Chapter 468 Entering the City
In the jungle, in a huge valley.
Discarding an elk with dried flesh and blood in his hand on the ground, and looking at the four or five elk carcasses lying on the ground nearby, Jiang Yao took a deep breath.
As soon as he thought, the pair of fangs in his mouth gradually disappeared, and the pair of huge bone wings on his shoulders also began to shrink until they completely disappeared.
In the past, every time he returned from his corpse form to an ordinary human body, he was always skinny and very hungry, as if he was reincarnated as a starving ghost.
But this time, after finding the group of elk in the forest and sucking them one by one, Jiang Yao changed his form into an ordinary person. Except for his slightly pale complexion, he was full of energy and full of flesh and blood. How much hunger.
“It turns out that this is how the corpse transformation form is used!”
“On the light screen panel, only the progress of the corpse transformation is displayed, but there is no introduction related to it.”
"If I had known that sucking the blood and essence of living beings could eliminate the side effects of corpse transformation, I could have raised a group of pigs in my villa. How could I be like before, every time I transformed into a corpse, I would be in such a miserable state? , I didn’t dare to see anyone for several days.”
“It’s just a pity that the upper limit of my life span is still thirty-four on the light curtain panel.”
"The lifespan consumed after using the flying corpse form seems to be impossible to make up at all!"
...
Waving his arm, Jiang Yao sensed his current state.
When he felt that his whole body couldn't get any better, his attention fell on his light screen panel again.
Deer blood is a great tonic. Several elk were sucked by him until their flesh and blood dried up. Although it restored his condition, he felt a little regretful when he saw that his life span was not restored.
As for Ru Mao drinking blood and so on, Jiang Yao didn't have much psychological burden.
After all, in the real world, there are many people who like things like drunken shrimp or sashimi. Doesn’t that mean they are also eating raw meat?
The few elk Jiang Yao caught were a bit bigger, so he ate them raw, which was nothing unusual.
“In the past, after releasing my corpse form, I would be weak for several days.”
“Now, after consuming a little blood food, I have completely recovered from my condition. What else am I dissatisfied with?”
"What does it mean to have a weak heart and a snake swallows an elephant? I am obviously one!"
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yao gradually calmed down.
There is never a free lunch in the world. In his corpse transformation form, his strength will be enhanced at least several times.
It would be really strange if such a powerful secret technique could be used without any hidden dangers and without any restrictions.
In this valley, Jiang Yao did not stay long.
His figure was like lightning, flying out of the valley, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Three days later, Black Rock City.
The towering city wall, which is nearly ten feet high, looks so tall and majestic even from a distance.
Unless ordinary warriors can soar into the sky, no matter how strong they are, it will be difficult for them to cross this wall silently.
At the gate of the west city, there was a lot of traffic, mixed with a certain caravan. Jiang Yao looked up at the huge city wall that was close at hand.
Even like him, he was still shocked. He could not imagine how such a majestic and vast city wall could be built with human power.
After all, using the measurement unit in the real world, ten feet is equivalent to more than thirty meters, and the height is equivalent to more than ten floors.
In that world, the Great Wall, with an average height of only 7.8 meters, has been called a miracle of the world.
Without any mechanical assistance, the city wall can be built to more than 30 meters. If this towering city wall in Black Rock City is placed in the real world, many people's eyes will be shocked.
"Brother Jiang, is this your first time coming to our Black Rock City?"
"Compared with those villages and towns in the wilderness, only when you come to Black Rock City can you see a broader landscape. "The sky."
"I don't know, what are your plans after entering the city?"
Looking at Jiang Yao, who was a little shocked, there was a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a smart outfit next to him. The young man smiled and asked.
This person's surname is Zhang, and his name is Zhang Changfu. He is one of the worshipers of the Fang family in Black Rock City and has the strength of the Zang Refining Realm.
In the wilderness, his Fang family caravan was attacked by horse bandits. Fortunately, they met Jiang Yao, so they could avoid losses and easily repel the group of horse bandits.
Otherwise, even if the Fang family caravan can finally win, heavy casualties on their side will definitely be inevitable.
“After entering the city, I must find a place to stay first.”
“As for the plan, I haven’t thought about it yet, just take it step by step!”
"Brother Zhang suddenly asked me this question, why, do you have a good place to go?"
Shrugging, Jiang Yao smiled and responded.
After leaving the mountains and forests, he went back to Xujia Town.
