In front of the east gate of Taocheng, hundreds of people have gathered here.
After all, the carrying space of storage bags is limited, and it will not ignore the weight issue like natural disasters eroding storage space. Therefore, business travelers can only use traditional transportation modes to transport large-volume goods or heavy goods.
That’s not to say there aren’t more advanced storage bags.
For example, on the second floor of Xuanling Tower, a monk collected a small group of robots using high-end storage bags.
However, these storage bags are relatively rare and not popular.
Chen Mo signed up for this caravan called the Hedong Merchant Group. There are many "loose cultivators" like him. After joining the caravan, they will become the peripheral guardian force of the caravan.
Therefore, the caravan is also keen to accept these casual cultivators.
Starting from the Tao City of Leilan Kingdom and heading to Daze Kingdom, you need to first cross the poisonous miasma land that stretches for hundreds of miles.
The Poisonous Miasma Land serves as the border buffer area between the Daze Country and the Leilan Country. Like the dangerous areas between other countries, it is a natural dangerous place left by wars in ancient times, with various dangers emerging one after another.
But poisonous places are different from ordinary dangerous places.
During the ancient war, this place seemed to have been a gathering place for invaders. As a result, in addition to the poisonous creatures and undead creatures that are common in poisonous places in the Guixu world, many metal monsters were left behind in the poisonous miasma.
These metal monsters feed on monks' magic weapons and various minerals all year round and are extremely dangerous.
Generally speaking.
After the ancient war, these metal creatures were more distributed in the ancient battlefield area on the other side of the continent. For some unknown reason, they also formed a gathering area in this area.
These metal creatures.
Once he is invulnerable, it is difficult for ordinary Qi training monks to defeat him.
Secondly, some of these guys became infected with the death aura of this place and produced new mutants, becoming even more dangerous and difficult to deal with.
In addition, killing these creatures will not produce any resources that are beneficial to the monks at all. Therefore, the high-level monks of the major sects are too lazy to pay attention to these troublesome and dangerous creatures, allowing them to serve as Leilan Kingdom and Leilan Kingdom in the poisonous land.
The barrier between Osawa states continues.
"With Master Chen Mo joining us on this trip, the safety of our Hedong caravan will undoubtedly be enhanced."
The caravan manager's polite words were repeated to almost every new casual cultivator, and Chen Mo didn't take them to heart.
After a while.
Chen Mo was placed near the back row by the caravan and was responsible for guarding three nearby fully loaded carriages.
Because of the long distance, Chen Mo sat on the carriage in the middle. The old man with a hunchback who drove the carriage smiled humbly at Chen Mo.
"Is this the first time for the Immortal Master to cross a poisonous miasma?"
When Chen Mo heard this, he had no intention of hiding it.
"how?"
The hunchbacked old man was driving the carriage, looking relaxed and carefree, without any regard for the poisonous land.
"Master Immortal, don't be nervous. Although the poisonous miasma is dangerous to outsiders, the Chamber of Commerce has actually mastered several safe routes, all of which avoid the territory of those golden-core beasts. As for the bone demons born here in response to the death energy,
As well as all kinds of poisons that arise in response to the poisonous miasma, the caravan also has methods to deal with them, which can generally ensure that there is no danger."
Hearing the old man's confidence, Chen Mo couldn't help but be surprised.
The golden-core beast the other party mentioned was obviously the metal monster the monk mentioned, which was what was left behind by the semi-metal cyborgs on the fifth floor of the Gulan Temple after the Great Tomb Evil God broke through the world barrier.
The other party called it the Golden Core Beast, apparently because it was said that after killing these metal monsters, a metal ball would appear in the body, hence the name.
However, after a long period of research, the monks did not discover the use of this "gold core".
Seeing Chen Mo like this, the old man smiled proudly.
"However, I have been working for the Chamber of Commerce for so many years. I have had bad luck several times and encountered migrating golden-core beasts. Therefore, I have mastered a set of life-saving methods. As long as you do not wear metal jewelry, these terrifying golden-core beasts will generally not be attracted.
hostility."
Chen Mo heard this and smiled slightly.
"Been taught a lesson."
The convoy moved forward steadily. There were about forty or fifty vehicles, and most of them were loaded with Lingzhu, a specialty of Leilan Country.
About two hours later.
"alert!"
The shouts in front of him made Chen Mo put away his books and instinctively look at the hunchbacked old man beside him.
The old man took a puff on the cigarette but still looked indifferent.
"It is the outer miasma area. Once you pass this miasma area, you will officially enter the poisonous miasma area. Generally, there is no danger. However, you must be careful of the evil cultivators who may be hiding here. But with the strength of our caravan, we have gathered together
With so many monks, there should be no problem."
Hearing what the hunchbacked old man said, Chen Mo felt relieved.
Another hour passed.
The surrounding miasma fog gradually became thinner, and the forest gradually became quieter.
The plants here are black and gray, very similar to the polluted plants in the secret realm of the Quran Temple, and there is a faint air of decay and death.
roar.
A hoarse roar came from the front of the motorcade.
However, the convoy showed no intention of stopping.
When Chen Mo's carriage approached, he discovered that the so-called hoarse roar was actually coming from the flowers of this strange plant. Its roots were cut off by the monk in front, and bright red juice like blood flowed out, and the flowers fell to the ground.
