Chapter 88: The Iron Hoof Trap
Passing through the mountains, there is a vast plain, through which the Ancient Ghost Road runs through it, dividing this plain into two parts.
Half of the plain is a field full of vines and grasses, where wild beasts and monsters are constantly infested, and you can even see huge mammoths like small mountains, roaring and running on the field, shaking the earth and shaking the sky, and large areas of vines and grasses rising into the sky.
The other half of the plain, that is, the other side of the Yin Ghost Ancient Road, was still filled with black mist, and the cold and terrifying aura turned into a violent wind, blowing on one side of the ancient road.
At the junction between the mountains and the plains, there is a camp, and in front of it stands two stone pillars that read: "The Deserted Station."
At this time, Qin Mo walked from the ancient road in the mountains, saw the camp from a distance, compared it with the map in his hand, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Finally arrived at the secluded station, this section of the ancient road is too long, and it took three days to walk out of the mountain area. ”
After leaving Mojia Village, Qin Mo hurried day and night, because the map Xu Baiyuan gave him showed that the area of the Yin Ghost Ancient Road was far longer than he imagined.
And in that mountain area, if there was no mount above the spirit level, he could only rely on his foot strength to hurry, but Qin Mo didn't expect that it would take him three days to get out of the mountain area.
"Is it a desolate station? It should be a post station of the Desolate Chamber of Commerce Alliance. ”
Qin Mo relaxed, although the next journey may be dangerous, at least he doesn't need to rely on his foot strength to hurry.
Among the three major trading houses in the Ancient Continent, each of them has an extremely wide range of industries, involving almost every field. To put it simply, it is an industry that can make money, and the three major commercial houses will intervene.
However, among the three major commercial houses, the proportion of each commercial bank involved in the industry is different, for example, Jubao Zhai is known for opening exchanges and auctions, while the Yuhuang Chamber of Commerce Alliance is known for establishing pastures, selling famous horses and sacred horses, and opening post stations and waterways.
Jubao Zhai nets the world's treasures, and the secluded wilderness will collect the world's divine horses!
When he was still a few hundred meters away from the camp, Qin Mo suddenly stopped, and he felt that the two stone pillars exuded a savage power, locking his figure from afar.
"The carvings on those two stone pillars are unique to the beast clan, and just two stone pillars have the power of a spirit-level mid-level formation. Qin Mo thought secretly.
At this time, behind the two stone pillars, two big men came out, with burly figures, black armor with knives, and fierce breaths, both of whom were masters of the third stage of martial arts cultivation.
"Stop coming!"
"Show your pass!"
The two shouted one after another, and the qi machine had already locked on Qin Mo from afar, ready to go.
Qin Mo stood in place and took out the map of the Yin Ghost Ancient Road, this map was drawn by the Ghost Chamber of Commerce Alliance and sold to adventurers on the mainland, and at the same time, this map was also a pass, which could enjoy the services of the Shadow Desolation Station.
"I'm going to rent a mount!" Qin Mo said, holding the map.
Seeing the map presented by Qin Mo, the two big men nodded slightly, and then let them go, and one of the big men led Qin Mo to the depths of the camp.
In a moment, the two of them came to a tent, and an old man of the orc tribe with green skin and fangs in his mouth sat upright, and three large boxes were placed behind the old man.
"Old man Meng, here comes a rented mount. The big man said.
The old man of the beast clan opened his cloudy eyes, looked at Qin Mo, and said weakly: "It's rare to see such a young kid in the Yin Ghost Ancient Road, young man, you know the rules of our Desolate Station, right?"
Qin Mo nodded: "I know, I need a deposit to rent a mount alone, I only rent the lowest-level mount, I don't know how much deposit I need to pay?"
In his previous life, Qin Mo often went to the Desolate Post Station to rent mounts, and he knew the rules of the Post Station very well. Depending on the level of the mount, the deposit paid at the time of rental also varies greatly, and the lowest level mount generally only needs to pay 2,000 inferior True Yuan Stones.
Hearing this, Old Man Meng smiled and said hoarsely: "Young man, it seems that he is not a rookie who is just starting out, but he knows the rules. However, the mount deposit on the Yin Ghost Ancient Road is different from other places. The lowest-level mount also needs to pay the price of 10,000 inferior True Yuan Stones. ”
So expensive!?
Qin Mo was taken aback, he wasn't worried that Old Man Meng would cheat him, the credibility of the Desolate Post Station was well-known, and he would never cheat people in this regard. He just wondered what kind of mount it was, and he needed to pay the price of 10,000 inferior True Yuan Stones.
