Chapter 7 The Empty City

Zhang Tie looked at the man and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Come in, this place is very big..."

The man walked in, took one look at the heavy metal crossbow in Zhang Tie's hand, and wanted to come over.

Zhang Tie pointed to a place more than ten meters away from him with the heavy metal crossbow in his hand, "If you are a pioneer, you should know the rules of the pioneers. Where are you sleeping? There is some dry firewood in the cave.

You can make a fire by yourself, we don’t know each other, and this is in the wilderness. In order to avoid any accidents, you’d better not get too close to me. I’m a timid person, and I will sleepwalk when I fall asleep. If I accidentally do something

Anything extreme would be bad!"

Hearing Zhang Tie say this, the smile on the man's face froze slightly, and then he laughed again, "You are right, it should be like this!" After saying this, the man was on the ground in the cave.

I picked up some dry firewood and licorice, took out a windproof lighter more than ten meters away from Zhang Tie, and started to light a fire.

Although the place where that person was was still far away from Zhang Tie's place, the door in the cave was vaguely blocked. If you wanted to leave the cave, you had to pass by him.

After the man started to light the fire, Zhang Tie used metal crossbow arrows to skewer the meat of the deep-sea monster. It had turned golden yellow, and drops of oil came out of the top and dripped to the bottom.

On top of the fire, the flames below jumped up, making a roaring sound.

The alluring fragrance in the cave became stronger.

During this process, Zhang Tie and the man kept looking at each other, and the atmosphere in the cave was slightly strange in the silence.

After the meat was roasted, Zhang Tie picked it up, blew it a little and started eating. Even while eating the meat, he did not put down the heavy metal crossbow in one hand, but rested it on his knees and legs.

The metal crossbow's muzzle was still pointed at the place ten meters away.

"Little brother, what kind of meat are you grilling? It smells good!" The man licked his lips.

"Well, this is a kind of fish I just got in the river outside today, and it looks pretty good!" Zhang Tie made random nonsense, and his mouth was full of oil as he ate. The meat of the deep-sea giant monster was indeed not covered, and it was not only delicious.

Zhang Tie seemed to feel that the meat he swallowed made his stomach warm and comfortable. The fatigue and hunger of the day slowly receded in the warmth. It seemed that the meat on the Aurora was

The head chef was right, the blood energy contained in the meat of the deep sea monster is very beneficial to the human body.

"I haven't eaten anything today, little brother, can you give me some of your baked goods?" The man with the gold teeth said again with a smile.

"Oh. I'm sorry. I grilled just enough meat for myself. I really don't have any extra meat for you. If you want to eat, you can go outside and get something for yourself. As a pioneer, it shouldn't be difficult to get something to eat.

Let's go!" Zhang Tie lowered his head and ate without giving any face. He didn't even look at that guy.

After hearing what Zhang Tie said, the guy with gold teeth twitched his eyes, and then he laughed again. He took out a piece of dried meat from his body and started roasting it on the fire. He sighed while roasting,

"Oh, then you have to eat what you brought! It's just that my food doesn't taste as good as yours when roasted. Your meat smells a bit like the best squid found in the deep sea! When is the freshwater river outside here?

This is the first time I’ve heard of such a thing as squid!”

Zhang Tie also laughed, quickly ate the last piece of meat, wiped his mouth, and put away the metal crossbow arrows for the barbecue, "What's weird about this? Maybe there are stupid squids swimming along the river from the sea on their own.

I happened to meet you when I came up! It’s not very far from the sea..."

"Squids are not stupid. They are actually the most ferocious and smart hunters in the ocean, especially some squids that have completed mutation and evolution. If they really swim upstream from the sea to this river, in most cases, they will definitely

They came here to hunt down prey..." Jinya said with a smile, looking at Zhang Tie, the teeth in his mouth reflected a piece of metallic light in the firelight in front of him, making people feel an inexplicable chill rising, "

Do you know what those smart and powerful squids will do when they catch their prey? Haha, they rarely kill their prey right away. Instead, they enjoy the whole process of killing the prey. They first wrap the prey tightly with their tentacles so that it cannot move.

Little by little, it uses its own stomach acid to corrode the limbs of the prey, and then swallows the prey bit by bit. Some prey can feed a squid for a whole week without dying!"

"Oh, really..." Zhang Tie also laughed, "I think those squids are disgusting and shameful, but I don't think they are as powerful as you said. Although some squids look like giants, they are very powerful.

