Hua Yan followed Shi Feng to turn around in the dungeon two or three times, walked about two or three kilometers, came to a passage, walked up the steps from the passage for nearly 100 meters, there was an exit, after coming out of the exit, the outside suddenly opened up, and it turned out to be a brightly lit building.

There are a lot of people on the streets, and there are lights everywhere, and from time to time there are singing, noise, and scolding, making people feel as if they have returned to some urban villages before the end of the world.

"It's on the ground, isn't it?"

Hua Yan asked casually, and he seemed to see the outline of the tall city wall in the distance in the blurred night.

"Well, this is the really lively place in the Steel City, it can basically be regarded as a city within a city, and most of the people here are soul power, about fifty or sixty thousand people."

Shi Feng took Hua Yan and said while strolling.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, including blacksmith shops, trading houses, pawnshops, shops, taverns, etc., and even KTVs and dance halls, and the most primitive exchange brothels of mankind are indispensable.

The City of Steel already has a mature monetary system, and prosperous commerce has followed, Hua Yan looked at these shops with interest, thinking that he must come here to have a good time to visit.

"Brother Hua Yan, do you want to go in and have a look?"

Seeing that Hua Yan's interest was quite high, Shi Feng proposed.

"Okay, let's go to the blacksmith shop first."

Hua Yan replied lightly, and then the two of them entered the blacksmith shop.

"Two bosses, see what to order?"

The owner of the blacksmith shop was a middle-aged man with a sturdy figure, a bald head, and a tattoo of a tiger on his chest, and after seeing Hua Yan and Shi Feng come in, he put down the hammer in his hand and asked.

"It's okay, you're busy, just take a look."

Hua Yan nodded at the boss and said with a smile.

There were two young apprentices in the blacksmith shop tinkling and banging.

Hua Yan glanced around the room and saw that there were all kinds of weapons hanging on the walls, including knives, swords, hooks, traps, and so on.

It is more practical for soul powerers to deal with those mutated beasts in the wild, or to use cold weapons, so now the blacksmith shop has become a popular shop, Hua Yan took a cursory look, the blacksmith shop here is much more advanced than the equipment in Hope Town, and there are more types of things to build than there in Hope Town.

"Boss, can I borrow your equipment to build something myself?"

Hua Yan remembered something, then turned his head to look at the blacksmith shop owner and asked.

"No problem!"

The bald boss said in a bold voice.

"I didn't expect this boss to be a good iron striker?"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be~, it's just that my weapon is a bit special, and I need to do it myself."

Hua Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said with an embarrassed smile.

Then Hua Yan and Shi Feng went out of the blacksmith shop together.

"You're going to build your own weapons?"

Shi Feng asked with some curiosity.

"Well, I'm going to forge a sword myself, I don't know where to buy some good or rare materials?"

Hua Yan twisted slightly every day and said, now that he has mastered the secrets of those ancient swords, the bronze ancient sword in his hand is no longer very comfortable, and he wants to build a new weapon by himself.

The matter of warming the soul gold, according to his current soul energy reserves, is much faster than those ancient Huaxia people, and if he uses his soul energy to refine the golden Buddha with all his strength, it may be enough for half a month, so the matter of recasting the sword is also on his agenda.

"Then let's go to the trading house first, better materials or rare materials are generally available there, or wait for the weekend auction, where there are more good things."

Shi Feng nodded slightly, looked at Hua Yan and said. This person who has learned the secrets of the bronze ancient sword in less than a day may have something even more amazing.

The trading house was not too far, and the two walked one or two hundred meters to arrive, and as soon as they entered the door, a beautiful woman in her thirties greeted them.

"Hello two distinguished guests, welcome!"

The woman is dressed in professional clothes, looking concise and capable, speaking a little bit, and her face is a professional smile.

Hua Yan bowed his head slightly to the woman, did not say anything more, and began to look at some of the materials furnished in the room, he saw some strange animal bones, horns, furs, etc., he was a little surprised, and then turned to Shi Feng and asked:

"These things are from demon beasts, right?"

"Hmm~"

Shi Feng nodded and said.

"Now we have come into contact with a lot of demon beast species, and have named and registered them, these monsters are currently the biggest threat to our human race, every additional piece of information is very precious, and the materials on their bodies are also our key research objects, but the price to pay for hunting these demon beasts is too great."

Speaking of this, Shi Feng's face was a little gloomy, now the human race can only retreat in this city, and the vast area outside is occupied by mutant beasts and demon beasts.

And the general soul energy in the human race basically has no power to fight back in the face of those demon beasts, there are often casualties, and occasionally some strong hands can only make a gain, if there is no strong strength improvement, they can only face extinction.

Hua Yan's face was also a little heavy, but he quickly put these pressures aside, looked at the beautiful woman and asked:

"Do you have any metal here that can be used to craft weapons?"

"Yes, sir~ The main materials we have here suitable for building weapons are rhenium-iridium alloy, chromium-nickel alloy, platinum-rhenium alloy, bronze, compressed steel, etc."

