Chapter 2: Orcs and Alien Beasts (Asking for Monthly Passes and Recommended Tickets)
The sky was slightly bright, a piece of sunlight shone at the entrance of the cave, and Yumu did not sleep all night but did not feel tired.
After running the exercises all night, although I didn't feel how much growth my true qi was, I was in good spirits and felt refreshed.
The old man has some books about martial arts, and people with martial physique can feel the true qi the first time they run the exercises, but as mentioned in the book, the true qi they feel when they run the exercises cross-legged should faintly flash in one part of the body, and it is not like the trace of true qi that they feel will continue to swim in the body.
When the old man first told himself about the exercises, he did say that although this set of exercises was plain, the origin was by no means simple, and it might really be different from ordinary exercises.
Gathering his mind and standing up, Yumu walked out of the cave, stretched his waist, and prepared to continue his journey.
"Roarβ"
There was a miserable beast cry in the distance, although Yu Mu had just begun to practice the exercises, but the daily body forging made his five senses different from ordinary people, and he was very keen.
Listening closely, he noticed that there seemed to be some passer-by voices mixed with the beast's cry.
Except for the old man, Yumu had never seen anyone else, and without thinking about it, he flew away in the direction of the sound.
When he got close to the source of the sound, Yu Mu hid behind a boulder and tilted his body to look out.
In front of him, a group of warriors wearing armor and animal skins surrounded a middle-aged man covered in blood, but no one dared to step forward.
There was also a young and beautiful girl in this group of warriors, and the others seemed to have a lot of respect for her, and two of them stood diagonally in front of her, thinking that they should be bodyguards.
I don't know if it's the reason why I saw a woman for the first time, Yu Mu felt that this girl was indescribably comfortable in his eyes.
"Roarβ"
The scene in front of him, what surprised Yu Mu was not the group of warriors, but the middle-aged man who was surrounded, not to mention, his hands and feet were thicker than ordinary people, his nails were sharper, and his face was rough like tree bark.
"Fight quickly, kill this orc, and quickly exit the ominous land!"
A bearded strong man in the crowd was the leader of this group of warriors, and he had been deep into the ominous place for a long time, and he spoke to everyone.
As soon as the words fell, everyone was about to put away their previous fear and attack together, when a strange beast flew out of nowhere, and the sound of stepping on the ground was like hitting a stone, and the sound rose and fell around the crowd.
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly flashed aside.
This strange beast Yumu has never seen it, its body is like a giant leopard, its whole body is purple-red, and it has nine tails and a single horn on its face.
Its form is similar to that of the fox, but it is far from what Yu Mu saw in the book, the fox is red all over the book, although it has the appearance of a leopard, but it only has five tails, and the body shape should not be so huge.
The beast ignored the crowd and stepped forward with its claws, striking the orc.
Although the orcs suffered a lot of injuries in the bitter battle, they were not defeated, and they were killed in an instant under the claws of this strange beast.
After finishing the orcs, the strange beast swept its gaze to everyone, glanced at the boulder where Yumu was hiding, and turned away.
As they left, a creepy voice sounded in everyone's heads......
"Re-enter the Ominous Land, die!"
When the strange beast left, the strong man who led the team shouted at the stone where Yumu was hiding: "We are leaving, are you friends behind the stone?"
The strong man looked a little vulgar, and he didn't seem to be afraid of what had just happened.
Of course, Yu Mu knew that the strong man was talking about himself, and there was no danger when he thought about it, so he flew down the boulder.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his feet hit the ground, the strong man's smile was closed, and the fist wind had reached his chest.
This general change, Yu Mu was killed and didn't expect it, his arms subconsciously blocked in front, but the opposite fist wind stopped at this time, Yu Mu was unstable under his feet, and he stumbled and fell against the boulder.
"I passed through this bad place, and when I heard the beast cry, I came to see it. β
Yu Mu came back to his senses and realized that the strong man had no killing intent, but just wanted to test him.
"There are many offenses and many offenses, and when you go out, you are going out, and you are also trying to be careful. The strong man laughed and pulled Yumu up.
"Princess, you see this kid is stupid, let's take him away, or we'll feed the strange beasts in the mountains." β
"Let's go. β
The princess of the dynasty, dressed in animal skin, turned around and left after saying these two words, and the two warriors beside her followed her like a shadow.
The strong man didn't wait for Yu Mu to answer, patted the soil on Yu Mu's back, and beckoned everyone to go on the road together.
It was too peaceful along the way, and although I saw a lot of strange beasts, I didn't fight much.
One day's journey, out of the ominous place, the city in front of me is written with the four big characters of "Qinong Jiapu", the city wall is towering, I think it is built to resist foreign beasts.
On the way, the strong man signaled Yumu not to say too much, and he didn't speak.
After entering the city gate, the strong man changed his words and hugged the princess and the two warriors beside him: "Miss, remember to call me if you have this errand again." β
The princess was very dignified, nodded her head, and left.
Before leaving, I don't know if it's an illusion, Yu Mu feels that she seems to have glanced at herself.
When the three of them walked away, the strong man put a big thick arm on Yu Mu's neck and said, "Don't look at it, go away." By the way, along the way, I didn't say a word, are you about to suffocate to death? If you have anything to ask, just ask, by the way, what is your boy's name?"
"Yumu. β
"Lao Tzu's name is Li Xi, a mercenary group, do you have a place to go, if not, I will take you to the regiment for a walk. β
"Nope. β
"Cherish words like gold, brother, in this way, Lao Tzu will go to the group to find a place for you to rest. β
For Li Xi in front of him, although he didn't feel any malice, Yu Mu didn't let down his guard, and followed Li Xi to the mercenary group, and all kinds of people were crowded in front of the notices on the wall.
"This is the notice wall, and the things with bounties are posted here, but they are all drudgery, like our beauty this time, but you can't find it here. β
Li Xi took a look at the team and dragged Yu Mu into an empty room in the backyard alone.
After Yu Mu sat down, he saw that Li Xi had no smile on his face, and knew that it was time to get down to business.
"I see that you have the physique of a martial artist, but you haven't even entered the martial realm; β
"I've always lived in Weiming Lake. β
Li Xi put away his cold eyes, frowned and said: "That's strange, Weiming Lake is in the depths of an ominous place, few people know that you are from there......"
Yu Mu, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly asked, "Li Xi, can you tell me what's going on with the orcs and the alien beasts?"
Seeing Yu Mu asking, Li Xi was even happier.
"Brother, I thought you really didn't want to ask anything, if you don't ask me, I'll be a stand-up comedy. Li Xi rubbed his nose and continued, "That orc was originally a warrior in the city, I don't know where to get the exercises can be enhanced by sucking foreign beasts, although our team is a mercenary group, but only by the royal family, that girl is the second princess of Qinong Jiapu, and the two guards next to him are the palace guards, we were ordered to kill the orcs together, in fact, it is mainly to hide people's eyes and ears, there is no need for us to make a move, two guards are enough." β
"And then?"
"I didn't want to chase straight to the ominous place, but also because of the princess's presence, the brothers were still more cautious. Li Xi added, "The strange beast that was killed halfway looked like it should be a hideous clan, but it had opened its mind, which is rare, but it is not uncommon to see anything in a place like an ominous place, and it is expected that the strange beast did not entangle it anymore because it was aware of Lao Tzu's strength, and he knew him, otherwise he would be guilty when Lao Tzu did it." β
