Chapter 81: I Have a Friend......
Three days later, outside the city of Wangshan.
A middle-aged man wearing a hat and a cloak came to the outside of Wangshan City with a one-man tall straw basket on his back.
As a gathering place established by herb pickers, hunters, and treasure hunters, after so many years of development, Wangshan City has finally had a bit of glory.
- The premise is to ignore the various shacks under the walls of Wangshan Castle.
The materials and shapes of these shacks are different, and the only thing that can be called a common denominator is ......
Shabby.
The owners of these humble shacks may have lived in them for decades before finally saving enough money to move into Wangshan Castle, or they may have simply left the area.
Of course, it is more likely that they had only set up their shacks the day before, and died in the Falling Dragon Mountains on the second or third day.
Because of this, the number of shacks outside Wangshan City is much larger than the number of residents in it.
Under the cold, numb, or wary gaze of the shack, the middle-aged man bypassed several main shacks with wooden signs at the door, and walked silently to the depths of the shack area.
After finally finding a fairly intact shack, the middle-aged man bent down and went in with a straw basket on his back.
"Squeak, bang!"
After snapping the broken wooden door from the shack into the door frame, the middle-aged man untied the straw basket from behind his back and put his hand inside.
"Tap! Tap! I'm going to be pulled by your hair...... Woooooo β
"Shh
Stretching out a finger in front of his mouth, Mo Yu, who was disguised as a middle-aged man, made a "silence" gesture, and waited until Yuan Hua nodded before he let go of his hand.
Stretching his neck and looking at the surrounding environment, Yuan Hua frowned slightly and said in a low voice:
"I rented a room for a long time in the best inn in Nandou City, we can live directly in it, why do you want to come here?
If you don't have spirit stones to pay the entrance fee, I can borrow you. β
Hearing this, Mo Yu sighed helplessly, looked at Yuan Hua with the eyes of "mentally retarded", and said helplessly:
"Didn't you say that the demon cultivators in the Wind and Sand Realm are making people sacrifice?"
"It's a human blood sacrifice, not a sacrifice, thank you."
Resisting the urge to slap Yuan Hua to death, Mo Yu gritted his teeth and said:
"I'm not kidding you, be serious!"
Seeing this, Yuan Hua straightened his face, nodded and said:
"Uh...... There is indeed such a thing. β
"Is it large?"
"It's huge."
"So you haven't thought about it, there is no shop in front of the village and no shop in the wind and sand world, where did they get so many living people?
The convoy of the Dragon Palace caravan is already considered a large convoy, and there are only thirty-five people counting me, how many such convoys do these demon cultivators have to intercept to make up enough people to sacrifice? β
Hearing Mo Yu say this, Yuan Hua gradually reacted:
"Is there only so many people in a convoy? Shouldn't there be a lot of people in the business? β
"Labor doesn't want money?
I can tell you with great certainty that there are very few convoys of more than 30 people like the Dragon Palace Chamber of Commerce, and most of the convoys only have a dozen people, or even less than ten people. β
"Hissββββ"
After receiving the reply, Yuan Hua gasped and finally turned the corner:
"You mean, Nandou City is quietly providing the population for sacrifice to the Demon Cultivators?"
"Or else? The mortality rate of entering the Falling Dragon Mountain Range is already high, and no one will find out if it is a little higher.
Although this is just my speculation, it should be very close to reality. β
Hearing this, Yuan Hua nodded, frowned and fell into thought.
After a few breaths, he raised his head and asked:
"What are you going to do next?
If we don't go into the city, we won't be able to communicate with the outside world; If you enter the city, you may be spotted by the eyes of the demon cultivator. β
Faced with this question, Mo Yu shrugged helplessly:
"I can adjust my breath, and there is no problem going into the city, but it's not easy to use the communication array.
If my speculation is true, the communication array in Nandou City must have been controlled by the forces of the Demon Cultivators.
If the situation is a little worse, there may even be a Demon Cultivator in the Yuan Infant Stage in Nandou City waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net.
Thanks to the Demon Slaying Order, when destroying the Heavenly Golem, the demon poison on your body was purified by the way, otherwise we might have fallen into the hands of the Demon Cultivator. β
Speaking of this, Mo Yu paused slightly:
"I think the best way is to wait for you to regain your strength, and then let's go through the Falling Dragon Mountain Range, go to the Tianxuan Northern Region, and pass on the information to the outside world."
Hearing this, Yuan Hua began to calculate:
"It will take about four days to cross the Falling Dragon Mountain Range with all the strength of the Divine Talisman, and it will take nearly a day to reach Yishan City, which is five days.
I can only absorb the aura of the outside world now, and if I want to fully recover my strength, it will take at least ten days, but if I only recover to ninety, it should be enough for ten days.
Counting the travel time, it's almost fifteen days.
Hmmm......"
Seeing that Yuan Hua was deep in thought again, Mo Yu opened his mouth and asked:
"You destroyed an altar of sacrifice, and I destroyed a celestial golem.
Demon cultivation is now equivalent to only building eight sacrificial altars, and activating six heavenly golems, so it should be in time. β
At this moment, Yuan Hua finally raised his head:
"To be honest, time is still a bit tight.
Mo Yu, can you find a way to help me go to the city to buy some materials, I can make some potions to treat the sequelae of demon poison by myself.
I lost all the pills and potions before I brought them.
In this way, it should be possible to grab about three days. β
Hearing this, Mo Yu also nodded:
"You give me a list of materials, and I'll go into the city later."
- He and Yuan Hua are now grasshoppers on a rope, and it is of course a good thing that the other party can recover his strength as soon as possible.
"Good! I said, you remember.
I want bone spirit grass, Xuanfang rehmannia, Chiling flower ......"
Halfway through speaking, Mo Yu suddenly stretched out a hand:
"Wait!"
As he spoke, he probed his mind to the Qiankun Ring:
"Bone Spirit Grass, Xuanfang Rehmannia, Chiling Flower ......"
As soon as the words fell, he raised his hand, and these three medicinal materials were put aside by him.
After carefully looking at the medicinal materials on the ground and confirming that these three things were fine, Yuan Hua stumbled and continued:
"Tranquility?"
"Yes."
"Breitling gastrodia?"
"Yes."
"I might need a little bit of black water.
This thing is not very easy to sell, if you can't buy it, you can use the Moon Yin Spring instead. β
"No need to replace it, I have this thing too."
As he spoke, Mo Yu took out a few jade bottles from the Qiankun ring.
After rummaging for a while, he picked out the jade bottle containing the black Xuanshui and brought it to Yuan Hua:
"Do you think that's enough?"
Seeing that Mo Yu magically turned out one material after another, and finally even took out a bottle of black Xuanshui, Yuan Hua was already shocked and couldn't speak:
"You...... Are you really a casual cultivator? β
"Of course! It's all one of my ...... Belch...... A friend gave it to me! β
