The youth said sympathetically, "Ah, your luck is so ugly. It seems like the flying ship suddenly stopped two days ago. Where are you going to live now? The Free Towers is a place that no merchant caravans are allowed to live after they have finished their business. "

Ding Hong's eyes quietly flashed with light. He bitterly smiled and said, "That's right. Moreover, we are small traders to begin with. Who would not know that such a lump would appear in the middle of it?"

The teenager rolled his eyes and said, "My house is quite far away from here. I can't find any of the scouts. Why don't you stay at my place and pay me?" It's worth it! "

When Ding Hong heard this, he immediately broke into a smile and said, "That's great. How much is the price?"

The youth coughed and asked, "How long will you be staying for?"

Ding Hong was in a somewhat difficult situation. He said, "We are really not sure about that. If this airport is not opened …"

When the youth heard Ding Hong's words, he could not even close his mouth from laughing. He said, "Then this price..."

Ding Hong frowned. Just as he was about to speak, the young man hurriedly said, "You must think carefully! You are not the only businessmen here! Also, I'm the only one who lives in that house. When the time comes, you and your wife can live there as long as you like! Such a good room, where are you going to find it? "

When the youth said "it's a matter of clearing the world of clouds and rain with your wife", Duan Ling Tian and Ding Hong were stunned on the spot. Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian came to his senses and his face flushed red. Ding Hong was frightened and hastily went to her side. He didn't care about anything else as he grabbed her tender white hand and winked at her, "Madam, since that's the case, where should we live first? "Going to other places would take a lot of effort, so breaking your skin wouldn't be good."

Duan Ling Tian used all of his strength to try and pull out his hand to kill that youth, but how could Ding Hong let go? Just like this, the two of them kept flipping their hands, causing the young man to think that this couple was very fond of each other. He laughed heartily.

Duan Ling Tian's face was livid as he stared at Ding Hong, his eyes actually emitting true coldness. Ding Hong was startled and hastily released his hand. The corner of his mouth twitched as he forcefully smiled. He turned around and said to the youth, "She has agreed."

The youth clapped his hands and said: "Since that's the case, you guys should take out some deposit first."

Chu Ran stood off to the side, as if he was just doing something unnecessary. Now that the deposit was mentioned, he asked, "That silver tael from before, did it not count?"

The youth rolled his eyes at him and said, "How can you do that with so little money?"

Ding Hong took out some jade and agate and placed them on the counter. "How about this?"

"Pa!"

"Ouch!"

When the youth saw the jade and agate, he excitedly jumped up and slammed his head on the not too tall roof. The space around the house was not big, and was filled with large and small iron tools. The youth didn't even raise his head for a long time from the pain. Finally, he covered his head and crawled up from under the counter, staring at the agate and emerald with a pair of teary eyes as he excitedly said, "You guys really used this to pay."

Ding Hong smiled and took back the jade. He pointed to the agate and said, "This is the deposit. When we leave, we will give this jade to you."

"Good, good, good." The youngster's expression was a little dazed. He could only smile foolishly and agree. Suddenly, he thought of something and jumped out from behind the counter, ignoring the pain. He closed the door and locked it, then went in front of the counter and grabbed onto the agate with all his might. "Come, I'll bring you to my place! "Follow me."

Ding Hong was instantly speechless, then turned around to Duan Ling Tian's side and coughed dryly. "Let's go."

Duan Ling Tian coldly glanced at him before walking by himself with the youth. After which, Chu Ran followed after him as well, and Ding Hong followed after him after muttering a few words.

The invincibility of this house was a huge platform, and on the platform was a flying machine similar to the one he had just seen. However, the place where the goods were placed had been vacated out and a few seats were fixed on it. It must have been modified to look like this just to send people up the tower.

Ding Hong asked, "Did you make this thing or...?"

The youth said, "Oh, these things are all my father's. However, he did not come back after one of his missions …" His voice trailed off until the last few words were barely audible. He suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Come on up!"

The few of them boarded the aircraft, and the youngster activated it to take off. In an instant, he was sent flying into the sky.

The youth placed a hood over his head and said, "My house is quite far from these bustling places. You all should bear with it for a bit." He thought that if these people didn't have anything to protect themselves with, they would definitely be blown around by the strong winds, but what surprised him was that these three people were completely fine. A question suddenly arose in his mind, just what were these people up to?

