Chapter 302 Arrival at Zhongzhou

The silver-white halo circulated around, and the space seemed to ripple gently like water waves. A luxurious ship was wrapped in a faint light cover and flew steadily in it. In this monotonous and mysterious shuttle process, time seemed to lose its concept and became blurred.

On this space ship, a woman with fiery red hair was operating almost mechanically. From time to time, she raised her hand and waved out a fighting spirit, and the power was immediately absorbed by the receiving instrument on the ship. She has repeated this action countless times, and it seems that she has reached the level of perfection.

The girl looked about sixteen or seventeen years old and was about the same height as Qinglin. The most eye-catching thing was her eyes, one eye was clear blue and the other was deep red.

This strange pair of eyes was because she was originally a transformed monster, and her body was a two-headed fire spirit snake. In the monster form, she had two heads. Although she did not retain this feature after turning into a human form, this pair of heterochromatic pupils became her unique symbol.

The two-headed fire spirit snake had long ago become Qinglin's powerful snake pet. It was not only full of spirituality, but also had grown into a fifth-level peak magic beast after years of careful training. Its strength was far different from the initial strength.

Because Xiao Ling had collected several transformation pills in the pill hall of Guiling Venerable before. In view of the fact that this guy was quite likable on weekdays and had made a lot of efforts in obtaining the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, Xiao Ling was in a good mood and gave it a transformation pill. This allowed this fifth-level magic beast to transform into a human form in advance.

Such treatment made Qinglin's other snake pets have a lot of envy and hatred for this guy.

On the deck of the spaceship, Zi Yan leaned against the railing, playing with the seven-colored swallowing sky python in her hand. Her eyes casually swept across the monotonous scene in the space channel, and a trace of obvious boredom appeared in her eyes.

For a vibrant person like Zi Yan, being trapped in such a small space and not being able to move around freely is really a torment.

She retracted her gaze and turned to Xiao Yixian, who was reading a book attentively, with a hint of laziness and impatience in her tone: "Xiao Yixian, how long have we been flying? Why haven't we reached Zhongzhou yet? I'm almost bored. How long will it take us to reach Zhongzhou?"

"It's been about 20 days, and I didn't pay much attention to the time. But Yao Lao mentioned before that it should be here soon." Hearing Zi Yan's complaints, Xiao Yixian closed the book in her hand, turned around and answered easily.

Even someone with a calm personality like Xiao Yixian couldn't help feeling a little bored in the face of such a monotonous journey.

The novelty of the few people's previous experience of traveling through the space wormhole has now disappeared.

Qinglin, who was not far away, had just fed a few snake pets and heard the conversation between the two, so he smiled at the red-haired woman at the bow and said, "Xiaohuo, we have to speed up a bit, everyone is waiting a little anxiously."

Although Qinglin's words were soft and gentle, the two-headed fire spirit snake couldn't help but feel worried when he heard it. It thought to itself, if I had known, I would not have taken on this hard job just to please the little master. It was really a living hell.

It shook its head helplessly and could only speed up the input of Dou Qi. As the input of Dou Qi increased, the speed of the spaceship also increased a lot.

…

In these monotonous and repetitive days, time seemed to have wings, and two days slipped away quietly.

The sun shone on the deck, and Zi Yan and her two friends leaned lazily on the railing, chatting casually. At this moment, the voice of Xiao Huo, who was at the helm, with unconcealable excitement and a sense of relief, floated into everyone's ears.

"Master, two ladies, we are about to reach the exit of the space wormhole!" Xiao Huo's voice seemed to inject a dose of vitality into this calm picture, making people instantly refreshed.

Hearing Xiao Huo's words, Zi Yan, Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian immediately looked up and saw a silver halo looming in the darkness in the distance. That was the exit of the space wormhole.

Before they could get excited about leaving this miserable place, they heard a "click" sound behind them, the sound of the door opening. Then, Xiao Ling appeared at the door.

"Haha, it seems I'm here at the right time." Xiao Ling said with a smile as he walked towards them.

Xiao Yixian couldn't help but purse her lips and smiled, teasing: "You guy, did you calculate the time to come out? You are so bad."

Xiao Ling shrugged and responded indifferently: "Sometimes, things are like they are arranged, always so appropriate..."

"We are here, ready to go out!" With these words, the spaceship has glided silently to the dark wormhole entrance.

Xiaohuo carefully reduced the output of Dou Qi, and the speed of the ship gradually decreased. Finally, it stopped steadily in front of the thin film-like wormhole exit, only half a meter away from the exit.

After more than 20 days of steering, Xiaohuo's driving skills have reached the level of perfection. And it itself may not know that from now on, it will become Xiao Ling and his team's exclusive boatman for traveling through the space wormhole

…

In front of him was a vast and vibrant plain. In the center of the plain, there was a square covered with gravel. In the center of the square, many mysterious and complex symbols were drawn on the ground. These symbols emitted a faint silver light, which seemed to imply some kind of spatial power.

