Chapter 2: The Iron Family
As this group of sand lizards got closer and closer, the city became clearer and clearer, Wang Yicheng saw clearly, this is indeed a city, the city wall is seven or eight meters high, dark and heavy, and there seem to be people walking around on it.
As the army of sand lizards approached the city, the men on the walls quickly spotted the enemy and slammed the walls with their iron weapons, making a clattering sound of metal clashing.
Wang Yicheng was very surprised, this city wall was dark and dull, not like it was made of stone, and listening to the sound of percussion, could it be made of iron, and the whole city was an iron city?
The giant lizard stayed a few hundred meters outside the city wall, making a sharp hissing sound from its mouth, and when it landed, hundreds of sand lizards swarmed up and rushed towards the city wall.
At this time, the sound of an alarm was heard on the city wall, and a dense crowd had already appeared. Wang Yicheng muttered in his heart, it seems that there are still a lot of people in this iron city? There are thousands of people on the city wall alone.
Looking closely, I saw that these people were all very strong men, with large pectoral muscles exposed on their naked chests, and their bodies were extremely fit.
Seeing the army of sand lizards rushing over, a shout erupted from the city wall, and then countless fireballs were thrown from the city wall. The sand lizard that smashed on the ground and was hit by the fireball hissed in pain.
Wang Yicheng narrowed his eyes, the people in this city really know how to spell, they are a group of monks, but this spell is too simple! It is all fire spells, and even the second form cannot be seen.
I saw that on the city wall, all kinds of fire-based spells kept falling, fireballs, fire walls, and fire meteors. The fires shone brightly in the pre-dawn darkness. Many of the sand lizards were scorched by the flames, and many more ran to the bottom of the walls. Their sharp claws allow them to grasp walls and climb upwards. When they reached the top of the city wall, the men on the city wall suddenly shouted together, followed by a row of large hammers, strikingly downward.
Wang Yicheng frowned, the spell is single, and the weapon is also single, how can it be all smashed with a big hammer, so many strong men smashing with a big hammer are really a spectacle.
At this moment, three figures flew out of the city and slowly flew towards the giant sand lizard. Two men and one woman, both of whom were in the foundation building period, one old man was in the middle stage of foundation building, and two young men and women were in the early stage of foundation building. The three men were like the men on the city walls, extremely strong, muscular, and dark-skinned, even the woman.
The three of them flew onto the giant sand lizard's head, and three large hammers slammed down, smashing into the monitor lizard's body with a booming sound. The monitor lizard had thick skin and flesh, and a thick carapace resembled a thick layer on its back. The hammer kept bombarding, and although it smashed off a lot of carapace, it didn't hit its body.
The monitor lizard let out a long hissing sound, then raised its huge head and "exhaled" a thick flame dozens of meters long, spraying towards the three of them. The three were nimble in the air, dodging the flames and then returning fire with fire-based spells.
"Flame Burst!" "Flame Slash!" kept beckoning to the monitor lizard, and the three of them fought with the monitor lizard for a long time, regardless of victory or defeat. The monitor lizard is better than the carapace and strong defense, while the three humans are more flexible, and no one can help the other.
After fighting for a while, suddenly the old man recited a mantra in his mouth, and the magic seal in his hand changed, and it seemed that he had used a big spell. The three of them flew backwards together, only to see countless huge flames in the sky, falling like meteors, forming a sea of fire on the ground, engulfing the monitor lizard in an instant.
This is a very high-level flame meteor in the second-level spell, it is powerful, although the monitor lizard has rough skin and thick flesh, it seems that it can't withstand it, and after letting out a sharp roar, it rushes forward.
"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and the huge body of the monitor lizard slammed into the city wall. The steel-cast walls shook and were knocked out into a deep pit.
A young man on the city wall stood unsteadily, and with a scream, he fell from the wall. Young men and women floating in the air flew over together to rescue them. Just then, a thick flame erupted from the monitor lizard, forcing them both out of the way.
The boy fell to the ground, and he was very clever, and the sledgehammer in his hand smashed in all directions, forcing several sand lizards to retreat, and turned around and ran towards the city wall. Suddenly, there was a scream, and a sand lizard came out of the sand, and its mouth bit the soles of his feet, dragging him under the sand.
The young man screamed and struggled hard, but where was the strength of the sand lizard, his body sank into the sand, and in the blink of an eye, he lost his waist. At this time, the monitor lizard kept spitting flames, and the sky was full of fire dragons, and the three foundation monks wanted to rescue, but they couldn't move forward.
Seeing that the boy's life was in danger, suddenly, a bright flash of light fell straight down from the sky, piercing deep into the sand, and in the sand, the sand lizard that bit the boy's ankle was cut into two pieces, and blood soaked the sand.
A figure flew down from the sky, grabbed the young man with one hand, and slowly flew up, it was Wang Yicheng.
When the monitor lizard saw that someone was saving people under its nose, it was furious, and a fire dragon erupted from its mouth, sweeping towards Wang Yicheng.
Wang Yicheng spread his wings behind his back, and the wind system flying technique turned continuously in the air, although he was holding a person, he was not cumbersome at all. In the gap of the fire dragon, fly straight into the sky.
