Hearing this, Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile, "Young man, you can't help but see the problem too simply, to evolve from third-level combat power to fourth-level combat power, this is not a simple process, it took me several years to complete this step back then, even if you get an essence, it won't take you three or five months, you will never be able to complete this step, I'm afraid that by then, the entire Black Rock City has been completely destroyed!" ”

"It takes so long......" Chen Fan suddenly became distressed.

Now that the Dragon Turtle Spirit has arrived, it is almost a sure thing for Chen Fan to evolve into a fourth-level combat power, but how long it will take to completely refine this energy is still unknown, if it is really like what Yang Jian said, it seems that he will not be able to evolve to that level in the short term, and he will naturally lose the capital to fight against Zhao Huang.

After being silent for a long time, Chen Fan still insisted, "No matter what, I have to go back to Black Rock City, and the conditions promised to me by President Mo Ran are too important, and I will never give up." ”

No matter how fast and strong a person's combat power is, it can't be compared with the overall strength, to help Yunxi City survive that crisis perfectly, it is necessary to cultivate more backbone combat power, this move, Chen Fan is imperative!

"Okay!" Seeing that Chen Fan was so persistent, Yang Jian did not continue to object, but nodded and said, "According to my estimate, this place is probably three or five days away from Black Rock City, on this way, I can help you extract the impurities in the essence first, and then we will talk about it after we go to Black Rock City." ”

After two days of time adjustment, everyone decided to set off again, the pheasant and the demon moon had lost contact, and she had nowhere to go, so she had to follow Chen Fan to set off together, hoping to rush back to Black Rock City first, and then shoot to inquire about the whereabouts of the demon moon.

The journey was very long, in order to avoid being targeted by some mid-to-high-end alien beasts, the two of them could suppress their breath and rush with only their legs, fortunately they had collected enough energy fruits in the secret realm, and with these wild fruits to fill their stomachs, they didn't have to worry about food.

Coupled with the unique energy that these wild fruits are full of, each wild fruit eaten will subtly bring about an increase in ability, so the journey does not seem to be very difficult.

Yang Jian didn't seem to like to stay outside, and soon returned to the depths of the spatial ring, refining the impurities in the spirit for Chen Fan, the original plan was to only take five days to complete this forest, but Chen Fan walked for more than a week, until the huge city appeared at the end of the sight, he stopped his journey, and found a place not far from the official road to sit down and rest.

The pheasant asked him curiously, why didn't he leave? Chen Fan looked at the caravans passing on the official road, and frowned silently, "Something is wrong." ”

"What's wrong?" The pheasant blinked, puzzled.

Chen Fan pointed his finger at the official road, took a deep breath and said, "In the past, the population on the official road would not be so scarce, and the Chamber of Commerce, as the most frequently active force in Black Rock City, has the opportunity to send a large number of caravans out of the city every day to procure, this road, I have walked before, at that time, you could see people from the Chamber of Commerce everywhere on the road, but today, I have not even seen a carriage belonging to a caravan." ”

Everyone who joins the Chamber of Commerce will have a unique badge of the Chamber of Commerce pinned to their chest, so it is very easy to recognize, but Chen Fan has been observing this official road for a long time, but he has never even seen a member of the Chamber of Commerce.

The pheasant's eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother Chen Fan, do you mean, are all the people in the Chamber of Commerce ......?"

"The current situation is unknown, so it's not appropriate to define it for the time being, but it's too ostentatious to enter the city in broad daylight, so let's wait until the night to act!"

Chen Fan was actually quite anxious in his heart, after all, in addition to the Chamber of Commerce in Black Rock City, there were also Lin Xi and Wa Guo and others, these were his friends, and they relied on the protection of the Chamber of Commerce to live in Black Rock City, if Zhao Huang really decided to do it, he would inevitably eradicate the forces of the City Lord Army and the Chamber of Commerce first, and at that time, what should Lin Xi and them do?

Although he was nervous, Chen Fan still calmed down, and first found a place that was not easy to be noticed, and lurked until it was getting dark, and then he took the pheasant to the black city wall.

When he looked outside the city wall, Chen Fan found that the defense here was much tighter than before, and the people guarding the city tower had changed a group, no longer the team led by the city lord's mansion, but another team wearing black armor.

"This old boy, it's so fast!"

Seeing this, Chen Fan had already roughly guessed the cause and effect, presumably since Zhao Huang left the secret realm, he immediately attacked the City Lord's Mansion, and on the way back to Black Rock City by Chen Fan and the others, the city had probably changed hands.

"It's strange, isn't the old city lord also a fourth-level combat power, why was he so easily captured by Zhao Huang?"

Chen Fan was puzzled and muttered silently for a while.

After listening, the Blood Clan Inhumans whispered, "Although the old city lord of Black Rock City is also a fourth-level combat power, his health should not be good, didn't you listen to Mo Ran?" Another purpose for him to retrieve the Elixir Ding was also to help the old city lord heal his injuries. ”

"That's right, I don't know what kind of injury this old man has suffered, and he will live such a mess!"

As soon as Chen Fan's words fell, Yang Jian, who was hiding in the spatial ring, coughed extremely unnaturally, "He was injured because of me." ”

"Huh?"

At this moment, Chen Fan and the Blood Clan Inhumans both widened their eyes, and they both felt a little incredible.

Yang Jian smiled very awkwardly and explained, "Decades ago, when I first entered Black Rock City, there was a conflict with the forces here, and when the city lord of Black Rock City personally sent troops to arrest me, I had a battle with him outside the city, as for the result...... I don't think I'll have to say it. ”

"And that kind of thing?"

Chen Fan felt interesting, and said helplessly, "Senior, that is to say, the old city lord's injury was caused by you, why?" ”

"This ...... Alas, actually, just for a woman! Talking about the past, Yang Jian was a little embarrassed, and was silent for a long time before saying, "You have been to the wasteland, have you ever seen a woman named Wasteland?" ”

"You're talking about the Lord of the Wasteland, the old woman named Wasteland?" Chen Fan's eyes widened and he said incredulously.

"She's not an old woman!" Yang Jian seemed dissatisfied with Chen Fan's description, and suddenly snorted.

"But......" Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh, remembering that before he entered the secret realm, he had a relationship with this desolate lord, wasn't the other party just an aging face?

"Maybe it's disguise, she doesn't really want to show her true face!" The Blood Clan Inhuman reminded lightly, "It's not unusual for anything to happen in the main universe, and it is possible that the Lord of the Wasteland may have appeared to meet us after changing his appearance. ”

Chen Fan suddenly realized, and asked Yang Jian again, "Senior, how did you fight with the old city lord for the sake of the Lord of the Wild Moon back then?" ”
