Chapter 55: Interception (2nd Watch)
Under Xia Jiang's instructions, the convoy stayed for three days less than ten kilometers into this wild land, and only today finally began to move forward. However, compared to three days ago, almost everyone's mood is different.
Shi Feng, the general team originally sent by the king to follow Xia Jiang, after these three days, the title of Xia Jiang was changed from "young master" to "master", from the impression of an ignorant young man to the future leader, and he was completely convinced of him.
And the original deputy team was also sincerely frightened because of Xia Jiang's strength and Shi Feng's change in attitude, and felt that Xia Jiang, a teenager, could really make a career in his new territory. Originally, everyone thought it was unwise to go to a new territory, and for cultivators like them, who regarded their cultivation as more important than anything else, it would do no good to go there.
Besides, those subordinates were even more different, originally they also thought that the long journey to a tattered territory was a punishment for the king's suspicion that they had nothing to do on weekdays, but now it seems that it is simply a fat difference, in only three days, they cooperated with the joint efforts of the headquarters and the master, and hunted nearly fifty blood-eyed bulls, seven or eight double-cultivation blood-eyed bulls, and more than twenty other beasts, these numbers mean that each of them can be rewarded with the equivalent of several years of salary.
Not only that, but after the past few days, everyone's strength has improved a lot.
Then there are those people in Xia Jiangyuan's Nine Kings Mansion, because Xia Jiang's status has risen invisibly, those civil and military officials are polite to them, and even Xianzhu, the little housekeeper, goes to count the harvest of the past few days, or those captains personally supervise the cooperation of their subordinates.
And Xia Jiang himself, not to mention, was very fortunate to be able to complete his goal in three days, especially to see Ziqi, a naughty princess, cultivate with peace of mind.
It's just that what made him a little depressed next, and I don't know if it was because of the damn immortal blood flies, the next trip of the convoy was smooth sailing, and he couldn't even touch a brute beast on the road, at most he encountered a few fierce beasts and roared a few times, and they all fled when they saw the convoy lineup.
"Master, Princess Ziqi has been concentrating on cultivation for the past few days, it seems that she has changed, if the king knows, he will definitely praise you. "One night camping, seeing that Xia Jiang seemed to be idle and bored outside, the deputy team stepped forward with a smile and said.
"Well, that's it......" Xia Jiang saw that he was a deputy team, nodded, and thought in his heart: "When I get there, I can speak with strength, and the fifteenth princess can slightly represent the image of my princess of Xia Kingdom, which is also good for stability and management." ”
"After a special test by her subordinates, Princess Ziqi's bloodline fit has reached 'seven', and in only five or six days, it has improved a little!" said the deputy team, who also seemed to feel very pleased.
Xia Jiang was also a little surprised by the huge change of the fifteenth princess, but at this moment, he began to care more about the new territory, and couldn't help asking: "By the way, how much does the deputy team know about some things about the new territory?......
Originally, Xia Jiang had no accident to practice in his own house, but in the process of practicing, he found that his perception naturally improved, and he couldn't help but think of Xia Yun'er, who actually missed the girl with hatred in his heart, and came out for a walk for a while, and he couldn't help but wonder if he had something else to mean to this cultivator.
In his previous life, he had a hazy love experience, but he died because of a betrayal, thinking about it is nothing more than meeting the wrong person at the right time, such a woman is not worth nostalgia, and now this world is even more cruel than that world, because the cultivation of the bloodline will expand people's desires, and for the sake of practice and the future, love is an endless luxury for the weak.
“...... Let's just go with the flow......" Putting aside what Xia Yun'er was thinking in his mind, Xia Jiang sighed secretly and entered the meditation again.
After two days of calm, the convoy finally left the wild land, and then spent a little bit of spar to cross two long rivers in a row, here, there are more and more pedestrians, cars and horses, and then there is no hindrance, it has a large number of spars given by his father, which is enough for him to spend a few laps around the entire Xia Kingdom, not to mention the harvest in the wild land?
However, Xia Jiang was not ready to sell those brute beast crystals, which could be of great help to the growth of his Demon Devouring Sword Technique, and the most important thing was that they were still new territories, and they would definitely not be able to buy super refining materials here.
It took a total of eight days, and the convoy finally came to the edge of the new territory, and Xia Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, it doesn't feel very good...... "Xia Jiang had a very bad feeling when he came to the edge of the new territory, and it can be said that at this time he completely understood why everyone didn't expect to come here at first.
"Master, this place has been war-torn for a long time, and the smell of blood and fire is everywhere, not only dilapidated, but also more backward, after entering, whether it is food, clothing, housing and transportation, you will not be used to it, especially cultivation, originally their king bought materials from our Xia Kingdom, so ......" Shi Feng saw that Xia Jiang seemed disappointed with the scene in front of him, so he explained loudly.
