When they saw the row of houses outside the mountain, Mo Zixuan, who was walking in the front, and Su Xiaofan, who was walking in the back, breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The reason why Mo Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief was that everyone was finally brought out intact. Although everyone was injured, they were still alive and the injuries were not serious.
And the purpose of this training has been achieved. Not counting Su Xiaofan, each of the seven people from Yanjing has seen blood on their hands and has passed the test of actual combat.
The reason why Su Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief was simpler. He could no longer pretend. If he stayed in the restricted area for a few more days, his cultivation would definitely be exposed.
"Um?"
Just when Su Xiaofan was approaching the exit of the restricted area and had just walked out three to five meters, he suddenly felt a chill on his body and stopped quickly.
At this time, Mo Zixuan, Su Xiaoxiao and the others had all left the restricted area, but just as they were leaving, about fifty meters away from the restricted area, a group of people with loaded guns pointed their weapons at the restricted area.
To be precise, those weapons were aimed at Su Xiaofan and Duobao, who were about to come out, because those people ordered Mo Zixuan and others to move away from the front.
The tiger cat also felt the threat, and the body that had stepped out of the restricted area slowly stepped back, lowered its body and let out a threatening growl.
Thermal weapons are useless in the restricted area, but as long as they leave the restricted area, both Su Xiaofan and Duobao will be fatally threatened, not to mention that there seem to be heavy weapons such as rockets on the opposite side.
Su Xiaofan raised his brows, and just as he was about to speak, several figures appeared at the entrance to the restricted area, led by none other than Lu'an.
"Uncle Liu'an, what does this mean?"
Su Xiaofan frowned. He no longer had the playful smile of the past. Anyone who was threatened like this would probably not be able to smile.
"Xiaofan, I'm sorry, it's just a normal defense mechanism..."
Lu'an smiled bitterly and said, "Has your tiger cat evolved into an extraordinary creature?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Su Xiaofan nodded, with a somewhat unkind tone, "Is there any problem with this?"
"The threshold value on it alerted the detector..."
Lu'an didn't pay attention to Su Xiaofan's tone and said: "In order to prevent Chaofan from going out privately in the restricted area, we installed an instrument here to detect the energy threshold. They were alerted by the sound of the alarm."
After hearing Lu'an's explanation, Su Xiaofan immediately understood that preventing extraordinary creatures from coming out was not just a matter of words, but a real defense. Once extraordinary creatures came out, they would be fatally attacked.
"Uncle, the restricted area is so big, they may not only go through the exit, right?" Su Xiaofan said with some confusion.
"Huh? You didn't know there was a boundary wall in the restricted area?" Lu'an looked at Su Xiaofan in surprise.
"Boundary wall? What the hell?" Su Xiaofan looked confused. He had never heard of this word.
"The boundary wall is the boundary wall, you can enter but not exit."
Lu'an saw that Su Xiaofan really didn't know, so he quickly explained it to him.
The boundary wall appears together with the space cracks. The ends of the qi that seep out of the space cracks and extend outward will be shrouded by the boundary wall.
The biggest feature of the boundary wall is that it can be entered but not exited. The spatial cracks are undefended from the outside. You can enter from anywhere without any obstacles.
But it's impossible to get out. The boundary wall is like a cage, trapping people or animals who enter.
Each boundary wall space will have an entrance and exit, and only from here can you freely enter and exit the restricted area.
Therefore, the relevant departments only need to set up defenses at the entrance and exit of the restricted area to firmly control the entry and exit of people in the restricted area and prevent the escape of extraordinary creatures.
"So, the society outside the boundary wall should be kind?" Su Xiaofan asked.
"I don't know. The boundary wall is not alive. No one can tell what's going on."
Lu'an shook his head and said to Su Xiaofan, "It's troublesome to alert the detector. You wait here for a while and I'll go communicate with them over there..."
The restricted area defense has its own special system, and Lu'an has to communicate with them before they can release Su Xiaofan and Duobao. Otherwise, if extraordinary creatures escape, it will be a disaster.
