"Hongxi City has arrived, let's hurry up!" Ye Cui'e exclaimed happily

"All right!" everyone replied excitedly, and they all quickened their pace, and marched forward for a few more miles, and finally saw the huge city, which lay quietly on the banks of the raging tide river, in a square structure, the city walls were towering, nearly two hundred meters high, and the whole body was made of black solid boulders, each side was a hundred kilometers long, and under the lingering of the swamp mist, it added a mysterious atmosphere to it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The giant city, half embedded in a swamp, is usually outside the swamp, just above the boundary between the swamp and the land.

Everyone couldn't help but stop in front of it, admire its majestic posture, and heard Ye Cui'e mutter: "Hongxi City, the easternmost city in the neutral region, is also the third largest city in the neutral region, and the population living in it has reached as much as 50 million. This time, we've finally arrived. ”

"Miss, let's go in. The guard in the back said.

So everyone walked together in the direction of the city gate, and the city gate of Hongxi City was also built extremely grand, as high as 30 meters and as wide as 15 meters, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going to the city gate.

There are two rows of guards standing at the gate, and anyone who walks into the city will consciously go to their guard chief and take out the yuan stone for him, which is the so-called entrance fee.

Ye Cui'e also led everyone to the guard chief, who glanced at them and said, "You are a group of eighteen people, do you have a long-term residence permit?" If not, each of you has to pay fifty high-grade yuan stones, a total of nine hundred. ”

"Fifty high-grade Yuan stones, so expensive!" Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru had never been here before, so they couldn't help but scream.

"What, it's too expensive, don't go into the city if it's too expensive, this is the rule set by our Ma City Lord, and anyone must abide by it!"

Seeing him so unreasonable, everyone held their breath in their hearts, and the atmosphere seemed to become tense for a while.

"Okay, let's stop arguing! Isn't it just nine hundred high-grade yuan stones, just give it to him!" Ye Cui'e said at this time, and took out the yuan stone from the Qiankun bag and handed it to the guard chief.

Everyone was able to enter the city, and Zhou Ziru said angrily: "The guard chief just now was really arrogant, we shouldn't give this kind of person a good face at all!"

Ye Cui'e persuaded on the side: "Engong, forget it, we are guests, people are the masters, besides, this Hongxi City Lord Ma Yufei is a strong man of the Martial Saint Great Perfection, and his subordinates have gathered a group of masters, we can't afford to provoke them at all, and the purpose of our coming this time is to do business, it is wiser to choose more than less." ”

"Hmph, the entrance fee to Hongxi City is also ridiculously high, how many yuan will they collect on this day?" Zhou Ziru was still unwilling.

Ye Cui'e had to persuade again: "Engong, this is also a helpless thing, the neutral zone is a place where the heroes are divided and lawless, and the city lord here is the emperor of the soil, and the rules of each city are set by them, and we ordinary people have to abide by them, otherwise we will be killed." ”

"Alright, son, remember the purpose of our trip, and don't make too much trouble. Zhan Chen knew that his temperament was more impulsive, so he also reminded him, and then turned his head to Ye Cui'e and said, "Cui'e, give it, this is the entrance fee of our brothers." As he spoke, he took out a top-grade Yuan Stone from the Qiankun bag and handed it to her.

"That's it, you are all my life-saving benefactors, how can I take your money?" Ye Cui'e hurriedly waved her hand and refused.

"Take it, it's one thing. Zhan Chen shoved the Yuan stone into her hand, and then said: "Ye Cui'e, thank you for sending our brother here, although we are reluctant, but we should also part, the green mountains do not change the green water flows, if there is fate, we will meet again in the future." ”

"I'm leaving, I haven't even repaid you both. Ye Cui'e showed a look of melancholy.

"Don't bother, goodbye!" Zhan Chen said goodbye to her, and then left with Zhou Ziru, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

Ye Cui'e looked at the direction where the two of them disappeared in a daze, biting her lip silently, just squeezing the yuan stone in her hand tightly......

Let's say that after Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru separated from Ye Cui'e and his party, they wandered around the bustling streets. This Hongxi City is really too big, the houses are one after another, and there are all people as far as the eye can see, which suddenly gives people a sense of dazedness. The two had just left the natural labyrinth of the Hongxi Swamp, but at this time they felt as if they had fallen into a larger man-made labyrinth. I was at a loss for a while, so I casually entered a hotel next to me, asked for a few side dishes, and began to eat and drink.

Zhou Ziru then asked Zhan Chen, "Zhan Chen, what should we do next? Should we return to the Xuandao Sect directly from this neutral zone? Or stay in Hongxi City for a while. ”

As soon as he mentioned Xuandao Sect, Zhan Chen couldn't help but think of his wife Su Yun and son Zhan Xu, I don't know how they are now, I really can't wait to put on their wings immediately and fly back to take a look. Intellectually, however, told him that it was impossible.

On the other hand, the words that Ye Wu said to him before setting off also lingered in his ears from time to time, "Hongxi City may have a chance to break through the Martial Saint." This seduced him deeply, and made him instinctively want to stay and explore

After weighing it again and again, he said: "Ziru, I have thought about it, we don't know anything about this neutral area, so how can we find our way back? Why don't we go to all parts of this Hongxi City tomorrow to inquire about the news, at least we must first understand the Hongxi City and the neutral area where we are, and then make the next step." ”

Zhou Ziru thought for a while and said, "Zhan Chen, what you said is not unreasonable, then let's find a place to live first, and start early tomorrow morning." ”

So the two left the hotel and found a large hotel called Grand Hyatt Guesthouse nearby.

