Chapter 20: Outside the City

"Brother Yi, how can I quickly increase my strength?"

Zhang Tie looked at Yi Tiancheng next to him and asked. He has mastered the art of generating power, and as long as his physical strength is strong enough, he can naturally convert it into attack power.

"I really don't know what you're anxious about?"

Yi Tiancheng shook his head, but began to speak: "As far as I know, the fastest way to improve strength is 'quenching fluid' and 'forging bone fluid'. But ......"

Speaking of this, he touched his bald head, looked at Zhang Tie and continued: "You are young, and the bones of your whole body are still growing, 'forging bone fluid' is not suitable for you, the most suitable for you is 'quenching body fluid'!"

"'Quenching fluid'?"

Zhang Tie shook his head: "But I've already used it once!"

During the training camp, he learned: Something like 'quenching fluid' can only be used almost once per person. The second time, it had little effect.

"Already used it?"

Yi Tiancheng was stunned, propped his head and began to ponder.

"That's right!"

He patted his thigh and continued to Zhang Tie with a smile: "There is another thing, called 'Body Vitality Agent', that thing can also increase strength! However, that thing is expensive, it is not very easy to use!"

"Not easy to use?"

Zhang Tie looked at Yi Tiancheng suspiciously and asked.

"yes, that thing doesn't have any side effects, though. But if you can't stand the pain of that thing, it won't have any effect! It's not cheap, a thousand taels of silver!"

"If you can't stand the pain, it's not effective?"

"Yes, a friend bought it before, but he couldn't bear the pain, and a thousand taels of silver were lost. That's why I found out about that!"

"This ......"

Zhang Tie was silent, one thousand taels of silver was not a small amount. Now his whole body is more than three thousand taels of silver.

"How many can I use that thing?"

"I don't know about that. But it definitely can't be used indefinitely, and there is no way to use any of these drugs indefinitely!"

Yi Tiancheng touched his bare head and looked at Zhang Tiedao in confusion: "I don't understand, you are young, even if you are not defeated by a guard, it is not a problem to save your life in the hands of a guard, why are you still in such a hurry?"

"Who doesn't aspire to be strong!"

Zhang Tie laughed and snorted, but did not explain. There is hatred in my heart, and I want to become stronger all the time!

"You kid!"

Yi Tiancheng shook his head: "Don't be afraid of wasting money, you can try the 'Body Vitality Agent'." That thing can be sold for a thousand taels of silver, the effect should not be bad, and it is sold in the Black Feather Building!"

"Okay, I'll give it a try!"

said hello to Yi Tiancheng and ran out of the house.

"This kid!"

Looking at Zhang Tieyuan's back, Yi Tiancheng shook his head, but he didn't hate it. Anyway, there isn't much going on here these days!

At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhang Tie stayed in the simple house in the martial arts training ground and took out the 'body vitality agent' he had purchased.

Sit down cross-legged, show a determined look, and drink it directly in one gulp!

When the 'Body Activator' enters the mouth, you can feel a hot and spicy taste.

It's like a line of fire, flowing from the throat all the way to the stomach!

Just a moment later, Zhang Tie felt that his whole body was extremely hot!

"It hurts!"

After just a few breaths, the whole body seemed to be burned in flames, and the pain stimulated Zhang Tie's nerves!

"Don't pass out!"

Zhang Tie only gritted his teeth, his nails inserted into his palms, and his face was full of pain.

Yi Tiancheng said that once he faints, the 'Body Vitality Agent' will have no effect!

The pain became more and more intense, Zhang Tie's nails had been inserted into his flesh, and blood flowed down the palms of his hands.

"I can't stand it anymore!"

The pain all over his body became more and more intense, and Zhang Tie already felt that his vision was a little foggy.

Maybe in the next second, he will pass out!

"Ah!!h

Suddenly, he thought of his parents' faces in his mind!

"No, I can't faint!"

Zhang Tie bit his tongue and made his head clearer!

Time passed little by little, and the place where Zhang Tie was sitting had been dyed red by the blood flowing from his hands.

The corners of his mouth were dripping with blood.

That unbearable pain is waning!

"It hurts!"

Zhang Tie lowered his head and glanced at his bare arms. There were fiery red lines on his arms, and now those lines were fading, and little by little they were beginning to dissipate.

"Is it over?"

Slowly, Zhang Tie couldn't feel the pain anymore.

He stood up and moved his body.

