Chapter 171: Brave New World
How long has it been, and where am I?
Out of the instinct for survival, Duan Qing will try to remember the terrain every time he goes to a place, even if he is too hurried and too late, he will also write down very eye-catching as a reference, but at first he can still see the planet, and he can even peek into the small half of the star field, but after this, it seems to have entered a chaotic period, and there is no way to distinguish it.
In the middle of the nose, there is fresh air, with a slight earthy fragrance, but also a faint floral fragrance, and between the gentle breeze, the feeling of being separated from the world is especially strong.
Duan Qing felt this way especially clearly.
He raised his eyes to look at the bright raised eyes in the forest, looked around again, raised his hand and pinched his fingers, after a few complicated changes, the index finger was a little tree trunk, and the rough and heavy bark suddenly burst open, revealing a picture on the white trunk at some point, but it was not a complex structure, just a terrain graphic.
Duan Qing carefully identified the trend of the mountain range and the direction of the water flow, and determined the location of the nearest city, which could be reached in about three hours, and it would not be dark, so he nodded with a little satisfaction, and rushed towards the general direction of the city.
For Duan Qing, who had just ascended, it could be said that he was unaccompanied, and he was naturally a little dazed in his heart, but the instinct created by his more experience was in terms of how to adapt and survive in the unfamiliar environment as soon as possible, so he didn't try to understand the world's plans, and his primary goal was to settle himself.
After walking for about an hour, Duan Qing suddenly felt a murderous aura in the air, and while his footsteps stopped instantly, his body fell down, and he flexibly turned behind a big tree and hid himself.
Immediately afterwards, between the dense forests, there was a Dao figure flashing back and forth, and from time to time there was a sound of metal clashing, their movements were extremely fast, Duan Qing felt that they did not use the spell of shrinking the ground into inches, they were all relying on their own strength, like ghosts, and under the count, there were more than twenty people.
These people are all good players above the triple stage of the Jindan period?
Duan Qing was shocked in his heart, he didn't know what was going on, he had dispatched so many masters, it seemed that the hatred between the two sides must be not small.
After Duan Qing quietly watched the battle for a while, the strength of the two sides was balanced, two people on each side were injured, and the hands of both sides gradually stopped, someone stood up to speak, and a middle-aged strong man said: "Boy, do you know the rules? The mountains and forests in this area belong to our Flying Eagle Gang, and all the production is ours, and you actually came to steal things?"
The other group led the team with a thin middle-aged man, as if he couldn't breathe, but Duan Qing looked at his steel-like hands, and knew that it was by no means an easy character to deal with, he shook his hand, brought a whine, and snorted coldly: "I only know that this area is the boundary of Xuanhua City, but I never know what the Flying Eagle Gang is, besides, we are the spirit stones found in other places, and now we are just passing by here, and we want to go to Xuanhua City to trade, what's the matter? Could it be that your gang is specifically blocking the road and robbing it?"
"Nonsense!" The strong man seemed to be not eloquent, and he didn't know how to respond, but he couldn't hold back in his heart, so he roared, raised the mace in his hand again, and waved it desperately, the thin middle-aged man snorted coldly, raised the long sword in his hand to meet it, the two sides fought in one place, one move and one style, you come and go, and soon fifty moves are not up or down, the little brothers are desperately cheering up, and it is very lively.
Duan Qing couldn't help but be stunned, from the thin and middle-aged expression, he judged that this person must be lying, the strong man was stupid and couldn't say it, only by snatching the spirit stone could he prove it, just this kind of small mountain forest produces spirit stones, it is really a world with sufficient spiritual energy!
"Whoa!"
After arguing between the two sides for a quarter of an hour, the strong man grabbed the storage bag, and the thin middle-aged man desperately protected it, but under the wrestling between the two sides, the storage bag was torn on the spot, and dozens of spirit stones were dropped, which were about the size of a fist, and the color was bright, Duan Qing felt that it was even worse than the one in his storage bag, but it was much stronger than the spirit stones on the garbage star.
At this time, as soon as the hands of the two sides saw the spirit stones scattered and fell to the ground, they stepped forward to snatch them, most of them grabbed a few pieces and ran back desperately, only for a moment there was no one left, and the strong man and the thin middle-aged man no longer argued, and each took a step back, and all ran away as if they were running away.
The speed of running away is really only the power of the Jindan stage and above the triple level.
Duan Qing couldn't help but be stunned, these great powers actually fought in this world where there was no shortage of resources and materials for dozens of spirit stones, and he finally understood at this time that the thin middle-aged man was indeed the spirit stone found in this area, and the strong man led people just to get a piece of the pie, but there was no excuse, after grabbing more than twenty spirit stones under his hands, he felt that he had earned it, so he ran away. The thin middle-aged must feel that he is not at a loss, so he will run away in the same way.
Isn't that similar to the legend?
