Chapter 130 128 Reaching Shiwanda Mountain! 62K please subscribe, the second update will be later
The economic conditions of Yuanzhou are obviously much worse than those of Nanzhou. It didn't take long for Wang Wu, Bai Tan and the demons to enter the first city of Yuanzhou after leaving Nanzhou.
The name is Yaocheng, with more than 500,000 people. The population is quite large, but the urban construction is obviously lower than the average level of Nanzhou.
No wonder I could always hear locals bragging to outsiders in Nanzhou. Their feelings were really groundless, and flies would never bite their eggs.
Tongzhou, Nanzhou, and Yuanzhou are the three major border states in the south, and Nanzhou is the richest one. Although Nanzhou is not very south, because further south is the State of Chu.
The three monsters did not stay in Yaocheng for long and left quickly. Instead, they went somewhere else, their destination being Shiwandashan.
The entire western border of Yuanzhou is blocked by Shiwandashan, so there is no pressure on Yuanzhou's national defense, because Shiwandashan is really big.
It is a mountain range about the same size as Yuanzhou, nearly 800,000 square kilometers, of which 40,000 square kilometers are within the territory of Yuanzhou and belong to the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Humans can often be seen in Shiwanda Mountain. Unlike the Dead Soul Mountain, it is a place that ordinary people and monks avoid. On the contrary, all kinds of mountain products here are very popular in the market.
Treasures from heaven and earth, various beasts and monsters, and of course, monsters.
Selling monsters as edible meat is obviously the most cost-effective way to sell them. Moreover, the selling price of monster meat is lower than that of monster meat. As for the more cost-effective method, it must be...
You don't even need to deliberately catch slaves, there are many monsters who will even voluntarily sell themselves into various cities in Yuanzhou... Well.
The monster itself likes to do this. The female monster has excellent physical fitness, high internal temperature, and her muscles can be finely controlled to fit perfectly. She can even... In short, ordinary humans will definitely not be able to stand it.
Therefore, in Yuanzhou, monsters are very common in certain businesses in major counties.
"Haha, Brother Zhang!! Stay safe!!"
Just like now, after Wang Wu brought two monsters into the city, he heard such a conversation within a few seconds.
"Ouch, ouch! Brother Gu!! It's been so long! Come on, brother is treating me today, let's go to Yanyao Tower!!"
"Hey, this, hiss...Oh, this is too polite, too polite..."
"Hey! We are brothers, why are you so polite to me?? Let's go!!"
Watching the two of them walking arm in arm to somewhere in the city, Wang Wu shook his head and scanned the city with people coming and going.
It is indeed different from Nanzhou. Monsters in Yuanzhou are very common. You can see at least two or three at a glance.
"Brother Li, have you been to Yuanzhou before?" Bai Tan was looking around curiously. After looking for a while, he asked Wang Wu curiously.
Although Wang Wu's strength far exceeded his imagination, and the opponent even had a master who had clearly surpassed human limits.
But when Bai Tan got along with Wang Wu, he didn't have the same sense of "restriction" when facing other strong men.
It was as if Wang Wu was just an ordinary person, no matter his words, deeds or behavior, he felt very kind.
"Never been here." Wang Wu had withdrawn his gaze at this moment. After all, he was born in Nanzhou. The urban construction of Yaocheng is not interesting. It is much behind Nanzhou. The city with a population of 500,000 is not as good as Hedong. The county is prosperous.
"But there's nothing good to see." Wang Wu shrugged, "It's a little worse than our Nanzhou, but it's understandable. Yuanzhou has more mountains and forests and fewer plains, which is not suitable for agriculture. It's not as wealthy as our Nanzhou."
"Hey, here comes Master Nanzhou again?"
Others' strange voices came from around him, but Wang Wu ignored them and just continued to move forward with Bai Tan and Xie Yu.
But just because he doesn't care doesn't mean that others don't care either. The other party's weird 'compliment' didn't deliberately hide his voice, so it was naturally heard by others.
