Chapter 859 Qingyang City

After Han Li and Shi Chuankong chatted casually for a few words, they stopped talking and continued to walk silently with the team.

After going forward for hundreds of feet, the sound of wind and sand gradually diminished, and the huge shadow seen in the wind and sand before began to appear. It was two black mountains standing next to each other, towering thousands of feet.

Above the two mountain peaks, the rocks protrude, the surface is potholed, and there are holes of different sizes that have been eroded by wind everywhere.

Han Li raised his eyes and saw a huge canyon formed between the two peaks, and in the middle of the canyon was built a black castle with a height of several hundred feet.

The fortress has a rough style, with three huge domed bunkers above it, two sections of city wall in the middle, and a thick and tall black city wall below.

Han Li and his party entered the canyon area, and the wind and sand were almost blocked by the mountains and castles, so it was a lot easier.

When he came outside the city gate, Chen Yang took off the cotton cloth on his face, shook off the dust all over his body, came to a stone platform outside the city gate, raised his palm, and pointed at a big bronze bell hanging on it. Slapped it down.

"Boom..."

As a deep and distant bell rang, a hole suddenly opened above the gate of the city wall, and a few figures appeared inside and looked outside for a while, then a voice shouted: "Captain Chenyang is back, open the door."

After this sound came, there was a booming sound in the city wall, and accompanied by the sound of machine guns, two extremely thick black city gates slowly opened inward.

"Brother Li, Brother Shi, let's go." Chen Yang walked back, greeted Han Li and the others, and said with a smile.

The team slowly entered the castle, and the stone gate behind them was closed again.

When Han Li entered the castle, he found that the situation inside was different from what he had imagined.

The area inside the castle is quite large, with a radius of hundreds of feet. There is a huge brazier hanging on the wall every few feet. Inside is the fat of some strange beast. There is no smoke when burning, but there is a faint fishy smell. The smell pervades it.

There is a large amount of space in the castle, which is occupied by various gear machines. There are three huge stone pillars standing in the middle, and three stone ladders are hovering above, which separate the three fortresses on the city wall.

There are no longer a few people coming and going in the castle, each of them is busy, while Chen Yang's subordinates are leading all kinds of strange beasts towards the right side of the castle.

Han Li and the others stood in the hall, and soon two demon men in crimson-colored robes, each holding a thick book in one hand, and a writing brush soaked in cinnabar in the other, left. come up.

Chen Yang seemed to be very familiar with these two, with a smile on his face, he took the initiative to greet them.

"Captain Chen Yang, it looks like you've gained a lot this time?" One of the men with a round face with a sword point between his brows said with a smile.

"Thanks to the blessings of the two recorders, fortunately, I didn't return empty-handed this time." Chen Yang laughed.

Another long-eared and square-faced record officer, with a somewhat indifferent expression on his face, looked at Han Li and the three of them coldly, and asked:

"The three of them, are they obedient citizens or surrendered citizens?"

"They are the guests I invited back, and they are also going to join us in Qingyang City. As for which kind...let's talk about it after I meet the city lord." Chen Yang said with a slightly embarrassed face.

"According to the rules, the first thing to do after entering the city should be to evaluate the grade. Captain Chen Yang is afraid that it might be inappropriate to do this?" The square-faced record officer frowned and said.

Seeing this, another scribe officer hurriedly came out to act as a peacemaker, tugged on his colleague's sleeve, and said:

"Don't you worry about Captain Chenyang? He is one of the most important hunting captains of the city lord. He said that he will do the evaluation after meeting the city lord. He didn't mean that he wouldn't do it, and it doesn't matter if he waits first."

The square-faced recorder could hear that the round-faced recorder obviously emphasized the words "most important", obviously intending to remind him, so he didn't insist anymore.

"Since that's the case, it doesn't hurt to postpone it a little bit." The square-faced recorder said.

"Then I would like to thank the two recorders. The captures from this hunting have been brought back, and I need to trouble you to count them. Please accept this little care." Chen Yang showed a grateful smile, Said.

While he was speaking, he reached out his palm and handed over the two beast cores hidden in his sleeve.

The round-faced recorder said with a smile, "It's okay, you're too polite", and took it calmly.

"I'm going to meet the city lord later, and I'll arrange for you to rest for a while." After they left, Chen Yang turned and walked back to Han Li and the others, smiling.

"Who were those two just now?" Han Li asked, frowning slightly.

"They are the two recorders in Qingyang City, responsible for recording the hunting team's harvest and registering new residents." Chen Yang glanced at the backs of the two men and replied.

"What do they mean by obedient people and surrendered people?" Han Li continued to ask.

