Chapter 21: Lingering Souls

The first time Zhang Tie saw Eskiel City, he thought of Karur. As the only city in the ice and snow wasteland, Eskiel can be regarded as a majestic city. Eskil City is also a huge city built on the hillside. Standing on the pier, what Zhang Tie saw was a tall gray city wall shrouded in drizzle in the distance, and a unique breath of ice and snow on the wasteland. The savage atmosphere rushed over. Eskil City gave Zhang Tie the feeling that apart from being big, there was only a roughness that revealed a hard temperament. The pioneers who disembarked from the Aurora have left the pier quickly one by one. The business of taxis and animal carts on the pier is extremely hot. There are also several high-end black cars parked at the deck ladder. A few well-known people who came down from the No. 1 VIP area got into the black car as soon as they arrived at the pier, and the black car got into the rain with a slight shake. Zhang Tie looked at the car in which the Xingyue Sword Saint Samaranch was leaving, and squinted his eyes slightly. Could it be that the fragments of the Star of God really appeared underground in the cracks of the Hydra Glacier in the southern part of the Ice and Snow Wasteland? People like Samaranch have traveled thousands of miles to come to the ice and snow wasteland at this time? The purpose of Samaranch's visit to the Ice and Snow Wasteland this time has been spread all over the board of the Aurora in the past few days. Everyone firmly believes that Samaranch came for the fragments of the Star of God, and Samaranch himself There is no denying it, which is intriguing. The cold hair on Zhang Tie's neck felt the disturbance of the airflow behind him, and he heard familiar footsteps in his ears. So Zhang Tie didn't dodge, but stood where he was. Let that hand pat on his shoulder. "Peter, how are you? Do you want to go with us?" Sam and Gerry came out from behind Zhang Tie, each carrying a tall pioneer bag and wearing a waterproof cape. "Are you going to the Hydra Glacier crevasse?" Zhang Tie asked them. "Of course, didn't the pioneers who came here this time go for the ruins and the fragments of the Star of God?" Sam said naturally. "The fragments of the Star of God probably don't belong to us, but if there are really relics, we might be able to grab some of the things in the relics!" Gree added. "I want to try my luck in other places. Now my goal is to improve my strength as much as possible! The cracks in the Hydra Glacier are too lively now, and I probably won't get much if I go there." Zhang Tie said with a smile, At this moment, he was already the target of Magic Snake Island, and Zhang Tie didn't want to bring that unknown danger to his two new friends. Moreover, he did not come to the Ice and Snow Wasteland this time for the ruins and the fragments of the Star of God, although the latter two things are indeed very attractive, especially the fragments of the Star of God, which are said to have many miraculous effects. But Zhang Tie knew his ability and abilities. He knew that even if there were fragments of the Star of God, he would never have his own. Just look at Samaranch to know, and people of this level To fight for things, I really don't know how to write dead words. Samaranch can come. Then other strong men who are about the same level as him may also come, so why should a small shrimp like myself join in the fun. It is only decent to collect Qiliguo honestly, people cannot always live by luck. "Okay, let's meet again if we have a chance. Let's go to the crevasse of the Hydra Glacier first. If the things there are over and we want to leave there, we will return to Eskil City. Stay here for a long time Time, Sam and I plan to go to other places after Ice and Snow Wasteland has been promoted to level six this time. There are several entrances to the underground world in the Ice and Snow Wasteland.

