"Boss, we are almost at the border of the Southern Fire Empire, how do we go next? My dad is really serious, saying that riding a horse is not safe, or if we get a few horses from home, maybe we will all enter the Middle-earth Empire now It's in the territory." Bisu said with some complaints.
After sitting in the carriage for three full days, the three of them finally arrived at Xinghuo City, a border city of the Southern Fire Empire, and decided to stay here for a night to recuperate before continuing their journey.
The Southern Fire Empire is at the southernmost point of the Five Elements Continent, bordering the Xijin Empire, the Middle Earth Empire, and the East Wood Empire respectively. They need to cross the border when they start from Starfire City, so they have to walk by themselves. Ji Dong is sitting in the hotel room at this time Spread out the map on the bed to study the specific route.
Ji Dong pointed to the map in his hand and showed it to Karl and Bi Su, "Look, Lihuo City is located in the west of the Southern Fire Empire, and we took the shortest road to the border. This Xinghuo City itself is also a border city on the west side of the Southern Fire Empire. From here we now have two options, one is to go east, bypassing the Fengshuang Mountains spanning the three empires of Xijin, Zhongtu and Nanhuo, passing through Bingrong City in the middle of the border of the Nanhuo Empire, and entering the Middle-earth Empire Within the territory. Continue northwards and arrive at Zhongyuan City. This road is relatively easy to walk, and it is all official roads. But we have to walk at least five hundred miles. The Fengshuang Mountains are the second largest mountain range in the mainland, with a horizontal direction of nearly a thousand miles. If we want to It must be very tight to bypass it and then enter the Middle Earth Empire to reach the Central Plains City within seven days. The other road is to go northeast directly from Starfire City, directly through the Wind and Frost Mountains, and enter the territory of the Middle Earth Empire. Although the Wind and Frost Mountains are horizontal It's very long, but it's only less than a hundred miles vertically. In this way, we should be able to save a lot of time. It's just that the road will be much more difficult. If we encounter a monster, it may be dangerous. Which road do you think we take is better? good?"
Carl said without hesitation: "Let's go directly to the Wind and Frost Mountains, so that we can save at least two days. Moreover, when Mr. Xia told us about continental geography, didn't he say that the Wind and Frost Mountains belong to the area where monsters are rare, and few There are monsters, even if there are, they are just some low-level monsters. We should be able to deal with them. Before condensing the Yin-Yang Crown, Teacher Xia taught me some basic skills, although they are not very powerful, but the magic power is enough to assist me. "
Bi Su snorted and said, "Are you the only one who knows? Teacher Qiu taught me the same."
Although Xia Tian also planned to teach Ji Dong, neither he nor Qiu knew how to teach Ji Dong. After all, none of them had ever seen a magician with dual attributes of yin and yang, and Yang Bingtian directly rejected their teaching Ji Dong. The plan to move magic skills, and tell them that Tiangan Academy is the most suitable place for Ji Dong to study. Magic skills cannot be cultivated casually. If you practice magic skills that are not suitable for you, it will be harmful to your own cultivation.
Hearing what they said, Ji Dong immediately felt relieved, "I know a few basic skills, so it's settled. We will purchase some necessary supplies tomorrow morning and set off to cross the Fengshuang Mountains. It's getting late, you guys Go back to your room and rest."
Ji Dong also has his plans. Just like Carl said, the chance of monsters appearing in the Fengshuang Mountains is very small, and they are all Yin-Yang magicians, which can reduce the time on the road. Moreover, he has been in a trance for the past few days, and his mind is restless, so he didn't think much about it.
The three of them opened two rooms in the hotel. Ji Dong used the reason that he was not used to living with other people, so he lived in one alone, and Karl and Bi Su shared one. He did this, of course, to be able to mix wine for Lie Yan. Although he has been on the road for three days, he never stopped the work that lasted for four years.
Carl and Bi Su went back to the room to rest, and Ji Dong immediately took out the bartending utensils from the storage bracelet, carefully made a cocktail, and called Lie Yan's name.
The lake in the center of the earth is still so hot. Ever since Lie Yan created the platform in the magma, every time Ji Dong initiates a teleportation, it will directly appear in the center of the platform.
The red light was flashing, and Ji Dong was down-to-earth, but he didn't bother to feel the strong fire element around him. He looked around quickly, but he couldn't find Lie Yan.
"Lie Yan, are you there?" He shouted loudly, but didn't get any response.
It's been three days. Since he woke up from the coma that day, he hasn't seen Lie Yan's face again. In the past few days, after the bartending is delivered every day, he will be directly teleported back to the ground. Lie Yan (raging flames) never appeared, not even a sound came. But he was excited to feel her presence. If she wasn't there, how could he complete the teleportation process
But why didn't Lie Yan see me? Coming with hope, Ji Dong's heart was filled with disappointment again, the wine glass in his hand broke free and flew towards the depths of the earth's core lake, and the light of the red lotus had wrapped his body, bringing him back to life. Teleported back to the hotel room.
It wasn't until Ji Dong's figure completely disappeared that Lie Yan's perfect figure slowly emerged on the huge rock, holding a wine glass, tasting the wine in a somewhat lonely way, her expression was surprisingly similar to Ji Dong's, the originally bright There was a faint gleam in his eyes. It seems to be thinking about something.
Gently shaking his head, Lie Yan said to himself: "Don't think about it anymore, he is just a human being after all. Whether it's family or friendship, after being with him for a long time, this inseparable feeling must be It will be unbearable. If he dies in the human world, wouldn’t I have to feel that extreme pain again? Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. It’s better not to see him. It’s a good thing for him and me Ji Dong, I'm sorry, gradually, you will definitely forget me. I wish you can cultivate stronger and stronger."
Back in the hotel room, although Ji Dong was a little tired from the three-day journey, he couldn't sleep for a long time. As soon as he closed his eyes, Lie Yan's charming face would come to mind. He would rather Lie Yan sternly reprimand him than someone who cannot see her or hear her voice. These days, he seems to have lost his soul. After four years of uninterrupted hard work in cultivation, it seems that he is not interested in it now.
In the early morning of the next day, the three of Ji Dong purchased a large amount of food and drinking water in Xinghuo City, and put them into the storage bracelets and storage rings of Ji Dong and Bi Su. With these two treasures, their journey will be much easier.
