Chapter 54: Nine Desolate Mountains(1/2)
In just a few minutes, the scene changed.
The group of people came to the open space beside the road. Lorraine Hill found a stone to sit on, while the others sat in a semicircle on the ground.
"Okay, you go ahead and say it." Lorraine Hill showed a rare naughty expression and raised his hand to point at the big man with black beard.
"I'll say it first," he said consciously.
"The thing is like this. I received news in Lianyingzhou that Old Man Huang had entrusted the Lin brothers to send a batch of goods to Jiuhuang Mountain deep in Baimanzhou. Then I got interested and asked my men to go and investigate."
…
"Later, I learned about the value of this batch of goods from one of Old Man Huang's servants, and then I started planning to get it."
"At first, I thought about intercepting the goods before entering Baimanzhou, but I didn't expect that the Lin brothers were very cautious and changed the route midway. Later, they could only barely catch up, and their whereabouts were exposed, and they had an affair with them.
field."
"After the fight, they didn't want to fight. They rushed all the way to Baimanzhou, and then we chased them all the way."
"That's probably what happened."
"What kind of thing is that?" Lorraine Hill wrapped his fingers around the hair on his chest and looked at the backpack beside him.
"It should be a batch of good potions, and then the heartwood." The big man said, looking at the three silent swordsmen in front of him.
"It's true that it's potion and heartwood, but in fact it's not what Jiuhuangshan wants." The swordsman in black put his hands on his bowed knees and shook his head slightly.
"Hey, let me tell you, if you really want to know what Jiuhuangshan wants, Old Man Huang won't be so cautious about hiding the information." The black-bearded man laughed loudly again, but he saw Luo Lan in the middle of his laughter.
Hill's eyes turned around and suddenly became stuck again.
"Ahem, it turns out that's the case. No wonder these heroes are so cautious, huh."
"What does heartwood mean?" Actually, Lorraine Hill doesn't quite understand what this term specifically refers to.
"Heartwood is some special materials that practitioners need to advance, but generally only mid-to-high-level ones have this requirement."
"So that's it." It seems to be a unique Eastern name, the girl thought to herself, but why hadn't she heard of it before?
"Most of the disciples in Jiuhuang Mountain practice Qianlong and Demonic Heart. The heartwood they need is quite special. Although Baimanzhou has some, it is still not enough." The swordsman continued to explain.
"Besides, in addition to the disciples from Tiger Roaring Nine Desolate Mountains, Baimanzhou also has some small factions or solo travelers who are practicing there, and they also need some supplements."
"The things we sent this time are what some small factions and loners need."
"The deeper you go in this Hundred Man Continent, the stronger the monsters become. There are always many people coming here to practice, and of course many people die. It can be said to be a big gamble."
Generally speaking, the number of monsters in a place is always limited, and it takes a long time to advance and become stronger before powerful ones appear, so you only need to send people to clean them up occasionally.
But Baimanzhou is different. The Dongtian Secret Realm here is integrated with the local environment. It is like a sieve full of loopholes. You can enter and exit at will. Therefore, the special environment of the Dongtian Secret Realm has created many monsters, and these monsters also use the Dongtian Secret Realm.
The effect can be quickly cultivated and advanced, and the killing will be endless.
Although Tiger Roar Jiuhuang Mountain is the first to visit, the secret realm of caves and heavens it possesses is actually incomplete. This is why it is not well-known and is often forgotten in the southwestern continents.
The people on both sides talked to each other, and gradually completed the explanation of the environment and reasons for Baimanzhou.
Is it the dilapidated Cave Heaven Secret Realm? Lorraine Hill thought about it and remembered the Ximu Mountains that he had visited before. The Cave Heaven Secret Realm there was also dilapidated. It was even twisted with the local dragon veins and gave birth to many ferocious monsters.
She didn’t know what was going on inside Baimanzhou. Maybe she could go and take a look. After all, Cave Heaven Secret Realm and Dragon Veins were actually two systems that complemented each other. She also wanted to know why the Divine Wing Sun was clearly built in the final stage.
After learning about Dragon Veins, they gave up without interest, and never saw any trace of them again.
Even the Divine Winged Sun in the final stage, judging from the images left in the ancient ruins and crowns of Lorraine Hill, is extremely powerful. There are thousands of Sequence 9 Angels. With such powerful strength, it is easy to change the world.
, but then they gradually became silent.
After understanding what he needed to know, Lorraine Hill stood up and looked at the sky. It was almost noon.
"Well, let's eat something first, then take a nap, and then we'll set off in the afternoon to go to Jiuhuang Mountain together."
"Okay, I'll listen to the eldest lady." Before anyone else could speak, the big man with black beard was the first to respond graciously, and then stood up to get ready.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
The few people first found dry firewood in the forest, built a small stove with stones, and then began to cook and heat the soup.
After the group of people prepared lunch, they asked Lorraine Hill to eat first, so that they slowly began to enjoy it together. Seeing the harmonious appearance of the two parties, they did not notice at all the scene of a violent war before.
Perhaps both parties understood that neither of them dared to offend the girl, so they eliminated the possibility of any evil intentions and felt relieved about each other.
The group of people set out on the road again, and with the blessing of Loland Hill's spell, their speed became nearly twice as fast. When the sun was still on the mountainside, they could see the towering mountain in the distance.
The mountain rises out of the forest, towers into the clouds, is steep and precipitous, and giant dragons fly around it from time to time, and occasionally the sounds of beasts screaming and neighing can be heard.
As we get closer to Jiuhuang Mountain, we can see many dead bones and huge stone and wooden piles covered with dried blood on the roadside.
"What are these?" Lorraine Hill covered her nose slightly with her sleeves. She could smell the faint smell of blood remaining in the air.