"Brother, are you okay?" Su Xiaoxiao, who went out first, shouted loudly.
"It's okay, Xiaoxiao, you go out first, I'll go out later." Su Xiaofan replied.
Mo Zixuan and the others needed to check the harvest and pay a certain proportion of the income to the relevant departments. Su Xiaofan motioned for them to handle these matters first.
After Lu'an left, it took more than an hour before he returned to the exit of the restricted area. Next to him was a middle-aged man whom Su Xiaofan had never seen before.
"Middle stage of foundation building?" Su Xiaofan raised his eyes. He could feel the energy of that person, which was much stronger than that of Liu'an.
"Xiaofan, this is Minister Hualong." Lu'an introduced the person to Su Xiaofan. It turned out that the top leader of the relevant department had arrived.
"Isn't Jinlin just a thing in the pond? It turns into a dragon when it encounters a storm. What a good name!"
Su Xiaofan nodded towards the person who came. He had no connection with this person, and he didn't want to call someone "senior" when meeting someone.
"I didn't have to choose the name my parents gave me."
The visitor laughed and didn't act like a minister, but it made Su Xiaofan feel good about him.
"Come out. Your tiger cat has been registered before going in. Even if it has evolved into a transcendent, it is allowed to come out."
Hualong waved his hand behind him, and the group of people quickly withdrew. Su Xiaofan's feeling of being locked disappeared immediately.
"Xiao Su, you have really gained a lot this time."
Hualong looked at the big gourd Su Xiaofan was carrying on his back and couldn't help but raise his thumb and said: "You are the first one to get so much monkey wine from those monkeys..."
"Trade, fair trade." Su Xiaofan chuckled and took Duobao out of the restricted area.
Su Xiaofan could feel that Hualong was still a bit wary of Duobao, and was not at all as relaxed as Lu'an was when facing Duobao.
However, Su Xiaofan can also understand that extraordinary creatures have always been wild and untamable and unwilling to be subordinate to humans. There is also a possibility that the tiger cat will turn its back on humans after being promoted to extraordinary.
Despite being warned many times by Su Xiaofan, Duobao showed no hostility toward Lu'an and Hualong and followed Su Xiaofan honestly.
Seeing this scene, Hualong's tense nerves suddenly relaxed a lot. He was really afraid that the tiger cat would break out and hurt someone just now.
"Xiao Fan, what you have in this is the Monkey Bar brewed by extraordinary monkeys?"
Lu'an patted the big gourd and said: "Old rules, you come out of the restricted area, but you have to pay the membership fee..."
"Minister Hua, since I have encountered this wine, I have to share it!"
Lu'an is an alcoholic, and to him, the most valuable thing in the Qingcheng restricted area is monkey wine.
Not to mention the monkey wine brewed by extraordinary monkeys, he would never let go of ordinary monkey wine.
"Huh? Senior Brother Lu'an, do you want to take advantage of me?"
Su Xiaofan glanced at Lu'an with a half-smile, and the title changed immediately.
I call you uncle just for the sake of my master. Speaking of which, you and I are not from the same sect. In a few years, if I advance to the realm of Yangshen, I will call you senior instead.
"Senior brother, just senior brother, just give me some wine to drink. It's not me who wants you, but the people you should pay when entering and exiting the restricted area..."
Lu'an chuckled and didn't care about Su Xiaofan's title at all, but he emphasized the word "member" very tightly, which showed that our relationship is a relationship and business matters are business matters.
"Senior Brother Lu'an, if you want monkey wine, you can do it, but you don't have to be a member..."
Su Xiaofan laughed, turned over his hand and took out a token, which was the disciple token given to him when he entered the Qingcheng Sect.
"Oh, why did I forget this? You are a disciple of the Sword Sect."
Lu'an slapped his head, looked back at Hualong, and said, "Mr. Hua, this rule needs to be changed. Why doesn't Jian Zong need to pay membership fees when entering and exiting the restricted area?"
"The Pingjian Sect protects the peace of the restricted area for a hundred years!"
