The official road leading from Beijun to Zhibei County is an important trade road, so it is very neatly trimmed and paved with pieces of bluestone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are two obvious tracks above the bluestone, and although the shape of Situ Xing's machine car is huge and terrifying, the wheels can be perfectly integrated with the tracks.

This is also the moral politics of the pre-Qin era, and the car is on the same track!

To put it simply, all carriages in the world use axles of the same length, so as to achieve the same track.

Situ Xing actually felt a rare trace of the power of rules on the tracks.

Obviously, this decree was also written by the Legalists.

The wheels crush the rails, making a dull sound, but the speed is surprisingly fast. The machine car quickly overtook Fan Gou'er and the others and appeared at the front of the team.

Fan Gou'er, Cao Wuxian, and others, who served as guards, were also worried.

It's still very close to the North County, and there are traces of human life everywhere, and there is no danger.

The real danger is after entering the 100,000 Great Mountain.

The 100,000 Mountains is a general term for the endless mountains in Beijun. It is also synonymous with danger, because there are not only ferocious beasts and demon beasts in the 100,000 mountains, but also isolated witches.

There are also fugitives who can't survive, or who have broken the law, and have set up camp here and established their own gray forces. Rob caravans and kill passers-by.

The government has also organized large groups of people to encircle and suppress these people on several occasions.

However, the terrain of the 100,000 mountains is very complex and special, and the villagery of the rogues is built on a high place, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Several encirclements and suppressions ended without a hitch.

This also made the rogues more and more arrogant, and even the government's vehicles dared to attack.

It is for this reason that the wealthy and nobles will travel between the Northern County and the Outlands by airship, rather than through the trade routes.

Even if they had to go through the trade route, they would hire a large number of samurai to accompany them with a large amount of money. Therefore, most of the people who are really killed are small businessmen without roots, or poor pedestrians.

It is precisely for this reason that the government is too lazy to encircle and suppress again.

If the North County is a civilized world.

Then this is a wilderness without order.

There is no state, no law, no order, only chaos, killing, and greed.

Even if it is a large caravan, when passing through the 100,000 mountains, it will hire a large number of soldiers and rangers to protect it.

Or the leaders of the witch clan inside, the elders of the tribe make an agreement to receive their protection in the form of offerings every year.

Situ Xing is an official of Daqian, representing the majesty of Daqian, so it is naturally impossible to seek refuge from the leaders of the Wu clan and the elders of the tribe.

They can only conquer these mountains through their own strength.

"Your Excellency!"

"After passing the outpost in front, you will enter the range of the 100,000 Great Mountain. ”

"It's ruled by both the homeless and the Wican. ”

"It's a chaotic place, and we could be attacked!"

"I'm afraid it will affect adults... ”

Fan Gou'er rode to Situ's carriage and said with some concern.

"It's okay!"

Situ Xing gently put down the bamboo slip in his hand and said calmly.

"This official is not a helpless person. ”

"If there is an attack by barbarians or rogues, you will disperse!"

Seeing that there was no fear on Situ's face, Fan Gou'er couldn't help but nod lightly with reassurance.

"No!"

。。。。

In the high places of the mountains and forests, several men with dark complexions, bare upper bodies, and barefoot muscles bulging like savages noticed Situ Xing's convoy, and their eyes couldn't help but show a hint of joy.

They kept making a beeping sound from their mouths, and they even knocked down a big tree.

As the big tree fell to the ground, it seemed to trigger some kind of connection, and it was as if the dominoes were opened, and a few hundred meters away from the same big tree fell to the ground.

In just a few minutes, a melodious bell rang in a stockade dozens of miles away.

Whether it is a farmer who is ploughing, or a peasant woman who is weaving, or a child who is playing, his body is strangely standing upright.

There was excitement on everyone's face. There is an indescribable bloodlust in the eyes.

"There are fat sheep!"

"There's a caravan!"

"Rich!"

"Robbery!"

"The man is killed!"

"Stay!"

In the middle of the stockade, ragged and beggar-like rogues gathered in the middle of the stockade, their eyes turned red, and they brandished their weapons, like peasants celebrating a good harvest, and kept shouting loudly.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The gates of the wall, formed by sharpened wooden sticks with dark red blood on them, were slowly opened, and rogues armed with bronze knives and rakes surged out of the village.

They either hid in the shade of trees, or lay down under boulders, or buried themselves in the dead branches and leaves, and one by one they took advantage of the terrain to hide themselves and unfold their formations, this kind of thing is obviously not the first time they have done it, and their movements are surprisingly skillful.

One by one, they made eye contact, and an indescribable pride rose in their hearts.

It's like a spider with a net bag and waiting for insects to crash in.

Rumble!

Rumble!

As it entered the sphere of influence of the 100,000 Great Mountains, the speed of the machine car slowed down significantly.

