Chapter 03: Yunquan
Bring the two slave catchers' shotguns.
For the two corpses, Mo Siping has no intention of disposing of them.
Maybe the 'blood' will come and eat them away, or it will continue to rot like this.
Eventually, dry bones are exposed, and the flesh is dissolved in the dirt.
"Do any of you know where the gathering place is around here?"
Mo Siping looked at them, and looked around them as the car drove them into a remote wilderness.
The place that was supposed to be fertile land was so barren that the grass did not grow.
The bitter cold winter has frozen the land hard like a rock.
If you don't follow the road, it's more time-saving to take this shortcut.
Although Mo Siping lived here for a while when he was young, he waited for him to be reborn and returned.
But I have to think back to the events of seventy years ago with the memories of my eighty-year-old soul, and those are vague.
But Mo Siping knew that there must be a large gathering place around here, and it was relatively safe.
"Yunquan Town, I know the distance to Yunquan Town." It was the girl who had been holding Mo Siping in the carriage at first.
Yunquan Town is a relatively large and relatively safe gathering place around here.
Moreover, the leader of Yunquan Town is also a step-spirit, and has his own armed defense force.
Even the slave catchers don't dare to be presumptuous around Yunquan Town, but the slave catchers will choose to sell the captured people to Yunquan Town.
It was a place where the trading ground of the legitimate dark market was located.
Even if there is no shortage of medicines that Mospine wants, as long as there is money or something worth trading, he can buy it.
"Well, since you know how to drive...... By the way, what's your name? ”
Mo Siping looked at the girl who knew how to drive the truck, but didn't know her name.
"My name is 'Zhang Rumeng', and I'm eighteen years old this year." The girl shouted in a slightly playful voice.
Mo Siping looked at the girl who had been holding him in the carriage at the beginning and knew the path to Yunquan Town.
"Nangong Rainbow, I'...... He is 20 years old. Because Zhang Rumeng suddenly said that she was 18 years old, Nangong Rainbow followed her and said her age.
It seems to be a little unspeakable, and it's not an embarrassing thing to be two years older than others.
Mo Siping didn't understand that the other party still had this kind of heart at this time, or that the girl cared about this part no matter what time it was.
"My name is 'Mo Siping' and I'm ten years old......" he looked at the girls in front of him, even though their inner souls were already in their eighties.
But if these girls who look eighteen or nineteen years old call them younger brothers, or call them by their first names, it will make Mo Siping feel very embarrassed.
"You'll call me the boss from now on."
And these girls don't seem to care much about the title, since Mo Siping wants them to be called that.
In fact, Mo Siping can also drive this kind of big truck, which is a skill he had learned in his previous life, but now he is only ten years old.
Even if the legs are straight, they can't even step on the clutch and the accelerator.
Hold the steering wheel, and your arms will be wide forked, let alone drive this car.
The slave catcher caught a total of thirteen girls, leaving Nangong Rainbow and Zhang Rumeng to sit in the cab, and the remaining eleven people were still placed in the carriage.
Mo Siping was carried to the co-pilot position by Nangong Rainbow.
The seats of trucks like this are very fast, and the slender Nangong Rainbow and Mo Siping can sit in one position, which is not crowded.
"Sit tight!"
Zhang Rumeng was in the driver's seat, her hand was manipulating the gear lever, and after hanging the gear.
Holding the steering wheel with both hands, the truck began to vibrate violently under the condition that Zhang Rumeng stepped on the accelerator.
The engine was more like the roar of a bloody beast.
Then Zhang Rumeng let go of the brakes that he had been stepping on, and the truck quickly accelerated and drove forward.
"You have to go to the highway first, if you are going to Yunquan Town, you have to go to the highway first...... I've lived in Yunquan Town for a while.
Then we moved out of there with the others, and we were walking south along the road......"
Nangong Caihong thought for a while, and then pointed in the direction of the north, "Yunquan Town is in the north position, as long as you keep driving north, you will also see the road,
You can't go wrong in the direction. ”
The speed of the truck soared rapidly, and Zhang Rumeng had excitement on his face.
Maybe with your hands on the steering wheel, your feet on the accelerator, listening to the sound of the engine shaking,
It will make this girl who has experienced five years of hardship think of the memories of trying to drive this kind of truck in her father's unit before.
Mo Siping's eyes looked into the cab, where a small picture frame was placed in the co-pilot's seat.
Nangong Caihong noticed Mo Siping's eyes, so she gave him the picture frame.
The cab was littered with dirty dust, and even the seats were broken, but this picture frame was clean.
You can clearly see the sweet smile of a family of three in the photo.
Mo Siping noticed that the man on it was the slave catcher driver he had killed at the beginning, and there was a young woman beside him.
