Along the way, there are some shops and some residences on both sides of the stone path.
The shops sell everything, including clothes, weapons, medicinal materials...
There are also some stalls similar to carriage shops, with some monsters that are similar in length to horses staying outside. In fact, to Fang Ping, they are horses.
However, his Qi and blood are not strong, so he may not have reached the first-level realm yet.
These monsters are not actually monsters.
These carriages are only suitable for use inside the city. The willow tree demon is in the royal city. The willow tree demon does not emit aura suppression within the city, but it does suppress aura outside the city.
Therefore, the carriage can be used in the city. Once outside the city, if you feel the power of the blood of these horses, monsters will soon attack you.
Fang Ping continued to move forward, and the further he went, the more people there were.
After walking several thousand meters, the buildings in front suddenly disappeared, and a large, empty square appeared!
There are no buildings, but there are many people.
Fang Ping saw some people carrying goods in front of him find an open space and casually threw the goods on the ground without shouting. Soon buyers came forward to check.
"A market?"
Fang Ping roughly judged the purpose of this large square and couldn't help but pat Lao Li behind him.
It’s really time to go to the vegetable market!
This is not an ordinary vegetable market. The buyers and sellers here are almost all warriors.
The goods for sale are of all kinds.
There are demon beast corpses, demon beast hearts, and some things that look similar to branches, but are actually the roots and leaves of demon plants, and they also have strong energy fluctuations.
Fang Ping also saw some familiar medicinal materials, all of which were rich in energy.
I didn't see the energy stone.
In the caves, energy stones are the main training resources for cave warriors. They are rarely sold to outsiders. Even if they are sold, they are bartered.
Raw ores of rare metals are not uncommon here.
Fang Ping even recognized what some metals were. Fang Ping also knew the ratio of raw materials for alloy materials.
Some of them are even metals that must be used in Grade A alloys.
While Fang Ping was looking around, a middle-aged man who looked like a buyer came over and asked, "What are you selling?"
Fang Ping saw him staring at the animal skin package behind him, remained silent, and ignored him.
If Lao Li is sold, Lao Li will be stewed, right?
Seeing that Fang Ping didn't answer, the other party frowned slightly and didn't bother. This was a trading place for warriors from surrounding towns, and there was no shortage of Fang Ping. He just saw that he was wearing a third-grade medal and thought it was something good, so he asked.
Fang Ping didn't stand around all the time, and randomly checked some goods along the way. There were some things that he actually wanted to grab.
The warriors here are not considered strong, even if they are in the third level, they are not weak, and there are very few in the middle level.
But there are still good things. Rare metals and the main ingredients of various elixirs can be found everywhere.
As for the transaction method... Fang Ping saw someone using energy stone crystals to trade.
Energy stone crystals may be waste, but they can be circulated as coins and will naturally be given a corresponding value. As long as the royal city recognizes them, then this thing is valuable.
However, this is not always the case. There are also people who use energy stones that have not been consumed to trade, but generally for those slightly valuable items.
The energy stone, also known as the life stone among the people in the cave, is not only their main resource for cultivation, but also the main currency for daily transactions.
Fang Ping's ears were trembling as he walked, paying attention to the exchanges between some warriors.
As the time he spent dealing with the cave people grew longer, he often listened to their conversations. Over time, he could guess the meaning of some words. Unlike other caves, the warriors encountered people who could only distinguish between life and death.
When cave warriors meet humans, they have very few opportunities to talk.
In the newly opened crypt, and it was still within the royal city, these warriors hardly paid much attention to the affairs of human warriors.
"I heard that the royal city is recruiting troops!"
"Recruiting troops? Are you going to start a war with Chalk City?"
"No, it's a strong man from a foreign land! I happened to overhear the conversation between two adults in the inner city this morning. I heard that there are strong men from a foreign land coming, and the war will begin soon."
"There are tens of thousands of troops in the royal city, and there are giant willow guards. Do you need to be afraid of people from foreign lands?"
"You don't know. Don't tell others. I heard that the giant willow guards suffered heavy losses yesterday. Of the three thousand giant willow guards, thousands of people died yesterday!"
"So many? How is it possible! The lowest level of divine guards is level four, right? There are also many generals..."
"Really, yesterday we were encircling and suppressing the strong men from foreign lands. I heard that all the strong men coming from foreign lands were warriors and above. The divine guards rushed to the front. Except for a few peripheral generals, all the other generals were killed!"
