Chapter 33: Dan Yang City

  The southern border of Duanmu Continent was swept by a knife-like cold wind, and some dust was blown up.

  On a five or six zhang wide dirt road, there were several faint human silhouettes. Upon closer inspection, a sturdy young man with a robust build was seen wearing a thick white fur coat and a felt hat, carrying an enormous bundle on his back. His hand grasped a long black club that seemed to be stained with blood. A pair of bright, spirited eyes gazed into the distance ahead.

  By her side, a slender girl, also wearing a white fur coat, with a green long whip wrapped around her waist. She was holding hands with a lovely little girl with bright eyes and white teeth, but unfortunately, the little girl had a ferocious scar on her face.

  In the sky.

  The Azure Swallow and the Storm Eagle are flying high up in the air.

  "Xiao Juan, what are you smiling at?" Teng Qing Shan looked over at Li Juan.

  "Boss Deng, now that you've shaved off your beard, you look ten years younger than when we were at sea." Li Juan covered her mouth and giggled. "If you had shaved it off earlier, Xiao Ping wouldn't have called you 'Uncle' either." Little Ping next to them also tittered, but didn't dare say more.

  Teng Qing Shan rubbed his chin.

  Since arriving at Duanmu Continent, Teng Qing Shan had shaved off all the beard he had grown over a year and even wore leather boots and thick leather jacket. After all, according to Teng Qing Shan's estimation, he would have to stay on this continent for at least several years. He couldn't be as sloppy as when he was in seclusion.

  "We've been walking on this road for a while now, and we haven't seen anyone." Li Kun said somewhat anxiously.

  "Hmm." Teng Qing Shan furrowed his brow, "We need to figure out where we are in the Southern Mountain Domain of Duanmu Continent!" Teng Qing Shan had randomly landed on a desolate and uninhabited coastline, with no idea which territory he was standing on.

  If you don't know your own position, then you naturally won't know how to get to Mt. Kunlun.

  "Shasha~~~"

  The cold wind blew, and the hardy wild grass beside the desolate road lowered its head. Teng Qing Shan's eyes swept across a nearby hill covered with weeds, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Xiao Juan, what exactly is this place beneath our feet? We'll know soon!"

  Li Jun was slightly taken aback, while Xiao Ping beside him looked at Teng Qing Shan with suspicion.

  "Aaaaah~~" a sudden excited howl rang out.

  "Rumble, rumble~~~" The dense sound of hooves trampling the ground echoed, accompanied by a series of beastly roars. Dozens of burly men wearing animal hides and riding four-legged beasts, some holding large choppers or axes, suddenly swept onto the road like a gust of wind, surrounding Teng Qing Shan and his companions tightly.

  There were still many barbarians without mounts who ran swiftly and also rushed over.

  "What kind of beast is this?" Teng Qing Shan and Li Kun both fixed their gaze on the mounts of the rough men.

  These mounts have four hooves, with well-developed body hair and two curved hard horns on their forehead. Similar to cow horns, the facial features of this beast are similar to those of a lion, with white air spraying from its nostrils. In terms of physique, these mounts are clearly more robust than the warhorses of the Nine States Continent.

  Facing nearly a hundred people surrounding them, Teng Qing Shan and Li Kun both stared at that mount in astonishment.

  "Xiao Ping, what is this beast?" Teng Qing Shan asked.

  "This is a camel." Xiaoping said matter-of-factly, "There are many camels here, they should be seen everywhere in the city. However, these are ordinary camels, some are of higher quality and more precious. They don't have curved horns like this one, but sharp, straight horns that resemble spearheads, with only one horn! Their bodies are also stronger, single-horned camels, also called 'Qilin', are very fierce."

  Teng Qing Shan understood.

  Duanmu Continent and Jiuzhou Great Land are too far away, this camel beast is the mainstream mount of Duanmu Continent. 'Xie' is a very high-grade camel beast.

  "Duanmu Continent is much colder than Jiuzhou! This is still the southernmost part, according to Xiao Ping's words, the 'North Frost Domain' on the map in the north is even colder. It's so cold that this kind of camel beast with developed fur is indeed suitable for survival." Teng Qing Shan also understood in his heart.

  The leader of the three strong robbers around Teng Qing Mountain, a lean man with scars on his face, first glanced at Xiaoping, as if he also noticed the scar on Xiaoping's face.

  "Halt! You three, quickly leave your things behind and we'll spare your lives!" the lean man bellowed.

  "Robbery?"

  Hong Qingshan burst out laughing, his laughter thundering across the sky, "You rob me?"

  The nearly hundred tall and sturdy men surrounding the three heard this laughter, their faces changing color. It was clear that the person in front of them was a formidable expert. "Oh, it seems you're a wandering knight. However, we have over a hundred men, while you're alone with two burdens! Quickly leave your goods behind, hurry!" The thin man's face turned slightly green, "Otherwise, kill the men and abduct the women, be sensible about it!"

  Although Li Jun's appearance made these people jealous, however... Teng Qing Shan's strength also made the robbers unable to judge accurately.

  They realized that this bone was hard to chew and they didn't want to fight either.

  It's not worth it if more than half of the votes are invalid or lead to casualties.

  "Haha!" Teng Qing Shan burst out laughing loudly, carrying that enormous package on his back, his body seemed to move instantly.

