Chapter 288: Strange Town

In the afternoon of the same day, Qi Lang and the two brothers finally walked out of the Qingdi Desert, and Yuanping Town was just a kilometer or two in front. It's just this so-called Genping Town...... It seems to have moved.

In Qi Lang's memory, the location of Yuanping Town should be close to the mountains and rivers, and there are a few woods surrounding the town, but now it seems that the steel skeleton is still the same as in the old days, but the direction has changed to a certain extent. Besides...... Why did black smoke rise from the thick glass roof of the town, could it be that the Tiger Cavalry had launched a fierce attack at this time, and that it was the attack of the thugs that caused the behemoth to displace?

Without Qi Lang's order, the two brothers, Gulf and Owu, had already entered a state of alert, one took off his bow and arrows, and the other drew the sword of victory from his back, looking at the monstrous town with gloomy faces.

Schukin was the first to fly, like a black arrow, and in the blink of an eye it was thrown into billowing black smoke.

Leo and Igro also appeared at the same time, raising their noses to sniff the air.

"I didn't find anything, there was no smell of blood there. This was Igru's prompt to Qi Lang, who quickly let his guard down and returned to his original lazy appearance, "I guess the mouthy crow will have to run for nothing, and hopefully when she returns, she won't complain that the black smoke has soiled her feathers." ”

Leo seemed to have provided the same information to Owu, for his two barks were not intended to be any warning, but the great scuba mastiff was far more faithful in comparison, and he rushed out anyway, as if a fragrant roast was waiting in front of him.

Closely behind Leo, it didn't take two minutes for Qi Lang and the two brothers to rush to the steel entrance of Yuanping Town. They were taken aback by what they saw—thousands of inhabitants hid far away on the other side of the moat, craned their necks as if they were pilgrimage, staring at the black smoke rising from the rooftops. However, it didn't look like a pilgrimage, because their faces were full of panicked expressions, and even the arrival of Qi Lang and the others failed to attract their attention in the slightest.

At this moment, Shukin flapped his wings and rushed out of the black smoke, and without the slightest pause, rushed into the curly hair of Gurve's head, and then Gulf shouted in surprise: "Hell, the bald guy is still in there!

Qi Lang secretly screamed in his heart, and was about to get up and rush into the town gate, but he saw three or five black strange guys screaming and escaping from it, plopping, jumping into the moat one after another, and it took a long time to poke his head out, and he didn't know whether he was choked by the water or smoked, and he couldn't stop coughing over there.

Qi Lang ran up before everyone gathered around, and asked eagerly to the nearest black charcoal head: "Hey, brother, is Big Brother Ji Meng still inside?"

"It turned out that Brother Qi had arrived, and I was Ji Meng. He jumped out and wiped his face vigorously. But unfortunately, that one didn't have any effect at all, and the scorched blackness on his face probably couldn't subside for a long time.

Qi Lang recognized him from his round head, yes, it was Ji Meng, the latest great mage of the Venerable Holy Sect, but he seemed to have changed his career, as if he was working as a head chef, because in Qi Lang's impression, only when the head chef failed to make a fire, would he make himself look like this.

"What's going on?" Qi Lang helped him shake the muddy water off his body, and asked with a stunned expression, "Is there a spy in the town?"

Ji Meng smiled embarrassedly: "it!" these fools didn't say that they found any mechanism under the town, and they repeatedly claimed that they were expected to recreate those thunder balls, which caused Ji to suffer a crime, his ears were almost deaf, and he almost took his life. ”

He turned around again, fished out the black chickens behind him one by one, and made sure that no one lacked arms or legs, so he kicked over one by one: "Fuck me honest, just your pig brains, you are not material for scientific research in this life!"

Seeing this laughable scene, Qi Lang was really helpless, and had the heart to ask if the horses were ready, but he couldn't just walk away, so he had to take the snickering Gulf and Ou Wu to help comfort him. After all, this matter can't be too reckless by those kind-hearted guys, Lei Tuanzi is the most powerful weapon in history, if there is a chance to imitate it, I'm afraid that in a few days, those villains of the Otto Empire will all be driven to hell.

After a moment of stability, the black smoke at the top of the town gradually dissipated, and the souls of the townspeople who were shocked out of the clouds also returned to their places one by one. So Ji Meng began to get busy again, beckoning the townspeople to go back to their homes, and at the same time pulling Qi Lang over and asking questions. The letter that Shukin had brought with him in the early days was vague, he only knew that this great benefactor of the Holy Sect was coming, and he only wanted to be able to entertain Qi Lang and the others here, and as for the preparation of the horses, he completely left it behind. When he learned that the men wanted to go all the way west without stopping, the enthusiastic brother completely blackened his face, and forcibly detained the three men on the grounds that he refused to provide horses, and he would not let them go until he had finished dinner.

