Chapter Forty-Six: A Ship Comes on the River

Snowy land, the Great Wall, small towns, big rivers, 100,000 mountains.........

The Great Wall separates the town from the snowy region, blessing the people of the town to live and work in peace and contentment from monsters, and the river surrounds the town, separating the 100,000 mountains from the town.

"This is the human realm, and no tribe shall interfere with it. "The words of the first witch are still effective to this day, and the demon beasts never wreak havoc. It's just that people have long forgotten about it.

On the river, a passenger ship breaks the silence. In the middle of the river, the shadow of the lonely sail is not lonely. When fighting against the demons of the netherworld, this great river witnessed the prosperity of the previous boats coming and going, and everyone was united, and hundreds of boats competed for the current on the river.

Three generations after the departure of the first shrine maiden, ships have gradually become less and less frequent, but it was once a large military fortress that looked far north of the snowy region.

But when a thousand years have passed, even the existence of witches is questionable, let alone against the demons of the netherworld? Who would want to stay in this bitter cold place for the rest of their lives?

Almost all of the prime people who come here now are mercenary groups who come to explore and look for opportunities. The battle for resources in the area was too fierce, so they wanted to try their luck in the snowy region, which was a barren land that had not been explored for thousands of years.

Like the 'Dragon War' mercenary group with bamboo poles before, in just a few months, they obtained resources in the snowy region that were difficult to obtain in the south for several years, allowing the mercenary group to upgrade at least one level in a few months.

It is said that their head dragon spear got a mountain snow lotus, which helped him progress to the peak of the fifth level, and half of his feet were already practicing the qi realm. It's a pity that Rao is like this, and if you want to break through again, you don't know if it's the Year of the Monkey.

So, he couldn't wait to go south to grab more territory, after all, that was the root of their foothold. For this reason, the bamboo pole was thrown here. However, if he knew that the bamboo pole had broken through the fourth-level martial artist here, he would probably have to regret his intestines, but it was a pity that there was no if.

Now, a passenger ship is carrying a group of mercenary groups, and it is also carrying a group of mercenary groups to the south. At the beginning, some familiar faces had to be replaced by a batch of unfamiliar faces, but the southward movement was not so fast, so this time is often the most lively and chaotic time here.

Who knows if there is any conflict between the mercenary group brought by the ship and the mercenary group that is still here. Even if there is no conflict, the new and the previous ones will need a certain run-in period. Therefore, often at this time, several bloody conflicts are inevitable, and in the mercenary world, only strength has the right to speak.

"Bamboo pole, are you going south?" Lu Feng'er was lying on the ground in the martial arts arena, and he didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not, at this time, rest was the most important thing for him.

"Not first. Bamboo Pole replied panting.

"Why?" After breathing a sigh of relief, Lu Feng'er sat up.

"With my strength, I can't form a mercenary group if I go south now, and I can't hold my face when I go back to that dragon war mercenary group. Damn, if you abandon Lao Tzu, don't think about Lao Tzu going back. Bamboo pole gritted his teeth.

"Didn't the head of your regiment say that it was good, and called you a nanny to take care of you?" Lu Feng'er didn't understand why the bamboo pole was so excited.

"He's going to show the people below, because when he goes back next, he will inevitably have to go up to this pile of cannon fodder to fight hard, and if he loses the hearts of the people at this time, then he doesn't have to mess around. The first time the bamboo pole mentioned this, there was a certain discrepancy with the version that came out of other people's mouths, "It's just that since he still has the heart to arrange a nanny for me, then when I have the strength, I will return this favor." Lao Tzu doesn't admit his affection!" he said angrily.

Looking at the bamboo pole like this, he was not valued by their leader in the mercenary group, and it was a big blow to his self-esteem. Of course, this self-esteem was based on the premise that he had broken through to a fourth-level martial artist now.

"That's right. Lu Feng'er was also uncomfortable in her heart, is this the reality?

"But this may be fate, I broke through to the fourth-level martial artist here, and I met you again, so I plan to stay here for more than a year now, train hard with you, and it is best to break through to the fifth-level martial artist............ A fifth-level martial artist. As he spoke, a trace of cold sweat broke out on the head of the bamboo pole, "Fifth level martial artist ......"

"You say, I might be able to find some chance in the snowy region to break through to a fifth-level martial artist, right?" asked as the bamboo pole grabbed Lu Feng'er's collar.

