South of Sophora japonica, in the wild.
Jiang Yan raised one palm and slashed diagonally in front of him. The white-gold sword threads, as thin as clouds and rain, flew forward at high speed, turning a forest into ruins.
He raised his hand and made a move, and a twisted and squirming human skin face fell into his hand. This was "Luo Gui Skin", a kind of weird material with good value.
"...I have tried my best to refine tools and hunt weird things to obtain their materials, but there is still a big gap between me and being able to purchase the cultivation method of the real pill realm."
"If this continues, advancement will be far away."
"But I don't have time to wait any longer."
News of the inexplicable disappearance of the imperial capital has spread in the past few days, and rumors of powerful strange things coming from various places have been confirmed one after another. One state has even been turned into a forbidden land, and life has been extinct.
Although Yehuai County is currently calm, the official forces still maintain their rule and operate effectively, and there are no very powerful monsters approaching in the wild, these appearances do not give Jiang Yan enough sense of security.
Judging from the current situation, if there is no powerful force to replace the dynasty in ruling this area, then as time goes by, this huge area may gradually split into independent city-states.
Having lost the most important city of God, the remaining states are not the same in strength, but the difference is not huge. In such a situation, no one can give orders to anyone, and no one is willing to succumb to others.
Then, there will definitely be a struggle for rights, and wars and killings will inevitably come. At that time, in this area, there will be many internal conflicts among the human race, which will inevitably greatly consume the vitality of the human race itself.
“...Moreover, this is just an internal contradiction.
The biggest crisis at present is that the city of gods has disappeared inexplicably, and the magic soldiers and powerful tribulation experts who suppressed the dynasty have also disappeared.
The most elite and high-end power of the Yan Dynasty was gone, and the various states had become de facto isolated islands, and they could only fight on their own.
Once something strange appears that even the state capital cannot deal with, then unimaginable disasters will inevitably occur in that area!
Just like Yang Shuzhou, everything was destroyed and turned into a forbidden land! "
Thinking like this, Jiang Yan's mood became a little heavy inexplicably, and an invisible sense of urgency came over his heart. He pursed his lower lip tightly, and his eyes gradually became dangerous.
…
A small caravan arrived at Yehuai City.
In the middle of the caravan, on an ordinary carriage, a plump and beautiful girl was leaning against the carriage, holding a sleeping boy in her arms with a chubby face.
After Shan Renhu looked at his wife and children with concern, he chatted with other people in the carriage.
"It's too expensive. The cost from Luocang to Yehuai is simply ridiculous. I saved up for half a year!" A man in his thirties sighed from the bottom of his heart. "If it weren't for the fact that more people have appeared on the waterways recently. If it is dangerous, I will definitely choose to take a boat, which is comfortable and saves money."
"It is indeed a bit more expensive, but we arrived at Yehuai safely without encountering any major dangers along the way." Shan Renhu smiled, "This is lucky enough."
"Yes, we are indeed lucky." After the man echoed a sentence, his face began to show longing again. He said: "Yehuai is a county town. It is several times more prosperous than Luocang, and there will be more people here. Opportunities to make a fortune, in comparison, the toll is a little more expensive but it can guarantee safety, so it’s nothing.”
Then, the man continued: "I heard that there are many workshops here recruiting workers, many gangs recruiting disciples, and many powerful people recruiting servants. In short, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will not only have food to eat, but you can also save for another time. money."
"Yes, as long as you stay down and work hard, your dreams will definitely come true in the future." Touched by the expectation in the man's tone, Shan Renhu sincerely blessed him, and then seriously suggested: "In addition, I also suggest that you have the energy If so, it’s best to practice martial arts, after all, this is a world for the strong.”
"Martial arts..." The man was silent for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
"Woah... woah..." At this time, the boy in Rou Niang's arms suddenly woke up and cried loudly.
Shan Renhu looked at the man apologetically, then came to his wife. He picked up the child and began to whisper some Guihua City dialect, as if to comfort the baby.
“It’s so heartwarming.”
Looking at this scene, the corners of the man's mouth curled up slightly unconsciously, and his expression softened. He gently opened the curtains, and the scene outside came into his eyes.
The first thing you see is the city wall that is taller, thicker and more secure than Luocang, and then the cyan bow-shaped talisman that represents eternity suspended in the air. This is what everyone who comes to Yehuai for the first time will know immediately. Things noticed.
His eyes slowly moved down and suddenly settled on a young warrior who was in his early twenties. He was wearing a blue-colored cherry gown, with a long sword on his back. His eyes were deep and his facial features were attractive.
Of course, the other party was able to attract his attention immediately because this young warrior had one particularly obvious feature...a bald head.
Sensing the attention, Jiang Yan looked up and saw a man who looked about thirty years old and had a simple face. He was sitting on an ordinary carriage, his eyes full of curiosity.
"...a person who has arrived at Yehuai for the first time."
After making a definition in his mind, Jiang Yan looked away. His expression returned to calm, and he walked out of the city step by step against the flow of people pouring into the city.
…
The sky was as gloomy as ink, silver-white lightning zigzagged among the clouds, and the whole world was oppressive.
Boom!
Finally, the storm fell.
Jiang Yan stood at the entrance of a higher cave, staring at the wind and rain outside. His current location was to the west of Yehuai, at the junction of Nanyan Prefecture and Ninglu Prefecture... Tujiang Highlands.
In terms of the official name of Yehuai, Tujiang Highlands also has another name, that is... the place of sin.
This is a real no-no zone, a gathering place for many desperadoes, evildoers, conspirators, and demonic sects. It is a place where the strong are like heaven and the weak are like crickets.
Here, being weak is the original sin, and one deserves to be bullied, driven, and killed.
Time passed slowly, the wind and rain finally stopped, the sky was blue and the green plants were fresh.
Jiang Yan stepped out of the cave in one step and ran towards the Tujiang Highlands below. He needed to find a place to stay before it got dark.
Just like that, half an hour passed, just as Jiang Yan was using his body skills to look for traces of strangers' lives, suddenly, a tiny black beam of light suddenly shot from the forest to his left. This green beam of light The speed was extremely fast, and Jiang Yan was hit in one stroke.
Wow!
The branches and leaves trembled, and a middle-aged man wearing gray clothes and a long knife at his waist jumped out of the dense forest.
"Hopefully it's a fat sheep!"
The middle-aged man shook the black iron box in his hand, "I finally borrowed the black evil box from Boss Feng, I can't afford to lose this time..."
call!
Before the man finished speaking, his mouth was suddenly blocked by a sudden wind. Then, white frost formed on his body, cracks appeared, and gradually melted.
Jiang Yan slowly appeared behind the middle-aged man. At this moment, his right palm was slightly raised and showed a mysterious and evil color.
This is...the power of the instrument "Wind Hand".
