After more than twenty days, the airship traveled by Yeze and his party crossed the northern continent, flew over the Strait of Souls, and finally entered the southern continent.
The climate in the Northern Continent is cold. Even in the hot summer, the tops of many mountains are white with snow. Sitting on an airship and looking down in the sky, you will often see something plain and elegant. However, it is different in the Southern Continent.
Compared with the plain and elegant Northern Continent, the Southern Continent is full of lush green.
After passing the coastline, the airship lowered its altitude. Yeze and others sat in the rest area, chatting and admiring the scenery of the southern continent.
"It's so beautiful..." Shui'er murmured, "I really want to go for a walk."
Ye Ze smiled, turned to the Fire Sect and asked, "How long until we arrive?"
"There are three airship landing points in the southern continent. Ours is the closest and will land soon." Huo Zong said: "But it is far away from the imperial capital. After getting off the airship to change carriages and horses, we still have to walk for more than half a month."
"It doesn't matter, just treat it as an outing." Ye Ze glanced at Shui'er.
Huo Fang nodded: "There are still more than three months until the new emperor takes the throne. During this period, they should not do anything to the general."
Peter asked curiously: "Is the Nanyan Empire going to change its emperor? Hey, I'm so lucky, I happened to watch the excitement."
Ye Ze and Huo Fang looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
After some time, it was getting dusk, and the airship slowly landed.
When I walked out of the airship hatch, I immediately felt a wave of heat rushing towards me.
Although the Fire Brothers had said before that it would be very hot outside, when they actually felt it, Ye Ze and others who were used to the cool weather were still a little uncomfortable. Especially Pete, who had been living in the Snowy Mountains for many years, was complaining a lot.
stop.
Ye Ze looked around and said: "This is more or less a landing place for airships. Even if it gets late, it won't be so deserted."
This is a small town. Its architectural style is not much different from that of the Northern Continent, but it does not look prosperous at all. The houses are a bit bulky, and except for the guards, no pedestrians can be seen, and no noisy sounds can be heard.
Huo Zong went directly to talk to the guards. Huo Fang explained: "Strictly speaking, this is not a city, but a fortress. Next to it is the Blood Basin, a level four area."
"Level 4 area!!" Before Yeze could speak, Peter jumped up first.
The fourth level area means that there are complete beast demons, and the number will never be small. One of the reasons why Peter left the Snowy Mountains is that he did not want to face the complete beast demons alone. But he did not expect that he would arrive like this just after getting off the airship.
a high-risk area.
"That's right." The Fire Sect had just come back from the negotiation. Not sure if it was intentional, he said: "The fortress was just besieged by a beast demon today, and there may be another attack tonight. Everyone should try to stay in the room and not go out tonight."
"I want to go back..." Peter said seriously: "I'm very happy to meet you, but I think it's better to go back to the Snowy Mountains."
Huo Fang laughed loudly and said: "It's okay. The main function of this fortress is surveillance and as a transfer station for some demon hunters. Troll monsters will not approach here easily. Moreover, even if a monster monster attacks, there will be garrison troops to deal with it.
Nothing will happen to us, it’s very safe..."
When everyone was teasing Peter and joking, Yeze suddenly felt something was wrong and turned his head sharply. In the far corner, a figure flashed away.
who is it?
Ye Ze frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.
I am not familiar with the place in the Nanyan Empire, and I only came to the Scarlet Fortress on a temporary basis. Even if there are enemies, it is impossible to wait here to block me. It is probably a routine surveillance by the Nanyan side, and I am too suspicious.
After appeasing Peter, Ye Ze and his party left the square under the leadership of the Fire Sect.
After a few people left, the figure that Ye Ze noticed appeared again, looking at Ye Ze's back with a gloomy light in his eyes.
"You're really lucky. I didn't expect you to come here. In that case, let the Bloody Plains be your burial place..."
………………
The Fire Brothers have already disclosed their identities before. Now they are not considered members of the military, but are employed by the military. Except for the occasional need to take on some tasks issued by the military, they enjoy a high degree of freedom. Although in the military
He has no position, but he still has a status no less than that of an officer.
Ye Ze and others lived in a residence arranged by Huo Fang, next to the military station, which made the anxious Peter feel more at ease.
In the evening, everyone had their own rest. Late at night, Ye Ze took the waist tag obtained by Huo Fang and walked out of the fortress.
It is forbidden to summon beast monsters in the fortress. If Yeze wants to seal the wind leech, he can only go outside. The fortress is strictly defended. Even if you have a pass, you can only go out but not enter. Therefore, Yeze chose to go outside in the second half of the night.
Go out of the city and wait until dawn when you can come back.
The fortress gate was blocked by a huge iron gate, with two rows of soldiers standing below.
Before Ye Ze could get closer, he was shouted at.
"who?!"
"Brothers, I have to go out to do some errands." Ye Ze held up his waistband and walked over.
An officer took the badge, looked at it, and muttered: "You demon hunters are really desperate for your lives, and you are still going out at this time."
There are many demon hunters living in the fortress. Due to the need to hunt monsters, they occasionally go out in the middle of the night. The officers are not surprised by this. As long as there is a relevant pass certificate, they will be allowed to go.