The two of them went out early the next morning, and Zhan Chen said to Zhou Ziru: "Ziru, you go to the west of the city to understand the situation first, and I will go to the east of the city for a walk, and in the evening, we will meet here and summarize what we have learned, how about it?"

"That's very good!" Zhou Ziru nodded approvingly.

"Ziyu, if you find any detailed maps of neutral areas or something, buy a copy first, and we can work out the route back accordingly. ”

"Don't worry, I know!"

So the two separated, Zhan Chen left the gate of the Grand Hyatt Inn, and walked along the avenue towards the east of Hongxi City, but saw a strange scene at a fork in the road, a large group of people gathered in the middle of the road, all blocked the avenue, one by one, they all stretched their necks, looking forward to it, as if they were waiting for something.

Seeing this, of course, he was curious, so he grabbed one of the men and asked, "What are you waiting for, this brother?"

Seeing that Zhan Chen's breath was deep and strong, the man knew that he had met a master, so he didn't dare to slack off, saluted respectfully, and replied: "Senior, it's really not a secret, we are waiting for the city lord of Heiye City." ”

"Who is the city lord of Black Ye City, why are so many people waiting for her?" Zhan Chen was even more curious.

"Senior, you're from out of town, right?"

"Yes, I've just arrived in this neutral area, and I don't know anything. ”

A trace of ambiguity flashed in the man's eyes, and he snickered: "Senior, do you know, this Black Ye City is also a giant city in our neutral region, and its city lord is called the Black Ye Fairy, and it is said that his appearance is unparalleled in the world, and he will overwhelm the country and the city, so that the sun and the moon will be tarnished." I've heard people say that anyone who has seen her true face sighs that this life is in vain, and they are willing to call him to die right now. No, I heard that she is coming to visit us in Hongxi City today, and everyone is waiting here, just to see her face. ”

When Zhan Chen heard his words, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and felt very disdainful in his heart: "I didn't expect these people to be so poor and boring, waiting here for a long time, just to see a woman!"

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion ahead, and those who were waiting also became excited, shouting in their mouths: "Here, it must be Heiye Fairy she is here." ”

A bunch of people were like flies seeing carrion, and they swarmed forward, whistling, shouting: "Black Ye Fairy, Black Ye Fairy!"

In an instant, a huge road was crowded with people.

Of course, Zhan Chen would not follow them to coax, but looked far away towards the avenue, and saw a phoenix chariot slowly driving from a distance, among which there was indeed a woman sitting, wearing a black veil, with a graceful posture, but unfortunately Feng chariot was surrounded by a thick layer of light veil, and it was impossible to spy on her face at all.

At this moment, a familiar feeling seemed to flash in Zhan Chen's mind, but this feeling was also fleeting, and then he immediately extinguished the distracting thoughts in his mind, and thought: "Okay, Zhan Chen, don't delay here any longer, it's better to do business first." ”

Thinking so, Zhan Chen turned into the intersection on the side and continued to walk in the direction of the east of the city. There are many shops in the east of Hongxi City, and each shop is full of people, which makes people dazzled.

Zhan Chen walked on the street for a long time, and also entered some shops to check, there are all kinds of elixirs, weapons and martial arts here, but they are all ordinary goods, and they are no longer in Zhan Chen's eyes.

After watching it for a long time, he found nothing, and the only thing that made the most sense was to sell a large number of surplus mid- and low-level demon pills and elixirs in his hands in batches, and obtained nearly 10 million top-grade yuan stones.

After wandering around for a long time, Zhan Chen felt that it was not a solution, so he came to a shop selling snacks on the side of the street and found a seat to sit down.

The person in charge of the spoon there was a young man, and the person who entertained the business was a white-haired old man, that old man only had the Great Perfection of Martial Arts, he saw Zhan Chen sitting down and greeted him, and asked with a smile: "Guest officer, what do you want to come?"

Zhan Chen casually took out dozens of top-grade yuan stones and put them on the table, the old man saw this, his pupils couldn't help shrinking, and his whole body was trembling with excitement, these yuan stones were undoubtedly a huge wealth for a low-level martial artist like him.

I heard Zhan Chen say: "Old man, you have worked hard, I am not here to eat, just to ask you for a message, if you answer well, these yuan stones will all belong to you, how about it?"

The old man calmed down his excitement for a while, and then said: "Senior, if you have any questions, just ask, as long as I know, I will definitely tell you." ”

Zhan Chen smiled: "Actually, it's not a big problem, I just want to ask where to sell a detailed map of the neutral zone here?"

"Detailed map, is it that simple?" the old man couldn't help but be stunned.

"It's as simple as that. Zhan Chen said with certainty.

"Senior, you might as well go to the antiquities street in front of you, there must be something you're looking for. "The old man has obviously lived in this Hongxi City for a long time, and knows everything about this area.

"Antiquities Street?" Zhan Chen stood up and continued to walk forward.

The old man looked at the shiny Yuan Stone on the table in a daze, and still didn't believe that he had earned such a fortune so easily.

After a long time, he reacted, and asked Zhan Chen's back, "Senior, why is this, why do you want to give me so many yuan stones?"

Zhan Chen didn't answer him, but continued to walk forward, because just now he clearly heard the young man in charge of the spoon calling the old man "Dad", but at that moment he also thought of his father.
