Chapter 0011: Weak Water
Swish!
Seeing the demon beast with the human head in its mouth, the woman among the three turned pale instantly, covered her mouth and said in horror: "Innate ninth-order monster - ghost leopard!"
Qing Luo and the other man also swallowed their saliva with difficulty, their expressions tense, and their hearts were already uneasy. In front of the innate ninth-order monsters, they are definitely not a place together, even if the three of them join forces, they are definitely more than lucky.
Next, let them see a jaw-dropping scene. The ghost leopard roared at them in a low voice, and instead of pounced as they imagined, he walked up to Duan Qianlang, opened his mouth and let go of the human head, and then, like a docile kitten, rubbed Duan Qianlang's legs and feet a few times.
Duan Qianlang rubbed the forehead of the ghost leopard and said, "Xiao Hei, thank you for your hard work." ”
The leopard seemed to be enjoying it, let out a soft roar, and then sat down obediently to the side.
"This ...... Your summoned beast too?" the woman felt that what was happening in front of her was too much for her to believe. A congenital sixth-order monk would actually have an innate ninth-order summoned beast, and the spread of such a thing would definitely cause an uproar.
"What, do you have doubts?" Duan Qianlang looked at her with a smile, and saw that they were silent, as if they were really frightened by their summoned beast.
After a stalemate for a moment, Qing Luo seemed to have made some decision, he raised his head again, and said to Duan Qianlang: "This fellow Daoist, since you insist on this, I have nothing to say." Just let me Qingluo take his life in exchange for the two of them to leave safely, do you think?"
"Not good!" Duan Qianlang shook his head very dryly, and said, "Besides, do you have the qualifications to tell me about the conditions?"
"Qingluo, what nonsense are you talking about?" The woman pulled Qingluo's sleeve and said, "Our 'Demon Dao' battle group has always been united in one mind. If you can't fight today, let him kill him, it's a big deal that we die together, how can we let you die alone?"
"That's good!" The man dressed as a Taoist priest also walked over, he looked at Qingluo, and said, "I met a strong opponent today, and my skills are not as good as others, and I have nothing to say." If you were to exchange your life for the two of us, I don't think I would be at peace in this life. ”
"You are confused!" Qing Luo's tone became heavier, and he said to the two: "I brought you out, so I must be responsible for your safety." What's more, that matter needs to be reported to the group leader as soon as possible, how can you be rash here?"
The two of them glanced at each other, and although they knew that what Qing Luo was referring to was extremely important, it was difficult for them to leave.
They didn't deliberately avoid Duan Qianlang when they spoke, so Duan Qianlang listened to all their words. Especially the woman's words, which made Duan Qianlang a little impressed.
"It's really affectionate!" Duan Qianlang clapped his hands and praised sincerely. The so-called "seeing the truth in times of trouble", especially in such a world where strength is respected and people eat people, such affection is commendable.
"If you want to kill or chop, listen to it!" The woman looked at Duan Qianlang with cold eyes, and the earlier fear was gone.
Maybe you don't care about life and death, and you can really let go of everything!
The silence fell into the glade again, but the silence was soon broken by a "shudder" sound.
Dozens of summoned beasts gnawed away the corpses, and there were no bones left, and there were really no bones left.
At this moment, they all moved closer to Duan Qianlang, but Duan Qianlang did not include them in the summoning space. The summoned beast does not consume much soul power without fighting, and he can still hold on to it.
There was no reason to take back this group of summoned beasts, Duan Qianlang had his own plan, to create a kind of pressure on the three of Qingluo, so that they would understand that if they were not honest, he would also make them the summoning beasts' snacks.
Faced with such a situation, Qingluo felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, but it was absolutely impossible for them to wait for death. So he nodded to the other man, and the two of them walked up to the woman, standing side by side, waiting for the storm to come.
"I think I can give you a chance to live. Duan Qianlang looked at the three of them with a grin. And when the three of them heard this, they were stunned, as if they had heard the most pleasant sound.
"But ......" Duan Qianlang deliberately lengthened his voice and paused before he said, "I have a few questions to ask, if your answer satisfies me, I may let you go." ”
"Okay, know everything, say everything!" With such a possibility, Qingluo of course has to fight for it.
Duan Qianlang sorted out his thoughts and said, "What kind of place is this?"
"Forest, idiot!" the woman glared, but the word "idiot" was muttered quietly.
Burst!
Duan Qianlang's head was full of black lines, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, he didn't know that this was a forest, obviously this woman was deliberately angry with him.
"Be careful what you say to me, be careful that I draw a map on your face. Duan Qianlang deliberately kept a straight face and threatened viciously.
