Chapter 1158: Sandbank City
Nanjun, Nanhongzhou, Shazhou City.
After two months of traveling, Lei Luo finally came to the city where the county guard of Nanjun County, Nanhong Prefecture was located.
There is an oasis in the middle of the endless desert, and on the land of the oasis stands a huge city, which is the famous sandbank city of the ** domain and even the entire Holy Emperor Dynasty.
The reason why this city is famous is not because of the scenic spots and so on, but because it is close to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons and is within the sphere of influence of the Imperial Spirit Sect.
The most famous thing in this city is the sale of monster materials and monsters, and the auction houses in the city will also auction some rare monsters, and it is even said that there were shapeshifting monsters in the past.
At the same time, there are countless large and small imperial beast sects in Nanhongzhou, and they will also come here to buy or sell some of the demon beasts they have captured, so this place is a famous demon beast trading place in the Holy Heavenly Emperor Dynasty.
As the famous demon beast-trading capital of the Holy Heavenly Emperor Dynasty, Shazhou City is extremely wide, with a length and width of about 300 li, the city wall is ten zhang high, and there is actually a lake in the center of the city.
And after coming to Nanhongzhou, he didn't take a closer look, the architectural style of Nanhongzhou is really very different from other domains, all of them are buildings with arc roofs, which look like mushrooms.
Lei Luo took the little white fox and they landed outside the gate of Sandbank City, and the monks who passed around were all riding around with some demon beasts, and even some of the demon beasts were amazingly large.
Here, he saw the sand camel he rode when he first went to the Barbarian Domain, and this demon beast was just the most basic means of transportation here.
Compared with the first-order sand camels, the monks here prefer some earthy yellow giant lizards, or some earth-armored dragon demon beasts, which are not only of higher grade, but also can carry several times more goods than the sand camels.
"Knock knock" A violent crash sounded.
When Lei Luo and the little white fox looked back, they saw a huge demon beast dozens of feet high, which was a giant elephant with a brown body and a slight trace of mud and sand on its skin.
"This is a fourth-level demon beast!" he finally said with some emotion when he saw the giant elephant carrying dozens of people docked at the gate of Sandbank City.
However, it is not that I am surprised by this demon beast, but by the characteristics of the ** domain, these demon beasts have all been tamed by monks, so they will not attack monks and caravans.
In the distance, many caravans with all kinds of monsters stopped at a stop at the city gate, where there were many wooden sheds, and many caravans were unloading their goods here.
At the same time, there were also many caravans in Shazhou City who walked out of the city gate, and then walked to the vicinity of the stop to start loading goods, one by one demon beasts appeared from the spirit beast bag, and the vicinity of the stop was full of excitement and busyness.
After looking at it for a while, Lei Luo turned his head to look at the little white fox standing on his shoulder, who glanced at him, stretched out his little paw and pointed to the city.
He immediately understood, and walked into Shazhou City with the other party, as for the Peacock Fairy and the Green Snake, they will temporarily cultivate in the Tianji Palace, and will only appear when necessary.
However, Lu Linglong ran out in a hurry, after all, Shazhou City is a new place that she has never been to, and this woman naturally wants to satisfy her curiosity.
Lei Luo and his party are going to stay in Shazhou City for a few days, and they need to find out the location of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, so Lu Linglong and the little white fox can also open their eyes here.
As a rule, they walked towards the most luxurious restaurant in Shazhou City, which didn't even need to be deliberately explored, and walked down the street towards the city, and many people along the way discussed the matter.
From the chatter that could be heard all around, they knew that the most famous restaurant in the city was called "Pearl Restaurant", which was named after the pearl of the desert.
This restaurant is in the center of the city, but the length and width of Shazhou City are more than 400 miles, and Lei Luo performed a shadow escape in a corner, and it took a while to find this restaurant.
Most of the entire Sandbank City is desert buildings, and the architectural style is relatively low, with occasionally one or two two-story buildings, which is already quite spectacular.
