Starting from the recovery of Shanhaijing

Chapter 517 Zhongshan City

Followed by a group of monsters ascended the building one after another.

Ichthyosaurs dive deep into the river.

A thin film of water covers several attics on its back.

Isolate the turbulent undercurrent and water pressure at the bottom of the Tongtian River, and ensure that the passengers staying in the attic can move freely.

Yan Jing stood by the window sill, looking through the window at various water animals passing by outside.

Not far away, several lofts of different shapes stand.

Although it only took more than half a day for the fish and dragon to arrive at Zhongshan City, Tongtianhe Mansion still built an attic on the back of the fish and dragon for trading and entertainment to pass the time for the passengers.

The former is a place for monsters to exchange resources, while the latter is full of Aquarium girls and handsome men.

The gradually collapsing world does not seem to have much impact on these monsters, or it may mean that they know that the future is fixed, they simply accept their fate and wanton wandering, just to enjoy enough before falling into madness.

dong dong~
There was a knock on the door.

Sitting inside the room, Zhu Xia's expression tightened, and the cold air escaped from her fingertips. Seeing that Yan Jing turned around to indicate that nothing happened, she relaxed.

Lao Yuan pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Yan Jing who was still looking over his shoulder, he was stunned for half a second, and then said with emotion,

"I didn't expect you to have such a skill. No wonder you had to find a hidden location to reveal your identity. It's really easy to use."

In order to cover up his whereabouts, Lao Yuan did not show up with Yan Jing, but sneaked into the back of the fish dragon ahead of time.

He who used to be the Lord of Tongtian River ordered the fish dragon without any problem.

In the same way, Yan Jing easily occupied the entire floor of the attic by virtue of her status as an overlord. After arranging for a few mussel girls to bring them delicious food and wine, she directly asked them to give orders.

No one is allowed to come and disturb without his order.

After ensuring that no one would disturb or eavesdrop, the three of them began to discuss the next action.

"Before at the ferry, I heard a lot of monsters talking about what happened in the Earth Immortal Temple. Fortunately, they only thought that Baimu and the monsters attending the banquet were fighting for the Lingying Fruit, and they didn't speculate on the fate of the people."

It was Zhu Xia who first raised the topic, and relayed the news she heard at the ferry pavilion to Yan Jing.

"Well, this is not good news. In fact, I am planning to spread the news of the Man of Heaven's appearance to Zhongshan City!"

Rubbing the wine glass with her left hand, Yan Jing murmured.

These words made Lao Yuan and Zhu Xia unable to react for a while, and looked at Yan Jing in surprise.

Zhongshan City is a place where demons inhabit, not to mention the demon king, there are even demon kings entrenched underneath. If the news of the Mandate of Heaven spreads in, given the importance they attach to the prophecy, it will definitely cause a violent reaction.

Doesn't that make the next action more difficult?
"You want to do the opposite?"

After a brief silence, Lao Yuan thought of Yan Jing's current identity and hesitated.

"That's right, I only have five days. From last night to now, and including the time to go to Zhongshan City, there are only about three and a half days left. I must find the place where Zhulong sleeps as quickly as possible, and complete this world exchange." Give me the task!"

Yan Jing previously proposed a five-day time limit on the grounds that Tiandi helped cover up the breath, and this is also a loose statement.

According to the requirements of the torch, he had to return to the descending point to return, so one day had to be removed, and the real time for him to complete the task in Zhongshan City was less than three days.

Rather than searching without a clue, Yan Jing hopes to find a way to get straight to the point.

The information revealed by Mr. Fan before his death gave him a new choice.

"After I captured Fan **, I didn't kill it immediately, but got some news about Minshan City through interrogation."

After taking a sip of his drink, Yan Jing carefully talked about the situation at that time.

There is no doubt about the strength of Fan who can defeat the old turtle head-on and seize the position of the master of Tongtian River.

It's a pity that in the face of the sudden attack, Yan Jing burst out with all his strength, and it had no time to resist.

Originally thought that the opponent was just an old turtle who had not recovered from serious injuries, but he never thought that the situation would change so suddenly.

Because last night Lao Yuan specifically mentioned that Fan ** was a monster sent by Zhongshan City, which prevented Yan Jing from killing him.

The soul fire that ignited after the activation of Death Core E was poured into the body of Quan **, directly holding its life. Naturally, this kind of monster does not have any kind of loyalty, and it revealed the reason why it occupied Tongtianhe in order to survive. clean.

