Chapter 446: A Strange Eviction Order
Lao He assigned to her, there are many cadres from the Rose Hall and the Thorn Hall, and after a few hours of activities in this human settlement area, she found out a lot of news:
"Atlas Snow Mountain covers an area of 1.7 million hectares, with a vast area, and the number of peaks is expected to be more than 250. ”
"According to mortals, from here to advance to the Great Snow Mountain, you can go deep for a thousand miles in a good time in summer, and in winter there is heavy snow to cover the mountain, at most only about 300 miles, and you must be led by a seasoned herb picker or hunter. If it were the current early spring weather, it would only be a hundred miles at most, and no one would want to be a guide. When the ice melts, it is too dangerous for mortals. ”
"The central area of the Atalia Mountains is extremely steep and steep, and there are snow monsters infested with snow monsters that no mortal has ever been able to touch. Therefore, the map of the hinterland of the snow-capped mountains cannot be found here. Because of the extreme climate, there are no other immortals stationed in the hinterland. ”
Ning Xiao listened silently. The current situation was already expected by Changtian and her, who knew where Nan Mingli's fire sword would be located in the snow mountain? But since it would have been hidden here back then, the sword collector should not want it to be found. In this case, there should be no need to look for the surrounding areas that are accessible to mortals, and focus on the central area of the Great Snow Mountain.
However, it is easier said than done, but it is a hundred times harder to do. The hinterland of Atalia Snow Mountain is too vast, even if she dispatches all the monsters in the God and Demon Prison to carry out a carpet search, she may not be able to turn it over in a short time, not to mention that in an area like the Snow Mountain Plateau, there are always legends of all kinds of goblin monsters?
She needs a map. She needs to be purposeful.
"While you are resting, Lord Changtian has ordered six people to advance into the hinterland of the Great Snow Mountain first, looking for local snow monsters to guide us. Judging by the message sent back. It will take them at least three more days to reach their destination. "The snow-capped mountain area is too big, even if an immortal cultivator flies, it will take a long time.
Due to the importance of the matter, among the hidden monsters who came with him this time, there were three treasure hunting rats. The racial talent of the treasure hunting rat is that he is good at finding a needle in a haystack, searching for gold in the desert, and the big shopkeeper of the Qianjintang desert city. It's this kind of youkai. And the three-headed rat in the hidden stream is a triplet born of a mother, which is a miracle for such a low-yielding demon clan. The hidden stream is like a monster base. Treasure hunting rats, who are talented but have very weak bodies, can only live well if they take refuge here.
Among the group that went to the hinterland of the snowy mountains, there was a treasure hunting mouse, and the other guards would do their best to protect him.
Between words. Someone walked over: "Guests from afar." Are you Miss Ning?"
Sure enough, someone was looking for her. Ning Xiaoxian raised his eyebrows and responded. The person who came was an elderly man in his sixties, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. The day before yesterday, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, so she hurriedly chose an inn that looked the cleanest, and vaguely remembered that this old man was the big shopkeeper.
"Hello, shopkeeper Hulian. She smiled sweetly, for the great shopkeeper, in addition to bringing the meal himself, had also graciously brought over a plate of yacon.
"Miss Ning. You're sleeping so heavily that I'm worried that the fuel in the kang will run out. Trying to get the guy to add some more, but your companion won't let him in. ”
"Very good. I'm not afraid of the cold, and I can sleep in the snow, and my friends know that. The old man stared at her for a long time, and with her current face, she was also looked very uncomfortable. There was a glint in his eyes, and it was clear that he had something to say.
Sure enough, the two exchanged a few words, and the shopkeeper Hulian reached out and poured her a cup of hot milk tea, and suddenly lowered his voice and said urgently: "Miss Ning, if you have a good rest, leave quickly, this is not a place to stay for a long time!"
It was the first time she had seen a businessman drive people out! Her eyes widened in amazement: "Why?"
The shopkeeper of Hulian whispered: "Our Hulian tribe is going to have a disaster coming to the door recently, Miss Ning is not a member of the tribe, she should not be implicated, if she can leave, it is better to do her best." ”
Ning Xiaoxian was surprised: "If the shopkeeper of Hulian knows that something is in trouble, why don't he go out and hide?
"We've all been driven to the westernmost tip of the mainland, where else can we move?" Hulian shopkeeper smiled lowly, the bitterness in his voice was so thick that he couldn't dissolve, "I'm old, and that disaster is only for a young and beautiful girl like you." If you listen to me, leave today. I'll ask the guy to help you prepare some dry food for you to eat on the road. ”
Seeing that the old man was serious, she also put away the idea of joking, waved her hand and said: "Shopkeeper, I have important things to do when I come to Snow Mountain, and I can't leave it for a while." You'd better tell me what's going on. ”
"This ......" Hulian shopkeeper looked embarrassed, and thought for a few breaths before gritting his teeth and said, "Okay, do you know what the specialty of the Hulian tribe is?"
