Chapter 22: Being Stalked
Finally arrived outside the city, after Nanyun and Zhao Min looked at each other, they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, the ancient city behind them seemed to protect a large number of human races, but they felt very panicked.
If you can't express your true feelings, you just feel panicked.
These people are so real and yet so illusory.
Beneath the orderly peace, there is a silent indifference.
"It's weird."
This kind of weirdness even made Zhao Min forget the pain of his relatives dying, and nodded thoughtfully, and then suddenly wondered: "How do you know about the fairy world?" ”
Huanshan Fort, an unpopular cultivation force, naturally didn't know the saying of the fairy world and the wilderness.
Looking up at the sun in the sky, the warmth of the sun finally made Nagumo feel a hint of reality, but he had reservations.
"I'm just following his words!"
Zhao Min accepted this statement and didn't think much about it.
An adventurous team is approaching, and its gains are the envy of those around them.
"Haha, it's really lucky, the harvest of this trip is enough for us to live in the city for another three months."
"Look at you like that, that's satisfying? My goal is to contribute enough to live in the city forever. ”
"Cut, what about me, put away your fantasies, the day I can live in the city until I get old, I will be satisfied. After death, it's a big deal to go out of the city to feed the dogs, anyway, it's a bad life. ”
"Alas, this time, I'm afraid that many people will die again, there should be many vacant residences in the city, a few brothers, work hard, let's go out of the city a few more times, and strive to live permanently this time."
"What the eldest brother said is, Ah Liang, don't go out of the city if you have the ability."
"Hahaha, I'm joking, this time I can almost buy a house, just a little bit, you must call me when you leave."
This ancient city has only been opened for a short time, and there are already good luck people and horses returning with a full load, with thick precious animal skins hanging on the horses, and the baggage on their backs is full of bulging bags, and the brilliance of the demon beast Neidan can not be hidden.
The group of people talked happily all the way, and after entering the city, they dispersed, and Nagumo and the two watched as these people completely disappeared from sight before turning back.
"Is it necessary to make a sufficient contribution in order to settle in the city, in addition to fair trade?"
Feeling the cultivation gradually recovering in his body, Zhao Min's face was strange.
At this time, many people were driven out of the city, and almost all of them were people who had been swept up in the fog before.
The people who drove them kept repeating the conditions for establishing a foothold in the ancient city, confirming the suspicions of the two of them.
Taken away and driven out, these people were mortals, and the expressions of confusion, anger and fear alternated on their faces, and eventually, people left the street.
His eyes stayed on the sign on the waists of those people, and Zhao Min saw the word Gu Yan.
As soon as their eyes moved, the two of them followed out quietly.
It turned out that these signs were only used as proof that people had come to the ancient city, and the ancient city was so big that it was impossible to accommodate the population indefinitely, so if you want to stay in the ancient city and be protected, you must have enough contributions.
Or hunt beasts and monsters, exchange their fur for credit, or find heavenly treasures for the city lord's mansion, or hunt desolate spirits.
The two who got the information connected back and forth, and shook their heads in unison.
Going out of the city and going deep into the spiritual ruins will inevitably have to go a long way, which is unrealistic for Nanyun.
As long as there is something to gain, out of the fog of the spirit ruins, and to the clear realm outside the ancient city, it will be safe, no one will rob the materials, and the people who rob and fight will be killed by the people of the city lord's mansion.
And in the spirit ruins, life and death are conceited.
Nanyun's temperament was indifferent, Zhao Min didn't know how Nanyun had such a big change in the past two days, he looked at him complicatedly, and said, "Why don't we agree on a place, if I can come back alive, the prey will be half of yours." ”
This decision surprised Nagumo, if it weren't for this place, the two would be enemies of life and death.
Zhao Min avoided his questioning gaze, nodded lightly and said, "Even if you still hate me, let's live first." ”
This?
Unsure of what the other party meant, Nagumo was a little entangled.
In such a strange situation, he could let go of his hatred, but if he wasn't here, even if he didn't seek revenge on Zhao Min, he wouldn't be able to calmly walk with her.
The same is true for her.