The woman was so frightened that she stuck out her tongue, although she saw Duan Qianlang angry, she didn't feel the murderous aura. She suddenly had a feeling that Duan Qianlang didn't really want to kill them.
She looked at Duan Qianlang, this feeling became stronger and stronger, and then she glared at him boldly. The man next to Qingluo, watching the woman's movements, couldn't help but sweat.
Looking at the woman's appearance, Duan Qianlang was really angry, but he didn't have a seizure, but looked at Qingluo and said, "I mean, what's the name of this place?"
Qing Luo said: "This is the Sunset Forest, the territory of the 'Weak Mercury' Western Regions, and it is a place for monks below the Innate Realm to improve their strength. ”
"Weak Mercury?Sunset Forest?" Duan Qianlang frowned, this place name sounded so strange to him, no matter how he recalled, he couldn't remember hearing of such a place.
Leaning less, Duan Qianlang said: "What does 'weak Mercury' mean?"
"What an idiot!" These were the words that drifted through the hearts of the three Qingluo, but looking at the blank look in Duan Qianlang's eyes, he really didn't know.
Qingluo said: "The so-called 'weak mercury' is the name of our star. ”
"Could it be that outside this world, there are a lot of stars?" Duan Qianlang said suspiciously.
Qingluo and the three of them looked at each other, feeling that they had really encountered a strange thing. There are countless stars in the galaxy, this is the common knowledge they have known for a long time, but the man in front of them with terrifying strength is ignorant of these common sense, which is really a little puzzling to them.
Qingluo said: "Yes, it is rumored that above the nine heavens, there is a vast galaxy, and there are hundreds of millions of stars in the galaxy, and the 'weak mercury' is just a grain of gravel among these hundreds of millions." ”
"Hundreds of millions of stars?" Duan Qianlang trembled, he suddenly thought of the place where he appeared after being struck by lightning, the place where he met the mysterious old man, and the desolate and inhabited place......
Too many things flashed through his mind, and for a while he was stunned and overwhelmed. In his heart, there seemed to be a voice telling him that he had actually gone through several stars before he appeared here.
As soon as he thought of this, Duan Qianlang felt as if his heart had been slashed by a sharp blade, and that was because he still had the heaviest concern in his heart, which came from the growing longing for his parents. Although he never spoke, going home was his greatest wish.
During the days when he left home inexplicably, he was like a wandering wanderer, a rootless duckweed, who did not know where to go.
Before, he had never heard of the vast galaxy above the nine heavens, and there were hundreds of millions of trillion stars. Now that he thinks about it, I'm afraid that the place where his hometown is located is really extremely backward, and there is no way to know this information, so that he doesn't even know what the Star Dou is called where his hometown is now.
Now it seems that wanting to go home may have become a luxury, or maybe whether you can return to your parents in this life is already very slim.
Qingluo and the three of them saw the look of loss on Duan Qianlang's expression, and even a little sad, they looked at each other, not knowing if they had said something wrong, touching Duan Qianlang's sadness.
With a thick sense of bitterness in his heart, Duan Qianlang let out a long breath of turbidity and said in a low voice: "Can you tell me about the situation here?"
Qing Luo was slightly stunned, and from Duan Qianlang's tone, he seemed to hear a hint of pleading. He didn't understand what was going on on Duan Qianlang's body, but looking at the other party's expression, he couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart, so he said some things he knew.
It is rumored that countless years ago, there was a vast ocean formed by weak water on Weak Mercury, which occupied most of the planet, which became the origin of the name "Weak Mercury".
I don't know when, by refining weak water, some strange people were able to mix it into magic weapons and pills, and achieved unexpected and amazing results, which suddenly made this originally unknown planet the focus of attention of countless creatures.
After the news broke, endless creatures poured into the weak Mercury like a tidal wave, and began to frantically harvest the weak water, causing the weak water resources like the ocean to plummet sharply.
So that endless years have passed now, and although this planet is still called weak Mercury, few creatures have been able to find a drop of weak water from this planet.
Although the weak water has dried up and disappeared, the planet is still full of life and has become the foundation for the survival of countless living beings.
Later, after being arranged by the masters, countless teleportation points were established for the weak Mercury, which facilitated the cultivation and life needs of the living beings. Now, countless years have passed, and everything on this planet has completely changed.
In a weak Mercury, there are five empires and hundreds of small countries in the human race alone. In addition, there are demons and demons. Each of them occupies a vast territory, forming three extremely powerful forces.
