Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Strange City
Zhang Tie rode a horse and galloped on the grass, looking at the scenery of the rapid retreat on both sides, and he was in a very happy mood.
In a small mountain village, he found the Chubby family.
To his surprise, Chubby is not only married, but also has a white fat son!
When he saw Zhang Tie again, he anxiously told the Wang family about looking for him. After hearing that the head of the Wang family had been killed by Zhang Tie and that the Wang family had almost perished, Xiaopang was completely stunned.
Zhang Tie took out the Wang family's immortal method and asked Xiaopang to try it.
It's a pity that Xiaopang tried for more than a month, but he couldn't cultivate at all. However, Xiaopang is also open-minded, and if he can't cultivate, he won't cultivate.
According to his words, if he can't cultivate, maybe his son can, his son can't, and he has a grandson. For generations, there can always be someone who can cultivate!
It's a pity that Xiaopang is not willing to return to Duanmu City to live after getting married.
Everyone has their own life, and Zhang Tie doesn't want to interfere too much.
Leave him a bottle of Yuan Liquid, tell him that if there is anything to do to find Liu Xinghe in the training camp in Duanmu City, he left the small mountain village.
After traveling all the way north for more than ten days, Zhang Tie didn't know where he was at all.
Liu Xinghe didn't know where the Split Mountain Sword Sect was, but only knew where it was in the north of Duanmu City.
Zhang Tie could only go north on one side, and when he encountered a larger city in the future, he would go in and inquire, believing that someone would always know the location of the Split Mountain Sword Sect.
After all, the Split Mountain Sword Sect is a very large sect!
After riding the horse for half a day, Zhang Tie was a little tired, so he simply jumped off the horse, hunted a fat hare nearby, and made a fire to get himself something to eat.
After a while, he was leisurely leaning against a large tree, eating a hare while looking at the sky.
This kind of free and easy life makes him enjoy it very much.
"That's?"
In the distance, a thick cloud of black smoke drew his gaze. Zhang Tie threw away the hare in his hand and rode his horse towards this side.
"Damn!"
When he reached the place where the black smoke was, Zhang Tie hammered his fist into the wall of a house.
Not far away, broken limbs and burning houses are everywhere.
Don't think about it, it must have been a youkai who did it!
Along the way, Zhang Tie can encounter this kind of thing from time to time. For this kind of monster that attacks human villages, Zhang Tie kills as many as he wants!
The Sword Immortal Inheritance states that whoever inherits it must kill demons and demons!
After looking around, there was not a single living mouth on the ground! Ordinary monsters attack human villages, and rarely leave a living mouth.
Riding a horse, Zhang Tie continued on the road. The scene just now ruined all his originally happy mood.
As he walked, Zhang Tie saw a few small black dots in front of him.
After the distance was shortened, Zhang Tie realized that they were several ragged humans.
When those people saw Zhang Tie, they hurriedly moved out of the way, lowered their heads, and didn't dare to look at Zhang Tie.
"What are you?"
Zhang Tie jumped off the horse, walked over to them, and asked.
He noticed that there were several teenage children in it. Even from afar, you can hear the sound of several children's stomachs growling.
After thinking about it, Zhang Tie rummaged on the horse. He remembered that when he left Duanmu City, he seemed to be carrying some dry food.
It's just that he slaughtered wild beasts all the way, and he didn't touch those dry foods at all.
"Found it!"
Sure enough, after a while, Zhang Tie turned out a few boxes. When the box is opened, it is full of all kinds of exquisite pastries.
With his status in Duanmu City, how could it be a very bad thing to prepare dry food for him as others said?
Holding a box of pastries, Zhang Tie walked up to several children, handed the pastries to them, and said, "Eat when you're hungry!"
Several children looked at the pastry, swallowed their saliva, and looked at Zhang Tie carefully. Seeing Zhang Tie smiling and nodding his head, several children immediately stretched out Wuhai's palms and grabbed those pastries.
After a while, the sound of swallowing food was all around.
Even the adults around the children swallowed their saliva.
"Wait a minute!"
