Chapter 370: It's Time to Get Down to Business
Follow the stone path on the right and keep going.
Along the way, there are shops and residences on both sides of the stone road.
There are all kinds of shops that sell clothes, weapons, and medicinal herbs......
There were also some doorways similar to carriage shops, and there were some demon beasts that were similar to horses outside, which were actually horses in Fang Ping's eyes.
However, the qi and blood are not strong, and I am afraid that it has not yet reached the first-grade realm.
These demon beasts are actually not demon beasts.
These carriages are also suitable for the city, the royal city is in the willow demon, the willow demon does not suppress the breath in the city, but it suppresses the breath outside the city.
Therefore, the carriage can be used inside the city, once you get to the outside of the city, feel the power of these horses, and soon there will be demon beasts attacking.
Fang Ping continued to move forward, and the further he went, the more people there were.
After walking thousands of meters, the buildings in front of me suddenly emptied, and a large empty square appeared!
There are no buildings, but there are a lot of people.
Fang Ping saw that some people with goods in front of him found an open space, threw the goods to the ground casually, and did not shout, and soon a buyer came forward to check.
"Bazaar?"
Fang Ping roughly judged the usefulness of this large square, and couldn't help but pat Lao Li behind him.
It's time for the wet market!
It's not an ordinary vegetable market, and almost all of the buyers and sellers here are warriors.
The goods for sale, varied.
There are demon beast corpses, demon beast hearts, and some things that look similar to tree branches, which are actually the roots and leaves of demon plants, and also have strong energy fluctuations.
Fang Ping also saw some more familiar medicinal herbs, all of which were the kind with abundant energy.
I didn't see the energy stone.
In the cave, the energy stone is the main cultivation resource of the cave warriors, and few people will sell it to the outside world, and even if they are sold, it is a barter.
Raw ore of rare metals is also not uncommon here.
Fang Ping even recognized what some metals were, and the ratio of raw materials for alloy materials, Fang Ping also knew.
Some of them are even metals that are necessary for A-grade alloys.
Just as Fang Ping was looking around, a middle-aged man who looked like a buyer walked over and asked, "What are you selling?"
Fang Ping saw him staring at the animal skin package behind him, remained silent, and ignored him.
Sell Lao Li, Lao Li will be stewed, right?
Seeing that Fang Ping didn't answer, the other party frowned slightly, and he didn't entangle, this is the place where the martial artists in the surrounding towns trade, and there is no shortage of Fang Ping, just seeing that he was wearing the Sanpin Medal, he felt that there was something good, so he asked.
Fang Ping didn't stand all the time, he checked some goods at random along the way, and there were some things that he actually wanted to grab.
The martial artists here are not strong, even if they are not weak in the third grade, there are very few in the middle grade.
However, there are still good things, rare metals, and the main materials of various pills can be found everywhere.
As for the trading method...... Fang Ping saw someone trading with energy stone crystals.
Energy stone crystals may be waste, but when they become coins in circulation, they will naturally be given corresponding value, as long as Wang Cheng approves it, then this thing is valuable.
However, this is not always the case, and there are people who trade in energy stones that have not yet been consumed, but generally for those slightly more valuable items.
Energy Stones, that is, life stones in the cave population, are not only their main resource for cultivation, but also the main currency for daily transactions.
Fang Ping walked all the way, his ears were constantly fluttering, and he listened attentively to the exchanges of some martial artists.
As he spent more time dealing with the cave people, he often listened to their conversations, and after a long time, he could guess the meaning of some words. Unlike other caves, where there is only life and death when a warrior encounters a warrior, there are very few opportunities for a warrior to talk to a human being.
The newly opened cave is still in the royal city, and these warriors hardly care too much about the affairs of human warriors.
"I heard that Wang Cheng is going to recruit troops!"
"Recruits, are you going to war with Chalk City?"
"No, it's a strong man from a foreign land! In the morning, the two adults in the inner city were talking, and I happened to hear it, and I heard that there are strong people in the foreign land coming, and the war will start soon. ”
"There are tens of thousands of troops in the royal city, and there are giant willow divine guards, so you need to be afraid of people from foreign lands?"
"You don't know, don't tell others, I heard that yesterday the Giant Willow Divine Guard suffered heavy losses. Three thousand giant willow guards, thousands of people died yesterday!"
"How is it possible? The lowest level of the Divine Guards is level four, right? There are also a lot of ...... generals."
