The sky was shrouded by dark clouds, making it seem dark and gloomy. A continuous stream of rain continued to fall, nourishing the earth and making it extremely muddy.
The Echo Town was a town that was situated outside of the Echo Forest.
Although it was called Town, its scale was actually not any less than that of a city. It was just that it was missing a few city walls, and it lacked the encampment of an army. It was a Town that was independent of the empire outside, formed with Adventurer s.
This is a town without order. Here, you can do anything that the law forbids.
Thirty years ago, the Empire had recaptured this Town.
At that time, the Empire had sent over a hundred thousand troops to set up camp and built a tall and thick city wall.
However, this did not last long.
Due to some unknown reason, the demon beasts went all out and attacked the Town.
The city walls could not withstand the attacks of the magical beasts at all. Millions of beasts instantly destroyed the reverberating Town, and not a single Adventurer or army from the Town was spared. They all became food for the magical beasts.
At that time, this incident shocked everyone inside and outside the nation, and the king of Atlantis immediately gave the order to strengthen the defenses of the cities surrounding the [Echo] Town, giving up on the fat [Echo] Town.
Because at that time, this matter caused no one to dare to approach the Echo Forest again, and the reverberating Town also became desolate for ten years because of this.
However, time was a good medicine, and in just 10 years, people gradually forgot about this sensational event.
Twenty years ago, the Adventurer s were unable to resist the temptation of the forest and they returned to this place. They spent nearly ten years to clear these ruins and built a new set of Town.
And after another ten years of development, the Town had finally reached its current scale, and was now comparable to the Shining Town that was controlled by the Empire back then.
From then until now, in the past thirty years, his Town and Echo Forest had always been peaceful and peaceful, as if nothing had happened at all.
As for the demon beast rebellion back then, it was still an unsolved mystery to this day. This had gradually turned into a legend that was passed around within the Town.
Outside the Town, in the midst of the drizzling rain, a skinny and small person wearing a black cape and rainproof coat rode a mighty unicorn and slowly walked towards the sound of the Town.
Even though it was raining, the Town was still unusually lively.
There were many different types of goods being sold. There were young magical beasts, magical beast cores, roasted magical beast meat, weapons, pills … The sight of all sorts of things dazzled the eyes of the onlookers.
Unable to help but jump off Fatty Hai, Liu Yunqi walked towards a stall that sold demon beasts.
Seeing that someone was walking towards his booth, the shop owner immediately greeted him enthusiastically, "Guest, would you like one? It's very easy to tame such a small magical beast. Feeding it for a while will help you get a little help. "
Liu Yunqi curiously looked at the spirit beasts in the cage, then pointed at a bird with a pair of golden wings and asked curiously, "Is this a chicken?"
"Pfft ~"
The shop owner choked and coughed as he said, "Customer, you sure know how to joke around. This isn't a chicken, it's a Golden Winged Eagle …" "It might look small now, but it has great potential for growth. Legend has it that a hundred years ago, an Azure Hawk Saint Beast once appeared.
It was said that the eagle was incomparably large. With just a flutter of its wings, it could split apart mountains and cut off rivers.
"Flying in the sky is like covering the sky and covering the sun. So, don't look at how small this Golden-Winged Eagle is right now. It has the bloodline of a Saint Beast ~"
Ah!" I say, you want to use this story of yours to deceive your guests again? Guest, don't listen to his nonsense. This isn't something that can be said for nothing. As a person, he likes to make things up. Where did the Golden-Winged Falcons come from? They are at most Class 3 Magical Beasts. Come here and take a look, I have a young Savage Earth Bear here. Although it is still a Class 1 Magical Beast, when it matures, it will become a Class 4 Magical Beast! "Some of them can even reach the fifth step, which is definitely worth it." A vendor beside him said.
"Sigh!" I say, you bastard, what are you talking about?! How am I making this up?! This is the true story passed down from mouth to mouth! I say, are you trying to steal my business because you can't sell your own stuff?! "
"Heh heh, everyone is saying that? Go and ask who here would believe you? It's just a Class 3 Magical Beast and yet you're boasting like a Saint Beast, you don't even know how to boast. "
Seeing that the two of them were arguing and not wanting to bother with each other, Liu Yunqi turned to leave.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw something white from the corner of his eyes. Liu Yunqi couldn't help but look in that direction.
On the other side of the road, there was another stall selling magical beasts.
Amongst the numerous beasts, a unique fox caught Liu Yunqi's attention. That fox was only a little bigger than a rabbit, and its entire white body was flawless.
At this time, the fox was lying inside the cage with its lifeless eyes. Liu Yunqi could actually see a trace of despair in its eyes.
Right! It was called 'despair'.
Although it was not very obvious, Liu Yunqi could still see through it.