Then, he let out a shrill wail.
The hunchbacked old man looked unconcerned and just glanced at it lightly.
"This is a beautiful thorn. It can imitate a woman's singing at night. Once a curious person gets close, it will be entangled and sucked by it. When I was young, I once saw two good young men being sucked by this thing overnight.
Become a human being."
After hearing what the other party said, Chen Mo nodded.
"It's really weird."
When the wheels of the carriage ran over the severed thorns, a shrill scream was heard, like a woman's wail, which made Chen Mo couldn't help but take a second look.
These are mostly evil creatures that mutated due to the blending of various complex environments.
Night falls.
The caravan vehicles gathered together, and a monk named Jing Dong, who was at the twelfth level of qi training, held a wooden fish-shaped magic weapon and prayed around the caravan.
Chen Mo couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"This is our Chamber of Commerce's secret weapon against those bone demons."
The hunchbacked old man knocked on the tobacco stem and poured out the broken tobacco leaves inside.
The Bone Demon in his mouth naturally refers to the undead creatures that were born under the influence of the death energy of this place, and the wooden fish-shaped magic weapon just now does seem to have some "exorcism and salvation" effect of the Buddhist magic weapon.
That's it.
Chen Mo followed the caravan heading to Daze Country and moved forward without any danger.
Three days later.
As we get closer to the border of Daze Country, the various dangers in the poisonous land seem to gradually increase.
Strange tentacles suddenly protruded from the muddy land. It seemed that they had been lying in wait here for a long time. The caravan was caught off guard and fell into huge chaos.
In Chen Mo's hand, there were a few more iron pieces.
Under the control of his basic mind power, these metal pieces floated up and turned into afterimages, slashing towards the strange touch closest to him.
Under Chen Mo's attack, this strange touch was split into two.
A fragment of about two meters fell.
But this severed body part is like a gecko's tail, constantly beating in the mud, throwing out a smelly green liquid.
The liquid appears to contain corrosive ingredients.
After being thrown on Chen Mo, it only made his skin itchy, indicating that his defense was lowered, but the old horse beside him let out a scream.
"ah!!"
He kept wiping the skin that was splashed with green liquid.
In a short period of time, the skin turned into blood, and he was rolling on the ground in severe pain.
"Old horse!"
After these three days of getting along, Chen Mo and the hunchbacked old man had gotten to know each other.
After he saw the other party's miserable state, Chen Mo quickly released a reverse telekinesis bomb on him, which alleviated his pain, and turned on the kettle to clean his wounds.
"careful!"
The old horse screamed at the top of his lungs to remind him.
Sensing the danger, Chen Mo took him and rolled on the spot.
Bang!
The carriage next to the two of them was shattered like a toy building block by this huge strange tentacle about half a meter in diameter and at least ten meters in length.
When Chen Mo saw this, he took a deep breath.
Compared to this monster of staggering size, the monster he killed just now was just the son of Monster.
Look around.
There are quite a lot of these giant monsters. There are only twenty or thirty monks in the caravan, half of them are long-term employed monks in the caravan, and the other half are casual cultivators. At this moment, everyone is in a state of chaos.
"Thank you very much."
The old horse who had escaped with his life looked extremely ugly.
Chen Mo actually saw panic and confusion in his eyes.
"What kind of creatures are these, old horse, do you know?"
When Lao Ma heard this, he shook his head and looked a little ugly.
"I have been following caravans for more than thirty years, and I have never seen such a gregarious creature, and I have never heard of it from anyone else."
"ah!!"
While the two were talking, another groom not far away let out a shrill scream.
I saw another strange thing with an astonishing size. It used the suction cup on its body to suck the man and threw him into the air.
Then the monster touched the top, opened its chrysanthemum-like mouth, and swallowed the screaming coachman in one gulp.
There was a pop.
After the strange touch trembled for a while, it shrank back into the soil.
"Old Yangtou!!"
Seeing this, Lao Ma cried out sadly, but to no avail.
Seeing another strange tentacle sticking out of the ground and attacking Chen Mo, he glanced at the corroded iron piece in his hand. If he persisted in killing this strange tentacle, it would probably be completely corroded.
But at this time, I can't care so much.
While attacking this strange touch, he moved flexibly to dodge.
Although the attack power of these strange touches is strong and the corrosive damage is not bad, their flexibility is not high.
After a while.
Under Chen Mo's attack, this strange touch was killed by him.
Lao Ma, who had previous experience, hid under another carriage to avoid being injured by the corrosive liquid.
After seeing Chen Mo kill this monster, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But then I noticed that the soil under my feet seemed to become loose.
The pupils of his eyes suddenly shrank.
There was no time to react, and a big mouth like a chrysanthemum suddenly shot up from the ground, targeting the old horse hiding under the carriage. After a brief scream, sawdust from the wheels flew into the air, and the old horse disappeared without a trace.
When Chen Mo came back to his senses after killing the monster in front of him, Lao Ma was no longer behind him.
The battlefield was quite chaotic, with screams and mysterious attacks everywhere, and Lao Ma could no longer be found.
"Why."
Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Chen Mo knew that he had probably died here.
