The city walls, hundreds of meters high, stretch from the mountains into the distance.
It is said that the entire section of the Great Wall is three thousand kilometers long, extending all the way to the sea, connecting with the mountains, and directly separating the two continents.
Compared with its length, its height is even more exaggerated, reaching a full hundred meters.
The foundation must be very thick to support a city wall of such height. The ancient city walls on Earth were mostly seven or eight meters high, and the city walls of the capital were only a dozen meters high.
"Teacher, where are we going?"
The city is very big. Raya has lived in the village since she was a child. Before this, the largest gathering place she had ever seen was Sandstone Town, and the scale of Fortress City is much larger than Sandstone Town.
Raya didn't know what to do for a moment, and she started asking Lu Chengchuan when she got nervous.
"Come with me, we will be staying here for a long time."
The first priority at the moment was to find a place to live, preferably close to the city wall. He had received a lot of money from the Blood Swordsman, so renting a house was not a problem.
Walking into the city, Lu Chengchuan randomly pulled someone over on the street
"Brother, please tell me if there is any house for rent over there."
He also didn't know if there were any real estate agents or landlords renting out houses in the other world. Logically speaking, as long as there was a way to make money, someone would try it.
"Rent a house? Go to the Quartermaster's Office near the city gate. There's a notice next to it. Go and see it yourself. Just walk along the avenue and you'll see the city gate."
The man glanced at him and pointed toward the city gate.
"Thank you." Lu Chengchuan said thank you and took Raya towards the city gate.
This is Fortress City No. 1, which ranks first among the seven fortress cities in terms of area. The avenue is crowded with people, most of whom are super-powered mercenaries who come to earn bounties, as well as various businessmen.
We walked along the main road and arrived at the city gate two hours later.
There was a huge city gate, and next to it was a heavily guarded military camp. The quartermaster's office that the man mentioned was right next to the camp.
"Hurry up! Don't block the road, hurry up."
Soldiers were shouting in front, and a group of mercenaries were taking characteristic organs removed from monsters in exchange for commissions. There were even more people at the door of the quartermaster's office.
Fortunately, there were not many people at the bulletin board. Lu Chengchuan walked over and quickly found the notice of a house for rent.
"Let's go rent a house first, and we can talk about other things later."
The two walked to the side. The military camp was the area closest to the city wall. Further out was a residential area. The house for rent listed in the notice was here, and the price was extremely expensive.
Fortunately, Lu Chengchuan is rich, and the Blood Swordsman is notorious, and he has saved a lot of money over the years.
In addition, he had made many enemies and had no fixed residence. All his savings were carried on him, which directly benefited Lu Chengchuan.
After talking with the owner for more than ten minutes, I finally managed to rent the house.
"You practice here for the next few days. I'll go outside and see what's going on."
The situation outside is unknown, so Lu Chengchuan goes to take a look first. If it is too dangerous, he doesn't plan to take Raya out.
Raya followed her teacher's instructions and cleaned up the house before finding a place to rest. Lu Chengchuan was not idle either. He went out to see what was happening outside the city wall.
“If you don’t have a manual, come and get one. Don’t miss out on earning commission.”
At the city gate, a group of soldiers were guarding it. Next to them was a table with a pile of books on it.
Lu Chengchuan went up to get a book. The book had no name. He opened it and found an introduction to the various monsters. It gave a brief description of the monsters' levels and strengths, with illustrations and a focus on what items on them could be used to claim the bounty.
The soldiers shouted from time to time, and a large number of mercenaries walked out of the city gate. They did not stop the crowd from leaving.
The world outside is beyond the reach of humans. Only those super-powered mercenaries are willing to go out. Ordinary people will not survive long if they go out.
Outside the city wall, the road became narrower.
A few kilometers further, Lu Chengchuan saw a small fortress filled with soldiers. They were monitoring the movements of monsters and would issue an early warning if a large number of monsters attacked the fortress.
Beyond the fortress is the real monster world.
Many super-powered mercenaries travel in groups, and there are also many lone travelers like Lu Chengchuan.
Outside the fortress was a vast wilderness. After leaving the path, the mercenaries scattered. Lu Chengchuan continued to move forward. In less than half an hour, Lu Chengchuan suddenly stopped.
As soon as he stopped, the soil under his feet suddenly cracked and a huge insect broke out from under his feet.
The huge mouth with circles of sharp teeth opened, and was about to swallow Lu Chengchuan in the next second.
Lu Chengchuan dodged to the side, leaving the giant insect vulnerable. Before it could burrow back into the ground, a blood-red longsword slashed at it, slicing through its hard scales and tearing apart the fragile flesh beneath.
The next second, the giant insect, struggling in pain, was pulled out by an invisible force.
The giant insect, which was nearly twenty meters long, was pulled out forcibly. Without waiting for it to resist, Lu Chengchuan directly killed it with his soul-capturing technique.
The dead giant insect was still struggling and only stopped after a few minutes.
Lu Chengchuan dissected the giant insect, took out the crystals inside, and then took out the book to look through it.
After searching for a while, he found the description of the giant insect.
The name of this thing is very simple, it is called the drill worm, a third-level monster. In addition to the energy crystal, the most valuable thing is its entire spine.
This bug has a spine, unlike the bugs on Earth which are invertebrates.
After seeing the insect's bounty, Lu Chengchuan lost interest. This thing was too big, and its spine was probably almost twenty meters long. He didn't want to walk forward with a spine.
Leaving this place and moving forward, in less than half an hour, he encountered more than a dozen monsters.
The monsters had dog heads, bone spurs on their backs, and were larger than Earth buffaloes. When they saw Lu Chengchuan, they howled and ran towards him.
These monsters are not very powerful and can only be hunted in groups.
Lu Chengchuan didn't despise them. To him, they were all lifespans. He would accept the monsters if they came to him.
He raised his hand, and the power of the soul-stealing technique fell on a dozen dog-headed monsters. The monster in the front opened its mouth, and its sharp fangs were trying to tear flesh.
The next moment, the soul-capturing technique erupted, and all the monsters let out a howl and fell to the ground.
With more than two years of life in hand, Lu Chengchuan drew out his sword and took out the crystals in their bodies one by one, and also took out their canine teeth, which were the evidence for collecting the bounty.
Lu Chengchuan put the canine tooth into his backpack and continued walking deeper into the wilderness.
He wanted to find those powerful monsters. Low-level monsters only gave him a short lifespan. If he couldn't make up for it in numbers, it would be more time-saving to kill high-level monsters.
Ten days later, in the vast wilderness, Lu Chengchuan kept walking, and he himself didn't even know where he was going.
He walked cautiously through a patch of grass. The weeds here were very lush, many of them taller than a person, and he couldn't see anything. He must have had some mental power, otherwise he wouldn't have entered such a place.
