That is a small red flower that was picked somewhere else and fell here.

"Someone should have passed by here not long ago!" Qingyu said to Ji Xiaoyan with a sure look on his face. Both of them couldn't help but smile with relief on their faces, then they opened their eyes wide and looked around in the direction where the little flower fell.

Search carefully.

Hard work pays off.

Soon Ji Xiaoyan and the others saw a place that was different from the surrounding white rocks.

It was a group of raised rocks, with a small hole-like place in a hidden corner.

"Let's go over and have a look." Ji Xiaoyan excitedly led Qingyu and immediately walked towards the entrance of the cave.

However, she originally wanted to go directly into the hole to check the situation, but Ji Xiaoyan bumped her head into an invisible barrier, which shocked her head and couldn't help but hurt a little!

"It's a barrier! It's right here!" Ji Xiaoyan didn't seem to be in any pain at all. He just covered his forehead and said excitedly to Qing Yu next to him, "This place is too hidden! Under normal circumstances, you can't even think of finding it.

,We have been walking for so long without noticing it!"

Qingyu couldn't help but nodded, looked around the rock group, and said with some sigh: "It seems that the Teng clan has really put a lot of thought into this town! It hides them so well...

.....It’s just that I don’t know why the aboriginal people in this town are hiding.”

"Perhaps we will know after we meet the mayor!" Ji Xiaoyan looked at Qingyu and smiled, standing on tiptoes and looking over and over at the small cave, but did not find any human figures.

He couldn't help but frown: "There is no one here, how can we let the people inside know that we are here?"

Qingyu also stuck to the barrier and looked into the cave, feeling worried.

Do they have to wait until someone from the town comes out before they can go in? How long will they have to wait?

"Lord City Lord, why don't you try throwing a few spells at this barrier?" Qingyu pondered for a long time and suggested to Ji Xiaoyan: "The barrier exists to protect their town. As long as someone attacks the barrier,

The people inside will naturally come out to check the situation."

"That's a good idea!" Ji Xiaoyan's eyes lit up and she nodded towards Qing Yu. However, when she took out her staff and prepared to attack, she suddenly reacted and said to Qing Yu with worry in her eyes:

"It's just, Qingyu! What if I print out the people in the town after attacking the barrier, but they find out that we are attacking the town, they will have a bad impression of us and be unwilling to believe us?"

"We have flowers given by the leader of the Teng tribe!" Qingyu said matter-of-factly.

"But I think it's still a little inappropriate." Ji Xiaoyan, however, thought that this idea was still ill-considered. After thinking about it, he said: "That's good. I'll try throwing a spell first, and then we'll wait for a while. If no one

Come out and throw another one... In this case, being gentle will not cause unnecessary misunderstandings!"

Qingyu didn't care, he just felt that Ji Xiaoyan was wasting his time by doing this.

How convenient it is to directly attack with a few spells! People in the town will definitely rush out in panic to check.

Having made the decision, Ji Xiaoyan no longer hesitated and threw a fireball directly towards the barrier. Then he watched the fireball fall on the barrier, shaking the barrier and sending out waves like ripples.

After it shattered and dispersed, he put away the staff and stood tightly on the spot, staring at the movement in the cave.

I don’t know if it’s just good luck.

A hurried figure soon appeared in the cave.

That man was a man in his forties, wearing white linen clothes, and his face was a little pale. After seeing Ji Xiaoyan and the others, he was obviously stunned, then frowned and walked a few steps in the direction of the barrier.

He stepped forward and asked them sternly: "Who are you? Were you trying to attack the barrier of our town just now?"

"I'm sorry, we just want to lure people out." Ji Xiaoyan had a good attitude, put on a gentle smile, and said to the aborigine.

"Bring people out? Who are you?" The man frowned and looked at Ji Xiaoyan warily and asked, and then began to look at them.

"We came from the Vine Clan." Ji Xiaoyan thought for a while and still felt that this answer should be more effective.

"The Vine Clan?!" Sure enough, when the man heard Ji Xiaoyan's words, he immediately cast his eyes on her in surprise. The vigilance in his eyes faded a bit, and then he asked curiously: "Have you been to the Vine Clan?"

