Mortal Epic of Douluo

032 Merchants and thieves

The northern mountain range stretches for 1000 miles, [-]% of which is located in the Kingdom of Haagen-Dazs, and [-]% is located in the Beiyuan Province of the Tiandou Empire.The average altitude of this section of the North Plains Province is less than [-] meters, and it runs northwest-southeast. Therefore, instead of blocking the cold current from the far north, the North Plains Province is allowed to have wind and snow flow more smoothly and unimpeded. Raging within the territory.

Atreus did not stay in Tianshui City. After meeting the person he wanted to see and getting the items in his plan, it was time for him to head to his next target location.

Fortunately, the snow stopped falling in the sky the day before Atreus and his party arrived at Tianshui City, and they could clearly feel that the weather was getting warmer in the following days.The snow is beginning to melt, perhaps spring has really arrived in the North Plains Province.

However, the melting of the snow caused some troubles for Atreus and the others. The road became muddy, the melted snow and soil were mixed together, and the ground became pitted. Sometimes, they had to get out of the car to push.

First heading west and then north, they arrived at the starting point of the eastern section of the Northern Mountains. They unloaded the carriage, because if they didn't unload it at this time, the mountain roads that would follow would force them to abandon the carriage.After unloading the truck, they bought another horse locally, one for Liu Yan, one for Fraser, and Atreus and Oscar rode on the same horse. Then they headed west along the south road of the mountain range.

Walking on the southern path of the Northern Mountains, Atreus recalled the scene when he followed the professor in his previous life while walking on the southern path of the Tianshan Mountains. However, the latitude of the northern mountains was even higher and the climate was colder. On the right were rolling mountains. , to the left is a wasteland with no roosters crowing for a hundred miles.

People can often be seen on the South Road. After all, the Beiyuan Province has officially entered spring at this time, and merchants have begun to become active.

Although it is already the end of March, there is still the possibility of snowstorms again. However, these businessmen from the North Plains Province and the Kingdom of Haagen-Dazs have long been unable to restrain their restless hearts and organized caravans to travel through the mountain roads. among.

The earlier the goods are circulated to other places, the profit will be higher. When the road is completely open, the profit will not be so high.These merchants risked their lives to travel between the two places, transporting grain, salt, wine, tea, gold and iron to different regions. They were an indispensable middle- and lower-class group in society.

After traveling for an unknown number of days, four people and three horses arrived at a place called Hujian Pass. On the map, it was a vase-shaped canyon.The entrance to the eastern section of Hujian Pass is extremely narrow and curved, and can only accommodate a four-foot-wide car. Fortunately, it is only two miles long. As long as you complete this section, you can enter the relatively wide "bottle".

Arriving at Hujian Pass, Atreus walked alone at the front of the team and summoned his martial spirit at the same time.There are many east-west traders traveling along the southern route of the Northern Mountains. The risks they face are not only nature, but also wild beasts, spirit beasts, and... people, or in other words - bandits.

Although the journey of traveling as a trader is difficult and dangerous, it is highly profitable, and the "profession" that is more profitable than traveling as a trader is banditry.

Where there is business, there will be thieves.

Hujian Pass is obviously a good place for robbery.The eastern section is long and narrow, and the western section also has a narrow opening. You only need to ambush in advance, close the door and beat the dogs, and you can get whatever you want.

So when he came to such a place, Atreus was very alert, always paying attention to the movements in front and above the canyon.

There seemed to be real movement ahead. Atreus gestured to the Frazier behind, telling her to stop where she was, while he groped forward alone to explore the situation.

After a while, a conversation came into his ears from behind the corner ahead.

"Brother Six, do you think we can make this deal work?"

"Whether it will work or not is up to us. Anyway, brother has already arranged everything that can be arranged. Whether it succeeds or fails, it can only be decided by God!"

"Hey, who doesn't want to eat fat sheep? But where there are fat sheep, there are always hounds. I'm afraid our nine wolves can't bite those dogs."

