Liu Mang observed that around Shenzhu Mountain, within a ten-mile radius, there were seven or eight crowded places, most of which were in the shape of ancient castles.
People who come to Shenzhu Mountain should come from these places.
Heading towards the north, he also passed by one of the ancient castles, which was somewhat similar to Bloodwind City in the Wulin World.
Surrounding the castle is a large area of fertile farmland, with many bare-armed farmers working hard to cultivate it. Not far from the farmland, there is a flowing river, running along the Shenzhu Mountain, and fishing is everywhere.
The appearance of the entire castle is made up of huge gray-white towers and towering black walls. Outside the iron gate, there are men guarding the castle with spears in their hands and bows and arrows on their backs.
Inside the castle, there are rows of houses, vendors buying and selling on the streets, and old women weaving clothes in front of their homes, giving a strong sense of life.
Looking at the comfortable situation in the fort, it seems that there are not many people living in dire straits as Da Wei and others said.
Liu Mang was slightly confused.
He felt it carefully and found that the most powerful aura in the castle was the fourth level peak. There were two of them, and their power was definitely not weak.
You must know that even in the mines where warriors gather, level four is rare.
Maybe this is one of the reasons why the people in the castle live peacefully.
Liu Mang did not enter the castle, but continued northward.
In order to avoid trouble, he slightly adjusted his appearance so as not to be recognized by the disciples of the sect who had come into contact with him.
During the march, Liu Mang discovered that far away from Shenzhu Mountain, there was almost no human habitation.
In this world, there seems to be no scattered villages or solitary hermits. Human beings generally live in large groups.
The surrounding vegetation is getting denser and denser, and the number of wild animals has also increased significantly.
Soon, Liu Mang came to a dense forest full of peach trees and found that each of the peach trees was about ten feet thick and ten feet tall, far exceeding the size of peach trees in the martial arts world.
As for the fruit peach.
With a 'pop' sound, a pink peach the size of a watermelon flew into his hand.
Liu Mang took a bite and found that the pulp was extremely sour, so he hurriedly spat it out.
This world has plenty of energy, and the plants are much larger than the previous world, but they may not grow and evolve in a direction that is beneficial to humans.
'Buzz buzz!'
A group of mosquitoes, each as big as a fist, flew over. Before they even got close to Liu Mang, they were burned clean by the strong blood energy all over his body.
A hare, the size of an adult golden retriever, rushed out. Its eyes were blood red and full of violent energy. It rushed towards Liu Mang without fear of life or death.
He was knocked unconscious by Liu Mang's finger and became his meal today.
Liu Mang was a little surprised. The strength of this hare was much greater than that of a golden retriever. It would take a lot of effort for an adult to capture it.
Of course, he has always been in contact with warriors. Maybe ordinary people in this world will be much more powerful than the previous world.
Later, Liu Mang discovered in the peach forest, cobras as thick as buckets, sparrows that were comparable to eagles, and even more rare species that he had never seen before.
But without exception, these huge beasts, almost all of them had red eyes and no sense of consciousness. When they saw him, they would rush towards him without fear of death.
Even if the celebrity fell into this peach forest, it would probably take a lot of trouble to come out intact.
Liu Mang even encountered a yellow tiger with black striped wings in the deepest part of the jungle, which looked very similar to the golden tiger.
But its aura has suddenly reached the second level peak, and it can no longer be regarded as a wild beast, but an out-and-out ferocious beast.
But so far, Liu Mang has not encountered a monster with intelligence like humans.
After leaving the peach blossom forest, it was nighttime, and Liu Mang also began to climb over the mountains.
At night, as the moonlight shines down from the sky, the surrounding environment becomes extremely harsh.
The beasts have become more active, the strange and ferocious creatures that emerge from the underground soil from time to time, and the gradually accumulating toxic miasma have also given Liu Mang a deeper understanding of the dangers of this world's wild environment.
The area around Shenzhu Mountain had definitely been cleaned up before, forming an area suitable for human survival.
But in more places, there are so many dangers that it is difficult for ordinary people to survive.
After understanding this, Liu Mang felt a little bored and started to run faster.
The figure turned into a phantom in the air, blowing like a breeze, confusing the expressions of some ferocious beasts that smelled human beings.
After walking for hundreds of miles, he saw another human gathering place, which was composed of a dozen Zhuangzi groups that were relatively close to each other.
These Zhuangzi are only defended by some iron fences on the outside, which is much smaller than the scale of the ancient castle.
As for the largest city, Liu Mang has not seen it yet.
After leaving this human gathering place.
After walking for an unknown number of miles, the bright moon disappeared and the morning sun rose. Liu Mang came to a valley with rugged rocks and numerous trees.
At this time, his eyes narrowed and he stopped.
On the ground in front, there were many white bones lying on them, and there were even sporadic pieces of putrid flesh and blood hanging on them. It was obvious that the person had not been dead for long.
Liu Mang released the Yang Domain, which instantly expanded to a hundred feet, and everything around him was fully visible.
In addition to these white bones, there are some fragmented bones almost every few feet, which shows that there are definitely not few people coming to this valley on weekdays.
