Xiao Mao slumped on the body of the eagle, sending a hint of warmth from the soft feathers on his back.

The thin air at high altitude, extremely low air pressure, and high-speed flight took away most of the heat from Xiao Mao's body.

Bidiao didn't use [Wind Breath Control] to reduce pressure for Xiao Mao, which is also what Tang Ge meant, as an excellent elf trainer, Xiao Mao will inevitably have elves who can take him to fly in his future partners.

And how to better cooperate with his flight partner has become one of his compulsory courses.

At least Charizard, which the little fire dragon eventually evolved, was the obstacle he had to overcome.

However, Xiao Mao does not have such an inhuman physique as Tang Ge after all, the little kid's face is pale and trembling when he is frozen in the sky, and he can persist until now, all with a pride in his heart.

There was no doubt that the eagle was flying faster, and within a few hours, the two of them were able to see the sky from afar, which was different from other cities.

Grey, gloomy, towering chimneys emit pitch-black chemical exhaust fumes, impurities and garbage mixed into the surrounding river, staining the otherwise clear stream with little life.

Accompanied by the pungent smell of nothing, Eevee, who had been held in his arms, had not yet arrived in the Dark City, and the attributes of [Poison] and [Evil] had already begun to activate rapidly.

The rich smell of burnt leather mixed with the choking smell of the compound greeted the two of them, and Tang Ge could feel the strong negative aura emanating from the entire city without landing.

Living in a city like this is never a nice experience.

Without too much fanfare, the eagle landed two kilometers away from the city, and as soon as it reached the ground, the disgusting smell swept over like a tidal wave.

Xiao Mao, who was already in a very poor state, finally couldn't hold back and spit out with a "wow".

Tang Ge naturally withdrew the eagle, looked at Xiao Mao, who vomited on the ground, and did not speak.

He didn't blame Xiao Mao's performance for being so unbearable, in fact, he flew at high speed without hindrance, especially at extremely high altitudes, Xiao Mao did not faint, and his quality was already extremely high.

If Tang Ge didn't have the physique of a [high-level elite] level elf, he wouldn't be able to stand as casually as he did now.

After waiting for a while, it wasn't until Xiao Mao was almost adjusted that Tang Ge took the pale little kid to the city.

"It's a really uncomfortable city... ...... vomiting" Xiao Mao couldn't stop retching while holding his stomach, making his already pale face fade to the last trace of blood.

"Your physique is too poor, and there will be more than this difficult environment in the future," Tang Ge said a few words, paused, and added, "In the future, make your own exercise plan, and I will only be responsible for teaching you to fight." ”

"Oh......" Xiao Mao replied weakly, looking a little depressed.

"Two months, two months later, I'll send you back to Zhenxin Town." Tang Ge continued without looking back.

Xiao Mao didn't speak, just nodded silently.

The two of them suddenly fell silent, and one big and one small quickly entered the dark city in this atmosphere.

......

"Smack!"

Xiao Mao kicked the stones on the street, looked around, frowned tightly, and then tugged Tang Ge's cuffs and spoke quietly, which was quite cautious.

"Master, the people here are all lifeless, and they feel even more terrifying than Ziyuan Town."

Tang Ge silently glanced at everything around, hoping to collect some information, hearing Xiao Mao's words, Tang Ge was silent for a moment, and then spoke softly, "Xiao Mao, you just came, you don't like this city, so think about it, if you live in such a city for more than ten years, or decades, what will you be like?" ”

The 9-year-old kid is innocent, even with Tang Ge's ripening, he can't look at the things he doesn't like with a calm mind.

Following Tang Ge's words, Xiao Mao unconsciously began to reverie, and then shivered coldly.

When he came back to his senses, Xiao Mao looked at the pedestrian's eyes and couldn't help but feel a little pity.

Tang Ge didn't care what Xiao Mao was thinking, but stood in front of the city map sign, carefully looking for his goal.

"The place where the [Steel] attribute energy is strong should be in the steel mill......" Tang Ge thought with some uncertainty.

As a city famous for its heavy industry, the factories in the dark city are destined to be densely distributed and diverse, and most of the residents in this city are workers in various factories, and the development of people's livelihood is extremely uneven, and the economic development is extremely unscientific.

Day after day of repetition and incessant noise filled their lives, and everyone became silent and irritable.

Tang Ge had long understood this negative situation, and because of this, he didn't ask the pedestrians on the road, not to mention, he had always been used to supporting himself.

Soon, Tang Ge found the address of the steel mill on the map, casually stopped a taxi, and the two rushed straight to the destination.

——

"Pass."

In front of the steel mill, an expressionless man stopped Tang Ge and Xiao Mao, and spit out three words without temperature.

Tang Ge was silent for a moment, then pulled Xiao Mao to turn around and leave.

He could no longer return to the sleek mentality he had before, but became cold and hard.

"Master, what should I do?" Xiao Mao raised his head and looked at Tang Ge.

Tang Ge took a deep breath and said in a slow tone, "Since the main gate can't get through, let's sneak in." ”

"Sneak in?"

"Find a place to stay first, you wait for me there."

"Master, do you want to go alone?" Xiao Mao suddenly said anxiously.

"You're too poor." Tang Ge's reply was straightforward.

The little kid's anxious expression froze, and he didn't know what to say, and his expression suddenly fell.

"Damn...... Am I just a dragger......" his fists clenched tightly, Xiao Mao's mood seemed to have knocked over the spice bottle, and the flavors were mixed.

Xiao Mao knew his master's character, and he didn't play any childish temper, just lowered his head and slowly left here.

Tang Ge glanced at Xiao Mao, who was gradually moving away, and his eyes were rare with some expectations.

Xiao Mao is a proud person to the core, he will not allow himself to admit defeat, nor will he allow himself to be depressed, just like when Tang Ge took him into the Changpan Forest for the first time, tribulations and gaps will make him break through himself.

The results of the half-year assessment, Tang Ge didn't say anything, and he knew in his heart that this was too far from what he expected, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was unexpected.

Xiao Mao, who is a cultivator, after Tang Ge gave the direction of progress, can never be the current level, the only explanation is that Xiao Mao himself is slack, and this slackness comes from the satisfaction of himself in his heart.

It is precisely because of this that Tang Ge must make him re-realize the gap between them, even if the words are as sharp as a knife, even if it will leave a shadow on this child who is less than ten years old.

"Work hard, Xiao Mao, you don't have to this extent......" Tang Ge looked at Xiao Mao's back from a distance, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a hint of curvature.
