After Han Li and Shi Chuankong had a few casual conversations, they stopped talking and continued to move forward silently with the team.

After moving forward for hundreds of feet, the sound of wind and sand gradually decreased a little, and the huge shadows I saw in the wind and sand began to appear. They were two black peaks standing next to each other and towering thousands of feet high.

Above the two peaks, the rocks are protruding, the surface is bumpy, and there are holes of different sizes everywhere due to wind erosion.

Han Li looked up and saw a huge canyon between the two peaks, and a black castle more than hundreds of feet high was built in the middle of the canyon.

The fortress is rough in style, with three huge dome bunkers above, two walkways between the city walls, and a thick and tall black wall below.

Han Li and his party entered the canyon area, and the wind and sand were almost blocked by the mountains and castles, which made it much easier.

When he arrived outside the city gate, Chen Yang took off the cotton cloth on his face, shook off all the dust, and came to a stone platform outside the city gate, raised his palm, and slapped a big bronze bell hanging on it.

"Dong..."

As a deep and distant bell rang, a hole suddenly opened above the gate of the city wall, and several figures appeared inside and looked outside for a while, then a voice shouted, "It's Captain Chenyang who is back, open the door."

After this sound came, a rumbling sound sounded inside the city wall, accompanied by a burst of sounds of mechanical sounds, and two extremely thick black city gates slowly opened inwards.

"Brother Li, Brother Shi, let's go." Chen Yang walked back, greeted Han Li and the others, and said with a smile.

The team slowly entered the castle, and the stone gate behind him closed again.

When Han Li walked into the castle, he found that the situation inside was different from what he thought.

The castle is quite large, with a radius of hundreds of feet. A huge brazier is hung every few feet on the wall inside. There is no smoke when it burns, but there is a faint fishy smell.

There is a large amount of space in the castle, occupied by various gear machines. There are three huge stone pillars in the middle, and three stone stairs are hovering above, which separate the three fortresses on the city wall.

There were no fewer people coming and going in the castle, each of whom was busy, while Chen Yang's men were leading various strange beasts toward the right side of the castle.

Han Li and others stood in the hall, and soon two demon men in crimson robes walked up with a thick book in one hand and a brush filled with cinnabar in the other.

Chen Yang seemed to be very familiar with the two of them, with a smile on his face and took the initiative to meet him.

"Captain Chenyang, it seems that he has gained a lot this time?" One of the round-faced men with sword tips on their eyebrows said with a smile.

"I'm so lucky to ask the two dictionary officials to do this time I didn't return empty-handed." Chen Yang said with a smile.

Another dictionary official with long ears and square face had a cold expression on his face. He looked at Han Li and the other two coldly and asked.

"Do they follow the people or surrender to the people?"

"They are guests I invited back, and they are also going to join our Qingyang City. As for which type it is... I will talk about it after I meet the city lord." Chen Yang's face looked slightly embarrassed, and then said.

"According to the rules, the first thing you do after entering the city should be to evaluate the level. Captain Chenyang is afraid that it is a bit inappropriate to do this, right?" The official Fangfang Dianlu said with a frown.

Seeing this, another official from the Records Officer hurriedly came out to be a peacemaker, pulled his colleague's sleeves and said

"Captain Chenyang, are you still worried? He is one of the hunting captains most valued by the city lord. He said that it would be better to make an evaluation after meeting the city lord, not that he would not do it, and it would be okay to wait a little longer."

The square-faced dictionary officer could hear that the round-faced dictionary officer obviously aggravated his tone when he said the four words "most valued". He obviously intended to remind him, so he stopped insisting.

"Since that's the case, it's okay to postpone it." said the Square Face Dictionary Officer.

"Then I would like to thank the two dictionary officials. I have brought the hunting back. I have to ask you to count it. Please accept this little thought." Chen Yang said with a smile of gratitude.

As he spoke, his palm also poked over and handed over the two beast cores hidden in his sleeve.

The round-faced dictionary official laughed and said, "It's okay, you're too polite", while taking it quietly.

"I will go to meet the city lord later, and arrange for you to rest first." After they left, Chen Yang turned around and walked back to Han Li and the others, and said with a smile.

"What are those two just now?" Han Li asked with a slightly frown.

"They are two record officials in Qingyang City, responsible for recording the harvest of the hunting team and registering the newly entered city people." Chen Yang glanced at the backs of the two men and replied.

"What do they mean by obeying the people and surrendering the people?" Han Li continued to ask.

