Chapter 206 Grandmaster War
Looking behind him, there is still an endless desert, and the sky is shrouded in haze.

The howling wind and sand blew past, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, which made people daunting.

The caravan did not stop and continued on its way.

They will not stop until they reach their destination.

The sand beasts' bodies continuously sprinkled sand grains, leaving behind their distant footprints.

Gradually, a layer of weeds gradually grew on the wasteland under their feet, and the greenery slowly spread out in front of everyone's eyes.

The closer to those mountains, the more greenery, gradually filling everyone's field of vision.

It is still April and spring, when all the flowers are in full bloom and full of vitality.

After staying in the lifeless desert for a long time, everyone's mood improved after seeing this beautiful mountain and river scenery.

Even the fatigue of traveling outside seems to have dissipated a little. This situation is by no means comparable to the desert oasis.

"Brother Xu, when we arrive at Huangbei City, the team will disband, and I will go to my hometown to take revenge. It's time to say goodbye." Li Pingdi sat on the back of the Sand Beast and said to Xu Gu'an beside him.

Xu Gu'an nodded, regarding revenge, he would not dissuade Li Ping, he just wished him good luck.

"After everything is over, if you want to find me, you can go to Donglan Town."

"Okay." Li Ping nodded and laughed, "I will definitely look for you."

The two walked together and had some friendship.

Two days later, the caravan bypassed two big mountains and a big river.

"Desolate North City is ahead." Duke looked at the familiar scenery around him and said with a faint smile.

This is not the first time he has been out in the desert, he has been here no less than five times, it is very clear.

Desolate North City is the largest human city closest to the desert in this direction.

One of their branches is stationed in this barren north city, and they often come here for trade.

As long as he arrived in the wild north city, his mission for this trip would be basically over, and he would no longer have to think about the safety of the goods and caravan.

There is no place safer than the area around Huangbei City.

"Is it a big city?" Xu Gu'an has also heard about this barren north city.

It is said that this great city of the human race is protected by a powerful master named Skywalker. The scale of the city is huge, and the population of the city alone is close to one million!
Not to mention the population of the surrounding affiliated villages and towns, if the population is counted together, the population in the Huangbei City area will soar.

"Unexpectedly, the first big city I went to was this barren north city," Xu Gu'an muttered to himself.

He originally thought that the opportunity to go to Dacheng would be when he went to the Grand Master Martial Academy.

It should be Suicheng, the upper subordinate city of Donglan Town.

It can only be said that plans can never keep up with changes.

Passing through a valley path, everyone saw a giant from afar, standing between the sky and the earth, like a black giant lying on the plain.

That is the big city of the human race, and there are still some villages and towns around it, as if satellites are scattered around, with different distances.

It should have been a harmonious scene, however.
"How is it possible?!" Duke looked dumbfounded.

Everyone was silent for a while, and the air fell into a dull and dead silence.

As Xu Guan looked around, the big city and those villages and towns were seeing flames soaring into the sky.

Black smoke billowed, and even from such a long distance, they could clearly sense that something was wrong.

Xu Gu'an smelled a faint smell of blood, which was permeating the area.

Some killing sounds are telling everyone that they are not mistaken.

Right now, the big city seems to be going through a siege.

Duke and others chose to climb a height to see it more clearly.

Looking down from a high place, many complete pictures come into view.

It was a doomsday landscape.

A large number of soldiers outside the city are like ants, densely packed and extremely numerous, forming a advancing phalanx one by one.

There are also catapults, throwing big fireballs one by one, crossing a big parabola, falling on the high wall of the big city, and even falling over the high wall into the city to cause damage.

There are three gate entrances on one side of the big city, all of which have been destroyed now, and have become three main battlefields.

In fact, this is only one side that everyone can see. The other three walls have also been besieged, and the situation is not optimistic.

"Didn't you say that this barren north city is protected by a master, who is attacking this big city now?" A passenger stared dumbfounded, swallowed for a long time, and said.

It's absolutely safe as promised, Grandmaster Asylum
"Naturally, it can only be done by other grandmaster forces." An innate master of the caravan said.

The big cities of the human race have always existed, and throughout history, they have rarely been destroyed.

But the owner of the big city will change from time to time, and it is not always the same.

