After a day or two of advancement, the caravan arrived at the town of Anmore, where it dropped off a batch of transit supplies destined for the colony in the Baissen Mountains via water, received a batch of indigenous specialties, and then set off again.
Between Harrison Port and Trois-Rivières is the 'Great Rift Valley Area'. This was once a high mountain, but due to the geological changes caused by the Skyfall disaster, the entire mountain cracked and collapsed, sliding into the sea. The collapse created fissures and cavities.
and sedimentary layers are today’s Great Rift Valley and Fantasy Labyrinth Reef Group.
Some cracks have been washed away by rivers all year round, turning them into cascading waterfalls in the underground layer. There are unique water cliff species in Nanling, and many flying water monsters live in them.
It is even said that these rift valleys lead directly to the sea.
But all this has nothing to do with the White Chamber Caravan. They just crossed the shortest point on both sides of the rift valley along a stone arch bridge, and then walked towards the area where the Fantasy Labyrinth Reef Group is located.
"There are a lot of magical beasts around here. It is an area hit hardest by magical beasts. Even the natives rarely come close."
Entering this area, the caravan became alert. Even Brin began to wipe his long knife in preparation for a possible battle at any time: "Did you see that over there? A small caravan wants to try its luck, probably
We were attacked by a group led by a magical beast, the leopard."
Where Brin was pointing, there was the remains of a trailer that had been covered with growing moss, and obvious fine claw marks could be seen on it, which was quite scary against the background of the tropical jungle.
Some chewed skeletal remains were scattered nearby, which was just the latest thing.
The forest will soon swallow it all.
"Judging from the corpse fragments, there are only five or six people." Ian raised his eyebrows. He stared at the remains of the corpses and said with some surprise: "With such a small number of people, how dare they go to the Nanling Trade Road? Ten times more."
"The profits are really high."
Brin was a little sad: "Things like inscription artifacts, alchemy lamps, and metal tools from the Great Plains area can be sold for two or three times the price when shipped to us."
"And the herbs and rare catches we have here, as well as the special magical beast materials that you know Ian, are transported to the Great Plains area around the imperial capital. If you sell them casually, you can make more than four times the profit!"
With a profit of 300%, a businessman would dare to trample all laws in the world, let alone a huge profit of more than ten times over time?
There are many people who have had the last string in their heads burned by Thaler. They have ignored the extremely high costs and extremely high risks under extremely high profits, not to mention the need to open up official relationships, reliable local partners, and ensure safety.
of force and everything else that needs to be prepared.
"A lot of people die in small caravans like this, and most of them don't have the money to risk their lives. But if it succeeds, it will really have the capital to do some serious business, and it will be a foundation."
Back then, Brin also imagined making a fortune and doing big things, but later he realized that this was just a big dream. The monsters in Nanling were so hungry that they didn't mind eating a few more big meals at all.
The Baishi caravan also has more than a hundred people, and there are not a few guards, and they can carry alchemy guns for self-defense. The most ordinary monsters can only get close to see if they can drag away a few unlucky ones, and they will never dare to make a big move.
Large-scale attack.
Not to mention that Ian, an ascendant, is in charge, so the Chamber of Commerce brought a lot of extra goods this time, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to make more money.
The sun gradually sets and night falls.
However, the caravan was extra vigilant and arranged the cars and camel beasts in a circle to form a simple fortress. Guards like Brin were patrolling the surrounding area to monitor the traces of the surrounding monsters.
What kind of robbers can be as scary as Warcraft? A crazy hard-shelled bear can collapse a small house. Their car barriers can only be said to be better than nothing. If they really fight, they have to be repeled and scared away through various methods.
.
Everyone was very nervous, but Ian had a calm face. He kept holding a pen and paper to record and write something.
No one cares about him, after all it is obvious who is the boss of the caravan.
Until a sharp whistle sounded.
This was a sound indicating that a monster was approaching. At the same time, there was a sharp howl of a monster in the distance.
Everyone in the caravan's expressions darkened, or they took a breath of cold air. Brin quickly took out his light crossbow and loaded the arrows. Although he had experienced several similar attacks by monsters, each time was a different kind of nervousness.
and danger.
"It's the reef-eating sea otter!"
A scout's voice sounded not far away, with surprise: "How could it be possible? Although this is indeed around the Labyrinth Reef Group, how could they attack us so far from the shore?"
After hearing these words, Ian raised his head. He first looked in the direction of the Warcraft, and then in the direction of the caravan's truck. There was indeed a lot of blue mist there.
The caravan carried a batch of Warcraft materials. Warcraft materials originating from the indigenous people.
Different from the preferential treatment given by the Tenglan Tribe, the price Harrison Port accepted for the surrender of the natives of the Shantide Tribe was to let them kill all the Swamp Crocodile Dragons they raised with Warcraft potential and Warcraft level.
Compared with the giant eel lineage that cannot be eradicated, which has long since become a sea of trees in the entire redwood forest area, the swamp crocodile dragon is the totem spirit lineage that is easiest to eradicate. This is indeed an excessive demand, but in the face of carrying
Pressed down by Viscount Grant with absolute strength, the natives finally succumbed.
