The nearby city of Matsukawa became Huang Mao's new target.

Songhe's specialty is refining yellow, which is a kind of silt-like spiritual material. When a practitioner applies it to his body and absorbs it with exercise, he can increase the defense of his body.

Such treasures that directly strengthen their strength are naturally very popular, and they are not worried about sales at all. However, most of the smuggling trade was monopolized by a few powerful caravans.

Originally, it was impossible for the yellow-haired lonely family to squeeze into this lucrative trade route. However, not long ago, someone in Songhe City released a commission and was willing to exchange a large amount of yellow refining spot for a certain product in Binhai City.

Huang Mao relied on his long-term connections in Binhai to get a batch of commissioned items. This time, it was on the way to Matsukawa City to deliver the goods.

The most important thing for a traveling merchant to walk in the wild is not strength, but two necessary abilities. The first is breathing, and the second is perception. Breath can greatly reduce one's own breath, so that the youkai can't find themselves. Perception, on the other hand, strives to detect the demon's breath at the greatest distance possible.

Huang Mao has practiced both abilities quite well, not only has he escaped the perception of Sun Da's master, but he has long found that there are several powerful monsters hidden in the factory on the side of the road.

Generally speaking, if you find a demon, you can avoid it. But it just so happened that this factory with hidden demons happened to be next to the road to Songhe. If he left the provincial road and took a detour to other side roads, not to mention the dangers he would encounter, the extra power consumed by the detour might prevent him from reaching the Songhe River directly.

At that time, he could only drag his broken "BMW" to the rest of the distance. Although the cultivator is powerful, the trailer is not a problem, but it is best not to do this.

So Huang Mao is particularly troubled, because his running level is first-class, and his offensive strength is not very good. If you drive the jeep directly over, the movement of the vehicle is too great, and the demons hidden inside will definitely chase it out and kill it. Then he'd have to bet that the monster's speed can't catch up with the jeep.

Eventually, he hid his car a little further away and came on foot to investigate. He hangs on a large tree, trying to see the hidden yokai in order to determine the next plan.

Unexpectedly, Shi Shiran, the head of Sun Da, came over and chopped up all the monsters that stood in the way with one knife. The powerful monster that has been bothering the yellow hair for a long time lies down before he even has time to make a sound.

What do you think if you're yellow-haired?

Of course, I came up immediately to slap the big guy!

He asked Sun Xiang to give a ride, but in fact he wanted to take Sun Xiang's free ride. Sun Xiang is chopping melons and vegetables all the way in front, and Huang Mao can easily pass the level as long as he shouts 666 all the way.

Isn't it beautiful?

Of course, this can't be regarded as him taking advantage of Sun Xiang, after all, Sun Da is tired of walking and needs someone to saddle up and serve him. The quality of this yellow hair is a little worse, but the barren mountains and mountains can't be too particular, right?

The yellow-haired jeep was parked in the grass on the side of the road not far away, and it was covered with a lot of construction debris. Occasionally, travelers passing by look at it, and it is estimated that it is a collapsed shack, and they lack interest in even taking a look.

He took all these sundries away, cleaned the co-pilot's seat with his sleeves, and respectfully greeted the head of Sunda. The back seat of the car was converted into a large trunk with some household items in it, as well as the goods he had poured upside down.

Traveling merchants are all over the world, and most of the time they eat and live in the car, which is quite difficult for modern people.

Huang Mao started the car and continued on the road, because he learned that Sun Xiang's destination was also Songhe, he happily honked the horn a few times. This is very loud in a quiet environment, and he is not afraid to attract youkai.

"Why don't you find a place to settle down, you are not bad, you can eat and drink spicy food in any city. Sun Xiang asked casually. Huang Mao's level of concealment left a little impression on him, and if he wanted, Sun Xiang could write him a letter of introduction to Xiaoyue. There is a shortage of people in the coastal area, and there is no coolie.

"I'm used to being free, it's impossible to go to work, it's impossible in this life. Huang Mao snorted and didn't mention it.

Cultivators are the precious wealth of every city, but not all cultivators are willing to find a city lord to serve and fight for the city lord every day. The reasons are varied.

Some people think that only by fighting demons every day in the wilderness can they improve their cultivation at the limit of life and death.

Some are addicted to treasure hunting in the wild and have no intention of living in one place for a long time.

Some offended the elders of the New World Society and were cornered.

Some simply thought that the treatment given by the city lord was too low.

However, Huang Mao does not belong to any of the above, he is a real gambling dog. Wherever he stays for more than a month, he will have a huge gambling debt and will have to run away.

So Huang Mao simply joined the traveling merchants, and once he came to make some gambling money, he might be able to return to his capital one day, right? There is a way that if you don't prostitute and don't know your health, if you don't gamble, you don't know when the time comes, and if you accidentally quit your gambling addiction, wouldn't you miss the good luck in vain?

