The journey from Yuping Mountain to Mirage City is almost two thousand miles. With the footsteps of the White Dragon Deer and the Iron Beast, it should have been reached in a day and night.
But the addition of an additional prisoner riding on the Elephant Dragon Beast slowed down their speed.
Although the Elephant Dragon Beast is extremely powerful and has invincible defense, and as a dragon spiritual beast, its speed is not slow, but it is relatively slower than the White Dragon Deer and Fei Iron Beast.
The four people traveled all night, and in the evening, they arrived at the foot of Qiluo Mountain. More than four hundred miles to the east, they reached the boundary of Mirage City.
Seeing that there were no more interceptions or sneak attacks by the Shui tribe along the way, Duan Yukai felt a lot more relaxed and said to Song Xing: "There is a post station ahead, let's go there to rest first. It takes less than half a day to reach the 400-mile journey. "
Song Xing nodded: "Just right, I'm a little hungry."
Song Xing was quite interested in the food of this wilderness era.
While they were talking, there were shouts from the south, the sound of hoofbeats, and dust and smoke. Several people turned their heads to look, and saw a group of big men in various clothes riding dragons, horses and other spiritual beasts galloping towards them.
Sitting on the elephant dragon beast, Yushi's concubine was slightly surprised. The five tribes in the wilderness had different colors and could never be confused.
Except for the Five Emperors and the Saints of the Five Tribes, the Jin Tribe wears white, the Wood Tribe wears cyan, the Water Tribe wears black, the Fire Tribe wears red, and the Tu Tribe wears yellow.
The group of people in front of me were wearing colorful clothes. After thinking about it, I realized that these were the Wilderness Rangers. Looking at the direction they were going, it was obvious that they were heading towards the boundary of Mirage City.
The so-called Wilderness Rangers are those from the five tribes who are unwilling to be bound by the rules of the tribe, or have committed crimes and cannot stay in the tribe anymore. They have escaped from the tribe and are not willing to join a certain force. They just wander in the wilderness and are homeless. A lonely ghost who can return home.
In recent years, Qiao Yu, the lord of Mirage City, has been generous in giving away money. As long as he is not a real criminal, when he encounters difficulties, even if he is not from Mirage City, he can go to Mirage City to get help. Therefore, Mirage City is extremely famous among the rangers. .
The rangers in front of them obviously got the news that Mirage City was besieged by the Shui Tribe and rushed thousands of miles to help Mirage City.
Duan Yukai also guessed the purpose of the ranger, and glanced at Yushi's concubine with a raised eyebrow, "You see, there is a lot of help for the good, but few for the bad, and the water monsters do many evil things. There are righteous men in the world who can help the mirage city."
Concubine Yushi leaned lazily on the back of the Elephant Dragon Beast. She had been very cooperative since she was captured at the foot of Yuping Mountain. When she heard this, she just said lazily: "The peace in the wilderness is all thanks to God. Even if the Emperor suppresses it alone, in the end, the God-Emperor is still strong enough. After living for so long, haven’t you understood the principle that the strong is king?”
After saying that, she looked at Song Xing aside, "Because he is strong enough, you can stand here alive and I will become a prisoner. If I, Chaoyang Valley, are the strong one, how do you think the outcome of Mirage City will be?"
Duan Yukai sneered, "The water demon kills innocent people indiscriminately, and is despicable and shameless. No matter how strong Zhulong is, do you think Mirage City and so many wild rangers will obey him? The God Emperor rules the world by relying on his heart of compassion and compassion. How can you people understand this kind of heart!"
While they were talking, several people came to the inn. The inn was quite large, with two floors, all built of diamond wood. It looked like a castle. There were more than a hundred dragons and horses tied outside the door. There was a lot of people inside, and it was very lively. .
No matter it is the elephant dragon beast, the white dragon deer or the iron beast, they are not ordinary spiritual beasts. When they came outside the inn, the dragons and horses all got out of the way in fear.
After entering the gate, more than a hundred big men in the hall looked over. The faces of the rangers who recognized the identity of Master Yu's concubine changed drastically, they winked at each other and put their hands lightly on their weapons.
The Dragon Girl of the Water Tribe, the number one enchantress in the wilderness, Yu Shi’s concubine’s dress is so famous in the wilderness, even people who don’t recognize her have heard of her appearance and dress.
Then someone else recognized Duan Yukai, and they all exclaimed. For a moment, they couldn't figure out why Duan Kuangren, a famous man in Mirage City, got mixed up with the Water Tribe witch.
"Haha, brother Lu Ping, I didn't expect to meet you here." Duan Yukai saw a big man in yellow who seemed to be an acquaintance and stepped forward to greet him without hesitation.
The big man in yellow, Lu Ping, was also happy, "You are really Brother Duan. I didn't expect that I would meet you here before I even arrived at Mirage City. How is everything going, Lord Qiao?"
Having said this, everyone around them quickly gave up their positions to Song Xing and the others. Duan Yukai, as the number one general and number one madman in Mirage City, was as famous among the Great Wilderness Rangers as he was in the least inferior to Qiao Yu, the lord of Mirage City.
