Chapter 487: Bitter Well City
Early morning....しw0.【Phoenix\/Phoenix\/Please search for updates quickly】
Li Ba led his team through the Gobi Desert. He rushed all night, and the weather was cold and the ground was frozen. Everyone had a layer of frost on their bodies. As they shook, the ice chips fell down.
At dawn, the rising sun rises. The sun shines on the earth, dispelling the cold night, and the temperature gradually rises. In the air, the large flowered owls hover and fly low, and from time to time they give off a crisp name. Li Ba takes out the map, locks the direction, and calls his companions to gallop along the northeast.
Gansu Province is located on the Loess Plateau and is a multi-ethnic area. After passing through the Gobi desert and moving along the northeast direction, there is a small settlement city about 100 kilometers.
Gansu Province lacks water. Most of the survivors' settlements are located next to the water source. This is similar to the fact that the herdsmen in the northwest live by pursuing water and grass. This small settlement, called Kujing City, covers an area of only five or six miles, has a population of less than three thousand, and has a mixed population, which is quite exotic.
When Li Ba led the team to the sky, it was already around nine o'clock in the morning.
Tigers and leopards flew away, and horses ran wildly. Although their team was not large in number, the formation was quite large. They galloped along the road, causing rolling dust and smoke, like thousands of horses galloping, with a huge momentum.
This is related to the loess land under their feet. There is little rain and water shortage in Gansu Province, and the ground is cracked. Not to mention a cavalry team, even if someone runs by, dust will be raised.
When three or four miles away from Kujing City, Li Ba controlled the White Tiger King to slow down. The companions behind him immediately stopped rushing forward.
He looked away. Although he had expected it in his heart, Li Ba still did not expect that the Kujing City was so small in scale. It was said to be a residential city with no walls around it. The earthen houses in groups of three or three were built along a turbid small lake. It looked less than a small town under the Huameng.
"Boss, this Kujing City is too shabby!"
Yang Jianmian was disappointed. He originally planned to come to this residential city, find a luxury hotel to eat and drink, and then ask a few beauties to massage it to loosen the muscles and relieve fatigue. Now it seems that this place where birds do not shit, it is good to have a mouthful of hot water to drink.
"Since we're here, let's go and have a look!"
Li Ba thought about it and said that he came to the northern settlement city for the first time. No matter how big or small, he still wanted to see the local customs and understand the price trends.
Under his greeting, the team set off and galloped away in a mighty manner.
Although Kujing City is small, it is still a city of settlement, and there are still guards. When Li Ba and his team were ten miles away, they were discovered by Kujing City survivors due to their great momentum.
At this moment, when they approached Kujing City less than half a mile, a team of people appeared in front of them.
This is a cavalry with a population of 500. Most of them rode mutant horses, and a few others rode mutant camels. The camels were originally larger than horses, and after the mutation, they seemed even larger. There were six or seven people carrying bows and arrows on the back of a mutant camel, holding bows and arrows, and were about to set off.
Ma Youzhai was on the back of one of the camels. He was the leader of Kujing City and a sixth-level evolutionist. He belonged to him and looked no different from the Han people, except that his customs and beliefs were different.
After receiving the report, a team of unknown origin approached Kujing City. For safety reasons, Ma Youzhai immediately summoned all his men and formed a formation.
When friends come, there is good wine, and when jackals come, there is stick!
This is a proverb circulating in the northwest.
Gansu Province is located in the north of China, with many ethnic groups living together. The people are strong. Ma Youzhai is not afraid of the enemy. He believes that he and his subordinates have the strength. As long as it is not a large-scale attack by sand thieves, ordinary bandits will not take it seriously at all.
However, when he saw the horse galloping towards him, his eyes shrank and his face couldn't help but show fear. The number of people on the other side was not large, only more than 100 people, so there was no fear in this regard. The key was that their mounts and the leading people were all riding mutant tigers and leopards, which looked extremely ferocious.
Ma Youzhai was able to become the leader of Kujing City and had extraordinary vision and experience. He had been to a large-scale settlement city. From the evolution masters there, he learned that after the tiger and leopard beasts mutated, they were extremely powerful. The most ordinary mutant tigers had an evolutionary strength of level 6 or above.
However, the team approaching ahead has two mutated white tigers, which are huge and powerful. They are obviously not ordinary mutated tigers, but maybe... they may be king-level mutant beasts.
The foundation and strength of these people can be imagined if they can control king-level mutant beasts. If they want to be unfavorable to Kujing City, they will not be able to stop them with their limited personnel.
"Don't do anything, let's see the situation clearly!"
Ma Youzhai's thoughts changed rapidly and told his subordinates not to act rashly, to figure out the purpose of these people first, and then make plans.
When Ma Youzhai was uneasy, Li Ba led the team to come. He had a sharp look and of course he saw that the big formation on his side brought a lot of pressure to the survivors of Kujing City.
He patted the White Tiger King's back. Afterwards, the entire team stopped thirty meters away. At this time, Li Ba smiled and shouted at the survivor of Kujing City opposite: "We are survivors from Hui Province. We are here and plan to go to the city to rest and sell some goods by the way."
