Chapters 468-469
The new book "Tianzhu Villa" has been released, urban farming text, seeking collection.
The other warriors in the tribe thought that Li Mu and the others were prisoners of war captured by their princess, and they took out the chains and were about to come over, but they were stopped by the commander named Kai who drove them back. It was as if Kay's prestige among the tribe was extremely high, and the warriors of the other tribes looked at him with a hint of 'worship' in their eyes.
Li Mu nodded gratefully to Kayi. Then, the man from the grassland smiled and nodded at Li Mu, and said in jerky language: "Please come with me, I will arrange the best camp for you." ”
While speaking, someone had already taken away the horse in Li Mu's hand. Following Kay through a few tents, he walked into what seemed to be a 'separate courtyard'.
Each camp here has its own small courtyard, which looks unique. Kay smiled awkwardly and said, "The county lord has encountered some problems, and he may have to come back later." You can rest here first, and if you need anything, just ask. ”
"Yes, thank you very much, Commander Kay. Li Mu thanked him.
Everyone left, and Jiang Chengcai asked, "Senior brother, why do we want to come here, isn't it okay to go back directly?"
Su Yang looked a little embarrassed, and Li Mu patted Su Yang's shoulder: "It's okay, we don't have anything important anyway." ”
According to Su Yang's cultivation, it seemed a little troublesome for him to solve the problems here by himself...... Although there are no people in the tribe who are highly cultivated, there are many of them!!
Li Mu was already lying on the only big bed in the tent. Jiang Cheng smiled, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, we haven't been to the Western Grassland, and this time we went to the Summer Hot Forest to die again." Now it's time for a getaway after an adventure. ”
"Thank you. Su Yang sincerely thanked him.
The day that followed. Li Mu and Jiang Cheng were indeed treated as VIPs. No matter what kind of requirements you have, you can meet them one by one. The only thing is that you are not allowed to leave the tent!
At the beginning, Jiang Cheng could barely bear it on the first day. But when he opened his eyes from his cultivation, it was already the afternoon of the second day. I hadn't seen the Prairie Lord for a whole day, and I hadn't seen Kay again. Finally, when Commander Kay personally brought lunch, Jiang Cheng was furious.
"Commander Kay, I know you can understand what I'm saying. Now, you listen to me!" Jiang Cheng grabbed his collar and took a deep breath: "Give you two choices, first." Let me see your landlord as soon as possible. Second, if we don't see her for a cup of tea, we'll leave. ”
Jiang Cheng has a reason to be angry, he can't see the main owner for a day and a night, and no one will be in a good mood.
Kay was terrified, what if they did go......? The county lord has not come out of the chief's tent since he came back yesterday, how can he report it?
And at this time, the curtain of the tent had been opened, and the familiar figure of the lord of Lily entered.
She looked at the people in the tent and bowed deeply!!
Su Yang hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and the Lily County Lord bowed again. "Distinguished guests, Lily knows that you are all people who have cultivated through the heavens and the earth. Please, save the Sheep Totem Tribe!"
Li Mu smiled bitterly: Feelings, this Lily County Lord regards himself and others as a saint-level powerhouse.
"How can we help you?"
"We steppe people guard a forbidden place, and I hope that a few distinguished guests will escort me there!" said the Lord of Lily with great piety.
"Where's the direction, and where?"
"South!"
Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's the way home." ”
Li Mu nodded to Su Yang, and Su Yang said to the Lily County Lord: "Okay, let's go with you, but faster." ”
"Okay!" After the Lily Lord finished speaking, he went down to prepare, and I have to say that their speed was indeed fast enough, and she was ready to set off in less than half a tea time.
Soon, they were on their way......
And Li Mu also knew the destination of this trip...... Summer Heat Forest !!
Li Mu almost scolded his mother for having such a good temper: I finally came out of here, and now, I actually have to return here!!
Two days later, in the evening, Li Mu and his party finally arrived at the northwestern edge of the western grassland, which is also the end of the northwest corridor, the edge of the summer hot forest!
