Chapter 330: Tracing (2)

The climate here is much drier and hotter than that of Xue, with strong sunshine.

As a result, the color of the city is very monotonous, basically earthy yellow, and there are few green trees to be seen.

Most of the houses are flat-roofed and square-shaped, and the walls are made of rammed earth. Open the skylight for lighting, and the four walls do not open the windows and only leave the door.

There is also a grape trellis on the top of the small courtyard, and the branches and leaves of the grapes block the sunlight for people to enjoy the shade.

The temperature here changes dramatically, with a large temperature difference.

It was still a little cold last night, and everyone was dressed in leather jackets.

But as the heat suddenly rises after dawn, as if in a furnace, people wear light gauze and thin clothing.

This style is very similar to the Western Regions that Jiang Yuan visited in the previous world.

As the sun gradually rises, many residents can be seen fetching water.

The Yongan Mountains to the east of the city are covered with snow all year round due to their high altitude.

The small river that leads down from the Yongan Mountains flows into the moat, and also flows into a large pool in the city, through which the culvert extends into the small pools in the city.

In addition, there are many wells in the city. Obviously, water is extremely important for the city.

Last night's war subsided in a strange state under Jiang Yuan's strong intervention.

However, the damage caused by the war will not be eliminated in a short period of time.

Smoke can be seen rising from the burning of buildings in the city, and people in the streets are constantly cleaning up blood stains and collecting lost blades and armor.

As for the dead bodies, they were already devoured by a group of demons and zombies last night, saving people the work of transporting the corpses and burying them.

On the street, the pedestrians he met were very frightened by Jiang Yuan.

Before they met Jiang Yuan, the civilians had already avoided it.

Occasionally, some pedestrians couldn't avoid it, so they raised their right hands back, then pressed them on their chests, and bowed to Jiang Yuan to make a unique salute.

Jiang Yuan ignored the living people and wandered around the street by himself:

"If the dryad hadn't been asleep, it would have been fun here......

Dryad Lin Yulin has a strong curiosity about anything and always finds fun.

Although she was very annoying to chatter all day long, but now that she fell asleep quietly, Jiang Yuan was a little unaccustomed to it.

On the edge of a small pool in the distance, a family of four was fetching water with buckets.

The middle-aged man was dressed in a garment common in the city, with a soft linen undershirt and a white robe on the outside, exposing his right shoulder.

Next to him was a beautiful woman of nearly thirty years old, a lovely girl of fifteen or sixteen, and a thirteen or fourteen years old.

Their costumes are also ordinary, wearing sleeveless simple long dresses with a belt around the waist, showing off graceful curves.

The women's hair is not tied in a bun, but hangs down naturally. The sleeveless robes exposed their slender arms, which were adorned with armbands.

Although the husband and his beautiful wife sometimes look sad, they are inevitably laughing and laughing when they talk to their two daughters.

Although last night's war made them full of doubts and fears about the future, they also had their own optimism.

At this time, the sheriff hurriedly came to Jiang Yuan's side with a few soldiers.

Sensing Jiang Yuan's gaze at the family of four, the sheriff with a curly beard on his face was thoughtful.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Yuan asked.

The sheriff hurriedly replied:

"City Lord, the wild people in the city have found it, and now they are waiting for the city lord in the place where we discussed last night. ”

Jiang Yuan nodded, and then walked towards the place that the sheriff said.

It wasn't until Jiang Yuan walked away that the sheriff began to give a few orders to the soldiers beside him.

Then the group of soldiers came to the family of four by the pool with a fierce look, and in their stunned gaze, the soldiers raised their wooden spears, knocked the husband to the ground, and beat him continuously.

The wife and two daughters cried out in horror and begged for mercy, but the rest of the soldiers quickly tied them up with ropes and took them away.

......

When Jiang Yuan came to the house where he had discussed affairs last night, he heard a roar inside.

As he entered the room, he saw only two men in animal skin robes, with long and unkempt hair and beards, firmly held down by several soldiers.

Jiang Yuan came to the two men:

"This is the wildling?"

One of the soldiers hurriedly replied:

"Ghost King...... City Lord, these are the two wild people in the city, they are from the Black Leopard Tribe. ”

Savages, in this land, are a special kind of living beings.

They disobeyed the rule of the Jiang Kingdom, wandered outside the royal law, lived in treacherous places, and lived with wild beasts all day long, with their own tribes and chieftains.

And in the land west of the city of Xinjiang, there are many wild people.

Occasionally, they would send people to the city to sell some animal skins and bones in exchange for some goods. Other than that, they do not come into contact with the inhabitants under the transformation of King Kang.

Then, the soldier was seen whipping the two savages with a whip on their heads and faces:

"The city lord has something to ask you, be honest with me!"

The soldier fought for a long time and began to run out of breath.

But the two savages still roared in another peculiar language, and their eyes were full of unruliness, and if it weren't for the fact that several soldiers were pressing them, they would have already risen up.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to leave.

Several soldiers hesitated, but still let go of the two wild people as Jiang Yuan ordered, and then left the room.

Although the two wild people were furious before, they did not attack Jiang Yuan after they were freed, but quickly calmed down and saluted Jiang Yuan with the unique etiquette of the city.

