Fang Ping walked along the place with high energy density. He didn't know where the city closest to the entrance was, where it was, and which one it was?
In short, just move forward.
When the outline of a huge city appeared in front of Fang Ping's eyes, Fang Ping was slightly shocked.
Very majestic and spectacular!
Fang Ping was a little hard to describe for a while. He had been to Hope City several times, but Hope City was a bit small and it was also a military town specially prepared for war.
The cave city is different. A city here is almost a kingdom.
The outermost outline of the outline is the endless tall city wall!
Fang Ping couldn't even see the end of the city wall at a glance!
Inside the city, some tall buildings could be faintly seen, towering into the sky, instead of being filled with low-rise houses as he imagined.
In the Demon City Catacombs, Fang Ping had actually never been close to the cave city.
The most recent time was also in the Cunning King's Forest. Because of the obstruction of the Cunning King's Forest, he actually didn't see anything.
But this time, he saw it!
Not only did we see the city, but we also saw villages and market towns.
On the outskirts of the huge city, there were some small villages. At this moment, Fang Ping could see with his sight, less than a kilometer away, there was a small village, which might be regarded as a market town.
The market town was quite lively with people coming and going.
And this kind of situation will never be seen in the Demon City Caves, or in other caves.
War not only causes damage to human beings, but also to caves.
In other caves, due to wars, the villages near these cities have long since disappeared due to wars and hunting.
When cave warriors attack human strongholds, humans will also sneak attack on them.
The city's defensive power is too strong, and the surrounding villages and towns have become the focus of hunting.
War always hurts ordinary people.
No matter what is right or wrong!
Human beings hunted down the humans in the caves and massacred villages and towns. It was not uncommon for some masters to be called butchers in the caves.
However, this does not mean that he is wrong.
Race wars are so cruel.
His enemy is my hero!
Fang Ping is not qualified to stand on the moral high ground and say that the human warriors are wrong. The cave warriors are also killing humans when they rush into the ground.
Therefore, strong humans will not set the battlefield on the earth regardless of life or death.
As long as humans do not take the initiative to enter the cave, so many strong men will not die this time. The sacrifices of these strong men can actually be avoided.
By waiting for the cave passage to be fully opened and for the cave warriors to rush out, humans may be able to annihilate them at a lower cost.
However, sometimes, the reason why people are human is because some of the things they consider are not entirely based on interests.
Once the strong men in the cave break out, even if they are all wiped out.
But in the battle between strong men, if you are not careful, the city will be destroyed.
No one can afford such a price!
Ordinary people may seem insignificant in the battle of the caves, but these people are the cornerstone of civilization.
Strong men like Zhang Dingnan had no hesitation, knowing that there were many dangers, knowing that the strong men in the cave might not break out and destroy Nanjiang, but they still ignored life and death and chose to enter the cave as soon as the tunnel passage was stable.
Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, Zhang Dingnan does not want the battlefield to be the land of Nanjiang.
He loves the place where he was born and raised deeply.
If it were Fang Ping, he might not be able to do this.
He might choose a method that seems more cost-effective to him. Even if the people of several cities near Ruian are relocated and one less master is killed, Fang Ping feels it is worth it.
Fang Ping is not alone in having such an idea.
However, in the end, the battlefield must be set in the caves, which became the mainstream policy of China. Whether it was hypocritical or short-sighted, the sacrifice of the strong in exchange for the carefreeness of the weak became the goal pursued by generations of warriors.
In the last days, the cruel environment may not bring about more strong people.
Even if they could, do these strong men really still belong to humans?
Warmth, family affection, love, and protecting the home and country may make human beings burst into stronger power.
If we really lived in an apocalyptic environment, could human warriors really shed their blood to protect their homeland and country?
When the strong give up on the ordinary people, will the strong ones who rise from the ordinary people still fight to protect mankind?
…
Fang Ping's thoughts were a little far away.
Looking at the carefree cave humans in front of them, whose appearance is not much different from that of humans, walking on the streets, and the children playing outside the market town, I felt a little emotional, and my face quickly returned to indifference.
No matter how tender it is, it is also an alien kind of tenderness!
In a racial war, one cannot be merciful. One day, if necessary, he Fang Ping may become a butcher and executioner in the eyes of these people.
After taking a breath, Fang Ping did not enter the town.
Instead of continuing forward, he found a small forest and sat down cross-legged to start practicing.
It's getting dark soon, and it's not too late to enter the town when it gets dark. At least we can get some idea of the situation and make preparations.
…
The night in the underground cave comes as soon as it comes.
The huge energy sun is also the main reason for verifying that the caves are one.
However, the energy suns seen in each cave are slightly different. It is temporarily difficult to judge whether there is one energy sun for each cave or a shared sun.
As soon as it gets dark, the market town ahead becomes much quieter.
Quiet does not mean silent.
The tallest building in the market town emitted a faint light, allowing people to still see the outline of the market town clearly in the night.
Fang Ping suddenly understood how Qin Fengqing and the others discovered the energy stone!
"I see!"
"Every time they rob, it's this kind of lighting energy stone, right?"
