Seven Demons

Chapter 523 Ice King Domain

Apart from collecting a protection fee every year from bandit forces like Hachiba, Wuzhen Mu is like a paradise.

Mu Xiao had a peaceful life here for half a month. Mu Xiao was still the same as before. He practiced archery every day. Of course, he also protected the villagers from cutting ebony. In the ebony forest, he would occasionally be attacked by monsters. Of course As long as you don't encounter the wind wolf pack like last time, scattered monsters can't threaten humans, and they can be easily solved. Sometimes it can be a delicious meal to bring dead monsters back to Wuzhen Mu.

Half a month later, Wuzhenmu's warehouse has accumulated a lot of ebony. These ebony cannot be piled up for a long time, because the capacity of the warehouse is limited, so these ebony must be sold.

To sell the ebony, it needs to be transported to a relatively distant place. It is said that that place is called the Ice King Domain, and only there can people be willing to buy ebony.So it has to be shipped there.Since ebony is valuable, it may be favored by some robbers and robbers, and some archers must be protected.

Maybe because Mu Xiao lived in Wuzhen for so long, Mu Xiao couldn't settle down, he always wanted to go outside for a walk, so he proposed to be an archer this time to guard and carry the ebony.However, he was rejected by the old head shepherd, and Mu Xiao couldn't quite understand it, because he would be the heir of Wuzhenmu from now on, and he would take the responsibility of protecting Wuzhenmu and supporting so many people in Wuzhenmu, so how could Mu Xiao always How about staying in Wuzhen Mu instead of going out to see it?
The old head shepherd said kindly: "Xiao'er, I'm afraid that you are going to do such a difficult task before your injury heals."

In front of the old head shepherd, Mu Xiao seemed to be more respectful: "Grandpa, I am not a child, I have already grown up, and besides, Uncle Mu She is here, I will be fine, I just want to see the outside world, Come back when you're done."

The old shepherd seemed very afraid of losing his newly reunited grandson, but in the end there was nothing he could do, and he agreed.But the old head shepherd repeatedly told Mu Xiao not to run around outside, not to listen to the words of outsiders, and to come back early.Of course, Mu Xiao kept all these instructions in mind.

Finally, Mu She set off with a large group of archers, including Mu Xiao.

Mu She rode a unicorn in front, followed by Mu Xiao, and a large group of archers from Wuzhen Mu formed a square formation at the back, because there was a carriage in the middle, and this carriage needed ten unicorns It can only be pulled, because there are a lot of ebony piled on the carriage.

Stepping on the ice and leaving Wuzhen Mu, Mu Xiao felt joy and excitement in his heart, but he lost his memory and forgot everything in the past, so he didn't know anything about the outside world except Wuzhen Mu accident.

Mu Xiao asked: "Uncle Mushe, are these ebony really that valuable? How much is a piece of ebony worth?"

Mu She: "It's not very valuable either. If it's a thick and long piece of ebony, you can probably sell two middle-grade spirit stones. If it's short, you can only sell one middle-grade spirit stone. "

Mu Xiao nodded: "Oh, so that's the case! Then there are [-] ebony on the carriage, so you can only sell about a dozen high-grade spirit stones."

Mu She said: "Yes, a dozen or so is about the same! But we still have the funds for the road. For example, the unicorn consumes a lot of food along the way, so many of us carry it, and the villagers cut it hard. These spiritual stones are enough to exchange for the things we need to survive, but we need to pay protection fees to Hachiba every year, so our life in Wuzhenmu is not easy!"

Mu Xiao knows the difference between a mortal and a cultivator. If an ordinary mortal cuts down one piece of ebony every day, it is worth two middle-grade spirit stones. This is quite a fortune for an ordinary mortal, but mortals cannot do these transactions. We can rely on Wuzhen Mu's archers to sell, so the physical work of logging is done by ordinary villagers, and the risky transportation and protection are done by archers.

After four days and four nights of traveling day and night, I finally came to a strange place, because the ice continent is basically flat, but here, there are all rolling ice and snow mountains in front of me.And very tall, these icebergs and snow mountains can hardly see the top, because the top is completely covered by dark clouds.It can be seen that the snow mountain is the highest.

Looking at the ice and snow mountains in front of him, Mu Shechang sighed and said: "Finally we have arrived at the Ice King Realm, as long as we pass the Wangcheng Pass in front, we can enter the Ice King Realm, and we need to walk for another day before we can reach our destination. "

Mu Xiao asked: "After passing the Wangcheng Pass in front, you will arrive at the Ice King Domain? May I ask Uncle Mushe, what is Wangcheng Pass?"

Mu She explained: "Did you see so many rolling ice and snow mountains in front of you? They are all so tall, if you want to move so many ebony, it is impossible to cross those ice and snow mountains."

