The weather was very hot, sweaty, and everyone felt uncomfortable, but Ling Zun sat on the horse alone, calming down and hurrying.

After Ling Zun entered the Biansai City, he broke away from the caravan and did not look around, he basically had no interest in a city about the size of Light Wind City, and it was basically impossible to find what he was looking for here.

Therefore, Ling Zun walked all the way, preparing to pass through this city and go out directly.

At the other end of the city, near the gates, there is a huge square, which is crowded every day, especially in the morning.

Because this is where the mercenaries gather.

At the edge of the square, a statue of Guanghua rock, which is more than a foot high, has four big red characters written on it - Mercenary Square, which is the place where mercenaries are recruited, a pair of people and horses stand in different places on the square, and there are various different carriages, some of which are very well camouflaged, so that people can't see what is inside.

Ling Zun didn't want to stay here longer, his goal was not here, just as he was about to leave here directly and head to the Nebula Dynasty, a caravan appeared in front of Ling Zun.

The leader was an old man in his fifties, and behind him, there were several truckloads of goods, and of course, there were more than two dozen guards following him.

Ling Zun didn't want to pay attention to them, so he wanted to leave directly, but the old man suddenly said, "Where is this little brother going?"

Ling Zun thought in his heart that they must want to recruit guards, so he asked this, but he thought that it was impossible for him to join them, he was going to the Nebula Dynasty, and they were a caravan, but there were only about twenty people escorting the goods, it must not be a multinational caravan.

And judging from the various costumes of those guards, it is clear that these people are individual mercenaries, and they have not joined the mercenary group, and they are the guards temporarily recruited by these people.

"Prepare to go to the Nebula Dynasty. Ling Zun arched his hand and said lightly, "I don't think we should be on the same road, so we will leave below." ”

Just as Ling Zun was about to turn around and leave, the old man's eyes lit up and said, "Since the little brother is preparing to go to the Nebula Dynasty, why don't we go on the road together, how about it?" We are still short of some manpower, little brother rest assured, we will definitely pay the payment." ”

Ling Zun glanced at the old man in surprise, and didn't know why, and said, "Could it be that Your Excellency is also going to the Nebula Dynasty?"

"Hehe, we're not heading to the Nebula Dynasty, but we're on the same path. The old man laughed.

Hearing this, with Ling Zun's IQ, he immediately understood that they were indeed on the same path as himself, but only part of the journey was the same, and they would reach their destination on the way to the Nebula Dynasty, and they would be separated from them, and then rush to the Nebula Dynasty alone.

Originally, Ling Zun was going to refuse, but when he thought that it was indeed a little lonely to go on the road alone, it would be okay for someone to go all the way, so he smiled lightly: "Since that's the case, then let's go on the road together! I don't know when you are going to leave?"

"I'm going to leave right away. ”

In this way, Ling Zun, who originally planned to go to the Nebula Dynasty alone, joined the caravan.

"Elder, we have recruited so many mercenaries who are not strong, will we leak the matter of the spirit crystal vein!" On the way, a guard who was from the same family as the old man asked in a low voice, the voice was so small that only the two of them could hear it.

"Don't worry, when we arrive, we will disband these people, and we won't let them know about the existence of the Spirit Crystal Vein, the strength of these mercenaries is generally low, it will not affect us, and it can also hide people's eyes and ears, making the Spirit Crystal Vein more safe. The old man also whispered.

Every family has enemies, and among these people, only a few people belong to the same family as the old man, and the rest of them are recruited and temporarily replaced, and their strength is low, which is more conducive to hiding people's eyes and ears.

"Spirit Crystal Vein?" Ling Zun's perception was extremely strong, far from being comparable to these people, so naturally he heard their conversation.

......

Two days later, Ling Zun and the others appeared in a large crimson valley.

There is a desolate, dilapidated small city in the north of the large valley here, which is no longer inhabited, and it is connected to a corner of the Warcraft Mountains to the south, which is also a small part of the Warcraft Mountains according to the topography.

Of course, it does not mean that this place is very close to the Great Zhou Dynasty, on the contrary, it is very far from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After all, the Warcraft Mountain Range stretches for tens of thousands of miles, spanning the Tianxuan Continent, and even some dynasties are next to the Warcraft Mountain Range, and the Warcraft Mountain Range is an extremely mysterious mountain range in the Tianxuan Continent. It's just that there are no strong people here, and those martial artists don't dare to go deep into the Warcraft Mountain Range, so this also leads to their inability to enter the Warcraft Mountain Range to get very precious cultivation resources, in the long run, there are few strong people here, and resources are frequent, even those dynasties are unwilling to include this place in their kingdom territory, which may limit the development of their own dynasty, if they accept this, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses.

