After learning what kind of city the Exiled City was, the atmosphere among the human adventurers heading towards it became somewhat subdued.
Originally, Minister Tu wanted to hide some news about the City of Exile, fearing that a situation similar to losing before the battle would occur.
Unfortunately, once one person knows about news, it will soon spread to countless others. It will spread from one person to ten, and then to a hundred, and it will become impossible to hide it.
We can only take it one step at a time. Perhaps the situation we encounter in the Exiled City won't be so challenging to our character and humanity. Perhaps the people in the Exiled City still retain kindness towards their fellow humans?
Besides, at least they were thousands of people heading to the City of Exile together. If they really encountered an extremely bad problem, couldn't these thousands of people working together solve the problem?
Therefore, although Minister Tu was worried, he was still calm.
It wasn't until three days later that they encountered the first wave of strange patrols waiting on their way.
The road they were walking on at this time was between a deep valley.
Because the weather was cold and snow was falling in the deep valley, everyone was not moving very fast.
And because the only way out of this deep valley is the one they are taking, they only need to set up a checkpoint at the narrowest part of the valley to stop all human adventurers who want to move forward.
The checkpoint that intercepted the human adventurers couldn't even be called a "checkpoint". It was a huge, ferocious, and strange beast. Its head was particularly large, and its mouth alone was more than ten meters wide, just stuck in the narrow passage of the deep valley.
"What's going on? Why is the team not moving?"
"There seems to be something strange blocking the road ahead!"
Minister Tu and his men at the rear of the troops only discovered the problem after a while.
At this time, the human adventurer walking in the front had already confronted the monster at the deep valley checkpoint.
The leaders and captains of the three legions quickly moved to the front of the team, including the elite adventurers who had been imprisoned in the Four Seasons Cage.
Shang Chong, Wu Xingyun, Wang Xiao and others also mixed in with the team and followed. Not long after they arrived, their expressions gradually became ugly.
Blocking the road is a group of weird people.
There is nothing strange about this. Weirdness and humans are naturally hostile to each other, as is the relationship between weirdness and the food chain.
But among these strange creatures blocking the way, Shang Chong and his friends actually saw several humans!
Although some of those humans had deformed arms and legs, and some had extra limbs that humans should not have, their appearance and eyes were enough for all human adventurers to determine their true race.
This is the main source of the turbulent and uneasy atmosphere in the team.
"Haha, fellow brothers, don't be too nervous. We are not the kind of people who will block your way lightly. Of course, we are here, and our team is not the kind of weird people who will block your way lightly."
The first person to speak was a human with a thick and ferocious arm covered with dark blue scales.
It seemed that he was the one with the most say in the team blocking the road. At this moment, his face was flushed and he looked at the team of thousands of people with excitement.
"Everyone, if we go any further, we'll reach the territory of our Exiled City. If we walk, with such a strong snowstorm and blinding wind, it will take you half a month to reach the Exiled City."
"But do you see this giant vehicle behind us? It can pull a car carrying thousands of people at once. Walking would be such a waste of time! Why don't you all get on our vehicle? I guarantee you can reach the Exiled City in three days!"
After hearing what this person said, the awkward and tense expressions on many people's faces relaxed a little. They originally thought that these humans and monsters were stopping them here to rob them or treat them as prey and do something worse.
Turns out he just wanted to drag them to the City of Exile?
This... maybe it's a good intention?
Everyone relaxed a little, but Minister Tu still asked cautiously, "What price will we have to pay if we choose to take the bus?"
The human with the strange blue arm smiled. "Hey, brother, there's no need to be so wary of our own people. We were all dragged into this world, and we have no choice. Why make things difficult for each other?"
"We won't do anything fake, like appearing friendly but stabbing you in the back. We just want to earn more capital to survive in this world."
"Each person only needs one energy coin. Of course, if you are a newcomer to this world, we will only charge one tenth of your wealth."
"Who hasn't experienced the hardship of being a newcomer without money? As fellow human beings, let's be considerate of each other."
Although the price is a bit high, it is affordable for those mid- to high-level psychics who have passed through four or five cities.
Those who cannot afford the price only need to pay one-tenth of their total wealth as fare and toll, which seems acceptable.
So even Minister Tu had nothing to say.
But Qianbao asked at this moment: "What if I don't want to pay and want to walk there on my own?"
In his hand, he held a piece of soft, clay-like object, which seemed harmless. However, Shang Chong and others who had helped him stuff explosives knew that if the soft, clay-like object was thrown out, it could blow up the narrow passage in the deep valley.
The blue-armed human narrowed his eyes at Qianbao, then chuckled, "Brother, if you're so clueless, there's nothing we can do. But as a fellow human, we must at least warn you: the road ahead of Exiled City is quite difficult. Without our behemoths to clear the way, deadly creatures might burst out from the swamps, frozen earth, and snowy forests at any moment. Even if your weapon is powerful, you probably won't be able to destroy them all."
Qian Bao's hand paused. This person actually saw the function of the thing in his hand.
What's more, what he just said was almost saying that if you don't pay for the ride here, you will be robbed and assassinated along the way. Although Qian Bao is a hot-tempered and troublesome person, he is certainly also a smart person.
So, there was almost no struggle and everyone chose to take the bus here.
The monster that was blocking the road with its mouth wide open was patted by a few weird hands, and it actually closed its mouth obediently, then jumped forward step by step with a thud, thud, thud, and jumped in front of the car that looked like a train freight car.