Just like the war that broke out in front of us, it is possible for the attacking party to change the world here, replace the old king with a new generation, and take this big city.

As for the grandmaster protecting the big city, it can only be said that the attacking side must also have a grandmaster of the same level to restrain them.

During the siege, the Grandmaster seldom appeared.

Usually it is the family army under the command of the master who fights in front of people.

"Desolate North City, I can't go." Duke sighed.

In this way, his task will be difficult to complete.

Even the branch of the chamber of commerce in the city may encounter accidents.

This is bound to be a big loss for the chamber of commerce.

"I heard that there are frequent wars in the outside world. Didn't you expect it to reach this point? This is the first time I have seen such a large-scale war!"

"I also."

"In that case, I will take my leave here, thank you for escorting me all the way." A passenger cupped his hands to several leaders of the caravan.

The rest are leaving one after another.

After leaving the desert, there was no need for them to continue following the caravan.

The previous deal with the caravan was just to send them to the barren north city.

Now that such a change has occurred, the two parties can be considered to have completed the transaction.

"Thank you." Xu Gu'an and Li Ping looked at each other, and handed over to the innate masters of the caravan, ready to leave.

The war broke out here, and it is no longer safe. If you continue to stay here, you don't know what will happen, so it's better to leave as soon as possible.

The caravan was quite kind, or because of a good relationship, Duke pointed out a few roads to the people who were about to leave. If they walked all the way, they would be able to leave the area of ​​Huangbei City and reach a relatively safe town for a temporary stay.

Li Pingdi and Xu Guan had different paths and formally parted ways.

Xu Gu'an went on the road alone, and returned to Donglan Town according to the direction signs on the small map of the copy of the mobile phone.

A day later, the Sand Beast walked on a road in Fangcao Valley, with layers of rocks on both sides.

The sand beast took one step at a time, and its heavy tonnage made it slow to move on the flat ground, and would lower its head to eat two mouthfuls of flowers, plants, branches and leaves on the ground from time to time.

When he reached the foothold, Xu Gu'an would replace the sand beast with a galloping horse to continue on his way.

On the land plain, compared with horses, sand beasts can be said to have no advantages, perhaps only the ability to pack is more outstanding.

When Xu Gu'an just came out of this valley, he encountered a group of ambushes.

"Hey, what a big sand beast, brothers can have a good meal today."

"Hey, head, it's a young boy, he's the only one."

"What are you waiting for, grab it directly, maybe the kid still has gold from the desert."

"Hahaha, if you really have gold, you will make a lot of money today."

"."

Xu Gu'an sat on the sand beast and looked at the group of people surrounding him.

Wearing some uniform armor that is not neatly damaged, wearing a helmet, and holding a knife and gun, he seems to be from a party of soldiers.

The robbing of houses here is mostly scattered soldiers who have escaped from some army.

Xu Gu'an was surrounded, his expression was calm, and he was not afraid of anything.

Even deserters, their combat power is not too strong, and he has killed many in the past.

Take out Xiaohong, who is still sleeping soundly in her arms, and put it into an iron box on the back of the sand beast.

Taking advantage of the situation to stop the sand beast, he picked up the black knife and walked towards the group of stragglers.

Well, now he wants to know something too.

"This kid is so calm, isn't he pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?" A deserter suddenly became uneasy.

"What are you afraid of? I'm just a gold digger. At this age, I can't reach the bone-building stage at most. Let me take him down alone."

Another burly soldier said, grabbing his sword and striding towards Xu Gu'an.

"Boy, you're out of luck!" He strode closer, and the big knife was about to be swung down.

Xu Gu'an suddenly stretched out his left hand lightly, and held the handle of the man's knife before the knife fell.

With a little force, the big knife reversed and fell, slicing across the deserter's neck, blood gushing.

This move shocked the other deserters present, and it was no longer as easy as before.

That big man is already one of the best in his group of soldiers, with a perfect body training ability.

The reason why he couldn't go to Yijin Realm was that there was no way to obtain a set of Yijin.

Such a guy was easily killed by Xu Guan on the spot with one hand, and it was an instant kill.

This is enough to show how strong Xu Gu'an is.

For a moment, they all panicked.

