Chapter 231： News from Shannan Town

Chapter 231 News from Shannan Town

Anping Town is about a hundred miles southwest of Shannan Town. It is far less prosperous than Shannan Town and Tongda Town. This town has only a population of more than 2,000. Although it is not lively enough, as its name suggests, it is a quiet and peaceful town. .

After a night of running around, everyone was tired and hungry, so they could only deal with it in the bunkhouse at the entrance of the town.

This kind of place can be regarded as a low-end version of an inn. The conditions are simple and there are almost no single rooms. They are all big beds made of long wooden boards. More than twenty people can lie on a wooden board. Everyone sleeps in their clothes, and they don’t even Divided into men and women…

Normally speaking, most of the traders and servants who go out to do business will choose this kind of place. When they go out, they keep everything simple and save money first. Places like inns are the kind of places that only wealthy businessmen can afford to live.

The school has sufficient funds for the students to come for internships, so the conditions are not so difficult, but because all their luggage was lost with the carriage, they only have some personal expenses, which is not enough to stay in an inn...

The students were tired and hungry, but they were not that picky. Because there were so many people, they separated into two large rooms for the time being. There were twenty or thirty people in one room and fell asleep.

Energy mainly depends on the strength of the root bones. Although the students who come to the internship are all selected good seedlings, the innate root bones are basically less than 1.5 times, and the acquired root bones are 578 times that of ordinary people. Yesterday He was on the road during the day and had no rest at night. Although he had energy to support him, the fatigue was real.

As for Tie Jingang, he didn’t have time to sleep. After settling the students, he hired a carrier pigeon at the post station in the town and sent a letter to Tongda Town.

The homing pigeons in [Wulin] are not the same as those in the main world. They are smaller but fly faster. After training, each homing pigeon can master a fixed delivery route and can travel back and forth between two places. There are many carrier pigeons flying to Tongda Town from Anping Town, which can be delivered in less than a day. However, due to the limited load capacity of the carrier pigeon, it could only carry a small note. Tie Jingang could only highlight the key points of the situation in Shannan Town and write it down concisely.

After delivering the letter, he returned to the bunkhouse and found that there were still several students who had not gone to rest.

"It doesn't matter to me..." Tie Jingang was about to refuse, but he heard Lu Fei say: "Uncle, I advise you to take a rest. Our carriage and luggage are still left in Shannan Town. I don't know what happened this night, except You, who else has the ability to go back and take a look? "

“This at least shows that the original virus did not come in this direction.” Deng Xi said: “With its speed, it is not impossible to travel thousands of miles a day. In addition, due to infections along the way, this place should not be spared.”

Although these people fought with him last night to fight the virus, they are either more than twice as strong as they are, or their cultivation level in the solid state is high enough, and they belong to the elite among the elite.

Lu Fei glared at him, and Xiao Tian glared back without any sign of weakness: "Why are you looking at me? If you want to fight, just tell me, I've wanted to fight you for a long time..."

"We are okay..." Lao Miaomiao leaned against the door frame: "I can hold on even after squinting for a while... Mr. Tie...Uncle, you go and take a rest. You consumed the most yesterday."

The corners of this guy's mouth opened, revealing his white teeth. His hands were full of energy, and he showed off the posture of a mad dog.

A few people were chatting when they suddenly saw a dusty man carrying a knife running into the car shop in a panic: "Something big has happened! Shannan Town is gone!"

Tie Jin just dealt with it, yawned and walked out of the door. He found that the people on duty had been replaced by Li Xinyu, Song Shan and others. These senior brothers and sisters were not low in cultivation and had good bones. They woke up quickly and took over the students. them.

When I woke up, it was already afternoon. Not only him, but many students also woke up. Some were stretching, some were chatting, and they were still worried about their escape last night. There were also many students who went out to use the toilet, such as Luo Jun. This kid is still stupid. He asked where there was a hut.

“There’s not much movement at the moment.” Li Xinyu explained: “There were also many traveling merchants coming and going in the store that day, but there was basically no news from Shannan Town.”

"How is the situation in the town?" Several people are considered experts. In a small town like this, they are not afraid of ordinary thieves. Tie Jinggang's main worry is whether the eternal virus will spread.

"It will be even more troublesome if we go north..." Tie Jingang frowned: "If we get to Tongda Town, there will be tens of thousands of infected people, and they may even threaten Bainamen... I hope the carrier pigeons will arrive soon..."

“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine with us guarding you.” Ling Xin and Lei Tianyang also advised.

"Okay, you can call me anytime if you need anything." Tie Jingang nodded and went back to the house to rest.

“You guys should go take a rest too.” Tie Jingang looked at Lei Tianyang, Lu Fei, Ling Xin, Lao Miaomiao and Xiao Tian beside him.

"Uh..." Tie Jingang couldn't help sweating on his forehead after seeing all this.

“I can go too!” Xiao Tian was eager to try, and there was no trace of fatigue on his face.

"It's too far away." Qian Dong added: "We can reach more than a hundred miles in one night. It would take two or three days for an ordinary caravan to reach it quickly, and the news can't be spread."

