News from Shannan Town

Anping Town, about a hundred miles in the direction of Shannan Town Southwestern Branch, is far less prosperous than Shannan Town and Tongda Town. This town has only a population of more than 2,000. Although it is not lively enough, it is a quiet and peaceful town as its name suggests.

After a night of running around, everyone was tired and hungry, so they could only deal with it in Roadside Inn at the entrance of the town.

This kind of place can be regarded as a low-end version of an inn. The conditions are simple and there are almost no single rooms Guest Room. They are all big beds made of long wooden boards. More than twenty people can lie on a single wooden board. Everyone sleeps in the same clothes, and there is no distinction between men and women...

Normally, most of the traders and lackeys who go out to do business will choose this kind of place. When they are away from home, they keep everything simple and save money first. Places like inns are the kind of places that only rich businessmen can afford to stay.

When the students came for internships, the school had prepared sufficient funds, so the conditions were not so difficult, but because all their luggage was lost with the carriage, they only had some personal expenses, which were not enough to stay in an inn...

The students were tired and hungry, but they were not that picky. Because there were so many people, they temporarily separated into two large rooms. There were twenty or thirty people in one room and fell asleep.

Energy mainly depends on Root Bone's strength. Although the students who come to the internship are all selected good talents, Innate Potential is basically less than 1.5 times, and Acquired Potential is five, seven or eight times that of ordinary people. Yesterday, I was busy during the day and couldn't rest at night. Although I had the energy to support me, the fatigue was real.

As for Tie Jingang, he didn't have time to sleep. After settling the students, he hired a carrier pigeon at the inn in the town and sent a letter to Tongda Town.

[Martial World] The carrier pigeons in the world are not the same as Main World. They are smaller but fly faster. After training, each carrier pigeon can master a fixed delivery route and can travel back and forth between two places. Anping Town has Many carrier pigeons flying to Tongda Town can be delivered within less than a day. However, because the carrier pigeons have limited load capacity, they can only carry small notes. Tie Jingang can only highlight the key points of Shannan Town's situation and write it down concisely.

After delivering the letter, he returned to Roadside Inn and found that several students had not gone to rest.

"It doesn't matter to me..." Tie Jingang was about to refuse, but heard Lu Fei say, "Martial Uncle, I advise you to take a rest. Our carriage and luggage are still left over there Shannan Town. I don't know what happened this night. Apart from you, who else has the ability to go back and take a look?"

"This at least shows that Virus Progenitor did not come in this direction." Deng Qian said, "With its speed, it is not impossible to travel thousands of miles a day. Plus, there are infections along the way, so this place should not be spared."

Although these people fought against the virus with him last night, either Root Bone is more than twice as powerful, or Body Refinement Realm's cultivation level is high enough and they belong to the elite of the elite.

Lu Fei glared at him, and Xiao Tian stared back without showing any signs of weakness. "What are you looking at me for? If you want to fight, just tell me, I've wanted to fight you for a long time..."

"We're okay..." Lao Miao Miao leaned against the door frame. "I can still hold on after squinting for a while... Mr. Tie... Martial Uncle, go and have a rest. You consumed the most yesterday."

The guy's mouth opened wide, revealing his white teeth, and his hands surged with energy, and he took on the posture of Mad Dog.

A few people were chatting when they suddenly saw a dusty man carrying a knife running into the car shop in a panic. "Something happened! Shannan Town is gone!"

Tie Jingang dealt with it, yawned and walked out the door. He found that the person on duty had been replaced by Li Xinyu Song Shan and others. These Senior Brother senior sisters were not low in cultivation, and Root Bone was also good. He woke up quickly and took over from the students.

When he woke up, it was already afternoon. Not only him, but many students also woke up. Some were stretching, some were chatting, and they were still worried about their escape last night. There were also many students who went out to use the toilet, such as Luo Jun. This kid even asked stupidly where there was a hut.

"There's not much movement at the moment." Li Xinyu explained, "There were a lot of businessmen coming and going in the store today, but there was basically no news from Shannan Town."

"How is the situation in the town?" Several of them are considered experts. In a small town like this, they are not afraid of ordinary thieves. Tie Jingang's main concern is whether Eternal Virus will spread.

"It will be even more troublesome if we go north..." Tie Jingang frowned. "If we get to Tongda Town, there will be tens of thousands of infected people, and it may even threaten Hundred Rivers Sect... I hope the carrier pigeons will arrive soon..."

"Don't worry, we'll be there for you. It'll be fine." Ling Xin and Lei Tianyang also advised.

"Okay, you can call me anytime if you need anything." Tie Jingang nodded and went back to the house to rest.

"You guys should go take a rest too." Tie Jingang looked at Lei Tianyang, Lu Fei, Ling Xin, Lao Miao Miao and Xiao Tian beside him.

"Uh..." Seeing all this, Tie Jingang couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

"I can go too!" Xiao Tian was eager to try, and there was no trace of fatigue on his face.

"The distance is too far." Qian Dong added, "We can reach more than a hundred miles in one night. It would take an ordinary caravan two or three days to reach it quickly, and the news can't be spread."

