Rock Fire Castle is a city located in the middle of the desert, which is somewhat similar to the original Green Water Village, but the difference is that Green Water Village is located in an oasis at the edge of the desert, while Rock Fire Castle is located in the middle of the desert, surrounded by desolation, and there is no trace of greenery in sight.
The snake spirit and I came down from the dragon and black beast, and we couldn't help but frown as we looked at the giant city in front of us, which was completely shrouded in wind and sand.
It is said that the sand lizards who rule the Rock Fire Castle have lived in the desert for generations, and may be happy with the wind and sand, but for me and the snake spirits, they are instinctively disgusted.
It's no wonder that when I was in Rock City before, I heard that the southern provinces rarely communicate with the two northwestern provinces, and just this weather of sandstorms every day, I'm afraid that the other orc races can't stand it at all.
Through the wind and sand, the snake spirit and I walked into the towering gate of the Rock Fire Castle, the strange thing is that when we entered the city, the sand and dust that had just been flying in the sky suddenly disappeared from the side, except that the sky was a little dark, the city was actually dry, the air was fresh, and the streets were spacious, which instantly made people feel a lot more comfortable.
I looked up at the sky, and the wind and sand had not disappeared, and even somewhat obscured the sky, which was the reason why the sky was dark, but there seemed to be a transparent and colorless filter in the city, which shielded the wind and sand from the outside of the city, which was a bit interesting.
After reading the weather, I looked at the pedestrians on the streets around me, not only the sand lizards in the city as I thought, in fact, the half-orcs on the streets have different forms and races, but they are very different from the half-orcs in the northern provinces and the western provinces.
In addition to the most common sand lizards, I also saw beautiful butterfly girls, strong giant crocodile men, hawksbill scholars with glasses, and so on.
In addition to them, there are also some races with strange shapes, such as a slender girl with two transparent wings on her back, like an elf; I can't guess what race a man with two extremely strong arms but a short stature is.
However, generally speaking, according to the classification of the human world, the orcs here are inclined to reptiles and insects, which are fundamentally different from the western and northern provinces, which makes me quite eye-opening.
After seeing the customs of Rock Fire Castle, it's time to get down to business.
From Wind Breath City all the way here, after more than five months, at this time, there is only less than half a month left before the Beast Awakening Ceremony.
With the experience of the first two times, it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with the fierce beast of Rock Fire Castle, but the first two times the snake spirit participated as a dragon, especially the second time, he took the initiative to join in, if he appeared again this time, I am afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the demon clan, even if this time it is successfully successful, the last fierce beast that will appear in the royal city next time will be a little more risky.
So after thinking about it, I decided to let the snake spirit not show up this time, and I would take care of everything.
Now my cultivation is approaching half a step of Xiaju, even in the face of the Demon Emperor, I am confident that I can retreat with my whole body, so without the help of the snake spirit, I am not panicked, first wandered around the city a few times, found the location of the city lord's mansion, and then found a nearby inn to settle down.
The Rock Fire Castle is located in the middle of the desert, and although there is no wind and sand in the city, there is hardly any vegetation in the city.
If there is no grass and trees, there will naturally be no wooden houses, so the houses in the Rock Fire Castle are almost made of stones, square and square, and they look unique.
As the most majestic building in the Rock Fire Castle, the structure of the Castle Lord's Mansion is different, not made of stone, but a metal structure throughout, and from a distance, the light golden appearance looks shining even in this dim weather.
Although it was far away, I still recognized that these metal materials were pure gold, and it seemed that whether it was in the human world or in the demon realm, gold was a hard currency that could be displayed.
After settling in, that night, I infiltrated the pure gold city lord's mansion.
Only the city lord of the Rock Fire Castle who has cultivated in the middle stage of the demon god is not my opponent, but I don't need to trouble him, I directly found a sand lizard elder in the city lord's mansion, and used some means to find out about this matter, and then erased his memory and left without leaving a trace.
In general, the Awakening Beast Ceremony of Rock Fire Castle is basically no different from the other two provinces, in addition to this, I also got another piece of information, the Sand Lizard Demon Emperor of Rock Fire Castle has been in retreat for many years, and he does not care about the world.
This undoubtedly reassured me a lot.
After waiting in the inn for a few days, the day of the awakening ceremony came, and I directly asked the snake spirit to wait in the inn, and I sneaked into the city lord's mansion again and blended into the awakening ceremony.
In the case that everyone's strength is not as good as mine, and there is no need to worry about the Demon Emperor peeping, naturally everything is going well.
