"With the sound of rapid footsteps, a group of thugs with sticks and chains arrived!"
"Where are the people?" one person asked.
"Jumped down!" Someone pointed at the window.
"Walk!"
The group of thugs went downstairs, carried the body away, and dispersed on their own to watch the excitement.
"Jin Niang, it's not peaceful here!"
Jin Niang frowned slightly and said, "Let's go, Jin Niang is in no mood to continue sitting down!"
"good!"
Zhao Feng accompanied Li Huan to leave, and the two of them walked on the street. They always felt that it seemed peaceful here, but in fact there was a crisis lurking.
"Jin Niang, why don't we go meet that person last night!"
"The person who met the old village chief?"
"Yes! He should know what we want to know!"
"good!"
The two people left the town and walked towards the mountain where they first came here.
Before the two of them reached Menghu Mountain, they met the man they saw last night. At this moment, the man was dressed as a farmer.
"How did you know he would be here?"
Zhao Feng pointed at the grass beside the road, and the three-headed snake with the cock's crest flew back into Zhao Feng's sleeve with a swishing sound.
"When did you release this little snake? Why didn't Jin Niang know?"
"Don't underestimate this little guy. He moves so elusively that I can't even detect it unless I pay special attention!"
Zhao Feng and Li Huan were walking in the middle of the road, blocking the way for incoming people.
"You two, why are you blocking my way?" asked the farmer opposite.
"Didn't you plan to kill us after your discussion yesterday? How come you don't recognize us now?" Zhao Feng said straight to the point.
"We met yesterday, but I have no intention of harming you, let alone killing you?" The farmer was puzzled.
"Stop pretending to be stupid. We all heard about your meeting with the old village chief last night!"
The farmer laughed dumbly, took off his disguise, and revealed his true face. It turned out that this person was actually a woman.
"You two, please come with me!"
Zhao Feng and Li Huan, not knowing what they meant, followed the strange woman all the way to Tiger Mountain, and finally came to the cave where they first appeared.
"Go through here and you can reach our world!"
Zhao Feng and Li Huan did not expect that there were secrets in the cave that they were not aware of.
Deep in the cave, in an inconspicuous place, there is a mechanism. The woman triggers the mechanism, and a large stone slowly falls, revealing a large hole.
"You two, please come with me!"
The woman walked into the big hole, followed by two people. The big hole slowly closed, and Black walked about two or three feet away. The three of them walked out from the other side of the big hole.
"This is the last paradise for us Xia people. Now the outside is already the world of the Tang Dynasty!"
Zhao Feng and Li Huan stood at the entrance of the cave, looking down the mountain. There were wooden houses hidden among the trees, with smoke curling from the kitchens. The mountain streams were jumping and making cheerful sounds, and they fell into the lake at the foot of the mountain. The lake water flowed slowly.
, to irrigate that field.
The wild flowers in the mountains are in full bloom, the birds are chirping, and the wild bees are busy gathering honey. The environment here is quiet, and it is rare to find tranquility and comfort. The farmers and field work are leisurely and contented, and the fishermen are boating in the lake. All of this is intoxicating.
"You two, what do you think of this place?"
Zhao Feng nodded, and Li Huan said: "This place is truly a paradise!"
The woman continued: "Hundreds of years ago, an elder of our tribe left here and went to Meihua'ao in order to stop fighting. Since the foreigners there settled here, conflicts often broke out, and they often went to war for a little benefit!"
"It's a pity that the elder's kindness was not well rewarded. His successor was the old village chief. The old village chief came up with an idea to use the beasts raised by our tribe as tiger monsters to deter these foreign tribes. The tribute paid by the foreign tribes actually ended up being
They are all used to help those foreigners settle here again!"
"As for the part I left behind, I will use it to raise those orphans! Not everyone in my tribe agrees with helping foreigners. The tribesmen living here live a life without caring about worldly affairs. They have long been accustomed to watching the sunrise like this.
I live my life as the sun goes down and don’t want to break my peaceful life.”
"Currently, only the old village chief and I are doing this. Now that my battle beast is dead, only the old village chief is left to support it!"
Zhao Feng's face heated up when he heard the woman's last words: "I'm sorry, your tiger was killed by me, so be it, I'll give you a little guy!"
Saying that, Zhao Feng summoned a golden horned dragon lizard. This golden horned dragon lizard was still young, only about two feet long. After this guy appeared, it kept protruding its red tongue and circling around the woman.
"This is the Golden Horned Dragon Lizard, you really gave it to me!"
"Of course, if I kill your tiger, I will pay him back to you!"
Zhao Feng knew that his previous suspicion was wrong, but he didn't expect that he almost wronged a good person.
"By the way, where is Pingchang they are talking about?" Li Huan thought of a question and asked the woman.
"Pingchang is another ethnic group that has lived here since ancient times. They believe in ancient evil gods, which is very different from our life philosophy. It is the people there who instigate foreigners to fight in order to benefit from it."