It should be his wife, and the two of them are holding a girl's little hand, and the other party's age should be four or five years old.
The environment behind it is a small community, and compared to before there was no aura recovery, this man should be very moist and beautiful.
But it's a pity that the aura is revived, and the blood of the ancients is revealed, in this kind of world without humanity.
If his wife and daughter were still alive, they would never be a slave hunter.
The photo represents memories and the warmth of the past, and Mo Siping threw the frame out of the cab window,
It's better to leave this beauty to the land where the other party is buried and buried.
"There's a dagger here!" Nangong Caihong found a thick steel sharp dagger from the co-pilot's seat.
This dagger is a bit like a 'field knife' for the troops.
Mo Siping held it in his hand, and the weight was not low.
And he has a kind of 'totemic weapon' that makes it.
In the records of Chinese civilization in ancient times, totems are the carriers that carry the soul of gods.
In ancient times, people were superstitious about a certain kind of nature or gods with strange images of animals, etc., and used them as the emblem or symbol of the clan.
Steplings can craft totemic weapons with their own soul idol 'divinity'.
At certain moments, totemic weapons can also exert great power, even if the relays that shape the totemic weapons are strong enough.
The divinity contained in totemic weapons can even deter some blood species.
Mo Siping asked Nangong Caihong and Zhang Rumeng to drive carefully so as not to disturb him, while Mo Siping held the dagger,
He began to use his soul idol to infuse the dagger with divinity.
'Divinity' can be seen as a mysterious power generated by the soul god statue, including Mo Siping's hands that can release the high-temperature phoenix true fire,
All of them directly invoke the divinity of the idol.
In the Chinese interpretation of China, it can be regarded as a kind of truth of the mind and spirit.
And after the appearance of the spirit, the word divinity became a special power in their possession.
And the divinity can't be absorbed unscrupulously, and when it is consumed, it has to be slowly restored to the idol.
Once the spirit infuses the divinity into the artifact, it can transform the artifact into a totem, and if it is an offensive divinity injected into it,
It will be made into a powerful totemic weapon.
Totemic weapons retain some of the idol power of the Step-Spirits that made them.
But because the recovery process of divinity is slow, totem weapons are rarely rebuilt even if they are step-spirits, even in the future.
Totem weapons have not been circulated to the market too many times either.
And once the artifact is injected with divinity, but the artifact cannot withstand the power of divinity, it will directly cause the artifact to be damaged.
As a result, the process of creating a totem will also fail, so if you want to create a totem weapon, you need a relatively hard and special artifact.
And this field dagger looks like the material is good, so Mo Siping had the idea of creating a totem weapon.
In his previous life, he would often make some totems and inject a small amount of divinity into them to train the invocation of divinity in his body.
The process of injecting divinity into artifacts has always been well controlled by Mo Siping.
And this time, Mo Siping also began to invoke the divinity of the god in his body to inject into the field knife in his hand, Nangong Rainbow saw the dagger in Mo Siping's hand,
The whole thing began to turn red, accompanied by blazing heat, and the process lasted about a minute.
It was a slow end, and on the body of that field knife, a small reddish-gold winged phoenix rune also appeared.
This means that a totem weapon is finished.
With countless experiences in his previous life, Mo Siping naturally would not miss, but at this moment, his idol has just been condensed.
It won't be too much of a waste of divinity to create too many totems.
As the afternoon approached evening, Mo Siping and the others drove the car to Yunquan Town.
This once beautiful northern town is now surrounded by walls outside.
A walled building, but the people living inside and outside are very different, and the town has become a small city.
But to Mo Siping's surprise, at the entrance, he saw heavily armed soldiers on duty.
The other party was obviously still wearing the clothes and weapons of the army five years ago, while Nangong Caihong on the side explained:
"In the past, there was a divisional unit stationed in the jurisdiction of the city, but after the outbreak of war, most of the people were transferred to various places by the government.
The small part that remained was recruited by the leaders of Yunquan Town in the later stages of the ancient bloodshed. ”
Nangong Caihong paused and continued, "Because it was already anarchy at that time, even if it was the arsenal in the garrison,
They didn't have time to be taken away by the officers and soldiers who were urgently transferred, so in the later period, people grabbed the arsenal in order to survive.
And the leader of Yunquan Town is a very powerful step-spirit, and he is also a big beneficiary of the robbery of the arsenal. ”
But Mo Siping still observed the soldiers on duty, even after five years, the other party still maintained the military atmosphere.
It looks like it should be a real soldier, but he was recruited by the leader of Yunquan Town.
After all, in a state of anarchy, if you want to survive, you have to follow the strong or become a strong yourself.
