414: Black Wind Restaurant!

In front of the towering bronze city gate.

Chen Fan stood tall, chest out, looking forward, and said indifferently, "Is this just a small city in the Desolate Ancient Prison?"

The first impression this colossal city gave Chen Fan was its immense grandeur, subtly imbued with a terrifying pressure.

Even Chen Fan felt a hint of this pressure.

Of course, this pressure was only a faint trace.

Then, Chen Fan passed through the massive city gate, which resembled a beast's maw.

This was his first time stepping through the giant wall and witnessing the world within the city with his own eyes.

Instantly, he was awestruck by the magnificent scenery.

First and foremost.

What greeted him was a splendid and majestic colossal castle.

"Is this the scale a small city would possess?" Chen Fan gently stroked his slender beard, his eyes slightly narrowed.

The answer was no!

Chen Fan had entered a city of no small stature!

After all, Chen Fan knew very well that there were three tiers of cities in the Desolate Ancient Prison—

The lowest-tier cities were governed by ordinary World Lords and were called 'World Cities'.

The mid-tier main cities were led by Undying Spiritual Gods, hence they were called 'Cities of the Undying'.

The highest-tier cities, on the other hand, were controlled by Champion Immortals, revered by all humans of the Desolate Ancient Prison as 'Royal Cities'.

As for the Imperial City on the Central Continent, it was jointly controlled by the Human Emperor and the Prison Lord, wielding extraordinary influence.

Chen Fan speculated that any one of the four continents or the Central Continent, taken individually, could absolutely rival an ancient Universe Country!

This was the profound foundation of the Desolate Ancient Prison.

While contemplating, Chen Fan began to wander around this 'World City'.

Just like humans from the outer universe, there were many human races here, but they were all enveloped in a faint, indescribable aura.

It was very strange!

Chen Fan secretly noted this down and then continued walking.

"Little Master, the strength of these people is very strange!!!"

Suddenly—

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice resounded in Chen Fan's mind.

It was the Enchantress, Liu Qiyue!!!

"Qi Yue, why do you say that?"

At this moment, Chen Fan did not pursue the reason why the Enchantress had not appeared before, but instead asked.

"Because!"

"The aura on these people bears a striking resemblance to the characteristics of our homeland continent, and it's not just the aura and strength; even in terms of understanding laws, they possess an inherent advantage!"

"It's truly very strange!"

Even though she was within the space of the moon of destiny, it still did not affect Enchantress Liu Qiyue's observation of the outside world.

The vast and boundless Desolate Ancient Prison... this is getting interesting!

An impractical thought suddenly popped into Chen Fan's mind—could it be that the inheritance here is also related to the Origin Continent?!

However, the moment this thought emerged, Chen Fan felt a terrifying pressure subtly gathering above his head.

Left with no choice, Chen Fan could only abandon this idea and instead began to ask Liu Qiyue, "Can you be a little more specific?"

"To be specific, I'll need to investigate carefully. Perhaps there's some information about our homeland continent here, or other useful things!"

The Enchantress's voice carried a hint of surprise, as if she had become interested.

Chen Fan nodded, tacitly agreeing with Liu Qiyue's words.

"What should I do next?" Chen Fan looked at the bustling streets, suddenly feeling lost.

"You? Right now, of course, you should first find a place with a large flow of people and get to know this place first!" Qi Yue's voice was direct, resonating deep within Chen Fan's heart.

Listening to Liu Qiyue's words, Chen Fan looked up and scanned ahead.

Soon, he fixed his gaze on a bustling inn.

"Black Wind is very big!?"

On the fluttering canvas, four large black and red characters clearly appeared in Chen Fan's mind.

"Could it be an inn opened by the Black Wind Bandit Leader!?" Chen Fan secretly mused to himself, then stepped inside.

The Black Wind Inn was very large, truly very large in every sense of the word.

Upon entering, it felt as if one had stepped into another world.

Lush green grass, clusters of vibrant flowers.

It made Chen Fan feel as if he had not entered an inn, but a royal garden. The refreshing air that greeted him was invigorating.

"Phew~ The amenities of this inn are truly excellent!!"

Chen Fan tugged at his animal skin vest, which was about to slip off, and in the disdainful gazes of the many 'civilized people,' he walked step by step towards the upper floor.

The Black Wind Inn had nine floors in total, and each floor was incredibly spacious, large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people drinking and dining simultaneously without feeling crowded.

This demonstrated the sheer size of the inn.

Even Chen Fan had only seen such a scale a few times in the Virtual Universe.

In reality, he had never encountered it.

Following the flow of people, Chen Fan bypassed the second floor and went directly to the third floor.

Finding a window seat, Chen Fan ordered a few signature dishes and drinks, then began to eat by himself.

Compared to the records in ancient texts, this world had undoubtedly changed a lot.

Previously, Chen Fan had only thought that this Desolate Ancient Prison was a prison-like existence, but he never expected it to have such customs and traditions, which was truly astonishing.

Perhaps the words 'Ancient Prison' had a deeper meaning!

Chen Fan carefully speculated, as the ancient texts given to him by Venerable Qiu Bai were also vague in their descriptions, seemingly deliberately avoiding something.

This point also became a lingering doubt in Chen Fan's mind.

In the future, it seems I still need to increase my respect and caution towards this world. Caution is the parent of safety!

Chen Fan thought to himself, then began to eat and drink.

When the first bite of meat and sip of wine entered his mouth, Chen Fan's eyes shone with a brilliant light.

"This... this feeling is!!!"

Chen Fan's heart suddenly stirred, and he began to taste the other items.

As expected, every dish carried a rich vital energy, making all the cells in Chen Fan's flesh and blood cheer with joy.

Little by little, after swallowing these foods, Chen Fan clearly felt his flesh and blood cells slowly transforming.

This feeling was as if he were in a high-grade nutrient chamber, undergoing a gradual metamorphosis.

Excellent!!

Then, Chen Fan began to feast.

Soon, a table full of delicacies was devoured by Chen Fan, and then he ordered many more dishes and continued to eat.

The more Chen Fan ate, the more startled he became. The energy contained in the ingredients of these dishes was completely different from those in the previous universe.

The abundant energy subtly changed Chen Fan's physique, and even with his special constitution, he benefited greatly.

"This trip to the Black Wind Inn was not in vain." Chen Fan was very satisfied, and at the same time, his anticipation for this world suddenly increased.

Just as Chen Fan was looking at the scenery outside the window, an untimely sound suddenly echoed in the inn's main hall—

"What are you doing!"
