When Zhang Tie saw Eskil City for the first time, he thought of Karur. As the only city in the ice and snow wasteland, Eskil can be regarded as a majestic city.
Eskil City is also a huge city built on the mountain. Standing on the pier, what Zhang Tie saw was a tall gray city wall in the distance shrouded in drizzle, a unique feeling in the ice and snow wasteland.
The breath of wildness came to my face.
The feeling that Eskil City gave Zhang Tie, apart from being big, was that it only had a roughness that revealed a hard temperament.
The pioneers who got off the Aurora quickly left the dock one by one. The business of taxis and animal-drawn vehicles on the dock was extremely hot. There were also several high-end black cars parked at the deck ladder. From the Aurora
Several people who seemed to have high status came from the VIP area at No. 1 and got into the black car as soon as they arrived at the pier. The black car shook slightly and got into the rain curtain.
Zhang Tie looked at the car that Star-Moon Sword Saint Samaranch was riding in and squinted his eyes slightly. Could it be that there are really fragments of the Star of God in the underground leading to the cracks in the Hydra Glacier in the southern part of the ice and snow wasteland? Otherwise, why are there even
People like Samaranch traveled thousands of miles to come to the ice and snow wasteland at this time?
In the past few days, Samaranch's purpose of coming to the ice and snow wasteland has been spread all over the Aurora. Everyone firmly believes that Samaranch came for the fragments of the Star of God, and Samaranch himself also
There is no denying it, this is intriguing.
The cold hair on Zhang Tie's neck felt the disturbance of the airflow behind him, and his ears heard the familiar sound of footsteps. So Zhang Tie did not avoid it, but stood there and let the hand pat his shoulder.
"Peter, what do you think? Do you want to come with us?"
Sam and Gerry each carried a tall pioneer bag and wore a waterproof cloak, and walked out from behind Zhang Tie.
"Are you going to the Hydra Glacier Fissure?" Zhang Tie asked them.
"Of course, aren't the pioneers who came here this time all going for the ruins there and the fragments of the Star of God?" Sam said matter-of-factly.
"We probably don't have a share in the fragments of the Star of God, but if there really are ruins, we might be able to get a handful of the things in the ruins!" Gree added.
"I want to try my luck elsewhere. Now my goal is to improve my strength as much as possible! The Hydra Glacier fissure is too busy now. If I go there, I probably won't be able to catch much." Zhang Tie said with a smile,
He was already a target on Demonic Snake Island, and Zhang Tie did not want to bring the unknown danger to his two new friends.
Moreover, he did not come to the ice and snow wasteland for some ruins or fragments of the Star of God. Although the latter two things are indeed very attractive, especially the fragments of the Star of God, it is said that they have many magical effects. But Zhang
Tie knows his abilities and abilities. He knows that even if there are fragments of the Star of God, he will never have his share. Just look at Samaranch and compete with people of this level.
Thing, I really don’t know how to write the word “death”.
Samaranch can come. Then other strong men of similar level to him may also come. Why would a little shrimp like me join in the fun? It is more serious for him to collect the seven power fruits honestly. It is impossible for people to do so.
You always live by luck.
"Well, let's meet again if we have the chance. Let's go to the Hydra Glacier Fissure first. If things there are over and we want to leave there, we will return to Eskil City. We will stay here for a long time.
Time, Sam and I both plan to advance to level six in the Ice and Snow Wasteland before we consider going anywhere else. There are several entrances to the underground world in the Ice and Snow Wasteland, and it is convenient to gather fighting energy! You will have to look for it later.
We can just go to the Pioneer Bar in Eskil City and ask someone about it!"
"Then I wish you both good luck. By the way, let me give you something before leaving!" Zhang Tie said, taking out two full-effect potions from his potion bag and handing them to each of them.
Sam and Gerry. Anyway, more and more full-effect potions are flowing out now, and Zhang Tie is not afraid of exposing his identity by giving away two potions.
"What kind of potion is this?" Sam and Gerry each took one and looked at it curiously.
"These are some full potions given to me by others!"
"Full potion?"
The faces of the two young pioneers were full of doubts. Looking at the expressions of these two people, Zhang Tie knew that they had not heard about the full potion. For most pioneers, full potion was
The newly emerged medicine, the highly effective potion, is still far away from their lives. It is estimated that they will have to wait at least a few more months before they know what the full potion is.
"This medicine can be used as a primary detoxification medicine. You can also use it if you are injured or need to replenish your strength or even encounter some minor problems such as colds and coughs!"
"Haha, it sounds good, and the packaging of this potion is not bad either, so thank you!"
The two people put away the potion. They seemed a little skeptical about what Zhang Tie said. They felt that Zhang Tie's words might be a bit exaggerated. However, Zhang Tie was also kind-hearted, so the two people still expressed their gratitude to Zhang Tie.
