Chapter 15 Heron Island
Because of this, Wang Lung dared to accept the recruitment of Baishantang, he had no spiritual power to mobilize, in the face of a group of cultivators who were tied, his strength could be imagined, not to mention that he was also equipped with secular martial arts.
In addition, Wang Lung still values seven inches, Cun Qi is a self-cultivator, in order to reach the late stage of distraction, his body is strong, which is equivalent to the late stage of infant deficiency among the cultivators, and even a few points stronger, with such a perverted body as a backing, even if Cun Qi does not make a move and allows those cultivators to attack, he must not be able to hurt it.
After explaining it, Cun Qi agreed to go together, but there was one condition, that is, it had to follow Wang Lung's side and fight, if it couldn't deal with it, Wang Lung had to save it.
Wang Lung smiled bitterly, with Cunqi's strength, it is not certain who will save whom, not to mention, when he let Cunqi follow him, it was nothing more than the intention of letting the other party give him a beater, but now it is good, the position of the two is reversed.
As long as Cun Qi participates, Wang Lung didn't think too much, what is the strength of Cun Qi, Wang Lung is not sure just by its words, as the saying goes, a good man has three gangs, Cun Qi looks like five big and three thick, but he may not be a good hand when he fights.
After the two returned to the room, they slept peacefully, and when they woke up, it was already dawn, and they couldn't cultivate in the Celestial Spirit, and the two didn't want to nest in the room, so after breakfast, they made an appointment to visit Shunhe City together.
For Shunhe City, Wang Lung is a little unhappy, that is, the city does not seem to be big, but it takes a walk on foot, at least for several hours, there is no means of transportation, and he is not afraid of the strength of a cultivator, but what can those locals of Shunhe City do, if there is an urgent matter to run with both legs, wouldn't it delay a lot of big things.
Before leaving the inn, Wang Lung asked the owner. It was learned that there was no so-called public transportation in Shunhe City, and ordinary people could only walk on their feet, and only some big people could afford to sit in animal cars.
The so-called beast car, that is, to domesticate some beasts who are good at running and have great strength as foot power, and put on the wheel for riding.
In Shunhe City, animal carts are only used to pull people. As for carrying goods, it can only be solved by manpower, after all, there are very few high-ranking officials and nobles in a city, most of them are civilians, even the soldiers in the garrison, there are no beast carts available, unless they are general-level commanders.
There are three major races in the Celestial Spirits, the Terrans, the Elves and the Orcs, and the domesticated Orcs are used as foot power. This is not a secret thing for the Celestial Spirit, but it is not possible to blatantly drive the beast cart to the beast area, otherwise it will definitely cause friction between the two races.
Helpless, since there is no transportation available, Wang Lung and Cun Qi have to walk on foot, one person and one demon do not plan to wander around the trade area, they want to go to other areas to see, whether to buy things or not is second. The main thing is to learn about the customs and habits of the Celestial Spirits.
Three days passed quickly, and in the middle of these days. Wang Lung and Cun Qi are inseparable, every morning they go out to go shopping, and return to the inn in the evening to rest, they don't buy anything, just wander around without purpose.
The ordinary people in Shunhe City have their own things to do, and most of them are mainly hunting and farming. There are very few handicrafts, but there are quite a lot of shops, which are roughly the same as the industries on earth, and the handymen in the shops are all locals, and there are very few mixed-race children like Ling'er.
Shopping these days. The only place that Wang Long and Cun Qi have not been to is the management area, and whenever they approach that area, there will be soldiers who come forward to stop them, saying that it is an important place in Shunhe City, and it is inconvenient to open it to the outside world.
In this regard, Wang Lung and Cun Qi are not hypocritical, the management area is where the ancient Chinese yamen is located, there is nothing to see, except for this place, other areas have been visited by them.
Three days later, in the early morning, Wang Lung and Cun Qi came to Baishan Hall, at this time there were many people waiting here, Ling'er saw them go to the appointment on time, his heart was very happy, after introducing each other, Wang Lung and Cun Qi sat down and waited for the future.
