Chapter 37: The Heart of the Beast God (I)

When you get closer, you can see that this is a small herd of wildebeest, about forty or fifty wildebeests. Twenty or thirty meters from the waterhole, the wrangler set up a simple tent, and an adult horse wrangler couple were busy around the tent, while two horse children were playing nearby.

Liu Yu and their arrival attracted the attention of the Ma couple, stopped their lives, and the male surnamed Ma said, "The three sons are good." ”

It was a young couple who looked to be less than thirty years old. The husband is tall and strong, with broad shoulders and a not very thick waistline, although he is wearing a rough step dress, he can still show a beautiful body curve, which fully demonstrates the unique strength of the horse tribe. The wife is slightly shorter than her husband, and although she is not as strong as her husband, she is much more toned than the average beast woman.

"Hello this big brother, we have been walking on the grassland for a day, and we want to ask for something to eat from you, I don't know if it is convenient?" Seeing the Ma man greeting, Liu Yu hurriedly said.

"It's not a matter of eating a meal, what's inconvenient, I'm afraid you won't be used to our coarse tea and light rice. The horse man said with a smile.

"Thank you so much, big brother. Liu Yu thanked him.

Next to him, Zhou Sheng took out some pastries and snacks bought in Wall City from his pocket, and beckoned to the little boy who stopped playing with the two and looked at them curiously: "Little guy, come here, uncle has something delicious here." ”

The two little boys glanced at their parents, then at Zhou Sheng, who was smiling, hesitated, but still couldn't resist the temptation of snacks, snatched them from Zhou Sheng's hands, and then ran away again.

"These two boys!" the mother shook her head helplessly, "Thank you, son, for making you laugh." ”

"It's nothing, kids, it's all like that. Zhou Sheng said.

Dinner was made by a bonfire outside the tent with a pot, and several people sat around it, each holding a bowl in his hand, and scooping something out of the pot to eat.

The horse herdsmen do not eat wildebeest meat, and what is cooked in the pot is nothing more than some edible plant roots, stems and leaves dug up in the prairie, and some pickled fish and shrimp small beasts. Although the food is very coarse, it tastes unique under the concoction of this couple.

After dinner, the Ma couple took out mare's milk to entertain Liu Yu and the others. The two little ones had already fallen asleep in the company of their mother. Originally, the Ma man planned to give them a tent to stay for one night, but Liu Yu politely declined. They all had sleeping bags, there was no need to live in a tent, and the family was not well-off, only this one. So after seeing Liu Yu and them having their own outfits, the Ma man didn't insist anymore.

The four of them sat around the campfire and chatted, although the horse man did not know much about the outside world, but he knew the situation on the grassland well. Know where the water and grass are more abundant, where there are pools to replenish drinking water, and where there will be swamps that people and animals cannot pass through.

From his mouth, Liu Yu also learned more about this grassland, which was called "Padgannu" by these herdsmen, which means paradise for wildebeest. There are probably millions of horsemen like them in this grassland, and they all depend on wildebeest herding for their livelihood. The Padeganu grassland is also the largest grassland in the beast territory, covering an area of about one million square kilometers, extending to the sea from west to north, and the southeast corner is connected to the heart of the beast god. Liu Yu's road to the Heart of the Beast God was only the southernmost edge of the Padeganu Grassland, and it was still a few hundred kilometers away from the center of the grassland.

The Padeganu grassland is rich in products, and the horse herdsmen actually occupy only a small part of the grassland, and there are countless creatures in the depths of the vast grassland.

The wildebeest is mainly used as a mount for the orc cavalry and to transport goods and personnel, of course, in addition to the horse and centaur tribes, the orcs will also use it for food.

In the depths of the Padeganu steppes, the most common are herds of tamed wolves. It is a ferocious beast, and it usually moves in groups, and a wolf herd can range from thirty or fifty to six or seven hundred. If you encounter such a large herd of tamed wolves, even a herd of more wranglers will not dare to compete with them. However, after thousands of years of confrontation, the wranglers also figured out the behavior of the wolf tamers, and they always found them far away and avoided them early.

Wolf taming is a favorite of werewolves, and there are often werewolves who go deep into the Padignu grasslands alone, hoping to tame a tamer and become their mount. A werewolf with a wolf tamer mount will have an exponential increase in combat power, and if the head wolf can be tamed, even the berserk bear warrior is no match for the werewolf in a one-on-one situation.

The grassland is also rich in mineral deposits, all kinds of ores, half of the ore needed by the beasts are produced in the Paderganu grassland. In the southern part of the grassland, near the province of Walker, various mines continue to transport the mined ore to the province of Walker for smelting and processing.

