Just after leaving the Black Iron Castle, Zhang Tie appeared in the water. He opened his eyes wide, held his breath, and looked at the environment he was in. If Heller hadn't told him, he would appear after leaving the Black Iron Castle.
Don't be surprised if he is in the water. He might be choked as soon as he leaves the Black Iron Castle.
There was an undercurrent in the water, which was the agitation caused by the flow of water in the underground river. It was already late at night, but under Zhang Tie's dark vision, everything under the water was still very clear. He saw above him
Zhang Tie looked at the swimming groups of small fish and the lush aquatic plants floating on the bottom of the water next to him, and found that there was indeed no one in the water. He put a force on his feet and held the baggage wrapped in waterproof tarpaulin in his hand.
, the whole person floated upward from the bottom of the water.
Over the years, as he was promoted to level nine, some of the space capabilities of the Black Iron Castle were released. Heller established a space channel underwater and in the Chaos Pool here, allowing the underground river here to
The water flow is continuously transported to the Chaos Pool, forming the Black Iron Castle.
It brings a large amount of energy reserves, which is why the area of Black Iron Castle has been expanded. If it were not worried that the space channel would be made too big and absorb too much water flow, which would cause abnormal phenomena in the water here, Black Iron
The area that the castle can expand is definitely many times larger than it is now.
But even so, Zhang Tie was satisfied, because he found a way to quickly increase the basic energy reserve of the Black Iron Castle. If you want to quickly increase the basic energy reserve of the Black Iron Castle in the future, you only need to find a method in the sea.
In an inconspicuous place, you can enter the Black Iron Castle from underwater. Then let the Black Iron Castle suck the sea water wildly. This kind of efficiency is more than a thousand times faster than before.
This more or less brought some comfort to Zhang Tie. Although he had lost a lot in these twelve years, he had not gained anything at all. In addition to this gain, he had completely recovered his body.
After using the Flower of Life to remove the shadow demon genes from his body, Zhang Tie found that his body and appearance were still the same as before. The past twelve years seemed like just one day, and there was no change at all.
What traces do you leave on your body?
After just a few seconds, Zhang Tie's head surfaced on the water. He looked around and saw that the wilderness was empty. Two moons hung high above his head, and the reeds as tall as a person by the lake were swaying gently in the night wind.
Zhang Tie blinked, then blinked again. Heller said, isn't it August outside? August has already reached the Mid-Autumn Festival. Looking at the growth of the plants by the lake, it seems like it's just spring and summer here.
"Heller, what's going on? It doesn't seem to be August outside." Zhang Tie sent an inquiry message to Heller inside the Black Iron Castle.
"Haha..." Heller's gentle laughter seemed to ring in Zhang Tie's ears, "Of course it's not August outside. It's March, during the time when the Lord of the Castle was sleeping. Gandhi and the others
Some time ago, he gave me a suggestion, saying that I should be more humorous and have more human emotions, which would make it easier to communicate with others and make people happy, so I made a little joke for the Lord of the Castle!"
"Humor?" When the word "Humor?" came out of Heller's mouth, Zhang Tie was like seeing a flying elephant. He didn't even understand the meaning of Heller's words for a moment. Such a serious Heller could actually be humorous.
?
"You mean the time you told me a few days ago was not August 14, 903 in the Black Iron Calendar?"
"Well, of course not. The exact time of that day should be March 1, 894 in the Black Iron Calendar. The Lord of the Castle has only been sleeping for a little more than 3 years, 903814 - 894301. Isn't this very humorous? Just change the numbers.
That’s it…”
As soon as Heller said these words, Zhang Tie began to convulse. The patrolling Yaksha of Qianlong Island, who could perform the Yaksha's unique skill of riding waves, suddenly sank into the water and was drowned.
"Lord Lord, are you okay?"
Zhang Tie quickly resurfaced and took a deep breath, "Ah, it's okay, Heller, can you give me a warning first when you want to be humorous in the future? I'm afraid my heart won't be able to bear it!
"
"Ah, do you still need to be warned about humor?"
"Others don't need it. Your humor tests people's endurance!"
"Ah, that's it. Well, actually I think I'm pretty talented at humor. I'll try another way of humor next time!"
"Ah, don't!" Zhang Tie was so shocked that he almost sank into the water again, "You'd better keep your humorous style of changing numbers. With this experience, I guess you will be better next time.
Got it!"
"Oh well!"
After finishing the conversation with Heller, Zhang Tie digested Heller's "humor" in the water, and then swam to the shore. 12 years suddenly turned into 3 years. 1 plus 2 equals 3. Zhang Tie didn't know this.