"If you can't bite, you have to bite! The last time we opened was seven months ago. If we continue like this, we will starve to death sooner or later! Don't forget, isn't Lao Ba's death just because we ran out of money?!"

"Laoba...Oh, sometimes I really regret it. Why did I take this path?"

"Regret that there is a ball?! Old Seven, we are all wanted people. Since we are on this road, even if there is a cliff in front of us, we have to fly over it!"

......

Atreus calmed down and restrained his body. He did not rush to observe the situation behind the corner, but after listening for a while, he confirmed that there were only two people in front of him.

He couldn't help but feel unlucky. When he came to a fork yesterday, because the road to Hujian Pass was shorter, taking the other road would require a detour of at least a third longer, so he volunteered to take Oscar and the others on this road. road.But they never imagined that they would actually meet a bandit, that they would be a rooster paying New Year's greetings to a weasel - and that they would fall into a trap.

While he was thinking about it, a vision appeared. A firework rose in front of him, and the two bandits in front were suddenly startled.

"With these fireworks, it seems that Big Brother and his friends have a hard time cracking the bones. Sixth Brother, what should we do?"

"I can't care about that much anymore. This deal must be taken down. We must go over and provide support!"

"But won't we keep this promise?"

"I don't have much to worry about anymore, Lao Qi, activate your martial spirit and let's go!"

Then there was a wave of soul power. Based on perception alone, the two bandits were not strong. One was much weaker than himself, and the other was slightly weaker than himself.

When the two bandits completely disappeared from his perception, Atreus immediately retreated.

Fraser could tell at a glance that Atreus's demeanor was different from before, and immediately asked: "How is it? Is there something going on?"

"I found two robbers in front of me, but it seems that the target is not us, or they haven't discovered our existence yet. By the way, did you all see the fireworks just now?"

The crowd nodded.

"That's their partners asking for support. It seems that the target they intercepted is a bit difficult for them. The two bandits have already gone to support. What do you... think?"

Fraser replied: "You want to help, right?"

Atreus nodded and replied in a positive tone: "When the road is rough, I should draw my sword to help, but I led the wrong way, and I am afraid of making the same mistake again, so I listen to you."

"Do you know how many there are there? Also, do you know their strength?" The person who asked this question was Liu Yan, who never talked nonsense.

"The two bandits said they were [Nine Wolfs], and they called them [Sixth Brother] and [Old Seventh]. The sixth brother's soul power is about the same as mine. He should be about the strength of a great soul master, and the seventh brother should be the middle one. First-class soul masters. If they are ranked according to their strength, then there may be two who are weaker than the seventh one. The five above the sixth one should all be great soul masters. There may even be... Soul Lord exists.”

Atreus looked at his friends and saw that he was a quasi-great soul master at level [-] and had not yet attached a soul ring.

Oscar is a level 22 great soul master with no fighting ability.

Fraser's soul power is now level 23, his swordsmanship is superb, and he has no rivals in the academy except Liu Yan.

Liu Yan's soul power is the highest among the people, reaching level 25. He has both offense and defense, and is also the strongest combat power among the four.

Fraser gently stroked the [Rose] in his hand and said loudly: "Once you pass Hujian Pass, you will enter the Haggardas Kingdom. Since I am a subject of the kingdom, I have to take action."

Two votes.

Fraser expressed his stance, and Oscar also spoke: "Arui, we are brothers. As long as you decide, I will definitely support you!"

The three of them looked towards Liu Yan.

Liu Yan always looked calm. He said word by word: "Their target is difficult. Together with us, we can fight."

In terms of being good at dancing, I am not as good as my eldest brother; in terms of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I am not as good as my third brother; in terms of talent in cultivation, I am also far behind my little sister.

The sect is based on business, and although the son is not talented, he still has great ambitions.

Therefore, I would like to personally pick up Douheng, go deep into the northern border, and open up trade routes.
