Huo Bao and the other three were riding on war horses. Hearing this, they rode forward and said, "Shier, we are almost at the next supply point …" As they spoke, there was a commotion in front. Huo Bao said, "I'll go take a look!"
Chen Bing said, "I'll go with you."
The two of them galloped forward and returned after a while. Huo Bao said, "We caught a wandering savage and locked him in a metal cage. Hehe, we will see him soon. Their carriage is almost here."
A furious roar was heard, followed by a painful roar.
In a short while, the carriages passed by the opposite carriages. It was the first time that Guo Shier saw a living savage. It was the wandering savage that he had seen in the books.
What he saw in a book was different from what he saw in reality. When the carriages passed by each other, the giant wandering savages in the huge iron cage left a strong impression on Guo Shi 'er. That thing was a beast in human form, full of blood and violence. Guo Shier estimated that the fellow was two hundred fifty to sixty centimeters tall. It was naked and covered in black hair. It was covered in mud and dried blood. A foul smell came from it.
The savage was fixed on a hardwood frame. Long talisman nails were nailed to his wrists and ankles. His body was bound by thick metal chains and there was a circle of talismans around his neck. It seemed to be to prevent him from using his strength. Guo Shier realized that when they passed by the carriages, the savage was staring at him fiercely. A bloodthirsty aura rushed towards him.
Huo Bao and the rest turned pale. They were all stunned by the savage. Guo Shi 'er snorted and said, "Do you think a barbarian who can't move is worth being afraid of?"
The few of them could not help but blush. Huo Bao gathered his courage and said, "I'm not afraid!"
Luo Zhan had been following closely behind the carriage. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Indeed, there is no need to be afraid. Even if you face a savage that can threaten your life, there is no need to be afraid. Because … no matter if you are afraid or not, they will not let you go. Courage is the most basic quality of a Talisman Warrior." He was a little confused. Why was Guo Shier not afraid? There was not a trace of fear on his face. It was more of a curiosity.
Luo Zhan suddenly looked up and said, "Old Yang, why are you guys here?"
A burly man came up with a laugh and said, "Old Luo, you are also going to Savage Pass?" He glanced at the carriage and asked, "Who are you protecting this time?"
Luo Zhan smiled and said, "Who else? Old Luo Bao 'disciple. Hehe, I'm just a temporary guard. This is Old Luo Bao Bao's precious disciple. Shier, come and meet this Martial Madman. "
Guo Shi 'er stuck his head out and greeted, "Hello, Uncle Yang."
Old Yang nodded and said in surprise, "Old Luo Bao actually let his disciple go to Savage Pass? It is very chaotic there. This spring is very different from previous years. There are many savages coming, and they are very crazy. Especially this time, there are many Rune wild men hidden among the savages. Their addition has made the savages even more savage and harder to exterminate. "
Luo Zhan said, "I am only accompanying Shier to Ye Guan City. I am not going to Savage Pass. Hehe, Old Yang, where did you catch these Rune Wild Men? Just kill them. Why go through so much effort? "
Old Yang said, "Someone ordered these Rune Wild Men at a high price. Hehe, so we set up a trap … even so, two of my men were injured … Let's not talk anymore. I have to rush back to submit my mission. I still have to rush back to Savage Pass in a few days. Old Luo, take care!"
"Old Yang is a Talisman Warrior?" Guo Shier asked. "I don't see him with an identity talisman."
Luo Zhan said, "Old Yang is an outer sect expert. He brought along a group of brothers and relies on the sect's missions to make a living. Hehe, this guy is not simple. He is very famous among us Talisman Warriors. He specially takes on some troublesome missions. Like this time, we have to capture a living savage. Hehe, savages are easy to kill, but to capture them alive is very difficult."
Guo Shier was very conspicuous in this group. Ordinary Talisman Warrior and Talisman Warrior apprentices did not need to go to the battlefield so early. Only Talisman Warrior apprentices would go as early as possible. However, Guo Shier was the disciple of Great Talisman Master Luo Jie. No one could guess the thoughts of a Great Talisman Master.
The other Talisman Warrior apprentices that could join this group were mostly about to advance to Talisman Warrior. They were also older and had more Talisman Warriors by their side. They were going to Ye Guan City to adapt to the environment. Once they successfully advanced to Talisman Warrior, they would enter the extreme north and start their own cultivation.
Along the way, Guo Shier rarely got off the carriage. Only when they arrived at the supply point would he come down for a hot meal. Normally, he would sit in the carriage and read books. Whenever he was free, he would silently recite scriptures. Otherwise, he would repeatedly take out talismans from the talisman belt. He had to familiarize himself with the position of the talismans so that he could take out the talismans he needed without thinking. That way, he would not panic in battle in the future.
The journey was peaceful. On the road leading to Ye Guan City, there were only disciples of the North Fu Men. All the dangerous elements had been eliminated. Any wild beasts that came within a few hundred meters of the road would immediately be chased away by Talisman Warriors. This road was the logistics line of Ye Guan City. The North Fu Men would not allow any accidents to happen.
