[157] Return to the city
……
If the small towns that Chen Li saw, the Skywalkers in them all liked to be incognito and be silent guardians, then the Xicheng that Chen Li first came into contact with was just the opposite.
As for Xicheng, from what he had personally experienced, Skywalkers would hardly hide their identities, often using their abilities in public.
From the old man who is about to die, to the babbling child, they all know that there is a magical group like Skywalker, and they maintain respect and even fear for the existence of this kind of group, and there is a kind of fanatical worship of yearning.
Of course, more often than not, the mortals of Xicheng maintain a respectful attitude towards Skywalkers, who are really vulnerable compared to Skywalkers.
For the complex emotions of the mortals in Xicheng, although Chen Li himself will not have too much substitution, he can still understand and experience it.
So when the time comes, he will also cast spells like other Skywalkers, such as when flying, and he will not shy away from the existence of mortals.
But this set is a bit unworkable here, after all, the Skywalkers here are very low-key and hide their true identities.
Anyway, there is a local custom in a place, and in the spirit of following the local customs, Chen Li did not alarm many people from the time he landed in the small town where he settled to the time when he set off on the road again.
Maybe the person with the highest True Element strength in the town could sense his presence?
Chen Li wasn't sure, but he didn't care much about it, after confirming that he had left the scope of the town and entered the wild area, he started the long-lost state of unity of heaven and man.
In this state, he is the fastest to travel, once setting a record of running tens of thousands of kilometers in one night.
As for now, his cultivation has already gone further, and the speed of his journey has naturally increased exponentially, which he realized after he entered this state and flew for a few breaths.
Then, there was a complicated expression on his face, which he didn't know whether to be happy or worried, and his whole body had exceeded the speed of sound by an unknown number of times, and in the blink of an eye, he left behind the large farmland outside the town, and there was no trace at all.
At this rate, I'm afraid it won't take more than half a day to reach Xicheng.
Chen Li's current state is quite magical, and because his divine thoughts are always outward, he can clearly observe the general situation in the air and around his body.
Sometimes, he can sense the presence of monsters in the air, as well as the existence of inexplicable airspace that exudes a strange aura.
In line with the idea that more things are better than less, in this case, Chen Li did not choose to stop because of curiosity, but chose to bypass it far away, and then readjust the direction.
After flying for about an hour, Chen Li had to make a detour in the air no less than ten times, which was still at least three thousand meters in the air, not to mention that there were only a lot of crises on the ground.
Flying and flying, Chen Li suddenly developed great sympathy for the difficulties of the people of this world, and at the same time respected the ruling class of the Great Qianguo where he belonged.
On the domestic territory, there seem to be so many monsters no matter where they are, and they can still build a country, and the territory can still be so big.
And it seems that many human settlements are still self-sufficient, even any small town has a perfect order...... It's amazing.
…………
Hurried all the way over, Chen Li also saw a lot of human towns and cities on the way, as for the villages, he didn't see them, maybe they existed before, but they were banned because of the monsters, right?
This Chen Li can only guess with some experience, and he doesn't dare to guarantee it, anyway, he sees that the smallest settlements exist in the form of small towns, or hide, or do not hide their identities, there are many Skywalkers in the open and in the dark.
This is the true patron saint of those small towns.
In fact, this is normal, after all, the only one who can deal with the extraordinary is the extraordinary, ordinary mortals, even if there are a large number of people, they can't solve very weak weird events when they get together, and it is possible for monsters to pile up with their lives.
Mortals are the existence at the bottom of this alternative food chain, and more often, no matter how large the number is, it will not play a big role, but it is just the weakest existence, but it is very likely to become the bait for monsters or strange events to grow up.
In the process, in addition to encountering strange belts and human settlements, Chen Li also encountered many active humans in the wild.
There are many people who are Skywalkers, but it is not without the existence of mortals, Chen Li can probably guess from looking at the outfits of those people, it is a caravan or passenger team for a long journey, or it is a dart division team.
Chen Li, a team composed of purely high-level Skywalkers, had also encountered it, a high-mobility special operations team dedicated to eliminating monsters and strange events.
Dealing with low-level monsters and weird events, that's called a neat and neat, as for the high-level, it's a bit slow, and sometimes there will be injuries or even damage.
Chen Li helped by the way when he was passing by, and what he did was very simple, that is, when he was passing by, he slowed down a little when he noticed it, and condensed a small fireball combining true yuan and different fires and threw it down.