A batch of the killed Swamp Crocodile Dragon materials were sent out by the White Chamber Caravan.
As for why it is the White Chamber of Commerce...of course it is to give part of the profits to the White people, and by the way, let Ian, the sublime, escort them.
As expected, there are now monsters who are interested in these earth monster materials, and Ian will definitely take action.
"The Viscount is really good at calling people... It would be great if he just said it."
"Besides, there is something weird about this group of reef-eating sea otters."
Shaking his head slightly, Ian stood up, put on his helmet, and walked in the direction of the Warcraft.
At this time, almost everyone in the caravan was preparing weapons, stringing their bows, and getting ready for battle.
Although the Reef-Eating Sea Otters are invulnerable and their fur is almost metal, armor-piercing arrows can still drain their blood. Not to mention that the bodies of Reef-Eating Sea Otters that have not reached the Warcraft level are not that hard at all, and heavy arrows are enough to penetrate their tough skin.
The sea otter colony was approaching, and with the sound of snapping bushes, huge silver-white sea otters ignored the constant scoldings and threats of fire from the scouts, and approached the caravan's main formation as if there was no one around.
The sea otters collided with each other, making a metallic clang.
They come here as materials for other Warcraft. This is a rare opportunity to obtain a large amount of source material and promote the growth of the group. If humans will ignore risks for the sake of profit, the same goes for Warcraft.
Staring at the car barrier, the sea otters' eyes were greedy, their needle-like hairs stood up, and they were obviously in a fighting state.
The caravan guards were also extremely nervous. They all held bows and crossbows, prepared kerosene and spears, and were ready to rely on the car barriers to beat the group of giant otters who were already going a little crazy.
But they didn't wait for the opportunity to take action.
Because Ian walked in front of this group of sea otters.
He didn't even draw his sword, he just stood in front of the leading monster sea otter, letting the other party see clearly, or in other words, sense his essence aura clearly.
Then, the monster-level giant otter knelt down in fear.
Blah blah blah.
It quickly crawled in front of Ian, with such force that it even crushed some rocks beneath it. The whole body was trembling like a human body falling to the ground, and even the ordinary reef-eating sea otter behind it also fell down.
.
There was a little sea otter standing blankly. It didn't quite understand why everyone was lying down, but soon a female sea otter slapped the little boy who couldn't sense the strength to the ground.
She does look like her real mother.
"Let's go, let's not bother me."
And Ian sighed: "I don't know who brought you here, but you are quite good at choosing."
"If I really want to kill you all, the caravan will definitely be a mess."
Sensing that Ian was in trouble and wanted to let them go, the leader, Sea Otter, stood up immediately as if he had been granted amnesty, and let out a long roar to guide the group's actions.
The group then began to retreat in panic.
Ever since Ian killed a reef-eating sea otter leader many years ago and advanced himself to the first level, he has come to the Maze Reef Group from time to time to hunt monsters and obtain enough supplies.
Just got to know him.
In a sense, this is also a kind of beast king.
After meeting Shark, he even brought him here for extra meals twice. One time, he took Shark to eat a few reef-eating sea otters.
The armored sharks are the natural enemies of marine metal-based monsters such as the reef-eating sea otter, and they are also one of the few large monsters that can threaten them.
Coincidentally, those reef-eating sea otters were probably the ones that were reproduced after he killed the leader. With the wisdom and memory of Warcraft, which is much higher than that of beasts, these sea otters recognized Ian, this terrible "natural enemy"
The Breeder's and 'Friends of the Steel Sharks'.
Ian told the group of sea otters to retreat, and they retreated obediently.
"...It is convenient to have sublimated people."
After the sea otters quickly left along the way they came, Brin stepped forward.
He shook his head with lingering fear and said: "If it was just our caravan that killed all these sea otters, we would not be able to make up for the pensions for the lost men... The attack by the monsters is still too terrifying."
He didn't ask why Ian didn't kill them all after he had obviously completely suppressed the group of reef-eating sea otters. There were at least two Warcraft-level sea otters in them, and they could earn two to three hundred talers at least. If the furs were intact, they could earn
More.
Because Brin also sensed that after the reef-eating sea otter retreated, many other eyes that were vaguely watching the camp also retreated in fear.
Although only a group of monsters like sea otters came out just now, if the fight really gets fierce, the monsters in the surrounding jungle will definitely not mind missing out.
Experienced hunters also knew this, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It has nothing to do with you, this is the trouble I caused."
But Ian spoke, surprising everyone: "Putting aside the fact that without me here, the Viscount would not have entrusted this batch of goods to us."
"This group of reef-eating sea otters hurriedly left the reefs to land. They came towards us in a straight line. There must be someone guiding them behind them."
"And, I know, it must be Feiyandi."
He turned his head, and behind his helmet, his cyan eyes flashing with spiritual energy scanned the entire caravan.
Ian said calmly: "Among the hunters accompanying the team, some are spies from the Flying Flame Land. It was he who lured the group of reef-eating sea otters here."
"I'll give you a chance to stand trial alive and stand up for yourself."
