Chapter 297 Resource Monopoly
In the prosperous era of the human race, the strength of the demon race is not weak, relying on its special cultivation system and harsh environment, it can resist the extreme suppression of the human race, even if many immortal dao powers encircle and suppress, it has not been able to really eliminate the invasion and infiltration of the demon race, and after the appearance of the Ten Thousand Souls List, as the human race gradually weakens, the demon race, which has lost its suppression and restraint, has become more and more infiltrated from all walks of life.
Especially in a chaotic place like the Abyss of Darkness, the demons have long been active in various regions, but after the rise of the demon race, the spirit race, the Yan clan and other powerful races are also vigilant against the demons, and secretly suppress them, which makes it difficult for the demons to have a clear gathering place like other races, of course, this is mainly because the demons don't like to stay outside, they will stay in the demon world more, and then infiltrate into the cultivation places of each race through special environments such as spatial cracks, and raid and plunder.
And for these spatial cracks, the demon clan and other races basically don't care, because the space of the too dark abyss is unstable, even if the seal eliminates the crack, there will be others popping up every once in a while.
Since Shen Ping established the True Treasure Pavilion, the Anjia caravan has been attacked by the demons a lot, but the raids are all at the level of some Jindan Yuanying demons, and sometimes there are demon cultivators in disguise, these things can be solved by the guest Qing in the pavilion alone, and he didn't take it to heart.
Therefore, after hearing An Zhiyuan's words, Shen Ping couldn't help but show a trace of surprise, "What, could it be that in recent days, the demon clan's harassment power has increased?" ”
An Zhiyuan nodded, "It has indeed increased, last time there were demon cultivators at the level of refining voids, and there were also powerful demon cultivators to help, if it weren't for a senior from Sword Seal City who happened to pass by, that caravan would have been completely gone." ”
"That senior suspects that the demon clan may be eyeing the True Treasure Pavilion, plus the demon clan has indeed been active recently, so that's why he has this proposal!"
Listen up.
Shen Ping was stunned, but he was still puzzled: "The demon cultivator has always been uncertain, except for accompanying the caravan, I'm afraid it is difficult to have any other way to deal with it!" ”
The demon attack is like fighting guerrillas, and they come a few times every three or five times, and their main purpose is to plunder the flesh and soul of the monks, and they are especially fond of Yuan Ying.
An Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "This subordinate doesn't know." ”
Deal with the demon monks.
There's really no such thing as a good way.
Even if you use special means to brand your whereabouts, you can only kill one or two, or it won't be long before others will appear again, and sometimes even if you only encounter a disguised demon cultivator, it is even more cunning.
In the past, the biggest headache for their caravan was to face the demon cultivators, there was no way, they could only rely on the formation and treasures to resist, the only fortunate thing was that the number of spatial cracks on this side of the gray stone city was not much, and the strength of the demon monks was not too strong.
But Sword Seal City is different, the place where this Xiuzhen City is located is no longer the edge of the Black Mist Jedi, but the hinterland of the Western District.
If it weren't for the demon race, the human race and the spirit race joining forces to suppress it, the demon race would have been flooded long ago.
I thought about it.
Shen Ping decided to go to Sword Seal City.
In any case, the caravan is the top priority of the current development of the True Treasure Pavilion, like the True Treasure Tower from all over the world, the reason why it can control every area is that it relies on the extremely fast transportation and transmission of powerful caravan resources.
From Greystone City to the Black Evil Valley and then to other remote markets or gathering places, it is less than two or three months in total, so the True Treasure Pavilion can quickly develop into a sub-pavilion, but the distance between Sword Seal City and Greystone City is relatively far.
Even if you use the magic weapon of the high-grade flying boat, it will take more than two months to go back and forth.
If you really don't care about it and let the demon monks loot and wreak havoc, then the True Treasure Pavilion will not want to gain a firm foothold in Sword Seal City, and there will be no way to talk about developing intelligence and controlling all kinds of information.
It's about your own life.
Shen Ping was naturally serious.
So the next day, he set off for Sword Seal City, and this time he also followed the caravan.
On the deck of a large flying boat.
The wind hunted and the hunting sound, blowing and vibrating on the edge of the flying boat, fluorescent.
Look at the scenery that keeps passing by on both sides.
Shen Ping's eyes were calm, but his divine sense was communicating with Shizun Lian Xuejin.
"In vain."
"The interests of the monks are of paramount importance, you must be extra vigilant when you go to Sword Seal City this time, although the Terran race is gradually declining, it does not mean that the Terran monks will work together with each other......
"Master, the apprentice understands."
He knew what the master meant.