This pearl restaurant is different, it is three or four stories high, but it is more about a manor than a restaurant.
The overall style of the place is white, the walls of the building should be made of sand, showing a dull yellow style, there are stairs at the entrance, and there should be a basement under the building.
Lei Luo walked into the largest and most famous restaurant in Sandbank City under the guidance of the attendant, and after walking two steps in a row, he walked into a wide hall, and there were not many people sitting here for the time being.
The layout of the hall is also a little different from that of some other restaurants, and in the center is a small wooden table, which can make about two or three people, and it is very densely arranged.
On both sides of the room are private rooms divided by curtains, against the wall, and five or six people can be seated at a time.
Lei Luo naturally wanted a big place, and the currencies traded here were all spirit stones, and the price was quite amazing.
He ordered a lot of special delicacies here, and he actually needed hundreds of spirit stones, which was enough for a big meal in the Heavenly Tower.
However, the waiter's introduction also made him understand the reason, this place is located in a desert oasis, surrounded by boundless desert, so there is a shortage of materials, and it is naturally more difficult to eat a good meal.
When the monk enters the desert, if he wants to eat a good meal, it is not something that the spirit stone can solve, so the scarcity is expensive, otherwise you can eat the air-dried beast meat, and the price will be much cheaper.
After a while, the waiter in the restaurant came up with pots of barbecued meat, and most of these beast meat came from the demon beasts in the desert, which was smoked and roasted with a fragrant smell and crispy taste.
After the little white fox saw a roast leg of mutton, his figure swept past in a flash, and this roast leg of mutton was left with only bones in an instant.
Then there was roasted camel legs, roasted lizard legs, anyway, the little white fox ate most of the meat that was served, and the green snake and the peacock fairy all politely refused to come out to eat meat, obviously still having some scruples.
An hour later, the little white fox burped with satisfaction, his little mouth and paws were full of grease stains, his belly was round, and his face was happy.
After Lei Luo placed it on the chair beside her, the girl fell asleep with a full stomach.
Now in the evening, there are more and more people in the surrounding restaurants, and after a while, the place is lively.
At this time, the peacock fairy and the green snake also came out, and Lu Linglong took the little white fox back to rest, of course, this woman didn't have to rest, but after reading the layout of the restaurant, she was ready to go back to paint.
Lei Luo and the three of them tasted the wine, while eating dessert after the meal, and listened to the chatter around them in the hall, and the peacock fairy was very reserved and ate dessert one bite at a time, and the amount of food was not much lower than that of the little white fox.
"The Imperial Spirit Sect has recently suppressed the purchase price of demon beasts too low, and it has been pressed by thirty percent before, why do you have to press it recently, and we will not be able to do business if we press it any longer!"
"But no, now everyone has no profit, you said that we have hunted demon beasts with great difficulty, aren't they all piled up in our hands, and the bait expenses of demon beasts, these are all spirit stones for white flowers!"
"What's the solution, now that the Imperial Spirit Sect has begun to lower the price, it is said that they have also greeted other sects in Nanhongzhou, and asked them to also lower the price together, and they can't raise the purchase price privately. ”
"Then if this continues, everyone will have no business to do, and we will all go drink the northwest wind!"
A few men dressed as wealthy businessmen in the vicinity began to comment, complaining from time to time about the recent market of demon beasts-trading, and expressing their dissatisfaction with the Royal Spirit Sect's low purchase price of demon beasts.
"I heard that, it seems that some time ago, the Imperial Spirit Sect suffered a big change, and several elders fell in the sect at once, so it is so cost-saving, and I want to save resources and cultivate a few more elders!"
"Where did you get this news from, why don't we know it?"
"Hehe, I heard this news from the owner of our trading house, and he has Huangshamen behind him, and this news is what he heard from Huangshamen. ”
"Coincidentally, my family's owner also got news from the Black Wind Sect, saying that this time the Imperial Spirit Sect suffered heavy losses, and it was not even as simple as the fall of a few elders!"
