After Gu Qingxi separated from Jueming, he let the flying boat fly forward slowly on its own, and flipped through the introduction of the Nether Swamp in the Yuanzhen Continent Atlas.
The Nether Swamp is located at the westernmost part of the southern border. As for how big it is, the map does not mark it. In other words, no one has explored the Nether Swamp completely, so there is no complete map.
There are towns not far from the Nether Swamp, but they are very scattered. To get to the Nether Swamp, you must first pass through these inhabited mountains, then pass through a forest in the water, and then the Nether Swamp.
This mountain is called the Nether Mountain. The mountains are rugged and steep, but human wisdom can always convince the world. In these mountains, humans have dug out a lot of flat land for living. Some residents even just climb up and down a thick vine to get up and down the house. Some have built a plank road along the edge of the cliff, which looks very dangerous.
What Gu Qingxi didn't expect was that in such a remote place, there are actually inns and Wanbaolou opened by the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce.
The scale of the Wanbao Building here is not smaller than that of some Wanbao Buildings in small cities, but the construction of this Wanbao Building is very novel.
This building is five stories high and is built around a huge tree. The center of the tree is not completely hollowed out, only half of it is dug out, so the tree is still lush and green.
Gu Qingxi curiously went in and took a look around, and found that most of the things sold inside were various herbs and materials that were very common in other cities. The output of the Nether Swamp only accounted for a small part here.
Gu Qingxi immediately understood that the things produced by the Nether Swamp should not be sold at a high price because there is no shortage here, so they naturally have to be transported to other cities for sale.
When Gu Qingxi was strolling, a waiter greeted her warmly: "Is this your first time in the Nether Swamp? If you want to enter the Nether Swamp, you have to cross the underwater forest first. I suggest you buy a water boat. Because once you enter the underwater forest, the spiritual power of the cultivators is suppressed, and it is more laborious to fly through it with a sword.
The water in the underwater forest is dark and sticky, and ordinary swimming tools are not easy to use. Our water boats are made of trees in the underwater forest and can float easily on the water.
And the girl can use the water boat to cross the underwater forest and collect some medicinal herbs that are only available in the underwater forest.
After entering the Nether Swamp, it is recommended to buy this kind of impulse vehicle, which is very convenient for traveling in the swamp." After
hearing this, Gu Qingxi asked the waiter if he could show it to her.
The waiter took out a water boat and an impulse vehicle and showed them to Gu Qingxi.
Gu Qingxi was a little surprised when she saw it. The water boat is very ordinary, just a flat boat with a very light hull, which is indeed very convenient to travel.
But the impulse vehicle surprised Gu Qingxi. Because the shape of this ram vehicle is very similar to a motorcycle! It's just that there are no wheels underneath, but a relatively large floating board. Driven by spirit stones, it can float in low-lying stagnant water and travel on mud. This simple land and water transportation tool opened Gu Qingxi's eyes.
This ram vehicle is so similar to a motorcycle, is it also related to the great man who has been to the earth? Gu Qingxi couldn't help guessing in his heart.
Gu Qingxi bought these two tools without saying a word. He bought some things at the suggestion of the waiter, and then left Wanbaolou and walked around this small town.
The mortals here are simple and honest, and they mainly rely on hunting and gathering for a living. As the saying goes, live by the mountain and eat by the mountain, live by the water and eat by the water, the residents of Youming Mountain live by Youming Mountain.
The residents of this town can buy things with gold and silver, but they can also barter.
The place with the most traffic is on a flat ground, and the roads here are all dirt roads, without stone roads. On both sides of the road are simple and sparse wooden fences, which means that there is a road inside the fence and various vegetation outside the fence.
Gu Qingxi stood by the fence and looked at the various strange plants outside. Some are huge mushrooms, so big that she can stand under the mushrooms to avoid the rain. However, the cap of this mushroom is red, so it must be poisonous. Otherwise, how can such a large and edible mushroom grow safely on the roadside?
Some are clusters of plants similar to reeds, but much taller than reeds. Some are low trees, covered with various vines, and the vines are full of colorful flowers. There are big butterflies flying around the vines to collect nectar.
There are two restaurants in the center of the town. It’s better to say that it’s a small stall than a restaurant. Because it’s just a shed on the roadside with a few tables.
Gu Qingxi found a small stall, sat down, and asked the boss to serve his specialty.
The boss was a little surprised that there would be a monk coming to eat at his place. But he still served the dishes quickly and skillfully.
There are cured deer meat, pheasant meat with sauce, mushroom soup, and an unknown vegetable similar to fern. Gu Qingxi ate slowly and chatted with the boss while eating, because she was the only customer at the stall.
"Immortal, do the dishes taste to your taste?" The boss was a simple and honest man with a pale skin. This is not surprising. The sun is not seen in the Nether Mountain all year round, and most people here have moist and fair skin.
"It tastes very good." Gu Qingxi replied with a smile. In fact, these game meats are not very delicious, but they retain the original flavor of the ingredients. The mushroom soup is also quite delicious.
"I only set up a stall here three days a month, and today is the second day. On these three days of each month, people from the surrounding villages come here to buy things or exchange items. It's afternoon now, and everyone has dispersed. If the Immortal comes early tomorrow, it will be more lively here." The boss said with a smile, "My home is up there, not far away, so I come here to set up a stall every month to make some money."
The boss pointed to his home.
Gu Qingxi looked up and saw that the boss's house was on a mountain wall. A large area was hollowed out there and several houses were built there. There was a plank road leading to his house. There was a thick vine on the edge of the platform in front of his house. When he wanted to go down, he could just grab the vine and slide down.
"Is it very strenuous every time you go up and down?" Gu Qingxi asked casually.
"I'm used to it. People here are very good at climbing vines. If I don't carry anything, I will climb up along the vines, which is much faster than walking on the plank road. The World Chamber of Commerce will also help us reinforce the vines every year to prevent us from getting into trouble. The boss of the World Chamber of Commerce is a good person." The boss said with a smile.
Gu Qingxi was even more curious after hearing this. The World Chamber of Commerce involved a wide range of areas, which was somewhat unexpected.