It's amazing, but as long as their tentacles are cut off one by one, they won't be able to jump. Just like when I came to the ice and snow wasteland this time, I saw with my own eyes how a sword master used a sword on the passenger ship I was on.

The tentacles of the deep sea giant monster were cut off one by one, and finally the big guy turned into a pile of dead meat floating on the sea!"

"Are you talking about Samaranch, the Sword Saint of the Star and Moon?"

"Yes! At that time, because I happened to be on the boat with him to deal with the Kraken, and at the critical moment I used the ballista on the ship to shoot the Kraken, which helped him a little bit, so I got to know him! Sa

Mr. Malanchi thinks I am very brave. But having said that, I am indeed very courageous..." Zhang Tie looked relaxed and honored.

"You and Samaranch actually know each other?" When he said this, the smile disappeared from Jin Ya's face, and his eyes were fixed on Zhang Tie, as if he wanted to tell whether he was lying.

Zhang Tie looked at Jin Ya with an unchanged expression. He even broke off a small thorn from the dry seabuckthorn branch nearby. He was picking his teeth easily, squinting at Jin Ya, "Is this weird? You can do it right away."

You can meet him. When you meet him, you can also tell him the story about squid you just told. Mr. Samaranch hates squid the most. He should be interested in such a story.

Interested!"

After listening to Zhang Tie's words, Jinya's eyes suddenly started to spin, and he couldn't help but glance at the entrance of the cave, "Haha, the story you just told is very interesting, but unfortunately, everyone knows that the Xingyue Sword Master went for the fragment of the Star of God.

Now we are going to the Hydra Glacier Fissure in the southern part of the ice wilderness!”

"Really? Let's make a bet!" The expression on Zhang Tie's face remained unchanged, but he looked at Jin Ya with contempt, "If the whereabouts of a sword master can be known to everyone, then he

Or the Sword Master? Mr. Samaranch is going to the Hydra Glacier Fissure, but before going anywhere, he has to come to the gray hills to prepare something. Maybe he liked me, so he asked me to come by the way.

Can you give him a little favor here?"

"What are you busy with?" Jinya asked involuntarily.

"You don't need to know this! Perhaps, if you think Mr. Samaranch would be courteous to someone like you, you can ask him in person right away!" Zhang Tie said, easily taking out his pocket watch.

He glanced at it. "It's almost time. The Juggernaut will arrive at any time. Just wait here for a while!"

After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Jin Ya's face turned blue and white, completely losing his composure. He looked at the entrance of the cave, and then at Zhang Tie. A violent and vicious light flashed in his eyes, but he hesitated a little.

All of a sudden everything was in disarray.

Jin Ya suddenly stood up from the ground and looked at Zhang Tie with murderous eyes, "How do you know I'm from Demon Snake Island?"

"Nonsense, can you please use your squid-like brain? What time is it now, will there be any pioneers staying in the gray hills?" Zhang Tie looked at Jin Ya with the eyes of an idiot. What he said in his mouth

Extremely sharp, the heavy metal crossbow in his hand pointed at the gold tooth without hesitation, "If I can't help Mr. Samaranch a little help here, and Mr. Samaranch promised to take me to Hydra afterwards.

Glacier crevices, I won't stay in this damn place. A pioneer like me is here to hug the Sword Master. What the hell are you doing here? Is it possible that there is another Sword Master who needs your help?

"

"That's it?"

"I said your head is about the same as a squid..." Zhang Tie sneered, "Any pioneer below level seven would dare to see a stranger holding this heavy metal crossbow in a cave in the wild.

There are almost no people who rashly walk into the cave and ask for a night's stay. And if you still dare to come in, it means you think you are stronger than me. This heavy metal crossbow is not much of a threat to you, with such level and combat power.

It is simply impossible for the pioneers not to go to the Hydra Glacier Fissure at this time!"

"Then this doesn't mean anything. Maybe I am a pioneer. Even if I don't go to the Hydra Glacier Fissure, I might stay here for other reasons!" Jin Ya said in disbelief.

"Even if you think you are stronger than me, what happens after you lie down and fall asleep? As long as you fall asleep, within this distance, if I want to plot against you, no matter how strong you are, I just need to pull the trigger

The trigger can kill you while you're asleep, and you don't have time to react. That's why you said you want to stay in a cave for one night and rest in a cave with a stranger holding a heavy metal crossbow.

, that’s just a lie!”

