Chapter Twenty-Three: Black Wind Ridge
During the night, the caravan stopped and set up camp.
The front is the Black Wind Ridge, and at this time, the caravan has lost a lot of people, and many of them are injured, so it is really not suitable to rush immediately, so the three caravans discussed it. In the end, it was decided that the caravan would gather together and rest in place for seven days, anyway, it was not a matter of a day or two to rush to Zhaonan County, and wait until everyone's injuries were better and they could adapt to the bumps in the boat and car before rushing, so as to ensure everyone's combat effectiveness.
In the Black Wind Ridge, combat effectiveness is the most important guarantee, who knows how many bandits are still waiting to slaughter their fat sheep?
At the end of the day, Fang Zhong was already able to walk, and he found that after he was injured, the Spirit Gathering Array in his body had become more suitable for his body, and his speed had also greatly accelerated, and a steady stream of heaven and earth spiritual qi was surging from all directions, slowly flowing in his body.
This also made his body recover extremely quickly, and he was able to walk on the ground in just one day.
Fang Zhong estimated that with his current recovery speed, he would almost be able to fight again after seven days, although his combat strength was only eighty percent of the past, it was much stronger than others.
The night was as cold as water, Fang Zongqing's body was weak, and he had already slept.
But Fang Zhong didn't, instead sat cross-legged, trying to guide the Spirit Gathering Array in his body. His injury this time made the Spirit Gathering Array and his body more compatible, and he thought that maybe it should be much easier to try to guide the aura in the Spirit Gathering Array now than in the past, and maybe he could succeed.
Five hearts to the sky, the mind was silent, feeling the aura of heaven and earth slowly flowing in the body, Fang Chong's heart was extremely comfortable.
The aura of heaven and earth is baptizing his body and tempering his physique all the time, which means that he is improving all the time, and he doesn't even need to deliberately exercise.
This is the benefit of the Spirit Gathering Array, which can spontaneously temper his body.
"Hey, this feeling ....." Suddenly, Fang Chong was taken aback, he just felt that the "Beauty of the Rivers and Mountains" behind him suddenly trembled, and a very peculiar feeling rose in his heart, much kinder than in the past, as if the "Beauty of the Rivers and Mountains" was a part of his body.
Moreover, there is a faint strange power flowing out of "The Beauty of the Mountains", slowly changing in his body and even his soul.
"What the hell is going on, can I still make the "Beauty of the Rivers and Mountains change" if I am injured?
Fang Zhongzhong was very puzzled, last time he was injured, and then he opened the "Picture of the Beauty of the Rivers and Mountains", this time he was injured Will he open some kind of prohibition of the "Pictures of the Beauty of the Rivers and Mountains" again, or, directly open the first of the nine-fold palaces inside, if that is the case, it would be great.
At this moment, Mei'er's voice sounded in his mind: "Hehe, master, what do you think is beautiful, where is the nine-story palace so easy to open?"
"If you don't reach the corresponding strength, the Ninefold Palace can't be opened at all. ”
Mei'er is charming and natural, with a peerless appearance, walking in "The Beauty of the Rivers and Mountains", like a gorgeous flower, exuding a seductive fragrance all the time.
"Shame on you..... Every time I see Mei'er, I can't help but boil my blood. Fang Chong despised himself fiercely in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Then what's going on with me now? I feel that the connection with "The Beauty of the Mountains and Rivers" has become closer, and there is also a strange power coming out. ”
"Hee-hee...."
Mei'er smiled charmingly, the country and the city were captivating, the charm was boundless, the invisible temptation was too powerful, almost made Fang Zhong squirt out a nosebleed, he quickly looked away, only to hear Mei'er say: "This is because your blood is soaked in the artifact, and the fit with the artifact has become even better." ”
Mei'er tilted her head, made a cute appearance, and said: "Well, to put it simply, the current "Beauty of the Mountains" has really integrated into your body and become a part of you, so the artifact energy in it will spontaneously seep out and change your body." ”
"Oh, I see, I thought I had opened the first palace. Fang Zhong suddenly realized, feeling the artifact energy in his body, and couldn't help but feel his heart flutter.
With the refining of artifact energy, his body will definitely improve a lot.
It is conceivable that with the dual refining of the Spirit Gathering Array and the energy of the artifact, coupled with his own efforts, it will not be too far to reach the realm of a second-rate martial artist.
Fang Zhong didn't sleep this night, but with the dual nourishment of artifact energy and heaven and earth aura, he was more energetic than a person who slept all night.
The only thing that made him feel a little surprised was that after he rescued him that day, the strange master hiding in the carriage didn't make any movement, didn't say anything, didn't do anything, as if nothing happened that day, which made Fang Zhong very puzzled.
If the man in the carriage wasn't for some reason, then why help?
But obviously he helped, but the other party didn't say anything, Fang Zhong didn't even know who the other party was, why he wanted to save him, and he couldn't say thank you in person.
