Chapter 144, North of Youzhou
The six people sent by the Zeng family to meet him were divided into five men and one woman, and they all looked middle-aged. But each of them was calm and even the energy of heaven and earth around their bodies did not seem restless, but became more peaceful.
Pan Long just saw that these people were moving from the innate realm to the return to nature, and the degree of separation of true qi was not low.
Among them, the one with the highest cultivation level is the woman with slightly gray hair. In her case, if she can get a Four-Symbol Return to Truth Pill, she should be able to return to the essence now, and there is a great hope of success.
(The Zeng family is indeed a famous family in Youzhou. With just one stroke, you can get the six innate peaks.)
(No wonder they never gave up their plan to provoke a war... For example, these six innate peaks are all expected to return to the real world. With the Zeng family's mentality of raising war with war, as long as they fight a big battle, at least one or two of them will successfully break through and return to nature.)
(For these old martial arts world, benevolence, righteousness, morality, money and reputation are not as reliable as their own strength. Not to mention that innate masters only have a lifespan of 120 years, but real people often have 240 or 50 years or even more... From this perspective, the choice of the Zeng family is indeed the most in line with their interests.)
(But they only care about their own interests, but never thought about the interests of others. Their Zeng family could gain benefits through war and continue to grow and grow, but the people in the Northeast are so innocent!)
(Although the Zeng family has escaped from the Demon Sect, they are still people in the Demonic Way in their hearts!)
He frowned, closed his eyes, and weakened his spiritual consciousness as much as possible to avoid being discovered by the Zeng family's masters.
Although the stealth skill is powerful, if you practice martial arts above the soul, some people will have superpowers due to changes in souls. Although they are warriors, they have the same abilities as magicians. This situation is rare, but not without them.
The craftsman is not as durable as the warrior in terms of tough battles, but the strangeness is far above the warrior. Not only can it be an outstanding auxiliary, but if you are well prepared, it is not difficult to kill the warrior at a higher level.
Pan Long was not sure that his stealth skills would definitely deceive those skilled craftsmen - at least he was sure that not to mention the immortals, even Ren Changsheng, who had not cultivated into immortals and Buddhas, could see through the stealth.
He had an experiment with Ren Changsheng at the time. Ren Changsheng, who was still the "Qionglai Sword" rather than the "Suishan Sword Saint", could not see Pan Long clearly after stealth, but he could clearly feel the position of Pan Long after stealth.
His own explanation is, "How can you not feel that such a big living person is right next to you?", "Your soul is very strong. Anyone who can sense it with his soul should be able to feel you."
Pan Long didn't know if any of the six innate masters of the Zeng family had expertise in souls, so it would be better to be cautious.
Keeping a distance and sensing it from a distance with his spiritual sense, he condensed his true energy into his ears, judged the direction of the six innate masters by relying on his hearing, and followed far behind.
In order to avoid being sensed by the other party, he didn't even look at it.
These six masters didn't talk much and were silent all the way. However, they were rushing very fast. After only two hours, they had already left the scope of Xiangyuan Mansion.
There is no such thing as boundary markers on the border line of Daxia, and the Northern Youzhou is not within the scope of the Jiuzhou Formation. However, from the high mountain top, there are mountains covered with snow-covered mountains, so I know that this place is really the northeast of the Daxia Dynasty.
This mountain range is called "Baitou Mountain", which means that the mountains here all look like they have white hair. Not far from the mountainside, it is a snow line. When the snow line goes up, it is thick snow.
In summer, the snow in the Baitou Mountains melts, bringing abundant water. At that time, rivers will become surging, which is the world-famous "Youzhou Summer Flood".
The summer flood season in Youzhou is short and large in scale, and the more fierce and fierce it goes to the north. Every time during the flood season, rivers spread, mud and water overflow, and often form swamps. Then, before they completely dry up, they will freeze in late autumn and turn into rock-solid frozen soil.
By the end of spring next year, the permafrost will melt and turn into a mud again. Soon after, the summer flood broke out... and the cycle continues and the cycle continues.
Countless years have accumulated the most fertile land in the world.
The soil here is dark and deep, so fertile that it seems that you can squeeze oil out with your hands.
According to legend, seeds are sprinkled here before they freeze in autumn. As long as the seeds are not frozen to death, a large amount of grain can be harvested in late summer next year, and there is no need for even a little extra manpower in the whole process.
Pan Long didn't know whether this legend was true or not. But he knew that the Central Plains dynasty wanted to develop this fertile soil north of the "Old Youzhou" (the area within the Jiuzhou formation, called "Old Youzhou"), but there was no great result.
After all, it's too cold here!
It is twelve months a year, and about six months of freezing. Legend has it that when the coldest winter in Beiyouzhou, you set up a bonfire in the wild to boil a pot of water and sprinkle it into the air. What falls to the ground is not water droplets, but ice cubes of large and small.
In such an environment, ordinary people really can't live.
Since ancient times, the Central Plains dynasty has put in a lot of effort and finally only built a few towns.
Similar to the situation in the north, these towns are covered by magic circles. Once the cold season enters, the magic circles will be activated to keep the town warm.
But Northern Youzhou is colder than Northern Land, and... it is not as barren as Northern Land. On the contrary, it has fertile land and abundant resources.
Is it a bad thing to have fertile land and abundant resources?
Of course not in the world without any supernatural factors in Pan Long’s previous life.
But here, the fertile land and abundant resources mean that there will be a large number of monsters and monsters.
In the cold environment, people cannot survive, but monsters and monsters can.
Therefore, Bei Youzhou became the world of these ghosts and monsters.
Ordinary Central Plains people will find it difficult to survive without the town. Only those iceland ethnic groups who have evolved over the long years to adapt to the cold can move freely outside the town and obtain gifts from nature.
From the perspective of living space, there is actually not much conflict between the Central Plains people and the Iceland ethnic group.
But as the saying goes, "the most harsh nature cannot withstand the greed of people's hearts." There are too many precious productions on the northern Youzhou and even further north, those lands that are frozen all year round, those lands where plants and trees are almost impossible to grow and only moss can survive.
For these productions, experts in the Central Plains continued to go deep into the wilderness of crisis, wanting to rely on their own force to conquer all difficulties and get rich overnight.
Most of these people never go back, but as long as one or two people come back, they will definitely be able to make a fortune and attract more people to take risks.
This kind of work is called "ice hunter" by the people of Youzhou. A successful ice hunter will definitely gain both fame and fortune, which is enviable and jealous.
In fact, there are similar people in the north. They take the initiative to cross the Jincheng defense line, go deep into the Great Wilderness, and search for precious treasures.
But the Great Wilderness is more barren than the ice field. What is bred in the barren environment are more powerful and ferocious monsters and monsters, as well as the wilderness people who are more powerful than monsters and monsters.
It is much harder to get benefits from the Great Wilderness and come back alive than to be an ice hunter.
If you have the ability to search for treasure in the Great Wilderness, why not go to the Ice Field?
This is the biggest source of contradiction between the Central Plains people and the Ice Estate group.
In order to gain wealth, ice hunters can trample on all benevolence, righteousness and morality without caring. They can kill several people for a spiritual herb, or they can kill an entire tribe in order to seize a piece of spiritual wood carved into totems.
...And they really do it often.
The Ice Field tribe also salivates the wealth possessed by the Central Plains Trail Blazers, with solid tools, comfortable clothes, and sufficient food... In order to obtain these, they adopted the most traditional and direct way.