Mu Xiao: "Then if it's a cultivator who doesn't need to carry things, can he fly in the sky?"

Mu She shook his head: "Yes, yes, but everyone on the coast of the North Sea knows that in this iceberg and snow mountain, there are the strongest and most cruel monsters on the coast of the North Sea. If you don't want to die, you should be honest. Have you passed Wangcheng Pass?"

Mu Xiao: "Then why is it safe to walk through Wangcheng Pass? And why don't you have to cross the snow-capped mountains?"

Facing Mu Xiao's question, Mu She seemed very patient.Mu She patiently explained: "In the ice continent of our North Sea, although the air is cold, the cold wind blowing in the air will make people even colder, so there are a large number of ordinary mortals every day. Frozen to death. But there will be no cold wind in the Ice King Domain, because there are tall snow mountains everywhere, so the cold wind blowing over is basically blocked by Xue Mountain. But the snow can block the wind, It can also block the road, and there are many strong monsters in the snow mountain."

Mu She went on to say: "In the long, long time ago, someone found a place in the middle of these tall snow mountains, that is, there is a huge flat area inside, surrounded by mountains on all sides, it will not withstand the cold wind, it is very suitable for Human beings live, and there is the Ice King Realm, and many people have risked over the snow mountain to enter the Ice King Realm, and built a city in the Ice King Realm, called the Ice King City. It is the most prosperous place in the Ice Continent The place is also the place with the most strong people. Many people yearn for the Ice King City, but to go to the Ice King City, they have to climb over these snow mountains. People who looked at them all died on the snow mountains. Later, there was a powerful sect called Seven Gates. The Seven Doors dug the snow-capped mountains with the disciples who looked at them, and finally leveled several snow-capped mountains, and opened a flat road leading to the Ice King Domain. Guard Wangcheng Pass and protect the people passing through Wangcheng Pass, as long as there are monsters from the snow mountain to attack, the people from the Seven Gates will take action to kill the monsters."

After listening to this, Mu Xiao understood the history and current situation of the Ice King Domain, and Mu Xiao said: "It seems that the Seven Doors are really a selfless sect force, and they paid a heavy price to help all the people on the coast of the North Sea. people."

Mu She smiled and said: "Master Mu Xiao, you think too well. Everyone in the world is selfish, and the seven doors are no exception. Although it took a lot of manpower and the world to level several tall snow mountains, but Beyond the seven gates, tolls have been collected at Wangchengguan for generations. These tolls alone have made the seven gates more and more rich and powerful. Today, the seven gates are in the entire North Sea Bin is famous!"

Mu She led the team of archers to the foot of the snow mountain soon.Seen from a distance, the snow mountain is very high, but looking closer, the snow mountain is not only taller but also very steep. It is simply impossible for a one-horned carriage to turn over such a snow mountain.

But at the foot of these snow-capped mountains, there is a road that can lead to the Ice King Domain behind the snow-capped mountains.However, to enter the narrow road, you need to pay the toll first.

At this time, a disciple from the Seven Doors came over and stopped the archer team.

Sitting on the back of the unicorn, Mu She cupped his hands and said, "We transported these ebony trees to the Ice King Domain to sell them for a small profit."

The disciple nodded, and then carefully looked at the carriage and these archers. Finally, the disciple of the Seven Doors said: "You have a lot of goods, and the carriage is also very big. In addition, there are a total of twenty people riding alone. Wildebeest, pay fifty middle-grade spirit stones!"

The disciples of the Seven Doors were relatively kind, and they didn't make too many troubles. Instead, they roughly estimated the price of a toll. After all, a large group of people came in together with goods, so they could get a little discount. If it was a single person, That is calculated according to the number of people.

Mu She didn't have much to say, and took out fifty middle-grade spirit stones from the storage bag and handed them to him, and then the disciples of the seven doors went.

Mu Xiao followed the team into the narrow road, both sides of the narrow road are steep mountain walls, like a line of sky, but the narrow road is wide enough for a carriage to pass through.And there are many disciples of the seven doors standing on both sides of the narrow passage, and these disciples are motionless.

Of course, apart from Wuzhen Mu's team of archers, there were many other people coming and going from this narrow passage.But basically they are all cultivators, because the seven gates only charge spirit stones for protection fees, and the common currency for ordinary mortals is gold and silver, so it is difficult for ordinary mortals to get spirit stones.

The narrow passage still looks crowded, after all there are too many people coming in and out, now Mu Xiao knows why the Seven Doors are so rich, because there are really too many people coming in and out here.Everyone needs to collect tolls. After this day, I am afraid that the seven gates will have to fight for a lot of spirit stones.
