There were only three people in the tent, Zhao Jun, Zhao Letian and Chen Fan, and after everyone sat down, Zhao Jun went straight to the point.

Zhao Jun's face was straight, he stood up and saluted Chen Fan first, and said, "Brother Chen, first of all, I want to thank you for what happened today, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would all be lucky today." ”

Chen Fan also stood up and returned the salute, and said: "The hall master doesn't have to be polite, I am also responsible for what happened today, there are a group of people who are coming for me, and it is my duty to solve them." ”

Seeing that Zhao Jun was about to say kind words, Chen Fan waved his hand to stop him, and said, "Hall Master Zhao, we don't need to say kind words anymore, let's talk about what happened today." ”

"Okay, I'll tell you about my analysis. Zhao Jun nodded in agreement and continued: "There are three groups of people who came today, and the first batch is two people, which attracted a large number of fierce beasts and two strange beasts to attack us, for unknown reasons. ”

Chen Fan said secretly in his heart, you don't understand, but I understand. The two men in black who had escaped had been captured by the Moon Boundless they had sent and tortured about their origins. Unexpectedly, they were actually in the same group as the black-clothed envoy with the mask, but they did not belong to the black-clothed envoy's organization, but were hired by them to harm the Zhao family, and they couldn't get any useful information from their mouths.

"The second group is the people who came to seek revenge on Brother Chen. Zhao Jun didn't know what Chen Fan was thinking, so he continued: "The identities of this group of people have been found out, and they are actually from one of the seven bandit groups, the Scorching Sun Bandit Group. ”

Seeing Zhao Jun's solemn expression, Chen Fan couldn't help asking, "Is this Scorching Sun Thieves very powerful?"

Zhao Jun's expression was serious, with a worried look in his eyes, and he said in a condensed voice: "Very powerful, among the several major bandit groups around, the strength of each of them will not be weaker than our three major families, and the strength of several thief groups has surpassed our Zhao family, and the Scorching Sun Thieves Group is one of them." ”

"Do you know who the man in black who came to you to avenge the murder of his son?" Seeing Chen Fan looking at him suspiciously, Zhao Juncai continued: "He is Ma Rong, the master of the Iron Fist in Los Angeles, and he is also the hall master of the Scorching Sun Thieves Group in Los Angeles, and he usually appears in front of the world as the master of the Iron Fist Gate to hide his true face. ”

Chen Fan understood, no wonder when he went to the Lin family to participate in the competition that day, he would find out that there was a murderous aura against him from the Iron Fist Gate, it turned out that it was because he killed Ma Rong's son, so he showed his murderous intentions to himself.

"Those people in the remaining thieves group, I have already asked people to deal with them all, the headquarters of the scorching sun thieves group should not receive the news in a short time, as long as we arrive in the imperial city safely, we can tell the family master and let the family master deal with this matter." At the critical moment, Zhao Jun showed his ruthless side, and he would never be soft when it was time to kill.

Chen Fan asked in a word: "What is the specific strength of the Scorching Sun Thieves Group?"

"The leader of the Scorching Sun Thieves Regiment, Lieri, is not sure of his true strength, but he will definitely not be lower than the Earth Hell Realm. In addition, there are two deputy heads who have reached the Earth Evil Realm, and the rest have a few hall masters who are about to reach the Earth Evil Realm, and there are dozens of other Innate Realm masters, but the specific situation is not clear. After speaking, Zhao Jun smiled bitterly and continued: "If they receive the news and send a few deputy regiment commanders over at that time, then only you can resist, and we are afraid that we will all be wiped out." ”

As Zhao Jun spoke, he looked at Chen Fan again, and stopped talking.

Chen Fan smiled in his heart and said, "Do you want to ask me about the situation of the sect?"

"Uh, haha, yes, I don't know if it's convenient to tell me?" Zhao Jun smiled a little embarrassedly, the terrifying power that Chen Fan showed today made his evaluation of Chen Fan greatly improved, he originally thought that Chen Fan was just a genius from a hidden family, who came out to practice, but judging from the Chen Fan who appeared today, Chen Fan's origin is not simple.

It turned out that Chen Fan had already shocked him by having Yue Wuya, a master of the Earth Hell Realm, as his entourage, but today, after seeing the true strength that Chen Fan showed, his mood could no longer be described as shock, and the whole person was scared silly.

What sect does this Chen Fan come from? The strength of this sect is too strong, just one Chen Fan has already suppressed all the strong people of the three major families, if another senior brother comes out, and even his master comes out, who else will be able to contend with it? In the southern part of Zhongzhou, I am afraid that only the Adventurer Association can compete with it.

As soon as Zhao Jun's words fell, Chen Fan cut off his desire to continue to investigate: "I'm sorry, this is a secret of this sect, and it is inconvenient to tell you without the permission of the master." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I understand, I was reckless, I should apologize to you. Zhao Jun replied repeatedly: "No matter what, you are now a member of our Zhao family, no matter what your background is, our attitude towards you will not change." ”

Chen Fan nodded and did not speak.

"Let's get back to the topic. Zhao Jun didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, so he changed the topic and said: "We don't know the origin of the third group of people, but we took a look at the weapons they used, all of which were swords and spears used in the army, and judging from their well-trained equestrian skills, I suspect that they are from the army." ”

Zhao Letian interjected next to him and said: "We suspect that they were sent by He Yu, the lord of Los Angeles, and he has always suspected that it was our Zhao family who arrested Wang Xian, but there is no evidence and he doesn't dare to say anything, this time he may be here to retaliate." ”

Chen Fan frowned and asked, "Does he dare to deal with the Zhao family blatantly?"

