Chapter 108: The City on Huangquan Road
This desolate land looks very desolate. However, in front of Zhang Yan, there is a small town on the desolate land. This small town seems to be incompatible with the surrounding environment. It is surrounded by darkness. Only this small town has a dim atmosphere. The light came, illuminating an area of several miles around. Although the light was relatively dim, it still looked very dazzling in the dark night, allowing Zhang Yan to see the small town at a glance from a distance.
Zhang Yan walked towards the small town in front of him on foot, but he was still very confused in his heart, "How can there be a town on this Huangquan Road? And this town can stand on the Huangquan Road without being attacked by the little devils. This really makes Zhang Yan a little bit. Surprise, and what surprised Zhang Yan the most was that this small town dared to light up lights on Huangquan Road when night fell. Doesn't this mean that it is declaring war on the devils in the entire Huangquan Road? It is common sense that lights can attract devils. Could it be that the people in the city No one knows?"
"Or do they know, but they just don't pay attention to the kid on Huangquan Road?"
Zhang Yan came to the small town with doubts in his head. When he got closer, Zhang Yan discovered that the entire city wall was made of soul-weary stone, which was nearly three feet high, and the city gate was also made of heavy iron gates. Inlaid with a large number of soul-weary stones, Zhang Yan nodded, "So, the soul-weary stones have an immune suppression effect on the soul power. They can cover up the soul aura of the warriors in the city, so that the little ghosts in the outside world cannot feel the warriors in the city. The aura, so that no kid can find this place."
"In addition, the soul-weary stone also has a certain suppression on the lonely ghosts on Huangquan Road. Those little ghosts also hate the soul-weary stone. Therefore, the city wall made of the soul-weary stone can prevent the harassment of these little ghosts. No wonder this place can Light a lamp in the dark.”
Zhang Yan came to the tall city gate. Two guards guarding the city gate noticed Zhang Yan and shouted loudly: "Who is it?"
Zhang Yan immediately returned and said: "I'm Zhang Yan. I was passing by here and found such a town here. I want to come in and take a look and have a rest. Is it okay?"
"If you can talk, it seems that you are really a warrior. Since you are a warrior, you can enter the city. However, if you want to enter the city, you must first pay a protection fee of one hundred high-grade spiritual stones. Otherwise, we will not let you in. You can Go back where you came from," a guard shouted loudly.
Zhang Yan was a little shocked when he heard this. He frowned and thought, "Why is there a protection fee to enter the city? And it actually costs one hundred high-grade spiritual stones. This is a very expensive price. You know, it doesn't cost to stay in an inn in Fengdu City for one night." A piece of high-grade spiritual stone, and here it suddenly costs a hundred yuan, which makes Zhang Yan just click his tongue."
Although Zhang Yan had so many spiritual stones on his body, Zhang Yan still felt a lot of pain when he took out so many at once. He reluctantly reached out and took out a hundred high-grade spiritual stones, threw them to the two guards and said: "This is one hundred high-grade spiritual stones."
The guard took the spirit stone and said with a smile: "Now that you have handed over the spirit stone, you are now a member of our city. From now on, you can enter and exit this rest area at will." As he spoke, he opened the huge city gate a crack, allowing Zhang Yan hurry in.
Zhang Yan immediately dodged and walked into the city gate. As soon as Zhang Yan stepped in, the city gate behind him was closed, as if he was afraid that others would follow Zhang Yan and sneak in. This made Zhang Yan feel very strange.
The two guards seemed to have noticed the doubts in Zhang Yan's heart, and explained with a smile: "The reason why we are so cautious is that we are afraid that some brats will take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in. In addition, it happens to be sunset, and the traffic on Huangquan Road is... As darkness falls, everything will become more dangerous, so we should be careful about sailing the boat for thousands of years, after all, nothing but troubles can be big things."
"This is a rest area and a gathering place for warriors. All warriors who are injured on the Huangquan Road or want to rest will come here to seek shelter," one of the guards said with a smile.
Another guard continued: "Of course, if you stay here, you don't have to worry about little ghosts coming to harass you, and everything is available here, as long as you have enough spirit stones."
"Thank you both for your explanation," Zhang Yan smiled and walked into the city.
Although this city does not look very big, Zhang Yan still feels that this city is quite big when he is in it. The reason why it does not look very big is probably because of the contrast with the barren land outside, which makes Zhang Yan feel... The city didn't look very luxurious, but there were still many warriors coming and going.
There were many warriors coming and going on the wide streets, but most of these warriors were about the same strength as martial artists. Zhang Yan did not meet any warriors who were too advanced. Zhang Yan found a place in the city called Leisure Inn. Seeing that there were many people eating inside, Zhang Yan also stepped inside.
Leisure Inn is only a medium-sized second floor. The lobby on the first floor has more than a dozen tables for warriors to eat. However, there are not many warriors inside at this time. There are only a few warriors in twos and threes eating. Zhang Yan saw that I didn't find it strange at all. After all, the number of warriors in the city was limited and could not be compared with the huge crowd in Fengdu City.
After Zhang Yan entered the store, no one came to greet him. Zhang Yan stood for a while and had to find an empty table to sit down. When he saw that no one came, he couldn't help shouting: "Is there anyone there? I want to order!"
Not long after, a person walked out of the back room of the kitchen. This person was the waiter in the store. He shouted indifferently: "What are you shouting for? It's coming." As he spoke, he came to Zhang. In front of Yan's table.
The waiter asked weakly: "What do you want to eat?"
Zhang Yan didn't expect the waiter's attitude to be so bad, so he couldn't help but frown. However, Zhang Yan didn't bother to argue with him, so he could only ask: "What signature dishes do you have here? Give me two of them, and I can just take a bite." .”
The waiter said listlessly: "We only have one signature dish here, and that is steamed ice fish. Do you want one?"
"Ice Spirit Fish?" Zhang Yan asked with some surprise when he heard this: "Do you also have Ice Spirit Fish here?" Ever since Zhang Yan ate Ice Spirit Fish at the City Lord's Mansion last time, he has never forgotten this dish, but unfortunately only the City Lord's Mansion has it. Some of them were eaten, so Zhang Yan could only think about it.
Hearing this, the waiter looked at Zhang Yan with disdain and asked, "Is this your first time on Huangquan Road and your first time in the city where warriors gather?"
Zhang Yan nodded when he heard this, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
The waiter shook his head when he heard this, "It's nothing wrong. I just heard what you said and knew that you were a rookie who just came to Huangquan Road. It's just that the night fell on Huangquan Road as soon as you came in. I have to say that your luck is very bad. , I just didn’t expect you to be able to find it here.”
