Chapter 29: Jingyuan City
At the beginning of the scorching sun, the Aoki team greeted the guards, and they were standing outside the gate of Jingyuan City, as if they were waiting for some important person.
After a while, the men and horses outside the city screamed, the iron armor was bright, and a group of iron horsemen flew from the direction of the Nanban, even in the process of hurrying, they still maintained a perfect battle formation.
These dozens of horses are all red-blooded horses, and the few people who are clustered in the center are even riding on the red-blooded horse king with a single horn, a fiery red body, and an extraordinary horse.
The leader was a middle-aged man, wearing chain mail, carrying a spear, his body was as dignified as a mountain, and there was a faint evil aura around him, obviously the souls who died under his guns were not few.
On the other red-blooded horse kings, there are a pair of golden boys and girls and a middle-aged beautiful woman, who seem to be a family with extraordinary origins.
The guards guarding the city were shocked, during this period of time, the Southern Barbarian Fierce Beasts rioted, and a large number of fierce beasts have been found gathering in several fierce beast mountain ranges, which is a sign that the beast tide is about to rise, and the team that goes out to hunt has become less and less, and now it is almost invisible, I didn't expect that someone came out of the fierce beast mountain range today, and there was more than one person.
The red-blooded horse's galloping speed was extremely fast, and it didn't take long for these dozens of people to approach the city gate, and they could already vaguely see the faces on their faces.
"It's the lord of the castle!"
"My subordinates pay a visit to the lord of the city. The two guards of the Fetal Palace Realm were startled at first, and then reacted quickly, kneeling on one knee with respect on their faces.
"Woohoo!"
A few feet away from the city gate, the group stopped and dismounted one after another, the lineup was neat, and there was no superfluous sound.
This is the Jingyuan Wei of Jingyuan City, the most elite place in the entire Jingyuan City, the Shentai Secret Realm is the entry threshold, and there are many top masters of the Five Elements Secret Realm, in order to deter Xiaoxiao and maintain the order of the entire Jingyuan City.
The two city defenders were full of longing, and it was the lifelong dream of these natives of Jingyuancheng to be able to join Jing Yuanwei, but Jing Yuanwei's screening was extremely strict, and he could only apply if he reached the secret realm of Shentai, and he might not be able to pass, and he needed to be investigated and tested.
"Lord City, what is the situation in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, is it a small range of beast tides or a large area?" The captain of Aoki's team is also a middle-aged man, with black hair and a shawl, and what is surprising is that his pupils are cyan, which is different from ordinary people, and those eyes look at it, even the monks of Jing Yuanwei are shocked.
"It is estimated that there is a large-scale beast tide, and the fierce beasts in the depths of the nearby Southern Wilderness have rioted, and I am afraid that the beast tide will come in these three or two days. The city lord of Jingyuan City glanced at the two guards, did not deliberately conceal it, and talked eloquently, bringing together the results of the investigation during this time.
"What about the cause of the beast tide?" asked Aoki, a dark cloud of doubt on his face.
The so-called "beast tide" is just some ordinary fierce beasts because of their strong reproductive ability, coupled with the horror of the depths of the Southern Barbarians, the strong people above the habitat of the human race cannot be wantonly cleared, and every once in a while they have to attack the nearby human cities because of the excessive number of ordinary fierce beasts, and initiate suicidal behavior, so that the number of fierce beasts is controlled in a delicate balance line.
After all, although the territory of the Southern Barbarians is vast, the place is so big, and the territory concept of high-level fierce beasts is extremely strong, so naturally ordinary fierce beasts will not be allowed to occupy their own territory, which has caused a situation where there are many beasts and few places, and whenever this time, high-level fierce beasts will invariably induce those ordinary fierce beasts who have not yet opened their minds to launch a semi-suicidal attack on the human city.
Jingyuan City is adjacent to the Southern Wilderness, and naturally it will also encounter attacks from the Southern Barbarian Beasts, once every ten years, a small beast tide, the highest level of the fierce beast is the elite level, and the large beast tide occurs once every hundred years, not only the number of elite-level fierce beasts will soar, and even overlord-level fierce beasts will appear.
It has only been fifty years since the last large-scale beast tide occurred, and according to the previous rate of ferocious beast reproduction, it will take at least fifty years before another large-scale beast tide is launched, but now there are a large number of fierce beasts gathering on the periphery of the ferocious beast mountain range, and there has been a riot, as if another large-scale beast tide is brewing.
There must be a demon when things go wrong, which is also the reason why Tang Yu, the city lord of Jingyuan City, personally led a team out of the city to investigate this time.
"Boom"
Suddenly, in the depths of the Southern Wilderness, a huge fierce bird appeared, its wings covering the sky and the sun, fighting with an old man, while on the other side, a palm-sized blue bird appeared, and it was a terrifying creature with the head of a sphin.
The four terrifying beings were fighting, their realm level was beyond everyone's imagination, and even a powerful immortal realm cultivator like the Jingyuan City Lord was trembling.
Jingyuan City, all the human races living in this city panicked, and witnessed this shocking battle, in the end, these four terrifying existences were far away, and the battlefield was transferred to other places, leaving only a city of stunned people.
"That's the reason for this beast tide, now you understand. Jingyuan City Lord Tang Yu smiled bitterly.
Aoki was also shocked for a long time, and then sighed in a low voice, "This is really a fight between immortals, and mortals suffer." ”
Just when the group was shocked, the girl who was holding the little hand by the middle-aged beauty suddenly said crisply: "Daddy, you see that big rock can walk by itself"
This sentence immediately woke up everyone who had not yet recovered from the shock, and at the same time turned their heads to look at the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, after all, they had just witnessed such a terrible battle, and now suddenly there was a "stone" that could walk on their own, and they would naturally be as cautious as a frightened bird.
