Chapter 44: Cross-border
The long sound of the horn lasted for a whole day, and gradually there were figures walking out of the wild bear ditch, some people were smug with their heads held high, with a large string of identity plates hanging around their waists, and some people were cowering, although they lost their identity tags, they finally saved their lives.
Wen Lan deliberately landed on the back of the three of them, his eyes seemed to drift behind him from time to time, and he took out a medicinal herb or several wild fruits from the grass basket on his waist in his right hand and quietly crushed them, scattering them far away in all directions.
The three of them zigzagged along the terrain and walked out of the mountain, Wei Zhen accidentally noticed Wen Lan's movements, and thought that those thrown things were not what he needed, so he didn't care.
Until the three of them completely walked out of the wild bear ditch and saw the group of slave soldiers patrolling in front of them, Wen Lan finally glanced at the mountain again, his expression was relaxed, but there was a look of pride that could not be concealed in his delicate face.
Ten miles behind them, a silver snake galloped through the mountain like a phantom, and its route overlapped with the path of the three of them out of the mountain, sometimes deviating, bending a beautiful arc-shaped mouth and sometimes emitting a slightly anxious sound of silver bells.
"Here, over there, why are there two more people?"
"Hmm? There's one that seems familiar. β
"Damn thief, dare to tease me, don't let Aunt Xiang find you next time!"
After running for half an hour, she finally gave up helplessly, and her figure folded, and she actually fled to the depths of the rhinoceros mountain range.
Outside the Wild Bear Ditch, in the ten-zhang wide tent, Mu Xiaosheng looked at the moving light spots in the jade plate expressionlessly, Mu Zhanhu was also paying attention, and estimated in his heart that there were only three hundred people who walked out of the Wild Bear Ditch in the end.
The next rules, the two of them were naturally very clear, and after another hour of silence, a slave officer walked into the tent and respectfully placed a roster in front of the two of them's desk, which was a ranking of the surviving slave soldiers according to the number of status plates they held.
Mu Xiaosheng didn't look at the back, and tore off the first page, which happened to be the names of the top thirty people.
"The rest is done according to the rules. β
He gave a faint order, stepped on the jade plate that had no light and flickered, broke through the tent above his head and flew back to Broken Tooth City alone.
Among the three, Wen Lan obtained one hundred and twenty-eight identity plates, Wei Zhen and Du Xiaoqiu were both ninety-eight or ninety-nine, and they were only ranked in the middle among the thirty people selected. The top three were all squads of the ninth-level spirit warrior combination, and the three of them were lucky enough to have never encountered such a tricky opponent.
On this night, the thirty people who had been defeated by the self-change of life obviously received some preferential treatment, and the food that night was particularly rich, and everyone had a full meal and rested on the spot.
In the evening of the second day, when they followed the city lord Mu Zhanhu back to Broken Tooth City, Mu Xiaosheng was already waiting in a tall hall in the middle of the city, and in the center of the hall stood a huge rune array, on which the runes and spirit stones were shining brightly.
This is an octagonal talisman array, although Wei Zhen saw it for the first time, he recognized it in his heart, this is a small teleportation talisman array that Master Mao Yiqing had mentioned. The method of identifying the rune array, the first meaning is to watch the shape of the rune array, and then identify the runes, the key third ring is when the rune array is activated, carefully study the rune combination and its trajectory, as for the want to break the array, you need to find out the feet of the formation and the center of the rune array.
"What do you want?" Du Xiaoqiu touched him lightly. "We're about to leave here and go to the bigger world. There was a hint of extreme excitement in his words.
Wei Zhen came back to his senses, pressed the thoughts in his heart, and when he looked at Wen Lan, the other party seemed to be in a trance, and his handsome face was neither sad nor joyful.
"It's a bit reluctant. He muttered as if to himself, the small lonely tomb outside Wild Dog Town, the scene in the ruins of the Maoshan Palace, and countless familiar and friendly faces came to his mind like a dream shadow in the middle of the night.