"Really, yesterday I surrounded and suppressed the strong people in the foreign land, I heard that the strong people who came from the foreign land were all strong generals and above, and the Shenwei rushed to the front, and the generals who went, except for a few on the periphery, all the others were killed!"
"Outlanders are so powerful?"
"I heard that it is very powerful, and the kind that is not dead, more than a dozen generals, killed dozens of generals of the Divine Guard, and even some of the recruited family and sect generals are about to die......"
"Can we beat them, then?"
“......”
There is more to talk about than this, there are many people who know about the conscription in Wangcheng at this moment.
Yesterday's loss was so big, the people in the surrounding towns may not know, but the people in Wangcheng don't know.
The generals suffered countless casualties, the commanders all fell 4 people, and even the Venerable had fallen.
Such a big event, even King Liu can't hide it.
These strong people also have relatives and families.
Three thousand giant willow divine guards, this is also the core power of the giant willow city, that is, three thousand middle-grade powerhouses.
Unlike Tianmen City, Tianmen City has been at war with humans for many years, and its army has expanded to hundreds of thousands.
On the side of Juliu City, it had not entered the war before, except for the core legions like the Juliu Divine Guard, the ordinary army was less than 50,000 people.
Yesterday, Old Man Li, although there were few people, there were many strong people who were killed.
In the end, when Old Man Li slashed the eighth rank, the sword was full of light, and almost all the middle-grade martial artists on the periphery were killed, and even those commanders couldn't react.
Fang Ping listened to it in his ears, and gradually made a judgment in his heart.
"3,000 medium-grade martial artists, 50,000 third-grade troops, no, now there may only be 2,000 medium-grade soldiers.
Even if there is a middle-grade general among the 50,000 lower-grade people, there will probably be less than 3,000 middle-grade powerhouses in Juliu City now.
Liupin's killed a lot in the battle yesterday, and now there are 50 people left in the army to die.
The commander is Qipin, and he actually killed 4 of them yesterday, Governor Zhang, these people are cruel enough. ”
Hearing that the commander-level powerhouse had fallen 4 people yesterday, Fang Ping was still a little surprised.
Yesterday, he rushed into the sky and glanced at it, and it seemed that there were still 7 people left on the other side, that is, after he left, the other party killed two more people.
You must know that Zhou Zhengyang was dead at that time, and Zhang Dingnan and Principal Nanwu were seriously injured.
I'm afraid that Juliu City has not yet gotten used to the method of human beings fighting to the death, even if they die, they have to drag a few away, which is the habit of human beings to fight with the cave for so many years.
Before this, even if Juliu City had fought with Chalk City for many years, in Fang Ping's opinion, it was a small fight.
I heard that the two sides have been fighting for a hundred years, and the commander doesn't seem to have died, which is also called an endless war?
However, now there are more than 5 remaining seven products in Juliu City, and there are still a few people who did not fight yesterday, but stayed in Juliu City.
Fang Ping didn't know how many there were, but there were only about 10 at most.
In the Eight Rank Realm, there are really only two left.
"There is one person in the ninth grade, two people in the eighth grade, about 10 people in the seventh grade, and 100 people in and outside the city of the sixth grade.
The number of middle-grade warriors in the whole city, combined, may exceed 5,000 people. ”
This kind of strength is actually much weaker than Tianmen City before there was no loss.
Before the two Eight Rank of Tianmen City died, the high-end combat power was similar to that of Juliu City, but the army of Tianmen City was 200,000!
Among them, there are at least nearly 10,000 people!
"If there are no reinforcements in Juliu City, it is not difficult to build a stronghold. You don't need to come to the ninth grade, a few more eight grades, and it's no problem to build a base. ”
"However, Giant Pine City seems to have already come to its aid. If there is no Jiupin to help, it will be difficult to build a stronghold. ”
As for the giant tree in the city, Fang Ping didn't care too much.
Looking at the size of the body, you can know that it is not too easy to move, and this giant willow has not left the city, I am afraid it is not very suitable for attacking, and the defense is quite good.
"There seems to be a big tree in Tianmen City, is it also a tree demon? It should be, but it hasn't come out all these years, and it seems that it is indeed not easy to move. ”
Thinking of these in his heart, Fang Ping sighed a little emotionally, saying that the strength of Juliu City did not seem to be strong.
But don't forget, it's just a cave and a city!
Nanjiang Caves, how many royal cities?
Fang Ping didn't know yet, but according to past experience, a cave has as few as ten cities, as many as twenty, and on the other side of the Kyoto cave, there are 20 cities.
