It's been a cold day for several days, and the cold wind is sharp.
Seeing that the new year is approaching, the weather in the hinterland of Daxia is gradually getting colder.
The hazy clouds completely blocked the warm sunshine, and there were very few people in the undulating mountains. Even the monsters and beasts had already gone into hibernation.
Leading a group of women's soldiers to walk on the rugged mountain road.
Xue Yun's expression was dull, and it was difficult to move forward against the biting cold wind.
As for mood.
He has also fallen to the bottom, and has reached the point where he has no hope for life.
"Damn it, this deal isn't a good deal..."
Drooped eyelids.
Xue Yun walked alone at the front of the team and muttered without looking back: "More money, you must add money!"
Last night.
After Dongfang Haoyue's research, everyone discovered that they were actually on the northwest border, at least hundreds of kilometers away from the hinterland of Snake City.
in other words.
If you don't use transportation and just walk, even if you walk non-stop for several days, you may not be able to reach your destination.
Even if Xue Yun left everyone behind and turned on the "Absolute Arms" state to fly all the way, it would still take at least a day and a night.
However, the "Alliance Conference of Princes" is about to be held.
If you want to reach Snake City before then, the ordinary way is obviously no longer feasible.
After deliberation, Gongsun Su, who was still a local snake, put forward the most reasonable suggestion.
Judging from the map, there is currently only one satellite town closest to them, which is Anfu Town two kilometers away.
This is a small town with a population of 80,000. Although it is located in a remote location and does not have a transportation hub with Snake City, there must be usable communication equipment in the town.
After contacting Snake City through this, I believe that a spaceship will come to respond soon.
Only in this way can the fundamental dilemma be solved, and it is also the most time-saving and labor-saving solution.
more importantly.
Anfu Town is one of the very few satellite towns that has not been captured by the Imperial City so far.
in other words.
This very remote satellite town is still under the control of Snake City. There are even night watchmen under Snake City stationed in the city. Everyone can have a good rest there. It is always more comfortable and safer than wandering around in the wild. Much more.
Ever since.
Everyone hit it off immediately, barely rested for a night in the forest, and set off as soon as daybreak.
But what people didn’t expect was——
Originally it only took more than an hour to walk, but because I was carrying a lot of oil bottles, I had to walk for more than two hours without even getting out of the forest mountains.
"Idol, I can't stand it anymore!"
His eyes were filled with rage.
Gongsunsu put his hands on his hips, looked back at the large group of shambling women's soldiers behind him, and suggested: "Otherwise, let's just ignore these women. Anyway, the direction has been confirmed, and we will fly all the way to Anfu Town. Besides, come back and rescue them later.”
Hear the words.
Xue Yun couldn't help but stop. For a moment, he really wanted to give up his job and run away.
But when I looked back at this group of frail women and children, I felt a little guilty in my conscience.
More importantly.
Living in the mountains and forests, if Fan loses the protection of his aura, these girls may encounter a sudden attack by powerful monsters in the wild at any time.
after all.
There are very few freaks who don't like human women with thin skin and tender flesh. Even if they are not cut into eight pieces for dental sacrifice, it would be a good choice to take them back to warm the bed.
"Forget it, bear with it a little longer."
Shaked his head.
Xue Yun sighed softly, rolled his eyes and said: "Who told me that I have already signed a contract with them? The basic spirit of contract still needs to be there, otherwise, no one will dare to discuss business with me in the future... ....”
Hear the words.
Gongsun Su suddenly burst into laughter.
Years of following Xue Yun have given him a deep understanding of his idol.
Xue Yun is really greedy for money.
But keeping his promises and being benevolent have always been his principles and bottom line.
Because they were afraid of trouble, they abandoned innocent orphans and widows, putting them in danger.
Xue Yun would probably not be able to do this kind of treachery and burning bridges.
Shrugging his shoulders.
Gongsun Su simply calmed down and stopped complaining. He couldn't help but speed up his steps, hoping to leave this ghost place as soon as possible.
The entire journey was silent.
After everyone walked along the rugged mountain road for about half an hour, Gongsun Su at the front suddenly stopped and shouted ecstatically: "Here we are, we have arrived at Anfu Town!"
Narrow your eyes.
Xue Yun raised his head and looked into the distance.
In the distance of the undulating mountains, I saw a very inconspicuous isolated city standing among the peaks.
Green and steep, clouds cover and fog surrounds.
Anfu Town, not far away, is extremely quiet, as if you are in a sky attic deep in the mountains. Viewed from a distance, it gives people a strong illusion of depth and mystery.
I saw the city right in front of me.
Everyone's morale was instantly boosted. After traveling long distances over mountains and ridges, everyone was already exhausted.
Ever since.
Under the leadership of Xue Yun, everyone cheered up and helped each other across the last hill, and finally arrived at the city at the foot of the mountain smoothly.
"People in the city, listen up!"
Hands on hips.
Looking up at the city tower built on the mountain stream, Gongsun Su immediately shouted loudly: "I am Gongsun Su, the heir to the Gongsun family in Snake City. Open the city gate immediately and come out to welcome us into the city!"
The high-pitched shouts echoed in the mountains and forests for a long time.
After a long time, there was still no one on the tower, and no one responded at all.
"what's the situation?!"
He raised his eyebrows.
Gongsun Su immediately became furious, rolled up his sleeves and angrily shouted: "Where are the guards in Anfu Town? Damn it, why are they all dead? Why don't you come out to see me quickly!"
The wind is blowing and the fog is surrounding.
The silent city tower stood as still as a dead mountain peak, and even the interior of the town was silent.
"What's wrong?"
Dongfang Haoyue stepped forward and was a little confused when he saw the situation, so he said: "It's too quiet. Could it be an empty city?"
"This place..."
He couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Xue Yun felt a little surprised and murmured to himself: "There seems to be something wrong."
"Damn it!"
The dignified prince of Snake City couldn't open the gate of a satellite town under his command for a long time.
Gongsun Su cursed secretly. Just when he was about to summon the poisonous dragon to attack on the spot, the originally motionless city gate was suddenly and slowly pushed open without any warning.
Click click click......
The sharp sound of metal friction suddenly started.
The city gate of Anfu Town opened on the spot, and a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi slowly walked out of the fog.
"The Anfu Guard King is always here to welcome the young master..."
After saluting Gongsun Su, the middle-aged man's tone was extremely cold and biting.
The Wang Changzai in front of him had dull eyes, and there was almost no color on his face.
Apart from his expressionless face, his movements seemed a bit stiff and strange.
The most intuitive feeling is that it is like a corpse just dug out of the ground.
It looks lifeless...