Second, traveling merchants are wandering around, and it is not easy to be found by creditors. Huang Mao is tired of being beaten by creditors every day, and he likes to communicate in a more civilized way.

So the traveling merchant is a tailor-made business for him, and Huang Mao likes his work very much.

Good gambling addiction is glorious in his eyes, but it is difficult to talk about losing every time he gambles. Therefore, Huang Mao perfunctorily refused Sun Xiang's invitation, saying that he had been uninhibited and indulgent in his life, and that no city could leave his heart as a prodigal son.

Sun Xiang snorted disdainfully and didn't ask any more.

After changing to a jeep, the speed was much faster, but they still had to drive for two days on the dilapidated provincial road before reaching Songhe.

The wilderness is treacherous, but the road is not entirely without travelers.

At noon, they drove to a fork in the road. There is a big sign erected at the intersection, although it has been seriously corroded, you can clearly see the three big characters on it "Shuihou County". There is also a large arrow under the word, indicating the road into the county seat.

There were two cars parked under the sign, and five cultivators were discussing something around there. Seeing Huang Mao driving by, a glasses brother led by waved his hand excitedly and shouted:

"Great Mighty Dragon!"

Huang Mao immediately stepped on the accelerator and responded loudly:

"World-honored Jizo!"

Master Sun looked at him in surprise.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"It's jargon, meaning they want to buy something. Huang Mao opened the car door.

Generally speaking, travelers will choose to trade on the black market in the city, where security is more secure. Few people are willing to trade in the wild, and you must know that people are sinister. If the other party takes a fancy to the traveling merchant's property and wants it very much, it is a very good option to kill people and sell more goods than to pay according to the price.

Anyway, there are no police in this troubled world.

But powerful traveling merchants often agree to such temporary deals in the wild after weighing them up. There is no other reason, but wealth is moving.

Because according to the rules, the price of a wild trade is three times that of the black market in the city, which is a profit that no merchant can refuse.

Of course, it is not absolute, like now, there are five people on the other side, if there is only one person in Huangmao, it will definitely be avoided from a distance. Now, grandpa is sitting next to him, and he has a lot of confidence in his heart.

"What does the boss need?"

Huang Mao jumped out of the car, flatteringly greeted him, and praised the five of them. Brother glasses is praised as Lang Yan's unique and peerless, and a chick with short hair with ear-length ears in the back is touted as a heroine in the world.

The five-person team was praised and beautiful.

In fact, when I got closer to Huang Mao, I could already see that among the five people, only the glasses brother who was the leader barely reached the strength of the blue cloth, and the other four were gray-clothed miscellaneous soldiers who had just learned to draw qi.

He alone could clean up all five.

But why bother, multiple customers have multiple roads, and they make money in harmony. Make money on your knees, don't chill!

This five-person team should all be scavengers. The so-called waste pickers are the people who pick up garbage in the wild and transport it back to the city to sell. After the turmoil, the vast majority of civilians were evacuated to the cities, and there were still a lot of belongings left behind in the villages and towns where they had lived.

Many people took up the idea of these ownerless possessions, and they went out of the city in groups to rummage around the abandoned towns in search of useful things. Most of them were civilians, and occasionally there were cultivators of low strength.

This line of work is not very profitable. Because what is valuable in this year is all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures, fairy grass and spiritual objects. Picking up a top-of-the-line computer can't be exchanged for a can. However, discovering valuable spiritual objects requires entering the wilderness, and the more precious the treasure, the more likely it is that powerful youkai will roam nearby.

Therefore, scavenging in abandoned towns has become the choice of many lowly cultivators. If you're lucky enough to find a food warehouse, you're in for a treat.

Brother Glasses and his four younger brothers come from a city in another direction. There, several small villages on the outskirts of the city have long been turned upside down by them, as clean as if they had been enforced by the courts.

Therefore, this time they traveled for two days and one night, wanting to try their luck in Shuihou County, which was relatively far away.

Their luck is really bad, judging from the signs under the county name sign, this place has been patronized by more than a dozen groups of scavengers. And when they were investigating the periphery, they also found traces of resentful spirits inside.

The ancients said: People don't live and ghosts are born. These resentful spirits should be born in the environment of heaven and earth aura, just like the wild monsters that refresh from time to time in the game. If you run into it, you can only count yourself unlucky.

Brother Glasses' squad is not strong enough, except for himself, the other four people only have the strength of gray clothes, and they can't form a true yuan defense on the surface of the body. Therefore, it is impossible to resist the possession of resentful spirits. If you suffer a lot, you will inevitably be in a hurry, and maybe someone will die here.

In their case, the best solution is to apply sobering ointment to the forehead. This is a low-grade elixir made of purple leaf mint, which is used by ordinary people and can also resist the possession of resentful spirits.

But this is an elixir after all, ordinary people can't afford to use it, and a large number of gray-clothed cultivators who don't have True Yuan Defense are the main customers of this elixir.
