"Hoo ......"

Xia Fan let out a long breath and reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead, but his originally stable hands were shaking violently involuntarily at the moment.

The high-intensity inscription drawing not only caused a lot of mental wear and tear on his spirit, but his powerful physical body was actually almost at the limit of what he could bear.

If it weren't for the continuous strengthening of the phoenix immortal body's physical body, it would be impossible for a normal peak martial emperor to support Xia Fan's level of consumption!

Sitting on the ground and gasping for breath for a while, Xia Fan stood up, turned around and returned to the place where the villagers had gathered in the village.

"No problem? I felt the breath of the beast from before. ”

Ye still saw Xia Fan coming back and asked.

"Well, the big snake is very close to this side, but my inscription has just been drawn, so it hasn't been discovered by the big snake. At least for now, the village is not in any danger, under the effect of the inscription, the light in the entire village will be refracted, so that outsiders can not find out about the existence of the village at all, until the big snake is not solved, I recommend that all the villagers live honestly in the village area, do not go out at will. ”

Xia Fan nodded and explained.

When the old village chief saw the seriousness of what Xia Fan said, and then thought of the death of the captain of the village guard, he naturally hurried down.

Then Xia Fan briefly told the matter of Zoroastrianism in front of almost all the villagers in front of him, including the appearance of the big snake, without any concealment.

Most of these villagers living in the village have never left the village in their lives, so they basically have no concept of what Xia Fan said.

However, a small number of people still have some insight and naturally understand the benefits and disadvantages.

For a while, those who understood began to explain to the people around them.

"Tiedan, I and I are still going to leave with peanuts, the appearance of this big snake will probably be a disaster for the entire Southern Regions, we can't sit idly by, what do you think? Do you want to come with us, or stay in the village? ”

After explaining these things, Xia Fan turned his head to look at Tie Dan and asked.

Tie Dan was slightly stunned, and a hint of struggle appeared on his face.

As a young person, it is impossible not to be interested in the vast world outside.

However, this struggling emotion only lasted for a moment, and Tie Dan's face regained his calmness, and he said in a deep voice, "Master, I want to stay in the village. ”

"Iron Egg!"

The village chief couldn't help but frown and shouted.

"Village Chief, I know what you want to say, but ...... The village needs a guardian, and if I follow the Master, who will protect the village? Although I am still only a Ninth Rank Martial Master, with Master's careful teaching in the past two years, I believe that it will not be long before I can break through to become a Martial Sect. ”

Tie Dan said very seriously.

"But...... But you are still so young, if you stay in the village like this for the rest of your life, your life will be ...... It's really a waste! ”

The old village chief said with some hatred that iron does not become steel.

"Grandpa the village chief, the village is my life."

Tie Dan said categorically.

"Since Tie Dan is so determined, let him stay in the village."

Xia Fan stretched out his hand and rubbed Tie Dan's hair, and then said, "I will leave you enough pills and cultivation techniques, and after I and I leave, the village will depend on you for protection." ”

"Don't worry, Master! As long as I have my iron egg, no one will want to hurt the village in the slightest! ”

Tie Dan clenched his fist hard.

……

Chen Guo Tangcheng

As the border city of the Chen Kingdom, Tangcheng does not have the solemnity and solemnity that any other border city should have.

There are many restaurants in the city, and all kinds of painting boats and singing and dancing brothels can be seen everywhere.

The gates of the city were kept completely open all year round, and apart from a few customary gate guards, not even a single cavalry could be seen.

If this situation occurs in any border city in any country, it must be a sign of national destruction, but in the Tang City of Chen State, it is a very normal thing.

Because the country bordering the land outside Tangcheng is called Liang Kingdom.

The weakest country among the sixteen countries of the entire Southern Regions.

The fact that it has been able to exist in the territory of the Southern Regions is more due to the needs and charity of other countries, and such countries do not even have the ability to protect themselves, let alone invade from abroad.

Therefore, although Tangcheng is an important border city of Chen, it has been much safer than some cities in Chen's territory for so many years.

At the same time, it was also the only way for merchants from the Liang Kingdom to enter the land of the Chen State, and there were many merchants in the Chen State who would often travel between the two countries, which caused the extreme prosperity of Tangcheng.

It's midday, and it's one of the two busiest times of the day in the official soup city.

Xia Fan and Ye who were holding peanuts still walked into Tangcheng City.

The entry into the city at the city gate is almost none, and the taxes that the merchants who come and go every year have already fed the bureaucracy of the entire Tangcheng to the brim, even the lowest soldiers such as the city gate guards are full of food, and there is no motivation to search for those corners and corners.

After all, it is a border city, coupled with extremely prosperous commerce, so the military power in Tangcheng is still very strong, and it is enough to produce an absolute deterrent to the so-called Jianghu forces, although it cannot eliminate the small people, but it is fully capable of prohibiting the appearance of those big troubles.

Therefore, Tangcheng's attitude towards people has always been very open-minded.

"Looking at this crowd, I don't know how long this prosperity can last."

Ye still hugged the peanut that had changed back to the size of a puppy, and said with some emotion.

"The breath of that big snake is full of destruction and tyranny, it will definitely destroy the entire Liang Kingdom into ruins, as for the direction in which it will move after destroying the Liang Kingdom, it is unknown for the time being. However, if its target really chooses this Chen State, according to its strength and speed, it should be ten days later at the latest, and this place will become a scorched earth. ”

Xia Fan followed the crowd and took Ye Yi to a three-story restaurant.

He and Ye were still in a hurry along the way, in order to rush back to the Daqian Dynasty as soon as possible, God knows how many big and small things have happened in the past two years.

Staying in this soup city for a short time, one is to rest, and the other is to be isolated from the world for so long, I really want to know something.

So after entering the lobby of the restaurant, Xia Fan didn't pay attention to the smiling shopkeeper at all, but walked straight to a square table in the middle of the entire lobby, looked condescendingly at the two fierce-looking men sitting at this table, and said: "I'm optimistic about this position, if you are interested, get out of the way, I don't bother to do it." ”
