The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 228
Chapter 228 Heavenly Rock Town
In the Eastern Military Region, the flames of war outside Shanghai had already been ignited, but Yi Fan would not know about it now.
Yifan’s team was still on their way back to Heavenly Rock Town. It was estimated that they would arrive at Heavenly Rock Town by tomorrow morning at the latest.
However, what Yifan did not know was that at the same time as the flames of war in the east were ignited, two guests from the north were also welcomed to Heavenly Rock Town.
Outside Heavenly Rock Town, beside Dongmen Bridge.
The original asphalt road concrete pavement ended here. In front of him was a small town with a mountain on its back.
Lin Xu and Tan Yong were at one end of a bridge. Beneath the bridge was a large river. The river was swift but incomparably clear. From afar, there seemed to be a natural waterfall.
When they first entered this place, they felt that the air was much fresher. Both of them were extremely shocked. After they approached this small town 20 kilometers away, they had not found a single zombie nor a single human.
Along the way, it was unusually calm. At the end of this asphalt road, there was actually a small town that looked like a paradise.
As soon as the two of them got off the car, they discovered that there were three more people across the bridge. The middle man was about 1.75 meters tall. He had wheat-colored skin, a large bow on his back, and a long sword hanging from his waist. He was quite capable, and his sharp eyes swept past the two of them.
Lin Xu and Tan Yong felt as if sharp swords were piercing through their bodies. Their muscles suddenly tightened and their hearts lit up. This person was definitely not inferior to his two masters.
Beside this capable man with sharp eyes, there was one person standing on each side. The one on the left was probably 1.9 meters tall, as strong as an ox, and his skin was slightly dark.
Behind him was a two-meter long giant snake spear. Standing there steadily, it gave off a sense of self-prestige without anger.
The man in his right hand was a fair-faced, round-faced boy. He was only 1.65 meters tall and had a long sword hanging from his waist. He stood there steadily. He was as calm as water, but he also contained a sharp light. It was as if he would stab them with a fatal sword at any moment.
The auras of the three of them all carried sharp auras unique to the metal element, yet they gave off three different senses, causing Lin Xu and Tan Yong to be shocked in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, three experts who were no weaker than them appeared in a small town with its back against a mountain.
If these three were the subordinates of that Rock King, Zhu Yifan, then this so-called Rock King would probably be an extremely extraordinary character.
The three people in front of Lin Xu were naturally Zhou Xin, Qiangzi, Wang Yang, and the others. In fact, Zhou Xin had already discovered their cars.
Ji Ruoxue had already discussed it with him. Ji Ruoxue’s opinion was to contact him first and see where he came from.
In Zhou Xin’s eyes, the two of them were wearing military uniforms, carrying backpacks and cold weapons behind them.
Their auras were all Tier 4. One Earth, One Fire. The one with the spear on his back was a Fire Element, and the one with the axe on his back was an Earth Element. Clearly, they were all experts who were used to cold weapons.
Zhou Xin went straight to the point, “Friends across the street, I don’t know where you came from, but what’s the purpose of coming here?”
‘”Haha, we’re from the Northeast. I heard that the Rock King has set up a gathering place here. Let’s take a look.” Lin Xu said straightforwardly.
Zhou Xin’s heart skipped a beat. He instantly understood that this so-called’coming from the northeast ‘was very likely from the Eastern Military Region or the Northern Military Region.
Not to mention the fact that the two of them were both wearing military uniforms, with their strength at the fourth rank, Zhou Xin was immediately reminded of the military.
Right now, it wasn’t that easy to think of Tier 4. Other than the military, there shouldn’t be a Tier 4 presence in other small bases.
As for the matter of Brother Fan establishing a base, it was obvious that it was nonsense. Their purpose was to find out the truth.
Or perhaps, for the sake of martial arts, let’s first look at their attitudes. Zhou Xin already had a good idea.
Zhou Xin said calmly, “Is that so? Well, Brother Fan also belongs to the military. Since he is one of our own, then state your real names. Unidentified people will not be able to cross this bridge.”
Zhou Xin’s arrogant attitude made Lin Xu a little unhappy. He thought to himself, I, the son of the Lin family of the eight great generals of the Northern Military Region, have come to a remote town like yours and yet I still want to register my name. This bastard is bullying someone, isn’t he?
Lin Xu was still a little displeased. He didn’t say anything, because he clearly knew the current situation.
However, Tan Yong, who was beside him, did not think so. Originally, he was the tyrannical master of the Tan Clan, but now that he had arrived at the remote mountain village, he was actually underestimated by the other party.
The frustration and anger in his heart could be imagined. He shouted angrily, “Am I going to such a f*cking big place? There are still so many rules. This daddy is going in!” As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed over.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
He took a step forward and three streaks of golden light shot towards him. Their speed was as fast as three beams of golden light. Two of them shot straight into Tan Yong’s eyes and the other shot between his eyebrows.
Tan Yong reacted quickly. He raised his hand and picked up the two axes on his waist, quickly blocking his head.
Ding ding ding!
Three soft sounds rang out, and the golden light was dazzling. The three arrows exploded, then dissipated into thin air.