Wu Xingyun hugged his mushroom, which had become even redder, and was amazed: "Is this a weird giant frog pulling a truck?"
Suddenly I felt like they were piled up like black coal.
Shang Chong twitched his lips and said, "Okay, shut up and get in the car. It's better to have a car than to walk in the snow in this cold weather."
"But this car has no roof or shed. It's just a rectangular container without a lid. Won't your head freeze like this?"
"Amitabha, if your heart is warm, your whole body will be warm. Of course, your head won't be frozen."
Wu Xingyun: “.”
Wu Xingyun shut up.
So thousands of people squeezed into the rectangular carriages that had more than a dozen sections. Each carriage could hold more than 400 people. The carriage pulled by this strange giant frog really took them all on board.
As the car was pulled and rushed forward rapidly, Wu Xingyun used three large mushrooms to block everyone's heads, and the increasingly cold wind and snow finally did not freeze everyone's heads.
As long as his brain was still there, he could think. Wu Xingyun looked at the carriage, most of which were "his own people" who were imprisoned in the Four Seasons Cage. After holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn't help but say:
"Um, is it really okay to take this car? I really have a feeling of... ahem, great luck."
When Wu Xingyun was halfway through his speech, he received warning looks from at least three of his companions, so he changed his mind and said "good luck".
Shang Chong snorted, "It's a great blessing that a car comes to pick you up just when you're tired. Why are you worrying so much? There are so many of us. Even if they want to take us away and sell us, they'll have to see if those people can afford us."
"Actually, I think those weird people still have some sense. Although they weren't particularly warm and friendly towards us, I felt that they treated us fairly and didn't have any ill intentions.
"This attitude isn't bad. If all the monsters in Exile City treat us this way, I don't think our quests will be too difficult." An adventurer spoke optimistically.
But Minister Tu, Qi Feiyu, and Wang Xiao did not respond.
That ravine is the only way to the Exiled City, which means that as long as you wait there, you can wait for all the adventurers heading to the Exiled City.
If these monsters and humans are coming for a specific target, then this approach can almost be called "catching them all in one swoop."
Once all the prey are put into the cage, it will be much easier to find that special one.
Wang Xiao gently pushed his glasses up and looked up at the sky.
As expected, it was the right choice for Wangwang to not show up, otherwise he would have been caught in the net like them.
Now it depends on what those people and weird things want to do.
As long as they want something, they will take action.
But everyone did not wait for those people and strange actions at the first time. The big train glided at high speed in the snow and moved forward steadily for a day.
During the whole process, nothing happened except that the cold snowflakes kept hitting my face.
The calmness made Wang Xiao and Minister Tu wonder if they were really overthinking it.
But soon they heard a sharp sound like a sudden brake.
Those who were sitting in the car reacted quickly and stood up, leaning over the car to look outside.
Then all the people who had stuck their heads out couldn't help but exclaim, and then they stiffened their bodies and dared not move.
"What's going on?"
"Oh my God! Are we on an ice bridge? Why did the car stop suddenly?"
"There's a damn abyss down here! Why did those people bring us here?!"
When the human adventurers in more than a dozen carriages were shocked and panicked, suddenly black vines with sharp poisonous thorns grew on the carriage without a roof.
Then, the human whose right arm had become strange stood up. He stood at the top of the first carriage, looked at the human adventurers who were glaring at him, and smiled.
"Everyone, let me reiterate, we have no ill intentions."
"We're really just doing this for our own survival in the future."
"Bringing everyone here is just for safety's sake. After all, we dare not underestimate that important figure."
"Then, human adventurer Mr. Wu Xiangwang, please come out."
The man with the strange ice-blue right arm raised his strange arm and froze the ice and snow in the canyon in an instant.
"We know we're probably no match for you, Mr. Wu, but you saved so many people in Natural City. You wouldn't want to see them all wiped out, right?"
"This ice bridge can only hold out for ten seconds after I give the order. If the car doesn't move forward after that, the bridge will collapse. Furthermore, the sharp, poisonous thorns on those vines can hold back any good adventurer for ten seconds."
"So, let's not forget each other. Come out, surrender, and take the potion in my hand. I promise to send all the humans on this car to the City of Exile!"
At this moment, the adventurers in the car finally knew the true purpose of these humans and weird things. Some of them cursed and refused to compromise, while others remained silent as if waiting for something.
Wu Xiangwang clicked his tongue above their heads.
So sometimes the way humans treat each other is even more annoying than weird, always enjoying playing tricks and using moral blackmail.
Unfortunately, Wangwang Xiannan eats everything except this!
Wu Xiangwang glanced at the already unstable ice bridge, snorted, and instantly activated the Big Tooth Ant's bloodline bonus—[King of Strength (Intermediate): The power to drag a 3,000-ton object.]
Then he jumped from the flying carpet to the first carriage of the train, kicked the giant frog that stopped and refused to move away, and directly pulled the whole car full of nervous human adventurers and confused robbers and weird humans, letting them see what strength and rebellion were.
"Come on, now repeat what you just said?"
Wu Xiangwang pulled the cart frantically while turning back and shouting, "Come on, be brave and say it again, what do you want me to do?"
The weird human who thought his plan was perfect: "..."
Fuck your sister, are you still a human being? How can you pull this car with thousands of people in it by yourself?!
The wanted poster doesn’t say how awesome you are!
The wanted order is cheating me!!
