According to Mu Lao, there are hundreds of scattered villages in a radius of more than 2,000 miles in the entire southern Xinjiang, and there are only two that can be called cities, namely Wumeng City and Nanban City.

Wumeng City is located in the northwest of Southern Xinjiang, about 800 miles away from Dilong Valley.

Nanban City is located in the southeast of Southern Xinjiang, about 1,200 miles away from Dilong Valley.

The reason why Wumeng City and Nanban City can be called cities is because these two cities have a large number of warriors.

Every year when the cold winter falls on the evil moon in the sky, only Wumeng City and Nanban City can resist the attack of the violent beasts head-on.

Mu Lao smacked his lips and said meaningfully: "Little Brother Meng, if you have the opportunity to enter Wumeng City or Nanban City in the future, then you don't need to worry about the attack of fierce beasts. ”

Meng Chen asked, "Mu Lao, are Wumeng City and Nanban City really that strong?" ”

Mu Lao sighed: "Very strong! Whether it is Wumeng City or Nanban City, whenever the evil moon is in the sky, it will attract thousands of fierce beasts to attack, but these two cities can stand for hundreds of years without falling! ”

"Defend against the attacks of thousands of beasts? So fierce! Meng Chen smacked his tongue secretly.

Meng Chen continued to ask, "Elder Mu, if you want to enter Wumeng City and Nanban City, you should need to meet very harsh conditions, right?" ”

Mu Lao nodded and replied, "It's actually easy to just go into the city for a walk, but if you want to live in the city permanently, it's a very difficult thing. One of the three conditions must be met in order to be officially accepted by Wumeng City and Nanban City. One is to have outstanding contributions to the city, one is strong in itself, and the last is to have a very high martial arts talent, which is included in the martial arts sect in the city. ”

Then, Mu Lao looked at Dashan lying on his side, and sighed: "Dashan was once a member of the Panshi Gate of Wumeng City, but unfortunately he couldn't rest assured of his family and chose to continue to stay in Shanli Village. ”

"Can't you take your family and enter Wumeng City together?" Meng Chen wondered.

Mu Lao nodded and shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "The Rock Gate only gives two places to the mountain, but there are parents on the mountain, and there are wives and children under the mountain, so how can he choose?" ”

"That's too inhumane, isn't it?" Meng Chen muttered to himself.

After continuing to chat for a while, Meng Chen got up and said, "Thank you Mu Lao for your advice!" It's not early, so I won't disturb your rest! ”

Mu Lao touched his beard and said with a smile: "Little Brother Meng has a great kindness to us, why should I worry about this little thing?" ”

After leaving the residence, Meng Chen returned to the city hall.

"Wumeng City? Nanban City? It seems that the humans of this world are not powerless to resist the fierce beasts! But...... Mu Lao only knows a little about the land of southern Xinjiang, the world is so big, I don't know what the situation is in other places? Meng Chen muttered in his heart.

Early the next morning, when Meng Chen came to the house where Mu Lao and the others were with breakfast, Mu Lao said goodbye to Meng Chen.

"Aren't you going to pick medicinal herbs in Dilong Valley? Why don't you stay a few more days and go back after collecting the herbs? Meng Chen said.

Mu Lao shook his head and refused: "I have been waiting outside all night, my family must be worried, besides, Dashan is injured and needs to go home to recuperate." ”

Meng Chen nodded and said, "In that case, I'll go and ask the leader for some instructions, and send a few soldiers to escort you out of the Earth Dragon Valley!" ”

Mu Lao's face was full of gratitude, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Little Brother Meng!" ”

Meng Chen wanted to keep Mu Lao and the others for a few more days, after all, Mu Lao was old and well-informed, and he could bring a lot of useful information to Meng Chen.

But after thinking about it, Meng Chen still gave up his plan to stay.

Only by putting a long line can you catch big fish, Meng Chen is not short of patience!

Escorted by ten elite swordsmen and accompanied by Meng Chen, Mu Lao and the others walked along the stone road towards the northern mountain pass of Dilong Valley.

As they got closer and closer to the mountain pass, Mu Lao and the others were in a better and better mood, and they were more and more relaxed when talking to Meng Chen.

One of the villagers looked at the armor of the elite soldiers and said enviously, "The armor, shields, and swords of these Otharel soldiers are amazing!" If I could have one, it would be easy to deal with beasts in the future, right? ”

Another villager interjected: "Those archers have powerful longbows, much stronger than the homemade bows and arrows of the village hunters!" ”

Mu Lao looked at the face of the elite swordsman, and hurriedly interrupted the conversation between the two villagers, and reprimanded: "With your little bit of mountain cat kung fu, such a sophisticated weapon is also a waste for you!" ”

Meng Chen's heart moved, and he said to Mu Lao: "These two eldest brothers, if you really want these weapons, it's not impossible!" ”

"Really?" The two villagers asked in surprise.

When Mu Lao heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Meng Chen very attentively.

Meng Chen nodded and said, "The people of Oseril are very respectful of fair trade, as long as there are goods that make them happy, no matter what weapons and equipment they have, they can buy and sell. ”

The two villagers immediately looked at Mu Lao, and after Mu Lao coughed, he asked Meng Chen, "Little Brother Meng, what kind of goods do the Oshar people generally like?" ”

Meng Chen replied casually, "There are many things that the people of Oseril like, such as special ores, wood and stones, or other strange things. And the most valuable is a white ore, which I heard the people of Ocellil searching for everywhere. ”

"Special ores, timber and stone are better to say, white ore? Could it be a tribute stone? Mu Lao said a little strangely.

"Gongshi? What is that? Meng Chen asked hurriedly.

Mu Lao smiled: "Gongshi is a special white ore, but the old man has not seen it with his own eyes. If it's a tribute stone, then it's not surprising! Whether it is Wumeng City or Nanban City, they are collecting this kind of stone. Only 100 tribute stones are needed in exchange for permanent residency in a city. ”

"Damn! Wumeng City and Nanban City, this is to grab business! Meng Chen scolded secretly.

100 tribute stones can be exchanged for permanent residency in Wumeng City or Nanban City.

It is conceivable how the people of southern Xinjiang will cherish the tribute stone!

Meng Chen can only pray now, the tribute stone that Mu Lao said is not an energy ore, otherwise Meng Chen really can't compete with Wumeng City and Nanban City.

It didn't take long for the group to come to the northern mountain pass of the basin.

Meng Chen arched his hand and said, "Mu Lao, I can only send it here!" ”

Mu Lao bowed to Meng Chen and said gratefully, "Thank you for your great kindness, Little Brother Meng!" ”

Meng Chen hurriedly waved his hand and saluted back: "Mu Lao doesn't have to be polite, it's just a gesture." That's right! Your Excellency, the leader of the Village of Hope, let me give you a message. Everything before was a misunderstanding, and I hope you will forgive me! ”

"Your Excellency Chief, you're so polite, it's just a misunderstanding!" Mu Lao and the others nodded in response.

Before leaving, Mu Lao looked at Meng Chen, his face was entangled, and finally beckoned to Meng Chen, motioning for Meng Chen to take a step to speak.

Meng Chen was very puzzled in his heart, and curiously followed Mu Lao to the side.
