Big!
Huge!
Enormous!
These were Su Huai's first impressions of the Chaos City Lord.
Amidst mountains made of white bones, a sky-piercing serpent, thousands of meters long and seemingly endless, lay coiled in black and red hues.
Its cold, vertical pupils swept over Su Huai, lingering on him for a while.
Then, slowly, it shifted its gaze to Gu Fushi.
Just that brief moment was enough to soak Su Huai's back with cold sweat.
This was a domain.
A domain entirely belonging to the Chaos City Lord!
"Miss Gu Fushi, we meet again to trouble you."
The serpent lowered its head.
It was then that Su Huai saw a bizarre rune as red as magma branded on its forehead.
This rune was the source of the curse.
Constantly searing the Chaos City Lord's flesh and soul, eroding every bit of its accumulated power.
Gu Fushi nodded slightly, walked to the front of the serpent's head, extended her palm, lightly tapped around the bizarre rune, then closed her eyes and began to dispel the pain brought by the rune.
According to her own words.
Her healing authority had not yet transformed into a law, and could not expel the curse left by the domain god.
But once every ten years, she could temporarily suppress the curse's erosion, alleviating some of the Chaos City Lord's pain and pressure.
Su Huai withdrew his gaze and waited with his hands in his pockets.
He didn't believe what Gu Fushi said.
Because not long ago, Gu Fushi had revealed that she could heal the injuries of a domain-level strongman.
What's more, what the Chaos City Lord had on it was just a curse left by a domain god who had been dead for who knows how long.
If this couldn't be solved, then Gu Fushi wouldn't be qualified to be invited to join the Origin Association as a "doctor."
The reason for delaying and not completely curing the Chaos City Lord's injuries might be, in addition to the continuous collection of consultation fees and fishing for the Chaos City...
There should be some deeper schemes.
Poor Chaos City, these two fools are completely manipulated by Gu Fushi.
Su Huai quietly tapped the little snake ring hidden under his sleeve, completely concealing all breath, like a dead object.
"Mr. Su."
Chi Ye appeared beside Su Huai at some point.
Above its head, there were two branches floating, one big and one small, as smooth as jade.
The big one was as thick as a child's arm, and the small one was about the size of a finger.
"These are the new buds of the Dao Yan Tree."
"The longer one is the consultation fee that Miss Gu Fushi deserves for being invited this time."
"The other one is the reward for Mr. Su becoming the overlord of the Destruction Arena."
"My father's condition, as the actual ruler of Chaos City, I must consider the interests of Chaos City. I hope Mr. Su can understand the unpleasant things before."
Su Huai took a deep look at Chi Ye, then put on a flattered posture, raised his hands, and took the two branches.
Anyway, there are no big contradictions.
If others give face, then take it.
He was very clear in his heart that Chi Ye, a domain master, was so humble and friendly to him, a small town-country boundary, entirely because of the face of the Origin Association.
After all, no matter how good a talent is, as long as it hasn't grown up, it is just a talent.
The Dao Yan City branch was warm in the hand, and as soon as it came into contact with the skin, one could feel an extremely pure energy of heaven and earth pouring into the body.
Even if you feed a pig with this level of heavenly material every day, it is estimated that it can break through all the way, at least reaching the realm of the venerable, or even the pseudo-emperor.
Completely refining this small section of the branch, not to mention ascending on the spot, at least it can greatly shorten the time for Su Huai to break through to the middle of the town-country boundary.
And there will be no side effects.
Taking advantage of the relaxed atmosphere, Su Huai took the initiative to raise the topic and asked Chi Ye about some news of the Mist Tower, as well as matters needing attention when entering the tower.
Chi Ye did not refuse, and it can be said to be all-encompassing.
This treatment lasted until seven days later.
When Gu Fushi dispersed his authority and returned to Su Huai's side with a plain face, the physical condition of the Chaos City Lord was completely rejuvenated compared to before the treatment.
The blood and qi were surging, no longer in decline.
Although this state will not last long, it is enough to deal with the upcoming crisis in the desert.
The Mist Tower!
As mentioned before, the Mist Tower is not a private property of Chaos City.
Chaos City only has a safer way to enter the tower.
The Mist Tower opens once every ten years, and every time, in addition to a large number of creatures rushing to the center of the desert to try their luck, Chaos City will also welcome a group of special guests.
These guests mostly come from some ancient tribes, who are the outstanding disciples of those tribes, standing behind powerful forces that Chaos City cannot refuse.
They only need to pay a very small price to successfully take the Chaos City's ride and enter the Mist Tower for experience.
Of course, this relationship has its pros and cons.
The benefit is that with this relationship, at least Chaos City will not make enemies on all sides, and those forces who covet the Dao Yan Tree have to consider some influence.
There are also disadvantages.
That is, this cooperative relationship is always based on the strong strength of the Chaos City Lord.
If one day the Chaos City Lord is completely eroded by the curse, or falls from the peak of the domain master, these once friendly forces will instantly become the fiercest wolves.
The Chaos City Lord needs to maintain the most domineering posture in front of them, which is also the reason why he is willing to pay a big price to invite Gu Fushi to treat his injuries every ten years, and briefly return to the peak period.
"Chi Ye."
"The curse on your father has been temporarily contained. Just take a rest, and it can suppress the curse for a short time without recurrence."
After hearing this, Chi Ye bowed to Gu Fushi to express his gratitude, and Gu Fushi nodded in response: "If there is nothing else, let's go out first. Just let us know when it's time to start for the Mist Tower."
"Miss Gu Fushi, take your time."
After leaving the snake's nest, Su Huai found that the streets of the inner city, which were still quiet seven days ago, have now added some unfamiliar creatures.
With a strong appearance and high spirit.
Most of them are the younger generation, followed by a few attendants.
"Take a look, these are the so-called outstanding disciples of various tribes, who will be sent to the Mist Tower for experience in a few days."
After several meetings, Gu Fushi also caught Su Huai's bad habit, and the two of them, one person and one elf, wandered aimlessly on the street with their hands in their pockets.
Su Huai followed Gu Fushi's line of sight and scanned around, only to find that most of these so-called outstanding disciples were only emperors, or even venerable beings.
It was only then that he suddenly realized.
He had already stepped out of the category of "talented people" and did not belong to the younger generation in this brilliant world.
His opponents are the pillars of various tribes, and his vision has begun to chase those domain-level strongmen who have not appeared for a long time.
A beauty of Gu Fushi's level will become the focus wherever she goes.
Most of the eyes, after passing over Gu Fushi, will stay on Su Huai beside her, either envious, jealous, or showing a faint disdain.
Su Huai doesn't care.
Anyway, they are not looking at his wife, as long as they don't come to find trouble, they can look as they please.
"Su Huai!?"
Suddenly, a slightly hoarse roar came from a tavern on the street corner.
"Scoundrel! You really made us wait for a long time!"
