Chapter 244 Rock Merchants

The yard of the Chamber of Commerce is not large. There are three spacious and bright main halls in the yard, and the four ear chambers are arranged on both sides. When Yang Jian walked into the Chamber of Commerce, a white-haired old man and a middle-aged man were registering at the counter in the main hall. Generally, when a caravan passes through a city with a chamber of commerce, it will enter the chamber of commerce for registration. Of course, this kind of registration is completely voluntary.

But one thing is that if the caravan in this city is robbed after registration, the Chamber of Commerce will send a master to help you find the robbed items. And if it is not registered, there will be no such treatment. Of course, registration is not free, and you have to pay a certain amount of money. The amount of silver paid varies from city to city.

"Dongji City is just a small projectile city. How can the registration fee be charged so much? It's almost time to catch up with the registration fee of a big city like Zhongtiancheng!" The middle-aged man is eight feet tall, with a thick beard on his face, which looks particularly wild. At this time, he was looking angrily at the president of the Chamber of Commerce standing at the counter. Obviously, the registration fee charged by Dongjincheng was too high, which aroused the dissatisfaction of middle-aged men.

"Deputy Captain Liu, you should understand that your caravan is not taking an ordinary route, but a forest of dead souls outside the city! In the dead soul forest, there are not only monsters rampant, but also bandits, so your caravan is very likely to encounter robbers. In addition, your caravan is going abroad, so we have to charge more. The president of the Chamber of Commerce looks in his forties, slightly fat, with a round belly, and a pair of small eyes shining. At first glance, he is a shrewd person. He is eloquent and reasonable. The more dangerous he is, the more registration fees he pays, and the middle-aged man can't argue.

Seeing this, Yang Jian walked over with a smile in his eyes.

"I don't know how much the registration fee for the caravan is? I'll pay for them." Yang Jian smiled at the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Huh? I don't know who this brother is?" The middle-aged man didn't know Yang Jian, so he couldn't help asking.

"I'm Yang Yan, a group of merchants, who happen to pass through here today." Yang Jian smiled. His dress at this time was exactly the dress of a lone merchant, so the middle-aged man and the white-haired old man did not see anything strange.

"It turned out to be Brother Yang, but why did you pay the registration fee for my caravan?" The middle-aged man held his fist and said doubtfully.

"You two don't know anything, and they want to rush to Tongming City. If you just want to reach Tongming City, you have to go through the dead soul forest outside the city..." Yang Jian shook his head with a wry smile. "I'm not afraid of the two jokes. I'm just a mortal. I don't have the power to bind chickens. I will definitely die when I meet a monster. It's impossible to cross there alone, so I want to cross the dead soul forest with the two caravans. Of course, I don't take the two caravans for free. The registration fee this time is a little bit of my intention. I hope you can accept it.

"So it is, it's easy to say, it's good to say. Brother Yang, please follow our caravan, but the registration fee is not necessary. The middle-aged man laughed. And the white-haired old man flashed a glimmer of light in his eyes and looked up and down at Yang Jian.

When Yang Jian walked into the Chamber of Commerce, he saw the extraordinaryness of the white-haired old man and the middle-aged man. Among them, the white-haired old man's cultivation was exquisite and reached the peak of the spiritual sea realm. The middle-aged man was also a master of the peak of the late secret world!

"No, no, no..." Yang Jian hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm really grateful to be with your caravan. The cost of this registration must be included in my subordinates."

In the end, Yang Jian took out 500 taels of silver and paid the registration fee for the caravan. It's really a lot to pay 500 taels of silver at a time. Ordinary people can't afford it at all. No wonder middle-aged men are dissatisfied.

Coming out of the Chamber of Commerce, Yang Jian talked with the white-haired old man and the middle-aged man all the way, and gradually figured out the details of the caravan.

This caravan is called Panshi caravan, and its headquarters is located in Zhongtian City. The middle-aged man's name is Liu Zhensheng, and he is the deputy captain of the caravan. The white-haired old man's name is Mr. Liu, who is the escort leader of the caravan. As for the captain of the caravan, he is Liu Zhensheng's father. However, this time, the captain of the caravan did not come together because of the injury, but stayed in Zhongtian City to recuperate.

