In just a few minutes, the situation on the scene changed.
The group came to an open space beside the road. Loran Hill found a stone to sit on, and the others sat on the ground in a semicircle.
"Okay, you speak first." Loran Hill was rarely naughty and raised his hand to point at the big man with black beard.
"I'll speak first." He spoke quite consciously.
"The thing is, I received news in Lianyingzhou that Old Man Huang had commissioned the Lin brothers to deliver a batch of goods to Jiuhuang Mountain deep in Baimanzhou. Then I became interested and sent my men to investigate."
…
"Later, I learned from one of Old Man Huang's servants how valuable this batch of goods was, and then I started planning to get it."
"At first, I thought I'd intercept the goods before they entered Baiman Continent, but I didn't expect the Lin brothers to be so cautious. They changed their route midway, and I could only barely catch up with them. My whereabouts were exposed, and I had to fight them."
"After the fight, they didn't linger and rushed all the way to Baimanzhou. Then we chased them all the way here."
"That's probably what happened."
"What is that stuff?" Loran Hill twisted the hair on his chest with his fingers and looked at the backpack beside him.
"It should be a batch of high-quality medicines, and then the heartwood." The big man said, looking at the three silent swordsmen in front of him.
"It's the potion and the heartwood, yes, but that's not what Jiuhuang Mountain wants." The black-clothed swordsman put his hands on his bent knees and shook his head slightly.
"Hey, I told you. If it really was the goods that Jiuhuang Mountain wanted, then Old Man Huang wouldn't have been so secretive and cautious." The big man with black beard laughed loudly again, but when he saw Roland Hill turning his gaze, he suddenly stopped laughing.
"Well, so that's how it is. No wonder the heroes are so cautious, huh."
"What does heartwood mean?" In fact, Loran Hill didn't quite understand what this term specifically referred to.
"Heartwood refers to some special materials that cultivators need to advance, but generally only mid- to high-level cultivators have this requirement."
"So that's how it is." It seems to be a name unique to the East, the girl thought, but why haven't she heard of it before.
"Most of the disciples of Jiuhuang Mountain practice the Qianlong and Demon Heart paths, which require rather special heartwood. Although there is some in Baimanzhou, it is still not enough." The swordsman continued to explain.
"Besides the disciples of Tiger Roaring Nine Desolate Mountains, Baimanzhou also has some small factions or lone travelers training there, and they also need some supplements."
"What we're sending this time is what some small factions and lone travelers need."
"The deeper you go into Baimanzhou, the stronger the monsters become. Many people come here to train, and of course, many die. It can be said to be a gamble."
Generally speaking, the number of monsters in a place is always limited, and it takes a long time for them to advance and become stronger before a powerful one appears. In this case, you only need to send people to clean them up occasionally.
But it is different in Baiman Continent. The secret realm of the cave here is integrated with the local environment, like a sieve full of holes, which can be entered and exited at will. Therefore, the special environment of the secret realm of the cave has created many monsters, and these monsters also use the effects of the secret realm of the cave to quickly cultivate and advance, making them endless to kill.
Although Huxiao Jiuhuang Mountain is a gate, the secret realm of the cave it possesses is actually incomplete. This is why it is not well-known and is often forgotten in the southwestern continents.
People on both sides talked to each other, gradually adding the environment and reasons of Baiman Continent.
A ruined secret cave realm? Loran Hill thought about it and recalled the Sunset Mountains he had visited before. The secret cave realm there was also in ruins, and was even twisted with the local dragon veins, giving birth to many ferocious monsters.
She didn't know what the situation was like inside the Baiman Continent. Maybe she could go and take a look. After all, the secret realm of the cave and the dragon veins were actually two complementary systems. She also wanted to know why the Sun of the Divine Wings had built the dragon veins at the end and then gave up because they were not interested. She had never seen any trace of them since then.
Even the final Sun of the Divine Wings was extremely powerful, judging from the images that Loran Hill had found in those ancient ruins and the crown. With thousands of Sequence 9 angels, it would have been easy for them to change the world with such powerful strength. However, they gradually fell silent.
After learning what he needed to know, Loran Hill stood up and looked at the sky. It was almost noon.
"Well, let's eat something first, then take a nap. We'll set off in the afternoon and go to Jiuhuang Mountain together."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Miss." Before anyone else spoke, the big man with black beard answered enthusiastically, then stood up and went to prepare.
A few people first found dry firewood in the forest, built a small stove with stones, and then began to cook and heat the soup.
After the group prepared lunch, they let Loran Hill eat first, so that they could slowly enjoy it together. Seeing the harmonious look on both sides, there was no sign of the previous quarrel.
Perhaps both parties understood that neither dared to offend this girl, so they eliminated the possibility of any foul play and began to trust each other.
The group set out on their journey again. With the help of Loran Hill's magic, their speed increased nearly twice as much. When the sun was still on the mountainside, they could see the towering mountain in the distance.
The mountain rises from the forest, towering into the clouds, steep and dangerous. From time to time, giant dragons fly around it, and occasionally you can hear the roars and roars of beasts.
As we got closer to Jiuhuang Mountain, we could see a lot of dead bones and huge stone stakes covered with dried blood on the roadside.
"What are these?" Loran Hill covered her nose slightly with her sleeve. She could smell the faint smell of blood lingering in the air.
