Chapter 23: The Journey
Seeing that Qiu Wei was so insistent, the guard didn't dare to say anything more, and then let Zhi Sun and the others leave the city with an unhappy face.
"Alas, I was really scared to death just now, and I thought I would stay there today, but I really didn't expect to get out of the city so easily. Burning Sun looked back at the gate outside the city that was gradually moving away, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Just heard the sound of "pop!", Qiu He shook his hand and slapped the back of the head.
"Bastard boy! I almost got killed by you! Whoever the called you, you were stopped and beaten! Do you know what it means to be calm? "Qiu He was about to be mad by this idiot.
"Ouch, Brother He, spare me," Burning Day was severely repaired by Qiu He again.
"Hmph! Give Lao Tzu more snacks to seniors, otherwise the losses in the future will be in the future. Qiu He taught a lesson, and then said: "By the way, ugly boy, how to go to the Shelter Forest, I have been fooling around the blocks all these years, and I have never been out of any city, let alone the route of the Shelter Shade Forest." ”
Blazing Sun touched his head in confusion and said, "Shelter the Yin Forest?
"You don't even know about the Shelter Forest? Qiu He was surprised, he didn't even know about the Shelter Yin Forest, you must know that the entire Shengxi City relied on the resources in the Shelter Shade Forest to survive.
"I've been locked up for 5 years, how would I know? "Blazing the sun whitened.
Qiu He snorted, snorted coldly, and said: "The Biyin Forest is one of the most dangerous places in Youzhou, and it is also one of the few resource-rich places in the resource-poor cultivation world, if it were not for the resources of the Biyin Forest, Shengxi City would not have developed to such a scale at all, and the Qiu family may only be a small family." ”
As he said, the danger index is one of the best in Youzhou, and there are countless monsters of different levels and sizes, and its most terrifying and violent is a species called the evil beast.
Warriors kill ordinary demon beasts, and sell the bones to obtain a lot of cultivation resources, even if it is just the skin and flesh of the demon beast, its value is immeasurable, many weapons, magic weapons, can be refined with the materials on the demon beast to improve the power, just like a high-level charm, you must use the blood of high-level demon beasts to make it successfully.
Although Shengxi City is growing by relying on the Shelter Forest, it is just one of the most prominent of the many large and small forces that survive on the Shelter Forest, and the main family forces are huge and powerful, even if Shengxi City is far away from the Shelter Forest, it does not have much impact.
No one has dared to settle in the depths of the Shelter Forest, and the most powerful top forces in the surrounding area are only worthy of being stationed in the inner layer, not because they don't want to, but they don't dare, it is said that there are monsters in the depths of the Shelter Forest that surpass the existence of the Truth.
"Hmm... The Shelter Forest should be a good place to cultivate. "The scorching day showed yearning on his face.
Hearing this, the corners of Qiu He's mouth twitched, and he asked a little speechlessly, "Where do you say this?"
"You think, a city as big as Shengxi City relies on the resources in the Shelter Forest to survive, presumably this forest is not full of treasures, but it must be a place with extremely rich resources. ”
"You're right, there are indeed a lot of treasures in that place, but ......" Qiu He's eyes revealed a hint of cunning, "It's true that you have that life to bring back." ”
"It is said that the Sheltering Yin Forest is extremely dangerous, the seventh-layer and eight-layer demon beasts of the Forging Body Realm abound, and there have been demon beasts beyond the Forging Body Realm in the depths, even the elders of the family do not dare to venture into danger alone, it is extremely terrifying. ”
After listening to what Qiu He said, the scorching day couldn't help but shiver as if he was in an ice cave.
Qiu He thought for a while, and then said: "I'm scared, but those are the dangers that only exist in the inner layer, we are going to the outer layer to survive, but I don't know if there is a place like Fang Market that has no ......."
Burning Sun touched his head in embarrassment, and asked a little shyly, "Is the outer layer safe?" It feels a little ......."
Thinking that there are monsters like Qiu Qiang and Qiu Wei everywhere who are terrifying, I can't help but feel numb in my scalp.
"I heard that it is safer, the level of demon beasts and our cultivation are all in the middle of the best, but pay attention to other martial artists, after all, killing and robbing in the wild is also very common. ”
"Oh," the blazing day fell into deep thought.
"Let's hurry up, but you wait for me first. After speaking, Qiu He looked at the front of the team, so he strode forward.
"Tanuki~" he shouted.
It didn't take long for the raccoon dog to walk out slowly with the baby in her arms and ask, "Brother He, what's wrong?"
"I ......" Qiu He was speechless for a while, and after half a sound, he made up his mind and said, "I'm leaving, but I will definitely come to you, take care... Tanuki~" Qiu He stared affectionately and turned away.
"Brother He... I'll wait for you ......" The raccoon dog said goodbye with tears in her eyes moist.
At this time, he was walking slowly at the end of the line, and suddenly saw Qiu He walking towards him from the front, seeing this, he asked with some doubts: "Huh, Brother He, why did you come back so soon, shouldn't you have an affectionate goodbye, I thought you were going to go for a long time." ”
"Okay, hurry up and go, so as not to delay the trip. Qiu He perfunctorily urged.
