But I'm a male fox

at the same time.

kilometers away.

Wang Ce and others, whom Li Cheng was thinking of, were wandering in a quiet and narrow alley.

Naturally, they would also be attacked by the patrolling soldiers with vertical pupils. Since they did not have such strong concealment skills as Li Cheng, they took the next best thing and gave up the road and took the trail instead.

As the saying goes, if you can't be provoked, you can still hide. In this small alley like a pig's intestines, there are basically few patrolling people.

But that doesn't mean there's no danger here...

"Master Wang, how long do we have to drive?"

"It's coming soon, don't ask too much."

"Good, good..."

Hearing Wang Ce's answer, the middle-aged Jusha Gang shrunk their necks and looked at each other with several other companions.

Originally, according to the agreement, they were only responsible for leading the way to the stone lion, and they didn't need to enter the secret realm.

However, when the mysterious person surnamed Li opened the mouth of the stone lion, their mortal bodies couldn't resist the suction of the vortex, so they were sucked in.

And after they came in, the Wang family brothers obviously didn't want to let these gang members out easily, they had no choice but to follow them all the time.

The further they walked, the more frightened they became.

There are ghosts and ghosts all over the streets in this place, how can people stay there!

Even after going out, people will shorten their lifespan, right?

"Can't go on..."

A young man said to his friend: "The people of the Wang family are superior and won't care about our life or death. They are afraid they want to take us as a scapegoat. We have to run away!"

"But where should we go?"

"Wait a while when there is a corner, let's turn around and run back the same way! Anyway, as long as we avoid the patrols on the street, we'll be fine! After leaving the city, let's look for the mechanism to open the secret realm... "

"Listen to you."

After discussing the plan, when several middle and third ranks turned their backs, the young gang members acted decisively.

The accomplice was a little slower, but followed closely behind.

He turned his head while running, and was overjoyed to see that Wang Ce and others did not catch up, thinking that he had escaped.

However, in the next second, dozens of dry, slender hands that were not human-shaped suddenly protruded from the walls on both sides, and they firmly grasped his whole body.

"what!"

His screams frightened his companions to stop immediately, and also made Wang Ce and others in front turn around.

Feeling the growing strength of the grasping hand, the young gang members yelled at Wang Ce and others in fear: "Help! Please help me! I will never run away again!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Ce just shook his head with a smile, and said softly, "Thank you for finding a trap for us."

After all, he turned and left directly, as if he felt that this person was not worth a second look.

Soon, those ghost hands on the wall spun with all their strength. Amidst the screams of the young gang members, it was like wringing out a rag, breaking off his head, neck and limbs, and even the blood in his internal organs was squeezed out. Screw people to death.

Seeing this tragic image, the remaining members of the gang trembled.

Wang Zhen took the opportunity to threaten: "If you don't obey me again, I will end up with him."

There are living examples in front of you, how can the gang of giant shark gang have the guts to defy them?

The team settled down completely.

At this time, Ao Rong, the Dragon Prince, was leading the way.

After a while, they came to the north of the city.

There is also a city wall here, which divides the city into two layers, inside and outside. Looking over the top of the wall, one can vaguely see the roof of the palace behind it.

However, at the door of this wall, dozens of soldiers stood.

Among them are three young generals, whose upper body is human and lower body is snake, wearing heavy armor, holding a long halberd, exuding a sixth-rank aura.

Ao Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, not wanting to conflict with these ghost soldiers, and said in a low voice: "We can't get through here, we have to make a detour."

After speaking, he took out an old map, compared it for a while, and led the team to divert to the east.

Anyway, their final destination is the hill in the north of the city, so it doesn't matter how they go around, as long as they arrive at the end.

Of course, if there are too many detours, it will inevitably waste some time.

And Li Cheng and Duguzhi took the opportunity to catch up...

About two quarters of an hour after the Wang family brothers left, the carriage carrying one fox and one dragon also arrived at the gate of the inner wall.

Just like Ao Rong, Li Cheng didn't want to fight recklessly looking at the group of guards who were not easy to mess with.

But apart from this very obvious inner city, he really didn't know where to go for a while - the secret area was not small, and he didn't have a map, so he couldn't imagine where Wang Ce's goal was and how they would detour.

He just thought, the brothers of the Wang family can't be free and go to the fly restaurant on the corner of the street to eat dead food, right?

With this in mind, Li Cheng still decided to enter the inner city to explore.

He steered the carriage and marched around the city wall, hoping to find a place with empty defenses and slip in through the wall.

But when he was halfway there, he bumped into a large group of patrolling soldiers, including a leader who was half-human and half-snake. His pupils rolled and he stared at the carriage.

broken.

Li Cheng secretly thought that it was not good, and quickly steered the carriage to turn, only to find that he was surrounded.

He winked at Duguzhi.

The fox and the dragon girl immediately made preparations, and after they wanted to kill them, they would find another place to hide.

However......

The half-human, half-snake leader had just lifted the curtain of the car when he suddenly froze, and then retreated two feet away, just dodging Li Cheng's sword.

