A towering mountain range rises abruptly, isolating the northern wasteland from Zhongzhou. It is said that this is a barrier specially set up by God to protect the people of Zhongzhou. Compared with the majestic Juming Mountain, this mountain range of only more than 2,000 miles is more
Tall and steep, with countless cliffs blocking the monster beasts' intention to attack Zhongzhou, this is the Hemeng Mountain Range.
Hemeng Mountain is a name that sounds very beautiful, but it is an insurmountable barrier in front of people. Even cranes who are good at flying high have to leave their dreams here. This barrier protects countless people.
People in Zhongzhou, unlike Mingshan Mountain, have more snow-capped mountains in Hemeng Mountain. The melted snow water pours down the valley, forming raging streams and elegant waterfalls on both sides of the mountain.
Zhanyunguan Pass, the only pass in the Hemeng Mountains, is an important military town guarding the north of Zhongzhou. Together with Changfeng City, which is located in the famous mountain, it has become a twin town in the north. Compared with Changfeng City, Zhanyunguan Pass has a stronger military flavor.
The number of civilians here is very small. In addition to the family members of the army, there are only some guys from the chamber of commerce and warriors from the hunting team. The location of Zhanyunguan is in the northernmost part of Zhongzhou. It is impossible to cultivate food here. Most of the supplies are all
Relying on transit stations thousands of miles away for transportation.
Looking at the mountains hidden in the clouds and mist, the pace of the team reinforcing Zhanyunguan slowed down significantly, and the path under their feet also began to slowly rise. Starting from the rear, the road began to go all the way up. According to the people behind it,
It is said that Zhanyunguan Pass is five hundred feet higher than here. This height is enough to make this 30-mile journey have steep slopes in many places.
After nearly a day of trekking, towards the evening, the speed of this small team was obviously accelerated. Jin Ruofeng looked up and saw that Zhanyunguan Pass was hidden in the majestic mountains in front of him. The word "hidden" was used very accurately, although it had been earlier
I knew a little bit about Zhanyunguan Pass, but after seeing it for real, I was still amazed that this pass deserves to be the best in the world!
The tall city wall is hundreds of feet high. It is all made of extremely strong boulders from Hemeng Mountain. There is no gap for climbing. On top of the city wall, several golden shadows are soaring above it. Look.
It looks like the messengers are training.
The city gate of Zhanyunguan is five feet high and still looks so small in the huge city wall. It is also the only entrance and exit of Zhanyunguan.
A whole team of 100 people stood at the gate of the city. Judging from the marks on their armor, almost none were lower than the second-level warriors. All of them were fourth-level warriors, and their captain's strength had reached at least the low-level.
War warriors. Behind the centurion, there is a heavy armored cavalry waiting in full formation. This is no ordinary cavalry. It is the most courageous rhinoceros beast heavy cavalry. It is just that ordinary cavalry guns are carefully crafted with talismans.
arms.
There are several strong bunkers near the city gate, and bursts of pressure can be heard from each bunker. It is obvious that some powerful trained monsters are imprisoned inside.
After passing through the tunnel-like doorway, mixed sounds immediately hit his face. After entering Zhanyun Pass, Jin Ruofeng discovered that this place was not only a pass, but also an important town. If it weren't for the people walking around him, almost all of them were in military uniforms.
As a soldier, he must have thought that this was a business district in Shangjing City, where the sounds of sales soliciting customers could be heard all the time.
"Lin Mu, didn't you say that there aren't many civilians in Zhanyunguan Pass?" Jin Ruofeng was a little confused.
"There are not many civilians, but have you seen that, those people are all warriors!" Ye Qing seemed to have been here before. He pointed to the shop nearby and said, "That tavern is where almost all the people who enter Zhanyunguan pass go.
The first place where people stay, let alone warriors, even high-level warriors can be encountered at any time!"
"So powerful?" Lin Mu looked at the crowd around him dumbfounded, "Uncle Junior, the defense here is so strong, why do we still need to come here?"
Not only Lin Mu, but also Jin Ruofeng had this question. The entire elite team also had this question after seeing the sight of a second-level martial arts warrior acting as a shop assistant.
"These people are all members of the Chamber of Commerce or the hunting team. They can listen or not listen to the emperor's orders, unless they are forced to recruit them. However, the price is indeed not small. The people in the Five University Hall are our own people after all, so use them
It’s also convenient!”
After passing through two more city walls, everyone discovered that this is the real Zhanyun Pass. A dozen towering stone towers are located around it, stretching for more than ten miles. This is a spectacular sight. This is the last defense method to protect Zhanyun Pass.
Crystal towers, these crystal towers have existed for thousands of years. They are sharp weapons given to people by God. Countless symbols are engraved on the crystal towers. They are the treasure trove of symbol masters in the world. The symbol masters association is also the most important in all industries.
The only one that will always be set up at Zhanyun Pass.
In the center of these stone towers is a huge square. A seemingly ordinary piece of bluestone more than two feet wide is engraved with the characters "Hemeng Mountain Zhanyunguan". Almost everyone who arrives at Zhanyunguan is in awe.
I want to come and pay my respects,
It is said that this stone tablet is the handwriting left by the sixth emperor of Zhongzhou, but what attracts everyone is not the handwriting of a celebrity, but the six sacred stones embedded in this bluestone. The huge sacred stones maintain the operation of these crystal towers.