  Sigh——

  Leaving behind a faint shadow, Teng Qing Shan himself had already arrived beside a camel knight. The camel knight was shocked and let out a loud cry, even the camel he was riding on immediately let out an angry roar: "Ahh~~" But Teng Qing Shan directly slapped his palm onto the camel's body.

  Accompanied by the camel's roar, the camel seemed to be a meteorite that flew up and smashed towards the place where the leader of the bandits was.

  "Get out of the way!"

  The bandit leader shouted loudly, and some of the strong thieves who were originally standing behind the leader dodged in terror. Fortunately, the camel was just that big, and it didn't hit anyone.

  Hong Qingshan smiled as he watched the camel beast fall down and softly said: "Explode!"

  "Boom!"

  The long-dead camel suddenly burst open, its shattered bones and flesh flying out in all directions like hidden weapons, striking several nearby bandits who had been closing in. The bandits who were hit let out cries of pain as they clutched at their legs or the wounds on their bodies.

  Several others were also unlucky and were shot in vital parts, dying instantly.

  Stuck!

  Originally, Teng Qing Shan was seen flying a camel beast, the furious Mongols. Seeing this scene in front of them, they were all terrified. Nearly a hundred people looked at Teng Qing Shan with fear, and those who were wounded on the ground, covering their wounds, also had terror in their eyes as they looked at Teng Qing Shan.

  One regret after another, how did I offend this jinx?

  "How did such a formidable expert pop up out of nowhere, not even a camel in sight. Are you kidding me?" The leader, a lean and bitter-looking man, if he saw some strong riders on war rhinos, they wouldn't dare to rob them.

  "My brothers have eyes but no eyeballs." The thin man bowed repeatedly, "We'll leave now, we'll leave now."

  "Did I let you leave?"

  As soon as Teng Qing Shan spoke, the robbers' faces turned pale and they all looked at their leader. The robbers were all seasoned fighters who had tasted blood on their blades and wouldn't wait to be slaughtered. "What's your order, sir?" the lean man asked respectfully, but in his heart he was seething with anger: "Damn it, if this guy goes too far, humph, a big head is just like a big bowl, I'll fight him to the death!"

  In front of Teng Qing Shan, this group of ruffians seemed like little lambs.

  "Leave two camels behind and also leave some money."

  "Heng Qing Shan instructed, 'Also, I have a few questions for you.'"

  "Please speak, sir." The thin man let out a sigh of relief.

  "What is the nearest city and how do I get there? How far is it?" asked Teng Qing Shan.

  Although the thin Han man was puzzled, he still replied: "Sir, the nearest city is Dan Yang City of the Fang family. It's about 50 miles away from here! Sir, follow this road and walk forward, you'll arrive at Dan Yang City."

  "Alright, go ahead." Teng Qing Shan nodded and said.

  "Yes, yes."

  The lean Han man waved his hand, and the robbers retreated extremely quickly, carrying their wounded and disappearing rapidly from view in the misty mountains. Only two camels were left behind, along with some scattered silver coins and black large coins.

  "We brought all gold, some silver pieces, loose big coins, and also useful ones." Teng Qingshan immediately handed over these silver pieces and big coins to Li Kun.

  After all, there are enough things on Teng Qing's back.

  "Xiao Jin, the map." Teng Qing Shan said.

  "Here." Li Kun immediately took out a map from his own package and handed it over.

  Hong Qing Mountain unfolded the map on the ground, took a closer look: "Dan Yang City is here, we should be on this road! We are not far from Shen Fu Mountain." Looking at the map, it was clear at a glance.

  "Xiao Jin, you and Xiao Ping ride the camel, we set off, hurry to Dan Yang City." Teng Qing Shan smiled and handed over the map again. Li Jin packed up her things and rode a camel with Xiao Ping. But Teng Qing Shan found out in dismay... that this ordinary camel couldn't carry his large package at all.

  "Heng big brother, there are over 10,000 catties of gold in this box, how can the camel move?" Li Kun burst out laughing.

  "The Blue Luan can easily carry me away, but it refuses to." Teng Qing Shan looked up towards the horizon.

  In the vast sky, two small dots can be faintly seen, which are the Wind Eagle and the Azure Swallow.

  "Let's go, I can walk as fast as a camel." Teng Qing Shan shouldered his bundle and paid no more attention to the other camel.

  There is a box of gold weighing over 10,000 kilograms inside the package. If it weren't for the internal family's powerful strength to eliminate pressure, every step would create a pit on the ground! However, relying on the internal family's powerful strength to disperse the pressure across the entire ground was very easy.

  Of course——

  There were actually three boxes of gold, but the problem was that it was impossible to carry them. Teng Qing Shan could resist, but... one person resisting three large boxes, wherever they went would become a focal point for everyone's attention. So Teng Qing Shan only carried one on his back. The other two boxes and the entire tung wood boat were buried by Teng Qing Shan in the desolate coastal soil.

  The tung wood boat was brought ashore, but it took the combined efforts of Tan Qing Shan and Qing Luan, two monsters with strange powers.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Li Kun and Xiao Ping rode the camel beast, galloping forward. Teng Qing Shan carried a bundle of ten thousand catties, hurrying along with them. Meanwhile, in the high sky, the Azure Luan and the Fierce Wind Eagle flew effortlessly.