Zhang Tie's face sneered, "No one with a right mind can rest peacefully for a night in this environment. Maybe you will really rest here for a night, but that must be to kill me or make sure that I don't have any

Things after the ability to resist, instead of asking me to point a crossbow at you and let you rest here for a night like now. So, from the moment you entered the cave and said you wanted to stay for a night, I heard your subtext.

There are only two people here, one is to confirm that I can no longer threaten you tonight, and the second is to already know my approximate strength, and is here with the purpose of being detrimental to me, and has no intention of letting me

Survive tonight. Except for the bastards from Devil Snake Island, I don’t have any enemies or enemies here at all. Others don’t know as much about me as you do. It’s okay for you to confirm that you want to harm me as soon as we meet.

Besides the people from Demon Snake Island, who else is worried about my revenge? You just want to hunt down one person, why bother to make it so troublesome?"

Jinya gritted his teeth and looked at Zhang Tie. What he thought was a flawless performance, he didn't expect that Zhang Tie's performance was full of flaws from the beginning. It was like a sign on his head. Even his identity and motivations were suddenly revealed.

Zhang Tie saw it. To be honest, this made Jin Ya feel a little frustrated in his self-esteem, and he hated Zhang Tie even more.

"With the little IQ in your head, I still advise you not to engage in such brain-consuming things in the future, let alone play with style and personality. Robbers and killers like you are inherently shady guys.

After seeing the target, just rush forward and kill them. That's what people like you should do! Don't mess around with your brain to arrange any plots. I'm begging you, okay?" Zhang Tie's poisonous tongue was direct.

Jin Ya's self-esteem has been knocked to the bottom. Looking at the current situation, it seems that he has the upper hand.

"I am Dawson, the Knight of the Round Table on Demon Snake Island. Do you really think I dare not kill you?" Dawson looked at Zhang Tie and took a step towards Zhang Tie.

"If you don't want to die, can you give it a try?" Zhang Tie still had the look of an old god on his face.

"Do you think it just depends on the crossbow in your hand or your level 9 strength?" Dawson said, taking two steps forward, as if he was about to take action.

"I just told you that your squid-like head must not mess around with your brain. If you take action, there are only two results. You kill me here. Then you run away, and then Mr. Samaranch catches up and kills you."

Unless you think you are strong enough to escape the pursuit of a sword master in the ice and snow wasteland, the second situation is that before you can kill me, Samaranch came here while you and I were fighting.

I’ll kill you easily!”

"Who do you think Samaranch is, that he will listen to you?"

"Of course the dignified swordsman will not listen to a nobody like me, and I have no ability to tell him to do or not do anything, but what if he feels that his dignity has been violated or is angry with someone who ruined his good deeds, or you

I think the Star-Moon Sword Master might like you guys who came out of Demon Snake Island!" At this point, Zhang Tie laughed, "By the way, guess what I'm procrastinating by saying so many words to you.

Are you waiting for time and striving for the second result?"

Dawson was startled. He suddenly understood something and immediately flew back to the entrance of the cave. After giving Zhang Tie a stern look, he turned around and was about to run away. Zhang Tie then slapped him hard.

He fired the trigger and started to attack. Seeing Zhang Tie's crossbow arrows coming over, Dawson's body twisted strangely and avoided the first wave of crossbow arrows shot by Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie chased after him relentlessly, firing continuously with the heavy metal crossbow in his hand. He looked like he wanted to keep Dawson or entangle him.

The speed of the crossbow arrows fired by the heavy metal crossbow was barely reaching the speed of sound. Naturally, it could not really threaten a tenth-level strong warrior. After a few flashes, Dawson's figure was already dozens of meters away, and then

An angry voice came over, "Just wait, kid..."

"Bah..." Zhang Tie, who had chased him out of the cave, spat hard at Dawson's back, jumped on his feet and cursed, "You bastards who bully the weak and fear the strong, how dare you continue here, come and kill me, why?

A crossbow will scare you away, Faak!"

Dawson in the distance was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but his figure did not stop and disappeared into the forest a few hundred meters away.

After watching Dawson disappear into the distant mountain forest, Zhang Tie felt the clammy chill on his back when the evening breeze blew.

Those words just now were both true and false. He immediately recognized that it was true that Dawson came from Demon Snake Island. As for the Sword Saint of the Stars and Moon, they were all lies he made up on the spur of the moment.

In fact, from the moment Dawson walked into the cave, a cold sweat broke out on Zhang Tie's back. He never thought that he would be blocked by the people from Demon Snake Island in the cave so soon.

