The city was called the City of Hope in the Book of Sand. Legend had it that the ancestors of the Beqi Empire had sent out an advance party to search for their way back to their hometown, the Divine Dragon Empire. After passing through the terrifying Viper Valley, they arrived at an abandoned Gobi Desert. On the map at that time, this area was called the City of Hope. Due to the endless Gobi Desert, the advance party did not dare to rashly advance, so they established a supply station here. However, to everyone's surprise, during the process of building the supply station, the advance party unexpectedly discovered a huge underground tomb, and there were a large number of terrifying mutated magical beasts in the tomb. These magical beasts looked like pigs, but they were divided into three types: red, white, and black. Therefore, the advance party at that time called them black wild boars, red wild boars, and white wild boars! However, what everyone did not expect was that the strength of these wild boars was unbelievable. Therefore, in order to prevent these wild boars from running out of the ancient tomb and harming the human society at that time, the Bi Qi military sent a large number of troops to guard the exit of the pig cave. As a large number of soldiers gathered here, the supply pressure in the Bi Qi Empire increased greatly. In order to alleviate this supply pressure, In the end, the Bi Qi Empire decided to open up this area and build it into a commercial city, using the commercial city's trade income to support this large army. This was the origin of Mengzhong Earth City. Whether it was the modern game version of the Book of Sand or the real-life version of the Book of Sand in this world, the origin of Mengzhong Earth City was described in the same way.
Walking on the open and noisy street, I felt the ancient and mysterious culture that was full of exotic and oriental customs. I couldn't help but feel an impulse and sigh. Yes, Mengchong City was really beautiful. The buildings here were not only full of medieval European clock roof architectural style, but also integrated with the unique rich, solemn and solid cultural heritage of the ancient East. It was difficult to classify it as belonging to that style. However, it was pleasing to the eye. The streets and alleys were bustling with people and cars. On both sides were shops filled with dazzling goods. Walking on the street, I was like a grandmother entering the Grand View Garden. I looked around and touched the west. No matter what strange things I saw, I couldn't help but reach out and play with them. This caused Long Xin and the other two, as well as Jin Hong, to frown.
"This guy!" "How embarrassing!" Long Xin said awkwardly.”
"I've never seen the market!" Long Qi showed an understanding expression.
"Stay away from him!" Long Zhan subconsciously pulled away."This way, no one will know that we're together!”It had to be said that Long Zhan this guy was still very smart at times!
“...”Jin Hong could only shake his head slightly. For the entire morning, I wandered through the streets and alleys, lingering in the upper bunks. However, I didn't buy anything. The reason was naturally because I didn't have any money.
However, I had always wanted to see what the legendary pigsty looked like. At this moment, I finally found the symbolic building of the league. The bell tower that was built at the entrance of the pigsty was almost as tall as a palace. In fact, there was no need to look for it. As long as one was within the range of Mengchong Earth City, they would be able to see the tallest building. If they walked towards the direction of the tallest bell tower, they would naturally find the entrance to the pig cave under the bell tower. There were nearly a hundred steps of thick golden marble stairs. Standing below, they would not be able to see the situation of the pig cave.
At the entrance were two broadsword guards and four archers. Just as I was about to walk in, I was held in front of my chest by two large knives.
"No Ranger above Level 25 is allowed to enter!”The two wooden guards with large swords were expressionless as they continued to speak in a cold tone,"Please leave immediately!"
"Ah! How did this happen?" I was a little disappointed and turned my head slightly, only to see Long Xin and the others sizing me up with expressions of watching a good show.
"That, Big Brother Saber!" "Do you have to be level 25?!" Can I just go in and take a look for a while?"
"I'm very sorry!" The broadsword guard was still expressionless." No one is allowed to enter unless they are above level 25. Also, my name is Huan Kong, not Big Brother Saber. Please leave immediately. Otherwise, you will be expelled by force!”
"Ah!" I helplessly turned around and left. It turned out that I couldn't enter the pig hole casually.
"I really lost to you." Long Xin looked at me helplessly.”
" Ranger Manual!" I was slightly stunned. He had been too busy running for his life a while ago, so how could he have the time to watch it!”
"Humph!" " Then I'll have to trouble you to take a good look at it when you have the time," Long Xin said unhappily." Don't make a fool of yourself in the future, alright?!"”
"Oh!" I was a little embarrassed. I subconsciously scratched my head and looked at the entrance of the pig cave.
"Don't look anymore. The guards won't let you in unless you have a Ranger Level 25 or higher!”" The mutated magical beasts in the pigsty are too powerful," Long Qi explained." For everyone's safety, the military used such a management method!”