The radiation range is so wide, even if it is not a cultivation energy stone, even if it is a basic energy stone, it must be huge!
As for whether it is true or not, Fang Ping has not obtained it and cannot judge for the time being.
"When I leave, even if I don't gain anything in the city, I still have to grab this!"
Fang Ping had a plan in mind, and the huge city in the distance also showed a faint light at this moment.
Fang Ping swallowed his saliva. There was no need to look. There were definitely lamps made of energy stones in the city, and there were quite a few of them. From such a distance, he could see the light. Nine times out of ten, there was more than one energy lamp, but
Countless lamps.
Without saying anything, these alone are a huge and incomparable wealth for mankind!
Patting the lump of flesh on his back, Fang Ping whispered: "I'll sneak in first, Old Li, don't make any noise, you're destined to make a fortune this time!"
The meat ball was silent.
Fang Ping felt it carefully, exhaled slightly and said, "Don't pretend to be dead. If you pretend to be dead like this, I really think you are dead."
Old Man Li ignored him and continued to remain quiet.
Fang Ping stopped talking nonsense, activated the energy barrier, accelerated his steps, and reached the outskirts of the market town in a moment without making any sound.
In the market town, there is a simple wall, maybe a city wall, but it doesn't look taller than a person. It should be mainly to prevent monsters from intruding.
For Fang Ping, there is no difference between having and not having this height.
With a slight jump, Fang Ping climbed over the wall and entered the market town.
The market town at this moment is not as busy as during the day. Except for the light emitting from the tallest building in the center of the market town, there are still some faint lights in the market town.
Fang Ping's mental power is free, mainly to sense the strength of energy fluctuations.
Find a place with a lot of people and people talking, and you can learn more.
Humanity's understanding of caves often comes from this.
There are high-level guards in the city, so it is difficult for strong humans to enter. In market towns, it is not difficult for masters to sneak in. Sometimes you can also hear some useful information.
After sensing it for a moment, Fang Ping moved his steps and walked quietly towards a place with more people.
…
In the dark, Fang Ping stood in the corner of the house. He couldn't notice him unless he looked carefully.
Opposite him is a two-story building with an open door.
The houses in the cave are mainly made of huge rocks and wood, which are slightly rough. The decorations are mainly animal skins, horns, and teeth.
From this point of view, the cave humans are more like ancient tribes of humans.
However, buildings cannot represent anything, they are just different styles.
The cave humans have their own written heritage, martial arts heritage, systems, and an organized army. These all mean that the cave humans are not uncivilized savages, but a new civilization with a different development direction.
Opposite, there may be places similar to human bars, teahouses, clubs, etc.
At this moment, the lights were a little dim, but there were many people inside.
Almost all are warriors!
The underground caves have different levels. Fang Ping doesn't know whether it's because the cost is high and ordinary people can't afford to enter, or whether they're not allowed in at all. The few cave humans he saw who didn't have energy fluctuations seemed to be service personnel.
Others, whether strong or weak, have energy fluctuations.
From Fang Ping's point of view, they are all weak. They are roughly the same as first- and second-grade human warriors. Third-grade warriors are rare. There is only one person drinking alone on the second floor. With such strength, Fang Ping does not need to take action. His mental power explodes and is shocking.
Immortal strong men, these weaklings can be killed in the blink of an eye.
Of course, Fang Ping was not here to kill people at this moment.
Fang Ping's ears twitched slightly, and he could hear ants crawling within a few hundred meters as long as he listened carefully.
The warriors opposite were drinking wine... Fang Ping guessed it was wine, which was very similar to the way humans drink, chat and spank.
Drinking wine and chatting.
Mixed with a somewhat strong accent, Fang Ping sounded a little difficult to distinguish the first time, but after listening to it a few times, he could understand some of the meaning.
When you understand a language, you understand the meaning of some basic languages, and then you can distinguish some meanings by combining the tone, attitude, and expression.
Today's hot news topic is none other than the day's war!
The battle between 20 high-ranking people took place about 500 miles away from here. The later chase battles, and even the ninth-ranking battle took place less than a hundred miles away from everyone. The power of the strong was overwhelming.
Gedi, these people feel it.
At this moment, these low-level warriors were discussing this unprecedented super war with great interest.
"Brother Duanmu, you are well-informed. Did the king himself take action during the day?"
"Brother Duanmu, is Chalk City coming?"
"I heard that many generals died this time. Is it true?"
"..."
"It's not the Chalk City that came over, it's the strong men from foreign lands!" Among the crowd, a second-grade young warrior said with a smile: "You all know that our Southern Nine Regions are not unique.
This time, it seems that the domain boundary has opened up, and the powerful people from the domain adjacent to us want to invade our Southern Nine Domains.
The king and several venerable commanders had already prepared to ambush the opponent.
The strong men from foreign lands suffered numerous casualties. Although Juliu City was damaged, it was not serious. With the king and several venerables present, the strong men from foreign lands could not make waves.
I heard from my father that the king has sent people to contact Giant Pine City to join forces to kill the king-level strongman from the foreign land.
As long as we kill the foreign king who broke through the world, the matter will be over."
