The north of Longkou Town is the Canglong Mountain Range, which is a thousand miles of mountains that will be guarded by Longkou Town, which is called Longtou Mountain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe mountain range at the north end of Longtou Mountain is called Beiling, where it rains and fogs all year round, and the climate is pleasant.

Diametrically opposed to the North Ridge, the southern foot of Longtou Mountain is called Nanshan by the townspeople, and the mountain forest here is very different from the Longtou Mountain in the north and the more far-reaching Canglong Mountain Range.

This section of the mountain is full of howling winds all year round, lack of rain and water, and the environment is harsh. There is little vegetation in the mountains, and there are strange rocks everywhere, and low shrubs are struggling to survive in shady places.

The grade of the spirit beasts in the mountains is even lower than the sixth grade, all of them are weird and different, whether they are herbivorous spirit beasts or carnivorous spirit beasts, they are all poisonous, and their actions are like electricity, which makes people unguardable.

Therefore, whether it was the hunters in Longkou Town or the hunters on the continent, no one wanted to set foot in this area easily, even the spirit beasts in the Canglong Mountain Range did not want to come to this place.

Along the north and south ends of Longtou Mountain all the way to the west, where the two mountains meet, there is a dark canyon that stretches for hundreds of miles and is thousands of zhang deep, which is called "Sword Trace Valley".

This huge canyon exudes a terrifying and cold aura all year round, and even birds fly over the distance several miles wide, which is very terrifying, and it is precisely because of this that these poisonous Nanshan spirit beasts are blocked in the Nanshan Mountain, and they have never fled to the Canglong Mountain Range in the north.

However, in order to get a chance to survive, once in more than ten years, the spirit beasts in the South Mountain will suddenly assemble on a large scale, rush out directly from the mountain, cross the Qianli Plain of Longkou Town, and migrate all the way to the north.

It's just that somehow, in the past hundred years, the "beast tide" in Nanshan has not appeared, and this strange phenomenon makes the warriors in the town even more afraid to set foot in this mountain forest easily, for fear of bringing disaster to the town.

In the years when the "beast tide" was frequent, the exchanges between Longkou Town and the outside world mainly relied on cargo ships at sea, and the merchants bypassed this Nanshan by boat and arrived at Zhenhai City, the easternmost part of the Tianlong Kingdom. Then take Zhenhai City as the foundation to carry out trade with the mainland.

Nearly a hundred years of peace have made the merchants of Longkou Town bold, and everyone has hired powerful warriors to find land passages along the southern foot of Longtou Mountain, and finally made a discovery. This land passage is the "Valley of the Evil Winds".

The Valley of the Evil Wind is located under the easternmost peak of Nanshan, a strange mountain that runs north-south and towers up to thousands of feet, just separating Nanshan from the endless sea.

The moist sea breeze blows, but it is also blocked by it, so this huge narrow mountain peak is close to the sea, the clouds and mist are misty, and the climate is humid; On the back of the sea, it is snow-capped all year round, and it is precisely because of the scenery of this half of the year-round snow that people call this unique mountain that stretches for thousands of miles "half snow screen".

At the bottom of the peak of the "Half Snow Screen" is the "Evil Wind Valley", which is a huge canyon about several miles wide, except for some sparse thorns in the canyon, almost no grass grows, in addition, the ground is full of sharp gravel, and both sides of the canyon are very smooth stone walls polished by the wind and sand.

It stands to reason that this wide canyon should be the most ideal land passage, but this seemingly flat canyon has been plagued by several disasters that have plagued Tianlong Kingdom and Longkou Town for many years, and few people have dared to pass through it for thousands of years.

These disasters include three types of "avalanches, evil winds, and scorpions". Avalanche refers to the damage caused by avalanches that often occur on the eastern mountain peaks due to year-round snowfall.

Once an avalanche occurs, all the miles of this canyon will be covered by snow and water mixed with boulders, and even a Xuanling Realm martial artist will not escape his life.

Fortunately, this avalanche can be predicted according to the season, weather and other factors, as long as it avoids the spring period when everything grows and recovers, it will not be tight.

