Chapter 59: Reunion
Compared to Kaiyang, which has a population of millions, Huize is indeed a small city.
Going back three hundred years, this place is not even a small town. If it weren't for the fact that it happened to be located in a section of the Wind Tide Channel, it would still be that dilapidated village now. Rao has such convenience, and over the years, the development of Aizawa has been far inferior to that of other similar cities.
After wandering around the city for a long time, Lu Chengfeng deeply felt the poverty here.
Due to its hilly location and lack of any special minerals and resources, it is rarely visited on weekdays. Even the grain relied on the wind and tide channels to transport supplies from outside. If it weren't for an accident, no one would have imagined that there would also be a space-time crack where this bird doesn't poop.
Thanks to this, the city of Aizawa has suddenly poured into thousands of people recently.
There are so many people, almost all of them are here for the possible flame breaking magic stone. Their appearance made Aizawa much more lively, and it also directly led to the shortage of food and accommodation. Lu Chengfeng was also lucky, he drove a mercenary team to give up the search, and just moved out, so he got a temporary room.
Because he didn't know enough about the Flame Breaking Demon Stone, Lu Chengfeng found the neighborhood, or the only tavern in the entire Huizawa, after getting the hotel.
No matter where you are, such a place is always the most well-informed and easy to get information.
Probably I didn't expect there to be so many customers, and the small Coral Tavern was almost full at the moment. Many mercenaries who came to Aizawa, after finding nothing and not being willing to leave, would come here, order a glass of rum, sit and talk, and wait for the final news. Lu Chengfeng silently ordered a glass of cold beer, and also sat in the corner, listening to these people spitting and discussing what he wanted to know.
"Nima's, a flame breaking magic stone, can attract so many people, I really didn't think it!"
"It's rare and weird, isn't it, such a few people are also called many? I think that at the beginning, in the mountain pass near the Dark City, where the space-time rifts are most frequent, there are thousands of masters waiting there all year round, and that is called lively!"
"Isn't the Dark City the territory of the fallen Elves of the Elves of the Clan?"
"That's right, that's why it's lively, you don't know how fierce the fight is there, even the masters of the seventh and eighth orders will die if they accidentally die!"
However, the large space-time rift that appeared on the side of the Dark City was also found with a top-grade steel magic stone. But what about us? A Flame Breaking Demon Stone is not that valuable. If you want me to say, is there no such thing at all? Otherwise, thousands of people have been looking for it for so many days, and if there really is, I'm afraid they would have found it a long time ago, how could there be no news at all?"
"Stupid! If you pick it up, will you tell it all over the world?
"Who do you say are stupid?
.........
Quarrels are quarrels, and in the end, these guys above still refrain from it. Everyone travels thousands of miles to seek wealth, and they will not easily fight because of a little verbal dispute.
Such a mess, and the credibility is not guaranteed, Lu Chengfeng listened to it for more than two hours. Although it gave him a deeper understanding of this incident, these messages did not help him find the Flame Breaker Stone. It wasn't until he was about to get up and leave that the news inadvertently leaked by the two mercenaries made Lu Chengfeng care.
This news is related to the underground rift near Aizawa.
An earthquake a few decades ago caused an underground canyon hundreds of meters wide to emerge near Aizawa. This canyon is only thirty or forty meters in the shallow place, and the deep place is said to be connected to the leylines, and there is an earth fire. Due to the pungent smell of sulfur in the air there, and some powerful demonic beasts, it can be called a forbidden area near Aizawa, and almost no one dares to enter it.
It was this rift valley that made Lu Chengfeng pay attention.
The flame spirit Yadeyan likes the environment with dense fire elements the most, and the underground rift where earth fire exists, must have a natural allure for it. It was only when it slipped all the way into the inhabited underground, and hundreds of thousands of people searched like a net, but found no trace. If the Flame Breaker Stone really hasn't been discovered yet, then the biggest possibility is there!
Moreover, combined with the positions and directions of some other big forces that he had heard before, Lu Chengfeng also vaguely determined this.
This characteristic of Yadeyan is not a secret, and many well-informed people know it. In the past two days, it is likely that those people have cleared the perimeter of the underground rift valley and gradually determined the hiding place of the flame Yadeyan. Thinking like this, Lu Chengfeng suddenly couldn't sit still.
After asking the specific location of the underground rift and learning about some things, Lu Chengfeng left Huize. When it appeared in the underground rift valley that stretched for hundreds of miles, it was already half a day later. Perhaps because the news had gradually spread, there were at least a dozen mercenaries standing outside the mouth of the rift.
Their existence strengthened Lu Chengfeng's confidence.
