Chapter 226: Firebird City
At the same time, Li Lei, who had just returned to the Floating Immortal Island, received a report from the jade housekeeper that someone had found Stinger's office and asked the reception staff to give him a message, "Hurry up and get down to business when you've had enough, you have decided to close the city there, and you don't have to go there in the future." ”
This sentence has no beginning or end, and the reception staff saw that the other party was named, and they didn't dare to hide it and quickly reported it to the housekeeper.
Hearing this, Li Lei touched the stubble on his chin that had not been shaved for a long time, and sneered, that temple master really regarded himself as the person in charge, he could do whatever he wanted, but he couldn't anger the other party too much and make the relationship worse, only for the time being.
The action against Qinglong City came to an end, but Li Lei was still angry, the other three cities also had a share, Gu Yue was still dealing with White Tiger City, it seemed that he was going to fight with them, Scarlet Dream said that it was dealing with Xuanwu City, but Li Lei didn't know how to do it, decent people tried to sneak into the outer cities of Xuanwu City, and only when they entered could they know what Scarlet Dream was doing.
The rest is that no one in Vermilion Bird City has to deal with it, whether it is to vent his anger now, or to plan for the future, he must continue to weaken the strength of the four major temples and their ancillary powers, you must know that if the gods fail, these guys will launch an attack on the fairy island, this news Li Lei also informed Gu Yue and Scarlet Meng, as for believing it or not, it can only depend on the two themselves.
Vermilion Bird City also didn't know where it was hidden, the only information it knew was that the outer city was in the worst area of the Demon Cultivation Continent, and only that one was found, it seemed to be the weakest of the four major cities, but no one dared to underestimate it, and being able to live in that kind of place was a manifestation of strength in itself.
This is a volcanic eruption place, several active volcanoes are connected into a piece, billowing black smoke all year round into the sky, magma erupts day and night, is a grass does not grow a scorching flame shijie. The outer city of Suzaku City is called Firebird City, which is surrounded by mountains, and because of the low-lying terrain, magma rolls in, and people use their ingenuity to dig many ditches and form lava rivers around the city, and no one can stay here for a long time except for fire monks.
In response to this characteristic, Li Lei only brought Li Wushuang and one of the twins, Ruomeng, because they were fire cultivators, they were like fish in water here, but Li Lei was bitter, and he had been pouring spirit wine in a big gulp, even if he was wearing several top-level fire beads, he was still uncomfortable.
At the beginning, it was almost, far away from me, I just felt that the air was dry, and there was a smell of sulfur, but the closer I got to the skin, the hotter it felt, and when I passed by a magma river in the outermost part, Li Lei regretted it a little.
The magma in the river flows slowly, all of which are guided from the periphery of Firebird City, and these magma will flow all the way to the sea, creating new land for the Demon Cultivation Continent, and someone is specifically responsible for dredging the river, and the banks of the river and the bottom of the river are all made of a fire-resistant rock, although it has been burned red, but it can't be melted, so that the magma can pass smoothly.
Standing on the top of the bridge leading to the other bank, looking at the road in the distance or a winding mountain road, climbing through a volcano to enter Firebird City, Li Lei was a little sore in the egg, but he still chose to move on, not that there was no other way, and the other one was even more difficult to walk, and it was necessary to pass through the passage of the magma river gushing out of the mountain tunnel, which was a melting pot in a closed environment, which was enough to kill many low-level monks!
Walking on the bridge, it was like being grilled on a fire, and I only felt that my body was emitting a smell of meat, and with my own strength, I didn't want to think about the rest of the people, and I couldn't help but admire the residents living in Suzaku City. The road and the bridge are also paved with refractory materials, because they are scorched all the year round, walking on the top only feels that the soles of the feet are hot, and there are ditches on the roadside, guiding the magma flowing down the mountain into the river, looking at the bubbling red slurry, Li Lei wanted to fly directly over with the no-fly sign several times.
Firebird City is also an undefended city, the reason why flying is forbidden is to test visitors, as long as they can keep walking through, they are welcome to enter Firebird City to trade or settle, and second, to show respect for the Suzaku clan, the sky in this area can only be flown by the Suzaku clan or the strong people they agree with.
If Li Lei reports his name, he can definitely fly into the sky, but whether he is popular or hunted down, it is not necessarily!
"Oh my God, this won't let people live!"
Finally went around the other side of the volcano from the mountainside, Li Lei couldn't help but wail, looking down from the mountainside, the Firebird City is more like a big furnace, whether it is the city wall or the buildings are all red, that is the reason why it has been scorched all the year round, the vision of the air transpiration is a little blurred, if it is not for a shield to protect the whole city, the volcanic ash alone can bury it, and other attribute monks will live from here for a long time, it is absolutely impossible!
"I heard from the people in the spy camp that the essence of fire is abundant here, although the demand for the essence of fire in the Demon Cultivation Continent is not very large, but it is enough for the people here to live a rich life, if only we had such a place, the essence of fire is inexhaustible. ”
Li Wushuang's eyes flashed with brilliance, she and Pan Xuanxuan and the other maids had been managing the property in the Floating Immortal Island for a long time, she was good at keeping her family, she was extremely sensitive to valuable goods, and the essence of fire was of great benefit to her cultivation.
