Volume 1 Ethereal Heaven Chapter 17 The Land of Sin
The most beautiful April day in the world, this is not false at all.
Walking on the edge of the long river going south, a long dragon is winding forward, the breeze blows, and the tempting fragrance of flowers comes to the nose, making people feel refreshed and happy.
At the forefront of this long dragon was a group of young men in brocade clothes, followed by 3,000 bright golden armor and a slightly chaotic crowd of 40,000.
This group of people is Zhang Han and his entourage who set off from Panyang City overnight.
"Childe!" At the front of the line, a young girl trotted over and shouted, "Grandpa said that this place will be half a day's way forward before you can enter the triangle." ”
When the boy heard this, he slowly turned his head, and with a smile on his face, he coiled up the strands of the girl's scattered hair and said, "Well, tell everyone to hold on a little longer, as long as we enter this triangle, we will really be safe." ”
"Hee-hee! I'll go. The girl ran away again as if she were happy.
Turning around, Zhang Han cast his gaze on the distant horizon, where Ying Ying could already see some rolling hills.
It has been about 20 days since the departure of the team.
Along the way, everyone trekked through mountains and rivers, relying on Wu Qing and others to reconnoiter with their eyesight and hearing far beyond ordinary people, and the team narrowly avoided the soldiers of the dynasty wandering around several times, and quietly reached everyone's destination.
"Sigh!" came the neighing of the warhorse.
Zhang Han looked slightly sideways at the crowd behind him, and just happened to see Wu Qing coming with five or six Blue Star orphans.
"What's the matter, but you found the Imperial Pursuers again?" Zhang Han asked.
"Your Highness!" Wu Qing and the others first saluted respectfully before saying: "Your Highness, rest assured, there have been no pursuers since entering this southern Xinjiang. ”
"Hmm" Zhang Han nodded lightly and said, "That's right, you're about to enter the triangle in front, so you can take the brothers to explore first." ”
"Subordinates obey orders!" Wu Qingyan said, and took a few people on the horse and left.
Taking another step, Zhang Han walked out of the mountain range with firm steps.
Along the way, the people gave up the 7,000 war horses they had seized from the Yiren and the Great Zhou for the women and children in the city to ride.
Thanks to the fact that these people have taken Bigu Dan, as long as there is enough water, they can save the trouble of food and grass materials along the way.
........
The mountain ahead was getting more and more severe, and as the morning wore on, the road began to narrow and the trees on both sides became taller.
However, Zhang Han and the others were not as happy as they were when they arrived at their destination at this time.
Standing on a small hillside, Zhang Han looked at the depression in front of him and fell into deep thought, with a solemn expression on his face.
Beside him, Wang Kui, Li Lao and others also looked ugly.
In the depression in front of him, a thick stench greeted him, and the stumps were placed on the ground, and Zhang Han and the others were startled when they first saw it.
This is completely a purgatory scene, and at a cursory glance, there are more than 10,000 people in these stumps.
"I've always heard that the land of sin is a place of lawlessness, but I didn't expect to see such a horrific scene just after entering this place. Li Lao covered his mouth and nose and said.
"Judging by the extent of the decomposition of these corpses, I am afraid that the fighting here has only happened in the last few days. Wang Kui also frowned and said, "I don't know who did it, and the methods are so cruel." ”
Zhang Han listened to the conversation between the two, and then looked at the corpse mountain in front of him and said: "Tell the brothers to cheer up, I'm afraid the next road will not be easy." ”
The two nodded faintly.
As the team continued to move forward, the place had completely entered the triangle, and the road was lined with primeval dense forests, and the light dimmed at once, and the forest was even more secluded.
Dada......
There was a hurried sound of horses' hooves, and Zhang Han raised his right arm to signal everyone to stop.
After half a ring, Wu Qing led a few people to quickly walk from the dense forest in front: "Your Highness, there is a cavalry in front of you that is approaching rapidly, and the number is about five hundred. ”
Far away, Wu Qing shouted loudly.
"Oh?" Zhang Han said with some surprise: "Let the brothers line up and prepare for battle." ”
Whoa.....
With Zhang Han's order, three thousand royal forest guards had already set up a formation in this dense forest.
Wang Kui, Li Lao and others hurriedly came to Zhang Han's side and stood up.
Waiting for half a sound, a slight vibration began to be heard on the ground, and a cavalry team dressed in pitch-black armor came into view of Zhang Han and others.
"Wow!"
The war horse neighed, and one of the leaders of the pitch-black cavalry reined in the horse's head and stopped the team at a distance of 100 meters away from Zhang Han and the others.
"Who's coming?" The cavalry general at the head had red feathers on his head, and a momentum of non-existent momentum quickly spread in the middle of the shout.
This person turned out to be a strong man in the foundation building period.
"Martial Arts Grandmaster!" Li Lao exclaimed as he felt the other party's momentum.
None of them could have imagined that the first person they met when they stepped into the land of sin was a strong man in the foundation building period.
Secretly running the exercises in the body, I saw Zhang Han slowly take a few steps forward after being silent for a while: "We are the people of Blue Star, and we have fallen here, hoping to find a place to live." ”
"Blue Star people?" said the foundation building powerhouse with a deep doubt on his face: "I don't care who you are, this place is the chassis of my Chen family, if you want to survive here, you must show enough sincerity." ”
"Oh, according to the general, what price do we have to pay?"
