<h4>Chapter 85: Red Valley City</h4>


    The night passed quickly. Although they were spending the night in an evil grave, nothing unusual happened. The tall girl and Zhou Chen took turns to sleep, making their fatigue from the past two days disappear.


    On the morning after the third night, as soon as the sun rose, they left the grave and walked in the direction that the hunchbacked man had pointed.


    They crossed two mountains, but they did not find any vige. They only saw another bare mountain covered in some snow.


    “Let’s continue south. It’s not good to keep on staying in the grave.”


    They were not surprised to discover that they had been deceived. They continued heading south.


    They climbed mountains and crossed rivers until noon. When they reached the peak of a tall mountain, they found something.


    “There seems to be a city over there.”


    Zhou Chen saw some buildings like objects behind arge mountain in the distance.


    Some of the houses were tall and some were short. They were arranged in a disorderly manner and did not seem to be as orderly as those in Snowy Peak City.


    The two of them then headed there. It took them three hours to reach the area.


    When they tried to enter the city, the city guard saw that Zhou Chen and the tall girl were foreigners and harassed them. He only let them pass after Zhou Chen gave him a silver coin that he had found in the grave.


    “The initial impression this city gives me is that it is inferior to Snowy Peak City.”


    After entering, Zhou Chenined to the tall girl.


    “Indeed… Someone has been following us since we entered.”


    The girl nodded and warned him.


    “Yeah, I noticed that too. We are probably being watched.”


    Zhou Chen did not care too much.


    “Let’s find a good inn to stay at.”


    He began to search for a ce to rest in this city.


    After crossing a few graveled paths that were not wide, they reached an inn with a signboard hanging above the door that said ‘Warm Forest’ in localnguage.


    The interior of the inn looked good, and it gave off a refreshing feeling. Looking in from the door, they could see that it was very clean and neat. Zhou Chen and the tall girl quickly walked in and arrived at the counter.


    “We want two rooms.”


    Zhou Chen said to a woman with sharp ears and brownplexion.


    “Alright, please pay a gold coin as a deposit.”


    The counter girl said with a smile.


    “So expensive…”


    Zhou Chen immediately felt that it was a little fraudulent, but seeing that the equipment of this inn seemed to be good, he took out a gold coin.


    “You two have just arrived in Red Valley City, right?”


    After receiving the money, the woman asked the two.


    “Yes.”


    Zhou Chen nodded.


    “Then you have to pay attention to your surroundings. I can guarantee your safety in my inn, but it’s hard to say if you go out.”


    The woman continued.


    “What do you mean? Is this Red Valley City dangerous?”


    Zhou Chen couldn’t help but smile.


    “Red Valley City is not dangerous. What’s dangerous is some people. Just try not to stay outside for too long.”


    The woman seemed unwilling to speak further.


    “Thank you.”


    Zhou Chen and the tall girl were then led to the second floor by another sharp-eared woman and checked into two adjacent rooms.


    The two of them slept for a while and ate before leaving.


    “It’s almost dark. It will be dangerous if you go out.”


    When they were about to leave the inn, the sharp-eared boss warned them.


    “Don’t worry, we’ll be back soon.”


    Zhou Chen smiled at thedy boss and turned to leave, making her shake her head helplessly.


    The reason why Zhou Chen and the tall girl came out was mainly to find if there were any system marked items that they could buy here, such as weapons, armor, and skill scrolls.


    They had learned about the city from the inn boss and knew that there were weapons and armor shops, apothecary, and other shops here; ording to the inn boss, the shops were of good standard.


    Holding a simple map, they went to the nearest destination, an apothecary owned by a witch.


    After walking past two graveled paths, they entered an alley. Zhou Chen and the tall girl walked steadily until a few people blocked their way.


    There were three people in front and behind. They looked like bandits from their clothing style. They stared at Zhou Chen and the tall girl with obvious greed in their eyes.


    “Hand over all your gold coins ande with us obediently. You will suffer less like that.”


    A one-eyed man in linen clothes walked forward and said to Zhou Chen and the tall girl.


    “We can give you the gold coins, but why do you want us to follow you?”


    Zhou Chen asked curiously.


    “Hehe, of course it is to let you guys have some fun.”


    The one-eyed man seemed to be very satisfied with Zhou Chen’s cowardly behavior. An evil smile appeared on his face.


    “Hahaha…”


    The others roared withughter as well.


    “Kill them all!”


    After getting the reply, Zhou Chen instructed the tall girl in a low voice. He took out the steel ironwood spear and charged at the one-eyed man.


    The one-eyed man was stunned because he did not understand how a spear suddenly appeared in their prey’s hand. He was just about to retreat and let the two de-wielding underlings beside him face the enemy when he realized that the spear had already pierced through his throat.


    The one-eyed man had just died and had yet to fall to the ground when the two de-wielding underlings beside him were also stabbed to death by Zhou Chen. After all, there was no ce to hide in this alley, and Zhou Chen had the advantage of a long weapon and strength and agility.


    After stabbing everyone in front of him to death within a second or so, Zhou Chen turned around.


    The tall girl had already taken out her saber. Her strength, speed, and skills were quite good. In just a second, she had already killed a person.


    Zhou Chen quickly stepped forward to help. The entire fight onlysted three seconds, and no one escaped from this alley.


    After killing these people, Zhou Chen searched their bodies and obtained two gold coins and several silver coins.


    While he was looting, the tall girl expressed her doubt.


    “Are you nning to leave this city immediately? We could have just chased them away.”


    “Let’s see how it goes.”


    Zhou Chen replied calmly.


    “Perhaps the deaths of these thugs are inconsequential. Don’t worry, even if troublees, I have a way to escape.”


    Zhou Chen did not think that killing these people was a big deal. After all, this was the system’s world. He only chose the easiest method to be at ease even if it was crude.


    They quickly left the alley and walked in the Red Valley City for a while before arriving at their destination, the apothecary called the Dream Lodge.


    The owner of this store was an old witch with a face full of wrinkles. When Zhou Chen said that he wanted the best potion, she immediately took out her signature potion.


    “This Vigor Potion is mytest concoction. It can make you the man who canst the longest in bed!”
