Volume 1 In the Name of the Gotian Clan Chapter 26 The Gray Lord's City Has No Walls

The barren dry dragon appears as its body, huge as a mountain, the empty Gobi is vast and endless, as far as the eye can see, from a high place, this behemoth is just a larger lizard crawling on the sand dunes, the barren and desolate Gobi is more like a boundless barren giant beast, and the ridge of the distant bully is the thorn on its back.

Taihao Duo and the others sat on the broad back of the barren dry dragon, as if riding on a big ship, Taihao Duo's own attribute is barren, which is consistent with the attribute of the dry dragon, and the scorching air wave spread by the dry dragon helps to improve his tripod body, and now he is at the peak of the fourth-class tripod body, only half a step away from the third-rank tripod body.

With the nourishment of the Tears of Elegance, the scorching waves spread by the drought dragon will not evaporate the nearby water sources, but they are still like purgatory to the water attribute ghost Fang Su.

Ghost Fang Su was covered with a layer of water film to resist the heat of the drought dragon, and tempered his own water attribute body.

Sitting on the back of the dry dragon, the vision was very broad, and in the distance I saw a large city standing at the end of the horizon, which was lined up one after another, all of which were square pavilions made of earth, high and low, and the most magnificent one in the middle was five stories high, like a pagoda.

The most strange thing is that this city has no walls!

In the wilderness, the walls are like strong arms, protecting vulnerable humans within the crooks of the arms, and without walls, it is equivalent to putting a piece of fat meat in the mouth of a hungry wolf.

"'The city of the gray lord has no walls!'" Jiang Heng said with a smile, holding the felt hat on his head to block the scorching sun.

"Most of the people who eat in the wilderness have heard of it! It's a good warning, isn't it?"

"This gray lord is very strong, what level of ancestral spirit warrior is it?" Ghost Fang Yue asked curiously.

Jiang Heng shook his head and said, "No one knows, no one even knows if he is an ancestral spirit warrior, or even a human being, only that the gray lord is extremely rich and controls eighty percent of the trade city of the Great Wilderness, he can use the Tianxuan Stone to stone those ill-intentioned people to death, even if he is a notorious wilderness raider, he has to obey the rules in the gray lord's trade city!"

Taihao Duo looked at the city without walls and smiled, "The fact that you can establish a trade city in the bleak Gobi is enough to say it all!"

"Don't underestimate this city!" Jiang Heng said, "The desolate Gobi is very large, bordering three of the nine surnames, the southwest is the Ji family, the east is the Jiang family, and the northeast is the Yin family, the three surnames are rich in land and products, but they are isolated by the Gobi and difficult to communicate, but there must be brave men under the heavy profits, and the merchants who pass through the desolate Gobi mostly settle in this city, although the Gobi is desolate and lonely, but this city is unexpectedly lively and prosperous!"

"Prosperous?" As soon as Ghost Fang Su heard these two words, he didn't know what thoughts came to his mind, "Prosperity must be prosperous!

Before Jiang Heng could answer, she was kicked aside by Ghost Fangyue and stuck in the gap between the bone armor of the dry dragon, unable to move like a flipped Wang Ba.

"The Void Rat is a demon beast monopolized by the Gray Lord, and it can only be bought in the city of the Gray Lord, and it is said that he originally relied on the Void Rat to excavate the ancient tombs and the Void Mansion Treasury to make his home!"

The Trade City has no name, it comes and goes freely, only a stone tablet is erected at the entrance, on which is engraved a number 'seventy-two', which may refer to the seventy-second city under the Gray Lord.

There are indeed a lot of people in the city, but it is not as lively as Jiang Heng said, there are some stalls on both sides of the messy and winding streets, and the merchants are sitting on the ground at will, with indifferent faces, not saying a word, others ask and answer a word, and most of the pedestrians who come and go are also silent, and they seem to be preoccupied.

After all, the Great Gobi is not a place of pleasure for drunken fans, and if you want to survive here, low-key and cautious are the top priorities.

Ghost Fang Su walked around the city for most of the time, and he didn't even see a few young women, and a few of them looked like women, and they were also covered under thick white robes, only a pair of eyes were exposed, but it seemed that Ghost Fang Yue and Aragaki Yi were radiant, attracting those indifferent passers-by to look sideways.

Jiang Heng didn't seem to be here for the first time, he knew the streets and alleys in the city well, and led everyone to turn left and right in the narrow streets and alleys, and came to a two-story earthen building, Ghost Fang Su couldn't help but say, "This city shouldn't be built by rats, why are the alleys narrower than the other, I suspect that the gray old man is probably a rat." ”

Everyone entered the tulou, only to find that the internal space is very large, very spacious, in the middle of the circular tulou is a large courtyard, there are many iron cages of different sizes, all covered with thick cloth, the cocoon moth is curious, lift a thick cloth, a fishy wind blows in the face, and the low roar of the beast is heard.

Ghost Fang Su hurriedly pulled her away, "You saw the same kind, right?"

Jiang Heng called out the owner of this party, it was a short and fat bald man, the two of them muttered for a while, the short and fat bald man just shook his head, his face showed helplessness, and when he saw the ghost Fang Yue and the other three girls, his bald eyes lit up, and he said to Jiang Heng, "The two of us are old acquaintances, I kindly advise you, beautiful women in this place must cover their faces, otherwise they will attract thieves to covet them!"

He leaned closer and said in a low voice, "There are some wilderness raiders in the city, and they have taken a lot of young women and young men from nowhere, and sold them in the slave pen, if those cattle see it, I am afraid you will not be able to get out of this city!"

