Chapter 17 The City of Steel
Hua Yan's whistling voice attracted Shi Feng's attention, and he slowly walked towards Hua Yan, smiled and said:
"Brother Huayan, this is something to gain, right? It's really a genius, I don't know anything about the secrets in this ancient sword, I didn't expect you to crack it after studying it for less than one night~"
"There... There..., just a little bit of gain, a little bit of a group... Hey~"
Hua Yan also stood up, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said with a smile.
"I'll give you back this ancient sword, thank you very much!"
Hua Yan said as he returned the bronze ancient sword to Shi Feng.
And after Shi Feng took the bronze ancient sword, he carefully put it away, but he was very shocked in his heart, this young man is really not simple, he really understood the secret of the bronze ancient sword in such a short period of time.
"Brother Shi Feng, it's so late, you can also take a rest, and I'll keep vigil for the rest of the time."
Hua Yan looked at Shi Feng and said.
"That's okay, I've worked hard for you~"
Shi Feng was not polite, cleaned up, and then returned to a tent.
After Hua Yan condensed the "Kun" character text, he felt that his perception was much stronger than before, now it was nearly three hundred meters, and his strength had increased by more than a thousand kilograms, but now the "Kun" character text had just been condensed, and he had not had time to strengthen it, just pale yellow.
Hua Yan believed that as time to gradually strengthen it in the future, the color of the runes would change further.
And what surprised Hua Yan the most was that he found that every time he ran the "Kun" character script, his body cells seemed to be strengthened, although there were not many each time, but this was a way to continue to strengthen the body, and the method of strengthening the body that he had been unable to find before was obtained by such a chance.
The previous "Ze" character text also improved part of his physical strength, but it was a one-time thing, and the later part was mainly healing.
And this time, although the "Kun" character was obtained in the ancient sword, after condensing in his body, he actually had such a strong ability, at this time he couldn't help but think of Liu Haitao, he had never opened the crack of the soul energy barrier, and he couldn't have soul energy, Hua Yan now understands his current loss.
"Kun" character condensation is the only one that does not require soul energy, only material energy is needed, maybe for ordinary people like Liu Haitao, this is a new path, thinking of this, Hua Yan's confidence in fighting against the demon in the future is a little more.
After Shi Feng entered the tent to rest, Hua Yan put on the mechanical armor again, and then picked up his bronze ancient sword and found a stone to sit down.
Everything else was in a metal box attached to the back of the mechanical armor, which contained some giant desolate fruits in addition to food and water, as well as a black sealed iron jar containing brain tissue taken from the strange lake.
Hua Yan is a cautious person, and the mutated beasts or even demon beasts may rush out at any time in the Doomsday Wilderness, and he must keep himself in the best fighting condition.
In general, Hua Yan still has a good impression of Shi Feng, but what makes him a little uneasy is that Shi Feng is likely to belong to the same kind of people as Murong Xuan, they all have runes in their heads, but they don't know the background and relationship between them, so Hua Yan is still more or less wary of Shi Feng.
After sitting on the stone for a while, Hua Yan used his perception to probe the inside ......of the tent and found that Shi Feng had already slept, probably because it was already in the second half of the night, and after a while, a gentle snoring sounded in the tent.
Hua Yan began to use his perception to probe Shi Feng's brain, preparing to trace the "wind" character text, although he was very tired from studying the ancient sword in the middle of the night and constructing the "Kun" character script, but this perfect opportunity to trace the "wind" character text, Hua Yan did not want to miss it.
Before the end of the world, Hua Yan might have felt that it was a bit sneaky and disgraceful to depict the runes in other people's brains like this, but now he doesn't feel guilty about these, after all, every time he improves his strength, he will increase the probability of surviving a little, and he can also protect more people.
With the experience of tracing the "Ze" character script for the first time, the tracing of the "wind" character script this time was a little smoother, but it took a lot of time to construct it in his brain, after all, his current mental power was obviously a little overdrawn.
It wasn't until it was close to dawn that Hua Yan had constructed the "wind" character in his mind, and after the construction, Hua Yan's spirit was so tired that he sat on the stone and fell asleep unconsciously.
After falling asleep, Hua Yan quickly entered a dream, dreaming of his father Hua Zhenyue and his mother Qin Shuhui, and dreaming of the warm ...... more than ten years ago.
"Brother Huayan! Wake up! ”
"Let's go back to the city first and arrange a place for you to sleep well~"
Hua Yan opened his eyes violently and found that Shi Feng was looking at him with a smile and shouting.
"Oh, well!"
Hua Yan was still a little confused, and shook his head a few times to sober himself up.
A few people packed up their things, and Shi Feng's three entourages lifted the body of the dragon-scale demon pig again, and were just about to leave, but Hua Yan suddenly remembered something, stopped, and then said to Shi Feng with some apologies:
"Brother Shi Feng, you go back first, I still have some things to do, I will go to the Steel City to find you in two days~"
"Alright then, you have to be safe!"
