The ultimate urban ancient martial arts

Chapter 108 On the road

Company Shen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. This time he didn't let Chu Rui leave. In the end, he was still alone. He smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and then touched the hair of the ghost girl Wei'er who just came out of the inner world, and

It was the little black bird they were riding,

I originally thought that what the little black bird said about being able to change in size was just a joke, or maybe it was just a strange beast that was a few meters in size. But now that my feet were stepping on the soft feathers like black satin, I realized that the giant beast under my feet was no less powerful.

An existence like an ancient divine dragon.

The strong wind made Company Shen's clothes rustle, and the ghost girl Wei'er next to her couldn't bear the knife-like airflow from high altitude and penetrated into the inner world again. The black protective energy on Company Shen's body automatically protected his body, which was quite happy.

The giant black bird that is several feet in size under its feet looks exactly like the phoenix in ancient Chinese legends, except that except for the tail, the rest is covered in jet-black hair like ink. Despite this, this giant bird still exudes a noble and proud look.

His temperament made Mr. Shen unable to stop talking.

Although the Shen Company caused a huge disaster in the imperial capital of the Chu Kingdom, he was not afraid at all. What a joke, with the little black bird's current size and power, a small flame is enough to turn them into a pile of black scum.

The only thing Shen Company is currently worried about is the elusive old voice at the last moment. It is definitely a terrifying existence, and it is definitely much stronger than itself. It is most likely an old monster that has lived for an unknown amount of time.

The weather is extremely hot. The hot golden crows are radiating their light unscrupulously. The leaves on the trees are hanging listlessly. Only the summer cicadas are chirping non-stop, unaware of the heat. Of course, these cicadas are not blood-sucking carnivores.

Then I don’t know.

The little black bird was so fast that Shen Company no longer knew how far away from the imperial capital it was. With this hellish black bird, those cultivators from the Chu Kingdom who were waiting for an opportunity to chase them would not be able to catch up again, and under the orders of Shen Company

I would turn on a small fire from time to time, and I could always hear the low and muffled screams. It wasn't until after flying more than a hundred miles that the pursuers hiding in the dark were gone.

Today's battle in the imperial capital has simply made him a public enemy of the entire Chu State. I'm afraid it won't be long before he becomes the most wanted enemy of the entire northern country. He felt a burst of emotion in his heart and said: "Hey, I didn't expect that the north of the country would be punished again."

Offended, is the life of labor and management really so unlucky? No matter where you go, you will offend people."

Company Shen sat on the back of a broad bird and meditated, practicing quietly. He silently thought about the ninth level of Xuan Gong. Although Chu Rui did not go with him, there was no sadness in his heart. Thinking of his experiences in the past few months, he

He looked a little dazed.

He ordered the little black bird to fly low and land, and finally the two of them set foot on the Lost City in the east-west direction again. Along the way, Company Shen and the ghost girl Weier kept bickering, and the little black bird also interjected from time to time, Shen

The company likes this feeling very much

.The Shen Company, which has always been low-key, began to run with the ghost girl Weier in his arms. However, the ghost girl Weier was too beautiful and always attracted other passers-by’s attention. In order to be more low-key, the Shen Company simply took the ghost girl Weier into the car.

Got the carriage.

Half a month later, the two men and the beast finally arrived at Tantai City. There are two roads here, one leads all the way north to the western border of Chu State, and the other goes straight south for hundreds of miles, and then turns west and passes through the mainland.

The lost city in the mountains of the central zone, heading to the eastern continent.

Looking at the lifelike white jade statue in Tantai City Square, Shen Company felt that it looked familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember who it was.

"Hey, you have a living beauty next to you, why do you have to go see the statue!" The ghost girl Weier loudly protested her dissatisfaction. Company Shen scratched the ghost girl Weier's nose dotingly and smiled, and said

Nothing much was said.

The two of them and the beast stayed here for one night, but Company Shen, who was always cautious, did not dare to sleep too much. Seeing the ghost girl Weier hugging the pillow and sleeping soundly with a smile on her face, Company Shen's heart slowed down.

Slowly relax and fall into sleep.

On the second day, the two men and one beast set out on the road to the lost city early in the morning, and the ancient city of Tantai gradually disappeared behind them. This road runs through both the northeast and is the most important trade road on the road.

The daily passenger flow is very large, making this border area not peaceful.

Along the way, the two of them slept in the open air, and finally arrived at Dingfeng City, the easternmost gateway of Chu State. This city is tall, sturdy but not gorgeous. It is the most important choke point between the east and north and the other two directions.

Therefore, it is a battleground for many big forces, and the gate of the city is heavily guarded. Although it is not the era of great turmoil, it is still regarded by many as a military fortress. The soldiers in the city are mainly responsible for the goods of merchants.

, check out their stuff.

Before Company Shen entered Dingfeng City, it was natural that they would have to give a lot of advice to the ghost girl Wei'er, and Little Blackbird was no exception, otherwise it was very likely that they would not be able to pass the interrogation.

Sure enough, before entering the city, the two of them were subject to strict interrogation. Fortunately, Shen Company always lied and deceived people, so they managed to get away with it very well.

Of course, Ghost Girl Weier was naturally beautiful, but the soldiers who were interrogating were always careless. Ghost Girl Weier's face turned red with anger. Company Shen quickly threw down a few gold coins and pulled Ghost Girl Weier and ran into the city, fearing that the human nature in front of them

The beast went wild. It is worth mentioning that the ghost girl Wei'er's body is actually stronger than Shen's body now, which made Shen's company depressed for a long time.

Although Dingfeng City is located in a border area, the city is extremely prosperous. There is one industry that is particularly prosperous in the city, and that is mercenaries.