Anyway, the shortcut provided by Lu Si grabbed a lot of time for Qi Lang and them, and after a rough estimate, even at the moment, they are ahead of the sinister kimchi prince for more than a day, plus Princess Mi Rong will inevitably try her best to delay time along the way, and it is estimated that eating a meal will not affect the overall situation. In the face of enthusiasm, Qi Lang had no choice but to obediently obey the order of the supreme archmage, and followed the town with Gulf and Ouwu.

Since they are all old acquaintances, the Zunsheng Sect does not talk about any pomp here, but just sits in the tin house in the center of the town, and the townspeople offer a few home-cooked side dishes, tea instead of wine, and it is enough to simply fill their stomachs, but during the meal, there is one thing that attracts Qi Lang's attention - the strange structure of this steel town!

Although a year ago, in order to rescue Ji Meng, who was subject to Creden, Qi Lang had infiltrated Yuanping Town, but at that time, he just felt that this town was a little strange, it looked like some kind of ancient ruins, but it was transformed and used by these descendants now, and it became a place to stay. But when he visited again, he found that this place was not so simple, because the metal skeletons that stood tall around the town, including the tin houses around him, were made of some kind of special metal. Judging by the occasional fragment in his hand, the metal was so hard that even Ou's Sword of Victory could only scratch a mark on it, but it was as light as nothing in his hand. And this magical metal, Qi Lang has also been in contact with recently, on that unknown path of channeling!

Qi Lang remembered clearly that after conquering the tower, the pillar of heaven that stood in the void was made of this special metal, and later, the interior of the small hut where Homo sapiens appeared seemed to be covered with the same material everywhere, there may be some kind of connection between this, could it be ...... This big building is the Tissot in the mouth of Homo sapiens?

Taking the opportunity to help Ji Meng add food, Qi Lang followed the archmage out of the door, and asked casually: "Brother Ji, I found that your town seems to have undergone a certain change, that is, you felt that the original position was not suitable for retreat, so you used all the strength of the town to move it to the current position?"

Ji Meng scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with an indignant face: "It's not those ghosts who pretend to be clever boys!" Half a month ago, a townsman happened to open the entrance to a cellar under Ji's house, and the auspicious light inside was quite strange. In the eyes of those few thunder balls, as if they had found a treasure, they insisted that there must be the remaining thunder balls in it, and they were so excited that they couldn't control themselves, and they didn't even say hello, so they drilled down on their own initiative, but they didn't know what mechanism they encountered, and the ground shook for a while, so that the whole town almost didn't fall. Thanks to the fact that they stopped early, it didn't cause a catastrophe. But those guys still refused to give up, so they had to encourage Ji to try again, and as you can see, I have never been so ashamed in my life. ”

"Oh yes......" Qi Lang spun around, finally stopping at the huge stand erected in the middle of the town. It was an iron pipe of the thickness of a hug, which connected up and down to the top of the canopy, and it seemed to be about the same size as the pillar......

"That's right!" Qi Lang slapped his palm violently, "Brother Ji, you have lived here for a long time, have you ever observed the shape of this town from a distance?"

Ji Meng didn't know why, and replied with a blank face: "It's natural to see it, after all, this is a military location." It's shaped like an elongated droplet...... But it was only above ground level, and it was estimated that there would have to be at least two of them that size underground, or the cellar wouldn't have been that deep. ”

Qi Lang's eyes began to flicker: "So, do you think it will look like a shuttle?"

"Listening to Brother Qi, you say this, it seems to be really like this. Ji nodded hurriedly.

Qi Lang exhaled slowly: "Brother Ji, I want to ask, if every room in this town is filled with people, how many residents do you say can it be accommodated?"

Ji Meng raised his eyebrows in confusion and thought for a while: "Twenty or thirty thousand people can't run away." What, Brother Qi, you want to bring someone to move in with you? That's the best. ”

"I can't say it. Qi Lang smiled, as if there was a hidden emotion in his expression, "At least not in the short term." However, I want to remind Brother Ji that this town should be an extremely crucial artifact, and I may have a chance to solve the mysteries of it, and I will definitely visit again when it is free in the future. ”
