Banditry.

When Li Changan came to this conclusion, he was stunned in his heart.

At Mr. Two's trade fair, he wanted to obtain the "Wood Spirit Fairy Transformation Formula", but he didn't expect this formula to come from Mr. Two himself.

And if you want to get this recipe from him, there is only one condition he gives - to suppress bandits.

In fact, in this trade fair, Mr. No. 2 took out a lot of good things, which are usually rare and rare, and the exchange conditions he proposed were actually bandits.

To know.

The people who are qualified to participate in the trade fair presided over by Mr. No. 2 are either free spirit masters with a certain fame and strength like Li Changan, or nobles and wealthy businessmen with good status like Bai Chengjie.

And Mr. No. 2 took out so many good things, and the price he proposed was actually to suppress bandits.

It is equivalent to invisibly blending some large and small forces in Molong City.

It's definitely a lot of force.

Could it be that the bandits robbed the "Dragon Faith"?

Or did it anger Mr. Two?

But Li Changan had a doubt.

With the strength of the hidden forces that can be as famous as the "Astronomical Society" with the "Dragon Faith", if you really want to suppress the bandits, you can do it yourself, right?

Of course, if you want to exterminate the bandits around Molong City, you must pay a certain price, and it is not incomprehensible that Mr. No. 2 is using things to smooth out this price.

It's just that just when Li Changan thought that this was the case, as the current "Astronomical Society" was preparing for the "phase", he also received instructions from the "Astronomical Society".

The goal is surprisingly unanimous - to suppress the bandits!

If it's just "dragon faith", you can use the reason for being angry that something was robbed.

But even when the "Astronomical Society" was involved and the goal was the same, Li Changan realized that things were not simple.

Putting away the envelope sent by Liu Rose, Li Changan thought for a while, and then chose to tell Fei Chengqing about it.

But this time, he didn't need to be informed, and Fei Chengqing seemed to have received some news.

And, he gave useful information.

"A few days ago, you arrived at a cargo ship from the Eastern Continent at the Yangcheng dock."

Fei Chengqing, who was standing on the edge of the railing on the rooftop, looked at the night scene of Molong City and said truthfully.

Holding Xiao Phantom, letting the howling cold wind blow across his face, Li Changan showed doubts, "So what?"

It's not a big deal, is it?

Fei Chengqing turned around, his expression was rare serious, and he said seriously:

"The person who inspected the vessel took bribes and did not inspect the vessel properly. On that ship, in addition to the original staff, a group of pirates were mixed in, and we are still investigating which pirate gang it belongs to."

Li Changan didn't answer again, and chose to wait silently for Fei Chengqing's narration.

The little phantom in his arms couldn't help but prick up his ears.

Pirate?

It was the first time it had heard of pirates.

To be honest, it has never seen the sea, and the last time it was in the Yangcheng dockyard, it only saw a few corners, and it didn't see the real appearance of the sea.

It lives in the Tranquility Mimic Zone, and has long heard from other spirit beasts that the sea is very big, but it has no idea how big it is.

"That group of pirates should have been hired to escort several nobles with special status from the Eastern Continent's "Simus Empire" to the Western Continent, escorted them to Yangcheng, and entered the Donghong Kingdom."

Li Changan, who heard this, was stunned.

Himmus Empire......

Studying history, he was well aware of the existence of this empire.

According to historical descriptions, during the Fourth Age, the Kingdom of Tohiro, which was still in the reign of the second king, sent an ocean-going fleet to explore the unknown ocean regions to the east.

It is not the one who goes forward and succeeds a large number of excellent navigators

With slackening efforts, at the insistence of an excellent navigator named Bian Qifeng, their fleet, following the currents and storms, finally arrived at the Eastern Continent, a vast continent where most of the area was covered by primeval forests.

Then, just as Li Chang'an knew about the discovery of the continent in his previous life, the Donghong Kingdom sent a large number of soldiers and fleets into the Eastern Continent and occupied a large territory as a colony.

The Xiheng Kingdom and the Beiheng Kingdom, which heard the news, naturally would not let go of such an opportunity.

However, the Eastern Continent is not devoid of human beings, and even Soul Masters have long appeared, with their unique Soul Master system and their class system.

According to the speculation and judgment of some historians, the human beings on the eastern continent may have settled in the distant Second Age period.

