Two World City was located 300 miles away from South Mountain City. It was a very special city.
What was special about it?
The east – west Xiong Nan Mountain was near Two World City. If one turned east, it would become north – south. If one walked south along the mountain range, there would be countless dangerous peaks and poisonous swamps that martial artists didn't dare to step into. If people who were trapped in the Xiong Nan Mountain wanted to leave, they could only think of a way from the east – west Xiong Nan Mountain.
Two World City was born. If one headed south from Two World City and crossed the Xiong Nan Mountain, they would reach the wide official road built by the Yaoguang Empire.
Hence, all the trade caravans and martial artists who wanted to leave would set off from Two World City and cross the Xiong Nan Mountain. Gradually, a relatively safe mountain road was formed. The original Two World Village slowly became Two World Town, and then Two World City.
If Ling Dong wanted to leave South Mountain Region and reach Yaoguang City, he had to set off from Two World City. Cross the Xiong Nan Mountain according to the martial artist's path.
Actually, if Ling Dong's cultivation was a little stronger, at Xiantian Realm Level Six or Seven, Ling Dong could rely on his own abilities to leap over any part of Xiantian Mountain. He wouldn't have to worry about the ferocious beasts that could pounce out of the mountain at any time.
But now, Ling Dong's cultivation hadn't improved for half a year. He could only play it safe and cross the Xiong Nan Mountain from Two World City.
Due to the large number of martial artists who frequented the Xiong Nan Mountain in Two World City, there weren't many beasts here. Most importantly, there shouldn't be any terrifying Earth Realm beasts hiding here, so he could cross the Xiong Nan Mountain without worry. If there were, Two World City would have been destroyed after so many years.
After resting for a night in Two Realm City, Ling Dong bought some dry rations and water to replenish his supplies. Then, he went to the trading market of Two Realm City. He planned to find a Demon Hunter Squad with an escort mission to leave. It would be safer that way.
After all, the mountain road wasn't like the main road. It was extremely rugged and there was no one to ask for directions. If one wasn't familiar with the terrain, the chances of getting lost were very high. Therefore, Ling Dong needed a guide. Joining the hunting team and leaving with the team was the safest way.
If Ling Dong were to hire a demon hunter squad as a guide at a high price, chances were that he would be ambushed by the demon hunter squad on the way. These days, there were too many martial artists who underhandedly slaughtered fat sheep.
The laws of the Yaoguang Empire didn't even apply in the cities, let alone in the ungoverned mountains.
Moreover, it was very dangerous to travel alone in the mountains. Not only did one have to be careful of demonic beasts, but they also had to be careful of groups of martial artists. This was one of the reasons why gangs were so prevalent.
What made Ling Dong depressed was that after standing in the market for half a day, not a single hunting team wanted a stranger like him. A few hunting teams shook their heads and left after seeing his age and the fact that he was at Xiantian Realm Level Two.
Some people even asked about Ling Dong, "Which family are you from? Why didn't he look for his own clansmen when he came out to train? A young master who was fed pills like yours might have his legs turned to jelly the moment he saw a demonic beast! "
Even if Ling Dong said that he had killed demons and seen blood, no one would believe him.
After standing for half a day, Ling Dong was very depressed because he couldn't find a guide. He was already considering if he should use the simple map he bought to enter the mountains alone.
Speaking of which, the map he bought for a hundred taels of silver was really simple. It only marked a few routes and didn't even indicate where there were water, peaks, or dangers.
Just as Ling Dong was about to leave, a young man suddenly took the initiative to mock him, "Brother, I heard that you're looking for a guide. What's the price?"
"The price depends on the goods, right? Are you familiar with this area? What's your cultivation level? "Ling Dong sized up this young man who took the initiative to approach him cautiously. His skin was slightly yellow, he was of average height, and he wasn't tall. The most eye-catching thing about him was that he was very handsome!
That's right, Ling Dong had originally thought that his chiseled face was manly enough! He didn't expect the person in front of him to be even more handsome than him. He had a high nose bridge, thin lips, and eyes that were full of vigor.
"Of course, I'm familiar with this area. I've been a guide here for four to five years. Even with my eyes closed, I can cross this Xiongnan Mountain Range! Xiantian Realm Level Six! "the young man said.
"Brother, you're so young, but you're already at Xiantian Realm Level Six. Impressive!" Ling Dong was slightly surprised. This young man in front of him was definitely not over thirty years old, but he was already at Xiantian Realm Level Six. He definitely had some background.
