Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 67 Bandit 1
Traveling in the wilderness is actually more boring than you think.

This is Zhang Cheng's first long-distance travel after crossing.Even if I left Kunwu City before, it was only a half-day journey, which was nothing compared to this trip.

It should be said that the conditions of Zhang Cheng's trip are still very good.He has a nice car, two nice horses, and a nice coachman.In addition, he has a very knowledgeable and funny companion.

However, even Xia An's wit was worn away during the long journey.

It is unclear whether it is due to natural conditions or other reasons. There are no human settlements on this trip.Moreover, it was almost winter, and the green above the wilderness was gradually turning into withered yellow.If "green nature" can still make people feel pleasing to the eye - although it is one thing to see too much - then there is really nothing worth mentioning in the yellow and desolate wilderness.Just that feeling of loneliness.At the end of the day, Zhang Chengcheng got tired of it.

Moreover, the physiological structure of human beings determines that sitting is the most comfortable way to travel.Standing allows you to avoid severe vibrations, but it is also easy to get tired after standing for a long time.Of course, this may also be because his physique and strength are not strong.

On the night of the first day, Zhang Cheng camped in a small depression in the wild.Although he now knows that Xia An is definitely the type who doesn't get up early when he is a guide, he has to admit that such a guide is really worth the money.Although Jia is a soldier and has been trained in camping in the wild, he is better at group camping, not the current two or three team.In fact, no matter the choice of campsite, the arrangement of the camp, or the diet, it is all done under the guidance and help of Xia An.Everything is in order.

As the bonfire crackled and burned, there was no sound between heaven and earth.Zhang Chengjing lay in his bed and remembered Xia An's expression in the morning.

Beside him, under the faint starlight, appeared a little bear the size of a kitten with golden fur.Well, under normal light conditions, the fur is yellow, but at this time, the little bear is inexplicably closer to gold.

Although the bear is "boarding" in his mind, and can maintain this state for a long time.However, when conditions permit, it is more willing to materialize it, which is considered to be active.

According to the bear, the state of the boarding mind is similar to that of a human being to maintain a position without moving - it is not difficult, but if you hold it for a long time, the mind will be paralyzed.

"Xiao Xiong, what is that 'big witch', what is it? No one dares to offend? Neither do the princes dare?" Thinking back to what Xia An said, Zhang Cheng still finds it strange.However, from Jia's reaction, this seemed to be common sense, so he didn't dare to ask at that time.

"I don't know." Little Bear didn't seem to understand either. "Your human language is always changing, and I don't know what this 'big witch' means. It seems to be a witch? Or what you call a priest or a priest? Could it be... Hao Heavenly Priest?"

"Haotian Priest?" The word reminded Zhang Cheng of a bloodline called "Haotian Bloodline" when he created a new character in the game.The highest grade of all bloodlines, the one with price points that are so expensive.One of the introductions said that the descendants of the Haotian priest would inherit the Haotian bloodline.

How expensive is Haotian bloodline?In the status options, the status of "doctor" is worth 10 points, and the price of Haotian bloodline is twice that of the status of the doctor, which is 20 points.If you understand it according to the idea of ​​"you get what you pay for", then a person with Haotian bloodline is more noble than a doctor, and can be compared with princes.According to the description, the advantage of this bloodline is that in addition to the bonus of all attributes, the favorability of NPCs on the whole map is bonus.It's a pity that although Zhang Cheng has cleared the level many times, he has never chosen this bloodline, so he doesn't know what kind of treatment a person of Haotian bloodline will encounter in the game.

"Well, I just heard a little rumor. It is said that only the gods know the real mystery." Little Bear said. "Sometimes, in a relatively accidental situation, a small amount of Haotian's power will be differentiated and merged into the sky and the earth. If it is entered into an ordinary item, then this item will become a spiritual object, if it enters the intelligent creature's body, that creature will become a priest of Haotian."

"You mean...born?"

"Born," Bear admitted.

"Then, what is so strange about the Haotian priest?"

