What made Guo Fei depressed was that from Shang Xiu's story, Guo Fei felt that he had been deceived.
The Black Soil Rock Highland is the junction of the Southern Wilderness and Zhongzhou. There are three places connected here in the Chaos Territory, namely the Demon Alliance, the Shangcheng and the Xisha Lake forces of the War Alliance. Among the Xisha Lake forces, the Xishakou Town is located in the town.
The Black Soil Rock Highlands, and the Xishakou Town is also closest to the Million Mountains in the Southern Wilderness.
According to Shang Xiu, although Xishakou Town is affiliated with the Xisha Lake power, in history, it is difficult for the Xisha Lake power to rule for a long time. Every once in a while, it will be subject to bandits from the Black Soil Rock Highlands, demon tribes and from the south.
The attack of monsters from the wilderness of the mountains is so popular that it is not worth the cost to buy this place with so many spirit stones.
However, the only thing that made Guo Fei excited was that the area of this place was quite large, and it was the only way for Heido monks to enter and exit the southern wilderness. The commerce and trade were very developed, so Shangxisha Lake was reluctant to give up and dared not give up, because this was
The gateway of the Xisha Lake power is affiliated with the management of the Xicheng Yan family in Xisha Lake.
The chaotic black soil rock highland is simply a scattered area, which is extremely chaotic. For example, Moyun Village is one of the most powerful bandit forces. Therefore, the Yan family, the ruler of Xisha Lake Zhongxicheng, had a headache about this place and wanted to hire hunting.
The demons came to manage and only collected a little spirit stone. Several demon hunting teams took over very excitedly at the beginning, but suffered heavy losses. No one is willing to take on this job anymore.
Xicheng had to spend a lot of spirit stones to hire monks to manage the place. Yan Nantian was the one who was chosen by his father to command the power here. He also pointed out that the place was sealed to him, as long as he guarded the portal and did not allow Xicheng to be violated.
So Yan Nantian threw this hot potato to Guo Fei and others.
"Isn't the Chaos Leader not that force that forces took action to clear the bandits and demon tribes?" Leng Dao asked curiously after hearing this.
"The black soil rock highland is extremely vast and the terrain is extremely complex. The southern wilderness and the western side are connected to the Hengtian Mountains. Only a mountain pass area of dozens of kilometers south of Xishakou can reach the Southern Wilderness. The north and east of the Hengtian Mountains are Zhongzhou.
, that is, the black soil rock highland, but the mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles, and the terrain inside is complex and dangerous. It is not worth the effort to chase these thieves.
They hid after them. After retreating, they came out again. Some bandits are quite powerful, and we can't do anything about it. Moreover, who is willing to spend a lot of effort to chase the thieves? Each force's own territory will be
It may not be able to protect it well, and it has no ability to manage the Black Soil Rock Highland. Besides, the Southern Wilderness Demon Clan occasionally rushes into the Black Soil Rock Highland. Who is willing to face the attacks of the Demon Clan directly?" Shang Xiu said helplessly.
After hearing this, Guo Fei couldn't help but think about it. It seemed that Shangguan Ting didn't know much about Xishakou.
"Miss Shang, since you Shangcheng can be based in such a chaotic area and have been passed down for so long, you should have the powerful power to protect yourself, why are you bullied by Moyun Village and Heiyan City to come to your door?" Guo Fei asked lightly.
"This is exactly what I am worried about. Although our Shangcheng is not solid, we still have methods to deal with the invasion of foreign forces. This time I was ordered to go out to patrol the business of Shangcheng. After getting a message from my father, I heard all kinds of things
The rumors were also extremely shocked. I just didn't know what happened at home, so I hurried back. If I hadn't met three people, I would have been killed this time." Shang Xiu said with a gloomy face.
"This time it was just a lucky chance. What I felt strange was that the flame that the woman finally released was a little bit large, but the bursting energy was extremely terrifying. It seemed that Miss Shang was very familiar with this flame?" Guo Fei continued
Asked.
"Since you saved my life and our relationship is not ordinary, let me tell you. The unique skill that the woman used was the Three Yang True Fire Art, which was the unique skill passed down by my Shang family. My uncle betrayed Shangcheng,
Passed it to this woman. This is exactly what I am worried about. This is a very powerful technique to practice flames, which is crucial to our Shangcheng. What is ashamed is that I have only practiced the superficial and powerful.
Not as good as the woman just now.” Shang Xiu said in a deep voice.
