Chapter 142: Nanhai City

After leaving the Dragon Falling Mountains, Lu Heng saw the vast plain and another big city standing on the plain.

From time to time, they could see groups of businessmen driving on the road into the mountain.

Although it had been some time since the blockade of the road was lifted, the thoroughfare of this traffic was still busy.

Their appearance on the road didn't look abrupt.

According to Huo Feng, after leaving the Dragon Falling Mountains and all the way south, there were all flat roads and no steep mountains.

Although there are some hills and mountains along the way, they are far from the scale of the Dragon Falling Mountains.

Huo Feng looked back at the huge mountains behind him and sighed.

"I've heard in the past that the Dragon Falling Mountains is the place where an ancient dragon was buried. I thought that it was just a rumor, but now, I believe it."

Lu Heng was a little interested in the idea of Huo Feng.

"Oh? Brother Huo refers to the friend mentioned by Zhu Jiuyou?" Lu Heng asked.

When Zhu Jiuyou appeared earlier, he mentioned that he came to the Dragon Falling Mountains to commemorate his old acquaintance.

Both Huo Feng and Lu Heng had guesses.

Huo Feng nodded and said, "The old acquaintance mentioned by Elder Zhu Jiuyou must be a person from ancient times. Even if it is not a real dragon, it is probably related to the Dragon Falling Mountains."

"The most important thing is that the Dragon Falling Mountains are indeed too abrupt to appear here. On the endless southern plain, the steep mountains look too strange and unnatural."

Huo Feng said with emotion, "If the legend is true, how powerful can the flying dragon in the Dragon Falling Mountains be?! Such a huge body is really shocking."

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Brother Huo, your Tao heart has been recast this time, and your future is bound to be promising. Maybe Brother Huo can also have such power someday so you don't need to envy it."

Lu Heng's half-joking and half-serious words made Huo Feng laugh bitterly, shake his head and wave his hands repeatedly.

"Don't make fun of me, Elder Wolf God. The Yun Sect's cultivation method is easy to learn but difficult to master. The longer you cultivate, the more difficult you can go futher."

"If my cultivation base can be as strong as a Wuzhu, I will be satisfied."

Since Huo Feng said so, Lu Heng didn't continue to talk about it.

But in Lu Heng's mind, he really thought that Huo Feng could have a bright future.

However, Huo Feng's cultivation base can't be even comparable to Xiao Ai's.

But in terms of the future, this seemingly ordinary young man will become stronger than Xiao Ai and Gu Yan.

His Tao heart is already different from ordinary people's.

Vaguely, Lu Heng could sense a trace of cold sword Qi in Huo Feng's heart.

Huo Feng's reformed Tao heart seemed to imply a hint of the power of the Heavenly Thunder, but it is different from the real Heavenly Thunder.

In addition, although Huo Feng said that he didn't understand a word Lu Heng, Jiu Mie, and Zhu Jiuyou said before.

But in fact, the cold sword Qi in his heart had become more concise after that.

It was just that Huo Feng couldn't feel it at present.

Only when he recovered his body's wounds in the future could he be aware of his own uniqueness.

However, he may have been separated from Lu Heng at that time.

So Lu Heng didn't say anything.

Smiling and shaking his head, Lu Heng sat on the white wolf's back, closed his eyes, and continued to cultivate.

Because it was too early, they didn't need to rest in the city. They passed the city outside the mountain and continued to venture south.

After arriving at the southern plain, not only the land became low, but also the wild animals were much less.

However, the decrease in wild animals doesn't mean that the wild is safe.

On the southern plain with a well-developed water system, fierce water-type animals may emerge from every river, every stream, and even the seemingly ordinary shallow ditches along the road.

Seeing all kinds of strange animals and fish in the water truly widened Lu Heng's eyesight.

And the waterways on the plain were fragmented. Although there were many small rivers and streams, there were no vast and deep rivers like the Pangjiang River, nor a river god like Gu Zhou.

Because there was no water god, wild animals and strange fish were attacking living creatures with impunity.

Even a cultivator like Xiao Ai, who had a good cultivation base, would be attacked if she was not careful.

It was the sixth day after they left the Dragon Falling Mountains. When they camped at night, Xiao Ai saw a translucent luminous fish in the stream not far away, and she was curious to take a look.

However, when the little girl walked to the stream and lowered her head, the shiny fish, which was originally only about the size of a palm, suddenly opened its mouth. Its mouth expanded to a diameter of one meter and swallowed Xiao Ai whole.

After Xiao Ai was swallowed into the fish's belly, the palm sized swimming fish returned to normal size.

When Lu Heng and the others ran to check, they saw a little girl, whose body had shrunken many times over, in the translucent fish's belly.

Facing the strange fish that swallowed her, the little girl didn't say anything, but directly raised her right hand, and the sharp fingertips popped out

Finally, Xiao Ai came out from the fish belly, half wet, looking slightly embarrassed, but her body size quickly returned to normal.

Lu Heng kept laughing at that scene.

Huo Feng wanted to laugh too, but he didn't dare to smile when he was stared at by the little girl's cold eyes.

Since then, the water monsters on their way suffered a lot.

Once these water monsters came any closer to Lu Heng, the little girl would brazenly kill them instead of driving them away.

She killed many fierce beasts along the way.

One of them was a strong monster who was wanted in Nanhai City for killing many business travelers.

Huo Feng couldn't help scratching his neck.

Fortunately, he didn't laugh out that day, otherwise

Finally, in such a tumultuous and noisy way, Lu Heng's small team finally crossed the long southern plain and arrived at the southernmost city of the Fire Pass Country before the heavy snow fell.

Nanhai City.

This is the busiest port going south to the sea, and also an important place for the Fire Pass Country to open markets and trade with other countries in the South Sea.

When Lu Heng's small team entered Nanhai City, they saw a completely different scene from in the north.

People of different races walk in the market. Xiao Ai, a little girl with silver hair and beastly ears, doesn't seem to be out of place among them.

Because in this hustling and bustling Nanhai City, there are many strange people who look far stranger than Xiao Ai.

A man with fish fins

A beautiful woman with a weak and pale fish body

A feathered man with wings on his back

A man who is black and ape-like but can breathe fire

A man with wings on his back and a beak on his face

A man with three heads

Lu Heng was amazed by all kinds of strange people in Nanhai City.

There are so many different kinds of people who can only be seen in some fantasy movies in his previous life.

In this Nanhai City, there are strange people everywhere. In this place, Lu Heng has a real sense that he is in another world.

Although there were many strange animals seen in the north before, the cities of human beings looked very ordinary.

Now in Nanhai City, Lu Heng realized that there were so many different people in the world.

He could not help but sigh. If Sun Yan came to Nanhai City, when he saw these strange people, he would go crazy with excitement.

However, the White Ape was still cultivating on Hanyu Mountain. It may be a long time before he has enough strength to go down the mountain.

After all, Sun Yan, who is too lazy to cultivate and only wants to play every day, looks really ordinary in Lu Heng's eyes.
