From a distance, Tang San saw a massive city wall. This wall was a hundred meters high. Yes, it was a hundred meters high, not an exaggeration.
On both sides of the city wall were two large mountains, and the wall was built along the mountains. The towering mountains served as the best cover.
Through the knowledge taught by Wang Yanfeng, Tang San had long known that Jialicheng was a basin city. Surrounded by mountains, the city used the mountains as its best protection. There were only two sections of city walls on the north and south sides, and one could enter through the city gates there.
There were no guards at the city gates, which were wide open, allowing free entry and exit.
Wang Yanfeng did not immediately take Tang San into the city but held him back, waiting on the side. He waited until there was a lull in the flow of monsters entering and exiting the city gates before quickly pulling him into the city.
As soon as they entered the city gates, Tang San's first feeling was that he had entered another world.
Fenglang Town was located in the northeastern part of the Monster Continent, and it was relatively cold for most of the year. However, inside Jialicheng, it was warm like spring. The warm and humid air was much richer in spiritual energy than outside, and as soon as one entered, it immediately gave a refreshing feeling.
The ground inside the city was completely paved with stone slabs, making it solid and level. On both sides of the road were tall buildings made of wood and stone.
Upon entering the city, Tang San saw more monster races. The variety of monster races gave a dazzling impression. Tang San mentally matched them with the types of monster races taught by Wang Yanfeng. Although he was extremely repulsed by the monster races, he couldn't help but feel his horizons were broadened.
"Don't look." Wang Yanfeng blocked his view with his body and whispered, "What did I tell you?"
"Yes." Tang San lowered his head.
His observation was not just a casual look. At this moment, he was filled with a sense of shock. The monster races were truly too powerful, even more so than the strongest period of soul beasts in his original world.
Jialicheng was just one of the main cities of the monster races, but every monster race he saw exuded a powerful aura. Each race had its own characteristics. Even the most ordinary monster races felt incredibly strong. Humans without any talent were indeed far inferior to them.
Tang San couldn't help but sigh inwardly. In this world, it was extremely difficult for humans to resist the monster races. To change everything, it would have to start from the root. Only if humans also possessed the talent for cultivation and strength would there be a possibility. Even so, it would be very difficult, as the control of the two monster races over the continent was too strong. Humans were just slaves, and even if they could awaken some talents, they would likely be suppressed as soon as they were discovered.
Moreover, was the Demon God Transformation the way out for humans? Absolutely not! The origin of the Demon God Transformation came from humans being bullied by the monster races, thus being tainted with the blood of the monster races. In reality, such mixed blood was still far inferior to the blood of truly powerful monster races.
To make humans rise, it was not only necessary for humans to possess their own talents but also to have room for development.
A rough idea began to take shape in Tang San's mind.
"We'll find a place to stay first. We can stay here for about three days. After completing the mission, I'll take you around." Wang Yanfeng's voice pulled Tang San out of his thoughts.
"Yes, teacher." Tang San humbly responded.
The two walked along the edge of the road. Wang Yanfeng was clearly familiar with Jialicheng, and he quickly found a place to stay. It was a somewhat shabby small inn, and the innkeeper was also a human subordinate.
This was a woman who looked about the same age as Wang Yanfeng. When she saw Wang Yanfeng bringing Tang San in, she immediately came forward with surprise and joy.
"How did you come here?" She gave Wang Yanfeng a big hug.
Wang Yanfeng also hugged her tightly, his eyes full of joy. "I was sent on a mission. I'll stay for a few days. Tang San, come here." As he spoke, he released his embrace and pulled Tang San to his side.
"This is my new disciple from last year, Tang San. Tang San, this is my sister, Gui Gui. You can call her Aunt Gui." Wang Yanfeng introduced them.
It turned out to be his sister, and Tang San couldn't help but feel relieved that she wasn't his wife.
"Hello, Aunt Gui." What a strange name.
Gui Gui looked at Tang San and said to Wang Yanfeng with some surprise, "He awakened at such a young age? I haven't seen a child awaken at this age in a long time. But, can he pass the...?"
At this point, she paused, her face showing a hint of pity.
Wang Yanfeng coughed and said, "Let's get settled in first." He wasn't worried at all about whether Tang San could pass the test. If Tang San couldn't pass, no one could. He couldn't tell Gui Gui that this child had even taught him how to control wind blades.
The small inn was somewhat shabby, but it had many rooms, nearly twenty in total. Each room was only about ten square meters, with two beds inside. The price was very low. Although it was simple, the rooms were relatively quiet.
Wang Yanfeng let Tang San rest in the room first, then went with Gui Gui. The siblings clearly had some catching up to do.
The room had a window, but the inn's location was quite secluded. Opening the window, one could only see a high wall not far away.
When they entered, Tang San also saw some other guests, mostly human subordinates. From the size of the beds, it was clear that the rooms were specifically prepared for humans. This place was probably dedicated to human subordinates.
The inn didn't even have a name, and there was no sign outside. In front of the inn was a small open space with some vegetables planted. Although it looked simple, coming here gave a sense of being separated from the massive city, making one feel at ease.
Perhaps, this could be considered a small sanctuary for humans in Jialicheng.
It was a full hour before Wang Yanfeng returned as the sky gradually darkened. He called Tang San to have dinner.
The dinner was abundant, with meat. But the taste was just so-so. Since coming to this world, Tang San hadn't eaten much delicious food. From his observations, even the wolf monsters in Fenglang Town ate about the same, just in larger quantities.
In terms of culinary standards, this world seemed to be far inferior to his original world.
Gui Gui joined them for dinner. While eating, she asked Wang Yanfeng, "Are you going to take him with you tomorrow?"
Wang Yanfeng turned to look at Tang San, "Tomorrow I have to go to the ancestral home of the Fenglang Clan in Jialicheng to submit the list. Do you want to come? There won't be much danger, but you still need to be careful. The wolf monsters there are all much stronger than our lord."
"I'll go with you." Tang San said without hesitation.
His improvement in the Xuantian Gong and the Wind Blade would depend on the wolf monsters. If he had the opportunity to absorb the blood power of high-level wolf monsters, provided his current body could withstand it, it would definitely be greatly beneficial to his cultivation and breakthrough.
"Good." Wang Yanfeng nodded.
Gui Gui looked at Wang Yanfeng strangely. Tang San was only a nine-year-old child, but from Wang Yanfeng's attitude towards him, she felt that her brother was treating the child with a more equal attitude. This made her feel a bit strange.
Gui Gui looked at Tang San and said, "Little Tang, what level is your Wind Wolf Transformation at now?"
Hearing this, Tang San looked at Wang Yanfeng.