Of course, that was before, and now there are two fewer castles on the Kyoto Cave, and although the Great War of that year failed to destroy the Kyoto Cave, it also wiped out the two cities.
"Kyoto Caves, Destroyed Two Cities......"
Fang Ping suddenly realized something, a royal city, an energy mine!
The government, I'm afraid there are a lot of energy mine reserves!
Although there were heavy losses back then, how could you not gain anything after destroying two cities?
Over the years, so many grandmasters have appeared, which may not have nothing to do with this battle.
"Demon martial arts have a long way to go, not to mention a cave, even a city is difficult to contend with. There are more than a dozen high-grade powerhouses, and the magic martial arts are still far behind.
There are only about 20 people in the six-grade and demonic martial arts, and the gap is not small.
Four or five grades, there are less than 400 demon martial arts, and Juliu City is at least ten times that of demon martial arts!"
Fang Ping shook his head, one school town and one cave, it is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do.
Now that the Demon Martial Arts have gathered the strength of the whole school, even against Tianmen City, which has suffered heavy losses, the chances of victory are not great, and the probability of the entire army being wiped out is even greater.
Tianmen City also has a nine-rank, an eight-rank, and several seventh-grade powerhouses.
"Liu Lao doesn't know if he is still alive, if he dies in battle, then the strength of the demon martial arts will decline again. ”
People are selfish, and there is a distinction between near and far.
The Grandmaster powerhouse who entered this time, the others fell, Fang Ping might not be so uncomfortable, but if Liu Poyu died, it would be really uncomfortable.
Just like the other six-rank powerhouses who died in battle, although Fang Ping was very sad at the time, when he really saved people, he only risked saving Li Changsheng.
Thinking for a while, Fang Ping continued to wander around, while also listening distractedly to the discussions of these cave warriors.
There are also people who talk about the opening of the fountain of life.
However, many of the warriors here are from the surrounding towns or other royal cities.
They are not qualified to be near the Fountain of Life, which is at the heart of the inner city.
However, when the Fountain of Life opens, a large amount of energy overflows, even in the outer city, the energy concentration will increase a lot, Juliu City does not prohibit martial artists from entering the outer city, when the Fountain of Life is open, they can also take the opportunity to cultivate.
However, the effect is average, and it is better than nothing.
"Inner City?"
Fang Ping exhaled lightly, it was not easy to enter.
The inner city, as the listeners meant, is a bit difficult to enter, not everyone can get in.
With some regret, Fang Ping left the square.
There are a lot of things here, and they have all been robbed, Fang Ping feels that it is not difficult to sell them for five or six hundred million.
But if you rob here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of Juliu City.
Continuing to walk along the square, Fang Ping noted the locations of some shops along the way, he didn't remember the ordinary shops, but remembered a few places with extremely rich energy!
There, the equivalent of a human bank!
The human bank stores gold and money.
And here, there are energy stones.
In Wangcheng, there is a service where you can choose to exchange energy stones with low concentrations for energy stones that can be cultivated, and of course, the exchange ratio is very scary.
In the caves, low-concentration energy stones are actually not uncommon, and some small veins are almost all low-concentration energy stones.
Demon beasts don't pay much attention to it, and neither do the cave powerhouses.
And these are the energy stones that most of the cave civilians can obtain.
They can open a mine, they can use this to exchange this for high-concentration cultivation energy stones, and the cave side will take away these low-concentration energy stones, Fang Ping doesn't know if it can be purified, or do something else.
On Wangcheng's side, there were many shops in charge of this kind of exchange, and Fang Ping saw several.
Although he didn't know the cave characters, he could see someone entering with a large pile of low-concentration energy stones, and quickly replaced them with high-concentration ones.
If you think about it, you can guess what these stores do.
"But it's not easy to grab, almost all of them are in charge. ”
Fang Ping sighed, but there are also one or two that don't have a six-rank in charge, but a fifth-grade martial artist, so they can make a dozen ideas.
Juliu City was very large, and Fang Ping had been walking for almost an hour, but he had not reached the boundary between the inner and outer cities.
And the giant tree, the further it went, the more it was discovered, and it had underestimated its height before.
Not to mention 100 meters!
It's not that Fang Ping hasn't seen high-rise buildings in the magic capital, there are five or six hundred meters high, although because there are many high-rise buildings in the magic capital, if you don't look closely, it is not very conspicuous.
