Chapter 223 Different Space
Wang Meng hurried forward to support the Domain Lord, "My lord, are you okay?" When he came in front of the Domain Lord, Wang Meng felt as if his blood was about to solidify.
The Domain Lord sighed with disordered breathing, "I was careless just now", then looked at Wang Meng and asked, "Where is the thing?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Meng quickly took out two maps from his storage ring, and then handed them to the domain lord respectfully. After receiving the two maps, the domain lord smiled and said, "Haha, you did a good job, I'll give you a credit. Tell me what reward you want."
After hearing what the Domain Lord said, Wang Meng was extremely excited, and then he directly stated his needs. The Domain Lord did not disappoint him and promised to give him the things after he returned.
Wang Meng was in a good mood as he could get what he wanted without giving up the Thunder Spirit Pearl. He was just about to say a few words of flattery, but the Domain Lord tore through the void and left. He did not take Wang Meng with him when he left. This made Wang Meng confused, but he only dared to underestimate it in his heart and did not dare to say it out loud.
Five hundred kilometers away, Zhou Chen staggered out from the crack in the void, "Ahem, I was careless. The strength of this third-grade monster is indeed terrifying. I can't challenge a monster of a higher level in the future." In fact, what he didn't know was that with his current strength, he could normally fight a monster of a higher level.
It’s just that there is a watershed between the fourth rank and the third rank, and the gap in strength is too huge, which is why he is so embarrassed. Otherwise, jumping levels would be a piece of cake.
In fact, Zhou Chen was not seriously injured. He was just shocked by the Domain Lord's true energy, which caused some disorder in his body. The fundamental reason for his escape was because the guy was dragged down by his own move and was about to go berserk, so Zhou Chen naturally had to escape.
After Zhou Chen sat on the grass and adjusted his breath for a while, the internal energy in his body returned to normal and his injuries were healed. If nothing unexpected happened, the map should have been in the hands of the domain lord, and it would be unlikely for him to snatch it back. However, Zhou Chen really couldn't let go of that thing.
After all, this is related to the improvement of his strength. At this time, several streams of light flashed in the air. If nothing unexpected happened, those people should also be going to give gifts to the domain lord.
Zhou Chen's eyes turned and he activated his magical power, transforming his true energy into demonic energy, and then chased after him.
Zhou Chen quickly caught up with the monsters. When they discovered Zhou Chen's presence, they immediately became alert and ready to fight at any time. Zhou Chen quickly said, "Don't do anything."
Feeling the powerful aura of Zhou Chen, the monsters did not dare to take the initiative to attack, but just asked, "Brother, we have no grudges against each other, why are you following us?"
"You have misunderstood. I don't mean to make things difficult for you."
"Oh, then why are you following us?"
Zhou Chen asked with a smile, "Are you also going to give gifts to the Territory Lord?"
"Yes, brother, is it the same for you?"
"That's right, I caught up with you just because I wanted to go with you. After all, I am a lonely demon and there are some dangers on the road. It would be much safer if I had someone to accompany me."
The monsters looked at each other, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together."
"Thank you very much, brothers." Zhou Chen then followed several monsters on the journey. On the way, the monsters started to test his background. Zhou Chen did not know much about the Qiushan Domain and did not dare to talk nonsense for fear of being exposed. He just said that he was a wandering monster and heard that the domain master was getting married, so he wanted to join in the fun.
The monsters did not doubt his words. After all, he had a demonic aura, so as long as he was not a human, there would be nothing to worry about.
"However, I don't have an invitation from the Domain Lord, so I don't know how to enter the Domain Lord's mansion when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, several monsters laughed and said, "That's fine. You can just follow us in. But don't run around after you go in. If you make the domain lord unhappy, we won't be able to control you."
"Thank you, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who likes to cause trouble. I just want to see the world this time." Everyone chatted along the way and time flew by. Finally, on the morning of the third day, they arrived at the wasteland. As far as the eye could see, it was all grassland. There was no tree, let alone a mountain. Zhou Chen looked at the empty grassland and asked, "I heard that the domain lord's mansion is in a different space. I wonder how we can get in."
After coming down, Zhou Chen used the power of space to feel that there was indeed something abnormal about the space here. Although it did not affect his use of the power of space, he was unable to enter there through the power of space.
"This is easy," the leading monster took out an invitation from its storage bag. Before he could say anything more, the invitation flew into the air and began to self-ignite. After the invitation was burned out, a space crack immediately appeared around it.
"Okay, this entrance won't last long, let's go in quickly," Zhou Chen then followed the others into the crack. After everyone entered, the crack healed instantly and the surroundings became empty again.
Zhou Chen originally thought that he had only cleared a small area in the alien space to build a mansion, which would be at most one thousand square meters.
But after entering, he found that he had a narrow vision. This was not a mansion but a small city. Seeing Zhou Chen's shocked face, the monster next to him laughed and said, "Are you dumbfounded? Don't cause trouble after you enter. Don't provoke even an ordinary little monster. The residents in this city are more or less related to the domain lord."
"Thanks for the reminder, I got it." Zhou Chen then followed him into the city. There was no need to pay any entrance fee to enter. After entering, the streets were extremely prosperous and lively.
We chatted along the way and learned that this domain city covers an area of 400 square kilometers, which is quite large. It is no different from the cities outside. The only difference is that there is no sun in the sky, but there are day and night here.
Hearing this, Zhou Chen couldn't help but feel envious. Although he could also construct an alien space, the maximum area was only over 100 square meters, which was simply embarrassing compared to here.
There are still a few days before the Territory Lord's wedding. Due to their humble status, they are naturally not qualified to receive the Territory Lord's hospitality, so they can only find a place to stay in the inns and restaurants in the city.
As many people came in during this period, the price of guest rooms also soared. It cost ten taels a night, and that was for an ordinary room. This price definitely treated these outsiders as fat sheep. However, even if they were being ripped off, they had no choice but to pay the silver obediently.
If they stayed on the streets at night, they would be driven out by the soldiers patrolling the city. Seeing the embarrassed expressions on their faces, Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Let me take care of this small matter," and then took out two silver notes worth one thousand taels and handed them over.
Although silver is universal, silver notes are not. These two silver notes were taken from Wang Meng’s secret room before.
The waiter in charge of reception was a little displeased when he saw that the few people were unable to take out the money at the moment, but when he saw the banknotes Zhou Chen handed over, he immediately became happy.
"Oh, I knew that you are not the kind of person who can't afford to stay in a hotel." The monsters were immediately unhappy when they heard it. A waiter actually looked down on them. This happened here. If it were outside, they would have been eaten by them long ago.
The waiter flattered Zhou Chen for a while, and then took a few people to the second floor. There were five people in total, and they booked three rooms. Zhou Chen had one room, and the others had two people in one room.