, a guy whose overall strength was slightly stronger than that of an ordinary ninth-level guy was blocked by a tenth-level guy in a place with little room to move. Zhang Tie knew that if he really wanted to take action, he might not be able to hold on for two minutes.

The last time he was in the island dragon cave, he had already experienced the gap between himself and a tenth-level strong warrior. Although he had made some progress during this period, he even ate an iron-toothed hyena seven-power fruit.

But the overall strength is still too disparate, and there is no chance of winning at all.

At that time, when these thoughts flashed through Zhang Tie's mind, Zhang Tie decided that he must take the initiative, otherwise, there will be only a dead end tonight. When his own force cannot be relied on, he can rely on it.

, only your own brain.

Fortunately, Zhang Tie won. He made up a story about the Sword Master of the Star and Moon, which even he believed. With his calm and perfect performance, he finally scared Dawson away.

Of course, Dawson did not leave completely. Zhang Tie knew that a person like that could be frightened and run away completely just by hearing his few words. He was just watching from a distance, somewhere in the forest in the distance.

He watched with a hidden aura, confirming whether what he said was the truth. If he found that the Xingyue Sword Master did not appear or that he had plans to escape, then he would appear immediately.

Looking at the wide river outside the cave, Zhang Tie smiled. Since he knew that he was being hunted, how could he not be prepared at all? Choosing his foothold by such a river was the greatest thing for him.

safety guarantee.

Before finally leaving, Zhang Tie decided to give the guy another hard blow. These blows had nothing to do with the body, but they were enough to affect the guy's mental and psychological state, making him unable to remain calm when facing him in the future. In short

, the crazier that guy gets, the more likely you are to win against him.

Looking at the direction Dawson left, Zhang Tie laughed deliberately, leaning forward and backward with laughter, beating his chest and feet...

On a night like this, Zhang Tie's laughter could probably be heard several kilometers away. Zhang Tie knew that Dawson would be able to hear his laughter and see what he was about to do.

"You bastard from Devil's Snake Island, your name is Dawson, right? Your courage is really weaker than that of a mouse. I just made up a lie about the Sword Master of the Stars and Moon and scared the shit out of you. You're the only one with such courage.

, you still come out to be a killer, hurry back to your mother's arms and feed yourself for a few more days, hahahaha..." Zhang Tie said loudly to everyone around him, "I know you are nearby, you must not have left, you trash,

Coward and coward, apart from your gold teeth, can you find anything that can make you hard? Your brain is like a squid, but the most humble squid is ten thousand times more courageous than you, and even more courageous than you.

You are ten times smarter. I really don’t know if your brain is full of shit or mush. Remember to be smarter next time. Don’t act like an idiot. You believe everything others say. You are here waiting for Xingyue Sword.

Please show up, uncle, I won’t accompany you anymore, just wait, I will chop off your head myself before long!”

After saying this, Zhang Tie jumped into the river. Except for a splash when he entered the water, there was no sound anymore.

The river is long, and only the two bright moons in the sky are like smiling faces with split mouths, watching everything here with a mocking expression...

More than ten seconds later, there was a roar in the distant woods, and Dawson's figure reappeared. He rushed to where Zhang Tie jumped into the water, looked carefully, and wanted to jump in, but hesitated.

, after a while, he let out an angry roar, "Peter, I'm going to skin you with my own hands..."



Half an hour later, Zhang Tie landed on a pebbled riverside 70 kilometers upstream from where he jumped into the river. At this moment, even if Dawson was standing here, he probably wouldn't believe that anyone could do it.

You can swim 70 kilometers in the river in half an hour against the current. And this is Zhang Tie's biggest reliance.

The river is also full of dangers, especially at night. Along the way, Zhang Tie encountered more than a dozen huge crocodiles over five meters long and several huge aquatic carnivorous fish. Those crocodiles and carnivorous fish

The movements of fish in the water are quite agile. When they saw Zhang Tie, they all wanted to swim over and have a close contact with Zhang Tie, but Zhang Tie easily got rid of them. In order not to leave any clues to Dawson, Zhang Tie did not

Kill them, and just use your speed and flexibility in the water to throw those things behind you. Although those things are flexible in the water, compared to Zhang Tielai, it is the difference between a tortoise and a hare in a race.

After arriving on the shore, Zhang Tie found a tree hole in a huge red willow tree. After getting into the tree hole, he instantly entered the Black Iron Castle...

"Lord of the Castle, welcome to the Black Iron Castle..." Heller is already waiting in the Black Iron Castle...