The three of them said goodbye at the dock. Yiler was still tossing around with the goods he had brought this time on the boat. He probably wouldn't be able to get off the boat for a while. Zhang Tie had already greeted him when he got off the boat, so there was no need to say anything else at this time.
wait.
After leaving the pier, most of the pioneers went directly to find a car near the pier. Without waiting for a moment, they sat in the car and left.
On the map, the Hydra Glacier fissure is in the southern part of the ice and snow wasteland, and its relative position is in the wilderness 2,000 kilometers northwest of Eskil City. There is a small town about 300 kilometers west of Eskil City.
, called Chata, this is the furthest place that all wheeled vehicles in Eskil can reach.
All the pioneers who wanted to make a fortune in the Hydra Glacier Cracks, the first destination they chose after arriving in the ice and snow wasteland was Shatta. After arriving there, everyone showed their talents and went to the Hydra Glacier Cracks. Either to die or not.
Just leave it to fate.
The distance is 300 kilometers. If everything goes well, the pioneers will take the transportation to Xiata in the morning and spend the night in Xiatta in the evening, so no one wants to waste time.
Zhang Tie watched with his own eyes as Sam, Gerry, and more than a dozen pioneers bargained with a truck driver, then got into a half-new truck driven by the truck driver, and then disappeared into the rain.
.
Not long after Sam and Gerry left, the rain began to get heavier all of a sudden. The raindrops were blown directly into Zhang Tie's neck, making Zhang Tie shiver. Zhang Tie looked at Eski in the distance.
He tightened his waterproof cloak in front of the tall city walls of Ercheng, and then left the dock area...
…
Five minutes later, Zhang Tie lined up at the gate of the south side of Eskil City. He followed the team that wanted to enter the city and was interrogated, and then paid the entrance fee.
Although it was raining heavily at this time, it was like a downpour. The queues at the city gate were exposed to the heavy rain, but the people in the queue were very well-behaved.
They lined up honestly. No one messed around. The reason was that the two teams at the gate of Eskil City were heavily armed soldiers with an average height of more than 2.2 meters, so anyone who wanted to mess around couldn't help but beat them up.
Chills.
The two groups of soldiers wore strange-shaped bear-head helmets made of steel, which looked particularly frightening.
The person in line in front of Zhang Tie was a tall warrior. The warrior actually carried a leather spear pouch. The spear pouch contained six metal flying spears.
The two groups of soldiers guarding the city gate seemed to pay special attention to the man carrying the spear pouch. Zhang Tie found that since the guy first lined up, the eyes of many of the two groups of soldiers at the city gate had been focused on him intentionally or unintentionally.
On this warrior carrying a spear pouch.
This made the soldier a little nervous. He checked himself from head to toe several times to see if there was anything wrong.
Compared with the attention that the soldier carrying the spear pouch received, Zhang Tie couldn't help but frown slightly when he thought about himself. Zhang Tie, who had just left the Aurora, found that he was being stared at, and the people who kept staring at him kept
After following him out of the port, she was now among the crowd behind him, but her eyes never moved away from him.
Zhang Tie, who was queuing on one side, gently rubbed his right hand on the ordinary ring on the ring finger of his left hand. If it hadn't been for this ring, he might not have noticed that he was being watched as soon as he got off the boat.
The ring was a gift given to him by Olina when she left the island of St. Helena. It is a very rare rune equipment called the "Ring of Awareness".
There are two rune effects attached to the Ring of Awareness. One rune effect increases the perception ability of Zhang Tie's facial features by 8%, and the other rune effect is a visual trigger. As long as someone is staring at Zhang Tie from behind,
If the concentration time exceeds 20 seconds and the thoughts in his heart are not so friendly, this ring will remind Zhang Tie.
20 seconds is a limit. Whether it is a stranger or a friend, it is rare for someone to stare intently at a person behind his back for more than 20 seconds. Moreover, human eyes are a medium that can transmit a message that carries a message.
The special spiritual energy of personal emotions and psychological activities, the visual triggering ability of this ring, seems to be able to receive and perceive the energy that others invest in a person through their own eyes, thus reminding the person being watched to know.
This effect on the ring is very rare. It is like an invisible protective umbrella. Just with this effect, Zhang Tie knew that the rune ring given to him by Olina must be very precious. This kind of effect can be directly given to the wearer.
Rune equipment with certain unique abilities has always been a relatively rare item, and is rarely seen even in auction houses.
When leaving the dock, Zhang Tie's finger wearing the Ring of Awareness felt slightly numb. Only then did Zhang Tie realize that he was being stared at. The person staring at him was very skilled and knew how to manipulate people in different environments and crowds.
