Chapter 320
After the deacon finished explaining, Haobai also made a decision, and said, "Give me a Zhongpin Cave Mansion, I'll live for a month first!"
After speaking, Haobai took out the spirit stone from the storage bag and handed it to the registered deacon.
In order not to be too high-profile, Haobai did not choose the best Shangpin Cave Mansion, otherwise he would live in the Shangpin Cave Mansion during the "foundation building period", which would be too eye-catching.
This mechanism of Taobao City is a bit similar to charging protection fees, and it is a bit of an inn accommodation and the like.
To protect people to settle down and cultivate here, they have to pay the same amount of accommodation fees, and they have to pay the fees on time every month.
Of course, if you think it's too expensive, you can also build a house outside the city to cultivate.
It's just that this Qingling Mountain Range is in the wilderness, and it needs to be cultivated to be very strong, if the strength is too weak, it is likely that the house was built on the first day, and it didn't take long for it to be eaten by the demon beast.
The registered deacon took the spirit stone in Haobai's hand, and a smile quickly appeared on his face, and said: "Daoist friends are extraordinary, they already have the cultivation in the late stage of foundation building at a young age, they must be from the Great Gate Sect!"
"By the way, members of the patrol team are being recruited here, and you can also participate in the cultivation of the later stage of foundation building, the members of the patrol team are responsible for defending Taobao City, and a medium-grade spirit stone will be issued every month as a reward, and the income from hunting demon beasts belongs to individuals, and at the same time, you can also hone your own combat experience, is the little brother willing to participate?"
Haobai: "......"
This Taobao City is really pitiful, you need to pay a medium-grade spirit stone every month to enter the city, and the patrol team that joins now can only get a medium-grade spirit stone every month.
Like Haobai, to stay in the Zhongpin Cave Mansion, a total of eleven Zhongpin Spirit Stones are needed every month.
No wonder there is a strong aura in the Qingling Mountains, and I have seen so many people coming in and out outside before, but there are not many people who are willing to stay in Taobao City, obviously because it is too expensive.
The patrol team is the defender of Taobao City, taking turns every day, and is responsible for patrolling the neighborhood to see if there are any monster attacks, so as to organize forces to resist the invasion of monsters as soon as possible.
It is precisely because of the protection of the patrol team that the people here will be willing to pay spirit stones to Taobao City every month, and they dare to stay in the city to cultivate with peace of mind.
The patrol belongs to the employment of the city lord, and naturally has a monthly salary to receive, and the members are all monks in the city, and many monks who are not rich in money will also join the patrol, while receiving salaries, while hunting demon beasts to earn spirit stones.
Of course, not everyone can participate in the patrol, at least they must be cultivated during the foundation building period to join the patrol and become a small soldier.
As for those below the foundation, many people want to join, but they are not allowed.
"No need!" Haobai refused.
After all, Haobai is not short of spirit stones, and it is mixed in a group of foundation building periods, which is not interesting.
Once you get acquainted with the unfamiliar surroundings of the Qingling Mountains, you will set off for the north, so there is no need to join any patrols for any reason.
"Okay, this is the sign of No. 26 Zhongpin Cave Mansion, for you!" The deacon registered in Taobao City handed Hao Bai a metal sign engraved with the word 26.
"With this brand, you can stay in the corresponding cave mansion, No. 26 Zhongpin Cave Mansion is located in the sixth of the second row on the east side, you can find it by looking at the house number!"
"Hmm!" Haobai nodded, and immediately walked towards the east of the city, there are not many people living here, plus it is daytime, and the people who stay in the city are basically cultivating in the cave, and some of them generally go out to hunt demon beasts at this time.
So there weren't many people Haobai saw, only a few passed by the road and then entered the shop on the side.
After all, if you want to stay here and cultivate for a long time, you will have to spend a lot of money every month, and if you don't hunt some demon beasts, it will not be enough for everyone to support it.
The eastern area of Taobao City, where the environment is elegant, and the houses are scattered and scattered, compared to other areas, this can be regarded as a rich area in the city.
Haobai quickly found the No. 26 cave house with the house number.
It is a cave house made of special materials and surrounded by a stone wall.
Entering the yard and opening the door, the interior is very clean, obviously, even if no one lives, there are usually people who come here to clean it, which saves Haobai a lot of time.
At sunset, it was dusk.
The afterglow of the setting sun paints the clouds on the horizon with a reddish glow.
After a while, the sunset gradually faded, and darkness shrouded the earth, and in the cave, Hao Bai sat cross-legged and was cultivating.
The night, the night is like ink, like a huge black cloth, boundless, covering the earth and covering the sky.
A full moon hangs in the dark night sky, exuding an icy moonlight, looking down on the vast land.
The moonlight is shining, and in the mountains and dense forests not far from Taobao City, there are a large number of individuals or teams who enter the Qingling Mountain Range and hunt demon beasts.
The night was silent, but a terrible scream pierced the silent night sky.
However, this is not the end, but just the beginning!
The screams grew from small to loud, from low to high, from less to more, followed by fights, frightened sounds, screams, cries, and all kinds of loud sounds.
In a short time, for only about half an hour, all the sound stopped abruptly.
The night was silent again, and only the cold wind mixed with the thick bloody whistling spread in all directions.
The tranquil mountains and forests have been transformed into a hell on earth, a slaughterhouse, a slaughterhouse that has been cared for by hunters.
The cold moonlight shone on the bloody corpses, all of them spared.
The corpses lay on the ground, the blood was still warm, and it was clear that the man had not been dead for long.
Dead people may not be uncommon in the Qingling Mountain Range, but the mysterious thing is that the corpses of these dead people actually began to emit a pale blood light.
One, two...... This one entered the Qingling Mountain Range and came to hunt the demon beasts, and the corpses of dozens of dead people all emitted blood-colored light streams, blood and qi were swirling, and the light flow was surging.
One by one, they converged into one stream after another, all of which converged in a certain direction in the air.
When I looked up, I saw a ball the size of a pigeon's egg floating in the sky.
The beads were crystal clear, dripping and spinning, exuding a blood-colored brilliance, frantically swallowing the blood-colored light flowing from below.
As time passed, the blood-colored light emitted by the corpses below became less and less, and it seemed that it was about to be devoured.
The cold wind was howling, the night was dark, and the dark night looked very hazy under the light of the cold moon.
In the hazy moonlight, if you can look around, you can vaguely see the figures standing on the trees in the forest.
It was a black-robed man dressed in black, standing on top of a large number of corpses, and a monstrous aura surging around them.
