If he flies at full strength, the Grandmaster can fly from east to west and from west to east in the ruins.
Regardless of whether you go east or west, in the end it just takes a different amount of time.
But Gu Yuxi naturally has a keen sense of perception. When combined with talent, it is not an exaggeration to call her a goddess.
Or avoid risks, or find opportunities, or wait for time...
There were many factors that even Xu Zhi found difficult to study thoroughly.
Even in the same place, different times may lead to completely different consequences.
If you are not following the remnants, you should follow the direction of Gu Yuxi's auspicious star.
If he had to choose between the two, Xu Zhi would certainly prefer the latter.
This is true even if there is a continuous flow of people moving forward at this time.
This was not the first time to follow the direction of crowd flow. The survivors probably had strong countermeasures on that side, so Xu Zhi thought it would be good to go around.
Continuously traveling through mountains, crossing lakes and rivers, a large city gradually appeared in the distance.
This is the largest city that Xu Zhi has seen in the ruins over the years, and it has a scene similar to that of Riros, the capital of the Xiannong Kingdom.
The city is built around the river. Beyond the huge stone wall that is nearly fifty meters high, there is a rolling river that is nearly a hundred meters wide.
On the continuous city wall, there are arrow towers standing every few hundred meters, stacked one on top of another, and there are hundreds of them in number.
On the arrow tower, figures of crossbows can be seen in the arrow windows everywhere, and guards patrol around the arrow tower from time to time.
If an abnormality is discovered, the gates of this giant city will obviously be raised quickly, and the hard crossbows in the arrow towers will fly out.
With the inertia and continuous shooting ability of the ballista, thousands of arrows will be fired in an instant.
Ordinary cultivators have no chance of forcing their way in. Even great cultivators need to be careful to avoid unnecessary blows and chain troubles.
"Should we sneak in through the city gate, or wait until dark falls from the sky?" Gu Yuxi asked.
After running continuously, Gu Yuxi was vaguely aware of the city now, and seemed to feel some connection between their needs.
Her perceptual abilities are quite similar to the talent of General He Duoqi of the Southern Yunnan Military Region who has a certain probability of discovering important ruins.
At this time, you need to go in and inquire more or make appropriate inquiries.
"They are too familiar with the inner energy brilliance. The darker we enter, the more obvious their whereabouts will be."
Perhaps due to the impact of the war, there are now frequent flows of people passing through the city gate, and there are also guards checking. Xu Zhi also discovered traces of the existence of some small magic circles.
But compared to a sudden landing straight up and down, Xu Zhi felt that sneaking in was more reliable.
However, this investigation mainly requires the assistance of Gu Yuxi, and Xu Zhi is not sure how capable Gu Yuxi is at escaping and whether he can escape safely into the city.
"If I don't use my flying abilities, I need to find a substitute and use their identity to get in," Gu Yuxi said.
Whether it is the moat, the height of the city wall, or even the inspection towers installed everywhere, they are all problems that cannot be overcome.
Only by disguising herself as a normal entrant can she sneak into the city as usual.
"Then go to the nearby farms and take a look."
There are many fertile fields around the moat, and there are also farms, houses, and various places to feed livestock and horses.
At this time, winter had just passed and it was early spring, so there was little farming.
The Remnant Legion is at war with the real world. Many young people have been drafted into the army, and only a group of old people are left on the farm.
Some old farmers set up a stool near the farmhouse, smoking home-grown tobacco and discussing in low voices from time to time.
"It's great to be happy. Another batch of slaves has begun to be distributed. It will be easier for everyone to work in the future."
As the two continued to approach, they saw a yellow gelding running briskly in the distance, and immediately a young man wearing a brown priest's robe beat a gong and sent a message.
"Buy early and use early. Everyone should hurry up. If you go now, you can claim one for free."
His message immediately sparked lively discussions among many old farmers.
From time to time, some people were packing their clothes, and some were going back to the house to get money.
"Speaking of which, although those strangers are dressed in strange ways and have colorful hair, many of them are extremely good-looking. They look better than the people in the city if they dress up a little."
