The sky is high and the clouds are light, and you can see the geese flying south.
The sky-wide light curtain at the edge of River City actually does not look round when viewed up close. Instead, it looks like a straight, translucent high wall, cutting off the sky. The colors of the sky on both sides of the wall are different. The sky outside the light curtain is dim and blurry, with thick dark clouds gathering all year round.
Some people say that it is a terrifying existence in Wasteland Zone. It doesn't like the skylight, so it uses great magic power to gather thick clouds to cover it. The city is protected by formations, so it is not affected by this. Others say that the clouds were jointly arranged by Five Great Immortal Sects in order to reduce the number of plant monsters in Wasteland Zone.
Directly below this section of the light curtain, there is a circular pass that looks like a fortress. There is a passage under the white fortress that connects both sides of the light curtain. On the side near Jiang City, there is a square outside the fortress, forming a business district around it. There are hotels, restaurants, baths, and large shops such as Xianwu Shop around, as well as small stalls such as juice, fried skewers, coffins, and stinky tofu.
The scene is quite lively.
There are four of these exit fortresses like Jiang City, so you have to pay a customs clearance fee of tens of thousands for each time you go out. Yue Wen only found out after reading the messages in the group last night that Wasteland Zone still charges a fee, so he quickly borrowed some from Wang Shoucai.
In fact, the outer city protection formation is not allowed to go out. Even if you don't pay, you can go out at any point on the light screen, but there is no way to come back. If you are lucky, you can also find a temporary gap around the formation to get in - just like those evil spirits who sneak into the city.
But if you can't find it, you have to come back from the fortress gate and pay another customs clearance fee.
Yue Wen was sitting at the door of a coffee shop, not wanting anything to drink, just waiting quietly.
This was the meeting place agreed upon by their group, and he didn't have any spare money, so he had to shamelessly occupy the other person's seat. Fortunately, there were not many customers in the store, and the little clerk girl with a sweet smile just gave him a free glass of lemonade.
The family only has eighty-two yuan left for living expenses. Yesterday, they had to rely on eating from Wang Shoucai to survive. This morning, they still ate the leftovers packed yesterday.
If Yue Wen spends tens of dollars on a cup of coffee here, even the ghosts of Zhao Xing'er and Qi Dian who starve to death will not forgive him.
However, in the past few days since Wasteland Zone was released, Yue Wen had no intention of letting them sit back and have nothing to eat. After all, there weren't that many leftovers to pack.
Zhao Xing'er was supposed to be a temporary worker for an event for the two of them, but Zhao Xing'er suddenly announced that she would be in seclusion for three days.
Yue Wen suspects that she just wants to escape part-time work. She has never seen her practicing before, and she doesn't know if there is any retreat?
But no one dared to question her.
Qi Dian had no choice but to work two jobs at other people's events. While wearing a doll suit and flying around handing out flyers, he was responsible for security while listening to all directions. The money he earned was enough to order many takeaways.
Originally, although practitioners have a lot of expenses, if they don't encounter a breakthrough or buy some valuable immortal objects, it is difficult to be so poor that they can't even eat, and they can earn more than ordinary people by doing anything.
Yue Wen has solemnly promised Qi Dian that such days are only temporary.
After sitting for a while, as the appointed time approached, a middle-aged man who looked a bit older came over and sat on the table next to Yue Wen.
The middle-aged man had a square head, a shaved head, and a lot of white hair in his hair. He was wearing a gray jacket that looked like a mountain climber. After sitting down, he immediately took out his mobile phone.
The little clerk girl immediately came over and reminded, "Uncle, you can't sit here without ordering."
"Ah." The middle-aged man took the menu, frowned again and again, and finally said, "Bring me a glass of lemonade."
"One hundred and eighty yuan, just scan the QR code on the table to pay." The little girl swung her ponytail and walked away.
After the middle-aged man placed his order, he sent another message on his mobile phone.
Yue Wen heard the phone vibrate, and a message immediately popped up in their small group. One person said that he had also arrived.
"Hello?" Yue Wen looked back at the middle-aged man and raised his phone, "Are you going to Autumn Cloud Lake?"
"Ha." The middle-aged man immediately smiled and raised the group chat interface on his phone, "Yes, this is Luo Bawen."
"Yue Wen."
After the two became friendly and exchanged names, Luo Bawen also sat with Yue Wen.
"Little brother, you are still so young and you have the cultivation to conquer Wasteland Zone. You are truly a young hero." Luo Bawen smiled and complimented. "You are also learning from your seniors." Yue Wen replied politely.
"That's not to say, we all support each other." Luo Bawen said, "But I am indeed the old man in our team group. I have basically cooperated with more than 80% of the people in the group. Although my strength is not strong, I have a lot of experience."
Yue Wen knows that this person must be being modest, because being able to make one Wasteland Zone trip is nothing, being able to make Wasteland Zone so many trips and still be safe and sound is impossible without strength.
He was about to ask the other party for advice when another voice came from the other side, "Lao Luo?"
Yue Wen looked over and saw a fat, middle-aged woman walking over. She was also wearing sportswear. She was tall and generous, with an exaggerated body shape. She looked quite festive, with white skin, big eyes, and a bright smile. She was a non-greasy and lovable type Fat Auntie.
Luo Bawen also responded with a smile, "Sister Yu?"
"When I saw the tone of that person's voice in the group, I guessed that it might be you, but I didn't expect it to be true." Luo Bawen laughed. The Fat Auntie was also sitting at their table and waved, "What a coincidence."