"Uh..... This one..... It should be possible, right?" Lu Feng'er had no idea about this, after all, he had gone all the way under Mu Xu's teaching, although it was hard and tiring, but the results were remarkable.

Although he knew that their cultivation path was difficult, he still didn't know what price they would sometimes pay in order to break through.

"Wait until I break through to the fifth level of martial arts," Zhu Pole became much more confident after receiving Lu Feng'er's encouragement, "Let's go south to set up a mercenary group, shall we?"

"Going south, isn't it okay here?" Lu Feng'er was stunned, he didn't plan to leave Mu Xu. If a mercenary group is set up here, after it grows bigger, this can be regarded as a powerful new force, and Mu Xu should not have to carry this burden alone, and he can do anything for her.

"Here, here, we can set up our base camp here. The bamboo pole touched his chin and thought carefully, "There is a big advantage here, that is, resources." If we set up a local mercenary group here, we would almost enjoy the resources of the snowy region and the 100,000 mountains in front of us, these two places have not been developed by many people, and it has only been noticed in the past two years. When you go south and see the competition for resources, you will feel that this is simply a pure land. ”

"Then why are there so few people here?" Lu Feng'er wondered.

"Why? What do you say? The boat that comes here only runs once for several months, and this ghost river goes around a hundred thousand mountains, and it almost takes a month to make a trip on board. Think about it, hundreds of people are crammed into such a big cabin, so comfortable?

"Wouldn't it be better to build a big ship?

"This ...... Actually, it's not that no one has thought about it, but do you think Dajiang is a good place, right? Little brother, come on, brother will teach you!"

"This world, except for the human world such as towns and villages, the rest is the world of demon beasts, and the snowy regions, 100,000 mountains, and rivers you see are actually the world of demon beasts. Ordinary human beings only look for opportunities in the periphery, and rarely go deeper. ”

"And when it comes to the Qi cultivation level, it can go a little deeper, but that is also considered the periphery. Only after Qi Cheng Dan is qualified to enter the Demon Beast World, but it is said that you have to be careful, even if the great immortals of Qi Cheng Dan are not returned, it is common in history that there is no return. ”

"The demon beast you see on the periphery is just a small thing, the real demon beasts are those demon beasts that turn into pills!" said this, and shuddered, "Even if the demon beasts that have just broken through for a long time and those who have not broken through are also heaven and earth!"

"Have you seen it?" Lu Feng'er thought at first that he was really bragging, but looking at his frightened appearance, it shouldn't seem like he was imaginary.

"Yes. The bamboo pole swallowed his saliva, "Didn't there be some people in the tavern who were clamoring to hunt a big female bear before?"

"Uh..... There's a beard and a sword master, right?" Lu Feng'er was a little impressed.

"Yes, yes, they are the members of the 'Hydra Mercenary Regiment'. The bamboo pole nodded.

'Hydra Mercenary Group' Lu Feng'er has a black line, and this name is enough to hang.

"It's just a bluff in name!" "The bamboo pole is quite disdainful, "In terms of strength, it is not as good as dragon war!"

"Uh...... All right. Lu Feng'er twitched the corner of her mouth.

"We have all confirmed that the big female bear is a fifth-level demon beast, and we have agreed to prepare to hunt it in the snowy region. The bamboo pole said slowly.

"But the leader of the Hydra, the 'Python' goblin, they took advantage of the night to hide from us and set off first. It stands to reason that we can take down this level of demon beast at a higher cost, so let's kill more people. The bamboo pole pursed his mouth, and his tone was quite mocking.

Because most of the deaths are second- and third-level martial artists like him, of course, a fourth-level martial artist will be killed if he is not careful, and it is rare for a fifth-level martial artist to have an accident" But we didn't expect that in just a few days, the big female bear actually broke through to the Huadan realm. Then this Hydra mercenary group will be a tragedy!"

"I don't know why they lasted so long, but when we arrived, we met the big she-bear and slapped it down, and, the head of the hydra was left with a headless corpse. ”

"A fifth-level martial artist! his head was smashed directly into plasma, and he couldn't dodge, it was too fast. "The bamboo pole is still palpitating.

"After a few seconds, the rest of the Hydra was also photographed and there were no bones left, and our regiment commander saw that there was no movement, and motioned for us to hide behind the mountain peak and not make a move, until it was gone, and did not dare to breathe a sigh of relief!"
