Three miles south of the city, there is a spacious river, and fishermen can be seen fishing all year round, and crossing this big river is an endless mountain range.

There are many fierce beasts in the mountains, and there are even more demon cultivators in the depths, whether it is an ordinary hunter or a cultivator who wants to practice, they will choose here, which is also the reason why the border city is located on the border, but it is not depressed at all.

The river is hundreds of meters wide and seems calm, but the whirlpools that swirl from time to time on the surface of the river show that there are many undercurrents.

There are many ferries near the riverbank, and if you can't fly, you'll have to rely on boats to cross such a wide river.

There were many people crossing the river, and Gu Chen finally found a boat, but as soon as he got up, a man ran up after him.

Looking at each other, the man smiled innocently and said, "Friend, let's go together, I'm in a hurry to find a friend on the other side, or I'll pay for this trip." ”

As he spoke, the man took out a handful of broken silver, and without looking at much, he stuffed it all into the boatman's hand, and said, "Don't look for it, hurry up and start the boat." ”

The boatman was overjoyed, he glanced at Gu Chen inquiringly, and Gu Chen nodded, "Let's go." ”

Since a boat can seat two people, Gu Chen naturally doesn't care if there is one more person, and he doesn't pay for it, so it feels good.

Gu Chen stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the slowly flowing river, if you look closely, you can see the fat big fish swimming through the water.

"Such a big river, I wonder if it has cultivated a water demon?"

As soon as he had this thought in his heart, Gu Chen couldn't help but laugh at himself, he laughed at himself for being too sensitive, Liu Qiniang just mentioned it, and he was all soldiers, but he did have some concerns about demon cultivation in his heart.

Without him, just because he didn't know anything about demon cultivation, although Gu Chen had heard the word demon cultivation countless times, he had never seen the strength of demon cultivation, and the unknown thing was the most scrupulous.

However, even if he had scruples in his heart, Gu Chen had to face it, after learning about the situation in Lava Valley, he didn't rest, he just said goodbye to Bai Su, and came out before the night came, and this time, he didn't know when he would be able to come back.

After all, his task this time is quite heavy, and it is definitely not so simple to win the right to use Lava Valley from the hands of demon cultivators.

"Friend, dare to drive the tiger into the border city, it seems that the background is not small, report a name." ”

Finally, when the boat came to the middle of the river, the man spoke, and his arrogant expression was the opposite of the honest appearance just now.

Glancing back at the man, Gu Chen said, "You deliberately squeezed into the boat?"

"Oh, nonsense. The man sneered, "Boy, Lao Tzu was eyeing you when he was in the city, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and report your name, who are you?"

Looking at the man's arrogant expression, Gu Chen thought for a moment, "Who is in charge of the border city now?"

The man obviously misunderstood what Gu Chen meant, and he was surprised, "You are Boss Jinlei's subordinate?"

Gu Chen smiled, shook his head and walked in front of the man, "I am embarrassed to kill you with such a refreshing answer." ”

The expression on the man's face was stunned, and before he could understand what was happening, he flew out of the boat, and then smashed into the river with a pop, and the sound of cries for help spread throughout the river in the silent dusk, and then the man's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally even the ripples on the river surface disappeared.

The boatman trembled, did not dare to say a word, and only concentrated on his work as if nothing had happened.

"Who is Jin Lei?"

The boatman swallowed, "Jin Lei is the actual lord of the border city. ”

"The actual city lord?"

"That's right, there is also an honorary city lord in the border city, who was canonized by the Dragon and Tiger Army many years ago, but later Jin Lei occupied the mansion and family property and became a puppet. ”

"I didn't expect to be alive. Gu Chen nodded silently, and then stopped speaking.

In fact, the honorary city lord of the border city knew that it was a person named Li Yiguang, who was canonized by the Dragon and Tiger Army, but after many years, he thought that Li Yiguang had died a long time ago, but he didn't expect that he was still alive, which made him a little surprised.

However, now is not the time for him to meddle in the affairs of the side city, how to obtain the right to use the lava valley is the most important thing for Gu Chen to solve now, besides, even if he has time, he will not meddle in the affairs of the side city, because ...... There is not the slightest benefit.

Under the dark sky, only the sparse moonlight cast, Gu Chen walked alone in the mountains and forests and hurried to the lava valley without hurrying.

He had been thinking about one thing, that is, why did the demon cultivator occupy the lava valley?

If you want to plunder resources, any mountain is more valuable than lava valley, after all, lava valley is endless lava, there is no life at all, a dead land, what is there to occupy?

