Manshan Castle.

Located in the middle of the Linghe clan domain and the wild ancient land of Xichi Mountain, the city is not big, the radius is three miles, the city wall is made of dark mountain stones, filled with traces of ancient vicissitudes.

Don't look at the city is not big, but the years have been a long time, eight thousand years ago, there were warriors looking for cultivation resources in Xichi Mountain, and found a city ruins, and later people gradually established a barbarian mountain city on the ruins of the abandoned city.

Walking in the Manshan City, you can see the animal pattern carved on the stone tower of the stone hall in the city, which is completely different from the animal pattern style in the northwest region, and is more rough and ancient.

This is a beast pattern found in the ruins of an ancient castle, and it was considered to have maintained its original appearance when the castle was built.

There are not many people coming and going in the city, but the blood on each body is very rich, exuding a strong evil aura, Xia Tuo found that the warriors living here are much stronger than the warriors in the clan.

Not only that, even if it was an ordinary person, the blood qi on his body actually overshadowed the limit of a quasi-totem warrior, and he saw that many strong men were obviously not totem warriors, but their aura was even more powerful than the ordinary Cracked Stone Realm.

The blood is vigorous, and the body is strong.

It is normal for people who can live in a place full of miasma to be different, and the warriors who have lived here have already adapted to the environment over the years.

......

Walking into a food gate, soon a small servant brought up a copper axe, the meat in the kettle was fragrant, and there were mountain mushrooms and mountain grasses mixed in it.

Cooked in the kettle is a wind bird, a fierce beast that lives in the West Pond Mountain, with tender meat and blood.

Naturally, this little thing is nothing to Xia Tuo, but he is still interested in Xichi Mountain, not to mention the Wind Feather Bird, just the mountain treasures in the kettle, which are rare in the Northwest Regions.

There are also mountain mushrooms in the Wangu Mountains, but they are too far apart in size and quality, and it is obvious that Xichi Mountain is next to the wild ancient land, which has created different species here and the outside world.

"The cold grass in the Poison Dragon Pond on the west side of the mountain range is almost ripe. ”

"The cold grass is the elixir to drive away the miasma, whether we can enter the depths of the wild ancient land this year, we still have to rely on these cold grasses, it seems that it will be another dragon fight. ”

"The wild ancient land is full of miasma, and the forest is full of poisonous insects, just the cold grass can only relieve the miasma, and the poison of other snakes, insects, rats and ants is also a big trouble, and it takes a long time to prepare for entering the ancient land. ”

......

"I heard that there is a golden bone flower at the bottom of the ground five thousand miles deep in the ancient land, which is the elixir of refining the body, the golden bone flower has only matured for two hundred years, and when it was discovered more than twenty years ago, there was already a medicine spirit of nearly one hundred and five years, the aura of the ancient land is rich, and the medicinal power accumulates quickly, I am afraid that this golden bone flower is about to mature. ”

"The big man of the Golden Bone Flower looks down on it, and he will not risk his life easily, but it is not easy for us to get it, five thousand miles of wild ancient land, poisonous miasma, life and death, even if it is with an antidote, just with you and me, we have to be poisoned inside. ”

......

Sitting in the mountain city, listening to the words of the warriors who came and went around him, these people were all people who begged for a living in the mountain city, and some of them had lived here for generations, forming several small families.

That's right, it's a small family, this is the first time Xia Tuo has seen a family in the wilderness, a family with the same bloodline.

These small families each have their own totems, and they are seriously xenophobic, even if they increase the population, they also give birth to blood related offspring through marriage.

After thinking about it, he walked out of the Wild Mountain City, turned over several small mountain ranges all the way to the west, and entered the Wild Ancient Land, ready to collect some of the cold grass in the mouths of the people.

After turning over Xichi Mountain, there is a miasma of green smoke in the eyes, every wisp stimulates the spirit and spirit, the miasma spreads like a cloud and is boundless, and below is an endless wilderness, the grass and trees are verdant, and there is a low roar of the beast.

Holding his breath and concentrating, isolating the inhalation of the miasma, Xia Tuo headed towards the Poison Dragon Pool.

People who have lived here for a long time have already had a way to deal with these miasma, and there are naturally antidote herbs for miasma, which are everywhere in the mountains and forests, of course, they can only be simply detoxified, and people who are really poisoned are not good.

Most of the warriors who lived in the Barbarian Mountain City entered the Barbarian Old Forest at noon, when the sun was at its peak, and brought all kinds of prepared antidote herbs, and it generally did not take too long from entering to coming out.

