It took Zhang Tie half an hour to pass through the tunnel-like city gate from Emperor NvWa City to the inner part of the city.
Zhang Tie walked leisurely. Many young people who came to Emperor NvWa City for the first time couldn't stand running towards the entrance of the city.
Half an hour later, Zhang Tie finally brightened his eyes as he walked out of the tunnel and entered Emperor NvWa City.
In front of Zhang Tie was a square which covered about 1 square mile. The ground of the square was paved with bluestones. A broad avenue surrounded the square, forming a huge circular island, which extended from south, north and east to the distance. In the distance, Zhang Tie saw undulating mountains and villages.
Before he came to Motian Realm, Xuanyuan Hill was already the largest city that Zhang Tie could imagine. However, the entire Xuanyuan Hill only covered over 1 million square miles. By contrast, Emperor NvWa City was 10 times larger than Xuanyuan Hill. Over 400 million people lived in Emperor NvWa City. Emperor NvWa City could almost be a country.
The one who came in by the lizard vehicle had long been driving it towards afar. The lizard vehicle that Zhang Tie saw at the entrance of the city gate had long disappeared. Bian Heng the Yama, the Yama, was heading for Tigerback Mountain.
The square was crowded. Those young people who entered Emperor NvWa City for the first time were gathering in the front square and wandering around as they watched this legendary Emperor NvWa City out of curiosity.
There was a business district in the center of the square. There was food, clothing, housing, and everything else. It was quite lively. There seemed to be a few car dealerships in the business district. Big cars kept coming out from there, and some people directly left on flying lizards.
In the surroundings of the business district, there were many people holding up signs and shouting loudly to recruit people.
Zhang Tie took in a deep breath. The moment he entered Emperor NvWa City, he had felt that the air in Emperor NvWa City was two times more fresh than that outside. If a person could live in such an environment all year round, his physique would definitely be a bit stronger.
Zhang Tie looked up and found white clouds were drifting in the sky. However, Zhang Tie felt an invisible bizarre energy covering the entire Emperor NvWa City. The energy was spreading from the city wall of Emperor NvWa City in all directions, forming an invisible barrier in the sky. As long as someone passed through the barrier in the sky, he would be sensed and might be attacked by some hidden means on the city wall.
When he passed through the tunnel of the city gate just now, Zhang Tie had felt that those flowing runes in the tunnel were special. He had passed through many scans before entering Emperor NvWa City.
As the forbidden area of demons, Emperor NvWa City was indeed extraordinary. 'But I don't know whether these means could discover those people of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace being controlled by Golden-Soul Rune Virus.'
"Uncle, the map of Emperor NvWa City …" When Zhang Tie was looking at Emperor NvWa City and thinking about it, he felt his clothes corner being pulled by someone. At the same time, a spirited 11-12 year old boy had already come to Zhang Tie's side from the crowd. At the same time, he was promoting a rolled-up map of Emperor NvWa City to Zhang Tie with a pair of shiny black eyes.
Zhang Tie replied with a smile as he asked politely, "How much?"
Although Zhang Tie had copied the map of Motian Realm in his mind, that map couldn't match the map of Emperor NvWa City in detail.
"One purple crystal coin for one …" the little boy immediately told Zhang Tie.
Given the area of Emperor NvWa City, this price was already very high.
"It's a bit expensive!" Zhang Tie watched the boy seriously as he asked in a muffled voice, "Do you know the way to Tigerback Mountain?"
"If you buy a map from me, you will know the way to Tigerback Mountain. Without a map, it's not easy for you to find a place in such a large city!" The boy continued to instigate Zhang Tie to buy his map, "Are you going to Tigerback Mountain for medical treatment or learning skills?"
"Ahh, you really know that?" Zhang Tie asked as he took a look at the boy with an amazed look.
"Of course, those who come to Emperor NvWa City and want to go to Tigerback Mountain are basically going there for medical treatment or learning skills. However, as too many people are going there, you'd better hurry up. It's not worthwhile to waste time on the way." The boy sniffed as he raised that map in front of Zhang Tie.
"Fine, I will buy your map …" Zhang Tie pretended to think about it for a second as he took out a purple crystal coin and bought that map from the boy.
After taking Zhang Tie's purple crystal coin, the boy ran away in a split second.
