Chapter 40: Dead Leaf City
Dongfang Shuo stood at the head of the city for a long time.
It wasn't until he couldn't see Xiao Huo's figure anymore that he finally turned around.
"Nima!"
But who expected that when he turned around and stepped on the air, he fell directly from the city tower.
When the soldiers who were blocked in the city saw this, they looked at each other.
Dongfang Shuo is so embarrassed, should they see it or not?
At this time, Dongfang Shuo showed a calm face, stood up and patted his buttocks.
"Ahem. ”
He coughed lightly twice, and said solemnly, "I don't look comfortable with this tower, you can find a few craftsmen another day and redesign it, understand?"
When the soldiers heard this, how could they dare to slack off?
"Yes!"
Several people spoke in unison.
"That's good. ”
Dongfang Shuo nodded as if he was very pleased, and then took a step towards the city.
Nima is a big loser this time.
It's better to slip away before these soldiers can react.
"Lord Dongfang. ”
But Dongfang Shuo couldn't go far, but a soldier suddenly stopped him.
Dongfang Shuo turned around: "What's wrong?"
"This ...... Xiao Huo is still chasing after him?"
"A cowardly thief is just a thief, and he won't be arrogant for long, so you don't have to worry about him. ”
With that, Dongfang Shuo immediately left without looking back.
The soldiers looked at each other and could only leave in confusion.
And after returning to the city, Dongfang Shuo naturally went straight to Xiao's house.
At this point, though, it seems that the matter has been dealt with.
The door of the Xiao family was closed, and the people who had gathered before had now dispersed.
However, Ji Henghu still sat obediently in place and waited for Dongfang Shuo to come back.
As soon as it saw Dongfang Shuo, it ran over happily.
"Brother, thank you. ”
Dongfang Shuo casually grabbed a passerby, "Do you know how the Xiao family handled that incident just now?"
"What else can I do? I heard that even Lord Dongfang pointed out to his face that it was Xiao Huo's responsibility, and his Xiao family could only spend a lot of money to appease him. Said the passer-by who was pulled.
With that, passers-by left in a hurry.
Heavy money to appease?
Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
It only takes a little confirmation to know why this old man died.
The elders of the Xiao family, in order to buckle the basin on Xiao Huo's body, were so stupid.
In this way, it is the right choice to let Xiao Huo leave as soon as possible.
Thinking in his heart, Dongfang Shuo had a wind under his feet, and at the same time as he grabbed the dull hair and picked up Ji Henghu, he rose up again.
In the blink of an eye, he was above Wudan City, and his gaze quickly swept over the city.
......
In the middle of the city, in an inconspicuous corner.
"Big brother, it's the first time I've seen so much money!"
"Yes, big brother, now we are developed!"
After the distribution of the spoils, several little splashes weighed their respective share of the money, and their faces were full of excitement.
But the splashy boss laughed, and said proudly: "You guys have no money, so much money will bloom, so if you make a lot of money with me in the future, won't you be happy to die on the spot?"
As he spoke, the old man with the broken skin collected the money.
"Boss, but I think this might be a way to get rich. ”
"It's you!"
The splashy boss had a brain meltdown, "If it weren't for our brother's lucky stars, he Dongfang Shuo wouldn't have been able to see through us, and we would have to go around without food today!"
Everyone didn't dare to mention it again for a while.
Then, another person pointed to the old man lying on the side and asked in a low voice, "Then how to deal with this, boss?"
"A fire burned, and no one knows. ”
The Broken Skin Boss said casually.
Several people glanced at each other, and without thinking too much, they took out the fire fold.
Bear!
Press the mechanism, and a flame ignites instantly.
"Old man, if you want to blame, you can only blame your life. As they spoke, they threw the fire fold forward.
Bang dang.
But the fire fell to the ground, but the flame was inexplicably extinguished.
"What's the matter, you can't handle such a well?!"
The ploppy boss was immediately angry, and took out a fire fold from himself.
As soon as you press the mechanism, the flames burst into flames.
But as soon as the fire broke out, the fire was extinguished in public.
"Where's the fire?!"
The skin-breaking boss was stunned.
When everyone saw this, they also looked at each other.
This fire fold has always worked, why is it all wilted today?
"Looking for fire?"
At this moment, suddenly a voice came from above, "The fire is coming!"
When they heard this, they looked up.
But before they could see clearly, a flame fell from the sky, devouring one of them.
The scorching flames made the splash skin miserable.
But before he could scream, he was already dying.
"What's going on?!"
When the crowd saw this, their faces immediately showed panic.
At this time, Dongfang Shuo had also fallen from the sky and stood among them.
"Dongfang Shuo?!Didn't you go after Xiao Huo?!" The old man retreated twice, frightened.
And Dongfang Shuo glanced at him and said coldly: "Xiao Huo is not guilty, I chased him for nothing, just to see him off." Do you think that clumsy cover-up will do anything?"
As soon as he heard this, the boss of the broken skin was suddenly frightened, and his whole body was shocked, and he staggered and sat on the ground.
The other two were also trembling, one of them wet his pants, and the other was even directly frightened and fainted.
