Chapter 1526 - 1526 The dazzling Valley (1)
1526 The dazzling Valley (1)
The colorful Valley was the only port at the edge of this fragment. Every five days, there would be transport ships coming and going to this place, transporting goods from other fragments to this place, and then transporting the local specialties to other places.
Of course, in addition to transporting goods, the transport ship would also take away the wandering mercenaries and people who had left their homes to make a living. Like all kinds of goods, this was also the main source of income for the transport ship.
For ordinary people, buying a ticket to leave the fragment often required them to spend half of their life savings. Therefore, even if someone wanted to leave, they couldn’t gather enough money to pay the fare.
The part of the spacetime Codex that Lou Cheng was looking for was most likely in the hands of this Transportation Group called ‘Firefly’.
In the black hole prison, the ships that could fly were worth a fortune. Liu Ying had thousands of ships of different sizes, which showed how strong they were.
As for the source of these ships, they were basically antiques that had been sucked into the black hole for countless years. Under the careful maintenance of the maintenance technicians, they could barely maintain normal operation.
In addition to the normal operators, each transport ship was also equipped with 100 fully-armed mercenaries. Anyone who dared to cause trouble would be turned into a corpse or thrown into the sea of nothingness between the fragment continents, floating aimlessly after death.
After driving for nearly three days, Tang Zhen and the others finally arrived at the colorful Valley, which was the only place they had to pass to leave the fragment.
In the huge and desolate Valley, there were seven-colored crystals that looked like clusters of crystals. They were seven to eight meters tall and looked as mesmerizing as flawless gemstones.
Whenever night fell, the seven-colored crystal would emit a charming light, making the whole Valley like a playground with bright lights. Even if one looked at it for an entire night, they would not feel bored.
Of course, there was no sun in the black hole prison. The so-called daytime was just the light of the sea of magma shining through the sky River. However, after every dozens of hours, the sea of magma would become dim.
The creatures in the black hole prison set their day and night based on this, so that they could have a regular schedule.
Although the rainbow crystal looked beautiful, it was harmful to living things. As long as one stayed near it for more than three minutes, they would involuntarily start hallucinating, and then sit in place in a daze.
If no one took it away, even if it died of hunger or thirst, it would never leave.
Under every cluster of seven-colored crystals in the dazzled Valley, there were piles of bones. Even so, every year, there would still be Rascals from other places who would treat them as gemstones, and then wave them around in an attempt to break them into pieces for money.
In most cases, these greedy people would become new corpses, and only a few would be rescued, barely keeping their lives.
By right, such things should have been cleared out, but in reality, the owner of the valley had only destroyed the rainbow crystals near the port. No one had paid any attention to the periphery. Instead, they had used the characteristics of the rainbow crystals as a protective wall to stop the violent monsters and intruders.
When Tang Zhen’s group followed the road that was forcefully stomped into the port, they saw a few thousand people gathered there. Most of them were wandering mercenaries. Their sharp eyes continuously sized up their surroundings.
The ordinary people were hiding in the corners, trying to stay as far away from these rebellious wandering mercenaries as possible. Their faces were full of worry and unconcealable fear of leaving their homeland.
After Tang Zhen and the others got out of the car, many eyes immediately focused on them. Some people even whistled at the two women, Luo Fei, and Luo Fei. At the same time, they loudly said obscene words.
The middle-aged man flashed the weapon on his body, and the teasing voices suddenly reduced a lot. After all, there were only a few guys who had sex in their brains, and not many people were willing to fight with this seemingly strong team.
Tang Zhen expressionlessly looked around. Among these wandering mercenaries, he saw a few familiar faces. There were wandering mercenaries who ran out of the Gurgan territory, and also cultivators with twinkling eyes.
&Nbsp; it had been a few days since the last battle. They probably already knew that he had a spacetime Codex on him and were thinking about how to take it.
Tang Zhen wasn’t afraid of this group of people. If there were any ignorant people who dared to provoke them, he could use them to test out the ability he had just obtained.
The peddlers wandering in the valley came over and asked if they needed hot food. After seeing everyone nod, they led them to a building made of stone.
The building only had dozens of pillars and a roof, with more than a dozen rows of crude chairs. The chefs and helpers were busy, and the guests gathered together to drink and chat.
The middle-aged man had been here a few times and was quite familiar with this place. After asking everyone, he ordered a sand rat cooked in thick soup and wine from other fragments.
The food was ready-made. After ordering, it was carried over by four servants who looked like halflings and placed on their table.
The sand rat was the size of a goat with short legs. Its internal organs had been dug out and then stewed in a thick black soup. No matter how one looked at it, it was a dark dish.
“Trust me, although this thing looks disgusting, you will never forget its delicious taste!”
The middle-aged man saw Luo Fei’s expression and immediately explained with a smile. After all, he was the one who ordered the meal. He was afraid that the powerful woman would misunderstand and think that he was deliberately disgusting her.
Tang Zhen’s brows furrowed. He picked up the obsidian knife that was inserted in the large basin and made two cuts on the gerbil’s body. Soon after, a piece of sparkling and translucent meat like a fish’s belly was cut off. The meat on the tip of the knife was constantly shaking like jelly.
Following the middle-aged man’s instructions, Tang Zhen dipped it into the soy sauce-colored soup. He placed it in his mouth and chewed a few times before his face revealed a satisfied expression.
The food was surprisingly delicious, and some of the seasonings were the specialty of the black hole prison. The feeling of bursting the taste buds could indeed stimulate one’s appetite and make one chew and swallow quickly.
Even after swallowing it, the slightly smooth touch still lingered in his mouth, leaving him with an endless aftertaste.
“It does taste good. Don’t you want to try it?”
Tang Zhen turned his head and glanced at Luo Fei. The other party revealed a stiff smile. However, she still picked up the obsidian knife and cut a piece. She placed it in her mouth and slowly chewed.
“I’ve heard that some cultivators have great appetites and would even invade the taste of the natives of the world. Of course, most of them just want to have a taste.”
Tang Zhen said as he cut another plate and poured the thick sauce on it with a spoon. He looked at Luo Fei and said,”I find you very special. Your style is different from many cultivators in loucheng. You’re more like a flower grown in a greenhouse.”
This was the first time Tang Zhen had talked about personal matters with Luo Fei. It seemed abrupt but it also showed that Tang Zhen had begun to treat Luo Fei as a real partner.
The two of them had known each other for a period of time and had even experienced three missions together. If Tang Zhen was still unable to see through a person after such a long time, then he would not need to be the war zone’s leader.
Luo Fei seemed to be very dissatisfied with Tang Zhen’s description. Her slender eyebrows were slightly raised and her face, which was full of heroic spirit, became serious. She stared at Tang Zhen and said word by word,”Whether it’s strength or knowledge, I don’t think I’m much worse than others. Of course, compared to you, I do lack some courage and decisiveness.
However, in my opinion, this is not a big problem. You should know that experience can only be accumulated by yourself. In a few years, I will become like you!”
When Luo Fei said this, there was a hint of unwillingness to admit defeat in her tone, which made Tang Zhen believe his judgment even more.
In fact, she was not suitable for this kind of cruel trial. It was fine in the soul trial, at least the probability of death was very low, but now, in this true body trial, which could kill her if she was not careful, it was very likely to cause her to lose her life.
Of course, this was the other party’s choice. Tang Zhen had no interest in interfering. His earlier words were merely to confirm his own guess.