However, Lu Chengfeng soon discovered the problem. Near the entrance to the Rift, there was somehow an additional flaming rock golem. The monster was three meters tall and had blazing flames all over its body. If someone is uninformed, it is easy to mistake it for an abyssal hellfire from outside the territory. Of course, despite its similar appearance, its strength was much worse than that of Hellfire, and at most it was only a sixth order.
This strength is naturally not a problem for Lu Chengfeng before his rebirth. But now, this guy, who has no intention of leaving for the time being, has become the biggest obstacle to their entry into the underground rift.
It's hard to say if it wandered around on its own, or if it was deliberately led here by some person with ulterior motives.
Due to the limited attraction of the Flame Breaking Demon Stone to high-level powerhouses, and the news was uncertain, among the more than ten mercenaries who rushed here, there were no sixth-order masters. These people are roughly half of the fifth order and half of the fourth order. If they join forces, the sixth-order Flame Rock Golem is not impossible to kill. It's just that they are wary of each other, unwilling to exert their all, and both want others to withstand the attack of the flame golem, so they have not been able to reach an agreement until now.
To be sure, the entrance to the Rift Valley has no attraction to the Flaming Rock Golems. After a long time, this guy will leave on his own. But the problem is that by that time, the Demon Breaking Stone may have already been snatched away by the first few that went first!
Lu Chengfeng knew this very well, so he was a little anxious.
If you say, before coming here, Lu Chengfeng still had a skeptical attitude towards the Demon Breaking Stone. Seeing the situation and arrangement here, he was already convinced that the Demon Breaking Stone had probably not been taken away. And now, it's the last chance.
Looks like he's going to get out on his own!
Although Lu Chengfeng was only a fourth-order, in terms of strength, he had confidence that was not inferior to anyone present. If he comes out to organize, he will be able to kill the Flame Rock Golem, and at worst, he will be able to drive it away. Although this kind of monster has no intelligence, it always has the instinct to be afraid of death.
However, at the moment when Lu Chengfeng was about to stand up, two more people came on the field.
And he is also an acquaintance of Lu Chengfeng.
The one on the left is holding a phoenix-shaped flaming stone staff. Waterfall-like waist-length black hair with a touch of bright blonde. She wore a fiery red winged Aquila headband with a blue hexagonal magic crystal set in the center. The slightly hoarse voice was a little cold, but it could not hide the natural flattery.
As for the one on the right, the figure is exactly the same. She held a meniscus staff of cryolite in her hand and wore an ice-blue magical robe. Around her slender figure, there was a magic ring formed by the condensation of ice elemental magic, highlighting her identity as a fifth-order mage.
She is a sister of the Liu family.
The appearance of such a pair of fifth-order mages made those mercenaries uneasy.
Sister Liu Yuhan was obviously quite surprised that Lu Chengfeng was here, and when she saw Lu Chengfeng turn her head, she couldn't help but wave her hand at him.
"It's a coincidence. Lu Chengfeng smiled, and then looked at his sister Liu Yubing: "Congratulations, I haven't seen you for a long time, it seems that I have successfully advanced to the fifth order." ”
"Thank you for your generosity. ”
Liu Yubing's expression with a veil couldn't be seen, but Lu Chengfeng could feel that she was laughing.
"It's nothing, just take what you need. Lu Chengfeng waved his hand, signaling that she didn't have to take the Demon Soul Demon Vine Fruit to heart, and then asked, "You two, are you also here for the Demon Breaking Stone?"
"That's right. Liu Yuhan looked at the situation near the entrance of the underground rift and said, "I wanted to come here two days ago, but my sister's magic power hadn't stabilized at that time, so I don't have to worry about it now." Looks like this Flame Breaker is still there?"
Lu Chengfeng didn't dare to be sure, but said: "It's hard to say, if there is no accident, it should be here." It's just that the entrance is blocked by this guy. ”
"Hmm, a flame rock puppet?" Liu Yuhan raised his eyebrows and said, "It's a bit tricky, it's extremely resistant to fire spells." My fire magic, I'm afraid it will do only a limited amount of damage. With your sister and you, even if you can beat it, it's not worth it. ”
Lu Chengfeng glanced at her, his eyes stopped on her slender thighs for a moment, and then moved away casually: "It seems that Miss Liu has a solution." ”
The corners of Liu Yuhan's mouth under the veil curved an arc, but his tone did not change: "There are many solutions, the simplest is to casually summon a flame demon to entangle it, let's just take the opportunity to go in." It's just that that you'll be picked up by other fools. If you want the three of us to go in and don't give others a chance, you have only one idea. ”
As she spoke, she pulled out a small yellow puppet from the space ring.
"What is this?"
Lu Chengfeng remembered that he had seen this prop before he was reborn, but he couldn't call it out for a while. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "It's a provocative puppet made by the Demon Dao Alchemy!"
