Chapter 370(1/2)
Follow the stone path on the right and keep going. Bookmark this site
Along the way, there are some shops and some residences on both sides of the stone path.
The shops sell everything, including clothes, weapons, medicinal materials...
There are also some stalls similar to carriage shops, with some monsters that are similar in length to horses staying outside. In fact, to Fang Ping, they are horses.
However, his Qi and blood are not strong, so he may not have reached the first-level realm yet.
These monsters are not actually monsters.
These carriages are only suitable for use inside the city. The willow tree demon is in the royal city. The willow tree demon does not emit aura suppression within the city, but it does suppress aura outside the city.
Therefore, the carriage can be used in the city. Once outside the city, if you feel the power of the blood of these horses, monsters will soon attack you.
Fang Ping continued to move forward, and the further he went, the more people there were.
After walking several thousand meters, the buildings in front suddenly disappeared, and a large, empty square appeared!
There are no buildings, but there are many people.
Fang Ping saw some people carrying goods in front of him find an open space and casually threw the goods on the ground without shouting. Soon buyers came forward to check.
"A market?"
Fang Ping roughly judged the purpose of this large square and couldn't help but pat Lao Li behind him.
It’s really time to go to the vegetable market!
This is not an ordinary vegetable market. The buyers and sellers here are almost all warriors.
The goods for sale are of all kinds.
There are demon beast corpses, demon beast hearts, and some things that look similar to branches, but are actually the roots and leaves of demon plants, and they also have strong energy fluctuations.
Fang Ping also saw some familiar medicinal materials, all of which were rich in energy.
I didn't see the energy stone.
In the caves, energy stones are the main training resources for cave warriors. They are rarely sold to outsiders. Even if they are sold, they are bartered.
Raw ores of rare metals are not uncommon here.
Fang Ping even recognized what some metals were. Fang Ping also knew the ratio of raw materials for alloy materials.
Some of them are even metals that must be used in Grade A alloys.
While Fang Ping was looking around, a middle-aged man who looked like a buyer came over and asked, "What are you selling?"
Fang Ping saw him staring at the animal skin package behind him, remained silent, and ignored him.
If Lao Li is sold, Lao Li will be stewed, right?
Seeing that Fang Ping didn't answer, the other party frowned slightly and didn't bother. This was a trading place for warriors from surrounding towns, and there was no shortage of Fang Ping. He just saw that he was wearing a third-grade medal and thought it was something good, so he asked.
Fang Ping didn't stand around all the time, and randomly checked some goods along the way. There were some things that he actually wanted to grab.
The warriors here are not considered strong, even if they are in the third level, they are not weak, and there are very few in the middle level.
But there are still good things. Rare metals and the main ingredients of various elixirs can be found everywhere.
As for the transaction method... Fang Ping saw someone using energy stone crystals to trade.
Energy stone crystals may be waste, but they can be circulated as coins and will naturally be given a corresponding value. As long as the royal city recognizes them, then this thing is valuable.
However, this is not always the case. There are also people who use energy stones that have not been consumed to trade, but generally for those slightly valuable items.
The energy stone, also known as the life stone among the people in the cave, is not only their main resource for cultivation, but also the main currency for daily transactions.
Fang Ping's ears were trembling as he walked, paying attention to the exchanges between some warriors.
As the time he spent dealing with the cave people grew longer, he often listened to their conversations. Over time, he could guess the meaning of some words. Unlike other caves, the warriors encountered people who could only distinguish between life and death.
When cave warriors meet humans, they have very few opportunities to talk.
In the newly opened crypt, and it was still within the royal city, these warriors hardly paid much attention to the affairs of human warriors.
"I heard that the royal city is recruiting troops!"
"Recruiting troops? Are you going to start a war with Chalk City?"
"No, it's a strong man from a foreign land! I happened to overhear the conversation between two adults in the inner city this morning. I heard that there are strong men from a foreign land coming, and the war will begin soon."
"There are tens of thousands of troops in the royal city, and there are giant willow guards. Do you need to be afraid of people from foreign lands?"
"You don't know. Don't tell others. I heard that the giant willow guards suffered heavy losses yesterday. Of the three thousand giant willow guards, thousands of people died yesterday!"
"So many? How is it possible! The lowest level of divine guards is level four, right? There are also many generals..."
"Really, yesterday we were encircling and suppressing the strong men from foreign lands. I heard that all the strong men coming from foreign lands were warriors and above. The divine guards rushed to the front. Except for a few peripheral generals, all the other generals were killed!"
