The North, a distant and strange land, the destination of a great journey.

Traveling alone far away sounds a little sad and helpless, it seems that there is only a single body, staggering, climbing over mountains and rivers, step by step, full of sadness...... In fact, quite the opposite.

Xu Ning didn't have the time to feel sorry for himself, his anxious heart was like a fire burning, and after leaving Qingfeng City, his body turned into a cloud crane and moved quickly among the mountains and mountains! Generally speaking, it takes at least three days to reach the place of residence of the northern barbarians from the location of the Dongzhou Empire.

The place inhabited by the northern barbarians is the empty and wild Pamir Plateau, and in the ancient written records of the Soul Continent, "Pamir" means "the land hanging on the stars." The further north you go, the higher the terrain becomes, and before you know it, the slope of the ground rises sharply, but it is imperceptible because of the vast grasslands, lakes and forests.

In such a harsh environment, the strength of ordinary martial cultivators would be greatly reduced, the speed of action would be slowed down by the thin aura, and the operation of the Gang Qi would naturally be greatly restricted. This is why the Dongzhou Empire has been at war with the barbarians for so many years, but it has never been able to completely eliminate the barbarians. Compared with the barbarians' rudimentary weapons and intermittent supply, the soldiers of the Eastern Zhou Empire can be said to be armed to the teeth, but when they are really fighting, they cannot defeat those barbarians who are mainly physical.

The masters of martial arts cultivation who have entered the realm of great generals are only quite in the realm of Ding Pawn here! Just imagine such a weak combat effectiveness, it would be good not to be wiped out. Therefore, most of the propaganda and victories of those imperial armies were actually fabricated, and some partial victories were mostly in the territory of the Dongzhou Empire, and the battles carried out by driving the barbarians did not enter the Pamir Plateau at all.

Before Xu Ning set off, he had a preliminary understanding of the Pamir Plateau, and he was looking through the information in the otherworldly space while hurrying, which was very energy-consuming. If the biochemistry is still there, you don't have to bother so much. But now in the otherworldly space, there is nothing but the Golden Qilin Soul Beast and the four eggs. The rest is the sword soul coiling dragon, these are all attack-type, let them play with their brains, if necessary, their lives are still uncomfortable.

No way. Xu Ning had no choice but to work his own. Fortunately, I walked against the wind. The speed hasn't slowed down much either.

The Pamirs are huge, and the barbarians are scattered throughout the land when they are not fighting, and it is not easy to find them. The only place, known as a permanent staging place, is the black rock face known as the "Soul of the Pamirs".

That was the purpose of Xu Ning's trip this time.

The black rock wall of the "soul of the Pamirs" is a miracle standing on the flat land of the plateau, the hard meteorite rock walls, like plants, grow out of the ground, straight and straight, as if the character of the barbarians, rough, bold, reckless, before the start of each war, all the barbarians scattered on the Pamirs will gather around here.

Speaking of which, the population of the entire barbarian race together does not seem to have more than the population of a large city, a million? Million? The population of the imperial capital of the Dongzhou Empire was around 20 million. Thinking about it from another angle, in such a harsh environment, it is not easy to give birth to life, and the life that can survive is the strongest.

The further north you go, the sparser the population becomes, the trees get taller and taller, and you can even see clumps of snow hidden in the valleys and peaks. The temperature here seems to be still winter, and it is already a warm spring in most parts of the Eastern Empire.

"Whew!"

Xu Ning let out a sigh of relief, feeling a little stuffy in his chest, walking here for a while, similar to running violently for a while in the Eastern Zhou Empire, although it did not make Xu Ning feel overworked, but it was also very uncomfortable. In the air here, the amount of aura is very small, the cells of the body are gone, and the operation of the martial veins is also a little sluggish.

"It looks like we're getting close to the Pamirs." Xu Ning said to himself.

In front of it was a long and narrow strip of land, more like a ditch. There are many hardy plants growing on the ground, very short, with thick downy leaves and petals, which seem to be formed as if they are afraid of cold, but in fact they are used to absorb geothermal heat. Occasionally, mole-like critters would escape from the ground, but some of them soon disappeared.

Seeing such a peculiar landform for the first time naturally made Xu Ning very interested, and he continued to walk forward until he came to an empty land where there was no land.

There are very few references around, and people feel very small standing here, and there are a lot of broken copper and iron scattered on the ground, and there are many broken knives and broken swords. There were no corpses in sight, and some were probably eaten by creatures such as highland wolves and vultures.

Is this the battlefield?

Xu Ning closed his eyes and let the terrible wind of the plateau mountain whistle by, and there seemed to be an earth-shattering shout and killing sound in it! War is a confrontation between life and life, and it is also the consumption of life and life, and it is impossible to calculate how many bodies have fallen and how much blood has been shed in this land.

One step forward, there is a world, a world that maintains order with blood and muscles.

