Volume 2 Stirring Up the Storm Chapter 271 Embarking on the Road to the West

Previous Chapter

The mountain opening axe hovering above Fufeng's head was restless, and the axe spirit destroyed Jin Ge to make a dragon-like earthquake tremble, Qingyue was impatient!

Fu Feng clenched his fists, stretched his back muscles, and straightened his chest, the armor on his body emitted a dazzling brilliance, and strings of runes flowed on the armor like flowing water, containing supreme mystery.

This makes Fufeng full of confidence!

Here, the mountain axe on the top of the rain stone is also excited, and lightning swims away from the big axe, crackling, breathtaking!

Although there were no runes flowing on the armor on Yushi's body, there were many bright lines looming, and several golden rays of light were moving quickly along those bright lines, obviously also blessed with some kind of formation!

——————

This kind of duel-like competition has gone beyond the normal combat method of the power of the God Transformation Realm, just like a little monk who has just squeezed into the foundation building realm, holding his own defensive magic weapon, and the two sides start to compete for treasures! The result is that they can not stop until the magic weapon is broken and the person is seriously injured!

Yushi and Fufeng are like this, they gave up magic and supernatural powers, and they relied on magic weapons to collide with spears and shields!

If one party is not confident in his armor, he will not choose this way of competition. Unless, there is no killing on either side!

"Hey, two, you two take off your armor, you chop an axe, he chops an axe, whoever splits the opponent's armor first wins!

"Haha!" Nightshade's words made the two men who were fighting cocks laugh at the same time! The momentum immediately decayed! Each took the axe, and then came together, and each punched the other's breastplate!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and followed behind with a sneer and scolding!

At this moment, the original embankment and estrangement of the six people melted in an instant!

Originally, there should not be a fight between the Terran monks and the demon monks, because of the different positions and beliefs, they were divided into different camps, and the wishes of the individuals were tied to the wishes of the group!

And these wills often reflect the joys and angers, interests and rights of some people in power in the group.

The competition between the two sides is over, and everyone sympathizes with each other in the process of the competition. Of course, the competition is just a competition, not a fight for life, and it doesn't count. However, through the competition, both sides have improved greatly, not only in terms of combat power and skills, but also in the mentality of the battle!

The time to get together is always short, the time of separation has arrived, and the two parties have made an appointment to meet again, and they will say goodbye.

The four demons sent the two out of the wasteland and embarked on the road to Xihe Prefecture, the world-famous northern corridor, the green corridor in the desert, the Silk Road connecting the two continents of the east and west!

——————

After Longmen Town, the number of caravans on the road began to increase, most of them were caravans of dozens of people, and large caravans of hundreds of people were not uncommon, generally a footman was in charge of three to five camels, and a rope was strung together.

As a rule, the porter rode the first camel, the strongest and the strongest, carrying the valuable goods and the soft, followed by the next camel, carrying supplies along the way, including water and food, and the rest of the camels carrying the goods.

Therefore, the combination of 200 camel caravans is the most reasonable, and one trip is half a year!

People who walk on the Silk Road all the year round often have a strong personality, wearing armor and holding weapons, both dare to fight, and are sleek and sophisticated!

However, they were ordinary people after all, and when it came to transporting valuable caravan, the leader of the caravan was still willing to hire one or two cultivators to escort them.

In Longmen Town, there are many cultivators who are attached to the name of the dart game, not because of the depth of their cultivation, but because of convenience and knowing the roots!

The cultivator who is hired by the camel caravan is a profession that many people envy, and people call this profession a ranger. Whether it's the story of passing the lonely journey or the conversation of a caravan camping together, countless legends about the cultivator ranger have become another scenery of the Silk Road.

The legend of these cultivators wandering the world has also become a medium-green ribbon that attracts more merchants from two continents to this green corridor, the desert! Because in the hearts of the little boys, those rangers have been deeply seared into their hearts.

These legends are inseparable from the robbers on the Silk Road!

While the Silk Road attracted merchants, it also attracted the covetousness of countless bandits, and robbery and protection were the eternal theme of the Silk Road.

Those gangs are roughly divided into several categories:

The seated type, which is usually relatively strong, has a fixed ruling area, does not rob goods, only buys road money, and only accepts caravans that can be provoked. Their existence maintains the balance of power between cultivators and robbers, and it is also a test of the reasonableness of the price of hiring cultivators in a caravan! A caravan with a powerful cultivator can not buy the account of a sitting robber, but the price of hiring such a cultivator is also expensive!

The wandering type, generally twenty or thirty people, like wolves, whistling and whistling, riding fast horses to chase small camel caravans. Generally, they rob the caravan and wait for ransom. These robbers generally do not harm their lives and do not take provisions. It is the principle of fishing without drying up, and stealing and stealing!

In groups of three or five, usually several people, cooperate with each other, take advantage of the porter's inattention, cut short camel ropes, and lead away one or two camels, or, while the caravan is resting, steal the caravan's valuables. This kind of bandits, one blow for a thousand miles, one blow for thousands of miles, a blow for thousands of miles, makes people very headache.

Lone wolf type, these people either have a vendetta, or a strong purpose to forcibly take valuables, or for the sake of fame, in short, the lone wolf has no moral constraints, no morality, and has the greatest variables. Often, one person can make a caravan disappear, and more often than not, become a stepping stone for a practitioner.

These lone wolf bandits are often resisted and even strangled by various forces on the Silk Road, including bandits who are robbers.

