The distance between the defensive array outside Lin Feng and the ghost flag is actually only a dozen feet high. However, when the group of ghosts entered the ghost flag and then flew toward it, their bodies quickly became smaller from near to far. It seemed that
It's like flying hundreds of miles.
In just half an hour, thousands of ghosts have been taken away by the ghost banners. Some of the remaining souls are of lower level and have not yet learned to fly. Lin Feng did not let them go and slowly lowered the ghost banners.
, took them all in one by one.
Tens of thousands of ghosts were collected into the Ghost Luo Banner, and the surrounding sky suddenly opened and the clouds dispersed. Lin Feng took a long breath, and used a magic spell to take the Ghost Luo Banner back into his hand. At this time, it was even darker than the ghost spirit sect monks had just done.
It's still three points better when you take it out!
It took a long time to refine the ghost, so Lin Feng was not in a hurry now. He put the ghost flag into his storage bag, swallowed the spirit-rejuvenating pill for a short recovery, and then quickly left the stone forest.
It was almost dusk, and Lin Feng did not dare to delay. He quickly returned to the canyon, and at the mouth of the canyon he first found the storage bag left by the monks in the foundation-building period. He collected the contents indiscriminately and entered the canyon quietly.
The bottom of the canyon is gloomy and gloomy. Looking up to the top of the canyon, it looks like a line of sky stretching across there. As long as there is a slight movement of wind and grass, the sound will spread throughout the empty valley.
Lin Feng walked on foot, trying not to step on the dead branches and gravel to avoid making slight noises. After walking cautiously for more than half an hour, he once again came to the empty valley where the Tubo Fire Crow lived!
Dozens of storage bags were scattered at the bottom of the valley. This was supposed to be the trophy that the foundation-building monks wanted to obtain, and it was also the purpose of their efforts to kill people and steal goods. Unfortunately, they all died one after another. Lin Feng conveniently took the storage bags.
He picked them up and hung them all on his waist one by one.
After collecting all the storage bags, Lin Feng glanced back at the mountain wall full of caves with lingering fear, then set up his flying magic weapon and rushed into the entrance of the canyon. This time, even if the sudden fire crow heard something, Lin Feng
Being alone and flying away from them rather than approaching them, the group of fire crows would not even bother to attack.
There were still a small number of demon birds waiting for an opportunity to attack. Lin Feng relied on high-quality attack charms and defensive weapons to adapt to changes. After many twists and turns, he finally got rid of them. After more than an hour of flight, he finally flew out of this long canyon.
Rushing into the sky from the canyon, Lin Feng discerned the direction and continued to urge the flying magic weapon to fly forward without stopping. He escaped for more than hundreds of miles without stopping. When the sky was about to darken, he finally saw a building in the distance.
The shadow of the city.
First, he landed in a remote place, took off the storage bags hanging on his waist, and sorted out the belongings one by one. After finishing packing, Lin Feng burned the empty storage bags into ashes.
Only a dark green jade piece was left inside.
This jade piece looks like an inkstone. In addition to some strange patterns carved on it, there are also a few words written on the back of the jade piece. The writing is a bit blurry, but it can be vaguely seen clearly. It seems to be written
Lin Feng didn't know the meaning of the four words "Xiwang Yunmen".
The jade piece seemed simple. In fact, judging from the complicated and detailed curves, Lin Feng knew that this was not an ordinary object, because there seemed to be some weird formation hidden in these curves. However, Lin Feng was currently
My attainments in the formation path are not yet able to understand the mysteries and true meaning of it.
After looking over and over again, but still unable to see the clue, Lin Feng threw it away in his storage bag. Then he stood up and was about to run away, but his eyes narrowed into the distance, and then he saw three escaping lights.
It flew towards him, but the speed was very slow and the light was not strong. It looked like it should be a monk at the Qi training stage or below.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them had already flown close to Lin Feng. They did not fly away, but slowly slowed down, landed a few feet in front of Lin Feng, and greeted him together.
Lin Feng had already seen clearly that these three people were all monks in the early stages of Qi training, and it seemed that they were not just passing by, but discovered him from a distance, and then flew to him specially.
"Are you three okay?" Lin Feng asked them directly.
"Brother Taoist, are you here for the first time? The three of us brothers and sisters are monks from Zhongyingfang City ahead. We are responsible for guarding against nearby monsters and guiding fellow Taoists who come to rest in Yingfang City!" One of the three of them looked like a middle-aged man.
The man said.
"Oh, will there be monsters appearing in this place?" Lin Feng saw that they were polite and his tone softened.
"Yes, there will be monsters everywhere in the Far West Plateau. It's just that there are fewer in some places and more in some places, and the scale and level are also very different." The only one among the three.
A female nun also said.
