Chapter 143: Stranger

The giant turtle moved forward steadily step by step.

In the small building, Si Wenming held Manman's ears and taught her the principles of being cautious and modest when going out. Manman, on the other hand, groaned and hugged her damaged storage bag, complaining that Zhu Rongtong gave her a piece of junk.

Ji Hao walked out of the small building and strolled comfortably in the magical turtle-backed city of Turtle Spirit Caravan.

A city six miles long and wide cannot be considered small in scale. Moreover, this city is not just one floor, but has three floors, upper, middle and lower. Ji Hao and the others are in the topmost city area, which is also the only area open to outsiders.

The roads in the city are all made of metal, and the widest avenue is only more than a foot wide. There are neatly arranged small buildings and courtyards beside the roads, dotted with tall arrow towers and sentry towers, and from time to time there are well-dressed guards. Walking through the street.

Although he couldn't go to the two levels below to see the city, Ji Hao's spiritual thoughts seeped in without any hindrance.

The urban area on the middle level is the residence of Guiling Caravan’s own family. Compared with the small buildings and courtyards in the upper urban area, the urban area on the middle level is like a honeycomb, with small rooms closely connected to each other. They are separated by thick metal walls, and the corridors in the city are winding and intricate like a maze. There is no doubt that this structure has extremely strong defensive power.

If a foreign enemy invades, this urban structure is enough to cause great obstruction to the enemy.

The bottom floor is a warehouse. The warehouse is made of metal and is close to the shell of the giant tortoise. The area is several times larger than the city area above. In the spacious warehouse, a huge amount of various metal blocks that have been initially refined are neatly stacked, and they are all metal blocks that have been tempered by witchcraft and have an astonishing density.

In addition to these metal minerals rich in fire element, which are specialties of Southern Wilderness, the warehouse also stocks mountains of jade nuggets, gold nuggets, and countless associated rare crystals. Similar to rare treasures such as Earth Vein Essence, Ji Hao discovered that there were a thousand jars, and each large jar could allow Ji Hao to take a bath comfortably in it.

The more goods in the warehouse are the corpses of ferocious beasts frozen with ice crystals. Judging from the aura, more than 50% of these ferocious beasts were at the level of small witches, and more than 40% were at the level of great witches when they were alive. However, the very few corpses of the best-preserved ferocious beasts had an aura comparable to that Ji Hao had ever seen. Yes, the lava giant who leads the Zhurong Army.

Ji Hao's spiritual thoughts scanned these warehouses carefully, and he couldn't help but be dazzled by the abundant supplies in the warehouses.

Not to mention anything else, if Ji Hao swallows all the corpses of these ferocious beasts, he is confident that his physical strength will be able to reach the level of the Witch King, and his cultivation of the Heaven-Mending Technique should also be able to break through to the second level. It's right to be serious.

It's a pity that these are the goods of other people's caravans, and Ji Hao has not yet committed that kind of theft.

Touching the stolen kit at his waist, Ji Hao found helplessly that it seemed that his entire wealth was not enough to buy the corpse of a Witch King-level ferocious beast. So he sighed and gave up the idea.

In the uppermost city area, apart from Ji Hao and his party, there seemed to be some other individual travelers taking the Starry Sky Turtle to the Central Continent.

Ji Hao secretly looked at the people dressed in different costumes he met on the road. There were probably less than a hundred of them. They should be young elites from the Southern Wilderness tribe who were traveling. There were also hundreds of strange people. Ji Hao was confused for a moment. I can't tell what their origins are.

Wandering all the way, Ji Hao came to the city wall near the giant skull. Just in time, Gui Laosan jumped down from the sentry tower and jumped in front of several men waiting in the forest with a smile on his face.

Crosshand saluted the five men, and Gui Laosan said with a smile: "Five distinguished guests, do you want to go back to the central mainland? Our Guiling Caravan has been an old caravan for thousands of years, and the price is fair. A child and an old man cannot be deceived. One hundred jade coins per person will never be discussed!"

Ji Hao looked at the five men curiously.

Different from Ji Hao and the other three people, and different from the individual tourists who also hitchhiked in the city, these five people were wearing black robes of the same color. Their scalps were also cleanly shaved, revealing light cyan scalps, and black tattoos on their heads. With dozens of twisted runes the size of a thumb, it was clear that they were from a well-organized force.

Especially the man who led the group, with a fist-sized black monkey sitting upright on his shoulder. The monkey's petite and exquisite tail was raised, and its long tail was much longer than his own body. It looked really cute.

The dark little monkey was obviously some kind of alien species. There were three green eyes on his face. When he found that Ji Hao was looking at him, the seemingly docile and cute little monkey suddenly bared his teeth and screamed at Ji Hao. He stood up, waving his arms fiercely, and sharp claws popped out from his fingers to tear the air, making a "chichi" scream that broke through the air.

Gui Laosan frowned, looked back at Ji Hao, and shouted to the five men very unhappily: "Five distinguished guests, our Turtle Spirit Caravan has rules. All war beasts, demon pets, and contracted beasts must If you dare to hurt someone, don’t blame us for chasing them away!"

He stared at the monkey and shouted: "Restrain these ferocious creatures around you. If they get to the void, where there is no ground around them, break the rules and are driven out by us, even if they die, we will not be blamed."

The man with the monkey standing on his shoulder smiled coldly, casually took out five jade pieces and threw them to Gui Laosan. He said in an extremely cold tone: "Such a small monkey is just timid, so his posture is scary. How can he hurt me?" What about people? Of course we won’t break the rules.”

Gui Laosan frowned. Based on his many years of experience in the Southern Wilderness, he always felt that there was something wrong with the people in front of him.

But taking a closer look, it seems like there's nothing wrong with them. After a while of silence, he stuffed the five jade pieces into his sleeves, raised his head and said hello to the giant turtle: "Ancestor Turtle, please take care of me more. I've tired you out a lot along the way."

The giant turtle slowly lowered his head, took a deep look at the five men, and said angrily: "Don't worry, little turtle boys, nothing will happen. Huh, what do you want me to do? There are ten wizard kings among the guards. The captain is not enough for you to command?"

Gui Laosan smiled, turned over and jumped back to the sentry tower.

Ji Hao looked at the five men with a smile and shook his head. What Gui Laosan and Lao Gui said was very clever. They pointed out the tyrannical strength of the caravan intentionally or unintentionally, and they were warning these five men not to cause any trouble in the caravan.

Even Ji Hao, the third company of Gui Lao San Company, gave a warning - there are ten Witch King-level guard captains in the caravan. If you don't want to cause trouble, be good... especially the violent little girl next to you, be good!

The five men did not move, but like shadows, they slowly flew up the city wall.

They passed by Ji Hao, their cold and inhuman eyes swept over Ji Hao, and then they floated into the city like ghosts.

The little monkey stared at Ji Hao with his teeth bared and his eyes unblinking.