Zhang Tie opened the map and glanced over it. Closely after that, he had been clear about the topography of Emperor NvWa City. Tigerback Mountain was only over 600 miles away from here. There was an avenue leading to Tigerback Mountain. As long as he identified the right way, he would arrive there easily. Not until then did Zhang Tie understand why the boy ran away the moment he got the money. It turned out that the boy was afraid that Zhang Tie would regret.
Zhang Tie replied with a smile as he put away the map. After identifying the right direction, he left at once.
After passing by that huge square, Zhang Tie came to an avenue in Emperor NvWa City. The so-called avenues in Emperor NvWa City were all smooth bluestone roads which were wider than 50 m. Zhang Tie didn't know how they were built. On both sides of the road, there were green trees. Additionally, there were pavilions for people to take a rest in every certain distance. On the avenue, some people were riding vehicles; some were riding flying lizards; some were running a bit slower than flying lizards.
People in Motian Realm were born to be equal to LV 9 fighters in Taixia Country. Therefore, besides riding mounts, people could also run. Many people directly started to run on the road. An adult could run 400-500 miles a day. As long as they didn't slack off, it would only take them 10 days to pass by Emperor NvWa City from south to north or from west to east.
Many people could even chat with their partners while running.
Zhang Tie also joined the crowd. He just ran towards Tigerback Mountain at a normal speed.
…
In the evening, after passing by many villages and towns, Zhang Tie had already run over 300 miles. When the night fell, few people could be seen on the road. Many people had already stayed in hotels and inns on the way and prepared to spend the night there. However, Zhang Tie didn't stop. He prepared to rush over the night and arrive at Tigerback Mountain before daybreak.
It was really nothing for Zhang Tie, not even a drizzle. On the way here, Zhang Tie felt like taking a stroll and appreciating the scenery. As for Zhang Tie, such pure running reminded him of the days when he attended survival training in Blackhot City when he could run in the valley and the wild at his own will. It was a special pleasure.
It seemed that the God didn't want Zhang Tie to be too comfortable. The moment it turned dark, a thunder had sounded in the sky. Closely after that, bean-sized raindrops had started to fall.
In the dark night, when the rain fell and the water vapor rose, the road became misty. Only when lightning flashed across the night sky did the night suddenly turn white.
Right in front of Zhang Tie, a lizard vehicle had collapsed on the roadside. One of its wheels had left the carriage. The two majestic flying lizards had been tied to a tree on one side. The tough man that Zhang Tie saw just now was squatting on the ground with an anxious look. Wet all over, he was fiddling with the wheel in an embarrassed way. Under a big tree on the roadside, a middle-aged woman was hiding from the rain with an umbrella and a woman in white skirt.
The woman in the white dress wore a bamboo hat on her head. A layer of white gauze hung down from the bamboo hat, completely covering her face. Even so, when the woman stood under the tree, she still had an indescribable temperament. In the misty rain, she was like a lily in a secluded valley, peerless and independent.
Before Zhang Tie arrived here, the tough man who was repairing the vehicle on the roadside had already noticed him. The tough man then picked up his two broad axes and glared at Zhang Tie.
At the beginning, Zhang Tie didn't stop; instead, he directly ran over there. The tough man slightly became relaxed as he slightly lowered his huge ax. However, after running dozens of meters, Zhang Tie suddenly stopped. Closely after that, he turned around and trotted towards those people.
Watching Zhang Tie walking towards him, the tough man who was holding the huge ax became tense as he slightly raised the blade of the huge ax, which indicated that he was going to attack Zhang Tie.
However, it seemed that Zhang Tie didn't notice the tough man's reaction and vigilance. Instead, he squatted down and looked at the vehicle seriously, "The ball inside the axle of the vehicle is broken. As a result, the bushing was broken, causing the left and right wheels to be unbalanced. Finally, one of the wheels almost ran out. There should be a tool for repairing the vehicle. Let me have a look at it …"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, the tough man became slightly stunned. Closely after that, he put down his huge ax silently as he pushed a toolbox in front of Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie opened the toolbox and took out some tools. After that, he started to replace the axle on the ground. After that, he moved it skillfully and took off the bearings on the axle. After that, he disassembled the bearings and removed the balls from them using special tools. After cleaning them by cloth, he picked out the broken balls. After that, he found some good balls from the spare tools and replaced them one by one. After that, he oiled them and put them into the bearings one after another.
It was still raining. As Zhang Tie was repairing the vehicle, the raindrops fell onto Zhang Tie's body. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie's clothes had been wet.