The square was quiet. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up without warning. Then, in the center of the square, a silver halo appeared out of thin air. The shadow of a ship flashed past the halo, quickly shrank, and finally four figures jumped out of the halo.

As the four people landed, the silver halo gradually dissipated.

Xiao Ling and his friends stood on this new land, bathing in the long-lost sunshine. Xiao Ling couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then said softly with a trace of satisfaction and expectation: " Zhongzhou, we finally arrived..."

"I finally came out. I was almost bored in that space wormhole." Zi Yan complained while stretching. Her little face was full of impatience. Obviously, these more than half a month in the space wormhole really made her feel boring.

The little medical fairy's eyes wandered among the crowds in the square. She noticed that everyone coming and going was at least a Dou Ling level expert, and the guards who maintained order on the side were at least Dou Wang Five Stars in strength. .

"Is this Zhongzhou? It seems that there are really many masters here." The little medical fairy looked around and commented softly, "And the air here seems to be filled with more energy from heaven and earth, which is much richer than that in the northwest continent. "

Xiao Ling responded with a smile: "This is not the most prosperous area in Zhongzhou. Only when you get there will you know what it means to have fighting sects walking all over the street, and there are as many fighting emperors as dogs." There was a hint of relaxed humor in his words, continued.

"Zhongzhou is not comparable to remote areas like the northwest. There are many more opportunities and strong people here, so we have to be careful." As he said that, Xiao Ling glanced at Zi Yan specifically. This girl is not someone who can Lord of peace.

But Zi Yan didn't seem to listen to Xiao Ling's words at all. She was looking around excitedly, full of curiosity about the new environment.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to remind him again, Qing Lin asked obediently: "Master, how should we go now?"

Qinglin's question made Xiao Ling stunned for a moment. He had never been to Zhongzhou and really didn't know what to do next.

"We must first find someone who knows how to ask for directions and get a map by the way, otherwise we will really get lost in this huge Zhongzhou." Xiao Ling said casually as he strode towards the city gate in front of him.

Seeing that Xiao Ling had started to take action, the Little Medical Fairy and Zi Yan quickly followed his pace.

The gate of the city is bustling with people coming and going, and various vendors and pedestrians are passing through, making it very lively. The guards here are also very strong. Among the several Douwang-level guards, there is even a strong man who has reached the Douhuang level. Their eyes are sharp and they patrol every pedestrian who comes in and out.

After Xiao Ling and others paid one hundred gold coins each, they successfully entered the city.

Entering the city, they found that the flow of people was even denser, the shops on both sides of the street were lined up in rows, the sounds of hawking were coming and going, and the air was filled with the aroma of various foods, making people salivate.

Xiao Ling's eyes scanned the bustling crowd, looking for anyone who might be able to help. His eyes finally settled on an experienced-looking old man sitting leisurely behind the stall.

"Old gentleman, can you tell us where we can buy a map?" Xiao Ling stepped forward, smiled slightly, and asked politely.

The old man raised his head, looked at Xiao Ling and his group with his deep eyes, then showed a kind smile and pointed to an intersection not far away, "Go to the intersection over there, then turn left and walk for a while. We’re here. There’s a map shop over there, you can go there and have a look.”

"Thank you, old man." Xiao Ling said gratefully, leaving a third-grade elixir as a thank you gift, and then took the Little Medical Fairy and Zi Yan to follow the old man's guidance.

The figures of Xiao Ling and others gradually moved away, but the old man's eyes still stayed in the direction they left.

His voice was hoarse and he whispered to himself, as if he was remembering something, "These young people are not simple. Is that soul body the stubborn little guy back then? Haha, it seems that Zhongzhou is going to be lively. , it’s time for me to consider reincarnation.”

The old man's figure gradually became blurred in the crowd. He seemed completely out of tune with the noise around him, and he just disappeared without attracting anyone's attention.

Following the old man's instructions, Xiao Ling and the others walked through the busy street. There were a dazzling array of shops and stalls on both sides, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining came and went.

Soon, they saw the map shop the old man mentioned. A huge map hung at the door, full of complex lines and symbols.

Xiao Ling didn't waste much time and walked briskly into the store with the three girls. There was an old man in the store. He had a shrewd look on his face, and you could tell he was a businessman at a glance. Xiao Ling took a glance and found that the old man's strength was about the level of a fighting master, and his talent in cultivation was almost negligible.

"Are these guests here to buy maps?" When the old man saw Xiao Ling and the others coming in, he immediately greeted them enthusiastically, with a smile on his face full of anticipation.

"Here's the most complete map of Zhongzhou." Xiao Ling said easily. His eyes slowly wandered around the store, looking around carefully, but soon he found that there was no novelty here as he expected, so he His gaze returned to the old man, "By the way, tell me where this place is."

"Haha, little brother, you have come to the right place." With a sly smile, the old man quickly took out a beautifully decorated map scroll from behind the counter and handed it to Xiao Ling, "This is the centerpiece of our store. Zhibao, the essence version of the Zhongzhou map, plus my exclusive information, a total of 100,000 gold coins, absolutely worth every penny."