"You should know the truth that you have to pay for your life when you kill someone, right?"
Dongfang Shuo's voice was cold and piercing, "For the sake of a few cents of money, you have to harm people, such an act is really chilling!"
As he spoke, flames had already formed in his hands again.
"No......" Seeing this, the splashy boss hurriedly got up and ran backwards, "Don't kill me!"
But how could he escape?
......
Dongfang Shuo buried the old man outside Wudan City, and because he didn't know his name, he could only temporarily erect a wordless monument.
After taking care of everything, Dongfang Shuo could finally return home.
[Take the main quest: Find Feng Hao and take him out of Withered Leaf City.] 】
[Mission time limit: 20 days.] 】
[Reward: Two pairs of Ten Thousand Miles Trackers.] 】
But when he even turned around and could see Wudan City, he received another system task.
And let no one live......
Dongfang Shuo has bitterness in his heart and can't say it.
But this is the main quest after all, and it has to be done.
Besides, he hadn't seen Feng Hao's condition so far, so it stands to reason that he should check it out.
From the 'cultivation' interface, Dongfang Shuo quickly learned Feng Hao's specific whereabouts.
He is one of the four major families in the withered leaf city of Xilan County, and the junior of the Feng family.
Xilan County is the northernmost country of the Tianyang Dynasty in Qingzhou, and its north is adjacent to the Huangmang Desert.
This yellow desert is a natural barrier between Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and those who are not strong enough cannot overcome it at all.
And according to the system, his Feng Hao's golden finger is also located in the yellow desert.
"Without further ado, it's better to hurry up. ”
Dongfang Shuo said.
However, even so, these twenty days are much more generous than before.
Therefore, before going to the withered leaf city of Xilan County, Dongfang Shuo still wanted to return to Dongfang's house first.
As long as there are people with some vision, when they look at this Ji Henghu, they will know that it is not an ordinary demon beast, so I don't know how much trouble it will bring to Dongfang Shuo when I take it with me.
Besides, he can't bring much money when he walks outside, and if he still has to raise this Ji Henghu, I'm afraid he won't be able to go far.
So after returning to Dongfang's home, he handed over Ji Henghu to Dongfang's third uncle to take care of.
However, even if this Ji Henghu is in the Dongfang family, it is particularly eye-catching.
Ordinary chains can't lock it at all, and its innate arrogance as a divine beast also makes it unwilling to be close to anyone except its owner Dongfang Shuo.
Fortunately, it still obeyed Dongfang Shuo's orders, and was willing to stay in Dongfang's house without causing trouble, so Dongfang Shuo was able to go on the road with peace of mind.
And day and night, when he arrived in Withered Leaf City, only fifteen days had passed.
At this time, it was still early, and when I inquired about Withered Leaf City, the city gate was opened relatively late, so Dongfang Shuo found a tavern outside the city to rest for the time being.
Dongfang Shuo, who never drinks alcohol, ordered a cup of tea at this time.
Sit quietly and wait for the city of dead leaves to open.
"Qi, when you come to the tavern and don't drink, you actually drink a cup of tea, it really makes people laugh and lose their big teeth!"
"Big brother, look at this kid's fine skin and tender meat, I'm afraid it's not a woman dressed as a man, hahahaha!"
Not far away, there was a sudden discordant sneer.
But Dongfang Shuo drank tea by himself, and he didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of person.
Seeing that Dongfang Shuo didn't speak, the two of them suddenly became angry, slammed the wine bowl on the table, and walked in front of Dongfang Shuo with a machete.
"Boy, you dare to ignore Uncle Ben, it seems that you are a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and you really don't know how powerful Uncle is!"
One of them, with a scar on his face, spoke fiercely.
Dongfang Shuo glanced at him, but put the teacup to his lips again.
Syllable!
I saw that the knife fell, and the teacup was directly smashed by the scar man, and the tea leaves were also scattered on the table.
Dongfang Shuo sighed lightly in his heart.
"Stinky boy, it looks like you don't know whether you're alive or dead!" scolded.
And the skinny eagle hook nose beside him immediately laughed, and said: "Today is your kid's bad luck, what you provoked today is Liu Dao Scar, who everyone knows about in ten miles and eight villages outside the withered leaf city, he is a dignified master of the Iron Bone Realm, but unfortunately it is too late for you to bow your head and admit your mistake now, my eldest brother has long wanted to sharpen his knife!"
"Really, Iron Bone Realm?"
Dongfang Shuo looked at them, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
......
"Uncle, what do you think of the strength, are you still comfortable?"
The hooked nose covered in injuries laughs with him, showing very skilled massage skills.
And Dongfang Shuo, who put his legs on the table, showed a slightly appropriate expression: "Comfortable and comfortable, keep up the good work." And you, Liu Scar, your one-handed sharpening skills are also amazing!"
"Thank you for the compliment!"
Liu Scar smiled and thanked him as he touched the knife with his left hand.
And his right hand hung straight down, and there was no movement at all.
At this time, Dongfang Shuo turned his head to look at the rising sun outside the window, watching it climb up little by little.
Time passed, and it was finally time for the city of Withered Leaves to open its gates......
