Chapter 167, Splitting the Sky and Treading the Fire Horse
readx;? The first feeling that Xinkang City gave Chen Qi was miserable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Standing at the door of the Adventurer's Union, as far as the eye can see, there are ruins everywhere, and some blood stains can still be faintly seen on many half-collapsed high-rise buildings, even in front of the gate of the Adventurer's Union, although it has been cleaned many times, and there is no bloodstain anymore, but there is still a faint cry of death in the air.
According to incomplete statistics, in the previous beast tide, the total number of soldiers and civilians in Xinkangcheng exceeded 100,000, and the first army of the Kangzhou Army stationed here was almost scattered, not to mention that there were more wounded, as well as this whole city established in this wilderness.
According to Min Zhiyin's estimates, this time the beast tide will directly lose hundreds of millions of gold coins in the entire Connecticut, not to mention the hard work of several generations.
It's all because of a few bear kids!
Thinking of this, Chen Qi's teeth itched with hatred, although he is not a child now, he is indeed quite bearish, but Chen Qi has always done things alone, and he has implicated hundreds of thousands of people in the entire city for his own selfishness.
Fortunately, the faces of the adventurers and migrant workers on the road are still full of longing and hope for the future, after all, it has been a few months since the previous events, and these new adventurers and migrant workers are not obsessed with feeling the pain of the past, but looking forward to the bright future.
Along the way, Chen Qi saw that many places were in full swing of construction, and his mood was much better.
Chen Qi went directly to the gate of the city, because before he came, Yuan Wenshan and Min Zhiyin had already planned a route for him - there was a big lake between the mountains in the north of Xinkang City, called Akalian Lake, where there were many second- and third-order fierce beasts, and occasionally fourth- and fifth-order high-level fierce beasts. It is suitable for Chen Qi's current strength experience.
Moreover, there are also a lot of spiritual grasses around Lake Akaria, and Chen Qi can just pick some of them and bring them back to Mu Qianqian.
Coming to the city gate, there are many adventurers gathering here, this scene makes Chen Qi feel extremely nostalgic, as if he left from Yangchuan City half a year ago with a breath in his breath.
Everything here is the same as the Federation, there are many stalls, and there is a huge bulletin board at the entrance of the city with all kinds of recruitment and acquisition information.
"Boom!"
A horse roar attracted Chen Qi's attention, and he followed the reputation, and there was a puff of dust and smoke in the distance that came towards the city gate, but in the blink of an eye, this puff of dust and smoke came to the city gate, slowing down.
At this time, Chen Qi saw clearly that this was a team, led by a heroic girl wearing a fiery red armor!
This girl is not very old, sixteen or seventeen years old, her face is also extremely beautiful, and what is even more rare is that she is heroic between her eyebrows, which has a unique flavor.
But what Chen Qi paid more attention to was the black, somewhat horse-like beast riding under her!
The beast was more than four meters tall, and the girl sat on it with a very small appearance, not at all like a normal horse riding on two legs - of course, it certainly couldn't get over. On the beast's back was a soft chair firmly inlaid with which the girl sat on.
These are nothing, it's not like I've never seen a big beast, and it's not so fussful.
What amazed him was the appearance of this beast!
The beast's body was as black as ink, its head was a little like a horse, but it was covered with fine scales, and there was a half-meter-long horn on its forehead, and there seemed to be a faint flame burning on that horn!
Not only on the horns, but also on the eyes of this fierce beast, its four hooves are stepping on flames!
Especially when it runs, it is spectacular!
This flame was definitely not an illusion, because Chen Qi saw that the land behind the fierce beast had left charred hoof prints.
But the beast was very docile to the girl on her back, and very obedient to orders, and the girl pulled the reins lightly, and its speed slowed down at once, and it was as fast as thunder before, but when it came to the gate of the city, it was already like a leisurely stroll.
Just this kind of change in speed is light, and it is not something that ordinary beasts can do.
The stall owners of many stalls at the city gate seemed to be very familiar with this girl, and greeted her with a smile, "Miss, you have come back from hunting?"
"Look at the eldest lady, this time the harvest is not small!"
"Miss, I have fresh second-order fresh carp here, you can bring it back to supplement the body of Marquis Baokang!"
The young lady smiled and responded to these stall owners one by one, her voice was hearty and her attitude was kind, Chen Qi could see that these people really liked her, and this young lady had no idea about these people.
Hearing them talk about the Marquis of Baokang, Chen Qi's heart moved, isn't this young lady the daughter of the Marquis of Baokang's mansion?
As if sensing Chen Qi's exploratory gaze, the young lady turned her head and glanced at Chen Qi, her gaze swept over Chen Qi's face, and then, the young lady said hello to the people around her, drove the giant beast under her, and slowly walked into the city gate.
