Chu Mo went to "convenience" a few more times overnight, until the sky was bright, the old man who had been paying attention to Chu Mo looked at the surrounding terrain, and after a long time, he said the words "the road is there", which relieved everyone who had not slept all night.

Kong Hu woke up Chu Mo, who had been closing his eyes and seemed to be asleep, and followed everyone on the road together, not falling asleep, but secretly cultivating Chu Mo put on a sleepy-eyed appearance, and under the cold eyes of others, he naturally stood up and followed the camel cart.

Before noon, the old man led his group to see a large area of green, among which there was a small lake, not only that, but there were also several teams like Kong Hu here to rest and fetch water, and they saw each other and seemed to know each other, and said hello.

The old man at the beginning of the Xuan Rank walked towards an old man in the other team, and the two lowered their heads and said something, their faces were a little surprised, and then they nodded and separated again.

The old man who returned to the team suddenly shouted Chu Mo, and everyone else looked at the old man in surprise, not knowing what he meant, Chu Mo was simply superfluous along the way, except for Kong Hu, who treated him politely, everyone else treated Chu Mo as air.

Chu Mo, who was called, had just finished getting a bag of water, and when he heard the old man call his name, he glanced at Kong Hu, who nodded to him, and Chu Mo walked towards the old man, thinking in his heart that this old man was looking for something for him.

"Young man, I worked hard for you last night."

The old man's first words were grateful to Chu Mo's words, and then his eyes looked directly at Chu Mo's face, as if he was sure of something, but Chu Mo was unmoved, looking puzzled, but he was a little surprised in his heart, knowing what he was looking for.

Looking at Chu Mo's appearance, the old man chuckled and didn't say anything more, there are some things that need to be understood and don't need to be said, it is better to leave some leeway.

Taking out a heavy money bag from his arms and handing it to Chu Mo, the old man looked at the people in his team not far away, and said softly: "Although the coyote and sand snake aura on your body when you came back a few times last night is very weak, I have lived in the ancient desert for so many years, and I still feel it, this is your reward, you saved my people's lives." ”

Chu Mo's divine sense saw that there were only a hundred gold coins in the money bag, and the rest were silver coins, which were undoubtedly a huge amount of money for Chu Mo, a person who did not have a single copper coin on his body, he no longer concealed anything, took the money bag and put it in his sleeve, looked at the old man's satisfied eyes, and asked, "You should have something else besides this, right?" ”

"Yes, there are some things, these people in the ancient desert actually know each other, the guy who talked to me just now said that he saw a stone pillar on the road, with some strange things carved on it, he buried the stone pillar as a mark, and is going to find some people to take a look, young man, are you interested?"

Without waiting for Chu Mo to answer, the old man whispered again: "I can't see through your strength, but you must be stronger than me, if you go with us, our strength will be the top team, and I can promise to find half of what we find, there are many treasures in the ancient desert, every time we find good things, those sects will intervene, we have to prepare as soon as possible." ”

Chu Mo secretly said in his heart that this old man has a lot of eyes, and others regard him as a useless lazy person who has been mixed in halfway, but this old man not only found that he was not an ordinary person, but also concluded that his cultivation was higher than him, and now he also pulled himself to suppress him, he admired the sharpness of this old man's mind, but he definitely would not want to become a thug.

He didn't have much interest in the treasures in the ancient desert, Chu Mo didn't come to the martial arts for any treasure hunting, and he didn't want to stay in this place where there was nothing but sand, so he didn't hesitate to refuse the old man's request, and when he heard Chu Mo's reply, the old man seemed a little disappointed, but he quickly waved his hand and didn't talk about it anymore.

The two returned to the team, and the old man suddenly said to Kong Hu, who was feeding the camels: "Xuhe City is less than ten miles away from here, you can go on the road alone, there will be no more dangers, and my people and I have other things to solve." ”

Hearing this, Kong Hu suddenly became anxious, he paid so much money just to go to Xuhe City safely, although he also knew that as long as he arrived at this oasis, it would only be a little distance from Xuhe City, but he was really not safe alone, after all, as long as he didn't step into the city, even if he was robbed and killed outside the city gate, it was normal.

Along the way, he didn't see the person he offended who sent him, but who knows if he had arrived in Xuhe City before him and waited for him, as long as he thought that he might be killed before entering the city, Kong Hu didn't care about anything, and immediately had to give his opinion.

Suddenly, he heard a commotion, coming from the team not far from him, it seemed that it was also the employer who was angry and raised opinions, but it was smashed in the face by the old man who had talked to the old man in the early stage of the Xuan Rank before, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Kong Hu swallowed what he was about to say, and he realized that these people were hired by him, but the other party was an ancient martial artist, and he could pinch his own guy to death with one finger, thinking of this, he had to grit his teeth and nod even if he was unwilling to do so.

