The scale of the market town on the Black Ice Field is much smaller than outside. Looking around, there are only a few thousand people in total.
Although there are few people, everyone is very enthusiastic. When they see Captain Tang leading the team back, they greet them enthusiastically. When they see strangers, they ask questions.
Tang Bing said, "Several seniors got lost on the Black Ice Field and happened to be met by us."
When they heard that it was the seniors, the faces of these cultivators who came to greet them became less casual and more polite.
Although everyone is very enthusiastic now, Black Ice is originally a place where the weak are preyed on by the strong, and they don't want to easily offend powerful cultivators.
Feng Ming and his party looked around the market town curiously. Compared with other places, this place seemed much more idle. The shops on both sides of the road were also very quiet. Everything here seemed to have slowed down.
But many of the cultivators here had a fierce aura. It was obvious that they often ventured on the black ice field. Most of them were in the Soul Opening Realm and Fusion Realm. Captain
Tang and his party only stayed in this town for a few months every year. Their residence was also temporary. After asking Feng Ming and his party about their requirements for accommodation, he simply took them to his residence and rented a yard next to it for them.
The town had a small population, so there were relatively many houses, and it was easy to rent a house.
It just so happened that Feng Ming and his party also wanted to ask the Tang siblings for more information, so they lived next to each other.
At the same time, during this journey, Feng Ming and his team also realized that the time they entered the Black Ice Field was not the worst time.
There are two or three months every year when the black hurricane on the Black Ice Field is the strongest.
The hurricane is also mixed with space cracks. Even the most powerful Nirvana Realm masters on the continent may not dare to go deep into the Black Ice Field.
So during this period of time, the Tang siblings and team members will leave the Black Ice Field and live outside.
There is also a restaurant in the town. In order to thank Captain Tang and his team for leading the way for them and introducing these situations, Feng Ming invited them to dine in the restaurant.
Tang Bing was very happy, and the others did not refuse. In fact, they were also very curious about the outside world.
In the restaurant, Feng Ming asked a curious question: "You are so yearning for the outside world, so have you ever thought about leaving Black Ice Continent to go out and wander around?"
Tang Bing waved his hand and said, "It's not a question of whether or not I want to, but it's impossible. The ticket price for the shuttle ship that can leave Black Ice Continent and go to other worlds is sky-high.
Senior Feng doesn't know that there are actually several shuttle ships that come to our Black Ice Continent every year, which are dedicated to this business, but a ticket costs 10,000 high-quality yuan.
"We may not be able to earn this amount of Yuan Crystals even if we work for a hundred years without eating or drinking on the Black Ice Field, so how can we dare to dream of such a good thing? Only those cultivators with rich wealth can afford this price." Long
Kui was also shocked when he heard it, and blurted out: "Then if I get a shuttle ship, I can sell tickets to take people to other worlds. Wouldn't it be profitable for a round trip?" "
One person is 10,000 high-grade Yuan Crystals, and one trip carries a thousand people. Wouldn't it be 10 million high-grade Yuan Crystals? If you run ten times, that's 100 million.
Feng Ming also felt that this business was too profitable. If he didn't have the ability to refine medicine, he would have wanted to try this business.
Captain Tang laughed and said, "Although the ticket price is high, I heard that the cost of building this shuttle is also very high. The cultivators escorted on the ship need to be powerful people in the high-level fusion realm, and there are great risks on the way to other worlds. The high ticket price is reasonable."
Even so, Long Kui and other dragons still felt that this business was extremely easy to do, and they were eager to make a move.
Isn't it just to get a shuttle ship here? They don't have one, so can't they rob one?
If there is no other place, the space pirates of Dark Owl must have it.
The key is that this is a long-term business, and they can mobilize other dragons in the tribe to do it together.
Long Zhang and others were also very proud in their hearts. Look, they have discovered such a way to make money for the tribe.
Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo were generous and ordered the best wine and food from the restaurant. Captain Tang and his men were usually reluctant to spend money.
Just the jar of the best special spiritual wine, Bingyan Wine, on the Black Ice Field cost ten top-grade Yuan crystals per jar, and Feng Ming let them drink as much as they wanted.
Long Kui and his men directly poured wine from the jar into their mouths. Not to mention the others, Long Kui and his men drank a full twenty jars.
Looking at the empty jars, Captain Tang and his men were a little scared.
But Feng Ming kept his word and he could afford this little Yuan crystal.
When they left the restaurant after eating and drinking to their heart's content, the restaurant's shopkeeper personally escorted them out, and looked at them with a smile on his face as they left.
On the way back to their residence, they suddenly heard a commotion coming from the front. Judging from the movement, it seemed that many more cultivators had entered the town.
Tang Bing caught an acquaintance and asked, "Who has come to the town? What's causing such a big commotion?"
The man replied, "Don't you know? It's Night Owl's people who have come."
After saying that, the cultivator left in a hurry.
Captain Tang and the others immediately changed their expressions, and said to Feng Ming and the others, "Let's hurry back and try not to bump into these people."