"There's nothing strange about it. If you have to say it, it's better than ordinary people, stronger, more agile, smarter, and so on. But it's the level of the gods. It's not an exaggeration. But I don't know. Why..." Little Bear hesitated.

"how?"

"The gods seem to pay special attention to the Haotian priest," said Little Bear. "The common saying is that the priests of Haotian are people who are destined to be favored by the destiny, they are particularly honorable, and they can directly communicate with Haotian and get various revelations. Those who offend the priests of Haotian are very likely to anger Haotian and cause huge disasters. And this statement was actually tacitly accepted by the gods."

"That is to say," Zhang Cheng came to be interested. "Haotian priests can run wild, but no one dares to resist? Because as long as they resist, they will anger Haotian and bring disaster."

"It's not like that. There were a lot of Haotian priests who were killed, but I haven't heard of any catastrophe." Xiaoxiong replied hesitantly. "So I just heard some rumors, but I don't know what the truth is behind this. In short, I don't know if Haotian will bring disasters, but the gods obviously have a special preference for them. Do you know the gods?"

"I know." If nothing else, Doctor Kunwu is the descendant of Zhu Rong.Protoss are the sons of gods.The deity's father naturally cares and pets him in every possible way, and even when there is a problem, the deity will shamelessly help out in person.For example, the last time about the undead dungeon was given to Doctor Kunwu by God Zhu Rong.Away from reality, according to the game's settings, if the son chooses to be the priest of the father, there will be a lot of additional benefits.

"The gods treat Haotian priests like they treat their gods. Maybe a little bit, but not too far." Xiaoxiong replied.

If the gods like Dr. Kunwu are their own sons, then the Haotian priests are at least at the level of god-sons.Moreover, there is only one biological father on Dr. Kunwu's head, and there are a lot of godfathers on the head of Priest Haotian.After thinking about it for a while, I understand that a character like the Haotian Priest has an easy-to-understand name on Earth, called Hanging Force.

If you compare the status of Haotian priest with the status of aristocrat, one is open and the other is kryptonite.If you are not a kryptonite, you will definitely not be able to fight, and even if you are kryptonite, it will be difficult to beat the open.Because krypton gold has a limit, there is no limit to opening and hanging.

Therefore, I can fully understand why the witches occupied the Xia Ruins but no one dared to provoke them.Even the legitimate lord of the original Xia Ruins, the monarch of the Song Kingdom, a duke, did not dare to let go of a fart.

At first, Zhang Cheng didn't think much of it, but now he really wanted to meet this great witch named the witch.

Just like Dr. Kunwu.Dr. Kunwu did not appear in the game, but he proved himself to be a golden thigh with facts.So is the wizard who doesn't appear in this game another golden thigh?

The boring journey quickly entered its fourth day.

At this moment, the three-person team has completely escaped the range of people.On the first day, even if you didn't encounter a dwelling, you could still see some traces of human (or intelligent race) activity.But now it can only be said that it has completely entered the wild world.

A hill can already be seen ahead.The hill was also marked on the map, so judging from the map, they walked about a third of the way.

In other words, according to the current speed, the approximate time to arrive at the Xia Ruins is nine days.

But here, there is a conflict between the guide and the map.The path drawn on the map is obviously required to go around the edge of the hill, but Xia An thinks that it is possible to pass through the middle of the hill.He knew that the road was vehicular.If they did, they would save about a day of travel.

"Look, from this direction, the mountain is not steep, and there is a hollow in the middle, which can be passed by vehicles. Even if there are gravel or the like, it will be easy to clean up." Xia An gestured with his hands.

As I mentioned earlier, at this time from late autumn to winter, the mountain is also a withered yellow color, but you can vaguely see the path that Xia An said.However, the uphill is a bit steep after all, so all three got off the car and led the horse.

Xia An didn't lie, because after walking through the first slope, the ground became flat. Although there were all kinds of bad terrain, it was not so bad that it prevented vehicles from passing through.At noon, Zhang Cheng estimated that he had already crossed most of the hill.Not only that, they also encountered a clear spring on the mountain.Xia An and Jiadu took the opportunity to take a rest, drinking water for the three horses, and supplementing their own water bladders.