"Brother Li is very good at hearing. The people who surrender to the people are divided into different levels of people in the city. The people who surrender to the people have a higher status. If you can join the city guard team or hunting team, you can get more resources. If you surrender to the people, you must be lower. You can only do some chores and you can enjoy a lot less resources." Chen Yang explained.

"The evaluation mentioned by the dictionary official is used to divide the levels, right?" Han Li nodded and asked again.

"Haha, let's talk as we walked..." Chen Yang smiled heartily and said.

After saying that, he took a step forward and led Han Li and the other two to the left side of the castle.

Han Li and Shi Chuankong looked at each other and followed slowly.

"According to the rules of Qingyang City, newcomers must undergo evaluation and record the level after they have determined it, and then they can be allocated and arranged according to different levels. However, I have seen your strength with my own eyes, so I want to report to the city lord and directly include you under my command. I don't think you are willing to separate, right?" Chen Yang said while walking.

"With this happening, wouldn't the rules in the city be broken?" Shi Chuankong frowned and asked.

"Rules are dead, people live. If the dictionary officials follow the normal procedures and distribute you to other hunting teams, wouldn't I have suffered too much loss? However, whether there is still an evaluation is required afterwards, I have to ask the city lord for this matter." Chen Yang waved his hand and said.

"It's okay." Han Li shook his head and said.

"Brother Li, don't worry, with your strength, I don't think you will be the new captain of the hunting team in the future. Don't forget my recommendation, haha..." Chen Yang looked at Han Li deeply and smiled.

While speaking, the four of them walked through three stone arches and came to a circular arch hole dug up on the mountain.

Han Li glanced over and found out that the so-called Qingyang City was actually dug out from the mountains of these two peaks.

Inside the round arch hole is a human-shaped stone statue more than ten feet high. It looks a bit similar to the human race. There are no wings or scales outside the body, but the face is very blurry and it makes people feel indescribable.

"Is this the statue of the city lord you mentioned?" Han Li said in confusion.

"You guessed this brother Li wrongly. This statue is very old, even longer than this Qingyang City. Who is the carved person? Even our Qingyang City Lord is not sure. I am afraid that apart from the Xuancheng City Lord, there are not many people who know the details." Chen Yang stopped and looked at the statue and said casually.

"It's okay, I'll just ask casually," Han Li said.

"The left peak of Qingyang City is divided into four layers. The layer we are in is a casting layer, which is the place where all the armor and weapons are cast in this city, and it is also the place where various beast magic pills are refined. Most of the armor weapons and pills are the only one who belongs to the city lord after they are refined, and they are in charge of the distribution and use matters. Only a few will spread and sell and trade in a few shops in the city." Chen Yang said.

"What about the rest?" Shi Chuankong glanced at the top of his head and asked again.

"The upper floor is the place where the people live, the upper two floors are the place where the people live, and the upper floor is the place where the people live, and the upper floor is the place where the city lord's mansion is located. You will go to my mansion to rest later, and I have to meet the city lord." Chen Yang continued.

"Then let's disturb you." Han Li then clasped his fists and smiled.

Afterwards, Chen Yang took the three of them to the bottom floor briefly, and then came all the way from a spiral up staircase to the third floor.

The third floor is obviously much smaller, and there are not as many people as the two floors below, but a spacious passage extends, and you can see the entrances opened by caves along the way.

Chenyang's cave is in the middle of the passage, and the area is quite large, making it the better of all caves.

Han Li and others followed Chen Yang into the mansion, and immediately a woman and three men came up to greet him and saluted respectfully.

The men of the four were all in a slave outfit, and only the woman was dressed in a little different way. Although the colors were monotonous blue-gray, they were cut very well, which fully highlighted their graceful figure.

However, some of the shortcomings are that this woman's appearance can only be considered ordinary and not outstanding.

"They are also considered surrenders, but they are my private property. Brother Li, if you are interested, you might as well have fun with me, the maid. You must know that here, women are scarce resources, and it is not easy to occupy one." Chen Yang's eyes glanced at the woman unscrupulously for a while and said bluntly.

"I don't have the spirit of traveling a long distance, so I'd better take a rest first." Han Li smiled and declined his kindness.

"Then you guys go to the guest room to rest first, let me meet the city lord, and then come to entertain you." Chen Yang clasped his fists and said.

Han Li and the other two immediately folded their fists and returned the salute.

"You guys, take good care of the three distinguished guests." Chen Yang solemnly ordered, then turned around and left.

The charming woman with an ordinary appearance came forward to accuse her, twisted her water snake-like waist, and led Han Li and the other two to their respective guest rooms along the corridor in the mansion.

After he left, Shi Chuankong and Cai Taoist left their living room one after another and came to Han Li.
