Chapter 707: Southern Barbarian Domain
South Desert City, the gate of the South City.
From the city gate, a caravan full of goods and goods walked out, and there were about 100 people in this caravan, and the costumes they wore were also quite barbaric.
There are more than 20 camel-like demon beasts in the entire caravan, these demon beasts are called 'Xingsha camels', and their bodies are much taller than camels, and the height is close to one and a half zhang if you count the hump.
These 'Walking Sand Camels' are a kind of first-class earth-attribute demon beasts, which have extremely fast mobility in the desert, and their limbs are thick and powerful, and the body surface hair has the natural ability to dissipate heat, and their endurance is extremely amazing.
Moreover, these demon beasts have a docile temperament and are easy to tame, so they are used as the foot force of transporting goods by the caravans, and generally some large trading houses across the barbarian region and the Nanjue Kingdom will raise many of these demon beasts.
The caravan's more than 20 'walking sand camels' were hung with a lot of goods, and there were saddle-like cushions between the two humps, and there were also seats on the left and right sides of the hump that could carry people.
Lei Luo was riding on a walking sand camel at the moment, and on the seats on the left and right sides were Youwu and Manying, with a white fox lying on her shoulder.
Lu Linglong leaned behind her, her pretty face was full of joy.
"This is the first time I've seen this kind of demon beast, and this desert color, it's so beautiful," Lu Linglong looked at the surrounding desert scenery and said excitedly.
The little white fox also wagged its little fluffy tail, and cheered with joy, it seemed that it was the first time to come to the desert area, and the little girl's mind was the same.
The group could have flown across the desert, but Lei Luo vetoed the proposal, not because of his playfulness, but because of the high-ranking monks of the barbarian realm.
It is said that the entire desert is monitored by an organization called the 'Temple' in the Barbarian Domain, and if a high-ranking monk flies across the area, the priests of the temple can find their traces as soon as possible.
After Lu Linglong entered the desert, he did sense a formation that although his aura was weak, it covered an incomparably large area, which also showed that the temple did have such an ability.
This information was all obtained from the beast skin book, but the content of the book was not described in this way, but it was written that the temple was a sacred place in the barbarian realm, and it was impossible for anyone to quietly enter the barbarian domain without the eyes and ears of the temple.
Lei Luo naturally scoffed at these false rumors, and guessed that this desert must have a magic circle or prohibition that could sense the whereabouts of monks, and the result was obviously correct.
The purpose of their group coming to the Barbarian Domain is not a good thing, so it is best to conceal their whereabouts, which is why they have such a way to infiltrate the caravan.
Lu Linglong's formation attainments are indeed high, as soon as he entered the desert, he discovered the disadvantages of this formation, as long as he does not leave the ground and advances at a very fast speed, this formation will not be able to find himself and others.
After a few hours, it was getting late.
The caravan spent the night in the desert, and the night in the desert was different from the day, not only was it extremely cold, but there were also some nocturnal monsters around.
So the caravan of more than 100 people and more than 20 sand camels all gathered together, lit a bonfire in the middle, and then discussed in a low voice, and relied on the flame to heat some food.
Lei Luo and the three of them were also on the side of the campfire, but the people around them all looked at them in awe, and deliberately kept a distance of three or four feet.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a ruddy face cautiously walked over, holding a tray with a huge leg of mutton and a pot of drinks on it.
"Immortal Master, this is your meal tonight, please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality!" the man said with a respectful face.
Lei Luo smiled faintly, then took the food, and after chatting with the middle-aged man for a few words, he sent the other party away.
As soon as the leg of mutton arrived, the little white fox began to drool.
However, under Lei Luo's advice, he could only reluctantly gnaw half of the leg of mutton, and then lay on his side unsatisfied, obviously not full.
The remaining half of the leg of mutton was gnawed clean by Sisi in Youwu's arms, and there was not even the leg bone left.
The man just now was the leader of this caravan, and the reason why he was traveling with them was because the caravan needed the escort of the immortal master, so they went to apply.
As for the reason for sending food over, it is because most of the immortal masters who escort the general escort are qi cultivators, and monks of this level also need to eat and drink, and they can't do it.
Their caravan used to hire some monks to accompany them, so they thought that the three of Lei Luo were also these immortal masters who practiced qi cultivation.
Lei Luo didn't reveal his identity, so he established an employment relationship.
The caravan's destination was a small tribal cluster with a population of less than 10,000 in the Southern Barbarian Domain, and even if the escort mission was over, it would also leave the desert area.
In the Southern Barbarian Domain, tribes are used as population gathering points, 10,000 people are small tribes, tens of thousands of people are medium-sized tribes, hundreds of thousands of people are large tribes, and the top ones are super tribes with a population of millions or even tens of millions.
It is said that medium-sized tribes will have 'Beast Soul Masters', and large tribes will have Beast Soul Generals who can be comparable to the Jindan period, and the super tribes will have 'gurus' who are comparable to infant monks.
As for what a 'Beast Soul Master' is, Barbarian knows a little bit about this.
It is said that there is a lack of resources for cultivating immortals in the barbarian domain, but demon beasts are rampant, so the predecessors of this place have invented another cultivation system that is different from that of monks.
This system is divided into two stages: body refining and soul refining, the body refining is a low-level cultivator, and after soul refining, it is called a beast soul master.
As for the soul refined, it is the soul of the demon beast obtained after hunting the demon beast.
The tribes of the Southern Barbarian Domain are still martial, and most of the disciples in the clan are known as barbarian warriors, and the cultivation direction of the beast soul master is also biased towards refining the body.