While the two of them were drinking horses, Zhang Cheng walked to a large stone on the side and looked around.There are no traces of human beings everywhere, and the world is quite vast, and it feels like "the ancients were not seen before, and the newcomers are not seen later".

"Master Zhang Cheng!" Suddenly, Xia An hurried over. "Come on!"

"Come on?" Zhang Cheng immediately realized that something was wrong. "What's wrong?"

"There is a problem here," Xia An said eagerly. "Let's leave now!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng's confused face, Xia An pointed to the distance. "Over there... around those trees, do you see it?"

Zhang Cheng looked into the distance, and indeed saw a few trees over there.But what is there to worry about with a few trees?Then Zhang Cheng noticed that unnatural thing.

At the limit of the field of vision, a few tree stumps can be seen on the edges of those trees.

Not the kind of stump formed by the decay of a big tree, but a flat, flat stump that was obviously formed after someone felled a tree.

"This is... someone here?" Zhang Cheng asked.Are there residents in this place?He didn't understand the expression on Xia An's face that could only be called "horrified".It stands to reason that as a traveling businessman like him, he should have had the consciousness to work his life for money and hang his head in his crotch.

"It's a bandit!" Xia An emphasized.Speaking of which, he also felt that this young scholar was really ignorant, and he didn't even know what this situation meant.But think about it, the other party is young and obviously has no experience of traveling far away.

"What is a robber? A savage?" Zhang Cheng asked.The "savages" of these days are not close relatives of humans on earth who do not know whether they are real or fantasy.It refers to people with low status in human society who are not even qualified to be soldiers.Those who are qualified to be soldiers are called "nationals", they are the cornerstone of the rule of lords in various places, and they have a certain political status.What the lords want to do must pay attention to the opinions of the people.And the savages can't be soldiers, and they don't even have the qualifications to speak up for themselves. They only have to obey.

"The savage is just outside of Wang Hua," Xia An said with an expression of hating iron. "The thieves are the people who refuse to accept Wang Hua! They refuse to accept!" Seeing that Zhang Cheng still didn't understand, he simply made it clear.

"The savages can do business, as long as they don't irritate them. But savages, they will kill and rob! And among savages, there are all kinds of things!" Including but not limited to a variety of monster!

"So, if the bandits find us..."

"We're dead!" Xia An emphasized and made a gesture across his neck.Savages are customers who can buy and sell - you can say they're not oily, but you can't say they're not customers - but savages, that's a naked bandit, and the most savage of the kind.

"Just a mere robber." Jia suddenly said beside him. "It's just a fugitive slave, a criminal prisoner, etc. I've seen it a lot."

"You can't underestimate the strength of bandits. There are indeed fugitive slaves, prisoners, and refugees among them. These are nothing, but there are also some witches or followers of evil gods, as well as exiled scholars, even aliens. There is no shortage of alchemists!" Xia An wanted to pry open this guy's brain to see what was inside.

As a traveling businessman, Xia An is not someone who is helpless.If he encounters an ordinary bandit group, he is still able to jump around.However, if the encounter is a thief...

You know, this is the core area of ​​Zhuxia Territory.In those marginal areas, due to the pressure of foreign races, the princes are often unable to deal with the bandits, so it is really difficult to judge the strength of bandits.But in a place like this, the only reason bandits survive is that they are strong enough.It was so strong that the princes and even the emperor's army could not take advantage.Facing an opponent of this level, Xia An didn't think he had any chance of winning.Even if he had a young scholar by his side.

Bandits are the enemies of civilized society.Such as refugees or fugitives, there may be a chance to join the bandit gang (even if they will be used as cannon fodder), but a combination of traveling merchants like them, it is estimated that they will not even have the chance to surrender.

Damn, why is there a bandit here?Or is there some other reason?Xia An thought about this question and ran quickly to the carriage.Speaking of which, he paid great attention to saving horsepower along the way, but now he can't control so much, he must leave this dangerous area quickly!
