"I'm afraid there's nothing we can do."
Cui Jian couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, and then said: "Just a few days ago, someone had the idea of Heiyan Earth Heart Fire, and chose to use money to target Lord Ma's cronies. It is said that they managed to get in, but the second time
When he and his cronies who were targeted were found on the street the next day, their hands and feet were chopped off, their eyes were gouged out, and their tongues were cut out."
Cui Jian couldn't help but feel frightened when he talked about that guy's miserable condition.
To lose one's limbs in Yandi City would be even crueler than death.
If you lose your limbs, you need someone to take care of you.
But who would support a burden?
What the officials did was simply to make him unable to live or die, and then used this to warn the people in the city not to think of using other methods to obtain the right to use the Black Flame Earth's Heart Fire.
"Who is this Lord Ma you are talking about?" Su Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, this brother, this is your first time coming to Yandi City, so you may not know Lord Ma."
Cui Jian smiled and explained: "This Lord Ma, his name is Ma Zuliang. He is the prefect of Yandi City. Everything in this city naturally obeys his orders."
"And the government is responsible for leasing the use of the Black Flame Earth Core Fire."
"But just a month ago, the government stopped leasing the use rights of the Black Flame Earth Core Fire to external parties and left it to the government to operate it itself."
Su Yu frowned slightly and couldn't help but said: "Then do you know what the government is doing by occupying the Black Flame Earth's Heart Fire? For example, is it making some weapons or something?"
Cui Jian shook his head, and then said with a wry smile: "I don't know about this. The government is extremely strict."
"Even the blacksmiths hired by the government are only responsible for making iron embryos."
"As for what type of tools these iron embryos will be made into, even these blacksmiths have no way of knowing."
"However, this Black Flame Earth Core Fire is only used to make various weapons. It is probably because of the large quantity that the government had to stop leasing it to external parties."
Since the government canceled the lease rights to external parties, many blacksmith shops in Yandi City had to close their doors, and then they were hired by the government with high salaries to become part of the iron embryo making industry.
This also caused the martial arts warriors who came to Yandi City to use the Black Flame Earth Core Fire to make weapons complain, but they had no choice but to leave.
Do you still dare to go against the government?
Su Yu couldn't help but be a little curious. What was the purpose of the government having full control over the use of the Black Flame Earth's Heart Fire?
Another suspicion is that just because they secretly wanted to use the Black Flame Earth Core Fire, those two guys met an extremely harsh end.
This is done mainly for two purposes.
The first is to warn the people in the city not to think about using the black flames to make weapons.
Second, it is to warn the people below the government that if someone dares to accept benefits privately and allows others to use the Black Flame Earth Heart Fire privately, then there will be lessons learned from the past. Naturally, the people below will not think about getting benefits again and ruin themselves in vain.
Go in.
It's just that the government controls the Black Flame Earth's Heart Fire so strictly. What is its purpose?
According to Su Yu's guess, the government probably has some ulterior secret that controls the Black Flame Earth's Heart Fire so strictly.
Even the blacksmiths hired were only responsible for making iron blanks.
The purpose of this is nothing more than to prevent these blacksmiths from leaking the news, which would in turn lead to the secret being exposed.
But after finally traveling such a long distance, Su Yu naturally couldn't give up easily.
He led Cui Jian to a teahouse, signaled the waiter to serve a pot of good tea, and then continued to ask: "Is there a Hidden Dragon Realm warrior in this Yandi City?"
When using Black Flame Earth Core Fire, his true form can only be present, and then his bone wings can be strengthened.
If ordinary methods don't work, then he can only use some means.
Whether or not there are warriors in the Hidden Dragon Realm is very important.
He had no intention of finding out what corrupt and perverse things the government was doing with the Black Flame Earth Core Fire. He just wanted to use the Black Flame Earth Core Fire to strengthen his bone wings.
As soon as the strengthening is completed, it will naturally leave immediately.
If there is a Hidden Dragon Realm warrior in the government, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty for him to sneak in.
"A hidden dragon realm warrior?"
Cui Jian was startled when he heard this, then he laughed and said: "Brother, you think too highly of me. How can a common citizen trust this kind of news?"
