Chapter 1271: The Caravan in the Wasteland (Fourth Update)
Great Wilderness County.
The area within the Great Wilderness County is extremely vast.
Even at the speed of the Imperial Sky Monk, it would take several days to cross the Great Wilderness County.
Of course, the Imperial Sky Monk here is only worthy of the Early Realm of the Imperial Sky, and for the monks of the Imperial Sky Realm and even the late Imperial Sky Realm, the time to travel will be shortened to a certain extent.
At this time, in a certain wasteland in the Great Wilderness County, there was a convoy slowly moving forward on the wasteland.
On both sides of the convoy, there were more than a dozen monks, like guards, slowly moving along with the convoy.
At the front of the convoy, there were also several monks, but unlike the monks on both sides of the convoy, the monks at the front of the convoy were not on foot, but had spirit beasts as mounts, carrying them in front to lead the way.
This is an upper-medium caravan.
In the Babel Realm, because the territory is too vast, there will be caravans in almost every place.
These caravans vary in size and size, and their role is to move back and forth between regions.
When they shuttle, they choose to carry some goods, but the real income actually comes from other monks.
Because even in the Tongtian Realm, there are monks who are weak in cultivation, and because the territory of the Tongtian Realm is too vast, there will be endless wastelands between many cities.
So to get from one city to another, you need to pass through these wastelands.
In these wastelands, because the number of monks is scarce and there are no cities, there are often some spirit beasts, and once they encounter a monk who is alone or feels that they can deal with it, these spirit beasts will rush up and kill the monk.
Not only that, but in the wasteland, in addition to the existence of spirit beasts, there are actually more dangerous creatures.
These creatures are not special spirit animals, but humans who are also monks.
In the Great Wilderness County, such monks are called desolate thieves, which means great thieves in the wasteland, and are the nightmare of many chambers of commerce and lone monks.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the danger index of spirit beasts in the wasteland is only seven, then the danger index of these thieves in the wasteland is definitely enough to reach ten.
After all, although many powerful spirit beasts were not weaker than human cultivators in terms of IQ, in fact, most of the spirit beasts roaming the wasteland were not highly cultivated.
Therefore, for human monks, even if their strength is insufficient, as long as they use their brains well, they may not be able to escape from the mouth of the spirit beast.
But when it comes to thieves who are also monks, the situation is different.
Because the vast majority of thieves make a living by robbing houses and houses, many thieves will demarcate a special area as their own territory.
In their own territory, these thieves have an extremely accurate grasp of the terrain because they stay in it all year round, and at the same time, in order to better stop the passing monks and chambers of commerce, they will also lay some traps, like hunters waiting for their prey, guarding them for a long time.
Many monks and chambers of commerce in the past, because of their lack of experience, often fall into these traps, but if they have enough strength, they can easily get rid of them.
For example, when Xiao Dongchen and Yan Danshi went to the Great Wilderness County City, even if the road was far away, they did not choose any caravan, and at the same time, there were no accidents.
It was because the strength of both of them was extremely strong, even if they didn't look at Xiao Dongchen, just relying on Yan Danshi's cultivation at the peak of the Xuan Dynasty was enough to make all the desolate thieves dare not provoke.
Naturally, there will be no robbery on the road.
But for those monks who are not strong enough, this is definitely a nightmare, if you are lucky, those thieves will not kill, and you can save a life, but if the tone is not good, then there is only one end, and that is death.
Therefore, in this case, some powerful chambers of commerce have become the first choice for many monks to travel between cities.
You only need to pay a certain amount of spirit stones, you can become a passenger in these caravans, and with the caravan, you can enter from one city to another together.
Because the scale of these chambers of commerce is large and small, the spirit stones collected are also different.
The larger the Chamber of Commerce, the higher the security, so the more spirit stones will be collected.
And some small-scale chambers of commerce, although the amount of spirit stones collected is very small, the danger factor is much higher.
Therefore, for many monks, how to choose a chamber of commerce is also a rather difficult choice.
At this time, this chamber of commerce is a medium-sized chamber of commerce.
The monks who followed the convoy on both sides of the team did not have a high level of cultivation, and they only had the foundation building realm.
If it was in the world where Huaxia was before, it could barely be regarded as a master, but if it was placed in this Heavenly Realm, it was a little too inconspicuous.
Even if the Great Wilderness County was only a marginal place in the Heavenly Realm, the Foundation Building Monk still didn't have too high a status to speak of.
It is precisely because of this that they can only walk on both sides.
As for the monks riding the spirit beast in front of them, their cultivation was much higher, although there were only seven of them, but each of them had already reached the realm of Tongxuan.
Especially the strongest of the seven, the cultivation has reached the middle stage of Tongxuan, and he is the leader of this caravan.
At this moment, as the caravan slowly moved along the wasteland, the monks around the caravan were looking around vigilantly to prevent accidents.
After all, the size of their caravan is only medium, and although the strength of the middle stage of Tongxuan is not weak in this wasteland, no one dares to guarantee that they will not encounter bandits who are also in the middle stage of Tongxuan or even reach the late stage of Tongxuan in this wasteland.
You must pay full attention to your surroundings, and once you see a bandit, you will choose to take a detour as soon as possible to avoid a head-on conflict with the bandits.
At the same time, in the convoy in the center of the caravan, many monks stayed in it.
Most of these monks' cultivation was between the late stage of foundation building and the early stage of Tongxuan, and there were very few monks who exceeded this cultivation.
The reason why this is so is also because if you want to join the caravan, you also need to pay spirit stones, and for those monks in the early and even middle stages of foundation building, most of them can't come up with the corresponding spirit stones, so naturally it is impossible to appear in the caravan.
As for the monks above the early stage of Tongxuan, with their strength, as long as they were not too unlucky to encounter very powerful desolate thieves, most of them already had the ability to cross the wasteland alone, and naturally they would not waste spirit stones to join the caravan in vain.
After all, even for cultivators above the early stage of the Xuan Xuan realm, the spirit stone is not blown by the wind, and when using it, it is natural to take into account the trade-offs.
