"Yes, I've heard of the problem you mentioned."
Seeing Du Feng suddenly descend, Tian Yan was also taken aback. It seemed that the Protective Array of Stony Plain City was no longer effective against him. He had ignored the no-fly order and broken in without knowing it. People who had been to the Seven Basaltic Mansions were indeed different. Their strength had far surpassed those of his friends.
The appearance of the poisonous lizards was a good thing for Stony Plain City in the short term. Because of their appearance, the number of monsters west of the border had been greatly reduced. This reduced the probability of a monster tide attack, and the soldiers of Stony Plain City would have fewer sacrifices.
But in the long run, the poisonous lizards would enter the South Continent sooner or later, and the first place to be affected would be Stony Plain City. If all the Monstrous Beasts here were to die, the human martial artists would face a problem, and that was, there would be no meat to eat. Once the food chain was destroyed, there would be more than just no meat to eat. Without birds to catch insects, the crops would suffer from pests, and many herbs and spirit fruit trees would not survive.
At present, the poisonous lizards had not entered the South Continent, so the higher-ups did not pay much attention to them. Even if Tian Yan reported this matter to the higher-ups, they would not take it to heart. Because it was the problem of Stony Plain City, not the whole South Continent. As the city lord, he should find a way to solve it himself instead of reporting everything to the higher-ups.
Now the higher-ups did not pay attention to the poisonous lizards, but once they entered Stony Plain City, it would be a disaster. The number of them would be overwhelming, and it would be too late to pay attention to it.
"I think it's better to do this."
Du Feng could understand the mentality of the higher-ups. If they had to deal with everything, they would not be considered as officials. Moreover, people had a common problem, which was that they would not care about things that did not concern them. No one was willing to meddle in other people's business.
So he gave a suggestion, which was to arrange a large number of firearms at the border. The so-called firearms referred to all fire-based attacks. For example, fire walls, fireballs, fire pillars, fire talismans, and so on, because the poisonous lizards were afraid of fire.
There was another way, which was to cut down all the trees near the border and make it a real desert, without a single plant. This sounded like destruction, but in fact, it was to block the route of the poisonous lizards.
That was because those poisonous lizards relied on green plants to survive. Without these green plants, they would have no habitat. As long as they cut off this habitat, they might not be able to reproduce in Stony Plain City. If they couldn't cross the Stony Plain City, they wouldn't be able to enter the Southern Continent's territory.
"Good, that's a good idea."
When Tian Yan heard Du Feng's suggestion, he could not help but clap his hands in praise. Cutting off the poisonous lizard's habitat was definitely a good way to nip the problem in the bud. The poisonous lizards were powerful, but they also needed a place to live. As long as the place where they lived was destroyed, they would naturally migrate to a more suitable place, such as the depths of the Western Continent. That was the city of the poison cultivators. Let them fight against the poison lizards.
To help Tian Yan and to benefit the people of Stone Plain City. Du Feng decided to stay for the time being to arrange the defense line at the border. He was an Array Master and knew how to make talismans. In just a few days, a long Fire Wall was set up at the border. As long as the poisonous lizards dared to approach, they would be greeted by a sky full of fire.
"Brother, you're leaving so soon? Stay a few more days."
"That's right, brother. Stay a few more days."
Xiao Qianqian and Xiao Chengjiang could not bear for Du Feng to leave. The brother and sister were living in the Du Residence now, but they could not see Du Feng in person, so they missed him very much.
"Big brother, stay and play with me."
Feng Zhiyuan had grown from a little boy to a big boy, but he still liked to play with Du Feng.
"Let's go back, everyone. We'll meet again in the future."
With so many friends urging him to stay, Du Feng also wanted to stay for a few more days. After all, he had stayed in Stony Plain City for a long time, and it could be said that he had made a fortune here. He had also fought against the beast tide with the city guards, so he had a deep attachment to this place.
However, his Cultivation was still low, and there was a powerful enemy force like the Nangong Family. Furthermore, the matter of Shangguan Yun and his father, the Alchemy Emperor, had not been resolved. If he stayed and lived a peaceful life, his Cultivation progress would definitely slow down. He did not know when he would be able to go to the Cloud Capital of the Never-Ending Continent.
Ever since he saw the location of the Never-Ending Continent in the star chart, Du Feng's desire to go to the Cloud Capital increased. He wanted to become stronger. Only by becoming stronger could he go to the Never-Ending Continent. Only when he reached the Never-Ending Continent would he have the opportunity to enter the Cloud Capital.
"Let's go. Don't send me off, everyone."
The crowd sent Du Feng to the entrance of the City Lord's Residence before reluctantly leaving. Du Feng followed Tian Yan into the City Lord's Residence. Using the special teleportation array, he quickly teleported to the Thousand Moon Nation's Wind City. He could not be bothered to stop at Wind City before teleporting to Star-Moon City. Instead, he took out the Hexagram Staff and secretly cheated. He jumped from one space-time tunnel to another. After two consecutive teleportations, he appeared in Star-Moon City.
At this moment, Du Feng had long since shed his disguise. The guards of Star-Moon City all recognized him and knew that he was a student of the Seven Basaltic Mansions. Hence, when they saw him appear, no one questioned him at all. Du Feng did not report back to the Seven Basaltic Mansions, nor did he tell Cang Jingsong about his return. Instead, he went directly to the headquarters of the Earth Ranking Tournament's organizer, Star-Moon Hall. The person who received him was still the same old man.
"Young man, who are you challenging this time?"
When the Star-Moon Hall Elder saw Du Feng, he was so happy that he could not close his mouth. This was because every time Du Feng participated in the tournament, he would attract a large number of spectators to place their bets. The Star-Moon Hall could take the opportunity to make a fortune.
"I want to challenge the first-place Killing God …"
Huh? Du Feng wanted to say that he wanted to challenge the first-place Killing God, Bai Qi. However, someone had already challenged him tonight. The person who had challenged the first-place Killing God, Bai Qi, was the former second-place Heavy Cannoneer, Yuan Gang. From his nickname, it could be seen that he was a guy with a strong physique. He was called Heavy Cannoneer because his hands were especially large. He was more than two meters tall, and his body was larger than the average person. However, his hands were even more special. When he clenched his fists, they were the size of wine jars.
This person's warbeast was a Golden-backed Ape. His arm strength was especially strong, and his fists were like True Origin Cannons firing continuously. Hence, he was nicknamed Heavy Cannoneer. When fighting with him, one absolutely could not stand still. Otherwise, if one was attacked by his fists continuously, one would no longer have the chance to counterattack.
