Siheyuan: I have a small world

The three red-tailed eagles turned around and flapped their wings to fly towards the south.

……

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

The further south Wang Yu went, the more he discovered that the land, which was once densely populated with towns, was becoming increasingly sparse and the environment was becoming more desolate.

It was not until Wang Yu saw the mountains not far away that he saw a huge fortress city appearing hundreds of miles away from the towns.

At this time, they had already left the relatively flat hilly area and plunged into the mountains.

Thousands of peaks and ridges around it reach into the sky, shrouded in clouds and mist, and the mountains look empty and ethereal.

Three red-tailed eagles traveled among the mountains, and the rivers, valleys, forests, and cliffs on the ground were looming.

An hour later.

"We are almost there at Nanwanguan City. We are going to prepare to land. Everyone hold on tight." The old man from the Qian family suddenly shouted, reminding everyone.

Then he piloted the red-tailed eagle and circled around a mountain that towered into the clouds. Two other red-tailed eagles followed closely behind under the control of the beastmaster.

After a while.

When the red-tailed eagle they were riding flew down from the clouds, Wang Yu and his companions finally saw the foot of the mountain clearly. There was a fortress of considerable size lying in the canyon between the two mountains.

There was their destination - Nanwanguan City.

What can be seen with the naked eye is that in the canyon north of Nanwanguan City, there is a series of tents located there, densely packed, with at least tens of thousands of tents.

As the red-tailed eagle they were riding slowly descended in altitude.

Wang Yu finally got a clear view of the tents.

Because many soldiers ran out of the tents and pointed at them when they saw the three red-tailed eagle monsters they were riding flying over the canyon.

"These are the escort troops that will follow the caravan southward. There are 200,000 troops in total, 50,000 more than last year. I hope we can arrive safely along the way!"

Seeing Wang Yu observing the situation below, Qian Wuling began to introduce.

After hearing the second half of his sentence, Wang Yu asked him, "With so many guards following you, you can't guarantee safety?"

"It's hard to say. It depends on luck. If you encounter a beast tide driven by monsters, then you have to hope for good luck. If it's just an attack by scattered monsters or ferocious beasts, there's no need to worry." Qian Wuling replied.

Hearing this, Wang Yu nodded. Now was not the time to talk because the red-tailed eagle had already flown into Nanwanguan City and was preparing to land on a training ground in the city.

boom!

Three red-tailed eagles landed on the training ground one after another.

Not far away, a gray-haired old man came over with a few people dressed as generals.

When Qian Wuling saw this person, he hurried over to say hello.

"Uncle San, Brother Wu Xu..."

These people are all members of their Qian clan. The oldest one is his third uncle, his father is the second son, and Qian Wuxu is his third uncle’s eldest son.

"Well, Wuling, since you have been chosen, don't complain about the fate. Your seventh uncle will take care of you there, so don't worry." Qian Zhenxun patted Qian Wuling's shoulder and comforted her.

"I understand, Uncle San." Qian Wuling replied with a depressed look.

At the same time, Qian Wuqi and Qian Wuyun followed closely and greeted the people in front of them.

Those who can be selected are all direct descendants of the Qian family's Wu generation. Even if they are not familiar with each other, they all know each other.

Wang Yu stood nearby, watching them reminisce until someone arranged accommodation for them.

It was not until the next day that Wang Yu saw Qian Wuling again.

He told Wang Yu the departure time of the caravan and the army, which was five days later.

At the same time, he also introduced to Wang Yu some information about the Ten Thousand Mountains in the south.

After hearing this, Wang Yu’s heart was also in suspense.

because……

Chapter 189 The army marches south across the mountains

Because there are many kinds of monsters and strange beasts in the mountains, and they are stronger, it is more likely for a huge crisis to occur.

Especially the beast tide that Qian Wuling mentioned before.

The further south you go, the more you'll encounter them.

Especially in the second half, there are many monsters with high cultivation levels and different abilities.

The beast tide initiated by them.

Daqian has encountered this many times over the past few hundred years.

The losses were heavy every time.

Especially in the past hundred years or so, there were several times when the entire army was wiped out.

The strength of the monsters in the mountains is getting stronger and stronger as the spiritual veins recover.

In the past, flying monsters could be used to travel between the two places.

But now, with the appearance of some high-level flying beasts and monsters in the mountains, the low-level flying beasts and monsters under their control can no longer freely travel through the Ten Thousand Mountains in the South.

What's more, low-level space treasures such as storage bags are not enough for trade.

For large-scale trade, a large army must be escorted to the Tianwu Kingdom.

However, such a large-scale march is bound to attract the attention of ferocious beasts and monsters in the mountains.

The last time the entire army was wiped out was sixteen years ago, when a sharp-mouthed beast appeared in the mountains. It was a monster with the strength of the late first stage.

This sharp-mouthed beast launched a beast tide, and with successive attacks, it wiped out the entire trading army. Only a few people survived and brought back the news.

You know, each time the army and caravan have a total of more than 200,000 people, and the soldiers are at least at the Body Tempering Realm, and there are also many Qi Refining cultivators and Blood Warriors following them.

This can lead to the annihilation of an entire army, so you can imagine how terrifying the beast tide is!

In terms of danger, the Shiwanda Mountains in southern Daqian are the most dangerous.

This also caused the connection with the immortal cultivation areas of the hundred countries in the south to be intermittent.

In recent years, the major forces in Daqian Kingdom have had to send more experts to join the trade army on long journeys to safeguard their own interests.