Even if it is a Heavenly Vein Realm martial artist, it will come out in two or three days at most.

And once they get out of the wild old forest, most of them will rest outside for ten days and half a month to remove the toxins in their bodies, and then they will be ready to enter the old forest for the second time to find resources.

You can't cultivate in the Wild Ancient Forest, once you inhale the aura containing toxins and erode the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Vein, it is equivalent to stepping into the ghost gate with half a foot, and some poisonous gases can't be detected when they are first ingested into the human body, and it is too late to notice them.

Miasma was nothing to Xia Tuo, he soon came to the outside of the Poisonous Dragon Pond as stated by the warriors in Manshan City, the so-called Poisonous Dragon Pond is a valley with a radius of several miles, and there are several dark holes in the valley, and there are pools of water in the cave that exude coldness.

On the edge of the cold pond grows a kind of verdant, about a foot high, spiritual grass, crystal clear.

Roar!

In the cold pool, a giant crocodile with black armor attached to its whole body rushed out, exuding a strong evil aura, and was slapped into the cold pool again by Xia Tuo, and the black armor was shattered, and the tendons were broken and fractured.

After taking the cold grass in a cave, Xia Tuo left the Poison Dragon Pond and returned to Manshan City, and saw if he could bring these antidote herbs back to the tribe for cultivation.

......

Returning to the city of Manshan, he appeared in a place called the Black Stone Tower.

"Your Excellency, I don't know what you need, as long as I have all the Black Stone Towers produced in Manshan City. ”

Sitting in the stone building, Xia Tuo looked around, the stone chairs and stone tables were carved and the beams and pillars were drawn, and a deacon of the Heavenly Vein Realm stood respectfully opposite.

"I want the mountain treasures and elixirs that Manshan City has. ”

His orders, the deacon of the Black Stone Building did not dare to slack off, and soon all kinds of strange spiritual objects and mountain treasures of all sizes were placed in front of him.

Roughly speaking, there are no less than 100 kinds of mushrooms, and there are more than 10 kinds of mountain mushrooms alone, each of which contains a trace of aura.

It stands to reason that growing in an environment with a rich poisonous miasma, these mountain treasures should contain some toxins, but these things that appeared in front of him did not contain toxins, which was also strange.

Looking at the things in front of him, Xia Tuo felt that he was really guarding a treasure trove, but he didn't know that the Wangu Mountain Range could directly enter the Wild Ancient Land to the west, and the clan could completely obtain resources from it.

Of course, the premise is that the miasma problem must be solved first.

Soon he threw out the beast core and put away all the things in front of him, but the spirit crystal was not willing to spend it.

Not only that, but he also obtained a scroll of animal skins from the Black Stone Building about the mountain treasures, on which were written the names of these things and the living environment.

......

On the fourth day, the old man of the gourd appeared in Manshan City.

"Come and try it, the mountain treasures here are really good, they taste good. ”

Xia Tuo pushed the meat-scented copper kettle to the old man of the gourd, and the old man glared at Xia Tuo for a while, and said: "Not long after you left Kui Lei, the Kui Lei clan master led people to ambush the ghost master, but I didn't expect the ghost master to be cunning, and took out a witch treasure and escaped at a critical moment. ”

"The ghost lord has a witch treasure?"

The so-called witch treasure is a one-time witch weapon made by a strong person above the witch honor, and the effect is different, and the ghost master is a flying witch weapon in his hand.

"How do you know that?"

Xia Tuo looked at the old man of the gourd in surprise, the Lord of the Kui Lei Clan ambushed the Ghost Lord, this should be a very secret thing.

"The old man personally participated. ”

"You're not~~"

Xia Tuo was stunned, this is not like the style of the old man of the gourd.

"In order to ambush the ghost lord, and in order not to attract attention, the Lord of the Kui Lei Clan brought all the Elders of the Kui Thunder Clan, and all the Elders of the Kui Lei Tribe's Guest Elders were arranged out in advance.

The old man was appointed to sit in a small ore vein, and within a few days of going to the small ore vein, he got the edict again and gathered in the Rotten Bone Wasteland, so everyone met the Kuilei Clan Lord in the Rotten Bone Wasteland.

In this way, the Lord of the Kuilei Clan took our four Elders Keqing and ambushed the Ghost Lord in Dongbi Mountain. ”

The old man of the gourd paused and said, "Until this time, the old man knew that the person who was besieging and killing was the ghost master. ”

"Did you really make a move?"