In the end, because of the mutual restraint between the three kingdoms, the Bumushi Empire and the Ames Empire on the Eastern Continent, under the pressure brought by the outside world, merged into a unified empire, known as the Himmus Empire!

The goal of the Sims Empire has always been to drive the troops of the three kingdoms out of the Eastern Continent and completely liberate the entire Eastern Continent.

It's a pity.

Although the Himmus Empire was formed by the integration of the two empires, its overall strength was much weaker than any of the three kingdoms.

If it weren't for the fact that they were more familiar with the Eastern Continent as "natives", and the three kingdoms were wary of each other, perhaps they would have disappeared into the long river of history.

But the stalemate situation of the Great Kingdom of Dongda was slowly maintained.

Even in the Fifth Age, the king of the Donghong Kingdom is already the thirty-seventh, and the chaos in the Eastern Continent has not stopped.

Even in the last 100 years, there has been a tendency to become more and more chaotic.

Many outlaws who committed crimes in the Western Continent and in the territory of the three kings and could not survive tried their best to run to the Eastern Continent.

There, it was much more chaotic than the calm and stable environment of the Western Continent today.

In fact, in addition to these, what Li Changan paid the most attention to was that the people in the Eastern Continent had taller and stronger bodies than the humans in the Western Continent where he lived, most of them were blonde and blue-eyed, and their skin was whiter because of the lush cover of the primeval forests.

Unlike the Western Continent, most of the people in the Donghong Kingdom are black-haired, black-eyed and yellow-skinned, and although the people in Xiheng and Beiheng are slightly different from the people in the Donghong Kingdom, there is not much difference.

The people of the Eastern Continent are closer to the Europeans and Americans in the previous life that Li Changan knew.

This kind of colonization surprised him.

However, in this world where the Spirit Master is an important combat force, nothing is impossible.

In the perception of some historians, they think that the "natives" of the Eastern Continent are actually more similar to the legendary "elves", and suspect that in the ancient Second Age or even earlier, the habitat of the elves is likely to be in the Eastern Continent.

Putting away the knowledge that flashed in his mind, Li Changan said tentatively, "The Simus Empire and our Donghong Kingdom...... It doesn't seem like a very harmonious relationship, right?"

Fei Chengqing glanced at him and shrugged his shoulders, "Who knows? You have to understand that for those above, there are no eternal enemies, only absolute interests. If the interests are big enough, it is not impossible for Donghong and Beiheng to form an alliance." Z.br>

The Beiheng Kingdom has the worst relationship with the Donghong Kingdom.

Also.

Li Changan nodded secretly.

"According to my information, those Himmus people should have carried a special item, or maybe a utensil, or even a special spirit animal, and after entering Yangcheng, they continued to go deep into the hinterland of Donghong.

Then the people of Xiheng and Beiheng didn't know where to get the information, and they took the lead.

But after all, this is Donghong's hinterland, and their strong intelligence ability does not mean that they have strong combat ability, which alarmed the group of people, causing them to burrow into the dense forest on the way to Molong City."

After listening, Li Changan's expression was strange.

"And then they were caught by robbers?"

"Who knows."

Fei Chengqing rubbed his temples, "But they didn't come out again, maybe they hid with their unique ability to the forest, or they may have been caught by robbers."

Because of this incident, he has been very busy these days.

I don't know what the Himmus people brought into the Tohiro Kingdom, causing everyone to follow the shark that smelled fishy.

After all, anyone who is not a fool can see that the nobles of the Himmus people have ventured into the Donghong Kingdom and are definitely not here to travel.

What they carry with them is definitely not an ordinary thing.

The people in the upper echelons of the Tohiro Kingdom believed that no matter what they brought and what the purpose was, it was all a matter for the Tohong Kingdom.

After seeing the reaction of the Donghong Kingdom, the two kingdoms of Xiheng and Beiheng thought that Donghong and the Himmus had reached some special agreement, which might lead to a change in the situation in the Eastern Continent and cause them to suffer huge losses.

All of a sudden, the three kingdoms were at a stalemate.

At the same time, organizations such as the Astronomical Society, the Dragon Faith, the Tranquility Society, the Pale Scroll, and the Elemental Might are all at a stalemate with each other.

No one dares to do it first, but no one can sit idly by.

This eventually led to the current situation.

Banditry.

But anyone who had reached the strength of a fourth-order spirit master was watched by the hostile forces and did not dare to move.

