Feng Li said angrily, "I didn't believe this was true at first. I planned to enter Black Rock City personally to investigate the situation. I didn't expect that the Zhao family would move so quickly and actually plan to ambush us!"
Chen Fan had already roughly understood what was going on. After hearing this, he nodded and said, "The traitor Yanluo is dead. Now everyone is living in the forbidden area. You can follow me there first. After we go to the forbidden area, we can discuss the next step."
Intend."
"Okay, thank you very much!" Feng Li was now covered in injuries. Besides, there was nothing he could do if he stayed here, so he nodded and decided to leave with Chen Fan.
The three of them immediately set off on the road. It took them several hours to avoid the eyes and ears of Black Rock City and return to the forbidden area. Because Lin Xi was seriously injured, they had to stop and rest several times on the road, so they walked very slowly.
By the time the three of them entered the forbidden area, it was already dark.
The old city lord was finally able to meet Feng Li. The father and son were silently sentimental and went to a room to detail what happened after their separation. Chen Fan walked into his small room, grabbed the essence he had obtained from the secret realm, and placed it in the room.
He looked at it silently in his hands.
It stands to reason that he has already refined his soul to reach the next level, but such a huge amount of energy cannot be refined overnight, and to refine the energy, he must find an absolutely pure place. Under the current conditions,
, obviously it cannot be done.
The vampire stranger said, "Why do you have to take care of Black Rock City's affairs? We have helped enough, otherwise, you don't have to take care of it anymore?"
Chen Fan shook his head and said, "I am involved in this dispute whether I like it or not, and after helping them settle things here, it will be of great benefit to Yunxi City. You know, Black Rock City also has
There are so many powerful people with powerful abilities, if we can get their help, Yunxi City will be more stable."
"But if we want to form an alliance with Black Rock City, the primary threat is the Zhao family. If we can't eradicate this scourge and regain control of the city for the old city lord, everything will be just a fantasy."
The vampire alien sighed, "It's a pity that I can't condense the entity yet. After I absorb all the energy in the earth's core magic crystal, I should be able to evolve to the fourth level of combat power. By then, there will be no way to defend Yunxi City.
It’s too big a problem.”
Chen Fan smiled and said, "By that time, Yunxi City will have at least three fourth-level combat forces. It is estimated that the entire Blue Star World may not be able to produce such a lineup."
The vampire alien also smiled, "To be honest, I'm starting to admire you a little now."
After hearing this, Chen Fan was stunned for a moment and asked why?
The vampire alien changed his tone in a very serious tone, "Without your efforts, how could Yunxi City develop from an unknown small city to the scale it is now? Although you did it just to help yourself at the beginning, it didn't matter at all.
There is no doubt that your contribution to that city has been greater than anyone else's, so it's no wonder they all regard you as a hero."
Chen Fan shook his head and sighed with a look of sadness on his face, "I never thought that I would become a hero. Being a hero will always be very tiring! In my heart, I just want to protect my family and live in peace.
This life."
A few peaceful days passed. During this period, Chen Fan occasionally accompanied the old city lord into the underground cave to see the hatching of the stone eggs. However, every time he went there, it was the same as before. The stone eggs seemed to have no bottom.
Like a black hole, other than slowly absorbing dragon energy, no fluctuations can be detected. After being absorbed by this thing, the remaining dragon energy in the forbidden area has become very thin.
Chen Fan stood in front of the stone egg, looking at the large number of cracks on it, and sighed helplessly, "Isn't it still possible?"
The old city lord walked up to him, put his hand on Chen Fan's shoulder and patted it, "It doesn't matter. Give it a little more time and just pretend that nothing happened. If you think about it this way, you won't feel disappointed."
Chen Fan touched his nose and smiled bitterly, "That's all it can do!"
At this time, there were some messy footsteps in the passage outside the cave. Chen Fan and the old city lord were stunned one after another, and hurriedly walked towards the exit.
This is the core of the forbidden area. Without the approval of the old city lord, others must not break in without permission. The footsteps outside indicate that a very urgent situation must have occurred.
Sure enough, as soon as the two of them walked out of the cave, they saw Heishan and Elder Lingluo, who looked anxious, pacing back and forth outside the cave.
"What's wrong?" The old city lord went straight to the point and asked Heishan who was guarding outside the cave.
Heishan shook his big face like a discus and said in great panic, "Old City Lord, something is not good. I just sensed the fluctuation of the barrier outside the cave. I quickly accompanied Elder Lingluo to take a look outside and found that there was a few meters away from here.
There are several corpses lying in a barrier outside, and the barrier there has also been destroyed!"
"What?"
The old city lord's eyes darkened, his face suddenly darkened, and he said in a solemn voice, "So, it's very possible that the Zhao family discovered this place?"
"I'm afraid so!"
Heishan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Although this place is hidden, it is too close to Black Rock City. Hei can hide it for a while under the lamp, but it is impossible to hide it for a lifetime, not to mention... there are so many traitors in the city lord's palace.
, with these traitors leading the way, they will be found faster."
The old city lord pondered for a moment, then hurriedly raised his head and said, "Let's go, follow me to the outside of the forbidden area first!"
In addition to the forbidden area, everyone indeed found several dead bodies in a small valley. The nearby barrier had been artificially destroyed. There were potholes everywhere caused by the aftermath of the battle. The ground was scorched black, as if it had been turned over.
of.
The old city lord checked the traces, his face became more solemn, and he hurriedly said to Chen Fan, "It seems that the leading troops of the Zhao family have already arrived here, but they were intercepted by the barrier and returned in vain.
But they should return to Black Rock City soon to report the news, and that old guy Zhao Huang might come in person!"
Chen Fan pondered, "Can these barriers stop Zhao Huang?"
"I'm afraid not." The old city lord shook his head with great bitterness and sighed deeply, "Zhao Huang's combat power is no higher than mine. The barrier here can only provide some resistance at best."
Chen Fan changed his expression and said, "If this is really the case, things will be terrible."
Nowadays, there are very few members in the entire forbidden area who can actually join the battle. The old city lord has long been seriously injured and cannot fight with others. As for Yang Jian, who has the highest combat power, he is still in seclusion, and he doesn't know how long it will take to come out.
And without the two highest combat powers, the old city lord and Yang Jian, these people were unable to resist Zhao Huang at all.
"What should we do? Let's fight him, shall we?" Heishan patted his chest very excitedly and gritted his teeth viciously, "That old immortal from the Zhao family, even if I, Heishan, die, I will eat a piece of his flesh!
"
"Stop talking nonsense!" The old city lord glared at him and scolded, "For the current plan, we can only retreat to the Spiritual Beast Mountain Range first!" (To be continued)
