Tang Zhen shifted his gaze away from the cultivator skill option and casually looked through it for a while. He accidentally discovered another option called map.
“After he curiously opened it, Tang Zhen was surprised to find that there was a map near loucheng for sale! ”
“Tang Zhen’s spirit jolted. This was a good thing. It would be of great help to him in understanding the surrounding terrain and forces. After carefully reading the instructions on it, Tang Zhen understood the rules for selling this map. ”
“This was also something with a level limit. For example, the Holy Dragon City was currently a level 1 city, so the maps that could be purchased were also only Level 1 maps. It could only show the actual area controlled by the Holy Dragon City, the location of the surrounding hundred kilometers of cities and the area controlled by them. Other than that, there was no other information. ”
“To put it bluntly, it was an almost blank map with the locations of a few buildings marked on it. ”
“If one wanted a more accurate map, such as the distribution of monsters, the strongholds of various forces in the area, the origin of known precious materials, and other information, one would have to pay a high amount of points to complete all the information. ”
“In other words, this map was only a simplified version. If you want to upgrade it to the complete or perfect version, you’d better pay your points! ”
“Looking at the introduction on the platform, Tang Zhen felt that it was so familiar. This fraudulent money-making mode was exactly the same as the application store. Could they have come from the same behind-the-scenes boss? ”
“After cursing in his heart, Tang Zhen still obediently paid the points and bought a nearly blank level one map. However, after buying the map, his points had already been exhausted. ”
“A yellow map that looked like it was made of sheepskin appeared. The first thing that entered Tang Zhen’s line of sight was the Holy Dragon City. However, when he saw the area controlled by the Holy Dragon City, he felt a pain in the ass. ”
“According to the markings on the map, the Holy Dragon City only controlled a small area around the Holy Dragon Valley. Even the large gravel plain in front of the valley was a land without an owner! ”
“Looking at the Black Rock City on the map, the area it controlled was more than ten times his own. The contrast was so obvious! ”
“On this map, apart from the Holy Dragon City and Black Rock City, Tang Zhen also discovered seven to eight other cities. Other than a second-level city, the rest were all first-level cities like the Holy Dragon City. ”
“As the only Level 4 city within a 100-kilometer radius, Black Rock City’s position as the Overlord was unquestionable. ”
Tang Zhen felt suspicious in his heart. Were these buildings all built by humans? were there buildings built by the foreign races among them?
“Tang Zhen slowly shifted his gaze to a nearby Level 1 city. After staring at it for a moment, some words suddenly popped up on the map. ”
“[ corpse clan’s Lou Cheng, Level 1. ] ”
Tang Zhen’s heart jumped. It was actually the corpse clan’s Lou Cheng!
“This damned spirit brain corpse King, it had used some unknown method to successfully build a city Tower, this was truly bad news! ”
“Because of the appearance of the corpse race, the people in this area had no means of living. Now, this guy had actually built another city Tower. He was simply going to make it bigger and stronger, and claim to be the Overlord! ”
“Tang Zhen had a deep understanding of the terror of the corpse race. They had the characteristic of not fearing death and a body that was not afraid of pain. There were also all sorts of strange corpse race creatures that had the ability to transform humans into the corpse race. When facing such monsters, the other races would not have any advantage in a battle. ”
“Black Rock City, which had been beaten to the point where it could not even retaliate, was the best proof! ”
“With so many advantages, the corpse race could plunder resources without restraint. If the corpse race’s Tower wanted to advance, it would be an extremely easy matter! ”
“Since the corpse race would attack the Holy Dragon City sooner or later, they had to take action first. ”
“After he left the cornerstone trading platform, Tang Zhen’s mood was a little heavy. ”
“It seemed that he was still a little presumptuous. He had originally thought that the Holy Dragon City could obtain a short-term development opportunity by developing behind closed doors and not actively touching those outside forces. However, now it seemed that this was actually an ostrich mentality. ”
“You don’t find trouble with others, but others will take the initiative to find you. Since trouble is inevitable, then it’s better to take the initiative and clean up this trouble completely! ”
“Tang Zhen was thinking about how to cause some trouble for the spiritbrain corpse King, but he didn’t expect that the Holy Dragon city’s soldiers would find him just as he walked to the door. ”
“””City Lord, Black Rock City has sent a cultivator battle squad. They have requested an audience with you. They said that they have something important to discuss with you.”” ”
The soldier’s words caused Tang Zhen to be stunned. Black Rock City actually took the initiative to send someone to look for him. They even said that they had something important to discuss with him. What were they planning?
“Many thoughts flashed through Tang Zhen’s mind, but his actions were not affected in the slightest. He walked to the square, rode a motorcycle, and quickly headed to the city wall. ”
“After stepping on the city wall, Tang Zhen glanced down and saw a five-man cultivator battle team waiting below. Tang Zhen recognized the person in the lead. He was the young man named Xiao Rui. ”
“After seeing Tang Zhen’s appearance, Xiao Rui, who was wearing a black cultivator’s uniform, cupped his hands together and greeted him. He then opened his mouth and said to Tang Zhen, city Lord, I’m an emissary from Black Rock City. I would like to send my regards to you on behalf of the city Lord. At the same time, I would like to invite you to join the alliance Army to fight against the corpse race! ”
“Tang Zhen laughed hideously when he heard this. He looked down at little Rui and said, it seems like Black Rock City can’t hold on any longer. Now, he’s targeting our small cities. He didn’t even think about it. If Black Rock City can’t do anything to this group of undead, do we, small families, have the ability to fight against the undead? “” ”
“Xiao Rui’s expression turned serious when he heard this, and he replied in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, “” “”Governor Tang, you’re wrong. Black Rock City is only temporarily on the defensive. This is just a tactical strategy. ”
“I don’t know if you’ve ever thought that once my Black Rock City is destroyed, the next target of the corpse race will definitely be your Holy Dragon City. I’ve heard an old man say that ‘the teeth grow cold when the lips are gone’. I believe that with city Lord Tang’s talent and ability, he would have thought of this, right?”” ”
“””Knowing or not is one thing, and doing it is another. Do you really think that we have no other way other than fighting the corpse clan?”” ”
“running away is not a solution. Once the entire world is occupied by the corpse race, where will we run to? “” ”
“I admit that the corpse race is very strong, but the endless wilderness is so vast that there must be more than one race stronger than the corpse race. You said that the corpse race will control the entire world, but I think you think too highly of that group of rotten meat that is neither human nor ghost! ”
“After Tang Zhen said this, he glanced at Xiao Rui and put on an expression that said,””I won’t fall for your trap. Let’s see what you can do to me.”” ”
“How could there be such a good thing in the world? even if the undead race was his enemy, Black Rock City would still have to provide him with sufficient benefits if he wanted to send out his troops! ”
“Seeing Tang Zhen’s impervious attitude, Xiao Rui and the cultivators behind him felt very helpless. ”
“This time, they had followed the orders of the city Lord to contact the nearby towers. Almost none of the teams had completed the mission easily. The people who were usually respectful when they saw Black Rock City were now all acting arrogantly, as if they were certain that Black Rock City would not survive this disaster. ”
“As for whether their own city would follow in the footsteps of Black Rock City, these guys did not seem to care at all. After all, that was a story for another time. The current situation was that Black Rock City was the one begging them. ”
“Black Rock City was a big city. If they did not take this opportunity to reap some benefits and bite off a piece of meat from it, who knew if they would have another chance like this in the future! ”