Exiting Dingfeng City is the vast mountains. On the road leading to the Western Continent, there are not only all kinds of ferocious birds and beasts, but also some powerful bandits, so people traveling on this road usually go together.

, and even most people will spend money to hire some mercenaries to ensure the safety of life and property.

Company Shen brought the ghost girl Weier and the little black bird hovering above their heads to the mercenary union in the city. It was noisy and chaotic inside, and the walls were covered with various notices, all large and small.

The characters can be as small as catching pigs and slaughtering sheep for the rich man's family, or as big as going to some horrific ruins to collect treasures from heaven and earth.

This is probably similar to the unions in the West. The most expensive task at present is actually a task to find a head, and the person who issued the task is actually the great demon Xingtian who has not been seen for a long time. This made Shen Company stunned for a while.

Although there are many people who have accepted this task, no one or organization has been able to succeed so far, and the price of the bounty has been soaring higher and higher. Most people have never returned, and very few people have taken up this task today.

Company Shen just thought to himself: "Did that tough guy Xing Tian not find his own head?"

Most of the employers who come here are going to the Eastern Demonic Realm or the Northern Human Race to try their luck. Of course, most of them hope to have the opportunity to enter the Lost City. If they want to deal with the bandits on the road, a few

Mercenaries are often not enough. In most cases, many people with the same purpose join forces to hire a mercenary group.

A shabby-looking man with a full beard walked towards Shen Company carrying a big sword and said: "Brother, do you want to find a mercenary as a bodyguard? Choosing me is definitely a wise choice. The man known as the "King of Mercenaries" is

I'll keep you safe on your journey."

Several mercenaries nearby said in unison: "Tch...if you are the king of mercenaries, we will still be the kings of mercenaries."

The big man said: "Oh, don't say the word 'future', I am the mercenary king of the future."

Company Shen has seen that this big man is indeed a strong man, and his cultivation has reached the sixth level, but for some reason he is willing to be an ordinary mercenary.

"Brother, what do you think? Look at the little girl next to you. She is such a stunning beauty. She must have encountered a lot of similar troubles on the road. If there is no one with strong skills, you, a little lady, are very likely to suffer.

It’s dangerous!”

The ghost girl Wei'er's face turned red with anger: "I'm not his little bitch, I'm her niece. Do you understand, niece?"

The big man said: "Oh... there were no nephews in the turbulent years. Crazy people are not psychologically distorted. Even eating their own children is a normal thing, let alone xx, let alone xx

Not to mention my niece!"

Although Company Shen's face is a little dark, he doesn't care at all. What the big man said is not wrong. The great turmoil was a scar on human beings. Although Company Shen was said to be a psychopath by others, he still possessed ghosts.

Little girl Wei'er is so cheap and so hypocritical, look at how straightforward the mercenary man in front of you is!

"Oh! Could it be that my brother hasn't taken action yet? You should take action when you know it's time to take action. If it's too late, be careful and you'll have a lot of dreams at night!" The big man chuckled, his big eyes that were originally confident revealed a wretched look.

Company Shen laughed and said: "Wait a minute, hers is still too young..."

…

Faced with two bad men, the ghost girl Weier was so angry that she almost went crazy. She picked up the teapot on the table and threw the tea cup away. Company Shen and the big man quickly hid aside, but the people nearby were not so lucky.

Some people were showered with hot tea, which caused a lot of yelling in the mercenary union. Company Shen quickly took the ghost girl Weier and escaped.

The big man with a full beard also followed out and shouted to Shen Company: "It's really dangerous for you two to go on the road. If you hire me, I will ensure that you have a safe journey."

Company Shen stood still and shouted: "We are going to the Lost City. I heard that there are a lot of robbers along the way. Can you handle them by yourself?"

The big man said: "One hand of mine is enough to deal with those rabble. Besides, we are not going on the road alone. A group of businessmen have hired a mercenary group. I am familiar with their leader. I will go on the road with them to ensure your safety."

Incomparable.”

Although Shen Company was not afraid of bandits on the road, he was not so confident after bringing the ghost girl Weier with him. To be on the safe side, he decided to go on the road with those mercenaries.

"Okay, we'll come here to find you tomorrow morning." After saying that, he walked out with the angry ghost girl Weier.

The big man shouted from behind: "That's it!"

Back at the inn, the two of them quickly ordered some food and fell asleep in a hurry.

On the second day, Company Shen and the ghost girl Weier hurried to the mercenary union hall. When the big man saw the two people, he waved repeatedly, and when he came closer, the ghost girl Weier gave the big man a big white eye.

The big man didn't care and laughed.

There are about a hundred people responsible for protecting the entire caravan. Except for the leader, who is an eighth-level superpower user, most of the others are warriors who practice fighting spirit, and there are also many magicians. There are many magicians these days.

Although it is expensive, it is an unsavory profession that is despised by others.

The leader is a middle-aged man in his forties, followed by a several-meter-long earth dragon beast. This big guy is seven or eight meters long, with shining black scales. It looks quite ferocious.

The first five level ferocious beasts.

The bearded man said: "This trip is absolutely safe. With me as the king of mercenaries, and the powerful leader and giant beast in front of me, I believe that no blind robber will dare to take action."

Company Shen said: "How many gold coins are needed?"

The big man said: "One hundred gold coins per person, a discount for two people, one hundred and eighty gold coins."

Company Shen said: "Nima, you are stealing money. Ten gold coins are enough for an ordinary family to live for a month. You are just escorting us for a ride, and you are offering such a sky-high price."

"Then one hundred and fifty gold coins!"

"No, fifty."

"One hundred and twenty!"

"No, eighty!"

…

Finally, Company Shen took out two second-level magic cores from his pocket and gave them to the other party.
