A few minutes later, in a large house in the center of the town.
Compared with the ordinary buildings on the outskirts of the town, third-level warriors are treated differently, and even the stones on the courtyard walls look smoother.
There was darkness in the house.
There were no servants, and there seemed to be no family members. Fang Ping sensed for a moment and confirmed that there was no one else in the house.
At this moment, the lone traveler had opened the courtyard door and entered the small courtyard.
There was not much vigilance, perhaps because he was used to being aloof, or perhaps because there had not been any major wars in the Nanjiang Cave.
Compared to other caves, everyone is on guard when leaving the city, which is completely different.
“Too comfortable!”
Fang Ping shook his head slightly, but this was fine. It was precisely because it was too comfortable that humans could sacrifice less.
…
Without rushing to take action, Fang Ping looked around and saw that there were several more houses near the house.
However, there seems to be no strong ones, and those below the middle level are not considered strong in Fang Ping's opinion.
After making sure that safety was guaranteed, Fang Ping quietly and without any noise, jumped in and entered the house.
The house is divided into two parts: front and back.
In front of the house, the other party quite enjoys it. He has planted many flowers, plants and trees, and the energy is quite abundant... Fang Ping actually wanted to pull it out and stuff it into the storage space, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do it. Pulling it out would easily arouse the association of outsiders.
…
In a room in the backyard, the lights were on at this moment.
Fang Ping held his breath attentively and slowly touched it.
Just do it without going up. Fang Ping arranged a mental barrier around the room. It is difficult to block the middle level, but it is not a big problem to block the lower three levels.
It was only then that Fang Ping opened the door and walked in. The door closed instantly and the mental barrier rose.
"Buzz!"
As soon as Fang Ping walked in, he was greeted by a pair of legs!
In order not to damage the environment, Fang Ping felt it was necessary to protect the facilities in the room. His mental power surged out instantly, suppressing the person opposite and his movements froze instantly!
"Be patient and don't be impatient."
Fang Ping said something in cave language. I don’t know if this word is correct, but it’s almost enough anyway.
He sat down on the chair in the room, and Fang Ping picked up the teapot on the table, with a hint of greed in his eyes that he wanted to take it away.
Is this made of jade?
No, it’s a teapot dug out of a whole piece of jade!
Damn it, are these cave warriors so rich?
I’ve never felt it before!
Over in the Demon City crypt, there was a seventh-grade lair. Fang Ping found that the things the other party used seemed to be average. He didn't expect that a third-grade warrior here would actually use a teapot made of this kind of jade.
Is there no such material in the crypts of the Demon City? Or does it exist, but it has been robbed by humans long ago?
"Little money, little money, don't worry about it."
Fang Ping exhaled and said, "Don't worry about these external things. This time, he came here firstly to sneak into the city, but mainly to see if Old Man Li could be saved."
The second is to gather information and help humans understand the Nanjiang Caves better.
As for his own profit-making, at the end of the day, Fang Ping felt that he still had a good view of the overall situation.
But... soon Fang Ping was not calm enough anymore!
Next to the teapot, there is something that looks like a small stove. It is made of metal on the outside and is actually embedded with energy stones!
Fang Ping placed the teapot on it and fumbled around for a while before he figured out how to operate it.
There was something similar to a switch. Fang Ping pressed it, and the energy stone began to release energy, and then the water in the teapot began to heat up.
"What a luxury, what a waste!"
After cursing a few words in his mind, Fang Ping didn't use a cup, but directly used the teapot to pour a few sips of hot water into his mouth, and entered the cave. It was a rare occasion to enjoy it like this.
After enjoying it for a while, Fang Ping looked at the third-level warrior who was restrained by him.
"explain!"
The voice was slightly gloomy, and combined with the blood-stained face, it seemed a bit scary.
In fact, as early as his mental power to suppress the other party, he almost scared the other party to the point of peeing.
A strong man above the commander level!
