Chapter 18 City!

After the trip to the forest, the people of the Purple King and the two families returned to the camp at the junction of the forest and grassland to recuperate.

Their previous miscalculations resulted in heavy casualties.

After being raided, although they strangled all the demon monkeys, their own losses could not be ignored. Not to mention the loss of manpower, just the fact that everyone was injured made it difficult for them to walk an inch in the fairy garden.

Helplessly, they could only temporarily stick to this dilapidated village to recuperate, and wait until their injuries healed before going on to explore other things. Fortunately, the demon monkeys in the forest have almost been killed, and the wolves on the grassland will not leave the grassland easily, and they are still very safe here.

In the forest, Gu Lang was alone and shirtless, sweating, and the surface of a tree stump in front of him was layered, which had been cut like a flower by the short knife in Gu Lang's hand.

Since the last time they were ambushed and attacked by demon beasts, the people of the Purple King and the two families have already had a slight psychological shadow on this forest, even if they take firewood to light the bonfire, they only cut down a tree at the edge of the outermost forest. So at this time, Gu Lang was practicing knives in the forest, and almost no one would disturb him.

Of course, nothing is absolute.

There will always be a bored girl who will bother Gu Lang when she has nothing to do.

After a few days of recuperation, Gu Lang's injuries have healed, but his left arm is still a little unfavorable, and he is still sore after a little exertion. The six-gibbon monkey's blow was powerful and heavy, and Gu Lang was already very fortunate to be able to recover like this in a short period of time.

Besides, just an injury to one arm did not delay Gu Lang's knife practice.

A right arm, still a tiger that can wield the short knife.

"Drink!"

Gu Lang snorted lightly, and the short knife slashed down from the top of his head, kicking up the wind and dust, and at this moment, Gu Lang's skin and flesh were trembling. The sweat that was flowing on Gu Lang's back seemed to be flowing on a tight drum surface, and when he was hit hard by the drumstick, he jumped up one after another.

The pitch-black knife slashed through the center of the stump, which was only the thickness of a finger, and when it was about to separate all the sticks, the short knife stopped abruptly.

On top of that stump, the edges were layered on top of each other, all of which were like this. The entire stump is only connected by strands. And around this stump, there were several more tree stumps, and those stumps were either chopped down like flowers, or they were split in half by Gu Lang with an uncontrollable knife, and most of them were the latter.

Gu Lang swung his sword, without using aura, it was completely the power of the flesh. When the whole body is exhausted, it can still be controlled by a millimeter. Every time you stop the knife, it takes more energy than it does when you swing it.

The tiredness of the body stimulates the body's accelerated absorption of aura.

Splitting this stump like this, the strength on Gu Lang's body has been almost consumed, but the growth of the aura in the meridians is also gratifying.

Gu Lang let out a sigh, put away the short knife, and wiped the sweat from his face.

"Okay, yes! It's the first time I've seen a young man who can make a knife look like this. You can swing a knife with one hand to the point where you can swing your arm, and even if you don't practice the knife in a short time, I'm afraid no one will be able to catch up with you. ”

The purple-clothed girl walked to Gu Lang's side and praised loudly, as if she had seen Gu Lang practicing knives for the first time.

Gu Lang put on his clothes and said with a smile: "Practicing the sword, how can there be a time to slack off? It's not just a way to practice the sword, it's the same for every cultivator, this time if you slack off, I'm afraid there will be no room for regret the next time you fight with others." ”

Zi Su Jiao smiled and said, "Don't you know that there is such a thing as a genius? Even if you don't need to work hard to cultivate, the progress you have made is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Miss Ben is such a genius. ”

Gu Lang smiled: "I know, but I don't think I'm a genius, I can only work harder to avoid being left too far by a genius like you." ”

Zi Su held his forehead and said helplessly: "I'm afraid you're not stupid to practice knives!" Your Gu family outside the fairy garden has not seen you so attentive, although hard, but only a few people, most people are only three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, three days can practice knives for one day is already considered to be attentive, how can you hold the knife all day long. ”

Gu Lang frowned and muttered, "Have the people of the Gu family slacked off to this point?"

Zi Su slapped Gu Lang on the shoulder and said, "What a slack! Combining work and rest is the right way! Let's go, I'll take you to 'Yi'!"

Without waiting for Gu Lang to say anything, she pulled Gu Lang in the direction away from the camp.

Gu Lang originally thought that Zi Su was just taking him to a place not far away, so he let her pull him forward. But after walking for more than half an hour, she didn't see any tendency to stop.

Gu Lang stopped and asked, "Where are you taking me?"

The purple-clothed girl forcibly pulled Gu Lang forward again, and replied without looking back: "Didn't you say, go to the place where you 'Yi'." ”

Gu Lang said helplessly: "You said where to 'Yi', it's good for me to be a little mentally prepared." ”

Zi Su looked left and right, and felt that no one around could hear her conversation with Gu Lang, so she said in a low voice: "I told you, you can't tell anyone else!"

Gu Lang nodded.