Li Cheng just wanted to pursue him, but Zeng Xiang fell to his knees on the ground.

Not only that, the rest of the ghost soldiers also knelt down when they saw this.

This stunned Li Cheng.

Why did he want to kill someone just now but kneel down now?I didn't give you any red envelopes either!

Could it be that it is because I have awakened the aura of dominance?

Dugu Zhi stepped forward and lightly poked a certain soldier on the head, seeing that the other didn't respond, she said, "Sir, they seem to be really moving..."

Li Cheng also tried to touch the leading snake man, but the latter didn't blink his eyes, still kept his kneeling posture and didn't speak, his whole body seemed to be petrified.

At this moment, Li Cheng even had the urge to draw bastards on his face...

"It's easy to handle now. By the way, if these ghosts are like this, will the city gate also..."

Li Cheng rolled his eyes and waved at Xiao Longnv. The two took out their weapons and walked quietly towards the city gate.

really.

When they approached, the guarding soldiers also froze, led by the general, and knelt down one after another, motionless, exactly the same as the group of soldiers they met before.

Tsk tsk, it's weird.

The business was important, so Li Cheng resisted his curiosity and easily passed through the city gate.

Behind the gate is a small palace complex, which is probably a miniature version of the Forbidden City.

As soon as Li Cheng took two steps, he saw a wall carved with reliefs out of the corner of his eye, and his jaw dropped in shock.

"Azhi, look!"

"Yeah, this is..."

But on that wall, a majestic nine-headed giant snake tens of meters high was engraved in the center of the altar, enjoying the worship of thousands of people around it.

The reliefs on the side are also similar in content. Basically, the huge hydra has performed a certain feat and is admired by others.

Considering those half-human, half-snake generals...

Obviously, this city in the secret territory should be inseparable from the ancient Hydra.

"So, the reason why they bow down to us is not because their heads are down, but because..."

Li Cheng said, looking at Duguzhi.

My wife still has half the blood of Hydra.

Xiao Longnv was surprised at first, and then beamed with joy.

Since she was a child, she knew that she was half a Hydra. However, due to the rarity of the same species, she knew almost nothing about this race.

Now, she is thrilled to have the opportunity to learn about her biological father.

"Sanggong, tell me, could my father also come from here?"

"Ah, that's unlikely..."

Li Cheng scratched his head and thought to himself, no matter how wasteful he is, he will not allow a city that worships monsters to appear in the prosperous southeast.

In view of this, he felt that the history of this city should be quite old, at least dating back to the previous dynasty or even the former dynasty, the era when the Central Plains people had not yet developed the western Zhejiang and Jiangdong provinces on a large scale.

Then there is a high probability that before the founding of the previous dynasty, the city was destroyed due to certain things, and it became the secret place it is today.

"Well...it doesn't matter~"

Li Cheng's reasoning didn't dampen Duguzhi's excitement at all, she turned around and grabbed the little fox, and walked eagerly to the first palace.

Then, they saw that on the ground in the center of the hall, there was a large mirror spread out on the ground, and there were shadows in the mirror, as if someone was moving.

"Wait, this is a real-time map!"

Chapter 270

The mirror is a bird's-eye view.

Li Cheng could see the entire inner city and outer city, as well as a small hill on the north side of the city.

He got down on his body, inspected it carefully, and unexpectedly found that the mirror also had the function of zooming in with three fingers, and now he could even see the eyelashes of passers-by on the street clearly.

Soon, he found the Wang brothers and his party in the alley.

"Are they going to the north of the city?"

Li Cheng glanced at the small hill to the north, guessing that it might be a tomb or something.

But no matter what is there, since the opponent's destination has been exposed, it will be convenient for him to deal with it.

"Mostly, they had to take a long detour because they couldn't get into the inner city. If we go straight through the inner city, we should be able to reach the north of the city one step ahead of them."

After Li Cheng finished speaking, he saw Dugu Zhi standing aside in a daze, staring straight at the evil man in the mirror.

"Azhi?"

"This person... I know him. He... is the second prince of the Dragon King, Ao Rong."

After Dugu Zhi finished speaking slowly, she bit her lips lightly with her white teeth, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.

In other words, this person is Ah Zhi's uncle?

Seeing that Xiaolongnv's face was not right, Li Cheng asked softly, "Did he do anything to you?"

"At the beginning...he was ordered by the Dragon King to break into my adoptive parents' house and start killing..."

Duguzhi's mind recalled the image of this evil dragon killing her family when she was young, and she couldn't help shaking.

She took a deep breath and kept telling herself in her heart that this time was different.

This time...

I am no longer a young dragon who can only escape, but a fifth-rank monk who can resist!

Seeing this, Li Cheng immediately hugged Xiao Longnv in his arms, and comforted him, "It's okay, I'm here... Let's settle the old and new grudges together today!"

"Um......"

After confirming the enemy, one fox and one dragon were more motivated, and without further delay, they went straight through the palace and went to the north of the city.

But when passing by a side hall, Dugu Zhi's heart moved, and she was attracted by something on a desk...