In this valley, the most terrifying thing is the second disaster, which is the "evil wind". For as long as records began, a strange wind has been blowing in this valley all year round, and this wind always comes and goes suddenly, and no one has ever found the source of the strange wind.

When the wind rises, the sand flies away and the rocks cover the sky, and the hundreds of thousands of catties of boulders that fall from the mountain peaks will also be blown into fist-sized pieces, and it will be difficult for any creature in the valley to dodge.

In addition, every year in the winter month, the power of this strange wind will suddenly increase several times, and under the action of the huge force, this strange wind is no longer willing to be in the valley, but from the valley from north to south, rolling out.

For thousands of years, the huge wind blew the southernmost mountain pass of the valley into a huge trumpet shape, and a huge crater with no grass and gravel was blown out in a radius of dozens of miles around. The people of the Celestial Dragon Kingdom call this pit the "Evil Wind Pit".

In addition to these natural disasters, the third disaster in the "Valley of the Evil Winds" is the "insect infestation". This "insect infestation" refers to a huge poisonous insect called "Yin Scorpion" by the martial artists of the mainland, although most of these poisonous insects are three-grade strength, but it really makes the warriors who explore in the canyon suffer a lot.

These black "Yin Scorpions" have always been in groups, often thousands, they are all wearing hard shells, non-fourth-grade spirit soldiers, can not hurt them at all, plus these Yin Scorpions are extremely poisonous, as long as its huge claws and tail pins touch, it will immediately be eroded, and there is no hope of survival within an hour.

In addition, their mouthparts can also spit venom, and thousands of scorpions can spit venom together, which can instantly envelop all the miles of the canyon in a poisonous mist, and ordinary caravans are powerless to resist these poisonous insects.

Fortunately, these scorpions only haunt the night, so as long as they can quickly pass through the canyon before night falls, it doesn't hurt. Even for martial artists below the contemplation realm, if they cooperate with a marble cart or marble boat, there should be no suspense in passing through this canyon.

In the course of decades of exploration, although many Tongqi Realm martial artists died in Nanshan, under the leadership of several Xuanling Realm martial artists, they really found a way to pass through the "Evil Wind Valley".

It turned out that within a period of time close to the disappearance of the beast tide, the strange winds in the "Valley of the Evil Winds" also became regular. At normal times, this strange wind only appears at noon, for one hour.

Only in the month of autumn and winter will this strange wind return to its former style, still unknown time, and powerful. As long as you calculate the time, find a good place to hide, and wait for the strange wind to disappear, you can continue on your way.

It was with this discovery that those pathfinders dug out huge shelters in the mountain walls within a distance of 100 miles, which were deeply hidden in the mountain rocks, and hired several refining masters in Longkou Town to build pure gold gates weighing more than 10,000 catties for these shelters.

These huge metal portals, capable of striking the impact of millions of catties of force, are clinging to the side of the rock wall, and even on the most violent days of the strange wind, these portals cannot be damaged in the slightest.

With these shelters, entering the "Valley of the Evil Winds" is no longer a problem, and after decades of development and improvement, this "Valley of the Evil Winds" is no longer a sinister place, but has become the most important trade route connecting Longkou Town and the Celestial Dragon Kingdom.

Because the number of land transportation is not limited, but the distance is reduced by dozens of times compared with the sea channel, and the speed is increased by a hundred times.

As a result, in recent years, major chambers of commerce have focused their main business on land trade, and maritime trade is gradually shrinking. This is also an important reason for the differentiation of the five major families of the Sea Clan.

The vast majority of merchant ships were controlled by the Hai family, while the Song, Wu, and Wang families could only rely on the land caravans established by their families to compete with them.

The two families of Hai Wan'er and Mu Kong are both traditional maritime factions, although they have also established land caravans, but the scale and business are far smaller than the other four, on the contrary, the four families of Hai, Song, Wu and Wang have attached importance to the development and development of land commerce in recent years, and the gap between Hai Wan'er's family is narrowing day by day.