"There is some truth in what you say, didn't you see that the people of the Imperial Spirit Sect didn't plan to adjust the price back at all, and even according to their meaning, they had the intention of knocking us firms!"
"According to me, the Imperial Spirit Sect is also domineering enough, then the Yellow Sand Sect and the Black Wind Sect are also first-class sects in our Southern Hongzhou, if they join forces, they may not be able to compete with the Royal Spirit Sect. ”
"I can't say that, no matter how strong the Huangshamen is, I don't think they will threaten the hegemony of the Imperial Spirit Sect, and I am even willing to be the leader of our Southern Hongzhou!"
"Brother Luo is talking about those barbarians?"
"Yes, it is those people, Nanhongzhou has been harassed by barbarians since ancient times, and those people have always regarded Nanhongzhou as their own territory, and they covet the land of my Nanhongzhou all the time, and even covet the entire ** domain, with the Imperial Spirit Sect sitting here, they can deter those barbarian monks!"
"Yes, yes, the strength of the Imperial Spirit Sect is strong, and it can indeed deter the barbarian domain, if it is replaced by the Yellow Sand Sect and the Black Wind Sect, it will indeed be weaker!"
After hearing the news, Lei Luo, who was in the distance, poured himself a cup of clear, but he was a little helpless in his heart.
Because the things that the Imperial Spirit Sect did were obviously related to the group of people he killed when he chased and killed the Aoi Demon King.
Among those people, half of them were monks of the Imperial Spirit Sect, and they were helpers invited by the Danding Sect at a great cost, but they were all killed by him, which led to the Royal Spirit Sect's crazy move to lower the purchase price of the demon beast.
However, it is also possible that this sect has been planning for a long time, and that incident is just a fuse.
After all, he had also heard some gossip that the Sandbank City Commercial House had privately raised the price of demon beasts, and the Imperial Spirit Sect might have already planned to beat them.
But these messages were only about the Imperial Spirit Sect and Sandbank City, and Lei Luo didn't want to hear any of them.
However, just as he wanted to leave, in the corner on the other side of the distance, several Jindan monks who were not weak in cultivation actually turned on the soundproofing ban, which made him probe his divine sense quite curiously.
"This time, the sect sent me to monitor the people of the Imperial Spirit Sect, and in my opinion, the other party is determined to go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons this time!"
"Oh, are they really leaving?"
"Yes, the people and horses are almost assembled, there are more than 100 monks of the same level like you and me, not counting those Yuan Infant Stage elders who see the head and the tail of the dragon, it seems that the Imperial Spirit Sect does have a big move!"
"This is also normal, so many elders have fallen at once, and they can only focus on the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, after all, this sect is famous for its royal beasts, and catching more high-level demon beasts can make up for some losses!"
"So what does Zongnai mean?"
"What else can I do, it has always been that attitude, the barbarian domain monk has always threatened our ** domain, the Imperial Spirit Sect is the force that deters the barbarian domain, of course we hope that he will become stronger and stronger!"
The conversation of these people reached Lei Luo's ears, and his eyes lit up, and he finally knew some news he wanted.
Then after carefully observing a few people, he found that the spiritual power of the earth attribute around the other party was circulating, and it should be the monk of the Yellow Sand Gate.
"It seems that because of the threat of the barbarian domain, the Huangsha Sect and other sects can only monitor the Imperial Spirit Sect, and dare not touch them!" Lei Luo analyzed.
After knowing the news, he didn't plan to delay, and after eating and drinking, he left the Pearl Restaurant with the Peacock Fairy and the Green Snake, and found an inn in the center of the city to repair it.
It's said to be repaired, but it's just relying on the location of this place to monitor whether there is any abnormality in the vicinity.
All he had to do was wait, wait for the people of the Imperial Spirit Sect to act, and then he could follow the other party into the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
