Chapter 119. The Current State of the Ancient Capital
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
"Rumble rumble rumble!!!"
The swamp centipede relentlessly pursued and attacked Mo Fan, but it discovered that no matter how it tried to attack, it couldn't touch him at all.
What's most infuriating is that he occasionally throws out a fire or lightning strike that doesn't do much damage.
It's fair to say that this is extremely provocative!
"Gah!!!"
Soon, Mo Fan lured the swamp centipede to a valley, which was where the giant lizard was located.
The moment he lured it over, Mo Fan saw the black flesh mountain lizard appear!
However, it was larger than the swamp centipede, but its injuries were obviously more severe.
Two colossal creatures, powerful enough to turn this quagmire upside down, were about to collide. But at the same moment, their gazes were locked onto Mo Fan.
"Wings of the Wind!"
"Whoosh!"
Mo Fan unfurled a pair of wings on his back, and in the next moment, he flew directly out of the valley.
Of course, the moment he flew out of the valley, he disappeared from their sight. But in reality, Mo Fan never left; he merely used his shadow to evade them.
His reason for doing so was, of course, to ensure that his plan was successful.
If those two don't fight, wouldn't this whole month have been wasted?
In fact, Mo Fan was overthinking things. The swamp centipede had a grudge against the giant lizard, and seeing the giant lizard so badly injured, it naturally didn't want to let this opportunity pass.
Almost the instant Mo Fan disappeared, it pounced on him.
The giant lizard roared repeatedly, already humiliated by a human, and now it had encountered an old adversary.
Moreover, this stinky centipede actually dared to rush up?
Let's do it!
However, the giant lizard overlooked one thing: it had been severely injured by Mo Fan in various ways, and at this moment, it was seriously disabled.
As soon as the fight began, the giant lizard found itself powerless and was even injured in various ways by the dead centipede.
At this moment, the giant lizard wanted to escape, but the swamp centipede had finally found a chance to kill it, so how could it let it escape?
The final result was natural and unsurprising: the swamp centipede defeated the giant lizard and even enhanced its own strength.
"Gah!!!"
Just as it was showing off its power, Mo Fan directly collected the remnant soul of the Martial Shell Giant Lizard.
"???"
The swamp centipede was greatly alarmed to see the humans who had previously lured it there reappear.
However, after taking in the remnant soul, Mo Fan left without even glancing at it.
A swamp centipede of this caliber naturally possesses intelligence, and at this moment, it seemed to have suffered a great humiliation.
However, its injuries have worsened considerably, and it needs more Lizard-Skull Giants to heal. Therefore, it has temporarily chosen to back down.
To be honest, these two commander-level monsters are worth a lot of money, but there's nothing we can do, the lizard-headed giants in Dongting Lake are just too rampant.
If there is no natural enemy, there will surely be another major disaster within three to five years.
Otherwise, let alone such a good opportunity, Mo Fan could have easily killed them earlier!
But regardless, having killed off a large number of them and created a natural enemy for the lizard race, while not being able to completely wipe out these lizard-headed giants, curbing their growth is still no problem.
The matter of Dongting Lake has come to an end. After it was resolved, Mo Fan returned to the city.
Although he didn't receive any gold coins from the Commander-level shop, he still obtained a lot of valuable materials and resources during his time at Dongting Lake.
After selling them all, at least Little Flame Princess's milk powder money won't be a problem anymore.
But after returning, Mo Fan still helped Lingling clear out all the bounties. Every time they returned from an outing, the Qingtian Hunting Grounds would always have some unprocessed bounties.
However, these kinds of events that can withstand the wait usually don't offer large rewards.
After finishing with these bounties, Mo Fan received the expected message from the ancient capital's defense forces. The message stated that the monkey was in trouble and its fate was currently unknown.
Knowing his situation, Mo Fan wasn't too worried, but he still called Liu Ru and headed straight for the ancient capital.
The clouds were as thick as black velvet, blocking out all the sunlight.
Without rain, the world was gloomy, and the gray and withered colors of the season made it devoid of any life.
The last passenger plane slowly descended from the dark clouds, signifying that the last wave of travelers daring to venture to the ancient capital amidst the chaos of the undead had arrived in this land of turmoil.
"Even flights are going to be suspended. Luckily, we caught the last one." After getting off the plane, Liu Ru couldn't help but sigh.
Her eyes, with a touch of intelligence, surveyed Xi'an Xianyang International Airport.
To be honest, this was Liu Ru's first time traveling so far from home. She wanted to experience an ancient capital city with a completely different atmosphere from the international metropolis of Shanghai.
"Excuse me, but every passenger landing must show their identification and state their purpose," a uniformed person stopped the two at the exit and said sternly.
"She's on vacation. This is my mistress; I can't reveal her identity," Mo Fan replied directly.
Liu Ru didn't take it seriously, because what she was doing every day was essentially being a mistress.
The man in uniform froze, never having seen someone bring their mistress out so brazenly.
But since Mo Fan and Liu Ruren had already left, he didn't press the matter further, after all, there were other people present.
Upon returning to the ancient capital, I found that it had indeed undergone tremendous changes. Now, an even larger outer city wall had been built outside the inner city wall, with a diameter about five times that of the inner city wall. People who were originally scattered in different districts and suburbs had all been asked to relocate to the area within this outer city wall.
"This is the first time I've ever seen such a grand scale of security." Liu Ru looked up at the outer walls that stretched like mountain ridges.
"There's also a huge security barrier here," Mo Fan said.
The ancient capital's security perimeter is capable of accommodating millions of people.
This is something that no other major city has in terms of security.
After passing through the heavily guarded outer city wall, the situation inside the city wall was not bad, no different from other cities. However, because people from different suburbs had gathered in these few districts, the streets were particularly bustling and lively.
Having lived in the ancient capital himself, Mo Fan could understand these people's feelings. They probably all felt that with the Guardian Mage protecting them, even if there was danger, it wouldn't threaten the city.
Mo Fan first took Liu Ru to the Clock Tower Magic Association, then to the Hunter Alliance, and finally met the dwarf man, paying for the ride.
He himself naturally knew the way to Huacun.
The problem is that there's no grey garlic available right now. This seems to be due to recent events, or perhaps other reasons.
Without the gray garlic, he could only look for the short man, and also to get to know Asha'ruya.
