Chapter 153: Reviving the Demon City (1) Childe helps
"Brother Ziteng, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Zi Teng's face was suddenly a little pale, Jia Duo'er on the side asked worriedly.
Approaching the city, everyone had already dismounted their respective mounts, Jia Duo'er's voice attracted everyone's attention, and Bai Zhiqing also hurriedly ran over, grabbed Zi Teng's arm, and looked at Zi Teng with some concern.
"Ziteng Xiaoyou, but what happened to your body?"
As a cultivator, it is rare for Zi Teng to be in this situation, unless he is injured, but Zi Teng can't see any problems with his body, and Uncle Tianjiu also asked with doubts.
"Ah, it's fine. ”
Zi Teng shook his head lightly and waved his hand.
He was also a little puzzled just now, but for some reason, there was a tingling pain in his heart, and this pain was accompanied by an indescribable and unclear meaning, which made him very uncomfortable.
At first, he thought that there was something wrong with his body, but under the secret investigation, everything was normal, and with the self-operation of the Nine Turns Red Flame Technique, his cultivation was also slowly improving.
But why he felt this way, he couldn't say it himself, he only felt that it had something to do with what was about to happen to him.
And this is something that he can't express to anyone else.
Running the exercises, walking in his body, the pain gradually disappeared, he also showed the soft smile of the past, nodded lightly to everyone, as a thank you for their concern for him, and then continued to look at the city that was close at hand.
When looking at it from a distance, the surrounding area of the city seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and when I came closer, I could already see that this must be some kind of formation specially used to drive away demonic beasts, and it can be regarded as a kind of defense of this city.
And this kind of large-scale defensive formation often requires a lot of energy supply, even in the hidden realm of the human race, the cities do not increase the setting.
It can be seen that this Xing Demon City is definitely an extremely wealthy place.
In fact, then again, all the cities of the human race are in the hidden realm, and naturally there is the protection of the hidden realm prohibition, like this kind of city that is completely exposed to the outside world, whether it is for the monsters or other demons, there are all need to have protective measures.
Moreover, the location of this kind of city is indeed much more convenient than the hidden realm of the human race to obtain rich resources.
"Xing Demon City is larger than all the cities in our hidden realm, which is equivalent to the area of our two cities. ”
Seeing that Zi Teng's face recovered, Uncle Tianjiu introduced as he walked: "Although the three races coexist here, there are many other races living here, and there are often some human races who come here, so there are still quite a lot of people here, so it can be said that this is also a harbor for those weaker races to take refuge." ”
"Uncle Tianjiu, you said that this is mainly the coexistence of the three clans, I don't know which three clans?" Zi Teng asked in a loud voice.
"The Flower Clan, the Medicine Clan, the Dwarf Clan. ”
Uncle Tianjiu didn't think that Zi Teng had a deep understanding of the demon race, he just thought that Zi Teng was asking casually, so he also said casually, and continued after speaking: "Since the three city lords of this Xing Demon City are the three peak powerhouses of the Pan Demon Realm of these three races, it is said that this is the coexistence of the three races, but in fact, in addition to these three races, there is also a special existence, that is, the Huoli Clan. ”
"Fire Clan?" Zi Teng said involuntarily.
"Hmm. ”
Uncle Tianjiu just nodded lightly and continued: "Although this Huoli Clan is not among the three clans, since they are the only combat-type race here, their status here can be regarded as transcendent, but relatively speaking, there are fewer people in the clan. ”
"By the way, I heard that the Holy Fire Club was organized by the Huoli Clan. After Uncle Tianjiu finished speaking, he added, because he had been looking ahead, he didn't realize that after he finished saying Huo Li, Zi Teng's eyes lit up.
As for the Flower Clan, the Medicine Clan, and the Dwarf Clan, Zi Teng already knew it after hearing it, and he didn't feel any surprise that these three clans could unite to build a city, because these three clans were not outstanding in terms of combat power, they were purely auxiliary races, and they had always watched over each other.
The flower clan, very similar to the elf race, is purely a matrilineal race, born with a variety of spirit flowers, spirit grass is very compatible, pregnant with flowers and plants, and finally flowers and plants, is the only race on the Demon Soul Continent that can be transformed into a human form from birth, in fact, their body is the spirit flower.
The medicine clan, everyone can refine medicine, extremely sensitive to all kinds of elixirs, similar to the talent of the desolate weapon clan who can be born with refining weapons, but the physique is relatively weak, and the combination with the flower clan can greatly improve the original talent.
The dwarf race, due to the congenital lack of physique, is generally less than one meter tall, but the study of the formation path is incomparable to any race, and a large part of Ziteng's original understanding of the formation path came from this.
The above three races, at the time of the war between humans and demons, were also the objects of abuse by those top demon clans, and they also hurt their foundation because of this, so to speak, they were all victims of the war, and there was a strong resentment towards those top demons.
It's just that due to their innate weak physique, only a very small number of people can cultivate to the level above the Heavenly Demon Realm, so they can only either be attached to other powerful races, or several of the same races can be combined and snuggle up to each other, belonging to one of the weakest races in the Demon Soul Continent.
But when he heard about the Huoli clan, Zi Teng was overjoyed, and he had already confirmed the judgment in his heart.
After Zi Teng fell off the cliff, he was taken to the cave by Bai Yu, and he had already discovered the clues of the Nine Turns of Heavenly Flame, and at the same time, he also knew that there were descendants of the Huoli clan.
