The city walls of Luo Hua City were so tall that they pierced through the clouds. The city gates were made of meteoric iron, which was extraordinarily sturdy! Not only would it not rust over the years, but it also acted like a giant magnet, absorbing all the weapons of the intruders.
However, the two gates were tightly shut. There was only one gate at the side, which allowed only one person to enter at a time.
In front of the city walls was a wide and deep moat. The moat was not flowing with flowing water, but red lava that could corrode anything. If any creature fell into it, it would melt and disappear immediately.
When Gu Xijiu led the group of more than a hundred people to the city walls, it was already sunset. Behind them, there was the roar of a beast coming from the dense forest.
The guard at the city gate looked down at Gu Xijiu and the others as if they were a group of beggars. "Go, go. We only recruit people with great or special abilities. We don't want beggars. Leave this place as soon as possible!"
The old clan leader took a deep breath and took two steps forward. "Sir, we are originally from Luo Hua City. We were forced to leave because of some matters. Now, we are returning …"
"I don't care who you are. If you want to enter the city, you must have a spiritual crystal. Twenty for one, and no less!" The guard looked at them with disdain. Obviously, he did not take the villagers seriously. He did not believe that they could afford the spiritual crystal.
The old clan leader could not afford it at this time because Di Fuyi and Gu Xijiu had not returned from hunting beasts.
Last night, Di Fuyi sent Gu Xijiu and the others to the hillside. After a short rest, he left to hunt beasts alone for spiritual crystals.
This morning, Gu Xijiu had been escorting the group until they were about ten miles away from Luo Hua City. The closer they got to Luo Hua City, the more sparse the vegetation became. The beasts that came out of their hiding place were also fewer and gentler.
At this point, with the help of Zhao Fengxing and many other experts, there was basically no danger.
As it was already evening, Gu Xijiu did not see Di Fuyi's shadow yet. She was worried, so she reminded the others of a few things and then went back to look for Di Fuyi.
Therefore, the old clan leader and the others led the group.
Zhao Fengxing and the others were holding the line at the back. When they heard the commotion, they ran to the front. They looked up at the guard on the tower and said in a loud voice, "Don't worry. We will have Spiritual Crystals. You will get your share!"
Zhao Fengxing and the others had witnessed their abilities before, so they were confident that they would be able to hunt for the red crystals.
The guard at the gate recognized Zhao Fengxing. After all, Amaterasu Fengxing and his people had come to seek shelter before. He looked at Zhao Fengxing and said, "Since when did you guys start mingling with these beggars? Could it be that the few of you didn't manage to get any Spirit Crystals and wanted to get a bunch of beggars to win my sympathy and let you in? Let me tell you, there's no way! "
Zhao Fengxing did not want to waste any more time with the snobbish official. He took out the red crystal and said, "We have already hunted one!"
The red crystal shone brightly. The guard looked down and said, "Alright, you have some skills. The twelve of you can enter, but the others can't!"
Zhao Fengxing frowned. "Didn't you say that one red crystal could bring 20 people in?"
"Alright, then you can pick eight people from these poor beggars!"