Zhang Rumeng drove the truck to the entrance of Yunquan Town, and at the same time, it was naturally stopped by the soldiers on duty.
"Can this car get in? Are they going to impound the car? Mo Siping asked Nangong Rainbow beside him.
"No, at most, it's a search, and this car was originally a car belonging to the slave catcher team, so I think it must have been in and out of Yunquan Town often."
Nangong Caihong explained that Yunquan Town is relatively stable, but slave hunters often choose to sell captured slaves here.
However, the leader of Yunquan Town seems to have turned a blind eye to this phenomenon, and has not stopped this behavior.
The state cannot, naturally, everything is reasonable in the eyes of others.
"It's not your car!" The soldier on duty opened the car door and looked at the two women and a boy on it, and said coldly.
The others also found eleven girls in the back compartment, and it was obvious that they were slave girls captured by the slave hunters.
But the three people in front of him were not slave hunters.
This car had also appeared in Yunquan Town before, so the soldiers on duty could be 100% sure.
"What does it matter, it's ours now, anyway." Mo Siping, calmly preached.
At the same time, a golden flame of high temperature appeared on his hand.
Looking at the handsome boy with red eyes in front of him, the soldier's eyes were full of surprise and disbelief.
"You...... Stepling! He took a few steps back, then told the others to get out of the way and let the truck into the interior of Cloudsprings.
Even though the truck had already driven away, the soldier just now still looked shocked and undecided.
He had seen someone who had become a step-spirit, but it was the first time he had seen such a young step-spirit.
Although I have also heard that in other provinces and regions, there are also young children who can awaken the souls of the ancients at a very young age and be recognized as step-spirits.
But now I'm amazed to see it with my own eyes.
"The identity of the step-spirit is really useful." Nangong Rainbow rubbed Mo Siping's face affectionately, cherishing it as if she had met a baby.
And Mo Siping could only helplessly push her away and enter the interior of Yunquan Town, where she had to find a way to get some medicines and get some things.
Mo Siping's stomach rumbled with hunger all day today, and he hadn't eaten anything serious for several days before he was caught by the slaves today.
Now I'm really hungry and a little dizzy, in fact, it's not just Mo Siping including the thirteen girls in the car,
It's been a while since I've had a serious full meal.
In fact, food in this era is not very scarce, but the problem is that the way to obtain it is very difficult.
Even if it is blood, if it can be killed, it can be regarded as food, after all, the so-called blood is the animal creature in the period of revival of the aura.
Activates the bloodline that remains in the body, allowing for unrivaled abilities and evolution.
On the contrary, in addition to the various legends and stories of how to become a successor spirit left over from ancient times, the human side did not take advantage of the bloodline.
Therefore, the revival of Reiki can see the evolution of various animals and plants, but human beings have no effect at all.
But some of the ancient blood creatures are really strong, and it is almost a fool's dream for ordinary people to hunt them, so the food does have it.
But it's not easy to get.
Including the large area where people used to grow food, almost all of them have now become the territory of powerful blood species, and to get involved in it is to seek death.
In the past, cats and dogs still had the consciousness of guarding their territory, not to mention the bloody blood.
"I've been in Yunquan Town before, so I know that there are some places that specialize in trading, similar to markets, if you need medicine and food,
You can find it there, but you need something to exchange it. Nangong Caihong said.
At this time, Zhang Rumeng suddenly stopped the car, and shouted with trembling lips, "Front...... Front...... Someone is in the way! It's the slave hunters! ”
Mo Siping and Nangong Caihong saw that they were surrounded by a large group of fierce and vicious people the year before last, because the bulkiness of the truck just surrounded them in the center.
The leading man among the slave catchers looked at Mo Siping who got out of the car, and said menacingly:
"That's my car! You guys should be cargo! They killed my men. ”
The corners of Mo Siping's eyes twitched:
"You're the boss of this group of slave hunters?"
However, he was echoed by the sound of gunfire, and it seemed that the slave hunters, who were filled with anger, were already planning to beat Mo Siping and them into a sieve.
Originally, they were planning to trade and sell the stolen slaves, but there was one less truck that was supposed to arrive at the trading place.
Originally, the loss of a dozen slaves was insignificant, but the loss of a truck made the slave hunters quite heartbroken and resentful.
Originally, he came to Yunquan Town to re-pick up a list of slaves' needs, and then replenish some food and utensils by the way.
But I happened to run into the lost truck, and it was driven by the looted slaves in front of me.
The slave hunters directly planned to kill the two girls and one boy in front of them, but they were blocked by a huge red and red phoenix wing.
The phoenix wings slowly unfolded, revealing the few people inside who were safe and sound.
Mo Siping's red golden pupils looked at them coldly.
"The thing I hate most in my life is the slave hunter!"
