XXVIII. High platform
This is Qinshan County, close to the capital of Hao, the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and a peaceful place shrouded by the West Kunlun Mountains.
Although it is also difficult for monks or warriors to grow up here, on the whole it is definitely much safer than in the border counties. At least, most of them have not encountered any threats to the demons and weirdness that pose the greatest threat to mortals—they have all been swept away by Kunlun.
But from this point of view, the martial arts monks here are definitely not as good as the frontier county government in terms of actual combat sharpening, most of them are cultivated in the martial arts arena and in the spirit gathering array, and the realm is not bad, but if you directly fight with the good hands sharpened in those dangerous places on the border, it is still a little less interesting after all.
Now this cross-border space just makes up for this shortcoming, groups of monks and warriors are teleported in, and they will stay in it for at least a month - the mission issued by Kunlun is like this, the minimum requirement is to stay in it for a month, and if you can find new space nodes, or improve the map in it, you can also get additional rewards.
Of course, there are no cowards who dare to take the initiative to take over the tasks issued by Kunlun, these people will definitely not cower in the fortress for a month, but wander around, fighting with the demon clan from time to time, and they are unlucky to die, but those who can come out have also been tempered.
And the results of these battles were also clearly displayed in front of Huang Chang: this teleportation array was very large, and it could teleport a hundred people at a time at its limit, although there were only a dozen or so "passengers" at the moment, but the place they occupied was not small - more or less around everyone who came out was stacked with a number of demon spirits, large and small, and the varieties were also diverse.
Among them, the most is the genus of demon wolves, Huang Chang has long heard that the wolf clan is a big family among the demons in Jiulian Mountain, there are many of them, and their strength is medium, so they can adapt to it regardless of whether they fight alone. And because of his nature, he is very loyal after being subdued by the strong, and he is the little brother that the big demons like to collect the most.
In addition, there are rats, rabbits, ferrets, sheep, badgers, hedgehogs, etc., which also belong to the inferior race in the demon spirits, even after becoming a sperm, their combat power and mana are not high, and they are driven by the big demon to enter this cross-border space to be cannon fodder, and the casualties are naturally large, and they often become the prey of human beings.
Among these prey, the most high-grade are foxes, whose fur is extremely expensive and can be cut to refine runes with transmogrification effects. However, the fox spirit is cunning and has always been extremely difficult to catch, and the monk who was able to catch it was obviously of good skill and luck. Huang Chang paid special attention to it, and sure enough, he was a good player with a mid-stage realm, and he stood out among these people.
There was also a big man with a wild boar on his shoulder, although the wild boar had long since died, its thick and curved fangs were still exuding amazing spiritual pressure to the surroundings, and it seemed that it had been refined by the goblin into a life treasure. As long as it is processed properly, it is possible to refine this object into a magic weapon. This fangs alone can be sold for hundreds of spirit stones in the shops outside, and if they are taken to the Great City Merchant Pavilion, the profit will be even higher.
When these successful people came out, the crowd queuing outside consciously got out of the way, and everyone looked at them with envy, this is the chance - with these demon spirit bodies, whether they sell them or use them for their own use, their strength will be greatly improved, and they can take a big step forward on the road of cultivating immortals. Isn't it just for this moment?
After that, the teleportation array activated again, and more than a dozen people came out of it again. Then he began to operate in reverse, sending people inside, Huang Chang and the others were naturally in the first batch, and stood in the teleportation array with the personnel responsible for changing shifts within Kunlun and the team transporting food and drinking water. Including Ji Ruo, Li Zhai, Huang Xu, and Luo Chun are all among them, and even the little fat man Chen Shi was brought in to watch the excitement.
After a momentary trance, several people appeared on another teleportation array. The teleportation array in the space was not indoors, but built on a high platform, surrounded by an open space with an excellent view.
Ji Ruo looked around for a while, because he had already heard Huang Chang say that this place was extremely desolate, but he didn't have any disappointed expression, but was quite satisfied:
"This place feels much more comfortable than the other side just now, why isn't it also built on the platform?"
Huang Chang laughed:
"Because if this place is attacked, the reinforcements that have teleported here from the outside will appear on the high platform, and it will not be easy to be surrounded and killed. When teleporting from the inside to the outside, the teleportee needs to be controlled to prevent any enemies from breaking through the defenses. ”
"I see......"
Li Zhai and the others next to him were also stunned, and several people walked down the stairs to the high platform, and sure enough, they saw a number of arrow tower posts set up around them, but the height was lower than the high platform itself, which meant that even if it was occupied by the enemy, it could not threaten the people who came out of the teleportation array.
When I walked down and saw the whole picture of the high platform, I realized that the high platform itself was a fortress built here by the human race. The whole body is made of boulders, and inside is a place for the garrison to rest and stay, as well as warehouses, prisons and other spaces. The whole fortress looks like a large pyramid, only with a flat top.
This form of architecture is not commonly used by the human race, but it is often seen on the demon side. However, it is used here to complement the desolate environment around it. And after all, the construction technology of human beings is much stronger than that of the demon clan - on the side of the demon clan, most of this kind of high platform is made of soil accumulation, and the outside is wrapped with stones, and the inside is often solid, and there is not much space that can be used.
This tower is built layer by layer, only in the bottom few floors to ensure that it is purely rammed with earth and stone, but there are still facilities such as dungeon tunnels, and from the middle, it is stacked with huge stones from the inside to the outside. Large gaps are deliberately left between the stones to serve as passages and rooms. The defense personnel stationed here in Kunlun, the accommodation of foreign employees, and the rest of the various functional rooms are all in these gaps.
Huang Chang, as a disciple of the Kunlun True Tradition, already had the responsibility and right to supervise the lower court of the Western Kunlun mortal world. Not to mention that he was also one of the founders of this space, and he had also led everyone to kill the Heavenly Demons, and he was already very famous among the low-level disciples of Kunlun and the nearby scattered cultivators.
This time, he came to visit, although it was only a temporary idea, and it was also a private matter. But on Bai Hongyuan's side, he was still treated as an inspector, and soon after entering the space, the leader of the local garrison came to contact him, but at first glance, he was also an old acquaintance - a certain king surnamed who had fought the "Heavenly Demon Sacrifice" with Huang Chang at the beginning hired a loose cultivator. Because he has accepted and completed Kunlun tasks many times and accumulated enough merits, he has now become a disciple of the outer sect of West Kunlun, and he is the leader of the Taoist soldiers stationed here.
