"It's not just Sister Xiang'er who is afraid. No one in the entire convoy is cautious, for fear of bad luck."
"If we happen to encounter a group of wolves awakening in front of the 'tide of beasts', we will Anyone would be in trouble, it would be a dead end on the grassland."
"Although this situation is not common, there are always a few caravans encountering such incidents every year."< br>
Liu'er sighed and said with some fear.
"Indeed, I heard that Anyuan City did not hesitate to invest a lot of money to order so many high-quality weapons and equipment and more than a hundred sets of precious 'spiritual tools' from our Tiandong Company."
"The original intention is to deal with the coming beast tide."
Quan'er tilted his head and said as if he thought of something.
"That's puzzling. Although Anyuan City is not too big, it is not a newly established city. Why would it suddenly order such a large amount of equipment from us?"
< br>"To know that there are so many spiritual tools, it seems that only medium-sized and above cities can afford such a huge investment."
The girl in white shirt expressed confusion about this.
"What's so strange about this? Maybe it's because the herd of beasts that suddenly migrated nearby is too powerful."
"Or maybe Anyuan City happened to hit a 'big beast tide' that only happens once in a thousand years. , facing the joint attack from all the surrounding beasts, it is naturally difficult to resist."
The girl in blue shook her head and said nonchalantly.
"It's true, maybe it's like what sister Liu'er said." Quan'er pursed her lips and said with a smile.
Yan Yun was sitting upright on his seat at this time, seemingly adjusting his breathing and meditating, but in fact, his ears could clearly hear the conversations of several women.
When he heard words such as "beast tide", he couldn't help but frown slightly.
He immediately thought of an incident called the "Scorpion Tide" that the scar-faced man Zhang Kui once mentioned in the Qingluo Desert. Is there some connection between the two?
However, in the following time, the four women did not talk much about this matter, but began to discuss other topics.
Although Yan Yun felt a little regretful, he still focused on operating the Vajra Secret Method on his own and gradually adjusted the condition of his own meridians.
After this period of careful recuperation, coupled with the magical effect of Mu Shengzhu, Yan Yun's meridians were repaired much faster than expected.
Now that his body has basically recovered, he only needs to rest for another half month to fully recover.
It seems that with his fourth-level Diamond Art cultivation and his proficiency in various low-level and mid-level spells of monks, he can still have an advantage even when facing late-stage foundation-building monks.
As for the monks in the alchemy stage, the results can only be known after fighting in person.
Undoubtedly, this situation is limited to the fact that there is not much difference in magical powers between practitioners of all classes in the spiritual world and practitioners in the human world, and there is no extraordinary phenomenon of supernatural powers.
After leaving the grassland, the convoy drove briskly for about two days before arriving at the end of the trip - a seemingly majestic stone fortress.
Looking into the distance, one can see that the walls of the stone fortress are more than 30 feet high, and the distance between the walls is more than 100 feet.
A small tower ten feet high stands at each interval, making the entire stone fortress look extremely majestic.
Looking sideways along the city wall, the wall is as white as snow and stretches endlessly, with no end in sight.
However, on such an astonishingly high city wall, there are actually some unknown and exquisite totem patterns carved on it, like an unprecedented and mysterious rune.
This adds a bit of mystery to the whole city.
Yan Yun couldn't help feeling speechless when he saw this.
No matter how you look at it, this city cannot be connected with an ordinary small town.
Such a huge scale, even those places in the world called "giant cities" cannot compare with it.
However, Yan Yun also noticed that on these tall city walls, there was a group of tall soldiers wearing uniform armor patrolling back and forth.
There is also a huge giant crossbow machine set up on each tower, with metal crossbow arrows neatly arranged on it.
Each crossbow arrow is three to four feet long, extremely sharp, shining with a faint white light, and seems to belong to the category of low-level magic weapons.
If such an amazing weapon is really a magic weapon, even a practitioner in the foundation building stage would lose half his life if he takes a single blow.
Yan Yun squinted his eyes and stared at everything in front of him. While he was thinking about it, the convoy had already arrived in front of the city gate.
