Lin Yan was very cautious when he set foot on this strange and bloody land. After all, this place has a notorious reputation. If he accidentally fell into it, it would be a lot of fun!
Along the way, Lin Yan slowed down and began to observe the surroundings carefully. Except for the strange black soil, there was no grass growing, and the sparsely growing trees were also bare and lifeless. They seemed to have died long ago!
Scattered bones were scattered on the clearing, some of animals, but more of them were human. They were mixed with gravel and were used as nests for snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
On top of some tall dead trees not far away, there were several figures hanging on ropes. Their bulging eyeballs, long tongues, stiff limbs and cold breath indicate that these people have been dead for a long time.
The ragged clothes and scars all over their bodies all hinted that they had experienced a lot of torture before they died.
The blood mixed with the soil flowed down, and finally condensed into bloody stains on the surface of these people's bodies, as if to tell the story of unwillingness and despair!
As soon as I came in, I saw such an impactful scene. The legends about this place are indeed not groundless.
When traveling in such a dangerous place, you can never be too careful. Along the way, Lin Yan also encountered pedestrians in twos and threes, but they were all wary of Lin Yan and stayed away without coming forward.
Originally, Lin Yan wanted to inquire, but when he saw others reacting like this, he could only give up in frustration. After meeting several waves of people without words, Lin Yan felt a little helpless.
While we are still on the periphery, it will be more beneficial to get more information for future actions. Otherwise, just keep it like this
If you enter the wasteland in a state of "questioning and not knowing", you may not know the reason even if the person is gone! After all, his understanding of the wasteland is only very superficial, and a large part of his understanding comes from books.
The sage once said:
"What you see on paper is only superficial, but you know that you have to do it!" Just hearing about it is not enough, you still have to do it yourself, then you can have a deeper understanding!
Just when Lin Yan was worried, a voice stopped him:
"Little brother, is this your first time in the wasteland?" Lin Yan looked back and saw the source of the voice. It was a person who looked a little... special!
This man has a deer-headed head and a pair of small eyes that are moving around, revealing a sense of shrewdness and calculation.
If he hadn't met him in the wilderness, Lin Yan would have definitely thought that this guy was a complete businessman. He was wearing short clothes, and he didn't look like a warrior, but he didn't look like a businessman, but he looked a bit nondescript.
Lin Yan frowned and said:
"What's the matter?" The man came up after hearing the words, put on a flattering smile and said:
"It's all in vain, the outcome is the loss! I also like to play with money and other things on weekdays, but I lose more than I win, so I'm worthy of the word 'loser'!"
"I don't have any other skills, but I am well-informed. There is nothing in this wasteland that I don't know about! The brothers on the road gave me face and called me 'Brother Xiaobai'. I wonder if I have anything to ask about." Huh?" When he smiled, those two unusual big teeth were exposed.
Unlike ordinary people, these two teeth are thick and long, and they protrude very obviously, like mice!
Listening to this guy's self-introduction, Lin Yan was a little dazed for a moment and said to himself:
"This name is very appropriate. Is it possible that his parents have the ability to predict the future?" Lin Yan shook his head slightly, no longer thinking about this, and asked instead:
"Before I say this, can I ask first, how did you tell that this was my first time in the wasteland?" Bai Negative tilted his head and said
With a sound of "嗐", he said:
"What's so difficult about this? Everyone in the wasteland can see your look!" Lin Yan frowned and thought:
"Are you so evil? If you want to reach the Eastern Tang Dynasty through this place, you must first learn to hide your identity. Otherwise, whether you are captured by the Xuantian Sect or tricked by the 'indigenous' here, it will be a disaster. It’s not a good thing!” Bai Zheng continued:
"Although the clothes you are wearing now are not very classy, I, 'Xiaobai', don't judge people by their appearance!"
"The most important thing is your inner temperament! Just like you, although you try your best to hide it, under my blazing eyes, you have to expose what should be exposed!" As he spoke, Bai Negative paused slightly and said:
"Are you a disciple of a large sect? Looking at this vague aura, you may even be chasing the 'Seven Sects and Twelve Sects'!" Lin Yan's face remained calm, but he was slightly shocked:
"This guy surnamed Bai is okay! He can deduce these things just after meeting him for the first time. It seems he has some real skills!" However, when you go out, you must be on guard against others!
This guy is here to get close to you, he must have a plan! The ancients said it well:
"If you show your courtesy for nothing, you are either a traitor or a thief!" Lin Yan roughly estimated the strength of the other party, and it seemed that he had just reached the acquired realm.
Even if he had bad intentions, Lin Yan thought he could handle it! Even though Lin Yan is also in the acquired realm, the realm does not completely represent combat power.
Apart from anything else, with Lin Yan's level of solidification and his endless methods, even a guy like Bai Leng, five of them tied together, is no match for him!
Therefore, he should be vigilant, but Lin Yan would not be too concerned about the wasted defeat in front of him. Once this guy has any evil intentions, Lin Yan is sure to shut him up as soon as possible!
Faced with Bai Fu's question, Lin Yan didn't say anything
"Yes", but didn't say it either
"No" sends an ambiguous message. Who is Bai Fu? Naturally, he understands that the other person does not want to have a deep conversation. This is also human nature. After all, no one is willing to open up to a stranger he has just met and talk about everything!