"One spirit stone per person!" replied the general.
Zhang Han frowned, he didn't expect that the person in front of him also knew about the existence of the spirit stone.
But after thinking about it, since the other party can become a strong person in the foundation building period, it is not uncommon to know the existence of spirit stones.
Looking back at Wang Kui, Zhang Han's expression was a little strange.
If this person opened his mouth to ask for 40,000 taels of gold, Zhang Han and the others really couldn't take out so much money and goods, but this person opened his mouth to ask for spirit stones.
You must know that the orphans of Lanxing are all some existences that are either rich or expensive, and they have been urinating since they were young, and the treasures in this space ring may not be very many, but this spirit stone can be said to be at least everyone has tens of thousands of stocks, Zhang Hangui is the prince, and the number of spirit stones in his hand is an astronomical number.
Looking at the dark gold space ring he was wearing on his left hand, Zhang Han's expression became even more weird, and now the only problem is that he must have the foundation building period to release spiritual power before he can open the space ring.
The sound of footsteps came, and Zhang Han looked sideways slightly: "Uncle Kui has plenty of spirit stones in his hands?"
Wang Kui nodded calmly: "Just 40,000 spirit stones are just a meal of wine money in the Blue Star Continent." ”
Zhang Han smiled and said, "That's good, give him the spirit stone! ”
"Hmm" Uncle Kui nodded, walked back to the crowd and found a few sacks, took out the spirit stone from the space ring, and walked back after a while.
Knock knock... A few times, but it was Uncle Kui who threw a few sacks out of his hand far away, and fell to the ground and piled up into a small mountain bag.
"Shhh
At this time, the general of the Chen family was taken aback, and from the gap in the sack, he had clearly seen the unique brilliance of the spirit stone.
"Do you really have so many spirit stones?" the Chen family general exclaimed, his eyes blazing.
He first said that one person and one spirit stone were just deliberately making things difficult, you know, there are a lot of people in front of him, if they are all put into the city, it will inevitably cause a lot of chaos.
"Hehe" Zhang Han chuckled: "The spirit stones you want are here, we have a total of 44,000 people, there are 45,000 spirit stones here, and the extra 1,000 should be used to invite the general and the brothers to drink?"
The general of the Chen family was stunned for a moment, and then laughed a few times and said: "I didn't see that you are still a fat sheep! But my Chen Zhan's words count, if you can hand over all the spirit stones, I will let you in, but you have to find another place to live, my Chen family's small temple can't accommodate so many of you." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Han agreed after a little contemplation.
40,000 people, it is true that it is not too much, and it is not too much to say less.
"Please also make it clear to the general!" Zhang Han said again.
Maybe it was because he had obtained a large number of spirit stones for nothing, and the general of the Chen family was also a little happy, so he spoke again: "Five miles ahead of this place is where my Chen family's city is located, no matter where you go, just remember not to camp in a place ten miles within my Chen family, as for the place of survival, this evil place is very vast, find it yourself!"
The general of the Chen family said that, he looked at Zhang Han and the others again and left, and the five hundred iron horses quickly disappeared in the rumbling hooves.
Stepping forward slowly, Wang Kui came to Zhang Han's side and stood up and asked softly, "I didn't expect that the people in this sinful place are quite trustworthy." ”
"Hmm" Zhang Han nodded lightly and said: "Every place will have its own rules of survival, even this evil place is not excluded, Uncle Kui, you still have to be up to the spirit, don't take it lightly." ”
"The last will obey. Wang Kui bowed.
After a long groan, Zhang Han said again: "Set up camp on the spot, and send some people from the Blue Star to look around to find the existence of a treasure land." ”
Zhang Han knew very well that at least 100 of the orphans of Blue Star were well-versed in astronomy and geography, and it was just a piece of cake for them to find the treasure land.
Soon, more than 30 Blue Star orphans had left the large army and scattered in all directions to the west.
Back in the team, Zhang Han sat down cross-legged, and next to him was Xiang'er, who was sitting quietly.
"Your Highness, drink some water," Li Xiang'er said, handing over a water bag with exquisite patterns in her hand.
"Thank you," Zhang Han smiled and nodded.
When he came here, Zhang Han always felt a sense of restlessness in his heart.
It was as if something evil was spying on him in the depths of the forest.
But if you feel it, you can't notice anything.
In fact, this is not to say that Zhang Han's personality is suspicious or anything, if a person like Zhang Han is like him, he will probably be as suspicious as him when he experiences the fragments of his homeland and transforms from a little devil to such a leader.
Of course, Zhang Han didn't think this was a bad thing, if he wasn't careful, he felt sorry for the trust of the Blue Star and the 40,000 people.
Fortunately, now that everyone has left the realm of the Great Zhou, even if there are pursuers coming, they will not venture deep into this evil place.
After coming to this other world, he met such a group of people who believed in him, which actually greatly alleviated the pain of losing his home in Zhang Han's heart.
Now in his heart, in addition to leading the Blue Star group to recuperate and then take revenge, there is one more person who has to take care of these people who trust him so much at this time.
"We must not let them down," Zhang Han muttered.
