- When Zhang Tie saw Eskil City for the first time, he thought of Karul. As the only city in the ice and snow wasteland, Eskil can be regarded as a majestic city.
Eskil City is also a huge city built on the mountain. Standing on the pier, what Zhang Tie saw was the tall gray city wall in the distance shrouded in the drizzle, a unique feeling in the ice and snow wasteland. The wild atmosphere hits our face.
The feeling of Eskil City to Zhang Tie, apart from being big, is only a roughness that reveals a hard temperament.
The pioneers who got off the Aurora quickly left the dock one by one. The business of taxis and animal-drawn vehicles on the dock was extremely popular. There were also several high-end black cars parked at the deck ladder. From the Aurora Several people who seemed to have high status from the VIP area got into the black car as soon as they arrived at the pier. The black car shook lightly and got into the rain curtain.
Zhang Tie looked at the car that Samaranch, the Star-Moon Sword Saint, was riding away in, and squinted his eyes slightly. Could it be that there were really fragments of the Star of God in the underground leading to the cracks in the Hydra Glacier in the southern part of the ice and snow wasteland? Otherwise, why were they even connected? Someone like Samaranch traveled thousands of miles to come to the ice and snow wilderness at this time?
In the past few days, Samaranch's purpose of coming to the ice and snow wasteland was spread all over the Aurora. Everyone firmly believed that Samaranch came for the fragments of the Star of God, and Samaranch himself also Without denying it, this is intriguing.
The cold hair on Zhang Tie's neck felt the disturbance of the airflow behind him, and his ears also heard the sound of familiar footsteps. So Zhang Tie did not hide away, but stood on the spot. Let that hand pat on your shoulder.
¡°Peter, what¡¯s up, do you want to come with us?¡±
Sam and Gerry each carried a tall pioneer bag and wore a waterproof cloak, and walked out from behind Zhang Tie.
"Are you going to the Hydra Glacier Fissure?" Zhang Tie asked them.
"Of course, aren't the pioneers who came here this time all going for the ruins there and the fragments of the Star of God?" Sam said matter-of-factly.
"We probably don't have a share in the fragments of the Star of God, but if there are ruins, we might be able to get a handful of the things in the ruins!" Gree added.
"I want to try my luck elsewhere. Now my goal is to improve my strength as much as possible! The Hydra Glacier fissure is too lively now. If I go there, I probably won't be able to catch much." Zhang Tie said with a smile, He was already a target on Demonic Snake Island, and Zhang Tie didn't want to bring the unknown danger to his two new friends.
¡°And he didn¡¯t come to the Ice and Snow Wasteland this time for some ruins or fragments of the Star of God, although the latter two things are indeed very attractive, especially the fragments of the Star of God, which are said to have many miraculous effects. But Zhang Tie knows his own abilities and abilities. He knows that even if there are fragments of the Star of God, he will never have his own share. Just look at Samaranch. With a person of this level To fight for things, I really don¡¯t know how the word ¡°death¡± is written.
Samaranch can come. Then other strong men of similar level to him may also come. Why would a little shrimp like him join in the fun? It's up to you to collect Qiliguo honestly. People can't always live by luck.
"Well, let's meet again if we have the chance. Let's go to the Hydra Glacier crevice first. If things there are over and we want to leave there, we will return to Eskil City. We will stay here for a long time. Time, Sam and I both plan to advance to Level 6 in the Ice and Snow Wasteland before we consider going anywhere else. There are several entrances to the underground world in the Ice and Snow Wasteland, and it will be convenient for you to gather fighting energy in the future! We can just ask someone at the Pioneer Bar in Eskil City!"
"Then I wish you both good luck. By the way, let me give you something before leaving!" Zhang Tie said, taking out two full-effect potions from his potion bag and handing them to each of them. Sam and Gerry. Anyway, more and more full-effect potions are flowing out now, and Zhang Tie is not afraid of exposing his identity by giving away two potions.
"What kind of potion is this?" Sam and Gerry each took one and looked at it curiously.
"These are some full-effect potions given to me by others!"
"Full potion?"
The faces of the two young pioneers were full of doubts. Looking at the expressions of these two people, Zhang Tie knew that they had not heard about the full potion. For most pioneers, full potion was The newly-emerged medicine, the powerful potion, is still a little far away from their lives. It is estimated that they will have to wait at least a few more months before they know what the full potion is.
"This potion can be used as a primary detoxification potion. You can also use it if you are injured or need to replenish your strength or even encounter minor problems such as colds and coughs!"
"Haha, it sounds good, and the packaging of this potion is not bad either, so thank you!"
The two people put away the potion. They seemed to be a little skeptical about what Zhang Tie said. They felt that Zhang Tie's words might be a bit exaggerated. However, Zhang Tie also had good intentions, so the two of them expressed their gratitude to Zhang Tie.
