Chapter 27: The Endless Great Wall
"The Great Wall"
A Great Wall that took hundreds of years to build by humans is like a line, dividing the entire dragon continent into two parts, left and right, and even many scholars believe that the unexplored area on the left cannot be regarded as the territory of the dragon training continent at all.
However, this claim has been criticized by many scholars. The reason is the existence of the endless Great Wall.
According to historical records, before the completion of the Great Wall, there were still many ancient ancestors who lived on the other side of the Great Wall for generations.
Some scholars have even pointed out that the Great Migration a thousand years ago did not necessarily settle all the ancestors west of the Great Wall.
After all, from the very beginning, there were many people who were unwilling to leave their homeland, and they were not good at secular dynastic disputes, and they were very resistant to life here.
It may be safer here, but there are no so-called nobles over the rest of the world, and even the elders of the clan and the highest-ranking prophets do not enjoy any privileges.
Not everyone is willing to give up their freedom for the sake of stability.
The walls of the Great Wall are 700 feet high and 300 feet wide at the widest point, and there is only one entrance and exit in the West Asian network, with a thigh-thick metal fence.
On weekdays, there were only a bunch of five-man patrolmen and an aging administrator.
The job of the administrator is very simple, let the dragon fighter put down his badge and go by himself, as long as he can come back alive, exchange the badge back with ten silver coins, it's as simple and straightforward as that.
It is said that no less than 500 dragon fighter badges are recovered here every year, and these represent the warriors who will never return.
Out of respect for the Dragon Fighting Hall in the entire Dragon Taming Continent, even if the dragon knight wants to enter the dark forest, he will also land here and put down his badge.
Of course, their chances of survival are much higher than those of ordinary Golden Dragon Fighters.
Unless you go deep without knowing whether you are alive or dead, there is no big problem in flying out on a wurm.
Li Xiang thought that there should be very few people in this place, but he didn't know that he was wrong until he saw the bustling crowd less than a hundred meters away from the city wall.
Count Tucker said less, less than the proportion of all dragon fighters, less access to the dark forest, and here it was a sacred place for black market merchants.
Whether it's all kinds of rare raw materials or freshly baked wurmmons, this is basically the first stop.
The old man who put down the medal in the management office, with gray hair but a very clean beard, looked up at Li Xiang, as if he was surprised why he was just a person, but he didn't even have the idea of asking more. Directly waved his hand and let Li Xiang walk into the deep doorway.
"It's so fucking big, isn't it!" Li Xiang looked up at the towering tree above his head, feeling the smell of decay spreading in the air, Li Xiang, who had been walking here for a full day and had wiped out five pieces of dry food, couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
In the course of this day, except for seeing a team quickly passing in front of him from a distance, Li Xiang didn't even see the shadow of a wurm beast at all.
"Could it be that the way to open it is wrong?" Li Xiang couldn't help but think.
He knew he couldn't wander around aimlessly like this anymore, so he stayed where he was, waiting, and after a long time, a human voice finally came from front of him.
Li Xiang sped up and quickly found the source of the sound.
It was four people who were dejected, scarred and walking back, and one of them even had blood oozing from his face despite the gauze wrapped around his face.
Seeing someone, the four of them were visibly nervous, but when they saw that there was only one teenager, they relaxed again.
Li Xiang hurriedly stepped forward, "Did the seniors just come back from hunting, why were they so seriously injured?"
The leader is a big man, but he still has gauze wrapped around his face. Behind him were two young men and a young woman in her thirties, who seemed to be in a relationship with the big man.
Dahan didn't want to ignore Li Xiang's thoughts, as if he didn't see it, he passed directly by Li Xiang's side, and the two young men were obviously very depressed and followed silently.
"I'm sorry, he's got hurt, he's lost another player, he's in a bad mood. The young woman explained apologetically as she passed by Li Xiang's side.
Li Xiang smiled and nodded in response, indicating understanding. However, he had no intention of leaving immediately, but followed behind the four of them.
After a while, Dahan obviously sensed the young man's intentions, turned his head, and said with a displeased face: "If you don't want to die, don't keep following us." ”
The young woman patted him lightly on the shoulder and complained, "Don't do this, maybe this child is also lost." ”
"What do you know!" the big man shouted angrily, but he didn't mean to continue to drive Li Xiang away.
Li Xiang finally found an opportunity and said, "Are you going to leave the Dark Forest?"
The man ignored it, only the young woman smiled and nodded.
"Have you met wurms, can you tell me where they are, I've been here for a day, and I haven't seen a single shadow. Li Xiang continued to ask.
"Little brother, you should not go alone. If you want to go, go back and form a reliable team. The young woman reminded.
The big man said angrily: "Just you have a lot of things, he wants to send him to death, just let him send it, there are so many." He glanced at Li Xiang, pointed in one direction and said, "Follow this direction, go forward for three more days, there is a stone forest there, if you want to die, that place is quite suitable for you." ”
"Little brother, don't listen to him, it's a wolf pack, there are at least twenty or thirty of them, except for a few little wolf cubs, each of them is six generations old, and the white wolf king even has the strength of close to four generations. There is also an old wolf who is also level five, and my family is ...... by that beast," the young woman kindly reminded.
The big man shouted at her, and she quickly smiled apologetically and followed.
Li Xiang bowed slightly and returned the salute.
At that moment, Li Xiang followed the direction pointed by the big man, kept running forward, stopped to rest late at night, and two days later, he finally saw the first group of wurms on this trip.
It was a river, and there were dozens of green turtles, each the size of a calf. After discovering that Li Xiang was looking at them, dozens of green turtles instantly sank and disappeared without a trace.
Even though it was only a green turtle of the ninth generation, Li Xiang was also excited for a while, and it was the first time he saw a group of wurms.
After ten generations of wurm, there is basically no wurm bloodline on the body, and these green turtles, except for the harder shell, basically have no attack ability, except for grabbing back and polishing the turtle shell into a shield, there is no other use, and even if the wurm turtle shell of the ninth generation is polished, it is the price of dozens of silver coins.
The key problem is that these big guys are very chicken thieves, as long as they hear movement, they will immediately dive to the deepest depths, and sometimes they will not come up for ten days and half a month to catch their breath.
Li Xiang couldn't help but think, how comfortable it would be if there was a legendary space magic ring or something like that at this time.
It's a pity that this kind of artifact has long been extinct in the Dragon Taming Continent, so the four or five dragon fighters can bring back at most one wurm beast at a time.
Li Xiang continued to hurry, and sure enough, before late night the next day, he saw the stone mountain in the mouth of the big man.
Worried about startling the snake, he stopped at a distance of half a mile, and could see in the distance that there were phantoms shaking in the stone forest with a radius of nearly a kilometer.
In Li Xiang's eyes, it is a pair of moving Lucca gold coins.
