Looking at the towering city walls that stretched endlessly beyond the end of the field of vision in the dark night, the huge city exceeded Shen Hao's prior imagination.
In the past, the miscellaneous documents Shen Hao had read about Wong Si City were usually described as a "giant city" when they were mentioned in Wan Si City. There was no detailed description or analogy. Shen Hao always regarded Wan Si City as a similar city. In a big port like Fengri City or Xinliang City.
But now it seems that he still has little experience.
Who said that the largest city in the world must be the Tianlan Imperial City in the Jingji Dynasty? Who said that a big port must be as big as Fengri City or Xinliang City?
Anyway, this was the first time Shen Hao saw the long city wall that stretched beyond the end of his field of vision from left to right. The length of a single face was estimated to be no less than fifty miles.
"It's very big, right? The City of Wasted Death sits on an entire peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides. The side that connects to the land is entirely a city wall built with formations. Its strength is no worse than the outer wall of the Jingjiu Palace. The entire City of Wasted Death is almost the same size. It is the size of the three Tianlan Imperial Cities. It is the real largest city."
The entire peninsula can be used as a city, which is naturally unparalleled.
Another thing that surprised Shen Hao was that even though it was late at night, strict screening was still not required when entering the city. Neither the identity nor the accompanying items were checked. There was even no need to register the name or the purpose of the visit at the city gate. , you only need to pay the tax for entering the city.
However, according to Shen Hao's observation, in addition to their group needing to pay one or two low-grade spiritual stones as a high city entry tax, those caravans lining up to enter the city with goods or hawkers carrying backpacks do not need to pay the city entry tax. .
The moment he entered the city gate, Shen Hao frowned. He noticed an unusual smell lingering around him, or in other words, filling the entire city of Fusi.
"It's a poisonous miasma." Lin Dashan smiled and introduced to Shen Hao: "The poisonous miasma has been raging in the city all year round. It rises from the underground palace and spreads throughout the city. Moreover, this poisonous miasma is very strange, and it does little harm to ordinary people. It can be ignored, but as your cultivation level increases, the damage caused by the poisonous miasma will become greater. It's fine on the ground, but you will feel uncomfortable. It's enough to put up a layer of true energy barrier. Over time, you will get used to the poisonous miasma. There are a lot of people there too. But it’s not so easy down there in the underground palace.”
Shen Hao nodded and said nothing more. He knew about the poisonous miasma in the underground palace of Wusi City, but he didn't expect that it would spread to the ground. You must know that this period is the day when the underground palace is about to open. Logically speaking, it is still the mildest time of the year for the poisonous miasma. How strong would it be if it were on weekdays?
It's no wonder that Lin Dashan said before that "the monks in Wusi City are more adaptable to the poisonous environment." This is almost daily, and naturally they are more adaptable than the monks in the Jingjiu Dynasty.
After entering the city, the group of people took the familiar road and walked in the city. Their destination was the temporary residence arranged by the City of Fusei, which was a camp near the entrance of the underground palace.
That's right, not a restaurant or inn, but a campground. Why is the City of Wasteland huge? There are still woodlands and hills within the city walls, and the area close to the underground palace is not an ordinary place to walk around. It is enclosed in a large area to provide a warning and a place to camp for the underground palace exploration that comes every year.
The distance was quite far, and it would take a long time to walk there, but Shen Hao also took this opportunity to see more of the city of Fusei.
To be honest, the buildings along the streets in Wusi City are actually similar in style to the ones Shen Hao had seen in major cities in the old Jing Dynasty. At most, there are some barbarian styles interspersed among them. Overall, there is not much novelty.
There are just a lot of people on the street. There are so many that it makes people wonder if it is late at night.
Some drunk people fell down on the roadside and had their pockets searched by a group of people laughing and joking, and some even dragged people into alleys like dead dogs.
Some were fighting with their fists, some were hugging each other and laughing... many shops were even open and still open for business.
"Private fights are allowed in the city of Wanshi, but magic is not allowed on the streets. No one cares about head-to-head confrontations with fists. If you want to decide between life and death, you must go to the life and death arena to collect the spiritual stones. Then there will be a referee in the middle. No one will be allowed to die until one of them dies. Come down. If you use magic to break the rules on the street, the patrolling disciples of the Third Chief will punish you until you lose your fortune. If you fail to pay the penalty, your life will be at risk."
At first glance, it seems that the rules in the city of Wanshi are "if you have money, you can do whatever you want, and you will have to pay for it", but if you think about it carefully, you will find that this is completely "squeeze out the oil first, and chop off the head if there is no oil." Unless the fist can It's so big that I can fight with the three leaders, otherwise I would have to live with my tail between my legs no matter how much money I have.
But don't think that the chaos in the city was in vain so the ordinary people here are in dire straits. The fact is exactly the opposite.
Blackwater's spies here have made detailed reports on the plight of ordinary people in Wusi City. That would be a waste of time. The city has many strict protection rules for ordinary people in the city. Anyone who dares to be malicious to ordinary people in the city will also receive the most severe punishment. It is precisely because of these protective measures that ordinary people in the city of Fusi can survive and do business normally under the scrutiny of barbarians, evil monks, and thugs.
Another impression is that there are really many monks here. Perhaps it was because of the late night, except for the people who were driving and riding, there were almost no ordinary people on the road, and the rest were all monks. This was something you couldn't see in the big cities in the Jingji Dynasty.
Although they were walking on two legs, the ones with the lowest cultivation level in the group were all at the seventh level of Yuan Dan Realm. Their walking speed was actually not much slower than that of a galloping horse. After walking through the city for two sticks of incense, they arrived at a pass. The inspection here is much stricter than when passing through the city gate.
I registered my name and cultivation level, but did not register my sect. I just showed the Death City Order and went over it.
After passing this level, there is a hilly area. The field of vision cannot extend very far between the ups and downs. In addition, in the darkness of the night, we can only vaguely see the light of fire between some hills.
"Deacon Shen, the great elder asked me to pick you up."
As soon as Shen Hao passed the pass, a monk wearing a golden sword robe came over. He bowed and raised his hands to express his intention from a distance of ten feet.
"The Great Elder is here? Who are the others?"
"Return to the deacon, in addition to the great elder, there are four elders, five elders and six elders here." Jin Jianwei's attitude was very respectful, and he told the masters who came to Fenghong Villa this time.
Shen Hao nodded, turned around and said hello to Lin Dashan, and then followed the Golden Sword Guard inside. No matter what, he needed to meet the people of Fenghong Villa first, etiquette must be followed, and after that To enter the underground palace, he still needs the protection of Fenghong Villa.
However, what Shen Hao didn't expect was that this time it was not the second elder Duan Jue who led the team, but the first elder.
