Hearing this, Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile, "Young man, you seem to be looking at the problem too simply. It is not a simple process to evolve from the third-level combat power to the fourth-level combat power.
It also took me several years to complete this step back then. Even if you obtain a spirit, you will never be able to complete this step within three to five months. I am afraid that by then, the entire Black Rock City will have been completely destroyed!"
"It takes so long..." Chen Fan suddenly became distressed.
Now that the dragon turtle essence has been obtained, it is almost certain that Chen Fan will evolve into level four combat power. However, how long it will take to completely refine this energy is still unknown. If it is like what Yang Jian said, it seems that
If you still can't evolve to that level in the short term, you will naturally lose the capital to fight Zhao Huang.
After a long silence, Chen Fan still insisted, "No matter what, I have to go back to Black Rock City. The conditions that President Mo Ran promised me are too important, and I will never give up."
No matter how fast or strong one person's combat power is, it cannot be compared with the overall strength. To help Yunxi City survive the crisis perfectly, it must cultivate more backbone combat power. This move, Chen
Everything must be done!
"Okay!" Seeing Chen Fan's insistence, Yang Jian did not continue to object, but nodded and said, "According to my estimation, it is probably three to five days' journey from here to Black Rock City. During this journey, I can
Let me help you extract the impurities from your essence first, and then we can talk about it after we go to Black Rock City."
After two days of adjustment, everyone decided to set off again. Qing Pheasant and Yao Yue had lost contact. With nowhere to go, she had to set off with Chen Fan, hoping to get back to Black Rock City first and then inquire about Yao Yue's whereabouts.
The journey was very long. In order to avoid being targeted by some mid-to-high-end alien beasts, the two of them suppressed their aura and rushed on their legs. Fortunately, they collected a sufficient amount of energy fruits in the secret realm. With these wild fruits, they could fill the gap.
When your stomach is full, you don’t have to worry about food.
In addition, these wild fruits are full of unique energy. Every time you eat a wild fruit, your abilities will subtly increase, so traveling does not seem too hard.
Yang Jian didn't seem to like staying outside, so he quickly returned to the depths of the space ring to refine the impurities in Chen Fan's essence. The original plan was to only take five days to walk through the woods, but Chen Fan did not.
After walking for more than a week, until the huge city appeared at the end of his sight, he stopped walking and found a place to sit down and rest not far from the official road.
Qing Pheasant asked him curiously why he didn't leave. Chen Fan looked at the passing caravans on the official road and frowned silently, "Something's wrong."
"What's wrong?" Qing Zhi blinked and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Chen Fan pointed to the official road, took a deep breath and said, "In the past, the number of people on the official road would not be so sparse. Moreover, the Chamber of Commerce, as the most active force in Black Rock City, would send a large number of caravans out of the city to purchase goods every day. This road
, I have walked through it before, and people from the Chamber of Commerce could be seen everywhere on the road, but today, I didn’t even see a carriage belonging to the caravan."
Everyone who joins the Chamber of Commerce will have a unique badge of the Chamber of Commerce on their chest, so it is easy to identify them. However, Chen Fan has been observing this official road for a long time, but he has never seen even a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
Qing Pheasant's eyes suddenly brightened a little, "Brother Chen Fan, do you mean that all the people in the Chamber of Commerce..."
"The current situation is unclear and it is not appropriate to define it for the time being. However, entering the city in broad daylight is too ostentatious, so we should wait until night to take action!"
Chen Fan was actually quite anxious. After all, in addition to the Chamber of Commerce, there were also Lin Xi, Wa Guo and others in Black Rock City. These were his friends, and they relied on the protection of the Chamber of Commerce to live in Black Rock City. If Zhao Huang really
The decision to take action will inevitably eradicate the power of the city's main army and the chamber of commerce first. At that time, what will Lin Xi and the others do?
Although he was nervous, Chen Fan still calmed down and found a place where he could not easily be noticed. He lurked until the sky gradually got dark, and then he took Qing Pheasant to the black city wall.
When he took a look outside the city wall, Chen Fan discovered that the defense here was much tighter than before, and the people guarding the city tower had changed. They were no longer led by the city lord's palace, but were replaced by another group.
A team wearing black armor.
"This old boy is so quick!"
Seeing this, Chen Fan has roughly guessed the cause and effect. He must have taken action on the city lord's mansion immediately after Zhao Huang left the secret realm. When Chen Fan and others were on their way back to Black Rock City, the city had probably changed hands.
.
"It's strange, isn't the old city lord also a fourth-level combat power, why was Zhao Huang so easy to succeed?"
Chen Fan was greatly puzzled and muttered silently for a while.
After listening, the vampire alien whispered, "Although the old city lord of Black Rock City also has a fourth-level combat power, he must be in poor health. Didn't you hear what Mo Ran said? He has another purpose for retrieving the elixir cauldron.
, also to help the old city lord treat his injuries."
"That's true. I don't know what kind of injuries this old man suffered, so he can live in such a mess!"
As soon as Chen Fan finished speaking, Yang Jian, who was hiding in the space ring, coughed very unnaturally, "He was injured because of me."
"ah?"
At this time, Chen Fan and the vampire alien both widened their eyes and felt a little incredible.
Yang Jian smiled awkwardly and explained, "Decades ago, when I first entered Black Rock City, I had a conflict with the forces here. At that time, the lord of Black Rock City personally sent troops to arrest me.
I had a fight with him outside the city, and as for the result... I don’t need to tell you."
"Is there such a thing?"
Chen Fan found it interesting and said helplessly, "Senior, that is to say, the old city lord's injuries were caused by you. Why?"
"This...well, actually, it was just for a woman!" Talking about the past, Yang Jian was a little embarrassed to talk about it. He was silent for a long time before saying, "Have you ever seen a woman named Huang Yue when you have been to the wilderness?"
"Are you talking about the lord of the wilderness, the old woman named Huang Yue?" Chen Fan widened his eyes and said in disbelief.
"She is not an old woman!" Yang Jian seemed dissatisfied with Chen Fan's description and suddenly snorted.
"But..." Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh, recalling that before entering the secret realm, he had an encounter with the lord of the wilderness. Didn't the other person have an aging face?
"It's also possible that she's disguised. She doesn't want to show her true face!" The vampire alien reminded lightly, "Nothing is unusual in the main universe. It's possible that the lord of the wilderness appeared in disguise.
Meet us."
Chen Fan suddenly understood and asked Yang Jian again, "Senior, why did you fight with the old city lord for Lord Huangyue?" (To be continued)
