Chapter 209: Pingsha Castle
Spiritual energy is very thin!
But compared to the first-level world without any aura, this is the biggest good news.
Su Xiu believes that as long as there is spiritual energy in this world, you can definitely find places with strong spiritual energy.
By then, even if the first level of superpowers can no longer be used, he can still practice with the help of external spiritual energy.
The carriage creaked all the way forward, heading towards its destination, Pingsha Castle...
Pingsha Fort is one of the many beacons on the periphery of the Great Wall. It is about thirty miles away from the Great Wall, and the nearest fort is more than ten miles away.
Each beacon watches each other. Once any beacon sends out a warning, the surrounding beacons can definitely be seen.
Then they issued a warning in time so that they could transmit the military information back to the Great Wall as quickly as possible.
Their existence is to provide early warning, detect the invasion of foreign barbarians as soon as possible, and provide sufficient reaction time for the Great Wall Guards.
Pingsha Fort, like other beacons, is guarded by only six soldiers.
After taking a look at the various grains pressed beneath him, Su Xiu had a hunch that this flat sand castle was probably not a good place.
"Xiao Su, what are you looking at?" A hoarse voice interrupted Su Xiu who was looking around.
Su Xiu turned around and saw the strong man sitting opposite him, looking at him with his eyes open.
In my memory, this strong man was the captain of their team, his name was Zu Dashi, and he was the eldest veteran in the team.
"Captain, aren't you just curious? It's my first time to change defenses in such a far place!" Su Xiu immediately replied.
Zu Dashi smiled. This Pingsha Castle was considered the beacon on the outermost edge of the Great Wall. This was his first time coming here to change defenses. In the past, he had always been near the Great Wall.
"Captain, will we encounter a barbarian attack?" The man driving the carriage in front, named Ma Fei, turned around and asked curiously.
He is about the same age as Su Xiu, and is considered the youngest of the two in the team, but both of them have been veterans for many years and are very powerful!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to become a Great Wall Guard.
Becoming a Great Wall Guard is an honor for all soldiers, because it means that their strength is recognized.
Only the strongest soldiers are qualified to guard the Great Wall!
"Don't worry, according to past experience, it's not yet time for the barbarians to go south, and there will generally be no barbarian attacks!" Zu Dashi comforted him and closed his eyes again.
Su Xiu also nodded and said nothing.
Alien barbarians, when he first entered the Demon Eye instance, he was attacked by alien barbarians.
The powerful physique and strong individual fighting power of those barbarians made him remember them deeply.
As the carriage moved forward, Su Xiu was also sorting out the information in his mind, which gave him a deeper understanding of the world.
Finally, at noon, the carriage arrived at its destination.
In front of you is a dilapidated fortress, surrounded by yellow sand. Not a single tree can be seen, only sparse patches of grass dotted in the yellow sand.
"Who is this!" A loud shout came from the top of Pingsha Castle!
"It's me, Zu Dashi, let's come over and switch defenses!" Zu Dashi also echoed loudly.
Soon, someone came out of Pingsha Castle.
There were six people in total, each one wearing a worn-out black armor and a black-faced man.
"You guys are here, this damn place is really uncomfortable!"
An older man, who must be their captain, came forward, took the official document handed over by Zu Dashi, looked at it, and returned it.
"Okay, I'll leave this place to you, it's time for us to leave!" After saying that, the six people got in quickly.
Soon, a carriage pulled out.
With the same tools and equipment as them, the six of them left in the carriage without looking back.
"Okay, stop looking, go in and tidy up!" Zu Dashi said, interrupting several people who were in a daze.
Su Xiu's eyes fell on this beacon.
This beacon is made entirely of stone and earth. It is about seven or eight meters high, less than 200 square meters in size, and has only one entrance and exit.
There was a slope of nearly 45 degrees at the entrance. Zu Dashi walked in first, leaving Su Xiu and the other two pushing the cart behind.
After passing through this entrance, Su Xiu discovered that the earth and stone wall was actually three meters thick.