Nearly all the warriors in the Xu family who originally controlled this place died at the hands of Jiang Yao that day.
Although many Xu family members survived, they lacked strength and could no longer control this territory. Today, Xujia Town has become Heifeng Town and was conquered by another group of unknown warriors. occupy.
Unless others take the initiative to provoke him, under normal circumstances, Jiang Yao would not take the initiative to cause trouble.
After strolling around Xujia Town, he left without staying any longer.
On his way to Black Rock City, when he passed by the area near Blood Knife Village, he also took a few glances there.
The Blood Knife Village, which was originally quite large, has now become a ruin.
In the real world, Jiang Yao only stayed for less than a year. In the foreign world, he disappeared for about a month and did not leave for too long.
The scene in which the special envoy of Tianwangzhai died in his hands is still vivid in his mind.
Considering the conflict between himself and Tianwang Village, Jiang Yao was careful to avoid drawing attention to himself when passing through their territory.
The Perfect Level Breath Condensation Technique can already restrain the breath and reduce the sense of one's own presence. Coupled with his strength in the blood exchange realm, this journey has been uneventful and safe.
Seeing the Fang family's caravan being attacked, he, who had never liked to meddle in other people's business, hesitated for a moment and finally helped them.
After all, walking alone in the wild is a bit conspicuous, blending in with the caravan, and entering Black Rock City together. It is not easy to attract others' attention, which is more in line with his low-key temperament.
"My Fang family is not a top wealthy family in Black Rock City, but the head of the family, Fang Xiong, is loyal, benevolent, and talented."
"This is the first time you step into our Black Rock City. Brother Jiang, you are not familiar with the place. , I think you can go and meet our family head first.”
“With your talent and strength, if you are willing to join our Fang family, I believe that the family head will definitely treat you with the best treatment. "
"Having the Fang family as a backer can help you gain a foothold in Black Rock City faster."
"If one day you feel that the Fang family is not suitable for you, In order to find a better place, I believe that with the benevolence and righteousness of the family master, I will not force you to stay!”
...
Good words, Zhang Changfu suggested.
Fang Xiong, the head of the Fang family, has already been praised by him.
Jiang Yao was noncommittal about this. After all, he has always been willing to wander around alone rather than live under someone else's roof.
However, when others greeted them with smiles, he didn't like to show off directly. He shrugged and asked with a smile: "What is the strength of the strongest person in the Fang family?"
Hearing his question , Zhang Changfu quickly took over and responded: "The strongest person in the Fang family must be the head of the family, Fang Xiong."
"Although I have never seen him take action personally, but according to people, the Fang family's suppressor The family’s martial art, Lieyang Jin, has been cultivated to the highest level.”
“The innate realm is the upper limit of Lieyang Jin, but it is not the limit of the family master.”
“With him. With his qualifications and talents, if he has heaven-level skills, it is not impossible for him to step into the legendary heavenly realm.”
"It's best to enjoy the shade under a big tree. The stronger the family leader is, the more benefits we will get as worshipers."
"Brother Jiang, you have already stepped into the blood exchange and joined our Fang family at a young age. , if it can be appreciated by the head of the family and valued by him, with his generosity..."
At this point, his words have been directly interrupted by Jiang Yao.
If within the Fang family, there is a heaven-level skill that can allow people to step into the realm of heaven and humans, Jiang Yao might be a little interested.
But now, judging from Zhang Changfu's words, the upper limit of the Fang family's clan-suppressing technique, Lie Yang Jin, is only innate, which is at the same level as the Manghuang Dragon Fist.
Joining such a family is not attractive at all to Jiang Yao.
With a calm expression, he laughed twice: "Brother Zhang, among the top forces in Black Rock City, are there any Celestial-level warriors?"
My words were forced. After the interruption, Zhang Changfu, who had always had a friendly smile on his face, became obviously uncomfortable after hearing Jiang Yao's words.
After looking Jiang Yao up and down a few times, he responded with a profound meaning: "Everyone in the world is an ant. This is a saying that our family leader often talks about."
"Whether it is refining the internal organs or exchanging blood, for an innate strong person like the family leader, they are all existences that can be wiped out easily. There is not much difference between the two."
"Celestial level? There must be some in Black Rock City, but for bosses of this level, only after they achieve innate status can they get relevant information."
"What about them? I am qualified to know with my little training."
Looking away from Jiang Yao, Zhang Changfu looked strange and sighed.
