Chapter 2369 Strange "City"
Ling Tian looked at the four people in front of him with a smile on his face, without a trace of fear in his eyes.
The man who led the threats noticed the expressions of Ling Tian and the others, frowned slightly, and continued, "Wasn't what I said clear enough? I said..."
"Very clear." Ling Tian nodded and interrupted directly: "Then why don't you try it?"
After these words were spoken, the leading man was visibly stunned.
After all, he didn't expect Ling Tian to be so rampant. He had already warned them, but they were not afraid at all and even looked down on him.
Noticing this, the fat man in the lead looked at the two of them, then lowered his voice slightly, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes, and asked, "Are you the orc killers from Weicheng?"
"No." Ling Tian shook his head: "Why? Do you have any business with the beast killer in Weicheng?"
"I……"
The fat man remained silent upon hearing this. He just stood there thinking. After a moment, he sighed and said, "Forget it. Which city are you from?"
"Weicheng."
Ling Tian did not hide the fact that he was from Weicheng.
Sooner or later they will know which city they are from anyway, and their goal is to investigate the situation, find out who the people in front of them are, and find out what happened in the city they are in.
So at this moment, being honest with each other is the faster way to stabilize the situation than concealing some information.
Unfortunately, when the four people heard that Ling Tian and the others were from Weicheng, each of them showed a surprised expression.
The leading man opened his mouth, and his facial features seemed to change with surprise.
Seeing the expressions of several people, Ling Tian was slightly stunned and asked curiously: "What's wrong? I'm from Weicheng, is that a big problem? Why do I feel that your expressions are a little strange?"
"This……"
The fat man was still standing in the front. He looked at his companions, then at Ling Tian and the others, the hesitation on his face clearly visible.
Seeing the man hesitate, Ling Tian continued, "I have no ill will towards you. We just came out not long ago and we got lost, which is why we ran into you. If you want to kill us and still have ill will towards us, then we will also launch a reasonable counterattack."
"But if you wish to coexist peacefully with us, at least tell us some information. Then we will definitely not clash. I can guarantee this. Moreover, if a conflict were to occur, based on your realm... you would be killed by us in three seconds."
Ling Tian said, stretching out three fingers and shaking them.
To be honest, that was not his intention. He didn't want to conflict with these people or scare them.
However, they started making all kinds of arrogant remarks right from the start and threatened him when they first met, so Ling Tian also made a small threat in the same way.
You know what, I don’t know if it was Ling Tian’s threat that worked, or if those people just didn’t want to conflict with Ling Tian and the others anymore.
The leading man stepped forward, a flattering smile suddenly appearing on his face. He said, "Hey, little brother, we were just joking. None of us wants to have a conflict with you, really! You must trust me. So, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, and I will tell you everything."
???
Hearing the other party's sudden change in tone, Ling Tian's eyes flashed with doubt, and then he looked at Wang Jie beside him and showed a helpless smile.
After all, the other party's attitude changed quite quickly.
Before I could even show my strength, the other party seemed to surrender directly, not giving anyone a chance to react.
Just as Ling Tian was puzzled, the fat man stepped forward and chuckled, "Little brother, I know you might be a little confused, but don't worry, we have no ill intentions. We only threaten you directly because we're afraid. We're afraid that you might be a bad person, that you might be an orc killer."
"Ok?"
Hearing the other party's words, Ling Tian suddenly caught a detail.
The people in front of me seemed to be very afraid of the beast killers from Weicheng?!
Logically speaking, killing orcs should not mean any ill will towards humans.
However, these people showed resistance and seemed to have great malice. Could it be that killing orcs outside Weicheng was not what he imagined?
At this moment, Wang Jie stepped forward and asked, "Which city are you from?"
"Golden City!"
Wang Jie raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of confusion as he asked, "You are from Jincheng? Then why are you outside? I remember that Jincheng has the best defense, right? And I remember that you all don't like to leave the city. You..."
Wang Jie asked in confusion. The fat man exchanged glances with his companions, then looked at Wang Jie and said, "Hey, brother, how long has it been since you last heard about what's happening in Jincheng? We lost Jincheng twenty years ago."
"What did you say?!" Wang Jie looked at the other person in surprise. "Twenty years ago? Impossible. I remember that Jincheng's defense was very high, at least several levels higher than Weicheng. And your city lord, I remember, was at the peak of the Unity Realm, right? How could you all fall?!"
Wang Jie's words seemed to bring back bad memories for the fat man. He lowered his head, sighed, and said, "It's a long story. How about this, how about we go to our base and eat while we talk? I think you guys must be hungry, and there's nothing else to eat around here."
Hearing this, Ling Tian glanced in the direction where his car was hidden, then nodded: "Okay, let's go take a look together."
"Okay, let's go!"
Four people took the lead and walked forward with Ling Tian and the others.
Along the way, Ling Tian was curious about the grudge between them and the orc killers, but the other party did not say anything, but just told him that when he reached the destination, he would know everything he wanted.
On the way, Ling Tian also learned the other party's name, Du Yanfeng, who was once the most famous blacksmith in Jincheng.
However, after the city fell, as the number of warriors in the city decreased, the task of leaving the city fell on these Heaven-shaking Realm warriors.
Several people walked together and finally arrived at the so-called destination at night.
There were a number of small houses of different sizes in front of me. They were obviously built by the people here who cut down trees and built them themselves. At a glance, all the houses were made of piles of wood.
At the same time, Ling Tian also noticed that there were quite a few people here, almost three hundred or so, but there were only a dozen warriors.
After observing for a while, Ling Tian looked at Du Yanfeng and said, "Is this where you live now?"
"Yes." Du Yanfeng smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Welcome to our new hometown, Jincheng!"
