After a day or two of advancement, the caravan arrived at the town of Anmore, where it dropped off a batch of transit supplies destined for the colony in the Baissen Mountains via water, received a batch of indigenous specialties, and then set off again.
Between Harrison Port and Trois-Rivières is the 'Great Rift Valley Area'. This was once a high mountain, but due to the geological changes caused by the Skyfall disaster, the entire mountain cracked and collapsed, sliding into the sea. The collapse created fissures and cavities. and sedimentary layers are today’s Great Rift Valley and Fantasy Labyrinth Reef Group.
Some cracks have been washed away by rivers all year round, turning them into cascading waterfalls in the underground layer. There are water cliff species unique to Nanling, and many flying water monsters live in them.
It is even said that these rift valleys lead directly to the sea.
But all this has nothing to do with the White Chamber Caravan. They just crossed the shortest point on both sides of the rift valley along a stone arch bridge, and then walked towards the area where the Fantasy Labyrinth Reef Group is located.
"There are a lot of magical beasts around here. It is an area hit hardest by magical beasts. Even the natives rarely come close."
Entering this area, the caravan became alert. Even Brin began to wipe his long knife in preparation for a battle that might occur at any time: "Did you see that over there? A small caravan wants to try its luck, probably We were attacked by a group led by a magical beast, the leopard."
Where Brin was pointing, there was the remains of a trailer that had been covered with growing moss, and obvious fine claw marks could be seen on it, which was quite scary against the background of the tropical jungle.
Some chewed bone residues were scattered nearby, which was just the latest thing.
The forest will soon swallow it all.
"Judging from the corpse fragments, there are only five or six people." Ian raised his eyebrows. He stared at the remains of the corpses and said with some surprise: "With such a small number of people, dare to go to the Nanling Trade Road? Ten times more."
"The profits are really high."
Brin was a little sad: "Things like inscription artifacts, alchemy lamps, and metal tools from the Great Plains area can be sold for two or three times the price when shipped to us."
"And the herbs and rare catches we have here, as well as the special magical beast materials that you know Ian, are transported to the Great Plains area around the imperial capital. If you sell them casually, you can make more than four times the profit!"
With a profit of 300%, a businessman would dare to trample all laws in the world - let alone a huge profit of more than ten times over time?
There are many people who have had the last string in their heads burned by Thaler. They have ignored the extremely high costs and extremely high risks under extremely high profits, not to mention the need to open up official relationships, reliable local partners, and ensure safety. of force and everything else that needs to be prepared.
"A lot of people die in small caravans like this, and most of them don't have the money to risk their lives. But if it succeeds, it will really have the capital to be able to do some serious business, and it will be a foundation."
Back then, Brin also imagined making a fortune and doing big things, but later he realized that this was just a big dream. The monsters in Nanling were so hungry that they didn't mind eating a few more big meals at all.
The Baishi caravan also has more than a hundred people, and there are not a few guards, and they can carry alchemy guns for self-defense. The most ordinary monsters can only get close to see if they can drag away a few unlucky ones, and never dare to make a big move. scale attack.
Not to mention that Ian, an ascendant, is in charge, so the Chamber of Commerce brought a lot of extra goods this time, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to make more money.
The sun gradually sets and night falls.
However, the caravan was extra vigilant and arranged the cars and camel beasts in a circle to form a simple fortress. Guards like Brin were patrolling around to monitor the surrounding monsters.
What kind of robber can be as scary as a monster? A crazy hard-shelled bear can knock down a small house. Their car barriers can only be said to be better than nothing. If they really fight, they have to be repeled and scared away through various methods.
Everyone was nervous, but Ian had a calm face. He kept holding a pen and paper to record and write something.
No one cares about him, after all, it is obvious who is the boss of the caravan.
Until a sharp whistle sounded.
This is a sound indicating that a monster is approaching. At the same time, there was also the sharp scream of a monster in the distance.
Everyone in the caravan's expressions darkened, or they took a breath - Brin also quickly took out his light crossbow and loaded the arrows. Although he had experienced several similar attacks by monsters, each time was different. of tension and danger.
"It's the reef-eating sea otter!"
A scout's voice sounded not far away, with surprise: "How could it be possible? Although this is indeed around the Labyrinth Reef Group, how could they attack us so far from the shore?"
After hearing these words, Ian raised his head. He first looked in the direction of the monster, and then in the direction of the caravan's truck. There is indeed a lot of blue mist there.
The caravan carried a batch of Warcraft materials. Originated from indigenous Warcraft materials.
Different from the preferential treatment given by the Tenglan tribe, the price for Harrison Port to accept the surrender of the natives of the Shantide tribe was to let them kill all the swamp crocodile dragons they raised with Warcraft potential and Warcraft level.
Compared with the giant eel lineage that cannot be eradicated and has long since become a sea of trees in the entire redwood forest area, the swamp crocodile dragon is the totem spirit lineage that is easiest to eradicate. This is indeed an excessive demand, but in the face of carrying Pressed by Viscount Grant with absolute strength, the natives finally succumbed.
A batch of the killed Swamp Crocodile Dragon materials were sent out by the White Chamber Caravan.
