Xu Zhiyin's skills are quite strong, and she seems to be a small practitioner. When she ran away, she didn't forget to grab Chu Liang and run with her.
When the long-necked monster behind him saw the two running away, he immediately started chasing after them. It is huge, its legs are not cumbersome at all when it moves out, and its footsteps are extremely fast.
"Miss Xu, don't run away," Chu Liang said.
"Yes, we can't run anymore." Xu Zhiyin thought quickly, "This place is too far from the Python Belly City. We can't run away from it on flat ground. We have to hide!"
After saying that, she turned around and walked around to a group of semi-convex black rocks on the side. He immediately twisted behind a protruding black rock, sat down with his back, and then poked his head out to take a peek at the monster behind him.
I found that the monster was gone.
Xu Zhiyin did not dare to relax, but looked around cautiously.
At the same time, a long shadow poked out from above the black rock...
Chu Liang opened his eyes wide and looked at the monster.
Xu Zhiyin soon realized something was wrong. She turned her eyes and her pupils suddenly tightened. She was so frightened that she couldn't make a sound!
The beast's ferocious head hung on its long neck, and it looked at the two of them with salivating eyes. It actually uttered vague human words in its mouth: "I found you..."
Chu Liang looked at it calmly, thinking that if you find it, you will find it. It is not a game of hide and seek. If you find it, you will win.
"Ouch——"
Just when the monster roared and opened its mouth to eat people, Chu Liang took action.
No, to be precise, it's a kick.
But seeing that he was still sitting on the ground, he stretched out his hands, hung one foot upside down on a golden hook, and kicked the monster's huge eyes hard!
Bang——
This kick was so powerful that it actually caused the monster beast's eyeball to explode! Colorful liquid splashed everywhere.
But Chu Liang didn't touch it at all. His body was already spinning up, coming to the top of the monster's head, and struck a heavy punch from top to bottom! Bang!
The dull crackling sound was mixed with the crisp sound of broken bones.
Boom——
The huge body of the monster fell to the ground.
Chu Liang's figure floated down, and the whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, indescribably freehand and unrestrained.
Looking at Xu Zhiyin in front of her, she had already been splashed all over by the colorful slurry. She was in a very embarrassed state and was sitting there staring blankly at Chu Liang.
"Ah, Miss Xu, I'm sorry." Chu Liang apologized quickly.
"So you are so good at fighting?" Xu Zhenyin didn't care at all and wiped her face casually...evenly wiping the dirt that had only a few spots on her face.
Chu Liang smiled slightly and said nothing more.
In an unfamiliar environment, he didn't want to reveal too much information about himself. Otherwise, he just used his flying sword and pierced the monster through the air with one strike.
Xu Zhiyin stood up and said: "With such powerful skills, the Liehuo Gang will definitely be willing to recruit you."
With that said, he was ready to set off back to Mangbelly City.
Chu Liang pointed to the monster corpse beside him and asked, "Why don't you take this thing back and eat its meat?"
Xu Zhiyin looked at Chu Liang and was startled for a moment, wondering how this person could integrate so quickly.
She then shook her head and said: "The monsters in Shenhu Hall will definitely come to take revenge if they see them. They are very fierce. Let's leave quickly."
Chu Liang hesitated, wanting to say that it might not be a bad thing...
It's just that the situation here is still unclear, and he can't make enemies rashly, so he has to listen to Xu Zhiyin first.
On the way back to Mangbelly City, she also explained clearly to Chu Liang the division of power here.
There are three major forces in the city. To the east of the city is the Fiery Clan, which is composed of human warriors. To the south of the city is the Sun Moon Tower, which is composed of human practitioners. To the west of the city, is the Shenhu Hall, a force composed of demon clan.
Among them, the Agni Gang governs the largest number of civilians and black tree rice fields, with the largest number of people and the greatest power.
Although the practitioners are also human beings, they are smaller in number and more alienated from the masses, so the number of civilians who seek refuge with them is not as large as that of the Agni Gang.
Needless to say about the demon clan, no one has ever dared to set foot in their territory in the west of the city.
The three parties have gradually formed a certain order, but it is difficult to avoid fights.
In addition to the civilians under the jurisdiction of these three major forces, there are more ordinary people in the city who have no faction, like Xu Zhiyin's family, who are trying to survive in the cracks.
Chu Liang asked curiously: "What is the north of the city?"
"I don't know." Xu Zhiyin shook her head, with fear in her eyes, and said, "My father has told me since I was a child that the north of the city is the most terrifying place in the Mangbelly City, because that is... the territory of the city lord."
…
It was only when I got closer that I could see clearly that the walls of this so-called Python Belly City were just layers of massive black rocks, and the construction techniques were quite primitive.
It seems that there is a lack of specialized talents like the disciples of Shushan Civil Engineering Hall.