This place is different from the summer hot forest that Li Mu and the others have visited, not only is it not hot, but it is also ...... It's also very cold!!
It's very cold here!!
Li Mu couldn't describe the weather in this place in words: it was like being in a country, summer on one side and winter on the other!
Li Mu and the others were accompanied by two self-built mercenary regiments, each of which numbered about 200 people. Self-built mercenary regiments like theirs mainly make war money. The so-called war wealth means that country A has waged a war of aggression against country B. Then, country B can hire these mercenary regiments to help country B fight back and defend it.
Generally speaking, every soldier who can join the mercenary corps is a master of the Great Sage Realm!
If the average strength of the mercenaries is higher, for example, the cultivation of each member is above the fifth level of the Great Sage Realm, then there is no need to make war profits at all, and they can go and conquer a tribe and rule here.
Sitting in the carriage at this time, the Lily County Lord seemed to smile and said to Li Mu and the others: "If you want to enter the Summer Forest, this is the only passage. Of course, there is a fee to pay. ”
Li Mu nodded and asked, "What kind of broken place is this, and there are still people stationed here?"
"The warrior of the lion totem tribe. The Lily County Lord's eyes darkened for a moment, and he quickly recovered, and said with a smile: "Originally, it was supposed to be garrisoned by our sheep totem tribe, after all, this place is the closest to our tribe, but it's just ...... The Lion Totem Tribe took advantage of the war with the Wolf Totem Tribe and forcibly occupied this place. ”
"Then at this time, if we bring so many sheep totem warriors over, will they let us pass?" Jiang Cheng asked with some concern.
Lord Lily said, "Don't worry. They only have a total of two regiments of troops stationed here, and if the sheep totem tribe wants to regain the level, they will do it a long time ago. We figured they wouldn't stop it. ”
The three of them were talking in the carriage. The captain of these five hundred warriors outside. The warrior named Kay had already spoken to the officer stationed at the checkpoint. At the sound of the order, the carriage turned and turned, and drove leisurely into the checkpoint, entering the edge of the summer hot forest -- the world of fierce beasts!
Li Mu was speechless about this, the summer hot forest, the place where no one in the Fengyang Continent wanted to come, but he didn't expect that there was such a tribe and a group of races, and they regarded this place as a fragrant dumpling.
Entering this level can only mean entering the edge of the Summer Forest. It does not mean entering the summer hot forest. Don't look at so many mercenary regiments entering this world of monsters, but they will definitely not enter the real summer hot forest!
Hearing the noisy sound outside, Li Mu lifted the car window to look out, but saw that there were many half-step Great Saint Realm powerhouses standing at this entrance, and even a few cultivators had already entered the Great Saint Realm!
So many people stood quietly in the wind and snow, as if waiting for something.
The county lord of Lily seemed to see Li Mu's doubts and explained, "These are all people from small tribes. Here they are waiting for a large mercenary regiment to hire them. Don't look at the strength of those mercenary regiments, but there are very few real masters. Enter this world of demon beasts, if there are not a few masters with extraordinary strength in the team. It's also a no-no. ”
Li Mu nodded as if he didn't understand, he knew. The superlative master mentioned by the Lily County Lord is just a person from the second or third level of the Great Saint Realm.
As he spoke, Kay and several other warriors had already walked up to the side of several soul cultivators, muttering something to them in Prairie dialect, as if they were bargaining, because Li Mu heard a bunch of numbers.
Lord Lily continued, "This time we have to cross the Summer Forest, so we must also hire some masters...... It's just, hey. I guess it's hard to get hired. ”
Of course, Li Mu understood what she meant. Even if those masters are down, at least they will survive. No matter how much money you give to others, do you have a life to earn or not to spend a fart?
Was there ever a man who managed to make it through the summer forest?
No!!!
With this alone, no one will join their side. Unless the other person is an idiot!!
But......
Li Mu thought of another possibility: the passage through the Summer Heat Forest that the Lily County Lord said was definitely not really passing through the Summer Heat Forest, because, even the Holy Rank powerhouses could not pass through the place, they could do it?
Don't!!