Person. In order to be able to occupy more resources of weak Mercury, the three clans of demons and demons naturally inevitably fight with each other. It is precisely because of this environment that no matter what race it is, it does not dare to slack off in the slightest in terms of cultivation.
However, over the past many years, the three parties have been in a relatively peaceful situation, and there has been no large-scale fighting between the major ethnic groups.
After understanding these things, Duan Qianlang finally had a certain understanding of the environment he was in. Now it seems that it is impossible to find a way home in a short period of time, and only by allowing yourself to live well and become strong as soon as possible can you have the opportunity to explore your way home.
"Father, mother, you have to take care of yourself, wait for the child, the child will definitely come back to you!" Duan Qianlang looked into the distance, shouted in his heart, and gradually put away his sad heart.
Providence has made him appear in different places again and again, but now he has no ability to change all this, so he can only choose to accept it.
He couldn't complain about fate, so he could only keep telling himself that he should cherish his life in this strange environment and break out of his own world, so that he could have the possibility and strength to return to his parents.
It's just that none of them who listened to the story noticed that when Qing Luo was introducing the various situations of weak Mercury, a faint color of sadness crossed his eyes.
When Duan Qianlang raised his head again, the whole person was already extremely calm, he first put away all the summoned beasts, then looked at Qing Luo, and said, "By the way, what is the 'battle group' you just said?"
Seeing this, the three of Qingluo were slightly relieved, and it seemed that the other party was no longer going to embarrass them. However, after hearing Duan Qianlang's question, the three of them were already able to confirm that Duan Qianlang was definitely not a creature on this star, otherwise they would not know anything about the "weak mercury".
Qing Luo was interested in knowing how Duan Qianlang came to Weak Mercury, but from the other party, he could clearly feel a taste of rejection, so he stopped this thought.
"I'll tell you!" another man from the three walked out and said to Duan Qianlang.
In weak Mercury, there are three major races: humans, demons, and demons. And in the territory occupied by the Terrans, there are many countries and countless cities. Many low-level cultivators in the human race can't often afford to obtain cultivation resources, and it is not always necessary for several people to work together to obtain limited resources.
Over time, with the consent of those in power, these like-minded people began to form various forces, large and small, and ordinary people called them "war bands".
The existence of these warbands, on the one hand, can get more resources by grouping, and on the other hand, they can also take on various tasks on the planet and get rich rewards.
All warbands are divided into low, intermediate, and high-level warbands. It is difficult for small warbands to survive on weak Mercury, but their numbers should not be underestimated. Only when they can stand the test can they move from the low level to the middle level and to the high level.
Each upgrade of the warband means that more members can be recruited and the strength of the warband can be expanded. As long as you are strong, you can take on some difficult tasks, and the rewards you get are naturally richer.
There is a lot of strength in the people, and there is a lot of firewood and a high flame!
For some casual cultivators who had just started cultivating, they all understood this to the end, so being able to join a powerful battle group would definitely have a multiplier effect on their cultivation.
The battle group where the Howling Moon Wolf and the others belong is called the "Blue Wolf" battle group, which has a reputation as not weak in weak Mercury and belongs to the high-level war group. It uses the wolf's head pattern as the battle flag, and it is a force that many loose cultivators want to join.
And the "Demon Dao" battle group, with the blue gossip pattern as the battle flag, has an extraordinary status in the weak Mercury, and belongs to the top battle group among the high-level war groups, and even some big families and big sects will give it three points of courtesy.
The relationship between the countless warbands of the weak Mercury is intricate, with alliances and hostilities. From time to time, warbands will break out between each other, and if hostile forces meet in the field, it is not impossible for them to fight each other.
The relationship between the Blue Wolf War Group and the Demon Dao War Group is precisely a hostile relationship, and when they met here today, it was Qingluo and the others who accidentally discovered a secret of the "Blue Wolf" War Group, so they were besieged by them.
And Duan Qianlang's sudden appearance directly changed the battle situation, otherwise the three of them would definitely die here today.
After hearing all this, everything finally became clear. It seems that in this "weak Mercury", the main way for low-level monks to improve their cultivation is to join the battle group and obtain a large amount of resources after winning the battle.
According to this person's introduction, Duan Qianlang had a rough outline in his mind, but the first time he came to this strange place, hearing these strange things, his thoughts were still a little confused.
After a long time, Duan Qianlang raised his head and looked at the three of Qingluo, and suddenly asked with interest, "Can you tell me what you said?"
"This ......" Qing Luo showed a look of embarrassment on his face, although Duan Qianlang saved them, but that matter was related to the safety of his own battle group, for Duan Qianlang, an unknown outsider, he was not easy to explain for a while.
