In the following time, Tang Zhen rushed on the road non-stop. During this period, he would also put away the hover shuttle, and then rely on the magic flying carpet and his own flying skills to get on the road.
In this way, his speed has undoubtedly increased a lot, and he is getting closer and closer to the edge of the war zone!
When he rushed out of a red desert, he finally saw a huge barrier suddenly appearing on the horizon in front of him!
It spans the entire land from left to right, like a huge city wall, completely separating the two war zones.
After seeing this mountain range that almost reached into the sky, Tang Zhen knew that the rumors were true, and also understood why those powerful monks could not easily cross here!
At a glance, this dangerous mountainous area is simply boundless, and ferocious monsters can be seen flashing through the mountains and forests from time to time.
And just near the edge of the mountains, there is an area that covers an extremely large area and is crowded with people everywhere. It is the homeless market established here!
Tents, adobe houses, stone houses, cellars, and houses made of logs can be seen everywhere here.
These buildings are scattered and disorderly, built haphazardly at the foot of the rugged mountains, crisscrossed by gravel roads.
Monks and wanderers with different appearances all make a living here, and foreign businessmen, large and small, are regular visitors here.
Human life is not valuable here. People die almost every day. In the corpse dumping hole outside the market, the bones are already piled up like a mountain, and the height is still increasing!
Tang Zhen's target this time is two alien national-level buildings, and he is also operating across a war zone. Once he succeeds, he will inevitably be wanted by the platform in the war zone where the alien buildings are located.
In this way, not only would he be surrounded by enemies in the opposite war zone, but even in the area in front of him, there would be countless monks who had learned the news, hoping to use Tang Zhen's head in exchange for rewards.
So a proper makeover is very necessary for Tang Zhen!
Fortunately, Tang Zhen had already downloaded a suitable application, which could easily change his body shape and appearance, and he was able to use it now.
He found a forest and got into it. When he came out again, Tang Zhen's appearance was completely different.
At this moment, his face was full of weathered color, and he looked like a lord monk who had experienced many vicissitudes of life, without any conspicuous items that attracted attention.
A set of old battle armor, covered with a cloak woven from some kind of monster hair, and carrying a bag and a sword on his back.
This kind of dress is very common among the monks in Loucheng. It is not conspicuous when thrown into a crowd, and the sense of presence is extremely low.
This is the best shape calculated and simulated by Tang Zhen after screening and analysis through the [Universal Electronic Toolkit]. It is most suitable for hiding one's identity in such a chaotic place, while also avoiding unnecessary trouble.
After confirming that it was correct, Tang Zhen walked slowly towards the homeless market along the road that had been trampled by countless people.
Ten minutes later, Tang Zhen arrived at the entrance of the market and stepped into it under the gaze of several foreign monks.
Unlike other homeless markets, there is no fee to enter here because there are no defensive barriers around the market.
However, here you are not allowed to set up stalls and do business casually. You must go to a designated location and pay different amounts of fees before you can get a business site of your own.
Walking along the barren road, Tang Zhen walked straight to the central area of the market.
Along the way, you can see monks carrying various weapons on their backs, wanderers with miserable and cowering faces, and in the gaps between pedestrians, there are often half-clothed children running through the streets.
If they encounter a fat sheep worth seizing, these children don't mind acting as snitches. After neatly taking away the valuable items, they immediately disappear around the corner of the street, never to be found again.
When passing by a house built of logs and mudstone, several women with scantily clad clothes and charming eyebrows were greeting passers-by, and their words were full of temptation.
"Come in and take a rest. It won't delay much. I guarantee that I will serve you to your satisfaction!"
"We have a new girl here. Her body is very soft. Why don't you come in and give it a try?"
Explicit words and wanton laughter came from the mouths of these women and monks. Their words and deeds were quite unscrupulous and they didn't care about the people coming and going.
When Tang Zhen passed by, the women greeted him habitually and then turned their attention elsewhere.
In fact, his appearance is too ordinary, so even these wandering warblers who sell meat and laugh, and never reject anyone who comes, will subconsciously ignore his existence.
After walking for about ten minutes, Tang Zhen arrived at the center of the market and entered a tavern on the street.
The structure of this tavern is simple. Logs are used as pillars, yellow mud mixed with crushed grass is used to paste the walls, and then it is simply painted.
More than twenty tables were placed on the ground made of rammed loess. Monks in various costumes gathered together in twos and threes. After ordering two plates of side dishes, they drank turbid wine in mouthfuls.
A strange smell floated in the air, making Tang Zhen sniffle slightly, then he found an empty table and sat down.
At the table next to him, several monks looked at Tang Zhen with hidden eyes, and then started talking loudly.
"Hey, have you heard that Tucker and his gang were trapped? They disturbed the king-level monsters while transporting goods. As a result, more than 300 monks were all swallowed by the monsters. In the end, only four of them escaped!"
"Hey, I think it's only a matter of time before something happens to him. Who made him so greedy? He ran away three times in a row in just half a year. He'll be damned if nothing happens!"
"I don't know if they have any good things left. Why don't we go and take a look?"
"Quickly stop for a while. Do you know how many monks are looking for Tucker's cargo route? I heard that all the treasures he has accumulated are hidden in the caves along that route!
I heard someone say that the four unlucky guys who escaped were taken away as soon as they entered the market and were thrown into the corpse cave last night!
If you guys have lived enough, you can get involved, but I won't go anyway!"
Several monks murmured to each other, with greed flashing from time to time in their eyes. They were obviously very interested in the shipping route and the so-called hidden treasure left by Tucker.
But they are also quite self-aware, knowing that based on their cultivation level, they will definitely die if they get involved!
Tang Zhen's eyes moved and he secretly remembered this matter.
For the monks who hang out here, the tavern is the best place for information dissemination. From the mouths of these people, you can hear everything that has happened in recent times.
Tang Zhen sat silently in the corner, quietly listening to everyone's discussions and picking out information that was useful to him.
It didn't take long for everyone to ignore Tang Zhen and even forget about his existence. Only when their eyes swept over his location, they unexpectedly discovered that there was someone sitting there.
Not long after, a pot of turbid wine, a plate of meat slices boiled in salt water, and a plate of sauce made from some kind of beans were placed on Tang Zhen's table.
Tang Zhen picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth and took a bite. He found that it was particularly chewy and the meat had a strong aroma. It was obviously a rare delicacy.
It is said that this piece of meat comes from a monster that lives in the dangerous areas of the mountains. It looks like a bison but has six horns on its head. It likes to live in groups. Because of its low level and good meat quality, it is often hunted by monks!
There are not many edible monsters in the Loucheng world. Most of the monsters have sour and fishy meat, and contain various toxins. If they enter the stomach, they will cause vomiting and diarrhea, which is extremely painful.
Even monks can't bear this kind of torture, let alone ordinary wanderers, so even if they see the monster's corpse, no one has ever gone to cut the flesh and eat it.
Really edible monsters are quite rare, and the price of animal meat is quite good, so once they encounter an edible monster, the monks will almost never let it go.
Tang Zhen picked up another piece of meat, dipped it in the dark sauce, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
No wonder the tavern's boss would give Tang Zhen a plate of sauce when he ordered this kind of meat slices. It turns out that when the two are eaten together, the taste is even more delicious and mellow.
After pouring a glass of wine made from plant tubers, Tang Zhen took a sip when he saw a young man suddenly walk in at the door.