If there is, it must be a heartless person, and it is recommended to stay away! He changed the topic wisely and said:
"I was rude just now! In this way, I will introduce you to the basic situation of the wasteland for free, which is considered an apology!" Lin Yan smiled and said:
"Brother Xiao Bai, you're welcome!" Although he said this, Lin Yan looked at Bai Negi eagerly, with the attitude of an aspiring young man with an endless thirst for knowledge, which made the latter feel a toothache.
Bai Guixin said:
"Although I took the initiative, you should stop it at least! You have to give me some money to show your appreciation. If I say it's free, then it's free? I don't know if this kid is really 'sincere' or fake! "Although I think so, the words have already been spoken, and I still have to say them in vain!
Thinking of this, he always felt a little unhappy in his heart! Lin Yan pretended not to know! Just kidding, why spend money when you can get it for free?
Isn’t it nice to be free? As it turns out, it still tastes pretty good! Bai Fu cleared his throat and said:
"The wasteland is located at the junction of big countries. Its special geographical location makes it inevitably exposed to frequent wars. This also leads to this land being filled with blood and curses!"
"As more and more exiles and Jianghu people enter, this place gradually evolves into a special place where three religions and nine streams gather, and dragons and snakes are mixed."
"There are generally two types of people who come here: one is here to escape, and the other is here to trade and hunt for treasure!" Then Bai Fu sneered and said:
"Most of the fugitives are wanted criminals from various countries. Needless to say, this! Although they will not be provided with shelter here, it is difficult for big countries to intervene in the wilderness. This is an invisible protection net."
"As for 'trading', it would be more appropriate to say 'selling stolen goods', because most of the items traded here are not obtained from the right way."
"But no one cares about this. Where there is buying and selling, there is a market, and there are often good things here that are rarely seen by the outside world, attracting people from the outside world to come to search for treasures in an endless stream!" Lin Yan thought for a while, and then said:
"Aren't you afraid of being 'killed and cheated' when trading here?" After all, the wilderness is famous for chaos. Most of the people here are ruthless, and killing a lot of people is commonplace for them.
Money attracts people's hearts and is driven by enough interests. It is difficult for these people with low moral quality to stay rational!
Bai Fu nodded and said:
"This problem was indeed a big problem before. It was not uncommon for people and money to be lost in transactions in the wasteland! However, with the emergence of the three major forces, all this is no longer a problem!" Lin Yan was confused. road:
"Three major forces?" Seeing that Lin Yan's interest was finally aroused, Bai Fu smiled slyly and said:
"Little brother, if you listen further, it will be paid content. You see..." As he spoke, Bai Negi stretched out his hand and gently twisted it with his index finger and thumb. The meaning couldn't be more obvious!
Lin Yanxin said:
"Oh~ So you are waiting here!" He had been wondering why this man was so kind and rushed up to explain the information about the wasteland to him. It turned out that he was planning to
"Luring the enemy deep"! Now I have been aroused by him
"Curiosity for knowledge" is like being scratched by a cat, it's very itchy! Lin Yan asked:
"How much?" Cai Fu stretched out five fingers and said:
"Fifty taels of silver!" Lin Yan frowned slightly and said in his heart:
"It's so expensive! This has to catch up with the expenses of an ordinary family for several months. Now it's just used to buy some ordinary news in the wasteland. What a scam!" But even though he knew this, Lin Yan could only hold on to it. The nose is recognized!
Don't forget, he is being hunted now and has no time to investigate these things slowly by himself.
"Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem!" I had made some money in partnership with Xu An before, so I could still spare a few taels of silver.
After paying the money, Bai said with a smile:
"Thank you for your patronage!" Then he continued:
"The three major forces in the wasteland are the Death Song Cult, the Blood Sect and the Wanbao Tower. The one that redefines the rules of buying and selling in the wasteland is the Wanbao Tower."
"Although it is a chamber of commerce in name, it speaks volumes that so many good treasures can be placed in a place like this without being robbed!"
"Before, there were a few desperate people who wanted to rob a branch of Wanbao Tower. Soon after they entered, they were chopped into pieces and thrown out, which shocked a group of people with evil intentions! After that, no one wanted to do anything to Wanbao Tower again. Lou has had doubts, and a transaction with its guarantee also represents reliability, and it has become a 'golden brand'!" Lin Yan pondered slightly, thinking:
"That's it!" Bai Zhi rolled his eyes and continued:
"There is an auction in Wanbao Tower recently. It is said that there is an important treasure in the world. I wonder if you are interested, little brother?" Lin Yan was about to refuse, but suddenly remembered the martial arts and other skills he had obtained in the ruins, and how to kill Bu Le easily. I wonder if the Buddhist items you brought over can be auctioned?
It's better to use the waste and replace it with some defensive equipment or powerful weapons to make up for your shortcomings at the moment and deal with the pursuing soldiers.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan said:
"How to get there?" Bai Negi smiled, with a shrewd energy in his eyes.
"Hehe" smiled and said:
"I just need a ticket, but for this...you have to pay extra!"
