There are seven countries in the Great Wilderness. The Academy has the least contact with the Goulong Bang clan. They were built on barren land. The only specialty is the brave and warlike people. What is passed down from generation to generation is a few vicious and dirty words without humor. There are very few cowards here. The warlike folks make the whole country despise such useless existence. They are aggressive and combative. They advocate force the most and can even use force to overthrow the law. In this regard, even the Southern Business Empire dare not compare.

The Gou Longbang clan also has an almost abnormal self-esteem, which may be because the country has not been valued for a long time, which makes them feel inferior in their hearts, so they have to compete for superiority and respect in everything. If Xia Xiao and the other four directly enter the royal palace of the Gou Longbang clan, it will definitely cause a storm.

Therefore, they fell from the talisman formation and appeared ten miles outside the city.

As soon as they landed, the mother star dragon and Ganar became alert as if by reflex, scanning the surroundings with their eyes and sensing the eight directions with their vital energy.

Goulongbangshi has a vast territory and a sparse population. I don't know how many people died in this grassland. Some died in party and political disputes, some died in horse thieves' robbery, and the worst were women. They were robbed of their money and inevitably raped. This grassland is not kind to the weak, and it is even more disrespectful to women. The so-called survival of the fittest is perfectly reflected here, not only in the big forest.

"This is the world of barbarians. Whenever we leave the city, there will be bandits. If we are not cultivators, I'm afraid we will not be able to escape."

Xia Xiao understood what Mother Star Dragon meant. These bandits were beyond the law, and no one could control them. Although the Gou Longbang clan had a unique way of cultivation, what they yearned for was never the peace and stability of the country, but the fertile land and fresh grass outside.

The Goulong Bang clan went to war more than once because of the issue of horse thieves. Domestic issues became the absurd reason for their war. Who wants to be a thief? Who wants to live on horseback? But they had no choice, because the land was too barren. They longed for fertile land and endless food. This was their reason, but the Goulong Bang clan's special country was surrounded by forests in the west, the sea in the east and north, and only the southern Daxia had fertile farmland.

The Daxia national style is strict and never gives up an inch of land. The two countries have fought countless wars. They have calmed down for many years and it is unknown when they will make a comeback. The only thing that Daxia can be thankful for is that they will not surrender to the Southern Merchants. Otherwise, with the combined efforts of the Northwest, Daxia will usher in the true doomsday and destruction.

The footprints of Xia Xiao and others were left on this dirty yellow grassland. But soon, the sound of horse hooves broke into their ears.

“It’s really here.”

Xia Xiao shook his head slightly, with a hint of provocation. To deal with these rabble, he didn't need a machete, but it drank, so Xia Xiao satisfied it, since they were all dirty guys anyway.

"I don't know what kind of auspicious day it is today, but you came anyway, and there are so many of them."

Xia Xiao was excited because Pu Dao was already trembling like a hungry ghost seeing food. But there was a bucket of cold water about to be poured down beside him, making Pu Dao unwilling.

"The reason these bandits are able to get away with it is either because they have the support of powerful practitioners or because they are related to ministers and generals of the royal court. We are going to ask about the matter, so we should not interfere."

Xia Xiao gritted his teeth and suppressed the bloody smell of the Pudao. When his master gave him the Pudao, he had a good scabbard. Although it was the same black iron color as the scabbard he made, it helped to keep the Pudao stable. Unlike this steel scabbard, no matter how hard it was, it was torn by the Pudao. Since he lost the scabbard, he has changed countless times.

Since they couldn't get involved, they continued to walk towards the royal palace. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang walked to the middle of the team and could feel that something was wrong with Janaer. She was in a bad mood and her eyes were blank. Shu Shuang glanced at her but couldn't comfort her.

Most things in the world are the same. The comfort of others is useless. You have to digest it yourself. After all, the advice of others can only persuade your mouth and words. It is a sentence of "I know, I have figured it out". Although your own advice is silent, it may really move your heart.

The clatter of horses' hooves kicked up dirt and grass. The soil on this grassland was very dark in color, and it was unclear whether it was stained with too much blood or was a vicious curse from the heavens.

The cavalry was getting closer, and there was a strong smell of blood that Xia Xiao was most familiar with!

Under the bright glare of swords and chaotic shouting, there are sunburned faces, like smelly dog ​​shit piled on the street. They are not like thieves, without veils and black clothes, but just like ordinary people, wrapped in dirty and smelly cotton jackets. The horse thieves' eyes are red, probably because business is not good in winter, they have been squatting here for a long time, waiting to rob money, and then eat, drink, whore, gamble.

Xia Xiao guessed correctly. This grassland had not been visited by civilians for a long time. They had spent all their money. They were all horse thieves. How could they think of saving money? But what could they take away from him? Xia Xiao thought about it carefully. Maybe it was his injuries. The senior did not allow killing, but he did not say that he could not beat people.

When Xia Xiao glanced at the bandit leader, the burly man felt a little scared. He had been traveling the grassland for so many years, but he had never seen such a look. What are the identities of these outsiders? Don't they know who the master behind them is? Even if the master stopped supplying them now, they are still related!

