Chapter 298 Resource Monopoly
In the era of prosperity of the human race, the strength of the demon clan is not weak. Relying on its special cultivation system and harsh environment, it can withstand the strong suppression of the human race, even if many powerful immortals attack. It also failed to truly eliminate the invasion and infiltration of the demon clan. After the emergence of the Ten Thousand Spirits List, as the human race gradually weakened, the demon clan, which had lost its suppression and restraint, had an increasing scope of infiltration into all walks of life.
Especially in chaotic places like the Abyss of Darkness, demons have long been active in various areas. However, after the rise of powerful ethnic groups such as the demon clan, the spirit clan, and the flame clan, they are also wary of the demons. , and secretly suppressed it, which made it difficult for the demons to have a clear gathering place like other ethnic groups. Of course, this is mainly because the demons don’t like to stay outside. They mostly stay in the demon world and then pass through the space. Special environments such as cracks penetrate into the practice areas of various ethnic groups, harassing and plundering them.
As for these space cracks, the demon clan and other groups basically ignore them, because the space in the Abyss of Darkness is unstable. Even if the cracks are sealed, others will appear after a while. Come.
Since Shen Ping established the Zhenbao Pavilion, the Anjia caravan has been harassed by demons many times. However, the demons that harassed them are all demons at the level of Jindan Yuanying. Sometimes there are demons disguised as demons. These things are simple. It could be solved by relying on the guests in the cabinet, but he didn't take it to heart.
Therefore, after hearing An Zhiyuan's words, Shen Ping couldn't help showing a hint of surprise, "Why, is it possible that the demon clan's harassment force has increased in recent days?"
An Zhiyuan nodded, "It has indeed increased. Last time There are also demon monks at the Lianxu level, and there are also powerful demon cultivators to help. If a senior Lianxu from Jianyin City hadn't happened to pass by, the caravan would have been completely wiped out."
"The senior suspected that the demons might be targeting the True Treasure Pavilion, and the demons have indeed become more active recently, so that's why he made this suggestion!"
Listen.
Shen Ping was stunned, but still confused: "The whereabouts of demon monks have always been unpredictable. Apart from accompanying the caravan, it is difficult to have any other way to deal with it!"
The demon clan's harassment is like a guerrilla attack. They come several times every now and then. Their main purpose is to plunder the monks' flesh, blood and spiritual soul. They are especially fond of Nascent Soul.
An Zhiyuan shook his head and said: "This subordinate doesn't know."
To deal with the demon monks.
There is really no good way.
Even if you use special means to mark your whereabouts, you can only kill one or two. It won't be long before others appear again. Sometimes you even encounter demonic cultivators in disguise, who are even more cunning.
In the past, the biggest headache for their Anjia caravan was facing the demonic cultivators. They had no choice but to rely on formations and treasures to resist. The only good thing was that there were not many space cracks in Greystone City, and the demonic cultivators were not very strong either. powerful.
But Jianyin City is different. The location of this cultivation city is no longer on the edge of the Black Mist Jedi, but rather in the hinterland of the Western District.
Had it not been for the demon clan, the human race, and the spirit clan to join forces to suppress it, the demon clan would have overrun the situation.
Think about it.
Shen Ping decided to go to Jianyin City.
In any case, caravans are currently the top priority for the development of Zhenbao Pavilion. Like Zhenbao Pavilion in Wuzhou, the reason why it can control every area relies on the powerful caravan resource transportation and extremely fast transmission. .
The total round trip from Greystone City to Heisha Valley and then to other remote cities or gathering places takes less than two or three months. Therefore, Zhenbao Pavilion can quickly develop branch pavilions, but the journey from Jianyin City to Greystone City is less than two or three months. The distance to Shicheng is relatively far.
Even if you use a high-grade flying boat magic weapon to travel, it will take more than two months to go back and forth.
If you really ignore it and allow the demon monks to plunder and wreak havoc, then Zhenbao Pavilion will not be able to gain a foothold in Jianyin City, and it will be impossible to develop intelligence and control various information.
This is about your own life.
Shen Ping is naturally serious.
So the next day, he set out for Jianyin City, and this time he also accompanied the caravan.
On the deck of a large flying boat.
The strong wind blows loudly and trembles with fluorescence around the edge of the flying boat.
Looking at the scenery passing by on both sides.
Shen Ping's eyes were calm, but his consciousness was communicating with Master Lian Xuejin.
"Disciple."
"The interests of the monks are paramount. You must be extra vigilant when going to Jianyin City this time. Although the human race is gradually declining, this does not mean that the human race monks will We will work together..."
"Master, my disciple understands"
He knows what the master means.