Chen Qi came to a stall, made a look like he was going to buy something, and then asked casually: "Who is this young lady just now? The fierce beast she was riding was really domineering!"
The stall owner smiled and said, "Little brother, you just came to the Wasteland, right? You don't even know the eldest lady of the famous Marquis of Baokang's Mansion?"
Sure enough, it was from the Marquis of Baokang's mansion, Chen Qiqi said: "This young lady doesn't look very old, but it's the eldest lady?"
The stall owner smiled: "Little brother, you are really an outsider, but it's not surprising, the rules of these wealthy families, we ordinary people don't understand." The reason why this young lady is called the eldest lady is not because of her age, but because she is the first in line to the throne of the Marquis of Baokang's mansion. ”
The stall owner explained a few words to Chen Qi.
In order to ensure that the successor is the best one, every other year, the Marquis of Baokang's Mansion will assess the children over the age of seven to check their cultivation progress, as well as other aspects.
Of course, a seven-year-old child cannot be compared to a seventeen-year-old boy in any way.
Therefore, the assessment of these people in the Marquis of Baokang's Mansion is not vertical, but horizontal.
Each age group has a special evaluation criteria, and then it depends on how much the child can exceed the standard line, and the more they exceed, the more points they score.
Then use this score to judge the child's qualifications and future, the higher the score, the higher the inheritance sequence.
This is the case of the eldest lady of the Marquis of Baokang, since she first participated in the family test when she was seven years old, and in the past ten years, she has scored the highest every time, so she is also deservedly designated as the first heir to the Marquis of Baokang's mansion.
In other words, one day the Marquis of Baokang died, and with the support of the family elders, she would become the next head of the family - and at the same time, she also took on the important responsibility of inheriting the title of Marquis of Baokang!
Chen Qi thought of what Min Zhiyin had told him before, about the statement that the Federation would take back the title.
Even Min Zhiyin privately revealed to him that in the past thousand years, it has become more and more difficult for the Federation to review the inheritance of titles, but deliberately supported a group of new nobles to share the cake of those traditional nobles. This is the general trend and the conspiracy, so the lives of these traditional nobles are getting harder and harder.
However, this kind of exclamation appeared in his heart, and Chen Qi was too lazy to worry about these traditional nobles.
He asked the stall owner, "What is the beast that this young lady rode just now?" It looks so mighty and domineering!"
The stall owner laughed, "I knew you were going to ask that, because all the people ask the same question when they see Miss's mount." ”
Chen Qi took two bottles of medicine from his stall at random, threw a gold coin over, and asked, "What the hell is that?"
The stall owner immediately said enthusiastically: "That's the strange beast of the Marquis of Baokang's mansion, called the Sky Splitting Fire Horse, it is said that it can become a ninth-order strange beast when it reaches adulthood! But the domesticated beast is a strange beast! When the Marquis of Baokang came to the wasteland, he tamed a pair of sky-splitting fire-stepping horses and adopted them as mounts, and the one that the eldest lady is riding now is the descendant of the pair back then. And the most amazing thing is that the birthday of this Sky Splitting Fire Horse and the eldest lady are actually the same year, the same month, the same day, and the same moment!
"I heard that when the eldest lady was a baby, she played with this Sky Splitting Fire Pony, and then grew up together, and the Marquis of Bao Kang was worried about what if the eldest lady's qualifications were not good? But then I found out that it was completely in vain, haha!"
"Rank Ninth Order Alien Beast Mount!" Chen Qi's eyes lit up, fantasizing about how great it would be if he could also have such a Strange Beast as a mount!
The stall owner saw his thoughts, smiled and patted him on the shoulder twice, and said: "Young man, this Sky Splitting Fire Horse is not something you can think of, after this beast becomes an adult, it can travel thousands of miles in a day, and it is a ninth-order beast itself, and its strength is even stronger, you still don't think about it." If you really want a mount, ......."
The stall owner bowed his chin to the side and said, "There are wildebeest sellers there, and choosing a good wildebeest can also save you a lot of trouble." ”
“......”
Spending ten gold coins to buy a wildebeest, Chen Qi rode on it, and headed in the direction of Lake Akaria.
The reason why it was bumpy was because Chen Qi was riding a horse for the first time in his life, and it would be good to make the horse obedient, where could he expect too much?
Along the way, all Chen Qi thought about was the sky-splitting fire horse just now.
A vigorous posture, with black scale armor, four hooves stepping on fire, occasionally snorting, and white smoke can be spewed out of the nose.
Such a powerful horse is definitely every man's dream!
As for the girl on its back?
Oops, girls or something, how can there be such a mount that is attractive to men?!(To be continued.) )
