Everlasting Sword God - Chapter 61

[Chapter 61 Northwest Journey]

After exiting the gate of Abandoned Sword Villa, it turned to the west, and went north along the Songjiang River, entering a sparse grassland.

The world of Eight Cultivation is vast and the terrain is very complex. Even within a state, there are many changes. As far as Feilan Province is concerned, the area where the Abandoned Sword Villa is located is a fertile plain, the Baiyue Cave is located in the hills, the Ziyanzong Mountains are continuous, and the river in the Dragon Emperor’s Mansion is turbulent.

And the location of this towering city is in a desert.

There are not too many residents here, mainly grazing, and they have been looted by Sky City, and they have migrated one after another, making it even more sparsely populated.

This place is poor in mountains and rivers, but there are many kinds of monsters, so there are also people who invite friends and companions to hunt here to obtain various precious materials.

Of course… in recent years, due to the rise of Sky City, there have been many fewer people here to try their luck. After all, in addition to dealing with ferocious monsters, you have to be careful of the horse thieves swept in, which is really unbearable.

Therefore, Shen Zhenyi did not encounter any companions during the initial journey. He didn’t care either, walking slowly every day, comprehending Sword Intent all day long and improving himself.

Like him, he can improve himself almost every minute and every second.

And, never ending.

Along the way, there were also many monsters passing by Shen Zhenyi, and some of them were killed by his sword. If they were far away from him, he would turn a blind eye.

Some of the materials on the monsters are quite valuable, but if they are useless, they will ignore them.

After about seven days, he finally crossed the grassland and arrived at a Gobi.

The natural environment here is more cruel, and there are more ugly and ferocious monsters. The habitat of the dragon eagle is not far away.

That night, the weather was cold and the starlight was weak. For the first time, Shen Zhenyi encountered a gathering camp of hunters.

When it was almost evening, he saw a fire from a distance, and when he was walking, he found that there were hundreds of people gathered here, making a lot of noise.

Shen Zhenyi briefly recalled that this place should be Beiguji, the source of the Songjiang River, where merchants, hunters, and prostitutes were all trading, resting, and inquiring about news.

Before entering the Dragon Eagle Gobi, this is probably the last resting place.

Shen Zhenyi was still dressed in white and did not cause dust, so when he walked into the camp, he attracted the attention of many people.

“Why did a white-faced scholar come? In this kind of place, wouldn’t it be a death sentence for the son and brother to come?”

“There isn’t even a guard around. Could it be a new born baby? Aren’t newborn calves afraid of tigers?”

“Look at his well-dressed, rich or expensive, it’s better not to offend him!”

“Bah! When you come to Beiguji, what do you care about? They are all desperados. Even if he died here, is there anyone who can find out who did it?”

In the wilderness of Beiguji, life and death are staged all the time. No matter what your identity is, as long as you lose your life, your body will inevitably be buried in yellow sand.

Seeing how rich Shen Zhenyi looked, many people were eager to move.

Shen Zhenyi could feel the lingering malice, he kept his head down, walked to a cake stand in Beigu Central, asked for two green onion cakes and a bowl of water.

The owner of the bakery was kind-hearted and reminded in a low voice, “Little brother, why did you come to such a place alone? If you get separated from the guards, go back and join them. You must know that the monsters on the Gobi are no more fierce than the north. Where are the people who are consolidating…”

Shen Zhenyi smiled and nodded, “Thank you boss for reminding me, I’ll take care of it.”

In chaotic places, fists are the rules, no matter what world you are in. Shen Zhenyi understands this situation very well, and he has no intention to change it – as long as these people don’t provoke him obediently, it is not that they have no chance to see the sun tomorrow.

Seeing that he didn’t listen to the advice, the boss sighed and didn’t dare to say more.

There are already many fierce eyes swept over, he is just a businessman, and he has no ability to protect a daring young man.

Shen Zhenyi took the cake and sat down on the wooden bench next to the stall, carefully tore the cake apart, and swallowed it hot, only to feel the fragrance left on his cheeks, the boss’s craftsmanship was unexpectedly good.

“Hey!”

A drunken man sat down opposite him aggressively and shouted, “Do you have any money on your body?”

Shen Zhenyi glanced at him, and replied absently, “Yes.”

The drunk man rolled his eyes and said with a strange smile: “Then lend a few dozen taels of silver to the uncle’s envoy. I’ll go over there and make two bets, and I’ll pay you back if I win!”

This is a typical deception. If Shen Zhenyi was timid and took out the money, then there would be a steady stream of extortion.

“No loan.”

Shen Zhenyi took a sip of water and looked into the distance nonchalantly.

This kind of scum, it’s not even worth doing it yourself. As long as he dares to stretch out his hand, the sword energy can cut off his palm.

The drunk man was furious, and as soon as he slapped the table, he started, “You are shameless!”

“Wait!” A woman in red squeezed in front of Shen Zhenyi, reached out to stop him, and scolded: “Chen Laojiu, you still dare to be domineering here? Haven’t suffered enough yesterday?”

The drunk man was stunned, saw who was coming, and saw a group of people behind her, his face changed slightly, knowing that he couldn’t be provoked, he snorted and walked away.

The woman in red turned her head, reached out and patted Shen Zhenyi on the shoulder, “Little brother, there are so many dragons and snakes here, you really shouldn’t come. Just listen to the boss and leave quickly!”

They all felt that Shen Zhenyi was a single noble son, and there should always be guards not far away.

Shen Zhenyi shook his head and said with a smile, “I’m going to rest here for a night, and then I’ll continue to go north to hunt dragon eagles. Miss’s kindness is appreciated.”

Although the other party didn’t actually help him, this woman was just saving people out of kindness, and Shen Zhenyi was always gentle with such people. There are too many bad people in this world, and there are never enough good people. Of course, you should be polite to them.

“Are you going to hunt the dragon eagle?”

The woman in red raised her eyebrows in surprise, “How many master guards did you bring?”

The adult dragon eagle itself has the strength of a real-life warrior, and can fly in the air. If there is no real-life fifth level or above, it is difficult to hunt at all. What’s more, there is the city of Soaring Heaven in front of him. How strong a hunting team does this noble son have to have such an ambition?

“Only me.”

Shen Zhenyi answered lightly.