He hid it himself. If it weren't for the ring, Zhang Tie really wouldn't have discovered it.
After being reminded by the ring, Zhang Tie ran all the way and found the guy who was staring at him when he arrived at the city gate.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhang Tie's mouth. A little unknown person like himself was being watched as soon as he arrived in the ice and snow wasteland. Besides the people from Demon Snake Island, would there be anyone else?
For a force like Demonic Snake Island, it is normal for a place as important as the Ice and Snow Wasteland to have several manpower and intelligence points. The people on Demonic Snake Island must have informed the people here through long-distance communication of the news that they came here on the Aurora.
You know, it’s not very difficult to find someone who matches your appearance among the passengers disembarking from the Aurora...
These offal!
When it was his turn to interrogate the soldier carrying the spear pouch, a leader-looking man from the two groups of soldiers came over in person and looked at the man carefully.
"Is this your first time in the ice and snow wasteland?" The person who asked the question looked very oppressive, but his voice was quite gentle, or a bit too gentle. It didn't match his overall temperament. In Zhang Tie's opinion,
, a guy like this should usually yell when he talks.
"Yes!" the soldier replied.
"What are you here for?"
"I heard that a beast wave broke out in some places in the ice and snow wasteland. I'm here to hone my combat skills and make some money on the way!"
"Well, then go in, you don't have to pay the city fee!" The person who asked the question looked at the man carefully and then waved his hand.
This actually made the soldier who was carrying the spear pouch stunned. He didn't know whether he should put the silver coin entrance fee in one hand into the box in front of him, "You said... I don't have to pay the city entrance fee?"
"Yes, all warriors who use flying spears will not have to pay the entrance fee when entering Eskil City in the future. This is a rule that Eskil City established just a few days ago!"
The soldier carrying the spear bag laughed. No matter where he goes, it always makes people happy to receive preferential treatment. "Thank you!"
"If you are confident in your skills in throwing flying spears, you can go to Ural Lake to participate in the Falcon Conference held in the ice and snow wasteland in a few days. The winner of this year's Falcon Conference will receive a set of rune flying spears made of star iron.
Spear!" When the warrior carrying the spear pouch was about to leave, the leader-looking man who asked him suddenly said something.
This sentence made the warrior who had taken a few steps turn around again, his eyes widened, and he swallowed hard, "What are you talking about, a set of rune flying spears made of star iron?"
"good."
"Can anyone participate?"
"Yes, anyone, regardless of age or race, as long as they are capable, can go, and I heard that the winner may also win the favor of the saints from several tribes in the ice and snow wasteland!"
Even Zhang Tie heard the latter words, and it was obvious that he was instigating him. However, the person listening took two heavy breaths, nodded heavily, and left with the spear pouch on his back. It seemed that
I have firmly remembered these words in my heart.
The rune flying spears made of star iron, and they come in sets, are also favored by tribal saints. The temptation for men is not ordinary, whether they like money, like women, like to be in the limelight or like gods.
As long as a man with a sharp weapon hears such news, he probably won't be able to resist such a temptation.
Even Zhang Tie's heart moved when he heard such words, wondering if he should join in the fun and see the abilities of those masters who use flying spears.
Oh, by the way, from what that person said, the special treatment for these warriors who use flying spears only started a few days ago. What is the reason for this? The ice and snow wasteland seems to be a bit lively recently.
Although he was pondering this in his mind, Zhang Tie could not have imagined that such an inexplicable thing might be related to him.
It was Zhang Tie's turn. The leader-like man who had just interrogated the soldier looked at Zhang Tie with a slight frown. Whether it was the look of Zhang Tie's pretty face or his pioneer attire, the man didn't like it very much.
"Are you a pioneer?"
"yes!"
"Then you need to pay four silver coins to enter the city!" the leader said in a cold voice.
"Ah, why do others have two, and some people give it for free, but how come I have four silver coins?" Zhang Tie shouted unconvinced.
"The pioneers are all people who want to come to the ice and snow wasteland to make a fortune. Everyone wants to take something from here, but they don't want to contribute anything. There is nothing so cheap in this world, so the entrance fee for the pioneers is doubled!" That person was somewhat agitated.
He waved his hands impatiently. The tall and powerful warriors around him also looked at Zhang Tie with unkind eyes. It seemed that as long as Zhang Tie dared to jump up, they would not mind giving Zhang Tie a severe beating here.
appearance.
Zhang Tie took out four silver coins and threw them into the box without saying a word, and then rushed into Esquier City without looking back.
When leaving the city gate, Zhang Tie heard someone behind him murmuring, "What's wrong with learning at a young age? Why do you want to be a pioneer and wait for gold coins to fall from the sky? Humph!"