After a while, Xu Gu'an returned to the Sand Beast, sheathed the wiped black knife, and retrieved the little beast.

The little guy left Xu Gu'an, stayed in the cold iron box for a while, and kept calling uncomfortably.

It wasn't until Xu Gu'an picked it up that it became quiet again.

The sand beast continued on the road and left the valley without being affected in any way.

Through the dictation of those deserters, he had a little understanding of the current situation of the outside world.

Not only was the barren northern city affected by the war, but wars were also breaking out in other areas, and the level of turmoil was definitely worse than half a year ago.

Why did the war happen, why did it start, and the specific reason, these little soldiers naturally don't know.

They only know that this is a war started by the masters, and no one can stop it.

After hearing the news, Xu Gu'an was a little worried about the situation of Donglan Town and his parents.

After entering the desert for half a year, he also lost contact with his family for half a year.

"You have to go back quickly." Xu Gu'an thought in his heart.

After that, Xu Gu'an encountered two waves of deserters on the road.

Fortunately, the scale is not large, and there is no strong leader among them, so they were easily beaten away by him.

After another three days like this, Xu Gu'an finally figured out the area around Huangbei City, and came to a town with the back of Dahe.

The big river is wide, at least a few kilometers from the other side, and this is not the widest location.

The town's terrain is high, as if it was built on a hillside, apparently to prevent flooding from high tides.

The town is called Shuiyu Town, and it is considered a small town.

As the name suggests, this town was originally established by some fishermen's clans along the river.

Through development, today's town scenery has been achieved.

"If Brother Lu sees this big river, I'm afraid he will spend days fishing here."

The sun was pouring on the river, Xu Gu'an thought to himself looking at the school of fish leaping from time to time in the sparkling river.

This is a good place for fishing.

It is also true that many people are fishing along the shore, and more fishing boats are fishing for fish in the middle of the water.

Don't think about it, these are the residents of the town.

When Xu Guan passed by, he also attracted the attention of many people.

The sand beast he was riding was a normal mount in the desert, but outside the desert, this kind of sand beast was rare, and it was normal for people to look at it twice.

Around the big river, uphill into the town.

The whole town is not big, and the buildings are scattered. There is another building at a turn on another hill.

These two hillsides are connected together to form a complete Shuiyu Town.

Xu Gu'an found out that there is only one horse farm in the town, which is owned by a large family in the town under the hillside.

He was not in a hurry to buy a horse, and planned to settle down in this water fish town first.

"Shopkeeper, come to a superior room." Xu Gu'an picked a good inn.

"Okay, guest officer, please." After paying the deposit, Xiao Er immediately greeted Xu Gu'an to go upstairs.

People like this who directly ask for the best room without asking the price must be rich, and they cannot be easily offended.

"My lord, how about this room, facing the big river, with a wide view and plenty of sunlight, and" Xiaoer pushed open the window and introduced it eloquently.

"Okay, this is the room, prepare hot water for me, I want to wash up." Xu Gu'an casually handed over a few coins, making the waiter very happy.

"Okay, little one, let's go get ready." Xiao Er Ma slipped the door and left.

After washing and scrubbing, and changing into clean clothes, Xu Gu'an only felt reborn and comfortable.

There is a faint smell of seafood floating outside the window.

This is the smell that permeates the whole town, and it will not disappear basically wherever you go.

Fishing is always the most important industry in this town, and the big river can be said to feed the entire town.

After feeding the goat milk to the little animal, Xu Gu'an lay on the soft bed and slept until the next morning.

On the days when he was on the road, Xu Gu'an was alone, so he could only keep a light sleep at night, and he was always alert to the surrounding situation, and he would wake up whenever there was any disturbance.

With such a tense spirit, even he will feel tired after a long time.

Therefore, in a town like this, it is time to rest and recover from the exhaustion of traveling in the wild.

This morning, Xu Gu'an found a good buyer for his sand beast.

He also doesn't care how much the sand beast can sell for. In contrast, he cares more about whether the buyer will treat the sand beast well.

After all, it was also a mount that followed him all the way, and Xu Gu'an also hoped that it could be handled properly.

In the afternoon, he went to the only horse farm outside the town to buy horses.
