2462 Moving forward (1)



Unknowingly, the first rays of the morning sun had appeared, and the light gradually dispelled all the darkness.

Perhaps it was because the tree Demon City Lord had died, and the ghost city's corpse monsters had lost their restraints, so in the process of leaving the city, they actually did not encounter a single monster.

He didn't need to think to know that they must have left ghost city or were killed by the cultivators in loucheng.

When the two of them reached the city gate, they happened to pass by the entrance of the inn and stopped at the same time.

"How did Yingluo become like this?"

The young man said in a trembling voice. The scene at night and in the morning were completely different.

Looking at the hotel again, it was already in ruins. There were dozens of corpses hanging on the row of trees at the entrance.

The corpse was dried and rotted. It only needed a gentle breeze to start swaying.

On the table in front of the shop, there were rotten and maggot-like dishes, and a few corpses with arrows stuck in their bodies were lying on the mottled table.

The caravan that the young man had followed was nowhere to be seen, leaving only corpses and blood on the ground.

Most of the livestock in the caravan had already been eaten by the corpse monsters. The remaining livestock were also injured and were hiding in the corner.

The young man said that the journey was long and that they should get two livestock as a means of transportation. Tang Zhen did not refuse.

Now that his strength had been sealed, the long journey was not an easy one. It was a good thing to have a carriage.

The young man entered the inn excitedly and began to rummage through the place. From his actions, it was obvious that he was not looking for livestock.

He did not see any monsters along the way, which made the young man let his guard down. The purpose of entering the hotel at this moment was actually to find some valuables.

No matter if it was a caravan that came from a long distance, or this large Inn, there would definitely be some property left behind.

However, just as he found a bag of money on the corpse, a corpse monster came out of the water tank and pressed the young man to the ground.

The young man's neck was grabbed, and he couldn't make a sound or get up. Seeing the swollen corpse monster that had been soaked in water bite him, he couldn't help but feel despair.

At this critical moment, Tang Zhen appeared in time and dealt with the corpse monster with a sword.

The young man escaped from death and hurriedly kowtowed in thanks, but was stopped by Tang Zhen's cold voice.

find yourself a weapon for self-defense. It's best if you get a set of armor. I can't appear in time every time!

Tang Zhen coldly said. The young man repeatedly nodded his head. At the same time, he used his sleeve to wipe off the stinky corpse water that had dripped onto his face. His heart was filled with lingering fear.

Running to a corpse in the yard, the young man took off the leather armor, washed it with water, and put it on.

Picking up the machete on the ground, the young man felt more confident and continued his search.

In a short while, he had made more than a dozen money bags, and the rich harvest made him smile.

Tang Zhen didn't stop the young man's actions. As the saying goes, the poor live on the road to wealth. In the future, they would definitely need to spend money in many places.

While the young man was searching around, Tang Zhen also looked around casually and found a box full of gold coins.

Tang Zhen didn't know the specific value of this currency and didn't ask the young man. Instead, he casually put it into the leather bag he had picked up.

Tang had not used this kind of leather bag that looked like a backpack for many years. Now that he could not use storage equipment, he naturally used a backpack to store items.

After another hour or so, the young man brought in three livestock that looked like horses. They were tall and strong, with two long horns on their heads that extended backward.

Because the long horn would delay riding, it was sawed off and only one foot was left, and it was polished until it was smooth and round.

Sir, these are the three horned beasts I found. They were hiding in the vegetable garden, so they were not killed by the monster.

When the young man said this, he recalled the scene he had just seen in the vegetable garden and could not help but feel nauseous.

"Hmm, not bad."

Tang Zhen nodded his head and turned over to ride on the horned beast's back. He felt extremely comfortable and did not need any saddle at all.

He just didn't know how fast this Mount was. If it performed well in all aspects, it could definitely be the main Mount for cavalry.

The young man got a few bags and placed them on the back of one of the horned beasts. Tang Zhen glanced at them and saw that they were things like tents and pots.

There was also a bag filled with rice, flour, and oil, which were obviously used as rations for the journey.

Tang Zhen quietly nodded in his heart when he saw this scene. He did indeed feel a little hungry after being tossed around for an entire night.

By right, an energy-formed body did not need to eat at all. For this to happen, it was clearly affected by some powerful force.

Even Masters of creation had to eat and rest like ordinary people after their cultivation was sealed.

This wasn't meaningless. According to Tang Zhen's guess, it should be helpful for the cultivators in loucheng to recover their strength.

Tang Zhen also had some guesses about the world he was in. It was just that he currently lacked sufficient evidence.

"Your Excellency, let's go."

The young man asked Tang Zhen after he was done.

After getting permission, he immediately rode his horned beast and led the way. He also dragged the horned beast that was carrying the supplies along.

Tang Zhen followed behind, and the two of them and the three of them officially left the ghost city.

"By the way, what's your name? is there anyone else in your family?"

Tang Zhen randomly asked as he looked at the young man walking in front. It could be considered as killing the boring time during the journey.

When the young man heard Tang Zhen's question, he quickly and respectfully replied,"Your Excellency, I don't actually have a name, but the people in the village have always called me er Gou.

I have an elder brother who is married and has a career now. I also have a younger sister at home, living with my elder brother.

Because I'm not the eldest son, I don't have any land, so I can't get a wife.

Only when they had no other choice would they follow the caravan here, hoping to earn money and start a family."

The young man sighed with emotion. He didn't expect to encounter such a bizarre and exciting thing when he went out to make a living!

"You didn't come in vain this time. At least if you want to get married again, you don't have to worry about money."

Tang Zhen said in an indifferent tone. The meaning of his words was naturally referring to the amount of money that ergou had picked up.

Er Gou smiled when he heard this, but he didn't feel nervous. This was because he knew that Tang Zhen wasn't interested in money.

If Tang Zhen needed it, he was even willing to take out all of this money in order to obtain the opportunity for Tang Zhen to impart his skills.

"My biggest wish in the past was to build a new house, buy a few pieces of land, then marry a wife and have a few children.

But now, I hope that I can be like you, my Lord, and possess great power.

Even in a place like Ghost city, you can come and go as you please!"

As Buttface spoke, his eyes were filled with a sense of longing. This kind of dream originated from the shock of learning about the existence of a new world, and it might not change for the rest of his life.

Tang Zhen nodded his head. He understood er Gou's dream, but he couldn't give him any promises.

After all, this was a brutal competition. Although he had temporarily gained some advantages, he could not guarantee that he would not be eliminated.

Of course, if there was a chance, Tang Zhen would not mind helping the young man. If the other party was able to provide him with help, he would definitely express his gratitude.

Compared to the cultivators in other battlefields, Tang Zhen was at a disadvantage in many aspects. Therefore, he had to find a way to make up for his weakness.

&Nbsp; borrowing the strength of the natives was a good idea.

However, this was not a long-term plan, because as long as there were enough monsters, the cultivators in Lou Cheng could grow rapidly.

In this aspect, the native cultivators couldn't be compared to them at all. On this land that belonged to them, they were destined to be side characters.
