Chapter 250: Cold Water Oasis
"Yes, the Bone Wasteland is extremely vast and endless, and it is also a natural barrier for our Western Rock Kingdoms to resist the invasion of the Barbarian Domain. "Lu Xincheng is from an extraordinary background, this vision and insight are not lacking, seeing that Lin has been talking well all his life and has a calm demeanor, he has the intention of making friends.
And Lin Shengsheng also learned a lot of valuable information from Lu Xincheng's mouth, coupled with the fact that the other party treated him extremely warmly, and after a few words, the two quickly became acquainted.
"This place is located on the edge of the Tian Yuan Great World, don't look at the calm now, it is actually full of danger. And in the Wasteland of Bones, the biggest threat is not from the desert and hurricanes, nor from the brutes here, but from the bone barbarians!"
Seeing that Lin was an outsider all his life, he was afraid that he would not know the sinister here, Lu Xincheng hurriedly reminded kindly: "The bone barbarians are a barbarian people, advocating killing and destruction, hostile to the cultivation civilization of the Tianyuan Great World, and wars often break out with the surrounding human forces. They often slaughtered out of the barbarian realm, plundering people and goods. The human beings who were caught by the bones will end miserably, and the enslavement and whipping are considered lucky, at least they can still survive, and the unlucky ones will be dragged to dig out their hearts and lungs alive and sacrifice alive. ”
This kind of tragic scene made Lin Shengsheng, an outsider, unable to listen to it, clenched his fists, and couldn't help but be full of anger: "Do you just let these bones do evil!?"
Lu Xincheng shook his head helplessly, and replied with a wry smile: "This is also something that can't be helped, 1,200 years ago, our entire Western Yuan, the twelve kings gathered a million troops, sent troops to conquer the barbarian domain, and fought a decisive battle in the Bone Wasteland, but in the end we were defeated and lost, and we have not been able to recover our vitality so far." ”
The West Yuan is the name of this region. The total area is nearly ten times that of the wasteland. There were twelve kingdoms. The supreme rulers are the twelve kings in Lu Xincheng's mouth.
After listening to this explanation, Lin Shengsheng realized that the people here are not bullied, but they are really ruthless.
The giant sandstone monitor lizard, with its six thick claws and a belly covered in smooth scales, clings to the ground and glides swiftly through the desert.
Everywhere I went, there were waves of sand. But Lin Shengsheng, who was sitting on the back of a sandstone monitor lizard, did not feel any shaking, and the house stood steadily, no different from being built on flat ground.
This strange way of traveling, he experienced it for the first time, and it felt very novel.
Under the scorching sun, the golden sand dunes flew quickly on both sides, and it didn't take long to see that green scenery began to appear on the horizon, and it was actually a huge desert oasis!
Lu Xincheng pointed to the magnificent giant city in the center of the oasis, and introduced with a proud smile: "Two of you." Our destination is almost there, welcome to the Emerald Star in the desert, the Cold Water Oasis!"
Such accolades. It's not too much for the Cold Water Oasis, but it deserves it.
If you look down from above, you will see a magnificent spectacle: a dazzling golden ocean, a cold water oasis embedded like a piece of turquoise jade.
As the calm and joyful tones drift by, the cool breeze that is different from the desert heat and heat is accompanied by moist water vapor, which makes people feel refreshed and pleasant.
Feeling the cold and sweet water vapor in the air, Lin Shengsheng was also in a good mood, and the original boredom disappeared, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Cold Water Oasis, it's really a good name!"
The whole oasis covers an extremely vast area, a magnificent city is built in the center of the oasis, the snow-white stone wall is as high as a hundred zhang, smooth and slightly curved, the light can be seen, it is actually a whole boulder shaped!
The word "Cold Spring" is engraved on the city gate, and this is the royal city of Cold Spring Country - Cold Spring City.
When Lin Shengsheng saw it, he couldn't help but exclaim: "How did such a city wall be built!
He had also traveled to many places and seen many cities, but the walls he saw were all made of stones or bricks, and it was the first time he had seen a wall made of a single stone like Cold Spring City.
Lu Xincheng seemed to enjoy Lin Shengsheng's current gaze with surprise and shock, and introduced it quite proudly: "The walls of Cold Spring City were condensed into hard rock by my ancestors with great mana, so they look smooth and smooth, as smooth as a mirror. ”
Such a whimsical idea could not help but be admired by Lin Shengsheng, but what surprised him even more was the identity of the young man in front of him.
From the information revealed in the words, it can be guessed that the person in front of him should have a lot to do with the owner of Cold Spring City.
And at this moment, just after entering the city, I saw a group of soldiers in armor hurrying over.
Lin Shengsheng squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and was shocked to find that the strength of these soldiers was actually above the Divine Refining Realm, and the cultivation of the first person was even more in the state of the Great Perfection of the Tiangang Realm, and the whole body exuded a fierce aura like fire, it could be said that half a foot had stepped into the Tiangang Realm!