This is the temporary destination of the old man and the others, the Valley of Flames, as for Ling Zun, if he wants to go to the Nebula Dynasty, he must pass through here.

The Valley of Flames covers a wide area, and there are several volcanic craters that have long been silent everywhere, and the valley is full of fire-attribute spirit grass, spirit trees, and fire-attribute demonic beasts that live here.

The demonic beasts here are all full of a wild and fierce aura, much more ferocious than other demonic beasts of the same level, and it seems that they are all affected by the environment here.

When Ling Zun and the others came here, they all felt irritable inexplicably.

"Thank you for coming with me, we have reached our destination, I said before, we will not invite you for nothing, this is your reward. After speaking, the old man took out a large amount of gold coins and handed them to Ling Zun and the others.

Ling Zun did not refuse, took the gold coin, and said, "Thank you, I will leave here." With that, he turned around and left.

And those mercenaries who did not belong to the old man's family also left one after another after getting paid, and did not go with the old man.

"Let's go to the city first. The leading old man snorted softly, and drove his mount towards the desolate little city, and the men behind him immediately followed.

In the small city, there is a team of people and horses, with several True Spirit Realm martial artists in charge, and nearly a hundred guards, and there is no one else here except them.

The people here all belong to a big family, the Zhao family, half a month ago, an elder of the Zhao family found a small crystal ore in the Valley of Flames.

What does the crystal represent?

This represents that there are more non-attribute spirit crystals for martial artists above the spirit realm to absorb and advance, and it represents a symbol of the Zhao family's strength and wealth.

If the Zhao family completes the extraction of this small piece of crystal ore, then in the next ten years, it will definitely be able to rise to a higher level.

Now that the crystal ore has just begun to be mined, and most of it has not yet been mined, the Zhao family will naturally not give up easily.

You must know that this kind of crystal ore is not available everywhere, this kind of resource is often in the hands of the big sects, and many sects have only discovered one or two crystal mines so far, and the Zhao family can find one, what a big opportunity.

Originally, with the strength of the Zhao family, more manpower could be used to mine this crystal mine, but in this extremely harsh environment, this is not allowed at all.

Not to mention that there is almost no trace of water found in a radius of hundreds of miles here, and it is extremely hot all year round, even a martial artist in the realm of Lingshi cannot stand this kind of torture.

The most important thing is that these crystal ore mining must be very particular, and they must not be careless at all, otherwise they will be easily destroyed.

In addition, although the crystal ore here is ownerless, if the news leaks and is known to those hostile families, something will definitely happen.

Now that such a lineup has been dispatched, it is obvious that there is a big situation, that is, all the guards who have gone to mine crystal ore have been poisoned by fire, even some Spirit Realm martial artists are no exception.

These fire poisons make them become irritable, their personalities change greatly, they easily lose their minds, and over time they will even cause people to die of schizophrenia.

Now that the crystal ore has just been mined, and most of it has not been mined, the Zhao family will naturally not give up easily, so the people in the family rushed here to guard the refining of the Ice Cold Pill to prevent others from being poisoned by fire again.

"Are you going to bring the elixir?" After those elders came here, one of the elders asked the old man who invited Ling Zun, as the only elder here, the elixir must be on his body.

"Well, they've all been brought. The old man nodded and said, as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately took out all the Ice Cold Pills he brought, and then handed over all the Ice Cold Pills in his hands to the elders here.

"Hmm. After an elder took the elixir handed over by the old man, weighed it for a moment, then nodded, and after putting the Ice Cold Pill into the spatial ring, the elder said to the person who had just come here: " You have just come here, and you are not familiar with the situation here, so you must not walk around, because there is not only a very powerful fire poison here, but also a very violent demonic beast, these demonic beasts are very ferocious and bloodthirsty, and they bite people when they see them, until you are going to die or he is killed by you, if you are accidentally bitten by these demonic beasts, it is very likely that you will not be able to save them, because the fire poison of these demonic beasts is ten times more powerful than the fire poison in the Valley of Flames, or even a hundred times, and at that time, even the Ice Cold Pill will not play a role, you know？”

"Got it, thanks for the reminder from the elders. All the guards who came here replied in unison.

Hearing their return, the elders nodded in satisfaction and left with their guards.

Ling Zun walked away, and after waiting for no one from the Zhao family, he found a very secluded place to sit cross-legged, although it was full of fire poison, but it was also a good place to cultivate, because there were few people here to disturb him, in this way, he could calm down and start cultivating.

However, if you want to calm down and cultivate, this is not a very simple matter, because the breath here is very hot and irritating, and Ling Zun has also gone through an hour of time adjustment before finally calming himself down.