No wonder there are only six soldiers guarding such a peripheral beacon. With such a high and thick wall, as long as an early warning is issued at the first time, it can completely delay the arrival of the rescue team!
As soon as Su Xiu walked into this flat sand castle, he was immediately hit by the stench and took a step back.
The smell of animal feces, urine, and foot smell mixed together, it was absolutely amazing.
Others seemed to be used to it and didn't react at all. After tying the horses, they started to clean up.
The interior of Pingsha Castle is not big. There is a stone staircase in the innermost part. You can climb the city wall and enter the watchtower. This tower has the function of setting off beacon fires and fumes.
The space inside the fort only leaves a passage in the middle, which leads directly to the stone stairs.
The rest were cut into small rooms, where fodder was piled, where people cooked, and where people and animals lived. With six people, it can be said to be very crowded.
The wooden door is half a foot thick, and there is a huge stone as tall as a man standing next to it.
There are still traces of the movement of boulders on the ground, which should have been used to block the door.
Su Xiu and Ma Fei were divided into a room. The two quickly cleaned up the messy room and put on the bedding they brought.
"Xiao Su, Xiao Ma, you go get some water and come back today. These idiots didn't even leave any water for us!" Zu Dashi's voice came from outside.
Su Xiu and Ma Fei walked out, only to find that there was a well under the stone stairs.
"Don't look at it, you can't drink that water, it's too dirty!" Zu Dashi waved his hand.
Su Xiu smelled the smell in the air and understood it immediately.
In such a small space, humans and animals are all here, and the water in this well is a ghost if you can drink it.
The two immediately untied the carriage, put the buckets behind the carriage, and drove the carriage out of Pingsha Castle.
When they came, they all learned about Pingsha Castle.
Starting from here, walk not far to the north and there will be a small river.
In addition to fetching water, you can also take a shower when needed.
"Xiao Su, have you ever been to Mobei?" Ma Fei, who was driving the car in front, asked.
"No, this is my first time to this place. Mobei should be the home of the barbarians!" Su Xiu shook his head and said.
"I really want to defeat these barbarians and leave a name in history, but it's a pity that I don't have such great strength!" Ma Fei sighed.
Su Xiu smiled and said, "There will be a chance!"
"This place is so mean, we actually have to stay here for a month!" Ma Fei started to complain again, unable to stop talking.
Su Xiu said nothing and looked into the distance.
That is the north where the alien barbarians live. I wonder if I will encounter barbarians in this flat sand castle.
Half an hour later, the two drove the carriage to the river.
It is indeed a small river, with a water surface only over three meters wide, and a few small animals drinking water.
Su Xiu jumped off the carriage, picked up the bucket and started filling it with water.
"I'll go down and take a shower first!" Ma Fei said and started to take off his clothes.
Su Xiu wanted to say something, but the words came to his lips but did not come out.
Soon, every bucket was filled with water.
"Hurry up, I've already filled it with water!" Su Xiu shouted to Ma Fei, who was still rolling in the water.
"Right away!" Ma Fei responded!
Xilulu...
A sound of horse neighing came from the other side, and several frightened birds soared into the sky...
Su Xiu was startled. He immediately pulled out the sword from his waist and stared at the other side of the river, where there was a small forest.
The horse neighing just now came from that forest.
Soon, someone came out of the forest on horseback.
This is a strong man with bulging muscles and the armor only covers important parts of his body.
Under his crotch is a war horse with knotted muscles, a majestic and somewhat exaggerated body, and limbs like iron pillars.
The person who came was a barbarian from a foreign race, just like the one Su Xiu saw in the Demon Eye copy.
Fortunately, there is only one, and he should be their scout!
Unexpectedly, on the first day here, I encountered foreign barbarians. Didn't it mean that now is not the season for them to go south?
Su Xiu was a little helpless to complain...
"There are barbarians!" Ma Fei exclaimed, rolling and crawling towards the shore!
Su Xiu glanced over directly with his observer's eyes. It was still the same as before, there was no data or anything dropped.
However, the previous invincibility is gone.
Obviously, with the improvement of his strength, this alien barbarian is no longer so scary!