Standing at the front of the team was a man who looked like a military general, wearing more gorgeous armor than the soldiers around him, and as soon as he approached, he stepped out of the ranks, bowed half-kneeling to Lu Xincheng, hugged his fists and said: "Subordinate Lu Ming to see the prince, Your Majesty is in a hurry to summon you, please move to the Hanyu Hall." ”
Lu Xincheng seemed to recognize the military general in front of him and knew that he was his father's personal guard, so he immediately nodded: "I know, when I explain some things, I will go with you to see my father." ”
After that, Lu Xincheng turned around and apologized to Lin Shengsheng and Ling Shuang: "I'm sorry for the two, my father has something to summon, I can't greet you for the time being, please bear with me." When I come out of the palace, I will make amends for my sins with a feast. ”
Lin Shengsheng is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do, so he hurriedly returned the salute: "What did Brother Lu say, you are a prince of the world, and it is already rare to be so polite to others, some small things, don't worry about them." ”
Looking at Lu Xincheng, who was surrounded by guards and left, Lin Shengsheng came back to his senses and smiled softly: "I really didn't expect that Brother Lu is actually a son of a country, no wonder he has such insight and bearing." ”
Although there was no Lu Xincheng to lead the way, Lin Shengsheng also happened to be idle, and took Ling Shuang to walk around this Cold Spring City for a few days.
The Cold Spring Kingdom is one of the twelve kingdoms of the Western Era, and its strength is at the bottom, not only the smallest in area, the least populous, but also the weakest in force. However, relying on the treasure land of the Cold Water Oasis, rooted in this desert east of the Bone Wasteland, it can still be regarded as a safe and stable residence.
Around Cold Spring City, there are many villages and small towns around, dotted all over the place, and the stars and moons generally sanitize Cold Spring City, firmly rooted in the Cold Water Oasis.
After visiting for a few days, Lin Shengsheng also had a general understanding of the people's livelihood here.
He took Ling Shuang's hand and walked down the street, looking around from time to time, this was to observe the environment here.
"The population of the Cold Spring Country is 2.5 billion, and nearly half of them live in this huge royal city, and it is said that the reason why it was named is because there is a peculiar spring in the center of the palace, which is called the Cold Spring, and it is this spring that feeds all the people here, so the country is also called the Cold Spring Country. ”
The water of the cold spring is cold to the bone, but it contains powerful vitality, which can not only prolong life and delay aging, but also is said to be able to heal no matter how serious the injury is, as long as you do not die. And the rivers near here are also impregnated by this cold spring, and once they flow out of the surface and are exposed to the sun, they can immediately nourish all things, feed a piece of plants and living creatures, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the nectar of life.
Of course, the specific effect of the cold spring jade liquid is probably only clear to those who have drunk it, and the rest is just speculation from the outside world.
"It's a good environment, but unfortunately it's already famous, and we came a step late. ”
Looking at the prosperous Cold Spring Country, Lin Shengsheng was also helpless: "It seems that if we want to settle down, we have to find another place." ”
When Ling Shuang heard this, she smiled, holding Lin Shengsheng's arm, and Li Vortex smiled lightly: "Look at your expression of pity, if it weren't for the good reputation of this Cold Spring King, I'm afraid you would have to use the idea of occupying the magpie's nest with a dove." ”
When Lin Shengsheng heard this, he deliberately put on a straight face, put on an angry look, pinched Ling Shuang's little Qiong's nose and said, "Are you so unconfident in my character, am I the kind of person who likes to rob other people's things?"
"I don't know who emptied the Heavenly Desolate Divine Mountain, and even the leylines were packed and taken away. ”
Being teased by Ling Shuang like this, Lin Shengsheng was also speechless, but the truth was indeed like this.
"That's different, it was the Blood Clan who provoked me first. Lin Shengsheng didn't care about this, although he was greedy, he was a very principled person, believing in the life creed of "people respect me for a foot, I respect people for a foot".
As for the one foot that someone offends me, it will naturally be returned tenfold and hundredfold.
"Then what to do now, the aura on the blood essence jade core is getting less and less, and it is not a problem to hold on to the materials for a while, but if you sit and eat the mountain like this, even if the gold and silver mountains have to be hollowed out, you have to think of a way to do it in your life." ”
After finally escaping from the wasteland, and now having to face new difficulties, Ling Shuang couldn't help but express his worries about the future.
Lin Shengsheng hugged Ling Shuang's fragrant shoulders and comforted her: "Don't worry, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and we will find a suitable place to live sooner or later." ”
Actually, it's not an easy task.
The land that can accommodate the survival and development of a billion people is not so easy to find, although the Tianyuan Great World is vast and I don't know how many billions of miles, but the environment is treacherous, brute beasts and monsters are rampant, and the places suitable for habitation have basically been developed.
If you want to get more land, you can only rely on force to forcibly open up.
Just when Lin Shengsheng was immersed in such thoughts, the bell in the city suddenly rang loudly, and the long sound wave roared and resounded throughout the city.
"Well, what's going on?"
Lin Shengsheng was puzzled, but saw that the pedestrians on the street looked panicked and chaotic.
Many people ran home, crying and shouting as they ran: "Oh no! Run! The bones are coming!"
Boom! Boom!
It was as if the beasts were striding wildly, the trembling earth was shaking, and a noisy roar was heard over the walls and from outside the city. (To be continued......)