Once the beast soul master refines the demon beast soul, he can have some of the magical powers of the demon beast before his death, and even heard that the high-level beast soul master can also transform into a half-demon body.
The Western Barbarian Domain focuses on spiritual power cultivation, and as for the magical powers of the Beast Soul Master of the Western Barbarian Domain, there are not too many records in the classics.
The ancestor of Barbarian Ying came from the Southern Barbarian Domain, so most of the classics recorded some information about the Southern Barbarian Domain.
However, because of the age, the things recorded are also limited, and there is only so much that Manying knows.
"The Beast Soul Master of Body Refining and Soul Refining, Southern Barbarian Domain!" Lei Luo said with interest after hearing the word Body Refining.
However, this also confirmed one thing to the three of them, that is, the Southern Barbarian Domain was not the destination of Shi Manying's trip, and the method of healing the divine soul was estimated to be within the Western Barbarian Domain.
Nothing happened overnight, the next day.
The caravan continued to move forward, but this time it finally encountered a demon beast in the desert, a large group of scorpions of ordinary human size, which was a relatively common first-level demon beast 'sand scorpion' in the desert.
The combat effectiveness of these demon beasts is not high, but the tricky thing is that the scorpion tail poison sac still has toxins.
These toxins have a paralyzing effect, and ordinary Qi cultivators will be paralyzed all over the body after being tricked, and then they will be eaten by scorpions.
Moreover, the actions of the sand scorpions are all in groups, at least now there are hundreds of sand scorpions in front of the eyes of Lei Luo's people.
And in the center, there is a 'beast king' the size of three or four zhang, that is, a second-level demon beast sand scorpion.
The caravan's sand camels all roared at this time, and if it weren't for the caravan's people pulling it, the sand camel and the goods might not be safe.
However, when the caravan saw so many sand scorpions, they all panicked at once.
The team leader looked even more flustered, because they saw the second-level demon beast sand scorpion, so they were afraid that Lei Luo and the others would leave themselves and others to flee for their lives, then the entire caravan might be wiped out.
"Come on, these sand scorpions are good things!" Lei Luo smiled faintly.
Then he rushed into the scorpion group, and without exerting any magical powers, he rampaged through the scorpion group with his physical strength alone, and no scorpion could block a single punch, not even the second-level sand scorpion.
Because he was afraid that too much breath would leak out, it took him half an hour to kill these sand scorpions, and he pretended to be panting and tired afterwards.
After killing these sand scorpions, Lei Luo even packed all the corpses of these sand scorpions into storage bags, and then walked towards the caravan.
There, the team leader and the others were all excited, because among the immortal masters hired by the caravan in the past, there was no one who could fight against these sand scorpion swarms, but the immortal master in front of him did it.
"Immortal Master, are you the Venerable Beast Soul Master in the Southern Barbarian Domain?" the team leader showed a look of envy on his face, and then said respectfully.
Lei Luo naturally didn't answer this question, but said a few perfunctory words with an indifferent expression, and then returned to the team, and everyone in the caravan naturally didn't dare to ask more, for fear of angering the backer.
On the next journey, the group of people also encountered a lot of demon beasts.
But under Lei Luo's hands, these demon beasts naturally turned into corpses, and even food for a lot of people.
On this day, Lei Luo shot and killed a group of wolf-shaped demon beasts as usual, and after killing this group of demon beasts, everyone in the caravan hurriedly took out knives and began to cut and sort out the corpses.
The wolf's fur and other fur were all cut and collected by the caravan, and the wolf's corpse was broken into several pieces, most of which went into someone's storage bag.
After Lei Luo made a move, the team leader respectfully sent over a storage bag, which was filled with a certain number of spirit stones, about a dozen pieces.
"Thank you Immortal Master for your generosity, the fur of this group of demon beasts is of the highest quality, the Immortal Master can send it to our caravan, I am grateful, these spirit stones are our little heart, please be sure to accept them!" the team leader said respectfully.
Along the way, they encountered several waves of demon beasts, but the immortal master in the team was really powerful, and this demon beast could not be solved by the opponent's punch.
And the caravan has also made a fortune, in the past, these demon beasts had to spend a great price, and countless immortal masters were hired to be able to collect these materials, but now it is the same as picking them up for nothing.
And the immortal master seems to disdain these materials, as long as the flesh and blood of the demon beast is enough, those fur beast claws and teeth and other materials are not taken at all.
The team leader couldn't help it, so he sent the spirit stone, and Lei Luo didn't refuse, so he calmly ordered such a little spirit stone that he didn't like.
He didn't look down on these spirit stones, nor did he look down on those demon beast materials, and as for so much flesh and blood, it was because of the little white fox's protest.
Of course, at night, Lei Luo roasted seven or eight wolf corpses on the bonfire, almost every time he roasted a wolf corpse, just after sprinkling spices, the little white fox set out in an instant, and gnawed the wolf corpse clean at once.
After eating for nearly an hour, the little white fox still held up a round little belly, and then leaned on a blanket and fell asleep.
In comparison, Sisi is much more 'reserved', and the amount of food is only about one-tenth of that of the little white fox, and a roast wolf is almost full.
Youwu and Manying ate a few bites symbolically, because they were all clear, so they didn't have too much desire to eat these.
Lei Luo devoured one end after another, and only after he was satisfied did he settle down and breathe.
However, the amount of food they ate also made everyone in the caravan stunned, and the team leader even confirmed Lei Luo's identity, and it was obvious that the other party was the respected beast soul master of the Southern Barbarian Domain.
Only those with great supernatural powers can have such a large amount of food and strong combat effectiveness.