There was no one outside the city gate. A dark door was tightly closed. There were many soldiers gathered above the city gate. They stared down at the convoy with alert expressions on their faces.
Zhang Kui rode the giant wolf to the front of the convoy. He waved his hand without hesitation and threw an object directly above the city gate.
It turned out to be a golden token.
There was a commotion above the city gate, and a middle-aged man in silver armor immediately stepped forward and quickly picked up the token and examined it carefully for a moment.
Then he turned his head and glanced at the long motorcade below, and suddenly gave an order:
"Open the door immediately and conduct a routine inspection of the motorcade. They are the team of the Tiandong Chamber of Commerce."
Hearing what the middle-aged man said, the surrounding soldiers suddenly realized, and one of them immediately ran down to the top of the city to activate the gate.
Soon after, the door that looked like it was made of fine steel slowly opened, and dozens of fully armed soldiers poured out from inside, standing in two columns.
The middle-aged man in silver armor walked out last and walked up to Zhang Kui who was riding a giant wolf. He looked carefully before asking slowly:
"Excuse me, sir." Are you the main person in charge of the Tiandong Chamber of Commerce? "
"My dear, I believe you have received instructions from your city lord. Behind you are the goods that your city has ordered from our chamber of commerce." Zhang Kui said calmly. replied.
"I have indeed received the relevant order. However, due to the special situation at hand, we need to invite several spiritual practitioners to assist in checking the convoy so that it can pass smoothly."
The middle-aged man in silver armor said bluntly.
"Are you worried that there are monsters mixed in? There is no problem at all. You can just check it with confidence."
Zhang Kui did not hesitate when he heard the request made by the other party. He agreed without showing any hesitation.
"Okay, Mr. Li, Master Huang! Please help me with the inspection."
The middle-aged man in silver armor nodded with satisfaction, turned back and called towards the inside of the city gate. .
I saw two people coming quickly at the city gate, a scholar-like man in plain clothes and white robes.
The other was an ascetic wearing dark blue monk robes. Both of them walked towards the convoy with calm expressions.
The man in white robe bowed deeply and said calmly:
"Please allow us to follow the instructions of the Lord of the City and help Commander Zhao handle the affairs."
Zhao The commander did not dare to neglect, and immediately smiled and thanked, and responded: "The two immortals are willing to help me. It is really a help in times of need. I am very grateful!" The scholar in white robe and the monk in blue each took out a magic weapon before they were still in shape.
A simple bronze mirror and a hollow alms bowl that emit dim yellow light.
They recited incantations silently, cast spells in their hands quickly, and at the same time threw the magic weapons in their hands high into the sky.
In an instant, the two magical instruments were spinning and tumbling in mid-air, and a ray of cyan glow shot out from the bronze mirror, covering a huge turtle in front.
And the alms bowl shed an endless stream of yellow light, quickly swallowing up all the surrounding giant wolf knights.
In just a moment, the cyan glow and yellow light dissipated without a trace, and once again launched an attack on the target behind.
The two practitioners inspected each turtle cart one by one. The cyan glow and yellow light flashed intertwinedly, and no one escaped their sight.
After a careful search, more than 30 carriages and more than 200 people were all baptized by the cyan glow and yellow light, and no abnormality was found.
Commander Zhao looked slightly relaxed and said:
"Okay, you can enter the city. In addition, I would like to remind you that Mrs. Fang has booked the largest shopping mall in the west of the city. Cloud Inn, after you complete your mission, you can go directly there to meet her.”
After speaking, he waved his hand to indicate that the convoy could pass.
The scar-faced man was stunned for a moment, then he bowed his hands respectfully and led the convoy slowly into the city gate.
The moment the convoy actually stepped into the city gate, Yan Yun realized that the scale of Shicheng was far beyond his imagination.
Looking around, the houses in the city are lined up in rows, and the number is jaw-dropping, as if there is no end in sight.
However, although these houses have different styles and materials, they are all arranged in an orderly manner, leaving behind wide bluestone streets.
At this moment, the whole city is bustling with people, the streets are busy with traffic, and the crowds are surging, making it extremely lively.
