Among all the cities, Red Cliff City is medium-sized at best, but it also has a population of hundreds of thousands.
The food and materials consumed by the residents in these cities daily are not enough to be produced by themselves. A large part comes from the many villages below and trade with other cities.
Therefore Sacred Ancestor Road is also a life channel.
Once Sacred Ancestor Road is cut off by rogue bandits, Red Cliff City can hold on for at most one or two months, and chaos will definitely occur.
This is absolutely intolerable to Zhao Zhenxuan!
This Innate expert has sent out many teams to wipe out the rogue bandits, but they failed every time and suffered heavy losses.
So far, two Houtian expert have been killed, Marrow Refining peak's Martial Artist has suffered dozens of losses, and the remaining casualties are even greater.
Red Cliff City, no matter how big it is, cannot bear such continuous blood loss.
Wang Chen was surprised. "The bandits are so strong?"
"That's right."
Zhao Zhenxuan nodded gloomily. "The leader is Houtian peak's cultivation!"
Houtian peak also does the job of robbing families and homes?
Wang Chen sounds incredible.
Even if such a master can't survive in one place, he can still thrive in another city incognito. Isn't it much better than being a bandit?
Is it for excitement?
Zhao Zhenxuan gave a very reasonable explanation.
He speculated that the bandits that harassed Red Cliff City were most likely supported by other cities.
This is not something unbelievable.
There are countless examples of cities supporting or forming rogue teams and sending them to other cities to plunder supplies. Especially in years when the food harvest is not good, many things happen.
These bandits not only attacked Sacred Ancestor Road, but also targeted the villages below the city, robbing homes and being very cruel.
At present, Red Cliff City has lost contact with many villages, and it is suspected that several have fallen.
Therefore, annihilating this rogue bandit who has done evil has become the most important thing for Red Cliff City right now.
The problem is that as the most important combat force in Red Cliff City, Zhao Zhenxuan cannot easily leave the city to suppress bandits.
"There are many rogue eyes and ears in the city."
This Innate expert said in a deep voice, "Once I leave, they will definitely cause trouble in the city."
What the bandits are best at is fighting guerrilla warfare. They will never fight hard with Zhao Zhenxuan, they will only use sneak attacks and plots.
Zhao Zhenxuan must stabilize his base, so he came here to invite Wang Chen Make a Move!
Wang Chen After listening, he asked directly, "Then what are the benefits to me?"
In fact, Wang Chen was already moved at this time, because it was not a burden for him to eliminate these evil-doing bandits, and he could earn a lot of health points.
But if he agreed directly like this, wouldn't it make him look cheap?
Wang Chen doesn't want to leave the other party with the impression that he is easy to talk to!
"How about a magic weapon?"
Zhao Zhenxuan had obviously thought about this problem a long time ago and said without hesitation, "City Lord's Mansion has two magic weapons in his secret library to destroy this group of bandits. You can choose one!"
This Innate expert's heart is bleeding.
The magic weapon was so precious. If the situation hadn't been so bad this time, he wouldn't have been willing to give one as a reward.
"Magical weapon."
Unexpectedly, Wang Chen actually looked uninterested. "I already have it."
Wang Chen not only has magic weapons, but also has three of them!
It's useless no matter how much.
Even if you don't want the magic weapon, Zhao Zhenxuan can't be punished now. "Then you say it!"
Zhao Zhenxuan had all the money, women, power, and skills, but he estimated that these mundane things might not be able to impress Wang Chen, so he simply threw the question to Wang Chen.
Wang Chen is also in a bit of trouble - he lacks everything!
After thinking for a while, Wang Chen said, "Let's do this, let me go to the secret library and let me choose three things, except for the magic weapon."
"Deal!"
Zhao Zhenxuan agreed without hesitation.
City Lord's Mansion's secret vault is filled with his private collection. The most precious ones are the two magic weapons. Wang Chen doesn't want magic weapons, so let alone three items, he is totally willing to give up a few more.
To show his sincerity, he said, "We just go and choose now."
This Innate expert was quite smart, and Wang Chen did not refuse, so he followed him to the City Lord's Mansion.
City Lord's Mansion is undoubtedly the largest and most magnificent building complex in Red Cliff City. There are many high-walled mansions and buildings, making it like a city within a city.
Zhao Zhenxuan took Wang Chen straight into the center of his mansion, and after dismissing his surroundings, he opened the door to the underground secret vault.
The size of this secret warehouse is similar to that of Old Yao in North Mountain. Everything inside is basically displayed on the shelves, including weapons, equipment, materials, Pills, techniques, etc., but the quality is obviously much lower.
The most eye-catching among them are undoubtedly the two magic weapons, one hammer and one stick.
But the magic weapon that Zhao Zhenxuan regarded as a treasure was not as good as his Overlord Spear and Mountain-Slaying Saber in the eyes of Wang Chen.
"The shield on the fifth square in the second row on the right is good."
Just as Wang Chen was choosing carefully, Old Yao's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
Wang Chen walked over quietly and found the item Nascent Soul True Immortal pointed to.
This is a shield-shaped metal plate the size of a palm, almost two fingers thick, with a black gold color, and countless fine runes engraved on the surface, but it has no aura at all.
"This is Protection magic treasure."
Old Yao's voice contained a hint of schadenfreude. "I don't know which fellow Daoist brought it down."
The person he calls a Daoist friend must be a monk of the same level!
The things are there, but the people are long gone.
Wang Chen immediately pocketed it without even looking at it.
This magic weapon cannot exert much power in the Mist Mountain Realm. Once Haotian Realm is taken back, its value will be high.
It is only natural that he worked so hard to come to this world to gain some benefits for himself.
Immediately afterwards, under the guidance of Old Yao, Wang Chen received two more good things.
These things were left behind by the monks in the lower realm, and the only ones who could bring the items down were the Nascent Soul rank ones. Those that have been preserved to this day must be of the highest quality.
And the natives of this world like Zhao Zhenxuan should be aware of their extraordinaryness, but they don't understand the origin and purpose of these items, so they can only put them in the secret vault to collect dust.
Over time, I forgot about it.
Now being dug out and taken away by Wang Chen, Zhao Zhenxuan's eyes flashed thoughtfully on the side.
He doesn't even want magic weapons, but wants these useless foreign objects. If he wants to say that there is nothing special about it, then he is too stupid!
But Zhao Zhenxuan has no intention of going back on his words.
"Okay."
Wang Chen went through the opponent's secret library and felt quite satisfied.
The next step is to work hard.
"City Lord Zhao, please give me all the information related to this group of bandits."
Wang Chen said, "I will bring their heads back within three days!"
