The western part of Bieyuan Island.
A turquoise mountain range undulating from west to east.
Somewhere in the mountain range, a huge mountain peak that rises straight up into the sky pierced into the sky, reaching a height of more than ten thousand meters. It looked so majestic and majestic.
At this time, in the unknowingly deep hillside, the four walls are full of pits and pits, and there are several long and narrow passages winding forward. Judging from some sloping rock walls, the passageway faintly leads to a deeper place in the belly of the mountain. As the passage deepens, the pits on both sides of the rock walls gradually become scarce.
At the end of the day, there were only a few traces that seemed to have been dug out on both sides occasionally.
All over the two sides of the rock wall, light green light the size of rice grains began to appear, like green stars, and the passage seemed to be filled with a light green atmosphere.
The sound of metal collision, metal and rock knocking, also began to linger.
It turns out that this place is a rare natural spar vein in the deep hidden mountain. At the end of a certain mine, dozens of miners in dilapidated clothes were silently mining with a hoe made of a dark metal with a dull look, and some fine gravel was rolled down from time to time by their feet. At first glance, it seems that most of them are human races, but there are also non-human races such as orcs. Several people in the human race seemed to be dressed up as monks, but there was no aura of spiritual power from them.
Suddenly, with an imperceptible muffled sound, one of the human miners who looked like a monk fell to the ground motionless.
The miner next to him, without even looking at him, continued his work, as if he had become accustomed to all of this.
…
At the same time, somewhere in Gunan City, not far to the south of Jinggu, one of the three powers of Bieyuan Island, in a tall stone hall made of unknown boulders, a man wearing a lavender robe The tall figure, facing an alien who looked like a guard, put a white jade slip on his forehead. Judging from the aura it exudes, he is unexpectedly a powerhouse of the Crystallization Stage cultivation base.
After a long while, I saw him move the jade slip from his forehead.
"Guzhong is here again to urge mine slaves to ask for coolies. Recently, it has been quite frequent. You can go to the prison, and abolish the cultivation bases of those who want to fight in Chengzhongfang City recently, and escort them to Guzhong for business. "I saw this tall figure smashing the jade slip into pieces casually, and slowly said, the voice was slightly old.
"Yes, the elder!" The guard agreed, then stepped back and executed the order.
The purple robe figure is still standing with his back on his back, seeming to be pondering something.
…
"Uncle Ye, the city in front should be Gunan City."
On the shuttle-shaped flying boat, Liu Ming in a gray robe was standing at the front and looking into the distance. He suddenly turned around and said to the rear.
Ye Tianmei, dressed in white, was sitting cross-legged on the back of Feizhou, closing his eyes and adjusting his breath. He just nodded slightly thoughtfully, and didn't say much.
Seeing this, Liu Ming smiled and turned around and continued to look forward. During this period, he seemed to have become accustomed to how Ye Shishu was often lukewarm.
It has been more than half a month since I left that port town, and I had a little inquiries along the way, and I already had some understanding of the situation on the island and the southern city of this valley.
Bieyuan Island is rich in aura and is an excellent place for cultivation. Therefore, the birth rate of monks on the island is also quite astonishing, which is basically three or four times that of Yunchuan Island. Because of this, ordinary mortals on this island also often participate in spiritual stone trading, which is no surprise to the monks.
Jinggu, as one of the three major powers of Bieyuan Island, although it is in open and secret struggles with the other two powers, it also maintains transactions on the surface. At the same time, because of the many rare spiritual stone vein resources it controls, it also attracts people inside and outside the island. Sectarian forces trade frequently with them.
As the closest base to Jinggu, Gunan City itself was established by Jinggu, and it has attracted many well-known merchants for it. Naturally, Jinggu also knew the importance of this city, so he appointed a strong man in the early stage of crystal transformation to sit there for a long time. Therefore, most outsiders would not dare to provoke trouble in this city easily, otherwise the consequences would be two things to say. In the slightest, he was expelled from the city, and in the worst case, he was directly destroyed by the powerful crystal valley powerhouse through the external tyrannical mana.
After all, in places like Bieyuan Island, you only recognize your fists but not people, and whoever has a strong fist can survive. This is also the last word of natural selection. Around the southern city of this valley, there are still some small and medium-sized forces and sects entrenched, many of which are secretly attached to the valley.
"It seems that things are a bit more complicated." Liu Ming thought thoughtfully.
…
It was early in the morning, and the sky was just getting bright, a red sun slowly rose not far away, and a golden halo slowly shone onto the city with one side of the backing mountain and the other facing the sea.