Jiang Heng smiled, "Do they dare to mess around in the gray master's territory?"

"Naturally, you don't dare here, but don't you stay here for the rest of your life and don't go out? As long as you go out of the city, it's those people's world!"

"Okay, you should pay more attention to yourself, do you have a Void Mouse here?"

Humpty Fat Bald said helplessly, "How many times have I told you, the trading of the Void Rat is monopolized by the Gray Lord, except for his old man, there is no second person who knows how to raise this thing in the entire Pure Dust Heaven, I don't have it here, if you want to find the Void Rat, you can only go to the auction house of the Nine Surnames Main City to find the Gray Lord's people to buy!"

"Hey, your Pure Fire Golden Crystal is good, whether you sell it or not, I'll pay a high price!"

Jiang Heng said bluntly, "That's not mine, it's that kid, you can ask him yourself!"

Back in front of everyone, Jiang Heng sighed, and Tai Haoduo frowned slightly, "No?"

"No, let's do it for nothing!"

Ghost Fang Su smiled, "It's not in vain, I've been in the wilderness for so long, I've almost forgotten what normal food tastes like, and I have to eat a big meal in the city!"

Ghost Fangyue twisted and said, "I'm going to find an inn to take a hot shower!"

Taihao Duo saw that Jiang Heng and the boss seemed to be very familiar, and couldn't help asking, "You two know each other?"

"He sells wild beasts, and once he went to the depths of the Great Gobi to hunt silver-level fierce beasts, but he overturned and was besieged by the beasts, and I saved him, so I have some friendship!"

The short and fat bald man came to a few people, with a smile on his face, claiming to be Qin Chuan, the shopkeeper of this wild beast pen, and asked Taihao Duo if the Pure Fire Golden Crystal was for sale after a few words of greeting, and before he could come back, he saw the barren dry dragon lying on his shoulder, and his face changed instantly, "This young master, can let this lizard go over!"

Taihao Duo smiled, handed the drought dragon over, he put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, at this time the drought dragon who woke up yawned, and the barbarian beasts in the iron cage in the tulou roared in a panic, and a few black iron-level big birds were directly frightened.

"A gold-level barren dry dragon?"

"Good eyesight, but it's not for sale!"

Humpty Dumpty Boss was in awe of a few people, as a barbarian beast dealer, he knew better than anyone the power of a barbaric beast like a drought dragon, and could have such a fierce thing, could it be that these people were the descendants of the nine surnames?

He hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a banquet to entertain everyone, so that a few people could settle here at night.

Taihao Duo said that he was not in a hurry to eat, he wanted to go to the city to take a look again to see if he could find someone who sold the void rat, Qin Chuan volunteered to take everyone to visit the trade city, Jiang Heng was too tired to go shopping, so he stayed in the tulou to rest.

After walking all the way, Qin Chuan was diligent and prepared, occasionally knocking on the side to test the identities of several people, Taihao Duo only said that he was a wilderness wanderer who was expelled from the clan, Qin Chuan naturally didn't believe it, he just thought that he was unwilling to reveal the details, and he might have some secret mission on his body, so he didn't dare to ask more.

They came to the southwest corner of the Trade City, where the buildings were even smaller and denser, with potholes, and some old men wrapped in cloth sitting in the corners, motionless, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.

"This is the slave pen, would you like to go in and have a look?"

"What is the origin of the slaves inside?"

Qin Chuan said, "Some hostile clans, after breaking through the opponent's city, kill all the men, and the women will be sent here to sell, some big clans will regularly buy some of their own clans with high qualifications, and some are tribesmen who have been captured from the wilderness, and the fate of these people is very miserable, most of them are bought by some clans with a tradition of blood sacrifices, and they are sacrificed as human animals in the ancestral spirit sacrifice!"

"Let's go inside!"

Qin Chuan and the gatekeeper knew that after all, one was selling wild beasts and the other was selling humans, and the essence was the same, so they took a few people in after saying hello.

In the center of the slave pen is a circular square paved with loess, the middle is high and the outer ring is low, and the center is a stone pillar, which descends in a staircase outward, and on each step there is a circle of slaves, bound hand and foot, ragged, most of them are unclothed, the square does not even have a shed, the scorching sun shines on their faces, and many of them have chapped lips and almost faint.

Aragaki Yi couldn't help frowning with empathy when she saw them pitiful, and an imperceptible brilliance flashed in the depths of the eyes of a dull-looking female slave closest to her, casting a weak and pitiful gaze at her, and tears rolled in her eyes.

Aragaki couldn't help but look at Taihao Duo.

When the slave woman saw this, she immediately turned her weak and pitiful gaze to him!

Taihao Duo paused and looked down at the man!

Like most people, he was unclothed, only covered with a few rags in important parts, unkempt when he looked up, his black face had not been washed for a long time, and there were traces of sweat on it, and his hair was roughly cut short, jagged like a dog's gnaw!

Looking down, she was barefoot, her feet were cracked and rough, full of hard calluses, her legs were bitten by mosquitoes, they were also full of mud, and her body exuded a bad smell!

Such a stinking and sloppy woman, no one picked it up when she threw it on the side of the road!

But her eyes caught Taihao Duo's attention!

There was a hint of cunning and depth hidden in those black and white eyes, and unlike the rest of the slaves who were picked around like chickens and ducks, there was a glint of hope in her eyes.

Tai Hao Duo looked at her, and the woman looked up at Tai Hao Duo at the same time, her lips moved, and she whispered to him in a strange accent, "Take me away! All the luck in your life is to meet me!"