"Shot. The old man of the gourd did not blush and his heart did not beat, and said: "The old man's strength is too meager, so he was hit hard by the ghost master and fell to the ground." ”

I believe you're a ghost!

Xia Tuo could only listen to half of this old man's words.

"In the past few years, the Kuilei tribe has also been looking for the ghost master, but this guy is really hidden and has not got a trace of his whereabouts. ”

Waving his hand, the old man of the gourd muttered: "That's all the old man knows, and the rest really doesn't know." ”

"By the way, the old man has another thing here, so I'll give it to you too. ”

As he spoke, the gourd old man took out a package of animal skins, which contained a set of grimace masks and animal robes.

"This is the Grimace Judge's clothes. ”

Xia Tuo opened it and immediately recognized this thing, and couldn't help but glance at the old man of the gourd, this old guy is really hiding deeply.

The ghost lord's subordinate Grimace Judge, who also entered the small world of the Reclamation Realm back then, killed the black and white impermanence, but he didn't expect the Grimace Judge to be taken down by the old man in front of him.

Obviously, the old man of the gourd gave him this thing because he wanted to dump the pot, and he didn't want to have anything to do with the ghost master at all, after all, the clothes of the ghost face coil were considered a witch weapon, even if it was barter, he would exchange it for a lot of spirit crystals.

But the old man has been hiding for so many years, and he didn't even make a move, and he really can.

"The old man has sealed the order of the Lord of Thunder this time, patrolling this area, and he can't stay in Manshan City for a long time, so he leaves. ”

After that, the old man of the gourd got up and left, and paused before walking out of the stone building, and said, "Don't come to the old man, the old man still wants to live a few more years." ”

Putting away the grimace judge's clothes, Xia Tuo also got up and left the Wild City, and the news of looking for the ghost master from the old man of the gourd seemed to be broken.

It's just that what he didn't expect was why the Kuilei tribe ambushed the ghost master, you must know that in the process of establishing the Kuilei tribe, the slave forces should also play a role secretly, what is the reason?

The entire Northwest is simply a mess.

He is entering now, which is not considered to be a mess.

Leaving Manshan City, Xia Tuo returned directly to the Wangu Domain and joined up with Fat Brother.

Golden Wood Castle.

Tu Zeyu scattered the city, there is also a slave bazaar in the city, and the deacon of the bazaar has already been branded with the mark of tribal slaves.

"How's it going?"

In the stone house, Xia Tuo sat opposite the fat brother and the snail.

The fat brother shook his head, and then whispered, "All the slave bazaars are operating normally, but they haven't received an edict from above for several years. ”

"You're saying the Slave Bazaar is functioning properly?"

Hearing this, Xia Tuo was stunned, the slave owners were all burping, who was maintaining the operation of the slave bazaar?

"Yes, I suspect that the slave forces have a hidden transportation line, even if there is no slave owner to control it, this transportation line can support the operation of slave bazaars everywhere for a while. ”

Xia Tuo nodded, the great forces that can spread throughout the entire continent really can't be measured with idle eyes.

The big slaves in the Northwest Regions have been hit hard, and the small slave owners have lost more than half, but the basic slave bazaar of this big force is still operating normally, which is really a.

"Is there anything else to discover. ”

"Patriarch, when I was torturing a warrior in a slave market in Black Crocodile City, he said that he accidentally found that there were a lot fewer black leeches on death row, and the rest of his breath was also sluggish. ”

At this time, Luo said loudly that no one could bear his evil curse, so he was definitely handy for interrogation.

"I went to ask the deacons of the slave bazaars in Jinmu City, Zejin City, and Watershed City, and they sent back the news that this had happened to the leeches on death row in their respective cities. ”

As he spoke, the snail spread out his palm, and a leech with a cold body was surging in his palm, his body was soft and crystalline, and he looked very pleasing.

"Look, patriarch. ”

As he spoke, a golden needle appeared in the snail's hand and pierced it towards the leech's body, and suddenly bright red blood overflowed from the leech's body, containing a kind of vitality.

"It's essence blood. ”

Xia Tuo squinted at the leech rolling in his body, but the blood overflowing from his body couldn't be faked.

"The patriarch is looking at this. ”

Then a leech with a pale golden body appeared and stabbed at its body, the same blood flowing, except that three extremely thin gold threads appeared in the blood.

After the three golden lines appeared, a scorching fire suddenly filled a small area.

"The power of the bloodline!"

Thinking back to the Huolin tribesmen who were locked in death row, Xia Tuo seemed to understand.

The snail hand played the black light spell, and the two leeches rolled and began to bite each other, and in the blink of an eye, the leech containing the power of blood swallowed the other ordinary leeches.

