Chapter 16: First Arrival in the Western Regions

The second update, call for the collection to smash tickets!

――――――――――

Wang Mang flew to a height of 100 meters, looked up, and saw that beyond the forest was an endless red earth, as if it had been stained with endless blood, full of ominous and fearful.

"Is this the legendary bloodstained land, the Western Regions where countless earth demons are sealed?hehe, my cultivation journey starts here, let's go!"

The lark screamed, and it became five or six meters long, and Wang Mang turned over and sat on its back, and flew towards the ominous blood-stained place in front of him.

The Western Regions of the Ancient Wilderness are very different from the Southern Regions where the Wang family is located, the Southern Regions are vast, rich in products, and the climate is also very conducive to the growth of crops, making it a very rich place in the entire Ancient World.

But the Western Regions is different, the soil here is crimson, it looks like it is dyed red with blood, it is very ominous, and the real situation is similar, because of the existence of the Earth Demon Cave, there are many wars here, the people are poor, and the ordinary people are very poor.

The agricultural output in the Western Regions is very low, and coupled with the war, the population is also very small, and the total population of the dozen empires together is less than a billion people, which is too far from the tens of billions of people in the Southern Regions.

Although the population here in the Western Regions is not large, the people are fierce, even the elderly and women have practiced physical fitness, so no one dares to come to the Western Regions to invade them.

In addition to these bad situations, there is one thing in the Western Regions that cannot be compared with any region in the Ancient World, that is, rich mineral resources.

As the so-called success is also the devil's cave, defeat is also the devil's cave. Because of the Devil's Cave, this place has become very desolate, but also because of it, there are huge deposits of minerals underground, just iron ore, copper ore and other ordinary metals are nothing.

The most eye-catching thing is that there are also all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasure mines that cultivators can use.

The so-called heaven and earth treasure mine is the crystallization of high concentration of heaven and earth vitality, such as the golden crow rock with the surname of fire, the sea tide stone with the surname of water, the heavenly crystal with the surname of metal, and so on.

Each of these heavenly treasures can top tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Guiyuan Pills, which is a sought-after item among cultivators.

The Western Regions have such abundant minerals here, it stands to reason that it should be able to attract the power of many cultivators, but the reality is just the opposite, there is only one cultivator's power in the entire Western Regions, that is, the most combative of the ten sects of the Immortal Dao, the giant sect that can rank in the top three in strength, Zhan Tianzong.

Zhan Tianzong is the Ten Immortal Dao Sects, but his style of acting is different from the traditional Immortal Dao sects such as Yaochi, Zhan Tianzong is very warlike, and all the disciples in the sect have a very hot temper, and they are very difficult to provoke.

As long as they encounter something they are not used to, they will take action, no matter what force you are, what sect of people, even if you know that you are invincible, you have to fight.

It was precisely because all the people in the Zhantian Sect had this kind of surname that the other sects did not want to associate with them at all, and they were the only ones in the entire Western Regions.

It seems that a sect occupies a region exclusively, but in fact, no one envies them.

Because there is an Earth Demon Cave in the Western Regions, and there are even more bloodthirsty and murderous Earth Demon Clans living in the Earth Demon Cave, they will run out of the Earth Demon Cave from time to time, kill people when they see them, and even take ordinary people as food to eat, especially for cultivators, they will attack them in groups when they see them, there is no reason to talk about it at all.

Over time, the Zhan Tian Sect has become the front peak blocking the Earth Demon Clan, and every time the Earth Demon Clan gushes out in large numbers, they will all be dispatched to start a big battle.

With a neighbor who can attack you at any moment, it's no wonder that other forces are reluctant to come to the Western Regions.

Wang Mang stood on the blood-red earth of the Western Regions, took a deep breath, and actually really smelled a faint smell of blood in the air.

