Shi walked in Rikang City for a while, and Shi Mu found that this city was comparable to some cities in Dongzhou Continent. Although it was not inferior in scale, it seemed to have a sense of returning to nature, especially some residential areas.
The style of the wild tribe.:3.し
Here, if you look around, you will see that most of the buildings are single-story buildings, but double-story or even multi-story buildings are rare.
Along the way, most of the shops along the street mainly sell spiritual materials, elixirs and monster materials, and there are very few shops selling finished products.
I guess it has something to do with the fact that the barbarians in Xihe Continent are not good at this. In this regard, they are similar to the barbarians in Dongzhou Continent.
However, this may be one of the reasons why the various heaven and earth resources in Nishiga Continent have not yet been exhausted.
With Cai'er chirping all the way, Shi Mu stopped at the door of a two-story shop.
The building of this store seems to be carved from a whole piece of dark boulder with a diameter of more than 20 feet. The middle of the boulder is hollowed out, opening up an open shop space inside, which is quite special.
This is a shop that sells spiritual materials. It can be regarded as the largest shop of its kind in the city.
There were not many customers in the shop at the moment, so Shi Mu was happy to be quiet and walked in immediately.
There were some exquisite wooden shelves in the shop, with many exotic flowers and plants of various colors on display, which made Shi Mu feel dazzled for a while.
"Sea Breeze Vine, Phytolacca Tail, Golden Amaranth, Turtle Grass..."
After Shi Mu calmed down for a while, he still recognized some spiritual herbs, and murmured silently in a voice that only he could hear.
Speaking of which, the reason why Shi Mu recognized a small part of the items displayed in this store was due to some ancient books that he had accidentally obtained from his opponents over the years. In his spare time during training, he would sometimes read through them.
However, this small amount of recognizable objects really shocked Shi Mu.
Because many of these things are key ingredients for refining some high-level talismans and elixirs, they are all valuable in Dongzhou Continent, and they are even rarer to find on the market.
At this time, a short, fat, barbarian man with thick eyebrows and a purple beard came up to Shi Mu with a smile on his face and said:
"What do you need, our guest? Can you help me introduce you to me?"
This person's appearance and temperament are different from those of the waiters in the store. He should be the manager of this store. It must be because Shi Mu is not weak in cultivation and has extraordinary equipment, so he is very polite in his words.
"I wonder if your store sells demon ape essence blood?" Shi Mu asked with a thought in his heart.
"Your Majesty, you are here by chance. Our store has recently received a batch of Yunshan Monster Ape Essence Blood, which is of good quality. I wonder if your Majesty would like to take a look?" said the man with thick eyebrows.
"But I don't know if there is blood essence and blood above the peak innate level in it?" Shi Mu asked.
"This... the Yunshan Monster Ape's highest strength is only at the early stage of Xiantian. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. But with all due respect, if this store doesn't have something, other spiritual material stores in the city may not have it either." The man with thick eyebrows said with some embarrassment.
"Why, is it difficult to find the high-level demon ape?" Shi Mu asked.
"My guest does not know that our Donghe area is dominated by snake and python monsters. It is generally difficult to find traces of high-level monster apes. The Xuanhua area where monster apes live is far away from this place and is extremely dangerous. High-level monster apes are rare.
Monster materials flow here. However, if you are lucky, they may appear in the auctions occasionally held in the city." said the man with thick eyebrows.
Shi Mu smiled bitterly in his heart, it seemed that the search for the blood of the demon ape would still need some chance, so he would let it go for the time being.
He was about to leave when suddenly something moved in his mind and he asked again: "By the way, I wonder if I can ask you something?"
"It doesn't matter, sir. As long as I know, I will tell you everything." The man with thick eyebrows said with a smile.
"I wonder if you know about Lingtian Peak?" Shi Mu asked
"The guest asked about this peak. Do you want to go there?" The man with thick eyebrows was stunned and asked:
Shi Mu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, without commenting.
"Excuse me, but you can't go to that place." The thick-browed man frowned and said.
"Oh, why did you say that?" Shi Mu asked a little strangely.
"The Lingtian Peak is the holy land of the monster clan, and it is also a dangerous place. Not to mention us barbarians, even ordinary monsters cannot approach it at will." The man with thick eyebrows said.
"Holy land?" Shi Mu asked with some confusion.
"I happen to know a little bit about this matter. Since the guest is interested, I will elaborate on it." The man with thick eyebrows said.
"That's very good. Thank you very much, Your Excellency." Shi Mu said.
Through the thick-browed man's next words, Shi Mu finally gained some understanding of the history and current situation of the Saiga Continent.
According to him, the Saiga Continent is divided into thirty-six areas. This Lingtian Peak is located in the Naluo area in the middle of the Saiga Continent. It is said that this peak towers into the clouds and can be said to connect the sky and the earth. Now it consists of three major powers.
The most prosperous demon tribe guards it and regards it as a sacred place. No one is allowed to approach it, otherwise they will be shot without mercy.
As for why it is called the Holy Land of the Monster Clan, it starts from thousands of years ago.
At that time, Xihe Continent originally had only two major races: barbarians and demons. The demons were divided into seventy-two tribes. The number of ethnic groups was huge and occupied most of the core areas of the continent. The barbarians were headed by ten major tribes and mainly lived in
Areas surrounding the mainland.
