Zhang Chi was only responsible for the safety of the caravan along the way, and had no knowledge of the specific commodities being transported. After all, Crystal City was not his goal. It could only be regarded as a stopover on the way. He had not even thought about entering the city.
The foreign caravan parted ways and headed north straight to the Lengshan Plateau.
However, the plan did not change. The caravan was attacked, and Huang Feixue suddenly absorbed black blood and left without saying goodbye. This series of events forced Zhang Chi to choose to enter the city. Even if he could not solve the truth about the attack on the caravan, he still had to find Huang Feixue.
On the way to Crystal City, they saw a damaged carriage on the roadside and scattered cylinders. These cylinders should be filled with melanin. All the cylinders found had been opened, and the melanin in them had been removed.
As people absorb it all, things become weirder and weirder.
Cao Chengguang actually picked up a complete and unopened steel bottle. He turned it over in his hand and looked at it. There was a black seal on the mouth of the bottle.
Zhang Chi reminded him: "Be careful, this thing might explode at any time." When Huang Feixue approached the cylinders, the seals of the cylinders popped open one by one because they could not withstand the internal pressure. Zhang Chi thought it should be the cylinders.
After leaving the icy low-temperature environment, the internal temperature increases, which is why the phenomenon occurs.
Cao Chengguang said: "No, this thing should be some kind of special seal. It usually won't explode. As for popping the bottle cork, it's even more nonsense."
Huang Qitai said: "But just now we clearly saw that the stopper of the cylinder was pushed open."
Cao Chengguang picked up the cylinder and shook it vigorously in his hand, then hit it hard on the ice nearby, which shocked Huang Qitai. The guy subconsciously covered his ears. Cao Chengguang laughed and said: "You think I'm here?"
Shoot off a cannon?”
Zhang Chi knew Cao Chengguang's intention. The cylinder was still intact after such a violent impact, and the cork did not eject.
Cao Chengguang said: "You see, the cylinder is not easy to open. Let's not get close to this thing. Even if we hit it hard, we can't break it open. Huang Feixue should have special abilities."
This can be confirmed, Huang Feixue was able to absorb melanin. After she inhaled a large amount of melanin, her spiritual power increased significantly, and she even abducted the three-headed eagle in front of Zong Jiupeng.
Zhang Chi believes that Huang Feixue's absorption of melanin is not due to her active will, or because her potential has been aroused, or someone has secretly lifted the seal. Huang Feixue is of mixed blood, and the blood of the Baiyu tribe does not have the ability to absorb melanin.
So the ability in this area should be attributed to the blood of the Black Yuezhi.
Not everyone even in the Black Yuezhi has such an ability. All Zhang Chi can think of is Dubeifeng, and he only hopes that Huang Feixue will never have anything to do with this monster.
When they arrived outside the Crystal City, the wind and snow gradually subsided. Immortal Zhang could hardly believe his eyes. A city made of pink carvings and jade appeared in front of him. He thought that even if the Crystal City was rebuilt, it would be impossible to restore it to its original appearance, but the city in front of him
The grandeur and scale even surpassed that of Storm City, and it was completely different from the ruins of the last time he came here.
Zhang Chi quickly figured out the reason. Ice and snow were used to rebuild Crystal City. Compared with conventional earth, stone and wood, ice and snow were used to build the city much faster, so the city was able to be rebuilt in just ten years.
.
Zhang Chi couldn't help but think of what happened when he encountered an ice wall while rescuing the Chongmu clan in Storm City. It seems that it has become a tradition for the Black Yue clan to like to use ice to build cities.
Huang Qitai has not been to Crystal City for many years. The last time he came here, it was still in ruins. Seeing the majestic city in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh: "This Crystal City is even more spectacular than in the past."
Cao Chengguang said disdainfully: "The silver-like pewter spearhead is just shiny on the surface. Once the climate gets warmer and the ice and snow melt, a city like this will disappear immediately."
Huang Qitai said with a smile: "Mr. Cao is serious. It's freezing in the northern wilderness, and the ice and snow don't melt all year round. That kind of situation won't happen."
Cao Chengguang said: "This city wall can't protect people. As long as we attack it with fire, we can dissolve a big hole." He saw with his own eyes how Zhang Chi broke through the ice wall, so he said this.
Huang Qitai said: "The city wall is so thick. Even if it is heated by fire, how much wood will be needed to melt a hole?"
Cao Chengguang glanced at Zhang Chi and said with a smile, "You're an ignorant guy."