At this time, the heron fire flew out of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walking Diagram, "Master, you still came to the Western Regions, alas...... It's not like the Southern Regions, where there are battles everywhere, and from time to time there are big wars. When the Evil Spirit Emperor ruled the heavens and the earth, this place was already in flames of war, and the Great Emperor also led us to fight with the ancient demons in the depths of the Earth Demon Cave, and the strength of the other party was very strong, even the Great Emperor could only defeat them, but could not completely exterminate them. ”

"Oh, the Ancient Demon, is that the current Earth Demon Clan?"

"Of course not, the Earth Demon Clan is just a small character with a trace of ancient demon blood, the real Ancient Demon lives below the tenth floor of the Earth Demon Cave, where there are countless superimposed spaces, like a huge labyrinth, from time to time there are terrible space storms, natural disasters and earth disasters occur, the emperor has gone down back then, but it is also dangerous, so the master you must not go deep, even if you completely master the Hundred Ghosts Night Walking Diagram and restore its full power, it is dangerous to go there. ”

"My purpose this time is the Five Elements Demon Land on the third layer of the Earth Demon Cave, and I'll talk about the deeper places later. ”

"Alas...... Master, with your current strength, even the third layer is nine deaths, so forget it, it's too dangerous. ”

Wang Mang shook his hand, "Since they are all here, naturally we have to take a look first, you can rest assured, I will not rush to go." Let's go to the city ahead and spend the night. ”

Wang Mang performed an aura materialization not long ago, and now his body is very tired, so he can't wait to rest. Soon the lark flew hundreds of miles, and a city appeared in front of it.

The city is so thick with walls that it looks like a strategic fortress. Thousands of heavy machine tool crossbows were erected above the city, and the power of this machine tool crossbow was so powerful that if there was no magic weapon defense, even a cultivator with one or two supernatural powers would be killed if he was shot.

The lark changed back into the form of a bird and landed on Wang Mang's shoulder, Wang Mang quietly fell into the city, it was already midnight at this time, so the city was very quiet, only some inns, green buildings, and restaurants were still open.

Wang Mang walked to an inn, and as soon as he stepped in, he saw a shopkeeper, who was holding the door panel, and it seemed that he was about to close the door.

"Is the guest staying in the hotel? You came in time, and we will close the door if we are one step later. ”

The shopkeeper took Wang Mang to the counter and asked for an upper room, Wang Mang was stunned when he paid the deposit, and he thought that he didn't have gold and silver on him at all, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed.

"Little Er, can you wait, I don't have gold or silver on me now, and I'll make up for it tomorrow when I find the money?"

"This ......"

The shopkeeper's face was a little ugly, and at this moment, a loud voice came from the side.

"This guest officer's fee is all free, and there is no need to charge it. ”

When the shopkeeper saw it, he hurriedly saluted, "Boss, you haven't rested yet." ”

A slightly chubby middle-aged man walked over, Wang Mang looked at him, and found that he was just an ordinary person with no strength on his body.

"Thank you, I'll make up the money tomorrow. ”

"The guest officer is too polite, people like you can come to a small shop like ours, we are too late to be happy, how can we ask you for money." ”

Wang Mang's heart moved, and he asked, "Do you know who I am?"

The shopkeeper smiled mysteriously, "Guest officer, I'll take you to the guest room first, please here." ”

Coming to the Tianzi No. 1 room, Wang Mang walked in, and the shopkeeper followed up, and was about to tell Xiao Er to bring hot water for Wang Mang to wash, Wang Mang waved his hand.

"No need, you let him go down, I have something I want to talk to you about. ”

Sending the shopkeeper away, Wang Mang took a closer look at the shopkeeper, he really didn't have much strength, an ordinary person, but after a closer look, there was something different.

The shopkeeper's two temples are very full, unlike ordinary people who are concave inward, and his limbs are very thick, especially his hands are actually covered with calluses.

Nodding secretly, Wang Mang invited the shopkeeper to sit down and smiled slightly, "Just now you said that people like me know cultivators?"

