Chapter 69: The Forest of the Castle
Wuyue Kingdom is only a small and medium-sized country in the Eastern Continent, and its national history of three hundred years is really not very long, so its national background is indeed a little worse than that of some neighboring countries.
Although the royal family has built strong troops on the border to restrict the entry of expedition teams from various countries, the millions of troops plus a few offerings to the Three Immortal Realms are only enough to screen some mid-to-high-strength teams, and for those many guilds and expeditions whose strength is below the Yuandan Realm, the royal family can only adopt a policy of letting them go.
And for those strong people above the Divine Gate Realm, even if there is an order from above, even the army does not dare to offend, so they have to turn a blind eye and let them pass. Fortunately, there are not many teams with such strength, and the desert ancient city is so big, as long as it doesn't run into it at that time.
Therefore, among the hundreds of thousands of expedition teams, in addition to the warriors in the Wuyue Kingdom, there are actually more groups from neighboring countries. The strength of each group is very different, there are huge guilds of hundreds or thousands of people, there are also small expeditions of a few people, there are Xinding who has just passed the foundation, and there are also hidden masters of the human fairyland.
Although it has lost the barrier of the Great Protector Array to isolate the heat from the outside world, the forest area around the ancient city of the concubine king is vast, and it still maintains abundant moisture, and the rainforest is dense everywhere, and the giant trees are towering to the sky, which is full of vitality.
After a round of charge, the hundreds of thousands of menacing crowds were digested by the forests around the ancient city. Everyone flew through the dense forest with their own skills, trying to quickly cross the area and enter the real city limits.
Although the trees were tall and blocked the view, the huge blue-black pillars could be seen everywhere, so everyone could almost say that they were crossing in a straight line. However, it is natural that many people will enter the dangerous places in the forest and be attacked by powerful beasts.
Due to the existence of drought fish, these fierce beasts and birds of prey have not dared to enter the ancient city of the concubine king for tens of thousands of years. But in this outer forest, they are the overlords, how can they tolerate humans invading their territory so unscrupulously?
A large Dangkang, four or five feet tall and in the shape of a wild boar, had just calmed down because of the passing of the storm, and was disturbed by the crowd, and angrily ran amok with the fangs more than three feet long, and picked off a group of people who had unfortunately broken into his territory.
Some of the weaker teams chose to take a detour, but some of the larger guilds, carried away by the fanaticism, began to organize themselves to hunt down Dangkang. Because when Yasumoto was transformed by the aura of the mountains, I don't know how many years it would take for such a big head to be formed.
Dangkang's sausages can be made into delicacies, transformed into pure vitality to help warriors improve their skills, its fur is so hard that it can be made into leather armor, and its sharp fangs are a must for some high-quality weapons. Not to mention, if you can find the flesh crystal of the alien beast in its brain, it can directly make a lot of money.
This "Great Boar", which can be said to be full of treasures, is extremely difficult to find in the outside world, and it is said that Dangkang is a relatively easy species to deal with among foreign beasts in addition to brute strength and thick skin, so those guilds with a large number of people will naturally not miss such an opportunity.
The encirclement composed of two guilds of four or five hundred people, a total of 1,000 people, gradually formed, and everyone grinned and rubbed the weapons in their hands, looking at the desperate Dang Kang proudly, but they didn't expect to encounter such a benefit as soon as they entered.
However, they still underestimated this forest, which had been isolated from the world in the Great Array and had grown independently for thousands of years.
I saw that Dang Kang, who was besieged in the center, roared wildly with red eyes, kicked his front hooves vigorously, and the earth shook! His figure soared three or four times at once under the stunned eyes of everyone, and the hair on his body turned fiery red, and his roots were as sharp as iron spears, and more than a dozen Dangkang heads four or five feet tall actually broke in around the crowd!
Unexpectedly, this Dangkang, which is difficult to find in the outside world, is actually a strange beast living in groups here, and the "wild boar" who is surrounded by everyone is the leader of this group of Dangkang!
Those guild members who were originally proud were suddenly frightened by this change and fled in all directions, but when Kang's speed was extremely fast, hundreds of warriors who couldn't dodge were immediately trampled under the feet of this group of dangkang!
Not only here, but the crowd had not entered the forest for half an hour, and countless frightened and painful cries were heard in many places, obviously those weaker warriors were ruthlessly bitten and killed by the powerful beasts in the forest.
After an hour, the people finally cooled down from the frenzy, and began to know how to restrain their breath in the jungle, try to avoid the territory of those powerful beasts, and advance slowly and carefully. The fur of those strange beasts, though precious, was not something they could touch.
However, in the tranquility of the forest, I don't know how many dangers lurk, and nature began to show its fangs to humans.
A team of 100 men cautiously walked to a col with a backdrop to the sun, and saw that there was no trace of any strange beast nearby, so they wanted to pass through here. But halfway through, he found that his feet were full of the white bones of strange beasts, and there was an acidic white mist around him.
Everyone suddenly felt a palpitation, their cold hair stood on end, and they subconsciously used their vitality to protect their bodies, wanting to return from the same way. Suddenly, countless wrist-thick vine roots stretched out from the dirt of the col and wrapped around everyone's bodies!
The end of the vine root has a small sucker, which clings tightly to the surface of people's bodies, and begins to greedily allow the yuan power that emanates from it. People began to swing their knives in horror to cut through the vine roots that were wrapped around them, trying to break free from them.
But from the severed vine roots, a blood-red acidic liquid spewed out, sticking to the people's bodies, and quickly corroding their flesh, and the acid mist in the col became thicker. The cries of fear and despair could be heard for miles, but in less than a quarter of an hour they had regained their calm.