"Fan ** did take the order of Jiao Demon King, but it's not because you have an old relationship with Yuan Gang, but for other reasons."

Recalling what she said before she died, Yan Jing's expression became serious, and she continued,

"If Zhong Shancheng wants to retaliate against you, it will not deliberately delay for decades. The choice of this time point is obviously ulterior motives. According to the secretary, it was suddenly ordered to find new ones on the Tongtian River. Man of destiny!"

"Could it be that the devil king in Zhongshan City knows?"

Hearing the content of the task that Fan ** received, Zhu Xia frowned and asked.

"No, it's impossible. No matter how powerful they are, those demon kings can't predict that the Man of Destiny will appear in Tongtian River decades in advance, otherwise they wouldn't just send the overlords here to wait."

Lao Yuan immediately denied Zhu Xia's conjecture, and said,

"I think this kind of behavior is more like casting a wide net. After all, Zhulong is sleeping in Zhongshan. This is the information in the prophecy. The demons in Zhongshan City are more likely to be on every road to Zhongshan City. Demon kings are stationed along the route."

"That's right, it was a hundred years ago when Yuan Gang made a big fuss about Zhongshan City, but it was only a few decades ago that he came to Tongtian River. In Zhongshan City, it should be said that the demons must have searched for the candle dragon during that time." Time has made a breakthrough, and only then did I realize that there will be people with destiny appearing!"

Putting down the wine glass, Yan Jing said in a deep voice.

This is not his personal speculation, but the confirmed news from the interpreter.

At that time, there were other demon kings who also received orders like it.

As the old turtle said above, they were sent to various passes around Zhongshan City, waiting for the Man of Heaven to appear.

It was precisely because of this that Yan Jing decided to do the opposite.

"Since the demon kings in Zhongshan City are sure that the Man of Destiny will appear again, then this is our chance. Now I am using the identity of the overlord, and the centipede was killed by the Man of Destiny. Its body proves all of this. And Zhu Xia as a witness."

Going directly to Jiao Demon King to reveal the news of the Destiny Man's appearance will inevitably arouse suspicion.

At this time, the corpse of the centipede that Yan Jing asked Zhu Xia to collect in the Earth Immortal Temple was a perfect stepping stone.

"After arriving in Zhongshan City, I will take Zhu Xia to meet Jiao Demon King as a prisoner. If all goes well, I should be able to get a job. I will hang out in the core area of ​​Zhongshan City and try to obtain high-level information."

This is the fastest way Yan Jing can think of to obtain information about Zhulong.

"I can't appear in the open, but I can try to find some demons in Zhongshan City who understand the situation back then. They have lived in Zhongshan City until now, and maybe they will have some clues."

As an old man from the previous era, Lao Yuan knew quite a few monsters, so he paused and said with emotion,
"It's not just Yuan Gang who wants to change the world, there are also some monsters who are also unwilling to sink with the world, but I don't know how many are left now."

Determine the action plan after arriving in Zhongshan City.

Taking advantage of some free time, Yan Jing called out a few monsters who often travel between Zhongshan City and Peng'an by using her identity as a prostitute, and asked them about the recent situation in Zhongshan City, so as not to worry about the situation after arriving in Zhongshan City. At a loss.

time flies.

Ichthyosaurs shuttle through the depths of the Tongtian River.

The monsters carried on their backs can only judge the current time through the increasingly dim light outside the window.

Until the outside is plunged into darkness, lights are lit both inside and outside the attic.

The ichthyosaur finally made a dull sound, indicating that the passengers were about to arrive at Zhongshan City.

Yan Jing and his party quickly left the attic and came to Yutou's position, where they will land later.

Through the water film, the Tongtian River continued to sink.

The scene in front of me is also from pitch black to gradually flickering stars, and finally connected into one.

moo~
Accompanied by the muffled roar of the fish and dragon, the water waves churned up.

Standing at the forefront, the first thing that appeared in Yan Jing's field of vision was a huge and noisy port.

The moored inside are not ships, but all kinds of grotesque aquatic monsters.

What Yan Jing sees now is the same monster that came to Zhongshan City. The giant manatee with its two front paws resting on the edge of the port has many buildings on its back like a fish and dragon. The monsters are gathering in groups come out of it.

There are more tortoises that are smaller in size. They are more used to transport goods, carrying materials like hills, floating from the Tongtian River, and directly climbed to the river bank, where there are already monsters in charge of transporting them in advance. with.