"Haha, that's good, then let's use looting as the main thing this time to kill people as a supplement, and get more fire essence to satisfy your wealth addict. ”
"Husband, I want it too~"
Li Lei daxiao made a sound, and Xiao Pepper Ruomeng also shouted and cheered, with little stars in her eyes, and seemed to have a pile of fire essence, Li Lei patted her buttocks and laughed, "Okay, wait for me to make a bed for you with the essence of fire, and pamper you on it." ”
Speaking intimate and ambiguous words, the three of them walked all the way down towards Firebird City, and saw someone coming from a distance, and a large number of people poured out of Firebird City, if it weren't for their smiling faces, Li Lei and the three of them thought that their identities were exposed.
"Friend, what did you bring with you? ”
"Leopard San, you hurry up and get out, why are you all-inclusive? This big brother, the price I gave is definitely the highest, take it out for inspection first. ”
"Get out of the way, what's the matter with blocking the distinguished guests at the gate of the city? Didn't you see that he wasn't a fire repair, hurry up and invite inside, I have already booked a private room in the largest restaurant. ”
The scene was chaotic like a vegetable market, everyone regarded Li Lei and the three as businessmen, in order to compete for the supply of goods, they were messy and noisy, Li Lei's eyes narrowed and smiled, he just couldn't find an excuse to enter the city, he couldn't say that he came to this ghost place for sightseeing, and he was in the middle of it. It was indeed too hot at the gate of the city, and he was already sweating, so he parted the crowd and walked into the city, and the people were leading the way in front of him, all wanting a piece of the pie.
The most valuable thing in this city is wine, and the price of spirit wine is simply sky-high! Water is also very valuable, but some people have monopolized this industry, and no one can interfere.
If you have money, you don't make a bastard, the one who trades here is the essence of fire, and the price of this essence of fire is not much more expensive than the spirit stone, you must know that if the essence of fire gets to the spiritual cultivation continent, the price is dozens of times that of the spirit stone, and the quality of haode can be doubled to hundreds of times, and it is even more valuable when it reaches the soul cultivation continent, and the consumption of fire soul cultivation there is even greater.
In the hall of the restaurant with the effect of heat insulation, an auction began, which made the owner of the restaurant very resentful, what is the matter with you selling wine here with me, but I still enthusiastically joined in. Li Lei couldn't look down on the small amount, so he simply started bidding for a hundred bottles of wine, and at the end of the day, in order not to show that he had endless spirit wine, he stopped, even if he made it, he couldn't stop laughing, and immediately ordered the island to organize a group of fire demon cultivators to form a caravan to rush here, which is much faster than robbing money!
Originally, he thought that if he dealt with this place, he might make a lot of money, and the people in the whole city were their own miners, and their demand for spirit wine was endless, Li Lei changed his mind slightly, and the interests of the people on the earth were the top priority. Since the last time a large number of wood essences were excavated, the overall strength of the wood cultivators was obviously one level higher than others, and this time they could obtain a large number of fire essences, which must not be missed.
What surprised him even more was that the mines outside the city did not prevent anyone from collecting the essence of fire, as long as you had the ability, no one cared how much you took away, those volcanoes erupted all year round, constantly spewing out the essence of fire underground. But it's not so easy to collect, the mine is basically dug up, and it will collapse if you dig it again, and it has been banned by the people of Vermilion Bird City, and you must go deep into the magma to get it, it depends on how you cultivate, the higher the cultivation, the stronger the resistance to the fire system, and the deeper you dive, the greater the harvest.
In addition to the labor, there is no cost at all, and after learning the news, Li Wushuang and Ruomeng's interest has increased greatly. When he came out of the restaurant and came to the inn, Li Lei knew how rich the people in this Firebird City were, and before he came, he also said that he would create a big bed made of fire essence for Ruomeng, and all the beds in the luxurious private rooms of the inn were like this, not only the bed, but also all kinds of furniture. Not only is it conducive to cultivation, but the essence of fire is not hot, it can isolate the boiling heat outside the house, and the inside of the house looks much cooler.
Taking off a piece of fireproof equipment, Li Lei lay naked on the bed, but he was almost hot to death, and he was finally able to slow down. After the investigation, no one was watching, leaving the two girls in the room, and simply ran back to the floating fairy island to take a cold shower before coming out again, after resting for a night, he rushed to the mine with the two girls, the transaction has been arranged, and a large number of low-grade spirit wine will be sent, and it is better to be able to fish some by himself.
When he arrived at the door of the mine that was spewing fire, Li Lei was in pain again, and Xia Yufeng urgently created a set of fireproof treasure-level equipment for himself, and after trying the temperature, he could withstand it, and then strode in. When I got inside, I realized that what I was thinking was still a bit simple. The rock walls and the ground are covered with volcanic ash, and you can't even see the soles of your feet when you step on them, so you have to be careful not to step into the lava in the potholes.