"One hundred thousand gold coins..." Xiao Ling couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard the price, thinking to himself that this old guy is really a big talker, but to him, this gold coin is really nothing. He didn't say anything and just paid the gold coins in full.

The little medical fairy took the map and opened it to look at it with interest, her eyes shining with curiosity.

The old man accepted the gold coins, and the smile on his face became even brighter, like a blooming chrysanthemum. He continued, "It seems that it is the first time for several of you to come to Zhongzhou. If you are looking for someone to inquire about the news, I am the right person. I But……"

Don’t beat around the bush and just tell us the key points. "Zi Yan's voice came from the side, interrupting the old man's words, with a hint of playful impatience in her voice.

"I understand, I understand, some of you who are new here don't know. This city is called Xingyao City. It is located in the northern region of Zhongzhou. It is one of the important cities in Zhongzhou leading to other regions. The space wormhole connecting our Xingyao City has There are more than dozens of them, all the way from Xingyao City to the south, which is the most prosperous place in the entire continent, the Central Region!"

"The Xingyao Sect is the only one in Xingyao City and controls the key space wormholes in the city. Although there are no Douzun strongmen in the sect, there are several Douzong strongmen, and their strength cannot be underestimated. They rely on their ability to deal with space worms. On the one hand, the control of the wormhole requires high tolls, and on the other hand, it also shoulders the important task of maintaining the stability of the wormhole and the safety of the city. "

The head of the Xingyao Sect is a Seven-Star Dou Sect, who is powerful and has great leadership skills. Under his leadership, the Xingyao Sect's position in Xingyao City has become increasingly stable. There are also several Douzong elders in the sect, who are responsible for different matters, such as guarding the wormhole, managing the order in the city, training young disciples, etc..."

As soon as the old man opened his mouth, he opened a chat box and talked endlessly. Obviously, it was a rare treat for him to describe the local customs and customs to these travelers who had just arrived in Zhongzhou. For him, who has mediocre cultivation talent, this kind of communication is undoubtedly a great pleasure in his life.

Xiao Ling and the Little Medical Fairy did not interrupt the old man's enthusiastic narration and listened patiently to him for about ten minutes. The old man was very engaged and even a little excited when he spoke, and he was a little out of breath in the end.

Finally, the old man ended his long speech. With a hint of humor and a smug smile, he winked at Xiao Ling and the others and said, "How is it, old man, I said it pretty well, right?"

"Haha, thank you for your advice, old man. We won't disturb you." Xiao Ling said goodbye to the old man with a smile, feeling that this old man was quite interesting. Afterwards, he took the three women and left the store.

Next, they found the most luxurious-looking hotel in Star City and booked a comfortable private room. They ordered several local specialties and began to enjoy this delicious dinner to relax from the fatigue and boredom of the previous journey.

While eating, Xiao Ling also took the map from the Little Medical Fairy. His eyes scanned the map, but he could not find the place name Poison Mist Valley, and even Luoshen Stream was not recorded.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling couldn't help but frown and murmured to himself, "It seems that Poison Mist Valley is not an easy place to find. It should be known to some people with status."

However, Tianbei City, where the Han Yue family lives, is recorded on it, and the distance is not very far. Recently, it only takes two space wormholes and a short flight to get there.

Thinking of that graceful figure, Xiao Ling couldn't help but have a look of nostalgia in his eyes. It was time to go and have a look.

At this time, Zi Yan had just swallowed a mouthful of processed monster meat, and asked Xiao Ling with some vague words: "Xiao Ling, what are our plans next? Are we going directly to Old Man Yao's Xingyun Pavilion?"

Xiao Ling listened, smiled slightly, and replied: "Actually, there is no need to be in such a hurry. I know there is a place that is a good opportunity for the Little Medical Fairy. If we can get the things there, not only can the Little Medical Fairy's With greater strength, we can also find the last key material to solve the evil poisonous body."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Ling, especially the Little Medical Fairy, whose eyes shone with curiosity and expectation.

At this moment, Yaochen and Lord Tianhuo, who were sipping tea at the next table, also cast curious glances.

Yao Chen smiled and joked: "You kid, what good opportunity did you get?"

Xiao Ling smiled softly and took out a roll of animal skin map from Najie. With a wave of his hand, the map flew lightly towards Yaochen. Yaochen reached out and took it, examining it carefully.

"When I was searching for treasures in the Black Corner Domain, I accidentally discovered this map." Xiao Ling explained, "It records the location of the Nether Poison Fire in detail. I am an alchemist, so it is not suitable to absorb this strange fire, but for It is perfect for Xian'er's poisonous body."

He paused and continued, "And according to the records on the map, there is a seventh-level Nether Poison Dragon Scorpion living in the location of the Nether Poison Fire. This kind of monster is the superior race of the Sky Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast. It uses its magic core to Come and help the Little Medical Immortal condense the poison elixir, and the effect will definitely be better."