"Are foreigners so powerful?"
"I heard that they are very powerful, and they don't even risk their lives. A dozen generals have killed dozens of divine guards, and even some of the recruited family and sect generals are almost dead..."
"Then can we beat them?"
"..."
This is not the only thing that is being discussed. There are many people who know about the recruitment of troops in the royal city at this moment.
People in the surrounding towns may not know about the huge losses yesterday, but no one in the royal city knows.
There were countless casualties among the generals, 4 of the commanders were killed, and even the venerables were killed.
Even King Liu cannot hide such a major event.
These strong men also have relatives and families.
The three thousand Giant Willow Divine Guards are also the core strength of the Giant Willow City that amazes everyone, that is, the three thousand middle-grade strong men.
Unlike Tianmen City, Tianmen City has been at war with humans for many years, and its army has expanded to hundreds of thousands.
Here in Juliu City, there was no war before. Except for the core legions like the Juliu Divine Guards, the ordinary army was less than 50,000 people.
Yesterday, although there were only a few people like Old Man Li, they killed a lot of powerful people.
In the end, when Old Man Li killed the eighth-level warrior, his sword radiated with radiance. Almost all the middle-level warriors on the periphery were beheaded, and even the commanders were unable to react.
Fang Ping listened and gradually made a judgment in his heart.
"There are 3,000 mid-level warriors and an army of 50,000 lower-level and third-level warriors. No, there may only be 2,000 mid-level warriors now.
Even if there is one middle-grade general among the 50,000 low-grade people, there are probably less than 3,000 middle-grade strong men in Juliu City now.
A lot of people in the sixth rank died in the battle yesterday, and now there are only 50 people left in the army who are dying.
The commander is the seventh grade, and four of them were killed in the battle yesterday. Governor Zhang and these people are quite cruel."
Fang Ping was a little surprised to hear that four commander-level experts had died yesterday.
Yesterday, he rushed to the sky and took a glance. There seemed to be 7 people left on the other side. In other words, after he left, the other side had killed two more people.
You must know that Zhou Zhengyang was dead at the time, and Zhang Dingnan and Principal Nanwu were all seriously injured. Under such circumstances, two more were killed, which was somewhat unexpected.
I'm afraid that Juliu City is not used to the human method of fighting to the death. Even if they die, they have to drag away a few. This is the habit of human beings fighting in caves for so many years.
Juliu City had been fighting against Chalk City for many years before this, but in Fang Ping's opinion, it was just a small fight.
The two sides heard that they have been fighting for hundreds of years, and none of their leaders seems to have died. Is this also called an endless war?
However, there are now more than 5 seventh-grade people left in Juliu City. Yesterday, there were still a few people who did not go out to fight, but stayed behind in Juliu City.
Fang Ping didn't know the exact number, but it was only about 10 at most.
There are really only two left at the eighth level.
"One person for the ninth grade, two for the eighth grade, about 10 for the seventh grade, and 100 people for the sixth grade inside and outside the city plus civilians.
The total number of middle-grade warriors in the city may exceed 5,000."
Such strength is actually much weaker than Tianmen City before the loss.
Before the two eighth-grade soldiers died, Tianmen City's high-end combat power was similar to that of Juliu City, but Tianmen City's army was 200,000!
Among them, there are at least nearly 10,000 middle-grade ones!
"If there are no reinforcements in Juliu City, it is actually not difficult to capture a stronghold. You don't need to come to the ninth level, just a few eighth-level soldiers, and it will be no problem to capture a stronghold."
"However, it seems that Giant Pine City has already provided support. If there is no support from Grade 9, it will be difficult to establish a stronghold."
As for the giant tree in the city, Fang Ping didn't pay much attention.
Looking at its size, you can tell that it is not easy to move. Moreover, this giant willow tree has never left the city. I am afraid it is not suitable for attacking. The defense is quite good.
"There seems to be a big tree in Tianmen City. Is it also a tree demon? It should be, but it hasn't come out in these years. It seems that it is really difficult to move."
Thinking about this, Fang Ping felt a little emotional, saying that Juliu City didn't seem to be strong.
But don’t forget, this is just one cave and one city!
How many royal cities are there in Nanjiang Catacombs?