Seeing Qin Mo's expression as usual, Old Man Meng smiled and nodded, "Yes, young man, it seems that you have some experience." Let's take a look at what the lowest mount is. ”
As he spoke, Old Man Meng stood up, opened the leftmost box behind him, took out an iron plate with a diameter of two feet, and pressed it twice on the iron plate.
Click, click......
The iron plate shook and stretched, and in a few breaths, it turned into an iron horse, lifelike and almost chaotic.
"Trap Beast!?" Qin Mo's eyes widened, very surprised.
On the Ancient Continent, making Trap Beasts is a superb skill, which involves the fusion of multiple skills such as casting, traps and formations, and the skills mastered by the Secret Desolate Chamber of Commerce Alliance are the most profound.
Even if it was an ordinary trap beast, its value was not inferior to that of a spirit-level treasure, but Qin Mo couldn't imagine that the rental mount of this desolate post station turned out to be a trap beast mount.
"Young man, now you know why the deposit is so expensive, right?" said the old man with a smile, "The deposit is 10,000 inferior true yuan stones, and the rental fee is calculated according to the distance, and there is only one place to arrive, which is the terminal - Ghost Mist Port, and the cost is 1,000 inferior true yuan stones, which will be deducted from the deposit." No problem, right?"
"No problem. ”
Qin Mo nodded, and took out 10,000 inferior True Yuan Stones, which was quite painful in his heart. The rental fee alone is 1,000 inferior True Yuan Stones, and if he rents them a few more times, all the True Yuan Stones on his body will be used as travel expenses.
It seemed that Qin Mo paid very happily, Old Man Meng nodded with satisfaction, and the conversation also came up, so he talked to Qin Mo about the reason why he used the trap beast at this post station.
It turns out that on the way from this post station to the terminal - Oniki Port, although walking on this ancient road will not encounter the attack of terrifying monsters, it is not without danger.
"This ancient road from here to the Ghost Mist Port seems to be very peaceful, but it is actually very dangerous. In the 'Yin Ghost Domain' on the side of the ancient road, a yin wind will blow from time to time, which contains a terrifying power that confuses people's minds, and if the mind of a martial artist who is not cultivated enough is not firm enough, it is likely that the mind will be destroyed halfway. ”
"This kind of thing happens from time to time, there are warriors who rent mounts, and when they reach the port of Ghost Mist, they either lose their minds and become a living dead, or they fall into madness and become a madman. ”
"This kind of yin wind is still so terrible to people, and it can be imagined that it is so destructive to a living mount. ”
"Therefore, all the mounts of this post station have been replaced with trap beasts, and the deposit will be collected so high. ”
"Young man, have a good trip!"
As he spoke, Old Man Meng patted Qin Mo on the shoulder and sent him out of the tent with a smile.
Bon voyage...... , you should wish me no wind all the way, right?
Qin Mo's face was a little stiff, he shook his head, turned over and stepped on the iron horse, activated the mechanism, and then the four iron hooves flicked away.
......
WhewW......
The wind was whistling in his ears, the scenery on both sides of the ancient road was flying backwards, Qin Mo rode on the iron horse, and in a moment, he had already rushed out of thousands of meters, and his speed was several times that of an ordinary fast horse.
Moreover, the saddle on the iron horse is very comfortable, and the service of the secluded post station is very meticulous in all aspects.
Squinting and watching the scenery on both sides of the ancient road, with the reckless fields on one side and the treacherous and terrifying mainland Jedi on the other, it is truly an unforgettable experience.
I don't know how long I have been running, but in the "Yin Ghost Domain" on the side of the ancient road, a black wind suddenly blew, and the wind was whistling and screaming, and even a hideous screaming ghost face could be seen in it......
"It's really blowing. ”
Qin Mo's face changed, and he couldn't help but curse the old man Meng secretly, it was really a crow's mouth, saying that it was a smooth journey, and the yin wind was really coming.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Mo guarded his mind, the true qi on the surface of his body surged, protecting his whole body, and at the same time holding the four-foot Qingfeng in his hand to prevent any unexpected surprise attack.
The wisp of sword soul in Qin Mo's heart suddenly burst out with a sharp aura, coming out of his body, as if cutting through a cloth, easily chopping this yin wind into pieces.
Tear ......
The yin wind dispersed and disappeared without a trace, Qin Mo rode the iron hoof trap, and it was already a hundred meters away, and quickly disappeared at the end of the ancient road.
"It turns out that the sword soul still has such a wonderful use, and it can easily chop the yin wind!"
Looking back, Qin Mo was shocked, and then put his mind at ease, it seems that this part of the road will not be too dangerous.
