Chapter 13: The Throat Valley
Overnight, Zuo Zhe, who was still dressed in tatters yesterday, changed into a gorgeous dress that seemed to the natives of the other world to be high-end and low-key, and had no friends, and the gifts he took out to give people were made of pure gold! If it weren't for the uncertainty of catching Zuo Zhe, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to fight with the rice grains that had been captured by sugar-coated shells, Dai Shu and the bald twin brothers might really go all out to attack Zuo Zhe.
With the gift that made me feel distressed, uh, it was mainly the lighter made of pure gold in the hand of the stunned Qing, and hired this group of natives from another world, Zuo Zhe finally had the initial team in the other world.
In the surprised gaze of the five people, Zuo Zhe took out the relatively light off-road motorcycle in the system space, and motioned for the only female Mi Li in the team to straddle it. Then, under the numb gaze of the other four, Zuo Zhe twisted the key and ignited the lightweight, high-horsepower, top-of-the-line motocross bike.
Amid the roar of the motorcycle engine, under the leadership of the wind carving, Zuo Zhe took the girl snuggled in his arms and rode towards the human town on the edge of the Wilderness Territory!
"Keep up!" Under Dai Shu's reminder, the other three suddenly woke up and rushed forward. Now that you have received Zuo Zhe's benefits, you must shoulder Zuo Zhe's safety.
"Uncle Dai, what is that?" asked the stunned Qing who was following Dai Shu on the left side of the motorcycle as he ran.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is supposed to be a trap beast. Do you smell the gas coming from behind the trap beast, it's the smell of burning oil and gas? Although the well-informed Dai Shu has no bottom in his heart, he still explains this motorcycle that does not exist in this world in a way that he can understand.
After riding less than five kilometers, Zuo Zhe taught the skills of riding a motorcycle to the rice grains in his arms to make small birds and humans. This is not because Zuo Zhe is lazy, but because the roar of the motorcycle engine has attracted many spirit beasts along the way. Handed over the work of riding a motorcycle to Mi Li, Zuo Zhe held Mi Li's slender but strong waist and opened up his instant learning ability!
Because the wind eagle is pointing the way in the sky, the spirit beasts attracted by motorcycles are only types with ordinary strength. Even if one or two spirit beasts with second-order strength occasionally rushed out, they would be expelled or killed by the four Heaven and Human Realm transcendent-level cultivators on the left and right sides of the motorcycle. Along the way, in Zuo Zhe's continuous observation and study, Zuo Zhe quickly mastered a variety of basic spells for monk combat.
In the five-person team led by Dai Shu, Long Da and Long Er belonged to the kind of meat shield monks with rough skin and thick flesh and full control. The two of them work together, and even enemies who outperform them will be entangled in an endless stream of control and slow-down spells. As for the stunned Qing and Dai Shu, who is the captain, they are output characters with strong melee strength. In the face of weaker enemies, both of them have a strong output ability of instant seconds. In addition, Stunned Qing also has extremely strong physical strength and ability to continue fighting, and Dai Shu is the commander of the five-person team. As for Mi Li, who was excitedly riding a motorcycle in front of Zuo Zhe, he was the only one in the five-person team who was good at long-range combat and beast taming.
I don't know if the road chosen by the wind carving is a shortcut, or because Mi Li rides fast, but by the time it got dark, the group had already arrived at a monastic settlement on the outskirts of the Wilderness Territory that was located in a valley that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
After filling up the motorcycle with gas, Zuo Zhe put the motorcycle into the system space. Changing himself into a spare set of clothes captured from the monks of the Divine Sword Alliance, Zuo Zhe, dressed in black, rushed towards the narrow entrance of the valley under the protection of Dai Shu's five people.
Located on the outskirts of the Wilderness Realm, this Throat Valley was a free market and food supply point for passing monks to buy and sell their goods. As the name suggests, the name of the valley is taken from the meaning of "like a fish in the throat", which means that this is a gathering place for human monks to go deep into the wilderness and get stuck in the throats of spirit beasts.
Although the monks could easily cross even the steepest valley if they wished, the monks obediently entered and exited the valley through a gap in the cliff on the south side of the valley. After Dai Shu paid the grain tax of one silver coin per person, and blocked the five-meter-tall spirit beast at the mouth of the valley, which looked like an elephant, he moved his butt and let go of the blocked valley mouth at the suggestion of the monk.
Walking into the narrow and dark cracks in the valley mouth, which made people feel depressed, the vision in front of Zuo Zhe suddenly became wide and lively. In the center of this valley basin with a diameter of no less than one kilometer, dozens of stone houses are arranged in a formation similar to the Bagua Array, separating the valley basin from two open spaces inside and outside. Among them, in the center of the Bagua Array, there is a clearing in the shape of a yin and yang fish, which is the fortress-like building complex where the valley controller is located. In the open space between the periphery of the Bagua Array and the surrounding hills, there are many monks who set up stalls. Although it was already night, there were still many monks coming and going around the brightly lit stalls lit by torches.
"The periphery is only an area where small traders and hawkers set up their stalls, and large-scale merchants will rent one of the stone houses along the street on the inside of the Bagua Array as a shop. Regardless of whether Zuo Zhe can understand it or not, Dai Shu even explained to Zuo Zhe with analogy, and also explained to the two newcomers who were stunned and Mi Li.
"Then where do we live?" asked Mi Li shyly.
"If it was in the past, we would just need to practice in the open space outside for one night. But now, with this adult here, of course we can't spend the night in the open air. With that, Dai Shu led Zuo Zhe towards the multi-storey stone house that formed the Bagua Array.
The weakest monk in the valley also has at least the strength of the mortal realm soul fusion level. And most of those soul-melting monks are also clerks who do chores in the store. Zuo Zhe's arrival attracted the attention of many monks. It's not just Zuo Zhe's flat face, but also because Zuo Zhe's weak strength is only at the mortal realm energy storage level.
Because of Zuo Zhe's weak strength and abnormal appearance, it aroused the strong interest of the monks along the way. In addition, a group of six people with Zuo Zhe as the core actually walked directly towards those stone houses with high rents, and the monks along the way became more interested in Zuo Zhe.
"Wait a minute, please. Without waiting for the six of them to rush to the gossip array where the stone house was located, three tall and strong young monks with thick faces blocked the way of the six of them.
"Sure enough, it's the protagonist's life, is there a villain who comes up to find a slap in the face so soon?" Zuo Zhe's heart sank, and he was ready to teleport up to launch a critical attack.
"I have a dragon blood fruit here, which can not only quickly increase his strength to the mortal realm fusion energy level, but also greatly improve his physique, as long as you give me a thousand gold coins, this dragon blood fruit will belong to you!"