Immediately, a look of surprise appeared on his face! He could feel that his physical strength had indeed increased!

How much it has been strengthened, I don't know yet!

After thinking of this, Zhang Tie immediately ran out of the room regardless of whether it was night time or not.

Anyway, they are in the martial arts training ground, and the stone lock must be there!

............

In the simple room, Zhang Tie's expression was quite pleasantly surprised. After a simple test, he knew the strength of his body now!

Two thousand five hundred pounds!

In other words, the 'Body Vitality Agent' made him gain a thousand pounds of strength!

What is this concept?

It is only a few hundred catties less than the 'quenching fluid'! You must know that the price of the 'quenching fluid' is ten times that of the 'body vitality agent'!

What Zhang Tie didn't know was that the 'Body Vitality Agent' and 'Quenching Body Fluid' were the same level of medicine at the beginning.

It's just that because the 'body vitality agent' requires too much perseverance, few users succeed, resulting in the price falling again and again.

Until now, except for the small amount of inventory in the Black Feather Building, it may not even be found anywhere else.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Tie practiced his swordsmanship in the martial arts training ground. His strength has skyrocketed, and he needs to practice slowly to convert his strength into combat power.

"Little Brother Zhang Tie, ......"

Yi Tiancheng ran over, and when he was about to speak, he saw Zhang Tie's long sword swinging a phantom in the air, and there was a sound of brushing through the air, he grew his mouth and looked at Zhang Tie with shock: "I said...... You're not going to make it, are you?"

That kind of phenomenon will definitely only appear if the strength exceeds 2,000 catties. In addition, Zhang Tie went to buy the 'Body Vitality Agent' yesterday, Yi Tiancheng could only guess that Zhang Tie had succeeded in using the 'Body Vitality Agent'!

"Awesome!"

Yi Tiancheng gave Zhang Tie a thumbs up, he had seen his friend with his own eyes, taking the 'Body Vitality Agent' and falling to the ground crying wolf, and finally fainting in pain!

admired Zhang Tie even more in his heart.

"The material is expected to be finished tonight, we need to prepare and leave early tomorrow morning!"

"Oh?"

Zhang Tie put away his long sword, looked at Yi Tiancheng with curiosity on his face and asked, "Brother Yi, I don't know what we're going to do?"

"Let's go, let's have breakfast, talk as we go!"

Yi Tiancheng smiled and took Zhang Tie back to the simple room. The tables in the room were already filled with a variety of delicate pastries and dishes.

"Come on, come on, eat, it's still the food sent by Tiancheng Restaurant, hurry up and eat it while it's hot!"

"Good!"

Zhang Tie and Yi Tiancheng began to deal with a table of breakfast. After a while, a table of food was basically wiped out!

"Can you say it now, Brother Yi?"

"Good, good!"

Yi Tiancheng touched his bald head and told Zhang Tie.

It turns out that there is a small mine in Xiaotou Mountain, where it is mainly rich in an ore called 'ferro-tungsten', and 'ferro-tungsten' is a substance that is one level harder than 'black iron'.

'Ferro-tungsten' is a very precious substance, and there are people guarding the mine for a long time. However, due to the long distance of Xiaotou Mountain, every six months, a group of people will replace the guards.

Zhang Tie's trip is to replace the past.

"Brother Yi, aren't the ore resources all managed by the Wang family, how can Lord Liu ......?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Tie closed his mouth and looked at Yi Tiancheng with doubts.

"Hahaha, the ore resources are operated by the Wang family, that's right. But 'tungsten ore' is such an important thing, does his Wang family dare to swallow it alone? Don't forget, the City Lord's Mansion is the real master of Duanmu City!"

Yi Tiancheng laughed and explained to Zhang Tie, then touched his head and said: "Actually, most of the people in the mine belong to the Wang family, we used to be mainly a supervisor, and we will bring back 'ferro-tungsten' when we replace it next time!"

Zhang Tie's hand under the table clenched into a fist, he didn't expect that he would meet the people of the Wang family so soon!

The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and Zhang Tie was called to the martial arts training ground by Yi Tiancheng.

In the huge martial arts training ground, there are at least more than 20 carriages parked, and on each carriage, there is a three-feather guard as a coachman, as well as more than 30 tall war horses.

Next to the horses, there stood about thirty guards in pitch-black armor.

"Next!"

Yi Tiancheng threw over a set of pitch-black armor and said to Zhang Tie, "Put it on!"

