attack city

"Teacher He, be careful, Tieshan is very cunning." Xiang Yang informed He Qingqing, "Let's go in the opposite direction and the probability of encountering Iron King City will be greater."

Xiang Yang feels that it is still a bit difficult, but this method is more preferable, because the probability of the two cities acting separately is greater.

"Okay, you should also be careful. Iron King City's combat effectiveness is very strong. They once hunted three county-level cities. Not only did they cause some damage to one city, they also successfully escaped."

He Qingqing said: "At that time, they were only at the town level."

What Xiang Yang said just now was actually explaining to He Qingqing that they would also join the hunt for Iron King City, at least here, anyone could hear it.

But He Qingqing didn't think there was anything wrong. Instead, she was a little worried because she didn't know what the combat effectiveness of Shenlong City was like.

"Understand, if we encounter them, we will not let them escape." Xiang Yang said.

Then, the two cities separated and set off in two different directions.

But the God of Luck did not favor them. After several days, they found nothing. He Qingqing thought that Iron King City had left and gone to other places.

Therefore, Jade Bird City plans to go to the Xishan Mine to have a look.

Xiang Yang didn't think Iron King City would go in that direction because he had never heard of it appearing there in his previous life.

He believed that Iron King City was either still hidden near the Shahu Trading Ground, or it had crossed over the U-shaped concave area of ​​the plateau and returned to the Swordfish Bay area.

Because the Shahu Trading Place goes north, across the Mohe River, you will reach the desert, heading towards Langling and Liulicheng.

If you don't know the way, you won't easily go too far into the desert.

He knows the way, and he won't go for a stroll around Liulicheng.

Because after crossing the desert is the area controlled by Liuli City, if you know how to get there, you must also know what city's sphere of influence is there.

With Tieshan's personality, it is impossible for him to provoke a metropolitan city.

To the south is the direction of the Crocodile Valley Trading Ground. The land cities in the second stage are generally inaccessible because they are blocked by mountains and there are only a few dangerous canyons as passages.

But the sky city can be passed from high altitude, but I have never heard of the Iron King City appearing there in my previous life.

Going southwest, you will enter the plateau area, which is a very dangerous area. There are several large disaster areas in it, and no city has ever passed there. The map there also goes to the edge of the disaster area, which is the periphery of the plateau, and there is no interior.

So if you want to leave, the only way left is to go west and cross the plateau.

If you don't leave, you'll still be hiding here.

But Xiang Yang couldn't explain the reason in depth, and Jade Bird City didn't think that Iron King City would fight back because several waves of cities at the Swordfish Bay Trading Ground were trying to hunt Iron King City.

It’s not just Jade Bird City.

It's just that Jade Bird City came from a relatively far away place and couldn't find reliable collaborators in Swordfish Bay. In addition, they were a county-level aerial city, so they pursued it alone.

In fact, after Iron King City entered the town level, there were many cities hunting them, basically one after another.

But there were only a few chances to find Iron King City. The most likely success was when three county-level cities encircled them, but they still managed to escape.

The final result was that Jade Bird City still went to the Xishan Mine to have a look.

Shenlong City continued to search here for several days, but still found nothing.

"Maybe Jade Bird City is right. Iron King City went in the direction of Xishan Mine and Crocodile Valley Trading Ground. It is also possible that it went to Mohe Trading Ground."

On this day, after returning to the Shahu Trading Ground, Wu Zhongjun said.

He actually couldn't understand why Xiang Yang was so persistent in searching around here.

Of course, others can't understand either.

"The Crocodile Valley Trading Ground is too far away. There is basically no news from there, and there is little news from the Xishan Mine." Bai Qianxue also said: "I feel that it is better to stay at the Xishan Mine or go to the Mohe Trading Ground.

More likely."

Over there from the Crocodile Valley Trading Ground, there are not many cities that come to the Xishan Mine.

The number of visits is also relatively small, and they are all in cities that are not at the county level. I am usually more cautious and don't reveal too much information.

Therefore, there is naturally very little news about the Crocodile Valley Trading Ground.

This is the characteristic of a trading market. The larger the scale, the more famous it is and the easier it is to be known. The smaller the scale, the fewer people know about it.

