Qianye got up and moved his body, dispelling the paralysis and abnormality on his body. The ability this woman just used was force shock, which was essentially the same as Qianye's original method of hitting the tree, but the technique was extremely superb, far beyond Qianye's.
level.
In Qianye's memory, the supreme secret method of the Yin family of the empire is famous for its force vibration. However, this secret method requires too much force and is too difficult to practice. Often, no one can succeed in practicing it in several generations.
.So the Yin family has always been lingering among the top-grade families. There is no risk of being demoted, but there is no hope of promotion.
This foreign woman's force power is only at level five or six, but she can resonate with Qianye's force power and interfere with his actions. The force vibrations she sends out are incredibly powerful. I think it's probably related to the black forest environment, and the other pair
The strange metal ring may be the key. &nb［][］Novel sp;Qianye glanced deep into the black forest. It seemed that this was one of the sources of danger.
He did not try to track her. The woman did not leave any traces when she moved, and the force aura completely disappeared under the dual effects of the force shock and the power of the sea. So Qianye continued walking towards the town.
The road was calm after that, and Qianye came to the town again. The two guards at the town gate saw something strange on their faces when they saw the wooden board Qianye was carrying behind him. They looked like they were looking at a dead person. The two exchanged glances.
, one of the guards asked Qianye: "Are you here to pay taxes or to exchange things?"
"Both."
"Okay, then follow me." The guard then led Qianye into the town and walked directly to the largest building in the center. Everyone he met along the way showed shock when they saw the wooden board behind Qianye
, some people even whispered. However, under the warning of the guard's stern eyes, no one dared to discuss it privately.
The building was actually a trading market, with dozens of stalls selling everything. The tax payment area had been squeezed into a corner, and it was only the space for two stalls. Qianye put a wooden board and a small bag
When we arrived at the tax counter, an old man with a sharp face behind the counter twitched a few times when he saw the wooden board. Then he opened his pocket and took a look, and his greed suddenly appeared again.
There is a bag full of golden snails in her pocket, which are the result of Little Zhuji and Nighteye. Golden snails are naturally good at hiding and are difficult for ordinary people to find. Little Zhuji was not good at searching, but Nighteye taught her to use her nose.
, and all the golden snails on the entire beach were suddenly affected. The spider demon's sense of smell was comparable to that of a werewolf.
The old man took his pocket and started to collect it. While collecting it, he said: "Although these taxes are not enough, since you are new here, I will take care of you and clear this month's taxes for you."
There was a snap, and Qianye held his hand down halfway before he reached it. "Did you miscalculate?"
The old man suddenly screamed as if his tail had been stepped on: "Am I wrong? I have been collecting taxes here for more than ten years, will I be wrong? Boy, I tell you, take your paws away! Otherwise,
My nephew will teach you how to behave!"
Qianye's face was expressionless, and his hands gradually tightened. The old man was only at the third or fourth level of strength, so if he could resist, his arm bones began to make a rattling sound. He screamed like a murderer, shouting: "Come here, kill him!
He resists taxes!”
Two guards surrounded him, one on the left and the other on the right. They used thick iron bars covered with barbs and smashed them on Qianye's head. If these two blows were serious, everyone below the general would be seriously injured.
Qianye waved his left hand and casually took off the two iron bars, then lifted up the guard on the left and hit the guard on the right directly. The two men's heads collided with each other, making a tooth-piercing muffled sound, and both fell to the ground fainted.
go.
Qianye put the two iron rods together and twisted them together, turning them into a thick rod. Although the two iron rods were not made of very good materials, they were both about the thickness of a fist, and they were both as thick as Qianye's.
Ye casually twisted them into one body, causing everyone onlookers to take a breath of air.
Although Qianye let go, the old man also forgot to take the bag back.
Qianye pulled out the old man's hand, pressed it on the stage, and said: "If you want black money, you have to find out who it is. And you guys, what you receive is just a salary, not money to buy your life. Don't do it for a share."
The paycheck kills me.”
As soon as Qianye said this, several guards who came after hearing the news didn't know what to do. Qianye was obviously not a good person, and he had real murderous intent. The salary they received was really worthless.
Qianye stopped talking, raised the twisted iron bars, and smashed them down on the old man's hand!
The old man let out a scream that echoed through the night, but his hand was like a steel hoop, and he couldn't take it back no matter what. Just when the hand was about to be smashed to pieces, the iron bar was suddenly held up by someone.
Stopped just above the old man's arm.
Qianye turned around and saw that the person holding the iron bar was a small knife, the young man who sent him to the territory. Although he was young, his Force cultivation was quite good, and he even had an eighth level. Qianye's face was indifferent,
Before Xiao Dao could say anything, the force passed through the iron bars and charged at the knife several times.
The knife felt like being hit by a giant hammer, and his face turned a little red with each blow. Finally, his handsome face turned red and purple, and just when he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood, the force impact suddenly disappeared.
