Chapter 498: The strong dragon does not suppress the earth-headed snake
Xu Ning was woken up by Yan Bing, and when he opened his eyes, the bonfire had been completely extinguished, and it was cold all around. The east is a white color of fish belly, and the surrounding light can clearly see the mountains in the distance.
However, as soon as Xu Ning opened his eyes, he felt a cold sweat break out all over his body! How did I fall asleep! It's impossible!
He nervously glanced at the other side and jumped to his feet!
It's gone! Mu Xuefeng's resting place is empty, not to mention people, not to mention carrying baskets, the ground is clean, there is not even a trace!
"Brother Xu Ning, what are you looking for?" Yan Bing asked strangely, yawning.
"This ...... Have you ever been injured! Xu Ning hugged Yan Bing's shoulders anxiously, checking up and down, left and right, Yan Bing felt very strange, especially when Xu Ning groped all over his body, his face turned red all of a sudden.
"Brother Xu Ning, don't ...... Early in the morning, what's wrong with you? β
Xu Ning was so anxious that he couldn't care about it so much, but after checking it, he didn't find anything abnormal, so he remembered himself, and quickly stretched his arms and sleeves to see if there was anything special on his body.
If someone secretly sets a seal or vein, then it's troublesome!
After checking for a circle, there was nothing, and after running the power of the martial vein, there was nothing unusual.
"Brother Xu Ning, what happened?" Seeing that Xu Ning was so nervous, Yan Bing also became nervous.
"Yan Bing, when you woke up, did you see anything unusual?" Xu Ning hesitated and asked.
"Unusual? No, when I woke up, I saw you sitting in front of the campfire and falling asleep. When it is daylight, it will call you up. β
"Isn't there anyone else?"
"Someone else? It's just the three of us here, and there's no one else. Yan Bing's expression became very nervous, she didn't know what happened last night.
"That's weird! Could it be that I'm dreaming! β
The more Xu Ning thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became! I was obviously sitting here to cultivate, and although my breath was weakened a little, my reflection was very sensitive, how could I fall asleep? This has never happened! And that Mu Xuefeng, if he left on his own, he wouldn't be able to alarm me. The Cheng dΓΉ of skill cultivation is definitely not inferior to himself.
Heartbeat! That's right. It's a heartbeat!
Xu Ning recalled the scene when he saw Mu Xuefeng yesterday, a big living person, his heartbeat was weak as if he was a dead person, could it be that he was controlled by him last night with some strange soul control technique? This is also not true. If that's the case. It was too easy for him to kill himself. Why is it so easy to disappear?
I checked what I had on my body and it wasn't missing.
Could it be that what happened last night was all my dreaming!
Wrong. Wrong! Xu Ning suddenly remembered something, he began to look around, and sure enough, he found something in the bonfire, which was the wine bottle he gave to Mu Xuefeng last night!
The bottle was originally white, but now it has been burned to a pitch black, almost like ashes, and you really can't find it if you don't look for it carefully. Xu Ning nodded, he wasn't dreaming, everything that happened yesterday was true.
"I really didn't expect that I was put on a position before I entered the Trilateral City, what does this mean, warn me not to rush in? Hum! Xu Ning thought to himself, and his face showed a terrifying killing intent.
"Brother Xu Ning, you're dying of me, what the hell happened!" Yan Bing asked anxiously.
"It's nothing, it looks like I drank too much yesterday and had a nightmare." Xu Ning raised the black wine bottle in his hand and said, "Look, throw the wine bottle into the bonfire." β
"You're scared me to death!"
"Okay, it's okay, wake up vigorously, let's go to Trilateral City for breakfast!"
In fact, there is no need to shout, when he heard the words "eat breakfast", he was already scared from the ground, and his eyes flashed with a strange brilliance. Xu Ning and Yan Bing smiled helplessly, packed up their things, and walked quickly along the road.
It was like a spring and summer scenery here, and before they knew it, they had reached a position close to the border of the Dongzhou Empire. Xu Ning remembered very well that Mu Xuefeng said that if he turned over the mountain peak in front of him, it would be a three-sided city.
Boy, you are waiting for me, I am meeting you in Trilateral City, I must teach you a good lesson!
Xu Ning didn't know why he was so atmospheric, it seemed that strangers still couldn't believe it, this kind of silent practice was really weirder than fighting with people.
In less than an hour, a huge city appeared in front of me!
All three gasped!
Is this a city? It's a small empire!
The so-called "over the mountains" is a three-sided city, which is not false at all, because under this mountain, some buildings have appeared one after another. These buildings are not the kind of tea stalls and wild shops outside the city, at least they are all stone and wood structures, although they are not very luxurious, but they also show a good texture.
