91: Guide

“What? The teleportation array to Changtian City is closed?”

Li Changkong was a little surprised to hear this from the teleportation array staff member.

“Changtian City has now been listed as a Class 1 dangerous area. Therefore, the teleportation array there will also be closed accordingly.”

“However, if you really want to go, there’s still one way.”

The staff member nodded, his attitude quite good.

“What way?”

Li Changkong quickly asked.

“First, you teleport to Xianhai City, then you go through the Qin Mountain Range, and then you can reach Changtian City.”

The staff member pointed to the map and continued.

Even before the game descended, attempting to traverse the Qin Mountain Range was an extremely difficult feat, let alone after.

The Qin Mountain Range is one of the top mountain ranges in the entire Northwest region.

“Is there no other way?”

After a sigh, Li Changkong still asked.

“This is already the last method.”

The staff member nodded.

From his attitude, it was clear that what he said was the truth.

“Alright then, teleport me to Xianhai City first.”

Li Changkong decided to settle for the next best option.

His current situation left him with no other choices.

Accompanied by a flash of white light, when he opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the capital.

What greeted him was a scent of loess, and even though this was within a city, it was still exceptionally desolate.

He was in a square, and throughout the entire square, there were people carrying large and small bags, fleeing.

Most of these people were professionals, with a small number of ordinary people.

But from the clothing of these ordinary people, it was evident that they must also be wealthy or noble.

Although the truly dangerous place was Changtian City, this location was not too far from Changtian City.

Many people, upon learning the news, naturally evacuated, unwilling to remain in danger.

After walking out of the square, all he encountered was desolation, which couldn't help but make him feel a little emotional.

Some ordinary people who couldn't leave had already fallen into despair.

From the surrounding situation, it was clear that the entire city seemed to have fallen into paralysis.

Even the city lord’s guards, who were supposed to maintain order, were carrying large and small bags, preparing to leave.

Li Changkong didn't hesitate much and quickly walked towards the outside of the city.

His target this time was the Bounty Guild outside the city.

Just as Li Changkong had thought, other places were desolate, but the Bounty Guild still looked quite lively.

After all, most of the people in the Bounty Guild are those who value money over their lives.

For them, the more chaotic the situation, the more they liked it, as it gave them an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

“This young brother looks unfamiliar, do you need someone to lead the way?”

Just as he reached the outside of the Bounty Guild, a shifty-eyed man walked over.

The man’s strength wasn't too strong, probably just over level twenty.

He was already over forty years old, but he did seem a bit unreliable.

“Lead the way? Aren’t you going to run away?”

Upon hearing the man’s words, Li Changkong first retorted.

“The world bustles for profit, and the world rushes for profit.”

“For people like us, this isn’t a bad thing.”

The middle-aged man sighed softly, then explained.

“You’re quite free-spirited then. By the way, can your guidance take me into the Qin Mountain Range?”

Li Changkong chuckled and asked.

“What are you going there for? That place is not a good place to go right now.”

Upon hearing Li Changkong’s destination, the middle-aged man immediately became a little scared.

“I’m going there to complete a mission. If I can’t complete it, my life will be forfeit.”

Li Changkong did not hide this matter.

“We can go to the outer areas of the Qin Mountain Range, but as for the interior, I don’t believe anyone can go there.”

The middle-aged man’s expression showed some struggle.

“Don’t worry, I’m not short on money.”

Seeing the man’s expression, Li Changkong waved his hand grandly.

His words were not false; he still had hundreds of millions of chinese yuan on him, which was no small sum.

Since the other party wanted money, as long as it wasn't too outrageous, he wouldn't refuse.

“Alright, one hundred million chinese yuan. If that’s acceptable, then I can take you to the central part of the Qin Mountain Range.”

The man was quite decisive and immediately stated his price.

Hearing this price, Li Changkong simultaneously took a deep breath, but in the end, he agreed.

The one hundred million quote was indeed terrifying, but if he were to enter the Qin Mountain Range by himself, he would be completely lost like a headless fly.

Moreover, the other party was also earning it by risking his life, so it was hard-earned money.

“Alright, one hundred million it is. I can give you fifty million first.”

“Once we enter the eastern part of the Qin Mountain Range, I will naturally transfer the remaining money to you.”

After weighing the pros and cons internally, he still agreed to the matter.

The two didn't say much and happily reached a cooperation like that.

To put Li Changkong more at ease, the man gave a brief self-introduction.

His name was Sun Sanqiao, and he used to work at the local Bounty Guild, taking on bounty missions.

After a little inquiry, he also learned that his reputation was quite significant and also quite good.

However, some time ago, the monsters in the Qin Mountain Range suddenly had some abnormal movements.

Large numbers of ordinary people and professionals naturally fled.

Many people in the Bounty Guild also fled immediately, as for most people, their lives were the most precious.

If it weren't for the lack of money, Sun Sanqiao might have left long ago.

However, Sun Sanqiao did not inquire about Li Changkong’s purpose for coming this time; he could be considered a person who knew the times.

The two did not delay for long. After purchasing some simple supplies, they headed towards the Qin Mountain Range.

In the outer areas, there were basically some weaker monsters.

These monsters would automatically evade when encountering humans and would not come forward to waste their time.

Along the way, Li Changkong and Sun Sanqiao tried their best to understand the situation of the Qin Mountain Range.

It was said that the Ancestral Dragon’s tomb was not within the Qin Mountain Range, but on the other side.

So Li Changkong could only reach his destination by Transmigration through this mountain range.