"Patriarch, this thing can refine witch Gu, and it works very well. ”

Looking at Luo's gloomy look, Xia Tuo and the fat brother couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, no wonder the wild land changed color when they heard the curse, they didn't play with you honestly, a trick in their heads.

"I said Brother Luo, you secretly won't give me a whole thing for my brother. ”

The fat brother looked at the snail and said, "You are this thing that absorbs blood, can you help the fat brother lose weight." ”

The fat brother pointed to his full body of horizontal meat, and his eyes lit up.

Looking at the leech witch Gu that the snail pushed in front of him, the fat brother pushed his body back, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's good to have flesh." ”

"Since the ghost master has been hit hard, then he must heal, will he extract the blood qi drawn by the leech to heal the wound, let's follow this clue to investigate. ”

"Have you checked the slave bazaars in Cangshui and Tuze?"

"In the area ruled by our tribe, there are a total of seven slave markets, and the remaining Cangshui Feng Shui City has not been checked, and the breath of the black leeches in the death row of the remaining six slave markets is sluggish, if the ghost lord is really absorbing blood and qi to heal his wounds, these places should all come. ”

"Apparently the ghost lord seems to be very careful, and entered every slave bazaar without informing the deacon. ”

......

After thinking about it, Xia Tuo said: "I remember that the ghost deacon said that there are a total of nine slave bazaars under the rule of the ghost master, which are distributed on the north and south sides of the Kuogu Mountain, seven in the north and two in the south, let's chase down this line." ”

......

A day later, the Feng Shui City Slave Bazaar.

"The leeches on death row have a sluggish breath, and most of them have already drained their blood. ”

"Let's go, go to the south of the Mt. Kunshan. ”

......

The slave bazaars under the rule of the ghost lord Qiu Feng, south of Kunshan Mountain, are in Wanguang City and Blackfish City respectively, which are not secrets at all to Xia Tuo, who has secretly controlled most of the slave bazaars.

Almost every scattered city in the wilderness has a slave market, but not every slave market belongs to the slave palace, and some are bought and sold by the big tribes themselves.

Three days later, Blackfish City.

"The ghost lord is likely to be in the slave bazaar in the city. ”

Xia Tuo and the three of them chose a hundred-zhang stone building, just enough to see the slave bazaar, they have been to Wanguang City, and the leeches on death row have lost their vitality.

"Blackfish City is too close to Beacon City, so we didn't attack it in the first place. ”

The fat brother pointed to the slave bazaar and said.

And there is a trace of regret in Luo's eyes, I don't know that there are a few slaves from big tribes on the underground death row here, and their inheritance has not been recorded and died, which is really a pity.

"Beacon Fire City is occupied by the Luo Shui Bo Department, and an elder of the Divine Hidden Realm is in charge, this place is only four thousand miles away from the Beacon Fire City, and the foot distance of the Divine Hidden Realm can be said to be half a day. Xia Tuo spoke up and said.

"So once it is determined that the ghost master is hiding here, we must fight quickly, take down the ghost master, and then leave here, and now we can't have any intersection with the people of the Luoshui Bo Department. ”

"Patriarch, I'll take a look. ”

Luo said loudly at this time, seeing Xia Tuo nodding, he went downstairs towards the slave bazaar.

Watching the snail enter the slave bazaar, Xia Tuo and the fat brother waited quietly in the stone building, and the snail returned after half an hour.

"How?"

"There are people on death row who are cultivating. ”

The snail's eyes were glowing, jumping like ghost fire, and the witch mark at the center of his eyebrows was even more smoky, transforming into a hideous black shadow.

"I've sent the witch Gu to a water prison. ”

At this moment, the snail eyes were scorching, and he looked at Xia Tuo and said, "Patriarch, after taking down the ghost master, can you hand it over to me to concoct a witch guard." ”

"Hmm. ”

Xia Tuo nodded, the cultivation of cursed witches is weird and evil, but as long as he guards the tribe and does not harm his own people, he doesn't care about cultivating any law.

"Brother Luo, can you take him down yourself?"

The fat brother waved his little jade axe, he had never seen the strength of the ghost master, but now that Xia Tuo had cultivated to such a realm, he called him just in case, which showed the strength of the ghost master.

"Cursed Witches are never serious people. ”

Luo sat on the stone chair, his hands shrunk in his black robe, and groaned.

From the moment he embarked on the curse, he knew that he would walk in the shadows for the rest of his life, holding evil in his hands and gaining notoriety.