"Are foreigners so powerful?"
"I heard that they are very powerful, and they don't even risk their lives. A dozen generals have killed dozens of divine guards, and even some of the recruited family and sect generals are almost dead..."
"Then can we beat them?"
"..."
This is not the only thing that is being discussed. There are many people who know about the recruitment of troops in the royal city at this moment.
People in the surrounding towns may not know about the huge losses yesterday, but no one in the royal city knows.
There were countless casualties among the generals, 4 of the commanders were killed, and even the venerables were killed.
Even King Liu cannot hide such a major event.
These strong men also have relatives and families.
The three thousand Giant Willow Divine Guards are also the core strength of the Giant Willow City that amazes everyone, that is, the three thousand middle-grade strong men.
Unlike Tianmen City, Tianmen City has been at war with humans for many years, and its army has expanded to hundreds of thousands.
Here in Juliu City, there was no war before. Except for the core legions like the Juliu Divine Guards, the ordinary army was less than 50,000 people.
Yesterday, although there were only a few people like Old Man Li, they killed a lot of powerful people.
In the end, when Old Man Li killed the eighth-level warrior, his sword radiated with radiance. Almost all the middle-level warriors on the periphery were beheaded, and even the commanders were unable to react.
Fang Ping listened and gradually made a judgment in his heart.
"There are 3,000 mid-level warriors and an army of 50,000 lower-level and third-level warriors. No, there may only be 2,000 mid-level warriors now.
Even if there is one middle-grade general among the 50,000 low-grade people, there are probably less than 3,000 middle-grade strong men in Juliu City now.
A lot of people in the sixth rank died in the battle yesterday, and now there are only 50 people left in the army who are dying.
The commander is the seventh grade, and four of them were killed in the battle yesterday. Governor Zhang and these people are quite cruel."
Fang Ping was a little surprised to hear that four commander-level experts had died yesterday.
Yesterday, he rushed to the sky and took a glance. There seemed to be 7 people left on the other side. In other words, after he left, the other side had killed two more people.
You must know that Zhou Zhengyang was dead at the time, and Zhang Dingnan and Principal Nanwu were all seriously injured. Under such circumstances, two more were killed, which was somewhat unexpected.
I'm afraid that Juliu City is not used to the human method of fighting to the death. Even if they die, they have to drag away a few. This is the habit of human beings fighting in caves for so many years.
Juliu City had been fighting against Chalk City for many years before this, but in Fang Ping's opinion, it was just a small fight.
The two sides heard that they have been fighting for hundreds of years, and none of their leaders seems to have died. Is this also called an endless war?
However, there are now more than 5 seventh-grade people left in Juliu City. Yesterday, there were still a few people who did not go out to fight, but stayed behind in Juliu City.
Fang Ping didn't know the exact number, but it was only about 10 at most.
There are really only two left at the eighth level.
"One person for the ninth grade, two for the eighth grade, about 10 for the seventh grade, and 100 people for the sixth grade inside and outside the city plus civilians.
The total number of middle-grade warriors in the city may exceed 5,000."
Such strength is actually much weaker than Tianmen City before the loss.
Before the two eighth-grade soldiers died, Tianmen City's high-end combat power was similar to that of Juliu City, but Tianmen City's army was 200,000!
Among them, there are at least nearly 10,000 middle-grade ones!
"If there are no reinforcements in Juliu City, it is actually not difficult to capture a stronghold. You don't need to come to the ninth level, just a few eighth-level soldiers, and it will be no problem to capture a stronghold."
"However, it seems that Giant Pine City has already provided support. If there is no support from Grade 9, it will be difficult to establish a stronghold."
As for the giant tree in the city, Fang Ping didn't pay much attention.
Looking at its size, you can tell that it is not easy to move. Moreover, this giant willow tree has never left the city. I am afraid it is not suitable for attacking. The defense is quite good.
"There seems to be a big tree in Tianmen City. Is it also a tree demon? It should be, but it hasn't come out in these years. It seems that it is really difficult to move."
Thinking about this, Fang Ping felt a little emotional, saying that Juliu City didn't seem to be strong.
But don’t forget, this is just one cave and one city!
How many royal cities are there in Nanjiang Catacombs?
Fang Ping doesn't know yet, but according to past experience, a catacomb can have as few as ten cities or as many as twenty cities. Over in the Kyoto catacombs, there are 20 cities.
