Chapter 224: On the eve of the beast tide
When Xing Feng saw this scene, he looked very surprised, and said, "Uncle Jiao, this can't be Qinglong Village, right?"
"Haha!" Hornblade laughed loudly and said, "Yes, this city is Qinglong Village, the city wall is sixty-six zhang high and thirty-three zhang thick, and the walls of the city wall are all made of diamond and chrome alloy, which is extremely hard, even if the fifth-order demon beast wants to break through this city, it will take three days." ”
Hearing this, the torture wind was even more surprised, the hardness of chromium alloy is well-known among all refining materials, if you want to temper chrome alloy into the way you want, it is very difficult, and although the price of chromium alloy is not high, it has also reached the value of a medium-grade spirit stone for a pound of chromium alloy, which is as high as sixty-six zhang, and I don't know how far the city wall is, in addition to diamonds, the number of chromium alloys has also reached a very amazing point.
Looking at Xing Feng's face with a look of surprise, the smile on Jiao Blade's face became even stronger, and said, "It's not too early, let's go back first." ”
Jiao Blade's words made Xing Feng unconsciously look up at the blue sky, and asked suspiciously: "Uncle Jiao, I don't seem to have experienced a dark night since I came here, the sky has been like this for several days, and even the sun has never appeared, I don't know where Uncle Jiao can see that it's not early at this time?"
"It's a long story, we'll talk about it as we go. Horn Blade took the lead in stepping on the avenue and walked towards Qinglong Village, and when the Xing Feng behind him saw this, he also followed Horn Blade's footsteps and walked towards Qinglong Village.
In the process of walking over, Hornblade told Xingfeng a lot of phenomena here, such as why there is no sun in the sky, it is because the sun was brought down by the legendary god of war "Hou Yi", and now it is the power of the stars of the Eastern Seven Nakshatras that release the bright light, and the power of the stars is a cycle every seven days, and at that time, the Eastern Seven Nakshatras will fall into a dormant period of up to seven days, during this time, the entire sky will be pitch black, and you can't see your fingers.
And today is the last day of the seventh day, according to the characteristics of their long-term residence here, they specially made a timer to record the dormancy time of the power of the stars, this timer is outside Qinglong Village, all the villages have it, once the power of the stars enters dormancy, they will return to Qinglong Village to avoid the sneak attack of demon beasts, and the special energy stored in their bodies will also be reduced, that is to say, after the power of the stars enters dormancy, the strength of all the people in Qinglong Village will be reduced.
After walking for a cup of tea, Xing Feng could clearly see that there were dozens of meters of sturdy men wearing cloth vests standing outside the city gate, each holding a spear and a pitch-black machete at their waists, standing expressionlessly on both sides of the city gate, and above the city gate there was a bluestone plaque, which was crookedly engraved with the words "Qinglong Village".
After a while, Xingfeng and Horn Blade came to the city gate, Horn Blade did not enter the city gate immediately, but put his right hand on his chest, and then bowed slightly, after doing all this, Horn Blade walked into Qinglong Village without saying a word, and those soldiers also made the same movements as Horn Blade in return, with a very respectful expression.
Although Xingfeng didn't understand why Hornblade, as the head of the family, wanted to salute these men, he also learned the appearance of Hornblade, saluted to the men standing on both sides of the city gate, and then followed Hornblade's footsteps into Qinglong Village.
Through the thirty-three zhang thick city gate, what catches the eye is not a scene of prosperity, but a scene of incomparable decline, the road is lined with tents of various styles, there is not a complete building, outside the tent there are many people sorting out the fur of the demon beasts, as if they want to use the fur of these demon beasts as clothes.
The Horn Blade who was walking in front of him didn't speak, he kept walking in front, and the Xing Feng who was following behind him felt a little strange, the Horn Blade seemed to have changed a person since he returned to Qinglong Village, and he had become silent, but Xing Feng didn't ask any questions, and still followed behind the Horn Blade.
After walking for almost three hours, Xingfeng finally saw some complete buildings, although these buildings did not look so tall and exquisite, but there were tents all the way, and a two-story building suddenly appeared, which made Xingfeng even more curious, did these buildings belong to the forces of the Eastern Seven Houses?
After turning east and west for a while, the horn blade finally stopped in front of a gate made of ironwood trees, although it was a gate, in fact, it was set up on both sides with two large ironwood sticks, and an unknown wooden plaque was supported at the top of the ironwood tree up to three meters high, which simply said the word "Jiaojia", and next to this gate were wooden walls built of ironwood trees, which extended to both sides, up to several thousand meters.
"I just received a notice from the family that there may be a beast tide coming this nightfall, so you come with me to the council chamber. Hornblade looked back at Xingfeng with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice.
Xing Feng nodded, although he didn't know why Hornblade wanted to take him, but if he was able to contact more people from Qinglong Village, he would be able to find a way to leave this place, to be precise, a way to leave the third area.
Immediately, Xingfeng followed Jiao Blade into Jiao's house, and walked straight towards the council hall, almost no one was seen along the way, and a huge Jiaojia Xingfeng actually walked for almost a stick of incense before he saw a guard, and after the guard bent down and saluted with them, he hurriedly walked outside.
Xing Feng and the two soon came to the conference hall, Xing Feng found that the conference hall was already full of people, all over thirty years old, obviously these people should be high-ranking and powerful people of the Jiao family, in the center of the hall sat an old man who looked like a horn blade, Xing Feng guessed that this should be the father of the horn blade, the head of the previous generation of the Jiao family.
Xingfeng and Horn Blade were discovered by everyone as soon as they entered the council hall, except for the old man sitting in the first place, everyone else in the hall got up one after another and saluted towards Horn Blade, and while saluting, they all looked at Horn Blade and Torture Wind with a look of doubt, it seems that on such an important occasion, why did their head of the family bring a teenager, and this young man's dress did not seem to be from their Qinglong Village.
"Excuse me!"
Hornblade stretched out his hands and raised them upward, strode to the center of the hall, and said in a deep voice: "He is Xingfeng, his origin will be talked about later, just now I received a rumor from the family, saying that hundreds of thousands of demon beasts are gathering towards Qinglong Village, I wonder if you have already investigated this matter?"
"Homecoming master, this matter has been investigated clearly, there are indeed hundreds of thousands of demon beasts gathering towards Qinglong Village, their intention is obvious, that is, to wait for the power of the stars to enter dormancy and launch an attack on Qinglong Village, more than three fifth-order demon beasts have been found in these demon beast groups, I wonder if these fifth-order demon beasts will make a move this time?" A man wearing rattan armor, who was originally sitting on the left hand side of the hall, said with a fist clenched towards the horn blade.