"Boss, that girl is so hot!"

Someone shouted, and immediately there was laughter. This group of shameless horse thieves had a leisurely time in winter, and besides eating meat and drinking, they talked about the most satisfying women they had slept with in the past year. In their hearts, women were nothing but tools to vent their anger, so they spoke lightly and in a frivolous tone.

Xia Xiao's face changed in the eyes of the burly man. He could no longer tolerate someone touching his forbidden food. The man was about to turn around and scold his ignorant younger brothers. It was obvious that these four people were not ordinary people, and they might even be cultivators. But before he could open his mouth, Xia Xiao disappeared.

Xia Xiao was extremely fast, creating a gust of wind that made the man's heart tremble. How powerful of a practitioner could this be?

There were fifty people in the horse team, but the mother star dragon that was surrounded did not stop. Although these guys could not be killed, it was not worth his stopping. The man had no time to care about them, because one of his brothers had been knocked off the horse, blinded, and screamed on the grassland, the sound was like a pig being slaughtered, extremely miserable.

Xia Xiao stood up without saying a word, and the scroll in his backpack made a very low collision sound.

"Boss, this guy is a cultivator, kill him now!"

When the horse thief roared, the man hesitated to move, because Xia Xiao's hand movement was the handprint to tear open the contract space. He was a horse thief, relying on the condensed seed to do whatever he wanted, but in front of the cultivator of the Venerable Realm, he still did not dare to be presumptuous.

Ju Mang, a man with a human face and a bird body, startled the horse thieves, but they did not realize the seriousness of the matter and even gestured with their weapons.

"Just teach them a lesson, don't let anyone get killed."

Xia Xiao looked disgusted and added another sentence.

"Don't show mercy either."

"That's really giving me a hard time."

Ju Mang shook his head and joked, and after Xia Xiao left, he exuded a breath of air.

Flapping his wings, Xia Xiao returned to Shu Shuang. Behind him, horses neighed and people screamed for mercy, even calling for grandpa and daddy. They wanted to fly over and lick Ju Mang's claws to let him let them go. But this interesting game was taught to him by Xia Xiao.

Fifty bandits were blown up by the wind and rushed into the sky very quickly. Then the wind stopped and they fell down suddenly. After repeating this cycle for only one time, the bandits began to have stomach churning and vomiting, almost vomiting out their intestines. The previous miserable sounds filled the entire grassland, but no one would pity them.

Ju Mang was curious. Xia Xiao said that people in his original world used to treat this behavior as a game. Ordinary people dare to play like this, they are really brave. Xia Xiao actually didn't understand. People only have one life, why not cherish it. Maybe he didn't have the spirit of adventure, maybe he was too afraid of death.

When the wind died down, it was almost dusk. Fifty horse thieves sat on the grassland, vomiting bile, and their lives were worse than death. Their horses were scared away by Ju Mang. If they were not careful tonight, they would be taken away by wild wolves. They thought today was a day to eat meat, but they didn't expect to eat meat with animals. The worst was the man who lost his eyes. He lay on the ground, thinking it was dark.

"Has this grassland always been so barren?"

We were almost at the imperial capital of Goulong Bang clan. A corner of a city was revealed, which was incomparable to Zhenxun.

All along the way, there were barren grasslands. Although it was not to the point where no grass grew, I was afraid that the soil would not be able to grow good radishes and cabbages.

"This used to be a fertile land, but the people of Goulongbang clan didn't farm scientifically. Even though we tried our best to persuade them, they wouldn't listen. They were so stubborn. If they had listened, this wouldn't have happened."

Mother Star Dragon and Ganar didn't know these things, so they were curious.

"The Pope is very experienced. You must have learned a lot from him, right?"

Shu Shuang nodded obediently and mentioned the past inadvertently.

"I tried to persuade many people, but they were rude to me, saying that it was their own land and they should make their own decisions, and that they didn't need outsiders to make irresponsible remarks."

Shu Shuang shrugged her shoulders lightly, seeming helpless. She disliked the Goulongbang clan the most. The people there were too arrogant and unreasonable. But this sentence shocked Xia Xiao, and Mother Star Dragon and Janaer also looked at him again.

"Have you been here before?"

"Yeah! I have a vague impression of it. I was still a kid at that time."

Shu Shuang's voice was very soft, as soft and sweet as before. But Xia Xiao's forehead was covered with black lines. Geological changes would take at least decades or even hundreds of years. Shu Shuang had been here before, so how could she be only sixteen years old like him now?

Could it be... related to Shu Shuang's life experience?

Xia Xiao thought of this again, but in the Holy Spring, Shu Shuang was still Shu Shuang. And Shu Shuang had lived for so long, how could she be a young noble? Mysteries kept coming to Xia Xiao, making him panic.

Suddenly, it was dark. The dusk disappeared in an instant, leaving only darkness, like a night without stars or moon, pitch dark, as if there were ghosts and gods at work.

This darkness made Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang feel uneasy, it was not the first time they had seen it!
