Chapter 102
In a three-story stone building.
Xiao Zhan sat at the end of the conference table and looked out the window absently.
Li Xingchen looked at Xiao Zhan seriously, with a trace of guilt in his eyes:
"Xiao Zhan, I'm sorry, it's just that we are narrow-minded. We shouldn't think bad things about Yanlong Kingdom."
Xiao Zhan withdrew his gaze and said solemnly:
"Everyone, I think we should put aside these unimportant things."
Everyone looked at Xiao Zhan, wondering what Xiao Zhan meant.
Xiao Zhan frowned and said in a deep voice:
"The current strength of Yanlong City is not strong enough."
"The top priority is to improve the combat effectiveness of Yanlong City, and then strengthen the defense of the occupied area."
"Of course, there is the most important thing! True Essence Stone Mineral Veins!"
Xiao Zhan's eyes were firm:
"Yanlong Kingdom needs the True Essence Stone, and Yanlong City also needs the True Essence Stone."
"Only by finding a way to send the True Essence Stone out of the Lost Land, will the Yanlong Kingdom be able to give birth to more masters and enter the Lost Land to strengthen the power of Yanlong City."
Li Xingchen frowned:
"Xiao Zhan, we all understand what you said."
"But the Lost Land is too big. There are no true essence stone veins in the area we occupy."
"In addition, there has been no news about the fourth elder and the fifth elder. If something happens to them, it will be a huge blow to our Yanlong City."
Xiao Zhan nodded and suddenly asked:
"How much information does Yanlong City have about other forces in the Lost Land?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Li Xingchen sighed:
"Except for the Southern Coconut Kingdom this time, we do not have control over the base of any other forces."
Xiao Zhan couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
This is really a hellish level of difficulty.
There is almost zero hope of growing Yanlong City.
But what Xiao Zhan is best at is creating miracles.
He looked at the 10,000-meter-high pyramid building a hundred meters away, his eyes fell on the huge gun barrels on it, and asked:
"How many technological weapons can Yanlong City use?"
Li Xingchen said truthfully:
"There are only these few city protection cannons. After all, thermal weapons are not very useful here."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "What is the pyramid used for?"
"That is the most important place in the entire Yanlong City," an old man in the late stage of Qi Gathering Realm said solemnly: "In the past few hundred years, all the information we have about the lost land is in it."
"In addition, the First Elder and the Second Elder are also retreating inside."
"But, to enter there, you must reach the Qi Sea Realm," Li Xingchen took over and sighed: "It's all our fault that we don't even have the qualifications to enter there."
"The treasure house of our Yanlong City is also inside. All the True Essence Stones, some precious medicinal materials and weapons are in it."
"Of course, to use those resources, you must get the consent of the elders."
"After all, those are strategic materials that our Yanlong City needs in case of emergencies. They cannot be easily touched."
Xiao Zhan frowned, "Is the True Essence Stone inside enough for you to break through to the Qi Sea Realm?"
A group of people shook their heads, "We have no way of knowing how many true essence stones are inside."
Xiao Zhan sighed secretly, changed the topic and asked:
"How to find true essence stone veins? How to mine true essence stone?"
Li Xingchen told the truth:
"The reason for the formation of the True Essence Stone veins is still unknown."
"But over the years, various forces have indeed developed some methods of exploring mineral veins, and each force is different."
"We in Yanlong City have developed a method of looking at Qi."
Li Xingchen said slowly:
"Wherever there are veins of true essence stone, the concentration of the mysterious fog will increase."
"If you are sensitive enough to the fog, you may be able to find the true essence stone veins, but everyone's perception of the fog is different."
"As for the mining method," Li Xingchen said solemnly: "Each force has different mining methods. The method we have mastered is to use a group of special metals mixed in the true essence stone veins to make mining tools."
At this point, Li Xingchen stopped.
The conference room suddenly became extremely quiet.
Xiao Zhan murmured to himself: "The stronger the fog, the more likely it is that true essence stone veins will form?"
"Is this possible?" Xiao Zhan looked at everyone, "Could the mysterious white mist be released from the True Essence Stone veins?"
As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately frowned and retorted:
"The True Essence Stone is something that enhances our strength, but the white mist is constantly eroding our meridians and True Essence. How can there be a connection between the two?"
Xiao Zhan nodded subconsciously, but he always felt that there was some relationship between the two, but he couldn't explain it, so he simply stopped the topic.
He looked at everyone again and said in a deep voice:
"That's what I planned."
"I plan to go to the edge of the Lost Land and try to leave the Lost Land."
"If I could go out, I might be able to come up with a more effective way to explore the spirit stone veins."
Everyone nodded, but there was a flash of complicated emotions in their eyes.
They knew very well that it was almost impossible for Xiao Zhan to leave the Lost Land.
Otherwise, after so many years, no one in Yanlong City would be able to leave the Lost Land.
After knowing that leaving the Lost Land was difficult, Xiao Zhan had always had a stone hanging in his heart.
After greeting everyone, he didn't stop at all and quickly rushed towards the edge of the Lost Land according to the route he came from.
The day after Xiao Zhan left, two seriously injured old men returned to Yanlong City. They were the current fourth and fifth elders of Yanlong City.
At the same time, Li Xingchen discovered that his daughter Li Fanxing was missing!
In a dense forest somewhere, Xiao Zhan, who was running wildly, suddenly stopped and turned to look at the trees a hundred meters behind him.
Behind the trees, Li Fanxing squatted on the ground, panting heavily. His handsome face was flushed with heroic spirit, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He was obviously very tired.
Xiao Zhan frowned and said coldly:
"Li Fanxing, this is not a game of house! I told you, don't follow me again!"