But before he could take any further action, a pair of slender arms wrapped around his neck, and suddenly there was a strong naked choke!

“Woooo…” Xiao Tian struggled, but the man behind him was very skilled in technique and surprisingly strong, and he soon lost consciousness…

"Oh, classmate Xiao, what's wrong with you..." Lao Miaomiao let go of Xiao Tian, ​​looking like it had nothing to do with her: "It seems you're sleepy, I'll take you back to have a rest..." With that, she carried the already Xiao Tian, ​​who was foaming at the mouth, entered the room...

“This place doesn’t matter anymore, just find a secluded wall and pee.”

The whole building is a large courtyard, surrounded by a long strip of guest rooms, and a large open space in the middle where you can park your horse and tie your horse. There is also a shed, tables and chairs for people to eat and drink, and it is very lively with people coming and going.

But this new guy had a very loud voice, and his roar silenced the entire compound. Dozens of people looked at him with confusion in their eyes.

"Shannan Town is gone? What does this mean?" A burly man with a beard stood up: "I just came from there a few days ago, and it was fine!" "I don't know either!" The man swallowed. : "I started here the day before yesterday and planned to go to the north through the Zhongzhou Mountains. I passed by Shannan Town last night and planned to rest. I saw that the town was empty, there was no one there, and it was still on fire. No one cared about it. It was fast. Half the town burned down..."

Tie Jinggang frowned and immediately leaned forward, wanting to inquire about the news.

"How is it possible?" People around were surprised: "There are more than 10,000 people in Shannan Town. How could it be possible that they disappeared overnight..."

"I don't know either..." The man shook his head: "Later I heard a loud noise coming from the mountains outside the town, so I braved it and went to take a look. I found a **** monster with a handsome and handsome man. Yu Xuanang’s master battle!”

It’s the original virus and the mysterious master! Tie Jingang moved forward again.

"Good guy, that monster is over ten feet tall, with black claws and tentacles all over its body, and it is extremely powerful. It can fly a boulder weighing several thousand kilograms with just one swing. It is very ferocious. The master is not simple, he has a body as tall as The ghost can also shoot out a huge light ball with a wave of his hand, and the monster is shattered, even the mountain is broken. "

That’s right, that mysterious master has been fighting with light balls. Tie Jinggang is even more sure that what this man said is true!

“Hit the ball of light?” The onlookers were surprised, “Which type of kung fu is this?”

"I don't know him either..." The man spread his hands and said, "But the ball of light was really powerful. It exploded with bangs and bangs, and finally completely turned the monster into ashes!"

The virogen is dead? The master won?

Tie Jingang felt happy, and then asked: "Are you sure that the black monster is dead?"

The man turned his head, glanced at Tie Jinggang, and nodded: "The monster must be dead, not even the scum is left! But when I was about to get close, the master warned me that this monster was carrying corpse poison. , it’s very dangerous, it’s best not to get close... Then he set a fire, burned it all around, and burned the monster’s remains to ashes!”

The treatment is also very clean!

Tie Jin just breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask: "What happened to that master?"

The man shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know either. While he was setting the fire, he told me that there were no living people in Shannan Town, and they were all eaten by this black monster. He advised me not to stay here." , after saying that, he flew away in a swish, that movement is quite powerful..."

“Isn’t this too ridiculous?” People around him obviously didn’t believe it: “A monster ate the whole city? What a big belly it has!”

“Besides, we haven’t heard of any masters in the world who can shoot light balls...”

“I think you made it up yourself?”

"Believe it or not! Anyway, I told you, if you don't listen, it's none of my business if you encounter monsters in the past!" The man curled his lips, asked the boss for a bowl of water, and drank it.

The others dispersed, but Tie Jin just came over: "Brother, you came back from Shannan Town this night, but did you take the official route?"

The man nodded: "Yes."

“Then did you see a few carriages along the way, carrying a lot of goods...”

The man recalled: "I actually saw it. It was in the south of Shannan Town, heading south along the official road."

“The carriage moved by itself?” Tie Jinggang raised his eyebrows.

"No, there are a few people rushing... tall and strong, holding Qimen weapons, they look like bandits from nearby..."

“When and where did you see it?” Tie Jingang asked.

"It's almost dawn..." the man recalled: "And the leader among them looks familiar to me. He is always active around Anping Town. I guess they are coming in this direction now. They are driving the carriage slowly. Now Probably still on the official path..."

Tie Jingang's eyes lit up. He originally just wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect to get the exact news!

"Thank you so much, brother!" Tie Jin just bowed his hand and immediately returned to the guest room. At this time, most of the students also woke up. He called to Ling Xin, Lu Fei and others: "Maybe we can find our luggage. came back!"

The man who brought the news finished drinking the water, glanced this way from a distance, smiled slightly, and turned away.

Not long after, in the guest room, Luo Jun came back with his pants lifted. The look on his eyebrows was lively. He didn't look like he had just woken up, and he no longer had the sluggish feeling from last night...