In the end, the only ones who could be mobilized and dispatched were Li Changan and their group of free spirit masters, as well as some middle- and lower-level spirit masters of the major forces whose strength was relatively inconspicuous.

But the problem is.

These powerful spirit masters can't move, and the bandits around Molong City won't follow any rules.

Its leader is a powerful fourth-order spirit master who may enter the fifth order at any time, and there are many third-order spirit masters with outstanding abilities under his command.

Bandits?

the fart!

Besides, for the dense forest, they belong to a strange place that they don't know much about, but for the bandits, it is the place where they live.

Just go in, it's not that they go to suppress the bandits, but that they are being exterminated by the bandits.

Dishes delivered to your door.

"But you don't have to worry, aren't there three bandits around Molong City, they won't sit still. I even dare to pack a ticket, except for the "Hidden Forest", the "Thief" and "Starfire" must have been promised heavy profits to deal with the "Hidden Forest" in total."

As soon as he said this, Li Changan understood.

They don't know anything about the jungle.

But someone understands.

The three gangs of bandits eat each other's dogs, and the rest of the forces sit and collect the fishermen, which is a good way.

Immediately, Li Changan thought of it again.

No matter how much benefit the various organizations promised to the two groups of bandits, "Bandit" and "Starfire", when they found out that the things in the hands of the "Hidden Forest" were more valuable, they would definitely not be so obedient.

Therefore, it is necessary for their group of free spirit masters and the intervention of the middle and lower level spirit masters of the major forces.

After all, they are better controlled than bandits.

After figuring out the reason and the various twists and turns, Li Changan realized the strange equilibrium that Molong City was in now.

As long as you are careful, there is not much danger.

And because of the heavy profits promised by organizations such as the "Dragon Faith", the "Astronomical Society", and even the Tranquility Society, as long as he can obtain some results, he can earn benefits from the three sides.

Boy.

One fish and three eats.

Li Changan has already realized the benefits of mediating between great forces.

Of course, the premise is that some of his identities cannot be revealed.

Otherwise...... Being able to escape to the Eastern Continent may be his most ideal destination.

"What about you?" Li Changan couldn't help asking.

"We?" Fei Chengqing chuckled, "You don't have to think about it, we are almost cards that have been put on the surface, and we are seen deadly."

However, the Tranquility Society, the Pale Painted Scroll, and the Elemental Might stationed in Molong City have no effect if they move."

Li Changan nodded thoughtfully.

Fei Chengqing's attitude also illustrates the strange equilibrium of the current situation in Molong City.

"But don't worry. I won't hesitate when it's time to make a move, it's a big deal to flip the table." Fei Chengqing stretched his waist for a long time and put on a rogue posture.

Seeing his appearance, Li Changan couldn't help but smile.

Also, Fei Chengqing knows at a glance that he is not a very well-behaved person.

"Then I'll ...... Do you feel free to do it?"

Fei Chengqing Nunu mouthed, "Go ahead." It's better to find out what the Himmus are carrying, but it's still up to their own safety."

Li Changan nodded and patted Xiao Fan.

"Meow—"

At the same time as the inky phantom shrouded him, Xiao Phantom jumped out of his arms, and his size quickly increased.

"That's right." Fei Chengqing glanced at Xiao Huan, his eyebrows raised slightly, "You're almost the third order, right?"

"It should be soon, but who knows how long it will take?" Li Changan said without looking back.

"Meow!"

Little Phantom jumped out of the roof and landed lightly on the eaves of a moving and slightly lower building not far away.

Looking at their figures quickly disappearing into the night, Fei Chengqing smiled and shook his head, "The stinky boy grows up quite fast."

As he spoke, he stretched and looked up at the blue moon in the night sky.

"Finally have a normal person to communicate with, comfortable.......

...

Following.

Li Changan waved his hand, "Pay attention to yourself."

"Understood, Brother Qing."

The people around him walked slowly towards the dense woods in front of them.

This group of people, most of whom were recruited by Bai Chengjie, usually worked in the club, and occasionally went to the underground arena to participate in ring battles.

Since the last time the red moon alternated, Bai Chengjie and Wang Youshan set a trap and caught a few alive, he recruited a lot of people in the underground arena with heavy profits.

Although they were not as strict as when Li Changan was recruited before, most of them were second-order spirit masters and had good strength.

When the quantity reaches a certain level, it is still possible to bridge the gap between the quality.

However, Li Changan didn't know what information Bai Chengjie had obtained from those mouths.

