"It's really incredible..." Su Heng exhaled a deep breath with a solemn expression.

He thought he had overestimated these monsters, but he didn't expect them to be more terrifying and difficult to deal with than he imagined.

"Those stupid, brainless monsters have been killed or imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower, and the rest are naturally the smarter ones." Su Li explained.

"Show me this booklet. I heard people from the Sky Demon Alliance mentioned it before." Su Li said.

Su Heng reached out and handed the pamphlet to her, "There are some maps and some inscriptions in it, but the content drawn on it is very abstract and I can't understand it."

In Baihua County, he was an unfamiliar place. If he relied solely on himself, even with these clues, he probably wouldn't be able to find the so-called treasure. The strength of Xu Ziyi and Xu Baixia is only average, and their family's power is probably not outstanding either.

To be honest, Su Heng didn't pay much attention to the contents in the booklet.

"Interesting." Under the bright moonlight, Su Li looked over her eyes, and a smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"This smile..."

Inexplicably, it reminded Su Heng of the expressions on the top students' faces when they encountered difficulties in high school.

"Is there anything weird about these maps?" Su Heng came over and asked curiously.

"If you just look for this map based on the features depicted on it, you will definitely not be able to find it." Su Li pointed at the simple ink painting on the booklet with her slender and shiny fingers and said, "Because this is a light and shadow map. , the features painted in the book are different from the appearance of the mountains and rivers on the ground, and you have to go to a specific location to find them.”

"It's so complicated." Su Heng was also a little surprised, "The ancestors also took great pains to leave something for their heirs."

"Then how do we find this special location?" Xiaoqing also stood on tiptoes and came closer.

"Wool comes from the sheep, and the answer is in this book." Su Li opened the book to two pages and found an inscription at the back -

"The cold spring water on the bridge is a three-foot hole on the stone of the jade girl; the sails on the sea cliff are shuttled back and forth, and the true shape is the wonderful weaving autumn moth."

"What does this inscription mean?" Su Heng felt a little dizzy.

"Well... the original meaning of the poem is not important. What is important is the specific location recorded in it." Su Li tilted her head, with a serious and thoughtful expression on her face, "After deciphering this line of poetry, we should be able to find the ancestors of the Xu family. The secret treasure left behind.”

"I have an impression, but I'm not sure. I have to find someone to ask again." Su Li said with a smile, "How about, leave this matter to me, I won't miss anything for you."

"Okay." Su Heng nodded.

He didn't really care about secret treasures or anything like that. Since Su Li was willing, let her go.

And looking at Su Li's expression, Su Heng always felt that she was more interested in the process of finding the treasure than the treasure itself.

The book was placed on Su Li's side, and the three of them set out again after repairing it a little.

One day and one night passed.

When the sun rose on the third day, standing on a raised hill, Su Heng could roughly see the outline of Baihua County.

Jiangzhou Baihua County was built on a fertile river valley plain. The outer city was built with huge rocks, and to the east was the vast and powerful Guanjiang River. The city has built nine giant wharves along the Guanjiang River, which means "Kowloon spits water to bathe in the body, and the eight divine lights shine on the temples".

The nine docks have different styles, but are all equally huge. They handle large and small merchant ships on the river all day long, as well as countless goods, news, weapons and people.

Behind the dock is the bustling market in Baihua County, where people come and go. Merchants and sailors from all over the world brag, drink and solicit prostitutes here. There are also underground casinos and black markets hidden in the market for people to have fun.

Su Heng heard Su Li say it before.

A big city like Baihua County, plus the surrounding villages and towns, has a population of over one million.

This would have been impossible in the ancient dynasties of previous lives. In those eras, it was quite a feat for a city to have a population of more than 100,000. Baihua County can reach such a scale. In addition to its relatively developed agriculture, there should also be some supernatural forces at work behind it.

Taking a large ship, Su Heng and three others crossed the Guanjiang River and boarded the dock.

Along the pier, there were elites wearing heavy black iron armor to maintain order. The sharp tips of spears and bows shone coldly in the dim light of dawn.

Su Li took out a simple-looking iron token from his arms. After seeing the inscription of the alien beast on the token, the leading soldier's face immediately changed to a respectful expression.

Su Li, Xiao Qing, and Su Heng entered the county mansion smoothly.

There were people coming and going on the street, including scribes and businessmen wearing long Confucian robes, people from the world wearing short jackets showing strong muscles, and even aliens from outside the Great Wall with blue eyes and luxuriant body hair. On both sides of the street are various shops and restaurants, and the sounds of hawking, shouting, arguments and conversations are endless.

"It's really lively, and there are a lot of delicious food. Well, it smells very good." Su Heng sighed.

There are many people on the street.

But Su Heng didn't feel crowded.

The main reason is that he is now over two meters tall and weighs an extremely exaggerated 500 kilograms.

This weight does not seem bloated for Su Heng's height.

This is because Su Heng's muscle density has reached three times or more than that of ordinary people.

If an ordinary person bumped into him head on, it would be basically the same as bumping into an iron wall. He walked in front, and the pedestrians on the road were like water separated by a ship. Before they bumped into Su Heng, they all moved to the sides to avoid him.

Of course...

Such an exaggerated body shape and inhumanly strong physique inevitably attracted many people's sidelong glances.

Even after passing by, they kept looking back. A delicate little girl, about five or six years old, was held in her father's arms. She didn't even know that the candied haws in her hand had fallen to the ground. She opened her eyes wide and didn't want to look back.

Su Heng was a little helpless.

Fortunately, he had gradually gotten used to such a striking scene, but the most urgent thing was to find a place to stay first.

Baihua County is a big city, and the place to live is also particular.

There are mainly three types.

The first type is a restaurant or inn. As long as you have money, you can live in this kind of place, but the environment is average, and people from all over the world gather here, so safety cannot be guaranteed.

The second type is a hotel. The environment of the inn is generally much better than that of the restaurant inn. It is built by the mountain and the water, like a small holiday resort. There are all kinds of recreational facilities inside, which will not interfere with eating, drinking and enjoying. But if you want to live here, you not only need money, but also need something to prove your identity.

As for the third type, it is the post station. The post station only receives official guests, and the environment may not be particularly good, but it is safe and guaranteed. In addition, you can change horses, and some can also provide some special political and military services.