Taking a step back, it's also a world, a world built with power and rules.

Different worlds, but they are all human beings, many years ago, they all belonged to the same race, why the earliest wars were fought, and what the wars are for now, this qiē has become a distant question, without any reason, the wars are going on year after year, and the human tragedies that directly and indirectly lead to zhì are simply incalculable.

Today, the war between these two tribes should be over.

"Whoosh!" The feet are like the wind, and the thin qi under the ribs is sprayed, urging the "thunder feather" to stretch out, and a black-winged figure is flying on the Pamir plateau!

After entering the Pamir Plateau, Xu Ning felt that his body was rapidly changing, and the pores of his whole body were dilated, greedily absorbing the rare aura between heaven and earth. It's hard to imagine that the scene of thousands of troops and horses is gathered together, and those soldiers of the imperial army can trigger an invisible war with their own need for aura. Xu Ning continued to fly. The small beasts on the ground mistook him for a bird of prey that they had been hunting, and they took refuge.

Soon, after passing through a high and low, Xu Ning saw a small black spot, and he couldn't help but get excited in his heart.

It's coming, it's coming soon!

It is said that running up and dying horses is the illusion of vision being affected by the reference object, and the distance of space is mistaken for very close, but in the absence of a reference object, this sense of distance is even stronger. Seems like an unattainable goal. Many people are in a highland environment for the first time. When I saw the snow-capped mountains in the distance, I thought it was the scenery of the horizon, but it was simply out of reach, and it was in the process of really moving forward. It's impossible to tell how long it will take.

Don't think about anything. Let's hurry!

The body is after getting acquainted with the environment of the plateau. The martial vein source god in the dantian was rejuvenated again, and the subtle aura could support the needs of the cells, plus some early reserves. Xu Ning gradually regained his previous feeling in the use of Thunder Feather's flying object martial arts. However, as he got closer and closer to the "Pamir Soul", Xu Ning gradually became vigilant, saying that now is not the season for the barbarian army to gather, but such an important relic and symbol, there must be watchers around.

"Whew!"

After two consecutive accelerations, a clear black line was drawn in the air, which was particularly vivid between the blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains and grasslands!

Closer, closer!

"Whew!"

A terrible roar like a wild wolf came, Xu Ning was startled, and quickly retracted the huge wings behind him, his body had not yet fallen, and there were already two black dots on the ground approaching quickly.

"Mechanism?!" Xu Ning let out a low shout, and the thunder feather disappeared immediately, and his body fell quickly like a heavy stone!

"Bang bang!" One by one, kicking the flying thing, it was not a sharp weapon, but two ordinary stones. To be able to throw a heavy stone so high, is it to think of yourself as a bird and fly with a slingshot? Xu Ning smiled helplessly, this kind of mechanism really has the style of a barbarian!

"Boom!"

After the two stones were kicked into the air, they were turned into powder by a powerful force and fell like raindrops, and when I looked down, in front of the huge black rock wall, five tall figures slowly stood up on the ground.

They had been hiding in the dirt beneath the rock face, presumably digging a hole in the ground, covered with dead grass.

Xu Ning's sense of touch was a little dull in this environment, so he didn't feel it, but since the other party took the initiative to appear, he had to show his friendliness, these people in front of him would really fight with the opponent regardless of their lives. The so-called dead knock doesn't care how powerful the other party is.

"Heroes of the Vast North, please don't think of me as a jackal!"

Xu Ning shouted loudly in the accent and language of the Pamirs, and had already fallen from mid-air, dozens of feet away from the black rock wall. Even so, he was shocked to see the other party's appearance!

These people can be called real warriors! The majestic body, the resolute face, the cold eyes, the body covered with animal skins and kudzu, and the crude and simple weapons in the hands, full of determination to defend the homeland.

The familiar language and tone really made the five people in front of them a little stunned.

Even if ordinary people understand the language and tone of the barbarians, the way of speaking is not something that can be learned by short-term imitation.

Don't look at the northern barbarians are very backward, but their language did start from the elven tribe for sake, which is a beautiful natural poetic language, and many simple words in the Dongzhou Empire are displayed in a beautiful way of expression.

"The white bird is still a jackal, the gods will give us guidance and show your claws!"

Xu Ning smiled slightly, the meaning of this sentence is to prove that he did not carry weapons and had no malicious intentions, otherwise, they would not have said a word to show the attack.

At a distance of dozens of zhang, he could barely see clearly, Xu Ning took off his shirt, threw away his luggage, raised his hands naked and walked forward slowly.

Getting closer and closer, with a smile on his face all the time, this is the language that is common to both people and races.

Xu Ning's ease made the barbarians even more nervous, now is not the season for the usual development, but it is their key sowing season, the work at this time determines the harvest of the coming year, if there is a problem of destruction, the entire barbarian will be wiped out.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous!" Xu Ning himself said secretly. (To be continued......)