Unable to understand this question, Gu Chen stopped thinking about it, and when he was in the middle of the moon, after making sure that there was no one around, he directly turned into a demon form, like a violent wind, and ran towards the lava valley.

Lava valley, as the name suggests, is no different from a normal valley if it is not lava flowing in it.

The crimson lava reflected the world like day, and Gu Chen hid in the last forest, his forehead couldn't help but wrinkle.

Nothing?

He clearly remembered that Liu Qiniang had said that the Lava Valley had been occupied by demon cultivators, but when he looked around, he didn't see a single demon cultivator, and not only that, but he didn't smell anything special around here.

"Liu Qiniang is lying to me?"

Listening to the lava valley not far away, there was only the sound of tumbling, Gu Chen pondered for a moment, and then walked out of the forest where he was hiding.

Walking cautiously towards the lava valley step by step, Gu Chen paid attention to the changes around him, while feeling this rich fire element, I don't know if it was the reason for cultivating the fire phoenix style, for this rich fire element, he had an inexplicable desire.

"It seems that Liu Qiniang is lying to me, this lava valley is so quiet, where is there any sign of being occupied by demon cultivators, I actually took it seriously, it's really ridiculous. ”

Looking at the tumbling lava below, Gu Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath, a false alarm, it turned out that there was no such thing as demon cultivation domination, and his mood was relieved, he was just about to find a place to satisfy his body's desires first, but his eyes shrank, and he saw that in the originally quiet lava valley, a lava was spewed out.

The blazing lava went straight to his body, and Gu Chen was clever, and hurriedly jumped out of ten zhang away.

There's something going on in this lava valley!

Gu Chen could be sure that the lava that was sprayed at him just now was definitely not a natural phenomenon, but someone was deliberately spraying him.

Lava Valley was indeed occupied by demon cultivators, and the reason why this demon cultivator was not discovered by Gu Chen was because he was in the lava.

Demon cultivators who can hide in lava...... Gu Chen couldn't help but slap a spirit.

No matter what kind of demon cultivator this demon cultivator is, if you can hide in the lava, Gu Chen will definitely not be an opponent!

Thinking of this, Gu Chen did not hesitate, and walked towards the forest.

"Where are you going?"

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded, Gu Chen was stunned, and then he saw that a bald man appeared behind him at some point.

Mankind!

Gu Chen's face was surprised, because he didn't see a little demon cultivator from the man in front of him, but he couldn't understand, how could a human be appear here?

Don't...... A gang?

The bald man laughed, "I've never seen a demon beast with such a look, and Lord Fire Snake must be eager to taste you." ”

As he spoke, the bald man casually took out a golden chain and said, "Come on, come on, don't delay time, let me lock it obediently." ”

Gu Chen's eyes were unprecedentedly dignified, he knew that this bald man was not crazy, but confident in his own strength, but he was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

The red light in his eyes jumped, like flames, Gu Chen slowly squatted down, and he said in a deep voice, "If you want to lock me, just see if you have this ability." ”

Rumble!

Gu Chen's feet kicked the ground violently, and spiderweb-like cracks spread, and he himself disappeared in an instant.

"King Kong Fist!"

The bald man shouted angrily, and threw a punch at Gu Chen, who was rushing over, and then a golden fist that was magnified and the size of Gu Chen's body appeared.

"Boom!", even though Gu Chen had crossed his arms in front of his chest and defended in time, but under this punch, he still felt as if he had been hit by a mountain, and a mouthful of blood flew upside down.

The five internal organs seemed to be shattered, like a knife stirring pain, his arms were numb, and he lost all consciousness, Gu Chen never expected that he would be so vulnerable in front of this bald man, and even under a punch, he lost all the strength to resist.

In the sight, the bald man appeared, still with a sinister expression, and the big man casually pulled the chains in his hand and said, "You are a little demon who is not a climate, and you dare to shout in front of this adult? ”

As he spoke, the bald man was just about to lock Gu Chen up, when suddenly, there was a bang, and Gu Chen only saw an afterimage of the bald man, and he disappeared, and what appeared in his sight was a long stick of green wood that was still trembling slightly

"Let's go!"

There was a shout, and before Gu Chen could understand what was happening, he found a hairy man carrying himself on his back, and then disappeared here with lightning speed.

The whirring wind sounded in his ears, Gu Chen felt that his vision in front of him was blurred for a while, he knew that this was caused by too fast speed, this speed was at least three or even four times that of him, of course, there was one more point, that is, his current consciousness began to blur, he felt that his body was breaking little by little, and his eyelids were getting heavier and ......heavier.
