Chapter 32: The Western Prairie
Looking around, the earth is green and verdant, boundless, quiet and peaceful, with white clouds in the sky, and eagles are spreading their wings and soaring.
This is a beautiful prairie, how come to this place?
Jingwei knew that he had arrived in the west of Yingzhou World.
Because only the west of Yingzhou has grasslands, doesn’t this mean that I have traveled through several empires and directly arrived at the rarely visited Western prairie. Hey, such a life experience is probably unprecedented.
It's so far away, when will it take me to go back?
He had heard the geographical overview of Yingzhou before. Most of the people living in the central part of Yingzhou were human races, divided into seven empires, and some weak tribes were also scattered in the central part; the south was a humid and stuffy rainforest, which stretched across the southern part of Yingzhou, and no one could cross it; the east was an endless swamp, known as a big swamp, and only had coastal cities in Tianlan; the north was a snowy area with wind and snow, and the powerful snow tribe lived in.
He has now arrived at the grassland in the west of Yingzhou, located west of the western border of Kaituo Pass. It is said that further west of the grassland is the Gobi Desert with constant wind and sand, which is rarely visited and difficult to cross.
How will I survive in such a worldly place?
There will be no teleportation array here.
Now, he couldn't even tell the direction, so he could only determine the approximate direction based on the rise of the sun and the moon.
Finally, he decided to find a suitable place to rest before dark, otherwise he would have to guard the grassland in the dark to prevent attacks from wild animals and enemies.
The terrain was slightly higher not far away, so in order to see the surrounding situation clearly, he decided to stay in the high ground first.
He was not idle either. He looked for some dry grass everywhere, some for laying on the ground to sleep, and the other for piled aside, and used fire spells to ignite it when necessary.
Night soon fell, and Jingwei didn't know what dangers would be in this place. In order to avoid exposure, he did not make a fire and waited alone in the darkness.
This place is indeed deserted and he did not see a trace of light.
In the central Yingzhou area, even if there are no lights at night, there will be scattered fireflies.
And there was really nothing here, and he felt a little danger approaching.
This is not a good feeling. He knew that the feeling of a genius like him was very accurate. He had to prepare in advance to deal with the upcoming attack.
Before he could prepare, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in the darkness, and a sharp dagger flashed with lightning lightning toward him. The Jingwei instinctively leaned back and avoided the killing attack.
Immediately afterwards, a dense spiral kick came, and Jingwei felt his chest be hit dozens of times.
He was kicked to the ground, his bones all over his body seemed to be disastrous.
He lit the pile of hay with a fireball, and in an instant the night around him lit up.
Under the light of the fire, the figure quickly retreated and disappeared in the darkness again. She had only time to see her back, but she had long hair and agile figure, as if she was a woman.
You can't just suffer a loss like this.
Jingwei threw the fireball into the distance, and the hot fireball immediately chased after him, illuminating half of the high slope. According to the light, Jingwei hurriedly chased after him. His speed was very fast and he was about to catch up in a few breaths.
But the fireball was extinguished.
He immediately took out Duan Xiangsi and flew over with simple sword-controlling techniques. Duan Xiangsi led him toward the darkness.
Under his intentional control, Duan Xiangsi burst out with dazzling light, and the brightness was just right, so there was no need to throw the fireball anymore.
Jingwei is now like a dazzling fire in the night sky, or like a fast-moving star chasing the vast grassland.
The woman in front of her immediately panicked. She didn't expect that this strange foreigner would be so powerful. He originally thought that this foreigner was not old and should be easy to deal with, but who knew that he had encountered a tough guy.
After Jingwei chased after her, he strangled her throat and pressed her to the ground, and instantly controlled her.
The dagger that assassinated him was also confiscated. The cold dagger could vaguely see the cold light in the dark, full of cold air, and the light of short lovesickness reflected on the woman's face. Jingwei did not see the fear or anxiety. What he saw was the woman's unyielding face and the hatred look.
Since she was a stranger and had never met before, Jingwei really couldn't understand why she was assassinating him, and there was no reason for such a strong hatred to burst out in her eyes.
What did I provoke you?
In addition, Jingwei was worried that his appearance would attract more people, so he didn't dare to stay for a long time. After tying the girl, he quickly took her away. This time he flew about fifty miles with Duan Xiangsi, and didn't know what direction it was. In short, he galloped in one direction.
Along the way, he met about two waves of people, with their own tents and bonfires. Jingwei did not stop and avoided them in advance at a distance because he felt a powerful aura, which was a strong man far higher than his strength.
It seems that this place is also very unsafe, full of unknowns and risks, so I have to think of going back.
After the surrounding environment is safe, he will interrogate the girl and ask her why she was assassinating him.
After flying for about an hour, he felt that the terrain here was getting lower and lower, the water and grass were abundant, and the surrounding environment became much wet. He probably came to the swamp near the river.
The grass here is taller and extra lush, and is more suitable for hiding whereabouts.
