Chapter 879: The Land of the Dead
After a pause, Lei Yu continued: "Later, just a few days ago, they found this group of nether bats in a cave in the East China Sea, that cave is very special, there are two caves, the outer one is slightly smaller, at that time they didn't find the cave inside in the East China Sea, and thought that this was a group of netherworld bats with a very small number, if the magic circle is arranged outside the cave, plus a few of us, there should be no problem in destroying a hundred or so nether bats." At that time, I was also greedy for a while, so I agreed. But when we started, we found that there were more than 100 nether bats in the cave. Speaking of which, Lei Yu couldn't say any more.
Yan Ran patted Lei Yu's hand lightly, and then said: "The four of them died in the East China Sea, and Lei Yu and I were lucky enough to escape, and we were chased and killed by the enraged Nether Bat all the way, and then we met you." ”
Yan Ran obviously didn't want to recall that sad past, and didn't say the details, but Ouyang Feng could think of the thrill and understand the sadness of losing his companion.
Back then, Pedy, Bruce and Roderick died in the battle on Qingyuan Island, Ouyang Feng was sad for a long time, and even now, he still feels distressed every time he thinks about it. Patting Lei Yu on the shoulder comfortingly, Ouyang Feng changed the topic and asked, "What are your plans next?"
Lei Yu let out a long sigh, spit out the depression in his heart, thought for a while and said, "Qinghua City is not far away, let's first complete the experience and go to Qingyuan City to contact the elders in the Holy City there." What about you, are you really going to go to the ladder to find your friend?"
Ouyang Feng nodded affirmatively and said, "Well, I must go." ”
Lei Yu thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go to Qinghua City with us first, we can inform the Holy City and let them send someone to the ladder to wait for your friends, not to mention that there are two ladders in this plane, and you are not sure which ladder your friends will go to find you, and the people from our Holy City will help." It will save a lot of time. ”
Ouyang Feng thought about it again and again, shook his head and said: "No need, you all know about me, there are not many people who want to kill me, and the cultivation is definitely not ordinary, it is estimated that even if it is a god-level guy, there will be no less." I'm still saying that. You must keep your encounter with me confidential, even with your family, as if you have never met me, so that I can be safer. ”
Yan Ran was a little displeased and said, "What's the matter, are you someone who doesn't trust our Holy City?"
Ouyang Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly and said, "If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have told you the truth before. ”
Yan Ran was puzzled and asked, "Then why did you refuse our help?"
Ouyang Feng explained: "Those guys who want to kill me know very well about me, they know that I have a good relationship with the Holy City, and I believe that it won't be long before they know the news that I have come to this plane, and when the time comes, they will definitely closely monitor the movements of the Holy City, if you help me go to the ladder to find those friends of mine." Maybe it's even more dangerous. ”
After listening to Ouyang Feng's explanation, Yan Ran suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's the case, I really didn't expect it." By the way, what the hell are you doing? Why do so many people want to kill you? Don't they know that you have a close relationship with the gods?"
Ouyang Feng is not very easy to say about this matter, after all, this matter is a bit too unbelievable, and it is not good for Lei Yu and Yanran to know it, so they smiled faintly and casually found an excuse to perfunctory. Lei Yu could see that Ouyang Feng must have something unspeakable. Signaling Yan Ran not to ask again, he was silent for a while and said to Ouyang Feng, "If that's the case." I advise you to go to Tsinghua City with us first, don't worry, Yanran and I won't want anyone to reveal your identity, I can swear. Yan Ran also joined in the fun and said, "I can swear too." Ouyang Feng didn't stop the two from making an oath, after all, it would be safer for him to have one more protection.
After Lei Yu and Yanran swore an oath, Ouyang Feng asked curiously, "Why did you suggest that I go to Tsinghua City first?"
Lei Yu explained: "We also said it before. It's far away from the Ladder of Heaven, and it will take more than half a year to keep flying Edgeworth, and it's not bad to say if you get into trouble on the way, and besides, there aren't many cities on this plane. Most of it is wilderness, with countless dangers along the way. Although your strength and means are very strong, you are always alone, and when you encounter powerful demonic beasts or some unreasonable foreign cultivators, you may fall into a crisis. And if you go to Tsinghua City with us first, you can find a caravan in the direction of the ladder to join there, and you follow the caravan, although the speed will be a little slower, but it is much safer. ”
Yan Ran smiled mischievously and said: "The caravan is not a casual joining, you have to work, and you have to act as a guard when you encounter a demonic beast or something, but don't worry, if we come forward as a guarantor with the identity of the Holy City, I believe that any caravan will give us some face and will not let you do dangerous things." ”
Ouyang Feng thought about it again and again, and finally decided to follow the advice of the two and go to Tsinghua City first, and also see the customs of this plane by the way.