After he said this, Ma Youzhai immediately felt relieved. As long as he was not here to make trouble.
“Welcome, welcome.”
He immediately walked out of the camp with a mutant camel, smiling, first introducing himself, and then said something polite.
"Hello, leader of horse."
Li Ba nodded and greeted him. In his eyes, the man wearing a reflex hat looked honest and not like a cunning person. Therefore, he spoke very politely.
After a few greetings, Ma Youzhai has basically confirmed that these people have no malice. As they said, they just passed by Kujing City and wanted to go to the city to rest. At the same time, they also planned to sell some goods.
Ma Youzhai expressed his strong welcome to this. Kujing City has thin supplies and lacks daily necessities. Due to its small population and remote location, few people in the nearby large settlement cities are willing to come to do business. Nowadays, these people want to go to the city to sell goods, so he certainly cannot afford it.
After Ma Youzhai greeted him, his men immediately dispersed and divided into two teams to welcome him. Li Ba nodded with a smile, and then he slowly walked over to control the White Tiger King. Yang Jian and others came around behind him.
When Li Ba and others arrived, Ma Youzhai observed the White Tiger King under him from a close distance, and was even more shocked. Such a large mutated White Tiger, the violent aura emitted from the body, almost made him, the Level 6 evolver, feel breathless. His strength is self-evident and extremely powerful.
There was more than one mutated white tiger. In addition to the bald young man who seemed to be the leader of the other party, there was also a mutated white tiger. There was a big monkey sitting on the tiger's back, wearing colorful clothes. When passing by, he kept making faces at himself.
In addition, behind the bald young man, there were several other people riding mutant tigers and leopards. One of the women rode a big cat under him, which looked like a tiger but not a tiger, a leopard but not a leopard, and was extraordinary. You can tell at a glance that it was definitely a powerful mutant beast that was not inferior to the mutant white tiger.
In the air above their heads, two big birds flew low and circled low. One red and the other yellow, and the size was huge, and they were definitely fierce mutant birds.
What is the origin of these people?
Ma Youzhai exclaimed in his heart. However, at this moment, a low roar rang out. Suddenly, he realized that his mount was mutated camel, and his whole body was trembling, and he turned around and carried him away.
The roar came from the White Tiger King under the hairy monkey. Perhaps it was because he was not used to being welcomed by the stalker, or it was the domineering aura from the King of Beasts. The White Tiger King saw the unfamiliar mutant horses and camels around him, and without any signs, he roared and showed his tiger's power.
When it roared, the White Tiger King riding by its companion Li Ba, and the tiger and leopard mounts of others, all echoed each other. Suddenly, the tiger roared and the leopard roared throughout the world.
The mutated horses and mutated camels controlled by Ma Youzhai and others felt the violent air compressor from the Beast King, and fled everywhere in shock. Suddenly, the scene was in chaos.
In the end, the cat woman took action, and the roar of the tiger and leopard stopped. At this time, less than a few dozen people left Ma Youzhai's five hundred men.
Seeing this, Li Ba wanted to laugh in his heart, but he still expressed his apology.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Seeing the power of these big cats, Ma Youzhai dared not blame him at all. Afterwards, he led Li Ba and others into the city in panic.
Kujing City is similar to a market, with no city walls around it. All the houses are built around a turbid small lake. This small lake is not large in area, and it is said that it is formed by the guqin guqin. The water quality is not polluted, but the taste is not good, and it is astringent and bitter. Before the end of the world, this small lake was called Kujing by the locals. After the end of the world, survivors gathered together to form a small settlement. In the name of Kujing, it became the current Kujing City.
The arrival of Li Ba and others made the residents in the city full of curiosity. Every household opened the door and watched from afar. Seeing their fierce mounts, no matter they were adults and children, all their expressions of awe appeared on their faces.
According to Li Ba's intention, Ma Youzhai led them to the center of the city, a large mansion surrounded by walls. This was originally a place where he trained his men, but now it has been vacated to receive these tourists from afar.
Li Ba did not plan to stay in Kujing City for too long, and was preparing to set off immediately after noon. Therefore, after entering the yard, he sent Yang Jian, Wu Qing and others to the market to inquire about the price situation.
Afterwards, he took out a batch of supplies from the bracelet space. The supplies included mutated grain and fruits, fish jerky, and processed dried fruit juice. The quantity was ten tons.
For the massive amount of supplies stored in the bracelet space, this is just a drop in the bucket. But for the survivors of Kujing City, this batch of supplies is enough for them to need a year.
Of course, Li Ba will not give it to you for nothing. If you want supplies, you must take out valuable items to exchange them. Among them, the jade crystal core is what he needs most at the moment.
Just wait for Yang Jian and the others to inquire about the price here. Li Ba will immediately sell the supplies. Although Kujing City is small, he believes that he can definitely exchange what he wants.
p: I've been lazy during the Chinese New Year. I'm sorry, and I'll start to resume normal updates tomorrow.