It wasn't another one of Heller's numbers humor, but he himself was secretly relieved.
Nothing in the surrounding environment seemed to have changed, except that the entire castle of Master Abian had completely disappeared and turned into a lake. Heller said that a week after he entered the Black Iron Castle, his master Zhao Yuan came.
In his rage, Master Abian's entire castle was wiped from the face of the world with just one blow.
Zhang Tie swam to the shore. Perhaps, only by swimming in the lake created by this terrifying power could he truly feel the terrifying power of the man known as the Demon Refiner. Such power was completely beyond Zhang Tie's imagination.
The ultimate in human power. In the face of such power, a ninth-level warrior like himself, or a fourteenth-level war demon like Abian, is no different from an ant.
Zhang Tie's heart was full of awe and self-mockery. He didn't know what level his master Zhao Yuan was. For him now, after igniting the thirty-four bright points on his spine, he would advance to higher levels.
He still had no idea how to practice on the tenth level. In the words of his master Zhao Yuan, the so-called ninth level was just the beginning of the cultivation path.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tie became even more eager to return to Huaiyuan Hall, because there not only were his relatives and friends, but also the secrets of cultivation that could be promoted to the tenth level after the ninth level.
Zhang Tie swam to the shore, came to the reeds, and quickly put on his clothes. The golden carp of the Pisces Sword fell to the ground at that time, and was later wrapped in the blood light emanating from Abian's body, and was finally taken to Black Iron together.
Castle, so it has not been lost, but the soul crystal that Zhao Yuan gave him was shattered during the battle with Abian.
Zhang Tie, who had put on ordinary clothes, walked out of the reeds and walked towards Black Flame City.
On the way, Zhang Tie found that the roadside in the wild was full of desolate scenes. What used to be fields were now covered with weeds. There were many graves on the slopes of the roadside, and some wild animals with red eyes.
The dogs were wandering in the wild. When they saw Zhang Tie, several wild dogs boldly followed him. Zhang Tie kicked out a few stones under his feet and killed two of the wild dogs.
The tail ran away.
What he saw in front of him made Zhang Tie's heart slowly become cold. Although he didn't know what happened in Black Flame City, everything in front of him clearly told him that Black Flame City had undergone tremendous changes.
Arriving at the south gate of Black Flame City, Zhang Tie was even more surprised by the appearance of Black Flame City. The broken city wall and the open city gate seemed to have suffered a disaster. There was a dilapidated and deserted look everywhere. On the city wall,
It was pitch black, with no ghosts at all. There were only a few men with spears sitting crookedly at the gate of the city. The whole city seemed to be abandoned. In such a city, there is no trace of the bustling life back then.
Half a scene.
Those men were sitting in the doorway of the city gate, lighting a fire. A group of people were sitting around the fire, roasting something, until Zhang Tie walked to the city gate, facing Zhang Tie
A guy who was sitting there realized that a person was coming from outside the city, and he shouted all of a sudden.
"Ah, someone is coming..."
As soon as the man shouted, all the people sitting in front of the fire turned their heads. Then one by one they picked up the spears leaning on their shoulders, rushed over, and pointed the spears at Zhang Tie.
"Who?" A man in his forties with a sinister face and a rather muscular physique stared at Zhang Tie and asked.
Zhang Tie frowned and looked at these people. These people were dressed in a mess. They didn't look like regular soldiers at all. They were holding long guns. There were also some problems with their cooperation in reacting to situations on the spot.
They are completely different from a group of ordinary people who only have some brute strength. In other words, these guys are just a bunch of rabble.
"Who are you?" Zhang Tie glanced at these guys and asked.
"Ah, you can talk and blink, not those damn zombies!" When one of those people heard Zhang Tie speak, he breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his spear at Zhang Tie.
It was only after the forty-year-old guy with a rough face glared at him that he quickly raised his spear in embarrassment.
"Boy, am I asking you or you asking me? Answer me honestly, who are you, where are you from, and what are you doing in Black Flame City!" The guy in his forties asked Zhang Tie loudly.
Zhang Tie didn't say anything, but quickly stepped forward, stretched out a hand, and pulled the spear in the hand of the guy in his forties. The spear came to his hand like magic, and then
As soon as he raised his hand, the spear turned in one direction, and the sharp tip of the spear was pressed against the Adam's apple of the neck of the man in his forties with a fleshy face.
Zhang Tie's movements were so fast that in those people's eyes it was just a blur. Zhang Tie snatched one of their spears from his hands and killed the most powerful guy among them in one fell swoop.
It's in hand.
"Now let me ask, who are you, where are you from, and what is the current situation in Black Flame City?"