The three of them said goodbye at the dock. Yiler was still tossing around with the goods he had brought this time on the boat. He probably wouldn't be able to get off the boat for a while. Zhang Tie had already greeted him when he got off the boat, so there was no need to say anything else at this time. wait.
After leaving the pier, most of the pioneers found a car directly near the pier. Without waiting for a moment, they sat in the car and left.
On the map, the Hydra Glacier fissure is in the southern part of the ice and snow wasteland, and its relative position is in the wilderness 2,000 kilometers northwest of Eskil City. There is a small town about 300 kilometers west of Eskil City. , called Shatta, is the farthest place that all wheeled vehicles in Eskil can reach.
All pioneers who want to make a fortune in the Hydra Glacier crevices, the first destination they choose after arriving in the ice and snow wasteland is Shatta. After arriving there, everyone showed their talents and went to the Hydra Glacier fissure. Whether he lives or dies is up to fate.
The distance is 300 kilometers. If all goes well, the pioneers will take the transportation to Xiata in the morning and spend the night in Xiata in the evening, so no one wants to waste time.
Zhang Tie watched with his own eyes as Sam, Gerry, and more than a dozen pioneers bargained with a truck driver, then got into a half-new truck driven by the truck driver, and then disappeared into the rain. .
?????? Not long after Sam and Gerry left. The rain suddenly began to get heavier, and the raindrops were blown directly into Zhang Tie's neck by the wind, making Zhang Tie shiver. Zhang Tie looked at the tall walls of Eskil City in the distance and tightened his grip. waterproof cloak, and then left the dock area
¡¡
Five minutes later, Zhang Tie was lining up at the gate to the south of Eskil City. Follow the team that wants to enter the city and accept the interrogation, and then pay the entry fee.
Although it was raining heavily at this time, it was like a downpour. The queues at the city gate were exposed to the heavy rain, but the people in the queue were very well-behaved. Line up honestly. No one messed around. The reason was that the two groups of heavily armed soldiers at the gate of Eskil City, with an average height of over 2.2 meters, made all those who wanted to cause chaos shudder.
The two groups of soldiers wore strange-shaped bear-head helmets made of steel on their heads, which looked particularly frightening.
The person in line in front of Zhang Tie was a tall warrior, and that warrior was actually carrying a leather spear pouch. The spear bag contains six metal flying spears.
The two teams of soldiers guarding the city gate seemed to pay special attention to the man carrying the spear bag. Zhang Tie noticed that this guy had been waiting in line since the beginning. The eyes of many of the two groups of soldiers at the city gate fell on the soldier carrying the spear pouch intentionally or unintentionally.
This made the soldier a little nervous. He checked himself from head to toe several times to see if there was anything wrong.
Compared to the attention this warrior carrying a spear bag received, Zhang Tie couldn't help but frown slightly when he thought of himself. Zhang Tie, who had just left the Aurora, discovered that he was being stared at. The person who was staring at him had followed him out of the port and was now among the crowd behind him, but his eyes never moved away from him.
Zhang Tie, who was queuing on one side, gently rubbed his right hand on the ordinary ring on the ring finger of his left hand. If it hadn't been for this ring, he might not have noticed that he was being watched as soon as he got off the boat.
The ring was a gift given to him by Olina when she left St. Helena Island. It is a very rare rune equipment called the "Ring of Awareness".
There are two rune effects attached to the Ring of Awareness. One rune effect increases Zhang Tie's perception ability by 8%, and the other rune effect is a visual trigger. As long as someone is staring at Zhang Tie from behind, If the concentration time exceeds 20 seconds and the thoughts in his heart are not so friendly, this ring will remind Zhang Tie.
20 seconds is a limit. Whether it is a stranger or a friend, it is rare for someone to stare at a person behind his back for more than 20 seconds. Moreover, human eyes are a medium that can transmit a message that carries a message. The special spiritual energy of personal emotions and psychological activities. The visual triggering ability of this ring seems to be the ability to accept and feel.??The energy that others invest in a person through their own eyes reminds the person being watched to know.
This effect on the ring is very rare. It is like an invisible protective umbrella. Just from this effect, Zhang Tie knew that the rune ring given to him by Olina must be very precious. This kind of rune equipment, which can directly give the wearer some strange abilities, has always been a relatively rare item. It is rarely seen even in auction houses.
When leaving the dock, Zhang Tie's finger wearing the Ring of Awareness felt slightly numb. Only then did Zhang Tie realize that he was being stared at. The person staring at him was very skilled and knew how to manipulate people in different environments and crowds. He hid it himself. If it weren't for the ring, Zhang Tie really wouldn't have discovered it.