Suddenly, a voice came from the restricted area, and Zhao Yijian's figure appeared in front of several people.
"Brother Zhao!"
Seeing Zhao Yijian, Hua Long also greeted him quickly, "Don't listen to Lu'an's nonsense. It's okay. You sect disciples don't need to call themselves members when they enter."
"Senior brother."
Seeing Zhao Yijian, Su Xiaofan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He knew that Senior Brother Zhao was afraid that he would suffer a loss, so he came here specifically to support himself.
"Lu'an, are you itchy? You want to blackmail even my junior brother?"
Zhao Yijian stared at Lu'an, his eyes as sharp as a sword's light, making Lu'an feel uncomfortable all over.
"Zhao Yijian, are you the only one close to Xiaofan?"
Lu'an shouted dissatisfied, "His master and I are close friends. How could we blackmail him just to get some wine..."
Lu'an knew he was in the wrong, and his voice became softer and softer. If Jing Shizhen found out about this, he didn't know how the old guy would bury him.
"If you want to drink, just drink. Why talk about sharing money? It hurts feelings..."
Hualong also glared at Lu'an, turned around and said with a smile: "Xiaofan, Brother Zhao, let's go inside and sit down for a cup of tea. We have to register this extraordinary tiger cat."
"Hey, you are no longer a human being with me." Lu'an was a little dumbfounded. He just said something about his family's wealth, and was actually disliked by everyone.
"Uncle, there is monkey wine, and it is monkey wine made by extraordinary monkeys. Please don't make it public yet..."
Su Xiaofan looked at Lu'an, and a spiritual consciousness passed over him quietly.
Su Xiaofan just pretended to want to fall out, but in fact he was not going to Lu'an, but to show it to the relevant departments.
Su Xiaofan just wanted to express his attitude. My brother is not a soft persimmon, nor can you manipulate him casually. The reputation of Xiaoyao Sect is not very good, but the reputation of Jianzong can still be used to bluff people.
Things were just as Su Xiaofan expected. If he hadn't been tougher just now, perhaps Minister Hua would have let Lu'an collect the money.
After he expressed his attitude, and with Zhao Yijian coming out to support him, things naturally became extremely harmonious.
As for Lu'an, after hearing Su Xiaofan's voice transmission, his eyes were already narrowed in laughter. He couldn't care less about being angry when the extraordinary monkey was drinking wine.
Being able to practice to the foundation building stage, Lu'an is certainly not stupid. He also saw what Su Xiaofan meant and deliberately said a few more words to let Su Xiaofan use the topic.
"Xiao Fan, a batch of meteorites has arrived. Don't mention it yet. Otherwise, if Minister Hua finds out about it, he may have to ask you to exchange it for monkey wine."
In Lu'an's heart, Su Xiaofan can be classified as one of his own, and getting some meteorites to take advantage of the public would naturally be done to Su Xiaofan.
"Okay, thank you very much, uncle!"
Hearing this, Su Xiaofan was overjoyed. The Heavenly Thunder Bamboo had removed 300 points of repair value. His repair value had dropped below 1,000, and now he could finally replenish it.
While talking and laughing, a few people came to the row of wooden houses.
Su Xiaofan saw that Mo Zixuan and his sister were counting items in the wooden houses in front of them, and the elixirs had all been classified together.
"Brother, are you out?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked up and saw her brother, and ran out quickly, "Brother, the herbs I collected can be exchanged for 600 merit points. Do you have anything to exchange for? I will exchange them for you!"
"Huh? You're pretty good, little girl. You can collect so many elixirs the first time you go in?"
Hua Long looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a smile on his face and said loudly: "We should all carry it with us. They are good seedlings. They can only accept half of the students in this group..."
"Yes, Minister, then I'll take half of it!"
The staff in the room naturally knew Hualong. The head of the department spoke up, and the people below him had no right to question it.
"Ah? You are Minister Hua, thank you, Minister!" Su Xiaoxiao looked at Hua Long in surprise and bowed quickly.
"Well, this is also the result of your hard work."
