Chapter 176: Meet the Snow Guard
"At the end of the forest.
After walking for a long distance, Dongtu Nan vaguely saw that at the edge of the forest, there were several stubborn armor soldiers.
They were all dressed in uniform black armor, and under the reflection of the cold light of the night, they reflected silver rays, which were particularly dazzling.
At the exit of the forest path, there were about a dozen people side by side, divided into two columns, all of them full of spirit, as if they were on full alert.
Whoosh.
Two figures emerged from the jungle.
"Senior Lei, this is ......" Dong Tu Nan looked at the scene a few meters in front of him very curiously, and asked in confusion.
Lei Zhan Ting didn't answer him immediately, but quickened his pace until he walked up to the two columns of armor soldiers and waved his hand lightly.
I saw that those armor soldiers were all excited, their chests straightened and their backs straightened, and the guns and halberds in their hands slammed into the ground, shouting like thunder: "Deputy Commander!"
At this time, Dong Tu Nan also walked over and was startled by the formation in front of him.
Lei Zhanting couldn't help but smile when he saw his appearance, and then patted him on the shoulder quite heroically, pointed to those armor soldiers, and introduced: "These are all guards in the county town, and they are usually responsible for the security of the county guards. β
"You mean... If I'm not mistaken, his old man is already a figure at the level of the Earth Source Realm, and he also needs to be protected?" Dong Tu Nan glanced at those armor soldiers again, but he was suddenly stunned.
Because among the entire twelve armor soldiers, none of them could see the depth of cultivation.
It can be made that Dong Tu Nan can't see it, which means that every single one of them is at least a source martial artist at the level of the Condensation Source Realm, and even stronger!
At this moment, in his eyes, these burly armorers seemed to be a fierce tiger with a big waist and a round waist, and there was a majestic power hidden in their bodies.
"Sometimes it's not just about safety. In Dong Tu Nan's slightly confused gaze, Lei Zhan Thunder's eyes suddenly stared.
Whewββ!
An extremely pure flow of source force emanated from the fingertips of the latter's fingers, and fell directly into a bush not far away.
Puff~
I only heard the sound of qi flowing into my body, and in an instant, a scarlet blood splattered out of it and sprinkled it in the air.
Immediately after, Dong Tu Nan saw at a glance that the bushes on that side suddenly trembled, and with a bang, a thick body of the source beast rolled out.
It looks like a porcupine, covered in hard fur, with a row of sharp bone spurs on its back, and a pair of long, curved fangs that show out, which looks terrifying.
However, at this time, this source beast was already covered with blood, lying sideways in a pool of blood, and its solid body was still twitching.
"This ......" Dong Tu Nan looked at what was happening in front of him in amazement, when the source beast was hiding in the bushes, and he didn't know anything about it.
"A little guy from the Condensation Source Realm, he dares to come here to invade too!Hmph!" Lei Zhan Ting's eyes were full of disdain.
Immediately afterwards, he reintroduced Dong Tunan: "These armor soldiers are all trained by Xue Junshou himself, so it can be said that he is half of his apprentice. β
"Half an apprentice?" Dong Tu Nan was surprised.
"That's right, the reason why it's half is because Xue Junshou only gave them a set of exercises at the beginning, and then let them practice on their own, as for the final achievement, it all depends on their own efforts. Lei Zhanting replied.
"That's... Presumably, there are more than these people who have cultivated at the beginning, right?" Looking at the only twelve armor soldiers in front of him, Dong Tu Nan guessed.
"That's true. I think that at the beginning, I was ordered by the Snow County Guard to go to the county to select the talented Tianjiao, and a total of 100 Tianjiao were selected. Among these people, Xue Junshou personally selected fifty people and gave them the exercises to cultivate. β
However, in the end, there were only twenty people who achieved success, and more than half of the other Tianjiao were all misguided and eliminated. Lei Zhanting said in a long tone, his eyes seemed to contain a memory.
"Among these twenty people, the weakest one also has the strength of the peak of the Condensation Source Realm, and they all have the strength to fight beyond the ranks. β
"What about the strongest?" The strong are always at the center of the discussion, and this is naturally no exception for Dong Tunan.
"The strongest ......" Lei Zhanting said meaningfully, "He has reached the peak of the Xuanyuan Realm, and he is only a kick away from the Earth Master!"
"Hiss......" Dong Tu Nan couldn't help but take a big breath, he couldn't imagine that a Praetorian Guard army would have such terrifying strength.
"Then why ......"
"You're trying to ask, why are there only twelve people here now?" Lei Zhan Thunder glanced sideways at him.
At the same time, the two men continued to walk forward, and in a short time they came to a tent.
"Hmm. Dong Tu Nan nodded.
Lei Zhan Thunder suddenly stopped, sighed slightly, and said softly: "Just a few days ago, in the rioting source beast group, a beast king close to the strength of the Earth Source Realm suddenly rushed out, and under its ferocious attack, the defense line we resisted had collapsed in an instant. At this time, the snow county guard was asking for help from the imperial court and the surrounding counties, but he didn't have time to arrive. β
"As for me, after I learned the news in the county town, I also came as soon as possible, but it was still too late. The surging group of source beasts, under the leadership of the beast king, quickly broke through several lines of defense, if it weren't for the eight guards left behind by the Snow County Guard, I am afraid that the county city would also be affected soon. β
"That's... Eight ......" Dong Tu Nan's heart suddenly felt a wave of unease.