Zhao Feng, Li Huan and the woman inquired about this world and learned that it was possible to leave only through an ancient ruins in Pingchang.
In addition, Pingchang's sphere of influence has expanded rapidly in recent years, and this paradise will be discovered sooner or later.
"Now that you already know the situation here, are you going to leave or stay?"
Facing the woman's question, Zhao Feng replied: "Of course I am leaving. My family and friends are all outside, and they need me!"
"Okay, you two, have a good trip! Please keep this map, so as not to get sidetracked!"
Zhao Feng thanked the woman and left with Li Huan. Shortly after the two left, the old village chief appeared quietly.
"You didn't plan to go outside and have a look, why didn't you leave with them?"
"Old village chief, I have made up my mind and decided to stay here. This is my home. The outside world is my parents' hometown, but it is not mine!"
It turns out that this woman is also the child of a foreigner, but she was adopted by people from Taoyuan.
"That's fine! In the future, we will have to rely on you to protect this place. The stubborn old people in the clan are unwilling to face the reality. Nowadays, Pingchang is becoming more and more powerful. They are unwilling to intervene in the dispute. Sooner or later, they will have to face that disaster.
!”
The old village chief looked lonely, and the woman didn't know how to comfort the old man.
Zhao Feng and Li Huan left the cave and headed east according to the map. The large and small villages scattered in Meihua Au were actually the same group of foreigners who came here.
Every time foreigners come here, there are many and few. Some people try their best to return to their original world, but most people stay here and live for generations.
According to the woman's introduction, Zhao Feng and Li Huan learned that Meihua'ao Generation is just a small space with limited resources, so there are always people who want to monopolize it, so frequent fights occur from time to time.
This situation has only improved since the intervention of the Xia Dynasty survivors in Arcadia. However, in recent years, the number of Pyeongchang generations has increased, and the pace of expansion has accelerated.
Zhao Feng and Li Huan had already encountered seven or eight armed fights between small villages before they reached Pingchang.
The reasons for fighting are very simple. Some are for the ownership of forests where medicinal materials can grow, while others are to compete for water sources.
The further away from the center of Meihua'ao town, the greater the possibility of conflict.
"Zhao Feng, can't these people live in harmony?"
"With selfishness, greed, and desire for power, these people have already lost their minds! Let's go, we can't control that much, and we must leave as soon as possible to avoid being assimilated by the atmosphere here!"
Zhao Feng and Li Huan learned unexpected news from the woman, that is, no one can stay here for more than seven days. After seven days, they will never be able to leave. Instead, only the descendants of outsiders can leave.
Zhao Feng and Li Huan didn't want to be trapped here, so they tried to speed up along the way. The next morning, they arrived outside Pingchang City.
Pingchang City relies on a large-scale ancient ruins and occupies a piece of plain. The people living here are in a state of military uniformity. The rulers here rely on strict laws to control this area.
"We'd better not enter the city and go directly to the ruins!" Li Huan didn't want to enter the city and suggested a detour.
"That's fine, this city gives me a very bad feeling!"
Zhao Feng could feel an evil aura in the city. They didn't know that this ancient ruins was actually built to seal an ancient evil.
The ruler of the city knew nothing about this and had inadvertently touched the seal. It was only a matter of time before the evil spirit broke the seal.
Zhao Feng and Li Huan were running very fast. As they were running, Li Huan suddenly tripped over something. She lost her balance. Fortunately, Zhao Feng reacted quickly and hugged her around the waist, so she did not fall.
"There is nothing here, what tripped Jin Niang?" Li Huan looked at her feet, but there was nothing special.
Zhao Feng bent down, reached out and touched the ground, and sure enough he came across something invisible.
As soon as Zhao Feng's hand touched the invisible object, Xuanling Tianpu emitted a beam of light and immediately broke the invisibility.
"What is this?" Li Huan had never seen such an inverted triangular object before, and the dense talismans on it were completely different from what she knew.
Zhao Feng reached out and touched the runes on the inverted triangular object. His expression suddenly changed. After standing up, he pointed to the northwest.
"Jin Niang, is there smoke over there?"
"Yes, it seems there is a volcano far away!" Li Huan replied.
"Oops, let's leave quickly. If we don't leave, we'll have no chance!"
"Zhao Feng, what happened?" Li Huan saw Zhao Feng's anxious look and asked.
"Hurry up, let's talk on the way!" Zhao Feng pulled Li Huan, opened the Holy Eyes, and ran with all his strength. Along the way, the sound of wind whistling in the ears of the two of them became louder and louder.
"Jin Niang, there is an ancient evil demon sealed here. There is smoke appearing in the northwest, which means that the seal can no longer exist, and the evil demon is about to break free from the shackles of the seal!"
Zhao Feng and Li Huan had not yet approached the ruins. In the northwest, where the smoke appeared, there were loud noises, and then a pillar of fire shot into the sky, and the volcano erupted.