Because, no matter who knows, the caravan is the origin of the Silk Road, no matter who can obtain reasonable benefits, but destroying the caravan is to shake the cornerstone of everyone's survival.

——————

This trade route was extremely important to the states of Shenzhou and Xihe, and at the same time brought rich taxes and goods to the countries along the route. As a result, all forces tried their best to maintain the peace of this trade route, maintain the balance between the various forces, and jointly resist and limit banditry!

It is impossible to exterminate the robbers, and there are more than 30 large and small city-states and countries on the Silk Road, which are not subordinate to each other, and it is impossible to act in unison. What's more, some city-states are robbers in the first place, and they have been bandits for generations, which is the way of survival that has been engraved in the bone marrow.

There are also Daiyue clans and a certain generation of the Celestial Empire in Shenzhou who tried to unify the Silk Road and incorporate it into the empire. As a result, the slender area, which is 100,000 miles long and no more than 1,000 miles wide, is really not suitable for ruling and management.

Not speaking more than a dozen languages, with different skin tones and appearances, different beliefs and religions, it takes more than a month for a single message to be transmitted, plus the open submission of the city-states, the secret trouble, and the boycott of merchants everywhere.

As a result, after the two empires had to reluctantly give up after spending a lot of manpower and material resources, the Silk Road returned to anarchy.

In fact, it is still a matter of the division of interests, and the Silk Road is still suitable for the primitive natural distribution method.

The caravan does not care about the balance of profits, as long as it is predictable, long-lasting, and stable, it is nothing more than the price of the shipment! What they are afraid of is that their lives are not guaranteed, and they are afraid of unexpected costs and losses.

After walking 100,000 miles of silk road, the cost of bearing is equivalent to two to three times the procurement cost of the goods themselves, which is basically reasonable. Of course, the bulk of the money was still earned by the merchants, and the goods that passed through the Silk Road were reasonably priced at five to ten times the cost of procurement.

The Silk Road is like a big tree, raising flowers, birds, and cordyceps that cling to the big tree, and merchants are like water, nourishing this towering tree!

The merchants, who are the origins, are fully respected here, including the robbers!

——————

"Xin'er, these 100,000 miles, it will take three or five days for the sword to fly, we have chosen several large towns as rest points, Ganzhou, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, Loulan, Jingjue, Khotan, Lan's City, this Lan's City is the end of the northern corridor, which is equivalent to Longmen Town. However, there are two cities similar to Longmen Town in Xihe Prefecture, one is Lanshi City, and the other is Tiemen Pass..."

Tianxu was silent when he said this, because the meaning in Xin'er's eyes was too obvious: Brother Xu, let's hurry up and get on the road!

So, the two of them shared a sword, the clumsy seven-colored sword, piercing the sky, and the sword flew.

In the distance, a continuous jade belt stretches to the end of the desert! Surrounded by endless deserts, continuous snow-capped mountains, not only the climate is harsh, but also full of fierce places, and there are no people.

Along the way, from time to time, you can also meet the immortal cultivators who fly with the sword, and everyone seems to follow a principle, the east to west is close to the south edge of the oasis, and the west to east is close to the north side of the edge of the oasis, this green corridor is thousands of miles wide at its widest, and only ten miles at its narrowest, especially through several narrow valleys.

In order to avoid unnecessary collisions and disputes on the road, the road below is also roughly divided into two parts, and the eastbound and westbound caravans can only see each other in very few places, and they cannot see each other on most of the road. Only in some large towns can east-west caravans walk face-to-face on the same street.

One morning, the two were sweet and sweet, talking love words that they never got tired of hearing, imagining the scene of meeting Sister Xia, looking at the caravan along the way, time flew fast, and at noon, they arrived at their first foothold: Ganzhou.

In the three hours of Edgeworth, nearly 10,000 miles away, Xin'er's spiritual power was consumed by nearly one percent, and in comparison, Tianxu would consume fifty percent of his spiritual power in the Jindan Realm.

This is an important sign that the Divine Transformation Realm has entered the semi-immortal realm, and the spiritual power required to drive the same spell is getting less and less, which is the deeper and deeper understanding of heaven and earth, especially the control of spiritual energy!

Ganzhou City is a big city on the green corridor, with a radius of hundreds of miles, beautiful scenery, rich products and a large population. It was originally a rich land, but later it became a silk town, and it was coveted by various forces.

The two of them came to the outside of the main city, only then did they find a sparsely populated place to drop the flying sword, and they both went to the east gate of Ganzhou hand in hand.

A pair of handsome men and beautiful women, who are not locals at first glance, and do not look like business travelers, quickly attracted people's attention.

There is also an extremely large and special professional group in Ganzhou, that is, spies, these saucers come from various forces, and some saucers belong to different forces. These forces include the kingdoms of Shenzhou, the various immortal gates, the kingdoms and immortal gates of Xihe Prefecture, as well as the large and small robbers and the countries of the Northern Corridor.

The brothels and restaurants and casinos here are the sources of news for some spies, and a lot of information is shared here, of course, there are indispensable eyeliners of spies everywhere, under the guise of various occupations, staring at the main city gates of the east and west.

As soon as Tianxu and Xin'er stepped into the east gate, their characteristics were screened by spies everywhere and spread through various channels. Unsurprisingly, the two will inevitably be the talk of the town tonight, after all, they are too different.