Because his aura was restrained, in the eyes of most people, Wang Wu was just an ordinary person with a bit of 'inner energy', not a strong man.
After all, we are operating with a vest, so we must not be too high-profile.
"What? What's wrong with what people are saying? Are you, Yuanzhou, poor? What's the matter? Does it hurt your heart?"
Behind Wang Wu, another Nanzhou person looked at the strange Yuanzhou person and frowned.
Both of them are monks, and their realm is not low.
Although Wang Wu concealed his aura, the two monsters around him were not pure monsters in the true realm.
So one look at his identity would tell him that he was the eldest son of a noble family in Nanzhou. Considering his appearance, he was most likely from the Situ family.
The men of the Situ family are known for their androgynous looks, but it is normal for them to have masculine looks occasionally.
"I'm not in a hurry, either?" The Zhenjing monk from Yuanzhou was obviously planning to find trouble. He didn't mean to back down and directly attacked him: "It's you, why are you in a hurry?"
"Haha." The Nanzhou monk sneered, and without any nonsense, he went straight to the point: "A fight?"
"Come on, who's afraid of whom?"
The two monks immediately shot into the sky and flew into the distance. And during the flight, they did not forget to attack each other:
"The slutty mountain barbarians, if we were in the previous dynasty, you mountain barbarians would be used as human sacrifices for us. Damn, you are really despicable."
"Ouch, ouch, who doesn't know that you Yin people are awesome? Why are you so awesome that the Chaoge is gone, and now you let the Zhou people become kings? Are you licking the boots of the Zhou people like dogs? Look at your The Situ family in Nanzhou is still Situ, why haven’t they died for the king of Shang? ”
"I'm a fool! You're looking for death!!!"
"Haha, are you in a hurry?"
In the air outside the city, two true monks instantly turned into afterimages in the sky. The magic weapon smashed into the wall of air and made a sharp roar in the sky.
Although it is only at a speed of Mach 1 to Mach 2, to ordinary people, this is already as powerful as a god.
Wang Wu did not know about the conflict that occurred at the city gate entrance after he left.
He came to the city with the intention of doing some shopping here, buying some food to eat on the way, and spending some money on the way.
Buy some books, story books, and picture books. There are things similar to comics in this world, but they are closer to the comic strips in Wang Wu’s hometown.
The main thing was to buy some limited-edition comic strips with exquisite paintings... No, no, no, I didn't buy this, I just bought some popular and wonderful folk stories.
The three banshees are now literate and are pursuing spiritual food. Erniang Centipede likes cookbooks and Lady Spider likes novels about monsters, while Lady Mouse likes romance novels. Each of the three monsters has their own preferences.
As for Ziyuan, she reads them all, but her favorites are books that record local customs and academic aspects.
Educational and academic books are quite expensive, let’s talk about them.
While wandering around the city, Wang Wu also met an acquaintance, Li Yuan. But because it was Li San now, he couldn't say hello to the other party, he could only look at him as a stranger.
Li Yuan was shopping with a middle-aged man in his fifties who was wearing simple clothes. He would say a few words to him from time to time, and his relationship was obviously very close.
Wang Wu originally thought that the other person should be Li Yuan's old father, but they didn't look alike, so he wasn't sure.
"Brother Lu, look at this. How about buying one for Tuan Tuan?" Li Yuan picked a cloth tiger from a stall and asked the middle-aged man next to him.
The traces of time can clearly be seen on the face of the man whom Li Yuan calls 'Little Brother Lu': deep wrinkles, rough skin, and eyes that have become a little cloudy due to the floating world.
The eyes of monks will not be so cloudy, even if they have experienced much more than an ordinary person.
A two-hundred-year-old monk and a seventy-year-old man, even though they have both experienced countless vicissitudes of life, you can still feel the 'vigor' of young people in the eyes of the former.