Along the way, he can be regarded as directly or indirectly saving many people's lives.
More or less relieved him.
But there are also those who can't be saved, so they can only watch them fall here, and Chen Li, an outsider, is a little depressed.
However, although their team members were also sad, they quickly adjusted, and they looked like they were used to it.
Seeing this scene, Chen Li also understood why there were so many people who respected and feared the scene that people with a profession like Skywalker had seen in Xicheng at the beginning.
This is simply a profession in which a group of people exchange their own lives for the lives of more people, and maybe they will give away their lives when they go on a mission.
Compared to the second time, he found that it was better to be in the Xuanling Continent.
Although the lives of the people there are equally difficult, there are no endless monsters and strange events that are crazy about humans all over the world.
Even the demon beasts are gradually going downhill in the years of competition, and more often, it is a battle between the cultivators themselves.
I don't know what I thought, Chen Li's mood was a little heavy, and when he met someone in the wild, he tried to slow down as much as possible every time.
…………
Time always passes without you noticing.
It has been nearly five hours since he set off from that town, and from the beginning of the morning sun to the end of the evening sunset, Chen Li has experienced a lot of things.
Seeing that he was about to arrive in Xicheng, he found that although the journey time was a little less than expected, the degree of fatigue was much higher than expected.
The frequent reorientation of changing positions was only a slight hassle and was quickly resolved.
What's more, he has seen a lot of human tragedies, although he has helped many people solve the trouble with his own strength, but there is always too late to rescue, the number of times is only a little emotional, but the number of times is more, and the accumulated mood is called a unhappy.
People in this world are really having a hard time, and he feels that he should do something.
But after thinking about it, I don't know where to start, what should I do.
This entanglement was with him until he saw the outline of Xicheng, and after seeing Xicheng, he turned his attention back again.
As an experienced old fritter, Chen Li didn't need anyone's guidance this time, so he quietly entered this huge city that couldn't be seen in the air at a glance.
Different from the location of the last time he entered the city, Chen Li made a careful comparison, last time it seemed to be entering the city from the east gate of the west city, but this time it was the city from the city gate in the southwest direction.
But it doesn't matter, they all have returned to Xicheng, so naturally they need to look for Liu Ruyan first.
I have to return my precious daughter to others.
In the shopping stage, listening to Liu Qingfeng's introduction, Chen Li had a rough understanding of the general layout of Xicheng, and he couldn't say it in more detail, but at least he knew where the mansions of the big families were.
It didn't take much effort for Chen Li to find the location of the Liu family's mansion, and to his surprise, it seemed that the Liu family was not in a mess because his eldest lady disappeared.
On the contrary, it is also well organized.
Chen was surprised, but he didn't show it, but opened a trick, took out Liu Qingfeng from the storage bag, hugged him in his arms like a princess, and went straight to Liu Ruyan's study.
According to the introduction that Liu Qingfeng once told him, that study is the office where Liu Qingfeng handles official business, and it is generally the place where Liu Ruyan stays the longest in a day.
Buckle buckle!
Chen Li knocked on the door, his heartbeat pounded faster, and he became inexplicably nervous.
"Come in." A cold female voice came from behind the door.
Chen Li stiffened, wrapped himself in mana, and gently pushed open the door.
Liu Ruyan in the door seemed to be burying her head in front of the case to correct some documents, and Chen Li didn't look up to say hello when he came.
Chen Li didn't speak, just quietly hugged Liu Qingfeng, who seemed to be half-asleep, and stood there without moving.
Liu Ruyan waited for a while and didn't hear what she wanted to hear, she looked up at this time, but her eyes caught Liu Qingfeng who was being held in Chen Li's arms, her pupils contracted suddenly, and the fold she was holding in her hand fell on the case with a click.
After a while, Liu Ruyan looked at Chen Li and Liu Qingfeng in his arms, and a trembling voice came, "Senior, where did you go during the time when you suddenly disappeared after you took Qingfeng shopping?" Why is the breeze the way it is? ”
Chen Li was a little embarrassed...... Am I telling you the truth, saying that it was because we unknowingly wandered into a strange alley, and as a result, she was overshadowed and turned into her current state?
This must not be!
Chen Li thought about it, hesitated, and finally only spit out two words: "I'm sorry." ”