He was afraid that the pursuers would track him down, and he didn't want to involve the raccoon, at this moment he had already made up his mind to go to the Shelter Forest to become stronger, and after his strength was strong, he would be able to protect his beloved, he was no longer the Qiu He who was only for power.
Two days later.
The two of them were on foot on the way to the Biyin Forest, when they touched their flat stomachs and complained: "I said Brother He, we have been trekking through mountains and rivers for two days, and we haven't eaten anything along the way, and I'm hungry now, so let's stop and find something to eat." ”
Qiu He glanced at him and said, "It's going to get dark soon, if you don't find a suitable place to stay, you want to sleep in the wild!"
"Hehe, anyway, I'm used to sleeping outside, just climb a tree and rest for a night. Blazing Sun grinned, when he was on Qixing Street, he slept on the street for 5 years.
"Hmph, you homeless wild boy is used to sleeping on the streets, I can't do it, Lao Tzu wants to sleep in a comfortable inn, eat the best dishes in the inn, and add a jar of fine aged wine. Qiu He held his mouth, full of dissatisfaction.
He used to be the boss of Qixing Street, where he lived and ate the best, how could he stand to suddenly sleep in the wilderness and eat wild game, and eat a hungry meal like a savage, just thinking about him was uncomfortable.
"I said, Brother He, where did you get the money to live in the most comfortable inn, eat the best food, and drink the best wine? "Burning day is a little speechless, both of them have become such a field, and they still want to eat fragrant and drink spicy food.
"I don't have any money on me, but you have it, you see, when I was in the law enforcement branch, I helped you cover up and get rid of those people, so that you could take the opportunity to steal the storage bag in the warehouse. ”
"What, Brother He, you actually hit my storage bag, no, no, it's only a lot of money in it, and it can't stand your toss at all." "Blazing Daylight.
It turned out that Qiu He paid attention to the storage bag, you must know that there are not many silver yuan stones in the bag, if this is spent lavishly, what will happen in the future, but obviously Qiu He didn't think about how to live in the future.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the eldest brother, I forced Qiu Dai to lift the ban on the mansion, how could it be your turn to pick up the cheap. ”
"Brother He doesn't have much silver taels in this bag, what should I do after three taels are used up, I think it's better to save a little bit and do a little business to live." ”
"Save? We are both martial artists at the fourth or fifth level of the Forging Body Realm, and we are not mortals, save a fart! When we wait for the outer layer to pick up the bounty task casually, there will naturally be a lot of silver taels, hurry up and bring the bag!"
Qiu He started to move as he spoke, and he quickly subdued the scorching day, but the gap between the two was too big, and the distance was very close, and he snatched the storage bag in an instant.
Qiu He put his hand into the storage bag with a smile, and after he touched it for a while, the smile on his face suddenly collapsed, and then he broke open the storage bag with both hands with a suspicious expression.
"Huh?" I saw him take out a piece of silver in his right hand and put it on the ground, and then two pieces of silver, three pieces of silver... A piece of gold finally put all the yuan stones on the ground.
"10 ingots of silver, 4 ingots of gold, 2 yuan stones and 3 quarter yuan stone fragments, how can it be so little!"
Qiu He looked at the dozen pieces of silver and gold yuan stones scattered in front of him, and was very disappointed, and then said to the scorching sun with a tense face in extreme displeasure: "Ugly boy, did you hide the silver taels secretly, hurry up and take them out for the eldest brother." ”
"I'm as heavy as two pockets now, I don't believe you!"
"You must have used it secretly, and I don't believe that the law enforcement branch has such a little property. Qiu He's face was full of unhappiness, he thought that there were hundreds of yuan stones and silver taels in his bag, and it took half a day to do more than a dozen yuan, which was too unacceptable for him.
After pondering for a while, he said, "It can't be... Tribute......"
"Hmm, it's possible, did you really finish it at the time, and didn't miss it?"
"There's just one storage bag in the box, nothing else. Blazing Sun shook his head.
"Hmph! Say it earlier, go around in such a big circle and talk nonsense, see it's getting dark, hurry up for me! Otherwise, you can sleep in the wilderness by yourself, and I'll go first." After speaking, Qiu He quickly put away the silver taels on the ground and quickly rushed away.
"Hey, Brother He, slow down, I don't want to sleep in the wild!" Seeing that Qiu He had slipped away, he also quickly followed.
As the sky darkens and the orange sunset soaks the sky, it is a great pleasure to look up and enjoy the scenery from a high vantage point.
But obviously he didn't have time to enjoy the sunset in the scorching day, Qiu He ran too fast, and even ran to the overgrown and roadless place, his vision was blocked and uncomfortable, he couldn't help shouting: "Brother He, run slowly!"
"You kid run fast for Lao Tzu!" Qiu He's voice came from the front of him, and he gritted his teeth and continued to run.