"This, this is pretty good." The middle-aged man looked at Buhuhu with a look of emotion on his face until he looked at Li Yuan.
"Li, Li..." Looking at Li Yuan's face, which was no different from forty years ago, the middle-aged man opened his mouth, but no words came out, and his head lowered.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Li Yuan stopped talking. Taking the cloth tiger in his hand, he picked a few more, then took out a bunch of copper coins from Qiankun's sleeve and placed them in front of the stall owner.
"Let's go back and take a look at Tuantuan, little Brother Lu." As he said that, he patted the other party's shoulder gently.
The latter trembled, sniffed hard, and nodded.
"Okay..."
The two left quickly, and after looking at their backs for a while, the stall owner sighed and shook his head.
"Alas."
"Boss, do you recognize these two?"
After Li Yuan left with little Brother Lu, Wang Wu also walked up, picking up children's toys on the stall and asking the boss.
"The older one is my neighbor, Doubao Lu from Nancheng. His family sells bean buns." After hearing Wang Wu's voice, the stall owner looked away and said.
"As for that one..." the stall owner smiled and said, "It should be the good brother Doubaolu often talks about to his neighbors, right?"
"They grew up together and were brothers. Later, when his brother showed his talent, he went to Dapai in Nanzhou. He stayed there for more than 40 years."
"Doubao Lu is already old, but Li Yuan still looks like a twenty-year-old young man."
"That's not bad..." The stall owner rubbed his eyes, "This brother actually still remembers him."
"I remember, but I didn't see Li Yuanla being so generous as to ask him to go to Qingping Sect to enjoy the blessings?" At this time, the stall owner of the next stall also joined the conversation and said with a smile.
"And you haven't been back for decades, but you think about it today?"
"It would be nice if I could come back and see you. I want to take you over to enjoy the happiness." The stall owner rolled his eyes:
"Doubao Lu was able to open this bean bun shop only because of the help of his brother. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for him, a farmer from the village below, to open a bean bun shop in Yaocheng."
"Then Li Yuan is also from a rural background. Working hard in the sect alone is tiring enough. Even his parents can't accept him to live in the Qingping sect, let alone this brother?"
"Do you think that after entering the mountain gate, your family will eat and live there for free? You are dreaming."
"I can't tell that the boss actually knows a lot about this matter." While Wang Wu was selecting cloth toys, he was also listening to the conversation between the stall owner and another stall owner. After picking a few, he looked up at the boss and smiled. said.
"Hey, it's just hearsay, hearsay..." The boss scratched his head in embarrassment, "Has your guest already been selected?"
"Okay." Wang Wu nodded, pointed to the six toys on the table, and asked, "Just these few, how many are they in total?"
"Always eight hundred articles, guest officer."
"It's quite cheap." Wang Wu smiled and took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the boss, "It's only two to three hundred coins more, so the boss doesn't have to look for it."
"Hey, thank you sir! My guest's journey of cultivation is going smoothly, and I will definitely become a Dharma master in the future!!" The boss, who had received several hundred extra cents, suddenly beamed with joy and complimented Wang Wu repeatedly as he left.
After collecting the money, he looked at the owner of the stall next door again and raised his eyebrows.
"Did you see it? I told you that monks often come to buy things at my stall. You still don't believe it."
"What the hell??" The owner of the stall next door looked unhappy.
"Haha, of course it's because I'm so good at making this stuffed toy that even the monks like it."
"Fuck you, shit luck..."
"Haha..."
They met up with the two demons Bai Tan who were on another street, and after walking with them for a while, the three of them had another meal in the city at noon, and then left after eating.
They didn't plan to leave too soon. After all, monsters always had a lot of time, and Wang Wu also had a lot of time.
Along the way, you can appreciate the customs and customs of the human world, pass through several human cities, and then arrive at the entrance of Shiwan Mountain, and go deep into it to explore the location of the demon city.
The latest chapter of this book
Take a look at the 16-9 book bar!