Then one of the savages spoke:

"Noble New City Lord, we have seen your power last night. We have always obeyed the rules of the city, and I wonder what you have ordered us to summon us?"

Jiang Yuan asked directly:

"I want to know all about the Shadow Swamp. ”

As soon as they heard the Demon Shadow Swamp, the two savages showed horror on their faces.

The savage struggled for a moment, and then spoke:

"The Shadow Swamp, it's a place that only the dead dare to set foot in. Anyone who enters that swamp will lose their way home forever. All the tribes west of the high walls have not dared to step into them for hundreds of years. Perhaps, only Queen Nanchen and her group of women would dare to peek into the darkness of the Demon Shadow Swamp. ”

"Queen Nanchen?" Jiang Yuan asked, "Where can I find her?"

The wild man replied:

"It's on the edge of the Shadow Swamp, near the mountains north of Kunyou City. The civil officials in Kunyou City were able to find their traces. ”

Jiang Yuan frowned slightly, it seems that there is nothing to be found in Jiangluo City, and only by going to Kunyou City can he get useful information.

The wildman hesitated for a moment, then continued:

"Venerable City Lord, the Shadow Swamp is an ominous place, awash with death and decay. Even if the city lord has an army of demons, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape from it in its entirety. According to the words of the eldest elder of our Black Leopard Tribe, it is the domain of gods and demons, and earthly forces must not be allowed to peep. ”

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, and after the two wild people saluted again, they hurriedly retreated.

As for the gods and demons in the mouths of the wild people, whether they are gods and demons in the true sense, Jiang Yuan is not sure.

For this mortal world where mortals are at the same time, far from the powerful power of the Gong family, I am afraid that slightly more powerful people or demons will be regarded as gods and demons by them.

"I still have to go to Kunyoucheng, I don't know if Yang Mu's persuasion was successful......

After discussing last night, Jiang Yuan let Yang Mu ride out of the city and went to Kunyou City to persuade him to surrender.

As for whether Yang Mu really went to persuade him to surrender or escaped without permission, it didn't matter.

As long as Jiang Yuan personally went to Kunyou City, and the city lord named Nie Chuan did not surrender, there would be only one way to die.

Jiang Yuan was about to leave, but saw the sheriff enter the room in a hurry.

I saw the sheriff pulling a rope in his hand, and three women with tears on their faces were tied to the rope. Jiang Yuan recognized it, it was the beautiful woman and her two daughters in a family of four he had seen by the pool.

"City Lord, these three women want to be able to serve the City Lord!"

The sheriff's face was full of flattering smiles:

"You three come on, isn't that so?"

The three women had a forced smile on their faces, and the beautiful woman gritted her teeth and replied:

"I beg the lord of the castle to have mercy on ......"

Jiang Yuan reluctantly said to the sheriff:

"There's something wrong with you, right? People are a good family, you have to break them up. Don't think I don't know what kind of means you used, and let them all go!"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, he left the room with a step.

The sheriff didn't expect the horse's fart to be slapped on the horse's leg, and his heart was scared and frightened.

He thought that if he could please Jiang Yuan, he would be able to protect himself from being eaten by demons and ghosts, but he didn't know that it led to such a result.

The sheriff could only vent his uneasiness on the three women, believing that it was the reason why they failed to please Jiang Yuan.

He slapped the three women in the face for a while before he untied the ropes from them and promised to release the man from prison as well.

......

At the four gates of Jiangluo City, there were zombies standing under black robes.

Their gaze projected from the veil greedily converged on the living in the distance.

If it weren't for the four city gates, where there were powerful demons such as Aunt Hong, Fat Man, Big-headed Ghost, Hanged Ghost and One Eye, I am afraid that these zombies would have been unable to hold back and eat people.

The living people also dare not approach these zombies and demons, and avoid them as far as they can.

Jiang Yuan found Aunt Hong, put her back into the beast spear as a weapon spirit, and after staring at the rest of the demons, he flew up and went straight to the sky.

From above, Jiang Yuan can take in the surrounding landscape.

Dozens of miles to the east of the city, there is a long, dilapidated city wall that stretches from the south to the far north.

It is said that it was also used to ward off enemies in the Shadow Swamp, but it can be seen that it has been abandoned for a long time, and many of the walls have collapsed into disrepair.

In addition, you can see the continuous snow-capped mountains, which are the Yong'an Mountain Range.

If you keep walking towards the north of the city, you can see a road leading to Yong'an Mountain, which is the only way out of this flat land surrounded by mountains. Last night, Yang Guo's army was killed from there.

As the war was interrupted by Jiang Yuan's strength, Jiang Yuan could still see the rout army fleeing in twos and threes on the vast plain during the flight.

And continue to the north, you can reach Kunyou City, another city surrounded by mountains and flatlands.

Jiang Yuan flew all the way, although the speed of the human form could not be compared with other forms, but it was only a day's journey to Kunyou City, and the flight time was even shorter.

Therefore, Jiang Yuan didn't need to enter other forms and cause too much movement.

After flying for about an hour, as it reached noon, a city in the distance finally appeared in Jiang Yuan's sight.

Kunyoucheng has finally arrived.