Duan Qing was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't care about much, quietly moved his figure, and continued to march towards the city, but after half an hour, he smelled a thick bloody breath, and instinctively didn't want to check, but driven by curiosity, he still used the invisibility charm to lurk in the past, but he saw two corpses hanging on a big tree, it was none other than the strong man and the thin middle-aged man, there were more than 20 people lying around, the weapons were gone, and the spirit stone was not seen half of it, it seemed that it had really been looted.
But to be able to kill everyone in such a short period of time, the strength is quite terrifying.
Seeing this scene, Duan Qing's initial understanding of this world was shaken, and he didn't dare to stay longer, so he quietly lurked and left.
Suddenly, a pair of feet landed behind the tree where Duan Qing had stayed before, and the tall suede boots were stained with blood, and suddenly with a flick of his right hand, a black shadow flew out, making a popping sound, and then pulled out a whimper again, which exploded in the grass on the other side, and the dense grass suddenly turned into thousands of pieces.
"It's strange, I obviously feel that there are people, why is it gone? Is there a fish that has slipped through the net?"
The person who spoke was a woman, she was dressed in a strong suit, her face was covered with a black scarf, even her hair was wrapped, and she was puzzled by the weapon, which was two long black whips that were one foot long, and then peeled off a piece of bark, nailed it to the center of the pile of corpses, and wrote a few big words: "Those who trespass on the territory of the Black Eagle Hall, die!"
At this moment, Duan Qing finally walked out of the mountains and forests, and not long after walking on the fairly wide road, a carriage passed by, and he paid ten taels of silver for the fare, and finally got into the carriage.
The carriage is very wide, the facilities inside are also good, it is very clean, there are already two people rided, and they are all asleep in their own places, judging from their dress, Duan Qingjue noticed that these people are ordinary people, but judging from the heavy package beside them, they must be all businessmen, it seems that it is really like what the coachman said, as long as they get in the carriage, no one dares to stop them.
Judging from the carriage alone, this world is much more humane and perfect than the garbage star, but it is still composed of various professions, but I don't know if this world will also be like the garbage star, most of the resources and materials eventually flow into the hands of the gate faction that controls the world.
The journey was long, Duan Qing closed his eyes and pretended to sleep with the slight shaking of the carriage, and after about an hour, the carriage entered the city, and the coachman greeted, "The ethereal city has arrived, this little brother, get off." ”
Duan Qing glanced at the city gate, the ethereal city had finally arrived, so he jumped out of the carriage and stood inside the tall city gate, looking at the bustling crowd, Duan Qing sighed slightly in his heart, and then walked into a small inn.
Xiao Er, who was wearing a white towel on his shoulder, immediately greeted him: "Hello guest officer, there is only the number left in the room, if you don't dislike it, please pay here." ”
Duan Qing nodded and signaled that it was okay, so he went to pay the money, and found that he could choose from a variety of payment methods, from silver to gold to spirit stones, but the shopkeeper's words surprised Duan Qing, the silver in the ground number room actually cost three hundred taels, and the gold also cost thirty taels, and the best spirit stone only needs one piece.
Fortunately, Duan Qing was still a little wealthy at this time, and it was all given by the powerful people of the garbage star, and the spirit stone was unwilling to be used easily, so he immediately took out three hundred taels of silver from the storage bag, and the inventory was immediately reduced by one-tenth, which made him sigh that it was better to make some money as soon as possible.
With a place to stay, after eating the dinner prepared by the inn, Duan cleaned the bath and rested thoroughly for the night, when he went downstairs, Xiao Er stepped forward to ask if he wanted to check out, Duan Qing shook his head, and paid another three hundred taels of silver before going out, secretly feeling that the price was scary At the same time, he felt that he should immediately find a sect or something to join, so that not only there is a source of materials, but also food, clothing, housing and transportation have been solved, of course, the most important thing is that Duan Qing intends to obtain more knowledge through the sect.
There are not many pedestrians on the streets in the early morning, and from time to time you will see some sects in the city's halls, and they will put signs at the entrance to recruit disciples, and there are also recruitment of miscellaneous servants and the like, Duan Qing guessed that even among the tens of thousands of people, there must be positions that need ordinary people, after all, most people in the world are still ordinary people after all, and it is precisely because of their existence that the region and even the world can operate normally.
Coincidentally, the table in front of the door of a hall called Meteor Hall had been set up, and a young man was bored smoking a cigarette, but his eyes mostly stayed on the woman walking on the street, and the length of time was about to depend on the posture, as if he sensed that there was a gaze looking over, he turned his head, saw Duan Qing, and said, "What?
Duan Qing nodded, the signboard wrote that ten outer disciples were recruited, and there were a number of miscellaneous servants, according to their own cultivation, they would be outer disciples first, and it would not be a big problem to select them as inner disciples when the time was right, but if they wanted to become descendant disciples, they would probably have to face a lot of difficulties, but they should be able to overcome them, on the garbage star, what hardships have you not suffered?
As soon as the young man saw Duan Qing nodding in agreement, he immediately stepped on the cigarette butt and said, "I see that you are a career-minded person, join us, you will definitely not regret it." Okay, now for a name?"