The girl in purple knew that no one would hear it, but she still leaned into Gu Lang's ear and said in a low voice: "Haven't I often gone out to play these days? ”

Gu Lang nodded again, Zi Su is a person who can't be idle, and the two families of Ziwang are hiding in the camp to rest, and they don't even dare to enter the forest, which makes her depressed. However, Zi Zhengchun did not restrict Zisu's movements, so in addition to disturbing Gu Lang's knife practice every day, she ran away without a trace, and she didn't know where to play.

"Did you find anything?" asked Gu Lang.

The girl in purple nodded, and said with a mysterious smile: "You must not have imagined what I found, I found a small city! There are many people in it." ”

After speaking, Zi Su patted Gu Lang's shoulder again and smiled: "You are still an aborigine, you have lived here for so many years, and you don't even know that there is a city here." ”

Gu Lang calmed down a little, although he didn't expect Zisu to find a city, but there were quite a lot of aborigines in the Immortal Garden, and it was reasonable to build some cities to defend against demon beasts. Moreover, those who enter the fairy garden from the Ten Thousand Worlds will also build some cities after gaining a foothold, but they don't know which kind of Shiso is found.

"I'm alone, and my strength is weak, so naturally I don't dare to explore everywhere, and it makes sense that I don't know that there is a city. Gu Lang replied.

Zi Su said with a smile: "If you don't know, you don't know, it's nothing anyway." Hee-hee, the last time I found that city, I didn't dare to go in to see it, this time I will take you with me to see it. I'm mean enough for you!"

Gu Lang shook his head and said, "When I meet a city, I feel that I still have to talk to your family elder, it may be safer to have him by my side." ”

Although many cities in the Immortal Garden have good intentions towards cultivators, there are also some extremely exclusive existences, if it is some huge cities, it is fine, don't worry too much. If it is a small city in the middle of nowhere, you should be careful, as approaching it is likely to lead to death.

"Tell Zi Zhengchun, what's so fun about that!" Zi Su pouted and forcibly pulled Gu Lang on.

"Let's go, let's wait until we go and see!"

Gu Lang was helpless, he could only hope that what Zi Su found was a city that was not exclusive, and he didn't want to be chased and killed by a group of people as soon as he saw that city.

The two of them walked for a long time, and kept moving along the junction of the grassland and the forest, but because Shiso couldn't remember the direction clearly, only remembered that the city was on the edge of the forest, so they had to look for it like this.

After walking for nearly two hours, the outline of the city finally appeared in their field of vision.

Zi Su originally wanted to swagger over directly, but Gu Lang was more vigilant, pulling her into the edge of the forest, leaning on the trees and moving forward slowly.

Getting closer, Gu Lang found that the walls of the city were full of vines, and the city walls were also extremely old, obviously not a newly built city. Moreover, the scale of the city is not large, and if it were not blocked by the city wall, I am afraid it would not be much larger than a slightly larger village.

Beneath the city walls, there is a gate of the same age.

At this time, the city gate was wide open, and two adult men stood outside the city gate, holding weapons on duty with lazy faces.

The area of this small town is not large, but there are many people who come and go.

A small road outside the city stretches into the sky, with no end in sight. It is not that someone has come to enter the city by his own end, or to come out of the city to the end.

Shisu's body was hidden behind a tree, but her head poked out, "No wonder we can't see a single figure over there, it turns out that we are all concentrated here." ”

Gu Lang said with a smile: "There may be dangers everywhere in the Immortal Garden, and it is normal for these people to gather together. If you want to blame, you can only blame it for your bad luck and not finding the right place. ”

Zi Su jumped out and said, "Now it seems that this city should be safe, let's go in and have a look!"

Gu Lang nodded, he didn't find any threat, so he let Zi Su pull him towards the city.

After approaching, Gu Lang found that although the city wall was old, there was a whole boulder under the vine, and although it was old, its defensive power had not diminished at all. It's no wonder that this small city can exist for such a long time, and it can't break through this wall compared to the invasion of demon beasts.

Along the way, there were gradually more people around Gu Lang Zisu.

The men were dressed in a variety of clothes, some in green shirts, others in clothes sewn from animal skins, and their hair was just scattered haphazardly. Some of them carried long swords and were graceful, while others were carrying a heavy mixed iron stick, like wild men coming out of the mountains.

These people, without exception, all walked towards the city.

Gu Lang Zisu walked towards the city gate with the main stream, Gu Lang saw that the people walking in front would hand over some items to the city gate guards before entering the city, sometimes it was a low-level demon crystal, sometimes it was an unnamed elixir, and some people would take out a gray stone and hand it to the guard. The guard didn't care, and put it in a storage ring.

Gu Lang said to the purple-clothed girl: "Those two low-level demon crystals come out!"

"Why?" Shiso wondered.

Gu Lang pointed to the city gate guard in front of him and said, "The entrance fee to the city!"

"Oh!"

Zi Su took out two low-grade demon crystals with rough surfaces and gave them to Gu Lang, and when the two of them entered the city gate, Gu Lang handed them over to the guard.

"No fights after entering the city!"

The guard on the right took the demon crystal, said a word casually, and then ignored the two of them.

Zi Su smiled and pulled Gu Lang to walk quickly into the city.