It is also convenient to gather fighting energy! If you want to find us in the future, you can go to the Pioneer Bar in Eskil City and ask someone! "Then I wish you two good luck. By the way, let's give you something when we are parting!" "As Zhang Tie said, he took out two full-effect potions from his medicine bag, and handed them to Sam and Gerry. Anyway, more and more full-effect potions have flowed out now, Zhang Tie He wasn't afraid of revealing his identity by sending out two potions." What kind of potion is this? "Sam and Gerry each took one, and looked at it curiously. "These are some full-effect potions that someone gave me!" "" Full potion? The faces of the two young pioneers were full of doubts. Looking at the expressions of these two people, Zhang Tie knew that the two of them had never heard of the whole potion. For most pioneers, The new potion of the full potion is still far away from their lives, and it is estimated that they will have to wait at least a few months before they know what the potion is. "This potion can be used as a primary antidote." , If you are injured or need to replenish your strength, or even encounter some minor problems such as colds and coughs, you can also use it! "Hehe, it sounds good, and the packaging of this potion is not bad, thank you!" "The two put away the potion, and seemed a little skeptical of what Zhang Tie said. They felt that what Zhang Tie said might be a bit exaggerated, but Zhang Tie was also kind, so the two of them expressed their gratitude to Zhang Tie. The three of them So farewell at the pier, Yile is still tossing the goods he brought this time on the ship, and it is estimated that they will not be able to get off in a while. Zhang Tie has already greeted him when he got off the ship just now, so there is no need to wait at this time. Most of the pioneers found a car directly near the pier after leaving the pier, and left in the car without waiting. On the map, the Hydra glacier crack is in the south of the ice and snow wasteland, and the relative position is in Ai In the wilderness 2,000 kilometers northwest of the city of Eskiel, about 300 kilometers west of the city of Eskiel, there is a small town called Shata, which is within the reach of all wheeled vehicles in the city of Eskiel. The farthest place that can be reached. All the pioneers who want to go to the cracks of the Hydra Glacier to make a fortune, the first destination they choose after arriving in the ice and snow wasteland is Shata. After arriving there, everyone will show their skills to go to Cracks in the Hydra Glacier. It’s up to fate if it’s life or death. The distance of 300 kilometers, if all goes well, the pioneers will take the transportation to Shata in the morning, and they will be able to spend the night in Shata in the evening, so everyone Not wanting to waste time, Zhang Tie watched with his own eyes that Sam, Gerry, and more than a dozen pioneers got into a semi-new truck driven by a truck driver after haggling with a truck driver, and then a truck The people disappeared in the rain. Not long after Sam and Gerry left, the rain suddenly became heavier, and the rain was blown directly into Zhang Tie's neck by the wind, making Zhang Tie shiver. Zhang Tie saw Looking at the tall city wall of Eskil City in the distance, I tightened my waterproof cloak, and then left the dock area...

Five minutes later, Zhang Tie lined up at the south gate of Eskil City. Follow the team that wants to enter the city to accept the interrogation, and then pay the entry fee. Although it was raining heavily at this time, it was pouring like heavy rain, exposing the teams queuing to enter the city at the gate of the city to the baptism of the heavy rain, but the people in the queuing team were very disciplined. Honestly line up. No one is messing around. The reason was that the two teams of heavily armed and majestic soldiers at the gate of Eskiel City, both of which were more than 2.2 meters tall, made everyone who wanted to mess around couldn't help but shudder. The soldiers of the two teams wore strangely shaped bear-head helmets made of steel, which looked extremely intimidating. In front of Zhang Tie was a tall warrior, and that warrior was actually carrying a leather spear pouch. The spear pouch contained six metal flying spears. The two groups of soldiers guarding the gate of the city seemed to pay special attention to the man carrying the spear bag. Zhang Tie found that since this guy first started queuing. The eyes of many of the two groups of soldiers at the gate of the city, intentionally or unintentionally, fell on the warrior carrying the spear pouch. This made the soldier a little nervous, and checked himself several times from head to toe to see if there was anything wrong. Compared to the attention this warrior with the spear bag received, Zhang Tie couldn't help but frowned slightly when he thought of himself. Zhang Tie, who had just left the Aurora, found that he was being watched. The person who was watching him followed him out of the port, and now he was among the crowd behind him, but he never took his eyes off him. Zhang Tie, who was queuing up at one side, gently rubbed the ordinary ring on his left ring finger with his right hand. If it wasn't for this ring, he might not have noticed the fact that he was being watched as soon as he stepped off the boat. The ring was a gift from Olina when he left St. Hena Island. It was a very rare piece of rune equipment called the "Ring of Awareness". There are two rune effects attached to the Ring of Awareness. One rune effect is to increase the perception of Zhang Tie's five sense organs by 8%, and the other rune effect is a visual trigger. If you concentrate for more than 20 seconds and the thoughts in your heart are not so friendly, this ring will remind Zhang Tie. 20 seconds is a limit value, whether it is a stranger or a friend, very few people will stare at a person behind a person for more than 20 seconds, and people's eyesight is a medium that can spread a message carrying The special spiritual energy of personal emotions and psychological activities, the visual triggering ability of this ring, seems to be able to accept and perceive the energy that others bet on a person through their own eyes, so as to remind the people who are watching to know. This effect on the ring is very rare, it simply adds an invisible protective umbrella. With this effect alone, Zhang Tie knew that the rune ring Olina gave him must be very precious.