This is not the first time that Liu Zhensheng leads the team and Liu Lao is responsible for the safety of the caravan. Moreover, in the future, the whole caravan will be handed over to Liu Zhensheng, which is also a test for him by the captain of the caravan.

"Where is Brother Yang from?" Mr. Liu asked inadvertently with a faint smile on his face. From beginning to end, Mr. Liu has always been quite wary of Yang Jian. This is also not to blame Mr. Liu. A stranger suddenly wants to join the caravan, which will invisibly bring hidden dangers to the safety of the caravan. In this regard, Mr. Liu had to pay special attention to Yang Jian.

"I live in Qinglong City of Dongmu Empire for a long time." Yang Jian smiled.

"Oh? Qinglong City? That's the capital of the Dongyang Empire. I heard that the big one is one of the few big cities in the world, which is extremely prosperous. Mr. Liu's eyes were shining and he smiled.

"Yes, Qinglong City is guarded by a real dragon, and the whole city exudes vitality. It is one of the rare cities in the world. I don't know if you two have been to Qinglong City? Yang Jian asked as he walked.

"I went there once and left a deep impression." Mr. Liu thought about it.

"I haven't been there. I'm really looking forward to what Brother Yang said." Liu Zhensheng laughed. Liu Zhensheng is cheerful and upright, and Yang Jian still has a good impression on him.

While talking, the three came to the caravan's convoy.

"Brother Yang, you are not the master of the five elements, just sit in the ox cart. There is a long way ahead, and you can't go down. Liu Zhensheng patted the tall cattle-consuming driveway beside him.

Cows are ordinary beasts in the world of the five elements. They are four meters tall and have half a meter of long black hair. The cow consumption is mild in nature and has amazing endurance. It can run for ten days without eating or drinking. It is the main means of transportation in the world of the five elements.

"Thank you very much!" Yang Jian held the boxing.

The Panshi caravan has more than a thousand consuming cars, which are more than 5,000 meters long. Fortunately, there are more than 7,000 people in the caravan, otherwise they really can't take care of them. Among them, there are more than a thousand people in the five elements alone, most of whom are entry masters, and there are more than 100 secret masters.

The caravan walks around the world, and safety comes first. In order to ensure the safety of the caravan, the general caravan will hire a large number of masters to escort. The Panshi caravan is one of the largest caravans in Zhongtian City. You can get tens of thousands of taels of silver for transporting goods. Naturally, there is no shortage of money for hired masters.

30% of the more than 1,000 masters of the five elements in the team were hired with a lot of money, among which the secret master hired more than 30 people.

The caravan slowly drove out of Dongjin City and into the forest of dead souls.

The Dead Soul Forest is the large forest outside the city. This forest has been rampant with monsters since ancient times. In recent years, due to the frequent passage of a large number of caravans, the number of bandits and habitual bandits in the dead soul forest have gradually increased.

The reason why the dead soul forest is called the dead soul forest is that there are too many ghosts in it.

The convoy of the caravan rumbled forward, and the earth trembled, like thousands of troops and horses running together. The guards of the caravan guarded around the convoy with knives, guns and sticks, closely monitoring every move in the forest.

With the more than 1,000 five elements, the total number of guards of the caravan reached 5,000. Almost all the guards were dressed in armor, all of whom were burly and imposing. With so many masters guarding, the rock caravan is worthy of the name of rock!

In the face of such a caravan, ordinary bandits dare not intercept at all. But once it is intercepted, it must be a strong bandit gang.

"There are three big bandits in the Dead Soul Forest, two of which have been bought by us, but the last one can't enter. They will definitely take action on this trip. Tell the brothers to cheer up and pay close attention to the movement around. Liu Zhensheng had a straight face and ordered the messengers beside him.

The messenger then spread Liu Zhensheng's words to the whole team.

Yang Jian sat in the ox cart, allowing the cart to shake. He sat on the futon in the car with his eyes closed.

"To reach Tongming City, you have to go through the Forest of Dead Souls, and then there is still a long way to go. At this rate, I'm afraid it will take a month. Yang Jian said with a wry smile in his heart.

Roar!

At this moment, a tiger roar came from the outside. A tall tiger-shaped monster rushed out of the dense forest around it!

Bang!

Roar!

I only heard the sound of an arrow, followed by a sad scream.