Under Luo Mountain, he once fantasized that one day he would go out of the Chidi Realm and go to the wider world outside, to realize his dream of revitalizing the teacher, but now when he really walked out, there was only a deep bitterness left in his heart, this is the path of life he has chosen, and he can't stop when he goes, although this may be a road of no return.
The formation was finally opened, and a dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire hall, and this small teleportation talisman array could only teleport fifty people at a time.
When the dazzling light passed, Wei Zhen immediately opened his eyes, and he was bent on tracing the trajectory of the teleportation talisman array, but he couldn't feel anything except the slight tearing sensation coming from his body and the seemingly endless darkness in front of him.
When everyone recovered from the sense of time and space that was almost spinning, they were already in another hall, and Mu Shangyuan, the lord of the Haiqi Country, greeted Mu Xiaosheng with a flattering face, and secretly sent out a brocade bag, and the two sides smiled.
Immediately, another teleportation rune array opened again, this time the feeling of space-time separation lasted longer, Wei Zhen's efforts to keep his eyes open failed, and his cultivation was not enough to see through the light of the rune array to study.
Time has passed almost fifty or sixty breaths, when everyone's figures appeared in a hall again, Mu Xiaosheng led everyone out of the main hall, outside the hall is a hundred zhang wide square, on the square, all kinds of people suddenly increased.
Mu Xiaosheng ordered everyone to stay where they were and not to make trouble, and walked to a three-story building at the entrance of the square.
After the tea time, Mu Xiaosheng walked out of the small building, his face was gloomy, and he coldly threw out a sentence to everyone.
"I'll come back in three days. β
It turned out that they had already come to the Lingluo Kingdom, a large country located in the center of the Red Earth Realm, and they had to use the cross-border rune array here to go to the Goluo Realm.
This kind of cross-border rune array is very profitable, and the people behind it do not dare to offend easily, even with the strength of the Hanshan Mu clan, Mu Xiaosheng is troubled by outsiders, and he is unhappy in his heart, and if he doesn't bring thirty slave courtyard disciples, he can use the cross-border rune array of his clan to return to the Gouluo realm.
Three days later, there was a long queue of people in the square early, and there was a lot of people everywhere.
Wei Zhen and Du Xiaoqiu stood in the middle of the team, and Wen Lan separated the two from each other.
"You said that Senior Sister Zifeng is too, she can already leave the Chidi Realm, why did she choose today?" said a woman in yellow with a few bruises on her face in the team next to her.
"I've heard that she's looking for someone here. Although her cultivation is low now, even the sect master can hardly see through her actions. Senior Brother Wang Dan secretly told me that the sect master had always wanted to send her to the upper realm, and it was said that she was still the Heavenly Spirit Sect!" said another woman in green, pouting.
"If only we had the same luck as her. The woman in yellow said with jealousy.
"Stop chewing your mouth, and don't be afraid that outsiders will listen to youβthe sect master, and she is coming. At this time, a woman in Tsing Yi reminded, and her eyes did not forget to glance at Wei Zhen.
The voices of the three young women were not loud, Wei Zhen only vaguely heard a few words, not to mention that he did not have the intention to eavesdrop, as for the "Heavenly Spirit Sect", he had never heard of it, but when the words "Senior Sister Zifeng" fell into his ears, his dark face throbbed slightly, but then he laughed at himself, thinking that there was no such coincidence in the world.
Having said that, Wei Zhen still couldn't help but glance behind him with the gaze of the three young women, a middle-aged man with two mustaches on his mouth was walking over with square steps and expressionlessness, and next to him was a young woman with a slender figure and a white dress, this young woman was wearing a white gauze hat on her head, which made people unable to see her true face, and her steps were light and ethereal, which was the posture of Twenty-Eight.
Wei Zhen glanced at it, turned around and stopped paying attention, Mu Xiaosheng urged a group of slave courtyard disciples to follow him into the hall where the cross-border talisman array was set up.
Seeing that he was about to step into the hall, Wei Zhen intuitively felt that there seemed to be a gaze behind him that stayed on him for a while, and he suddenly turned his head, but he didn't see anything.
The woman in white and the middle-aged man had already entered another hall leading to the Gora Realm before them.
