Chapter 9: A Chance Encounter with Rio

Sure enough, as Zilong thought, when he told Qixiang that he was going to the Blood Clotting Valley, Qixiang didn't stop him but shouted not to leave Zilong, and Ren Zilong said that it was useless to dry his mouth.

"Qixiang, it's too dangerous there, I can't take you on an adventure, not to mention that you're still a student here, aren't you. Zilong stroked Qixiang's hair and persuaded him earnestly.

"It's the danger that I have to go with my brother, I know that I can't stop my brother from taking risks, but at least I have to advance and retreat with my brother, instead of worrying about my brother's safety here all day, didn't my brother say that he would take care of Qixiang for the rest of his life? ”

Qixiang's words made Zilong speechless, and a feeling of emotion surfaced in his heart, and he smiled and nodded in agreement. When it's dangerous, let Qixiang hide in another dimension, Zilong thought to himself.

Seeing Zilong finally nodding, Qixiang cheered and rushed into Zilong's arms, Zilong could only hug Qixiang with a wry smile, and made up his mind to protect Qixiang's safety.

Zilong's departure did not alarm anyone, the college just had two days to go out to the business district, Zilong chose to leave that day, early in the morning, the three of them rushed to the business district, bought some food, and got a moving car and set off.

When Zilong's motor car drove out of the city gate, an old man sitting on the city wall looked at the energy car, when the energy car disappeared on the horizon, the old man stood up and flew towards the Gada Academy, and soon, the old man came to the magic circle hidden behind the big tree, his fingers pressed on the middle line, and suddenly a burst of light flashed on the magic circle, the brilliance dissipated, and the figure of the old man had disappeared.

The old man who entered the library soon came to the valley on the tenth floor, and when he hurried to the small cabin, several people had already gathered in the cabin, all with solemn faces. Seeing the arrival of the old man, several people raised their heads to look at him, and among the several people were Zi Qianhua and Ming Xin, both of whom were worried.

"He's already set off?" Zi Qianhua suddenly asked the old man. The old man nodded, and suddenly said, "The city lord will see if it is necessary to recover him and retrieve the holy relics." ”

"No need, no one has seen the true appearance of the holy relic for six thousand years, he can obtain the holy relic, which means that the holy relic is related to him, according to Legu, when he came out, he didn't take out anything, no one can know what the real holy relic is, even if it persecutes him, what's the use, it's better to observe him for a while to see what he wants to do, look at his current actions and words and deeds that day, the holy relic seems to be related to the Blood Clotting Valley, just let him go." Maybe you can find anything, but the most important thing now is to protect the safety of the holy relics, and the people of the Imperial Pavilion are thinking about it every day, and now they may have already made a move. Zi Qianhua, who knew Zilong's identity well, didn't want to refuse, once Tianjia had contact with Zilong, Zilong's eyes would inevitably be discovered, and Zilong's identity would inevitably be exposed, and the current situation did not allow him to appear.

"I agree with the city lord, I have seen that kid and have a good impression of him, there shouldn't be any problems with the holy relics in his hands, let's go see Zi Lao and see what his opinion is. The last sentence was said to Zi Qianhua, and after speaking, Naruto walked to the back of the house.

The cave is still so calm, but the terrifying force has disappeared, the sky above the waterhole is empty, and an old man who looks down at the calm water and doesn't know what he is thinking.

Zi Qianhua and Ming Xin said what they thought, and then stepped aside, respectfully waiting for the old man's instructions.

The old man was silent, and after a long time, the old man said in a hoarse voice: "Aren't all the people in Tianjia idle, let them go out for activities." ”

When Zi Qianhua and Ming Xin heard this, they were overjoyed. This is the old man agreed, and hurriedly withdrew.

No one can say how many people were buried in the Valley of Blood Valley, known as the Land of Death, and no one knows how bad the environment was there. Because anyone who enters the valley has no bones, although no one has ever set foot in it for more than a thousand years, the mention of this name still makes people frightened, and it can be said that the color of the smell is changed, which also makes the city of Qijia near the valley of blood clotted from a prosperous place to a desolate scene today.

The city is located in the southwest of the Lixi Realm, and the distance from the city of Gatta is not very close, even with a fast tool like a moving car, it will take seven or eight days to reach it. Along the way, what greeted her was the boundless grassland, and at first Qixiang was very excited to look at the surrounding scenery, but after only two days, the sinking scenery made her lose interest, and she hid in Zilong's alien space with Xiangpige to play.