Seeing Ouyang Feng agree, Yan Ran was the happiest, and explained some things that needed attention to Ouyang Feng with the posture of a senior, Ouyang Feng listened carefully, although most of what Yan Ran said was nonsense or things that Ouyang Feng had expected, but there were still some gains, such as the land of the dead.
The so-called Absolute Spirit Land is some places that do not have the slightest vitality, and these places have an inexplicable power, once a cultivator enters, he cannot use any fighting energy, magic, spiritual power or other energy, he can only rely on his own strength and martial arts, of course, the same is true for Warcraft, but the physical condition of Warcraft itself is stronger than that of humans, so in the Land of Absolute Spirits, beasts and Warcraft are stronger.
Speaking of these, Lei Yu took out a brief map, Ouyang Feng looked at it carefully, but the map was very sketchy, almost a big circle, a few points, and a zigzag line.
On this line, there are several small circles on behalf of the city, after Lei Yu's explanation, Ouyang Feng knew that this picture is the road map drawn by Lei Yu and them this time, which is marked with the cities they passed through and the deep mountains and wilderness along the way, and some very small words are used to record some specialties and powerful monsters in these places.
Ouyang Feng pointed to the big flat circle where the lines passed and asked, "What are these two places?
Lei Yu nodded and said, "Yes, these two Absolute Spirit Lands are relatively large, so I marked them." ”
Ouyang Feng was stunned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yan Ran replied: "Of course, there are many Absolute Lands in this plane, and I don't know how many large and small, the largest is the Blue Sea Jedi on the west coast, with a diameter of thousands of kilometers. The two we came across were relatively small, only a few hundred kilometers and would take several days to cross, and the smaller ones, but they were so small that they could be passed in a few hours. By the way, I heard that there are smaller ones, only a few tens of meters in diameter, but we haven't seen them. ”
Ouyang Feng looked at the map and asked with a frown: "You can't use spiritual power in this kind of place, so why don't you take a detour? Wouldn't it be dangerous if you encountered a large group of beasts inside? ”
Lei Yu smiled faintly and said: "Actually, the environment of the Absolute Spirit Land is not as bad as you think, although there are countless beasts there, but there are also many humans there, as long as you don't get too far away from the mainland, you won't encounter any danger under normal circumstances." ”
Ouyang Feng was surprised and said, "There are also a lot of human beings, didn't you say that you can't use any energy in that place? That is to say, you can't cultivate, and those people won't cultivate if they stay there?"
Lei Yu explained: "I don't know if I can cultivate in the plane you came from, there are still a lot of ordinary people who can't cultivate in this plane, and after these people are sure that they can't cultivate, most of them will go to live in the nearby Absolute Spirit Land, because there, they will not be bullied by cultivators or find equality, and more importantly, there, they can earn more spirit stones." ”
Without waiting for Ouyang Feng to ask, Yan Ran continued: "There are all kinds of ores in ordinary peerless places, and even some places will produce some quite precious metal ores, such as black iron, which is the material needed to refine top-level magic weapons, even the predecessors of the god level are not valued by Tibet. ”
Ouyang Feng suddenly realized and said, "Are you saying that those ordinary people who can't cultivate go to the Absolute Spirit Land to mine?"
Lei Yu nodded and said: "Almost, to be exact, in order to find a job with a good income, the ore vein is actually not theirs, it has basically been scraped by some forces, and the ore they dig must also be handed over to the owner of the ore vein in exchange for a certain reward." ”
Ouyang Feng's eyes widened: "Miner?" Ouyang Feng's first reaction was the black coal kiln, but thinking about Lei Yu's statement that those ordinary people were willing to go to the Absolute Spirit Land, he shook his head again and overturned his guess.
Lei Yu laughed and said, "Yes, it's a miner." These miners earn a lot of money from digging Kang there, even more than the spirit stones that ordinary cultivators can earn, and they don't need to cultivate, they usually only buy some food and daily necessities, and the spirit stones are not consumed much, and after a few years, they can also accumulate a lot of spirit stones. ”
Ouyang Feng asked tentatively: "Those miners will not be restricted from their freedom, can they leave at any time?"
Lei Yu said uncertainly: "It should be, I don't know these things very well, we did pass by two iron mines when we passed, but I didn't find that those miners were restricted from freedom." ”
Yanran added: "Probably not, I also saw a lot of miners sitting outside chatting with laughter, if they were forced, they should not be so idle." Brother Ouyang, why are you asking this? You don't plan to hide in the Absolute Land to mine, do you?" )