"Holy Flame Bless, Eight Hundred Young Sons Ann Heavenly Destiny, Continue the Race"
This can be seen from the words spoken by the priest of the fire tribe.
At that time, he analyzed that the Nine Turns of Heavenly Flame was taken away by the descendants of the Huoli clan, and at this time, it was not difficult to think that the descendants of the Huoli clan had been multiplied in the Xingmo City.
Moreover, after secretly looking at the position display of the Nine Turns of Skyflame on the Skyflame Cup, this was even more certain.
"Hey, what's that doing?"
was about to arrive at the city gate, but Bai Zhiqing asked curiously, Zi Teng looked up, and saw several people coming from different directions under the city gate were stopping there, and one by one they walked up to a round stone platform about two meters in size.
"We will be at the city gate and we will be asked to verify our identity. Uncle Tianjiu said.
"Verify?"
Except for Uncle Tianjiu, the rest of the people had never been to Xing Demon City, so they were all a little curious.
"Hmm. ”
Uncle Tianjiu nodded and said, "Since this is the last home of these remnant races, the inspection of people entering the city is very strict, and this is also to prevent those so-called evil races from mixing in. ”
After speaking, he smiled and said: "This is also a simple inspection of the three races, the Huoli race, and the human race, just need to confirm the identity, if you change to other races, the inspection will be more cumbersome." ”
Hearing this, Zi Teng nodded secretly, it is reasonable for Xing Demon City to do this, after all, there are not many people of all races left, and it is easy to build a place to thrive, how can you not be cautious.
Uncle Tianjiu said, a few people had come to the city gate, and saw that several people from the demon clan who had been inspected before had taken out a demon soul stone and sent it up, Bai Zhiqing couldn't help asking, "Do you also need to pay here?"
"Of course, this is not like our hidden realm, where all the people live in our human race. ”
Uncle Tianjiu nodded and replied, and then pointed to the misty barrier outside the city wall: "Even this city protection array consumes a lot of energy, there must always be some energy sources, although you can't just rely on this city entrance fee to supplement these energy, but it's better than nothing!"
Under the city gate, a group of men and horses were patrolling back and forth, and since there were not many people passing by at this time, there were only two guards in charge of checking their identities.
Seeing that these guards were all red-haired and red-skinned with one yard of color, Zi Teng also knew that the people who were responsible for guarding the city here were all people from the Huoli clan.
"Everyone, please accept the inspection. ”
Seeing Zi Teng and the others approaching, one of the guards hugged his fists and said very politely, and then gestured to the round stone platform on the ground on the side.
"Okay, there's work. ”
Uncle Tianjiu also said politely, and then slowly walked into the round stone platform, and then gently showed the demonic soul power in his body.
"Ah, it turned out to be an adult from the Heavenly Soul Realm. ”
Seeing this, the guard seemed to be taken aback, and hurriedly clasped his fists again and said, this time, he bowed slightly, and continued: "The three city lords have an order, and all the Terran adults who have reached the Heavenly Soul Realm can be exempted from paying the entrance fee. ”
Uncle Tianjiu seemed to have known about this regulation for a long time, put his hands behind his back, smiled and nodded, and then looked at Ziteng and the others.
Seeing this, Zi Teng raised his eyebrows, and was secretly surprised in his heart, knowing that the round stone platform must be from the hands of the dwarf race, not only can he check the identity of the race, but also see the cultivation realm through the release of demon soul power, although this is a chicken rib for the cultivator itself, but if it is used in the defense of the city, it is indeed regarded as an ingenious thing.
After all the people were inspected, they saw that Uncle Tianjiu took out nine more low-grade demon soul stones and handed them to the guard.
According to the introduction of the guard, the entrance fee is charged according to the head, and each person needs to pay a low-grade demon soul stone, while Ziteng and his party of five people and four riders must pay nine yuan.
Zi Teng can know from this that even if it is a mount, it needs to pay for entering the city, and as for Bai Yu, he has received the beast ring before he came to the city gate.
However, there is one thing that makes Zi Teng a little strange, that is, Jia Duo'er's true identity has not been checked out on the round stone platform, and the cultivation shows that it is also the soul realm of the human race.
You know, it's the Soul Transformation Realm, not the Demon Transformation Realm, these are completely different breaths.
According to the judgment of racial breath, the former is exclusive to the human race, and the latter is owned by various ethnic groups in the demon race, which is also the most essential difference between the human race and the demon race.
But Jia Duo'er was found out to be in the Soul Transformation Realm, how could Zi Teng not be surprised, could it be that the royal family of this elf race, after the change, even the breath can become exactly the same as that of the human race?
However, Zi Teng will not say what he thinks after all, Jia Duoer's identity is too coveted, once it leaks, it will definitely bring her endless troubles, so she can only hide this matter in her heart for the time being, and ask her again when she has the opportunity.
For the transformation technique of the elven royal family, Zi Teng is still very interested.
As soon as I passed the city gate, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, no longer the barren appearance, but what came into view was a prosperous scene, all kinds of commercial buildings were lined up, the streets were full of traffic, and the human races and demons of different heights were mixed in one river, which was even more lively than the most lively part of Zhenzhou City.
Since it was already evening, and the flame would not be held until four days later, the group planned to find a post house to stay in.
As the sky gradually darkened, several people also walked along the brightly lit street to a more central street in Xingmo City.
But just as a few people wanted to enter a post house, they saw an extremely delicate woman running over in a hurry, kneeling down in front of Zi Teng, and panting again and again: "Father, son, help!"