"How often do the monsters appear near Zhongyingfang City, and what are their strengths?" Lin Feng asked again.
The last of the three people also said: "Zhongyingfang City is located in a remote place on the extreme western plateau. It is a corner of the eastern region. The number of monsters is not large. In most cases, they are below the fifth level.
The above monsters rarely appear, and when they do appear, they are mostly individuals passing by, and it is rare to see them appearing in groups."
Lin Feng felt relieved: "If that's the case, why do you still patrol and survey nearby? Are there no defensive formations or monks guarding Zhongyingfang City?"
The middle-aged monk said: "My fellow Taoists don't know that the chieftain of Zhongyingfang City unfortunately passed away a few months ago, and the new chieftain has not been elected yet. Several forces in the city have spent their financial resources on the election.
Chieftain, so there are no extra spiritual stones to maintain the operation of the defensive formation, so we can only rely on manpower to resist the invasion of monsters."
Lin Feng knew that the chieftain was equivalent to the leader of a party in the market. Once he took this position, he could rely on his power to collect taxes from various shops in the market. As long as the amount was not excessive, those shop owners would continue to work in the market.
City business,
As the leader of the market, the chieftain has a steady supply of financial resources. However, if you want to be a chieftain, in addition to having enough financial resources and land, you must also be strong, otherwise you will not be able to compete for the top position.
Without the protection of a defensive formation, it is extremely dangerous for a city. What's more, Zhongyingfang City is still located in the extreme western plateau where monsters are rampant. Lin Feng would probably be wary even if he lived there.
Seeing the worried look on Lin Feng's face, the middle-aged monk added: "But fellow Taoist, there is no need to worry. Although there is no defensive array in Zhongyingfang City, there are several alchemy masters who are running for chieftainship. At this time, for the sake of
They are competing with each other to gain popularity,
All monks who live in their jurisdiction will receive their full protection, but foreign monks who enter Zhongyingfang City must cheer for the chieftain election in their jurisdiction, and at least they must wait until the competition between foreign aid forces is over before they can leave."
Lin Feng looked at the sky. It was too late to go to other cities at this time. Moreover, since the chieftain election in Zhongyingfang City was going to be held soon, it would be okay to delay for a few days, so he said to the three of them.
: "Okay, I'll go to Zhongyingfang City to find a place to stay, and the three of you can continue patrolling."
The middle-aged monk coughed, and then said with a little embarrassment: "Fellow Taoist, since we are destined to meet each other, let me introduce myself. We are indigenous monks in Zhongyingfang City, belonging to one of the three major forces.
Huang Lin, the ancestor of the Huang family, is one of the candidates running for chieftain position this time!"
Lin Feng said oh, and then asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
The middle-aged monk continued: "My name is Huang Qiwen, my second brother Huang Qiyao, and my third sister Huang Qimin. The three of them are entrusted by our ancestors to guide foreign monks into Zhongyingfang City. Every time we successfully guide one, they will get a
The reward of spiritual stones."
Lin Feng chuckled: "So that's it! But how does this help the Huang family's election as chieftain?"
Huang Qiwen said again: "As long as you stay in our Huang family's inn, you will have the opportunity to become our foreign aid force. The number of foreign aid forces, as well as the overall strength, will also play an important role in running for chieftain."
Lin Feng immediately became vigilant: "Foreign aid forces? Do you want me to participate in your election campaign?"
Huang Qiwen quickly waved his hand: "You have misunderstood. The foreign aid force is actually just a false name. Its role is only to strengthen the momentum and does not directly participate in the election, unless you are selected as a representative by the family participating in the election."
Lin Feng was even more confused, while Huang Qiwen continued to explain patiently: "The election for chieftain requires several decisive battles. In addition to the three chieftain candidates, their families must also send disciples of corresponding levels to compete, and foreign aid forces are also among them.
A battle, every battle will ultimately boil down to one thing, and the strongest party will be elected chieftain."
Lin Feng nodded: "It sounds quite reasonable. The chieftains selected through this method should have the strongest overall strength. However, foreign aid forces like me without strong skills are not suitable for participating in such a battle.
Yes, and I’m just taking a break, I can’t stay here for too long.”
Huang Qiwen continued: "You are just a foreign aid. When the time comes, you can just help our Huang family and cheer for us. If you are really interested in fighting on our behalf, the Huang family will certainly not let you contribute in vain. Some materials or spiritual stones will be given to you."
Yes, of course this must be done with your consent first, the Huang family will never force you to fight on your behalf."
Lin Feng felt relieved again, thinking that what Huang Qiwen said made sense. If the Huang family really forced outside monks to fight on their behalf, they would probably be the ones to suffer in the end, because once the monks who fought deliberately lost, they would run for the chieftainship.
