After Han Li and Shi Chuankong had a few casual conversations, they stopped talking and continued to move silently with the team.

After advancing a few hundred zhang further, the sound of the wind and sand gradually decreased a little, and the huge shadow that I had seen in the wind and sand before also began to appear, and it was two towering black peaks standing next to each other.

On top of the two peaks, the rock protrudes, the surface is pitted, and there are holes of different sizes eroded by the wind everywhere.

Han Li raised his eyes and saw that a huge canyon had formed between the two peaks, and in the middle of the canyon was a black castle that was more than hundreds of zhang high.

The fort was rugged in style, with three large domed bunkers above, separated by two sections of walled roadways, and a thick, tall black wall below.

When Han Li and his party entered the canyon area, the wind and sand were almost blocked by the mountain peaks and castles, which was much easier.

Outside the city gate, Chenyang took off the cotton cloth on his face, shook off the dust, came to a stone platform outside the city gate, raised a palm, and slapped it on a bronze bell hanging on it.

"Knock ......"

As a thick and distant bell rang, a hole suddenly opened above the door of the city wall, and several figures appeared inside and looked outside for a while, and a voice shouted: "It's Captain Chenyang who is back, open the door." ”

After this sound came, a rumbling sound sounded inside the city wall, and with a burst of machine sounds, two extremely thick black city gates slowly opened inward.

"Brother Li, Brother Shi, let's go. Chenyang walked back, greeted Han Li and them, and said with a smile.

The team slowly entered the castle, and the stone door behind them closed again.

When Han Li walked into the castle, he found that the situation inside was not quite what he had thought.

The area in the castle is quite large, the radius is hundreds of zhang, and there is a huge brazier hanging on the wall every few zhang, and I don't know what kind of grease of foreign beasts is contained in it, and there is no smoke when it burns, but there is a faint fishy smell in the middle.

The castle has a large amount of space, which is occupied by various gears, and in the middle are three huge stone pillars, on which three stone stairs hover, separating the three fortresses on the city walls.

There are no longer a few people coming and going in the castle, and they are all busy, and Chenyang's subordinates are pulling all kinds of strange beasts towards the right side of the castle.

Han Li and the others stood in the hall, and soon two demon men in crimson robes, each holding a thick book in one hand and a cinnabar-stained brush in the other, walked up.

Chenyang seemed to be very familiar with these two people, with a smile on his face, and took the initiative to greet him.

"Captain Chenyang, it looks like you've gained a lot this time?" said one of the round-faced men with the tip of a sword on his eyebrows, smiling.

"Thanks to the blessings of the two reciprocators, this time fortunately they did not return empty-handed. Chenyang smiled.

Another warden with long ears and a square face, with a somewhat indifferent expression on his face, looked at Han Li and the three of them coldly, and asked:

"The three of them, are they obedient or subordinate?"

"They are the guests I invited back, and they are also going to join our Qingyang City, as for which one...... I'll wait until I meet the lord of the castle. Chenyang's face was slightly embarrassed, and then he said.

"According to the rules, the first thing after entering the city should be the evaluation level, Captain Chenyang is afraid that it is a little inappropriate to do this, right?" said the square-faced reciprocal officer, frowning.

Seeing this, another reciprocal officer hurriedly came out to be a peacemaker, pulled the sleeve of his colleague, and said:

"Captain Chenyang, aren't you at ease? He's one of the most important hunting captains of the city lord. He said that he would wait until he met the city lord to make an evaluation, and he didn't say he wouldn't do it, and it didn't hurt to wait. ”

The square-faced representer could hear that the round-faced representer had obviously accentuated his tone when he said the words "the most important", obviously deliberately reminding him, so he no longer insisted.

"If that's the case, there's no harm in postponing it. The square-faced warden said.

"Then thank you to the two recorders, the capture of this hunt has been brought back, and I have to bother the two to count, this little caution, please accept it. Chenyang said with a grateful smile.

As he spoke, his palm reached over and handed over the two beast cores hidden in his sleeve.

The round-faced warden smiled and said, "It's okay, you're too polite," and quietly took it.

"After that, I will go to meet the city lord and arrange for you to rest first. After they left, Chenyang turned around and walked back to Han Li's side, smiling.

"Who are those two?" Han Li asked, frowning slightly.

"They are the two wardens in Qingyang City, responsible for recording the harvest of the hunting team and registering the new citizens who have entered the city. Chenyang glanced at the backs of the two and replied.

"What do they mean by submitting to the people and surrendering to the people?" Han Li continued to ask.

