The chief steward said with great certainty: "In the reserve, I dare not boast. But out of the reserve, I'm completely sure. ”

She paused, and then said, "I know, you are thinking in your heart that your strong Master of the Force will definitely come to save you." However, I can tell you for sure that after entering the Great Wilderness, your master may not be much stronger than a fifth-level cultivator. ”

"In the Great Wilderness, the greatest danger is not mutated creatures, not deadly radiation, but the whispers of the devil. The whispering of the devil does not depend on the level of the Force, but entirely depends on whether the individual's will is strong, and whether the soul is strong enough. ”

"In this regard, fifth-level cultivators and Force Grandmasters are basically the same, they are both vulnerable. If their will is not as strong as steel, their mental endurance is not strong enough. Then their final result, there is only one. That is, madness. ”

"Just like those mutated creatures that have no reason, they frantically attack all creatures within a certain range around them. Until the end, it is killed by other creatures. Or, dying of thirst, starvation, exhaustion. The stronger the practitioner, the longer the process. ”

Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but stand on end, and said, "You're not lying to me, are you?" Cultivation is originally a water grinding kung fu, which cultivator is not strong-willed? How can they go crazy so easily? Could it be that they are not as good as ordinary people?"

The chief steward sighed and said, "No, ordinary people will immediately go crazy as soon as they come into contact with the devil's whispering. There is not even a process of the will falling a little bit. If you don't believe me, 200 kilometers away is a great wilderness, and you can try it yourself. ”

Wang Xiaotian was silent. Although he knew very well in his heart that the chief manager would not really let himself fall into his will and go crazy. But if the challenge fails, that kind of blow will definitely affect the belief in cultivation, and if you want to reach the top of martial arts in the future, I am afraid that it will be absolutely impossible.

Besides, he was completely unprepared, blindly taking risks, and extremely unwise.

The steam locomotive raced forward at a fast pace.

Walking and walking, Wang Xiaotian felt that something was wrong. The air here is getting dirtier. As soon as he came out of that sturdy "coffin", he felt a slight itch in his nasal cavity with every breath.

Now, the itching sensation is becoming more and more obvious, and he can't help but want to sneeze. In order to defend himself against the foul air, he had to turn on the Force, from breathing through his mouth and nose to breathing inside.

However, if you do so, you will consume your own Force. However, anyway, his Force capacity is dozens of times that of ordinary people, and this consumption is nothing.

The chief manager saw Wang Xiaotian's approach and did not speak. She knew very well how depleting it was to maintain her inner breath. But she didn't instruct Wang Xiaotian how to deal with it.

Because she couldn't wait, Wang Xiaotian couldn't stand the harsh environment and offered to enter the protective cabin. In that way, it would be more convenient for her to bring Wang Xiaotian back.

Wang Xiaotian looked out of the car window and suddenly saw that there was a large area of flame-like clouds in the sky. Moreover, as the car progressed, the clouds looked bigger and bigger, and the colors became more and more intense.

He couldn't help but point at Yunxia and ask, "What's that?"

The chief manager turned his head to look at it and said, "That's the Red Flame Yunxia." It is lethal radiation that ablates the atmosphere to form plasma. Do you know about the aurora?"

In Wang Xiaotian's mind, knowledge about the aurora immediately appeared. He nodded.

Grand Pipe: "Red Flame Cloudy is similar to Aurora. The difference is that the aurora is simply weak compared to the red flame clouds. The aurora is very harmful to people. But the red flame clouds are extremely harmful. ”

"The darker the color of the red flame, the higher the intensity of the lethal radiation. The red flame clouds here are still relatively light in color, indicating that the lethal radiation is relatively weak, and humans can still withstand it. ”

"The darkest red flame cloud is a deep purple, with red in the blue, which is extremely strange and dangerous to look at. If you see a red flame cloud of this color, you can run as far as you can. ”

Wang Xiaotian stared intently, looking at the increasingly dense red flame clouds, if under this kind of deadly radiation, there was a sudden opportunity to escape, should he run, or stay by the side of the chief manager?

Running, of course, is free, but it may be life-threatening. Stayed, although he lost his freedom, but he saved his life.

How should he choose?

When Wang Xiaotian was entangled, he suddenly saw a unique building in the distance, on the land of a flat river, in the blink of an eye.

He rubbed his eyes to make sure he was right, there was indeed a very abrupt building.

He pointed to the building and asked, "What's that?"

This time, the chief steward didn't turn his head and said, "That's Red Flame Castle." ”

"Red Flame Castle?"

"Yes. It was a free city, and anyone could enter it freely as long as they paid the burg tax. It was also the last supply station for cultivators before entering the Great Wilderness. ”

"There, as long as you have money, you can buy anything you want. Similarly, if you don't have the money and can't afford to pay the entry tax, you won't even be eligible to stay inside. ”

Wang Xiaotian said with some surprise: "Could it be that the people inside will starve to death or be killed by mutated creatures while watching the people outside?"