He threw the girl on the ground, and he sat on the ground, panting with exhaustion. He didn't rest as he was afraid of attacks, so he kept flying over like this.
The girl had been knocked unconscious by him. In order to wake her up, he brought a little water from the river and poured it on her face.
There was no reaction at all. Hey, it wasn't right. Was it because I was too heavy to do it?
He leaned forward and looked carefully, and found that her breathing was stable and her breath was smooth, and there was nothing unusual.
Jingwei was secretly on guard. He had already seen that the girl did not wake up on purpose. It seemed that she wanted to launch a fatal blow.
Of course, Jingwei could not give her this opportunity. He did not learn so many days in Mulei Sect. He immediately had lightning chains to serve him. The dense lightning flashes turned into a piece of clothing and enveloped the girl.
Then the girl twitched and was so electric that she couldn't stand it anymore and opened her eyes.
Her eyes were big and bright, reflecting the light of broken lovesickness, flashing in her eyes, but Jingwei saw a strong flame of hatred from her eyes.
"Why did you kill me in the dark?" He still couldn't understand her sudden hatred.
"You foreigners have burned, killed, and plundered, and committed a heinous crime. How could I not kill you?"
"Why do you think I'm a bad guy?"
"My mother said that there are demons east of the Kaitao Pass. Our ancestors were driven away by you, our hometown was seized by you, and even we who stayed here were bullied from you from time to time. Isn't this enough?"
Jingwei immediately got angry and said, "I come from the Tianlan Empire in the eastern part of Yingzhou. It is extremely far away from this place and has no connection with you at all."
He said to her seriously: "Before today, I never thought I could come to your place, nor did I think I would bully you in the future."
"So, put away your hatred, I am not the bad guy you imagined. Besides, the east of the Kaikai Pass is extremely wide, and the seven empires rule endless territory. Are so many people the enemies in your eyes?"
The girl remained silent, she had never heard of these before.
Jingwei continued: "The hatred of history will eventually be destroyed in history. This is what the people who taught me said, and he also said that people should look forward."
"How do you look forward?" said the girl, "The people in our prairie have no hope. The environment here is getting worse and worse, and it is becoming less and less suitable for human survival. In the empire you mentioned, there are often cavalry coming over, burning, killing, looting without benefits. Many women were taken away. I escaped at the last moment before hiding. However, my tribe has been implicated, and the daughter of the patriarch was used to replace me. It has been three months since this incident, but I still feel bad. Someone has suffered for me, and my heart is broken. I want to kill all the cavalry now."
"So that's how it is." Jingwei was a little angry after hearing this. How could he bully the people in the prairie so recklessly? Just because they are in a deserted place, do they look down on them like this?
"This world is spoken by fists. Although people on the grassland are good at riding and shooting and are extremely brave, no matter how brave they are, they cannot beat those who can practice." The girl was helpless when she said this.
"The Chongwen Empire is closer to the prairie. The empire is good at training cavalry. Their mounts are not ordinary mounts. Their cavalry are also successful practitioners. Such powerful power is enough to sweep all tribes on the prairie."
"So that's the case, that's really helpless." Jingwei suddenly remembered the three clans of Fire Butterflies, Red Bee and Peony he saw in Wanhua Valley before. There were countless powerful people in these three clans, occupying the advantage of the territory, but because the power of the strong is not as strong as that of the other party, the whole clan was tragically destroyed.
This world is indeed the prey of the weak.
Compared to those three tribes, the people on the prairie are still lucky, and at least they can still leave their lives.
Isn’t the grassland very vast? Why do you only hear her say about the empire Chongwen?
As a result, the girl's answer shocked him even more.
"The empire in the north is even more heartless. The central and northern part of the prairie is separated from the Mingyue Empire by a continuous Xiling. The army of the Mingyue Empire sets off guard on the Xiling. Anyone who enters the grassland west of the Xiling will be shot and killed if they enter privately."
Jingwei was shocked again. It seemed that he was wearing outside clothes and walking here. The final result must be that everyone would shout for killing him, and the day was in danger.
"Why are the two empires so cruel to you? I think you are also human races, so there is no difference."
"It's faith." The girl said lightly. "The division of faith is accompanied by bloody storms. It is obvious that our ancestors were defeated."
The girl pointed to the lightning chain on her body, "You'd better let me go. I can't pursue you, but you'd better rush back to the east of the Kaitao Pass and return to your world, otherwise our high priest will easily turn you into dust."
Jingwei curled his lips, feeling uncomfortable. He was a unique genius, and he was just looked down upon. "I don't believe it, I am a peerless genius. If you give me ten years, your high priest can't do anything to me."
"Stop bragging," the girl said sarcastically, "You are afraid you don't know the strength of the high priest. According to your standards, he is at least at the Mahayana level or above."
Jingwei stopped talking at once. He was a little confused. He actually had a master above the Mahayana realm.
Since there are such masters, why are you willing to be bullied? I really don’t understand what you are thinking.