The first time Fang Ping released his mental power, the other party didn't call for help, but immediately fell to his knees and trembled: "Sir, what do you want to know?"
At this moment, Fang Ping's energy and blood power did not explode, and even if it did, this third-level warrior might not be aware of anything.
Seeing how cooperative he was, Fang Ping was unambiguous and immediately said: "Tell me everything about Juliu City!"
He heard of Juliu City. He heard this name many times. Fang Ping didn't care whether it meant what he understood.
When he asked this question, the warrior who was kneeling on the ground suddenly trembled!
This is not a strong man from Juliu City!
who?
People from Chalk City?
People in Chalk City would not ask a weak person like him such questions.
Who is that?
A strong man from a foreign land?
Although he had countless speculations in his mind, facing the threat of death, the man still began to talk in detail.
Fang Ping's question was not specific, and his answer was also very confusing.
Sometimes, Fang Ping didn't understand and asked the other party to repeat it several times, which made the third-grade warrior even more convinced that the commander-level strongman in front of him was most likely the foreign strongman who fought with Wang and the others today.
In fact, Fang Ping didn't expect to hide it.
As the middle-aged man in front of him narrated, Fang Ping gradually understood some basic common sense in their eyes.
Juliu City is their royal city.
Around the royal city, there are many villages, towns, and even small towns!
In the Demon City Caves, Fang Ping did not see any small cities, but that doesn't mean there are none. Here, near the royal city, there are some small cities built by high-quality and powerful people, which are attached to the royal city.
Building a city is the right of high-ranking and powerful people. A royal city must have a ninth-grade one, which is the king among the people in the cave.
The place where Fang Ping is now is not a small town, and there is no high-ranking person in charge, but it is very close to the royal city. There is a middle-level strongman in the town, or in other words, this town is the opponent's fiefdom.
Fang Ping was not very interested in this.
His main concern is the affairs of the royal city.
On the other side of the royal city, King Liu is the king of Juliu City. He has two venerables and a great commander under his command. Both the venerable and the great commander are eighth-grade strong men. This is the existence of the same class.
Venerable is similar to the honorific title given to master by humans, while Grand Commander is a real job, similar to the military commander of the royal city.
Under the great commander, there are still two digits of commander-level experts in Juliu City. As for how many, the man is not sure.
Below that are the sixth-grade warrior-level warriors. These warriors are the mainstream and upper echelons of the royal city.
They may lead armies, found sects, or form families.
The royal city is the king’s world.
However, there are many forces in the royal city, mainly family forces, military forces, and sect forces.
Fang Ping didn't know whether the sects in the cave were the same as those of humans. He could only listen to this guy's description and judge that this was a force similar to a sect.
Juliu City also has exchanges and business dealings with the outside world.
However, it only targets the demon plant lineage!
After Fang Ping asked carefully, he finally understood the meaning!
"Yao Zhi and Yao Ming two factions?"
Fang Ping murmured in his heart, do the higher-ups in the human race know about this? They should know about it, right?
It turns out that there are two groups in the underground caves.
The two veins of demon plant and demon life can actually be seen from the city emblem. If the city emblem is from a plant, then it is considered a demon plant vein. If the city emblem is from an animal, then it is a demon life vein.
"Tianmen City and Dongkui City are both of the demon plant lineage, and so is Juliu City!"
"The chalk city they talk about belongs to the demon life lineage."
"In fact, there is not much difference between the warriors on both sides. The biggest difference is the guardian beast!"
Fang Ping’s eyes were burning!
The city emblem is not a useless thing!
The sacred willow in the man's mouth is the patron saint of Juliu City. In fact, in Fang Ping's understanding, it is actually a monster, a plant-like monster.
The cave cities are all guarded by high-quality monsters.
Fang Ping didn't know whether the monster did it willingly or because it was forced to do so.