Clan?"

Ji Xiaoyan nodded and thought for a while: "We need to borrow the teleportation array, but the Vine Clan's teleportation array does not have the coordinates we need, so the Vine Clan leader asked us to come to your town to have a look."

"Clan leader of the Teng Clan?!" The man glanced at Ji Xiaoyan again in surprise, and after looking at her and Qingyu several times inquiringly, he hurriedly said: "You guys wait here for a moment.

Just go back and ask the mayor to come out."

Ji Xiaoyan nodded noncommittally, and after watching the man turn around and disappear into the cave, he breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled at Qing Yu and said, "Our luck is still very good."

Qingyu nodded indifferently, but felt a little bit annoyed in his heart. He felt that Ji Xiaoyan was too gentle in his actions and was not as ruthless as a city lord should be!

Soon, the man who had just left reappeared in front of Ji Xiaoyan with several people.

The leader is a white-haired old man wearing a moon-white robe with ivory patterns embroidered on the cuffs and collar.

"You said you came from the Vine Clan, and it was the Clan Chief of the Vine Clan who asked you to borrow the teleportation array? Do you have any evidence?" The white-haired old man looked at Ji Xiaoyan with a majestic expression and asked her.

"The leader of the Vine Tribe gave me a pot of flowers." Ji Xiaoyan quickly followed the advice of the young people from the Vine Tribe, took out the pot of flowers from the bag, held it in his hand and handed it outside the barrier.

Let the white-haired old man look carefully.

Speaking of which, the pot of flowers given by the leader of the Vine Tribe is a bit shabby.

To be precise, it's just a pot of lush vines that grow enchantingly around each other.

However, after the white-haired old man in the barrier carefully looked at the pot of flowers against the barrier, his eyes widened in surprise, and then his expression immediately changed, and he nodded to Ji Xiaoyan with a smile and said.

: "Yes, yes, yes, it was indeed planted by the leader of the Vine Clan himself. Please wait a moment, I will open the barrier and let you two in."

Ji Xiaoyan nodded without any objection, put the flowers in his pocket, then silently breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and smiled at Qingyu.

The process of opening the enchantment is very simple. It is nothing more than the mayor reciting a spell and waving his hand to activate the enchantment.

"Please..." The white-haired old man smiled and made an invitation gesture to Ji Xiaoyan and Qingyu. Then after they entered the barrier, he quickly rearranged the barrier.

Then he said to them with an apologetic look: "I'm really sorry for the two guests of the Vine tribe. Our town is completely protected by the barrier, so we don't dare to be careless. If there is any negligence, I hope you will forgive me!"

Ji Xiaoyan waved his hand indifferently and followed the white-haired mayor into the cave. After a brief period of darkness, Ji Xiaoyan and the others instantly seemed to have stepped into another world and saw a huge space.<

/p>

The space is surrounded by white rocks. A few beams of sunlight cast in from the cracks in the rocks overhead, illuminating the entire space. There are more than a dozen white rock stone houses scattered in the space, with a strip in the middle.

The straight path leads directly to a slightly larger stone house at the end.

This is the whole town.

There is no square, no decoration, just some stone houses and more than thirty aboriginal people wearing white and linen clothes.

"Mr. Mayor, don't you have any guards in your town?" Ji Xiaoyan looked at the aborigines standing outside each stone house in surprise, looking at them curiously, and couldn't help but ask the white-haired mayor.

One sentence.

"Guard?! Haha!" Upon hearing this, the white-haired mayor immediately smiled and shook his head, and then said: "All the aboriginal people in our town have no force, how can there be guards? When we were able to settle here, along the way

It was only through the protection of friends from the Vine tribe that we were able to arrive here smoothly and then settle down."

When Ji Xiaoyan heard this, the steps he was taking suddenly froze. He suddenly stopped and looked at the white-haired mayor with strange eyes. An inexplicable sense of excitement suddenly rose in his heart, and then he looked at the white-haired mayor.