"Most of these are monster beasts that were killed by Jiuhuang Mountain disciples. They will hang the clean corpses of monster beasts on the roadside as a warning, so that ordinary monster beasts will not dare to approach the road."
"That's it." The girl thought thoughtfully, and then the group continued to move forward.
Compared with the deserted situation along the way, as we got closer and closer to Jiuhuang Mountain, we could meet some pedestrians on the road. They were curious and surprised at how fast these pedestrians were walking, so they didn't ask any questions.
Some of these travelers are lone travelers, while others are caravans with complete escorts. There are many of them, so they dare to travel through the dangerous Baiman Continent.
"We're almost there, just ahead is the gate of Jiuhuang Mountain."
As they spoke, everyone gradually turned around a forest, and the scene in front of them suddenly became clearer.
Five towering and steep peaks stand in the dense mountains and forests. Among these five peaks, there is a large area of wooden buildings and villages scattered in the mountains and forests. In the middle, there is a wide flat land paved with stones, where there is a lively market.
, many people go in and out, and you can see various shops and restaurants next to the circular square.
"Is this the Jiuhuang Mountain?" Lorraine Hill stood on the hill, looking at the lively scene in the distance.
Although there are many buildings, generally speaking, they are like a copycat that has been enlarged many times. The architectural style is very rough and barbaric. Most of them are made of wood and stone. The roof beams are made of huge animal bones, and the sharp corners of the bones are tilted.
, forming a half-moon-shaped roof ridge, with thick thatch and rough wooden plank roofs on both sides below.
Moreover, the residents who go in and out of this house mostly wear animal skins and wear accessories with teeth and joints. This primitive and wild style makes people recall the ancient times, when the Phoenix Witch was still alive and the ancestors were in the Eastern Continent.
A period of difficult pioneering and migration.
"This is Jiuhuang Mountain, Miss."
"I was really surprised the first time, but I gradually got used to it, because Baimanzhou is not easy to get in and out, and monsters often invade it. The local residents don't go out of their way to build very good houses. They are easy to break anyway."
With that said, the group of people slowly walked down the mountain road. As they got closer, they could see more and more local residents along the way. Their appearance was not much different from the outside world, but their accents were slightly different. These people
They were also quite simple and simple. Lorraine Hill could hear their chatting words in the breeze. There were few quarrels and they helped each other with many things without much fuss.
The closer they got, the taller the mountain looked. By the time the group reached the interior of the Nine Desolate Mountains, the towering peaks directly blocked the sun, and they could only see the golden afterglow on one side of the horizon.
"I need to make a delivery. I don't know what the arrangements are for the eldest lady." Although the delivery of escorts has little to do with Lorraine Hill, the three of them couldn't leave at will at this moment.
"Well, can I go with you to have a look?" Lorraine Hill wanted to know more about the local situation.
"This is okay." Although it was different from the usual practice, it was not something that needed to be avoided. Several people nodded immediately.
After that, Swordsman Lin looked for the agreed place to inquire, and soon found out where he wanted to send it this time.
"It turned out to be Boss Huang's goods. Let me take a look at the records he left before." In an inn, the clerk squatted down, found the locked book in the cabinet, and then rummaged through the records he had left before.
"It's under the Qiongqi Peak, at the Black Sixty-seventh Ring House. The owner of the yard is named Ying. You can just go there and deliver the goods."
"Okay, this is our dart seal." After saying this, a swordsman took out a small arrow-like token and placed it on the table.
"Hmm, I'll give you a stamp, and then you will press your fingerprints and write your name. This escort will be halfway through the journey. When he finishes delivering the goods, he will get the token from the owner of the yard. Even if it is over, we will also
Give you some money."
Watching their exchange, Lorraine Hill looked back and forth with eyes full of curiosity, thinking carefully in his heart.
It seems that the process of escorting is quite strict.
Then the group of people left the inn and continued walking towards the inside of Jiuhuang Mountain, crossing the messy bifurcated roads, searching all the way, and then stopped in front of a yard. There were two hanging poles hanging under the eaves in front of the yard.
One of the copper ring ropes has six copper rings wrapped with black wire, and the other has seven copper rings wrapped with black wire. It seems that this is the meaning of sixty-seven, which is very straightforward and simple.
"There are no straight roads in the mountains. They are all winding paths with many forks, so there are no strict streets here. You can only look at which peaks are closest, and then hang up the corresponding numbered door knockers. Under Qiongqi Peak
They use black thread to wrap the ring." The swordsman walked in front and introduced.
"I see." Among the few people who had never been to Jiuhuang Mountain, they nodded.
Then an escort swordsman came forward, knocked on the door, and waited patiently.
After a while, the door creaked open, and a man with disheveled hair walked out. He looked to be in his thirties, with a string of small animal skulls hanging on his chest. He was wearing loose clothes with his chest exposed, and there was a pistol around his waist.
Sheathed long knife.
As soon as he opened the door, the black-haired man frowned, because there were many people outside.
"Who are you?" His voice was cold, as if he was unhappy.
"We are here to deliver darts." As they spoke, the three of them put down their backpacks, took out the rattan box, and then took out several small bags containing valuables from their arms.
He watched the three swordsmen put the things away, then nodded slightly, then opened the box, untied the small opening on the bag, and checked them one by one.
There was a list written on special contract paper in the box. He took the paper to count and check, while Lorraine Hill and his party also slowly looked at the contents of the box.
"One hundred and thirty bottles of candle red lotus heart medicine, two hundred and sixty Qudu Lengxin pills, ninety-six bottles of ink blood coagulation purple medicine, twelve shells of seven-combination pearl powder, twenty-nine bottles of wind dew sealing water,