Out of curiosity, he ignored the two vendor's pleas for him to stay and headed straight for the booth opposite him.
Liu Yunqi lowered his head to look at the fox in the cage, his eyes filled with curiosity.
Sensing that someone was looking at it, the fox only raised its eyelids for a moment before continuing to stare blankly at Liu Yunqi.
"This fox seems to have intelligence." Liu Yunqi was surprised.
Seeing the despair in its eyes, Liu Yunqi felt that it was a little unbearable. After hesitating for a moment, he finally let out a sigh, and thought to himself, "Just treat it as doing a good deed."
Thinking about it, Liu Yunqi then asked the shop owner who was sleeping at the side, "Hello, how much gold is this fox?"
Hearing someone's question, the shop owner opened his eyes and looked at the fox that Liu Yunqi was pointing at and lazily said, "Ten thousand gold."
"Why is it so expensive?" That doesn't seem to be anything special? " Liu Yunqi frowned and asked.
"If you don't want to buy it, then don't disturb my sleep." The shop owner said impatiently.
"Fine, 10,000 gold coins."
Although he was dissatisfied with the vendor's service attitude, Liu Yunqi still took out the crystal card that Zhao Wushuang had given him and passed it over to the vendor.
The shop owner took the crystal card and closed his eyes to continue sleeping, he did not bother to pay attention to Liu Yunqi.
Carrying the cage with the white fox, Liu Yunqi rode Big Fatty and left, continuing to walk forward.
Not long after, he passed through the Town and arrived in a forest. Liu Yunqi then opened the cage, placed it on the ground, and opened it. "I don't know what happened today, so I'll just save your life.
The White Fox saw that Liu Yunqi was about to open the cage and let it go, so it looked at him suspiciously. Then, the White Fox quickly ran into the forest and disappeared.
"Ai ~ I wonder what's going on, why did you spend ten thousand gold to save a fox?"
With a sigh, Liu Yunqi turned around, about to return and reply back to Town.
However, when he turned around, he discovered that in the direction of Town, a group of people riding unicorns were slowly surrounding him.
"Who are you people? "What do you want?" Liu Yunqi frowned and asked.
"Hehe! You don't need to know who we are. Kid, if you know what's good for you, hand over your gold coins. Otherwise …" A one-eyed man who was riding a unicorn walked in front as he sneered.
Beside the one-eyed man was a tall and skinny man, who was staring fiercely at Liu Yunqi. Liu Yunqi recognized this man, he was the person who sold the fox to him.
"I've already given him the money just now ~ I don't have any left ~" Liu Yunqi pointed at the tall and skinny man.
Hearing Liu Yunqi's words, the one-eyed man could not help but frown at the tall and skinny man beside him.
The tall and skinny man quickly quivered and said, "Big brother, don't listen to his nonsense. He only gave me a total of ten thousand gold coins." Brother, just think about it, if this brat can casually pay ten thousand gold coins, then he must have even more on him. "
"Brat, if you know what's good for you, quickly hand it over. Otherwise, we won't be responsible if we start fighting with broken arms or broken legs." When the one-eyed man heard the tall, skinny man's words, he immediately began to laugh savagely.
"This big brother, I just took out all my money, I really don't have any left." Liu Yunqi said as he frowned.
"It's not up to you to decide. Since you don't want to take it out, we can only do it ourselves." Brothers, charge! " The one-eyed man snorted and waved his hand. All of the brothers behind him immediately swarmed over and surrounded Liu Yunqi.
"Sigh … I've already said it, why didn't you listen?"
Helplessly shaking his head, before waiting for them to come to the front, Liu Yunqi suddenly leaped up, his Spirit Qi surging out and kicking one of the bandits in front flying.
He landed on the back of the One-horned Beast, and before Liu Yunqi could stand firm, another robber blocking their path raised his sword and chopped towards Liu Yunqi.
As he dodged the sword, Liu Yunqi reached out and lightly pulled, causing the bandit to instantly lose his balance. With a miserable scream, he fell to the ground, and after being stepped on by the unicorn, he fell to the ground with a pale face.
Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a sword slashing towards his waist. Liu Yunqi leapt into the air and dodged the sword, then followed up with a kick to the face of the person who was sent flying.
Thus, among the over 10 bandits, Liu Yunqi's figure was extremely fast, while he was moving, the bandits on the unicorns were not even able to touch his side before they all fell to the ground and wailed. The speed at which the bandits landed was so fast that it caused everyone to be speechless.
Seeing Liu Yunqi jumping up and down in the midst of the unicorns, and kicking all of his comrades away, the tall and skinny man started to panic a little, "Big Brother, this kid knows Dou Qi, he's so strong ~ What should I do?"
