Thorn City is located in a remote location, and it was originally a place where news was blocked.

However, due to Gu Bei's series of improvements, today's Thorn City has attracted many cultivators to live for a long time, and among these cultivators, the news is transmitted quickly.

In the Shenlong Inn, the cultivators were eating meat and drinking wine while talking about what was happening in the national capital.

"I heard that when the Divine Dragon Dan was completed, it attracted the ninth-order powerhouses of the four major countries to come and fight, and the palace was full of blood, and even the city protection array that required a large amount of spirit stones was opened."

"And what about later? Was the Shenlong Pill snatched away? ”

"It wasn't snatched away, how powerful is the protective array of Dragon's Tooth City? The ninth-order powerhouses can't be broken by joining forces, and the enemies trapped inside are all strangled by the big array, and the Divine Dragon Pill naturally still belongs to our Holy Dragon Kingdom. ”

"I heard that the Divine Dragon Pill is rare to see in a hundred years, and it can help people break through the ninth order, with these Divine Dragon Pills, our Holy Dragon Kingdom will be able to have a few more ninth-order peerless powerhouses, won't it rise in the future?"

The cultivator who knew the news sighed and said, "It stands to reason that this is the case, but the creation makes people." ”

"No one expected that not long after the opening of the city protection array, there was suddenly a purple gold divine dragon in the sky, and after seeing the dragon corpse, he went crazy directly."

"I heard that the entire palace was destroyed, and His Majesty the Emperor, the Great Master of the Protector Country, the Holy Dragon Seniors, and the ninth-order powerhouses present from the Four Great Powers were all killed."

"I heard that even the crown prince has not escaped this catastrophe, our Holy Dragon Kingdom, I'm afraid it's going to be a big mess."

"What? This ......"

The news was so shocking that everyone didn't know what to say for a while.

But everyone knows that the Holy Dragon Kingdom, and even the entire Eastern Continent, are probably going to be in chaos.

For a while, everyone was in danger, and they didn't have the heart to eat meat and drink anymore, so they began to seek a place to save their lives in troubled times.

In a room on the second floor of the Shenlong Inn, Gu Bei, Ye Wei, Li Qingling, Yang Shifu and others all gathered together, and there was a table of good wine and food, but no one moved chopsticks.

Gu Bei got the news earlier than those ordinary cultivators, not because he had any eyeliner in Dragon Tooth City, but because he had Li Qingling, an alchemist with a mysterious identity, by his side.

After the incident in Dragon Tooth City, Li Qingling learned the news through the sound transmission jade Jian for the first time, and then conveyed the news to Gu Bei, so that he could prepare early.

After Gu Bei got the news, he was suddenly afraid.

Fortunately, he didn't have the ability to leave the dragon corpse in the first place, otherwise, he would have been the one who died, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

Li Qingling said: "Now the matter is very clear, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and when the crown prince and the emperor die, the princes who have been waiting for the opportunity will definitely start to compete for the throne." ”

Ye Wei said with burning eyes: "Your Highness, you are also a prince!" ”

Gu Bei smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "The excitement belongs to them, it has nothing to do with me, just with these hundreds of people in Thorn City, you still want to take the throne?" ”

Yang Shifu said: "The strength of Thorn City is indeed too weak, but the battle for the throne cannot end in a short time, we can take this opportunity to develop and grow, there is no chance to snatch the throne now, it does not mean that there will be no future." ”

Gu Bei looked at the three people in front of him strangely, and said, "Do you think I, a prince who has been divided into the border, wants nothing to be the emperor?" ”

Ye Wei said sincerely: "I think His Highness is very capable, but he didn't play it before." ”

Li Qingling was more direct: "We are all following you, if we don't support you, who else can we support?" ”

Yang Shifu nodded, indicating that his opinion was the same as theirs.

