Chapter 4 The City of Freedom
After passing through the red grassland, there is an even wider plain, which is the famous killing field of the Blood River Realm.
There are many killings on the killing grounds, and there is smoke and blood in all directions.
Compared to the barrenness of the red grasslands, there are more people in the killing field, and the killing is more abundant. From three directions, a large number of people flock to this place every year, like moths to a fire, offering their blood and lives, and magnifying the legend of the killing field.
In the center of the Killing Plain, there is a majestic giant city, covering a vast area, and there are even mountains, rivers and mountains in the city. A large river runs through the center of the city, dividing from north to south, and in the northeast corner of the city, a large mountain is entrenched, and a vast mountain area stretches out of it. At the top of the mountain, a tall tower stands on it.
This is the famous capital of freedom in the Killing Plains.
The capital of freedom is a very special storage zĂ i in the blood river realm, and it is rumored that the founder of this capital is also a Sendai-level powerful storage zĂ i. This Sendai power is said to be an alchemist who came across the border, and he had the intention to find some materials for alchemy in the Blood River Realm, but he didn't expect to be involved in the Blood River War. In order to avoid the disturbance of war, the great power carved out a place on the killing plain, established a free city, encouraged merchants from all walks of life to operate here, forbade killing, and established a peaceful land on this killing plain.
After a long time, the Free Capital has become a special place in the Blood River Realm.
Considering that the three parties have their own needs, everyone really needs a place to trade and communicate with each other, and gradually acquiesced to the existence of this place.
At that time, it was called the City of Peace.
After obtaining the materials he wanted, the mighty left the place.
The peaceful city, which had lost its control, gradually became bloody again.
The sheer volume of goods has attracted countless killings, as well as numerous disputes.
Just when the peaceful city was about to be abandoned, another powerful person appeared to save the city on the verge of collapse, which was the famous Huo Tianzun.
Huo Tianzun is rumored to be an extremely violent being, who likes to fight. In order to satisfy his desire to fight, he took a fancy to this once rich and murderous land, and established the Skyfire Arena here.
Since then, the City of Peace has changed completely.
It is no longer a city built for trade and exchange, but has been transformed into a city of killing through and through.
In this city, killing is the norm and peace is a thing of the past.
People are here to fight, kill and be killed, and in the name of freedom.
Although the attributes of the free capital have changed from business to war, its unique geographical attributes and the huge demand of the city itself still attract a large number of merchants. In order to ensure supply, the Killing Capital has also established a system to protect merchants, which makes the Free Capital the most prestigious killing place, while still attracting a large number of merchants from the three parties, making it the largest trading place in the Blood River Realm.
Here you can find the best materials, you can find the best alchemists, refiners, you can find what you want to have, as long as you can afford it.
Flying all the way, after flying for three days, Tang Zheng finally saw the shadow of the majestic giant city in the distance.
It is like a colossal crouch on the ground, and the city wall alone is nearly a hundred feet high. Such a tall and solid city wall is naturally not something that can be forged by manpower, but it is created by that Huo Tianzun with supreme divine power. If you look closely, you will find that every place on this giant city is flickering with strange lights, these lights fall in the eyes of the layman, only thinking that they are the lights in the city, but in the eyes of Tang Zheng, he knows that it is clearly an unprecedented super array.
The Great Array enveloped the entire Free City, and if it was under its own protection, even if it was Sendai's power, it might not be able to break it.
There are 1,080 gates in the entire Free Capital, distributed in all directions. And above the city, there was an invisible defensive shield that forbade anyone to fly from above. Anyone who wants to enter the city, whether it is a person or a demon, whether it is a cultivator or a mortal, must enter through the city gate.
Tang Zheng fell a few hundred meters away from the Free Capital.
As soon as he landed, he heard a commotion: "Don't let him run!"
Looking back, I saw a group of Bloods chasing a human.
The human ran desperately towards the city gate, and when he saw that he was about to run to the city gate, the leader of the pursuing blood clan raised his hand and shot a bloody arrow, pointing directly at the man's back.
Tang Zheng frowned slightly, and let out a low snort.
The word reached the ears of the man in front of him, and the man fell to the ground like a thunderbolt.
Blood arrows flew behind him, and the man rolled into the gates.
As soon as the man entered the city gate, the pursuing Bloodclan shouted at the same time. But he seemed to be afraid of something, and he didn't dare to chase after him.
The capital of freedom has the rules of the capital of freedom, and anyone who enters the city is protected by the city of freedom. Anyone who dares to defy the rules of the city of freedom will surely die.
When that person entered the city, it was equivalent to being protected by the free capital, and those people did not dare to enter the pursuit. was angry in his heart, and when he turned his head and saw Tang Zheng, there was a fierce light in his eyes.
It was the leader who stopped the crowd and said, "Let him go." â
Killing was originally a place of disorder, and surviving in such a place depends not only on strength, but also on vision.