The purpose of those Terran seniors in Sword Seal City may not be to deal with the attack of demon cultivators, maybe they just want to see him for this reason, after all, the True Treasure Pavilion is now a little famous in Sword Seal City, not to mention that it is not possible for anyone to kill Shi Hu at the level of refining void.
A month later.
The caravan members on the flying boat were visibly nervous.
See here.
An Zhiyuan explained: "In front of it is the Ten Thousand Cave Mountain, the demon monks often attack and disturb this area, it is said that there are several spatial cracks in the depths of the Ten Thousand Cave Mountain, and the predecessors of the sect in Sword Seal City have gone to investigate, but they have found nothing......
"The last time I met the Demon Clan's Void Refining Powerhouse, it was also here."
Shen Ping nodded secretly, his complexion did not fluctuate in the slightest, other monks were afraid of demon monks, but he would not, there were beast-shaped puppets and high-level beast spirit treasures in the ......
Rumble!
I'm thinking about it.
The flying boat suddenly shook violently.
An Zhiyuan's face changed, and his mana condensed voice rang out: "Demon attack!" Demon Attack! ”
Woohoo.
The hundreds of members of the caravan flashed around the deck in unison, and the mana on their bodies surged, and suddenly the entire flying boat's formation fluoresced light.
Boom!
At this time, more than a dozen black energy balls like flames in the mountains not far away all bombarded the flying boat, and the fluorescence shook out layers of ripples, and the flying boat also began to shake.
An Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "Pavilion Master, this is a tentative attack by the demon monks, if the flying boats can't even withstand this, they will rush over in a swarm, if they can withstand it, they will send strong people out to attack, but if they are defeated, they will flee immediately!" ”
Shen Ping squinted at the depths of the mountain range, and his divine sense quickly swept out, easily extending to the surface of the mountain range, only to see that it was bare as if it had been burned, and there were dense caves on the surface, and those black energy balls were blasted out of the caves.
As soon as his divine consciousness was about to penetrate along a black cave, he immediately frowned, and his divine consciousness was actually impregnated with a dark and evil energy.
This kind of energy is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, not only is it difficult to eliminate it instantly, but it also feels like the divine consciousness is being devoured and digested, which is very uncomfortable.
He hurriedly withdrew it, and then used the power of the dark golden strange beast in the dantian's body, which quickly eliminated this residual dark energy.
Bang bang bang!
The flying boat was constantly attacked, and it was enough to hold up half a cup of tea.
At the top of the mountain range, two powerful monks with demonic aura attacked from the left and right sides.
"It's a demon monk at the god level!"
"Activate the Great Array!"
An Zhiyuan's voice vibrate.
Dealing with the attack of the demon monks, the caravan had already experienced, with the mana and a large number of spirit stones pouring into the spiritual power, the spirit patterns carved on the edge of the flying boat continued to flicker, bursts of drums came out of these spirit patterns, and the Dao Dao spiritual light quickly enveloped the entire flying boat.
If you look at it from the outside, you will see that the aura mask looks like a fish drum.
"Pavilion Master, these Gods and Demon Clan monks will generally only attack Tea Time, and they can definitely hold it with the formation of the Flying Boat!"
Shen Ping couldn't help asking, "Why is this?" ”
An Zhiyuan replied: "The caravan that can withstand the attack of the god and demon clan monks, the strength is not low, even if they finally break through the formation defense, they will have to spend a lot of energy, and then fight with the caravan members, and consume more, which is more than worth the loss for them, of course, most of the cases are like ......this."
The two of them talked.
The Demon Monk's increased attack.
Compared to the human race and the spirit race, the Yan race, the feather race and other races.
The demons usually attack with a powerful body, and they are similar to the demon clan in this regard, but the demon clan will also use natural powers, and use magic weapons, etc., but the demons believe in their own bloodline body.
Little by little, time passed.
Shen Ping stood on the deck and watched quietly, and sure enough, as soon as the tea arrived, the two gods and demons saw that it was difficult to break through the defense of the flying boat's large array, and turned around and prepared to leave.
However, at this time.
A beast-shaped puppet burst out of the large array and leaped to the side of one of the demons at lightning speed, its hooves and claws stomping on.
The demon didn't even think about it, and it bombarded head-on.
Boom!
The huge force directly penetrated the body of this demon, and the energy containing the power of the strange beast quickly tore apart the demon.
Although the demon clan is stronger than the demon clan and the human race, in the face of a puppet of more than the sixth order, one mask will be seriously injured and fall, and the other demon clan will be shocked at first when he sees this scene, and then he will directly burn his blood and fight with the beast-shaped puppet.
Meantime.
The black energy balls of the mountain cave blasted out again, and the target was a beast-shaped puppet.
It's a pity that they don't know how terrible beast-shaped puppets are.
Just a few breaths.
The two gods and demons were completely killed.