"Aunt Wu, cover this childe from the rain. I won't be wet …" the woman in a veil said gloomily. After throwing a glance at her, the middle-aged woman on her side moved to the front of Zhang Tie and covered Zhang Tie's head with an umbrella.
Zhang Tie was fixing the vehicle attentively. This problem was just a piece of cake for Zhang Tie. Even though Zhang Tie was an immortal craftsman who could create a mechanical civilization bare-handed, he could still easily fix such a small problem when he was a soldier in Norman Empire, not to mention that he was already an immortal craftsman who could create a mechanical civilization bare-handed.
The development route of Motian Realm didn't pay much attention to machines. Therefore, the chassis and wheels of this vehicle were relatively simple. Additionally, the shock absorber was very rough. There were only two components commonly known as shoulder beam at the bottom of the vehicle. In Taixia Country where Zhang Tie came from, this kind of component was used on trucks. It was very low-level. It was not easy for such a vehicle to have a wheel structure with metal bearing bushing.
In Zhang Tie's eyes, the structure of this vehicle was not as complex as the toys of his sons at home. It was too simple. However, in the eyes of the others, watching Zhang Tie deftly fixing the parts of the vehicle and fixing the defective parts, they felt that he was performing a magic trick. Therefore, all of them were amazed.
In the beginning, the tough man watched Zhang Tie with a bit vigilance; gradually, the vigilance in his eyes disappeared as he started to coordinate with Zhang Tie on one side.
Only after a few minutes, Zhang Tie had fixed the fallen items and reassembled them. Additionally, he had adjusted the two shock-absorbing shoulder pole beams. After that, he had the sturdy man lift the 1-2 ton vehicle. After that, he reassembled the wheel that had fallen on the ground.
After rummaging through the toolbox on the vehicle, Zhang Tie raised his head and told the tough man, "Sh * t, there's no spare axle bushing here. If not, this wheel would fall off. Where's the original axle bushing?"
"Ah, bushing? What bushing?" the tough man asked with a confused look.
Zhang Tie shook his head as he gave up explaining it to him. It seemed that this tough man knew nothing about mechanics. Therefore, it was useless for him to explain it to him. Therefore, Zhang Tie directly asked, "Where did you find the problem?"
"It's in front of us, on the road a few miles away …" the one who had been silent helped Zhang Tie.
"The broken bushing should have fallen on the roadside. Wait a second, I will take a look back..." After saying that, Zhang Tie directly rushed into the rain and ran back to the original road before the tough man said anything.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Tie had already rushed back, wet all over. However, he was holding a deformed and broken part of the vehicle.
Zhang Tie found a hammer from the toolbox. After knocking it for a while, the deformed and broken bushing gradually became regular. After that, Zhang Tie fixed the bushing on the vehicle.
"This bushing has been broken. It can't run for long. However, it should be fine in a couple of days. When you arrive at the inn or pass by those villages and towns, I will find someone to change a new one for you!" Zhang Tie said as he packed those tools into the toolbox and put them under the bottom of the vehicle.
"Thanks a lot …" the tough man told Zhang Tie seriously. At this moment, the tough man had confirmed that Zhang Tie was not that kind of evil person.
"You're welcome. It's just a small favor …" Zhang Tie said as he prepared to leave.
"As far as I know, this road leads to Tigerback Mountain. Childe, are you also going to Tigerback Mountain?" the woman with a veil opened her mouth again.
"Right, I'm going to Tigerback Mountain too!"
"It's raining. It's already late. If you don't mind, you could follow us to Tigerback Mountain by carriage for a while. We're also heading for Tigerback Mountain …" the veiled woman said calmly. Aunt Wu wanted to say something; however, after being glanced at by the veiled woman, she became silent.
The tough man didn't oppose it. It seemed that he thought that Zhang Tie could find someone to solve the problem if something happened to the vehicle. Additionally, he felt that Zhang Tie's battle strength was not a threat to him. Therefore, he became relaxed.
Zhang Tie threw a glance at that young lady as he replied with a frank smile, "Fine, thanks for your hospitality …"
…
After fixing the vehicle, the tough man continued to drive it. However, Zhang Tie, that young lady and that young lady called Aunt Wu got in the vehicle.
With a crack of the whip, the tough man set up the lizard vehicle and started to run towards Tigerback Mountain once again …
