A big river, immeasurably wide and mighty, with waves crashing on the shore, stretching across the north and south.
What a big river, with magnificent waves!
This river is the second largest river within thousands of miles, spanning almost three to four thousand miles from north to south. The water flow is rapid and does not freeze all year round.
The north and south areas across the river are extremely cold in the north and warm in the south. The types of monsters in the two places are different, so there is mutual trade of monster materials to get what each other needs. Also, the north grows few vegetables and fruits, but is rich in rice and grain.
There are many vegetables and fruits in the south, but white rice is not as sweet as in the north.
Regional differences will lead to different needs, which will lead to the prosperity of trade, so the caravan exchanges between the north and the south are extremely popular.
An immeasurable number of business travel teams resell goods in the north and south and earn profits from them. And this big river has become the most convenient means of transportation, with large ships coming and going in an endless stream. Whether it is merchants selling goods,
Passers-by who have other urgent matters will take a boat down the river, which is much more trouble-free than riding a horse or cart.
However, since there are so many passenger ships and the river is so long, it is profitable. Naturally, there are many desperadoes who have taken up the business of bandits, taking desperate risks and robbing passing ships. This has also made the bandit gangs earn a lot of money and become rich.
It has to leak oil. Therefore, the merchant ships of some families will bring guards with them to protect their safety; and the ships of weaker forces will inevitably hire some mercenary teams to guard the ships.
Qingdian City, a small town by the river, is originally very ordinary. However, because the river bank is particularly wide and the river is deep, it has become an important dock. There are many ships loading and unloading goods, and Qingdian City is very prosperous, with busy scenes happening everywhere.
.
At the dock of Qingdian City, there are many shirtless men who carry goods for the ships and earn money. But in an area to the north of the dock, there are many men wearing soft armor and armor. These people have the aura of vitality.
Rich, they are mercenaries waiting to be recruited by merchant ships.
Next to a teahouse, there is a mercenary team named "Ping'an". There are only five members, and their strength is between the Yuanwang realm who have condensed several times.
The captain of the mercenary group is called Hu Bing. He is dressed in green soft armor and is extremely capable. He has rich experience as a ship guard mercenary. He has been in this industry since he was young and has been working for more than 20 years.
The young man has turned into a veteran of the martial arts world who can express his emotions and anger. Hu Bing's strength is also the strongest, having reached the realm of the Three-Condensed Pill Yuan King.
As for the other four team members, three are middle-aged people in their thirties or forties, and the last one is an extremely young boy.
The youngest member of the team was facing the teahouse with his back turned. His back was a little thin, but it was extremely straight, like a standing spear.
Sitting next to the young team member was a man with a full beard. The man smiled and said: "Brother Lin Feng, you are so young, why did you start a mercenary mission? You have to be bored on the ship for a month or two. It's very difficult."
It's hard work. At your age, you are so strong that you can enter some colleges."
The young team member turned his face sideways, revealing a delicate and handsome face. Who else could he be if he wasn't Lin Li?
I think he changed his name to Lin Feng to deceive others.
Lin Li smiled and said, "Brother Xu, you are so polite. When I joined the regiment, I told the regiment leader that I was just going to the north to join my relatives, so I decided to work as a mercenary on the way to earn some money."
"Oh, that's it." The mercenary named Xu smiled and nodded.
Lin Li picked up the teapot on the table, filled a circle of people with tea, and asked: "Brother Xu, are these the only people in our mercenary group? With your strength, you won't have such a small number of people?"
The mercenary surnamed Xu smiled and said: "Of course there can't be just the four of us. In total, there are twenty people. We could have expanded the team, but we are all good brothers together, so we don't want to recruit more new people."
"Where are the others? Why are there only four people sent out on the mission?" Lin Li was still confused.
The mercenary surnamed Xu sighed and said: "The task of guarding the ship means that I will be drifting away for a month or two, so we all agreed to take turns to do the task so that we can have time to reunite with our families."
Lin Li nodded to express understanding.
The mercenary surnamed Xu added: "In addition, there were some minor accidents in the last mission. Five or six brothers were injured, so only four people were dispatched this time. A mercenary team like ours is difficult to recruit.
The big family thinks that the number of people is small, but the small family thinks that they are too powerful and cannot afford to hire them."
Lin Li felt a pain in his heart, hoping that the mercenary group would be hired soon. However, there were many businessmen coming and going, and they took away the mercenary group next to them one after another, but no one cared about the five of them.
Lin Li came to Qingdian City yesterday and wanted to take a ship to the north, so he joined the mercenary group called "Ping'an" so that he could get on the ship and leave quietly. He also wanted to join a larger mercenary group.
But that kind of mercenary group generally does not recruit temporary personnel.
To talk about Lin Li's current strength, we have to start three days ago.
Three days ago, Lin Li fought with several disciples of the Tyrant Clan. After killing all the enemies, he fled desperately. He did not fall down on an ordinary mountain until the effect of the "No Pluto Pill" wore off.
Lin Li temporarily dug a rough cave and took shelter temporarily. He originally planned to survive the side effects of the elixir and be bedridden for seven days. But to his surprise, due to his strong body, it was not serious enough to be bedridden.
I just feel tired.
When Lin Li rested in the cave for two days, his body basically returned to normal, but the side effect of his Yuanli cultivation level falling by a large level still remained.
Ninety percent of the Yuan Power in Lin Li's body was dormant in his muscles. No matter how he gathered it, it never entered his meridians, so the amount of Yuan Power he could use was very little, and he could only exert the power of an ordinary Yuan King realm.
However, Lin Li also practices Wu Clan skills, has a powerful body with the strength of a hundred horses, and has five flags to use, so he does not lack the means to save his life. Even if an ordinary Yuandan realm wants to embarrass Lin Li, he will not be able to gain favor.
go.
Now that he was able to move, Lin Li didn't want to stay in the cave any longer. After all, he was still not completely out of danger. He left the cave, passed through the Baili Mountains, and arrived at Qingdian City by the river. This gave rise to the idea of heading north along the river.
So he joined the "Ping An" mercenary group.
At this time, Lin Li was just waiting for the mercenary group to be hired by the merchants, and then he could go north and completely get rid of the wanted men of Batian Clan and Qingyun Clan.
This was the first major turning point in Lin Li's life. He was going to a brand new place to start a new adventure.
In addition, we need to find two friends, Fang Qingxue and Jun Tianyang.
I wonder what the world thousands of miles away is like? Is it wonderful or full of dangers? Are the people there stronger than the people in this land?