A few boxes of pastries can't satisfy even a few children. Zhang Tie looked at their hungry appearance and turned to leave.
After a while, he returned with a large wild boar on his shoulder.
Fortunately, this is the wild, and there are still a lot of beasts!
The wild boar was quickly disposed of, and then a fire was made and grilled. As the wild boar was roasted, all of them drooled.
"Come and eat!"
Zhang Tie ripped off one of his hind legs, pointed to the remaining wild boar, and beckoned to them.
It may be that the smell of the food is too tempting, and they don't care about anything else, so they stumble over, and they don't care whether the boar is hot or not, they tear off the meat strips and stuff them into their mouths.
Zhang Tie shook his head while eating the hind legs in his hands.
A few people may be really hungry, a whole wild boar, about two hundred pounds of weight, it didn't take long for only bones left.
Even the meat scraps on the bones were eaten clean by them!
"Thank you...... Thank you, sir!"
A slight voice came from Zhang Tie's ears, and when he turned around, he saw a very small girl, kneeling on the ground, thanking herself.
After the girl knelt on the ground, everyone else knelt on the ground and thanked Zhang Tie.
"All up, all up!"
Zhang Tie shouted at them and reached out to pull the children up.
Looking at their cautious appearance, Zhang Tie couldn't help but ask again, "What's wrong with you?"
Several people glanced at each other and looked at Zhang Tie, and one of the men spoke: "My lord, our village was attacked by monsters, and we are the ones who survived!"
"Youkai again!"
Zhang Tie slammed his fist to the ground, his face full of anger.
Along the way, he didn't know how many villages he had encountered, and they had been slaughtered by youkai.
These people were able to survive the attack of the monsters. It seems that they are quite lucky!
"What's next for you?"
Zhang Tie put away his anger and asked them.
"We're going to head to a city ahead, it's too dangerous on the outskirts!"
The man held the children in his hands as he spoke.
"How far is the city?"
Zhang Tie showed surprise on his face and looked at the man, he had been walking for so long and had encountered the city for the first time.
If there is a city, he can inquire about the news, and Zhang Tie immediately decided to go to the city to check it out.
"I don't know how far it is, but it will take about five or six days!"
The man shook his head and replied to Zhang Tiedao.
"Five or six days, I'll be with you!"
Zhang Tie looked at them with a smile and said to them.
"Ahh
When the man heard this, he immediately quickly nodded his head. The suburbs are dangerous, and there are only so many left of their group from the time they set out to the present.
He looked at Zhang Tie, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and a tall horse, which looked like a strong man. With such strong people following, they will be much safer!
Zhang Tie followed them and continued to move forward.
Along the way, Zhang Tie learned that those children were not men's children. Most of the children were children who had escaped the catastrophe by hiding outside the village.
And the man himself, who happened to go out to work, escaped the catastrophe.
The man told Zhang Tie that there were other people who were working with him at that time. But along the way, only he and these children were left.
No way, the suburbs are not only monsters.
Beasts, too, have to eat.
Humans like them, who have no force and can't run fast, are the best targets for beasts.
Five or six days later, Zhang Tie saw a city in front of him from a long distance.
After walking a little longer, the man and the children all cheered, and they also saw the faint city!
After getting really close to the city, Zhang Tie immediately felt strange.
The city in front of you is about the same size as Duanmu City. However, its walls are very strange.
The walls are very high, estimated to be about ten meters old, and the walls are covered with dense and sharp metal.
What's even more strange is that those dense metal are slightly bent, and they are all facing the city!
Zhang Tieyi stopped the excited man and the children, and asked, "Do you really know this city?"
The city in front of him gave him a very bad feeling.
The man was slightly stunned, looked at Zhang Tie and replied with a smile: "It's not wrong, someone from our village has come to this city before, and told us that this city needs a lot of labor. That's why I brought my children here, and we all have the strength, and we don't starve to death in the city!"
After the man said this, Zhang Tie couldn't stop it. He nodded his head and said to the man, "Let's separate here!"
He decided to observe it before entering, this city gave him a very bad feeling!