"But based on my guess, there are probably Hidden Dragon Realm warriors in this Yandi City."
"oh?"
Su Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Tell me about your guess."
"In Emperor Yan City, there are many Yuyue Realm warriors from all over the world who come here to make weapons, but even these people did not dare to make any mistakes after hearing that the government had blocked the use rights of Black Flame Earth's Heart Fire.
"
Cui Jian chuckled and said: "If these martial arts warriors in the Yu Leap Realm didn't know that there were people in this city that they couldn't afford to offend, would they have surrendered obediently? It is estimated that they would have used their powerful force to enter the cave and use it openly.
Black Flame Earth’s heart is on fire.”
After listening to Cui Jian's analysis, Su Yu couldn't help but nodded.
What he said does have some truth to it.
In front of the Hidden Dragon Realm warriors, the Yu Leap Realm warriors are indeed not enough to look at.
"There are Hidden Dragon Realm warriors guarding the cave. It is indeed not an easy task for me to sneak in and use the Black Flame Earth Core Fire."
Su Yu couldn't help but curse in his heart.
After finally arriving at Yandi City, he encountered something like this, which undoubtedly made him feel a little depressed.
"well."
Su Yu sighed softly, and then said: "I finally came to Yandi City. I wanted to use the inner fire of the black flame to make a handy weapon, but now I am afraid I will be disappointed."
"Brother Cui, I finally came here once, so please take me to the cave to have a look."
Hearing Su Yu's words, Cui Jian's expression suddenly changed, and he shook his head hurriedly: "Brother, it's not that I won't take you, but the cave is already guarded by someone far away, and I can't bring you with me.
You go visit."
According to the information he received, even if he peeked into the cave from a distance, he might be arrested.
Cui Jian didn't want to end up like the two people before him, with his hands and feet cut off, his eyes gouged out, and his tongue cut out.
"That's it."
Su Yu chuckled and said, "Then tell me which direction this cave is in."
Hearing that Su Yu still refused to give up, Cui Jian couldn't help but persuade him: "Brother, it's not that I won't take you there, but the cave is now like a forbidden area, and outsiders cannot set foot in that area at all."
"But if you just look at it from a distance, as long as you are careful, you won't attract the attention of the government."
"You just walk along this street to the end, and then you will see two roads on the left and right. Go left for another five miles, and then when you see a checkpoint there, you have to stop, because there is another one mile outside.
, it’s the underground cave.”
After Su Yu got the exact location, he nodded with a smile and said: "Thank you Brother Cui for telling me. Brother Cui, don't worry. Since the cave is now a forbidden area, I will naturally not set foot in it. I will just stand and take a look from a distance.
Let yourself consider that your hard work was not in vain.”
"Brother, if you think so, then I'll be relieved." Cui Jian said with a smile.
After separating from Cui Jian, Su Yu walked straight in the direction Cui Jian said.
After about a stick of incense, Su Yu saw the existence of a checkpoint from a distance. A group of soldiers wearing armor were on guard, and the inside was brightly lit.
Su Yu released his spiritual consciousness, and then spread towards the back of the checkpoint.
Behind the checkpoint, there are almost three posts per post, five posts per post, and patrolling soldiers.
When the spiritual consciousness extends to sixty feet, it can no longer advance further due to problems with its own realm.
However, Su Yu had a general understanding of the current situation.
"People who don't know, think that there is a vein of top-quality Yuanjing here."
Looking at the dense checkpoints, Su Yu couldn't help but sigh.
It would be almost impossible to break in as an uninvited guest.
"According to what Cui Jian said, the checkpoint outside is still one mile away from the cave. There is no way for my consciousness to extend into the cave."
"I have to find a way to enter the inner area of the checkpoint, and then use my spiritual consciousness to observe what the situation inside the cave looks like inside the checkpoint."
Looking at the dense checkpoints, Su Yu frowned in thought.
At this moment, Su Yu saw a group of sentries coming from outside, then passed the checkpoint and exchanged defenses with a group of patrolling sentries outside the cave.
After the patrolling sentries were put down, they walked towards the outside of the sentry post.
"Yes."
Seeing this group of sentinels walking out, Su Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up.
I think this period of time will be the time to switch defenses.
