919: Arrival at Jiangshan City

In the Divine Hall.

The communication between the Elders and the God quickly ended.

Not long after, the entire Big City under the jurisdiction of the Divine Hall became tense and on high alert.

Yet, the originator of all this, Ye Tian, had already returned to the System space.

For now, the things he had arranged were enough to guide a large portion of the plot's direction.

There was no need to continue taking risks to do anything else.

Coupled with the prophecy diary as an insider, the Divine Hall side could also be almost completely controlled.

…

The sky had completely darkened.

The caravan that was originally traveling found a flat and open area, set up simple shelters, and began preparing dinner.

Some caravans would just eat dry food while on the road.

Many caravans would also stop to cook hot meals; this depended on the caravan's habits.

Wang Lie's caravan had this habit.

Once a day, they had to cook a hot meal.

Perhaps in the eyes of employers like Du Xingchen, it was just a two or three day journey, and they could just tough it out.

But for Wang Lie and the others, delivering one batch of employers didn't mean the end.

They still had to immediately take on the next order.

Therefore, they might be constantly traveling in different places for several years.

In such a situation, it was naturally impossible to eat dry food every day.

"Time to eat, time to eat!" Amidst the aroma of food, Wang Lie called out to the caravan members.

A few logistics personnel also brought portions of food to Students like Du Xingchen.

Wang Lie himself, carrying a portion of food, came to the vehicle where the Giant Rhino was located: "Senior, it's time to eat."

"Mm, put it down," the Giant Rhino said casually.

"Alright, alright," Wang Lie nodded, setting the food down: "Lord, this chicken soup was specially brewed by our cook, it's very fresh, you must try it."

"Got it," the Giant Rhino didn't notice anything unusual.

His thoughts were more focused on Dean Abel.

If he remembered correctly, when Wen Xiucheng, this 'helpless orphan', enrolled, it was personally arranged by the Dean.

And Moyun and Liangcai Sword, when these two came to the academy, they were also orphans…

Touching his slightly empty stomach, the Giant Rhino temporarily put the matter aside and looked at the food in front of him.

He picked up the bowl and first took two large sips of chicken soup to moisten his throat.

Suddenly, the Giant Rhino's movements paused.

He stared intently at the chicken soup in front of him.

"Gulp gulp," he took two more large sips.

"Don't say it, this chicken soup is indeed quite delicious."

"But… it seems something was added to it."

The Giant Rhino murmured.

A piece of sacred golden armor slowly appeared on his body.

As the Miracle power flashed and disappeared, the medicinal power within his body was forcibly blocked and expelled.

After doing this, a heavy expression appeared on the Giant Rhino's face.

It seemed that just as Wen Xiucheng said, there was a spy among them!

…

"Hmm? Time to eat?" In the carriage where Du Xingchen was, Liangcai Sword yawned, a little groggy after a nap.

However, upon seeing the steaming hot food, his state immediately returned.

"By the way, how is Xingchen?" He turned his head to look at Du Xingchen and found that the other party was still in a coma.

Seeing the tear stains on his face, he must have been in such pain from the suffering.

Sighing, Liangcai Sword carried his food to the shed outside the carriage to eat.

And among the entire protagonist group, only he ate outside.

Or rather, only he was in the mood to eat.

Two days later.

"Whoa!"

On a Desert with little vegetation, Wang Lie stopped the horses, raising his head to look at the bustling Big City on the distant horizon.

Jiangshan City, they had arrived!

Of course, they were still in the situation of 'seeing the mountain but the horse dies from running'.

To truly reach Jiangshan City, it would take at least another half a day.

The reason Wang Lie stopped the caravan was because around their caravan, a pack of wolves as large as calves, with gray and yellow fur, had surrounded them!

Desert Wolf.

A pack of over twenty Desert Wolves that were over ten years old!

These guys had set their sights on their caravan!

"There can be a wolf pack of this size in a place like this?" In the caravan, Liangcai Sword leaned against the window and couldn't help but ask Du Xingchen.

And Du Xingchen, at this time, was still showing a weak appearance: "Desert Wolves are the most common gregarious creatures in the Outer Domain area."

"It's not strange for a few dozen of these guys to sneak in from the Outer Domain."

"Plus, these guys are not very old, so their threat to Soul Card Masters is limited, and eradicating them is troublesome, so not many people are willing to bother."

While describing, Du Xingchen was also observing this wolf pack.

The dangers in the Outer Domain, excluding the dangers brought by people, were only these strange beasts.

Among them, the threat of beast packs was the greatest.

