Chapter 375
Lin Mo didn't answer, but just asked the team to speed up a little. He shuddered from the depths of the prairie with strange howling noises.
After the journey officially entered the grassland, everyone fell silent, and the laughter gradually decreased, replaced by solemnity and vigilance.
Lin Mo followed the four young women to sit in the carriage, and the carriage slowly moved along the grassland. These four women are all graceful, although they are maids, but their gestures are full of bookishness.
One of the girls, named Qian'er, was particularly enthusiastic about Lin Mo and kept asking him where he came from. Lin Mo was vigilant in his heart, after all, he had just come to this world, and he was a stranger to the outside world in this world, and he didn't want to reveal too much information about the human world, so he just dealt with the past vaguely.
When the carriage reached a green meadow, Lin Mo noticed that there seemed to be something hidden in the grass, so he took a closer look. I saw a few places in the grass with dark colors, and I don't know if it was the traces of wild beasts that had trampled on it.
Lin Mo just wanted to remind everyone to pay attention, but he thought that he knew very little about this strange spiritual world, so it seemed too unusual to remind him rashly, so he couldn't help but make no sound.
At this time, Qian'er leaned over again and said enthusiastically: "Why don't you show me your little sword?" I love sparkling swords, it must be beautiful. ”
Lin Mo hurriedly smiled and politely declined, thinking that it would be better to attract less attention. At this time, the carriage suddenly bumped, Lin Mo and Qian'er almost fell, and everyone couldn't help laughing.
The carriage continued to pass through the yellow desert, and Lin Mo saw through the window that there was an endless stretch of yellow sand outside, and occasionally a whirlwind rolled up the sand and dust, and the scenery was very desolate.
In the chat, Qian'er took the initiative to introduce some information to Lin Mo: "Lin Gongzi doesn't know the origin of our group, right?" Let me introduce you to it. This convoy belongs to the Tiandong firm, and Mrs. Fang is the main person in charge of the firm.
She was originally a young lady from a wealthy businessman and married the grandson of the Fang family. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Fang Langjun died early, and Mrs. Fang continued to take care of the business.
The four of us are all girls that Mrs. Fang brought with her to serve. This time, we went to Anyuan City because the city ordered a large number of weapons from our firm and some rare spiritual weapons. It is said that there may be a beast tide in this vicinity recently, and the intention of the city lord to strengthen the defense. ”
Lin Mo listened quietly and did not interject.
Qian'er sat next to Lin Mo and whispered to him, "Brother Lin, you may not know that the beast tide has intensified in recent years, and all major cities are strengthening their defenses and strength. Anyuan City is no exception, they need powerful weapons and magic weapons to protect the city. ”
"It turned out to be the influence of the beast tide." After hearing this, Lin Mo was thoughtful, and then asked, "How can the owner of such a big business be able to operate?" How many people do you need, and where do you get these magic weapons?"
Qian'er didn't know very well, and said with a smile: "I don't know much about this, and we rarely know the details of the business."
"All I know is that our firm has some great powers, and can collect these rare things from all over the world, some may be obtained from ancient tombs, and some may be forged by masters. But I don't know who it is. If Lin Gongzi is interested, he might as well go and ask Mrs. Fang when he arrives in the city. ”
Lin Mo thought that he was still a newcomer, so he couldn't ask too much about the insider, so he could only give up.
Soon, there was a sudden commotion outside the car, and Lin Mo looked at it, and it turned out that the caravan forward had caught a few man-eating beasts and was tying them up and taking them to the back of the convoy. The beasts were extremely ferocious and cannibalistic, and they must have appeared to attack convoys.
While the two were chatting, the carriage had already driven out of the grassland and into a barren forest. Lin Mo looked at the changing scenery outside the window, and a trace of uneasiness swelled in his heart.
The carriage passed through the deep jungle and came to a stretch of yellow sand. Lin Mo looked out through the window, and saw the yellow sand flying all over the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and the scenery was extremely desolate.
Qian'er told Lin Mo that they had reached the boundary of the Qingluo Desert again, and it was the isolated place they would cross next. Lin Mo's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked Qian'er to say more about the situation of this desert.
After thinking about it, she only knew some rumors, talking about the boundless yellow sand here, and how easy it was to get lost in a desert storm. "But Lin Gongzi can rest assured, we have brought enough water and supplies, and with Lao Zhang here, there will definitely be no problem."