Fan Gou'er and the others, who were wearing light armor and holding weapons, also looked obviously solemn, no longer as relaxed as they were just now.

A few horses run at the front of the line as scouts, but they will give an early warning of any disturbance, giving the army enough time to prepare.

Situ stood on top of the carriage and looked ahead.

He was very satisfied with the arrangement of Fan Gou'er and others, and in his opinion, the wisest decision in Beijun was to subdue Fan Gou'er and these more than ten rangers.

Don't look at these people from bad backgrounds, but they do things in a very disciplined way.

Situ Xing saw the potential of commanding the army in several of them, and as long as he exercised a little, he would definitely be able to lead ten thousand armies.

Situ Xing nodded with satisfaction, and his gaze fell on the mountain directly in front of him.

The mountain was surprisingly tall, and its summit was so sharp that it looked like a sword and a demon's tooth when viewed below.

The black peaks make people feel an indescribable sense of depression in their hearts.

Oh!

Oh!

The cries of some beast reverberated through the valley, making everyone more and more nervous.

In particular, the rangers who guarded the carriage looked around intently, fearing that there would be wild beasts or monsters sneaking up on the machine car.

It's no wonder that they are so nervous, in fact, because the 100,000 mountains are too special.

He lies between Beijun and Zhibei County, like a natural barrier, but also a natural buffer zone, not only isolating Beijun and Zhibei County, but also blocking the traffic between the two places.

It also separates the Great Dry from the outer regions.

It is precisely because of the existence of 100,000 mountains, and because of the existence of barbarians.

The two behemoths of the Great Cadre and the Outer Regions did not break out into war.

It is precisely because they understand the importance of the 100,000 mountains and barbarians that the Qiandi Pan and the lord of the outer lands have no intention of crusading with heavy troops, but let them develop.

Sometimes envoys were sent to the barbarians to communicate.

With the increase of communication, the understanding of barbarians in human society has also deepened a lot.

Barbarians are just a general term, but there are actually two ethnic groups.

That is the composition of the ancient relics, the demon clan and the witch clan.

The demon clan is a demon beast that has cultivated and changed into a human form, and its appearance is not much different from the human race, but he will retain some of the characteristics of the demon beast.

For example, the dragon family's horn, the fox's ears, the monkey's tail, the pig's nose, etc.

The higher the bloodline level, the higher the degree of resemblance to humans, and it is said that the king of the demon race, the demon king and the human race are not at all different.

Now the demon king in the 100,000 mountains is a fox clan!

This fox clan is said to have cultivated for 10,000 years, has six tails, and is at the same level as the power of the heavenly immortals.

The Wu clan is also an ancient remnant.

However, unlike the demon race, their appearance is no different from the human race.

Or they were originally a branch of the human race, but during the Great War in the Ancients, their leader was beheaded by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and they were also expelled to the 100,000 Mountains with a harsh living environment.

After thousands of years of adaptation and struggle, they have established their own civilization in the 100,000 mountains.

Witch civilization!

They believe in the worship of nature and regard monsters as protectors.

Worship and make offerings, and make contracts with powerful beings in the heavens to gain unexpected abilities.

Although the number of the Wu clan is small, they are all strong warriors, and because of this. They weren't killed or swallowed up by beasts or demons.

The King of the Witch Clan is an exceptionally powerful warrior who has signed a contract with the Ancient Ancestral God, and has not only obtained the inheritance of the ancients, but also has inexhaustible power.

It is said that as long as his feet are on the earth, he will never run out.

Witches, demons, monsters!

These three tribal groups are like the three legs of the copper tripod, restricting each other and supporting each other, standing in the wilderness.

If it is said, the pursuit of civilization is the great cadre!

Then, what the wilderness pursues is power!

It is the most primitive and effective law of nature that is practiced.

Survival of the fittest!

The strong live, the weak die!

This kind of competition has been started since they were born.

Weak babies will be abandoned by them, and only the strongest children will be carefully nurtured by them.

Because of this, barbarians, both men and women, are extremely powerful warriors.

In the event of a war, all the people are soldiers.

Even if they are as powerful as a great cadre and as vast as an outer region, they don't dare to start a war with them easily.

In the eyes of many people, the 100,000 Mountains are a place full of opportunities, and the elixirs, ores, and unique weapons in them are all endless wealth.

They traded with the barbarians, selling salt and tea to the barbarian nobles.

Sell the unique furs, elixirs, and ores of the wilderness to Daqian or the outer lands to create unprecedented wealth.

But for many people, the 100,000 mountains are a symbol of danger.

Because there are too many dry bones on the side of the road in the 100,000 mountains, countless people have died here.

Beast!

Monsters!

Wicans!

Roving bandits!

There is also the strange and changeable weather, the miasma plague, whatever it is, it is enough to kill.

It's a place of danger and opportunity.
