Duanxiong City, a former coastal city of Nanping State, now belongs to Daqian and has become one of the fifty-nine major cities.
The city walls are tall and white, reflecting the sunlight and appearing particularly dazzling.
This is a contemporary specialty, white salt stone. In addition to being hard, the stone itself tastes salty, and nearby people would take it home to use as salt, but that was in the past.
After the establishment of Daqian, the salt problem had been solved long ago. When the prefect took office, the city was brought back to order and all industries prospered.
There is an extremely spacious avenue in front and behind the city gate of Duanxiong City, leading all the way to the city. On the avenue, groups of mortals are pushing carts or riding donkeys into the city.
Outside the city, some people gradually appeared.
There were six of them, all dressed in black and carrying a huge knife box on their backs.
It's just that their expressions weren't right at the moment. Their original ambition to establish their own sect in the future came to a sudden halt after they arrived in this city.
It's not that the city is huge, nor that there are many mortals, but these people.
A slender man in black pointed at something next to the mortal entering the city and asked in surprise, "Brother, is that a spirit?"
Around these mortals, there were as few as one and as many as three or four, accompanied by a group of upright shrimp and crab monsters, carrying large and small bags in their claws, as if to help lighten the burden of the mortals.
The tall man in black was also a little confused. He looked at it for a long while before he said uncertainly, "Really?"
The slender black man swallowed, moved his fingers again, and said, "Are these mortals?"
The tall man in black pursed his lips and said, "I think so."
Not only mortals, but also scum, are everywhere in the world, so it's not surprising.
They don’t know what kind of monsters they are, and have never seen shrimps or crabs become monsters, but they must be in the water.
But when goblins are paired with mortals, and the goblins are used like servants and pets, they will not recognize them.
This combination looks weird no matter how you look at it, as if the tiger has become a pet and the rabbit has become the owner.
What's going on in this place
“Ask!”
The tall man in black said something, and then shouted to a mortal in front of him: "That mortal, stop!"
The mortal in front was dressed like a farmer, and was accompanied by two shrimp soldiers and a crab general. The two shrimp soldiers were carrying fruits and vegetables, and the crab general was carrying a large bag. As the mortal turned around, the shrimp soldiers and the crab general also turned their bodies, causing some rice to fall from the large bag.
"Looking for me?" The mortal was stunned. "I don't know you guys?"
"Nonsense, why would I look for you if I know you?"
The tall man in black walked over, made a hand seal, and a slender blade the size of a palm flew out from the knife box behind him.
"Hey!"
He shouted first, then glanced at the two shrimp soldiers, and his voice suddenly became three points weaker.
"you"
He glanced at the crab general again, and his voice became weaker, turning into a whisper.
"Is your deity here? I'm here to visit."
Several people at the back looked puzzled. One of them raised his brows and looked impatient. He took two steps forward and was about to speak. However, as soon as he got close, his face froze. He didn't dare to say anything and just watched.
There is no other reason, just because this monster is a bit scary.
The two shrimp soldiers were easy to deal with, but the crab general seemed more and more extraordinary the closer he got to him. His crab shell was shining brightly, like a piece of armor, and his blood was surging.
This thing is better than them!
How can a mortal associate with such a monster
The mortal looked at the slender blade in the hand of the tall man in black and was stunned. "God? We don't have any gods here. If we want to find gods, we have to go to Qiandu. There are some there."
"There are no gods in this city?"
The tall man in black was stunned and glanced at the city. The city was tall and crowded with people. It was obviously a city where mortals gathered.
Such a big city, no matter where it is, should be a place that these cultivators must fight for. If it were somewhere else, he would ask if there is a mountain gate nearby, but the Soundless Gate itself is for practicing in the city.
"Yes, there are no gods. Are you a god? Which sect are you from?" The mortal looked them up and down and asked.
Yo huh?!
These words made him even more stunned. He took a close look at this mortal. He had no energy in his body, no sense of Dharma, and he was not strong. His body was also incomplete. He was definitely a remnant.
Would the Soundless Sect tell mortals about their sects
"What's wrong with you, a mortal, that you dare to ask us, you..."
Several fellow apprentices behind him came over with angry looks, but as soon as they got to the front of the mortal, their tone of voice changed.
"You asked a good question. We are from the Blood Blade Hall."
They are not stupid and can see that the monster is extraordinary.
And such monsters are everywhere on the streets.
"Blood Knife Hall?"
The mortal shook his head. "I have never heard of it. If you want to find a god, don't look for me. Now, go north into the city. The largest building is our governor's mansion. Go find the governor. He should know."
"Okay, let me ask you, where did you get this thing?"
The tall man in black couldn't hold back his doubts and pointed at the monsters and asked.
"You're from out of town, right? Just arrived in my Daqian? This is my home roll. The blue shrimp is called Xiaoqing, the red shrimp is called Xiaohong, and the black crab is called Dawu. I bought them all!"
The mortal's eyes lit up, as if the conversation had touched upon his heart, and he immediately became energetic, although he had been somewhat uninterested.
"These three are incredible. You gods should be able to see that. They are extremely powerful and invulnerable to swords and spears. Although they are not good at work, they are very good at helping out. We are close to the sea, and we rely on them for seafood. I spent dozens of taels on them."
"Especially this big black crow, it's much more expensive than the small red and small green crows, but it's also our storefront. I worked for half a year for nothing to buy it. Look at its appearance, look at its pliers, how majestic it is. I heard that monsters live longer than us. You are a god, can you tell that? I can pass it on to my son."
The mortal was so excited that he talked for a long time, which made people feel dizzy. He didn't stop until he licked his lips and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, I'm going to the city to sell vegetables. You guys can go and have a look."
Seeing that mortal moving forward, several people looked at each other, some even confused.
Were these untouchable monsters all over the streets bought
When did the Youshengwusheng Sect become so arrogant
Where did you get these monsters? How can you sell them to mortals
and
"Isn't this Nanping Country, Senior Brother?" asked a man in black.
"How would I know?" The tall man in black glanced at him and took a deep breath. "Anyway, this place is very strange. Everyone, be careful."
He should have been happy that there were no gods in the city, because it meant that this was an unowned land and they could directly occupy it and establish their own sect.
But these monsters that appeared out of nowhere were enough to make people's scalps numb, and when the mortal heard their identities, he didn't feel awe, but instead acted as if he had met some fellow villagers.
It's too weird.
If they hadn't come here through so much hardship across the sea, they would all want to leave now.
This sea is difficult to cross. There are too many monsters in the sea. They are lucky to be able to cross it. It may not be so smooth to go back.
Besides, isn't it just to be that child that one crossed the sea
Regardless, they had to investigate.
The tall man in black straightened his clothes, walked forward, and soon arrived at the city gate. As soon as he entered the city gate, he suddenly felt a little hot, so hot that he couldn't help but scream.
He looked up at the sky. The sun was not strong and it was not hot at this time of year, but why did he feel a burning sensation
Before he could investigate further, a voice rang out.
"What do you do? You need to register."
Just inside the city gate, a man dressed as a clerk was sitting there, questioning these people.
