Chapter 35: The Secret Expedition
The small mountain village, which had been dormant for many years, held a grand bonfire party that night to celebrate the birth of a new leader of the Ice Clan.
Bing Xuan, who drank a little wine, saw the real happiness and happiness of the clan, perhaps, the original Ice Clan was a worry-free life, laughing every day. Bing Xuan secretly encouraged himself, for the sake of this group of lovely people, for the sake of his family, fight for it, boy!
The next day, before the morning sun rose, the training team quietly left the village with the three shadow guards, and no one saw them off. Tian Ke handed over the two space rings entrusted to him by the patriarch to Bing Xuan, which were one of the few treasures in the clan, or were made by the original ancestor Emperor himself, and the manufacturing process had long been lost. Bing Xuan accepted one, and the other was handed directly to Tianke. The ring contains treasures, crystal nuclei, and amethyst coins needed to walk outside.
Amethyst is an ore from the Icedew Continent, which is extremely scarce in storage and not easy to mine. Amethyst ore itself has extremely pure energy, but it is very human can absorb, so when the empire was first formed, the ancestor emperor ordered people to make the amethyst ore mined from the Amethyst Mountains into currency for circulation and use in human society.
The Amethyst Mountains are famous for producing amethyst ore, but the more abundant production is of inferior quality, gold and earth, and the crystals made from these two ores are also the most widely circulated crystals in the hands of civilians.
Bing Xuan's spiritual power infiltrated into the space ring and made a cursory probe, and found that there were hundreds of millions of amethyst coins in the ring. After thinking about it, he was no longer surprised, after all, the Ice God Empire, which had existed for thousands of years, would make the world laugh if he couldn't take out such a little property. However, this is still based on the fact that the taxes are extremely low, and those four major families who have been divided into different places have been breeding for so long, and they must have amethyst reserves that are no less than those of the Ice Clan.
The team left the village, bypassed the Boguang Lake, and began to head south, entering the Longpan Mountains in the south of the village. The Longpan Mountains stretch for nearly thousands of miles from north to south, and it is precisely because of its existence that the outside world is completely isolated from the mountain village.
The training team skillfully crossed the mountains and mountains, and the strong battle pet under the crotch frightened the birds and finches, and paralyzed the small beasts, even some powerful demon beasts also felt the powerful pressure and carefully curled up in the nest, allowing them to pass through their territory. The three shadow guards also have their own war pets, but when they saw the mighty war pets of this group of children who have just entered adulthood, they also secretly admired it in their hearts.
According to the original travel speed, it would be possible to pass through the Longpan Mountains in a week at most, but it was about to enter the range of human activities, so everyone became cautious. When there were only four hundred miles to the edge of the Longpan Mountain Range, everyone put away their war pets and changed into the clothes they had prepared for a long time. The little fat man is still sitting on the fire dragon horse because of his weak strength, after all, this ordinary mount will not make people suspicious.
After walking slowly for three days, everyone finally walked out of the Longpan Mountain Range, and the sight was the endless plain. It is now part of the newly formed Fire Nation. When the servants of the Fire Clan were divided, they only established a Yan City, thousands of years of reproduction and accumulation, the population increased greatly, and now in the territory of the Fire Country, in addition to the Yan City, three new large-scale cities have been built, defending the Yan City in a powerful manner.
Captain Tian Ke opened the latest map presented by Mo, and after asking Bing Xuan, he was scheduled to rest in the small town of Aidin, which was located a hundred miles away on the edge of the plain.
Although the town of Ayding belongs to Longpan City in the north of the Fire Country, although it is only a town-level, its various facilities are no less than those of a small city in the interior, it not only has to provide all kinds of needs for people who enter the Demon Forest to explore, but also this place is always facing the impact of the Demon Forest beasts.
The team walked on the vast plain, and the town's buildings in the distance came into view. Entering an unfamiliar human society for the first time, the team members are each full of excitement and nervousness. However, the unpredictable world is different from the self-sufficient mountain villages, and there are no kind and simple folk customs.
At this moment, a group of men and horses, no less than forty or fifty, came running from the northwest of the town, led by a stout mace in his hand and a wind leopard riding under his crotch. The rest of the people had a variety of mounts, ranging from ordinary horses to fierce wolves and fierce tigers. A group of people bent their bows and arrows, whistled again and again, and surrounded the team.
The leader saw that he was facing a group of immature teenagers, accompanied by three adults who seemed to be servants, and his eyes revealed incomparable joy. Especially when I saw the three beautiful girls in the team, I was even more overjoyed, and I kept looking up and down at the three girls with squinting eyes.
Tian Ke and the others were furious when they saw this, and they were just about to pull out their weapons, but Bing Xuan beside him vaguely raised his hand to stop them, but a sneer of disdain flashed on his face.
"Boys, where did you come from, and what are you doing?" the man at the head asked loudly.
"We are residents of Ayding Town, and we recently organized a group to explore the Longpan Mountains, and we just came back today. Tian Ke replied nervously.
"Nonsense. I don't know anything else, but this Lao Tzu in Ayding Town is very familiar. has been crisscrossing Aydin Town for more than ten years, and Lao Tzu has never seen these three chicks in the town. Don't hurry up and recruit it truthfully, otherwise Lao Tzu will cut you directly. The man at the head said angrily.
"Don't, don't, uncle, we are from Longpan City, this time we will accompany the little masters out to experience it, and the uncle should be merciful." Mo said with a look of horror.
"Haha, I said, it turned out to be Miss Childe from a big city. The little ones, get off their weapons and take Lao Tzu up the mountain, maybe you can knock a few big ones this time, hahaha. "The leader heard that it was a group of hairy boys from a big family, and his heart was simply happy.
Everyone disarmed and surrendered at Bingxuan's signal, without any doubts.
When it got dark, everyone was taken to a cottage in the Longpan Mountains called Luoyang Mountain. After watching everyone be imprisoned, the leader laughed and walked towards the cottage hall.
"Big brother, second brother, little brother picked up a big bargain today, hahaha. The leader cried out.
"Oh, third brother, let's hear it. A big man in the hall put down the wine glass in his hand and said.
The man recounted what had happened, and the two people in the hall laughed and praised their third brother for his ability.
"The little ones are served with good wine and food, and the three of my brothers are going to drink a few glasses, and then go to the three pink and tender little dolls to vent their fire, hahaha. The third elder shouted.
Soon after, the hall was pushing the cups and drinking.
At this time, in the firewood room, everyone loosened the ropes on their bodies.
"Rui, tell me about your findings. Bing Xuan said softly.
"There are more than 100 bandits in this cottage, and their strength is average. In addition to the wind leopard in front of the hall, there was also a black-eyed tiger and an earth fire lizard, and from that size and the energy it emitted, it could be inferred that they had at most a sixth-order demon beast level, and it was estimated that their master's cultivation would not exceed the eighth-order. Rui calmly analyzed.
"Not bad. We are close to the town of Aydin just now, and the plains have a wide view, and once we fight, even if we can completely destroy each other, we will definitely attract the attention of the town, so we will give them a nest here tonight. Bing Xuan stretched out his hand to Rui Zan and said.
The three shadow guards didn't say anything, and they couldn't help but have a new understanding of their Ice Emperor. A group of young people who were just about to retire from their youth, their observation was so keen, and their thinking was so thoughtful, the three of them looked at each other, and they all admired each other.
