Before Tang Zhen and Er Gou entered the city, they had already disguised themselves to avoid being noticed as much as possible.
Today, there are undercurrents surging in Tianxu City, and there are many Lou City monks lurking there, so we must act carefully to avoid unnecessary trouble.
It's just that with Tang Zhen's current methods, he can only make some simple disguises, instead of the seamless disguises like in the past.
Although he couldn't hide it from those who were interested, if it was just a quick glance, no one would notice him.
After walking down the mountain for two hours, we found the road into the city and continued forward.
I met several hunters on the road, and they looked at Tang Zhen and the two men with somewhat unkind expressions, the expressions they only have after seeing their prey.
Tang Zhen didn't seem to notice it and just continued on his way. However, Ergou was a little nervous and looked back from time to time to check.
"Sir, look behind us..."
Tang Zhen stopped, smiled at Ergou and said, "I know they want to steal money and kill people, and now they are waiting for the opportunity to do it."
Ergou was stunned for a moment, obviously not knowing how to answer the call. He just wanted to remind Tang Zhen, but it turned out that he had already known about it.
"Then...what should we do?"
Ergou asked again, obviously obeying Tang Zhen's command in everything, rather than making arbitrary decisions.
"It's better to strike first. Since they want to kill you and me, why don't you want to kill them?
I will give you a task now, go back and solve the hidden danger. If you can't do it, there is no need to continue practicing, and there is no point in following me."
Ergou was stunned. He looked at Tang Zhen blankly and finally confirmed that he was not joking.
"good!"
Contrary to Tang Zhen's expectation, Ergou simply nodded in agreement, then turned back and left with the knife in hand.
Tang Zhen smiled slightly when he saw this, but did not follow him because he knew that Ergou would never be in danger.
As for the reason...
Tang Zhen fiddled with a wooden tube as thick as a finger. Previously, it contained extremely volatile paralyzing poison. When using it, you only need to sprinkle it on the ground, so that the pursuer can inhale it into the body without any precautions.
Later, the reaction will be slow, the consciousness will be blurred, and in severe cases, the person will even be slaughtered.
Sure enough, after a while, the two dogs returned, but their faces were as pale as paper and they looked like they were distracted.
…
After getting on the road, Tang Zhen discovered that there were really many pedestrians on the road, all heading for Tianxu City.
Ergou struck up a conversation curiously and got some shocking news. It turned out that for some unknown reason, there were traces of demons and ghosts appearing in many places nearby.
These demons and monsters are wreaking havoc everywhere, making people's lives miserable, and many people suffer as a result.
But not long after, these monsters suddenly disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
Later, people discovered that the monster had settled in a fixed location and would never leave easily.
Although the danger has been reduced a lot, it still brings a lot of inconvenience to the villagers and makes certain places a restricted area.
People can't stand this kind of life, for fear that one day a monster will appear at their doorstep and kill themselves and their families.
So after discussion, these villagers sent people to Tianxu City one after another to either spend money to buy items to exorcise demons or hire adventurers to slay demons.
In addition, there are some villagers who feel that their residence is no longer safe, so they decide to move to Tianxu City to feel more secure.
They were dragging their families along and marching slowly on the long road, which seemed to be quite difficult.
Tang Zhen listened to Ergou's conversation with passers-by, but he knew very well that the appearance of these monsters must be related to the Loucheng monks.
If there are no monsters, how can the Loucheng monks compete for upgrades?
This is just the beginning, the situation in the future will be more cruel, and the monsters will be more and more ferocious.
For the indigenous people, this is a catastrophe!
In fact, they are just like monsters. Although they have flesh and blood, they are essentially just tools to be used.
They have been kept in captivity for thousands of years, just to be used one day to test the strength of the monks in Loucheng.
It may sound cruel, but for the Loucheng monks, this kind of thing is really normal.
Even in the eyes of some Loucheng monks, they don't take these mortals seriously at all and always treat them like ants.
The Loucheng monks are strong and loyal, and they risk their lives in battle. They are willing to sacrifice everything for their companions, but that doesn't mean they do the same for others.
Kindness is extremely rare among monks in Loucheng. They always deal with things that make people feel compassion more rationally.
Not long after walking, a group of people came across from the opposite side, more than thirty people in total, all dressed up as standard adventurers.
They were fully armed and led horned beasts filled with supplies, as if they were going on a long journey.
Tang Zhen observed it and found that there were several adventurers whose strength was higher than his own, including several adventurers who were suspected of being monks from Loucheng.
When Tang Zhen observed them, the other party also cast his gaze over, which showed that his perception was quite keen.
Although they both recognized each other's origins, no one made any unnecessary moves and just passed each other by.
The current situation is special. If one's own interests are not involved, it is better to do less than to do more.
The distance between the two sides was getting farther and farther, but Tang Zhen was thinking about the other party's plan, obviously looking for monsters in the wilderness.
When there are not many monsters, using this method to increase your strength is a good way.
However, this is only an initial response. As the level increases, the rare wild monsters will not be able to meet the needs of the Loucheng monks.
Tang Zhen believes that after reaching a certain stage, new situations will definitely occur, and more monsters will inevitably appear.
What I have to do now is to accumulate strength as much as possible and rise strong when the next opportunity comes.
Tang Zhen, the monk from Loucheng who left, was not interested in knowing. The thing he was most curious about now was what did the monk from Loucheng who entered Tianxu City want to do?
Are you collecting information like yourself, or do you have another special purpose?
Unknowingly, the two of them had arrived at the entrance of Tianxu City. Looking at the two guardian statues from here, the visual impact became even stronger.
Especially the eyes of the two guardian statues seemed to come alive, staring at the passing crowds, seemingly full of scrutiny.
If you are someone with evil intentions, you may not be able to bear the intimidating gaze, and then expose your flaws in front of the guards of Tianxu City.
Tang Zhen just glanced at it and knew that this pressure came from the "malicious detection" array on the guardian statue. It can detect mental power and heartbeat. The more panicked it is, the more it will attract its attention.
If you really have evil intentions, then under strong mental pressure, clues will inevitably come out.
"Let's go, don't worry about other things."
Looking at the cowering Ergou, Tang Zhen suddenly reached out and patted him on the shoulder, waking him up from the state of mental oppression.
Ergou suddenly woke up, and after taking a long breath, he realized that he was covered in cold sweat.
"What the hell..."
Ergou murmured in a low voice, secretly glanced at the soldier standing next to him, and quickly followed Tang Zhen.
Under the watchful eye of a group of soldiers, they crossed over a bridgehead-like building and stepped onto a tall stone bridge that was several kilometers long.
In fact, only after getting closer will you discover that Tianxu City is actually surrounded by a huge lake, including the two mountains next to it.
The lake is as green as jade, with swarms of fish in the water, and dozens of boats, large and small, drifting slowly on the lake.
The mountains and rivers are picturesque and simply beautiful.
The builder of Tianxu City is unknown, but one thing is certain, this city is a miracle.
Unfortunately, it won't be long before the beautiful scenery will no longer exist. Perhaps the clear green lake will be stained with blood.
This thought flashed through my mind, and then was thrown out of my mind.
Having personally experienced the destruction of countless planes, how could Tang Zhen take such a thing to heart? To him, all this was just a passing cloud.
What's more, this world itself is very special. The life and death of trillions of creatures may actually depend on the thoughts of some beings.
Under the gaze of the two super statues, Tang Zhen and Ergou strode forward, and finally entered a huge city gate covered with column reliefs.