The flying vehicle did not fly too high and its speed remained at a moderate pace. After an unknown period of time, all Ding Hong knew was that the flying vehicle had left the residential area of the crowd. He only stopped when he arrived at a special valley.

The terrain here was strange. There were two precipitous mountain ranges over two hundred zhang tall with a strange canyon between them. This canyon was very uneven, and there were many different types of houses with uneven levels.

The youth stopped the flying ship at a relatively flat spot and pulled out a dim glowing ball from a hidden compartment on the bridge. After that, the few of them got off the flying ship together. The young man pointed at a three-storey house that was hanging diagonally on the mountainside and said, "That's my house. "Oh yeah, I'm called Peng Yue, what's your name?"

Ding Hong smiled and said, "Bai Fan." He pointed at Chu Ran, "Chu Ran." As for Duan Ling Tian, Ding Hong didn't dare make introductions. Duan Ling Tian glanced at Peng Yue and said, "There's no need."

Peng Yue smiled in embarrassment but didn't say anything. Actually, if he were to calculate the age of this person, he was afraid that he wouldn't be too far off from Ding Hong, Chu Ran, and Duan Ling Wan. However, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Chu Ran's age was probably the highest among the crowd.

Although Peng Yue's building had three floors, it was very narrow. It was a square shaped building with a maximum distance of fifty to sixty feet.

As he passed by a house, an old man who was smoking a pipe at the entrance shouted, "Oh, Peng Yue, you're back so early today!"

Peng Yue replied, "Haha, Master Pan. I saw that there was no business today, so I came back early."

The old man laughed. "You must be back to continue working on your old man's flying shuttle, right?" His eyes occasionally caught sight of Ding Hong and the others who were following behind him. He exclaimed, "Who are they?"

Just as Peng Yue wanted to say a few words to him, he was suddenly asked, "Oh, we came here to do business, but we didn't manage to get any information. We didn't know that the airport was locked, so we didn't have any place to live.

The old man laughed and scolded, "This is a rich person."

Peng Yue chatted with the old man for a while with a mischievous smile before bringing everyone back to his house.

As they entered Peng Yue's house, the scent of goods that had been piled up for a long time gushed out. Perhaps Peng Yue himself had also smelled it, and said in embarrassment, "This smell only exists on the first floor. The second floor is relatively lighter, so the third floor can't smell it at all. The three of you can each sleep on one floor. I usually hang out at night. You guys take a look first, I'll go out for a while. "

He took a bunch of keys and left.

Although the smell was a little strange, the few of them still settled down. Duan Ling Tian stayed on the third floor, Ding Hong's second floor, and Chu Ran could only stay miserably on the first floor.

During this time, Peng Yue had also invited them to eat somewhere else. Ding Hong and Duan Ling Tian had only taken a few symbolic bites before returning to Peng Yue's house. When they arrived at the entrance, they did not go in. Instead, they took the opportunity to arrive at a relatively high part of the mountain range.

Duan Ling Tian said, "What do we do now? Are we just going to wait like this?"

Ding Hong shook his head. "It's impossible for us to continue waiting. I think that Peng Yue must have some tricks up his sleeve. Why don't we let him directly carry us to the Stone Tower?"

Duan Ling Tian asked curiously, "Didn't he say that he wasn't following a normal route and was about to be destroyed by that sky warship?"

Ding Hong laughed, "Ha, how big is the Boundless Ocean? Could it be that every fifty miles, those people from the Pan Clan would put up a sky battleship? "

Duan Ling Tian nodded. "That's the only way."

When the two of them returned to their room, Chu Ran was already there. Just as Peng Yue came out of the house, Ding Hong called out to Peng Yue and dragged him to an empty space.

Puzzled, Peng Yue asked, "What? Big Brother Bai has something to ask?"

Ding Hong looked at him. Being called big brother made him feel guilty. He didn't hide anything and said, "Bring us to the Stone Tower. I can give you more jewelry than the rent."

Peng Yue's mischievous smile disappeared as he stared at Ding Hong and asked, "Who the hell are you people?"

Ding Hong said, "You don't need to care who we are. "Is he willing or not willing to just say a few words to you?"

Peng Yue muttered to himself, "My father left me an incomplete flying ship. After perfecting it, it won't be difficult for me to head to the Pangolin Pagoda. It's just that …"

Ding Hong said, "But what?"

