Shenjiao City is located on the border of the Seven Towers Federation, and the town of Snakehead was founded during the Pioneer War more than twenty years ago, although the surrounding boundaries have been developed.

But the danger is never really eliminated, and it is often attacked by spirit beasts.

With the recommendation form, Duke boarded the Faling Society's car.

This is a special airline car commonly known as the "black beetle", shaped like a beetle the size of several houses, with a thick smoke pipe erected on the front of the car, and when it is ready to depart, the pipe will emit continuous black smoke.

Similar to the black smoke coming out of a factory chimney, it is caused by the burning of spiritual slag.

Factories and cars, which consume large spiritual energy, rely on spiritual storage cards to supply energy, and the price is seriously not cost-effective, and burning low-cost spiritual slag is the normal operation.

As for pollution.

Black smoke is the romance of the Industrial Revolution.

"Woooooo

The black beetle car whistled, and the black smoke from the smoke pipe quickly intensified, and then several solid tires the size of a millstone slowly turned, running over the gravel paved road, and heading out of the town.

Duke sat by the car window, looking at the town that was fading away.

Serpent's Head Town is said to be a small town, but in fact it is not much different from a small county town, with 70,000 or 80,000 people living in it, and many people, including Duke, have never left here.

This time.

It was the first time he had left Snake Head Town and headed for Shenjiao City.

The Black Beetle was not very fast, and the carriage was very bumpy, with no highways or even asphalt roads, and all roads were gravel.

This type of road is also known as a shipping route.

Because in areas far away from towns, spirituality inspires all things, and even if humans clear them over and over again, there are still countless spirit beasts lurking, destroying roads and attacking convoys.

Every time you go out, it's like an unknown voyage.

Bang, clang.

The body suddenly jolted violently, and he almost didn't bounce Duke up.

Someone in the carriage shouted: "Can you drive, don't you know how to detour if there is a pit!" ”

Soon a flight attendant came over and explained: "I'm sorry everyone, the road ahead should have been damaged by digging insects, and the whole area is ......."

Before the words fell, the body jolted violently again, and the flight attendant hurriedly grabbed the handrail to make sure that she didn't fall, and after waiting until it was stable, she continued to explain: "The whole road has been dug up, and the patrol road repair team has not had time to repair it, so please sit tight first, and wait until you cross this bad road." ”

"Damn digging bugs!"

"When I go out hunting, I must slaughter a few more digging insects!"

The passengers complained, cursing the 0-ringed spirit beast Digger Worm, a cockroach-like but larger than a cat, roaming in groups in the wild.

It took a while for the black beetle car to settle down.

It wasn't long before Duke could see through the window that the car had passed another town, and that it would be four more towns before it could reach its final destination.

After stopping for a while, some people got out of the car and some people got in.

Soon they set out again, leaving the market town, leaving the farmland, and driving into the wilderness.

Duke looked greedily out the window, it was full of exoticism compared to the earth, strange plants made him dizzy, and occasionally he could see strange beasts.

Suddenly.

The black beetle cart stopped.

"Please be calm, don't open the window casually, there are a few spirit beasts blocking the road, and the big rider with the car has already gotten out of the car to drive away." The flight attendant smiled and reassured the crowd, which was commonplace for her.

Duke didn't stay in his seat.

He, like everyone else, ran to the window near the front of the car and looked out to join in the fun.

But I saw two big knights in armor confronting several black spirit beasts that looked like leopards and wolves, each of which was the size of a calf.

"It's a ring of spirit beasts skinny cheeked black panthers, there are only six, not enough for two big knights to fight." One passenger said lightly.

The confrontation lasted no more than three minutes.

One of the great knights suddenly moved, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in one hand, and slammed forward into the thin-cheeked black panther, and then swept around with a sword in one hand, slashing out a circular sword light.

The other Grand Knight strode forward slowly, keeping the skinny panther in the face.

One main attack, one threat.

The six thin-cheeked black panthers dodged and grinned at the same time, as if they were about to move, but they were still mainly dodging, and did not attack the two big knights.

And soon, one of the skinny-cheeked panthers simply slipped away.

The remaining skinny-cheeked panther hissed a few times and slipped away.

A spirit beast attack came to an end in a hurry, and the two great knights laughed at each other and returned to the black beetle cart, black smoke billowing up, and the cart continued to run over the gravel road.

Duke, who returned to his seat, was a little unsatisfied with the brief battle just now.

"That sword ray, it should be the fighting spirit of the great knight." He thought that his predecessor had taken the blood boiling potion, hoping to open the sea of blood and thus obtain the knightly cultivation talent.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

"Speaking of which, whether it is the sea of blood or the sea of qi, they have all been incorporated into the spiritual arcane system, and they are recognized as branches of the spiritual sea, and they are also a place where spirits gather."

In his mind, he communicated with Xiao Yi with his thoughts: "Xiao Yi, you say, do I still have the possibility of opening the sea of blood and the sea of qi?" ”

"Xiaoyi lacks relevant information, so I can't calculate the possibility for the time being."

"Okay."

Duke reluctantly gave up thinking.

He was only a fifteen-year-old orphan at the moment, who had just crossed the threshold of cultivation with one foot, and knew nothing about the true cultivation of the Three Seas.

……

Half a day later.

Shenjiao City is in sight.

The first thing that caught Duke's eye was the billowing black smoke from the countless chimneys, but when the black smoke rose to a certain height, it seemed like a constant wind, blowing the black smoke out of the city.

"It's supposed to be a constant of arcane related to the wind."

The black beetle car drove into the station, bustling with special cars for various special routes, Duke got off the train and walked out of the station with the crowd, and then saw a tram bus passing by the street.

He hurriedly grabbed his bag and ran to the nearby bus stop.

Although it was the first time he came to the big city, he had already asked Old Sam about the details of clothing, food, housing and transportation in the big city.

"How many buses do you take to Faling Pagoda?" He asked a middle-aged woman that there was no line sign on the platform, only a sign that read "West Station".

"Faling Pagoda, it seems to be seventeen roads." The middle-aged woman said, and asked her companion, "Yes, you can go to the Faling Pagoda on the seventeenth road, right?" ”

"That's right."

"Thank you." Duke expressed his gratitude.

Bus No. 17 is ticketed, and it takes 5 copper dragons to get to Falingta Station, which is obviously not cheap, and it is much more expensive than taking an ordinary rickshaw.

But Duke had money, so he wanted to try something new.

The tram buses are very stable, but the process of moving is exciting, with pedestrians, beast-pulled carts, and trucks almost ignoring the traffic rules, and rampage and needles.

Fortunately, the speed of the car is not fast, and it can't kill anyone if it hits.

"Messy, dirty...... But it's alive and well. Duke thought to himself.