Shi Feng was a little surprised, but he didn't force it, and then left with a few entourages.
Hua Yan was also relieved after seeing Shi Feng leave, he had constructed two runes in his brain in a row last night, and the various functions of his body had undergone a lot of changes, and he had not adapted to it yet.
Just now he was about to take a step, when he suddenly thought of this question, he didn't want to expose his secret in front of Shi Feng, so he simply stayed and separated from them, so that he could use a period of time to get used to his body, and by the way, he could explore the use of that "wind" character.
After a period of experimentation and exploration, Hua Yan found that now his soul ability is more than five hundred kilograms, and the strength of his body is four or five thousand kilograms, and when combined with mechanical armor, the strength can reach a terrifying level of five or six thousand kilograms.
What made Hua Yan even more pleased was that after running the "wind" character text, his speed increased several times, and some actions that he didn't dare to imagine before can now be done smoothly.
And now his physical strength has also improved a lot, and the five-move boxing technique he learned from the ancient Egyptian images can basically be used now, even if the last two fists of the Dragon Descending Fist and the Five Dragon Fist are used, the body has not cracked and injured again.
According to his current physical condition, he can learn some new martial arts from those images in the Divine Palace, but now the time is a little tight, and it is not suitable in this wilderness, so he will put this matter aside for the time being.
Another gain is that when he is running the "wind" character script, flying is much easier than before, he used to fly a few kilometers at most, but now his soul energy strength has also increased to more than 500 kilograms, and with the operation of the "wind" character script, there is no problem in flying dozens of kilometers continuously.
And now the loss of soul energy when flying is also seventy or eighty percent less than before, which makes Hua Yan very surprised, it seems that every rune has an extraordinary effect, which also makes him more eager to get other runes, and even longs for "Qian", "Kun", "wind", "thunder", "water" and "fire"
What kind of situation will happen after the eight runes of "Mountain" and "Ze" are gathered.
It had been three days since he was separated from Shi Feng, and Hua Yan was about to go to the Iron City after figuring out the effects of the two newly obtained runes, when the food he was carrying was basically gone, and his stomach began to growl, but these were not a problem for him now.
Hua Yan flew in the air for a kilometer or two, and found a mutant boar, and now this mutant beast has no resistance in his eyes, Hua Yan flew to the side of the mutant beast, and with a casual sword, he disemboweled.
Then Hua Yan made a fire, cut off the leg of a mutated wild boar, and began to roast it on the fire, and after more than half an hour, a wild boar leg with golden roasted skin and dripping grease was ready to eat.
Hua Yan ate a beautiful meal, there was still more than half of a wild boar leg left, he didn't have the habit of wasting food, put away the rest, and then picked up the three or four hundred kilograms of mutated wild boar carcass and hurried all the way to the steel city unhurriedly.
He had the map coordinates sent to him by Zhou Fangzhi, and without much effort, he arrived at the Steel City after more than an hour.
At the first glance of the Steel City, Hua Yan immediately understood why this city was called this name, and the first thing he saw was the nearly 100-meter-high city wall.
The entire city wall is like a rusty maroon, each brick on the city wall is very large, according to Hua Yan's estimate, each brick must weigh four or five tons, in the last days to build such a majestic city, so that Hua Yan can't help but admire the city lord of the steel city, this is the qualified human shelter in the last days!
Hua Yan passed three city walls in a row, the gates of each city wall were guarded by barriers, and he found that the city walls were higher than the other, each city wall was twenty or thirty meters thick, and the innermost city wall was at least one hundred and fifty meters high.
When he arrived at the gate of the third city wall, Hua Yan found that there were five or six hundred people waiting in line to enter the city, most of these people were soul powerhouses, and many of them were wearing all kinds of strange armor and holding various weapons.
It was already evening, and many people were still carrying some prey, it seemed that these people were soul powerhouses who went out hunting, Hua Yan thought to himself.
And Hua Yan, who was wearing mechanical armor and carrying the corpse of a mutated wild boar in his hand, was not conspicuous in the crowd, and in the eyes of others, he was obviously also a hunter who went out.
After waiting for more than an hour, it was finally Hua Yan's turn.
"What's your name?"
When Hua Yan walked up, a person who looked like an officer at the gate of the city was checking one by one, and asked without raising his head at this time.
"Hua Yan!"
"Huh?"
This name may have sounded a little unfamiliar to this officer, and he raised his head and glanced at Hua Yan in surprise.
At this time, Hua Yan also hurriedly took off the helmet of the mechanical armor.
"New here? Soul Adept? ”
The officer asked in a stiff tone.
"Yes, I'm from out of town, and I am indeed a soul powerhouse!"
Hua Yan responded calmly.
