Chapter 2598 - 2598 Cleansing wind city (1)
2598 Cleansing wind city (1)
After killing more than ten cultivators from the fourth battle area and the monster leader, Tang Zhen left the valley without any hesitation.
Tang Zhen was not interested in killing the remaining monsters and cultivators from other battlefields.
His current level was too high, and the rewards he got from killing low-level monsters and cultivators were nothing to him.
Instead of wasting time, it was better to hurry to the next location.
It turned out that during this period of time, cultivators from loucheng city in the same battle area had provided clues that a nearby city had been occupied by the fourth battle area.
According to the information he had gathered, a few loucheng cultivators who were quite famous in the fourth battle area were currently staying in the city.
The space of the map was limited, and it was impossible to write down all the information. As for the specific situation, he would have to arrive at the destination and personally explore it.
Therefore, Tang Zhen left in a hurry and waded through the mountains and rivers according to the marks on the map.
As for why he didn’t choose to fly, it was because it consumed too much energy, and the speed was not much faster than walking on the ground.
In addition, there was a risk of being exposed by the cultivators of loucheng who were hiding on the ground.
In this world, the density of cultivators in Lou city was too high, and enemies were everywhere.
If he was exposed too many times, he would definitely be noticed by the enemy, and then they would link some things to him.
In order to ensure the smooth execution of the plan, he naturally had to keep a low profile as much as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.
They also encountered some monsters along the way, but they were all ordinary wild beasts infected by demonic Qi. They were unable to harm Tang Zhen at all.
After about a day, Tang Zhen arrived at his destination, a place called cleansing wind city.
When they were still a distance away from the city, Tang Zhen saw a group of cultivators from Lou Cheng, leading ordinary soldiers to patrol the road.
A team of more than a hundred people was a mighty force. If they encountered a small group of monsters, they would have the ability to fight.
Compared to Heaven’s Wall city, cleansing wind city controlled a larger area of safety, so they basically didn’t have to worry about food.
Lou Cheng’s cultivators and the natives cooperated actively, turning the nearby area into a hunting area. Then, they used rich rewards to stimulate the natives to hunt monsters.
Almost all of the adventurers in cleansing wind city were out. Although there were casualties in the process of killing monsters, more adventurers became cultivators.
Cleansing wind city’s experience told him that only through such cruel life-and-death battles could he grow quickly.
Although the defense system of the Heaven’s Wall city could allow more residents to survive, it required a certain amount of luck and courage for the natives to become cultivators.
Tang Zhen didn’t continue to hide. Instead, he took the initiative to contact the residents of cleansing wind city to obtain more information.
Of course, he wasn’t going to use the identity of Lou Cheng’s cultivator. He was going to disguise himself as a native and a lucky person who had killed a monster.
At this moment, Tang Zhen was wearing a tattered raw leather armor. He was carrying a rusty, sheathless battle blade. The blade of the blade was uneven like a saw.
The patrol members revealed cautious expressions when they saw Tang Zhen appear from the side of the road. They immediately surrounded him.
“Kid, where did you come from?”
A muscular man with a long beard and dark-red skin, who was wrapped in a copper ring, asked. At the same time, he waved the axe in his hand, and his tone was somewhat fierce.
At the same time, he also deliberately released a trace of aura to intimidate Tang Zhen and to show his identity as a cultivator.
Tang Zhen was able to tell with a single glance that this axe was only a tool that ordinary people used to chop firewood and not a battle axe that was used in battle.
Looking at the man’s clothes and the traces of Labor left on his body, it could be confirmed that he was an ordinary farmer not long ago.
Tang Zhen secretly laughed in his heart, but his face revealed a terrified expression. He used a somewhat timid voice and said,”I’m a villager from mu na village. The monsters attacked our village and killed all the villagers.
I killed a monster with all my might, and then, for some reason, I became stronger and stronger.
I’m the only one left in the village, and I can’t live there anymore, so I wandered around until I saw you.”
Tang Zhen’s current appearance was extremely similar to that of a timid little villager who had unintentionally become a cultivator.
After hearing Tang Zhen’s words, the cultivators in the patrol team looked at each other and nodded their heads secretly.
Situations similar to Tang Zhen’s were not uncommon during this period of time. All of them had inexplicably become cultivators after killing monsters.
Of course, there were more unlucky ones who didn’t kill the monsters and became their food.
“You’re quite lucky, kid. You didn’t get killed by a monster, and you’ve awakened your extraordinary power.
There are many people like you in cleansing wind city. If you’re willing, you can join us in fighting the monsters.”
The one who spoke wasn’t the big-bearded man, but a cultivator from Lou Cheng who was leading the team. He had been observing Tang Zhen all along and confirmed that there was nothing suspicious.
“Follow you to fight the monsters?”
Tang Zhen revealed a trace of hesitation and worry on his face as if he was weighing the pros and cons. However, he quickly nodded.
“Alright, I have nowhere to go anyway, so I’ll join you!”
After saying these words, Tang Zhen even revealed an expression as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden. The corner of his mouth lifted into a smile.
“Don’t worry, you won’t regret your choice, just like me!”
The big-bearded man waved his fist and walked in front of Tang Zhen. After which, he used a disdainful gaze to look at his battle blade.
“Your weapon is too broken. It will break if you use a little force. I don’t think you can even kill a rat.
Why don’t I get a blacksmith to fix it for you? you don’t have to worry about the high price. If that guy dares to charge you more, I’ll kick his ass!”
The big-bearded man would never have imagined that Tang Zhen’s worn-out saber had once killed more than a dozen cultivators in the fourth battle area, as well as a Demon King that led tens of thousands of monsters.
An expert like Tang Zhen usually had the ability to turn something rotten into something magical. Even if it was just a piece of scrap metal, he would still be able to kill his enemies until they were trembling in fear.
“There’s no need to trouble you. I’m pretty good with this saber.”
Tang Zhen smiled and shook his head, indicating that he would get an even better weapon if he had the chance.
The big-bearded man didn’t force him. He brought Tang Zhen to join the group and walked towards mufeng city.
Along the way, the big-bearded man rambled on and on. It looked like he was chatting, but in fact, he was verifying Tang Zhen’s identity to prevent the enemy from sneaking into cleansing wind city.
Tang Zhen was naturally clear about the big-mustached man’s thoughts. However, he absolutely did not expose him. He only cooperated and put on a show.
After discovering that Tang Zhen had no problems, the bearded man immediately changed the topic and invited Tang Zhen to join their patrol team.
as long as you join our team, you’ll be able to follow us in hunting monsters. The rich rewards will definitely make you happy.
The bearded man said in a flaunting tone. Since it was not a secret, the cultivator leading the team did not stop him.
It turned out that there was a ruin near cleansing wind city. There were many monsters inside, but the exit was firmly blocked by cultivators from Lou Cheng.
The residents of cleansing wind city took turns to enter the ruins to kill monsters. While controlling the monsters, it also gave the residents of cleansing wind city a shortcut to become cultivators.
The biggest beneficiaries were still the cultivators of Lou city. With their powerful strength, they had completely taken control of cleansing wind city.
Under the management of the cultivators in the fourth battle area, cleansing wind city would become stronger and stronger, and eventually become the Overlord of the nearby areas.
When the conditions were met, cleansing wind city would definitely attack Heaven’s Wall city and eliminate all the cultivators in the fifth battle area.
Similarly, if the Heaven’s Wall city became powerful, it would not allow this city controlled by the 4th battle area to exist.
There would definitely be a battle between the two sides!