After Wang Lung sat down, he didn't talk to others, he closed his eyes alone, he knew that those so-called cultivators must be staring at themselves at this time, and they were called seniors by Ling'er, and they should be regarded as a member of the cultivators, but Wang Lung was not a quasi-cultivator no matter how he looked at it, which made other cultivators have many doubts, but then looked at the inch seven beside Wang Lung, they didn't dare to open their mouths at will, after all, the cultivation of the inch seven was there, and everyone couldn't see through it, so it could only show that their cultivation was not enough, so Wang Lung was even more mysterious.
Half an hour passed like this, and after Ling'er greeted him, Wang Lung opened his eyes and saw that there were already more than fifty cultivators sitting in the hall, thinking that in the past three days, Baishantang had recruited many good players.
Ling'er bowed to all the cultivators present and said: "Thanks to the help of the seniors, the juniors have thanked you in advance, now that the time has come, the seniors have also arrived as promised, if the seniors have no objections, how about boarding the ship with the juniors?"
Everyone held their own identities, and the conditions had been negotiated when they were invited, but they didn't have any other ideas at this time, they all nodded in agreement, Ling'er was happy, and walked out, Wang Lung and Cun Qi accompanied everyone.
Out of Baishantang, there are already ten large beast carts parked outside the door, and the carts are pulled by four beasts, which are a bit similar to alpacas in appearance, but there is no hump, the neck is slender, the size is large, and the fur is dark green.
Ling'er turned around and said: "The beast car is in short supply in Shunhe City, and it is a long way to go, so I can only grieve the seniors."
Everyone did not show displeasure, just nodded and boarded the beast car, five or six cultivators sat in the same beast car, the interior of the carriage was spacious, and ten people sitting together did not seem crowded, it seemed that Baishantang had made a thorough arrangement for this operation.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when they arrived at the seashore of the Confused Sea, it was already evening, and everyone got off the beast cart and boarded the sea ship again, the sea ship had already docked at the seaside to wait, the hull was all wooden structure, the main body was a huge wooden chiseled and carved, about 100 meters long, more than 10 meters wide, and everyone stood on it and did not feel how crowded.
When everyone boarded the ship, an old man shouted to set sail, but saw the sails of the ship open, hundreds of sailors at the same time, and the hull of the ship slowly sailed off the shore and into the sea.
After the old man finished shouting, Ling'er introduced the seniors, it turned out that the old man was Ling'er's own father, named Luo Tu, who went to the Baishantang head office a few days ago to discuss matters, and arrived here at noon today to preside over the operation.
After everyone finished greeting each other, they said no more. Each found a place to sit cross-legged, and according to Luo Tu, everyone had a good rest tonight, and the next morning they could arrive at Ludao, which was one of the three islands that Baishantang was fighting for.
As for how many shops on Egret Island will participate in the competition, Luo Tu is not clear. On the Terran side, the three shops each compete for an island, and the Spirit Clan has six shops, with the strength of the Spirit Clan, it should far exceed the Terran by a lot, and it is possible to face a relatively strong Spirit Clan shop, and it is also possible to face more than three Spirit Clan shops, anyway, the Terran shops are in this battle. Its strength is very weak, and whether it can succeed or not, presumably even Wang Lung himself does not have much confidence in his heart.
Wang Long's physical body is strong, and he has a great advantage in the face of cultivators who can't release spiritual power, but according to Ling'er, there are many cultivators on the Jingxing today, no less than 100,000 people. Perhaps only a small number of the 100,000 will participate in this battle, but Wang Lung does not dare to guarantee it. Is there an old monster in the late stage of distraction or the infant deficiency period, if you really encounter such an old monster, you can challenge the entire Baishantang shop with only one person, at that time, Wang Lung will definitely pat his ass and leave, and fight with the old monster in the infant deficiency period, his brain is not stupid to the point of inch seven.
After entering the sea vessel. Cun Qi behaved quite honestly, and was even a little scared, Wang Lung was puzzled, and only after asking each other did he realize that Cun Qi was actually afraid of the sea. Always worried that he would fall into the sea to feed the fish and shrimp, Wang Lung could only shake his head and remain silent.
A demon clan in the late stage of distraction is afraid of sea water, and I don't know how Cun Qi originally cultivated, whether his father let Cun Qi go out to practice, these five big and three rough guys, empty cultivation, is as timid as a mouse.
