Chapter 011: Black Spring Collection
The boundless desert is like a sea. The monks here are like sharks in the sea.
Some sharks are bigger, others are smaller. It is an eternal truth that big fish eat small fish!
The monks in the desert can't open up spiritual fields, can't plant spiritual things, all the resources can only go to the yellow sand to look for them, if you are lucky, you can only grab them, and if you are unlucky, you can only grab them in order to survive!
So, fighting here happens every day.
Cycle after cycle, cycle after generation, life and death, countless years have passed like this.
This is the desert, the desert nourished by blood.
After Xu Fu took over the command, the team turned around and headed towards a monastic settlement called the "Black Spring Collection".
The monks are not so dependent on water, but in the desert, they still cannot survive for a long time, so the monks' settlements are built where there is a water source.
There is a spiritual spring in the Black Spring Collection, as well as the spiritual veins opened up by the predecessors.
According to Xu Fu's plan, the Zhu family's team will repair in Heiquanji for a period of time, buy sand camel beasts, and let everyone adapt to the rules and environment in the desert.
Monks in the desert rarely fly unless they are in a hurry, or in a state of escape and fighting.
Because of the lack of aura here, the mana consumed by flying and traveling cannot be replenished in time, and it is a very dangerous thing in the desert environment where accidents may occur at any time.
Here, monks can only live longer if they keep their mana full at all times.
Therefore, in the desert, it is necessary to use spirit animals as a means of transportation.
The best mount in the desert is the Sand Camel, a docile spirit animal with great endurance and gravity.
The most important thing is that the sand camel is easy to feed.
There are also many other spirit beasts that can be used as mounts, such as sand wolves, sand birds, desert lizards, and so on! But this kind of spirit beasts are more picky about food, and they are far less simple than sand camels to raise.
With Xu Fulai as the team leader, Zhu Youdao can save a lot of time to do other things.
He made a hands-off shopkeeper, and it was not easy for Xu Fuke.
Because according to Zhu Youdao's requirements, Li Yunniang needs to kill people to cultivate, and other monks also have to participate in the battle to achieve the effect of training.
Xu Fu could only rack his brains to lead the team to the route where the sand bandits were rampant.
Moreover, Zhu Youdao is still very demanding on combat, and he can't swarm when he sees the enemy, so he has to match his strength first.
The enemy is in the Qi training period, so Xu Fu has to send people in the Qi training period to fight; the enemy is in the foundation building period, so he can send the people in the foundation building period to fight.
As for the monks of the Jindan period, they are all in the depths of the desert, and it is not easy to meet them for the time being.
Xu Fu's plan deviated slightly: he originally planned to buy a batch of sand camel beasts after arriving at the Black Spring Collection, but before he arrived at the Black Spring Collection, everyone had a means of transportation.
Thanks to the care of the bandits!
Within the desert, hunters tend to become prey.
These sand bandits roared over, they were all a rabble composed of low-level monks, and now they were unlucky when they encountered the Zhu family's team.
And the only thing they have useful, in addition to adding a little combat experience to the rookies in the Zhu family's team, is only the mount that is somewhat useful.
Therefore, after encountering several waves of sand bandits in a row, the Zhu family's team all rode on mounts.
In order to facilitate cultivation on the road, Zhu Youdao specially refined a beast cart for himself and let the sand camel beast pull it to walk.
The desert is not suitable for car walking, so Zhu Youdao "invented" a tracked wheel, which can be regarded as making some contributions to the desert.
Half a month later, the Zhu family's team entered the Black Spring Collection.
It was built as a simple walled city, and the city wall was an earthen wall that was only one person high, and nothing could be prevented, and its main function was to define the scope.
There is a peculiarity in the desert that you have to pay money to enter other people's territory, and the Black Springs Collection is no exception.
Xu Fu ran to the front to pay the entrance fee and rented an area large enough for more than 40 people to live.
The Zhu family's team drove into the Black Spring Collection.
After everything settled down, Xu Fu came over and reported to Zhu Youdao: "Lord, Heiquanji is jointly occupied by the three major gangs, the strongest is the 'Jinsha Gang', which was established by the Tu sand people and occupies half of the territory here;
This situation has been maintained for more than forty years, and as long as the rules set by the three major gangs are followed, outsiders are still safe here!
Of course, the premise is to keep a low profile, and it is also common to lose your life when you leave the walled city......"
After Xu Fu introduced the situation of Heiquan Ji, Zhu Youdao nodded slightly: "Then what do the people here mainly live on?"
"The three major gangs have opened a market in the walled city, and outsiders can only sell things to the three gangs, and they are not allowed to sell any materials privately!
In addition to the shops selling various materials, there are also gladiatorial arenas, restaurants, casinos, technical institutes and other industries in the walled city, of course, these industries are not allowed to be operated by outsiders.
In addition, the monks in the walled city often go to the sand sea outside to collect low-level elixirs that are common in the desert, such as sand ears and sand fruits, and also capture spirit insect poisons, and the stronger ones go to capture or hunt sand beasts, and occasionally encounter small caravans passing by, they will also gather and work part-time as sand bandits......
Zhu Youdao nodded after hearing this, it is really one side of the water and soil to support the other side, the outside world thinks that the desert is desolate and nothing, but in fact, the ecology here is also self-contained. Isn't this how the Tu sand people in the desert have come from generation to generation?
He said to Xu Fu: "If we release the monsters that I put away, our strength is enough to sweep the Black Spring Collection! But this will not achieve the purpose of training at all, what's the point, we need to kill people, but the purpose is not to kill people!"
You told our people to abide by the rules of the Black Spring Collection!
As for Yun Niang, after settling down, let her take people out of the city every day, learn the way of life of the sand people, and go to gather, catch, and hunt, this is also a kind of exercise! I believe that after leaving the walled city, someone will send her to the door to kill!"
Xu Fu nodded and said, "Lord, I know how to do it!"
"How's your leg injury?"
"Thank you for the elixir given by the lord, my subordinate's leg injury has healed!"
Zhu Youdao nodded and handed him a jade bottle: "There is a Zhuji Dan here, after you arrange everything here, let's retreat and build the foundation, and after you get out of the customs, we will continue on the road!"
Xu Fu took over Zhuji Dan and said excitedly: "Thank you, lord!"
Zhu Youdao waved his hand: "I still say the same thing, as long as you can prove your worth, your stage will not be just a desert, nor will it be just this world! Zhuji, Jindan, Yuanying, as long as you have the ability, I will let you go all the way!"