After Luo Bawen's introduction, Yue Wen learned that Fat Auntie's nickname is Immortal Fish, and he is also a veteran casual cultivator who has been in Jiang City for 20 years. The two of them have formed a team more than once before. But because everyone in the group is anonymous, they didn't know who it was until they met.
"There are many young people in the group now." Luo Bawen sighed, "In a blink of an eye, we will all become the old guys leading the group."
"You're old, but I'm not." Fat Auntie said with a smile, "I'm still waiting to save enough Phase Realm Cultivation Method money to make a breakthrough in the future. As long as I break through to the Sixth Realm within a hundred years, then I can stay young forever."
"Then I can't compare to you. I can live steadily for another hundred years and support my children and grandchildren. That's enough." Luo Bawen laughed at himself. Yue Wen sat with them, a little embarrassed. Two familiar old casual cultivators were here, and he really had no common topics to participate in. He looked at his phone and saw that the appointed time had arrived.
Turning around to look in the direction of the square, there were indeed two people walking towards them. Yue Wen's brows suddenly frowned.
They are a man and a woman. The woman is wearing a black training suit. She has a tall and well-proportioned figure, a high chest, long hair tied up, a very delicate oval face, round almond eyes, and her black skin makes her skin brighter. She looks like she must be less than thirty years old, and she has a slightly mature charm, like a plump peach.
The man has platinum-blond hair, which is fluffy and layered. He has an average appearance, but is tall and thin.
The reason why Yue Wen frowned was because he saw this man. It was the Xiao Chubai who made trouble in Boat Head Banquet last night and forced Wang Shoucai Flying Sword! He secretly said something bad.
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
It can be seen with the naked eye that Xiao Chubai's expression has tightened, and he is probably silently thinking about the three people in front of him.
It's a pity that the two sides looked at each other, and Luo Bawen asked, "Are you going to Autumn Cloud Lake?"
"Yeah." The beautiful woman opposite nodded.
"Girl, I think I've seen you before." Fat Auntie took the woman's hand since she was familiar with it, "Do you do live broadcasts sometimes?" "Yes, sister." The woman replied, "My name is Dong Mengyao, is a bar owner, and sometimes he also broadcasts live in his store." "Look." Fat Auntie smiled and said, "Our River City's casual cultivator circle is so big, it's easy to meet someone familiar."
Immediately everyone introduced themselves to each other, which was regarded as acquaintances.
Luo Bawen and Immortal Fish have been in the circle all year round. They are also very familiar with things like forming a team to produce Wasteland Zone, and they have become familiar with the young people in just a few words.
Xiao Chubai has gone out to other cities several times before, Yue Wen is the first time to Wasteland Zone, and Dong Mengyao is also the first time.
A team with two veterans and three newcomers is pretty good.
The only thing I had a conflict with was Xiao Chubai last night, which made Yue Wen a little worried. If the other party was harboring resentment, it wouldn't be good for Wasteland Zone to plot against him, especially if the other party came together.
While everyone was sitting around chatting, both of them were silent for a while. Just as everyone stood up and walked out of the gate, Yue Wen came next to Xiao Chubai.
"Brother, I hope you don't mind the offense last night." He took the initiative to whisper, "The situation at that time was not directed at you." "Yeah." Xiao Chubai nodded, with an unnatural expression on his face, paused, and said, "It's okay, just pretend it never happened."
"After entering Wasteland Zone, everyone still has to work together." Yue Wen said.
"This is natural." Xiao Chubai nodded again.
The two sides reached at least a superficial peace, and he also conveyed the goodwill he deserved. Yue Wen said no more to him, and walked up to chat with the two middle-aged men side by side. He would still be more vigilant along the way, and if the other party still made some small moves, he would not hold back.
Dong Mengyao saw that something was wrong, walked up to Xiao Chubai and asked, "What's wrong, do you know each other?"
"We met by chance last night, there was a little friction." Xiao Chubai whispered, "It's not a big deal."
"Did you take action?" Dong Mengyao glanced at the back of Yue Wen's handsome head, and then at Xiao Chubai's mediocre front, "Who won?" "It's not about taking action, it's just a little bit of competition." After saying this, Xiao Chubai pondered for a while, and then continued, "I didn't take advantage, and he didn't suffer either."
Dong Mengyao was stunned for a moment, eh?
He didn't seem to say anything, and he seemed to have already told himself the answer?
Although the square was lively, there were actually not many people leaving the customs at the same time. The group of them bought tickets to exit the customs without queuing, and everyone got a bracelet.
Their identity information is recorded in this bracelet. If they die in Wasteland Zone, even if their bones are incomplete, as long as the bracelet is still there, they will be able to know who they are. In addition, there will be an officially built fortress supply point some distance away in Wasteland Zone. You can only enter with this bracelet. After taking the bracelet, Yue Wen They walked into the passage. There was no light curtain in the blue passage. All the way out, the exit was Wasteland Zone. The passage was about two to three hundred meters long. They listened to the sound of footsteps and towers all the way. They felt a little nervous for no reason. Soon, a strong wind came from ahead! There was a vague smell of wilderness in the wind.
Call
Against this strong wind, they accelerated forward, and when they walked out of the passage, they were suddenly enlightened. A thick and turbid spiritual energy stimulated their nasal cavity, vaguely mixed with the stench of evil spirit.
Yue Wen raised his head and looked at everything in front of him, is this Wasteland Zone...