"If you die on the road, no one will find your body!"
Li Fanxing walked out from behind the trees and turned his head to the side expressionlessly:
"If I can find an exit, my death will be worth it."
Xiao Zhan's head was full of black lines.
"Is there no route to the exit from Yanlong City?"
"Of course," Li Fanxing nodded, "but we can't get close to those exits."
Xiao Zhan said angrily: "Then why are you still following me?!"
"What if you find an exit to leave?" Li Fanxing said confidently: "I said, you don't have to worry about my life or death. This is my own choice."
Xiao Zhan said helplessly:
"If you want to be a hero, you have to look at your own strength."
"Even if I find an exit to leave, how will you bring the road map back to Yanlong City?"
"You only have saint-level strength. In this lost land, you are the food of the wild beasts. But don't forget, a blue snake almost killed you."
Li Fanxing couldn't listen to Xiao Zhan's words at all.
Xiao Zhan didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, turned around and left as a phantom.
Li Fanxing hurriedly chased after him, but couldn't keep up with Xiao Zhan's speed.
Especially as the sky gradually darkened, Li Fanxing couldn't see Xiao Zhan's figure. As he walked through the dense forest, he always felt like something was following him.
She would look back from time to time, not daring to stop at all.
Suddenly, a red light flashed in front of him.
Li Fanxing screamed, jumped away quickly, and then jumped onto a big tree, his heart beating loudly.
In the distance, Xiao Zhan caught the Liuye flying knife that flew back, his face full of anger.
He was obviously in a hurry, but this girl Li Fanxing came to hold him back.
If he really didn't care whether she lived or died, Xiao Zhan would have run away at least a thousand miles.
This place is already thousands of miles away from Yanlong City. If he continues forward, Li Fanxing will not be able to find his way back to Yanlong City, and he will probably die on the way.
Xiao Zhan was also conflicted for a while. He neither wanted to take Li Fanxing with him, nor was he willing to spend time sending Li Fanxing back to Yanlong City.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhan heard crying.
Li Fanxing, this fierce girl who is not afraid of anything, actually cried?
"Why cry!"
Hearing Xiao Zhan's voice, Li Fanxing immediately stopped crying and said in surprise:
"You didn't leave?"
Xiao Zhan didn't say anything. He jumped onto the big tree, then sat cross-legged on a thick branch and began to adjust the true energy in his body.
Li Fanxing subconsciously moved closer to Xiao Zhan.
"You are anxious to leave the Lost Land, do you miss your family?"
"Actually, I miss my mother too."
Li Fanxing's tone was a little disappointed, and he murmured in a low voice:
"More than ten years ago, people from Nanye Island attacked Yanlong City. My grandparents, as well as my mother, all died in that battle."
"Xiao Zhan, is Yanlong Kingdom very stable? There are no wars, wild beasts, and poisonous insects, right?"
"Xiao Zhan?"
"Xiao Zhan? Can you talk to me?"
"Xiao Zhan!!! Will you die if you ignore me?!"
"You have time to talk nonsense, why not adjust yourself," Xiao Zhan said coldly: "If you dare to hold me back tomorrow, I will leave you in the woods to fend for yourself!"
Li Fanxing suddenly stopped talking.
The night is extremely long.
Xiao Zhan originally planned to travel day and night and rush as fast as possible.
But now that Li Fanxing is here, he has to spend at least twice as much time.
Finally, dawn lit up the horizon.
Xiao Zhan slapped Li Fanxing on the head and growled:
"Let's go! Haven't you had enough sleep?"
Li Fanxing screamed in pain, covered his head and glared at Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan jumped off the tree and ran wildly into the distance.
Li Fanxing didn't dare to say anything and quickly followed.
But even though Xiao Zhan slowed down, Li Fanxing still found it difficult to persist.
Although Li Fanxing was only at the Saint level, the true energy in his body had not yet been transformed into true essence, so he naturally did not need the true essence stone.
But after a night of running around, the energy in her body had been exhausted. Even after a night's rest, she still hadn't recovered much.
Li Fanxing was still gritting his teeth and persisting.
Xiao Zhan looked at the map and found that he still had several days to travel, and suddenly became a little annoyed.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan turned back and struck Li Fanxing on the neck with his palm. Li Fanxing's eyes widened, as if he was asking what Xiao Zhan wanted to do to him! ?
At this moment, she thought of a lot.
How come I am so alone and have no defense at all? !
The next moment, Li Fanxing fainted.
Xiao Zhan reached out to pick up Li Fanxing and ran at full speed.
By the time he reached the Qi Gathering Realm, he was already as light as a swallow, because Xiao Zhan was so fast that there were gusts of wind blowing around him.
The nearby beasts and poisonous insects also huddled in their lair after sensing his powerful aura.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Fanxing gradually regained consciousness.
She only felt that her eyelids were extremely heavy, her neck was extremely sore, and there was a whistling wind in her ears.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was flying quickly close to the ground.
wrong!
Li Fanxing looked up and saw that he was being held by Xiao Zhan and swooping down from the top of the mountain. The speed was so fast that Li Fanxing couldn't even see clearly the scenes flashing around him.
"Xiao Zhan, let me down, I can leave on my own!"
Without slowing down, Xiao Zhan raised his hand and knocked on Li Fanxing's neck again.
Li Fanxing was very happy and fainted again.
A few hours later, Li Fanxing opened his eyes again and continued to struggle.
Especially when he saw Xiao Zhan carrying him and running wildly across the river, while strange red-eyed fish with fangs kept jumping out of the water, almost biting Li Fanxing's face.
"Xiao Zhan, let me go..."
"Bang!" Xiao Zhan knocked Li Fanxing unconscious for the third time.