They hadn't even reached the Outer Domain yet, and they had already experienced both types of danger.

It was indeed worthy of their team being the protagonist team favored by the Heavenly Dao.

"Woo woo woo!"

Several Desert Wolves roared towards the sky, and five or six vanguards directly attacked the horses and strange beasts in the caravan!

This action immediately startled the horses, making them eager to flee.

"Let's go, let these wolf cubs know that we are people they can't mess with!" Wang Lie turned his head to look at the members of the caravan and shouted.

They couldn't deal with the group of strange beast breeders before.

Could they still not deal with these wild wolves that were like clay chickens and pottery dogs?

Several people immediately appeared in the caravan, and as their cards shone, energy directly poured onto the wolf pack!

It was almost instantaneous.

The entire wolf pack was scattered by the members of Wang Lie's caravan, and amidst their howls of surprise, the wolf pack quickly fled with their tails between their legs, leaving behind six wild wolf corpses.

Seeing the fleeing wild wolves, many people in the caravan laughed heartily, feeling extremely invigorated.

This was just a small interlude.

The caravan took the six wild wolf corpses, which were as large as calves, and continued on to Jiangshan City.

Although it was just an interlude, it also allowed everyone in the protagonist group to witness the dangers of the Outer Domain.

They hadn't even reached the Outer Domain yet, and just approaching it had such a large wolf pack.

If they really went to the Outer Domain, it would definitely be even more dangerous!

Half a day passed in a flash.

At noon.

The caravan finally arrived at a Big City located at the very edge of the border area of Linshan Country!

Entering the City required identity verification.

This was a mandatory rule, and basically every regular City had this rule.

"Moyun?" At the City gate on the ground floor, the Soldier checking identity information took the protagonist Moyun's identity card, looked at it twice, confirmed that he was a Linshan Country citizen, and returned the identity card: "This is your first time in Jiangshan City, you need to pay a daily stay fee of one hundred Linshan Country coins."

"Do citizens of Linshan Country have to pay an extra stay fee to enter a City in their own country?" Upon hearing this request, Moyun questioned with some disbelief.

Behind the team.

Seeing this scene, Du Xingchen's eyelids twitched.

It's coming.

The conflict plot that only belongs to the protagonist was about to unfold.

As if to confirm Du Xingchen's guess.

When Moyun's words fell, a sneering voice immediately appeared as if it had been set by a rule.

"Heh heh, I didn't expect that even when we've reached our Jiangshan City, there are still bumpkins who don't understand anything," next to the Soldier who started checking identity cards, another obese Soldier crossed his arms, tilted his head back, and spoke with his nostrils facing the sky: "Since you think our requirement of one hundred Linshan Country coins per day for the stay fee is unreasonable, then give us a thousand Linshan Country coins."

"One thousand, not a single cent less!"

Without any special reason, this minor character who was forcing the protagonist just jumped out like this.

"Hmph! Too much!"

"To dare to directly threaten so openly in broad daylight, I don't think there can be any useful people in this City! Entering will definitely be layers of exploitation! It's better not to enter!"

After Moyun finished speaking, he turned to look at the other members of the protagonist group: "Let's go!"

After his words were spoken, he turned around directly.

However…

The other members of the protagonist group looked at each other, watching Moyun walk away, and not a single one followed.

Moyun frowned and looked back, and between the area separating them, it seemed a crow representing awkwardness flew by, flapping its wings.

Are you a Teacher? Or a Captain? You say go and we go?

Du Xingchen, with the bad mood from two draws, saw the protagonist in this situation and his mood improved quite a bit.

According to the original plot.

When the protagonist group met the group of strange beast breeders in the Jiaomang Mountain Range, Moyun played a huge role in the battle.

It was also that battle that raised his prestige in everyone's hearts.

Even Wen Xiucheng secretly admired him.

This continued to the plot of entering the City here.

When Moyun said to leave, everyone also followed very decisively.

But that was the original plot.

Now, the plot has unfolded in such a way that when Moyun faced the strange beast breeders before, he actually 'misguided' them, causing Du Xingchen to get injured, and he hasn't even fully recovered yet.

Plus, after Moyun and Wen Xiucheng argued, they completely fell out.

The two haven't spoken a single word to each other in the past two days.

With these two factors combined, everyone still recognized Moyun as a member of their team because of their previous relationship.

Now, to say they would listen to him and leave without entering the City with him, that was really a bit far-fetched.

After all, after so many days on the road, everyone really wanted to go into the City to adjust and rest.