Although Lin Mo was still a little worried, he slowly let down his guard when he saw that Qian'er didn't care. The two casually chatted about some inconsequential topics, hoping to kill the long journey.
The Cheongna Desert showed boundless sand dunes and sand winds raging in front of the convoy. Lin Mo leaned against the window, staring at the desert, and he guessed that the Qingluo Desert might have some connection with the beast tide, or there were some important clues hidden.
Qian'er looked at Lin Mo's expression and said gently: "The Qingluo Desert used to be a prosperous place in the fairy world, but since the outbreak of the beast tide, this place has become a place of dead silence. The threat of the beast tide is far greater than we know, and the entire spirit world is trembling. ”
The Yellow Desert is very vast, and Lin Mo sat in the carriage for a few days, although the carriage was very comfortable, but it was also a little quiet.
On this day, Lin Mo suddenly heard someone outside the car mention the "beast tide", so he came to his senses and looked out the window. I saw several young men with spears walking side by side, and there were cavalry guards on either side. A short-haired woman at the head looked serious, as if to describe something.
Lin Mo hurriedly asked about Qian'er's situation. Qian'er explained in a whisper that the short-haired woman's name was Xue'er, and she was a hunter in the caravan who often went to the surrounding area to spy on the movements of tigers and wolves. Today, she found a large number of snake marks in the desert, which are suspected to be a harbinger of the gathering of snakes and beasts, and she must hurry out of here.
I see, Lin Mo thought secretly. He remembered that the last time he faced a large-scale beast tide, he was almost wiped out. Although the caravan was large in number this time, except for a few monks, most of them did not know spells, and it would be difficult to resist the tide of beasts.
Lin Mo was thinking about how to help the convoy deal with the beast tide, when he suddenly heard Qian'er remind him to settle down, so he put away his thoughts and prepared to get off the car to rest.
He had to inquire about the situation in the surrounding area, in case he really encountered a beast tide, he could deal with it in advance.
When they got out of the car, it turned out that the convoy had finally arrived at its destination, and a majestic stone city appeared in front of them. The walls are tall, and the towers are equipped with powerful crossbow arrows, like an impregnable fortress. Lin Mo was amazed by the size and defense of the city, and understood that the city was not simple.
When the carriage approached the city gate, Lin Mo saw how majestic this big city called Anyuan City was. The city wall is unusually thick, I don't know what material it is made of, standing like a mountain. Towers stood tall, and the crossbowmen watched the approaching caravan wary.
"What a big city! This defense is so tight, it is no wonder that it can protect the people in the midst of the beast tide. Lin Mo was sincerely amazed. Qian'er explained that Anyuan City is an important place in this area, and it is often attacked by beasts, so the defense is complicated to ensure safety.
Qian'er looked at Lin Mo's exclamation and added softly, "Anyuan City is one of the most powerful cities in the entire spirit realm. Its well-defended city and its many monks are there, making it a jewel of the spiritual world. Our task is to deliver the goods of the firm safely. ”
Lin Mo nodded, thinking that if he could come to such a big city this time, he could also see the vastness and magic of the spirit world.
As the caravan approached the gates, the crossbowmen overhead shouted, "Stop! Get checked!"
Lin Mo hurriedly looked out. I saw the city gate slowly closing, and the gatehouse was full of soldiers with spears, watching the approaching convoy with a strong guard.
A moment later, a middle-aged man in silver armor walked briskly to the top of the city and asked loudly, "Where do your friends come from?" Dare to ask what kind of goods?"
Zhang Kui, who was the leader, hurriedly replied: "This son, we are a Tiandong caravan from the east, and we will send weapons and other things in the fate of the city lord of Anyuan."
The silver-armored man pondered for a moment and said, "The situation is turbulent, and Anyuan City has also strengthened its precautions. Please also cooperate with the inspection and prove your intention before entering the city. ”
Lin Mo looked at Zhang Kui and hurriedly nodded and agreed. Seeing that the inspection was underway, he secretly speculated about the identity of this silver-armored man, and thought that he must inquire clearly when he entered the city.
The silver-armored man nodded, turned and greeted the city. The convoy waited quietly, only to see two people in strange clothes slowly walking on the city wall.
Dozens of soldiers on fast horses galloped side by side, following behind the two men in strange clothes, and the dust kicked up obscured the day. One of the silver-armored warriors at the head stopped his horse's hooves, raised his hand and ordered: "The convoy obeys the order, stop for inspection!"
