Chapter 180: Barren Land
Just as the wasteland of the Great North was shaking and the wind and clouds were changing, the southern part of the wasteland was still like every monotonous and boring day and night for thousands of years, there was a dead silence, and there was nothing unusual.
On the night of the celebration of the Win clan, Wu Ye quietly left Tongchuan City.
He didn't ride a horse, but drew the magic talisman that Mo Chuchen taught him on the soles of both feet, and pasted two wind talismans on his calves.
Spread his feet, ran wildly, traveled five hundred miles day and night, and crossed the border in the southwest of Wuwei Kingdom in two days.
After leaving Wuwei Kingdom, he slowed down his speed and used the speed of an ordinary person to move forward unhurriedly on the wasteland of Yima Pingchuan.
In order to increase the difficulty, he increased the load on Wan Junhuan again and again.
Even if the Nine Refining Demon Body repaired the broken muscle bundles again and again, this period of cultivation also made him taste the pain of suffering in hell back then.
However, feeling the abundant golden spiritual power in his body, and cleansing his true qi over and over again, his true qi was gradually contaminated with a trace of unstoppable aura, Wu Ye knew that the pain he had paid was completely worth it!
With the help of Wan Junhuan, his strength had improved again in just seven days, and he could faintly feel that his true qi had condensed into a solid like small beads in several meridians.
This is the sign of the Innate Sevenfold Realm!
The innate sevenfold master, who is not yet twenty years old, is definitely a miracle in Wuwei Kingdom!
Wu Ye was not complacent, but cultivated even more frantically, and even put the load of Wan Jun Huan. It was added to a full 3,000 catties at once!
Just because he knew that the Central Plains he was about to go to was a terrifying place where "there are as many congenital as dogs, and he may not be able to shake Ning Gang when he walks all over the streets". Once you go to the Central Plains, it is the life of the miscellaneous soldiers, and once you meet a real master. If you don't even have time to say a line, you will be beaten to death with a slap!
"I hope that this trip to Jiuquan can be fruitful. It is best to break through the innate barrier on your own, climb to the Qi refining stage, and become a real cultivator before going to the Central Plains! In this way, after going to the Central Plains, you can first find a small sect with low strength to mix in, so as to avoid the fate of being cannon fodder!"
That's what Wu Ye intended.
After walking west for three days and three nights, I didn't see a single human village, but the surrounding environment became more and more sinister.
As far as the eye can see, there is a monotonous Gobi desert on all sides. The ground was paved with fist-sized pebbles, and only on rare occasions could you see half of a crumbling mountain of earth eroded by the wind, and occasionally one or two pieces of land, all barren saline. Except for the bitter and astringent thorns, none of the hairs grow.
For a whole day, Wu Ye had not seen a single animal except a chameleon, and the dusky sky seemed to collapse at any moment, pressing on people's hearts. Bring an incomparably suffocating suffocation caused by incomparable emptiness.
Fortunately, he prepared a large amount of food and water in the Five Yin Transformation Divine Ring, otherwise he would have starved to death and died of thirst in this barren land.
He finally understood why the Wuwei people, who were fighting for every inch of land, would give up attacking this land, and also understood why the demon beasts who saw the needles were disdainful of this place.
This is not a poor mountain and bad water, there is no mountain and no water here at all!
However, Wu Ye did not speed up, and still swayed unhurriedly on the Gobi Desert, he regarded this journey as a special cultivation, for the tempering of his mind and will.
After ten days of walking on the wasteland, in the distance, he finally saw a huge mountain range rise from the horizon, stretching across the wasteland.
The savages of Jiuquan called this mountain range the Heavenly Wolf Mountain, which was so high that even the most majestic goshawk could not fly over. ...,
In the middle of the Sky Wolf Mountain, there is a long canyon that connects the two sides of the mountain range.
On both sides of the canyon are smooth cliffs that go straight up and down.
According to legend, there was no such canyon originally, but in a celestial war 10,000 years ago, a celestial man fell into the mortal world with a giant axe in his hand carelessly, and it happened to be cut on the Sky Wolf Mountain, cutting the Sky Wolf Mountain Range into two sections.
Therefore, this canyon is called "Giant Axe Gorge"!
After passing through the Giant Axe Gorge, which is fifty miles long, you will arrive at Jiuquan.
This is one of the few places in the southern part of the wasteland where some creatures breed, and it is also where the Nine Springs savages thrive, a basin surrounded by the Heavenly Wolf Mountains.
As for after crossing the Nine Springs, and then go west, then no one knows what the place is, according to the legend, it is an endless desert, and the end of the desert is also the end of the Pangea Continent, is an abyss that leads directly to the Nine Secluded Yellow Springs.
As soon as he entered the Great Axe Gorge, Wuno put on a white helmet made of ox skulls and pulled out two sharp horns on either side.
In order to facilitate his actions, his current identity is still the young patriarch of the Ying clan, and in his arms he also carries a sealed book written by Mengyu, the king of Wuwei, and it is also covered with the blood-colored seal of Wuwei Kingdom.