This kind of rune equipment that can directly give the wearer some strange abilities has always been a relatively rare item, even in the auction house, it is rare. When leaving the pier, Zhang Tie's fingers wearing the Ring of Awareness numb slightly, and Zhang Tie knew that he was being watched by someone. Hiding it by himself, if it wasn't for this ring, Zhang Tie really didn't find out about it. After being reminded by the ring, Zhang Tie ran all the way and found the guy staring at him when he came to the gate of the city. There was a sneer at the corner of Zhang Tie's mouth. An unknown little person like himself was followed by people as soon as he came to the ice and snow wasteland. Besides the people from Magic Snake Island, would there be anyone else? A power like that of Magic Snake Island. In such an important place like the ice and snow wasteland, it is normal to have a few manpower and intelligence points. The news that I came here on the Aurora must have been known by the people of Snake Island through remote communication. It is not very difficult to find a person who matches my appearance among the passengers who disembarked from the Aurora Things... these offal! When it was his turn to interrogate the soldier with the spear bag, a man who looked like the leader of the two groups of soldiers came over in person and took a good look at the man. "Is this the first time you have come to the Ice and Snow Wasteland?" The person who asked the question looked very oppressive, but his voice was still gentle, or too gentle. It doesn't match his overall temperament. In Zhang Tie's view, such a guy should usually roar when speaking. "Yes!" replied the soldier. "What are you here for?" "I heard that beast hordes broke out in some places in the ice and snow wasteland. I'm here to hone my combat skills and earn some money along the way!" "Well, then go in, and you don't need to pay the city fee!" The man stared at the man carefully. Then he waved his hand.

This made the soldier with the spear pouch stunned, wondering if he should put the entry fee of a silver coin in the box in front of him, "You said... I don't need to pay the entry fee?" "That's right, all warriors using flying spears will not have to pay the entry fee when they enter Eskil City in the future. This is a rule that Eskiel City only made a few days ago!" The warrior with the spear bag laughed Get up, wherever you go. It always makes me feel happy to receive preferential treatment, "Thank you!" "If you are confident in your flying spear throwing skills, you can go to the Ural Lake to participate in the Falconry Conference held on the ice and snow wasteland in a few days. The winner of this year's Falconry Conference Those who choose will get a set of rune flying spears made of star iron!" When the warrior carrying the spear bag was about to leave. The man who looked like a leader who asked him something suddenly said something. This sentence made the soldier who had already walked a few steps turn around again, his eyes widened. Swallowing hard, "What did you say, a rune flying spear made of star iron, and it's a set?" "Yes." "Can anyone participate?" "Yes, anyone, regardless of age And race, as long as you have the ability, you can go, and I heard that the winner may be favored by the saintesses in several tribes in the ice and snow wasteland!" Even Zhang Tie could hear the latter words, it was already obvious It was instigated, but the person who listened took two heavy breaths, then nodded heavily, and then left with a spear on his back, as if he had already firmly remembered these words in his heart. The rune flying spear made of star iron, and it is a complete set, and the favor of the tribal saintess, the allure of this man is not ordinary, whether he likes money, likes women, or likes the limelight or likes God A man with sharp weapons, as long as he hears such news, it is estimated that no one can resist such a temptation. Even Zhang Tie's heart was moved when he heard such words, thinking whether he should join in the fun, and experience the abilities of those masters of flying spears by the way.