"Alright then!" I gave up helplessly,[Who asked us to not have a Level 25 Ranger certification!]”
"If you want to go in, then cultivate properly!”"We've been waiting for you all this time. It's also been half a month since we've cultivated."”
"Yes!" Long Xin nodded." That's why we'll play with you today. From tomorrow onwards, we'll go all out!"”
"Haha!" I laughed dryly and couldn't help but think of modern vacations. I didn't know if I was on vacation now.
"Jin Hong, you just accompany this guy and continue to stroll around!”" Let's go to the Ranger's notice board and see if there are any quests that can be completed in Centipede Cavern!" Long Xin instructed.”
"Yes!" Jin Hong nodded.
................................
Long Xin and the others disappeared into the corner of the street, but I was still enjoying myself.
The streets were still bustling with people. People were coming and going in strange clothes. Some were bright and dazzling, while others were wearing light makeup. The carriages on the streets were even more strange and had different designs. I couldn't help but think of modern cars and touring cars. Compared to Maple Leaf Town, this place was much bigger and more lively.
After we got tired, we found a food stall and ordered a few snacks before sitting down. I can see that Jin Hong is very familiar with this place. While eating, he introduced the various local customs and cultural history of the city to me.
Although I already knew that Mengchong Earth City was huge and had a lot of people, when Jin Hong told me the exact number, I was still shocked. The entire city covered an area of 500 square miles and had a population of nearly 5 million people. It was almost the size of a modern medium-sized city. After all, this was the hinterland of the desert. To build such a large city required a huge amount of manpower and resources. I didn't know what the construction process in this world was like, but there definitely weren't any large-scale mechanical construction tools, right? To reach such a scale by relying on one's shoulders and hands, the amount of effort involved was definitely beyond my imagination.
In addition, I finally found out that there was a large amount of mineral resources that could be mined in the surrounding areas of Mengchong. There was also another place that I was familiar with and unfamiliar with, the Zuma Temple, which was also an important factor in attracting a large number of people. Shabak said that it was located in the middle of Mengzhong Tucheng and Zuma Temple. Just as he had imagined, the ones who controlled Sabak City were a pure ranger organization. They were the most powerful top-notch gang on the continent, the Bluesand Gang. The gang leader was a mysterious person called Mo Zhenting. No one had ever seen her true face. It was said that she was a beautiful woman. In addition to the city outside of Sabarka, I finally learned about the distribution of the other big figures or big sects in the Ranger world.
I didn't expect that Jin Hong, who looked about the same age as me, would be so familiar with the history of the Wanderer World. I've gained a lot of knowledge. In terms of the Qi Empire, the people here were the most valiant. Due to historical reasons, the ancestors of most people here were soldiers who had been stationed here in the past. Therefore, they naturally inherited the hot-blooded and warlike nature of their ancestors. There were also many dangerous places where magical beasts resided around the city. The centipede cave to the northwest of the city, the Zuma Temple to the east, and the ancient tomb pig cave at the center of the city were all inhabited by many powerful magical beasts. As they fought against these magical beasts for a long time, the people in Mengchong City naturally became stronger and stronger. This made me think of the nomads of the northern grasslands in ancient China. They also lived in harsh environments. He had grown up and honed himself.
In addition, the existence of these dangerous places attracted powerful rangers from the outside world to cultivate and settle down here, causing the development of martial arts, magic, and Dao techniques to reach an amazing height. Later on, many sects and schools were formed. Jin Hong only used one sentence to simply summarize the distribution of these main sects and factions:
One City, Sabak City
Two families, the Zi family and the Lan family
Three gangs, Divine Dragon Gang, Vermillion Bird Gang, Qilin Gang
Four: Roaring Tiger Sect, Dragon Abyss Sect, Eagle True Sect, Bear Domination Sect (also known as Dragon Tiger Eagle Bear)
Of course, there were more than just one city, two families, three gangs, and four sects in the league. However, these few families were the most powerful. The other sects, big and small, also had their own rankings, but I didn't spend much effort to remember them.
After filling our stomachs, we strolled around for a while. At around 4 PM, Jin Hong and I returned to the Earth City Inn.
Long Xin and the other two had returned long ago and were busy tidying up.
"I'm back!" Long Xin didn't even raise her head as she continued to stuff things into her spatial bag.
"Haha!" I nodded!
"Then hurry up and pack up!" " This time, we might have to stay in the Centipede Cave for a long time," Long Xin continued." So, we have to prepare well. When the time comes, we won't have to return to the inn at night like we did in the Skeleton Cave."”
"Ah, you mean, we eat and live in Centipede Cave!”I asked in shock.