"Three Yang True Fire Art." Guo Fei pondered for a moment, and then said softly: "It seems that Miss Shang has only cultivated two colors of flames, red and orange. And the woman has cultivated three colors of red, orange and yellow."
"Brother Guo really has good eyesight, good. That bitch actually cultivated the three-color pure yang fire. Unfortunately, she has not mastered the method of flame transformation attack, otherwise it would be troublesome." Shang Xiu's face darkened.
"It seems that it is not the Nine Yang True Fire Art." Guo Fei sent a sound to Concubine Xuan through the Dark Demon Palace.
"I admit it wrong, but these Three Yang True Fire Arts are definitely related to the Nine Yang True Fire Arts, maybe they are derived from the Nine Yang True Fire Arts." Dark Concubine Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Have you seen the Nine Yang True Fire Art?" Guo Fei was stunned.
"I encountered this once, a young man was using this skill. The flame emitted nine-colored light, and the temperature was extremely high, several times stronger than the three-colored flame. It was not something that our dark attributes could resist. Fortunately, I walked faster, so I wanted to
Otherwise, she would have fallen." An Feixuan seemed to recall the situation at that time and said in fear.
Guo Fei and others were chatting and walking. Shangxiu was obviously larger than the city ruled by Shangguan Ting's family and more powerful than his power. Shangxiu's knowledge was higher than Shangguan Ting's. Guo Fei and others learned a lot from him.
The secret of the chaos.
Two days later, the group crossed mountains and ridges and arrived at the sphere of influence of Shangcheng without a stop.
After entering here, Guo Fei was extremely surprised. After crossing a mountain, his eyes suddenly lit up. A vast and fertile land appeared in front of him. This is a plain surrounded by mountains and steep mountains, planting various crops.
, people come and go in the farmland, all working hard. In the center of this plain stands a big city, lying on the plain like a beast. The situation here is in sharp contrast with the barren area that has just passed.
It's like a paradise.
Shang Xiu seemed to see the surprise of Guo Fei and others, and smiled faintly and said, "The chaotic countries leading different Beiyuan countries, ordinary people must rely on the protection of big cities to survive. If the city wants to survive, it must also protect these ordinary people.
People, ordinary people are the basis for the continuation of urban development. Therefore, in the chaos, plundering of people is sometimes the main purpose of war."
Guo Fei nodded, it was indeed the case. If there was no population, it would be a dream to develop and strengthen his power, because monks were selected and cultivated from ordinary people, and if there was no population, there would be no foundation. Just as the demon tribe tried its best
Just like protecting one's monster, it is a matter of laying the foundation.
However, it is indeed not easy to gather so many human races in the chaos.
"Where is a volcano?" Guo Fei looked at the south and east sides of the plain. He saw two high mountains in the distance, as if they were spraying hot mist. He immediately asked Shang Xiu in surprise.
"Well. There are two volcanoes in the east and southeast of our Shangcheng. There are craters on the mountain. Standing on the crater, you can see the magma inside. When I was a child, I often practiced. It's very fun." Shang Xiu seemed to remember it.
A beautiful thing, said with a sweet smile.
"It seems that less than fifty kilometers away from your city. Are you not afraid of the volcanoes erupting to harm the city?" Leng Dao asked in surprise.
"Haha. Most of the reason why our Shangcheng can survive here depends on these two volcanoes, and the eruption of the volcano can naturally be controlled. Haha," Shang Xiu seemed unwilling to explain and said vaguely.
Guo Fei and others no longer ask, because this is someone else's **, after all, Guo Fei and Leng Dao are not stupid, knowing that this is related to cultivation and urban defense. After all, Shang family cultivates fire energy, and there are volcanoes nearby.
normal.
However, from Guo Fei's perspective, the existence of these two volcanoes has caused a subtle change in the climate around Shangcheng. It is estimated that it will be warm and humid all year round and suitable for planting. On the plains centered on the city, lush crops are planted with lush crops.
A good example. Although monks don’t eat a lot, crops are essential for ordinary people. This is also a good place to attract people to live.
"The eldest lady is back." Before the few people approached the plain, a man with armor rushed out of a fortress at the foot of the mountain. After seeing Shang Xiu, he came up with joy. This person's cultivation level was not weak, and he had the cultivation level of Wuzong.
Guo Fei took a rough look and found that there was such a fortress every other section, either light or dark. It was estimated that there were many fortresses around the mountains surrounding the plain, which were at the forefront of Shangcheng's defense, and guards were stationed inside.