Looking at her and yelling a little strangely, Ji Xiaoyan couldn't help but ask: "I would like to ask, Mr. Mayor, do you know that there is a town in the northern continent just like yours, with only a few dozen aborigines? The entire town

A town where no one is worthy of force? The name of that town is Qiyun Town, and the mayor’s name is Ni Yun!”

When the white-haired mayor heard Ji Xiaoyan's words, he couldn't help but twitching at the corners of his eyes.

However, the aborigines who followed the white-haired mayor were not so calm. They all had surprised looks in their eyes and fell on Ji Xiaoyan suspiciously.

"Who are you?" The white-haired mayor couldn't help but look at Ji Xiaoyan warily and asked.

"Ahem. I forgot to introduce you!" Qingyu suddenly found the position of the follower at this moment. He coughed and attracted everyone's attention to himself, and then said: "This is the city lord of our Qingcheng.

Sir, the Lord of Ji City. A few days ago, the mayor of Qiyun Town in the Northern Continent, Ni Yun, brought their neighbor Zishui Town to settle in our Qingcheng. Now Qiyun Town is considered a part of our Qingcheng!"

"What?!" The white-haired mayor looked shocked, and his eyes fell on Ji Xiaoyan, full of disbelief.

"Qingcheng, is it also in the Northern Continent?" A man following the white-haired mayor suddenly asked.

"No. We Qingcheng is a neutral city in the center of the four continents!" Ji Xiaoyan shook his head and explained.

"Then how could Qiyun Town leave their town and run to Qingcheng?" The white-haired mayor looked at Ji Xiaoyan with stern eyes, his eyes full of suspicion.

"Because of the Fox Clan." Ji Xiaoyan sighed and said to the people in the town who were looking at her: "The Fox Clan began to invade the towns on the mainland, and Qiyun Town was almost swallowed up. Mayor Ni Yun was taking the entire town with him.

When he was escaping, he met me, and after thinking about it for a long time, he took the aboriginal people of Qiyun Town and the aboriginal people of Zishui Town and came to our Qingcheng to settle down."

"Fox clan..." The white-haired mayor seemed to have been hit. He staggered involuntarily and fell on an aborigine next to him. He muttered ugly for a while, and then he said deeply

He sighed, feeling as if he had grown older in an instant, and nodded silently.

Ji Xiaoyan was still feeling excited at this moment.

"Lord Mayor, after Mayor Ni Yun arrived in Qingcheng, he personally came to ask me for help. He must help him find the other three towns and let me protect them! I sent many people to other continents, but they couldn't find them.

Any news, I didn’t expect to meet you here..." Ji Xiaoyan was a little afraid of not having the chance to speak, so she quickly said something to the white-haired old man, and then looked at him nervously.

The white-haired mayor glanced at Ji Xiaoyan, shook his head with complicated eyes, and then said: "Protecting us...what's the use? City Lord Ji, you don't even know the reason for our existence! Qiyun

We understand the mayor’s wishes! We live a very good life here, without any worries, and peaceful enough!”

"Peace?!" Ji Xiaoyan secretly screamed something bad, his mind turned rapidly, he immediately put on a serious expression, looked at the white-haired mayor and said: "Have you forgotten the four of you, Mr. Mayor?"

Is it the town’s responsibility?”

"You know?!" The white-haired mayor was stunned for a moment and looked at Ji Xiaoyan again in surprise.

"Of course I know." Ji Xiaoyan nodded without hesitation and said solemnly: "The mayor of Qiyun Town has already told me everything. It is for this reason that I agreed to help him find the other three towns.

Protected with all my heart."

The white-haired mayor looked at Ji Xiaoyan blankly. After a while, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "After so many years, the mainland has been peaceful, and our four towns have also begun to decline. I'm afraid it won't be long before this responsibility is gone.

It will slowly dissipate over time until it dies. Apart from this responsibility, we have no value at all. Why would City Lord Ji be willing to protect us? This is a typical case of buying and selling at a loss!"

Having said this, the eyes of the white-haired mayor and the other aborigines in the town showed endless sadness.

It's not that they never thought about being protected by other towns, but after so many years, the mayors who had protected them cynicically drove them away after discovering that they really had no value.

Time and time again, they have been hurt and tired!!
