Chapter 793 Battle Fortress

The person who came to question Tang Zhao was a young man, tall and round, wearing leather armor and a thick leather coat. At first glance, he looked like a stag galloping towards him.

Tang Zhao knew that this was the normal attire of the residents of Taiyin Territory. The days in Taiyin Territory were short and the nights were long, the temperature was low, and the yin energy was thick, which made people feel very uncomfortable, so ordinary people also wore very thick clothes. Looking at the leather coat on this person, the leather was very thick and tough, and it was not comparable to ordinary beast skins. Most of them were fierce beast skins. In the human world, this was a precious material, but it should be common here.

Seeing that the other party came with such force, if it were Tang Zhao back then, he would have been a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained to others. However, after many experiences, Tang Zhao has already experienced it, and he calmly transferred the information of "Taiyin Ting" to him. He took out the lantern and said politely: "This fellow is here to invite you. I am not a bad person, but just came from out of town. I am looking for something here. I have been certified and I have no bad intentions." He explained in detail a few more times. In one sentence, he mentioned that he wanted to find a guide with a very gentle attitude. Coupled with his demeanor and face, most people would not feel any hostility.

Upon hearing the words "Tai Yin Ting", the other party's expression became complicated. He was obviously relieved, but also a little disgusted. Obviously, although the Taiyin Court is legal and noble, it is not popular among the people. At least the villages with the white poles are disgusted with Taiyinting's increasing inaction, inability to resist, and even peace with the devil, which can be called a "human rape" organization.

The man looked at Tang Zhao and said, "Young man, do you have your sword?"

Tang Zhao was startled, and took out the sword from his sleeve. The sword was bright as if there was sunlight flowing through it, and said: "Does this fellow want to confiscate my sword? I'm sorry that I can't cooperate, the sword is with me."

The man was obviously a little happy when he saw the sword, and said: "How can a swordsman surrender his sword without you surrendering it? It just proves that you are still a human swordsman. It seems that you are indeed a real swordsman and not pretended by a demon. You are not a lackey who has taken refuge in the demon. Okay, if you want to find a guide, you have to get the consent of our elders. "After that, go back to the team.

Tang Zhao was waiting nearby. He was not in a hurry. He felt that the residents here were friendlier than expected. It is not easy to have such an attitude in such a crisis-ridden environment.

As the team walked all the way to the settlement, Tang Zhao could see clearly. Everyone in the team was wearing thick furs, and they were all majestic, like a migrating wildebeest team. There were people carrying several dead ferocious beasts behind them, and the ferocious beasts were emitting black smoke as they walked. That was evidence that the ferocious beasts had just died and the Yin Qi was escaping from their bodies.

The ferocious beasts here seem to be better preserved than in the human world. The ferocious beasts in the human world will quickly decompose after death. The longer they are infected by Yin Qi, the more severe the decomposition will be. If you kill a beast that has just turned ferocious, more than half of its body will be left, but the body will become fishy. Incomparable, but food can increase strength, Tang Zhao suffered from this when he was practicing Kung Fu. It takes a long time to become fierce, and when killed, it turns into black smoke, leaving not a single hair behind.

And the ferocious beasts here are still emitting black smoke when they reach this point. It can be seen that the degree of ferocity has been very deep, but the physical body is still intact and can be carried back as a trophy. Obviously, the environment here has changed. Although it is not friendly to people, it is not friendly to ferocious beasts. For animals, this is a paradise.

Before the team arrived at the fortress, an extremely shady door opened. It turned out to be a revolving door. Once opened, it would automatically close. If you had to push it again, it would be slow for such a long team to enter. This design is safe for the people inside, and the exit can be closed at any time, but if the people outside are chased by the enemy and want to go home quickly to escape, it will be very delayed. It should be a consideration of chances of survival, with those who are safer taking precedence.

The group entered the fortress, and Tang Zhao waited for a while, seeing the dim light on the horizon getting brighter and brighter, and it was clearly early morning.

At this time, a smaller door opened next to the door just now. An old man and two strong men in deerskin came out and said: "This hero has invited me. The little old man is the elder Dian of Dianbao." Reason. You want to go up the mountain and ask for a guide?”

Tang Zhao said: "Exactly. I'm going to the mountains to the south to find something -" He thought for a while, used the light in his hand as a pen, and sketched the terrain in the air. Although it was rough, because he had some background in painting, he could also draw it. It's clear.

The little old man was stunned for a moment when he saw this hand, and immediately smiled and said: "I see. Since he is a foreigner and a swordsman, he must be an honored guest. Come in and have a rest first, and then we will discuss going up the mountain." Two strong men next to him Hearing the elder's decision, he was a little surprised, but he didn't object, so he squeezed in through the small door with Tang Zhao.