The one-eyed man laughed disdainfully, "What are you panicking for? This kid is so young, how powerful can he be? "
"That's right! No matter how strong this brat is, can he be stronger than big brother? Once big brother takes action, isn't this kid an easy target? " The tall and skinny man chuckled.
"I suddenly thought of something. Shooting people first, capturing bandits first and capturing the king." A clear and melodious voice of a boy was suddenly heard not too far away from the two of them.
After a moment of shock, both of them turned to look in that direction at the same time.
Liu Yunqi then kicked one bandit after another as he broke through their encirclement and flew towards the one-eyed man.
"Humph!" "You're courting death!"
A cold light flashed in his eyes, the one-eyed man snorted and released his battle qi. He took out his sword and leaped up to meet Liu Yunqi.
A glimmer flashed in his eyes. The moment the sword was about to hit him, Liu Yunqi threw his upper body backwards. At the same time, he kicked out with both of his feet, heavily kicking at the one-eyed man's abdomen.
He did not expect Liu Yunqi's body to be so nimble in the air. The one-eyed man groaned and was sent flying high in the air by his kick.
Flipping around in the air, Liu Yunqi steadily stood on the One-eyed man's One-horned Beast.
When the tall and skinny man beside saw that even the one-eyed man could not stop Liu Yunqi, his face immediately changed and he rode his One-horned Beast to escape.
Liu Yunqi flashed his body and kicked the lanky man's face …
With a muffled groan, the tall and skinny man flipped countless times in the air before heavily falling to the ground and fainting.
Just then, the one-eyed man fell down from the sky. He held onto his stomach for a long time without being able to get back up, his face was drenched in cold sweat as he pointed at Liu Yunqi and grinded his teeth, "Get rid of him!"
However, the one-eyed man's subordinates saw that they could not even defeat Liu Yunqi, so they did not care about his orders anymore and scattered in panic. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.
Blinking his eyes, Liu Yunqi slowly walked over to the one-eyed man, revealing his little white teeth and said: "I said before that I don't have any money on me, you just didn't believe me, do you believe me now?"
Gritting his teeth, the one-eyed man did not have time to get up and tried to slash at Liu Yunqi.
With a darkened face, Liu Yunqi kicked the one-eyed man's shoulder like lightning.
"Crack!"
Ah!" I say, you want to use this story of yours to deceive your guests again? Guest, don't listen to his nonsense. This isn't something that can be said for nothing. As a person, he likes to make things up. Where did the Golden-Winged Falcons come from? They are at most Class 3 Magical Beasts. Come here and take a look, I have a young Savage Earth Bear here. Although it is still a Class 1 Magical Beast, when it matures, it will become a Class 4 Magical Beast! "Some of them can even reach the fifth step, which is definitely worth it." A vendor beside him said.
Screams could be heard as the longsword in the one-eyed man's hand flew out of his grasp. His entire arm hung by his side, swaying slightly.
The one-eyed man's face suddenly paled. Clutching his own arm, he laid on the ground and looked at Liu Yunqi with a head full of sweat. His eyes were filled with fear.
He did not expect Liu Yunqi to be so ruthless at such a young age, and actually cut off his arm.
At the same time, he was even more afraid of Liu Yunqi's strength. After fighting for so long, he still could not see clearly just how strong Liu Yunqi was.
"Do you believe it now?" Liu Yunqi smiled slightly and said.
"Letter …" "I believe you …" The one-eyed man covered his arm and said with cold sweat.
"As long as you believe it …" "Sigh … … Some people just don't like the truth. They just like to see evidence. Are you satisfied with this evidence?" Liu Yunqi looked at the one-eyed man and asked.
"Full... "Satisfied," the one-eyed man said humiliated.
"It's good that you're satisfied. I remember that I left something at your place. Let me look for it ~"
As he said that, Liu Yunqi searched the body of the one-eyed man for gold coins and Liu Yunqi's Crystal Card.
Just as he was about to put all these things back into the Spatial Ring, he saw the one-eyed man staring at him angrily. Liu Yunqi was confused, "These things are mine anyway, do you believe me?"
The one-eyed man was shocked. He gritted his teeth and said, "I do!"
Liu Yunqi then nodded his head in satisfaction: "It's good that you believe me, I was afraid you would ask for more evidence, Alright, since everything is fine now, then I will leave first, you don't need to send me, I know the way."
With a slight smile, Liu Yunqi picked up the two stones from the ground and casually threw them. The stones smashed onto the buttocks of the one-eyed man and the lanky man's two unicorns, and the unicorns, in a state of shock, shrieked and ran off into the distance.
"Walking is good for your physical and mental health. I'll be leaving first. You guys take your time and train …"
Liu Yunqi hopped onto Fatty's back and revealed his small white teeth at the one-eyed man, then waved at him before he turned towards the reverberating Town and slowly left.