"I want to pick a few that are long and strong. When I earn more money in the future, I can buy more."
"Both of my sons have joined the army, and now I have to use these strangers to work."
"It's not cost-effective for you to do that. I want to choose a few female strangers and give birth to a few more. In the future, my family will become bigger and bigger, and maybe I can even enter the church."
…
The farmers' constant discussion made Xu Zhi frown slightly.
On the side of a big tree, Gu Yuxi had already taken action directly.
The young man who had just been broadcasting the news was knocked unconscious by her slap, and the yellow gelding was subdued.
"This man ran away from that city, and he should be able to run back soon."
Gu Yuxi has extremely high mental power and has begun to manifest spiritual tentacles, but she does not understand the language in the ruins, and many predictions are based on what she sees with her eyes.
At this time, many farmers are preparing to enter the city. There is not much problem in mixing among the farmers, and it can even reduce some attention.
However, it is also suitable to transform into the young man who beats the gong and sends the message. The person wearing a hood is more suitable for disguise.
In addition, farmers will be directed to certain places, and young people on horseback will have more freedom, making it easier to get out early and check around.
"Be quick and agile in your movements. Soon all the good stuff will be picked out."
Xu Zhi chatted with Gu Yuxi for a few words, and then threw the young man's body into the tree.
Gu Yuxi struck the gong, and then Xu Zhi shouted.
A group of farmers immediately followed him, mumbling.
"Let's go and let them follow!"
The young people may also inform other areas, but the two of them don't care. At best, they just want to blend into the city.
Gu Yuxi was riding on the horse, while Xu Zhi was following behind in the shadow of the yellow gelding.
"Little Robert, run fast and pick two good-looking girls for uncle."
"Little Robert, order me two good items, and I'll give you ten more silver coins."
…
The farmers found it difficult to keep up with the pace of the yellow gelding, and after falling behind for more than a hundred meters, they all began to grumble.
This actually made Xu Zhi understand the young man's name.
"Little Robert, your reporting speed is too fast. You are only reporting news about relatives."
Before returning to the city gate, the patrol guard guarding the city gate burst out laughing at Gu Yuxi for fun.
"Hahaha~"
Hiding in the shadows, Xu Zhi responded with a dry laugh.
A few hundred meters away, more than 20 elderly farmers used their wild strength and ran forward panting as hard as they could.
This is very much like the uncles and aunts who rush to buy super discounted products from the store.
But what these people are snapping up right now are people.
Xu Zhi felt quite gloomy for a while.
But at this time, he finally blended into the city.
At this time, there was not much commercial noise in the city, and the sound of casting was heard from many places.
Even on the street, you can see many people constantly pulling the bellows to blow the fire of the foundry furnace bigger.
There are also middle-aged men in the real world.
At this time, these people's legs, feet and hands were wrapped in chains, and they seemed to have regained consciousness even when their minds were sluggish.
But these people had no power to resist, and only fear and helplessness appeared on their faces.
If the bellows were pulled slower, they would receive a severe whip from the apprentice smelter.
Just like animals, as long as they can keep forging weapons, these people don't care about the lives of strangers.
There are many beaten dead people on the streets. The corpses are piled nearby like garbage. If they are collected too much, they will be taken away by the vehicles transporting the corpses.
Some people drove carriages to collect the forged weapons from the blacksmith shop, which in turn caused several dissatisfied curses from the craftsmen, and was accompanied by more urging sounds of whipping from the apprentices.
"It's a dark world!"
Gu Yuxi had some faint anger on her face as she entangled the yellow gelding near the stable.
"The fight for survival is life or death. They are just trying to squeeze everything they can."
Xu Zhi replied in a low voice.
Except for Dongyue Shang, who still treats the elves under control peacefully, other countries have switched to a hard attitude and killed all the remaining people they saw.
Whether they are killed or become slaves and squeeze them to the last drop of blood depends on their location and social progress.
But neither party leaves any room for action, which also means that there is no room for action.
