Two days later, Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong arrived near the dividing line between Zhongzhou and Nanhuang.
Ronghuang is a vast and lonely land. At a glance, it is all yellow sand and pebbles. There is no life on the land. Occasionally, some shriveled bones of animals and humans can be seen.
Those bones were all wrapped in skin and bones. They did not rot into white bones, but turned into mummies, as if tens of thousands of years had passed and they could last forever.
Before entering the Ronghuang area, Zhang Chu felt a special dryness, as if the water in the human body was completely evaporated.
"Is this Ronghuang?" Zhang Chu was shocked.
Zhang Chu even felt that if he walked a little further, he would not be able to bear the dryness and would be dried alive and turned into a mummy.
Xiao Wutong held a peach in his hand and laid it flat in front of him: "Look, it won't take a while, it will turn into a dried peach."
Zhang Chu's eyes fell on the peach. Sure enough, the peach shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, all the water was lost and it shriveled into a ball.
"It's so dry. Is there any power of law at work?" Zhang Chu asked.
At this time, Xiao Wutong said: "Yes, any living being who dares to cross the battlefield will be turned into a mummy."
"How could this happen?" Zhang Chu asked.
Xiao Wutong explained: "It is rumored that above the Primordial Era, there is the Age of Turbulence, and above the Age of Turmoil, there is the Age of Mythology."
"At the end of the Age of Mythology, many ancient gods fought a horrific war, which forcibly divided the originally integrated wilderness into five parts."
"The dividing line between Zhongzhou and Southern Wilderness was drawn by the ancient gods with one finger in order to divide the territory, forming Ronghuang."
Zhang Chu knew that the ancient gods of the Mythical Era were different from the way monks are divided into realms today. The ancient gods of that era frequently destroyed heaven and earth, and their strength was impossible to predict.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the so-called gods were nothing more than igniting the divine fire after surpassing the Venerable. That was not a level of existence at all.
At this time, Zhang Chu asked: "How wide is Ronghuang?"
Xiao Wutong replied: "I heard that the narrowest place can reach 800,000 miles, and the slightly wider place can reach 2 million miles. As for the length, there is no way to estimate it."
Zhang Chu was shocked when he heard that, eight hundred thousand miles. You must know that the circumference of the earth is only 80,000 miles, so there was once a saying that "sitting on the ground and walking eighty thousand miles in a day".
And the narrowest point of this desert is ten times the circumference of the earth. It was actually drawn by the ancient god with one finger. It is simply outrageous.
Of course, this small territory is only a drop in the ocean for the entire wilderness.
At this time, Xiao Wutong said: "This desert has not rained for tens of millions of years. Not only is the climate dry, but also the spiritual energy is incomplete. It is a natural restricted area for life."
Zhang Chu looked at the desolate land in the distance and couldn't help but said: "How do I feel that there will be no life for dozens of miles ahead?"
Xiao Wutong stuffed the newly made dried peach into his mouth and said at the same time: "Yes, if you go forward, there will be no life."
With that said, Xiao Wutong changed direction and walked in one direction along the edge of Ronghuang.
Zhang Chu was surprised: "Xiao Wutong, why don't we go directly to the war?"
Xiao Wutong laughed: "Hahaha, go directly to the war? Then the two of us will become mummies!"
Then Xiao Wutong said: "If you want to enter the army, there are three ways."
"What three types?" Zhang Chu asked.
At this time, Xiao Wutong said: "The first type, those who have reached the level of cultivation can enter the body physically, but the danger is very high. Ordinary venerables who dare to step directly into this area may turn into mummies. As for the venerables and below, Don’t even think about it.”
Zhang Chu nodded, and he also felt that the world ahead was very unsuitable for life.
Xiao Wutong continued: "Either, take a special treasure car or treasure boat, and pass through this death restricted area under the protection of the treasure."
Zhang Chu thought for a moment and realized that he did have a piece of rattan armor on his body, which contained a strong aura of life, but he was probably not of a high enough rank to physically enter it.
At this time, Zhang Chu asked: "What's the last way?"
Xiao Wutong said: "The last option is to pay enough money and walk around the city."
"Bianhuang Sin City?" Zhang Chu frowned: "The name of this city doesn't sound very good."
Xiao Wutong took a bite of dried peach: "Good man, who entered the war? If it weren't for helping you get the crab roe bowl, I wouldn't want to take this road."
With that said, Xiao Wutong chose a direction and said to Zhang Chu: "Let's go to Bianhuang Sin City."
Xiao Wutong pointed the way, and the two of them walked in the same direction.
After walking for more than an hour, Zhang Chu was hungry again.
Gu Gu Gu Gu...
Xiao Wutong heard the growling sound of her stomach. She immediately stopped and said in a depressed tone, "I will get tired of eating tiger meat every day."
Because the body of the Three-Eyed Demon Tiger Demon King was too big, and the flesh and blood of the Three-Eyed Demon Tiger Demon King contained so much power that even if Zhang Chu could eat it, he would not be able to consume it all quickly.
Therefore, these days, the two of them eat tiger meat when they are hungry.
At this moment, two huge rhinoceros-like monsters blocked the way of Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong.
"Si Niu!" Xiao Wutong's eyes lit up.