Since the totem warriors among the barbarians need to use a large amount of monster souls and materials from monster beasts during their training, they often kill the monsters. The strong ones among the monsters gradually began to take revenge on the barbarians. Over time,
, the conflict between the two sides intensified, and eventually a war broke out between the demon and barbarian tribes.
Over the next hundred years, disputes continued between the demon and barbarian tribes, and countless large and small battles broke out. For a time, the Saiga continent was filled with blood.
The barbarians are far more intelligent than the demons, and they can use totem secrets to refine magical weapons. Together with the barbarian kings of the ten major tribes, they form an alliance. They share the same hatred and the enemy, and gradually gain an advantage in the battle.
There were already many conflicts among the various tribes of the Monster Clan, and they did not form a joint force. They were eventually defeated by the barbarians one by one, resulting in heavy casualties. In the end, a large area that belonged to the Monster Clan was occupied by the barbarians.
"Under such circumstances, suddenly one day, a demon king appeared among the demon clan. He looked like a white ape. He subdued the leaders of the seventy-two demon tribes with his thunderous power. He took Ling Tianfeng as his base and led all the demons.
Sweeping across the Xihe Continent, the barbarians who were originally in great momentum were completely defeated. Most of the ten barbarian kings were killed and injured, and each part fell apart. The white ape demon king even claimed that he would drive all the barbarians out of the Xihe Continent, and he was extremely arrogant.
, and our barbarian side was once in a precarious situation." The thick-browed man said.
"White Ape! Could it be..." When Shi Mu heard these two words, his heart was shocked, and he vaguely thought of something.
"Boss, where did this White Ape Demon King come from?" At this moment, Cai'er on Shi Mu's shoulder suddenly asked.
"Some people say that the White Ape Demon King fell from the sky, while others say that it was created by an ancient demon who practiced in seclusion for thousands of years. However, the demon clan mostly believes that the White Ape Demon King came down from Lingtian Peak. In short, there are different opinions.
There is no way to prove it." The thick-browed man glanced at Cai'er in surprise, shook his head and said.
Cai'er seemed to want to ask more questions, but Shi Mu's finger flicked her and she calmed down.
"What happened next?" Shi Mu asked.
"What happened later was a bit dramatic. In this case, a group of humans from the East Continent crossed west and called themselves the Mingyue Cultists. They had just entered Xihe and had no foundation. I don't know what they had achieved with the barbarian kings.
Agreement, we began to cooperate with our barbarians to fight against the monsters together. With the addition of the Necromancer Legion of the Mingyue Sect, the strength of the barbarians increased greatly, and they were finally able to deal with the monsters, but because the white ape monster king was too strong
, as long as he appears, the battle will still be one-sided. Just when the barbarians and the Mingyue Sect are gradually unable to hold on, the White Ape Demon King suddenly disappeared just like when he appeared."
"Missing?" Shi Mu asked in surprise.
"That's right. Not long after he left, the demon tribes began to show civil strife again. In addition, the century-old war lasted for too long, and both sides were tired, so the war gradually subsided. Since then,
, Lingtian Peak is called a holy land by the demon clan, and it is said to be the place where the White Ape Demon King appears and leaves. The demon clan believes that one day, the White Ape Demon King will appear from there again."
"I see." Shi Mu nodded thoughtfully.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words, and Shi Mu said goodbye to each other. Before leaving, he bought several spiritual materials needed to draw high-level talismans, which was considered as a way to thank the other party for his kindness.
After Shi Mu left the shop, he continued walking along the street.
"It seems that the situation in Xihe Continent is much more complicated than we expected. Lingtian Peak is actually the holy land of the demon clan. It may not be easy to go there. Shitou, what are your next plans?" Cai'er listened with interest just now, and is still at this moment
There is a feeling that something is still unfinished.
Shi Mu was silent and didn't speak for a while.
"You should think about it again, but it's already noon now and I'm very hungry. You promised to find a place to eat first." Cai'er shouted.
"You just eat and drink all day long, so you have nothing to worry about." Shi Mu glanced at Cai'er and said angrily.
"Who makes you the master? Of course it is you who have to consider this troublesome matter!" Cai'er said.
Shi Mu shook his head and walked forward. After walking for a while, he came to a rather luxuriously decorated restaurant.
"This is it." Shi Mu stepped in.
This is a large restaurant with quite gorgeous decoration and a very grand layout.
"My guest, who are you?" As soon as he entered the restaurant, a waiter came to greet him.
"Arrange a quiet room and bring some exquisite snacks," Shi Mu said.
"If there is good wine, bring some." Cai'er suddenly interrupted.
The clerk glanced at Cai'er in surprise. Although this was the Xihe continent and there were many monsters and beasts, talking birds were rare after all.
"Okay, you can invite me upstairs." He quickly agreed and introduced Shi Mu to the second floor.
The layout here is different from the lobby on the first floor. It is divided into many private rooms, which are almost independent of each other and very quiet.
After a warrior reaches the innate level, he can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and be able to go without eating for a long time. However, Shi Mu has been wandering all the way. He has not had a good meal for a long time. It is rare for him to sit down at this time.