For the disappearance of Qixiang, Karachisi was no longer surprised, and drove the wind energy car seriously, but in his heart, his admiration for Zilong was deeper.

Large caravans can often be seen in the open fields, and the lively convoys make their journey more fun. However, the closer you get to the city, the fewer people you encounter on the way. After stepping into the jurisdiction of the city, there are almost no passers-by or the shadow of wind cars, so you can imagine the desolation of the city.

Compared with the city of Gada, the city is obviously much smaller, and it is not prosperous enough, the old buildings look like they have not been renovated for many years, the wide streets are listless, all in a hurry, occasionally there are small merchants and hawkers with weak shouts and pulls, and the front of various shops is also quite deserted.

"It's really a depression. Looking at the expressions of those who walked by, Zilong sighed and said.

"Everyone is afraid of death, the legendary Blood Coagulation Valley is so terrifying, although no one knows the real situation, but the fear of it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the people who come here are worried about what monsters will rush out of the Blood Coagulation Valley, so naturally they don't dare to come again, and over time, this place has simply become a place of exile. The economic level is also the lowest in the Lixi Continent, there is no oil and water to fish, no one wants to be the city lord in this place, the city lord can only choose the city lord among their own people, and now the people of the dragon are also used to this kind of life, however, such a poor place has recently produced several outstanding people, and one of them is still my colleague. Karachith heard Zilong's exclamation and introduced him.

Naturally, Karachith's peers should be mercenary, and if you want to say that there are five outstanding mercenary, of course, it should be called six top mercenaries now, but the hometown of one of the four top mercenaries is here? If so, I don't know if I will be fated to meet them.

"Your Excellency, the hotel has arrived, do you think this hotel is okay?" asked Karachith, who suddenly stopped the carriage.

Zilong heard the words and looked out of the car, this hotel is simple and simple, although the building has been a little dilapidated, but just look at the bright smiles of the two waiters standing at the door, you can know the service here, but the name of this hotel is too strange, only to see a sign hanging in front of the door, which says "hotel hotel", which is the name of a talented person, it is too casual.

As if seeing Zilong's doubts, Karachisi explained with a smile while taking Zilong into the hotel: "This hotel has a history of hundreds of years, it is said that the boss at that time in order to please the city lord, he ran to the city lord's mansion to ask the city lord to give the hotel a name, the city lord at that time was notoriously lazy, how could he use his brain, so he casually said, 'What is the hotel not called a hotel', so there is this name, however, because of this name to attract a lot of customers." ”

Although the name of the hotel is a bit ironic, it is still comfortable, with all kinds of items in the small rooms, and even fruit drinks on the table for customers. Floor-to-ceiling windows expose the scenery outside to Zilong's field of vision, and the walls are painted in bright colors.

After settling down in the room, Zilong let Qixiang come out of the alien dimension, Qixiang was already tired of playing at this time, looked around with misty eyes, and fell asleep on Zilong's legs, so Zilong had to remain motionless, for fear of waking up Qixiang, Zilong did not waste time, and took this opportunity to carry the Shadow Killing Technique to start practicing.

Before you know it, it's lunch time, Karachisi came to the room of the two to inform the two, Zilong woke up Qixiang, after lunch, Qixiang clamored to go out for a walk, Zilong thought that he also had to inquire about the blood clotting valley, so the three of them cleaned up and walked out of the hotel.

There was nothing to visit in the deserted streets, and Qi Xiang got tired of walking for a while, and Karachisi proposed beside him: "Your Excellency, there is no one who wants to inquire about the Langxi Tavern, most of the people who go from south to north like to gather there, maybe there will be some gains, and there is also beautiful music and dancing there, presumably Miss Qi Xiang will like it." On top of that, there's also the possibility of meeting my colleague, although it's not very likely. ”

Zilong is more interested in this Langxi Tavern, and the person who can become a top mercenary must be extraordinary, if he can get acquainted, it will be an unexpected gain.

"Karachisi, it seems that you are familiar with the city of Jiajia, and you come here often?" Zilong asked as he made his way towards the Langxi Tavern.

"Your Excellency, I am a servant, in order to do the task, there are few cities in the Lixi Continent that I have not visited, and this is also the proudest thing in my life. ”

Although it is called Langxi Tavern, but in fact, the area of Langxi Tavern is much larger than Zilong imagined, compared to the depression of Liangjia City, it is surprisingly lively here, and I heard a shout before I entered the door.

