453: C453 The Rest of the Town

C453 The Rest of the Town

The Silk Road between the Eastern Region and the Western Land was not so prosperous.

After leaving the Eastern Divine Region, they entered the desolate land of the Western Land.

There was nothing there, and it was easy for Devil Man from the Western Land to rob them of their resources!

That was really dangerous, and not profitable at all.

From this, the Silk Road from the Southern Frontier to the North Sea was truly the most lucrative Silk Road.

However, in this chaotic world, because it was hard to survive in the world, there were too many refugees.

For the sake of food, some of them did not hesitate to turn the grass into bandits. Among them, there was Bandits, who specialized in robbing merchant caravans, and even a large group of refugees who were starving to death. They simply stood guard on the road that the merchant caravans passed by, waiting for the merchant caravans to arrive. They shamelessly stood in front of the merchant caravans and forced them to leave behind food before letting them pass.

Otherwise, he would directly rob them!

When the caravan encountered such a situation, they were really unable to say what they wanted to say. They had no way to resist Bandits, or else they would lose their lives!

As for the refugees, they could not bear to kill them all. After all, in this chaotic world, it was not easy for anyone.

Furthermore, those refugees were hungry to the point that they were not afraid of death.

Even if they were to kill in front of these refugees, they would not give way.

They would be even more difficult to deal with. They would only give way if they knew that the merchant group was willing to give them something.

Among these refugees, not everyone was heartless.

They were only forced by the chaotic times, which was why they had fallen into such an unreasonable state. However, they usually only asked the merchant group for food before leaving. They would not make things difficult for the merchant group again.

After experiencing this a few times, the merchant groups that passed by would usually prepare more food for them to "buy" the road to riches.

At this time, the number of merchant groups travelling was getting fewer and fewer.

Some were afraid of Bandits, while others were forced to become refugees by this chaotic world.

Even so, the merchants still had to make use of the merchant caravans to make money. Otherwise, these merchants would go bankrupt and be reduced to refugees.

After that, after that, the merchant caravan would usually hire qualified cultivators as bodyguards to escort the merchant caravan to their destination.

Now, a group of cultivators was heading to the Northern Sea Seven Continents. It would be best if they were willing to travel with them!

With so many cultivators accompanying them, the safety of the merchant group would be greatly increased. Naturally, this group of merchants would be extremely happy!

Thus, along the way, they treated cultivators as if they were serving their ancestors!

After Zhou Hao and his group joined this group of people, they could be said to be one of the few people with the most reputation in this merchant group.

It was only because he had a mount.

With a mount, this was at least a common match for an outstanding cultivator.

If a mount was more amazing, then the identity of the owner would naturally be even more amazing!

Because of the identity, Zhou Hao, the Qing, and the "mount" Doug were treated fairly well by the merchants.

If the merchants were to encounter danger in the future, they would naturally have to pay the greatest price. Otherwise, they would definitely be thrown away by the merchants.

After receiving such preferential treatment, the Doug started to flaunt its power. It would not hold its head high and chest high at all times. It looked valiant and valiant, and it really gave it the style that a powerful mount should have!

On this day, the merchant group rested and reorganized at a large pier by the river. They were about to change the waterway to the Northern Sea's Seven Continents by this pier.2

The large group rested and reorganized at the "Caiyuan Town" at the edge of the pier.

Caiyuan Town, the stronghold of the north and south water road!

This was the first pass for the trade caravans to move forward on the waterway, and it was also the dock with the largest volume of goods.

Typically, trade caravans would change their route here.

Because this was the stronghold of the North and South Finance Road, it was also a channel for various forces to transport goods, so it attracted the attention of many forces.

After the chaotic world broke out, the various forces started fighting amongst themselves. However, unexpectedly, they reached a temporary peace in Caiyuan Town.

This place was heavily guarded by the forces sent by the various forces. They didn't want Bandits and the others to cause trouble here. Otherwise, they would definitely send a few forces to kill that troublemaker!

If this place was broken, then the Silk Road on both sides of the north and south could be considered to have come to an end.

The severity of this matter was not as simple as the end of a Silk Road, but rather, there were many forces that would decline and perish along with it!

Therefore, no matter how red their faces were from the fight, they would not cut off their own path of retreat.

The caravan first arranged for a group of cultivators to stay in the best restaurant in Caiyuan Town, Wind Welcoming Tower. After that, all kinds of fine wine and delicacies would be served!

The caravan arranged five large tables for the cultivators to eat and drink to their heart's content!

Once these cultivators were fed and drank to their heart's content, they would be more at ease for the rest of the journey.

Although there were no refugees on this water road and Bandits was few, the danger did not decrease at all. Instead, it was even more soul-stirring than walking on a dry road!

Cultivators who had never walked on this road would naturally not have any misgivings. However, those who had experienced those terrifying experiences still had lingering fears.

While enjoying the banquet, there was a diligent and studious young cultivator sitting beside Zhou Hao.

This young cultivator was eating while flipping through some secret manuals and cultivation techniques. It could be said that he was a strange existence at the dining table.

Because he was sitting next to Zhou Hao, Zhou Hao couldn't help but look at him a few more times during the meal.

At first, Zhou Hao was hungry and focused on eating. He only glanced at the cultivator a few times and did not look at him carefully, nor did he notice what secret book he was reading.

Later on, after he had eaten his fill, he began to pay attention to this hardworking young cultivator.

He saw that this young cultivator was about the same age as him. He carried a sandalwood sword case on his back. The clothes on his body were not very particular and were a little messy. It was probably because this cultivator was too focused on learning. He often immersed himself in studying secret manuals and did not care about his appearance and clothing. That was why it was like this.

This young cultivator also did not notice that Zhou Hao was sizing him up, and was only focused on reading. He didn't even look at his meal. He picked up something with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. He fed it to his stomach.

Zhou Hao was interested in the secret manual he was studying, so he stretched out his head to look at it. He wanted to figure out what kind of secret manual it was that could make a young man so obsessed.

He would not know if he did not look at it, but when he took a look, he was shocked!

Zhou Hao first followed the young cultivator's reading speed and read the contents of the book. When the young cultivator flipped the pages, he suddenly felt his brain tighten.

He also felt that the moment he entered, a stream of information rushed into his brain!

What was going on?

Zhou Hao became nervous, afraid that he had fallen into some kind of trap!