However, it was impossible to open the city gate at this time. A soldier led Ye Ze up to the fortress wall, preparing to lower Ye Ze down in a hanging basket. Ye Ze waved his hand and declined, and jumped down directly.
Not long after Ye Ze left, another person arrived at the entrance of the fortress and also showed a waist card.
The officer didn't pay much attention, and casually took the badge and took a look. But when he saw it clearly, he suddenly became excited and stood up straight.
"grown ups!"
The man sighed, walked up to the city wall, and jumped down.
The man left for a long time, and the officer stood still in a daze.
……………………
"Those who are approaching, soldiers, fighting, are all in formation, lined up, moving forward! The seal of the outer lion is sealed!"
There was a soft buzzing sound, and the demon-sealing formation appeared on the spot. Yeze wrote a blood contract and sealed the wind leech.
"**, it was successful in one go. It's so abnormal..." Feeling the wind leech in his body, Ye Ze had a very ridiculous feeling.
He specially found a secluded place and prepared for a long-term war of resistance. Unexpectedly, the Demon-Sealing Array succeeded in one go, which made Ye Ze extremely uncomfortable.
Lolita told Ye Ze that the beast demon in the sealing card is a contract beast demon, but the beast demon sealed in the body is the natal beast demon. In the tomb guard clan, the method of sealing the natal beast demon is not a secret.
Moreover, in addition to the application of combat power and the evolution of the beast demon, the natal beast demon has other important meanings. Lolita is not sure what it is. But her father told her that the natal beast demon is of great significance, and it is not necessary before the dark gold level.
According to Lolita, only the dark gold level can seal the natal beast demons, but the five beast demons currently in Yeze are all natal beast demons, and one of them is an unstable complete body.
However, Ye Ze couldn't think about the matter of dark gold level yet. The headache now was the gold level.
Ye Ze only felt that he was only a thin line away from the gold level, but he couldn't cross it.
**, how to break this damn barrier? Do we have to be like Birba and find a whetstone?
It is basically impossible to find such a character among the silver level. If you want to find one, you can only find a gold level one.
Peter? No, it's too weak. Deimos? Forget it. When you want to attack the dark gold, you can consider him. Birba seems suitable, but you can't find him now.
Yeze couldn't go back to the fortress now, so he was squatting on the ground and thinking wildly. At this moment, a figure came from a distance.
"It's so relaxing. Ye Ze, are you ready to face death..."
Yeze stood up slowly and said quietly: "You are very good at concealing your aura. If you don't speak, I thought it was my illusion. You...are you?!"
When the man came closer and saw his face clearly with the help of the moonlight in the sky, Ye Ze couldn't help but be startled.
The former third saint, Mu Kongchen.
After the Saint Trial, Yeze also paid attention to Mu Kongchen's whereabouts, but no one knew where he went.
Although it is not the end of the world after losing the status of a saint, there will definitely be a serious psychological gap and a lot of humiliation. Ye Ze originally thought that Mu Kongchen was practicing in seclusion in a hidden place.
Yeze was mentally prepared to face Mu Kongchen's revenge, but he never expected to meet him in the Nanyan Empire.
"You came on the same airship as us?" Ye Ze didn't have any hatred towards Mu Kongchen. It was just that in the trial, the weak and the strong were the only ones, and many things were inevitable choices.
Mu Kongchen sneered and said: "Before you came, I had already returned to the Nanyan Empire on another airship. It was my luck that we met here, and it was your misfortune..."
"Don't look at me with such bitterness and hatred. It's just a saint's position, what's that? With your strength, if you take it back next year, it will be over..." This time when he went to Nanyan, Yeze had a lot to do.
Ye Ze didn't know Mu Kongchen's background, but he was obviously Nan Yan's resident. Before ensuring Shui'er's safety and rescuing Uncle Feng, Ye Ze didn't want to make too many grudges.
Ye Ze was already showing his goodwill, but Mu Kongchen clearly didn't appreciate it and was even a little angry.
"What do you know?! Do you know how important the title of a saint is to me? Do you know how many things will happen in one year? Once there is a problem in the family, even if I get the saint again next year
What’s the use of being a disciple?”
Listening to Mu Kongchen's roar, Ye Ze became more and more confused.
Although he didn't understand what Mu Kongchen was talking about, Ye Ze also understood some of the underlying meaning. For an individual, being a saint is nothing more than an honor and a rare cultivation resource for ordinary people. But for a certain person
For a certain force or a certain family, the hidden things behind the saints are complicated.
Looking at Mu Kongchen's red eyes, Yeze finally gave up the naive idea that finally came up and said calmly: "Okay, what do you want to do?"
"How to do it? Hahaha..." Mu Kongchen laughed loudly: "This is not a snowy mountain, and there are no bullshit rules..."
The laughter suddenly stopped, and Mu Kongchen's expression turned cold: "Let's continue our unfinished battle. Let's see if you can leave alive..."
"Since it doesn't make sense, we have no choice but to fight." Yeze shook his wrist: "Perhaps, you can help me break through that barrier..." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Piaotian