Like the Liuli Trading Place, not many people know about it because it is separated by a desert, which is scarier than the plateau.

There are many people at the Swordfish Bay Trading Ground who know about the Liuli Trading Ground, so Jade Bird City can easily buy the map to the Liuli City.

In fact, from a geographical point of view, starting from Shahu, to find the Crocodile Valley Trading Ground, you usually need to walk along the mountains, otherwise it will be difficult to find it.

But generally, land cities cannot cross when they encounter mountains when going south, so they can only go around the Xishan Mine.

The same goes for starting from the Xishan Mine. You need to walk along the outside of the mountains. The same goes for there. There are some dangerous sections in the middle that need to be avoided.

Because the number and frequency of cities going to Xishan Mine is not as high as other places, the crawler tracks are very sparse and only one road.

If you follow the only track for a long time without knowing where the track leads, in the wild, if this situation lasts too long, most cities will give up.

Therefore, it is more difficult to find the Crocodile Valley Trading Ground by chance from Shahu and Xishan Mines than it is to go to Crocodile Valley from Mohe.

Because the track from Mohe to Crocodile Valley is very wide, you can tell at a glance that there are many cities passing by.

"I also agree with Captain Bai's guess." Yu Bin also said.

Xiang Yang still didn't speak. He pondered for a long time before opening the internal video communication channel and asking Qian Youliang: "Qian Youliang, what do you think? With Tieshan's character, where do you think he will go?"

Qian Youliang thought about it for a moment before replying: "Maybe I'm just here to confuse others."

"Confusing others? How do you say this?" Bai Qianxue asked.

Although Xiang Yang was in video communication with Qian Youliang, the voice line was still on the public warrior channel, so everyone else could hear it.

"Imagine that there is a plateau between here and the Swordfish Bay Trading Ground. Only aerial cities can climb over it, and there are not many aerial cities, let alone those above the county level."

Qian Youliang explained: "If I am a cautious person but at the same time a bold person, I will only be afraid of people from the security department and not anyone else."

"The security department here is not the police, but the city that is hunting the Iron King City."

"Other cities can be regarded as just ordinary people, and they are all targets of Iron King City."

"Then, all Tieshan needs is to avoid the cities that are hunting them and create the illusion that they have left."

"Most of the cities that are hunting Iron King City have formed temporary alliances, and several of them are moving at the same time. Once they know that Iron King City has left, they will either chase after them or dissolve the alliance and give up their hunting plan."

"And re-forming a temporary hunting alliance takes time and is not that easy."

"A better way is to find several isolated places. After moving from one place to another, the allied cities that temporarily hunted them can't chase them and can only disband."

"The plateau is a very good blocking place."

"Iron King City can take turns visiting several separated places without any rules."

"The Lord of Blue Bird City also said before that Iron King City has appeared near several trading venues on the plateau side."

"In just over two years, I have moved to so many places and visited almost most of the areas on the opposite side of the plateau. It is very unusual for a city that can only survive in the wild."

Generally speaking, cities need to be very familiar with places where there are frequent activities, especially water supply points. Without the intelligence support of trading venues, these are difficult points.

"Surviving in the wild is more difficult. I always change places. Isn't this making it difficult for myself?"

"Don't you think the Shahu Trading Ground is very good? It's a county-level place, and the number of cities is not that many. It can provide cities of all levels."

"If I were Tieshan and I acted in the same way as before, I would include the area around the Shahu Trading Ground into my scope of activities," Qian Youliang said.

"In other words, for a county-level bandit city, this place is very ideal. It can complement the Swordfish Bay Trading Ground and become two areas isolated from each other for committing crimes. It is more ideal than anywhere across the plateau."

Xiang Yang answered and said: "So, after Tieshan discovers this, he will not go to the Xishan Mine in the short term at least."

"Yes, if this inference is true, he will only try his best to become familiar with the geography here."

Qian Youliang analyzed: "Once they rob the city here and find that a city wants to track them, they will probably continue to cross the plateau and hide in the Swordfish Bay Trading Ground for a few months."

"If Tieshan knew that the information about his crossing the plateau and coming to the Shahu Trading Ground had been known to the Swordfish Bay Trading Ground, then he would definitely judge that the temporary hunting alliance there had been disbanded."