After being reminded by the ring, Zhang Tie ran all the way and found the guy who was staring at him when he arrived at the city gate.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhang Tie's mouth. A little unknown person like himself was being watched as soon as he arrived in the ice and snow wasteland. Besides the people from Demon Snake Island, would there be anyone else?
A force like Demon Snake Island. In such an important place as the Ice and Snow Wasteland, it is normal to have a few manpower and intelligence points. The people on Devil Snake Island must have let the people here know about the news that they came here on the Aurora through long-distance communication. It is not very difficult to find a person who matches his appearance among the passengers who disembarked from the Aurora. things
These bastards!
When it was his turn to interrogate the soldier carrying the spear pouch, a leader-looking man from the two groups of soldiers came over in person and took a closer look at the man.
"Is this your first time in the Ice and Snow Wasteland?" The person who asked the question looked very oppressive, but his voice was quite gentle, or perhaps too gentle. It doesn't match his overall temperament. In Zhang Tie's opinion, such a guy should usually yell when he talks.
"Yes!" the soldier replied.
"What are you here for?"
"I heard that a beast tide broke out in some places in the ice and snow wasteland. I'm here to hone my combat skills and make some money on the way!"
"Well, then go in, you don't have to pay the city fee!" The person who asked the question looked at the man carefully. Then he waved.
This actually made the soldier who was carrying the spear pouch stunned. He didn¡¯t know whether he should put the entry fee of one silver coin in one hand into the box in front of him, "You said I don¡¯t have to pay the city entry fee?"
"Yes, all warriors who use flying spears will not have to pay the entrance fee when entering Eskil City in the future. This is a rule that Eskil City established just a few days ago!"
The warrior carrying the spear pouch laughed, no matter where he went. It always makes people feel good to receive preferential treatment, "Thank you!"
"If you are confident in your skills in throwing flying spears, you can go to Ural Lake to participate in the Falcon Conference held in the ice and snow wasteland in a few days. The winner of this year's Falcon Conference will receive a set of rune flying spears made of star iron. Spear!" When the warrior carrying the spear pouch was about to leave. The leader-looking man who asked him suddenly said something.
These words made the soldier who had already taken a few steps look back and his eyes widened. Swallowing hard, "What are you talking about, a set of rune flying spears made of star iron?"
"good."
"Can anyone participate?"
"Yes, anyone, regardless of age or race, as long as they are capable, can go, and I heard that the winner may also win the favor of the saints from several tribes in the ice and snow wasteland!"
Even Zhang Tie heard the latter words, and it was obvious that he was encouraging. However, the person listening took two heavy breaths, nodded heavily, and left with the spear pouch on his back. It seemed that I have firmly remembered these words in my heart.
The rune flying spears made of star iron, and they come in sets, are also favored by tribal saints. The temptation for men is not ordinary, whether they like money, women, the limelight or gods. As long as a man with weapons and weapons hears such news, there is probably no man who can resist such temptation.
Even Zhang Tie's heart moved when he heard such words, wondering if he should join in the fun and see the abilities of those masters who use flying spears.
Oh, by the way, from what that person said, the special treatment for these warriors who use flying spears only started a few days ago. What is the reason? The ice and snow wasteland seems to be a bit lively recently.
Although he was thinking this way in his heart, Zhang Tie could not have thought that such a baffling thing might be related to him.
It¡¯s Zhang Tie¡¯s turn, the leader who just interrogated the soldierSuch a person frowned slightly and looked at Zhang Tie. Whether it was Zhang Tie's pretty face or his pioneer attire, that person didn't like him very much.
"Are you a pioneer?"
"yes!"
"Then you need to pay four silver coins as a city entry fee!" The leader said in a cold voice.
"Ah, why do others have two, and some people give it for free, but how come I have four silver coins?" Zhang Tie shouted unconvinced.
"The pioneers are all people who want to come to the ice and snow wasteland to make a fortune. Everyone wants to take something from here, but they don't want to contribute anything. There is nothing so cheap in this world, so the entrance fee for the pioneers is doubled!" That person was somewhat He waved his hand impatiently. The arrogant warriors around him also looked at Zhang Tie with unkind eyes, as if they didn't mind giving Zhang Tie a beating as long as Zhang Tie dared to jump up.
Zhang Tie silently took out four silver coins and threw them into the box, then rushed into Eskil City without looking back.
When leaving the city gate. Zhang Tie also heard someone behind him mutter, "What's wrong with learning at a young age? Why do you want to be a pioneer and wait for gold coins to fall from the sky? Humph!"