The glamorous woman brought Hua Yan to the front of the booth, and while talking, she pointed to Hua Yan one by one to show the samples.

"How many of these materials are there?"

Hua Yan pondered in his heart, then raised his eyes and asked.

"We have about a few hundred kilograms of each rare alloy, bronze and steel, we can supply about 20 tons in a short time, and we can continue to supply if needed."

The glamorous woman looked at Hua Yan and said with some surprise.

Hua Yan lowered his head and thought for a while, he needed these materials very much, but he couldn't transport them back to Hope Town in front of him, so it seemed that he could only find a way later.

According to Hua Yan's idea, he is going to equip all the soul powerhouses in Hope Town with swords with the character "Kun", but the materials to create these swords require a lot of price.

As for the materials for building his own weapons, he is going to go to the auction to take a look, if there is no better one, he will make do with platinum-rhenium alloy first, but these rare alloys must be expensive, and now Hua Yan suddenly found that money has become a problem again.

"Well, I'll come back if I need to!"

Hua Yan nodded to the beautiful woman and said.

"Welcome back!"

Although the business was not done, the woman still said lightly with a professional face.

Then Hua Yan and Shi Feng left the trading house together.

"You're trying to build an army?"

Shi Feng said to Hua Yan with some jokingness.

"I'll just ask~"

Hua Yan said lightly.

Before the end of the world, the predecessor of the Iron City was one of the most important cities in southern China, with developed industry and technology, and some relatively rare resources were relatively easy to obtain here.

Shi Feng didn't dwell on this question anymore, and then said:

"I'll take you to the center of the city."

"Well, let's go."

Hua Yan nodded in response.

The two of them were very fast, and after a while, they arrived at the center of the city, which was a three-way intersection, the intersection of three roads, where Hua Yan saw three relatively tall buildings at a glance, and at night, the lights were still brilliant inside.

One of the buildings is a Gothic building, forty or fifty meters high, and on the top of the building is a statue carved with winged angels holding a sword in his hand, which is also the symbol of the Church of the Alliance of Light and Darkness.

The other building is the temple of the Cult of the Star and Moon, about the same height as the church of the Alliance of Light and Darkness, and a statue of the goddess of the star and moon rises on top of the temple.

The last one is an ordinary building, about seventy or eighty meters high, and there are five large characters in regular script above the main entrance of the building: Hunter's Guild, and at this moment there are still people coming and going in the hall on the first floor of this building, and there are still many people.

"How? Brother Huayan, what do you think? ”

Shi Feng smiled bitterly, looked at Hua Yan and asked.

"It seems that this steel city is not the city lord alone, right?"

Hua Yan pondered for a while and said softly.

"Brother, it's really a little thorough!"

Shi Feng shook his head a little helplessly and said.

"This isn't the place to talk, why don't we go to the tavern and have a drink and talk?"

"Good!"

Hua Yan nodded, but asked with a little doubt:

"Where is your Gu family?"

"Oh, our Gujia Martial Arts Hall is on the edge of the city, but there is an admissions office here."

As Shi Feng spoke, he pointed to a small courtyard next to the guild building, and there was a vertical sign at the entrance of the courtyard that read: Gujia Martial Arts Hall Admissions Office.

If you don't pay attention to it, it's easy to ignore the yard and the signs.

"Oh!"

After seeing that brand, Hua Yan also smiled and shook his head helplessly.

"Let's go, let's drink!"

Shi Feng patted Hua Yan on the shoulder and greeted him.

There are many taverns in the city, Shi Feng took Hua Yan into a small alley, which is a little more secluded, and there is a tavern at the mouth of the alley.

Seeing Shi Feng bring people over, the boss greeted him from afar.

"Young Master Shi, please come in, please come in~"

It seems that Shi Feng is a regular customer here, Hua Yan secretly wondered.

"Are there any quiet private rooms?"

Shi Feng nodded, looked at the boss and asked.

"Young Master Shi, don't worry, the single room has been left for a long time, and it is still an old place."

The boss replied enthusiastically.

"Okay, braised wild boar, stir-fried cactus each have a copy, have you had any good wine recently?"

Shi Feng asked again.

"Recently, I received two boxes of Lao Baigan, and I haven't opened the box yet, Young Master Shi has a try?"

The boss said with a flattering smile.

"Okay, let's have two bottles of Lao Baigan first!"

After Shi Feng finished speaking, he led Hua Yan into the room.

Wine was already a luxury in these last days, fresh vegetables were out of the question, and cacti, a plant that could grow indoors, was now a delicacy.

Shi Feng took him to visit a lot of places tonight, and Hua Yan also gained a lot, and he also had a better understanding of the situation in the Steel City.

Although the city lord of this steel city has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands and has gone through great hardships to build such a magnificent city, he can only survive in the face of the pressure of religious forces such as the Light and Darkness Alliance and the Star Moon God Cult.