The man in front of him fell from the sky, obviously a cultivator, seeing them chasing and killing humans but not reacting, it was obvious that he had confidence in his heart.
This kind of person, don't provoke it if it's okay.
Tang Zheng ignored them and walked towards the city gate.
When I entered the city, I saw that the city was very lively with people coming and going.
Here you can see blood-red-skinned bloods, humans, and demons with black qi all over their bodies. Whether they once belonged to humans, demons, or something else, once they were enchanted, the enduring cloud of black smoke was their eternal characteristic. What's more, there will be all kinds of strange existences, such as the headless demon with the head in the hand, the death prisoner who is often imprisoned in chains, the spider demon who is half human and half spider, etc., the world of the demon race, strange and strange.
With so many bizarre and strange beings, if they were elsewhere, not my race, I am afraid that they would have been killed in a river of blood. But under the constraints of the strong institutions of the free capital, they are harmoniously put together, and the goods are selected in the market with great spirit.
Because of the vast worlds, countless worlds have been governed under the same authority, and because of this, all walks of life are fortunate to have a common language in addition to their own languages. As a world that has been completely inherited from the ancient world, the Qixia realm has a well-preserved language, and it is the common language that is used. On the contrary, in the Blood River Realm, the local and the general are mixed, and each is good at its own sound, but no matter what, there is no problem with communication.
In this context, the streets of the capital of freedom are especially lively. People shouted and bargained in all languages, and all kinds of voices came and went. If you don't know, you may really think that you have arrived at a lively market, and only when you go deep into it will you find that behind each product, there is a lot of blood.
Tang Zheng came here to find materials to supplement the teleportation array.
He looked as he walked inside.
As he was walking, he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Please wait!"
Looking back, he saw that it was the man who had been chased and killed before running over and bowing to Tang Zhengyi: "Thank you for saving your life!"
Tang Zai looked at the man and said, "That's it." â
Turn and leave.
When the man heard this, he couldn't close his mouth with joy. He wasn't actually sure that Tang Zheng had saved him, but that snort was too coincidental, and it happened to save his life, and he knew that most of it was someone who intervened. At that time, except for himself, only Tang Zheng entered the city, and the man naturally instinctively guessed that it was Tang Zheng. He stepped forward to thank him, if he guessed wrong, it was nothing, if he guessed correctly, he could take the opportunity to approach Tang Zheng.
You must know that in this world, knowing how to make friends is also an important key to survival. Just like the Tang Tribulation relied on Wei Tian to rush to school, now this man is also bent on Tang Tribulation.
At this moment, the man hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The little one is called Li Bofeng, and I am grateful to be rescued by the adults." If the adults don't dislike it, the villain is willing to saddle the horse for the adults and serve for life!"
Tang Zai looked back at Li Bofeng: "Interesting." â
He said that it was interesting, and naturally he saw Li Bofeng's thoughts.
can take advantage of this limited opportunity to slap himself in such a short period of time, and it can be seen that this Li Bofeng is also a flexible kid. It just so happened that Tang Zheng was also a newcomer, although Han Feng had told him some things here, but he was not familiar with it, and he needed someone to help him. So he thought for a moment and said, "Do you know the capital of freedom?"
When Li Bofeng heard that there was a door, he was overjoyed and said: "The small ones have been messing around in the free capital for a long time, and there are no small ones who don't know about the things here." â
"Then why are you being hunted down?"
"Hey, isn't this also about making a few hard money? Li Bofeng said helplessly.
The Free City is a city where a large number of goods are traded every day, and there are many caravans coming and going. In the city, merchants are protected and not killed, but outside the city, they can't be so wide after all. Some vicious bandits wandered the killing field all day long, looking for opportunities to rob. Naturally, the caravan is not willing to be robbed, and will also seek bodyguards to escort them. The trade route to the capital of freedom was therefore marked by bloodshed and murder.
Li Bofeng was just one of the unlucky ones, he took on an escort mission, but unfortunately he was attacked by the Blood, and everyone was scattered, and each escaped with some goods. Since everyone has mustard seed bags, the caravans here are different from other places, and there are usually two kinds of caravans, and mustard bags are usually carried in large quantities and cheap goods, while mustard bags are expensive and relatively small.
In the event of a strong attack, everyone split up and fled into the city, which was a common occurrence for every bodyguard. It is precisely because of this that Li Bofeng was chased and killed by those blood clans. If he wants to live, it's actually simple, just leave the mustard seed bag still. But this man was also dutiful, and he ran all the way into the city.
Once in the city, even if he completes the task, he only needs to hand over the goods to the designated merchant.
Tang Zheng looked at Li Bofeng, this person is an enlightened spirit master, and in terms of realm, it is okay. After thinking about it, he said, "Then how much benefit can you get from this trip?"
Li Bofeng replied: "A total of eight days back and forth, if nothing happens, you can get 400 blackstone coins, and now that something has happened, you will only get half of it, alas." â
"Blackstone coins?" Tang was stunned: "There is no need to trade spirit jade here, what are blackstone coins?"