"Oh right, you're alone? How should I address you? "Ling Dong looked behind the young man, but he didn't see any companions.
"My surname is Wang, and my first name is Mu! I'm alone, a lone ranger! Why, brother, are you looking for a demon hunting team? Aren't you afraid that they'll swallow you whole? You don't have to worry about me being a guide, right? In addition, I'm very familiar with the heads of the few gangs here! "The young man named Wang Mu skillfully introduced the gang.
"Lone ranger? Are you a hacker who specializes in taking advantage of the rich? "Ling Dong was slightly surprised.
Among these martial artists, there were all kinds of people. There was a type of person who ran around alone, tricking martial artists with low cultivation but a lot of wealth into entering the mountains. When they reached a secluded place, they would suddenly kill them and steal their wealth. On the continent, these martial artists were known as hackers.
This was something that Ling Dong only knew after joining a gang.
"If you're really a hacker, I'm afraid that you won't make a move!" Ling Dong laughed coldly in his heart. He was afraid of beasts. If they came in groups, even the gods wouldn't be able to stop them. Against beasts that only knew how to kill, a martial artist's calculations wouldn't work!
However, if he were to face one or two martial artists who were below the Disha Realm, Ling Dong wasn't afraid at all. Half a year was enough for Ling Dong to accumulate his wealth.
"Within five days, bring me across Xiong Nan Mountain! Ten thousand taels of silver! "Ling Dong shook his head and said a price. At the same time, it was also a test.
"Ten thousand taels of silver, not a bad price!" The martial artist named Wang Mu nodded. "However, Xiong Nan Mountain is steep and winding. It'll take more than a few hundred miles. No matter what, it'll take at least ten days!"
Hearing this, Ling Dong nodded. Since this person could point out that there wasn't enough time, whether he was a hacker or not, he would be a qualified guide.
"Deal, when do we leave?" Ling Dong asked.
"If possible, bring some supplies and we can leave now!" Wang Mu said.
"Then no problem." Ling Dong casually took out five thousand taels of silver and handed it over. "Half first, the other half after we leave the mountain!" Ling Dong said.
Seeing the silver, Wang Mu smiled and took the silver. After carefully putting it away, he went to a few shops to buy some meat jerky and supplies. Then, he brought Ling Dong up the mountain.
Wang Mu was quite capable. He brought Ling Dong up the mountain and walked on the roads that had been passed by people. He was very experienced.
When they set up camp at night, the place where they chose to set up their tents was very remote. He also dealt with some small problems during the journey perfectly. Ling Dong couldn't find any fault with him.
Other than the somewhat uncommon weapon, he also had a whip spear. It was an extremely unpopular weapon.
It could be used as a whip or sometimes as a spear. Its lethality was very high. Along the way, they encountered a few Xiantian Realm small beasts. He took the initiative to deal with all of them. He was completely like a responsible guide, not like a hacker who specialized in killing people and robbing people of their wealth.
However, Ling Dong didn't relax at all. In his previous life, he had experienced countless life and death situations. He knew that if he was careless, death would come the next moment.
Ling Dong and Wang Mu had been in the Xiong Nan Mountain for four days. They had already covered one-third of the journey.
"Brother Ling, it's getting dark. We can't go over the mountain tonight. The higher the mountain, the stronger the wind. It's not safe. Why don't we rest early today and set off early tomorrow?" Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Wang Mu put his hand on his forehead and said.
"Well, as usual, you tidy up the tent. I'll go hunt a wild rabbit or something. Then, we can eat some hot food tonight!" Ling Dong said.
On such a safe journey, they could hunt some wild animals to comfort their stomachs. If it was a strange place, then he couldn't do it. The smell of barbecued meat would easily attract demon beasts.
Hunting wild animals was a piece of cake for Ling Dong, who was a veteran in the mountains and forests. While tidying up the wild animals, Ling Dong quietly placed a small bronze mirror beside him. He gently kicked it with his foot and adjusted his position. With the help of the reflection of the bronze mirror, he began to carefully observe Wang Mu who was setting up the tent.
His technique was very skillful, but also very strange. This was why Ling Dong used the small bronze mirror to observe Wang Mu.
Just the day before yesterday, when they were resting in the camp, Ling Dong accidentally found that Wang Mu, who was setting up the tent, was constantly observing him while setting up the tent.