Fang Ping doesn't know yet, but according to past experience, a catacomb can have as few as ten cities or as many as twenty cities. Over in the Kyoto catacombs, there are 20 cities.
Of course, that was before, and now there are two less cities on the Kyoto Catacombs side. The war that year, although it failed to destroy the Kyoto Catacombs, it also wiped out the two cities.
"Kyoto underground caves, two cities were destroyed..."
Fang Ping suddenly realized something, a royal city and an energy mine!
The government probably has a lot of energy ore reserves!
Although we suffered heavy losses back then, how could we not gain anything at all after destroying two cities?
The emergence of so many grandmasters in recent years may not have anything to do with this battle.
"Mowu has a long way to go. Let alone a cave, even a city is difficult to contend with. There are more than a dozen high-level experts, and Mowu is still far behind.
There are only about twenty people in the sixth grade of Mowu, which is not a small gap.
For those of the fourth and fifth grades, Mowu has less than 400 people, and Juliu City has at least ten times as many people as Mowu!"
Fang Ping shook his head. One school and one cave. It sounds simple, but it is too difficult to do.
Now that Mowu has gathered the strength of the entire school, even if it faces Tianmen City, which has already suffered heavy losses, the chances of winning are slim, and the probability of the entire army being annihilated is even greater.
Tianmen City also has a ninth-grade expert, an eighth-grade expert, and several seventh-grade experts.
"I wonder if Mr. Liu is still alive? If he dies in the battle, his magic strength will decline again."
People are all selfish, and they are all divided into far and near.
Fang Ping may not feel too uncomfortable if the other powerful masters who entered this time have died, but it would be really uncomfortable if Liu Polu died.
Just like other sixth-level experts who died in battle, although Fang Ping was quite sad at the time, when it came time to actually save people, he only took the risk to save Li Changsheng.
After thinking wildly for a while, Fang Ping continued to wander around while also distractedly listening to the discussions of these cave warriors.
Some people also talked about the opening of the Fountain of Life.
However, many of the warriors here are from surrounding towns or other royal cities.
They are not qualified to get close to the Fountain of Life, which is located at the core of the inner city.
However, when the Fountain of Life is open, a large amount of energy spills out. Even in the outer city, the energy concentration will increase a lot. Juliu City does not prohibit warriors from entering the outer city. When the Fountain of Life is open, they can also take the opportunity to practice.
However, the effect is average, better than nothing.
"Inner city?"
Fang Ping exhaled slightly, it was not easy to enter.
The inner city, as people say, is a bit difficult to enter, and not everyone can enter it.
With some regret, Fang Ping left the square.
There were a lot of things here, and after snatching them all, Fang Ping felt that it would not be difficult to sell them for five to six hundred million.
But if you rob this place, it may be difficult to escape from Juliu City.
Continuing to walk along the square, Fang Ping memorized the locations of some shops along the way. He did not memorize the ordinary shops, but memorized a few places with extremely rich energy!
There, it is equivalent to a human bank!
Human banks store gold and coins.
And here, there are energy stones.
In the royal city, there is a service where you can choose to exchange energy stones with low concentration into energy stones that can be cultivated. Of course, the exchange ratio is scary.
In the caves, energy stones with low concentration are actually not uncommon. Some small veins are almost all energy stones with low concentration.
Monsters don’t pay much attention to it, and neither do the strong men in the cave.
And these are the energy stones that most cave dwellers can obtain.
They can open mines and bring this to the royal city in exchange for high-concentration energy stones for cultivation. However, these low-concentration energy stones are collected in the caves. Fang Ping doesn't know if they can be purified or used for other purposes.
In the royal city, there are many such shops responsible for exchange, and Fang Ping saw several of them.
Although he didn't understand the cave text, he saw someone entering with a lot of low-concentration energy stones and quickly replaced them with high-concentration ones.
If you think about it, you can guess the role of these stores.
"But it's not easy to grab. Almost all of them are at the sixth level."
Fang Ping sighed, but there were also one or two families who did not have sixth-grade warriors in charge, but fifth-grade warriors, so they could make some plans.
Juliu City is very big, and Fang Ping walked for almost an hour without even reaching the boundary between the inner and outer city.
As for that giant tree, the further we walked, the more we discovered that we had underestimated its height before.
More than a hundred meters!