So the time quickly came to the end of January.
At this time, the human world has truly entered its working period, and the spirit of the New Year has completely dissipated. Those who should go out to make a living, and those who should run business have already been running as early as the beginning of the first year.
With the end of the New Year, the number of people in the Hundred Thousand Mountains gradually increased.
Those who make a living in the mountains, dig for treasures, catch monsters and monsters in the mountains, beat their compatriots in the mountains to make extra money, and some live in the mountains.
Although this mountain forest is large, it gives Wang Wu the feeling that it is almost as lively as a human city.
Monks, ordinary people, bandits, and all kinds of monsters and monsters all live together in this vast mountain range.
There are naturally demons, but their numbers are smaller compared to those in the Forest of Bones.
This is a place where countless monsters live, and not all monsters have the consciousness to move to Death Soul Mountain when their end is approaching. Therefore, when their consciousness completely disappears, they will naturally become "demon" wandering among these hundreds of thousands of mountains.
And this mountain is also a place where crime breeds. Although it is very profitable to catch monsters, monsters are not easy to catch, and now Yuanzhou and humans have more of a 'cooperative' relationship.
What's more, there are many demon cities in Shiwanda Mountain, and these demon cities are all 'good demons' in the eyes of the Zhou Dynasty. They are far more united than the wild monsters outside, and they will not show mercy once they encounter slave hunters. .
And it is even less likely that the dynasty officials will stand up for a group of slave traders. Therefore, instead of difficult-to-catch monsters, why not just find easy-to-catch human compatriots?
The Great Zhou Dynasty did not restrict human slaves. Although it was absolutely illegal to capture Zhou people as slaves privately, as long as they did not sell them in the official market, it would be fine.
What's more, selling slaves without a license, whether selling humans or monsters, is a brainless business. Who cares whether the person you capture is a human being?
It's best if you can catch the monster, but it's okay if you can't catch the monster.
However, the slave-catching teams usually capture monks or Gangqi warriors. Ordinary people only need to face the bandits in the mountains, but they don't have to worry about being captured as slaves.
As we go deeper, the surrounding woods become more and more dense. There are almost no traces of human beings here. Unlike the shallow and middle layers before, the woods are full of trails taken by predecessors.
The three monsters have been walking in the woods for more than three hours. Because there is no acceleration, it is the purest walking experience.
Traveling at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, you can appreciate the primitive style of this primeval forest.
"By the way, you have never been to Yuanzhou, are you sure we are taking the right path?" At this time, Wang Wu, who had been following Bai Tan, suddenly asked.
"Uh, this, this..."
After hearing Wang Wu's words, Bai Tan also stopped, with an embarrassed look on his face.
"This, this... I actually wanted to ask my fellow tribesmen here after entering the forest, but it has been more than an hour, but I haven't seen even one of my tribe..."
He scratched his head in embarrassment, "Brother Li, why don't we go deeper? I guess if we go deeper, we should be able to see other members of the same clan."
"Then we probably have to walk for a while." Wang Wu said, "This area is not far from the place where human beings are active. I guess most monsters won't hang out here."
"Yes." Xie Yu also nodded, "Except for some demons...".
"Haha! Meat!! Meat! Meat!!!"
Just right, whatever you say will come.
A crazy voice sounded, and all the demons immediately looked towards the direction from which the voice came.
A figure quickly approached from a distance. Wang Wu could smell the other person's scent from a distance, but he didn't care.
A demon with an extremely gorgeous appearance, only his lower body was still wrapped in ragged rags, broke giant trees and rushed towards Wang Wu and the others.
But the expressions on the faces of the three demons were very dull. Xie Yu stood in front of Bai Tan because the real demon was stronger than his fiancé.
The demon was half human and half demonic. He was holding a half-empty fan in his hand, and his blood-red eyes were full of desire for food.
"Alas."
Wang Wu would always feel a little unbearable when he saw his compatriots in this form. But he also knew that for them in this state, the best outcome was death.