The purpose of the human seniors in Jianyin City may not be to deal with the harassment of demon cultivators, but maybe they just use this as a reason to want to see him. After all, Zhenbao Pavilion is now quite famous in Jianyin City, let alone being able to attack. Not everyone can kill Shi Hu at the Void Refining level.
One month later.
The caravan members on the flying boat were obviously a lot nervous.
See this.
An Zhiyuan explained: "In front of you is Wanku Mountain. Demonic monks often harass this area. It is said that there are several space cracks deep in Wanku Mountain. There are sect fusion seniors from Jianyin City who have gone to investigate. I searched, but found nothing..."
"The last time I met the Demon Clan's strong Void Refiner was also here."
Shen Ping nodded secretly, but his expression did not waver at all. Other monks were afraid of the Demon Clan monks, but he was not. He had the beast The shape puppet and the higher beast spirit treasure are...
Boom!
While thinking.
The flying boat suddenly shook violently.
An Zhiyuan's face changed, and he gathered his magic power and sounded out: "Devil attack! Demon attack!"
咻咻咻.
Hundreds of members of the caravan all flashed around the deck, their mana surged, and the entire formation of the airship suddenly glowed with fluorescence.
Boom!
At this time, more than a dozen flame-like black energy balls from the mountains not far away bombarded the airship. The fluorescence vibrated out layers of ripples, and the airship began to shake.
An Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "Pavilion Master, this is a tentative attack by the demon monks. If Feizhou cannot withstand this, they will rush over in a swarm. If they can withstand it, they will send out strong men to harass, but there are If he is defeated, he will flee immediately."
Shen Ping squinted at the depths of the mountains. His consciousness quickly swept out and easily extended to the surface of the mountains. He saw that the place was as bare as if it had been burned by fire. There are dense caves on the surface, and those black energy balls are blasted out of the caves.
As soon as his consciousness was about to penetrate along a black cave, he immediately frowned, and his consciousness was infiltrated by a dark and evil energy.
This kind of energy is like a tarsal maggot. Not only is it difficult to eliminate it instantly after being contaminated, but it will also feel like your consciousness is being devoured and digested, which is very uncomfortable.
He hurriedly took it back, and then used the power of the dark golden beast in his Dantian to quickly eliminate the remaining dark energy.
Bang bang bang!
Feizhou was constantly attacked and lasted for half a cup of tea.
At the mountain range, there were two powerful monks with soaring demonic energy attacking from the left and right sides.
“He is a demon monk at the level of becoming a god!”
“Start the formation!”
An Zhiyuan's voice shook.
The caravan has long been experienced in dealing with attacks by demonic monks. With the influx of mana and a large number of spiritual stones, the spiritual patterns carved on the edge of the flying boat continued to flash, and bursts of drum sounds came from these spiritual patterns. As soon as the sound came out, the aura quickly enveloped the entire flying boat.
If you look at it from the outside, you will find that the aura shield looks like a fish drum.
"Pavilion Master, these god-transforming demon monks usually only attack the tea time, and the formation of Feizhou can definitely sustain it!"
Shen Ping couldn't help but ask: "This is Why?" An Zhiyuan replied: "The caravan that can withstand the attack of the demon cultivator has a lot of strength. Even if they finally break through the formation defense, they will have to spend a lot of energy. Then they will have to fight with the caravan members. Fighting and consuming more is not worth the loss for them, of course, this is the case in most cases..."
While the two were talking.
The demon monks increased their attacks.
Compared to the human race, the spirit race, the flame race, the feather race and other races.
The demons usually attack with powerful bodies. In this regard, they are similar to the demons, but the demons can also use their innate magical powers and use magic weapons, etc., but the demons believe more in their own blood bodies. .
Time passes little by little.
Shen Ping stood on the deck and watched quietly. Sure enough, as soon as the cup of tea arrived, the two demons transformed into gods saw that it was difficult to break through Feizhou's defense formation, so they turned around and prepared to leave.
But at this time.
A beast-shaped puppet rushed out of the formation, jumped to one of the demons at lightning speed, and stepped on it heavily with its hoofs and claws.
The demon rushed forward without even thinking.
Bang!
The huge force penetrated directly through the body of this demon, and the energy containing the power of strange beasts quickly tore apart the demon.
Although the demons are stronger than the demons and humans, facing a puppet that exceeds the sixth level, one mask was seriously injured and fell. When another demon saw this scene, he was shocked at first, Then he burned his blood and started fighting with the beast-shaped puppet.
At the same time.
The black energy ball from the mountain cave was blasted out again, and the target was the beast-shaped puppet.
It's a pity that they don't know how terrifying the beast-shaped puppet is.
Just a few breaths.
The two demons who transformed themselves into gods were completely killed.