The fierce beast that awakened this time is named 梼杌, and in the record, this beast "is like a tiger and dog hair, two zhang long, tiger feet, pig teeth, and a tail eight zhang long, disturbing the wilderness."
Roughly speaking, this fierce beast is a huge, with wild boar fangs and a super long tail of the dog-haired tiger, and according to the records, this fierce beast has an extremely stubborn and vicious character, but in the face of the power of the gods I exude, it does not have the slightest ferocious appearance at all, and even when staring at me, there is a lot of admiration in its eyes, and it is obviously very good with the demon emperor.
After successfully subduing Han Zhu and explaining that he settled down and waited for the next meeting, I did not leave, but stayed in the city lord's mansion for another day before returning to the inn.
I stayed for an extra day, not because I was worried about any changes, but because I wanted to check if there was any news from Nangong.
It was no accident that he appeared in Wind Breath City last time, according to my understanding, he was extremely hostile to the demon clan, but now he suddenly took the initiative to take out the artifact and hand it over to the demon clan, he must have some kind of purpose.
I'm not sure exactly what he's going to do, but there's no doubt that this matter is definitely related to me, so I'd like to see if he will continue to participate in the other beast awakening rituals.
Now it seems that I thought too much, and he didn't follow him to Rock Fire Castle.
Without waiting for Nangong, I also put this matter behind me for the time being, and stayed with the snake spirit in the Rock Fire Castle for some more time.
According to the news from the dragon clan, the time when the last fierce beast awakened in the royal city was set to be two years later.
Although the Rock Fire Castle is far away from the royal city, it will not take more than half a year to travel, and in the past half a year, we have been hunting fierce beasts and hurrying for most of the year, and we are physically and mentally tired, so we have rested in the Rock Fire Castle for a while, and at the same time stabilized our own breath, so that the cultivation was completely stabilized, and then we left the Rock Fire Castle, boarded the Dragon Black Beast again, took the northeast, and crossed the weak water.
When we came to the Rock Fire Castle, we flew on the weak water lake for two months, and we had long lost interest in the black water below, but this time we went to the royal city, and the weak water lake seemed to have changed, no longer an endless ocean of water, but occasionally there were islands and reefs, some of the islands were quite large, and the island was full of greenery, covered with green plants, and the desert Gobi scene we saw in the past six months was completely different.
In addition to the appearance of plants, almost all the islands and reefs have the breath of fierce beasts, but I and the snake spirit can only see the fierce beasts cultivated by the demon gods, so the general islands and reefs will not stay at all, only after discovering the breath of the demon gods and fierce beasts, will stop for a while, after hunting the beast to take the pill, rest and stay on the islands and reefs for a few days, watch the scenery and wild things that are completely different from the world, and then continue on the road.
There is plenty of time on this road, so we are also very relaxed, saying that it is a hurry, in fact, it is more like playing, the snake spirit even caught a few ape-like beasts, and stayed by his side to train every day, as a slave, and had a lot of fun.
I considered using this time to go to the Dragon Domain to bring Hitomi out, but after careful consideration, I still felt that with the current cultivation of me and the snake spirit, it was not safe to go to the Dragon Domain, and it was difficult to say whether it would affect the matter of subduing the four fierce beasts, so in the end, I decided to solve the last Chaos Fierce Beast first, and then consider rescuing Hitomi and leaving the Demon Domain.
Along the way, our speed was not fast, and we drifted for half a year, and we were still in the depths of the weak water lake.
Suddenly, one day, the snake spirit and I found another island below on the dragon black beast, about a thousand zhang in circumference, the island surface is lush, there is nothing strange at a rough look, but a little sense, but vaguely perceive an extremely majestic and vast power.
My first reaction was that I encountered the fierce beast cultivated by the Demon Emperor, but after careful investigation, I didn't find any traces of the existence of the fierce beast on the island.
After discussing it with the snake spirit, this guy's eyes were shining, and he was sure that this was not the breath of a fierce beast, but the breath of some powerful treasure, and said that their dragon clan was the most sensitive to the breath of treasures, and he would not be mistaken.
His speculation does have some truth, treasures like the ten major artifacts have strong power in themselves, if there are really treasures of this level on this island, everything I sense makes sense.
There is a treasure from the sky, naturally there is no reason to miss it, not to mention that I have absolute confidence in my cultivation, so I quickly beckoned the snake spirit, drove the dragon and black beast, and fell down to the island.