Zhang Chu also swallowed a mouthful of saliva. These two things were extremely fat and round. Although their armor was as solid as a turtle shell, their fat bodies could not hide their delicious nature.
The two oxen stared at Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong with the same greedy expressions.
These are two demon king-level oxen. Although they claim to be vegetarians, how can they be vegetarians if they have reached the level of demon kings.
They love to eat people.
Especially cultivated humans, to them, they are simply the most delicious food in the world.
However, their territory is too close to Ronghuang, and few humans pass by.
They don't dare to go deep into human territory to hunt. Now, when they see two humans in the spirit-building realm passing by, how can they let these two demon kings go?
At this moment, the gluttons in the bellies of the two oxen have long been aroused.
At this time, a oxen said angrily: "Humans, you are so brave, you dare to break into my territory and say, are you here to steal my blood-drained broccoli?"
The other oxen also swallowed a mouthful of saliva and shouted: "They must be here to steal the precious medicine. Husband, let's stew them both. I haven't eaten human flesh for a long time."
Zhang Chuze looked excited: "You actually have seasonings! Not bad, you are so sensible."
Xiao Wutong also nodded vigorously: "Yeah, yeah, Dijin stew, it tastes delicious just thinking about it."
The two-headed bull demon king was suddenly stunned. Is this human being a fool?
The husband of Si Niu said angrily: "Human, you think too highly of yourself. Your meat is not worth my blood!"
Zhang Chuze laughed: "I mean, it's just right to use your precious medicine to stew your meat!"
"Seeking death!" The husband of Si Niu flicked his head, and a black wind swept towards Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong.
Xiao Wutong's eyes lit up: "I'll beat the female, you beat the male, let's see who gets it first!"
As he said that, Xiao Wutong ignored the black wind, took one step forward, and rushed towards Si Niu's wife.
Zhang Chu then casually punched him, smashing the magic of the husband of the si niu into pieces. He rushed directly in front of the husband of the si niu and threw the si niu with his bare hands.
Soon, the two oxen were stunned. Although they were demon kings, they could clearly feel that Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong were still in the spirit-building realm.
However, these two people are as ferocious as each other, one is arrogant and domineering, like the god of war descending from the sky, and the other is nimble and agile, like a mountain elf.
In just a few rounds, the two huge oxen were thrown to the ground, with their legs in the air and unable to get up.
"Hey, we were wrong!" Sir Si Niu's husband begged for mercy loudly.
"Don't eat us, I'll give you the bloody brocade." Jin Niu's wife also shouted.
Zhang Chu's stomach growled: "But I'm hungry."
The Niu Niu's wife immediately shouted: "Don't eat us, we have twelve children, I called them to come, their meat is tender and juicy, you can eat them."
The husband of the Si Niu also shouted: "Yes, eat them, don't eat us. We are called the sacred cows of thousands of miles, and they were originally mounts."
Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong's eyes lit up, this suggestion is not bad.
Half an hour later, several little oxen entered the red copper cauldron, and a royal medicine, Blood-exhausted Dijin, was added to it.
The billowing steam of the red copper cauldron surged forward, and the aroma of meat and medicine blended together, making Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong salivate.
Two demon king oxen were lying not far away, shivering. This man had eaten too much, and the two little oxen had not yet filled his stomach!
Not long after, Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong were full, and each of them rode a oxen and set out on the road.
Suddenly, a strange and majestic sound came from the sky, as if a giant object fell from the sky.
The sound was so terrifying, and it appeared so suddenly that Zhang Chu was taken aback.
He quickly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a huge ship sailing past the sky, the bottom of the ship covering half of the sky, and the entire ship seemed to be rolled over by huge dark clouds, giving people a terrifying feeling of suffocation.
Xiao Wutong said: "This is the Two World Wheel, which is specially designed to communicate between Zhongzhou and Southern Wilderness. It can ignore the dry atmosphere of Ronghuang and drive directly through it."
Although the thing seemed slow, almost in the blink of an eye, it flew over the heads of Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong, and the whole world dimmed.
Looking up, you can only see the dense symbols and restrictions on the bottom of the ship.
Although it seemed to be pressing on people's heads, it actually flew very high. However, the hull was too big, making Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong feel that it filled the sky.
It flew very fast. After a few breaths, the giant wheel had passed by, the sky became clear again, and the giant wheel had already flown into the deserted sky.
After a few more breaths, the thing quickly became smaller and disappeared from the sight of Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong.
"This thing...how fast can it be!" Zhang Chu was shocked. It was incredible that such a huge wheel disappeared from the sight of Zhang Chu and Xiao Wutong in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Xiao Wutong said: "It's pretty fast. The last time I came here, I took this thing to fly here. It took less than three days to reach Naihe State from Yueying Continent."
"Is this a passenger ship?" Zhang Chu was surprised.
Xiao Wutong shook his head: "It's not a passenger ship, it's a cargo ship. There is a lot of trade between the nobles in the Southern Wilderness and Zhongzhou. My family has several such fleets."
Zhang Chu stared at this: "Wait a minute, your family still has such a fleet!"
"The ship that just flew by belongs to my family. Didn't you see that there is a huge logo of Yueyuezhou on the bow of the big ship?"
Zhang Chu was shocked. He didn't pay attention to any signs, but he could tell that Xiao Wutong was a rich woman!
Far richer than Zhang Chu imagined.