"The guest officer is indeed a cultivator, it seems that I am not mistaken. ”

Wang Mang looked at himself, "How do you see it? I should be no different from ordinary people." ”

The shopkeeper smiled, "If you patronized our small shop half a year ago, I would not have seen it, but in the past six months or so, there have been a lot of masters like you, and I have seen more and naturally practiced a little eyesight, plus your temperament is extraordinary, and the difference between you and ordinary people is still very big." ”

"Oh, so you've had a lot of cultivators here in the last six months?"

As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper was confused, and asked, "Guest officer, aren't you here for the hunting team?"

"I haven't heard of it, and I'll tell you the truth, I'm traveling the world, and I've heard that the Wild Ancient Western Regions are rich in minerals, and I want to try my luck, but I don't know what a hunting team is. ”

"I see, guest officer, there were people like you in the past, and if you are lucky, you can indeed dig up some good things. But in the last half a year or so, I'm afraid I don't have a chance. ”

Wang Mang was stunned, "Why is this?

The shopkeeper nodded, "I just heard that it seems that the Zhan Tian Sect is recruiting some idle cultivators to form a hunting team to deal with the Earth Demon Clan, I don't know the specifics, but I think it is related to the recent movements of the Earth Demon Clan." You may not know that in the past six months, the Earth Demon Clan has become more and more rampant, and in the past, only dozens or hundreds of people came out to do activities, but in the past six months, tens of thousands of Earth Demon Clans have often broken out, making it so troubled that no one dares to live in several cities near the Earth Demon Cave, and it has become a dead city. It's too far away from us, otherwise I would have moved a long time ago, and I would have dared to open a store. ”

Wang Mang was a little surprised, he didn't expect that he had just arrived in the Western Regions, and he encountered something unusual. I asked in detail, but the shopkeeper knew so much that he couldn't ask anything.

Wang Mang probed into the nocturnal diagram of the hundred ghosts with a trace of divine thought, opened the red cover furnace and collected a red sun fire from inside, gathered it into an elixir and took it out.

"Shopkeeper, this is Chiyang Pill, ordinary people can eat it to get rid of all kinds of diseases and strengthen their bodies, so it will be regarded as the store money I paid. ”

The shopkeeper was taken aback at first sight, "This ...... How dare you do this, what is the money of a few stores, how can I ask for your elixir, no, no. ”

Wang Mang smiled, "It's not that exaggerated, it's just an ordinary pill I made casually, and the real elixir is impossible for ordinary people to take." Take it quickly, there are not many opportunities like this, and you may regret it for the rest of your life if you miss it. ”

The shopkeeper was very excited, for them, cultivators were immortals, and the things in their hands were naturally treasures, he had seen two groups of thieves fight over an elixir refined by cultivators, and hundreds of people were killed and injured.

Now that a cultivator actually gave him such an elixir, he didn't want it to be a strange thing.

After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't dare to accept it, Wang Mang saw that he used his aura to crush the Chiyang Pill, and the medicinal power was directly injected into the body of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper only felt a fever in his body, and in a blink of an eye, he sweated profusely, and then it was refreshing everywhere, and even some of the old injuries he suffered when he was young were healed without medicine.

In addition to being excited, the shopkeeper turned down and bowed, and Wang Mang waved a wave of aura to support him.

"No need to be polite, I think you should have practiced the martial arts and simple breathing methods in the world, you should go back to meditate now, refine the residual power of the red sun in your body, I believe that after you completely absorb it, your body should be able to return to the state when you were in your twenties." ”

"Thank you to the immortals, the great kindness of the immortals, the villain will never forget it for the rest of his life. ”

"Okay, you go, the power of the medicine will dissipate when it's late. ”

Immediately, the shopkeeper went back to his room to meditate, and Wang Mang also lay down to rest, he was very tired now, and if he didn't rest, it would cause great damage to his body.

Just when Wang Mang gradually fell asleep, on a barren mountain two hundred miles away from this city, dozens of strange people with dark skin and black scales the size of copper coins were sitting on the ground eating, and the food they ate was actually a living person, a severed limb and severed body were placed together, looking unusually bloody and ......terrifying;