"Yes, all eight Praetorian guards died at the hands of the Beastmaster. After learning of this, Xue Junshou immediately returned to the county town in a rage, and after some deliberation, he went directly to the mountains. Lei Zhanting took a step forward, and his palm had already opened half of the curtain.
"And then?" Dong Tu Nan still didn't let go, and asked.
Later, the Snow Commander found the beastmaster and fought with him for a day and a night, and finally wounded him and returned safely. As he spoke, he had already stepped into the tent.
Dong Tu Nan didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to stand outside the camp with a good understanding, waiting for the people inside to call him in.
It was a long time before a voice came out of the tent.
"East boy, come in!"
The curtain was opened, and Dong Tunan walked in with a hunched body.
As soon as I entered the camp, I saw an old man with a beard sitting on a large chair, and the aura around him was constricted, looking like an ordinary old man.
However, Dong Tu Nan didn't dare to be disrespectful in the slightest, the old man in front of him who was not amazing was actually the ruler of the entire Xuefeng County, and Xuefeng County guarded Xuecang Mountain.
Dong Tu Nan had met him at the selection meeting of the Xuanyun Sect. Therefore, the moment you see it now, you recognize the identity of the other party.
This is a few points stronger than the thunder and thunder, the number one master in the real sense of the Snow Wind County, the cultivation strength has stepped into the realm of the earth master for a long time, and now the real combat power is even more unfathomable.
Beside him, stood the deputy county guard of Lei who had brought him over just now, Lei Zhanting.
When the two of them saw Dongtu Nan coming in, they both cast their eyes on him, and they didn't speak, just looked at him silently.
Although he had already stepped into the level of the strongest qi source realm, when facing two earth master powerhouses at the same time, Dong Tu Nan still felt a strong sense of oppression.
That kind of majesty seems to be squeezed like a big rock in the heart, which makes people feel very dull.
After standing for a long time, the county guard Xue Cangshan slowly spoke up and asked Dong Tu Nan: "You are the Tianjiao young man who fought with Zhan Ting head-on and defeated him, Dong Tu Nan?"
Dong Tu Nan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and he didn't know why Xue Cangshan would say this, but after thinking about it, this eighty percent was what Lei Zhan Ting told him just now.
Although this is indeed true, he does not think that he has defeated the other party, he is only winning on the agreement negotiated in advance, and he is still far from actually defeating him.
Therefore, Dong Tu Nan naturally didn't dare to hold it up, and explained in a loud voice: "I have seen Lord County Shou, and the junior is Dong Tu Nan, but what you said is slightly different from the real situation. β
"Oh, tell me about it. Xue Cangshan looked relaxed and asked with interest.
"Actually, that's the real situation. β
Dong Tu Nan thought about it for a while, and basically recounted how he made an agreement with Lei Zhan Thunder and how he fulfilled his promise after the battle.
"Therefore, the junior only defeated the agreement of the Lei senior, and the defeat was still 108,000 miles away!"
"Hahaha!" To his surprise, after listening to his retelling, Xue Cangshan suddenly burst out laughing, without the seriousness of the county guard at all.
"Frank enough! Not arrogant, not bad!" was another continuous compliment.
Lei Zhanting on the side looked at Dong Tu Nan, and a look of satisfaction also appeared between his eyebrows, and he couldn't stop smiling and nodding with Xue Cangshan's words.
"Little brother, let me ask you, how did you and that Yun Yin meet, how did you come to his door, did he ask you to do anything? Xue Cangshan retracted the smile on his face, and became serious in an instant.
Hearing this, Dong Tu Nan secretly thought about it in his mind.
The previous deputy county guard Lei had some mismatch with the sloppy old man, why did the snow county guard mention this matter now and ask about the sloppy old man? Could it be that there are some unknown secrets hidden among them?
After thinking about it again, Dong Tu Nan finally decided to hide part of the facts first, and couldn't just say the whole thing so casually.
Otherwise, it is not interesting enough for the sloppy old man, after all, people are their own saviors.
"That...... Senior, in fact, I didn't worship his disciple, he is not my master, and I have only known Senior Yun for a few days, and I don't know his situation. Dong Tu Nan replied very seriously, without saying a little more nonsense.
"Huh?" After Xue Cangshan listened, he suddenly frowned, and turned his gaze to Lei Zhan Ting, "What's the matter?"
Lei Zhanting was also a little stunned, a little didn't understand the situation, and couldn't help but ask Dong Tu Nan: "Aren't you Yun Yin's disciple?"
Dong Tu Nan shook his head very neatly and said, "No, I always thought that I was a disciple of Senior Yun, but in fact, I have known Senior Yun before and after, but it has only been a few days. β
"This ......"
For a while, Lei Zhanting's eyes when he looked at Xue Cangshan immediately fell into embarrassment, and he couldn't help but be a little speechless.