The chief manager sighed and said, "I won't see being killed by mutated creatures. After all, the corpses of mutated creatures are also valuable. When a mutated creature appears, everyone will rush to kill it. ”

"It's a must, and there will be a fight between each other because of the ownership of the corpse of the mutant creature. But if someone starves to death, basically no one cares. Perhaps, some people will make boring bets that the person will last a few days before he dies. ”

"Here, the kindness of the strong is only worth a glass of Red Flame Winter Spring Wine. The kindness of the weak is not as good as shit. After all, a very hungry person may be able to live for an extra day or two if he has a bite of shit to eat. ”

Wang Xiaotian retched twice, glared at the chief manager, and complained: "Don't say it so disgusting, okay? If it were me, I would be killed and not eat shit." ”

The chief steward chuckled and said, "I'm just making an analogy." If you want to eat, you have to have a dog pull it for you. ”

Speaking of dogs, Wang Xiaotian suddenly remembered the black dog and the little monkey. These days, they have been following Cao Lianyou, being served like an uncle, and their lives are very comfortable, I don't know how many pounds they have gained again. Especially the black dog, the fat dog can't even walk. I'm going to have to train it well when I go back.

Soon, they approached the Red Flame Castle.

Wang Xiaotian saw that outside the entire Red Flame Castle, there was a four-meter-high fence.

When looking at it from a distance, Wang Xiaotian thought that these fences were made of wood. When he walked nearby, he realized that the fence was all made of animal bones!

These bones are long and short, thick and thin. The long foot is more than two meters, and the short one is more than half a meter. The thick one is thicker than Wang Xiaotian's waist, and the thin one is not much thinner than his wrist.

Wang Xiaotian was surprised, and couldn't help asking, "What kind of bones are these?"

Chief: "These are the bones of the mutated creatures I just mentioned. The entire Red Flame Castle is built with the bones, skins, and boulders of mutated creatures. ”

Looking at those unusually huge bones, Wang Xiaotian said in disbelief: "Just looking at these bones, they are already thick and big, which is very scary. How big were those mutated creatures when they were alive?"

The chief manager thought for a moment and said, "The largest mutant creature I have seen is four meters tall and more than ten meters long. ”

Wang Xiaotian blurted out: "Dinosaurs?"

The chief steward shook his head and said, "No, it's a thunderhorn monitor lizard." ”

Thunder Horn, Monitor Lizard, and Wang Xiaotian immediately remembered the Earth Walking Dragon. However, the seventh-level Earth Walking Dragon I saw last time was not as big as the chief manager said.

Could it be the cause of the mutation?

Wang Xiaotian was thinking about it, and the car had arrived in front of the gate of Red Flame Castle.

The gate can only be passed by one car. On each side of the door stood a tall, strong man. They were dressed in rough leather coats of khaki yellow, belts with animal bones fastened around their waists, leather shorts, and bare-chested arms, legs, and feet.

Their arms are thicker than Wang Xiaotian's waist. The two legs are as thick as Wang Xiaotian's hug, and one foot is longer than Wang Xiaotian's two feet combined.

Both of them were bareheaded, with exactly the same and peculiar pattern tattooed, which should be some kind of special sign.

The car stopped, and the chief manager lowered the window.

When the two saw the chief manager, they nodded to her very politely, and at the same time exclaimed, "Hello, Ms. Xuanying." Didn't you just leave yesterday, why did you come back again?"

The chief manager (Xuanying) smiled: "It's a bit urgent, I have to go back." As she spoke, she reached out and handed over a bag, "The entrance tax for five people." ”

A bald head took the bag, didn't open it, and put it directly into his arms, then stretched out his hand and said, "Please." ”

The car drove into the fence.

Wang Xiaotian saw that it was a very empty square inside. Except for the center of the square, there is a huge ring building with rock walls and animal skins as the roof, and the rest of the square is scattered with low buildings.

Some of these buildings are small houses with walls made of rocks and covered with animal skins. Some are sheds with several thick animal bones as pillars and animal skins on them. In addition, there were no pillars, only a few animal bones were casually tied, and a tent made of animal skins was built on them.

All the buildings together occupy only a third of the square, and more is occupied by vehicles and travelers.

The people who got off the vehicle were all well-dressed and proud.

The travelers, who did not have a vehicle, were some of them poorly dressed and dusty, and they carried huge burdens on their backs.

But there are more people in rags, like beggars. They cowered at the edge of the fence and looked numbly at the crowd.

About a third of these people were covered in glow. And the brightness and purity of the glow are not much better than Wang Xiaotian. The other two-thirds, although there is no glow flickering around them, are clearly not ordinary people.

Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "Those who don't have a glow on their bodies, are they all cultivators above level six?"

Xuanying nodded and said, "That's right." The two gatekeepers you saw just now are both sixth-level high-level. Hehe, a sixth-level high-level cultivator, you only deserve to look at the gate here. ”

Wang Xiaotian was surprised, "How can there be so many?"

The number of people he saw just now had exceeded hundreds, and sixty or seventy of them were cultivators of the sixth level and above.

In the Eastern Chu Kingdom, a sixth-level Force cultivator was already a member of a party, or the backbone of an important department. For example, Lin Shaotang, Shen Shuming, and Yu Wanlai. In the past few years, the sixth-level cultivators that Wang Xiaotian has seen can be counted on two hands.

However, there are so many Sixth-level cultivators here. This is incredible! Where did all these people come from? Eastern Chu State? Or Xiluo Kingdom?

Xuanying said: "What? This is not too little. If it was the outbreak of the beast tide period, the number of cultivators above level six would be more than twice as many as it is now. ”

"Besides, do you think there are only level six here? no, there are several level seven Force Masters here. Sometimes, the eighth-level Force Grandmaster will also come over. ”

Wang Xiaotian was puzzled, "Those seventh-level Force Masters and eighth-level Force Grandmasters, what are they doing here in this place where birds don't?"