One of the two men dressed in strange clothes is a Confucian scholar dressed in white, wearing a scarf and holding an ancient book. The other is a monk in a blue robe, with a bald head and a wooden fish in his hand. The two looked down on the convoy underground from the city walls.
The silver-armored man clasped his fists at the two and said, "Two Dao Leaders, please help inspect the convoy to make sure there is nothing unusual."
After Confucius nodded, the ancient book in his hand suddenly flashed with yellow light, enveloping the convoy. Not to be outdone, the monk picked up the wooden fish, and the cyan light curtain swept across the carriage.
After a moment, the two of them withdrew their mana and said something to the silver-armored man. I saw the silver-armored man shouting: "Release!" The gates of the city slowly opened.
Lin Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other. I only heard the silver-armored man say: "Mrs. Fang has already chartered a floor in the Ruyun Inn in the west of the city, please move here."
Zhang Kui hurriedly received the order. Lin Mo watched the convoy enter the bustling city, and couldn't help but be full of curiosity and anticipation about this new world.
The white-clothed Confucian and the monk in the blue robe were waiting in the city, and Zhang Kui was curious and surprised by the two. He ordered the convoy to stop and personally walked to greet him. The two smiled and said that when the city lord heard that the Tiandong caravan was coming, he specially sent them to meet them to ensure that the convoy entered the city safely and smoothly.
Only then did Zhang Kui know that they were actually high-level immortal cultivators! It is no wonder that the city lord attaches so much importance to the Tiandong Firm, and actually sends two masters to greet him.
Zhang Kui thanked him again and again and led the convoy into the city gate. He also specially told the two monks that Mrs. Fang had booked the Ruyun Inn in the west of the city, hoping that the two of them would be able to visit them then. The two smiled humbly and said that they would definitely go to visit the distinguished guests.
When Lin Mo and the convoy entered Anyuan City, he found that this city was far bigger than he imagined. There are many shops along the street, and the pedestrians are weaving, and it is very lively. But most of them had solemnity and vigilance on their faces, and they still carried swords and bows and arrows on their backs.
Lin Mo's heart moved, it seemed that Anyuan City was facing some kind of threat, and the residents were all vigilant. He looked down the street, and saw that the road was wide and straight, stretching endlessly into the city. The tall towers and walls loom in the distance, showing the vastness and vastness of the city.
The convoy moved slowly, and the surrounding residents were watching sideways and whispering. Many people were surprised and puzzled in their eyes - the fact that a convoy of this size was able to enter the city from the outside seemed to be very powerful.
Lin Mo felt that the aura in the air was very rich and rich, but he couldn't absorb any of it. This made him both regretful and helpless, and he could only hope that he could break through the bottleneck as soon as possible and cultivate to the fourth layer realm.
On the other hand, the huge city also brought Lin Mo infinite reverie. How many secrets does this city hide? Will there be a high-ranking person who lives in seclusion? He may be able to get an unexpected opportunity here, thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a little excited.
The convoy slowly moved forward on the crowded streets, and Lin Mo keenly observed the surroundings, trying to explore the mysteries of this big city.
The convoy struggled through the crowded streets, and the speed of the turtle car was severely slowed down. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Kui immediately sent a strong guard to shout orders to the crowd along the street to open the way.
They waved flags and shouted, creating a wide passage for the convoy to move smoothly.
People were puzzled, but they automatically made way for the convoy. Lin Mo sat in the car, looking at both sides through the window lattice. He found numerous horse-drawn carts and livestock parked on both sides of the street, and it turned out that the local residents were preparing to evacuate and assemble in the city.
As he traversed the streets, Lin Mo witnessed multiple facets of the city. Tall houses rise from the ground, and some buildings have fluttering flags on them, showing the existence of various sects. The streets are lined with stalls selling everything from monster skins to elixir herbs.
While he was thinking, the convoy had already crossed several streets and came to a tall vermilion archway. Both sides of the archway were full of sword-wielding guards, with grim expressions. Lin Mo realized that they had arrived at the place where the goods were delivered.
Originally, Tiandong Firm would designate a special warehouse in each big city, which would be guarded by the city officials. Now they have arrived safely. Zhang Kui ordered a stop, jumped out of the turtle car, and led people to negotiate. Lin Mo got out of the car one after another, walked through the archway, and came to the wide courtyard.
I saw that the tall warehouse was surrounded by a rectangle, and the inner and outer three floors were armed guards. A middle-aged man in a brocade robe was talking to Zhang Kui, who seemed to be the director of the warehouse.