Tang Zhao could still squeeze through the door, but his six-dragon car couldn't get in anyway, so he had to put the car away. Seeing him wipe the car, such a big car disappeared. It was clearly a space object, and the two big men looked envious.

Inside the fortress, it is roughly similar to a human village, except that the roads are winding and the houses are built very squarely with sharp edges and corners, but they are arranged very irregularly. It gives the impression that this place is full of bunkers and seems to be ready for a street battle at any time.

Tang Zhao followed him into the house and saw a group of young men and women outside, running around the village. You can tell at a glance that you are exercising. Compared to the big men outside who were wearing thick animal skins, these young men were wearing very thin clothes. They must have been exercising like this on purpose.

Tang Zhao looked at these young faces running seriously, and suddenly thought of a place he passed a few years ago, which was Chaijiabao in Lingzhou, a village that was isolated from thieves everywhere. At that time, the young people in the village were also Everyone practices martial arts for self-defense. Thinking about it this way, the situations of the people in Taiyin Domain and Lingzhou are somewhat similar. But the boys here are stronger. Yes, the boy here is strong, much stronger. Just looking at the muscles and bones, his skills are not inferior to those of the knights in the world. Those knights have been practicing martial arts since childhood, eating meat and supplements, and stretching their muscles and bones. It took decades to have a body like "iron bones", but everyone here has it.

Although there are geniuses in the world who are born with outstanding bones and one year of practice is equivalent to ten years of practice for others, it is also very rare. Isn't it possible that everyone in this small settlement is a genius?

Could it be another difference caused by the environment?

The little old man led Tang Zhao into the house, poured him water, and then asked him where he came from. Tang Zhao explained that he came from the outside world. The little old man said with some longing, "Isn't it much better outside than here?"

Tang Zhaodao: "Actually, it's just average. There are fighting everywhere nowadays, and no one dares to say that they can see the sun tomorrow safely. It is a truth from ancient times that people who are away from chaos are not as good as peace dogs. Not to mention..."

Not to mention the legendary end of the world.

After hearing this, the little old man immediately said: "Is there still unremitting fighting outside? Isn't this better than us here?"

Tang Zhao was startled and said: "That's right."

The little old man sighed: "You don't know, it's difficult for us to fight even if we want to fight here. When I was young, I volunteered to go to the front line to fight, and the killing demon was not left behind. But as the front line lost ground, not only were there fewer and fewer soldiers, but also The world is becoming more and more broken, and in the end there are fewer and fewer people to organize the fight. There are more and more demons, and they are aggressively occupying our place. As a result, the higher-ups not only ignore them, but also condone them, but we are not convinced. People care about us, we have to protect ourselves.”

Tang Zhaodao: "As far as I know, at least in name, the Taiyin Territory has not accepted a ceasefire, let alone negotiate a peace."

The little old man said: "Yes, there is still a front in name. But it is just a verbal denial. As long as there is a slightly reasonable reason, the devil can walk freely in our hometown, and the people in the city will not be wiped out. , they would protect them, but they would not allow us to get close to them, saying that we were radical. They had become more and more brazen in recent years, and even built a village of demons next to ours, and asked us to tolerate them, and they were the first to fight with us. It’s those traitors who admit the devil, saying that we have ruined the overall situation. Haha!” The last two laughs were not of happiness, but of anger, and they felt funny at the same time.

Tang Zhao said, "I did see that there are yellow dots in our green area on the map..."

The old man said angrily: "What green area? Green means surrender. Do you think we are all surrenderers?"

Tang Zhao hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I'm just talking about the mark. There is the settlement of the demon behind. It seems that there is also a settlement of people on the demon's side."

The old man said even more angrily: "What's over there with the demons? Isn't this world ours? How can the demons have their own place? Their home base is in the demon world, and every inch of land here is occupied by us. Of course we Fight to the end. If you want to live and work in peace, don't you agree? "

The old man was a bit irritable. In fact, his strength could not be compared with Tang Zhao, so according to the prevailing rules, he was not qualified to speak loudly with Tang Zhao. But Tang Zhao was not angry. Instead, he thought of a song because of what the old man said.

"We are all sharpshooters. Every bullet kills an enemy... We have grown up here since childhood. Every inch of land is our own. If anyone wants to seize it, we will fight him to the end!"

This was a song taught to him by Mr. Chen. It was a bit far away for him, and many concepts he had never been exposed to. Just because the catchy melody had always been in his mind, he found resonance in another region. He couldn't help but hum a few words and said: "You are right, the demons are invaders. No matter whether they are in the Broken Realm or in the human world, not an inch of land belongs to them. Even if there is a ceasefire in the future, We have to push the line of fire to their homes.”

The old man nodded and said: "There will be a day. We don't have the ability to push back. At most, we just want to survive and clean up the evil heretics in the mountains around us."
