Chapter 332: Northern Fortress

2291, late December.

Huaxia, the imperial capital.

This is the second time for Lei Yi to set foot in the imperial capital. The previous time was to participate in the national competition, so he came with the team from the Martial Arts University.

But this time, he came alone.

"I didn't expect Yan Prison Mountain to be so special, that no one above the master level could set foot here!" Lei Yi murmured after looking at the location of the Imperial Capital Wuda.

Li Mu didn't come with him. As for the reason, it was because Yan Prison Mountain couldn't allow anyone above the Grandmaster to enter.

So it's useless for him to come, and he can't get in anyway.

As for why this is so, it is said that it is because the vitality of heaven and earth in Yan Prison Mountain is full of violent fire attribute vitality.

Once the master master stays for a long time, the fire attribute vitality will be invaded into the body of the high-level powerhouse. Once the body is filled with uncontrolled vitality, there may be a danger of exploding in the end.

This is also the weirdness of Yan Prison Mountain. Although they can use the vitality of heaven and earth, they can't control the vitality from invading themselves, so staying in Yan Prison Mountain is prone to accidents.

But people below the sixth level don't have this problem.

The vitality of Yan Prison Mountain seems to have opened its eyes, it is only interested in the master and strong, and it is harmless to the low-level people.

When they stay in Yan Prison Mountain, at most they just feel a little hotter, as long as they stay for a short time, they will be fine.

As for Lei Yi, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to absorb vitality, there is no problem.

As the escort designated by Elder Gui, he naturally had no choice but to make a trip in person to deliver things to Yan Prison Mountain.

Because he had "official duties" this time, Lei Yi took Li Mu's letter and quickly came to Wuda, the imperial capital, and found a vice president.

Shi Donghui is the only female principal among the three vice principals of Imperial Capital Wuhan University.

"Hey, that's strange. Last time, old man Lin took five places from our Principal Xu. Why did it take so long before he sent you alone?" Shi Donghui looked at the letter that Lei Yi handed over, with a strange expression on his face.

"Principal Lin said that the other four places will be used when someone breaks through next time!" Lei Yi had already prepared his speech, so he didn't hide it.

Shi Donghui glanced at Lei Yi, then at the letter, and finally nodded without doubting it.

"Come with me!" She said, and took Lei Yi to the alien passage of the Imperial Capital Wuda.

The imperial capital Wuda was built on a mountain, so the passage was naturally hidden in the mountain.

After going through several checkpoints, Lei Yi came to an underground building that was almost the same as that of Wuhan University in Shanghai.

After passing a huge metal gate, a space channel suspended in mid-air appeared in front of him.

"You can go in now. When you enter the northern fortress, go to Chen Ye, and he will arrange it for you!" Shi Donghui pointed to the passage suspended in mid-air, and urged.

Chen Ye!

Hearing this name, Lei Yi expressed that he was very familiar with him, and he had dealt with the other party many times.

"Understood!" He put on his protective clothing, nodded, and stepped into the space passage.

After a while of familiar spinning, he came to a metal secret room, and behind him was a space passage.

Skillfully taking off the protective clothing, Lei Yi was just about to act when the door of the secret room suddenly opened, and a group of warriors rushed in.

"Name." The leading warrior walked up to Lei Yi and asked in a cold voice.

Because Li Mu reminded him before, Lei Yi knew that this was the rule here.

The stronghold connected to the imperial capital Wuda is called "Northern Fortress". Unlike Heifengzhai, the scale here is very large, and the number of human warriors is several times that of Heifengzhai.

Because of the large number of people, this place is strictly controlled by military regulations, just like the mortal army before the Alien Beast War, with strict rules.

"Lei Yi!" Lei Yi answered honestly, without saying a word of nonsense.

"Where did you come from, what are you doing in the northern fortress?"

"I'm a student of the Martial Arts University in Modu. This time I came to the Northern Fortress to enter the Yan Prison Mountain!"

...

After some questions and answers, Lei Yi's identity is not a problem.

However, he is still unable to move freely, so he can only follow a martial artist to the waiting hall, waiting for some necessary procedures and registration.

After waiting for more than an hour, the staff told Lei Yi that he could move freely.

It can be seen from this that the northern fortress needs to go through many layers of security checks for the investigation of every person who comes and goes.

Lei Yiru was released, and hurried out of this place, and then formally set foot in the northern fortress.

Northern Fortress.

Known as the No. 1 Fortress in China, it is the largest and strongest stronghold for human warriors in the Ancient Immortal Realm.

The scale of the fortress is huge, not even smaller than Jingui City where Lei Yi settled down at the beginning, it seems that this place can become a city.

The interior of the northern fortress is divided into three areas, which are distributed in a circular shape, layer by layer, like an egg.

The innermost "yolk" part is the core building inside the fortress, the hub building. Just like the Martial Artists Association, there are still distributions here.

In the "protein" part of the outer layer, there are large brick houses, and there are even some "tall buildings" as high as five or six floors, and these are all properties of the consortium.

As for the outermost "eggshell" part, it is the living area of ​​some warriors.

In these areas, there are not only bars, casinos and other entertainment, but also convenience stores, shopping malls and other livelihood facilities, and the supporting facilities are very complete.