Suddenly, Liu Mang looked forward, and his figure disappeared instantly.
"run!"
"Run!"
Two men wearing animal robes, one was less than twenty years old, the other looked to be forty years old, both were holding machetes, covered in blood, and running away quickly with panic-stricken expressions on their faces.
Behind them, a leopard with a milky white horn, about three feet long, with wind blowing under its hooves, was chasing the two men slowly.
Its eyes were like two rubies, filled with cruel and bloodthirsty light.
The aura on its body has reached the third level. Even warriors in the Gang Qi realm must be careful when dealing with it, not to mention the two warriors in front whose cultivation level can only reach the second level.
boom!
The young man was covered in sweat and his face was red. He could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
"Uncle Third, help me!" the young man begged.
The middle-aged man in front of him who looked similar to him hesitated slightly, then turned around, trying to see if he could pull him up.
'bass!'
At this moment, he heard a sound like a sword being drawn.
The leopard, who seemed to him to be extremely powerful, suddenly had a tiny red dot appear between its eyebrows, then the aura in its eyes faded, and it fell to the ground with a 'bang'.
Liu Mang fell from the sky and asked concernedly: "Are you okay?"
"Thank you sir!"
"Thank you for saving your life. Why don't you go to Xiao Ke's house and let me serve you a bowl of home-brewed wine?"
The two of them narrowly escaped death and kowtowed profusely in thanks.
Liu Mang said indifferently: "It's just a little effort, you don't have to worry about it."
He turned around and wanted to leave.
At this time, the middle-aged man asked carefully: "Sir, do you not want the flesh and blood of this ferocious beast?"
Liu Mang shook his head: "You can just help yourself."
At Liu Mang's level, he would barely take a look at the flesh and blood of a seventh- or eighth-level demon.
The middle-aged man was overjoyed and pulled the young man to thank him: "Thank you, sir!"
To the warriors in this world, the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts is as valuable as the elixirs of monks, which can quickly improve their cultivation.
Liu Mang continued to move forward, but after about ten breaths, he stopped with an ugly look on his face.
In his perception, the aura of the two people just now was rapidly weakening and was about to disappear.
"Fu'er, you, you, why??" the middle-aged man asked with a knife stuck in his chest and vomiting blood with a desperate look on his face.
"Third uncle, I'm sorry. If I go back like this, I will definitely not be able to share much of the flesh and blood of this ferocious beast, and I may not be able to provide all of it to my dear cousin, the great genius in Zhuangzi, and your good son.
After all, he is only one step away from the third level. If he breaks through, Zhuangzi's overall strength will be greatly enhanced.
But, why? Since I have poor qualifications, will I always get less than him? Will I always be at the second level? I discovered this beast!" The young man said with a ferocious expression, "As long as I can take it all to myself.
, there is no chance of breaking through to the third level!"
After the middle-aged man died, the young man's complexion instantly dimmed, and he even shed a few tears.
Obviously, it took a lot of determination for him to do all this.
The young man didn't notice.
On the top of the tree above the two of them, Liu Mang was watching all this with an indifferent expression.
There was a murderous intention in his heart, but he sighed slightly, did nothing, and left silently.
During the next trip, he once again witnessed the incident of brothers killing each other, and they also fought for the meat of ferocious beasts.
This world's resource shortage and human tension are evident.
Compared with the martial arts world full of morality, in this world where immortal cultivators are popular, morality seems to be an extremely scarce thing, which made Liu Mang sigh with emotion.
Liu Mang also stopped by to help a villager, resisting the attack of hundreds of ferocious beasts, and then declined the village owner's invitation and drifted away.
Finally, Liu Mang saw the first big city.
What comes into view is a metal city wall that is fifty or sixty feet high. Every few steps on the city wall, there is a hemispherical archery tower.
At the city gate, about twenty soldiers were strictly checking everyone.
Liu Mang discovered that he had to issue a document similar to a road guide before he could enter the city.
But this is naturally not a problem for him.
The soldiers only felt a gust of wind blowing by and did not notice anyone entering the city.
In the center of the city is a Taoist temple with simple decoration. At this time, the square in the Taoist temple is densely packed with people kneeling on their knees.
On the tall raised platform in the center of the square, stands a golden statue of an old man with a height of more than ten feet. His face is blurred and he looks up at the sky.
Under the statue, an old Taoist priest with gray hair stood in a yellow Taoist uniform and said loudly:
"In ancient times, there were warriors who caused great disasters and attracted a large-scale invasion of monsters. It was seven monks who led the human race to resist, drove away the monsters, and finally saved this world!"
"Among the seven Supreme Beings, the Supreme Supreme Being is the first in terms of magical power.
We mortals should always be grateful to the Supreme Being and pay tribute to the Supreme Being, so that we can be protected by the Supreme Being, free from illness and disaster, and can drive away evil spirits!"
As soon as the old Taoist priest finished speaking, the pious voices of everyone came out in unison:
"Fortunately, there is no disaster or calamity!"
"Fortunately, the Supreme Being can exorcise evil spirits and ward off evil spirits!"
"The mud comes from chaos, and the Supreme One appears to usher in a prosperous age!"
