I Have A City In An Alternate World Chapter 734

Chapter 734

734 The preparations before departure

After the non-human Overlord finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and glanced at the crowd with a sharp gaze.

The stowaways who were waiting all nodded slightly and no one raised any questions.

Seeing how overbearing that alien overlord was, even if you asked a reasonable question, he would probably take it as a challenge.

It wasn’t just once or twice that someone was disqualified because they didn’t like them. How could the stowaways make such a low-level mistake?

Therefore, even if the conditions were harsh, the stowaways had to bite the bullet and agree. Otherwise, once they annoyed these cultivators and were collectively banned, they would definitely regret it!

Of course, according to Tang Zhen’s guess, this kind of rule and rumor was probably deliberately done by those cultivator groups. The purpose was to make the stowaways accustomed to obedience from the beginning.

Now, it seemed that the effect was quite good!

Although those cultivator teams often competed in the open and in the dark, they maintained a rare tacit understanding in protecting their own interests. They advanced and retreated together in many things.

In fact, this was the only way they could ensure a monopoly of interests, and the harsh rules that were beneficial to them could be smoothly implemented.

If anyone dared to resist and challenge them, these foreign kinds would not hesitate to draw their blades and kill them, not stopping until they were dead!

In the past, there were indeed cultivators who thought highly of themselves who wanted to break this situation and even wanted to share the profits. In the end, their bones had already been pressed under the corpse dumping hole and had long rotted!

As time pa.s.sed, this situation continued, and no one dared to question or challenge him.

In fact, this was a matter that could not be discussed. If you were dissatisfied, you could leave and no one would ask you to stay.

Of course, the prerequisite was that you had to be confident that you could pa.s.s through the dangerous mountain range. Otherwise, you would have to learn to keep your mouth shut.

At this moment, the leader of the alien race was already holding a leather bag and collecting the brains from the stowaways. Each person received 50000 Yuan.

Everyone obediently took out the brains from their pockets and handed them over. Then, they received a dark red card made from the forebone of a monster from the leader of the alien race.

There was a ” ” pattern on the bone plate, so it should be a token of this team of cultivators. According to the Lord, as long as they wore this bone plate, no one would dare to cause them trouble before they set out for the dangerous mountain range.

For the rest of the time, everyone needed to prepare food and water, as well as Emergency Medicine and items. Then, they would set off the next morning.

After the leader left, the crowd dispersed and began to wander around the market.

Tang Zhen also started to purchase the items he needed along the way. Whether he used them or not was one matter, but at the very least, he had to put on an act.

In the past, when cultivators chose their food, they would basically buy a kind of brick cake made of grains and dried meat. It was strong and anti-hunger, and if stored properly, it would not go bad even after several years.

However, this kind of food had a faint earthy smell and was extremely hard when eaten dry. It was really not a good food.

However, the current situation was special and the stowaways didn’t have much choice. Even if they didn’t want to eat it, they had to buy a few pieces for later use.

In addition to a sufficient amount of food, medicine to cure injuries, detoxify, diarrhea, and deworming were also essential. Otherwise, he might lose his life because of this small negligence.

In the end, after collecting all the miscellaneous items, he had to spend a lot of money.

Whether it was the original world or this place, if one wanted to travel far, their money bag would always be thinner.

After walking one round, Tang Zhen carried a bulging beast skin bag and walked back. Along the way, he attracted quite a number of sneaky gazes.

After all, such a bag full of items would always attract the attention of people with bad intentions, and at the same time, they would guess what good things were inside.

However, when these thieves felt the Overlord aura emitted by Tang Zhen, especially when they saw the bone plate hanging on his waist, a trace of disappointment appeared in their eyes. They no longer paid any attention to Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhen faintly noticed this point. He secretly thought that these one hundred thousand brain beads were well spent. At the very least, they could avoid quite a lot of trouble.

Tang Zhen wasn’t afraid of these people. However, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Moreover, he could sense the aura of several extremely obscure King level cultivators in the market.

Although they thought that they had concealed themselves very well, they were still unable to hide from Tang Zhen’s special mental energy.

If they were to be implicated because of some dispute, there would definitely be many unexpected changes. This was also something that Tang Zhen was trying his best to avoid.

When he arrived at the gathering point, he saw two or three stowaways sitting on the ground. They didn’t talk to each other and were very vigilant.

They were afraid of missing the departure time, so they decided to stay here and rest for the night. After all, those cultivator teams were overbearing and wouldn’t wait for you just because you were late.

Fortunately, most of the cultivators in Lou city were used to eating and sleeping in the open, so camping in the wild was a common occurrence. No one felt that anything was wrong.

Tang Zhen sat for a while and felt quite bored. However, he could not take out a book to read because it would really be too eye-catching.

After all, most of the cultivators in Lou city were illiterate. It was normal to see cultivators wielding swords and sabers, but if you saw cultivators wielding calligraphy and ink, you would feel that it was very abrupt and out of place in the surrounding environment.

Tang Zhen reckoned that if he were to take out a book to read, it would definitely attract the attention of countless people. At that time, no matter how low-key he pretended to be, he would still attract the attention of people with ulterior motives.

However, it was really boring to just sit there, and his method of cultivating mental energy was too shocking. When the time came, the entire Wanderer market would probably be in chaos.

Since he had nothing to do, Tang Zhen decided to continue walking around.

At this moment, a loud noise was heard. Dozens of foreign cultivators in the same armor ran toward the alley in the distance.

Tang Zhen switched to the map and found out that these foreign cultivators were the managers of the market. The place where they gathered was the place where he and the young man had killed the foreign cultivators.

At this moment, these foreign cultivators were chasing away the onlookers and carrying the corpses out. At the same time, a two-star horde leader was examining the wounds on the corpses with a gloomy expression.

Tang Zhen slowly walked over. After he got closer and heard a few words of their conversation, he prepared to turn around and leave.

It turned out that these foreign cultivators initially thought that this was an internal fight between the two!

This was because a cultivator who used a sword had gone missing, and all the property in their lair had been looted!

It was better for these foreign race cultivators to think this way. It would save him some trouble. As for why they made such a judgment and what happened later, Tang Zhen was not interested in knowing.

At this moment, Tang Zhen realized that someone was looking at him. When he looked in the direction of the gaze, he discovered a Wanderer with a fl.u.s.tered expression. The Wanderer quickly lowered his head when Tang Zhen looked over.

The corner of Tang Zhen’s mouth revealed a faint smile as he watched the Wanderer’s figure rapidly disappear.

At this moment, the foreign cultivators had already carried the dead bodies out of the alley and headed straight to a small hill outside the market.

Tang Zhen, who was watching from the side, faintly heard the words “corpse dumping cave” from the mouths of the onlookers. His heart immediately moved as he slowly followed.