Feng Ming looked over there curiously, but didn't see anything special, but thought these people were not good people.
They did not argue with Captain Tang and the others, and continued to walk back as they were told.
On the way, Feng Ming and the others did not need to ask, Tang Bing took the initiative to talk about the situation of the Night Owl.
"There are several major forces on the Black Ice Plain. Some major forces only enter the Black Ice Plain to hunt and find good things, but there are also forces that do everything, including robbing other cultivators. Among them, the force called Night Owl is the most notorious, and no cultivator is willing to provoke them."
Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo looked at each other. Is there any relationship between this Night Owl and Dark Owl? Or is Night Owl the Dark Owl?
Long Kui also thought so, and sent a voice transmission to Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo to ask about the relationship between the two.
Feng Ming asked, "Has this Night Owl force always existed? Or did it emerge from somewhere? Where is their base camp?"
Tang Bing said, "The Night Owl has existed for a long time. At least, when we first came to the Black Ice Field, the Night Owl already existed.
Their base camp is deep in the Black Ice Field, and no one can find it. The Nirvana realm masters outside will not interfere in the affairs of the Black Ice Field.
Therefore, the cultivators of this force have always acted rampantly. This time they came here, I'm afraid they are here to collect protection fees from our town."
Feng Ming and his party felt more and more that the Night Owl might be the Dark Owl. Look at them, they are exactly the same.
They didn't run into any Night Owl members until they got back to their residence. Captain Tang and the others breathed a sigh
of relief, said goodbye to Feng Ming and his party, and went into their own yards. In fact, Feng Ming and his party didn't want to rest. Feng Ming said, "I'll send Miyoudie to follow them first to see what they are doing and whether they are suspicious."
"No problem."
Feng Ming released Miyoudie. The town was not large, so Miyoudie could easily find the group of people and hide behind them.
Not long after, Feng Ming received a message from Miyoudie and was surprised: "These people really came here to collect protection fees. It can be seen that the people in the town don't want to provoke them and are bargaining with them."
Bai Qiaomo shook his head and contacted Captain Tang and others. He felt that it was not easy for cultivators to make a living on the Black Ice Field. The death rate of cultivators entering the Black Ice Field was not low.
These cultivators may die in the harsh environment of the Black Ice Field, or they may die at the hands of their peers. Even so, they are still oppressed by forces like the Night Owl.
This wait lasted until it was completely dark, and the outside of the town fell into darkness. Many lighting fixtures were lit in the town. After eating and drinking, the people of the Night Owl finally found a place to spend the night.
Feng Ming and his party quietly left the yard where they lived without alarming their neighbors. It was better not to let them get involved in such things.
Long Kui and the others were very happy to do such a bad thing. They followed Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo and hid their bodies and shuttled through the alleys in the town.
Even if they met other cultivators on the road, those cultivators did not even notice the flow of air.
The town was particularly quiet this night because of the arrival of Ye Xiao and his party.
In the past, there were cultivators active outside, but tonight there was nothing particularly urgent,
so everyone stayed in their own rooms. Although the town has a rule that cultivators entering the town are not allowed to take action, how could Ye Xiao's people abide by such rules? If someone ran into Ye Xiao, his death would be in vain.
The courtyard where Ye Xiao's people lived was much more spacious than Feng Ming's. Although they activated the formation, the level of this formation was really not high. Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo's soul power could easily penetrate in without alarming the people inside.
There were more than a dozen people living in it, and they brought back wine, drinking and talking loudly.
“It’s impossible that a dragon really came to this black ice field. Maybe it mistook a tornado for a dragon.”
“No matter how bad one’s eyesight is, it’s impossible that one can’t tell the difference between a tornado and a dragon. Maybe a real dragon has drifted here. No matter what, we have to go into the black ice field and look carefully. That’s a dragon. The dragon blood, dragon bones, dragon scales and dragon tendons on its body would be worth so many crystals if sold.”
Long Kui’s soul power also followed Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo to eavesdrop. He didn’t expect to hear such explosive content as soon as he came in. Long Kui almost exploded on the spot.
Feng Ming comforted him in a very careless way: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. When people like this discover the existence of dragons, they must have only this idea. Besides, it's just their delusion. Fellow Daoist Long is not someone who will let them slaughter him."
Long Kui clenched his fist and waved it inward: "Of course, I will smash them into meat paste later."
Someone discovered the figure of a dragon on the black ice field. Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo really didn't think it was strange, and they had already prepared for this.
But they didn't expect that the first to discover it were the people of Night Owl. This group of people was suspected to overlap with Dark Owl. It must be said that both sides had good luck.
Bai Qiaomo smiled and said, "Let me set up a formation first. After that, Fellow Daoist Long can do whatever he wants."
"Well, I can't wait any longer."
Feng Ming and his party didn't want to alarm other cultivators in the town, so Bai Qiaomo set up a formation to trap the yard first, and then go in and make a scene, and the noise won't be heard.