Only small boats docked at the edge of the port, and some half-demons who were barely in shape and still retained a considerable number of waterfowl signs were tending fishing nets and preparing their gear, looking as if they were going to fish overnight.

"I haven't seen Zhongshan City for a long time. Has it turned into this?"

Zhu Xia's sentiments were heard in his ears, and Yan Jing's eyes turned from the nearby port to the distant city.

Zhongshan City.

As the name suggests, this is a city built on the hills.

Its scale is far beyond Yan Jing's imagination.

The mountains to which Zhongshan belonged stretched tens of thousands of miles, with cliffs and precipices everywhere, and the terrain was dangerous. Yan Jing originally thought that Zhongshan City should be a steep mountain city.

However, after hundreds of years of development, the monsters were guided by the extraterrestrial demons, in order to suppress the candle dragon and find a way to eliminate it, they gathered in a steady stream, coupled with the extraordinary abilities of the monsters.

He actually forcibly built a huge city among these high mountains.

Start with the port.

The structural layout of Zhongshan City is exceptionally clear, and it can be said to be orderly from top to bottom.

On the way here, Yan Jing learned about the city's layout from Fan's subordinates.

The area at the foot of the mountain is an outlying urban area with dense houses. Looking around, there are three or five-story wooden and stone buildings. This time period is when the lights are brightly lit. The roaring sound.

Half-demons, humans, and unformed monsters gather here. The urban area is the largest and most chaotic. Those in power in Zhongshan City don't bother to pay attention to these low-level creatures, and they only treat them like livestock on weekdays.

All in all, they are almost all doing all kinds of dirty work in Zhongshan City.

The location halfway up the mountain is the commercial and entertainment area of ​​Zhongshan City, and it is also the favorite place for the ghosts and ghosts of East Zhanzhou.

Compared with the chaotic urban area at the foot of the mountain, the buildings in this area are more in pursuit of gorgeous design, which is no different from the prosperous city of the human race. If you have to say it, it will be magnified several times, regardless of the size or scale of the city.

Although the overall size is only one-half of the city at the foot of the mountain, the lights are the most brilliant. Yan Jing can even see celebrations and parades on the streets on the mountainside with his profound sense, which is very lively.

"The world is overturned, these guys can see it, aren't they afraid of evil spirits, and some crazy monsters suddenly appear?"

Yan Jing, who maintained her overturned image, stepped on the road to the port, looked at the scene in the distance, and couldn't help but say.

"It is said that the three demon kings guarding Zhongshan City once prayed for grace from the extraterrestrial demons and designated this place as a safe area in East Zhanzhou. You can try to sense the surrounding environment. The concentration of evil energy is much lower than in Peng'an area."

The old man explained on the side.

"So, the extraterrestrial demons use this as a condition to drive the demons in Zhongshan City to use them?"

While walking towards the gate of Zhongshan City, sensing the sudden change in the environment, Yan Jing curled her lips and said with a sneer,
"For these monsters, being able to live for decades is actually their greatest grace. guy."

While speaking, Yan Jing couldn't help looking at the palace complex at the highest point of Zhongshan City.

The palace is located at the highest point of the entire Zhongshan Mountain, built next to the mountain and extremely magnificent.

That was the first place Yan Jing was going on this trip.

The palace where the three demon kings of the demon race recognized by the extraterrestrial demons lived!

"I entered Zhongshan City through the waterway. After you have seen the Demon King, you can go to the Songzhu Residence halfway up the mountain to find me."

Lao Yuan's identity was too sensitive, so he didn't plan to act together with Yan Jing and Zhu Xia, but planned to sneak into Zhongshan City alone, and first went to find his old friends to understand the situation.

After saying that, the old turtle turned around and returned to Yulong, and sank into the Tongtian River before disappearing.

"What to do in the future has already been clearly stated on the road, and I will not repeat it here. Whether we can obtain first-hand information depends on whether the operation can go smoothly."

Looking not far away, she was approaching this way, wearing armor, she should be a demon patrolling the team, Yan Jing said in a deep voice,
"This is a big gamble, and you have to be prepared to fight violently. I'm not sure whether the disguised traitor will be exposed in front of the demon kings."

Yan Jing trusts the [Thousand Faces] special effect of Huan Ling Ring, but this time he is facing the most top existence in Zhongshan City, and his identity may be exposed if he is not careful.

If the time was not really tight, Yan Jing would not have chosen such a radical method.

"I understand that if you are exposed, you don't need to worry about me, the most important thing is to survive!"

Since Zhu Xia chose to invite her with her, she had already put her own life and death aside.