I saw that on the horizon in the direction of another fierce beast mountain range, a rock several meters high came into everyone's field of vision, and it was speeding towards Jingyuan City.
"Stones can also walk, what kind of beast is this?" the middle-aged beautiful woman covered her mouth and exclaimed, her eyes full of surprise.
"It's a teenager!" Aoki shot two blue lights in his eyes, and instantly saw the Terran boy under the boulder, who was carrying the rock towards Jingyuan City.
It's no wonder that the boulder is several meters high, and it is carried by the boy on his back, the sun shines from behind, and the shadow of the boulder covers the boy, plus the distance is far away, so he naturally sees the boulder first, but ignores the boy running under the boulder.
The young man was wearing an ordinary green shirt, and there were several broken places on it, and when he was approaching Jingyuan City, he stopped, looked around, and looked like a countryman entering the city, his eyes were full of curiosity.
This young man carrying a boulder is Xia Mu, who has just arrived in Jingyuan City after driving for several days in a row.
Xia Mu set out from the Fierce Beast Mountain Range and traveled all the way to the east, heading straight for the largest city in the southwest of Dongzhou.
On the way, he not only encountered tribes with a population of only a few thousand, but also went to the deserted mountains, but he did not encounter any danger on the way, the only accident was when he was sleeping in a certain mountainous area, he encountered an elite-level fierce beast, and the result naturally became Xia Mu's meal.
Along the way, he was carrying a boulder, which really attracted the attention of many people, and some people even asked about the origin of this boulder, but they were all prevaricated by Xia Mu's strength exercise, and he came to Jingyuan City all the way, and appeared at the gate of this city facing the southern wilderness.
The first impression of this city to Xia Mu was that it was too magnificent, the stone city wall was more than thirty zhang high, and on the city wall, there was a tower more than ten zhang high every more than ten zhang, which made the whole city look majestic and magnificent.
Moreover, on these tall city walls, there are also many complicated runes, which Xia Mu has never seen before, which contains incredible power, once activated, I am afraid that the extermination of the sub-elite level fierce beast will only be wiped out with a raise of his hand, and it cannot be simpler.
It is really the largest city in the southwest of Dongshu, and such a tall city, even in today's Kyushu, can only be compared to the national capital.
However, Xia Mu also noticed the group of strange monks at the gate of the city, except for a few people, they were all wearing uniform spirit armor, and their cultivation aura was very strong, and Xia Mu couldn't figure out what realm they were in.
Xia Mu looked at all this with his eyes squinted slightly, and while he was thinking about it in his heart, the leader in chain mail spoke first:
"Little brother, but you're from the Qiankun Holy Courtyard?"
Aoki had already retracted his gaze at this time, and through some scrutiny just now, he had already decided in his heart that this young man with a boulder on his back had only cultivated to the realm of enlightenment, and most of them were disciples who had come out of the Qiankun Holy Academy to practice, such a young man would appear in Jingyuan City every year, but most of them were led by the elders, or several or dozens of people walked together, and it was the first time that a strange young man like Xia Mu who was alone and carrying a boulder was seen for the first time.
"Hello sir, the junior's name is Xia Mu, and he came out to practice with the elder, but the elder said halfway that he wanted to visit a friend nearby and let me go on the road first. Xia Mu replied truthfully, although he was dusty along the way, his green shirt was quite neat, especially the clean handsome face and bright eyes, which made people feel his sincerity.
Everyone nodded, feeling that it should be so, the cultivation of the Enlightenment Realm wanted to experience alone in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, it was still a little unrealistic, unless there were elders to follow, otherwise it would be easy to lose their lives.
"Hehe, this city lord also has some friendship with some of the elders of your Qiankun Holy Academy, I don't know which elder Xiaoyou is worshipping in?" Jingyuan City Lord Tang Yu asked quietly.
Hearing this, Xia Mu was taken aback at first, he didn't expect that this middle-aged man turned out to be the city lord of Jingyuan City, and immediately said "respectfully": "The junior is not talented, worship under Elder Han Feng, I don't know if the city lord knows?"
"Elder Han Feng!" Jingyuan City Lord's fingers trembled slightly, and then laughed: "Naturally, I have heard of it for a long time, but I didn't expect Xiaoyou to be favored by Elder Han Feng, it seems that the talent must be extraordinary, but the beast tide is about to occur in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range in the past few days, if Xiaoyou does not dislike it, he can temporarily live in the City Lord's Mansion, and it is not too late to continue to travel after the beast tide has passed." ”
"Beast tide?" Xia Mu was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the large number of ordinary fierce beasts that suddenly emerged in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range a few days ago, and couldn't help but clench his fists and said, "Since this is the case, then the juniors will bother." ”
"Haha, you're welcome, our Tang Kingdom has been friends with the Qiankun Sacred Academy for generations, so you don't need to worry about this little thing, but the weight of this boulder on your back doesn't seem to be light!" Jing Yu had already probed the boulder with his divine sense in advance, and he didn't see any clues.
"The city lord's eyes are like a torch, although this boulder is not large, but the weight is not light, it is used by the younger generation to practice strength. Of course, Xia Mu wouldn't say that because there was an egg hidden in it, the weight was not light, and it was directly inferred that the boulder texture itself was like this.
Tang Yu nodded, and then the city lord of Jingyuan City didn't ask anything more, and let one of the Jing Yuanwei leaders lead the way first, leading Xia Mu to the City Lord's Mansion.
When Xia Mu disappeared from everyone's sight, the smile on the face of the city lord of Jingyuan City retracted, and there was a contemplative look in his eyes.
