530 Chapter 530! the road back, full of killing intent
This sneak attack that happened at night only lasted for a dozen minutes.
The Holy Dragon city’s cultivators were well-prepared, and with their advantage in strength and equipment, victory was inevitable.
The two leaders of the ambushers were killed by Tang Zhen in succession, and the remaining ambushers immediately fell into chaos. Under the siege of the Holy Dragon City cultivators who were skilled in fighting, they were all annihilated in a short time.
After the battle, they checked the bodies of the attackers and found that there were no elven cultivators. Instead, they were all from a race that was subordinate to the elf race.
After Yue qianhua looked at the corpses of the attackers, she didn’t say much and only thanked Tang Zhen again.
The elven aristocrat was attacked in his own tower, and this incident scared the hell out of city Lord Norma. Fortunately, other than a few injured elven cultivators, Tang Zhen’s team did not suffer any losses.
The next morning, everyone left the market and headed to the area controlled by the elves.
The vehicle they were riding on was a strong Mount similar to a horse. It had good speed and endurance.
Tang Zhen originally wanted to take out a car to use as a means of transportation, but he quickly gave up this idea. Instead, he rode on the Mount gifted by the city Lord of Norma.
This wasn’t the Wildlands, and taking a car wouldn’t bring them any convenience. On the contrary, they might encounter countless troubles that would hinder their journey.
Moreover, the main purpose of his trip was to ‘observe the enemy’s situation’, so it was better to keep a low profile.
Riding on strong mounts, the group slowly advanced on the road in the wilderness. From time to time, they would encounter cultivators and Wanderers.
When these people saw the elven cultivators in the team, they would always bow respectfully and then move to the side to make way.
The arrogance and domineering nature of the elves could be seen from this. No wonder Yue qianhua and the others had been so arrogant when they first arrived in Holy Dragon City!
Other than the foreign cultivators, they also saw Wanderers ‘camps and places like inns and restaurants from time to time.
It was impossible to see such a scene in the wilderness where monsters were rampant, but it was normal on the land under their feet.
As he looked at the scenery along the way, Tang Zhen had a feeling that he had arrived in the Middle Ages of his original world. However, this was merely a magical version.
After the last sneak attack, the enemy might have learned of Holy Dragon city’s strength, so the journey these few days had been calm.
The enemy would definitely not give up on assassinating Yue qianhua. The current peace was just a brewing storm.
The moon god count was considered an influential figure in the elven race, and he controlled a large piece of land. The land was basically rich, and its value went without saying.
Now that the moon god count had died, there would definitely be people who would covet his land. As the inheritor of the city, Yue qianhua would naturally not be able to return alive.
There was probably more than one enemy who had such thoughts.
Therefore, the battle along the way had only just begun!
Tang Zhen did not have the mood to participate in this kind of power struggle. He only continued to observe what he saw along the way and made preparations to occupy this land in the future.
Tang Zhen would return to the Holy Dragon City directly after he received the reward he deserved in the tower where dayue qianhua was located.
The elves ‘territory was too far away from the Holy Dragon City. Even if they were very envious of this fertile land, they knew that with the Holy Dragon city’s current strength, they could not completely control this land.
However, if Yue qianhua was willing to cooperate with him, Tang Zhen wouldn’t mind supporting a puppet within the elf clan, allowing the Holy Dragon City to have one more ‘ally’ in this rich land!
In fact, the Holy Dragon City had already begun their research on the continent, but due to limited conditions, many of their work could not be carried out normally.
The only thing he could do now was to carry out a series of research through the information collected in the commercial district.
However, now that Tang Zhen had the energy heart, he could make this research even more powerful.
By relying on the [ super creature molding machine ] that he had downloaded from the application store, Tang Zhen could mass-produce various kinds of half-mechanical biological bodies, which naturally included the bodies of foreign races.
When these foreign bodies had their souls hosted, they would undergo special training and then be scattered across the continent, providing a steady stream of information to the Holy Dragon City.
With Holy Dragon city’s support and help, these foreign race “spies” would definitely shine, and the entire continent would no longer have any secrets to hide.
Moreover, the war on this continent must not be as tough as the one in the Wildlands. Otherwise, once the forces of the loucheng on the continent joined forces, it would be extremely disadvantageous to Holy Dragon City.
Of course, these were all things to be discussed later, and there was no need to think too much about it now.
A wave of crisp bird chirps sounded. Tang Zhen raised his head and glanced around. He discovered a group of birds with long tail feathers flying up in panic. They were extremely beautiful and colorful.
The place where the birds had flown was a dense forest similar to green bamboo, located on both sides of the road.
From a distance, the bamboo forest was extremely beautiful. It was one of the sights that could not be seen in the Wildlands.
“If I were to build a small building in this bamboo forest, drinking tea and reading every day, and fishing and roasting meat in my spare time, it would definitely be a life like that of an immortal.
It’s a pity that such a good environment, why must it be stained with the smell of blood?”
When Yue qianhua heard this, she felt a little confused. However, the fatty, who was not far away, frowned and gave a look to the Holy Dragon City cultivators behind him.
The Holy Dragon City cultivator nodded lightly. Immediately after, the thirty Holy Dragon City cultivators at the back of the group quietly jumped off their mounts and quickly burrowed into the grass beside them.
Tang Zhen, fatty and the rest were still chatting and laughing. They seemed to have turned a blind eye to this scene as they slowly approached the bamboo forest.
At this moment, Yue qianhua also noticed the Holy Dragon City cultivators who had disappeared. She nodded slightly to thank Tang Zhen, and a smile appeared on her face.
This was the first time Yue qianhua had smiled since they had left nightmare forest. It was obvious that she had gradually recovered from her grief.
However, after Tang Zhen saw Yue qianhua’s polite smile, he felt an increasingly obvious sense of alienation.
As they talked and laughed, the group had already entered the small path in the bamboo forest.
Compared to the scorching heat outside, the air inside the bamboo forest was extremely fresh, giving people a relaxed and happy feeling.
However, not many people knew that not far away from the bamboo forest, a silent killing had already come to an end.
After the last enemy was killed, the Holy Dragon City cultivators quickly retreated, leaving behind a ground full of blood and corpses.
They sped through the bamboo forest, and after making sure that there were no more enemies, they jumped on their respective mounts without anyone noticing and continued on their way as if nothing had happened.
Soon after they passed through the bamboo forest, they came to a Wanderer gathering place built by the river.
As long as they were not residents of the city, they were all Wanderers and were not protected by the city.
This was why most of the time, the Wanderers would choose to gather together to fight against the bandits and the monsters that appeared.
Of course, every once in a while, these Wanderers would have to pay the city a tribute in exchange for the right to stay on this land.
The scenery of this Wanderer gathering place was very good. There were dozens of stone houses built on the open space by the river, and there were mills and stone bridges by the river. It had a bit of medieval idyllic scenery.
There was a shop on the roadside that provided food for passers-by. Tang Zhen and the others saw that the shop was relatively clean and decided to take a rest here.