Gu Bei glanced at the three of them, and said helplessly: "Okay, let's talk about the fight for the throne later, the most important thing at the moment is to strengthen the defense of Thorn City, so that one day the war will burn here, we are not ready." ”

"Thorn City is located in a remote location, and there are not many resources, so no one should attack this place in a short period of time, because it is useless to defeat it."

"We can take advantage of this time to develop secretly, and let the other forces consume each other first."

Gu Bei never thought that a place like Thorn City, where there was nothing to ask for, would one day become an advantage.

"Yang Shifu, from today onwards, your city guards will recruit unlimited soldiers, as long as there is enough food, you can recruit as many as you want, and it is best to recruit some low-level cultivators!"

"Yes!"

Yang Shifu felt that his heart was on fire, who hasn't dreamed of commanding thousands of troops?

"Miss Li, you have worked hard to refine some more pills during this time, just in case you need them."

"Leave it to me." Li Qingling readily agreed.

Most of the raw materials of the pills she refined before were from the City Lord's Mansion, and part of the finished pills were used by the City Lord's Mansion for her own use, and some of them were sold, and she could get a third of the money from the sale.

"Ye Wei, from today onwards, the escort team will also continue to recruit cultivators, and there is only one requirement, that is, loyalty, if there are disloyal people, clean them up as soon as possible, so as not to get bad things."

Ye Wei patted his chest and said, "Your Highness put it down and wrap it around me." ”

"Okay, let's get down to business, eat."

Gu Bei took the lead in picking up chopsticks and bowls and began to feast.

The others were also in a good mood, laughing and talking lightly, eating and drinking, and having fun.

After eating, Gu Bei rode Ao Xing to the mysterious forest.

Now that the world is in turmoil, the secret base established in the mysterious forest is even more important.

This place is not only the basis for his future rise, but also a retreat in case of an accident, even if he is forced to abandon Thorn City one day, with this base, he can also have a place to live.

"Boom!"

Ao Xing landed outside the base forest, and after putting Gu Bei down, he went to forage for food on his own.

As Ao Xing continues to grow, it has fully adapted to the mysterious forest and is living in it like a fish in water.

Gu Bei walked into the forest, and saw an earth dragon eating along the way.

The three-headed earth dragon who protected this forest was completely accustomed to the existence of people, and after seeing Gu Bei, he also tore a large piece of demonic beast meat and gave it to Gu Bei with his front paws.

"Thank you."

Gu Bei didn't refuse the kindness of the earth dragon, he took the piece of demonic beast meat, and he would occasionally send some prey to the earth dragon to bring the relationship between the two sides closer, and the earth dragon would be willing to protect here.

The earth dragon smiled like a dragon, but it still had blood stains on its teeth, and it looked rather hideous.

Gu Bei walked into the forest with the meat of the demonic beast, many of the thorns, weeds, and shrubs in the forest had been cleaned up by the soldiers, and there were more sheep intestine paths on the ground, which looked no longer as wild as before, and had some popularity.

After Gu Bei entered, a soldier who was mowing the grass immediately greeted him.

Gu Bei casually threw the demonic beast meat sent by the Earth Dragon to him and said, "Take it back and eat it." ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

The soldier was calm.

Since they came here, they have never lacked all kinds of meat, and their strength has grown steadily and rapidly, although it is a little dangerous, but the benefits are also obvious.

Gu Bei continued to walk forward, and it didn't take long to see the tall and sturdy wooden house, as well as the elixirs planted next to the wooden house, as well as the low-level demonic beasts and demon beasts that were cultivated.

The Ironhead Sheep and the Frost Deer calves have been kept for some time, and they have gradually become accustomed to the presence of people, to being fed, to living in a pen.

This is a good phenomenon, Gu Bei believes that breeding demonic beasts and demon beasts will definitely be successful.

And those elixirs, since they were transplanted to this forest, they have received sufficient spiritual energy nourishment, and they have grown more and more luxuriantly, and it is only a matter of time before they mature.

Gu Bei is full of confidence in the future of this secret base!
