Xiao Hu, who had just come out, was as energetic as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. He breathed hard the aura of the ancient world in the air. As he absorbed more and more of the aura of the ancient world, his body began to undergo strange changes.
The wings on his body began to become more shiny. In this air, the feathers on the little tiger's wings gradually turned golden yellow, and his whole body was changing, as if he was receiving some kind of baptism.
Lu Ming wanted to try to contact Lu Long in his body and ask him if he knew what happened to Xiaohu, but he failed to contact him three times. Since Lu Long helped Lu Ming last time, he only said, "I'm tired."
, he needed to fall asleep for a long time and never appeared again. After all, Lu Long only appeared with a trace of his soul, which was already his limit.
Xiaohu stood there motionless, looking extremely serious. Lu Ming did not dare to disturb him, but stood here quietly to protect Xiaohu. After all, this was not a kind place.
Three days later, Xiaohu woke up from his eyes full of confusion, and his eyes gradually became clear. Two rays of light shot out, and a century-old tree was instantly reduced to ashes. A wave of energy erupted from his body that shocked Lu Ming.
momentum.
"Roar!" There was a roar, the sound was like a huge thunder, and his whole body exuded the strength of the middle stage of the second grade, and his eyes flickered with excitement as he looked at Lu Ming.
"What are you?" Lu Ming has been watching the changes that have taken place in Xiaohu. After Xiaohu's baptism, his whole body has undergone tremendous changes, and his strength has also increased from the initial level of the second level to the middle level of the second level!
"I feel like I'm going home when I come here. The atmosphere here makes me very familiar and familiar, and it is also of great benefit to my cultivation." Xiaohu said in a child's voice.
"It seems that you are really not an ordinary spiritual beast. It is impossible to say that this place will be very beneficial to your strength growth. If this is the case, then we will stay here for a while." Lu Ming said, secretly surprised by what Xiaohu said,
"Xiaohu, please go to the surrounding cities with me to understand the environment here, or stay here and continue to practice."
"Hey, I won't be staying here for a day or two anyway, so I'll show you what's different here." Xiaohu said.
After flying fifty miles, Lu Ming and Xiao Hu landed on the outskirts of a city. Most of the monks here had tamed their own spiritual beasts. They were part of the monks' strength. Of course, the grades of these spiritual beasts were not high.
Most of them are second-grade or lower spiritual beasts. Only martial monks have second-grade spiritual beasts as protective spiritual beasts.
Therefore, after the little tiger shrank its body, it rested on Lu Ming's shoulder and turned into a docile and cute little white tiger. It attracted the attention of many monks around him, but when he saw Lu Ming's evil look and radiating
After breathing out the powerful aura, I no longer dare to have other thoughts.
After Lu Ming handed over a spiritual stone to a guard at the door and entered the city, he saw some people discussing something together. At a glance, these people knew that they were new monks here, so they leaned over there.
"It's a bit inconvenient to talk here. Fellow Taoist Xu, how about we go over there and talk later?" A tall man in brocade clothes looked around the stone house and at the monk in the corner, and suggested.
"Outside? Okay." The scar-faced man agreed nonchalantly.
The big man in brocade clothes was overjoyed, but then he seemed to think of something. When he saw Lu Ming walking towards this side, he actually managed to smile at Lu Ming.
"Senior, why don't we listen together? Maybe we can cooperate!" The big man in golden clothes looked like he wanted to win over Lu Ming, but the spiritual power emanating from Lu Ming made him tremble, which made him a little nervous when he spoke.
nervous.
After hearing this, Lu Ming blinked and laughed. "Okay, Li wants to hear it." Lu Ming said with a smile, leaning towards the two of them.
"What? This fellow Taoist is not the same as you guys?" The scar-faced monk was a little surprised when he saw this scene.
"He just came here with us, I didn't know him before!" The dark-faced middle-aged man seemed to have a hint of hostility towards Lu Ming, and suddenly said. These words made the big man in brocade frown, but he didn't
say what.
After Xu Daoyou nodded, he also said nothing, and several people followed him one after another. Lu Ming followed them to the outside of a house and was looking around in surprise.
This place was completely different from what he heard on the teleportation array. The place where they appeared was actually in a small city. Although it was not big and very simple, with a radius of only more than 20 miles, it looked like a gourd.
.
This dilapidated stone house with a teleportation array inside is located in the center of this stone city. It is built on a high platform similar to an altar. There are also steep stone steps on each side because the terrain is higher.
, so standing on this high platform, you can have a clear view of the surrounding area.
Around the city, there is a symbolic stone wall that was once about three or four feet high. A few feet outside the stone wall flashes a layer of condensed white light, protecting the entire city. But behind the stone wall
Inside, there are high-rise stone houses of different sizes. But the strange thing is that there are no attics or the like, they are all bungalows.
At first glance, although the city is full of houses, there are actually not many independent buildings. Either some stone houses are connected together, or some bungalows occupy an astonishing area, often tens of feet wide.
What shocked Lu Ming even more was that there were actually some mortals and monks mixed together in this stone city at this moment, walking around on the rough black stone roads, instead of rushing in and out of some stone houses.
It wouldn't matter if it was just like that. What surprised Lu Ming was that most of these mortals were young and beautiful women, all dressed up as colorfully as butterflies. The other mortals were some strong men and more delicate ones.
young man.
While Lu Ming was in a daze, the big man in brocade and others also walked out under the leadership of the scarred man. When they saw this small town, they all looked shocked.