The lone warrior of a one-man fairyland witnessed everything in the sky, but fortunately, after his strength reached the human fairyland, he could walk in the sky, and the dense forest on the ground was full of dangers, so he chose to pass quickly from the air. Although this is more energy-consuming, it is better than that on the ground.
The warrior grimly watched as the expedition party was submerged in the col, and he did not feel the slightest pity for this scene. On the contrary, the more people are consumed in this forest, the fewer people come to share the treasures of the ancient city with him.
"Hmph, it saves me a lot of effort. ”
The warrior glanced at the col again, snorted coldly, and turned to continue towards the ancient city. Suddenly, he felt a numb scalp and a sense of danger arose, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, his body jerked sideways to the left!
"Chirp!"
A gust of wind with a deafening roar passed over his head, and a huge Gu Eagle with wings spread swooped down and passed by it!
The Gu eagle is shaped like an eagle, but there is a blue-gray horn on its head, and there is a trace of dragon blood in its blood, although it is not pure, it is also a fifth-level demon beast, and its strength is comparable to the existence of a Heavenly Immortal Realm martial artist.
Although this kind of Gu eagle is not highly intelligent, it is extremely ferocious, and it likes human flesh the most, and it has long been hunted and killed by humans in the outside world, but I didn't expect to encounter one here. The warrior secretly complained to himself, saying in his heart that he really shouldn't have said that people were not behind his back just now, but now it was too late, so he had to fight with his sword and use all his strength to fight against it!
In this sky, it was the territory of the Gu Eagle, and what was in front of it was a long-lost human meat feast, so it naturally wouldn't let it go easily. For a while, a fierce battle broke out in the sky, and countless sword qi practices swept out, and the wings as hard as steel were hard together.
I have to say that this martial artist really has some ability, with his martial arts, he can actually use the strength of the peak of the human fairy realm to fight a tie with the fifth-level demon beast Gu Eagle, just when he wants to use his strongest martial arts to kill the Gu Eagle.
Suddenly, there was another roar, and a pair of iron claws reached out like lightning from the clouds that covered the sky, and grabbed his arms firmly!
The warrior smiled bitterly, and felt like crying in his heart, this Gu Eagle actually had a pair, and as a human being, he was caught in the way of this beast. Helplessly, seeing the Gu Eagle's giant mouth, he gnawed off his head with a click.
The two Gu Eagles tore at the corpse of the warrior and flew into the distance.
This ancient forest has been isolated from the outside world for such a long time, and there are naturally many animals and plants unknown to human beings in it, and its danger is no less than that of the beast domain, but many people have already died when they realize this.
Humanity has reigned supreme on its own soil for far too long, and has long forgotten the reverence for the natural world in antiquity, which will come at a terrible cost......
Bang!
Somewhere in the forest, a strange beast more than three feet high fell, bleeding in a mess of rocks, and under the sun, a delicate and graceful figure lightly put away the red umbrella in his hand, and stroked his hair, revealing his handsome face.
This person is Du Siniang Du Qing of the Jiaocheng Iron Fist Mercenary Group, wearing a tight backless short skirt and holding a big red umbrella, although he is already in his early thirties, he still looks youthful, but his eyes are a little more aggressive.
Du Qing was still in the middle stage of the medicine realm thirteen years ago, and now she is already a master at the peak of the Yuan Dan realm, and after the accident more than six years ago, now she has taken on the burden of leading the mercenary group, and she doesn't know how much bitterness is hidden under her plain face.
Skillfully directing the members of the peripheral team responsible for guarding to return, Du Qing didn't care about the fatigue of hunting the alien beast just now, and methodically arranged for everyone to take turns to rest and divide the skin and flesh of the alien beast. In such a treacherous forest, they had to be extra careful.
This time the ancient desert city reappeared, and the Iron Fist mercenary group in Jiaocheng dispatched two-thirds of the men, and only some of the remaining people were led by the third Li Man to stay at the headquarters. Du Qing and Qi Lao led this team of thousands of people was not small, but after seeing the fate of some larger guilds, they decided to take it step by step and move forward slowly.
Lao was originally a master of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and he had gone deep into the Cursed Land with his companions more than ten years ago to explore a tomb, and then escaped to the neighboring Western Desert alone, in order to avoid those terrifying pursuers, he had to break into the wind and sand array, and was trapped in it for a month, and finally escaped, but he was bruised all over his body and lost his martial arts. Fortunately, they were rescued by Gu Yang and picked up a life.
After waking up, with his vicious vision and rich experience, he was invited by Gu Yang to be a military advisor and helped the mercenary group survive many disasters. Qi Lao was originally reluctant to speak, but after years of getting along, he seemed to like the ordinary life and lived in Jiaocheng with peace of mind.
In the Iron Fist Mercenary Group, Qi Lao has the best relationship with Du Qing, like father and daughter, and Du Qing is able to make such progress in cultivation thanks to his guidance. The reappearance of the ancient city this time seems to evoke the memories of Qi Laochen, and he took the initiative to ask to lead the team back to the old place with Du Qing.
Thanks to the guidance of such an experienced military advisor, the mercenary group successfully avoided the territory of many powerful beasts along the way, and only cautiously hunted when they encountered a foreign beast that could deal with it.
In less than half a day, this team of 1,000 people has gone deep into the forest of Yucheng and has gone through nearly half of the distance!
Although it was daylight, the mountain road in front of me was dark and deep under the cover of the canopy, and only the sunlight that penetrated through the gaps in the leaves diluted some of the darkness.
Walking in this dim and dangerous environment, Du Qing couldn't help but think of a past incident six years ago......