"These pioneers are similar to hyenas. They burrow wherever there is the smell of carrion and run away when there is trouble. I think I should give you a suggestion. In the future, Eskil City should ban pioneers from entering. These guys
It’s of no use at all!”
"Wrong. The map drawn by these guys is still of some use. There are still many uninhabited areas in the ice and snow wasteland that these guys need to explore, so these guys are not useless!"
"If it weren't for this, I don't think a pioneer should be allowed to set foot in the ice and snow wilderness..."
"This is something adults worry about!"
Zhang Tie started running, as if he was trying to find a place to take shelter from the rain. He immediately put the comments behind him. After leaving the city gate 50 meters away, Zhang Tie saw a figure out of the corner of his eye who was also anxious.
He hurriedly followed himself into the city.
Zhang Tie's eyes turned cold and he saw a remote alley not far ahead. Because it was raining, there were almost no people in the alley. Zhang Tie immediately got in...
In less than half a minute, a figure also came here. Without hesitation for half a second, he followed him in...
It rained heavily and the weather became gloomy!
The rainwater flowing down from the roofs and eaves of the buildings next to the alley formed two tall and fine waterfalls on both sides of the alley, and the ground in the entire alley was covered with water half a finger high.
Zhang Tie seemed to be hiding from the rain. He stood close to the eaves of a house at a corner of the alley, squinting and looking at the curtain of water flowing down from his head.
There was a flash of lightning in the sky, and the whole earth turned white for an instant. A few seconds later, there was a rumble, and a muffled rolling thunder came from the sky. In the midst of this rolling thunder, there was a rush of footsteps from the alley.
came, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed around the corner and turned around...
As soon as the man turned around, he saw Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie also looked at him and smiled. As soon as the man's expression changed, Zhang Tie took action...
Water droplets splashed, and Zhang Tie moved like thunder...
That person's hand was not bad, just not bad. He was estimated to be around level six. Such strength was not enough for Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie's movements were very fast, sharp and fierce. In less than two seconds, the man groaned and his neck was caught by Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie grabbed the man's neck and used the terrifying force of a bull to hit him hard.
He smashed the man's entire back against a stone wall next to the alley.
The man's feet were off the ground. When Zhang Tie hit him against the wall, he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood. The spurted blood fell into the water on the ground and was quickly diluted by the rushing water.
, flowing in circles into the drainage system.
The rolling thunder that just sounded in the sky just ended its final aftertaste at this time...
"No... don't kill me, I... will give you all the money I have!" Before Zhang Tie could say anything, the guy whose neck was stuck against the wall by Zhang Tie spoke, his tone full of panic.
Just like an ordinary person encountering a robber.
Zhang Tie smiled, this guy was quite smart. At this time, he had to clear himself of suspicion and relax himself as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Besides you, who else is there in Eskil City on Demon Snake Island?" Zhang Tie asked directly.
"I...I don't know what you are talking about?" The man's expression was quite blank, but Zhang Tie, who had been staring at him, saw the look in this guy's eyes when he said the three words "Devil Snake Island"
The pupils shrank involuntarily.
A person's mouth can lie, but his eyes can't. This is the knowledge Tang De taught Zhang Tie. If this guy has nothing to do with Devil Snake Island, then when he suddenly said the word Devil Snake Island, what would happen to this guy's eyes?
The pupils either have no reaction or become enlarged. The lack of response or enlargement of the pupils means that this guy has either never heard of Demon Snake Island or is confused as to why he asked this question. If the pupils shrink, that is
It shows that this guy is extremely nervous. The three words "Devil Snake Island" have hit his mark.
"For the last time, I don't have time to waste with you. Who is the person sent by Demon Snake Island to hunt me down? Tell me everything you know and I will spare your life. Then you can leave Esquier City and escape by yourself.
, don’t worry about the people from Demon Snake Island retaliating against you..." Zhang Tie’s voice was as calm as Gu Jing Wubo.
"I really don't know what you are talking about, my money..." The man's blank expression instantly turned into great pain and distortion. He lowered his eyes and looked at Zhang Tie's other hand from under his left rib.
He stabbed the dagger into his body until it had no handle. He wanted to scream, but his neck was stuck by Zhang Tie and he couldn't make any sound. Before finally closing his eyes, he glanced at Zhang Tie, and there was something in his eyes.
, there was a trace of regret, and a trace of surprise, as if he couldn't believe that Zhang Tie was so cruel, and instantly buried his little cleverness and luck underground...
"I told you, I don't have time to waste with you!" Zhang Tie let go, and the man fell to the ground as limply as mud. A large amount of blood was left on his body, staining the ground of the alley red.
Zhang Tieze quickly disappeared into the rain curtain in the alley...
A few minutes later, another figure rushed into the alley. When that person turned around, he saw the guy who was killed by Zhang Tie.