Xiang Yang said: "So, he can cross the plateau again and hide there to rest, because they are familiar with it."

"As for this side, just hide there for a few months and then come over here and get familiar with it, because then it will be safer here."

Xiang Yang also thought of this just now. He originally wanted to ask Qian Youliang first and then talk about it himself, but he didn't expect to think of it together.

"In other words, Iron King City has robbed a city here. Because they are not familiar with the surrounding area yet, it may be difficult to escape even if they are tracked."

Bai Qianxue muttered: "So he judged that the area near the Swordfish Bay Trading Ground was safe, so he went back to repair and move around there. When he was hunted there again, he fled here."

"That's basically a guess." Xiang Yang nodded and said, "I think this inference is very likely to be true."

"It makes sense."

Others think about this analysis. Although it is not absolute, it is indeed possible.

"Let's give it a try. Anyway, it's more convenient to go back to the Liuli Trading Ground from the Swordfish Bay Trading Ground via the coastline."

Xiang Yang said: "It takes longer than crossing the desert, but it is safer and the time is basically enough."

"Then let's do it."

So they decided to cross the plateau and head to the Swordfish Bay area.

Crossing the plateau is actually not a straight line, flying from high altitude.

Instead, you may need to hide when you reach some locations, because there are still lairs of energy monsters near the route, and they often come out.

Some places must find ways to escape the crisis quickly.

But there are not many places that really need to be crossed quickly, just a few.

The climbing route information provided by Jade Bird City is very detailed. It can also be said to be a guide. It even includes several landing points for emergency escape, and there is also an entrance to the underground world.

The aerial city cannot travel on the ground, but if you are skilled, you can fly diagonally directly into the large cave at the entrance to the underground world.

Because the entrance and exit tunnel is huge, absolutely huge.

As long as you are not discovered and followed by an energy giant, it will be safe to hide inside.

Shenlong City strictly followed the information and spent two days crossing the U-shaped plateau area and entering the middle reaches of the Jianyu River.

Once here, it is much safer for county-level cities.

Shenlong City began to land, passing over the ground and walking directly along the Jianyu River. The Jianyu Bay Trading Ground is located near the downstream outlet of this giant river. It is a county-level trading ground.

It's not difficult in the past, but it's still far away, thousands of kilometers away.

Time is tight now, so Shenlong City travels faster than usual. It took ten days to enter the radio contact range with the city in the trading venue.

There is no information about Iron King City on the bulletin board.

Xiang Yang released a transaction information about selling supplies. Sometimes, if handled properly, some information does not need to be purchased and can be obtained through casual conversation during contact.

Contact during transactions is the best opportunity.

After arriving at the destination, Xiang Yang discovered that although it was a county-level trading place and there were many cities, the proportion of county-level cities was actually not large.

At the same time, there were more than 400 cities inhabited, but there were only a dozen or so counties.

Of course, there are many county-level and town-level cities, especially county-level cities, which are much more than those two levels of cities in ordinary county-level trading venues.

Therefore, Shenlong City's entry into the trading market still caused a bit of a stir.

Someone contacted them quickly after they posted the transaction request form, and it was easier to inquire about the information through conversations during the transaction.

After all, if higher-level cities ask some routine questions, ordinary cities will be less likely to refuse.

But it is a pity that the news about Iron King City here still only stops at escaping across the plateau to the other side.

That is to say, even if Iron King City returns, this side will not know about it.

A possible explanation is that after Iron King City returned here, it was still dormant and did not move out.

Of course, it's possible that he didn't come back.

Now that Xiang Yang and the others came here, they settled down as they came, sold goods along the way, continued to inquire about news, and sometimes went out to search.

Nearly a month has passed and I have no clue.

"It looks like we came here in vain. We will start returning to the Liuli Trading Ground tomorrow."

Xiang Yang also felt a little depressed, but this was originally in their estimation. It was not that easy to find a city in such a large area.

In the past, the cities here set out to hunt, and there were not many times when they actually found Iron King City.

So they don't care anymore.

Anyway, there will be time and opportunity in the future. Iron King City and the others are determined to hunt, sooner or later.