"Forget it, don't say it!" Duan Qianlang waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
"Fellow Daoist, I didn't mean that......" Qingluo still thought that he didn't say it, Duan Qianlang was a little angry and was about to explain, but Duan Qianlang smiled and said, "It's okay, thank you for everything you told me, you guys go get busy!"
"Thank you for your understanding!" Qingluo hugged his fists and saluted, and said: "The green mountains will not change, the green water will flow for a long time, and we will have a period later." ”
"There will be a date later!" Duan Qianlang also returned the salute with a fist.
Qingluo just turned around, but saw the woman next to him take a step forward, and said with a smile: "This fellow Daoist, the big world is full of dangers, seeing that you are alone, why don't you join my 'Demon Dao' battle group, and you will have a good response in the future!"
"It's a good idea!" Duan Qianlang smiled at the woman, thinking in his heart that this woman was really clever and already had the intention of recruiting him, but he still had a lot of things to do, and he didn't plan to join any battle group, and then said: "But I still have some things to do, and I don't have this plan for the time being." ”
The woman's eyes flashed with regret, and she said, "Since this is the case, I can't wait forged." Today, the three of us were rescued by Taoist friends, and the great favor was beyond retribution, if there is something to do with Taoist friends in the future, you can come to the fiefdom of the Demon Dao War Group in Baili City to find us, and the three of us will definitely go to the soup and fire, and we will not give up!"
"Well, here's for you!" the woman said, pulling out a map.
"Good thing, thank you!" Duan Qianlang's eyes lit up, and he didn't refuse, so he took it immediately. For this strange place, a map is absolutely very precious to him.
"If you have time, you will definitely come to visit!" Duan Qianlang looked at it for a moment, then put the map away and smiled gently at the woman. Although she is a woman, she is arrogant, and Duan Qianlang has a very good impression of this woman.
"Farewell!" Qingluo and several people clasped their fists and saluted.
"Please!" Duan Qianlang watched them leave the clearing and gradually move away.
A few people walked a few meters, and Na Qingluo suddenly turned around and said from a distance: "By the way, Brother Dao, there is one thing I forgot to tell you, if you want to enter Baili City, you must have the 'Hundred Village Certificate'." It is impossible to enter the city without a voucher. ”
"Hundred Village Certificates?" Duan Qianlang frowned and said, "What is that?"
Qingluo said: "In the weak Mercury, there is a saying of 'thousands of towns and thousands of villages', that is, the geographical scope of each city. Because there are too many living beings, a rule has been formed in Weak Mercury that people who want to enter the city must pass the test of the central market town and get the voucher before they are eligible to enter the city. ”
"So troublesome?" Duan Qianlang furrowed his brows, originally thinking of going directly to Baili City from the teleportation circle, but he didn't expect that there would be so much trouble in entering the city. Thinking back to my hometown, I have never heard such a strange thing.
"What should I do?" Now that he knew this rule, Duan Qianlang had no choice but to decide to learn more.
"It's also very simple. Qingluo walked over again and said, "This 'Sunset Forest' has a domain field for master training, and monks like us can't teleport here, and they can't ask for help from their own clan in case of danger. The only place you can get out of here is through the waypoint. ”
The woman took over and said, "Yes, when you get to the waypoint, you'll find that there's a big road. If you follow the main road, you will find many villages. If you come across a village that is willing to accept you, you can join them and take the central market town quiz. ”
Qingluo looked at Duan Qianlang and smiled, and said, "But I think with Brother Dao's strength, it should be easy to get the 'Hundred Villages Certificate'. ”
"I hope so!" Duan Qianlang sighed, it seemed that it was the only way to go. He hugged his fist to Qingluo and said, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome!" Qingluo returned the salute and said: "If Brother Dao comes to Baili City, he will definitely inform me and others, so that we can enjoy the friendship of the landlord!"
"Haha, good!" Duan Qianlang had a good impression of these people, and their explanations did solve a lot of troubles for him.
"Let's go!" the woman smiled sweetly and turned away.
Duan Qianlang hugged his fists at them and said goodbye, watching them leave.
A few people walked into the distance, and the woman suddenly asked, "Qingluo, what do you think of this person?"
Qing Luo looked ahead, sighed, and said, "Momo, although this person is young, his strength is not bad, it's not simple!"
The man dressed as a Taoist priest was named Nangong Xi, who specialized in Taoism, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he looked into the distance and said, "Maybe he comes from an ancient and mysterious family. ”
Qingluo and Momo were slightly stunned, and then nodded slightly, as if they also agreed with such a conjecture.
