that the Su family's reputation in Frost City is not very good. ”
Li Xin quietly followed behind the old man.
