145. Desert Lonely City
The territory of the desolate tribe in the Southern Great Wilderness, thousands of miles of red land, as far as the eye can see, except for the mine, there is flat land everywhere. And the horizon is almost non-existent, and the line of sight can stretch for thousands of miles.
During the escape, Chen Feng had to feel that although it was only a world attached to the earth, the area was no longer much smaller than the surface of the earth, and even more so.
He rushed all the way to the north, and the iron cavalry of the Desolate Clan in the rear had been closely pursuing, and at least hundreds of Desolate War Horses were galloping over, and the black pressure was overwhelming, as if even the heavens and the earth were about to be crushed.
I ran hundreds of miles in a row, and I still couldn't get rid of them.
"Brother, brother!"
Suddenly, Hong Shuhao on his back came to his senses and clung to Chen Feng's clothes.
Without waiting for her to speak, Chen Feng interrupted: "Don't speak, don't say anything to ask me to leave first, you stay and break the queen, I'll run with you, the Desolate Iron Horse can't catch up!"
"That's not what I meant..."Hong Shuhao said with difficulty, "Behind us, it's just the light cavalry of the Desolate Clan, you go to the west, there is a Terran city two hundred miles away... Jincheng... I have acquaintances in there!"
After speaking, Hong Shuhao's head tilted and fainted briefly.
"Good. ”
Chen Feng nodded, turned his head and rushed westward, the two-hundred-mile journey, almost less than an hour, arrived before sunset.
In the distance, many roads crisscrossed the wasteland, and a city in the middle was surrounded by towering walls on all sides, surrounded by iron barrels, and there was a moat around it.
It was sunset, and the gates were slowly closing.
Chen Feng frowned, where did he care so much, and was about to take a leap.
Suddenly, dozens of archers stood out on the city wall, aiming at Chen Feng in unison, bending their bows and arrows.
The leader of the lead, when he found that there were two humans below, frowned and said:
"Who are you, and where are you from?"
"We came from a mine in the south. Chen Feng replied casually.
"Mines?"
The leader was stunned, reacted suddenly, and exclaimed: "Are you talking about the Ninth Street Mine? That's the territory of the Desolate Clan, and the people who went in have never been out, so honestly, are you a spy of the Desolate Clan?!"
"It's not. Chen Feng shook his head.
Unexpectedly, the leader burst into a shout:
"Then you must be an undercover agent, release arrows!"
Chen Feng's face was cold, and when he turned around and vaguely saw the iron cavalry of the desolate clan, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and was about to kick open the city gate.
At this time, Hong Shuhao, who was lying on his back, raised his head and said slowly:
"I, my surname is Hong... The people of the dragon city... I know Miss Lanjing, so let me know. ”
"Do you know Miss Lan?" the leader was stunned when he heard this, raised his hand and said, "Don't let go of the arrow yet, let me report it." You watch for them, and I'll come quickly!"
The leader turned and entered the city, and about half a pillar of incense, the two huge gates were opened, and a group of guards came out and stood on either side.
Under their embrace, a girl in brocade came out, wearing a medium-class delicate dress, her skin was very white, her pupils were also sky blue, and her eyes were deep, with a hint of the characteristics of a woman in the continent.
"Brother Shuhao!"
Seeing Hong Shuhao, the girl was overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned her subordinates to come over and carried Hong Shuhao into the city on a stretcher.
"Who are you from Brother Shuhao?" the girl looked at Chen Feng and said.
Chen Feng shrugged: "The friend who met in Pingshui happened to save his life." ”
"It turned out to be the benefactor of Brother Shuhao!" the girl heard this, her pupils dilated slightly, and she nodded, "Then Your Excellency, please also enter the city." ”
Entering the city, walking on the wide streets, there are ancient buildings on both sides, just like walking in the city of Suzhou and Hangzhou thousands of years ago.
While walking and chatting, Chen Feng learned that the girl's name was Lan Jing, the young lady of the Lan family in Jincheng, and she and Hong Shuhao were childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they had a deep affection.
"More than a year ago, I heard that something had happened in Mosaic Dragon City, and that Brother Shuhao had made a mistake and was exiled to southern Xinjiang and fell into the hands of the Desolate people, I thought he wouldn't come back... Thank you so much. ”
Lanjing bowed her head again and again, expressing her gratitude.
"It's okay, it's a gesture. Chen Feng shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.