But the giant tree was so far away, it was still dazzling, Fang Ping guessed, I'm afraid it was really four or five hundred meters high.
"It's so tall, so thick, how much energy does it absorb! Such a tree, brought back to the Demon Martial Arts, I'm afraid it can suck all the energy particles of the Demon Capital empty. But instead of sucking in energy, you spit it out...... Tsk, that demon capital has also become a holy place for cultivation. ”
"And it's hard to say, if the plant cultivates to become refined, it may not always absorb energy, otherwise, wouldn't the giant willow city have already been sucked out? When it reaches a certain realm, if the energy is not lost, and the realm is not improved, it may not be necessary to absorb energy.
Otherwise, there would be no fountain of life left, and it would have been sucked by this dryad a long time ago. ”
Fang Ping stared at the tall giant tree with burning eyes, and for a moment, Fang Ping really had some thoughts of cutting down the other party and bringing it back.
That crystal clear tree trunk, whether it is used as a weapon material or a cultivation material, is probably a good thing.
Is the toughness of A-grade alloy really comparable to the toughness of a tree trunk?
No, maybe the creation of the Divine Soldier is related to these materials, and the Divine Soldier is a good thing.
Those golden blood also contained countless energies, and as the raw materials of the elixir, I am afraid that countless elixirs could also be made.
"If you cut down this tree, the Demon Martial Arts may be able to produce thousands of medium grades, and even a batch of grandmasters will appear!"
However, even if it is cut, it may not be able to be brought back as a whole, it is too big, and the passage may not be able to accommodate it.
"If my storage space was a few thousand cubic meters large, I could really take it back, but I cut it down...... I'm afraid I can't cut it without a magic soldier. ”
Fang Ping muttered in his heart for a while, and began to pay attention to observe, find an inn to live in, you can't wander around like this.
Settle down, and maybe try digging in the ground.
On the ground, he did not dare to act rashly.
But when I got to the ground, the breath was closed...... You can't bring Lao Li with you, otherwise it will be easy to be detected.
As soon as the breath is closed, in the underground, as long as there is no big movement, it is still relatively safe.
After searching for a while, Fang Ping saw a place similar to an inn, stood opposite and listened for a while, and with a number in his heart, Fang Ping walked over.
Soon, at the cost of 10 energy crystals, Fang Ping obtained the right to live in a small courtyard with a fairly beautiful environment.
Two days!
Halfway through, Fang Ping used his spiritual power to show the energy fluctuations of the peak martial artist of the third grade, combined with the spring of life to open immediately, the owner of the inn understood very well, Fang Ping said hoarsely "Don't disturb", the other party nodded hurriedly.
This is a strong man who is ready to attack the fourth level, and he took advantage of the opening of the Fountain of Life to rush through the level.
If it's interrupted because of the inn, there's also trouble, although the people who come to the inn to rush the customs are not people with a big background, but more is better than less.
......
Under the leadership of an ordinary cave human, Fang Ping entered the small courtyard, closed the courtyard door directly, and entered the room.
"Old Li, the intelligence is almost done, it's time to get down to business!"
Fang Ping said it as a matter of course, and the intelligence was probably clear.
The number of people in the seven, eight and nine grades, and the number of people in the middle grades, all have approximate data, and the harvest is not small.
As for the rest, Fang Ping felt that there was no need to investigate, anyway, the top priority was to establish a stronghold and check again when he had time.
Serious things are naturally the things of the fountain of life.
In addition, he also mastered seven or eight of the locations of those energy stone exchange shops, which was enough, and no matter how much he had, it would be useless.
Now here, consuming tens of millions of wealth every day, Fang Ping is also heartbroken.
"Qin Fengqing, they have all grabbed a large piece of energy stone, and I haven't found anything, so I can't get less than them, right? Otherwise, even if I go back, I will be ridiculed." ”
"I'll go down to the ground to investigate first, and then turn around and leave you here, you ask for a lot of blessings, if someone finds out when I'm not there, and you are taken away and roasted, then you can't blame me......"
Fang Ping muttered, looking a little helpless, the energy barrier is only useful for him, taking Lao Li into the ground, I'm afraid it will be easy to be discovered.
The senses of martial artists are very keen, and when it comes to Gaopin, once the spiritual power is swept away, Lao Li will soon be discovered.
This time, Li Changsheng didn't have a seizure, and it was not so safe to go underground to investigate.
In particular, the underground is an energy mine, and the cave will never be unguarded, if it was really that stupid, it would have been hollowed out a long time ago.