"These pioneers are similar to hyenas. They burrow wherever there is the smell of carrion, and run away when there is trouble. I think I should give you a suggestion. In the future, Eskil City should ban pioneers from entering. These guys It¡¯s of no use at all!¡±
"Wrong. The maps drawn by these guys are still somewhat useful. There are still many uninhabited areas in the ice and snow wasteland that these guys need to explore, so these guys are not useless!"
"If it weren't for this, I don't think a pioneer should be allowed to set foot in the ice and snow wasteland"
"This is something adults worry about!"
Zhang Tie started running, as if he wanted to find a place to take shelter from the rain, and immediately left the comments behind him, 50 meters after leaving the city gate. Through his peripheral vision, Zhang Tie saw a figure hurriedly following him into the city.
Zhang Tie¡¯s eyes turned cold and he saw a remote alley not far ahead. Because it was raining, there were almost no people in the alley. Zhang Tie immediately got in
Less than half a minute. A figure also came here. Without hesitating for half a second, he also got in
Rainy, very heavy weather. It also became gloomy!
The rainwater flowing down from the roofs and eaves of the buildings next to the alley formed two tall and fine waterfalls on both sides of the alley. The ground in the entire alley was covered with water half a finger high.
Zhang Tie seemed to be taking shelter from the rain. At a corner of the alley, I stood close to the wall of a house, squinting and looking at the curtain of water flowing down from my head.
There was a flash of lightning in the sky, and the whole earth turned white for an instant. A few seconds later, there was a rumble, and a muffled rolling thunder came from the sky. In the midst of this rolling thunder, there was a rush of footsteps from the alley. came, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed around the corner and turned around
As soon as the man turned around, he saw Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie also looked at him and smiled. As soon as the man's expression changed, Zhang Tie took action
Water droplets splashed, and Zhang Tie moved like thunder
That person¡¯s hand is not bad, just not bad. He is estimated to be around level 6. Such strength is not enough for Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie's movements were very fast, sharp and fierce. In less than two seconds, the man groaned and his neck was caught by Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie grabbed the man's neck and used the terrifying strength of a bull to hit him hard. Smashing the man's entire back against a stone wall next to the alley.
The man's feet were off the ground. When Zhang Tie hit him against the wall, he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood. The spurted blood fell into the water on the ground and was quickly diluted by the rushing water. , flowing in circles into the drainage system.
The rolling thunder that just sounded in the sky has just ended its final aftertaste at this time
"No don't kill me, I will give you all the money I have!" Before Zhang Tie could say anything, the guy whose neck was stuck against the wall by Zhang Tie spoke, his tone full of panic. Like an ordinary person meeting a robber.
Zhang Tie smiled, this guy is quite smart. At this time, he has to clear himself of suspicion and relax himself as soon as he opens his mouth.
"Besides you, who else is there in Eskil City on Demon Snake Island?" Zhang Tie asked directly.
"II don't know what you are talking about?" The man's expression was quite blank, but Zhang Tie, who had been staring at him, saw that he was saying something magical.When the words "Snake Island" were spoken, the pupils in this guy's eyes shrank involuntarily.
A person's mouth can lie, but his eyes can't. This is the knowledge Tang De taught Zhang Tie. If this guy has nothing to do with Demon Snake Island, then when he suddenly said the word Demon Snake Island, what would happen to this guy's eyes? The pupils either have no reaction or become enlarged. The lack of reaction or enlargement of the pupils means that this guy has either never heard of Demon Snake Island or is confused as to why he asked this question. If the pupils shrink, that is It shows that this guy is extremely nervous, and these three words Demonic Snake Island have hit his mark.
"For the last time, I don't have time to waste with you. Who is the person sent by Demon Snake Island to hunt me down? Tell me everything you know and I will spare your life. Then you can leave Esquier City and escape by yourself. , Don¡¯t worry about the people from Demon Snake Island retaliating against you" Zhang Tie¡¯s voice was as calm as Gu Jing Wubo.
"I really don't know what you are talking about, my money" The man's blank expression instantly turned into great pain and distortion. He lowered his eyes and looked at Zhang Tie's other hand from under his left rib. The dagger stabbed into his body until it had no handle, and he wanted to scream, but his neck was stuck by Zhang Tie and he couldn't make any sound. Before finally closing his eyes, he glanced at Zhang Tie. There was a trace of regret and a trace of surprise in his eyes, as if he couldn't believe that Zhang Tie was so ruthless and instantly buried his cleverness and luck. Underground
"I told you, I don't have time to waste with you!" Zhang Tie let go, and the man fell to the ground as limply as mud. Large blood stains were left on his body, staining the ground of the alley red.
Zhang Tieze quickly disappeared into the rain curtain in the alley
A few minutes later, another figure rushed into the alley. When that person turned around, he saw the guy who was killed by Zhang Tie.
"Damn it!" the man cursed fiercely - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