"Oh, you are on duty today. How is my dad?" Shang Xiu saw that there were guards coming out, and seemed to have a good breath, knowing that there was no danger in Shangcheng at the moment.
"The city lord said that as long as the eldest lady comes back, she will report to him immediately. No need to delay, I will send a letter back now." The man said, hurriedly returning to the fortress. Time was not long, and a carrier pigeon soared into the sky and headed towards the city.
Flying away.
"Let's go." Shang Xiu seemed to feel much more at ease all of a sudden, and the clouds covered on his face suddenly unfolded.
The few people who followed her heard that the city lord was still there, and they were immediately happy and seemed to feel much more at ease.
Guo Fei felt from the words and actions of Shang Xiu and these people that Shang Xiu's father must be not simple. He is the backbone of this city.
After walking down the mountains surrounding the plains, there was a fertile field, with a road in the middle leading directly to the city. Most of the civilians working here seemed to know Shang Xiu and bowed their heads respectfully to say hello.
Several people quickly walked through the field and gradually approached the city. From a distance, the city was not very tall, but from a close distance, it was very magnificent.
The city walls are all made of large black stones, about thirty meters high, with giant crossbows driving on the city wall, and towers are set up every distance. These towers seem to be very difficult, with vital energy floating on them, obviously arranged.
There is a defensive talisman array.
This city is fifty miles long from north to south and thirty miles from east to west. For such a big city, each tower has a defensive talisman array, which is extremely consuming spirit stones. It seems that the existence of every major force is supported by materials.
.
When entering the city gate, a team of soldiers came up and followed Shang Xiu into the city. There were people coming and going in the city, and there were many shops in it, and there was no so-called chaos at all.
"Brother Guo, you will have a rest in the welcoming building that is specially used to entertain guests tonight. I will take you to see my father tomorrow." Walking to the inner city in the center of the city, Shang Xiu smiled at Guo Fei and others, pointing
A restaurant corridor next to the inner city.
"We will follow the guests as you please. Let's follow Miss Shang's arrangements. When you meet your father tomorrow, you will explain what you promised. It's time for us to leave here too." Guo Fei smiled faintly.
Shang Xiu knew of course that Guo Fei was talking about the engagement with Liang Tie. His face turned cold, he nodded at Guo Fei as a human, and walked into the inner city.
"Young master, it seems that she doesn't believe us." Leng Dao looked at Shang Xiu as he hurried into the inner city with the guards, and said lightly beside Guo Fei.
"The defense of the inner city is not simple. I'm afraid it's normal to spend a lot of effort to prevent us from entering." Guo Fei did not answer Leng Dao's question head-on, and looked at the inner city wall and pondered.
The inner city is not big, two or three kilometers north and four or five kilometers east and west, and four or five kilometers east and west. It is square. The city walls are all built of fiery red rocks, as red as flames, and there is a faint flow of energy in the rocks. Obviously, it is inside.
The inlaid spirit stones must have been arranged with a defensive talisman array.
"Have you thought about Xishakou? Do we also want to build a city in the future?" Leng Dao said in contemplation.
"Even if a fixed city has a strong defense, it is still a dead thing. We focus on building a strong team that is invincible and invincible. This is my goal. Of course, before we are not strong, build cities to gather popularity
It is also a must." Guo Fei smiled faintly.
"Well, I just don't know if the Yan family in Xisha Lake will be owed the debt and will take care of Xisha ** for us," Leng Dao said in contemplation.
"Analysis of the news from the source, I'm afraid they will leave it to us to manage. After all, after the management is done, it will also establish a defensive portal for them." Guo Fei said with a faint smile.
The three of them were warmly welcomed into the Welcoming Building by the people from Shangcheng and settled down.
I haven't seen Shang Xiu's figure for three days, and it seems that she has forgotten that Guo Fei and the other two are waiting for her here.
"Does she want to go back on her word?" Guo Fei secretly told Leng Dao about the transaction of monk Shang Xiu. Leng Dao thought after hearing this.
"It is also possible that such a woman may not look down on Liang Tie. I am worried that Liang Tie will be disturbed by this matter. Men often feel that women cannot get the most precious thing. Once they succeed, their heart will be over.
So we must find a way to get Liang Tie. Even if the methods are not obvious, it doesn’t matter. Our brothers cannot be hurt," Guo Fei said with a faint smile.
"Well" Leng Dao's eyes showed a hint of throbbing. From Guo Fei's words, he knew that Guo Fei had never regarded them as servants, but as brothers.
