After leaving the entrance of the Abandoned Sword Villa, he turned west and went north along the Song River until he entered a sparse grassland.
The World of Eight Cultivators was vast, and the terrain was very complicated. Even within a province, there were many changes. Take Feilan Province for example. The Abandoned Sword Villa was located in a fertile plain, the Moon Worshipping Cave was located in a hilly area, the Purple Flame Sect was located in a mountain range, and the Dragon Emperor Palace was located in a turbulent river.
As for Soaring Sky City, it was located in a barren desert.
There weren't many residents here. Most of them were herders, and most of them were plundered by Soaring Sky City. As a result, the land was even more sparsely populated.
This place was barren, but there were many kinds of monster beasts. Therefore, some people came here to hunt and obtain all kinds of precious materials.
Of course … due to the rise of Soaring Sky City in recent years, fewer people came here to try their luck. After all, in addition to dealing with the ferocious monster beasts, they also had to be careful of the bandits. It was too much for them to handle.
Therefore, Shen Zhenyi didn't meet any of his companions at the beginning of his journey. However, he didn't care about it. He walked slowly every day, comprehending sword intent and improving his body.
Like him, he could improve himself almost every minute and every second.
Moreover, there was no end to it.
Along the way, many monster beasts passed by Shen Zhenyi. Some of them didn't have eyes and were killed by his sword. If they were far away, he just turned a blind eye to them.
Some of the materials on the monster beasts were quite precious, but since they were useless to him, he just left them behind.
After about seven days, he finally passed through the grassland and arrived at the Gobi Desert.
The natural environment here was even crueler, and there were even more ugly and ferocious monster beasts. The habitat of the Dragon Eagle wasn't far from here.
That night, the weather was cold and the stars were dim. For the first time, Shen Zhenyi came across a hunter's camp.
When it was almost evening, he saw a fire in the distance. As he walked, he found that there were hundreds of people gathered here, making a lot of noise.
Shen Zhenyi recalled that this place should be the Beigu Village at the source of the Song River. Merchants, hunters, and wanderers all gathered here to trade, rest, and inquire about information.
This was probably the last resting place before entering the Dragon Eagle Desert.
Shen Zhenyi was still dressed in white, so he did not attract much attention when he walked into the camp.
"Why is a pale-faced scholar here? Wouldn't it be suicide for a young master to come to such a place? "
"He doesn't even have a bodyguard by his side. Could it be that he's just a fledgling? Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers? "
"Judging from his extraordinary clothes, he is either rich or noble. It is better not to offend him!"
"Bah! After arriving at Beigu Ji, who cared about one's background? They are all fugitives. Even if he dies here, is there anyone who can find out who did it? "
Beigu Ji was a desolate place in the wilderness. Life and death were a constant show. No matter who you were, as long as you lost your life, your body would inevitably be buried by the yellow sand. Even if your family had the power to reach the heavens, it would still be very difficult to find out the truth.
Seeing that Shen Zhenyi was quite rich, many people became restless.
Shen Zhenyi could feel the lingering malice, but he remained calm and collected. He walked to a stall selling pancakes in Beigu Ji and asked for two scallion pancakes and a cylinder of water.
The pancake seller was kind and reminded him in a low voice, "Little brother, why did you come to such a place alone? If you get separated from the bodyguards, quickly go back and meet up with them. You should know that no matter how ferocious the demonic beasts are, they are not as ferocious as the people of Beigu Ji … "
Shen Zhenyi smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your reminder, boss. I understand."
In a chaotic place, the fist was the rule. It was the same no matter what world it was. Shen Zhenyi understood this situation very well, but he had no intention of changing it. As long as these people obediently did not provoke him, they would still have a chance to see the sun rise tomorrow.
Seeing that he did not listen to his advice, the boss sighed and did not dare to say more.
There were already many fierce gazes sweeping over. He was just a businessman and did not have the ability to protect a reckless teenager.
Shen Zhenyi took the pancake and sat down on a wooden stool next to the stall. He carefully tore the pancake and swallowed it while it was still hot. He only felt that his teeth and cheeks were fragrant. This boss's skills were unexpectedly good.
"Hey!"
A drunkard sat across from him aggressively and shouted, "Do you have any money on you?"
Shen Zhenyi glanced at him and answered absent-mindedly, "Yes."
The drunkard rolled his eyes and laughed strangely, "Then take out a few dozen taels of silver and lend it to this uncle. I'll go over there and gamble. If I win, I'll return it to you!"
This was a typical case of bullying strangers. If Shen Zhenyi was timid and took out the money, then what followed would be endless extortion.
"I won't lend it."
Shen Zhenyi drank a mouthful of water and casually looked into the distance.
This kind of scum was not even worth his time. As long as he dared to stretch out his hand, the sword aura would cut off his hand.
The drunkard was furious. He slammed the table and was about to attack. "You're shameless!"
"Wait!" A woman in red squeezed in front of Shen Zhenyi and reached out to stop him. She scolded, "Old Ninth Chen, you still dare to be a tyrant here? Haven't you suffered enough yesterday? "
The drunkard was stunned. When he saw the woman and the group of people behind her, his expression changed slightly. He knew that he could not afford to offend her. He snorted and left.
The woman in red turned her head and patted Shen Zhenyi's shoulder. "Little brother, there are all kinds of people here. You really shouldn't have come. Just listen to the boss and leave quickly! "
They all felt that Shen Zhenyi was a noble young master who was alone and should have guards nearby.
Shen Zhenyi shook his head and smiled. "I want to rest here for a night. After that, I will continue north to hunt Dragon Eagles. I appreciate Miss's kindness. "
Although the woman did not help him much, she saved him out of kindness. Shen Zhenyi had always been gentle to such people. There were too many bad people in this world, and there were never enough good people. Of course, he should be more polite to them.
"You want to hunt Dragon Eagles?"
The woman in red raised her eyebrows in surprise. "You … how many elite guards did you bring?"
An adult Dragon Eagle had the strength of a Perfected Person and could fly in the sky. If one was not at the fifth tier of the Perfected Person Realm, it would be very difficult to hunt it. Moreover, there was Soaring Sky City in front of them. How strong was this noble young master's hunting team that he dared to have such ambitions?
"Just me."
Shen Zhenyi replied indifferently.