Soon, Kay returned, whispering something to Lord Lily. Lily sighed and said to Li Mu: "Kay said that they will not enter Xitu Ridge even if they are given any amount of money, but they can escort us through the world of this demon beast......"
At that moment, a man who looked to be in his thirties walked over and muttered a bunch of Prairie dialects to Kayi. Then, Kay replied with a serious face, and listened to the man say a bunch of things as if he was quibbling something.
After a while, Kay approached the carriage and deliberately said in a language that Li Mu could understand: "County Lord, they are the commander of one of the two mercenaries who entered here with us just now, and he hopes to accompany us. ”
Lily glanced at Li Mu, as if she was asking for Li Mu's opinion. Li Mu asked Kayi outside through the car window, "How many men and horses are there, and what is the purpose of this trip?"
Kay replied, "There are two hundred and twelve of them, and they all have nine knots of cultivation. The purpose this time is ......" At this point, Kay took a deep breath and continued, "Just like us!"
"What?!" Princess Lily exclaimed, and a smile broke out on her face. If you can go on the road with such a mercenary, wouldn't the safety be greatly guaranteed?!
The geography of this monster world started out pretty well, and it was a plain with a flat river. Although there was a lot of snow on the road, it did not affect the march. But in the evening of the next day, everyone finally entered the core area of this monster world, the forest.
Faced with the snowy forest, the crowd had to abandon their horses and carriages. I walked all the way into the forest on my legs. It was slightly better for soul cultivators like Li Mu and Jiang Cheng and Sabel, but it was a pain for the Lily County Lord who did not have the slightest cultivation. Although she was also wearing a heavy fur coat, under the effect of the snow and strong winds, everyone still had to walk for a while to rest for a while.
"Damn the weather......" Under such natural conditions, Li Mu couldn't help but complain. As soon as he opened his mouth, a large amount of drifting snow blew into his mouth, and the bitter snow water made him feel retching for a while.
After another hour of marching, Kay and Sabel (the leader of the mercenary group that he later joined) simultaneously ordered to rest in place. At first, people also tried to light bonfires to keep warm, or set up tents to shelter from the wind and snow. But under such natural conditions, the bonfire could not be lit at all, and the tent could not be erected at all!
Any strong person with a high level of cultivation will appear so weak under natural conditions. Even though they can activate the law power in their body to keep warm, but that consumption is too great! Here you can release the law power, but you can't restore the law power at all.
In other words, use as much as you want!
During the break, the commander of the Sabel Corps found a soft leather armor for Li Mu to protect him from the cold. Jiang Cheng also put on a heavy armor. Leaning under the branches, Li Mu felt that the snot on his face had frozen into crystal ice ballast, and when he rubbed it hard, it seemed that the skin and flesh were about to fall off, and Li Mu's tears of pain were about to flow out.
Commander Sabel didn't know when he had come to Li Mu's side, tried his best to block the wind and snow with his armor, and said loudly: "Brother Li Mu, if you walk a little further, you should go to the outskirts of the core, which is also one of the places where demon beasts have the most frequent activities......"
Monster ...... Isn't it just a more powerful beast, but don't meet an ancient beast!
Li Mu prayed secretly in his heart.
Commander Sabel seemed to gasp for breath for a while because of the lack of oxygen, and then continued: "I don't know how many mercenary regiments have come here, ready to hunt demon beasts. But there are very few people who can actually get out alive. ”
Li Mu nodded vigorously and said loudly, "Isn't the road ahead of us very dangerous?"
"What??" asked the Captain of the Sabel Corps. Under such natural conditions, even Li Mu's voice had been blown away by the wind and snow. Then, Li Mu leaned close to Sabel's ear and said loudly: "Isn't the road ahead of us very dangerous?"
Commander Sabel heard Li Mu's words clearly, gasped twice, and shook his head vigorously: "It's okay! The demon beasts there generally don't take the initiative to attack humans, unless humans take the initiative to attack them......"
Li Mu twitched the corner of his mouth: What kind of place is this!!
If I had known this, I should have returned directly to the Jade Empire and come to this bird place to suffer this sin? )