Stepping into the door of the tavern, I heard a high singing voice, and a man nearly two meters tall on the stage opposite was singing, the singing was inspiring, and the audience shouted and beat the beat.

The arrival of the three Zilong did not attract anyone's attention, their eyes were attracted by the big man on the stage, when the three of Zilong sat down in a corner, there were immediately service personnel to serve, Karachith was most familiar with this place, and asked for a few side dishes. At this time, Dahan's singing had stopped, and earth-shattering applause erupted all around.

As soon as the applause stopped, a wide curtain suddenly fell, and the beautiful music recalled, the gentle music was intoxicating at the moment, the curtain was violently pulled up, and the bright red appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and a fluttering figure rotated on the stage, and when the rotation stopped, the scene remembered a gasping sound.

The evil smile, the vermilion lips, the graceful waving of the jade hand in the air, the peerless dancing posture is refreshing, and the red outfit stimulates people's vision, although it does not expose a trace of skin, but the graceful posture outlined by the tight clothes is reverie.

Charming posture, I believe that most men will not be able to resist the temptation under such a dance, Zilong's eyes turned to Karachith, but found that his eyes were still clear, worthy of being a top maid, and he could still remain calm in such a situation, this is the gap.

"It's beautiful. Qixiang had already been attracted and muttered.

The woman in red twisted her waist and walked off the stage, dancing with the music, flying like butterflies in the crowd, provoking everyone to burst out with a hearty howl, from time to time someone stretched out her hand to take advantage of it, for everyone's actions, the woman in red just smiled. The woman's delicate figure slowly floated towards Zilong's side, causing everyone to shout, only Zilong's table seemed to be gone. Perhaps Zilong's indifference attracted the attention of the woman in red, and her figure floated over in a blink of an eye, circling around Zilong's side, throwing a wink at Zilong from time to time, while Zilong regarded the woman in red as air, concentrating on tasting the delicacies that had just been served by the waiter.

Zilong's behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of the others, and they all scolded him for their incomprehensible feelings, and suddenly, the red lips of the woman in red approached Zilong's ear, and said in a faint voice that was not easy to detect: "Sister Drami is right, you are really a piece of wood. ”

Zilong smiled faintly, his hand did not stop and continued to pick up vegetables, but there were huge waves in his heart, the Imperial God Pavilion actually appeared here, did he follow him? Or did he have another purpose?

The woman in red was still around Zilong, carefully observing Zilong's face, seeing that Zilong was still calm and waveless, she admired Demamiwei's vision in her heart was really accurate, thinking of the task assigned to her above, she was really a little reluctant, it was a pity that such a handsome man would die in his own hands. However, the night ghost guy is not going to show mercy, and this time he has made a big deal of money.

"Boy, are you very lucky?" The people around saw that the beautiful woman was always circling around Zilong's side, and couldn't help but shout with jealousy.

The woman in red showed a charming smile to the people around her, dispelling everyone's dissatisfaction, and at the end of the dance, the woman in red smiled at everyone, then turned around and walked to the stage, when leaving, her affectionate eyes shot at Zilong, and everyone immediately glared at Zilong.

A drunken strong man staggered in front of Zilong, spit out a foul-smelling wine, and said fiercely: "Sure enough, the little white face has a woman's fate, you say, what is the use of a little white face like you, can you fight, can you protect women, and will only rely on women to feed the waste." ”

Zilong listened to Dahan's abuse expressionlessly, and there was no emotion in his calm expression, and suddenly a powerful spiritual power emanated, Dahan was suddenly struck by lightning, his body retreated violently, and cold sweat had appeared on his face. He looked at Zilong in the future, and didn't believe that a little white face had such a strong momentum, and suddenly rushed towards Zilong with a big fist.

When Dahan was about to rush to Zilong's eyes, a young man suddenly rushed over from the side, grabbed Dahan's waving arm, Dahan was easily restrained, he looked at the young man angrily, and when he saw who the other party was, he immediately lowered his head, waiting to be scolded like a child who had done something wrong.

"This gentleman, this brother of mine is too reckless, I will accompany you on his behalf, I hope that Your Excellency will not care about the villain. The young man walked up to Zilong and said politely.

Zilong raised his eyes and looked at this young man, a long talent, short blond hair, brown eyes, a supple white cat lazily lying on his shoulder, the whole body exuded a gentle breath that made people feel like a spring breeze, and it couldn't make people feel annoying. Looking at the young man's move to stop the big man just now, it can be seen that this young man also has some strength.