The two of them entered the city through the south gate. There were several strong human warriors guarding the gate.
Anyone who enters the city will always be exploited by them.
"Do you still have to pay tolls?" Chu Liang asked when he saw it from a distance.
"No need, those are just members of the Liehuo Gang. It's just that most of the people who went out of the city today went to take advantage of the white rain to fish for something, and they will all gain something." Xu Zhiyin explained.
But when she passed by, the human warriors did not stop her, they just smiled and asked: "Zuyin, what treasure did you catch?"
Xu Zhiyin smiled crisply and said: "Nothing, only one big living person."
Those people looked at Chu Liang and said with a smile: "The young man is quite handsome, but I don't know how many days he can live."
Chu Liang did not quarrel with them, smiled and nodded all the way into the city.
Just when he was wondering why the guards were so lenient with Xu Zhiyin, the little girl also took him back to his home, and Chu Liang understood immediately.
It turns out that Xu Zhiyin's home is a medical clinic.
"My father is one of the few doctors in Mangbelly City, so everyone respects him." Xu Zhiyin introduced.
Chu Liang nodded, no wonder.
In this hellish place, no one would offend the doctor.
As soon as I lifted the white cloth and stepped into the door of the medical clinic, I heard a heart-rending scream from behind, "Ah——"
Chu Liang couldn't help but grin, "What kind of disease is this? It's so painful."
"It was probably corroded by the black rain." Xu Zhiyin said.
"Isn't it fatal to be corroded?" Chu Liang asked.
"My father can cure it." Xu Zhiyin said proudly, "As long as the injured area is cut off in time, he will not die."
Good guy, no wonder it’s so miserable.
This sound sounds like there is no anesthetic at all, Chu Liang thought to himself.
If it's light... I can cure it too.
As soon as Xu Zhiyin asked Chu Liang to sit down, a large group of people came outside the medical center and hurried in.
They were all strong men with strong energy and blood. They looked like martial arts practitioners. However, each of them had injuries more or less on their bodies, and a few of them were heavy ones. They looked like they had just lost a battle. .
Xu Zhiyin just said that because their medical clinic is in the east of the city, it has a close relationship with the Liehuo Gang, and any injured will be sent here.
"Zhiyin, where is your father?" the leader called as soon as he came in.
"He is treating people's injuries. You have to wait a moment." Xu Zhiyin said, "Are you starting a war again?"
"It's not a formal war. The people who went out to grab things just now encountered a group of Riyuelou people. They took action without any explanation." The leader said bitterly, "The injured brother stays here for now. I'll go back and report to the deputy gang leader. Prepare for revenge! Ziyin, tell your dad to hurry up."
"Oh." The little girl sighed and replied, "I know."
It seems that although there is not a particular shortage of food here, the competition for other resources is also very fierce. Every time you go out, there may be a fight.
…
After the leader left, Xu Zhiyin settled the injured and then said to Chu Liang: "I'll go to the back to change and wash up. You can sit here for a while."
After that, she left the main hall first.
Sitting in the medical clinic, Chu Liang felt that there was no smell of herbs in his nose, but the smell of blood.
These people have actually been living here for who knows how many years, which is a bit unbelievable. However, the sky-swallowing python is rampant all over the world, and sometimes it even swallows the people of an entire small country in one bite. The size of the python belly city is not surprising.
Naturally, this place cannot really be in the belly of the Sky-Swallowing Python. Otherwise, if it turns over, everything here will be turned upside down. This place should be a world of its own, similar to the existence of a secret world. The giant mouth of the sky-swallowing python is just a passage to the outside world.
But how should I get out?
The Broken Void Jade Talisman given by Master Wen Yuan should be usable. Logically speaking, what he was facing now was not a life and death crisis, so he had not taken it out before. But keeping it here all the time is not an option, just use it once... It's really not possible to go back and ask for another one.
But it would be nice to randomly travel thousands of miles away and really be able to penetrate the body of the sky-swallowing python. But if it can't get out of this world, and it spreads to some dangerous place, such as the Xuanhai... it will be more gain than loss.
But every secret realm should have its own exit.
Then where will the exit of this world be?
It seems that I fell from the sky. Is it possible to return the same way? Or is it the mysterious territory in the north of the city?
While he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard rapid and heavy footsteps outside the door, bang bang bang bang...
As soon as his consciousness swept away, he saw a huge golden elephant emerging from a wide and dilapidated long dark street. Its huge body almost filled the entire street. A man in brocade robes sat cross-legged on the elephant's back. Dozens of practitioners following him with swords hovered in the air behind him, and they arrived outside the medical center in a blink of an eye.
"This is right here, right?" The man in brocade robes glanced lazily, murderous intent burst out in his eyes, he raised his hand and gave an order: "Kill everyone here, leave no one behind!"
Good morning.