It's not like Fang Ping has never seen high-rise buildings in the city, some of which are five or six hundred meters high. Although there are many high-rise buildings in the city, they are not very conspicuous if you don't look closely.
But the giant tree was still dazzling even though it was so far away. Fang Ping guessed that it might really be four to five hundred meters high.
"So tall and thick, how much energy does it absorb! Such a tree, if brought back to Mowu, would probably be able to suck up all the energy particles in the city. But if it doesn't absorb energy, but spits out energy... tsk tsk,
That magical city has also become a holy place for cultivation."
"And it's hard to say that when plants become refined, they may not always absorb energy. Otherwise, Giant Willow City would have been sucked out long ago. When it reaches a certain level, if the energy is not lost and the level is not improved, it may not necessarily need to absorb energy.
Already.
Otherwise, there would be no fountain of life left, and it would have been sucked by the tree demon long ago."
Fang Ping stared at the tall tree with burning eyes. For a moment, Fang Ping actually considered cutting it down and taking it back.
That crystal clear tree trunk is probably a good thing whether it is used as a weapon material or a training material.
Is the toughness of Grade A alloy really comparable to the toughness of a tree trunk?
No, maybe the creation of magic weapons has something to do with these materials. Magic weapons are good things.
That golden blood also contains countless energy, and when used as the raw material for elixirs, it can probably be used to make countless elixirs.
"If this tree is cut down, Mowu may be able to produce thousands of mid-level products, or even a group of masters!"
However, even if it is cut down, it may not be possible to bring it back as a whole. It is too big and the passage may not be able to accommodate it.
"If my storage space is several thousand cubic meters, I can really take it back with me, but if I cut it... I'm afraid I won't be able to cut it without magic weapons."
Fang Ping murmured in his heart for a while, and began to observe carefully. He found an inn to stay in and couldn't wander around like this.
If you stay here, you might be able to dig the ground yourself.
On the ground, he did not dare to act rashly.
But when you get underground, your aura disappears... You can't take Lao Li with you, otherwise you'll be easily noticed.
Once the breath is collected, it is relatively safe underground as long as no big noise is made.
After searching for a while, Fang Ping saw a place that looked like an inn. He stood opposite and listened for a while. After having an idea, Fang Ping walked over.
Soon, Fang Ping obtained the right to live in a small courtyard with a relatively beautiful environment at the price of 10 energy crystals.
Two days!
In the middle of the process, Fang Ping used his mental power to show the energy fluctuations of a third-level peak warrior, and combined with the fountain of life, he immediately opened it. The owner of the inn was very understanding. Fang Ping said hoarsely, "No interruption," and the other party nodded hurriedly.
This is a strong man who is preparing to attack the fourth level. He came here specially to break through the level with the opening of the fountain of life.
If you are interrupted because of the inn, there will be trouble. Although the people who come to the inn to pass the test are not people with a big background, it is better to do less than to do more.
…
Under the leadership of an ordinary cave human, Fang Ping entered the small courtyard, closed the courtyard door directly, and entered the room.
"Old Li Tou, we've gathered enough information, it's time to get down to business!"
Fang Ping said it was natural, the information was probably clear.
We have approximate data on the number of people in the seventh grade and the middle grade, and the gains are not small.
As for the others, Fang Ping felt that there was no need to investigate. Anyway, the most urgent task was to establish a stronghold and he would check again when he had time.
Business, of course, is about the fountain of life.
In addition, he also knew seven or eight of the locations of energy stone exchange shops. That was enough, and any more would be of no use.
Now here, tens of millions of wealth are consumed every day, and Fang Ping is also heartbroken.
"Qin Fengqing and the others have grabbed a large piece of energy stone, but I haven't gained anything yet. I can't gain less than them, right? Otherwise, even if I go back, I will be laughed at."
"I'll go down to the ground to investigate first, then I'll leave you here. You'll be happy for yourself. If someone discovers you while I'm away, and you are taken away and roasted, you can't blame me..."
Fang Ping muttered, looking a little helpless. The energy barrier was only useful to him. If he took Lao Li underground, he might be easily discovered by others.
Warriors' senses are very keen. Once they reach a high level, once their mental power is scanned, Lao Li will soon be discovered.
Li Changsheng didn't have an attack this time. Going underground to explore was not that safe.
In particular, there is an energy mine underground, and there is no way there is no precautions in the cave. If it was really that stupid, it would have been hollowed out long ago.