The monitor lizard was furious, and suddenly its body stood upright, and with its sharp forelimbs and a large mouth more than ten feet long, it continued to bite in the air. Despite its large body, it is agile and powerful.
Wang Yicheng suddenly made a sharp turn, spared its big mouth, almost close to its mouth, and flew straight into the air. Flying to a height of nearly 100 meters, he swooped down, and kept shooting wind blades in his hands. These wind blades are also very powerful, but they only cut off pieces of carapace on the monitor lizard's body, and they can't hurt its body at all.
Seeing this, the three foundation building monks shouted together, "We're here to help you." Before the three of them could get closer, suddenly, a golden light shot out of Wang Yicheng's hand, and with a "boom", the back of the monitor lizard seemed to be plowed by a huge sharp blade, and a ravine several meters deep appeared. A deep wound was opened in the entire hard carapace, leaking out of the bright red flesh within. It is the power of the molten gold mirror.
The monitor lizard screamed, rolled on the ground, and plunged into the sand, its body was huge, but it was very fast in the sand, and the huge body writhed a few times, and disappeared into the sand. Wang Yicheng wanted to attack again with the molten gold mirror, but it was too late.
The monitor lizard fled, and the little sand lizard besieging the iron city broke up and fled in all directions, burrowing into the sand and disappearing.
Wang Yicheng put away the molten gold mirror and carried the young man to the city slowly. The young man's foot was bitten and fleshy, but it was not life-threatening. Several of his clansmen ran over and picked them up to treat him.
The three foundation building immortal masters landed from the sky and saluted together, thanking Wang Yicheng for his help.
These three foundation building immortal masters are all surnamed Tie, the older one is called Tie Dahe, and the young men and women are his sons and daughters called Tie Gang and Tie Rou.
Wang Yicheng followed them down from the city wall, only to see that the city was full of people, men, women and children, obviously a clan.
Tie Dahe walked and introduced that their Tie clan was originally a big family living in the central continent, hundreds of years ago, because of family infighting, the ancestor of the Tie family took their clan into the quicksand land to avoid trouble, this avoidance is hundreds of years, and since then it has taken root in the desert.
Wang Yicheng took a closer look at the city and saw that the houses were built very neatly, but the material was not stone or wood, but all iron plates. When you step on it, it's also very hard, and it's actually an iron plate. Not only are the walls of the city made of iron, but the floors of the houses are all made of iron, which is a real spectacle.
Tie Rou seemed to see Wang Yicheng's thoughts, and said with a smile: "There is an iron ore vein underground here, we use local materials, and everything can only be built with iron." Although Tie Rou is a woman, she is also as strong as a man, with dark skin, and when she laughs, she shows a mouthful of snow-white teeth, which reminds Wang Yicheng of the black Africans on the earth in her previous life.
Wang Yicheng looked at the scorching sun in the sky, a little speechless, this steel city, can it still live under this high temperature and exposure?
Tie Rou smiled, "Our clansmen are almost all blacksmiths, and the exercises we practice are also fire-based exercises, so we are not afraid of heat." ”
"Blacksmith!" Wang Yicheng immediately became interested and asked, "Are you all refiners?"
"Yes. We are all first-level refiners, and we can refine all kinds of magic weapons. We traded the refined magic artifacts with the market in the center of the continent in exchange for various daily necessities. Tie Rou said.
Wang Yicheng looked around, but there was no blacksmith shop in the houses on the street, and he did not hear the sound of clanging iron.
"Hehe, what are you looking for? where we refine our weapons is ......"
"Rou'er, you go and prepare the food and entertain the guests. Tie Dahe interrupted his daughter silently.
In the evening, the Tie family invited Wang Yicheng to a banquet, looking at the food on the table, Wang Yicheng had completely lost his appetite, and several large plates were full of sand lizard meat. It seems that the life of these people of the Tie family is also very hard. Liquor is a strong liquor, and when you drink it, it seems like a flame is burning in your mouth, and when you swallow it, it looks like a line of fire from your mouth to your chest.
There were seven or eight men from the Tie family at the same table, including Tie Rou, but they were all drinking in large bowls, eating meat in large pieces, and their styles were very heroic.
During the banquet, Tie Dahe personally toasted, thanking Wang Yicheng for his help, and also saved the children of the Tie family, if there is a need for the Tie family's place, just ask.
Wang Yicheng's heart moved, and he said, "I want to learn refining tools from you, okay?"
"This ......," Tie Dahe had a deep look on his face.
Tie Rou smiled, "Okay! I'll teach you." ”
"I don't know where Childe is, why did he come to this desolate desert?"
Tie Dahe didn't say yes, nor did he say no, but when he interrogated Wang Yicheng's origin.
After the banquet was dispersed, Tie Rou asked anxiously: "Father, Wang Gongzi is a good person, he said that he wants to learn refining tools, why don't you agree?"
Tie Dahe groaned and said: "His origin is very suspicious, he can cultivate to the foundation building period, he should be a disciple of the Great Gate Sect or the family, but he came with us to learn refining weapons." We're in the middle of nowhere, and it's hard for a traveler who travels through the quicksand to find us, but he can find it, and I suspect that he might be a spy sent by the family for something like us. ”
