Chapter 156: First Arrival in Hemu Town (Three Watches, Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
Huo Xiu naturally didn't know anything about what the Ji family was doing in secret, and he still followed his plan and slowly rushed to Hemu Town, which was located on the front line of the 100,000 Great Mountains.
On this day, he finally saw the appearance of Hemu Town from afar.
At this moment, what appeared in front of Huo Xiu's eyes was an incomparably majestic border town.
This border town is held between two high mountains, and if you want to pass through, you can only force your way through.
Moreover, the city wall of this border town is nearly 100 zhang high and dozens of zhang thick, and the ordinary combat power is simply difficult to overcome.
In comparison, Heimu Town, which is also a border town on the front line of the 100,000 Great Mountains, is not worth mentioning.
However, it is no wonder that Blackwood Town is only a low-grade border town, which can be defended with the strength of a martial arts.
And Hemu Town gathered the forces of four martial arts, including a state capital, and only in this way was it barely able to hold it.
Huo Xiu looked at the border town from afar and muttered to himself, "In the coming year, I will spend the next year." It is necessary to improve the strength and most likely to strangle the demon clan, only in this way can you take the lead in the trial of the Nanshan Sect in a year's time. ”
At this time, the caravan leader who was leading the way in front turned around and walked over.
"Brother Huo, we have reached the boundary of Hemu Town, and in another hour, we will be able to enter the border town. ”
Seeing this, Huo Xiu bowed and said with a smile: "Boss Cui, I have caused you trouble along the way, I hope you will forgive me." ”
Team Leader Cui smiled and waved his hand: "Where is Brother Huo, with your joining, we can get here smoothly." ”
Although Leader Cui's words were a little flattering, they were true.
Huo Xiu, as a martial artist in the Penetrating Realm, although his strength is not top-notch, after all, he was born in a martial arts mansion and is not a wild man, so he is much stronger than a martial artist of the same level.
Along the way, with Huo Xiu's sitting, coupled with a few guards hired by Leader Cui, ordinary beasts and thieves did not dare to covet this team at all.
In addition, Huo Xiu followed the caravan to Hemu Town, and Leader Cui not only did not have to pay the employment salary, but also charged the team fee.
It's just that Team Leader Cui is very good at human feelings, and he refuses to charge Huo Xiu's travel expenses for anything, just to make a good relationship.
Rao is like this, and Leader Cui still saves a lot of money. After all, in this world, martial artists are the most valuable resources, and the hiring costs of ordinary martial artists are already unbearable for ordinary people.
At this moment, Team Leader Cui saw that Huo Xiu had come to Hemu Town for the first time, so he took the initiative to introduce him to the situation here.
Although Hemu Town is called a border town, it is actually not small in scale, slightly larger than Zhenyuan Town.
In addition to the guards guarding the border towns, there are also many ordinary people living here.
After all, as a C-level pass, in addition to combatants, it also needs a considerable number of logistics personnel, such as craftsmen, strong men, and ordinary soldiers.
With a large number of personnel, trade is naturally very developed. In addition, it is backed by 100,000 mountains, and you can get a lot of minerals, herbs and other resources from it.
Therefore, many caravans came from thousands of miles to trade, exchanging grain, wine, daily necessities and other products for the special resources here.
Leader Cui's team was one of them, which also allowed Huo Xiu to take this hitchhike and easily rush to Hemu Town.
At this moment, Huo Xiu silently listened to Leader Cui's narration, and then asked: "Boss Cui, there are more than 100 border towns on the front line of the 100,000 Great Mountains, why are there different levels. ”
Team Leader Cui smiled and said, "Little brother, do you know, it is said that thousands of years ago, when the ancestors of our human race were pioneering this area, they fought a big battle with the demon race, and finally drove them into the 100,000 mountains. Then he gathered the strength of the entire Tiannan region, and several human race powers above the three-day realm joined forces to set up an invisible barrier along the periphery of the 100,000 Great Mountain, making it impossible for ordinary demon clans to break through at all. Of course, barriers can't be perfect, and there will always be some loopholes. According to the size and limit of the loopholes, our human race has set up a four-level pass of A, B, C, D, and Hemu Town is a C-level pass. ”
When Huo Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but be a little speechless. The power of the human race above the three-day realm is already a legendary existence.
Team Leader Cui paused, and then said: "This barrier has existed for thousands of years, so it is naturally a little loose, and even a small part of it will be destroyed by the demon clan. Therefore, our human race will send heavy troops to guard these border towns, and even set up new border towns according to the situation, and make every effort to curb the invasion of the demon race. ”
Huo Xiu saw that Team Leader Cui was very familiar with this, so he continued to ask, "Boss Cui, how is the situation of the town guards in Hemu Town, do you know?"
Team Leader Cui scratched his head, and after a long while, he said: "These are all secrets, and I am naturally not very clear as an ordinary person. However, I roughly understand that the guards in the entire Kawaki Town are divided into the headquarters, the guard hall, the preparation hall, the battle hall, and the exploration hall. The headquarters is responsible for overall coordination, and the heads of the four military prefectures are jointly managed. The guard hall is responsible for defense, the preparation hall is responsible for combat readiness logistics, the battle hall is mainly engaged in combat, and the exploration hall is specialized in patrolling, which is each led by the deputy masters of the four martial arts. Among them, the battle hall and the exploration hall are the most dangerous. Brother Huo, you have to be careful when you get to Hemu Town, don't choose these departments. ”
Huo Xiu frowned, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful, what Team Leader Cui said had learned from the pamphlet given by the Zheng Mansion Lord, and there was nothing new.
Huo Xiu wanted to know some inside information, so he asked, "Boss Cui, isn't there any other news?" For example, what is the relationship between the four martial mansions guarding Hemu Town. ”
Huo Xiu knew very well that he offended the people of Cangshan Martial Mansion at the Cangshan Prefecture Demon Eradication Conference, especially with Yan Ruyu, who was born in Cangshan Martial Mansion, so when he learned that Cangshan Martial Mansion was also guarding Hemu Town, he was extremely cautious, lest he be calculated.
Leader Cui probed around, and saw that there was no one around, so he leaned into Huo Xiu's ear and said softly: "Brother Huo, I heard that Cangshan Martial Mansion is a state-level martial mansion, and it doesn't deal with several other county-level martial mansions. So, you have to be careful when you get there, and don't enter the exploration hall mastered by the Cangshan Martial Mansion. Otherwise, you'll be sidelined. ”
When Huo Xiu heard this, he suddenly felt a sudden realization. Naturally, these filthy differences between the various martial arts will not appear in the pamphlet, and can only be understood by asking those who have experienced it firsthand.
He touched his nose, and he had a conclusion in his mind.
"After you get to Hemu Town, find a way to enter the battle hall, so that not only can you have enough time to cultivate, but you can also improve yourself in the battle with the demon clan. The most important thing is that this is the hall headed by the deputy lord of the Zhenyuan Martial Mansion, which can avoid the situation of being secretly hacked. ”