As for the plant-type monsters, when they reach high-level, they are generally extremely powerful, but that is not the strength. Plant-type monsters can gather energy and supply it to the people in the royal city for cultivation, allowing them to practice faster.
Animal monsters are difficult to do this, or are unwilling to do it.
However, the demon plant lineage also has flaws. The guardian beast is difficult to move and cannot go out.
As for monsters with a demon lifeline, they can go out and fight.
Fang Ping shook his head, and countless thoughts suddenly appeared in his mind.
According to this third-grade warrior, in the royal city, Shenliu can also lend the power of heaven and earth to the king. King Liu's strength will skyrocket in the royal city. King Bai Chuo once used the Chalk Beast King to fight against King Liu, but was defeated.
Fang Ping didn't know whether the other party was bragging or telling the truth about these gossips, so he just listened to them.
The cities of the Demonic Plant lineage will communicate with each other.
Including business dealings, jointly organizing people to explore and open up new territories, and offensive and defensive alliances to resist the demon fate lineage.
The third-grade warrior was not clear about the specific situation.
Although there is cooperation in the Yaozhi lineage, there is also competition.
Sometimes, they will go to war with each other. For example, if an energy mine is found, the two sides will compete. This person has participated in such a war.
All in all, the division of factions only prevents the two sides from becoming completely hostile, and the crypt city remains generally independent.
"What's the situation deep behind the Central Mountains?"
When Fang Ping asked this question, the other party was at a loss and didn't really understand this.
He didn't even know how many cities there were in the Nanjiang Catacombs.
I only know that near Giant Willow City, there is Giant Pine City and Chalk City.
Ordinary people and lower-level third-level warriors in the cave may only live near the royal city for the rest of their lives and will not go too far. It is also very dangerous outside.
"Then what is a foreign land?"
"Foreign land..."
The other party understood this question and responded quickly.
This can be regarded as common sense or legend.
Legend has it that the world they are in is not unique. There is another world on the far border and across the sea.
However, these worlds are not connected to each other, and there are barriers between heaven and earth.
Of course, this is just a legend, and people in Juliu City only listened to it as a legend before.
However, today's daytime battle reminded many people of this legend, and then the story of a strong man from another land came out.
Facts have also proved that the legend should be true.
No one in the royal city denied this statement.
Moreover, the world where they are located was called the Southern Nine Territories a long time ago. This is also evidence that the world is not the only one.
The strong may all know this fact, but only the weak will treat it as a legend.
"Ninth South Territory..."
Fang Ping thought a lot in his mind. The caves are indeed connected.
Once upon a time, the language expert said that the outermost periphery of the burrow may be the endless sea, and the outermost part of the land is small grid-shaped areas, which are the burrows that humans see.
In the very center, there is a prosperous continent.
In Fang Ping's opinion, these speculations have a high probability of being correct at this moment.
"Are the Magic City Catacombs and Nanjiang Catacombs far apart?"
"What is the so-called barrier between heaven and earth? A spatial barrier? But since it is one world, why is it so deliberately separated?"
"What is the purpose of opening up a space passage between the catacombs and humans?"
"If there is a central domain, then why don't the powerful people in the central domain open the channel? Or is it that the space nodes are fixed and they can only guide the opening of the channel?"
"Commander Li, have you ever been to the Central Region?"
Fang Ping had another association!
Have these top experts ever been there?
These people are extremely powerful. At least Fang Ping knows from many people that Commander Li of the military department is extremely powerful. He can kill the ninth grade one against three.
If Fang Ping had such strength, would he resist going to the central area to explore?
At least Fang Ping felt that he couldn't help it!
Not to mention the top being among the ninth rank, even the seventh rank, he dares to break into the central area.
If he had gone there, would the higher-ups already know the inside story of the cave?
"Status! Strength!"
Fang Ping muttered in his heart again, relying on guesswork every time, I'm afraid those strong people know better!
This time we return to the ground, no matter what, we must learn more information.
