2484 Encountering a monster on the road (1)
No matter what, the importance of a map was undoubted. When you needed it but couldn't get it, you would know how inconvenient it was.
If it was in the era of technology, it would be very easy to obtain a map. Whether it was a city or a place, or even a map of the entire planet, it could be easily obtained.
If it involved confidential information, the map might not show it, unless it was a special map.
The advantage of technological advancement was that many expensive things had gradually become cheap. Even ordinary people were qualified to enjoy them.
However, in this world, it was not easy to obtain a map. One had to go to a special location, and at the same time, they had to bear huge risks.
For example, there were maps of the government's Yamen and military camps. Moreover, Tang Zhen had indeed obtained some gains before this.
There should be some private maps in the hands of some special professions among the people, but the accuracy could not be guaranteed, and it was more difficult to obtain them.
There were only two ways to get the map from these people. One was to buy it with a lot of money or to Rob it.
He still needed a lot of gold coins.
Tang Zhen secretly sighed. The most useless thing to the creator had now become a necessity.
If he had known earlier, he would have worn a full set of golden armor, which could be exchanged for money. Wouldn't it be much easier that way?
ergou, you control the runic airship. I still have some things to do.
Tang Zhen called out to ergou and gave him the control of the runic airship. He then walked to the airship observation deck.
In his hands was a piece of animal skin and a reddish-brown stone pen that could be used for painting. He was looking down at the scenery and writing and drawing.
His speed was as fast as lightning, and he quickly recorded the terrain he saw and made a map.
After the drawing was completed, the pattern on the animal skin disappeared like steam, as if it had never existed.
However, on the whiteboard map in the space of consciousness, an invisible black dot appeared. When enlarged, it was the pattern that Tang Zhen had just drawn.
"It's indeed feasible!"
The corner of Tang Zhen's mouth revealed a trace of a smile. A primitive and crude map had an extremely high margin of error. How could it compare to the accurate map he had drawn?
If he couldn't even pass this, there was simply no reason.
However, this kind of map also had a drawback. The area it could accommodate was too small. If he continued to draw according to this method, Tang Zhen would only get a "line" in the end.
This "line" map was like chicken ribs, tasteless, and a pity to throw away.
However, until now, the cultivators of loucheng city who were participating in the competition were still in the state of exploration. Everyone was confused about the future development.
Under such circumstances, he needed to actively explore and constantly collect information.
If one could grasp useful information one step ahead of others, they would be able to gain an advantage in the competition. If they could maintain this advantage, they would definitely be able to stand out among the countless competitors.
so in the following journey, I can only continue to paint and will not feel bored.
If only there was a professional painter in charge of drawing the map. That way, it would be easier for me. "
As Tang Zhen thought of this, he turned to look at er Gou and found that he was seriously controlling the runic airship.
The other party was just a ruffian from the village. It was because he met her that he started a completely different life journey.
That's why there were no disabled people in this world. It was just that they had not found a position that suited them. Once they found it, their Life and Fate would completely change!
Er Gou was like this, and so was Tang Zhen. If he hadn't become a cultivator of Lou Cheng, he would have long become a skeleton in a grave.
It was even more impossible for him to roam the greater world, witness countless wonders, and control two powerful superpowers.
What is a legend? I am a legend!
……
In the following time, they continued to rush.
The runic airship was not a high-speed airship. It could not even be compared to an ordinary plane. Its speed was only a few dozen kilometers per hour.
Even so, it was still a high-speed means of transportation for the natives of this world.
The mountains and rivers on the ground were the greatest obstacles for travelers. Sometimes, they even had to take detours and waste a lot of time.
There weren't that many things to do when flying in the air. As long as they didn't encounter particularly bad weather and nothing happened to them, they could move forward.
In the process of moving towards their destination, other than drawing a map, Tang Zhen was also constantly looking for traces of monsters.
The purpose of making the runic airships was to make it easier to find monsters and to have more advantages.
Then, through the method of battle to sustain battle, he would obtain a large number of spoils of war and quickly increase his own strength.
The facts had already proven that Tang Zhen's plan was feasible. It was because of the runic airship that he could fight against thousands of elemental spirit cultivators and even retreat in one piece.
In the early stages of the competition, the runic airship was a rare weapon of war. Tang Zhen, who owned the runic airship, naturally had an advantage over ordinary cultivators.
Even though his cultivation was sealed, Tang Zhen's experience was still present. Just by using his eyes to observe, he was able to see where the problem was.
When they passed by a pile of ruins, Tang Zhen suddenly stopped the brush in his hand and indicated for ergou to stop moving forward.
Even though he didn't understand what Tang Zhen wanted to do, Buttface still controlled the runic dirigible and slowly stopped it above the ruins.
When he arrived at Tang Zhen's location, he immediately saw the scene below and knew why Tang Zhen had stopped.
It turned out that in the ruins that looked like an ancient castle below, there were a few figures trapped on the top of the dilapidated building. Judging from their clothes, they were probably adventurers.
The monsters around them were tall and looked like a combination of monsters and humans. They were armed with armor and looked extremely fierce.
Er Gou had heard more than once about adventurers. They were bold because of their skills, and they wandered in dangerous areas all day long.
If one left and didn't return for a long time, then it was very likely that one would never return and die in the wilderness.
The adventurers in the ruins were in the same situation. They were trapped by a large number of monsters.
Looking at their appearance, it was clear that they couldn't hold on for a long time. They were just barely holding on.
"Your Excellency, are you going to save them?"
Er Gou asked Tang Zhen after taking a look.
I'm going to kill monsters. Saving people is just a bonus. You have to be clear about your priorities.
Tang Zhen slowly said. His tone did not contain any emotion.
"What's the Difference?"
Er Gou didn't understand. However, his brain was very good and he quickly understood Tang Zhen's meaning.
If not for the existence of the monster, Tang Zhen might not have stopped. What did the life and death of a group of adventurers have to do with him?
As the two of them were talking, the adventurers on the ground had also noticed them. At first, they were shocked by the appearance of the runic airships, but then their eyes were filled with hope.
They raised their heads and waved their hands, shouting for help at the sky.
Tang Zhen simply ignored those adventurers. Instead, he simply packed his things and walked to the cabin door.
After estimating the distance to the ground and leaving enough rope, Tang Zhen jumped down from the air.
Just as he was about to fall to the ground, the rope suddenly tightened and pulled the falling Tang Zhen.
If it was a body of flesh and blood, this pull would definitely break a limb. However, for an energy body, it would not have much of an impact.
"Swish!"
A cold light flashed. At the same time Tang Zhen jumped down, the longsword in his hand directly slashed at the monster in front of him.
The monster that was more than three meters tall was split in half by Tang Zhen's sword. Colorful things lay on the ground.
"Bang!"
Tang Zhen, who had landed on the ground, slowly raised his head. The corner of his mouth revealed a trace of an unexpected smile.
The energy reward for killing monsters was surprisingly rich. It seemed like he had picked up a treasure.