You know, since they plan to come to the Honghuang Mountains, they will naturally know everything in advance. From the information they have seen before, none of them is completely consistent with this.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, take out the jade slips that contained the information about Hulu City. Let's look at it again. Did we miss something?" A strange look flashed across the face of the big man in brocade clothes, and he said in a deep voice.
"I, let me take a look again!" The lady surnamed Liu hurriedly rummaged through the storage bag.
"Fellow Taoists, there is no need to look for any information. Most of the information you have seen about Gourd City before is forged. Of course you will be surprised." Zhang Le waved his hand and stopped the woman from looking for the jade slips.
"Forged, what do you mean?" The look of the handsome man in brocade changed.
"It's very simple. This Gourd City is different from other cities. All the monks who came back from here have been frightened and given strict orders. They can only leak the same information in the same way. Otherwise, disaster will be imminent. Fellow Daoist Yi, you guys
When I arrived on this island, I really don't know whether I should say I was lucky or unlucky!" Zhang Le said with a half-smile.
"The same caliber! Even if you can do such a thing, how can you be a Holy Sect?" Mrs. Liu showed an uneasy look.
"Although it is not the Holy Sect, this place is indeed ruled by a powerful force. Even the Holy Sect is not willing to offend this force easily." Zhang Le said with a sigh.
As soon as these words came out, Lu Ming's eyebrows jumped at the side, not to mention the big man in brocade and others. They looked at each other at this moment!
"Hehe! In fact, this place is not as bad as you think. To a certain extent, there may even be a good place that some monks can only dream of."
"This Gourd City is the first city here, and it is also the only city within a thousand miles. As long as you have strength or a lot of spiritual stones and crystal cores, this is a paradise for monks. You can enjoy and buy what you have found in other prehistoric mountains.
Things that cannot be obtained in the city, whether it is a top-notch dual-cultivation furnace, a powerful magical weapon, a priceless spiritual beast, or materials that are rare to find in a century, you can find them all here." After the scar-faced monk smiled, he suddenly changed to a
He said loudly in a tone full of temptation. It attracted several mortals and monks passing by to look here a few more times, but then they went about their business as if nothing had happened.
However, when these words were heard by the big man in robes and others, they became even more surprised and confused, while Lu Ming continued to look around as usual, as if he had not heard these words at all.
This situation came into the eyes of the scar-faced monk, who looked at Lu Ming a little surprised. Although he felt the difference in Lu Ming, he saw more people, and there were more people who were pretending to be serious.
Gone.
"Brother Xu, can you give us a detailed introduction to this place?" The big man in gilded clothes took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.
"Of course. Since I can't leave right now, I'll take a few people for a walk and explain it to you. This is much more effective than just talking in vain. As long as you have any benefits in the future, don't forget it.
Just Xu." Zhang Le seemed to have completely recovered from his depression and said very cheerfully.
"Then there's Brother Lao Xu. This place seems to be really different from ordinary cities." The big man in brocade clothes stared at a male monk and said with a hint of surprise on his face.
This male figure hugged a mortal woman on the street and walked in a grand manner, while other mortals and monks passing by turned a blind eye.
Zhang Le smiled slightly when he saw this. Without saying anything, he led a few people to a large stone house nearby.
Lu Ming had noticed this black stone house for a long time. It was one of the largest houses in the city.
Looking from a distance, there were two charming mortal women standing at the door of the house. Many monks came in and out of this place frequently, and these two women greeted each other with smiles on their faces.
"Remember! Fighting is strictly prohibited outside the special arena here. Fighting is also strictly prohibited in the city. And the consequences of violating it are that there is no other way out except physical and spiritual destruction." On the way, Zhang Le began to look solemn.
warned.
"No way, it's so serious!" The dark-faced middle-aged man was startled when he heard this, and said with some surprise.
"That's true, but also, the monks who enter this city can rest assured that they are safe. As far as I know, no one who seeks revenge in the city can escape from the city alive. After all, it is said that
There is a senior Martial Emperor who is stationed here all year round." Zhang Le explained slowly.
"Brother Martial Emperor!" Not only did the look of the big man in brocade change greatly, but the faces of several other people also looked horrified.
Lu Ming was even more shocked. He didn't expect to hear that there were monks at the Martial Emperor realm sitting here. It seemed to be true.
"Okay! If you have anything to say, let's talk about it inside." Amid the smiles of the two charming women, the burly man in brocade and others followed the scar-faced monk into the stone room uneasily.
A strange color flashed in Lu Ming's eyes, and he followed him in out of curiosity. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a huge fan-shaped screen in front of him.
This screen is pink in color, with a painting of a lady flying into the sky. Although the woman in the painting only shows her back, she is constantly changing and flying, with a faint red light shining through. It is actually a magical weapon of high quality.
There is a small semi-circular arch on both sides of the screen, and in front of the screen, a female monk in her thirties, dressed in light blue palace clothes, is standing there and laughing and talking to a male monk.
It is strange to say that this woman looks very ordinary in purple, but her movements are full of the charm of a mature woman, and her words and smiles exude a touching charm.
The male cultivator and he were both at the same level as middle-level martial arts masters, but he looked at him so hard that he kept drooling and leaned into the other man's chest to take a look inside.
However, when this woman saw Zhang Le and others coming in, her eyes suddenly lit up. After patting her palms lightly, a young mortal woman immediately walked out from behind the screen. In the reluctant eyes of the male cultivator, she took him with her.
