The Land of Gods and Warriors in Another World

Chapter 23 Brilliant Chariot
Under the fiery gaze of everyone, Xiong Zhan stepped on the chariot bravely. Although he was in his forties, he was still not used to that gaze.In the previous life in the martial arts, Xiong Zhan was also one of the top masters, but he had never enjoyed such idol-level treatment.

Xiong Keke followed the bronze stairs and jumped onto the chariot.Her watery eyes were wide open, looking east and west, with indescribable curiosity and excitement.The little squirrel stood on her shoulder again, and his little head kept spinning.It seems that it is also quite interested in this chariot.

After Xiong Zhan entered the curtain, the two warriors put away the brass ladder.Under the loud yelling of the two stewards, the four bone spur giant rhinoceros began to move their legs as thick as tree trunks, breathing heavy white air from their noses.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang"

Amid the gigantic footsteps of the giant rhinoceros, the bronze chariot began to move forward, and the sound of copper wheels rubbing against marble was heard from time to time.

After entering the curtain, there is a horizontal table two steps ahead, and behind the table is a long couch with seats on both sides.The table and the couch are all made of bronze, covered with furs of various war beasts, and the couch is even covered with a complete piece of giant white bear skin. The white bear fur is more than half a foot long, and it looks extremely soft and smooth. .In order to adapt to the running of the chariot, all the utensils are cast together with the entire chariot.

Xiong Zhan sat on the couch, feeling the softness of the bear skin under his body, and hearing the huge footsteps outside the car, he had a sense of unreality in a dream.During his six years in the Shenwu Continent, most of the time he spent was cultivating, and he knew very little about the mainland.It is precisely because of these that he has not yet integrated into the Shenwu Continent, and his heart still belongs to the martial arts in his previous life.

Xiong Keke sitting next to him looked like a curious baby, measuring the length of the bear's hair from time to time, and trying to see if the teeth in the bear's head could be pulled out from time to time.The little squirrel also jumped down, hugging a fang and exerting all his might.But this fang was more than ten times thicker and longer than its body, its face was flushed red, and its tail was dancing fast, but it couldn't shake the opponent even a little.

"Master Xiong Zhan, do you know this chariot?" Xiong Yan who was sitting on the side of the table said suddenly.

Xiong Zhan came back to his senses, sat upright quickly, looked at Xiong Yan and said, "I am going to ask Hall Master Xiong for advice." This chariot is magnificent and old, and even the tractor beast is a mid-level war beast, so it is obviously not a mortal thing.Xiong Zhan is also quite curious about it, and now that he is about to learn about its origin, he can't help but feel a little bit looking forward to it.

Xiong Yan picked up a glass of tequila on the table, took a sip, and then began to explain the chariot.

"This kind of chariot is called the brilliant chariot, which symbolizes bravery and glory. The founding emperor of the Aussie Empire personally supervised the manufacture. It is said that a total of forty chariots were built at that time, divided into three golden chariots, seven silver chariots, and eleven bronze chariots. 1000 black iron chariots. Forty brilliant chariots were all given to the founding heroes of the country. It is a pity that more than [-] years have passed, and today less than half of the brilliant chariots remain.”

Xiong Zhan knows that the Os Empire is one of the three giants in the Shenwu Continent, with a territory spanning tens of thousands of miles, including nearly a thousand cities of all sizes.The West Asia city where the Xiong family is located belongs to the Os Empire, and it is located on the western border of the empire, facing the Black Rock City of the Rhine Empire, another giant on the mainland.

West Asia City can only be regarded as a small frontier city in the Aussie Empire, and I did not expect that there are still brilliant chariots wandering in it.Of course, compared to this point of curiosity, Xiong Zhan was more surprised by why this brilliant chariot was in Xiong's house.

He has been in the Xiong family for eight full years, of course he understands that the Xiong family is a veritable family of martial arts.What he pursues is the ultimate in martial arts, what he values ​​is the glory of his family, and he has no intention of serving any force at all.How could this splendid chariot, which was obviously used to reward the heroes of the empire, appear in a pure martial arts family.

"This glorious chariot was originally left over from the ancestors of the city lord." Speaking of this, Xiong Yan's calm voice changed a little: "But in the past twenty years, during the war beast riots in the Red Dragon Mountain Range, the patriarch repelled the legendary war beast head-on. The red giant dragon caused thousands of war beasts to be defeated because the dragons had no leader. If this saved the lives of all the people in West Asia City, the city lord deeply felt the kindness of the patriarch, so he gave the glorious chariot handed down from his ancestors to our Xiong family."

Xiong Yan smiled proudly, "The Zhuo family and the Dongfang family are listed as the three major families in West Asia City along with our Xiong family. They are not weaker than us in terms of financial resources or strength. But this splendid chariot, which symbolizes glory and bravery, is what they want. No."

Xiong Zhan was stunned.Now he finally knew why Xiong Yan wanted to introduce this brilliant chariot to him.Having said these words, the real meaning is just one sentence: see, this brilliant chariot cannot be produced by the other two big families.

This bone spur giant rhinoceros has a huge body, and its walking speed is indeed not slow.Not long after, the brilliant chariot arrived at the gate of the family.

"Hey, it turned out to be a brilliant chariot!"

"It's really a brilliant chariot! Who's on it?"

"Uh, this brilliant chariot hasn't been out of the house for nearly ten years."

"Who said no?."

There was a murmur of discussion outside, and it was only then that Xiong Zhan realized that the Brilliant Chariot was so famous.But when you think about it carefully, this is also common sense. After all, there are less than twenty brilliant chariots in the entire Os Empire. Such a rare and meaningful object will become the focus of attention no matter where it is placed.