To a certain extent, it also ensured that the Qian family's ruling power over the Great Qian Kingdom no longer declined, and successfully transferred the conflicts outward.

Let the major domestic forces focus their personnel and energy on the North-South policy.

One is to go north to open up the Bloody Forest, and the other is to go south to open up a trade journey.

Among them, the southward policy was the most time-consuming and labor-intensive.

because.

Apart from Daqian's need for foreign trade, the countries in the Hundred Nations of the South would not take the initiative to spend time and effort to open up a passage to the north.

Because the Hundred Kingdoms Immortal Cultivation Area is a vast area that is hundreds of times larger than Daqian.

The place is rich in resources and is also called Tianbaoyuan, which means a treasure land from heaven.

Therefore, the Hundred Kingdoms Immortal Cultivation Area is not short of the resources of Daqian.

Otherwise, hundreds of countries would not have been born.

Therefore, only Daqian had a unilateral need for trade.

Furthermore, these hundreds of countries are not all like the Great Qian Kingdom, which is ruled by the Qian family and can make all decisions by the family.

In fact, many countries are basically ruled by several major forces together.

Unable to work together to do anything.

Unless other countries invade and infringe upon their common interests and they are unable to defeat them, they can only work together to fight the enemy.

Otherwise, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a group of loose sand.

Moreover, the Hundred Kingdoms Immortal Cultivation Area is very vast. Even though the Hundred Kingdoms are scattered across this vast land, they still only occupy more than 10% of the area. The remaining more than 80% is still a wild land under the control of monsters!

Unless they are close to each other or have a feud, there is so much space to open up that no one has time to fight and kill each other.

This is similar to the situation in Tianqianyuan where Daqian is located. The Qian family has been constantly sending clan members to set up offices and expand their living space.

What’s more, the monsters over there are not only more numerous but also more powerful, there are many second-level monsters!

They often launch beast tides against other countries, making the countries in the Hundred Nations Immortal Cultivation Domain suffer terribly and forcing them to respond passively.

Most of the energy of the major forces in various countries is also spent on how to defend against the beast tide launched by monsters.

Relatively speaking, the land of Tianqianyuan where Daqian is located is much safer.

Although it is surrounded by mountains.

But there are many powerful monsters in the Ten Thousand Mountains in the south.

Whether in the northern or eastern and western Ten Thousand Mountains, there are also many monsters, but it is difficult for them to gather together and launch a beast tide.

However, the elephant people living in the Tianxiang Mountains in the east and the bull people living in the Shenniu Mountains in the west are more dangerous.

Over the past few hundred years, they have frequently invaded the Great Qian Kingdom, but were always beaten back.

Of course, the most dangerous ones are the snake people in the mountains north of the northern blood forest, who are extremely aggressive.

If it had not been severely damaged by the Dali and Daqian dynasties eight hundred years ago, which crippled it and made it sheath its fangs, it is possible that the northern Bloody Forest would have been in constant war for the past few hundred years.

It is said that after the great war with Daqian, the Snake People rested for more than a hundred years. Many high-ranking officials within the tribe did not want to fight to the death with the southern human race, so they turned their troops and headed in other directions, preparing to expand their territory and accumulate strength, so that they could avenge their previous humiliation and attack the human territory in the future.

In view of this.

Even now, Qianlongwei sends people every year to go deep into the northern bloody forest to investigate the situation.

To prevent the snake people from making a comeback.

Daqian attaches more importance to the Snake People than to the Elephant People and Ox People who are nearby.

Because the elephant people and the bull people are relatively gentle in temperament and will not fight or kill for no reason.

Making trouble is also to gain some resources.

As long as Daqian is satisfied, he will live his life honestly.

Furthermore, most of the two orc tribes are scattered in tribes across the two mountain ranges.

It exists in the form of a tribal alliance, and there are many conflicts within the tribes.

Daqian only needs to make friends with distant tribes and attack nearby ones, alienate the relationships among their tribes, and stir up conflicts to achieve checks and balances.

As for the Snake People, according to rumors from the Ox People and the Elephant People, the Snake People seem to have developed well in other directions over the past hundred years and have been planning a big move.

Attempting revenge on the southern human race.

Therefore, since hearing the news, Daqian has been extremely vigilant against the Snake People, a very aggressive orc tribe, for more than a hundred years.

He was even willing to bribe some tribal high-ranking officials of the Elephant People and the Ox People to act as spies for Daqian.

Once we receive any information about the snake people, we will pass it on to Daqian.

After all, they all belong to the Orc race. Even if they are not closely related and there are many bloody conflicts between the races, they are better informed of some news than the human race.

What's more, compared to the Daqian human race, the elephant human race and the ox human race also hate the snake human race. If the snake human race invades the south, their two tribes will also be affected, and they may be invaded and enslaved by the snake human race at the first time.

Let them serve as vassal troops and consume the strength of both tribes.

Compared with the Snake People, the two tribes are much weaker. They were driven from the north to the mountains here by the Snake People.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the snake people have never slowed down their invasion and enslavement of other races.

Therefore, as long as the Snake People launch a southern expedition against the Human People, the Ox People and the Elephant People will surely suffer!

Therefore, they are the ones who are most wary of the snake people.

Bribing the high-level officials of the two tribes to obtain intelligence is definitely more accurate than Daqian collecting intelligence on his own!

……

Back to the topic, there are many monsters in the southern mountains, which are called the Savage Beast Mountains.

This is the name given to this mountain range by the Hundred Kingdoms in the south.

Therefore, Daqian can use the Barbarian Beast Mountains or the Ten Thousand Mountains in the south.