Hualong smiled and nodded, "Your cultivation is not stable, so don't advance too quickly. Wait until you go back to school to get a Yuan-Guarding Pill."
"Thank you, Minister Hua!"
This time it was Su Xiaofan's turn to say thank you.
Not to mention, if someone can become this minister, his level is very high. Su Xiaofan has no choice but to appreciate these two favors.
"These old foxes."
Su Xiaofan smiled bitterly in his heart and said to his sister: "Go ahead and clean up the supplies first. Keep what you need and exchange what you don't need for achievement points."
"Okay, brother, I'm going back then."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. For some reason, she suddenly felt that her brother was a little different. When she walked back to the room, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but frown.
"Aura, yes, aura, why is my brother's aura different?"
Su Xiaoxiao finally remembered that even if he stood next to a big shot like Minister Hua, his brother seemed not to be left behind at all.
"Is it true that my brother is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?"
Based on Su Xiaoxiao's understanding of her brother, Su Xiaofan could definitely do such a thing.
"I hate it, I was fooled by him again!"
The more Su Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more wrong she became. She couldn't help but clenched her fists tightly and rolled her eyes at the place where those people disappeared.
"Xiao Xiao, why did Minister Hua get rid of so many people for us?"
Entering the room, Mo Zixuan grabbed Su Xiaoxiao. She had met Minister Hua, so she naturally knew about Minister Hua's temper. She had always been arrogant, so why did she open the back door for them today?
"I don't know either, maybe it's because we are all miserable, right?"
Su Xiaoxiao didn't dare to tell the truth, and they were really miserable. While they were cleaning up supplies, there were doctors cleaning and bandaging the wounds of their classmates.
"Because we are more miserable?"
Mo Zixuan looked out the door thoughtfully. She had just seen Su Xiaofan and Minister Hua walking together.
Su Xiaofan didn't bother to guess what his sisters were thinking. There was an old fox in front of him to deal with.
"Brother Zhao, Xiao Su, have tea!"
Hualong boiled water himself, brewed a pot of tea for several people, and said, "Xiao Su, this is a wild tea from the restricted area. Although it is not famous, the taste is excellent."
“Really good.”
Su Xiaofan took a sip, nodded, and said: "Minister Hua, I wonder what registration Duobao needs to do? I think we should do it now."
Originally, Su Xiaofan was not in such a hurry and could still go around with the old fox for a few rendezvous, but just now Lu'an said that the meteorite had arrived, and he couldn't help it.
"The main thing is to test the direction of its evolution."
When it came to business, Hualong's expression became a little more serious.
"All extraordinary creatures are actually registered in the department. We must know ourselves and our enemies so that we can better defend ourselves to prevent them from coming out to cause trouble.
Of course, this tiger cat is with you and should not be hostile to humans. We just need to have a general understanding of its habits and evolved abilities."
Hualong knew that extraordinary creatures could understand human speech, so he was very polite in his words and did not say the word pet.
"I really don't know what capabilities it will have after it evolves?"
Su Xiaofan gave a bitter smile, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said, "Let's go outside, the space here is too small."
"Okay!" Hualong nodded, and the group left the room again, followed by a staff member at the door.
"There should be two evolutionary directions for tiger cats."
Su Xiaofan didn't want to hide anything, and he didn't want tiger cats and humans to become enemies.
"One is speed."
Su Xiaofan picked up a stone from the ground and said to Duobao: "I throw it out, you pick it up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xiaofan threw the stone vigorously. His strength was so great now that with this force, the stone flew out faster than the bullets coming out of the barrel.
But just when Su Xiaofan threw the stone and just retracted his hand, Duobao's figure suddenly appeared in front of Su Xiaofan from the side of Su Xiaofan, as if he had only moved a small step.
But everyone saw that Duobao was biting the stone thrown by Su Xiaofan in his mouth.
In other words, when Su Xiaofan threw the stone, Duobao had already moved, and its speed was faster than the flying stone, so it directly intercepted it and brought it back.
"Such a speed? I'm afraid even a cultivator with an out-of-body Yin spirit can't match it, right?"