"Brother Li's ear is outstanding, Shunmin and Minmin are different levels of people in the city, Shunmin has a higher status, can join the city defense team or hunting team, and can obtain more resources. The status of the people is lower, they can only do some miscellaneous labor, and they can enjoy a lot less resources. Chenyang explained.

"The assessment that the warden said was used to divide grades, right?" Han Li nodded and asked again.

"Haha, let's talk as we go......" Chenyang said with a hearty smile.

With that, he should take the lead and lead Han Li and the three of them towards the left side of the castle.

Han Li and Shi Chuankong glanced at each other and slowly followed.

"According to the rules of Qingyang City, newcomers entering the city must be evaluated, and after determining the level, they must be recorded in the register, and then they can be assigned according to different levels. However, I have seen your strength with my own eyes, so I want to report to the city lord and directly bring you under my command, I don't think you want to be separated, right?" Chenyang said as he walked.

"In this way, wouldn't it break the rules of the city?" Shi Chuankong asked with a frown.

"Rules are dead, people are alive. If, after the evaluation, those scribes follow the normal procedure and assign you to other hunting teams, then wouldn't I have suffered too much loss? Chenyang waved his hand and said.

"It doesn't hurt. Han Li shook his head and said.

"Brother Li, don't worry, with your strength, I think it won't be long before you can become the new captain of the hunting team, don't forget my friendship at that time, haha......" Chenyang glanced at Han Li deeply and said with a smile.

As they spoke, the four of them passed through three stone arches and came to a circular arch hole carved into the mountain.

Han Li glanced at it, only to realize that this so-called Qingyang City had actually been carved out of the mountains of these two peaks.

In the round arch cave, there is a humanoid stone statue more than ten feet high, the appearance looks a little similar to the human race, there are no wings or scales outside the body, but the face is very blurry, which makes people not real.

"Could this be the statue of the City Lord you were talking about?" Han Li wondered.

"Brother Li, you guessed wrong, the age of this statue is extremely far away, even older than this Qingyang City, who is carved by it, even our Qingyang City City Lord does not know, I am afraid that except for the Xuancheng City Lord Er, there are not many people who know the details. Chenyang stopped and glanced at the statue and said casually.

"It's okay, I'm just asking. Han Li said.

"The left peak of Qingyang City is divided into four layers, and the layer we are on is the casting and refining layer, which is the place where all the armor and blades in this city are cast, and it is also the place where all kinds of beasts and Qi Dan are refined. Most of the armor blades and elixirs, after refining, belong to the city lord alone, and he is in charge of the distribution and use. Only a few will circulate, and it will be sold in the few shops in the city. Chenyang recounted.

"What about the rest?" Shi asked again, glancing overhead.

"The upper floor is where the people live, the upper two floors are the places where the people live, and the top floor is where the lord's mansion is located. Later, you go to my mansion to rest, and I have to go and see the city lord. Chenyang continued.

"That's a nuisance. Han Li immediately clenched his fists and laughed.

After that, Chenyang took the three of them to take a brief tour of the ground floor, and then went up a spiraling staircase all the way to the third floor.

The third floor is obviously much smaller, and there are not as many people as the next two floors, but a wide passage stretches out, and you can see the entrances opened up by the caves along the way.

Chenyang's cave is in the middle of the passage, and the area of the house is not small, which belongs to the better one of all the caves.

Han Li and the others followed Chenyang into the mansion, and immediately a woman and three men greeted him and saluted respectfully.

The men among the four were all dressed as servants, only the woman's clothes were a little different, although the color was also a monotonous blue-gray, but it was cut very well, and her graceful figure was completely set off.

However, some fly in the ointment is that this woman's appearance can only be regarded as average, not outstanding.

"They are also considered to be subjugated, but they are my private property, if you are interested, you may as well have fun with my maidservant, you must know that here, women are scarce resources, and it is not easy to monopolize one. Chenyang's gaze swept over the woman unscrupulously for a while, and said bluntly.

"I don't have the heart to travel for a long time, so I'd better rest first. Han Li smiled and politely declined his kindness.

"Then you will go to the guest room to rest first, and after I have met the lord of the city, I will come and entertain you. Chenyang clenched his fists slightly and said.

Han Li and the three of them immediately returned the salute with their fists clasped.

"A few of you, take care of the three distinguished guests. After Chenyang solemnly commanded, he turned around and left.

The ordinary-looking bewitching woman stepped forward to confess, twisted her waist like a water snake, and led Han Li and the three of them along the corridors in the mansion to their respective guest rooms.

After he left, Shi Chuankong and the Crab Dao people left their guest room one after another and came to Han Li's side.

After closing the stone door of the hospitality room, the two of them sat down in front of Han Li around a stone table.