There are black metal fences between the three areas, so the layers are distinct.

What Lei Yi was going to was the branch of the Martial Artists Association inside the northern fortress, where Chen Ye was said to be.

The northern fortress branch of the Martial Artists Association.

It is a five-story black building. As for why it is black, it is because of a material called "black steel".

This is a kind of metal extracted from stone. It is extremely hard and can even block the attacks of fourth- and fifth-tier alien beasts.

It is said that after this material was extracted, it was used to refine shields and other defensive equipment, so that some low-level warriors could also resist the attacks of middle-level alien beasts.

However, one of the characteristics of this material is that its density is too high, resulting in a weight far exceeding that of other armors. If black steel armors are used, warriors will lose mobility.

Later, a huge black steel mine was discovered in the northern fortress, and after large-scale mining, this northern fortress was created.

The important buildings in the northern fortress are actually made of black steel.

Not only in the ancient immortal world, but even in the whole of China, there is no place stronger than the northern fortress.

And on the fifth floor, the highest floor of the Martial Artists Association.

In a separate office, Chen Ye's eyelids twitched for no reason.

"what happened?"

Although Chen Ye doesn't believe in the so-called fate, there is a saying that the left eye jumps for money, and the right eye jumps for disaster.

And the eyelid that jumped just now happened to be the right eye.

"Principal Chen Ye, someone is looking for you!" At this moment, a woman's voice sounded from outside the office.

He knew that it was a staff member of the Martial Artists Association here, who was in charge of some official duties on the fifth floor, and could be regarded as a secretary.

"Who is it?" Chen Ye asked instinctively.

"Principal Chen, it's me!" At this moment, a voice sounded outside the door.

Chen Ye swore that he would never forget this voice in his life.

"It's that kid!" In his mind, the scene where he went to the south and suffered two overturned cars quickly appeared in his mind.

And when the national competition was held at Wuda, the imperial capital, he overturned the car in front of the opponent again.

Meeting Lei Yi by myself = overturning the car.

Thinking of this, Chen Ye felt as uncomfortable as being pricked by a needle, and of course he was a little scared.

"Impossible, this is inside the northern fortress, how could I overturn!"

But soon, he forced himself to calm down and set himself one.

"Let him in!"

The staff outside helped Lei Yi open the office door, and Lei Yi naturally walked in, and met his "old acquaintance" Chen Ye.

"Principal Chen, let's meet again!" Someone greeted first with a very sincere smile.

The corners of Chen Ye's mouth twitched slightly, but he still pretended to be an elder, nodded and hummed.

"You boy, what's the matter with me?"

"Principal Chen, this time I came to the northern fortress because of the bet between our school's principal Lin and your school's principal Xu. I just want to use one of the five places in Yan Prison Mountain!" Lei Yi expressed his intention, simply and straightforwardly. .

After hearing this, Chen Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Yan Prison Mountain was dangerous, he couldn't get in, so he didn't need to accompany Lei Yi to do anything.

"Oh, you're going to Yan Prison Mountain too?" Then he asked curiously.

"Also?" It was Lei Yi's turn to be surprised this time.

"Just a few days ago, many students from our academy also entered Yan Prison Mountain, and I was responsible for sending them in!" Chen Ye smiled, but did not hide it, "If you came a few days earlier, maybe We can go out together!"

Lei Yi shrugged and didn't say much.

There is a secret mission here by myself, and it is more dangerous to form a team with the people from the imperial capital.

Because he can remember how he defeated the people from Wuda, the capital of the emperor, and the two sides actually still have a lot of enmity.

"As an elder, I would like to remind you that you'd better be careful, because among the people who entered Yan Prison Mountain this time, there are several students who participated in the Grand Competition, and among them is Nangong Yan, whose arms you had removed!"

Finally, Chen Ye kindly reminded Lei Yi that he should be prepared.

In the end, the two didn't talk much, and after Chen Ye handed Lei Yi the map leading to Yan Prison Mountain, he sent him away.

After getting the road map, Lei Yi didn't think about anything else.

He avoided the people of the imperial capital whenever he could.

If you can't avoid it, don't be afraid of the other party.

If Nan Gongyan and the others don't open their eyes, he doesn't mind teaching them how to behave.

Thinking of this, Lei Yi walked out of the most central area, walked through the consortium area on the second floor, and soon came to the outermost layer of the northern fortress.

This is a residential area, but unlike Heifengzhai, there are a lot of brick houses here, but there are very few shanty towns.

Compared with Heifengzhai, the accommodation conditions for the resident warriors here are better.

Not only that, but there are even more warriors in this area, basically walking on the road, you can see more than ten warriors at a glance.

"The northern fortress is indeed the strongest stronghold in China. Warriors can feel at ease here to hunt and kill strange beasts. No wonder there are so many people!"

It is said that the northern fortress has been built for more than 50 years, and there have been many times of alien beasts attacking the city in the records, but every time the alien beast's attack was blocked by the iron wall of the fortress.

There are even very few strange beasts that can threaten the area on the second floor, and the central area has never been affected.

This guy likes a safe place.

The northern fortress is so strong, warriors will naturally come here to practice.

Therefore, the number of resident warriors here is also the first among the Chinese strongholds.