Hualong looked at Duobao in surprise. They had set up ranks for hundreds of extraordinary creatures, but in terms of speed, this tiger cat ranked first.
"Record." Hualong said to the staff following him: "Extraordinary at the same level, the fastest!"
"Minister Hua, are there different levels of transcendence?" Su Xiaofan was a little curious after hearing Hua Long's words.
"Of course they have to be divided into different levels."
Hualong laughed when he heard this: "The tiger cat is extraordinary, and the senior Qingfeng in the restricted area is also extraordinary, but can the two be the same?"
"Lu'an will explain these details to you later, but let's test its other abilities first."
Seeing that Su Xiaofan still wanted to ask more questions, Hualong waved his hand. He was now full of interest in tiger cats.
"Okay, Minister Hua, do you have any defensive magic weapons?"
Su Xiaofan nodded. He also wanted to know how strong the tiger cat's offensive power was now.
"Defensive magic weapon?"
Hualong thought for a moment and said to the staff member: "Go and get the turtle back that was left behind after the mountain turtle died last time."
"A few years ago, there was an old mountain turtle in the Qingcheng restricted area who evolved into a transcendent. Senior Qingfeng was a little dissatisfied and killed him. Turtle's back actually gave us an advantage."
Hualong explained to Su Xiaofan: "Although the turtle back is not a magic weapon, its defensive power is comparable to that of a magic weapon. It is most suitable to use it for testing."
After only waiting for seven or eight minutes, the staff member walked over holding a huge tortoise shell with both hands. When he came closer, his face was already red from suppressing it.
"Such a big mountain turtle?"
Seeing the tortoise shell, Su Xiaofan was also a little surprised. The oval tortoise shell was about one and a half meters long and one meter wide. No wonder the staff in the late stage of Qi training had such difficulty holding it.
"After injecting true energy, the toughness of the tortoise shell can be improved a lot."
Hualong was ready to test it himself. There was a handle made later inside the tortoise shell. Hualong lifted it up with one hand and said, "Let Duobao attack and try it..."
After Hualong injected the true essence, the surface of the tortoise shell faintly showed a layer of fluorescence. Su Xiaofan gestured to Duobao, and Duobao's figure swooped to the front of the tortoise shell.
There were several cultivators at the Three Flowers Gathering Realm at the scene, but no one saw how Duobao attacked. All they saw was that the tortoise shell suddenly glowed brightly, and the sound of metal clashing reached everyone's ears.
Hualong's body behind the tortoise shell didn't move at all, but the tiger cat that grabbed a handful of the tortoise shell took advantage of the situation and bounced into the air, curled up and bounced back again, all the sharp claws in the two flesh pads of the forelimbs stretched out, and hit hard
Caught on the tortoise shell.
The sound made this time was a bit like the sound of rubbing glass, but it was a hundred times more harsh than that sound. It was like a sonic attack. The staff next to me frowned in pain.
"alright!"
Hualong's voice came out, Su Xiaofan quickly stopped Duobao, and then everyone's eyes turned to the tortoise shell.
"You actually broke through a little bit of the tortoise shell's defense?"
Everyone could see clearly that the tortoise shell with lines now had a few scratches. Although it was not very deep, it did cause damage to the tortoise shell.
"Record, the claws are sharp, comparable to low-level magic weapons."
There was a look of surprise in Hua Long's eyes, and he said to Su Xiaofan: "This turtle shell was cleaned after being blasted with cannonballs, and no traces were left. The attack power of your tiger cat is very powerful!"
"Okay, the test is over, let's go back and have tea..."
Hualong was very satisfied with the test just now. In fact, what he valued most was not the tiger cat's speed and attack power. There was one thing he didn't mention in the test report.
That is the obedience of the tiger cat. The several commands given by Su Xiaofan just now also indirectly tested the obedience of the tiger cat. It did obey Su Xiaofan's words.
In this way, Hua Long felt relieved, otherwise he would not dare to put an uncontrolled extraordinary creature into modern society.