You should also ask if the books he and Qin Fengqing brought back last time have been translated. You can always learn something.
Next, Fang Ping asked for some information about entering the royal city.
Entering the city is actually not complicated. The underground city does not prohibit human beings from communicating with each other. Even if they cut off contact with the demon life lineage, it is only for high-level people. If people at the bottom encounter each other in the wild, they may not fight to the death.
However, the royal city also has an inner city and an outer city. The outer city can be entered, but the inner city is heavily guarded.
As for how to enter the inner city, this third-level warrior has never entered. Only the middle-level warrior in the town has been.
Here, Fang Ping also learned an extremely important message!
The royal city is built on a huge energy mine!
The guardian beast of the city may be the owner of the energy mine back then!
Large-scale energy mines are all renewable mineral deposits. Wangcheng will not kill the goose to obtain the eggs. Mining will not be completed. The most important core parts will not be mined, but only some energy stones on the periphery of the mineral deposits will be used.
Not only the royal city, but also some small cities are actually built on mineral veins!
In other words, one city is actually one mine!
Fang Ping's eyes almost turned green!
This information is really important. Doesn't this mean that if you build a cave city, you can get a large energy mine?
"Commander Li and these people actually didn't destroy the city. What a waste!"
Fang Ping cursed secretly, although he knew that those people had to talk about the overall situation, maybe the source mine was really important.
Warriors use energy mines to practice, which is much more effective than elixirs.
"It's a pity that the strength is still a bit weak. So the Shenliu is not so much the guardian beast of the city, but the guardian of the energy mine. There are people in the cave who can't restrain their greed and steal the energy stone. They are all killed.
Killed and turned into nourishment."
Fang Ping sighed in his heart, and was a little ready to move. Can my energy barrier be concealed from the sky?
Very dangerous!
No, this time I went to the city not for the energy stone, but to get information.
Information about the royal city's army, high-quality information, these are the main things.
As for the others, they are all secondary and incidental.
Fang Ping warned himself again, don't mess around, people will die.
After asking the right questions, Fang Ping looked at the trembling warrior who was kneeling on the ground with a look of compassion. If a cat cries like a mouse, it has to be fake.
After asking, if you are so cooperative, then I can't make it too bloody.
The mental power exploded instantly, directly shattering the opponent's brain tissue.
Fang Ping didn't waste any time, grabbed the body, and quickly left the market town. He ran all the way, found a small forest, and drove away a few low-level monsters to swallow the body.
As for the energy stones that this third-grade man had on his body, Fang Ping accepted them with a smile, but he didn't touch the things at home.
Originally, he wanted to catch someone in the town and ask them, but Fang Ping thought about it and did not go back to the town. Instead, he walked along the outline of the royal city to the other side.
Over there is where Giant Pine City is located, and there are contacts between the two sides.
It would be more appropriate to kill a passing Giant Pine City warrior and pretend to be someone from Giant Pine City, since they are all outsiders anyway.
When the time comes, it would be more appropriate to question the people in Giant Pine City.
Having made up his mind, Fang Ping did not waste any time. Time is precious.
He now activates the energy barrier, and his wealth value is 10,000 per minute, which is 600,000 per hour!
Near the city, Fang Ping did not dare to let down his guard and kept it on all the time. Day and night, that was an expenditure worth tens of millions of wealth!
"If I don't make a fortune this time, I will suffer a big loss!"
"And you can't stay too long, otherwise it will be troublesome if Gao Pin encounters you." Fang Ping had a plan in his mind.
It's not a big problem for him to hide it from ordinary people now, but when he meets a high-level and powerful person... it's hard to say that he can hide it from others.
"Maybe I should pretend to be an ordinary person, but the status of ordinary people is too low, and my movements in the royal city will definitely be restricted."
Various thoughts emerged, and Fang Ping couldn't help but think of other people. What are those people doing now?
Alive or dead?
ps: I went out for a trip, the third update will be later, around ten o'clock...