So he stepped forward, and before the excitement in the compatriot's eyes faded, a cold light shot out from his fingertips, instantly penetrating her abdomen and shattering her magic elixir.
Now that he has high-quality supplements, Wang Wu naturally no longer needs magic pills.
"RIP."
Wang Wu walked up to the fallen compatriot, and the cathode energy invaded her body, freezing her into an ice sculpture. He bent down and gently touched the other person's forehead with his fingers.
The opponent's body then shattered and turned into countless debris.
"Thank you for your generous action."
Another unfamiliar voice came from the forest. Wang Wu looked at a tree in front of them, where a beautiful figure was standing quietly.
A very distinctive face, at least the most distinctive one Wang Wu has ever seen. Because this face is quite ‘beautiful’.
This beauty refers to the kind of 'beautiful' face that Wang Wu had seen in certain fantasy works in his hometown, but it should be more realistic.
But it is still very different from these completely realistic monsters.
Moreover, Wang Wu also noticed that this birdman also had many monster characteristics.
For example, the feathers on the wrist, the four toes below, and the knife-like toe claws.
The moment he saw those feet, Wang Wu lost all interest.
It's boring, not interesting at all.
"I am Bai Dan, the son of the lord of Baiji City. I wonder which demon city the girl comes from?"
As soon as he saw this monster, all the expressions on Bai Tan's face condensed instantly. He bowed his hands respectfully to the banshee in a very serious manner and asked.
Then, he walked up to Wang Wu and purred into his ear.
After hearing what the other party said, Wang Wu looked at the other party and his eyes immediately became more desireless.
Not all harpies are the type who are extremely loyal to love. There are also countless ultimate sea kings among birds.
Even because birds are born with a higher average level of intelligence, they are even more defiant than those less intelligent animals to some extent.
Just like among parrots, there are lovebirds such as peony parrots and kakapos, which only have short-term but not long-term relationships. Naturally, the concept of companionship among birds cannot be generalized.
But there is no other way. After the monsters suffered too much in this regard, they would rather kill the bird monsters by mistake than let them go.
"Brother Li, Brother Li, don't think anything of this guy. This is a harpy, a harpy!"
This is what Bai Tan said to Wang Wu in his ear.
As soon as he said this sentence, Wang Wu's eyes became extremely clear when he looked at the other person, like a newborn child.
"The heroine."
Wang Wu also imitated the actions of his friend Bai Dan and bowed his hands respectfully.
And Xie Yu too.
Harpies are a species that is shunned by regular monsters like Wang Wu and others. The reason is actually very simple:
She will fall in love with you, but if you are not the kind of monogamous monster, then the end that awaits you is that she kills all the female monsters you have a relationship with, then kills you, and then commits suicide.
If she can beat you and those monsters, this is what will happen to her.
And if you can't beat her, she will never stop chasing you unless you kill her.
This is true for both men and women.
That's why.
"I'm from Lieyu City." The bird demon also jumped down from the tree at this time, and held her hands towards the three monsters. Then she looked at Wang Wu:
"I wonder why you brought your demon slave here..."
"They are not my demon slaves." Wang Wu said, "I am responsible for escorting them here."
"It's not an escort, it's not an escort." Bai Tan interrupted Wang Wu at this time, "We are friends..." But at this point, he stopped again and glanced at Wang Wu.
"Oh, yes, we are friends." Wang Wu smiled and patted Bai Tan on the shoulder, "I was afraid that something would happen to him on the road, so I escorted him here."
Hearing Wang Wu's proactive words and his hand on his shoulder, the emotion in his white eyes almost overflowed:
"Yes, yes." He nodded vigorously, "We are friends."
Bai Tan is really a good guy. He is loyal to his friends, generous and capable.
So Wang Wu thought about it and released the transformation.
"I actually look like this, and my surname is not Li." He looked at Bai Tan, who was not too surprised, and said.