But it can still be seen from his aggressive recruitment that it should not be good news.

The contradiction between the two brothers of the Bai family seems to be a little irreconcilable.

Putting away his chaotic thoughts, Li Changan looked at Kui Dou and nodded slightly.

"Bracket—"

Since it is a dense forest, Kaito can play its best role.

Fluttering Ridge –

Hearing this, Kuidou came back to his senses, and a large group of small birds of all colors that had been attracted by the "Word of Nature" around him flapped their wings and scattered.

Seeing this, Li Changan smiled.

With the "Whisper of Nature", they don't know the jungle as well as the bandits, at least they don't run around.

Kui Dou, who also followed Li Chang'an, waved his hand lightly, and a path leading to the secluded path immediately appeared in front of them.

Molong City was once the former capital of the ancient imperial dynasty, and there are not many woods around the city.

However, Molong City covers a large area, and after putting aside the surrounding distance, there is a large number of vast dense forest areas.

And the larger the woods and the deeper the dense forest, the stronger the wild spirit beasts that inhabit it, there is no doubt about it.

It is rumored that someone has seen the figure of a crown-level spirit beast in this dense forest.

There is no way to verify whether there is a specific one, but it also shows from the side that in such a dense forest, there are crises everywhere, and one accidentally stepped into the territory of a powerful spirit beast, or stepped into a group of territories similar to the tooth beast group, but

In the end, there will be no bones left.

This is also one of the reasons why many spirit masters can only take advantage of the red moon alternately to pick up cheap, and do not dare to go too deep into the forest.

And the bandits who are active in it are through their knowledge of these territories that many forces are helpless.

However, this is also the accumulation of a large number of lives by this group of bandits.

"Red feathers, golden tail feathers, black beaks, red gold pupils, and flames can appear in the mouth and body...... Is this the territory of the Red Feather Golden Feather?"

According to the information obtained by Kui Dou, combined with the information and materials that Li Changan had, they avoided the territory of one spirit beast clan after another.

The Red Feather Golden Feather is a spirit animal with the potential to be of the upper rank of the negative level.

The strength of a single one may not be very strong, but they are social creatures, and they often offend one, which will provoke dozens or even hundreds of red-feathered golden feathers, plus they are afraid of fire in the forest, and generally there are not many spirit beasts that dare to provoke them.

But.

Walking here, it also officially shows that Li Changan and Kui Dou have stepped into the real danger area in the dense forest.

Further in, the traces of activity of wild spirit animals will increase, and the traces of movement of wild animals will decrease.

The information they have access to will be reduced accordingly.

"Kuidou, be on alert." Li Changan blessed.

"Bracket."

Kui Dou solemnly nodded his huge head, and in his gray eyes, the veins of the entire forest seemed to be in his sight.

After carefully following the edge through the territory of the Red Feather Golden Feather Sparrow, he temporarily entered an area where he had no clear belonging.

Rustle –

As soon as he entered this area, he could clearly feel that the wild spirit beasts had become much more active.

"Huh?"

Li Changan suddenly squatted down.

Some of what appeared to be newly fallen leaves were removed, revealing several human footprints.

There are also some spirit animal footprints mixed in.

"Finally see the traces of their activity."

Li Changan's goal is simple.

Not to mention the bandits, find a few robbers, either catch them or dispose of them, and it will be considered a success in exchange for contributions.

"Bracket!!"

And at this moment, there was movement in the woods next to it.

Bang!!!

The trunk of a tree that was not too big was directly slapped by a sturdy bear paw.

Li Changan's face remained unchanged, but while he quickly took a step back, Kui Dou's broad body crossed in front of him.

"The Orderly Guardian Black Bear, the order attribute, the negative level of the high potential, the strength is probably around the eighth order of the negative level."

While seeing this huge black bear, Li Changan quickly got information in his heart.

"Roaring ——!!"

With a roar full of momentum, it instantly shook down a large number of forest leaves, waving a strong and powerful bear paw, carrying wisps of blue fine electricity.

"Kuidou, shield!"

In the face of this attack, Kuidou did not hesitate to meet him.

The fine wood debris was like a thin wooden snake that meandered along its body, quickly climbing up its body, and at great speed, on its raised arm, it gathered and condensed into a heavy wooden shield.

Bang!!

In an instant, sawdust splattered, and deep scratches with a charred black color appeared on the shield.