"The recovery ability of the demons is extremely strong, but no matter how strong it is, it will take time......"
Shen Ping put away the two demon corpses and said indifferently.
An Zhiyuan, who was beside him, glanced at the beast-shaped puppet enviously, and nodded busily: "What the pavilion master said is right!" ”
"Let's go!"
Soon.
The flying boat flashed and swept past the Ten Thousand Caves Mountain in the direction of Sword Seal City.
The caves of Wanguo Mountain are very deep and extend in all directions, and it is more dangerous to go deep in a situation where it is difficult for the divine sense to penetrate and probe.
A few days later.
Sword Seal City has arrived.
Standing on the flying boat and looking at it from a distance, this Sword Seal City is like a wide Sword Seal Canyon, with steep peaks on both sides surrounding the city and spreading towards the depths, but compared to Qingyang City, Lanhai Immortal City and other places where Shen Ping once stayed in the five continents and four seas, the scale of this Sword Seal City is much smaller, but it is still the first Xiuzhen City near the edge of the black fog.
There is a forbidden sky array near the city.
The flying boat stopped early.
The caravan marched along the large stone path that had been built towards the tall city gates.
Along the way, you can see all kinds of creatures of all races coming and going in and out of the city gate, some of the demon tribes are walking with their bodies, and there are also wood tribes, etc., but their sizes are deliberately shrinking, and they are slightly larger than humans.
"Before the appearance of the Ten Thousand Souls List, although there were ethnic groups, the relatively vague Sword Seal City was mainly dominated by sects and family forces, and other ethnic groups were also attached to the sects and families, but after the Ten Thousand Souls List, the separation between the ethnic groups became more and more obvious, but after all, the monks were strong and weak, although the human race was lonely, the strength of the sect and the various families in Sword Seal City was still very strong, and at present, only the demon clan and the spirit clan could compete with it......
Shen Ping listened to An Zhiyuan's introduction, and couldn't help but say: "The strength of the predecessors of Sword Seal City is not weak, if you take care of Gray Stone City and other places a little, it shouldn't be difficult, right?" ”
What he meant was that an incarnate monk like An Zhiyuan would not struggle to survive among the clans if he joined the sect or relied on the protection of the family's vassals.
An Zhiyuan sighed helplessly, "This was true in the early years, but in the past few thousand years, the sects near Sword Seal City, as well as the families, have continued to shrink their power, the reason is that the lifespan of some of the combined seniors is short, and the demon clan and the spirit clan are becoming more and more powerful. ”
"As long as the fighting method is more or less affected by its own foundation, once it is seriously injured, it will also lose its lifespan, so gradually the combined predecessors are almost all closed, and they will not show up easily, the Jing family of Gray Stone City is actually attached to the Yun family of Sword Seal City, but you have also seen it, the Jing family was destroyed by the Shi Hu clan, and the Yun family did not come out!"
Shen Ping was silent.
It is obvious that the sect and family forces of Sword Seal City are all protecting themselves, because everyone knows that the strength of the demon clan, spirit clan, Yan clan, Yu clan and other races is improving, in this case, only self-preservation is the best way.
It didn't take long.
The caravan entered the branch of the True Treasure Pavilion.
The station is not large.
After all, this is Sword Seal City, which can be said to be an inch of land, and even the nearby sects and families are difficult to occupy much land in the city.
"Pavilion Master, you can rest for the time being, and I'll go and contact that senior!"
It's late afternoon.
An Zhiyuan came back, and he arched his hand and said, "That senior will come to my True Treasure Pavilion in person the day after tomorrow." ”
"Okay."
Next.
Shen Ping did not meditate in the branch shop, but wandered around with An Zhiyuan, there are only three main streets in the entire Sword Seal City, and there are many shops on both sides of the street, and the whole is no different from the Xiuzhen City in all over the world, the only difference is that there are many types of shop styles, like the shops of the flower clan monks, they are completely a flower.
Except for the shops.
Spring House Song Fang and so on are also everything.
However, Shen Ping and An Zhiyuan were not interested, and the shops they visited were mainly Dan Pavilion, utensils shops and other places that sold goods and resources.
Just a few laps around.
Didn't see any good item materials.
"Pavilion Master, generally those who sell materials below the sixth order, and those of the sixth order and beyond the sixth order can only be encountered at auctions...... The same is true for our True Treasure Pavilion in Sword Seal City. ”
Shen Ping knew that this was a resource monopoly.
The same is true in the five continents and four seas, if the Avatar Monk wants to improve, he can only go to the Middle Saint Continent, and here, the Avatar Monk can only obtain the resources to improve his cultivation at the auction.
Stroll until noon.
Shen Ping was not interested, and returned to the True Treasure Pavilion to meditate.