Xia Jiang shook his head indifferently when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm not here to enjoy it, let's go." ”
After all, the new territory is a country, the scope is huge, Xia Jiang naturally can't occupy too much, the king according to the mansion he contributed, as well as his recent good appearance, gave him the closest piece of territory, after the description of the deputy captain that day, it was an ancient city called "Guadu", which used to be the trading center of several nearby large countries, and once prospered more than the high-ranking towns of his Xia Kingdom, but there were wars repeatedly, and now there is no one in ten, and the civilian class does not talk about cultivation, and even survival is very problematic.
The most important thing is that it is said that there is now a mixture of military and civilian people, half of whom have formed several major forces to restrain each other, and half of whom are mixed in with these major forces to be bullied or so-called to survive under protection.
But although this place is now a lot of people, but it is not useless, after all, this is known as the "Holy Land of Food Cultivation" of the ancient city, here is rich in some special melons and fruits, which are not only magic weapons, but also delicious and edible, so there have always been many food brewers, commonly known as "melon masters", they can make these melons and fruits into a variety of incomparably delicious food, not only to fill the stomach, but also to continuously improve the cultivation, and is also a refining material, almost omnipotent.
Xia Jiang had heard of it a little, so it was a big comfort to him who had originally arrived with a great responsibility for management.
Brush Brush Brush ......
At this moment, the convoy had just entered a few miles of the new territory, and on the way, a hundred or so people suddenly rushed out from the surrounding shadows and blocked the way.
was suddenly intercepted, the cars and horses neighed and creaked, and Xia Jiang had to stop.
"Who are you, and why are you blocking our way?" Seeing this, Captain Shi Feng's gaze immediately became fierce and swept around.
These people who suddenly came out were all holding magic weapons for killing, although they were all so low-level that they couldn't be lower-level, but their lethality was not comparable to ordinary weapons made of ordinary steel.
"Block the way, don't you know whose territory this is? This is the territory of Prince Bashi's general, General Bibimu!" said a young man who looked like a weak scholar and held a thick ink pen.
"Prince Bashi?" Xia Jiang frowned slightly.
"Prince Bashi, that is, a son of the king of Shiguo, who no longer exists, has the highest cultivation among several princes, but he is not good at leading troops and has been defeated repeatedly. Shi Feng on the side seemed to have heard of this prince, and immediately explained it to Xia Jiang.
As soon as he finished explaining, Shi Feng immediately shouted: "Haven't your Shi Kingdom already surrendered? Now this place is under the jurisdiction of our Xia Kingdom, and you still don't kneel when you see the prince?" Compared with these chaotic teams around him, Shi Feng's golden and righteous temperament is like a heavenly general, and his momentum is invisibly oppressive.
Sure enough, under Shi Feng's scolding, the surrounding crowd suddenly retreated a lot, and the young man who was holding the pen also changed his expression greatly, and his eyes immediately turned to Xia Jiang beside Shi Feng.
"Hahahaha!" When the young man saw Xia Jiang, who had become the new prince, he laughed out loud and said, "What kind of bullshit prince, who did I think it was? It's just a hairy boy who is not as big as Lao Tzu!"
Xia Jiang looked at the young man who was not a few years older than himself, and his cultivation was not high, and his tone was not small, so he was puzzled, presumably it was also the average national cultivation in this country, so he felt confident.
"Why, don't you dare to speak?" The young man saw that the so-called prince was silent, thinking that the other party was afraid, and then seeing that the mount under his crotch was just a low-level horse, he seemed to be confident greatly, and suddenly shouted: "Listen, no matter who you are, when you come to our territory of General Vivimu, you must hand over half of your weapons and magic weapons, otherwise you don't even think about it!"
The weapon magic weapon, that is, the magic weapon specially used for combat and killing, Xia Jiang understands, but he is not interested in this, what interests him is that he wants to meet the prince Bashi who has a high cultivation but will not lead troops to fight for a while.
Shi Feng's face on the side turned dark, and he was about to say something, but he was stopped by Xia Jiang raising his hand, Xia Jiang opened his mouth and said: "Our magic weapons are all relied on by our respective cultivation, why don't we do this, let's give you the beast crystals of a few double cultivation blood-eyed brute bulls that we hunted on the way, how about you let us go?"
Speaking of the Double Cultivation Bloody Eye Bull, before Xia Jiang relied on the restraint of the exercises, he killed more than a dozen Bloody Eye Bulls by himself, and those undead blood flies were even more light and tortured, but what he didn't expect was that the Double Cultivation Bloody Eye Bull was so strong, the blood eye devouring power could actually be cultivated to all parts of the body, and the saliva of the immortal blood flies could be absorbed and dissolved by him, and it could not be fully corroded, and the body of the King Kong iron bone could perfectly resist the death needle puncture of the blood fly, this kind of storage zài, which was obviously one level higher, made Xia Jiang have to join forces with a few captains to find a way to restrain himself, but in the end, he only hunted seven or eight heads。
Obviously, Xia Jiang deliberately said the Double Cultivation Bloody Eyes Barbarian Bull at this time, and his intention was quite obvious, he wanted to make these bandits who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth retreat.