His gaze also changed from the usual gentle to fierce, and his gaze stayed on Ling Dong's feet for the longest time. This made Ling Dong a little surprised. Could it be that Wang Mu found out that he was wearing a pair of camouflaged Cloud Chasing Boots?
Or was he waiting for an opportunity to deal with him and complete his act of killing and robbing him of his wealth? Every time this happened, Ling Dong would be very careful. In this world, there were too many people who failed miserably at an easy task.
The sizzling aroma of the oil made Ling Dong and Wang Mu's appetite soar. After applying some of the seasonings they brought, it was even more delicious. When he took a hind leg from Ling Dong, Wang Mu couldn't wait to wolf down the meat, and asked as he ate.
"Brother Ling, the meat you roasted is too delicious. I think it's even better than those … those chefs in the city. It's been four days, and I haven't eaten a bad one. Where did you learn to do it? "Wang Mu asked curiously.
"After staying in the mountains for a long time, the ability to roast meat can be forced out even if you don't know it! It's the same for you. If you lived in the mountains for four or five years, it would be hard to not learn it! "Ling Dong said indifferently.
Wang Mu was stunned when he heard this, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. "Brother Ling lived in the mountains for four or five years? I think Brother Ling is only eighteen or nineteen years old, right? And no matter how I look at it, Brother Ling looks like the son of a rich family. How could you have lived in the mountains for four or five years? "
Hearing Wang Mu's words, Ling Dong also knew that he had misspoken, but he didn't panic. He only said mysteriously, "Some things, what you see may not be the truth …"
"What I see may not be the truth?" Wang Mu was confused by Ling Dong's words.
"You've been through a lot, so you'll naturally understand this!" Ling Dong added.
Hearing Ling Dong's words, Wang Mu almost laughed out loud. 'You're just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old son of a rich family, and you're pretending to be an otherworldly expert. Who are you trying to fool?'
Eating was only a small interlude. The sky in the mountains darkened very quickly. After dark, Ling Dong and Wang Mu both went into their own tents to rest.
Although they said they were resting, they were actually cultivating first and resting later. Every martial artist who had broken through to the Xiantian Realm was hardworking. Ling Dong was like that, and so was Wang Mu.
Although Ling Dong's cultivation didn't have any effect now, Ling Dong still sat down cross-legged and began cultivating after entering his tent.
Many things were very strange. It was like accumulating strength for a long time. If you tried nine hundred and ninety times and still didn't succeed, maybe you would succeed on your thousandth try.
If you persevered, maybe there would be a change. This was Ling Dong's current mentality before he found Liu Yaoguang.
However, to Ling Dong's disappointment, today's cultivation was the same as usual. There were no changes!
The cyan Battle of Stars could no longer increase one's cultivation base. As for the golden-white Battle of Stars, no matter how Ling Dong circulated the second layer of the Heavenly Big Dipper Technique, no matter how fast it spun, it could not absorb even a trace of Gang Qi into the golden-white Battle of Stars.
As an old monster who had lived for three hundred years, Ling Dong didn't give up in his mind. He just mechanically circulated the Heavenly Dipper Technique.
Ling Dong's ears were full of the roaring mountain wind, but he felt a little helpless.
He didn't know when the mountain wind had suddenly become extremely fierce. When it blew the tent, it also brought an inexplicable fear!
Woo woo woo!
When the mournful mountain wind sounded, there was a sudden exclamation nearby. The voice was a little out of tune, and it seemed to be Wang Mu's. Could something have happened?
Ling Dong was thinking about ending his cultivation and going out to take a look when he felt something tighten above his head. The mournful mountain wind suddenly blew on Ling Dong's back, startling Ling Dong.
"F * ck, the wind is so strong. Wang Mu, how did you set up the tent?" Seeing that the tent was directly blown away by the wind, Ling Dong couldn't help but curse. Without the tent at night, would he have to drink the mountain wind all night?
Although he still had a spare tent in his Universe Ring, it couldn't see the light.
"How would I know? If you don't want to drink the wind all night, then hurry up and chase!" Wang Mu also anxiously shouted. In the night wind, his voice sounded very strange.
"Chase …" Ling Dong, who was about to get up, suddenly paused. His expression was extremely surprised!
Inexplicably, at the moment he was about to end his cultivation and get up, the golden-white Heavenly Dipper Technique in his body suddenly seemed to come alive. It actually took the initiative to absorb a trace of Heavenly Dipper Technique!
