"Brother, are we just wandering around aimlessly like this?" Young man Lu Su didn't know what it was like to feel sad. He was very excited to leave the camp in the rain.
"What, do you have any good ideas?" Zhao Feng deliberately teased Lu Su. He knew that Lu Su had been completely captured by Cai Yan.
"Brother, Zhao Ji likes the scenery in the south. Should we go around the lake and go south?"
"We can't go south yet. We don't understand what happened in Lijiacun and the situation here. Walking around at will may lead to death for us."
Zhao Feng explained his intention, and Xu Huang naturally had no objection. Lu Su and Cai Yan thought about it and agreed. So the four of them walked northeast in the rain while admiring this foreign land.
scenery.
The four of them have different ways of sheltering from the rain. Zhao Feng's own strength has reached the late stage of the Earth Stage and is about to reach the level of Great Perfection. Although the Gang Qi he possesses cannot resist damage, it has no problem blocking rain.
Xu Huang has achieved some success in cultivating Tiangang's fighting energy. Coupled with his understanding of martial arts, he can condense the Tiangang's energy together. This guy was ingenious and covered his head with the Condensing Gang Shield, forming a special shield.
Lu Su and Cai Yan have the most special way of sheltering from the rain. Because the swordsmanship skills practiced by the two people can complement each other, a yet-to-be-formed sword energy is formed between the two people, which can block the rain. The two people regard walking in the rain as
It's a good opportunity to practice swordsmanship.
This time, the place Zhao Feng is going to is a town in the northeast of the plateau where human beings gather.
This open plateau is vast in area. Zhao Feng carefully looked at the map Feng Yin observed. This area suitable for growing crops covers an area of millions of acres. The farther south, the terrain becomes flatter and wider.
Feng Yin didn't have a clear idea of how big it was.
Lijiacun is located directly north of the plateau area, close to an unknown mine that stretches for an unknown amount of time. Most of the areas controlled by Wujiacun and other strange people are concentrated in the north and northwest of the plateau.
However, the areas suitable for planting are almost all concentrated in Lijiacun and other hundreds of villages.
In this area, the soil is fertile and the climate is suitable. Coupled with the unique climate of this generation, the food crops and fruits produced here are very delicious, especially in the northeast, Lijia Village and other five villages jointly managed by the demon clan.
Sixty thousand acres of land even produces a rare fruit - Scarlet Flame Red Plum.
This kind of plum is very strange. When it is fully mature, its surface will burn with crimson flames. This is a very rare fire-attribute fruit, which has medicinal properties that can improve the qualifications of fire-attribute warriors.
It is also used as a medicinal material and has endless magical uses. This fruit is the main commodity used by the demon clan to trade with the demon world.
What is even more peculiar is that this fruit grows on a black plum tree that is thousands of years old. This strange tree is hundreds of feet tall and has lush branches and leaves.
in position.
Except for the branches in this direction that will bear crimson red plums, the plums in other directions are still green plums or black plums, but the quality is far a hundred times better than ordinary plums.
Originally, this huge black plum tree that covered the sky and the sun was the treasure of the demon clan. In order to obtain this treasure tree, the first monarch of the Yan Kingdom for three generations in a row spared no effort in expending manpower and material resources and launched a protracted war to destroy the demon clan.
Force back.
Among them, during the hundreds of years of fierce fighting, Lijiacun and other families contributed a lot, so the original Emperor of Yan agreed to entrust the northern territory to the Li family, the Wang family, the Wu family, and other meritorious clans.
Since the titles of the Yan Kingdom are not hereditary, but are reduced by one rank each generation, for example, if the descendants of the prince have not made meritorious service, they can only inherit the throne. If they continue to inherit, they will become county kings, dukes, marquises, earls, etc.
And so on, when he finally reaches the county male and county head level, he will no longer continue to be reduced to a commoner.
Elder Li of Lijia Village, Chief Wu of Wujia Village, etc. This is the situation in each village. Without enough titles, the number of titles will continue to decrease.
By the time of Elder Li's grandfather, in order to prevent the north from being completely controlled by the Emperor of Yan, various families and villages united and spontaneously organized an alliance.
This alliance even repulsed multiple attacks by the invading demon clan. So the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom turned a blind eye and allowed millions of acres of land on the northern border to be controlled by various families and villages.
It's just that the emperor of the Yan Kingdom was also very good at calculating. In order to avoid the rise of various families and villages again, he gave this method of waiting for enfeoffment a reason for the princes to pay tribute.
Only by paying full tributes can each family and village continue to maintain its actual rule. Otherwise, the Yan State will send a large army to replace each family and village to maintain the rule of the Yan State in the north.
Each family and village maintained a peaceful situation with the Yan Kingdom. However, the currently reigning emperor wanted to change this situation, so he sent guards like Zou Jing to gradually erode the power of the north.
The demon clan was unwilling to lose the precious tree that they had controlled for thousands of years, and constantly provoked wars. In the end, humans and the demon clan divided their territories with the treasure tree, and both parties jointly took charge of this strange tree.
When the branches in the northeast bear fruit, the monsters take 70% of the profit, and the humans take 30%. When the branches in the southwest bear fruit, humans take 70%, and the monsters take 30%.
This year is the most special year because the demon king, the Minotaur, broke the seal. Human beings and the upper echelons of the demon clan concluded that this strange tree was about to become the food of the Minotaur, so they constantly sent people to strengthen the protection of the strange tree.
Zhao Feng led Lu Su, Cai Yan, and Xu Huang toward the town where Qishu was located, not worried about this matter at all.
Fusion with Feng Yin made him know one thing. The Minotaur will not come to eat the strange tree, because the Minotaur is a demon king with water attributes, and the crimson plum blossoms are in conflict with his attributes, just like poison.
, eating it will make you lose more than you gain.
"When you two are tired, go to the car and rest!"
After walking for a while, Zhao Feng felt that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, so Lu Su and Cai Yan, who were gradually unable to bear it, returned to the car to rest.
"Brother, Third Brother and Zhao Ji take a rest and continue practicing later!"
Zhao Feng knew very well that haste makes waste. Along the way, in addition to giving guidance to the three of them, he always kept them within their limits.
"You go ahead!"
Zhao Feng waited for Xu Huang to come back, sat on the shaft of the carriage, and kept looking up at the sky.
"Strange, what is in the sky of this Demon Yuan Realm?"
Zhao Feng couldn't fly into the sky, so even if he was curious about the sky, there was nothing he could do.
After waiting for about half an hour, Xu Huang finally came back.
"Lord, I have made it clear that it takes at least a month to walk from our place to Erxian City where Qishu is located."
"So long?" Zhao Feng didn't expect to have to go for such a long time: "What is the name of this place?"
"Ahead is Shuangqi Town. I encountered a very interesting thing in the town."