Zhang Chi was worried that Cao Chengguang would tell his story, so he reminded the two of them: "Let's try to keep a low profile when entering the city this time, and don't cause trouble."
Cao Chengguang curled his lips and said, "When was it not you who caused trouble?"
Zhang Chi asked Ling Ling to wait outside the city, and the three of them walked into the city. At the city gate, they saw Zong Jiupeng who had already arrived before them.
From Zong Jiupeng's disappointed expression, he knew that he had not found Huang Feixue. Zhang Chi shook his head to Zong Jiupeng to indicate that he had not found it either. Zong Jiupeng said: "Let's talk in the city."
The three of them followed Zong Jiupeng to the city. The buildings in the city were all made of ice and snow. Cao Chengguang looked around, feeling like he was looking at ice lanterns. He said to Zhang Chi: "I think this place shouldn't be called Crystal City. It should be changed."
The name is Ice and Snow City.”
Huang Qitai said: "There is a North Ice City on the Lengshan Plateau."
Zong Jiupeng has been here many times. He took them to an inn called Caixuelou in a familiar way. After arranging for them to stay, Zong Jiupeng came to Zhang Chi's room.
The door of the inn is also molded from melted snow. Although it is heavy, it is easy to open and close due to its light design.
After Zong Jiupeng entered the room, he closed the door and Zhang Chi recounted what they saw along the way. Zong Jiupeng frowned and said, "As far as I know, the only person who can absorb melanin is Du Beifeng."
Zhang Chi looked at Zong Jiupeng: "You mean..." He did not clarify what he meant. Huang Feixue also has the ability to absorb melanin. Could it be that she is Du Beifeng's daughter?
Zong Jiupeng said: "I never knew who her father was, but now I know that it was that beast from Dubeifeng who defiled my daughter." He made a fist with his right hand and hit the palm of his left hand hard. At present, he could only use this
A way to vent your inner anger and dissatisfaction.
Zhang Chi said: "Mr. Zong, how can you identify Feixue as Du Beifeng's daughter?"
Zong Jiupeng said: "Of course I can confirm that the person who entrusted me to catch Feixue is Du Beifeng's wife Li Shuangtong."
Zhang Chi was startled when he heard this and said in astonishment: "Li Shuangtong is in Crystal City?"
Zong Jiupeng nodded and said: "She is blind and has been living in Crystal City."
Zhang Chi secretly thought that Li Shuangtong's blindness was due to him. When they fought in the dark night forest, Li Shuangtong had a powerful ability to control electricity. He used the Samadhi True Fire to burn her eyes. It seems that since then,
After that she never replied.
Zong Jiupeng said: "The relationship between the couple is not very good. Now I understand that Du Beifeng has known about Feixue's existence for a long time, and Li Shuangtong also knows that she is extremely jealous and asked me to catch Feixue." The purpose is to kill Feixue to vent his anger."
Zhang Chi said: "When you say that, I don't understand. Feixue absorbed some melanin, but what about other melanin? We saw a lot of empty bottles along the way, and they were obviously absorbed by others. This People should be the real culprits who massacred the caravan."
Zong Jiupeng said: "You have already thought of it. If I guess correctly, this person should be Du Beifeng."
Zhang Chi said in confusion: "As the admiral of Storm City, Du Beifeng holds a high position of authority. Why did he sneak over in this way when he came to Crystal City?"
Zong Jiupeng said: "I don't know much about this, but absorbing black blood to enhance one's own abilities is a sorcery. Water can carry and capsize a boat. Black blood is beneficial to his practice, but it will also damage his body." Physically, Li Shuangtong's ability is no less than that of Du Beifeng. I heard that Du Beifeng's achievements today are all due to her help."
Zhang Chi said: "Is it because of Feixue that the couple turned against each other?"
Zong Jiupeng said: "I don't know this, but Li Shuangtong should know the answer."
Zhang Chi said: "Are you going to see her?"
Zong Jiupeng nodded and said: "But I can't do it alone. If Du Beifeng is also in Crystal City, I won't be able to deal with the couple by myself, so I need a helper." Looking at Zhang Chi, it was obvious what he said This helper is relaxation.
Zhang Chi did not hesitate: "Okay, I'll go with you."
There is a temple in the northeast of Crystal City. The temple is built on the ruins of the former Crystal City. Three-foot-wide steep stone steps zigzag along the ruins to reach the temple.
Zong Jiupeng and Zhang Chi climbed up the steps together. The night was cold and windy, and the snow was blinding.
Zong Jiupeng warned Zhang Chi: "You don't have to speak, just pretend to be mute the whole time."