They were all teams responsible for reinforcing Zhanyunguan Pass. After arriving here, their treatment immediately changed dramatically. The vanguard team was immediately escorted to a school field by special personnel, ready to obey the orders of the Zhanyunguan Gate Guards Office, while the elite team was disbanded on the spot.
, you have a half-day break, and you just need to gather at the scheduled location the next day.
The team of several hundred people dispersed in a hurry and merged into the bustling crowd of Zhanyunguan Pass. Everyone knew that although Zhanyunguan Pass was dangerous and difficult, it was a famous gathering place for wealth. Everyone more or less brought some personal information with them.
He came here with a purpose, otherwise he would not risk his life and rush to die.
Zhanyun Pass was already considered a safe area, and Ye Qing felt more at ease with Jin Ruofeng and the others. He allowed them to wander around, and he himself also needed to take care of some things. If he didn't find some benefits for himself when he got here, he would really be at a disadvantage.
Zifeng Pavilion is well-known in Zhanyunguan. Anyway, Shi Mang asked someone casually and the other party gave the accurate location.
Lin Mu can be considered a person who has seen the world in Shangjing City. When the three people stood in front of and behind the door of Zifeng Pavilion, they couldn't help but be shocked by each other's arrogance. The wealthy families in Shangjing City can decorate two exquisite monsters at the door of their homes.
Forget about the sculptures, there are actually two monster beasts in front of the gate of Zifeng Pavilion, although they are already dead.
The skeleton of the opponent, but being able to place Jagged Raymond here obviously shows that the opponent has the strength to take down this ninth-grade monster. The key is that the opponent has not even taken off the monster core. This is a blatant show of wealth. You know
Jagged Raymond's demon core must be calculated using high-grade spiritual stones in Shangjing City, and they are still expensive but not commercially available.
"Are they really not afraid of stealing?" Shi Mang shook his head slightly. Not to mention the demon core, he just took a piece of bone and sold it to the blacksmith. This kind of thing with the natural thunder element can easily forge the best equipment.
"I guess the background is so big that no one dares, right?" Lin Mu glanced around secretly and found that Zifeng Pavilion actually used warrior warriors as welcome guests!
"Welcome to Zifeng Pavilion. Are you shopping, resting or submitting tasks?"
"Meet a friend!" Lin Mu looked around the lobby of Zifeng Pavilion and said.
Although the other party was a warrior, Lin Mu did not show any surprise. This kind of atmosphere was something that Jin Ruofeng and others could not show. The other party was also well-informed and immediately saw that Lin Mu had a good background. Although he was in Zhanyun
Guan can catch a lot of those who use fourth-level martial arts warriors as guards, but the two little guys in front of him are probably not even second-level martial arts warriors. They are obviously the children of a certain aristocratic family.
"Does your friend have a reservation?"
"Reservation?" Lin Mu frowned, "There should be, he called Lu Kanglai or **!"
The warrior waiter laughed a few times when he heard this: "Are you Mr. Lin, Mr. Jin and Mr. Shi? The young master has already told us. As soon as you arrive, send him a message!"
Obviously Lu Kanglai is a frequent customer of this restaurant, or this place is owned by the Lu family.
Not long after the three people were invited to a VIP room, they heard Lu Kanglai's hearty laughter coming from outside. Soon, Lu Kanglai and his wife, dressed in military uniforms, walked in quickly.
"Are you okay?" Lu Kanglai took off the helmet on his head, nodded to a few people, and then ran to Jin Ruofeng specifically, "We thought we would never see you again!"
"I am blessed with great fortune!" Jin Ruofeng also laughed.
"Old Lu, what happened at Zhanyunguan Pass?" Lin Mu saw a trace of blood on the armors of the two men and knew that a battle had just occurred.
Lu Kanglai sat directly on the chair, and then drank the teapot in his hand in one breath, "Forget it, I don't understand the specifics. The connection between Iron Guard City and Zhanyunguan Pass has been completely interrupted. This has never happened before."
This has never happened before. The most important thing for Zhanyunguan now is to open the passage to Iron Guard City!"
Lin Mu and Jin Ruofeng looked at each other. If Lu Kanglai knew the reason, he would definitely tell them. Now that even Lu Kanglai doesn't know, there are only two possibilities. The top management of Zhanyunguan suppressed the news. The second one is that Zhanyunguan is indeed
I don’t know what happened in the Iron Acropolis. Judging from the current situation, the second one is more likely.
"By the way, what are you doing with us? Isn't it just catching up on old times?" Lin Mu asked.
"Of course not!" ** said on the side, "This time the emperor has issued a recruitment order, but the specific tasks still need to be issued by Zhanyunguan, so Lu Kang came to you to tell you that once the order is issued,
After that, don’t go out to fight!"
"Why?" Jin Ruofeng was a little surprised.
"Don't ask why, after the order is issued, you will be immediately sent to the North City of Zhanyunguan, and from there to the Iron Guard City. If you take the opportunity to slip out, Lu Kanglai will send people to protect you!" **Look at Lu Kanglai, and then
He said, "Don't make this matter public, not even the junior uncle can talk about it!"
Although several people still have some doubts in their hearts, Lin Mu knows that Lu Kanglai will not harm him, and the recruitment order issued by the emperor this time is unusual. There are so many hunting teams here in Zhanyunguan, as long as a high reward is offered, the reason why Iron Guard City lost contact
It should be possible to find out quickly why there is still no movement at Zhanyunguan Pass after such a long time.
"By the way, I'll change my clothes later and walk around Zhanyunguan Pass with you!" Lu Kanglai seemed to have something to do.