Oh, by the way, according to that person's tone, the special treatment for warriors using flying spears only started a few days ago. What is the reason for this? The recent ice and snow wasteland seems to be a bit lively. Although he thought about it in his heart, it was impossible for Zhang Tie to think that such an inexplicable thing might be related to himself. When it was Zhang Tie's turn, the leader-like man who had just interrogated the soldier frowned slightly and looked at Zhang Tie. Whether it was Zhang Tie's handsome face or his pioneer attire, that person didn't like him very much. "Are you a pioneer?" "Yes!" "Then you need to pay four silver coins to enter the city!" the leader said in a cold voice. "Ah, why is it two for others, and some for free, how come I have four silver coins?" Zhang Tie exclaimed a little unconvinced. "The pioneers are all people who want to come to the ice and snow wasteland to make a fortune. They all want to take something from here, but don't want to contribute anything. There is no such cheap thing in this world, so the entry fee for the pioneers is doubled!" Impatiently waved. The tall and powerful fighters around also looked at Zhang Tie with unkind eyes, as if as long as Zhang Tie dared to jump up, they didn't mind giving Zhang Tie a hard time here. Without saying a word, Zhang Tie took out four silver coins and threw them into the box, then rushed into the city of Eskil without looking back. When leaving the gate of the city. Zhang Tie also heard someone mutter behind him, "What's wrong with learning at a young age. Why don't you just want to be a pioneer and wait for gold coins to drop from the sky, hum!" If there is a smell of carrion, they will go wherever they smell, and if there is any trouble, they will run away. I think I should advise the adults that pioneers should be prohibited from entering Eskil City in the future. These guys are useless at all!" "Wrong. The maps drawn by these guys are still useful, and there are still many uninhabited areas on the ice and snow wasteland that need to be explored by these guys, so these guys are not useless!" "If it weren't for this, I don't think a pioneer should be allowed to set foot Ice and snow wasteland..." "This is something adults worry about!" Zhang Tie ran up, as if looking for a place to shelter from the rain, and immediately left those discussions behind him. After 50 meters away from the gate of the city, . Through his peripheral vision, Zhang Tie saw a figure and hurriedly followed him into the city. Zhang Tie's eyes turned cold, and he saw a remote alley not far in front of him. Because it was raining, there were hardly any people in the alley, so Zhang Tie got into it at once... In less than half a minute . A figure also came here, and without hesitation for half a second, he also got in right away... Rain, heavy, weather. Also gloomy up! The rainwater flowing down from the roofs and eaves of the buildings next to the alley formed two tall and fine waterfalls on both sides of the alley, and the ground of the entire alley was covered with half-finger-high stagnant water. Zhang Tie seems to be hiding from the rain

Standing close to the wall of an eave at a corner of the alley, squinting, watching the water curtain rushing down from his head. There was a flash of lightning in the sky, and the whole earth turned white instantly. A few seconds later, there was a rumbling sound, and there was a muffled sound of rolling thunder in the sky. It was heard, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed across the corner and turned around... As soon as the man turned around, he saw Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie also looked at him and smiled. As soon as the man's face changed, Zhang Tie made a move. ... The water droplets splashed, and Zhang Tie moved like a thunder... That person's hand was not bad, but it was just not bad. It is estimated that the level is around six. This kind of strength is not enough for Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie's movements were fast, sharp and swift. In less than two seconds, the man let out a muffled snort, and Zhang Tie grabbed the man's neck. Slammed the man's entire back against a stone wall next to the alley. The man's feet were off the ground, and when Zhang Tie hit the wall, he couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood. The blood that spewed out fell into the stagnant water on the ground, and was quickly diluted by the rushing water. , flowing in circles into the drainage system. The rolling thunder that sounded in the sky just ended its final aftertaste at this time... "No... don't kill me, I... will give you all the money I have on me!" Before Zhang Tie could speak, the one caught by Zhang Tie The guy with his neck against the wall spoke, his tone full of panic, just like an ordinary person meeting a robber. Zhang Tie smiled, this guy is quite smart, at this moment, he should clear himself of the suspicion and relax himself as soon as he opens his mouth. "Apart from you, is there anyone else in Eskiel City on Snake Island?" Zhang Tie asked directly. "I... I don't know what you're talking about?" The man's expression was quite blank, but Zhang Tie, who had been staring at him, saw the look in this guy's eyes when he said the three words "Magic Snake Island". The pupils contracted involuntarily. People's mouths can lie, but their eyes can't. This is the knowledge that Tang De taught Zhang Tie. If this guy has nothing to do with Magic Snake Island, then when he suddenly said the word Magic Snake Island, what is in this guy's eyes? The pupils either didn’t respond, or they would get bigger. The pupils didn’t respond or get bigger. It means that this guy either hasn’t heard of Snake Island at all, or he’s at a loss as to why he asked this question, and the pupils shrink, that’s It shows that this guy is extremely nervous, and the three words "Magic Snake Island" have hit his point. "For the last time, I don't have time to waste with you. Who is the person sent by Magic Snake Island to hunt me down? Tell me everything you know, and I will spare your life, and then you can leave Eskiel City by yourself to escape , don’t worry about the people of Magic Snake Island’s revenge on you...” Zhang Tie’s voice was Gujing Wubo’s calm.