No matter what Zhao Gou and her father have become, in the end, they all died at the hands of Nanyun.
"Have you been a foreign slave for a long time, and you don't have any manhood?"
What does this mean?
Nanyun was puzzled, and she continued: "This fog is weird, what does it have to do with you? Even if I want revenge, I'm not looking for you. ”
It turns out that she thinks like this, Nanyun, but you are not as good as her.
He was puzzled, and she continued: "You can remember it, and wait until the day when you have the ability to seek revenge on me." ”
She had already taken the initiative to show her goodwill, Nanyun was still hesitating, and the woman's reserve and dignity did not allow her to stay like this.
Looking at Zhao Min, who was about to go away, Nanyun shook his head and said, "Then I will wait for you at the Peony Peak ferry at noon every day, and you take care of yourself." ”
Zhao Min in front of him didn't respond, and he didn't know if he heard it.
Standing in place and thinking for a while, Nanyun inquired about the direction of Peony Peak from passers-by and walked out.
The day of the blood moon once in a thousand years is the date of the large-scale attack of the desolate spirits on the ancient city, and after this day, the sky will be clear and clear outside the ancient city, and it is not suitable for the desolate spirits to enter.
The mysterious aura between heaven and earth will make the desolate spirits that come in dissolve out of thin air, these ranges are only suitable for the activities of human races and flesh and blood creatures, and there will be a large number of demon beasts who will see this opportunity to survive close to this area and avoid the cruelty of the misty desolate spirits.
Over the past countless years, the nearby monsters have formed a tacit understanding with the ancient city, and their survival in the periphery of this area is also equivalent to giving the ancient city a warning; And the ancient city is to hunt low-level demon clans and supply the needs of the city.
It turns out that this place is also the same as the spirit ruins, the place full of fog is the direction of the spirit ruins, only a few places without fog, clear weather, suitable for the survival of the human race, can establish a large-scale human settlement.
Guessing this place, he found a place where no one was, covered it with his sleeve, quietly took a drop of Linghua dew, and put the crescent moon close to his body.
As soon as he looked up, several people were approaching him with weapons.
He was indifferent and was about to leave, when someone suddenly shouted: "Stop! ”
There were many people on the other side, and it was impossible for Nanyun to give them a chance to take the lead, so he turned around and rolled to the ground, and the remnant sword in his hand was waved impermeably.
Several people didn't expect him to react so much, and quickly jumped to the side: "Hey, hey, stop, we're not here to trouble you." ”
Distanced from him again, several people looked curiously at the waving Nagumo.
"Haha, this kid must have suffered a lot before."
"This reaction, it's okay, boy."
Bite!
The long sword in his hand blocked a horizontal knife, and Nanyun stopped suddenly, like a civet cat, jumped out and went to the side.
When he got up, he didn't look very good-looking, and the fat man with a stick laughed: "Don't be angry, stranger, we just want to go out on adventures with you, you are alone, but you can't kill the prey." ”
"Huh? Could it be that we have been hunting all year round, and our expressions are a little fierce, so you misunderstood? A tall man touched his head embarrassedly, and smiled at Nanyun honestly, a thin black-clothed young man looked at Nanyun, his eyes were obviously scrutinizing, and with a faint open-mindedness, his temperament was very complicated.
"Haha, it looks like I scared him out of that, little guy, you have a good guts."
The tall man was in a loud voice, carrying a mace.
How could Nagumo be gullible about others?
"Hey, I said, you kid is also a mortal, why are you so wary of us? If you don't get the prey in exchange for credit early, your female companion will be robbed as a concubine, I said that you are also a man, how can you let your woman go out alone? What's wrong? Because she's a cultivator, you're relieved? ”
The man with the stick is also a teenager, short and stocky, white and tender, very pleasing, a little talkative, but not disgusting; The thin man was a little dashing and elegant, with a kind of rebelliousness in his eyes; It seems that the tall man is the most childish one.
The combination of the three of them is strange, their faces change very quickly, and they are fierce just now.
"Three, your way of greeting is too unusual." Nanyun raised his sword and judged, and he was not timid.
The thin man in black said lightly: "Just try your skills." ”