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zong." He couldn't completely trust Zong Jiupeng, so he told Cao Chengguang their action plan in advance. This ruins was one of the few places in the Crystal City where you could use earth escape techniques. Mantis The cicada-catching oriole was behind, and Cao Chengguang also agreed to help cover and guard against changes in Zong Jiupeng.
When we reach the top of the ruins, we can still see the arrow stacks of the city wall on both sides. Not far ahead, there is a temple built of stone. Although it is not big, it is actually made of earth and stone buildings, which can be seen everywhere in Crystal City. Compared with ice sculpture buildings, this kind of building is valuable and shows the extraordinary identity of the owner.
In front of the temple, there were two girls in gray robes clearing the snow. It was freezing cold, but they were wearing thin clothes and their feet were naked on the ground. However, they should have adapted to the cold long ago. It's white and tender, not affected by the low temperature at all.
Zhang Chi looked at it and sighed in his heart. He should be able to do it because he has the body protection of Samadhi True Fire. If it were someone else, his feet would turn black and blue from the cold.
When the two girls saw Zong Jiupeng, they stopped what they were doing at the same time. One of them smiled and said: "Mr. Zong is back. The Master asked us to clean the front of the door to welcome the guests." The Master they mentioned was the Master. Li Shuangtong.
Zhang Chi secretly laughed in his heart, Li Shuangtong was also good at pretending to be a ghost, and he actually dared to call himself a master. It seemed that she had not learned her lesson by burning her eyes out.
Zong Jiupeng asked: "Where is the Master?"
The two of them pointed to the back, Zong Jiupeng stepped forward, and Zhang Chi followed him. Unexpectedly, two girls came and stopped him. Zhang Daxian remembered Zong Jiupeng's instructions just now, opened his mouth, and shouted "Aba" , he had seen the mute behave in the past, so he imitated it perfectly.
Zong Jiupeng said: "He came with me."
The two girls said: "The Master has told me that no one is allowed to enter unless she gives her permission."
Zong Jiupeng said: "I am a friend of the Master, and this mute is my new disciple. I can't show it to her even if I want to show it to her?"
The two girls shook their heads at the same time. They were very insistent on the issue of principle and would not give in an inch.
Zong Jiupeng had no choice but to say to Zhang Chi: "Wait for me here and don't go anywhere. Do you understand?"
Zhang Chi nodded.
One of the girls asked: "Can he hear me?"
Zong Jiupeng was secretly ashamed that he had forgotten to add some hand movements and almost exposed himself. He smiled and said: "Not all mutes are deaf and dumb. Some mutes can hear what others say." He pointed again. Refers to the relaxed feet.
Zhang Chi nodded and watched Zong Jiupeng walk to the back room.
After Zong Jiupeng left, the two girls stopped cleaning and started looking around Zhang Chi. Immortal Zhang grinned stupidly and let the two of them look at him, even if he was short and fat now. How come you are so handsome and attract so much attention from beautiful women? His temperament is probably his temperament.
The shorter girl said, "What's your name?"
Immortal Zhang stretched out his fingers and wrote a few words on the snow that they had not yet swept away.
The two girls chanted at the same time: "Darling!"
Immortal Zhang nodded happily.
The two girls said together: "So your name is Darling, Darling, can't you speak?"
Zhang Chi secretly sighed, English is also very important. If you don't understand English, you will be taken advantage of by others without even knowing it. It seems that there is no shortage of Chaihuo girls with small breasts and brains in Netherworld Ruins. After looking at them, they are not big, and they are not as good as Huang Feixue. Again. Seeing that Zong Jiupeng had already entered the back room, I wondered what news he could get from Li Shuangtong.
The door was open, and Zong Jiupeng strode into it and said loudly: "Is the Master here?"
A soft voice came from behind the bead curtain made of blue crystal stones: "Mr. Zong is here, has the person I wanted been brought back to me?"
Zong Jiupeng said: "Master, can you answer my question first?"
Li Shuangtong said: "When did Mr. Zong become so curious? I remember that someone took the initiative to return a favor to me, but I didn't force you to go."
Zong Jiupeng said: "The Moon Worshiping Caravan was ambushed midway, and most of the caravan was killed or injured."
Li Shuangtong said in surprise: "What? Do you mean that the slave girl is dead?"
Zong Jiupeng asked again: "Does the Master know what the caravan is escorting this time?"
"Does this have anything to do with what I asked you to do?"
"I didn't know if it was related, so I came to ask the Master."
Li Shuangtong said: "Then I want to hear what exactly they are escorting?"
