At this moment, Ye Chong stood in a corner of the Animal Materials Trading Center, looking at the busy traffic around him, and couldn't help but frowning slightly, feeling emotional.
If the first reason for the proliferation of medicine shops or alchemy workshops here is the convenience of purchasing raw materials, the second reason is to improve the quality of medicines as much as possible, then the third reason is the pursuit of excellence and uniqueness.
The news from the Animal Materials Trading Center is the latest and most comprehensive.
This is very important for the apothecary shop.
Once an extremely rare treasure of heaven and earth appears, the alchemy shop in the animal material trading center can get the news immediately and go to bid or purchase it.
And what about those alchemy shops or alchemy workshops that are not located in the animal material trading center?
I'm afraid that by the time they hear the news about Tiancai Dibao, that thing will have been taken away by others.
The same situation applies to the profession of weapon refining.
After all, many of the treasures from heaven, earth, and animals are raw materials for refining weapons. Naturally, they are closer to the place, making it easier to purchase related materials.
At the same time, it is precisely because of the existence of these businesses that it has also driven the development of related industries.
For example, the sale of elixirs, the sale of warrior weapons, the development of catering and accommodation industries, etc.
In short, the Winter Animal Material Trading Center can be regarded as one of the most dynamic places in the entire city.
Here, there are huge crowds of people and busy traffic.
There is no deal that cannot be completed here.
There is no unobtainable news here.
When Ye Chong was about to turn around and leave, he saw some human warriors covered in blood passing by.
There are eight of these people in total, six of whom are junior martial arts warriors and two are intermediate martial arts warriors.
Their backpacks are filled with mutant beast materials, and they must have just returned from hunting in the wild.
As these people walked, they were still whispering to each other.
Ye Chong had already practiced spiritual power, and his perception ability was much stronger than that of ordinary people, so he naturally heard what they said clearly.
"Now that we've sold out everything, we'd better leave the winter early."
"Are you okay? I think it's just a tide of beasts."
"not that simple.
Beast tides are spontaneous gatherings of mutated beasts.
no target.
There is no direction.
To put it bluntly, it's chaos.
But……
Those mutated beasts we just encountered did not give me the slightest sense of chaos, but instead made me feel like they were more like an army."
"What?
impossible?
You mean the mutant beasts are going to attack Winter City?"
"What's impossible?
If it was really a tide of beasts, then they would have discovered us and should have all rushed towards us.
But what?
Only over a hundred SS1 level mutant beasts were pursued, but the remaining mutant beasts continued to march in the original direction.
This at least shows that their gathering this time is not spontaneous, but a purposeful action."
"Isn't the direction wrong?
Winter City is in the south, but the direction they are heading is southwest, so they should have strayed away from Winter City.
besides.
It’s impossible for just a few mutated beasts to besiege Winter, right?”
"hey-hey.
How do you know there are only so many mutant beasts?
Do you think the mutant beasts today are all fools, and if you want to besiege the city, you have to come straight over?"
"What's the meaning?"
"I suspect that the army of mutated beasts may circle to the south of Winter City, cutting off the connection between Winter and the interior, thus achieving a complete siege of Winter."
"It makes sense.
But are those guys really that smart?
I think the possibility is relatively low.”
"hey-hey.
You'd better not think that humans are too smart.
It's best not to think too stupidly about mutant beasts.
From an IQ perspective, mutant beasts that have reached SS1 level have no lower IQ than humans."
"Um?
In the past, the beast tides that occurred in the northern border were mostly of a single species.
But the mutant beasts we encountered this time came from all races.
I even found the shadow of an insect beast.
Could it be...
Are they really marching?"
"Whether it's a march or a siege, we don't need to think about it. The 100,000 defenders in the cold winter are not vegetarians. They must have already understood the real situation."
"yes.
I don't think we need to retreat south now.
Once you leave the cold winter, it will not be easy to find such a good place to make money.
After all, the efficiency of selling animal materials here is high and the prices are good.
hehe.
If we come back this time, we can make a lot of money, right?"
"Don't always think about making money.
Life is still the most important thing.
I think, after getting rid of the things, we rushed to the south of the city as soon as possible.
If you find something is wrong, leave the city immediately."
…
Ye Chong quietly followed these eight people all the way, listening to each other's conversation and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Seeing someone in the queue in front of him looking over, he quickly turned around and entered a nearby shop.
Speaking of which, he originally planned to step forward and ask, but as a high-level martial arts warrior, he could overhear the lowered voices of those people. If he really wanted to ask, it would arouse the other party's suspicion.
There is no need to reveal your identity as a Jingwu practitioner.
After returning to the military camp, he saw groups of military warriors passing through, and Ye Chong's expression suddenly turned grim.
He didn't ask anything.
It's useless to ask.
Military warriors have military discipline, and they won't tell them even if asked.
In fact, he knew at a glance that this was an urgent large-scale military mobilization.
When I think about what the hunters at the Animal Material Trading Center said, I understand that the mutated beasts are really going to attack Winter.
Ye Chong returned to the camp of the Zhongdu warriors, his expression blank.
Empty.
There are almost no people.
Fatty Wang, Hua Hong and the others are very likely to be in Winter City. It doesn't matter if they come back sooner or later.
As for the military warriors Lin Jie and Wang Ying, it is very likely that they left the city.
If you haven't entered the city at this point, you may be in danger of encountering an army of mutant beasts.
Ye Chong originally wanted to take a nap, but in this situation, he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.
Soon, he frowned and looked to the northeast.
Normally, when Lin Jie and Wang Ying leave the city, they should go to the northeast. After all, military personnel there are more active and it is relatively safer.
"Lin Jie still does things in a measured way.
Moreover, many years of military life have given him a keen sense of danger.
From a safety perspective, it shouldn’t be a big problem, right?”
While Ye Chong was thinking wildly, he saw a tall and strong Zhongdu warrior coming back in a hurry. Before he could speak, the other party said: "The mutated beasts are laying siege to the city."
"What?" Ye Chong frowned and looked at the person whose name he couldn't remember for a while, "Where did you get the news?"
"It has spread on the street." The tall and strong Zhongdu warrior continued, "And the TV news reported it, and the loudspeaker also broadcast it."