"Forget it, maybe people are outside the world, and it's just a gesture to save me, and I don't bother to remember. Fang Zhong could only think like this, so that he would no longer stare at the carriage.
However, the carriage was like a bright apple, and he felt that there was always an invisible force tempting him, which made him extremely curious, and wanted to open the curtain of the carriage to see what was going on inside, and there was a desperate desire to explore.
"It won't be because the other party is a woman, right?" Fang Zhong was taken aback by his thoughts, and quickly shook his head, "What if it's a woman, I don't know what it looks like, maybe it's a seventy or eighty-year-old lady." ”
"Well, it's probably an old lady of seventy or eighty, and if the young man doesn't have the patience to stay in the carriage for a few days without showing up. ”
Thinking about it like this, Fang Zhong calmed down, anyway, he wouldn't believe that he was so interested because the other party was a woman, even if the other party was a woman or a beauty, so what? Can there still be Mei'er beautiful, more charming than Mei'er? Women, in front of Mei'er, are all scum!
For seven days in a row, Fang Zhong felt in a trance, and from time to time he couldn't help but look at the carriage.
This made him feel incredible, he was not a person who was weak when he saw a beautiful woman, not to mention that he hadn't seen what the people in the carriage looked like.
However, that feeling existed, well, not from the beginning, to be precise, but from the moment he was about to launch the artifact forbidden spell that day, and the people in the carriage came to save him, as if there was some kind of demonic power, which made him unable to extricate himself.
"Mei'er. Unable to figure it out, Fang Zhong could only ask Mei'er, "What do you say is going on?" That carriage is like a drug, attracting me all the time, it's really weird." ”
"Well....." Mei'er frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I don't know, I only know that there is a woman in that carriage, a young woman, and nothing else is abnormal." ”
"Woman, young woman?" Fang Zhong was stunned for a moment, wanting to ask how the other party looked, but immediately woke up, swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and said, "Then do you have any way to make my feeling disappear, it's too painful." ”
How could a woman, a woman whom I had never even met, be so tempted to me?
Fang Zhong was extremely depressed, but he didn't understand what was going on if he wanted to break his head, he could only attribute it to God, maybe this was fate.
"Departure, departure......"
At this moment, Zhuang Jun's voice came from the front, like a broken gong.
This is the seventh day, and it is time for the caravan to set off, as long as it crosses the Black Wind Ridge, there is a horse and a flat river in front of it, and it will soon be able to reach Zhaonan County.
Fang Chong followed the sound and looked, only to see Zhuang Jun chiling with a sturdy Shangshen, shouting at the top of his throat, and only when he saw Fang Chong did he stop, and said: "Little brother, the team is about to leave, the front is the Black Wind Ridge, you and your father try to get as close to the middle of the caravan as possible, and follow me in any situation." ”
Fang Chong's heart warmed, and he said with a smile: "Then I'll thank Brother Yu on behalf of my father." ”
For seven days, the two were often together, and they had become extremely familiar, and Zhuang Jun regarded Fang Zhong as a little brother in his heart, so he would naturally protect him.
Bang Bang Bang Bang .....
The caravan marched along the road ahead.
It only took half a day, the caravan arrived at the Black Wind Ridge, from a distance, the Black Wind Ridge is like a sharp sword inserted into the sky, the walls are thousands of miles, the mountains and rocks are steep, and there are tall and jagged trees, slender rivers and waterfalls, and the terrain is extremely complex.
Such terrain is too suitable for ambush and looting, no wonder it will become a base camp for bandits.
"Everyone be careful, there is Black Wind Ridge in front of you. Zhuang Jun's expression was solemn, obviously very jealous of this Black Wind Ridge, he looked at Fang Zhong and explained: "Little brother, this Black Wind Ridge is the most dangerous place within a radius of thousands of miles, there are groups of bandits, bandits are everywhere, and the people who die here can be piled up into a mountain." ”
"Moreover, this Black Wind Ridge is said to have eighteen holes, each hole is entrenched in a group of powerful bandits, the strength is extremely strong, the Red Tiger Army of Zhaonan County has also come to sweep several times over the years, but in the end it can only be stopped, as soon as the Red Tiger Army leaves, the bandits are rampant......"
Road Chief, Fang Zhong had a preliminary understanding of the place of Heifengling from Zhuang Jun's mouth.
To put it simply, this place is a chaotic area, where entrenched bandits often fight, fighting each other for territory and manpower.
Of course, they also plundered caravans, and even caravans sometimes fought each other here.
Because this is a chaotic zone, no one cares, no one asks, and no one knows what is done here to blame the bandits.
Over time, this Black Wind Ridge has become more dangerous, the eighteen caves are fierce, among which the Black Star Cave, the Water Dragon Cave, and the Cangshan Cave are the three giants, and there are thousands of bandits under their hands, rampant in this area, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil.
