I have an eye of truth

The group quickly passed through several cities, only stopping briefly in each to rest before continuing on their way. Wielding special documents, they advanced without anyone daring to stop them.

"This operation is really smooth," Wang Yang remarked.

"Of course. We have a certain reputation in this area now. Putting aside everything else, just the mention of inhibitors is enough to make people think of us."

Zi Qing said with a proud look, as if it were all her doing.

"It's not like I'm the one who made them," Li Shuang muttered helplessly.

Zi Qing slapped Li Shuang on the head. "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

"Ah, I said that my esteemed sister is amazing and has become a big shot," Li Shuang praised through tears, flattering Zi Qing until she was comfortable before she let him go.

Wang Yang was covered in black lines. Sure enough, the phenomenon of older sisters bullying younger brothers exists everywhere; it's too common.

Shaking his head, Wang Yang didn't pay attention to their personal expression of affection. The last harvest was entirely used to increase poison resistance and life recovery, so that he could protect his own life.

As a result, after working so hard for so long, his own strength hadn't improved.

Now Wang Yang deeply realized that no matter how many methods one had, the most important thing was to improve one's own strength. No matter how many tricks he had, he still wouldn't be able to fight against high-level enemies.

Therefore, he still needed to compress more energy and improve his own strength as much as possible.

"Going to Thousand Stone Ridge again, huh? Okay, you can pass."

"Another one?" Wang Yang's sharp hearing easily picked up the city guard's mutter, and he felt a little strange. Were there many people going to Thousand Stone Ridge?

He Yingxue indifferently said, "They're probably here for the Fusion Stone Pills. After all, it's not a secret that Thousand Stone Ridge produces Fusion Stone Pills. Many people know about it. So, to enter Thousand Stone Ridge, other than the military, other people need to have a certain amount of merit to be allowed to enter."

"I understand. This time, with the Bladefoot Worms causing trouble, many people can gain enough merit by hunting them, right?" Wang Yang immediately understood where these people came from.

He Yingxue nodded slightly, confirming that was the case.

Just like the Armored Wood Beast disaster before, they had gained merit in various cities by hunting Armored Wood Beasts in large numbers. The things they obtained in the end were all exchanged for merit.

When the vehicle came out of the underground passage again, they had already arrived at Thousand Stone Ridge.

"Strange, why is this city made of stone?"

Wang Yang looked around, a little surprised. Because the stronghold on Thousand Stone Ridge was made of stone. Normally, cities would use alloy to build walls and foundations to prevent enemies from breaking through the walls.

Li Shuang glanced around and said as a matter of course, "Because the stone here is special. It's a very hard stone called Azure Vein Stone, characterized by the azure veins on the stone. Thousand Stone Ridge is a production area for Azure Vein Stone, especially below, where there is a complete piece of Azure Vein Stone. This thing is very light, but it's even harder than ordinary alloys."

So that was it. The surroundings were full of this stone with azure veins.

Because this was the production area, the output was very large, and the ground was a whole, which made it much harder than any alloy. With walls constructed from Azure Vein Stone, the city here was much harder than other cities.

Looking around, the style was rugged. However, although this was a production area for Azure Vein Stone, not all the houses were made of Azure Vein Stone. On the contrary, most of the houses were built with ordinary stones.

Those houses built with Azure Vein Stone all looked very magnificent. They were probably important buildings in the city, or the homes of some rich people.

In short, no matter where you went, the phenomenon of polarization was very serious.

At this time, in the underground passage area, they weren't the only ones coming out, but one person after another.

Many people had gained merit this time, and now they were all coming for the Fusion Stone Pills.

It was a pity that the Fusion Stone Pills were only useful for Apprentice-level professionals. They, who had entered the Elementary level, didn't find them very effective.

Precisely because of this, many of the people who came here were teams of Apprentice-level people, without the help of formal professionals. Their team was definitely a very powerful team here.

"It's them! I didn't expect them to come here too. Heaven is really helping me."

What the group didn't expect was that as soon as they arrived, they were being targeted.

On a high platform, a pair of sinister eyes were staring at them. If the group could see, they would find that this person was Wang Hui, who had been driven out of Flame City.

Wang Hui's eyes were cold and his expression twisted. "I've fallen to this state because of you! You dare to appear in front of me again, then don't blame me."

Wang Hui's eyes rolled around, not knowing what he was thinking, and then he quickly left the place.

Because he had set off earlier, and with the instructions from Flame City, plus Wang Hui's own resume and strength, he had directly joined the military and even served as a mid-level leader.

Also because of the city lord's relationship, although he had been exiled to this place, his resume had no blemishes.

The previous events were also not recorded. This was the benefit of having someone at home.

Unaware of being targeted, Wang Yang and the others were now strolling around the city. Every city had its own characteristics, and Thousand Stone Ridge had its own unique features.

The group didn't leave right away, but wanted to rest here for a day and look around.

After all, driving all the way to this place wasn't a comfortable thing.

It was a pity that this city basically catered to those Apprentice-level professionals, so Wang Yang didn't buy any suitable skills here. There were no spells or combat skills available.

Finally, helplessly retreating from the black market, Wang Yang felt a wave of frustration.

"Alas, it seems that I can only start with the bugs themselves. Damn bugs, most of the abilities on their bodies are related to their body structure and can't be used at all," Wang Yang muttered in his mind, his face a little ugly.

After resting in the hotel for a whole day, the next day a group of people finally set off. This time, they didn't leave Li Shuang and the others behind, after all, this place was originally a place for Apprentice-level professionals to fight.