Li Bofeng replied: "Lingyu is mainly in the human area, but it is not accepted here. Transactions in this free capital are only allowed in Blackstone coins, and are limited to this place. â
Tang Zheng frowned when he heard this, but he didn't have this black stone coin.
Li Bofeng had already seen Tang Zheng's embarrassment, and said with a smile: "It's the first time for my lord to come, right? It just so happens that I want to deliver the goods here, and after I get the money, I can give some to my lord to repay my lord's life-saving grace." â
"No need, you just need to sue me about how you can earn Blackstone Coins. â
"If you ask, you know everything. By the way, I haven't asked the adults for advice. â
"Tang Zheng. â
Li Bofeng then began to speak.
There are three main ways to get to this free city. The first is to do business, the capital of freedom is the largest trading place in the Blood River Realm, and all kinds of goods under the tripartite forces will be sent here. Due to the bumpy and unpredictable trade routes, the profits of goods are often very high, and a commodity can easily be sold for ten or twenty times the price after it is transported here from the human zone. The second is to work for people. For example, Li Bofeng is like this, doing some short-term work for people to get money. The use value of the blackstone coin is slightly higher than that of the spirit money, if it is purely based on the practical value theory, about a blackstone coin can be exchanged for five spirit coins, of course, it is different on different goods. The third is the Skyfire Arena.
In fact, it's the most striking place.
Every year, a large number of heroes come to this Heavenly Fire Arena to compete and fight. And the big people who have money and nowhere to spend it will come here to watch the killing show.
The arena itself is a huge grotto of gold, where each gladiatorial fight sells a large number of tickets and is priced according to its popularity. Because of this, anyone who fights in the arena can get money regardless of whether they win or lose. It's just that the loser gets less, and the winner gets more. Of course, in addition to this, the loser also needs to bear the risk of death.
As spectators, people love bloody battles.
Because of this, whoever kills the hardest is the most popular.
"Can anyone go?" Tang Zheng had heard about the Heavenly Fire Arena in advance, but since the old man was vague, he also had limited understanding, and he was even more interested at this moment.
"Yes, anyone can sign up. Li Bofeng replied: "However, most of the people who participated in gladiatorial fights at the beginning were melees, and their income was only ten blackstone coins. Only those who survive the melee and prove their strength are eligible for a separate battle. For each individual battle, the audience votes for it. When the degree of support is high to a certain extent, there is a special arena. Only those who enter the specialized arena are eligible for great rewards. There are some rewards in it, even the Purple Mansion is excited. â
"Don't you look at the realm?"
"The Heavenly Fire Arena only looks at the strength, not the realm. On the contrary, the realm gap is more likely to bring excitement and ornamentation, as well as uncertainty. As long as you are sure enough, anyone can challenge yourself to a higher realm. Of course, a low realm or low rank has the right to reject a challenge from a high realm or a high rank. â
"How high is the highest realm in the Heavenly Fire Arena at the moment?"
"Soul-turning. As for the masters of the Purple Mansion Period, they generally do not participate in gladiatorial fights. â
Tang Zheng nodded, a realm like Zifu does not need to rely on gladiatorial fights to make money, and people will laugh off their big teeth if they know it.
"That's right. Tang Zai nodded: "It sounds interesting." â
"Your Excellency, you don't want to go to the arena to fight, do you, be careful, it's the bloody land of the Free Capital, and I don't know how many heroes have died there. No one can guarantee that they will always win, and even if it is just one defeat, it may never be lost!"
"I know, but it still attracts a lot of people, right?"
Li Bofeng sighed: "It's really a reward, it's too tempting." â
The competitors in the Skyfire Arena have their own strength rankings, as long as they are squeezed into the rankings, each of them has a lot of value, and every appearance has a high income.
These gains, in exchange for resources, are enough to make anyone blush.
And if you want to go far enough and faster on the immortal road, you can't do without these benefits.
Tang Zheng's ability to achieve a real person in just over 20 years is inseparable from the resources he has been worrying about over the years.
From the use of the Wei family at the beginning, to the later conspiracy of the Tianshen Palace, from Xinghualou, Wuhui Valley, Lao Yaling, Langya Blessed Land, Shimen Sect, Shuiyue Cave Heaven, until Moqiu crazy robbery/robbery, it is this time and again to seize the opportunity and plunder madly, that has the strength of Tang Zheng today.
But even so, he still only walked a very limited distance on this immortal road.
In the days to come, there is still a longer and more distant road waiting for him to climb, to face, to conquer.
In this case, the Skyfire Arena is a good choice.
In this arena where all the outstanding children in the realm are concentrated, there are countless battles and killings, countless flowers and applause, and countless rewards and resources.
In this case, even Tang Zheng is naturally inevitably interested.
Of course, he won't make a decision right now, he will observe first, analyze the danger and resources, and then make his own decision. As for before this, he could only rely on this Li Bofeng to raise him.