"It doesn't matter. ”

"My name is Rio Luo, I don't know what your name is, I hope to be friends with you. Rio Luo stretched out his hand and pulled a chair and said, from Zilong's strong spiritual power just now, he had already judged Zilong's strong strength, he didn't understand how such a strong man could run to Jiajia City, could it be that he had the same task as a servant?

"Zilong, we are peers. As Zilong expected, as soon as Zilong's words came out, he saw shock on Rioro's face, and he smiled and explained that this 'son' was not the other 'purple', and Rioro's face recovered.

"Most of the people here are servants, but Mr. Zilong doesn't look like it, he looks like a rich kid who goes out to play, Ning Qi hates the noble young master the most, so he is so rude to Mr. Zilong, in order to make amends to Mr. Zilong, I invite Mr. to have a drink, the sake here is the best in the Lixi Continent, and if you don't drink a glass, it's a trip for nothing. Rioro raised his hand and called the waiter to ask for a few glasses of sake.

"Mr. Rioro is here on a mission?" Zilong asked as he tasted the sake in his glass, well, it was really a good wine, refreshing and pleasant.

"There was an employer whose daughter was sick and needed to be cured by the blue flower in the blood clotting valley. Rioro explained lightly, as if they were just going to an ordinary place.

I didn't expect Rioro's goal to be the Blood Clotting Valley, although the purpose is different, but the direction is the same, to be able to take on such a dangerous mission, and to say it in such a relaxed tone, it can be seen that Rioro is not an ordinary person. Zilong didn't believe that Rioro didn't understand the sinister nature of the Blood Clotting Valley, maybe it would be a good choice to pull him in, the danger of the Blood Clotting Valley and the appearance of the Imperial God Pavilion made Zilong more careful, he didn't want to lose money, one more person would always be more helpful, and it would also make the Imperial God Pavilion have more scruples.

"I heard that there is no entry and exit in the Blood Clotting Valley, and it is dangerous and abnormal, so Mr. Rioro is not afraid of losing his life because of a mission?" Zilong asked seemingly unintentionally.

"The Blood Clotting Valley is indeed very dangerous, otherwise it would not be called a forbidden place, but its most dangerous place is the inner valley, and although the outer valley is also dangerous, it is not worth mentioning compared to the inner valley, I have been there a few times, and I am already quite familiar with it, so I guess this task will not be too difficult. Rioro exudes a strong sense of confidence, and his answer to the question of whether he can get the job done is yes.

Who is Rio Luo, looking at Rio Luo who always has a smile on his face, Zilong secretly thought, even if it is only the outer valley, but after all, it is in the blood clotting valley, how many strong people are buried there, even Karachisi is not so sure, but Rioro is so confident.

Zilong looked at Karachith, who had been silent, and Karachith was staring at Rioro with an inscrutable expression, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Karachith, you should have been staring at it for so long. Rioro suddenly turned his gaze to Karachith and said.

"I thought you didn't recognize me anymore, my honor, our luck is really not enough, please let me introduce you, this is the most outstanding person in the city, the most outstanding mercenary, one of the top mercenary Rio. Karachith stood up and introduced Zilong.

At this time, Rioro was guessing the identity of Zilong, although he and Karachith had only met a few times, but he also knew that Karachith's personality was not as despicable and obscene as the outside world said, Carracis was also a top servant after all, he would not give anything to anyone, and he would not show his true face, but now he treats a young man with such respect, which is really surprising.

"Rioro, we are also going to the Blood Clotting Valley, why don't we go together?" Karachith asked on his own, he knew that the chance of coming back from the Blood Clotting Valley this time was very small, he was not afraid of death, but he had not yet taken revenge, he knew what Kalas was capable of, and if he accompanied him, I believe it would be of great help to them.

"What does Mr. Zilong think? Rioro turned to Zilong and asked, he was very moved by Karachith's proposal, Karachith's poisonous kung fu is unparalleled in the world, and with him there is a lot less trouble.

Zilong immediately saw Karachisi's purpose, and he didn't reveal it, of course it would be better to have one more top mercenary, and it would be even more desirable if he could pull this top mercenary into his team.

The three of them reached a consensus, and they made an appointment to meet the next day before they dispersed, by which time it was already dark outside, and it was another dark night......