"Is there a king in a foreign land?"
"Of course, but my king is the strongest even among the kings. With Shenliu in the Giant Willow City, kings from foreign lands would not dare to fight against the king in the Giant Willow City. They will definitely die!"
"Brother Duanmu, I heard that many warriors and strong men died this time. Lord Duanmu... next time I see Brother Duanmu, I may go to the main city."
"Be careful..."
"..."
In the wine shop, everyone on the first floor was chatting, but they were not panicked by the arrival of the foreign king.
As long as King Liu is here, everything will be safe. This has been deeply rooted in people's hearts for hundreds of years.
The Chalk King is so powerful, and he didn't get any advantage against the Liu King before.
Everyone has long known how powerful the king is, and they have great trust in King Liu.
…
Opposite the wine shop.
Fang Ping continued to discern the meaning of people's words, and listened more to other people's chats. If he didn't understand some words, he would gradually understand the general meaning.
"Senior Brother Wu is indeed fine, but...it seems that the Ninth Rank in this city wants to contact the Ninth Rank in another city to join forces to surround and kill Senior Brother Wu. Will Old Wu be in trouble?"
"It will take at least the day after tomorrow for the passage to be stable for the second time. And the second time it is stable, it is hard to say whether a ninth-grade person has entered... After all, no one went back to report this time."
According to the original plan, if the entrance of the passage is guarded, people will be sent back to report the news when the passage is stabilized for the second time.
But now, the entrance to the passage cannot be guarded, so the report is naturally nonsense.
On the other side of the Nanjiang River, they may not continue to let the strong take risks. According to the original plan, some death-defying personnel may be sent to gather information.
Once there is no one to support him... Wu Chuan may not be able to hold out for long when faced with the encirclement and suppression by the two ninth-grade men.
"It's hard to say. With so many high-grade people entering this time, maybe the second batch of ninth-grade experts will come in to support us. Old Wu should be aware of this."
Fang Ping shook his head. Although he was the president of the Mowu Martial Arts Society, he was not a master after all. He had no right to know about some decisions.
What he knows now is only some superficial information.
"You still have to get into the upper echelons."
Fang Ping murmured in his heart and carefully discerned what "Duanmu" said.
Even though he didn't understand some of the words he heard, Fang Ping still knew that this old man seemed to be a figure. Should he be arrested and asked for information?
But if they are caught, they must be killed and silenced.
Once this person is killed, it will be a bit alarming, which will not be beneficial to the subsequent infiltration into the city.
"Haven't the human grandmaster asked for some information in these years? Even if the language was blocked before, it was not difficult for the grandmaster to arrest some people. Those people are not afraid of death when they reach the ground, but they are not afraid of death in their lair in the cave?"
"Sometimes, asking for information does not necessarily require someone who speaks the same language."
Fang Ping touched his chin, always feeling that the higher-ups in the human race were hiding many things. This feeling was really not pleasant.
But it is also understandable that just like Fang Ping, he also conceals a lot of things that seem to be common sense from the public.
If you haven't reached that level, it's useless to know.
He is a fourth-level warrior, and perhaps in the eyes of higher-ups in the human race, he only moves around near the stronghold. He knows too much and is of little use. On the contrary, it can easily cause panic or despair.
"Forget it, I'll try to figure it out when we get back to the ground. The first priority is to grab a tongue so that it doesn't attract anyone's attention."
Fang Ping aimed his gaze at the lone ranger on the second floor!
A third-grade warrior should know a lot, right?
In this small town, a third-grade person is no longer a weakling. If he suddenly disappeared for a few days, few people would ask, right?
Cave warriors will also go out to hunt, explore, and hunt for treasures.
I just don't know if there is a powerful relative or friend in this family who found out that the person was missing, which triggered associations.
"No matter!"
Fang Ping gritted his teeth. He wasn't planning to stay long anyway. He might return to the ground in a few days.
It's better to catch him and ask him first. Being exposed in a small town is better than being exposed in a city. At least here, Fang Ping is still confident of killing him and escaping.
Once we get to the city, we are no longer sure.
…
In the darkness, Fang Ping was very patient and waited slowly.
While listening to other people talking, pay attention to the behavior of the lone traveler on the second floor.
I don’t know how long it took, but the man on the second floor came downstairs.
The owner of the wine shop and the guests on the first floor showed respect when he came downstairs, lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes to see each other off respectfully, even the "Mr. Duanmu" was no exception.
The guests on the second floor walked out without looking sideways, and no one showed any dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Fang Ping had a clearer understanding of the strict hierarchy of the catacombs.
In China, although everyone respects high-ranking warriors, it doesn't go as far as this.
"It's you!"
In the darkness of the night, Fang Ping followed the other party with his mental energy and followed him all the way away, first to get a feel for the situation before talking about it.
If the other party takes the initiative to go out, or there is no one else at home, it will be easier to attack.
"Maybe I need to catch one more to prevent myself from being scammed."
Fang Ping continued to think in his mind, it was a matter of life and death, he always took it seriously, but he was not as wasteful as Qin Fengqing, that kind of person would die sooner or later.