While giving up their seats, everyone looked curiously at Song Xing and the other two people next to Duan Yukai.
Song Xing and Tuoba Ye both looked like teenagers, which could perhaps be explained as people brought over from Mirage City by Duan Yukai. As for the water demon Dragon Girl next to them, they were completely confused.
Lu Ping was more familiar with Duan Yukai. When he noticed that Duan Yukai subconsciously gave up the middle seat to Song Xing, the pupils in his eyes shrank slightly, but he knew the answer and didn't ask anything. He just ordered a new table of food and drinks.
"Brother Duan, I heard from friends of the Shui Tribe that Ke Lao Yao took the Fourteenth Young Master to Yuping Mountain to find Qing Emperor. Judging from the direction you came from, could it be that you also came from Yuping Mountain?"
There were many people at the inn, but Duan Yukai kept it in mind and did not introduce Song Xing's identity. He picked up the drink in front of him and drank it. He nodded and said, "Yes, I just came from Yuping Mountain, but I don't know where to hide my inspiration." No, I didn’t see him.”
Lu Ping knew about the grievances between Mirage City and the Mu Clan, and he was a little angry when he heard this: "We have gone through so many obstacles along the way before we got here, but none of the eight Mu Clan cities we passed allowed us to pass." He Grandma is such a bear, are the Wood Clan really getting together with the Water Demon?"
Having said this, he subconsciously glanced at Master Yu's concubine sitting next to Song Xing, and for a moment he doubted whether he had recognized the wrong person.
With the current relationship between Mirage City and Chaoyang Valley, how could Duan Yukai appear with people from the Shui Tribe.
A tall man in green clothes next to him said before Duan Yukai could speak: "Brother Lu, Mirage City and Liang Zi of the Mu Clan have been friends for thirty years. It would be good if we didn't help the water demon to besiege Mirage City. I hope Qing Emperor will put an end to this." War is difficult.”
Lu Ping sighed, "I also know this, so why don't I rush to Mirage City non-stop and try my best to do it?"
Duan Yukai rushed to Lu Ping and the big men around him and cupped his fists to say thank you: "Duan, the hundreds of thousands of people in Mirage City and Lord Qiao, thank you for your high righteousness!"
Hundreds of big men responded loudly and clasped their fists, and then began to drink, chat and laugh noisily.
Amidst the noise, Lu Ping asked in a low voice with some worry: "There are rumors in the wilderness that Lord Qiao was seriously injured when he killed the blue-winged sea dragon beast, and suffered many casualties when he confronted the water monster at sea. Brother Duan actually went to Yuping with a low face this time. Shan, could it be that Mirage City is really in trouble this time?"
Mirage City is an island city in the East Bay. According to the news Lu Ping received, the sea has been surrounded by water monsters, cutting off sea routes. The land is full of water monsters blocking the land. The Mu Clan City has also been closed to traffic for days.
Seeing Duan Yukai, Lu Ping guessed that Mirage City was probably an isolated island under heavy siege.
If the mirage city had not reached the end of its rope, Qiao Yu and Duan Yukai would never have asked Qing Emperor.
If it were Duan Yukai before, he might have felt a little depressed, but now that he had learned the God Emperor's order, he had already regarded Shennong and Song Xing as life-saving straws for the mirage city, and his whole spirit was suddenly different.
Hearing this, he smiled boldly and said: "The mirage city has been standing in the wilderness for decades. How can it be destroyed by the water monsters if they want to? Brother Lu, on the other hand, you have the most water monsters in the west. You can rush over and take it seriously."
Lu Ping's face turned red and he sighed: "Brother Duan, I'm not afraid of making fun of you. My martial arts skills are mediocre. If I hadn't been helped by an expert on the way, how could I have gotten here?"
That day, he made an appointment with more than ten rangers to go with him. When they arrived at Zitong Mountain, they were scattered by a group of wild beasts from the water tribe. He also encountered more than a hundred Chaoyang Valley water monsters. After a long and fierce battle, he gradually became exhausted. At the critical moment, he was killed by a white-haired man. Saved.
"White-haired man?" Duan Yukai thought for a while, but did not think of such a number one figure among the rangers he knew in Mirage City.
On the contrary, Master Yu's concubine next to Song Xing had a strange, vague look in her eyes when she heard Lu Ping mentioning that the white-haired man's martial arts were of the Shui tribe.
At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew up outside, the windows were pinging loudly, dark clouds covered the moon outside, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the dragons and horses were frightened and neighed.
The rangers who thought it was the pursuers of the Shui Tribe who had arrived were frightened and stood up to look outside the inn.
But after a while, the door of the inn was pushed open from the outside, and a man in green shirt walked in holding the hand of a little girl about ten years old.
The man's long white hair was tied behind his head, he had a handsome face, and a tall and handsome figure with two figure beards. His face was desolate and lonely. He wore a green shirt and had a coral flute inserted diagonally around his waist.