How did she know this?" "This place is backed by snow-capped mountains, could it be furs and some rare herbs?"
Hulian shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "Heh, it would be nice if it was so simple." There's one more specialty, people!"
Can people be regarded as specialty, and the most indispensable thing on the southern Ganbu continent is human beings, right?
"More than 300 years ago......" As soon as these words popped out between the shopkeeper's teeth, footsteps sounded behind him, and then someone slapped him heavily on the shoulder:
"Big shopkeeper, do you have such a business, patronize and chat, and don't receive guests!"
This shot naturally lost his following words. Although the voice behind him was smiling, the shopkeeper Hulian trembled suddenly, quickly stood up and turned around, and said with a flattering face: "Philosopher, didn't I see you come in, please take a seat!" was about to pull the owner of the voice to the upstairs seat, but the person shook his head and said, "It's good to be in this position." ”
Ning Xiaoxian had already seen the appearance of the person who came, and he was actually a young man in his twenties, with red lips and white teeth, although he was tall, his face was weak, and he was also a mortal. At this moment he rejected the shopkeeper's kindness, and found a nearby table to sit down, and happened to sit on her left-hand side.
Ning Xiaoxian only cared about eating his first meal in three days, and didn't look at him, but he heard Changtian's voice in his ears: "The one who came to look for you twice is this person, I recognize his voice." ”
As soon as this man arrived, the shopkeeper stopped talking, what is the reason? She ate a piece of fruit, slapped her face and shouted, "Shopkeeper, come here." ”
Hulian the shopkeeper had already shrunk behind the counter, and when he heard her voice, he had to trot all the way over, with a sad face, as if he was afraid that she would ask for trouble. She smiled slightly, and didn't mention this, but said, "I'm going into the mountain, can you introduce me to a kind and experienced guide?"
She needed more clues, and it would be a good idea to find experienced locals.
"Into the mountain, this kind of day?" Hulian shopkeeper was startled, "Girl, the mountain will be closed in five days at most, and it is too dangerous for you to enter the mountain at this time!"
"But I've come all the way here for the sake of the things in the mountains, and I can't go in if I don't get in. She looked embarrassed.
Without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, the philosopher sitting next to him suddenly said, "If the girl wants to enter the mountain at this time, my family can help." ”
This person didn't even ask her what she was doing in the mountains, and said that he could help, which was really weird. She looked Zhegongzi up and down, and said with a smile: "The snowmelt moment is the most dangerous time of the year, but Zhegongzi can help me?"
"Not bad. Zhegongzi also smiled, his face slightly pale, "In the past day, I saw that your guards were asking around the village about the Great Snow Mountain, and they must have been in a hurry to enter the mountain. My family here has been engaged in the business of leather herbs for generations, and has always dealt with hunters and herb pickers in the mountains. If the girl wants to go into the mountains, I can introduce you to an experienced hunter as a guide. ”
"How experienced is it?" she was interested, "I have to advance into the central area of the Great Snow Mountain, and mortals can't get in." ”
How do you know that the prince's eyebrows suddenly fluttered, and his voice trembled slightly: "You, you are really a monk!" As soon as he said this, the hidden current guards all turned around and looked at him coldly. This person is not knowledgeable, either a mortal or a monk?, so what are these big monsters?
Zhegongzi's face turned pale suddenly, obviously unable to withstand the murderous gaze of so many monsters. Ning Xiaoxian admired him a little, among mortals, he was very bold, not long ago she saw the hidden current guard stunned a human man with his eyes.
It's not that she always thinks badly about people's hearts, but she has nothing to do, and she is either a traitor or a thief. The man immediately changed his address to "you", apparently asking for her. She took a sip of milk tea: "What are the conditions?" The milk tea here is made from yak milk, and the smell is very strong, and she is not used to drinking it. After a while, I still have to go back to the Gods and Demons Prison to make a pot of tea to relieve my greasy.
As a result, Tetsuko's answer immediately aroused everyone's interest, and he whispered, "Do you want a map of the Great Snow Mountain of Ataria? I have a way to get it, but, but please do me a favor!"
Her eyes lit up, and she said very simply: "Say!"
Zhe Gongzi looked around and said, "It's not very convenient here, please go back to the house with me to talk about it, okay?"
She didn't have an opinion, and as soon as she stood up, the hidden current guard behind her also stood up. These monsters are used to being in the mountains, full of indifferent murderous aura, and they know at a glance that they are not easy to get along with, so they almost didn't stick a note on their faces, "Don't get close to the living", no wonder that in this inn, basically no one sits beside them.
When the philosopher saw this scene, he smiled, as if the stronger they looked, the happier he became. She and Tu Duan looked at each other, both a little inexplicable. (To be continued......)