"The recovery ability of demons is extremely strong, but no matter how strong it is, it takes time..."
Shen Ping put away the two demon corpses and said calmly.
An Zhiyuan, who was beside him, glanced at the beast-shaped puppet with envy, nodded quickly and said, "The Pavilion Master is right!"
"Let's go!"
Soon.
The flying boat flashed past Wanku Mountain and headed towards Jianyin City.
The caves in Wanku Mountain are very deep and extend in all directions. When it is difficult for spiritual consciousness to penetrate and explore, it is more dangerous to go deep into them rashly.
A few days later.
Jianyin City has arrived.
Looking from a distance from Feizhou, the Jianyin City looks like a wide Jianyin Canyon. The steep peaks on both sides surround the city and spread towards the depths. It is just that compared to what Shen Ping once did in Wuzhou. Having stayed in Qingyang City, Lanhai Immortal City and other places in the world, the scale of Jianyin City is much smaller, but it is still the number one cultivation city near the edge of the black mist.
There is a forbidden air formation near the city.
The flying boat stopped early.
The caravan marched along the wide stone road built toward the tall city gate.
Along the way, you can see all kinds of creatures of all races coming and going in and out of the city in an endless stream. Some demon clans even use their bodies to walk, and there are also wood clans, etc., but their bodies are deliberately shrunk, and Just slightly larger than humans.
“Before the emergence of Wanlingbang, although there were ethnic groups, the relatively vague Jianyin City was mainly dominated by sects and family forces, and other ethnic groups also relied on sects and families. family, but after the Ten Thousand Spirits List, the separation between ethnic groups has become more and more obvious. However, after all, monks are different in strength and weakness. Although the human race is lonely, the strength of the sects and families in Jianyin City is still very strong. Currently, only the demon clan and The Spirit Race can compete with them..."
Listening to An Zhiyuan's introduction, Shen Ping couldn't help but said: "The seniors in Jianyin City are not weak. If we take a little care of Gray Stone City and other places, it shouldn't be difficult. Right? "
What he means is that if an incarnation monk like An Zhiyuan joins a sect or relies on family vassal protection, he will not struggle to survive among various clans.
An Zhiyuan sighed helplessly, "This was true in the early years, but in recent thousands of years, the sects and families near Jianyin City have been shrinking in power. The reason is that some of the fused seniors have a short lifespan, and the monsters The clan and the spirit clan are becoming more and more powerful, and they use the competition as a reason to find the fusion seniors to fight with each other."
"As long as the skills are fought, it will affect one's own foundation to a certain extent. Once seriously injured, it will also shorten the life span, so. Gradually, almost all the seniors of the fusion went into seclusion and would not show up easily. The Jing family in Greystone City was actually vassalized to the Yun family in Jianyin City. But as you, Pavilion Master, have also seen, the Jing family was wiped out by the Shihu clan. The Yun family didn’t come forward either!”
Shen Ping was silent.
Obviously, the sects and family forces in Jianyin City are protecting themselves wisely, because everyone knows that the strength of the Yao Clan, Spirit Clan, Yan Clan, Yu Clan and other ethnic groups are increasing. In this case, Only self-protection is the best way.
It didn’t take long.
The caravan entered the branch of Zhenbao Pavilion.
The station is not big.
After all, this is Jianyin City, and every inch of land is precious. Even the nearby sects and families find it difficult to occupy much land in the city.
"Pavilion Master, please take a rest for now. I will contact the senior right away!"
It is evening.
When An Zhiyuan came back, he cupped his hands and said, "That senior will come to my Zhenbao Pavilion in person one day."
"Okay."
The next day.
Shen Ping did not meditate in Fenge Shop, but wandered around with An Zhiyuan. There were only three main streets in the whole Jianyin City, and there were many shops on both sides of the streets. Overall, it was no different from the cultivation cities all over the world. , the only difference is that there are so many types of shops, like the shop of the flower tribe monk, which is completely like a flower.
Except for shops.
Chunlou Song Square and so on are also available.
However, neither Shen Ping nor An Zhiyuan was interested. The shops they visited were mainly Dan Pavilion, utensil shops and other places that sold items and resources.
Just walked around a few times.
I didn’t see any good materials.
"Pavilion Master, we generally sell materials below the sixth level. Those of the sixth level and above can only be encountered at auctions... The same is true for our True Treasure Pavilion in Jianyin City."
Shen Ping knew that this was a resource monopoly.
The same is true in the five continents and the four seas. If the monks who want to improve themselves, they can only go to the Zhongsheng Continent. And here, the monks who transform themselves can only obtain the resources to improve their practice at auctions.
Wander until noon.
Shen Ping lost interest and returned to Zhenbao Pavilion to meditate.