Yan Yun couldn't help being shocked when he saw the scene in front of him, but he soon noticed it.
Most of the pedestrians walking on the street carry swords and other weapons, and everyone's face looks very serious.
Seeing this, the girl in blue shirt in the carriage sighed softly and said to herself:
"It seems that this beast tide incident is indeed not a rumor, otherwise people living in the city People from other villages will not flock to the city.”
"So, for Anyuan City, the pressure will be increasing in the future."
Hearing this, Yan Yun finally realized and understood the situation in front of him.
Nevertheless, facing such a large crowd, it is indeed very difficult to let the convoy pass quickly.
Fortunately, General Zhao was accustomed to foreseeing various difficulties and had already sent several soldiers to clear the way for the convoy, forcibly dispersed the crowd and opened up a smooth road for the convoy.
Even so, the convoy was still moving slowly, and it took more than half an hour.
Only then did he finally pass through more than a dozen bustling streets, walk onto a relatively deserted street, and finally stop in front of a several-story archway.
Behind the archway are several heavily guarded warehouse-style buildings, with guards armed with various weapons everywhere.
The next thing became much simpler. Everyone from Tiandong Company handed the goods one by one to the warehouse official responsible for acceptance.
Then Zhang Kui took the voucher, breathed a sigh of relief, and led everyone straight to the west direction of the city that Commander Zhao said.
Yan Yun, who participated in the entire operation and recovered well, happened to be present.
However, when they were halfway through the journey, Yan Yun proposed to Zhang Kui.
I hope to take a tour around the city, take a short rest, and then go to Ruyun Inn to meet my colleagues from Tiandong Trading Company.
Hearing Yan Yun’s request, a trace of doubt flashed across Zhang Kui’s eyes. After a short period of thinking, he finally agreed to the request, while not forgetting to remind Yan Yun:
“Brother Yan , Although you have not yet met my wife and have not officially joined the company, it is not convenient for Zhang to be too restrictive to you."
"However, you should have noticed that the current situation in Anyuan City is quite turbulent."
"In addition, since this place is just a remote small town, I'm afraid there isn't much worth seeing."
"Brother Yan, if you have something important to deal with, please finish it as soon as possible and return to the inn."
Although Leader Zhang looks quite fierce in appearance, his words are extremely tactful.
Yan Yun smiled and nodded in agreement, and then left leisurely.
When he walked around the corner of a street, his figure disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Kui watched Yan Yun leave, gently caressing his chin with his generous palm, a thoughtful look on his face.
“Is Donor Zhang worried that Brother Yan will never come back?”
Nan Qizi, standing next to the scar-faced man, suddenly asked with a smile.
"Since the blood curse document has been signed, Zhang will naturally not worry about it. It's just that Brother Yan does seem to have a good background and is elusive."
Zhang Kui came back to his senses and answered with a wry smile.
"Having such amazing body refining skills at such a young age is obviously not an ordinary background."
"However, judging from his words and deeds, it seems that he does not belong to people in our Tianyuan territory. This is probably true. Indeed."
Nan Qizi said with a smile.
"Zhang has naturally seen this. As long as he has nothing to do with the other major forces in our Tianyuan territory, even if there are doubts about his origin, it is irrelevant to our Tiandong Company. ”
“As long as he cultivates carefully, it may be possible for this person to practice the Vajra Art to the fifth level.”
"In this way, he will definitely become Madam's right-hand man." Zhang Kui's face became serious.
"The fifth level of the Vajra Jue? Donor Zhang actually has such ambitions. That is enough to compete with us monks in the alchemy stage without falling behind."
Nan Qizi glanced He glanced at the scar-faced man, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Zhang is indeed a bit fanciful. However, this person is so young and has already achieved today's cultivation. Who can guarantee that he will not be able to cultivate the Vajra Art to the fifth level in the next hundred years?"< br>
“In comparison, the opportunities he faces seem to far exceed those of ordinary body refiners like me.”
"Otherwise, Zhang wouldn't have asked him to sign the blood curse document without hesitation in the Qingluo Desert."
Zhang Kui also laughed. (End of this chapter)