These arrows weren’t real arrows. They were only metal elemental arrows that Zhou Xin had condensed using metallic dark energy.
The arrow exploded, but the force on it allowed the axe to make an intimate contact with Tan Yong’s face.
“Bang …!”
Fortunately, the strength in Tan Yong’s hand wasn’t small. The axe only hurt his nose, and it wasn’t a big problem.
He was even angrier as he spread out his axe and was about to charge forward.
A gigantic snake spear had already descended from the sky, but it was Qiangzi, who was already on the bridge. As he stepped forward, he grabbed the tail of the snake spear, which was more than four meters long, and violently smashed it towards him.
‘”Bang…”
Tan Yong crossed his axes and held the snake spear. However, it was not easy. He could not withstand Qiangzi’s tremendous strength and was caught off guard. He immediately half-knelt on the ground and a bloody mark appeared on his knee.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
Five streaks of golden light shot out from Qiangzi’s thigh, shoulder, and armpit, their angles extremely crafty.
At this moment, Tan Yong only wanted to escape. He used both of his arms to push forward. He took two steps back and got out of the range of the snake spear.
“Chi …!”
Five streaks of golden light shot past, leaving behind a few scratches on Tan Yong’s clothes and body. Fresh blood shot out in an instant,
“Ka ka ka …!”
Five streaks of golden light shot into the asphalt pavement, leaving behind a few finger-sized holes on the pavement.
Tan Yong’s eyes were red. He wanted to rush forward, but was pulled by someone. Of course, this person was Lin Xu. Although they had attacked just now, their speed was extremely fast.
However, as a fire element, Lin Xu could still interfere if he wanted to help, but he didn’t.
That was because one of the opponents hadn’t moved before. He was sure that if he moved, that person would definitely move as well.
Moreover, this was someone else’s territory. He wasn’t sure if there were any other Fourth Grade evolvers in this mysterious town.
Tan Yong’s eyes were filled with rage. However, Lin Xu shook his head firmly at Tan Yong. The meaning in his eyes was very clear. He could no longer be impulsive. The other party was too strong.
Although Tan Yong was extremely angry, he was not a brainless reckless man. He was also very clear about the current situation.
Just now, the other party had only joined hands with the two of them and was already able to suppress him, leaving him without the slightest bit of strength to fight back. From the start of the battle, he had been in a state of being beaten up.
In fact, if the other party hadn’t shown mercy in the end, he probably wouldn’t have been able to finish the matter with just a little skin.
At the same time that Lin Xu pulled Tan Yong, Zhou Xin also stopped Qiangzi, who was about to charge forward. The two of them looked at each other across the bridge again.
Lin Xu said warmly, “We are from the Northern Military Region. The Lin Family is called Lin Xu.”
Then, he pointed at Tan Yong and said, “This is my brother. He is also from the Northern Military Region. He is from the Tan Clan and his name is Tan Yong.”
“My brother is a bit irritable. Please forgive me for offending him.”
Zhou Xin smiled heartily, “We don’t know each other unless we fight. Since we are friends of the Northern Military Region, we are guests from afar. Please come in.”
Seeing Zhou Xin’s hearty smile, Lin Xu sighed in his heart. A small white stone bridge was not invited by the other party. Perhaps the two of them would have to pay a great price to cross this white stone bridge.
However, at this time, Lin Xu and Tan Yong no longer had any ink. They walked on the small bridge side by side. As Lin Xu walked, he said, “I wonder how to address you brothers.”
Zhou Xin said indifferently, “My name is Zhou Xin. Beside me are my two brothers. The tall one is called Liao Qiang, and the other is called Wang Yang.”
Lin Xu said, “Brother Zhou, from what you said just now, is this really the gathering place established by the Rock King?”
Zhou Xin said seriously, “Of course, this place is now called Tianyan Town. However, if you come to look for the Rock King, I’m afraid that your trip will be empty. The Rock King has gone to Changwu City to explore the ruins.”
Lin Xu was puzzled, “What? Don’t you know that something big has happened to the ruins?”
Zhou Xin said calmly, “I’ve heard about this. However, it’s fine. Perhaps in a few days, this ruin passageway will open.”
Lin Xu did not dwell on this issue. At this moment, he had already crossed the small bridge.
Looking at the small town at the foot of the mountain in the distance, Lin Xu smiled bitterly. Even if the Rock King was no longer there, the two of them still didn’t have the ability to ask for any cultivation techniques.
There was no need to think about cultivation techniques. However, since they were here, it was better to explore the so-called Heavenly Rock Town.
The five of them walked towards Heavenly Rock Town. Zhou Xin was in front, while Lin Xu and Tan Yong walked behind Zhou Xin.
Qiang Zi and Wang Yang walked behind Lin Xu and Tan Yong. With such a formation, Zhou Xin believed that as long as the two of them weren’t stupid, they wouldn’t want to play any tricks.
Of course, Lin Xu and Tan Yong weren’t idiots. Their current goal was purely to scout. They didn’t want to do anything else that was useless.
Not far away from the small bridge was a long street. On both sides of the long street, there were many buildings and many buildings under construction.
On the long street, countless survivors, evolutionaries, flowing endlessly, were busy, a scene of prosperity…