The city is quite large, with more than hundreds of miles. Looking from the air from a distance, the walls are gray and all the buildings in the city are made of large black stones, which looks neat and orderly. At this time, there were already pedestrian caravans inside and outside the city gate.
The dozen or so guards in uniform armor standing at the gate of the city are watching the flow of people with awe-inspiring expressions, carefully checking those who want to enter the city, and sometimes talking in low voices. Of course, this check is only for those who want to enter the city. For those who want to go out, no one has ever asked about it.
The armors worn by these city guards were lavender, and they were all wrapped tightly from beginning to end. But judging from their body shape, the disparity is quite large, and it seems that they are not like people of the same race. The so-called inspection is nothing more than holding a piece of peculiar mirrors and scanning the faces of those people non-stop.
In the high altitude of the entire Gunan City, there were no restrictions like light curtains.
The sky above the city was empty, but there was no one who dared to leap directly over the black stone wall that was several tens of feet high and directly enter the city.
Ye Tianmei and Liu Ming didn't land directly in the flying boat, but watched from a distance in the air for a while before they landed somewhere nearby.
As two overseas visitors, naturally there is no need to worry about what will be found out.
The two of them then reduced part of their breath and entered the city with the flow of people.
…
At this moment, the streets in Gunan City are crowded with people, and it is very lively.
There are many shops on both sides, and almost every door is bustling with each other.
"This distance should be almost the same." After Ye Tianmei walked to a nearby street, he immediately stood by the side of the road and stopped.
Liu Ming's eyebrows twitched, but in the end he didn't ask anything.
Ye Tian's eyebrows shook his sleeves, and an inch-sized white jade disc appeared out of his palm. With a pinch with the other hand, the disc began to gleam. After a while, an imperceptible phantom flew in from a distance. Upon seeing Ye Tianmei, his eyebrows stretched out and looked at the disc in his hand.
But seeing that the whole disc is somewhat translucent, and there is a faint shadow swimming faintly inside, then it slowly stops and points in a certain direction.
Half an hour later, under the guidance of the disc, the two came to the gate of an inn called "Bibo" beside a relatively remote street in Gunan City.
It is impossible for a general inn to be built in such a secluded area, after all, there are no guests here. But for some people who don't want to attract attention, this is the best choice.
"The place where the two deacons of the alliance left the last mark should be here." Ye Tian stood blankly, his pupils shrinking slightly, and said slowly.
…
Somewhere in the inn in a quiet courtyard.
The courtyard is full of various lush flowers and trees, full of unknown flowers of various sizes.
A winding gravel path leads directly to the door of a seemingly ordinary guest room.
In the guest room, a man and a woman were standing carefully checking something. It was Ye Tianmei and Liu Ming who had been found along the way.
"It seems that the two deacons are indeed cautious. Not only are the selected inn located in a remote location and not attracting attention, but the rented courtyard is also so secluded." Liu Ming put down a tea cup in his hand, so Said.
Before entering the inn, the two asked the shopkeeper of the inn to inquire. After roughly describing the specific characteristics of the two deacons, they knew that the two had lived here a few months ago.
The two of them rented a small courtyard at that time. After paying off the rent for one month, they asked not to be disturbed. However, after three or four days, I did not check out and disappeared inexplicably. At that time, the shopkeeper thought that he two were going out on business, and he didn't think much about it. As a result, after one month, the two of them had not yet appeared, and the shopkeeper realized that something seemed to be wrong. Checking the houses of those two people did not see any luggage. After a long time, the matter would naturally cease. After learning that the courtyard has now been rented by several Haizu guests, Liu Ming found those people without Ye Tianmei's orders, and showed his strength a little bit, but both hard and soft stunned them away.
…
After some inspection, nothing seemed to be discovered.
"It seems that the two did not leave any clues here."
Liu Ming sighed and said helplessly.
Ye Tianmei didn't talk to each other. After hesitated for a while, he flipped his hand, and a small tripod covered with silver threads flew out of his hand. After a while, he was suspended in the air.
Ye Tianmei kept pinching his hands and reciting a few words, and a mouthful of essence and blood sprayed onto the small cauldron in the air, and the silver light suddenly flourished.
"This magic weapon contains the blood of the deacons from the alliance who went to sea to purchase. It may be effective within a certain range." Ye Tianmei's face was a little pale, but his expression was calm.
I saw a slight crackling noise in the small cauldron in the air, and then the silver light flickered on the surface. Two thumb-sized blood-colored light balls slowly appeared in the cauldron, and then they turned into two blood shadows and shot out in the room. An inconspicuous corner of the middle disappeared.
At a glance, there were a few drops of black blood in that corner.