Zhang Tie opened the armor in confusion, including a cuirass and a helmet.

Looking at Zhang Tie's puzzled gaze, Yi Tiancheng said: "This road will definitely not be peaceful, we are all flesh and blood, this armor is made of Xuantie, sometimes it can save your life!"

Zhang Tie nodded, put on his armor, and put on his helmet.

It was his first time on a mission, and it was definitely right to listen to Yi Tiancheng.

After Zhang Tie was dressed, Yi Tiancheng gave an order, and all the guards got on their horses and walked towards the outside of the city gate.

As for him and Zhang Tie, they chose a comfortable carriage and sat on it peacefully.

After leaving the city gate, Zhang Tie looked around curiously. This was the first time he had seen the scenery outside the city.

During the survival trial, wearing a hood, it is impossible to enjoy the scenery as leisurely as now.

"First time out of town?"

Yi Tiancheng sat next to Zhang Tie and asked with a smile.

"That's right, it's a really nice view!"

It's early spring, and the roads are covered with a variety of plants, all of which are sprouting, and when you look at them, they're all green, making you feel good at home.

"You see, we have to walk for at least more than ten days this way!"

Yi Tiancheng shook his head with a smile while looking around vigilantly.

Zhang Tie nodded his head, the war horse can run, but the carriage full of materials cannot, the speed of the carriage, an adult trot can catch up.

"Stop!"

When the sky was completely bright, Yi Tiancheng gave an order, and all the carriages and war horses stopped.

"One team is on guard, the rest are eating, and the second team is replacing one team after eating!"

Yi Tiancheng commanded, a small group of people jumped off their horses, immediately ran away, surrounded all the carriages in a defensive circle from afar, and began to be vigilant.

Yi Tiancheng also changed his previous style, took out some dry food and water, and ate it.

"In the past six months, there has been no luck!"

Yi Tiancheng shook his head and gulped down the dry food in his hand.

"Over there?"

Zhang Tie ate dry food and looked around. There is no shadow of Duanmu City here, and I don't know where it is. Suddenly, he saw a lot of white smoke floating not far ahead.

"Everyone, get on the horse and go!"

When Zhang Tie pointed over there, Yi Tiancheng gave an order, and all the guards who were eating dry food were put away, and immediately sat on their war horses, and walked forward while being vigilant.

After a while, Zhang Tie and the others arrived at the place where the white smoke rose.

Zhang Tie's pupils shrank slightly!

Where the white smoke is, is a village. At this time, the village was full of burning houses and broken limbs.

"Go see if there's any alive!"

Yi Tiancheng was vigilant around, asked a few guards to go and check, and took out the spear behind his back and held it in his hand.

"My lord, there is no living mouth!"

After a while, the guards who checked the situation returned and said to Yi Tiancheng.

"Got it, keep going!"

Yi Tiancheng was expressionless, beckoned, and the group continued to set off forward.

On the carriage, Zhang Tie recalled the scene just now and said, "Brother Yi, who did that?"

If Zhang Tie is not mistaken, those limbs on the ground are all human!

"The monster did it!"

"Youkai?"

Zhang Tie was slightly stunned, and immediately recalled that the limbs on the ground indeed seemed to have been bitten by wild beasts!

"Yes, it's a youkai, if it's a robber, they usually won't slaughter the entire village!"

Yi Tiancheng showed a cold gaze in his eyes, and his voice was mixed with anger: "These damn beasts!"

After saying that, he punched the carriage and vented his emotions!

"You don't live outside Duanmu City, I don't know what kind of life the villagers in those villages live!"

Yi Tiancheng lowered his head, and his voice slowly became hoarse.

Under Zhang Tie's questioning, he learned from Yi Tiancheng. What kind of life are the villagers outside the city?

There are no tall walls, no great force.

The villagers outside the city need to be on guard against all kinds of dangers, monster attacks, and robber raids!

Robbers plunder, but generally looting material and wealth. But youkai are going to eat people!

As long as there is a monster attack, it is basically difficult for a village to stay alive!

Yi Tiancheng's parents were eaten by monsters! If he hadn't followed the others to Duanmu City that day, he would have died in the mouths of monsters.

Therefore, Yi Tiancheng can be said to hate monsters very much!

At this time, Zhang Tie finally knew why the 'slum' streets were dilapidated and the rent was expensive, and some people still managed to stay there.

Inside the city, at least safe!