"Brother Li has outstanding hearing ability. Obedient people and descended people are grades for different people in the city. The status of obedient people is higher, and they can join the city defense team or hunting team, and they can obtain more resources. The status of descended people is lower. At first, I can only do some chores, and the resources I can enjoy are much less." Chen Yang explained.

"The evaluation that the recorder said is used to classify grades, right?" Han Li nodded and asked again.

"Haha, let's talk while walking..." Chen Yang said with a hearty smile.

After all, he would take the first step and lead Han Li and the others towards the left side of the castle.

Han Li and Shi Chuankong looked at each other and followed slowly.

"According to the rules of Qingyang City, newcomers must go through an assessment when entering the city. After the level is determined, it will be recorded in the book, and then they can be allocated according to different levels. However, I have seen your strength with my own eyes, so I want to report to the city lord and directly send you to the city. Incorporate into my command, I don't think you are willing to separate?" Chen Yang said as he walked.

"In this way, won't it break the rules in the city?" Shi Chuankong frowned and asked.

"Rules are dead, but people are alive. If after the evaluation, those censors go through the normal procedure and assign you to other hunting teams, wouldn't it be a big loss for me? However, do you still need the evaluation in the future? I have to ask the Lord City Master about this matter." Chen Yang waved his hand and said.

"It doesn't matter." Han Li shook his head and said.

"Brother Li, don't worry. With your strength, I don't think you will be able to become the new captains of the hunting team in a short time. Then don't forget my recommendation, haha..." Chen Yang looked at Han Li deeply. With a glance, he smiled.

While talking, the four of them passed through three stone arches and came to a round arched hole dug into the mountain.

After a quick glance, Han Li discovered that the so-called Qingyang City was actually excavated within the mountains of these two peaks.

Inside the round arched door, there is a humanoid stone statue more than ten feet high, which looks somewhat similar to the human race. There are no wings or scales on the outside, but the face is very blurred, making it hard to see clearly. .

"Could this be the statue of the city lord you mentioned?" Han Li asked suspiciously.

"Brother Li, you guessed wrong. The age of this statue is extremely old, even older than this Qingyang City. Who is it carved? Even our Qingyang City Lord does not know. Except Mr. Ejiu, not many people know the details." Chen Yang stopped and glanced at the statue, and said casually.

"It's okay, I'm just asking casually." Han Li said.

"The left peak of Qingyang City is divided into four floors. The floor we are in is the casting floor. It is the place where all armor and weapons in the city are forged, and it is also the place where various beasts are refined. Most of the armor Weapons and elixirs belong to the city lord after they are refined, and he is in charge of distribution and use. Only a few will be handed down, and they will be sold and traded in a few shops in the city." Chen Yang said.

"What about the rest?" Shi Chuankong glanced at the top of his head and asked again.

"The upper floor is the residence of Jiangmin, the upper two floors are the residence of Shunmin, and the top floor is the residence of the city lord. You can go to my residence later. Rest, I have to go see the city lord." Chen Yang continued.

"Then bother you." Han Li clasped his fists and laughed.

Afterwards, Chen Yang took the three of them on a brief tour of the ground floor, and then went all the way to the third floor from a spiral staircase.

The place on the third floor is obviously much smaller, and there are not as many people as the two floors below, but a spacious passage extends, and along the way you can see the entrances opened up by caves.

Chenyang's cave is in the middle of the passage, and the area of ​​the cave is not small, which is one of the better ones among all the caves.

Han Li and the others followed Chen Yang into the mansion, and immediately a woman and three men greeted them and saluted respectfully.

The men among the four were all dressed as servants. Only the woman's clothes were a little different. Although the color was also a monotonous blue-gray, they were tailored very well, fully showing off her graceful figure.

However, there is a fly in the ointment that this woman's appearance can only be regarded as average, not outstanding.

"They are considered descendants, but they are my private property. Brother Li, if you are interested, you may wish to have fun with me, a maid. You must know that women are scarce resources here, and it is not easy to monopolize one." Chen Yang looked at Glancing unscrupulously at the woman for a while, he said bluntly.

"I don't have the energy to go on a long journey, so I'd better take a rest first." Han Li declined his kindness with a smile.

"Then you all go to the guest room to rest first, and I will entertain you after I meet the city lord." Chen Yang clasped his fists slightly and said.

The three of Han Li immediately clasped their fists in return.

"You guys, take good care of the three honored guests." Chen Yang gave a solemn order before turning around and leaving.

The ordinary-looking enchanting woman stepped forward to apologize, twisted her waist like a water snake, and led Han Li and the three of them along the corridor in the mansion to their respective guest rooms.

After he left, Shi Chuankong and Xie Taoist left their guest rooms one after another and came to Han Li's side.

After closing the stone door of the guest room, the two sat around a stone table in front of Han Li.