Ignoring Cun Qi, Wang Lung closed his eyes and recuperated, looking forward to tomorrow's battle, if he lost the battle tomorrow, how to collect enough blood recalcitrant frost, I am afraid that he would have to plan well.
If the demand for Blood Thread Frost on Jingxing has skyrocketed today, it will be difficult to achieve it if you want to buy it normally, and Baishantang has no extra Blood Thread Cream to provide, so you can only think of another way.
If he really loses, the only way Wang Lung can think of is to try his luck in the beast clan area, as for whether it can trigger a war between the three clans, Wang Lung doesn't have much to worry about, after collecting the blood reed frost, he immediately patted his ass and left, and what the Celestial Essence Star is like has nothing to do with him.
I don't know if the structure of the sea ship is strange or confused, the sea breeze is calm, Wang Lung sat cross-legged on the deck, and did not feel much shaking, the sea ship was moving very smoothly, the speed was not slow, no one around talked privately, only the sound of the sailor's oars.
The night passed quickly, and when the day dawned, a black silhouette came into everyone's sight, according to Ling'er, that was Egret Island, which was not far from the other two islands, and it would take about half an hour by boat.
When Egret Island came into view, Wang Lung also saw two black dots, as far as his eyes could see, he could tell that they were two sea ships, presumably the Elf family shop team that arrived at the same time, the distance between them and Egret Island was basically the same as the sea ship that Wang Lung was on, but the direction of travel was different, and the two sea ships walked together, ten kilometers away from Wang Lung's left.
Egret Island is approaching, from a distance, this island is not too big, the radius is not more than a thousand zhang away, there is no life on the island, only a small number of trees, lush and overgrown with all kinds of weeds, if not subdivided, I am afraid it is difficult to distinguish which is the weed, which is the spirit grass.
Before landing on the island, Luo Tu asked everyone to grasp it, because there are many reefs around Egret Island, and the hull is strong and not afraid of being damaged, but if it hits the reef, it will inevitably cause turbulence, and if it is not explained in advance, it will cause unnecessary trouble.
As Luo Tu said, when the sea ship was about 500 meters away from landing, there was a banging sound in his ears, the reef collided with the hull, and the sound came out was a little dull.
The hull of the ship swayed, Cun Qi's face turned pale, and he clung to Wang Lung tightly, as if there was an abyss behind him, Wang Lung didn't care about it, and let Cun Qi hold on to it.
Wang Lung stood relatively steady, his body swayed with the hull of the ship at the same time, he didn't care about the situation around him, but looked into the distance, the two elven merchant ships near the left also shook more than once, Wang Lung hoped that they would sink to the bottom of the sea, but unfortunately this idea had just come out, and the ship had already sailed in smoothly.
There are still 100 meters away from the coast of Ludao, the sea ship anchored, and then the sea water is shallow, unable to travel, everyone does not care, and follows Luo Tu and Ling'er to Ludao one after another.
Except for Luo Tu and Ling'er, all the cultivators who landed on the island were all cultivators recruited by Baishantang, and those sailors were just coolies, and in the battle, the aborigines of the Celestial Spirit Star had no strength to compete with the cultivators, and even if they participated in the war, there was only one way to die.
Everyone understood this truth, but they didn't raise any questions, not only on the Baishan Hall side, but also on the other two Spirit Clan shops.
After landing on Egret Island, the three shops officially met, and Luo Tu came forward to discuss with the people in charge of the other two shops, as for when to start the war, Wang Lung didn't care, he had already seen the strength of the other two shops.
To be honest, the strength of a single Spirit Clan shop was twice as much as that of Baishantang, and the number of cultivators who disembarked from the opposing sea ship was as high as more than 100 people, and this was just the cultivators recruited by one shop, and the two families together had nearly three hundred cultivators.
Seeing such a battle, the cultivators recruited by Baishantang's side couldn't help frowning, they all understood that one-on-one might have a chance of winning, but one-on-three or even one-on-five, even Wang Lung couldn't cope with it.
After a while, Luo Tu walked back to his team and explained the process of the three-party negotiation to everyone.
The three shops also understand the stakes, before the war, first explore the Egret Island, whether there is still blood thorn frost on this island, and how much the specific output is, it must be figured out first.
Everyone agreed to the proposal, but there was a dispute over who would explore Heron Island. (To be continued......)