In addition to various ores and wildebeests, the grasslands also produce a liquid called "Tsusui". According to the horse man, this is a magical "water". It can burn, and most Wranglers will carry this "water" because it is easy to store, easy to carry, and can cook a large pot of meals with a small bit, which is much better than firewood hay. The Ma couple used this liquid for dinner, and the water is abundant in the grassland, and can be mined in many places.

In the bucket used by the Ma men to hold the water, Liu Yu and the others saw the true face of the water. It is a dark brown viscous liquid with a peculiar smell. The horse man carefully took out a little and put it in the container and lit it, and the flames immediately burst into flames. The horse man slowly poured water on the flame, and the flame did not go out, but continued to burn.

"It's so powerful! Not even water can extinguish it. Zhou Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

"It's a rare fuel, but it's too embarrassing to use it for fire cooking. Liu Yu nodded and said, "In the future, it will be popular in the world and become the most important strategic material." ”

The horse man didn't care about what they said, and in his opinion, the only thing that was to raise his wildebeest was to raise it well. After talking for a short time, he was also tired, so he said hello to Liu Yu and them, and also went into the tent to rest.

After having a deeper understanding of the Padeganu grassland, Liu Yu and the three of them had to travel tomorrow, and after the Ma men went to rest, they all got into their sleeping bags to rest.

The next day, bidding farewell to the horse couple, Liu Yu and the three of them continued to move in the direction of the heart of the beast god. After three days of trekking, the Heart of the Beast God finally entered their field of vision. What kind of city is that? When you see it from a distance, it's like a garden built in the sky, reaching into the sky.

It's close, there are no imaginary towering walls, strict guards, and the heart of the beast god seems to stand there quietly like a completely unguarded girl.

The convoy from Walker Province and Padganu Grassland entered through the west gate of the Beast God's Heart, and the convoy bound for Walker Province also passed through the west gate and headed behind Liu Yu and them.

"Is this the heart of the beast god in the imperial city of the beast clan? It's completely different from what I imagined!" Zhang Tianqi first sighed, "It seems to be a big garden full of vitality, it is so beautiful, all kinds of flowers and trees are hidden in the middle, it is decorated with colorful colors, birds and birds are singing in the branches, all kinds of small beasts are playing in the grass and treetops, the beast emperor really knows how to enjoy it!"

"When would it be nice for our Dragon Empire to have a garden city like this, and we can live in it for a few more years. Zhou Sheng also likes this environment very much, "Let's go in and have a look, it should be more beautiful inside." ”

Walking through the streets of the Heart of the Beast God is like being in a beautiful jungle, where all you can see is trees and flowers, and it is so difficult to find a house. Orcs of all races walk leisurely in the streets and alleys of the heart of the beast god, and the people living in this environment seem to have no busy work, and everything seems to be so calm. Liu Yu and the three of them walked slowly, enjoying the silence and peace here.

The entire city is divided into ten floors, and the lowest floor is also the largest in area, which is where ordinary orcs live. Walking along the road separated by two rows of tall broad-leaved trees towards the city, I heard not the cries of the vendors, but the chirping of all kinds of insects and birds. Only a bluestone pavement about ten meters wide is paved in the middle of the road, and the rest of the road is paved with hollow stone slabs. In the hollow place, the fresh grass grows strongly, and when you step on it, it is soft and feels very comfortable.

After walking about ten kilometers into the city, I saw the second layer of the Beast God's Heart. There is not much difference between the second and first floors, from the first level there are stairs leading up to the next level, and the carriage goes up a slope. The pedestrian staircase is turquoise, like a green carpet. On one side of the staircase, an artificially created waterfall cascades down from the second floor to the first, making the sound of rushing water.

The second level is only nine kilometers away, then the third and fourth levels. Liu Yu and the three of them walked all the way to the junction of the sixth and seventh floors, and were stopped by a team of Spirit Leopard soldiers.

"Where are the three of you from?What are you doing in Yanjing?What are your identities?You are not allowed to enter the seventh layer of Yanjing without a noble title. The leader of the Spirit Leopard squad asked three questions in a row.

Seeing that the leader of the Spirit Leopard Man team looked businesslike, Liu Yu didn't bother much, and directly took out the identity certificate prepared for them by Heimu and handed it to the Spirit Leopard Team Leader.

After carefully checking the identities of the three people, the squad leader let the soldiers behind him flash out a passage, returned the identity certificate to Liu Yu and said: "You can go up, but you can only go up to the seventh floor, the upper three layers are not for you to go, you have to keep in mind, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding you if you are arrested." Let's go, don't linger here. ”

After entering the seventh floor, the area was even smaller, even so, it took Liu Yu and the three of them a long time and asked a lot of people before finally finding a hotel to live in.

It was very pleasant to stay in a hotel with birds and flowers and green trees, and after a while, the three of them fell asleep.