They didn't go through any inspection, and the soldiers guarding the gate let them go directly.After all, the Chariot of Splendor is a form of identification in itself.People who are not of high status in the family, it is impossible to ride.

As soon as the Brilliant Chariot drove out of the beast-shaped gate, there was a sudden sound of neat hooves.Through the curtain, Xiong Zhan vaguely saw two teams of knights rushing over from behind, bypassing the chariot left and right, and walking in front to open the way.

The Xiong Family's splendid chariot was unknown to everyone in West Asia City, pedestrians on the road stopped and gave way, and there were low-pitched discussions from time to time.

Xiong Zhan sat on it, feeling quite strange.He has never been so ostentatious.

The little girl didn't have so many scruples, pointing at the construction department outside through the curtain.The little squirrel stood on her shoulder, chirping and chirping.In the end, the two little guys simply lifted the curtain, stretched out their heads and looked around.

Through the gap created by the little girl, Xiong Zhan discovered that this place is quite prosperous, with tall and continuous roadside buildings, crowds of people on the road, and strange war beasts can be seen from time to time. They either act as riding beasts, or pull carts , or walking happily with the master.With his extraordinary spiritual sense, Xiong Zhan felt that these beasts were very weak.The most powerful blue wolf is only comparable to the giant rhinoceros with bone spurs.

And these four bone spur giant rhinos are just ordinary adult war beasts, and have not undergone evolution.An adult mid-level war beast is equivalent to the strength of a tenth-level human cultivator.This bone spur giant rhinoceros is slightly weaker than Xiong Zhan.Although Xiong Zhan is still at the tenth level, he is already at the peak of the tenth level.

There are two teams of knights leading the way ahead, and the huge brilliant chariot is also unimpeded in this crowded street.After all, no one wants to provoke the Xiong family of the three major families in West Asia City.

"Ow—"

Suddenly, amidst a sharp and strange cry, a huge cyan animal figure swept out from above the chariot.Xiong Zhan vaguely saw a person riding on it.

"Wow, what a vicious big bird!" Xiong Keke ran back in horror.The little squirrel was hanging on her clothes, swaying back and forth as she ran, its two big eyes blinking non-stop, and it made a series of chirping noises, mocking the little girl's timidity.

Xiong Zhan patted the little girl lying on his lap, looked at Xiong Yan, and said with some doubts: "Master Xiong, what just passed by? I seem to feel that it is very strong."

"Well, that is an adult wyvern. Wyvern is a relatively powerful high-level beast. Because of its unique flying advantage, it is more powerful than ordinary top-level beasts." Xiong Yan's voice was a little dignified : "That should be Long Zaitian, the head of the flying dragon mercenary group. He is the only one who keeps a biped flying dragon in the whole West Asia city. In West Asia city, Long Zaitian can be regarded as one of the few masters, even if his cultivation has reached twenty level."

"What is a mercenary group?" Xiong Zhan heard this term for the first time.

"The mercenary group is a unique team belonging to the cultivators. The number of members of the mercenary group varies according to the size. They mainly rely on escorting business travel, hunting war beasts, and completing designated tasks to get paid to support their lives."

After Xiong Yan's detailed explanation, Xiong Zhan finally understood what a mercenary group is.In his opinion, the mercenary regiment is very similar to the escort agency in the martial arts.It's just that there are more mercenary unions on the mainland, issuing various tasks, and formulating standards to measure the level of mercenary groups and mercenaries.

"The mercenaries may not be strong individually, but they are all experienced in many battles and are good at cooperating. In small-scale collective battles, they can explode with amazing power. Therefore, once a war breaks out, many countries will hire them. Assist in combat."

Xiong Zhan nodded.He already knew that wars in Shenwu Continent were very frequent.Throughout the continent, the flames of war have never ceased, but the scale of the wars varies.For example, among the three giants in the mainland, there will generally not be much disputes.Because once a war breaks out between them, it will affect the entire continent.

Surrounded by the two teams of knights, the Brilliant Chariot continued to move forward. The pedestrians on the road gradually thinned out, and finally it was almost empty, with no one in sight.

Suddenly there was commotion ahead, and the brilliant chariot stopped suddenly.

Xiong Yan smiled slightly: "It should be at Dongfang's house."

Xiong Zhan looked out through the curtain, and not far ahead stood a magnificent gate, which was about the same size as the beast-shaped gate of the Xiong Mansion, but its style was very different. As a result, it appears complicated and mysterious.At this moment, a few figures slowly rose up in front of the gate, floating lightly in mid-air.

A voice that was originally not loud resounded through the scene through a strange vibration.

"Who is here? How dare you trespass on my Dongfang home."

Xiong Yan's expression changed immediately.

Xiong Zhan's mind moved slightly, and he already understood the reason.Within the scope of West Asia City, the Xiong family's splendid chariot is known to everyone, and there is no reason for the Dongfang family not to know.

They knew that they were from the Xiong's mansion, but they yelled and asked like this, which was clearly an insult to Xiang Luoxiong's family.

"Master Xiong Zhan, please sit down for a while and let Xiong Yan go out to have a look." Xiong Yan drank the extremely strong tequila in one gulp, stood up suddenly and walked outside.

Xiong Zhan stopped him, stood up slowly, and said with a smile: "Master Xiong, wait a moment, I'll go out and have a look too."

"Wait, Keke is going too." Xiong Keke also jumped down quickly, the little squirrel was hanging under her hair, and was caught off guard and fell down in embarrassment.It got up, and with a flash of yellow light, it appeared on the little girl's shoulders, pacing up and down, making a series of angry chirping sounds.