But before he could take any further action, a pair of slender arms wrapped around his neck, and a strong naked choke suddenly came!

"Woooooo..." Xiao Tian struggled, but the man behind him was very skilled in techniques and surprisingly strong, and he soon lost consciousness...

"Oh, classmate Xiao, what's wrong with you..." Lao Miao Miao let go of Xiao Tian, with a look that had nothing to do with him. "It seems that you are sleepy, let me take you back to have a rest..." With that, he carried Xiao Tian, who was already foaming at the mouth, into the house...

"This place doesn't matter, just find a secluded wall and pee."

Roadside Inn is a large courtyard as a whole, surrounded by a long Guest Room, and in the middle is a large open space where you can park and tie your horses. There is also a shed and tables and chairs for people to eat and drink. It is very lively with people coming and going.

But this new guy had a very loud voice, and his roar silenced the entire compound. Dozens of people looked at him with confusion in their eyes.

"Shannan Town is gone? What does this mean?" A burly man named Bearded Man stood up. "I just came from there a few days ago, and everything is fine!"

"I don't know either!" The man swallowed. "I started here the day before yesterday and planned to go to the north through the Central Province Mountain Range. I passed by Shannan Town last night and planned to rest, but I saw that the town was empty, there was no one left, and it was still on fire. No one cared about it, and almost half the town was burned down..."

Tie Jingang frowned and immediately leaned forward, wanting to inquire about the news.

"How is it possible?" People around were surprised. "Shannan Town There must be more than 10,000 people. How could it be possible for them to disappear overnight..."

"I don't know either..." The man shook his head. "Then I heard a loud noise from the mountains outside the town, so I braved it and went to take a look. I found a big black monster fighting against a handsome and impressive master!"

It's Virus Progenitor and that Mysterious Expert! Tie Jingang moving forward again.

"Good guy, that monster is over ten feet tall. It has black claws and tentacles all over its body. It is also extremely powerful. It can fly rocks weighing several thousand kilograms with just one swing. It is very ferocious. The master is even more extraordinary. He looks like a ghost. He can also shoot a huge ball of light with a wave of his hand. He fought the monster so hard that the whole mountain was broken."

That's right, that Mysterious Expert has been fighting with light balls, Tie Jingang is even more sure that what this man said is true!

"Hit the ball of light?" The onlookers were surprised, "Which kung fu is this?"

"I don't know him either..." The man spread his hands and said, "But the ball of light was really powerful. It exploded with bangs and bangs, and finally completely turned the monster into ashes!"

Virus Progenitor is dead? The master won?

Tie Jingang felt happy, and then asked, "Are you sure that the black monster is dead?"

The man turned his head, glanced at Tie Jingang, and nodded. "The monster must be dead, not even the scum is left! But when I was about to get close, the expert warned me that the monster was carrying Corpse Poison and was very dangerous, so it was best not to get close... Then, he set a fire, burned it in a circle nearby, and burned the monster's remains to ashes!"

It's also handled very cleanly!

Tie Jingang breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "What happened to that master?"

The man shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know either. While he was setting the fire, he told me that Shannan Town had lost all its survivors and was eaten by this black monster until nothing was left. He advised me not to stay here. After saying that, he flew away in a swish. That Movement Method is quite powerful..."

"Isn't this too ridiculous?" People around him obviously didn't believe it. "A monster ate the whole city? What a big belly it has!"

"Besides, we haven't heard of any masters in the world who shoot light balls..."

"I take it you made it up yourself?"

"Do you believe it or not! Anyway, I told you, if you don't listen, it's none of my business if you encounter monsters again!" The man curled his lips, asked the boss for a bowl of water, and drank it.

The others dispersed, but Tie Jingang came over and said, "Brother, you ran back from Shannan Town this night, but did you go through the official route?"

The man nodded. "Yes."

"Then did you see a few carriages along the way, carrying a lot of goods..."

The man recalled, "I actually saw it. It was south of Shannan Town, heading south along the official road."

"The carriage moves by itself?" Tie Jingang raised his eyebrows.

"No, there are a few people rushing... The tall one, holding Exotic Weapons, looks like a bandit nearby..."

"When and where did you see it?" Tie Jingang asked.

"It's almost dawn..." the man recalled, "And the leader among them looks familiar to me. He always moves around the Anping Town area. I guess they are coming in this direction now, driving the carriage slowly. They are probably still on the official road..."

Tie Jingang's eyes lit up. He originally just wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect to get the exact news!

"Thank you so much, brother!" Tie Jingang bowed his hand and immediately returned to Guest Room. After a while, most of the students also woke up. He called to Ling Xin, Lu Fei and others. "Our luggage may be back!"

The man who brought the news finished drinking the water, glanced this way from a distance, smiled slightly, and turned away.

Not long after, Guest Room, Luo Jun came back with his pants in hand, and saw that the expression between his eyebrows was lively, not as if he had just woken up, and he no longer had the sluggish feeling from last night...