The old man didn't say anything, nodded slightly at Chu Mo and left with more than a dozen people, he knew that Chu Mo and Kong Hu had a good conversation along the way, and he couldn't be too persecutive, and he believed that Chu Mo would also accompany Kong Hu all the way to Xuhe City, with Chu Mo's secret protection, it would be difficult for Kong Hu, a blacksmith, to die, at least he thought so.

The same four teams quickly disappeared into the desert, and the few people left behind looked at each other, all revealing a sense of vigilance, and they all had the money to hire martial artists, which in some eyes might be a reason for robbery.

One after another, someone took things on the road alone, Chu Mo and Kong Hu were the last to leave the oasis, Kong Hu was silent all the way, and several times he opened his mouth to remind Chu Mo that if he saw some people standing outside the city gate with a golden knife on their clothes, he didn't care about anything and fled, Chu Mo nodded, but he had already made up his mind to help Kong Hu once and help him solve the possible enemies.

Xuhe City, a city covering an area of less than tens of thousands of square kilometers, is the most prosperous city in the ancient desert, like those big cities on the Silk Road with developed trade and profound cultural exchanges.

Chu Mo's divine sense saw from a distance that the city wall was a hundred feet high, and there were dozens of guards standing on it, all of whom were not weaker than the cultivation of the early stage of the Xuan Rank, and the power of this guard alone made ordinary people living in the city feel at ease.

He didn't find any guys wearing golden swords at the city gate, presumably the enemy offended by Kong Hu would not be able to deal with a blacksmith, and he should have forgotten about him a long time ago.

The two rushed to the outside of the moat at the city gate, Kong Hu called to stop the camel cart, opened the wrap on the car, and exposed all the iron tools in the cart, and shouted loudly to the guards standing on the city wall, "I am a blacksmith, I want to enter the city", and soon the moat was slowly lowered, and three figures appeared.

The three of them wore heavy and clumsy armor and walked up to Kong Hu, one of them carefully checked the things in the car, and the other two Chu Mo could see that they were all hands on the handle of the knife at their waists, and they could draw out to see blood anytime and anywhere, which showed that their sense of precaution was extremely heavy.

"Well, you can go into the city, two people pay a total of 100 gold coins, this is the resident card of the two of you, the names of the two of you have been engraved on it, don't lose it, return it immediately when you run out, and return it to one of you 40 gold coins, otherwise the consequences you know."

Hearing that the two of them had to pay the cost of 100 gold coins, Chu Mo suddenly frowned, listening to what Kong Hu said, an ordinary person can only use up a gold coin if he drags his family to live for a year, which is enough to feed his family for 100 years just by going to the city, but in exchange for only the size of a palm, the word "Chu Mo" engraved in conspicuous red on it.

It's just that Kong Hu took out a money bag and handed it to the guard at the head of the leader, who took it and didn't look at it, just nodded with satisfaction after turning it around, and walked into the city gate with the two of them.

As soon as they entered the city gate, the three guards turned around and left, no longer caring about Kong Hu and Chu Mo, Kong Hu led the camel on both sides of the bustling and lively street, with a smile on his face, not at all the loss of so many gold coins, but a look of relief.

"Chu Mo, Xuhe City is the most prosperous city on the road of the ancient desert, basically the residential area is the commercial area, and every household sells things at the door, and it is the dream of every businessman to come in, so no matter how high the cost is, there will be people desperately trying to come in."

As if seeing the dissatisfaction on Chu Mo's face with the cost of entering the city, Kong Hu suddenly patted his waist, and suddenly a sound of gold and silver intertwined sounded, "I have been striking iron all my life, and I can still afford to pay this money, in fact, it is not too harsh, after all, the people who can come here will not care about the 100 gold coins, because the return will be more." ”

Chu Mo was relieved, it was indeed that he was thinking complicated, his divine sense swept around him, Chu Mo saw that there was something for sale in front of almost every house, whether it was an egg or even a weed, there were people shouting and shouting, and the price shouted was also jaw-dropping, but there were always people willing to bid to buy it.

Kong Hu led the camel cart to a large courtyard with a peculiar smell, and after taking off all the things on the cart, he led the camel cart into this yard alone, and when he came out soon, he had an extra money bag in his hand, put it away with satisfaction, and said to Chu Mo: "The camel cart is rented, these are refundable deposits, now help me send these iron lumps to our residence in Xuhe City, those gold coins are not for nothing." ”
