After sorting out his current situation and setting his goal, Xiao Chen left his courtyard.
He felt that there was a need to understand the current situation in South Dingnan City.
At present, his understanding of South Dingnan City was still in a state of complete ignorance.
He called out to Da Huang and Chen Hao. Originally, he had planned to call Mo Qing as well. However, Mo Qing was not in his courtyard.
Given Mo Qing's status, she might have her own matters to attend to. Therefore, Xiao Chen did not want to disturb her.
"Let's go for a stroll in the city!" Xiao Chen said.
To put it bluntly, he wanted to stroll around South Dingnan City and understand the situation there.
Naturally, Da Huang and Chen Hao agreed to this suggestion.
However, Xiao Chen's team of three quickly discovered that South Dingnan City was indeed different from the cities in the Immortal World.
They rarely saw other people.
The entire city appeared very quiet.
Occasionally, they would see some people dressed in battle robes. Moreover, all of them seemed to be in a hurry.
After strolling around for half a day, they were unable to find any useful information.
Moreover, there were many places in the city with restrictions. There were many places that they could not even go to.
"Why does this place feel like a ghost city?" Da Huang rolled his eyes.
Xiao Chen and Chen Hao exchanged glances. This South Dingnan City was indeed too quiet.
Moreover, there were no inns, restaurants or other similar places that ordinary cities should have. The entire South Dingnan City gave them a very strange feeling.
It felt like a dilapidated ancient city that was cut off from the rest of the world.
If it were not for the fact that they could see groups of guards standing at the entrances of certain special buildings, this huge city would indeed look like a ghost city.
Xiao Chen's team had also tried to enter the special buildings guarded by guards. However, they were stopped before they could even get close.
The guards at the entrances immediately chased them away.
"What the hell? We worked so hard to get a place to enter. Is this what they get? "Chen Hao was no longer as excited as before. Instead, he appeared somewhat dispirited.
The situation in South Dingnan City was simply too different from what they had imagined.
They had thought that there would be countless treasures and opportunities that would allow them to quickly increase their cultivation and strength. But now, it seemed that they had basically been abandoned and forgotten.
There were only the three of them wandering around the entire street like ghosts.
There wasn't even an extra person to be seen.
Chen Hao had even shamelessly tried to befriend the guards, but to no avail.
In the end, this guy had no choice but to give up dejectedly.
"Did you notice? Although most of the places in the city are forbidden and we can't get close or even see what's going on inside, the places guarded by guards don't seem to be forbidden. It's just that we don't have the right to enter." However, Xiao Chen and the others did not give up. After strolling around the city for two or three days, Xiao Chen discovered something different.
It wasn't that there weren't any idlers in the city, it was just that there were too few of them.
In the past two to three days, they had only seen five or six.
However, those five or six people were able to enter and exit the special building guarded by guards.
"Big Brother, what you mean is that we are newcomers, so we don't have the right to enter?" Da Huang blinked.
"I'm not sure either, but it should be. Also, did you notice that when the guards berated us, it wasn't to chase us away, but to say that we can't enter? Combined with the fact that those people can enter, it should be that we don't have the right to enter." Xiao Chen said slowly. He couldn't be sure, but he felt that his guess was most likely correct.
"That's really annoying. Even if we can't enter, shouldn't we at least explain the reason? We're like headless flies right now. "Da Huang was very dissatisfied.
Chen Hao also felt somewhat helpless. "My old man and your master both said that coming to South Dingnan City early would give us some benefits, but now it seems that there aren't any benefits at all."
As he said this, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed.
Before coming here, Elder Zhang had indeed said that coming to South Dingnan City early would give them some benefits, so it definitely wasn't just a lie to deceive them.
In that case, there must be some details that they hadn't noticed.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen remembered the first time he had met Gu Qingzhou, when he had given each of them five kilograms of the bird-type wild beast's flesh.
"The wild beast's flesh that Big Brother Gu gave us before, do you still have it?" Xiao Chen asked directly.
"Yes, I haven't even taken a bite of that thing," Chen Hao immediately said.
Da Huang nodded, indicating that he also had it.
Although Gu Qingzhou had said that they could eat half a kilogram in the wild forest, Xiao Chen and Da Huang were the same. They hadn't touched the flesh either.
So now, all three of them still had the five kilograms each.
"At that time, Big Brother Gu said that we would have to wait until we reached South Dingnan City to use the rest. Perhaps he didn't mean for us to eat it, but to use the flesh as a condition to trade with someone?" Xiao Chen said his speculation.
"Then what do you mean, Big Brother?" Da Huang was somewhat confused by Xiao Chen's words.
"You might not have noticed those special buildings guarded by guards. Although they look the same from the outside, there are actually some minute differences. Also, the five or six people we saw earlier had basically only entered two of those buildings, and when they entered, they seemed to have shown their identity medallions and spatial rings. So I boldly speculate that those two buildings might be used for trading. I think we can give it a try," Xiao Chen said slowly.
"This …" Chen Hao frowned, then said, "That doesn't seem unreasonable."
When they had approached the buildings guarded by guards, they had been reprimanded twice and hadn't tried again. Now that they heard Xiao Chen's analysis, they felt that it was possible.
"We haven't been to those two places before, so let's go take a look."
Without another word, Xiao Chen took the lead and walked over.
Da Huang and Chen Hao immediately followed by his side.
Xiao Chen randomly chose one of the buildings and approached it.
Although they were stopped by the guards, they weren't reprimanded like they had been in the other places. Instead, they were interrogated.
"Newcomers? Just arrived this year? "One of the guards could tell at a glance that Xiao Chen and the others were newcomers.
"This … Big Brother, your eyes are as sharp as a torch." Before Xiao Chen could say anything, Chen Hao saw that the guard was easier to talk to, so he immediately used his shameless spirit to strike up a conversation with the guard and tried to get close to him.