Peng Yue replied, "It's just that the danger is too great. If something went wrong, we would die without a complete corpse. This …"

After hearing him say so, Ding Hong could only act like the purest bad guy. With a gloomy face, he said, "If you don't do it, aren't you afraid that you will die without a complete corpse?"

When Peng Yue saw his expression change, he instinctively took a step back. Ding Hong harrumphed. He reached out his hand to grab his collar and dragged him over. He said, "You have to think carefully. If you are willing, you will be a great treasure. If you don't …" Ding Hong's eyes swept over a large rock to his side. As he flipped his palm, sword energy flew out and in the blink of an eye, the rock was cut into several pieces.

He, who had lived a peaceful life since childhood, had never seen such a scene before. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "I admit defeat, but first you have to give me half of the deposit. You want me to repair that flying machine in its entirety."

"Oh?" Ding Hong thought for a moment, then threw some emerald jadeite to him before dragging him into the room. In front of Chu Ran, he pulled Peng Yue over to where Duan Ling Tian lived. At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was standing by the window in boredom as he surveyed the scenery outside. He was slightly surprised to see Ding Hong's actions.

Ding Hong said, "Give him some medicine to make him behave."

When Duan Ling Tian saw Peng Yue's current state, he knew that Ding Hong had made his point, so he casually threw a pill into Peng Yue's mouth and said, "If you say anything, then you'll break off an inch of his intestines, and say two sentences one foot, three sentences …" You decide. "

Not to mention the attitude of Peng Yue when he heard this, even Ding Hong felt goosebumps rising all over his body. Peng Yue was currently depressed. He had originally thought that he could earn a few small sums of money, but who knew that these people would have such ghoulish faces? I've lost!

After exiting the house, he had a face full of tears. In his hands was a large bag of treasures, and he felt as if he had money but did not have his life to spend. After sighing a few times, he took his flying shuttle to the edge of the tower to buy a bunch of spare parts.

Even though he said that, Peng Yue was actually very happy. In the past, his parents had secretly planned out a flying ship for themselves. However, when this flying machine was more than halfway done, for some reason, they were recruited by the tower and had yet to return. That old gentleman Pan had once told him that it was highly likely that his parents would not be able to return.

Old Master Pan was the most prestigious person in the area, because he had already been bestowed the surname Pan. According to what the old man had said, his surname was called Pan because he had been recruited to fight against the true Western Barren Demon Beast of the Endless Sea. In the end, it was only because it had exploded in a war and killed a Demon Beast Chieftain that he obtained the surname Pan.

Mr. Pan told Peng Yue that there was a high chance that his parents had been recruited to fight the demon beasts. As for the number of people who could survive the battle against the demon beasts, old man Pan did not give a specific number. Even though he didn't give a specific number, everyone knew that usually, a conscription of a million people would result in a return of less than 50,000.

Peng Yue had bought top-quality goods. They were much better than the half-baked goods he had bought in the past. After seeing these parts, the slight trace of resentment that Peng Yue had towards Ding Hong and the others also disappeared.

Because it was too troublesome to install all the components by himself, Peng Yue had the nerve to ask for help from Ding Hong and Chu Ran. Originally, he didn't hold out much hope, but he never expected to readily agree. Not waiting for Chu Ran to speak, he pulled Chu Ran along with Peng Yue.

Peng Yue was inwardly overjoyed. Having two extra laborers would save him a lot of effort. He brought the two of them to a hidden cave. This cave was blocked by two iron plates. Six large locks were used to tightly lock the cave. Peng Yue spent a long time before opening the door, revealing a long and wide hole. In the deepest part of the hole was a lump of metal.

Peng Yue walked in and slowly pulled it open.

When Chu Ran saw the thing, his expression instantly froze and he shrieked, "This … This thing, where did you get it from …"

Peng Yue asked curiously, "What do you mean from where? Half of it was created by my parents and the other half by me. I only need the last few core components to complete it. However, I didn't have the money to do it in the past."

Chu Ran looked at Peng Yue as if he was looking at a monster. He pointed at the weird-looking flying machine and said, "Do you know that this flying machine of yours is similar to an object?"

Peng Yue replied, "It's similar to what?"

Chu Ran said: "A few years ago, the Stone Tower Elder Group forcefully recruited a few people with the strongest mechanism techniques. One of the couple suggested to follow this …" He suddenly thought of something, opened his eyes, and asked in surprise, "You, you, Peng Rui, and Liu Yunxin, who are you?!"
