After several hours of walking, the two arrived at the nearest gathering place in Cangshan Mountain.
This is a medium-sized gathering place, divided into two areas: the inner and outer areas. The outer area has no access control and only has law enforcement teams to maintain order. The inner area is heavily guarded and strangers are not allowed to enter easily.
Among them, the outer zone is a free trade zone. The scope of trade is very broad, and there are no restrictions on transactions. There is no concept of prohibited items. The only restriction here is that there can be no conflicts. If there is a conflict, you can contact the law enforcement team. If you take action without permission, you will be killed without mercy.
The rules are very simple and rough, even a little unkind, but it is such rules that have allowed this gathering place to develop. In just a few years, it has developed from a small to a medium-sized one, and in terms of the number of floating people, it has even reached a large gathering place.
side.
Stability brings wealth, and the leader of the settlement obviously understands this truth deeply.
Not only that, all the vegetation within a radius of nearly ten kilometers of the gathering place has been cleared away, and the entire field of view is unobstructed, which also prevents people from thinking about killing people and stealing goods around the gathering place.
As for how far away you are, in such a large area, if you are still killed, then don't worry about the gathering place.
When she was three kilometers away from the gathering place, some skinny children gathered around her. Sora was also very skinny, and even looked malnourished at first glance. But in fact, she didn't eat much, just because of "evolution"
, it is difficult for ordinary things to provide her with enough nutrition.
Her physical strength and explosive power are far beyond ordinary people.
These children are simply skinny.
One of the children at the head came up directly and asked if they needed help carrying the goods or being a guide.
Sora shook his head and refused.
He was familiar with flying in the air, dragging his prey to a corner on the edge of the outer area. There was a grocery store here. Actually, it is not accurate to say it was a grocery store. It also served as a tavern, black market commissions, and information selling...
Wait for functions.
The owner of the grocery store is a skinny old man, as thin as a skeleton, but with a sharp temperament.
No ordinary person can open a store in this place.
There are rumors that the owner of the grocery store was one of the first people to wake up sixty years ago, and even entered the city's decision-making circle for a time. However, something happened later and he ended up here.
There are different opinions as to whether the identity of the boss is true or false.
But there is one thing, that is, for decades, there have been strong dragons crossing the river who want to take advantage of the boss, but in the end, the boss is still the boss, but the strong dragon has disappeared.
When Kong approached the grocery store, he didn't attract much attention, but as soon as Zhao Cheng walked in, the entire space became quiet, and even many people's breathing froze.
Zhao Cheng does not have the so-called strong temperament on his body, but his height of nearly two meters, strong body, platinum hair, platinum eyes, and platinum veins are all revealed.
, the fact that he is powerful.
But the one who had the biggest reaction was the boss. After his expression changed several times, he still respectfully welcomed Zhao Cheng in.
However, the change in his expression was not because Zhao Cheng said he was powerful, but because Zhao Cheng came with Kong.
His identity is not simple. He is the emperor of the empire, leaving him as the guardian of his little daughter.
Indeed, in order to avoid the influence of the doomsday power, he lost his memory and strength, but he remembered his mission.
In short, this is also an important NPC in the early stage of the plot.
The reason why he allowed Kong to act on his own was because of the emperor's order. He was only responsible for protecting Kong and could not interfere with Kong's life.
As for the previous wild wolf pack, it was an accident. Originally, there was no such thing in this area. It was an accident because changes in the depths of the wilderness caused the wild wolf pack to migrate outward.
Otherwise, there should be no wild beasts that can threaten Sora in this area now.
Close to the city circle, the city will regularly clean up powerful creatures nearby.
Zhao Cheng and Kong appeared together, which had to make him think more. More importantly, Zhao Cheng had such a large-scale
He is deformed and can still maintain a rough human form, which means that his spiritual practice must have reached a transcendent and holy state. As for why it is rough, naturally who knows whether Zhao Cheng has scales on the place covered by his robe.
Woolen cloth?!
"Sir, this is your trophy in exchange for this."
After a while, Kong handed a few banknotes and coins to Zhao Cheng.
This is the currency issued in the city. Because there is no imitation technology in the wilderness, it is considered the most stable currency.
Zhao Cheng did not refuse and accepted the coins, but he took out a few coins. The smallest unit of banknotes is 10, and the largest unit of coins is 5. A few coins, exactly nine points.
Nine points of currency is nothing in the city, but in the wilderness, its purchasing power is very strong.
A small amount of money is enough for a family of three to survive for a week eating the lowest quality food.
"Let's eat together." Zhao Cheng invited.
"No, I can't accept gifts from others for no reason." Kong shook his head.
"This is not a gift but a thank you. The prey already belonged to me after the battle, but you helped me drag it back. It was you who acted as my guide and brought me to this gathering place." Zhao Cheng said.
.
Kong thought for a moment, nodded, and then sat on the table.
When the boss saw this scene, his expression became more and more serious. Why would such a strong man treat an ordinary girl like this?!
Could it be that the other party discovered something?!
In his understanding, the strong only dominates the weak. An elephant will not become friends with an ant. If a strong man treats a weak man for no reason, it can only prove that the strong man has great intentions.
It's just that he can't figure out Zhao Cheng's approach, otherwise he will definitely eliminate Zhao Cheng directly, regardless of whether he is good or evil.
"Zhao Cheng, Zhao Cheng, where is this place?"
"And who is the girl opposite, your illegitimate daughter?!"
"Unexpectedly, I just slept for a while, and you were outside with other things, even a child..."
"It hurts! It hurts so much!"
At this moment, a sound suddenly sounded in Zhao Cheng's ears.
It's the King of Pendant Light. This pendant has been sleeping for a long time, but it woke up at this time.
As soon as she woke up, she started talking nonsense and bad things.
"How did you make this assumption?" Zhao Cheng responded with his thoughts.
In fact, the King of Light's thinking can be transparent in front of him, but for people close to him, he will not read the other person's thinking unless necessary. This is a kind of respect.
Therefore, at this moment, Zhao Cheng really couldn't understand how the King of Light came to such a conclusion.