Zhao Jun replied: "He didn't dare, so now these people are not wearing armor, but only bringing weapons, even if we catch these people, he can deny it, we have no evidence to prove that these people were sent by him." ”

Chen Fan lowered his head and pondered, he felt that things were a little complicated. Wang Xian and the Liu family's father and son are related to the black-clothed envoy, and it should be a subordinate relationship, and now He Yu may have a relationship with the black-clothed envoy, doesn't that mean that the garrison of Los Angeles is actually equivalent to the black-clothed envoy's minions.

I didn't expect that the dignified city lord of Los Angeles was actually hooked up by the forces behind the black-clothed messenger, he really has great powers, I don't know if there are similar situations in other places?

Chen Fan thought about it for a while, but he still couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it, no matter who they were or what they wanted to do, as long as they were against themselves, then they would be enemies and they would be destroyed.

The three of them discussed for a while, and then Chen Fan retreated.

The next day, they continued to hurry, and walked smoothly for half a day, after which they came to a small city around the imperial city - Nanyang City, a large city with a population of 600,000, which was less than that of Los Angeles.

There is also a station of the Zhao family in Nanyang City, and similarly, the Zhao family also has the right to recruit in this city, but it does not occupy the most dominant position, here, the Lin family is the strongest family.

Zhao Jun planned to rest in Nanyang City for one night, leave the injured Zhao family warriors here to recuperate, re-select some warriors here to join the escort team, and then take the elite personnel recruited here to report to the Imperial City together.

After everyone settled down, Xu Yuan took Hu Feng to find Chen Fan and asked him if he was interested in going out for a walk together.

Chen Fan thought about it carefully, in Nanyang City, there shouldn't be much danger, and he himself was a little bored, so it was good to go out for a walk, so he agreed.

Luo Qingyun had been on the road for so many days, and he was a little tired, so he didn't follow, so Chen Fan only took Yue Wuya alone when he went out this time.

Xu Yuan took Chen Fan to the front of an armory shop, Chen Fan looked up and saw that the Divine Soldier - Nanyang City Branch turned out to be the branch of the weapons store to which Xu Yuan belonged, and he didn't know what he was doing here.

Xu Yuan showed the token to a person dressed as a shopkeeper, and then whispered a few words, and the shopkeeper immediately invited Xu Yuan to come in and talk with a smile on his face.

Xu Yuan greeted Chen Fan and asked him to follow him.

Chen Fan followed Xu Yuan to a small living room inside, and the shopkeeper asked Xu Yuan and the others to sit down and wait for a while, and then walked out by himself. Soon the shopkeeper walked in again, holding a stone box in his hand.

The shopkeeper respectfully picked up the stone box with both hands, handed it to Xu Yuan, and said with a smile on his face: "Master Xu, this is the bluestone you want, I only bought thirty-two, if it is not enough, I can also collect some more." ”

Xu Yuan took the stone box and said with a smile: "That's enough, but you should continue to collect some and come back for later use, no more, let's collect twenty pieces back first." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Okay, Master Xu, I'll do it in a while, please see if these bluestones meet the requirements first?"

Xu Yuan nodded, put the stone box in his hand on the table, and picked up the stone cover.

As soon as the lid was opened, a stream of heat poured out of the box, and the temperature around the stone box suddenly rose, and after a while, it slowly subsided.

Chen Fan looked at the bluestone in the stone box with a little curiosity, and saw that it was a thumb-sized stone that faintly emitted red light, roughly round, but irregular, the surface was undulating, if it was not for the red light to shine through, it was no different from ordinary stones, and it was still emitting heat at this time.

Looking at Chen Fan's puzzled eyes, Xu Yuan smiled and said, "Do you really want to know what I want these bluestones for?" Then I'll talk about it, in fact, it has something to do with you." ”

Looking at Chen Fan's even more puzzled eyes, Xu Yuan continued: "Yes, it has something to do with you, because this bluestone is also the key to refining divine weapons. ”

"Because to melt the magnetic ore, it requires a very high temperature, which cannot be reached by ordinary furnace fire, and as long as this bluestone is put into the fire, the bluestone will release a large amount of heat, raising the temperature of the furnace fire, so as to reach the level where the magnetic ore can be melted. So, I have to collect some of them before I can refine them. ”

"Is that enough?"

"Enough, don't look at these bluestones are very small, but the heat contained in them is not trivial, such a one, put it into the fire, you can continue to release a quarter of an hour of heat, there are thirty-two here, add up to four hours, enough!"

Xu Yuan pointed to the bluestone in the stone box and explained to Chen Fan: "However, bluestone is also good and bad, you see, this surface is smoother, the red light is stronger, the time to release heat will be longer, this surface is uneven, the light is weak, it is relatively poor, and the time to release heat will be relatively less." ”

"When the temperature of these bluestones is lower than a certain value, they will continue to release heat, although it is not much compared to the total amount of heat contained in the bluestone, but in the long run, the heat in the bluestone will still be released, and then the bluestone will be useless. Therefore, we have specially made a stone box to store to reduce the loss of bluestone. ”

Chen Fan picked up a piece of bluestone with a little curiosity and put it in the palm of his right hand to look at it carefully.

"Be careful of hot hands!" Xu Yuan hurriedly stopped, but unfortunately it was too late, Chen Fan had already picked up the bluestone.