As for why it is the White Chamber of Commerce...of course it is to share part of the benefits with the White people, and by the way, let Ian, the sublime, escort them.
As expected, there are now monsters who are interested in these earth monster materials, and Ian will definitely take action.
"The Viscount is really good at calling people... It would be nice if he just said it."
"Besides, there's something weird about this group of reef-eating sea otters."
Shaking his head slightly, Ian stood up, put on his helmet, and walked towards the direction of the Warcraft.
At this time, almost everyone in the caravan was preparing their weapons, stringing their bows, and getting ready for battle.
Although the Reef-Eating Sea Otters are invulnerable and their fur is almost metal, armor-piercing arrows can still drain their blood. Not to mention that the bodies of Reef-Eating Sea Otters that have not reached the Warcraft level are not that hard at all, and heavy arrows are enough to penetrate their tough skin.
The sea otter colony was approaching, and with the sound of snapping bushes, huge silver-white sea otters ignored the constant scoldings and threats of fire from the scouts, and approached the caravan's main line as if no one else was around.
The sea otters collided with each other, making a metallic clang.
They come for the materials of other Warcraft. This is a rare opportunity to obtain a large amount of source material and promote the growth of the group. If humans will ignore risks for the sake of profit, the same goes for Warcraft.
Staring at the car barrier, the sea otters' eyes were greedy, their needle-like hairs stood up, and they were obviously in a fighting state.
The caravan guards were also extremely nervous. They all held bows and crossbows, prepared kerosene and spears, and were ready to rely on the car barriers to beat the group of giant otters who were already going crazy.
But they didn't wait for the opportunity to take action.
Because Ian walked in front of this group of sea otters.
He didn't even pull out his sword, he just stood in front of the leading Warcraft Sea Otter, letting the other party see clearly, or in other words, sense his essence aura clearly.
Then, the monster-level giant otter knelt down in fear.
Wow.
It quickly crawled in front of Ian, with such force that it even crushed some rocks underneath it. The whole body was shaking like a human being throwing himself on the ground, and even the ordinary reef-eating sea otter behind it also fell down. .
There was a little sea otter standing blankly. It didn't quite understand why everyone was lying down, but soon a female sea otter slapped the little boy who couldn't sense the strength to the ground.
She does look like her real mother.
"Come on, come on, don't bother me."
And Ian sighed: "I don't know who brought you here, but you are quite good at choosing."
"If I really want to kill you all, the caravan will definitely be a mess."
Sensing that Ian was in trouble and wanted to let them go, the leader Sea Otter immediately stood up and let out a long roar to guide the group's actions as if he had been granted amnesty.
Then the colony began to retreat in panic.
Ever since Ian killed a reef-eating sea otter leader many years ago and advanced himself to the first level, he has come to the Maze Reef Group from time to time to hunt monsters and obtain enough supplies - the Maze Reef Group's Warcraft has known him for a long time.
In a sense, this is also a kind of beast king.
After meeting Shark, he even brought him here for extra meals twice - one of which was when he took Shark to eat a few reef-eating sea otters.
The armored sharks are the natural enemies of marine metal-based monsters such as the reef-eating sea otter, and they are also one of the few large monsters that can threaten them.
Coincidentally, those reef-eating sea otters were probably the ones that were reproduced after he killed the leader. With the wisdom and memory that is much higher than that of the beasts, these sea otters recognized Ian, this terrible "natural enemy" The Breeder's and 'Friends of the Steel Sharks'.
Ian told the group of sea otters to retreat, and they retreated obediently.
"...It is convenient to have sublimated ones."
After the sea otters quickly left along the way they came, Brin stepped forward.
He shook his head with lingering fear and said: "If it was just our caravan that killed all these sea otters, we would not be able to make up for the pensions for the lost people... The attack by the monsters is still too terrifying."
He didn't ask why Ian didn't kill all of the group of reef-eating sea otters after it was obvious that he had completely suppressed them - there were at least two Warcraft-level sea otters inside, which could earn two to three hundred talers. If the fur was intact, he could Earn more.
Because Brin also sensed that after the reef-eating sea otter retreated, many other eyes that were vaguely watching the camp also retreated in fear.
Although only a group of monsters like sea otters came out just now, if the fight really gets fierce, the monsters in the surrounding jungle will definitely not mind missing out.
Experienced hunters also knew this, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It has nothing to do with you, this is the trouble I caused."
But Ian spoke, surprising everyone: "Putting aside the fact that without me here, the Viscount wouldn't be able to entrust this batch of goods to us."
"This group of reef-eating sea otters hurriedly left the reefs to land. They came towards us in a straight line. There must be someone guiding them behind them."
"And, I know, it must be Feiyandi."
He turned his head, and behind his helmet, his cyan eyes shining with spiritual energy scanned the entire caravan.
Ian said calmly: "One of the hunters accompanying the team is a spy from the Flying Flame Land - he was the one who lured this group of reef-eating sea otters here."
"I'm giving you a chance to stand trial alive and stand up for yourself."
"Otherwise, I'll make you into alchemy material."