Strictly speaking, he and Jeremy Hong are not benefactors, and they have been together for nearly a year, so they should be half friends, right?
If it weren't for Hong Shuhao, I'm afraid Chen Feng wouldn't know where he was or what he was going to do.
Despite the darkness, the city is bustling, and many restaurants are open. One of the restaurants was particularly moving, full of people, many people opened their throats to shout, and the smell of medicine was faintly wafting in the air.
Chen Feng's nose was so spiritual, he could smell it at once, it was the breath of precious medicinal materials, and it was at least more than two hundred years old.
"What are you doing over there?" Chen Feng said curiously.
"What do you say?" Lan Jing glanced over there, "It seems to be an auction, some people will dig up some strange things in the wild, including magic weapons, fragments, medicinal herbs, etc., they will put them at the auction for auction, and those in need will bid for bidding." ”
"Oh. Chen Feng nodded, and asked again, "Then what is the common currency here?"
"You have been enslaved by the Desolate Clan for too long, and your head is not clear, right?" the girl looked at him with an idiotic look, "Of course the universal currency is silver taels! ”
Chen Feng nodded.
He touched his pocket, and it was cleaner than anything else. Originally, I wanted to bid for some precious medicinal materials to use for alchemy, but I had no choice but to give up.
At this time, Lanjing suddenly asked, "You ask this, what do you value?"
"I want to order precious medicinal herbs. Chen Feng replied.
"Brought the alchemy?" Lanjing asked again.
"Yes. ”
Chen Feng was still a little puzzled, how could this girl see his thoughts at a glance. I immediately remembered that since this is a different world, I don't develop science, and I believe in the metaphysics of Feng Shui.
I saw the girl holding her chin and thinking about it, stomping her feet and saying:
"Okay, you saved the life of Brother Shuhao, I will repay you, I will take you to the auction, you can pick a few things you like. ”
After speaking, the girl and her subordinates explained: "You send Brother Shuhao back first, and I will come later." ”
When the guards left, the girl pulled Chen Feng and led him into the restaurant, squeezed into the crowd, and came to the auction hall at the front. It is said to be an auction venue, but in fact it is also a teahouse, and most people stand and watch, and the real bidders are sitting in their respective seats, waiting for the opportunity.
When a piece of ginseng was taken out, someone began to ask for it, and the girl whispered:
"If you want it, I'll get it for you if you want. ”
"Let's wait and see. Chen Feng shook his head.
How can I say that this is also a small cultivation realm, there should be many rare treasures, and he can't look down on the hundred-year-old ginseng.
In the end, this hundred-year-old ginseng was sold for ten taels of silver.
Chen Feng paid attention silently and roughly understood that although this world is based on silver dollars, silver dollars seem to be very precious. Even if they look like they are all dressed in fine clothes and jewelry, it seems extremely heartbreaking to take out ten taels of silver, and they have to think about it for a long time.
As the exhibits were sold one by one, what was finally put on the table was a bunch of potted plants, blue and white porcelain pots, with straight green leaves, which looked nothing special at first glance, and at the top of the plant, there was a bouquet of white flowers, with a strange shape, with eight petals overlapping.
"Octagonal Ice Grass. ”
Chen Feng's eyes froze, and he called out his name softly.
At the same time, there were several people around, and when they opened their eyes at the same time, a flash of essence flashed. The breath of these people was very deep, and they had closed their eyes and recuperated before, and did not participate in the bidding at all, but at this time they came to their senses at the same time.
"One or two. ”
"Five taels. ”
"Seven taels. ”
"Ten taels. ”
"Twenty taels..."
When the price of twenty taels of silver dollars was shouted, the audience was silent, and everyone looked at each other, either bowed their heads and drank tea, thinking twice.
In short, no one is willing to increase the price anymore.
"You have a crush on this?" asked Lanjing as she turned her head to look at her.
"Hmm. ”
Chen Feng nodded. This octagonal Xuanbing Grass is a second-grade spiritual grass in the cultivation realm, which can be used to refine the second-grade spiritual pill, and it is very helpful to gain cultivation. Even in the cultivation realm, the price of the octagonal Xuanbing Grass is not cheap.
The girl in front of him doesn't look like she's particularly rich, can she really help him grab food?
Chen Feng was thinking.
I saw that Lanjing suddenly slapped the table and said in a clear voice:
"One hundred taels of silver dollars!"
In an instant, there was silence, and everyone turned their heads to look over.