But he wasn't ready to use force.
After personally feeling the desolation of this land, he had already scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the old fox Cao Yang in his heart to the point that the grave was smoking, such a land, even if there was no nuisance from the Jiuquan savages, it would be difficult to occupy it, and even if it was occupied, would it be possible for them to eat stones and northwest winds every day?
Fortunately, the Ying clan does not rely on farming for a living, and his plan is to have a good talk with them after finding the Jiuquan savages, first to see if they are the real remnants of Great Xia, and then use the money to buy a piece of land and build a "Jiuquan City" as a business base, which can be regarded as an explanation to King Wuwei.
If the old fox dares to talk more, he will ask him to send Cao's private soldiers to Jiuquan City to assist in suppressing the bandits, and the old man will not dare to come!
Wu Ye estimated that as long as the IQ of the Jiuquan savages was a little higher than that of the orangutans, they would not refuse to exchange a piece of land where birds don't poop for a large sum of money, not to mention that the Win clan could also bring the medicinal materials, weapons, and cloth they urgently needed from outside.
This is a happy thing for everyone, and it shouldn't be too difficult.
After passing through the Giant Axe Gorge and officially entering the basin, the temperature was suddenly seven or eight degrees higher than outside, as if there was a fire under the ground, and the soles of the shoes quickly melted.
Rao is Wu Ye's rough skin and thick meat, and when he hurried during the day, he complained bitterly, and at the end of the day, he didn't know how many blisters were burning on the soles of his feet.
After walking in the basin for a day and a night, there was no trace of the Nine Springs Savages, and in the evening, the bloody remnant sun smeared the wasteland into a red patch, and Wu Ye leaned on a weathered stone forest, took out the dried meat and water from the Five Yin Transformation Divine Rings, and chewed silently.
There was no one around, even the wind was lazy, and there was a ride on his face, and the only living creatures in sight were a few gray vipers among the pebbles, and two parched poplars.
Just then, he heard a soft laugh behind him.
The hairs on Wu Ye's neck stood on end all at once.
He had already checked, there must be no one in this stone forest, and he didn't hear half of the footsteps, who could walk up behind him and laugh without even noticing, and he didn't know anything?
Without a moment's hesitation, Wu Ye shot out, a fish jumped forward and rolled over, more than twenty zhang longitudinal, and when it bounced up, the fog phantom knife had already swirled into a black arc of light in his palm, and he could get out of his hand at any time.
The iron cloth shirt and the golden bell jar of the two outer defense stunts also ran to the limit, and a faint bronze light appeared on the skin!
There is no one behind it. ...,
But the jerky and water he had put on the stone were gone.
Wu Ye narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, except for this small stone forest, there was an endless wasteland within a radius of dozens of miles, and the horizon could be seen at a glance, and there was no place for Tibetans at all.
And the stone pillars in this stone forest, that is, a little thicker than the arm, unless the person who laughs is a snake spirit, will definitely show his buttocks!
The hot beads of sweat rolling down Wu Ye's forehead quickly evaporated in the scorching air.
After a moment of silence, he sat back down, took out the second portion of dried meat and water bag from the Five Yin Transformation Divine Ring, and at the same time used a very covert movement to summon two talisman ghosts, allowing them to hide among the rocks, adjusting them to an angle just enough to see his back.
He touched his head, spat on the ground, and muttered, "Damn, I'm dizzy from the heat, and my ears are hot!"
Then, chew heartily.
In the sea of knowledge, it is through the eyes of the two-headed ghost, always staring at every move behind him.
Soon, he "saw" that behind him, a man rose silently from the ground!
This is a very eccentric person, like a normal person who has been flattened all of a sudden, and turned into a dwarf less than a foot tall.
However, ordinary dwarves would never have such strong muscles and hideous expressions.
This dwarf was covered with stone armor made of rock, and this outfit alone weighed at least one or two hundred catties, but he was not affected in the slightest.
The dwarf held a hammer in his left hand and a chisel in his right hand, his face was full of ashes, like a ground mouse, looking at the jerky in Wu Ye's hand, his eyes shimmered, and his throat rolled up and down as if he had a walnut hidden.
Seeing that Wu Ye still didn't notice his presence, the dwarf carefully inserted the hammer and chisel into the wide belt around his waist, rubbed his hands, and let out a sharp and sharp sneer!
Wu Ye jumped up again!
Seeing that he was fooled again, the dwarf couldn't wait to pounce on the jerky and water, but this time Wu Ye did not pounce far, and when the dwarf caught the jerky and water bag, Wu Ye also stuck his throat and lifted him up!
"Hiss!
The dwarf's eyes bulged, he couldn't say half a word, and his legs kicked in the air, but he couldn't kick Wu Ye's body.
"Whoa!
From the Gobi Desert beside Wu Ye, hundreds of dwarfs scurried out, holding hammers and chisels, and tweeting at him! )