The street made up of the building is very smooth, and it spreads into the distance, and it is estimated that you will be at the gate of the trilateral city when you go down. As you look along the road, the buildings get taller and taller, with the tallest building obscuring what is behind it, as if it were a giant tower.
A large flock of birds circled around the tower-like building like locusts, and the rising sun gave people a sense of infinite expansion.
"This place is too big!" Yan Bing muttered.
"I didn't expect that there was a place in the Dongzhou Empire that was larger than the imperial capital!"
"Have you ever been to the imperial capital?" Yan Bing asked.
"Nope."
"And how do you know?" Yan Bing couldn't help but laugh.
"I guess, my father once said that many places there are not open to the public, because the royal family of Dongzhou lives there. The second is the residence of many officials, and there are many soldiers guarding the periphery for dozens of miles. β
Yan Bing nodded and said, "I've heard of it too." But the three-sided city in front of him seems to be unattended. β
Xu Ning smiled and said, "No." You are wrong, the more free it seems, in fact, the more rules there are, the stronger the power behind the control of zhΓ¬, so powerful that there is no need to send someone to monitor Cheng DΓΉ. People consciously obey it, and they must be afraid of this power! β
He poked the ground with the mace in his hand and said, "Have you two finished discussing?" I seem to smell the smell of stew. β
"Let's go, I'm a little hungry too!" Xu Ning patted his stomach and said.
Beyond the mountains, the slope of the road increases significantly, and the entire castle is actually located in the basin of a large mountain. Xu Ning turned to look at the mountain pass. It's really a bit of a one-man affair. You don't have to go far, and the road under your feet becomes a paved stone path, and although it is very irregular, it is noticeably different to walk on it.
The shops on both sides are nestled in the woods. It's a bit natural. People cut out a forest at will. It was renovated into an empty space, and then the store was opened. It is at least ten miles away from the city gate in the distance, and the further you go, the denser the shops become. At this time, every shop has already opened, and many people are sitting in front of the door.
"It seems that there are not only outsiders who eat, but also a lot of people who come out of it!"
Xu Ning pointed to the front, and the people who came over were black, constantly going in and out of the store.
"It's so bustling here, and I'm still wondering how there can be so many guests!" Yan Bing said in surprise.
"Hmph, I guess it has something to do with that tournament!"
With that, the three of them walked outside a small liquor store and picked up a place to sit down.
There are relatively few people in this house, and the environment is also very elegant, which really doesn't look like the kind of wild tea stall outside the city
As soon as Xu Ning and the others sat down, there were two tables of people eating around them who stopped their chopsticks and looked at them with slanted eyes. Dali didn't notice, looking at the steaming cauldron, eager to eat quickly.
"Brother Xu Ning, have you seen it? These people seem to be staring at us. β
"It's normal, we're all fresh faces, plus Dali's brainless personality, it's strange that people don't notice!" Xu Ning had already noticed it, and said in a low voice: "The strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, let's leave after eating, I don't want to cause trouble." β
Yan Bing nodded, and scolded in a low voice for the strength of looking around, and he immediately became honest.
As soon as he saw the customer come to the door, the shopkeeper immediately walked out of the room, but when he walked to the table and looked, he was also stunned.
"Boss, just serve something to eat, we don't have much time." Xu Ning said with a slight smile.
"Have meat!" vigorously added.
Who knew that the boss didn't prepare immediately, but pretended to wipe the table, and said in a cold voice: "Three, don't ask why, if you want to live, leave quickly!" Where did you come from, hurry back! β
Xu Ning and Yan Bing were stunned for a moment, looking at the shopkeeper's eyes, it didn't look like they were joking with themselves.
"What do you mean, owner?" Xu Ning also lowered his voice and said.
"Don't ask why, as soon as you sit down, time is running out! Let's go! β
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back, and Xu Ning and Yan Bing sat there in confusion.
"Smack!"
When the owner went back, he closed the door! Xu Ning looked up and saw that the two tables of guests around him had already turned around and looked at him with ill will, and the people from other stores around him were also slowly surrounding, adding up to about 100 people.
"Brother Xu Ning, what's going on?"
"I don't know, it seems that the boss has no malicious intentions, but he reminded him too late, and we can't leave even if we want to." Xu Ning said coldly.
Dali originally looked at the steamer with his eyes open, fantasizing about the big meat buns, but he didn't expect the shopkeeper to bring out anything, but he hid instead. The stupid big man's bad temper came up, stood up suddenly, and slapped the table with his big hand!
"Smack!"
"If you open a store, you can't do business yet!"
With a vigorous roar, he didn't shout out the buns, but instead shouted out more than a hundred swords!
The people gathered around showed their murder weapons one after another, and gathered around little by little.
Xu Ning was also confused, grabbed the chopsticks on the table with one hand, and motioned to sit down vigorously. (To be continued......)