"That's it!" "So quickly check what you still lack, lest you have to spend time coming back to replenish it when the time comes!"”
"I'm fine!" "As long as there's enough to eat, it'll be fine!"”
"I knew you would say that!" "I didn't expect you to make any preparations!" Long Qi snapped.”Long Qi looked at Jin Hong and said," What about you? See what you're lacking. While there's still time, hurry up and make up for it. We'll set off tomorrow morning!"”
"I don't care anymore!" Jin Hong proudly patted the spatial bag on his body and said,""Everything that needs to be prepared has long been prepared!"
"That's good." Long Xin finally finished her work and sat down."Now, I'll tell you about the mission this time!”Long Xin subconsciously looked at me."This time, I accepted more than ten missions in one go! The main thing was to collect things like the cores of magical beasts!”
"That means it's like in the Skull Cave!”I was shocked.
"Of course!" "After all, it's such a waste not to use such a good treasure like you!" Long Xin said.”
“.”Jin Hong had a confused look on his face."What are you guys talking about!"
"You'll know when the time comes!" Long Zhan's mysterious appearance made Jin Hong even more curious.
"As for Dongbao's employment, it will depend on the situation!”Long Qi added," After all, the Centipede Cave is different from the Skeleton Cave. We'll only know when the time comes if Constellation can still display the same effective combat ability as Guo Chu!”
"Haha! As long as he grasped their weaknesses, it shouldn't be difficult!”I muttered to myself.
"I knew you would say that!" " Now," Long Qi said," I'll introduce the main characteristics and weaknesses of the monsters in the centipede cave.”
Long Qi took out a large book from his pocket and continued,""This is the conclusion of many seniors who cultivated in the centipede cave! First of all, the entrance of the Centipede Cave, which was the eastern level of the Centipede Cave, was the training place for most intermediate rangers. There were mainly centipedes, black maggots, worms, jumping bees, and other mutated creatures. Other than the maggots 'defense and speed, there was nothing special about them. Of course, these were the views of the seniors.”" We are newbies who have just become intermediate rangers," Long Qi reminded." Any species here can easily kill us.”
"I won't say any more nonsense!" Long Qi continued," In short, we have to be careful. Also, the weakness of these creatures is that the centipede, jumping bee, and the worm have relatively weak defense. It's not difficult for us to kill them with our attack power. Moreover, as long as their heads are cut off, they will die. In this aspect, they are no different from Skeleton Warriors!”Long Qi subconsciously looked at me." However, it's not easy to accurately target their heads with their size, and I don't think it's necessary.”
"Yes!" Long Zhan also added," Actually, their defensive power is a little worse than the Skeleton Battle Generals. With the characteristics of your blade technique, even if you don't deliberately chop off their heads, you can also cut them into two."”
"Not bad!" Long Qi nodded slightly and continued," The centipede, jumping bee, and worm are all fine. What you need to pay attention to is the black maggot. This kind of mutated creature has high speed and defense, and their weakness is not in the head! The reason why he said that was not because it was useless to cut off their heads, but because the heads of the black maggots were very small, only the size of a human fist. Moreover, their movement speed was too fast, so it was difficult to cut off their heads. Of course, if you could cut off their heads while moving at high speed, it would only be considered your ability!”
"Haha! It's very challenging!" I can't wait!
"This guy!" Long Zhan said unhappily.
"Under normal circumstances, experienced seniors would choose to attack their stomachs! Of course, if you have enough strength, you can directly cut through its surface leather armor and kill it.”Long Qi continued," Compared to their hard armor, their bellies are softer. However, their attack method is very strange. They use their body as the axis and form a circle like a wheel. They attack the enemy by rolling and colliding. Therefore, their bellies are also very well hidden! In other words, if you wanted to attack its stomach, you had to attack it before it started. Once it started, you would have to fight it head-on!”
"Does it have a pause after it starts attacking?”"What I want to know is, will its belly always be inside its body?"”
"Normally, the distance it rolls and hits is about ten meters. In other words, after moving ten meters, it has to stop and accumulate strength. At this time, if it wants to launch the next impact, it has to stretch. This is when its belly is exposed!”
"Understood!" I nodded.
"As for the Pincer Bug, its defense is much stronger than the black maggot, but its speed is not as exaggerated as the maggot. It can be said that other than forcefully breaking through his armor, there is no other way to kill him!”Long Qi's expression was grave." That's why it's very difficult to kill it with just offensive sword qi before you comprehend the assassination sword qi." Therefore, our plan is to cultivate in the east floor of the dungeon first, and then head to the west floor after mastering the assassination sword aura.”
"Then let's do it this way!" I nodded in agreement.