The man took the children, thanked Zhang Tie again, said goodbye to Zhang Tie, and walked into the city.
Zhang Tie stood in the distance and began to observe the city.
One day and two days......
Zhang Tie found a very strange thing, in the city, there are many different people entering the city every day.
However, for so many days, no one left the city.
Curious, Zhang Tie circled around the city.
After turning around, I felt even more strange. There is only one gate in that city.
Like Duanmu City, it has four gates. The city in front of me is about the same size as Duanmu City, and there is only one city gate.
"Can't get in?"
Zhang Tie began to hesitate, the city in front of him did not give him a very good feeling, but this city was the first city he encountered along the way.
"Enter!"
Zhang Tie immediately made a decision, the city in front of him was about the same size as Duanmu City. I believe that even if there are people who cultivate immortal methods in it, their strength will not be stronger than the previous Duanmu City Lord.
Practicing the twelfth layer of qi, even if you can't fight yourself, you can escape.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tie led the horse and walked towards the city gate.
Entering the city was easy, and there was no one to stop it.
The scene inside the city made Zhang Tie a little strange, it stands to reason that this city is about the same size as Duanmu City, and it is not night at this time, but there is no pedestrian on the street!
Zhang Tie led the horses and walked down the street, looking around at the surrounding shops, although the doors were open, there was no one inside.
After walking for a long time, Zhang Tie found a restaurant that was still open. Tie the horse to the door of the restaurant, Zhang Tie walked into the restaurant.
In a huge restaurant, except for a guy on the counter, there is not a single customer.
Even that guy looked surprised when he saw Zhang Tie.
"Can I stay here?"
Seeing that it was getting late outside, Zhang Tie thought that he would stay for one night first, and wait until tomorrow morning to come out to inquire about the news.
In a city, the busiest time is basically in the morning.
Zhang Tie didn't believe it, it was still empty in the morning.
"You can stay in the hotel, which one do you want to stay?"
The guy tilted his head, looked at Zhang Tie with some impatience, and spit out a sentence.
"Does it make a difference?"
Zhang Tie looked at the guy suspiciously, isn't it just to stay for one night, there are many kinds?
"Do you really not understand or do you not understand?"
Unexpectedly, after Zhang Tie asked, the guy turned his head impatiently and faced Zhang Tie, his face full of impatience.
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Tie's face was full of frost, and he was very dissatisfied with the guy in front of him.
"Ah, you're not a resident of this city?"
After the guy was facing Zhang Tie, he quickly looked at Zhang Tie, and then asked in surprise.
"I'm from out of town, what's the problem?"
Zhang Tie frowned, feeling that the guy in front of him had changed too quickly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
The guy nodded at Zhang Tie, and then became very polite: "We can stay in the restaurant, and the back is the place where the store is lived, and the guest officer can't live?"
Zhang Tie shook his head, too lazy to bother with him, so he asked, "How much is a night?"
"A tael of silver for a night!"
The guy kept bending over and was very polite to Zhang Tie.
"And what do you mean by that?"
Zhang Tie asked as he took out the money.
"Did I say that?"
The guy didn't admit what he said before, but smiled and said to Zhang Tie: "It must be that the guest officer heard it wrong!"
"Take me there!"
Zhang Tie shook his head, too lazy to bother with the guy in front of him, handed over a tael of silver, and commanded.
The guy nodded yes and led the way ahead. I walked out of the restaurant and walked in through the small courtyard next to it.
Since there was a courtyard, Zhang Tie led the horses at the gate in.
In the courtyard, there are a total of three rows of rooms, and each row of rooms is separated by a distance of five meters.
Zhang Tie walked into the courtyard and saw the back row of rooms at a glance, the outer walls of which seemed to be made of steel.
"Man, what's that house for?"
Zhang Tie pointed to the last row of houses and asked the guy in front of him.
"That, that's the storeroom of the restaurant!"
The guy didn't know how to look up, explained to Zhang Tie, and then brought Zhang Tie into a room.
"This is it!"
With that, the man got out of the way and turned to leave. As he left, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sneer.