Qianye said calmly: "The tax rate you told me yesterday seemed to be much less than the actual amount. Will the tax rate be revised in just one day?"
Xiaodao finally calmed down his energy and blood, and looked at Qianye with deep fear in his eyes. He knew that Qianye was merciful, otherwise, if there were a few more force attacks, he would have to vomit blood and be seriously injured.
But what he didn't know was that if Qianye was willing, a Force blast could make him explode and die.
"You want to cause trouble here? Don't forget, this is the territory of the Wolf King!" Xiao Dao said threateningly.
Qianye said calmly: "The Wolf King wouldn't want to see his subordinates put his money into his own pocket. Also, no matter whose territory this is, we can't control that some people suddenly died in their rooms in the middle of the night.
Isn’t it?”
"You" Xiaodao stared at Qianye fiercely, but when he saw that Qianye was not moved at all, he suddenly became discouraged and his murderous intent subsided. Qianye's threat was real. If he broke into the house in the middle of the night, even Xiaodao himself would not be able to fight back.
Strength. The Neutral Land is very realistic, and no one will waste time on dead people.
So Xiaodao still chose to bow to reality, pointed to the old man, and said: "This is my uncle. Considering his age, let's just forget it this time. How about this? I'll cut your tax in half this month."
.”
"Okay." Qianye didn't hesitate, took back the iron rod and threw it on the ground.
The old man still collected his pockets, but found back a dozen imperial gold coins. The amount of money exceeded Qianye's original expectation, but according to Xiaodao, the golden snails he picked were of high quality and were worth so much money.
"How about we find a place to have a drink later? Tell me what you want to buy and I will help you arrange it." Xiao Dao said.
"That's fine." Qianye was just wanting to talk to someone to learn more about the distribution of forces in the neutral land.
A moment later, Xiaodao and Qianye were sitting in the tavern. After a few glasses of wine, both of them were a little shaken, and their words seemed much more casual.
After chatting for a while, Qianye had a general understanding of the Neutral Land. The Neutral Land was originally a place where pirates, desperadoes and native races lived. However, with the continuous arrival of strong men from the two camps, the balance of power has
Changes have taken place accordingly. The dominant races here are now humans, werewolves, vampires, spider demons and native races. With the arrival of a mysterious strong man from the vampire race with the Broken Years, the vampire race has risen strongly and has become the first race in the neutral land.
But the relationship between the various races is much more complicated than the two camps. For example, the Eastern Wilderness is the sphere of influence of the human race, but the Wolf King who now manages the Eastern Wilderness is actually a werewolf. There was a big war thirty years ago.
, he was defeated miserably at the hands of Zhang Buzhou, the strongest man in the human race, so he surrendered and was sent to Donghuang Town.
Zhang Buzhou not only has the Wolf King under his command, but there are also many strong men from other dark races, even slightly more than the human race. The same is true for other dark strong men who are on different sides, including all races under his command, and there are also human races. In contrast,
In other words, only the native races are the purest. They hate all outsiders. This has not changed for thousands of years.
In a neutral land, camp is no longer the basis for dividing forces; strength and territory are the unchanging standards.
The Eastern Wasteland is very vast, and the Wolf King only occupies about half of the territory. Although it is half, the actual area that is inhabited is only a very small area. If nothing else, the terrifying temperature difference between day and night will destroy all ordinary ordinary people who are not strong enough.
People are blocked outside. In the Eastern Wasteland, opening up the wilderness is the main goal, but there has been little progress over the years.
After roughly understanding the layout of the neutral land, Qianye changed the topic and asked: "What dangers are there in the Black Forest?"
Xiaodao suddenly smiled awkwardly and said, "What did you see?"
"Don't worry about it for now, tell me what you know."
Xiao Dao knew that he couldn't get through, so he had to say: "The black forest is very strange, and its coverage often changes. Where there is a black forest, there are usually native races. There is a deadly feud between us and the native races. Not only us,
The same is true between vampires, werewolves, all foreign races and native races. For example, the current Dreamland Kingdom in the Central Continent was once the capital of the native races. Later, all the native races above were killed and the Dreamland Kingdom was built.
.”
Qianye nodded, this kind of thing was also very common in the history of empire development.
Xiaodao continued: "There is a strange connection between the black forest and the native races. The native races hate logging very much. As long as the trees in the black forest are cut down, they will attract their hatred and may even be hunted down."
"Then you still include the timber from the Black Forest in the scope of taxation?"
Xiaodao looked a little embarrassed and said: "That's right, the wood produced in the Black Forest is of excellent quality and will not decay if left for hundreds of years. It is the best material for making aerostats and sea boats, and it is also the highest-grade fuel. The wood from the Black Forest is of the highest quality.
The wood has a special smell, and when sailing in the East China Sea, the ferocious beasts in the sea will regard it as the same group and turn a blind eye. Also, another thing."
"In addition, if newcomers accidentally cut down the Black Forest, they will be resented by the native race and can only seek your protection, right?" Qianye sneered.
