Chapter 17: Stone Town
In the Hongjia family of Tianbei City, in the main hall, an old man sat in the first place, the old man's face was majestic, not angry and arrogant, he looked at the few people standing below with indifferent eyes, and said in a cold voice:
"It's been three days, and I haven't caught the little brute who abolished Chen'er, just a fighter, do you want the whole family of my Hong family to go out?"
"Old Ancestor is angry, that little beast is a disciple of the Wind Thunder Pavilion after all, there are some things that we can't put on the surface, but all the exits of Qifeng Mountain are guarded by our people, and the head of the family has been negotiating with Elder Yun of the Wind Thunder Pavilion recently, as long as Elder Yun is out of the customs, there will be no hiding place for that little beast in the inner perimeter of Qifeng Mountain and in the Wind Thunder Pavilion."
"Guards? Hum! What if people had already left the Wind Thunder Pavilion, or even left Qifeng Mountain? β
"Ancestor, no, with that kid's strength as a fighter, it is impossible for him to slip away under our noses..."
"Humph! Notify our people in the surrounding cities, issue a wanted warrant, Qifeng Mountain is thousands of miles away, and send people to search for carpets! β
Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
On a small road thousands of miles away from Qifeng Mountain, the sky is shining, the gray-white rocky road is scorched like an iron plate, and a young man in a black robe is walking forward sweating.
The young man was naturally Nanchen who was evading the pursuit, for three days, Nanchen was hurrying non-stop, and until now, the fighting spirit in his body was almost exhausted, but he didn't dare to stop.
"There are still five hundred miles ahead of the Stone City, according to the records in the Wind Thunder Pavilion, there is a space array in the Stone City, and it is said that there is a big force behind the Stone City, but the specific force, even if it is in the Wind Thunder Pavilion, there is no record, I hope I don't want to run for nothing!"
Looking up at the dazzling sunlight, Nanchen took out a diluted version of the Earth's Heart Quenching Body Lotion, took a drop, and felt the pure energy spread out in his body, Nanchen let out a long groan of satisfaction.
After a few days of running, the fighting energy in his body has risen significantly, and there is only one opportunity left for Nanchen to break through to the three-star fighting master.
With the gradual recovery of the fighting qi in his body, seeing that there was no one around, the cyclone in Nanchen's body accelerated and rotated, and between the thunder snake leaps in the center of the cyclone, a thunderbolt power was released, which flowed to his feet under Nanchen's control, and with a bang, Nanchen's figure exploded into the distance.
When night falls, a full moon hangs in the sky, illuminating the earth.
On a wide rock road, Nanchen's shadow was dragged for a long time, not far in front of him, there was a towering city wall, the city wall was completely made of huge rocks, it looked quite spectacular, on the city wall, the dragon and the phoenix danced carved with the three big characters of "Stone City".
Under the city wall, a magnificent city gate is wide open, although it is night, but the city gate in and out of the people in and out of the endless stream, Nanchen saw this, followed the flow of people, after paying some entrance fees, he entered smoothly.
As soon as you enter the city, you will be greeted by a puff of smoke and fire, and almost every house on the street is hung with various lanterns, fire niches, etc., rendering the whole sky fiery red.
"Ding, the host has been detected in Stone Town, do you want to check in?"
Hearing the voice in his head, Nan Chen's heart moved, and then he silently said: "Sign in!"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for signing in successfully, and rewarding the secret technique: Stone Demon Forging Technique."
"It turned out to be a body forging secret technique!"
Hearing the reward given by the system, Nanchen was surprised for a moment, and then hurriedly suppressed the joy in his heart and looked at the street ahead.
On the street, there are many pedestrians, and some children are running on the street, and the sound of selling is endless.
"Although I haven't been to other cities in this world, isn't this atmosphere not quite in line with the setting of a world where martial arts are respected!?"
Walking on the street, Nanchen looked at it and marveled at the atmosphere here.
"What's so strange, this is Stone Town, and there is me behind the City Lord's Mansion... With the support of mysterious forces, who dares to make trouble here, isn't that because they don't want to live? β
While Nanchen was looking around, a slightly immature voice suddenly sounded beside him.
Nanchen was shocked, and hurriedly turned his head to look to the side, only to see a young man with a slightly strong figure and very smart eyes, standing beside him with a proud face.
The young man's complexion was grayish, and he had a black jade-inlaid forehead band tied around his forehead, which looked quite strange.
Looking at the young man in front of him who was about the same age as himself, Nan Chen's heart was a little uneasy, he didn't notice anyone approaching just now, and he spoke very quietly just now, this person could hear clearly!
"You are..." Nanchen said with some hesitation.
"Oh, my name is Shi Yu, the universe of Yu. What about you? β
"Me? Ahem, my name is Chen Haonan! β
"It turned out to be Brother Chen, fortunately, but Brother Chen, the weather is so hot, aren't you stuffy wrapped in a black robe?"
Looking at the doubts on the young man's face, Nanchen felt a toothache:
"This guy can't be so naΓ―ve all the time, right? How did he get to where he is now? β
Although he was speechless in his heart, Nanchen still spoke: "It's okay, my body is weak, so it's warmer!"
After casually repeating a few nonsense words, Nanchen wanted to leave, but the young man next to him seemed to say again:
"Brother Chen, is this in a hurry? Today is the grand event of our Stone Town, an anniversary ceremony that is only held once in five years, isn't Brother Chen interested? β
Seeing that Nanchen actually wanted to leave, Shi Yu looked at Nanchen with a curious expression.
"Ahem, that, I'm actually a treasure hunter, and I just want to borrow the space array to hurry by here, and now the time is urgent, I have to go!"
"Treasure hunter? You must have been to a lot of places, can you tell me about it? β
When Shi Yu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, from birth to the present, his scope of activities is limited to this stone city, although he yearns for life outside, but because of the relationship between his family, he has nothing to do, and now he heard that the black-robed man in front of him turned out to be a treasure hunter, and the curiosity in his heart was immediately aroused.
"I'd love to talk to you too, but I'm in a hurry, so I'm sorry..."
Looking at the difficult young man in front of him, Nan Chen regretted why he used the original voice when he exclaimed just now, so although he was wearing a black robe, his voice revealed his age, and it was really enough for Nanchen to have a headache when he met this familiar Shi Yu.
"Stone City's space array has been closed today, don't you know?"
Without waiting for Nan Chen's words to finish, Shi Yu looked at Nan Chen with a strange expression.
"What? Closed? Why is the space array still closed? β
Hearing this, Nanchen almost didn't mention it in one breath, he still wanted to leave the place as soon as possible, after all, he was being hunted down, how could he stay in one place for too long.
"Didn't I say it, today is the anniversary ceremony of Stone City, except for the city guards, almost everyone else has a holiday, and the guards of the space array are naturally no exception."
Shi Yu shrugged his shoulders and said with some joy,
"Can you tell me about your amazing experience? I don't listen in vain, don't you want to use the space array, I invite you, it costs hundreds of thousands of gold coins to use the space array once, how about it? β
"Deal!"
As soon as he heard that it would cost so much money to use the space array, Nanchen didn't think about it, and directly agreed, anyway, he couldn't use the space array tonight, so it was better to play with this guy, and he just earned the travel expenses, only what kind of experience, for a person who has read the original book, he can bluff a large number of people by saying no!