After just a slight pause, he spoke earnestly and continued: "Brother Jiang, although you are good in strength, you can't be too ambitious as a person."
"After all, you are just It’s just a blood exchange. For you, the top priority now is to find a way to enter Xiantian first.”
"Generally speaking, individual warriors like you who live outside the city will definitely have uneven inheritance. If you can obtain a martial arts technique that can be directly used for blood exchange, it is already your luck."
"Stepping from the realm of blood exchange to innateness is a huge threshold. I don't know how many people are restricted by the practice. Throughout their lives, they are not allowed to enter, and they can only linger outside the door."
"The great minister of our Fang family was originally an idle warrior like you. He has extraordinary qualifications. He has only served the Fang family for eight years, and his loyalty has already been recognized by the family head."
“After marrying a daughter of the Fang family and marrying into the Fang family, the head of the family gave him the qualification to practice Lieyang Jin. Now, in just the past three years, he has successfully made a breakthrough and stepped into Xiantian.”
< br>“Now, his status in the Fang family is second only to the head of the family and a few elders.”
"In the eyes of us and other worshipers, this person should be regarded as a role model for our generation."
"Brother Jiang, at your age, you can step into the realm of blood exchange. In terms of qualifications, compared to The Great Offering is as strong as it comes. "
"As long as you are willing to join our Fang family and offer your loyalty, a great opportunity to step into the innate world is already in front of you. "
“Although there are some controllers of other forces in Black Rock City who are more powerful than our family leader, none of them can be found as benevolent and righteous as him.”
“I Don’t believe what I said. If you stay in Black Rock City for a while and inquire about it, you will naturally know that what I say is true.”
...
These words of advice from Zhang Changfu fell into Jiang Yao’s ears.
As if he hadn't heard anything, he looked indifferent and never received any response.
The Fang family caravan he was in had already passed through the West City Gate and entered Black Rock City at this time.
In addition to paying the city entry tax, ordinary people entering and exiting the city gate are also subject to very strict interrogation.
However, here at the Fang family caravan, only a steward came forward to say hello to the leaders of the guards at the door. Without even a simple search, the group entered the city smoothly.
I don’t know if the Fang family is too proud or if the guards are neglecting their duties.
But all this has nothing to do with Jiang Yao.
After all, he has never been interested in taking care of things that have nothing to do with him.
After leaving the mountains and forests, the main reason why he came all the way to Black Rock City was because it was easier to buy various resources related to cultivation in the city.
"I'm sorry, Brother Zhang, I'm used to being free and I can't stand the slightest restraint."
"Joining the Fang family as a worshipper may be a good choice for ordinary warriors. "
"But others are others, I am me."
"We have already entered the city, let's just live together."
"Someday. , I can no longer survive in the city, maybe I will really consider whether to join a certain force!”
...
Stepping on the flat bluestone ground, following the road connected to the city gate that was large enough for four or five carriages to travel side by side, after walking for a few miles, Jiang Yao paused at his feet. , stopped in his tracks.
After being silent for a long time, he cupped his fist at Zhang Changfu and said.
“Good words and good words are enough to make me lose my temper.”
“Forget it, there are some things you can’t force yourself to do. Since you insist on leaving and don’t want to join our Fang family, Okay, whatever you want, I just hope you don’t regret it in the future.”
"But before you leave, I still have to kindly remind you."
"Some things, after passing this village, there is no such store."
"Where do you really want it? If you can't survive in Black Rock City, if you want to join our Fang family, you won't be favored by the family leader without saying anything, but the chances will definitely not be too high."
"That's it, brother Jiang, you. You can take care of yourself!"
After stopping for a moment, Zhang Changfu looked directly at Jiang Yao in front of him. He took a deep breath and said with a serious look on his face.
As for the Fang family caravan he was in, they were still moving forward and did not stop because of him alone.
After all, although he has some strength, he is just a worshiper and is not the real person in charge of the caravan.
They have all entered Black Rock City. In broad daylight, in full view of everyone, it is impossible for anyone to blatantly target their caravan.
As the person responsible for the force, Zhang Changfu, a minister in the Refining Zang Realm, is no longer that important to today’s caravans.
“Don’t worry, Brother Zhang, I made my own decision, no matter what the final consequences, I am willing to accept it.”
"The mountains are high and the roads are far, we are destined to meet again!"
After giving Zhang Changfu a fist and a salute, Jiang Yao turned around and walked towards an inn not far away.
