The strongest system of the Three Kingdoms in the last days

Chapter 500 Doubt

After Nanshan City was promoted to Zhongcheng, it looked very magnificent, but compared with the ancient city in front of it, it suddenly became much weaker in terms of momentum.

Not to mention that its 30-meter-high city walls are already difficult to capture, and the extra urns outside the city gates on three sides have greatly increased the difficulty of breaking the city gates.

What's more, with primordial stones, the real defense method of the city is its built-in protective formation.

As for Guyuan City, judging from its scale, its grade must have surpassed that of Zhongcheng.

In this slightly barren Gobi land, it has not been affected by any environment, but instead bursts out with vigorous vitality.

In Guyuan City, millions of residents are doing what they should do as usual, and under the influence of strong vitality, each resident has more or less acquired two or three levels of strength.

Among them, there are many acquired eighty-nine levels and innate warriors, with arrogance on their faces.

The two central axes divide the city into four areas, and each area has countless streets criss-crossing, with many shops, and the sound of hawking and shouting is constantly spreading around.

It's just that the further you go, the quieter the street is, and there are fewer and fewer people on the road.

In the end, there were no residents of the city within a radius of hundreds of meters, only a powerful guard with a knife and a cold face.

This is the forbidden area of ​​Guyuan City - the City Lord's Mansion.

In the depths of the City Lord's Mansion, in a training room, a middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged on a futon with his eyes closed and practicing, holding a fist-sized primordial stone in each hand.

As he breathed, streams of strong vitality gathered in the primordial stone and around it, quickly pouring into his body.

On his body, a palpitating aura appeared and disappeared from time to time.

After an unknown amount of time, with the sound of "click", the two primordial stones that had lost their luster in the middle-aged man's hand suddenly shattered and fell to the ground one after another.

The middle-aged man seemed to sense it, and slowly opened his eyes.

All radiant, and then regained calm.

He looked down at the shattered primordial stone in his hand, frowned and muttered: "With the improvement of strength, the primordial stone is consumed faster and faster, but that place..."

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the closed door.

"Who?"

The middle-aged man looked away from the primordial stone fragments, looked at the door and said indifferently.

"Father, it's me, Yelu Xiongzhen."

"come in!"

creak!

As the door opened, a burly middle-aged man walked in from the outside.

The middle-aged man's name is Yelu Xiongzhen, and he is one of the sons of the man in the room, but if you don't consider the previous names, the two of them look like brothers.

Moreover, Yelu Xiong's real age is over fifty years old, but he looks a little younger because of his strength.

As for the man sitting cross-legged on the futon, it was Yelu Hongming, a true great martial artist!
Looking at Yelu Xiongzhen who came in, his expression softened a little, and he said, "Come here and see me for anything?"

"Father, due to the army's expenses, there are not many primordial stones in the city. In addition to the long-term practice of uncle, baby and others, the remaining primordial stones may not last long."

"The boy came here this time to ask his father, when will he send someone to the mine vein to collect primordial stones again?"

Reported by Yelu Xiong Zhenhui.

Are you running out of primordial stones?
Hearing Yelu Xiongzhen's words, Yelu Hongming was taken aback for a moment, and then his face sank.

His Yelu family had an adventure and obtained three primordial stone veins, which enabled him to bring the entire Outer Mengze Kingdom under his family's control in such a short period of time.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Yelu family is the king of Outer Mengze, and they must and dare not provoke them.

But Yelu Hongming knew that his Yelu family was facing an uncontrollable crisis. If he was not careful for a moment, the whole family might be wiped out in an instant!
Thinking of this, Yelu Hongming did not immediately answer Yelu Xiongzhen's words, but asked: "How many middle-grade primordial stones are left?"

"Because the army consumes all low-grade primordial stones, the mid-grade primordial stones collected last time were not consumed much, and now there are more than five hundred pieces left." Yelu Xiongzhen hurriedly replied.

Are there more than five hundred pieces left?

Should be enough for a while!

Hearing Yelu Xiongzhen's words, Yelu Hongming breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he pondered for a moment before saying: "In this case, let's send someone to mine the lower-grade primordial stones for a while, and let the matter of the middle-grade primordial stones go."

"However, what needs to be prepared still needs to be prepared. This time, you openly recruited mining personnel under the previous conditions, and the number was directly increased to 1."

"Do you still want to recruit people?"

Yeluxiong was really surprised, and couldn't help hesitating: "Father, didn't you recruit people several times before to collect middle-grade primordial stones, isn't it enough?"

"Besides, those miners haven't come back since they left. Now many people are worried that something happened, and they are no longer willing to come forward to recruit!"

Although the Yelu family controls the three primordial stone veins, their location is very secret, and only Yelu Hongming, who is the head of the family, knows.

Every time he took people to the place where the Yuanshi mine was located, it was Yelu Hongming himself who went there himself, or the secret dead soldiers trained by him were dispatched.

Yelu Xiongzhen had always been puzzled before, but now that he heard that his father wanted to recruit people again, and that he would directly raise it to [-], he finally couldn't help but ask.

However, upon hearing Yelu Xiongzhen's words, Yelu Hongming's expression darkened instantly.

He glared at Yelu Xiongzhen, and scolded: "There are some things that should be told to you, and I will tell you, don't ask too much! As for the thing you said that no one came to apply for the recruitment...I don't believe that there is no improvement in salary in Mengze country. People!"

"Do you need me to teach you anything else?"

"Father's lesson is that the child will definitely do this well!" Yeluxiong said hurriedly with a feeling of awe in his heart.

Yelu Hongming stared at Yelu Xiongzhen for a long time before his expression eased again, and said: "Well, just remember, I will tell you when I need to tell you something."

"In addition to the Yuanshi matter, you should also pay attention to Yelu Xiongran who is stationed at the border, and send someone to ask how the investigation of Mengze Province is going."

"Our Outer Mengze Country is short of resources after all. Only by expanding to Xia Country can we obtain more resources to support our cultivation!"

"Go ahead, kid!"

Yelu Xiongzhen bowed to leave and closed the door again.

Suddenly, Yelu Hongming was the only one left in the room.

Thinking of the previous conversation, there was anxiety and determination in his eyes, and he murmured: "No matter what, I must continue to buy time, as long as my strength is one step closer, no matter how many people I sacrifice!"

After that, he took out two primordial stones, closed his eyes again and began to practice.