Using eight days, a large group of people and horses reached Ye Guan City.
Ye Guan City was only a day's journey from Savage Pass. It was the logistics base of Savage Pass and also one of the main camps of the North Fu Men. Most of the people gathered here were outer sect disciples. The core disciples of the inner sect were the main people in charge of Ye Guan City. Thus, when the inner sect people came here, they would be well received.
As the disciple of an inner sect great talisman master, Guo Shier was allocated a small courtyard in the city. The area he stayed in was guarded by a powerful talisman master. It was the area specially for inner sect disciples and was the safest place in Ye Guan City.
Guo Shier did not want to leave the city. After staying in the small courtyard, he started to find all sorts of reasons to delay the time needed to leave. As for the expectant gazes of Huo Bao and the rest, he completely ignored them. After seeing the savages with his own eyes, he understood that in this world, it was easier for a person to die than a chicken. He had finally succeeded in reincarnating, he did not want to die so quickly.
The Talisman City here was different from the inner sect. It was not only big, but also had all sorts of strange things. Many North Fu Men disciples who went to the extreme north would choose to sell the materials they collected here and then exchange them for the resources they needed before going to Savage Pass.
Guo Shier had only been to Talisman City once before he fell in love with it. He felt that it was a good place to broaden his horizons. There were also teahouses and wine shops in Talisman City. They were all good places to gather information and understand this world.
Guo Shier did not restrict the movements of Huo Bao and the rest. His only request was not to go to Savage Pass. If they wanted to leave the city, they needed to have talisman warriors with them. The outskirts of Ye Guan City would not have any strong wild beasts or savages. Even if they went out to take a look, there would not be much danger.
Guo Shier brought Luo Zhan to Talisman City every day. He never went out alone. This world was too dangerous. If someone went crazy and attacked him, he would not even have a place to cry. He didn't have the impulsiveness of a child, nor did he have the hot-bloodedness of a young man.
Luo Zhan never interfered with Guo Shier's movements. He only followed closely. If they encountered danger, he had to be in front of Guo Shier first. This was his most important mission. "What skin is this?"
Guo Shier stood in front of a small stall and asked.
"Haha, this is the skin of a fire rat. There are eight of them in total. They have already been processed. You just need to use a skin-making fluid to clean them, and they will become very good talisman bases. How many do you want?"
This was a small stall set up by a talisman warrior.
"How much?"
The fire rat was a kind of rat that lived underground. It had a very special ability. It could live in the hot magma underground. Their skin was a natural fire type talisman base, and was very suitable for making fire talismans. A fire rat could only use the palm-sized skin on its back. This kind of fire rat was not easy to find.
"One large talisman coin for one!"
Guo Shier smiled slightly and said, "Two large talisman coins … … eight of them! Your skin is not bad, but a few of them are not well made. Look … … this one is already damaged … … "
The stall owner stared dumbfoundedly at this eloquent little fellow. He had already noticed the talisman badge on Guo Shier's chest and knew that he was an inner sect talisman apprentice. That was a rich person, so he immediately started with a high price. He had not thought that this little fellow was actually an expert at bargaining and directly lowered the price to the lowest.
"How old are you?"
Guo Shier said, "Nine years old! Are you trying to fool me because I'm too young? "
The stall owner had a bitter expression. He glanced at the talisman warrior behind Guo Shier and said with a smile, "How could I … … haha, but your price is too low. If I sell it to you, I will suffer a great loss! Seven large talisman coins for eight of the skins! "
Guo Shier said, "Forget it, I will give you three large talisman coins for eight of the skins! If you are not selling … … I will leave! "
"Hey, how can that be? Six large talisman coins! I only want six! "
Guo Shier said, "Uncle Luo, let's go!"
The stall owner was depressed. Fire rat skin was not easy to sell. There were very few talisman warriors and talisman apprentices in Ye Guancheng. Only they would buy this kind of low level talisman base and take it back to make low level one time use fire talismans. If this child left, he did not know when he would be able to sell it. He could not stay here for long and would soon have to return to Savage Pass.
"Four! I will sell it to you for four large talisman coins! "
Guo Shier walked very slowly. He turned his head and said, "Three! If you can't, then forget it! "
The stall owner had a bitter smile on his face. Seeing that Guo Shier was about to leave, he sighed, "Three … … for you! Hey, which family are you from? Why are you so good at bargaining? "
Guo Shier turned back and said, "Hey, don't complain. You are just a kid, you don't have much pocket money!" He threw down three black talisman coins and picked up the eight pieces of fire rat skin, stuffing them into his backpack. His "I'm very poor" expression made the stall owner speechless.
Luo Zhan held back his laughter. He knew the price of the fire rat skin. One large talisman coin could buy two pieces. The stall owner had the intention to bully the child at first, but he did not expect that Guo Shier would not be fooled and would not hesitate to bargain. The stall owner was eager to sell his goods, so Guo Shier naturally won.
