The next morning, Lei Li got up early. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
His father gave him two hundred copper coins again, saying that he was buying some tools to use, Lei Li wanted to refuse, but then he thought that the ring given by his mother was still pressed in the pawnshop, so he had to accept his father's copper coins.
With the copper coins given by his father, Lei Li walked on the way to the pawnshop, and people came and went on the street, discussing something from time to time.
"Have you heard, a large number of people are rushing to Hukou Mountain today, and I heard that it seems that someone has found the traces of the chariot."
"Oh? Is it? Why don't you go and join in the fun? ”
"I want to live a few more years, I heard that this place is full of mutated monsters, which move quickly and specialize in attacking humans. It's scary! ”
"Then let's stay in the town, don't go out and take that risk, I don't want to risk my life."
Lei Li heard the conversation between the two and knew that it was time to go to Hukou Mountain. Hurry up to the pawnshop and redeem my mother's ring, and stay in my hand, "Mom, bless me!" Lei Li went home and packed up his things again, it was inevitable to spend the night in the mountains, so he bought tents, bedding and the like, anyway, there are space capsules, and he can bring whatever he wants. Pack your things and it's time to go.
Originally, Lei Li was going to say goodbye to his father, but when he thought that his father might be sad, he still didn't go, and he told his father when he came back, and his father would understand. So he simply left the town without saying goodbye, took his things and hurried straight to Hukou Mountain to the south.
Not long after Lei Li left, Uncle Lake was looking at Lei Li's back not far away, at this time his heart was extremely complicated, as Lei Li's father, he not only hoped that his son could fulfill his dream, but also worried about his son's safety. I don't know if it's right or wrong to let Lei Li take risks this time, so I have to sigh in the end!
Of course, Lei Li, who was busy on the road, couldn't know everything behind him, and he was trying to run south at this time.
According to the map, as long as you go straight south, you will reach Hukou Mountain, and you will pass through a small forest in the middle.
"Sure enough, it's here." As long as you pass through this forest, you can quickly reach Hukou Mountain. With the strength of Lei Li's feet, he should be able to reach his destination in the afternoon.
Just as Lei Li was about to walk into the forest, he suddenly felt a sound behind him. Lei Li turned his head to look, only to see two giant ants about forty centimeters long and twenty centimeters high approaching him, Lei Li looked at the giant ants vigilantly, pulled out his saber, and was ready to shoot at any time. I thought to myself, this must be the giant ant that the grocery store owner said, it's really not small. I think it must have been polluted to produce mutations, so that the ants grew so big, I don't know how aggressive this giant ant is.
I saw that the giant ant was slowly approaching him, and when he approached him, he moved forward step by step, as if he was also aware of the saber in Lei Li's hand. Lei Li didn't dare to take the initiative to make a move, allowing the giant ant to move at will, he just stared at the giant ant cautiously to prevent the giant ant from suddenly attacking.
With a snort, the giant ant pounced on Lei Li, and Lei Li had to dodge this situation. Dodge the giant ant's attack. At this time, another giant ant pounced on Lei Li again.
"Again! I'll go... Lei Li exclaimed. Flashed to the left, the saber in his hand thrust upward, hitting the neck of the giant ant, the giant ant should have been greatly injured, fell to the ground, struggled a few times, and was motionless.
Seeing this, the other giant ant did not feel frightened, but pounced on Lei Li again, looking like he wanted to bite Lei Li's thigh. Lei Li kicked the giant ant away, and then quickly followed, making up for the giant ant with lightning speed. The giant ant didn't even have a chance to struggle, and he was already dying.
Lei Li looked at the corpses of the two giant ants on the ground, and in a moment, they had already turned into the size of normal ants. Could it be that death made the energy in their corpses disappear, so they returned to their normal size? Lei Li was puzzled, now he has no intention of caring about these, now the main purpose is to rush to Hukou Mountain first, after all, there are already many people who have arrived, he wants to win the chariot, then he can't go too late, otherwise the chariot will be taken away, and he will not be busy in vain.
So Lei Li hurried up, and along the way, Lei Li also encountered a lot of giant ants like just now, but because of his first experience, Lei Li quickly eliminated them. There were no bigger obstacles along the way.
In the afternoon, Lei Li finally arrived at Hukou Mountain, there is a post station here, usually there are no people, but in recent days, because people have come to Hukou Mountain to explore, the people at the post station have also increased. Lei Li found a seat and sat down.
"Did you hear that? Brother, someone entered the cave where the chariot was hidden in the morning, and I heard that those people never came out again, and Bao Buqi was killed by all the mechanical dogs there. ”
"Not necessarily, maybe someone has found a chariot."
"Then why hasn't it come out yet?"
"I don't want anyone outside to know, so I sneaked away."
"Hmph, how do you sneak away from such a big chariot? It's ridiculous. ”
Lei Li heard the conversation between the two and knew that this expedition to Hukou Mountain must be extremely dangerous.
"May I ask the two of you, do you know how many people have come to Hukou Mountain this time?" Lei Li asked.
"There are more than 200 people in total, and they have already entered the mountain yesterday, but they have not come out, and they don't know how to live or die. Most of them came for the chariots, but there were a few who came to be able to dig up some treasures in the mountains. After all, if you want to get a chariot, the difficulty coefficient is really a bit big, but digging up a treasure is different, and you can also make a fortune. ”
"Did so many people enter Hukou Mountain in batches?"
"No, when everyone comes, they will call some of their friends, they form a team, and then choose a captain, lead them in, and how much benefit they can get after entering depends on their own ability. After all, they are all their friends, and they will not turn their faces because of some interests. ”
"The two eldest brothers, the younger brother came here alone, and he really doesn't have his own team, I don't know if I can bring one with me."
The two of them were embarrassed, then thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay, but we're a small team, only a dozen people. Self-protection is a bit difficult, and if you bring you, you can only lead the way, and if you want to be safe, you can only protect yourself. If you don't mind, then join us! ”
Hearing the words of the two, Lei Li was also very happy, although the team was a little smaller, it was always better than being alone, and it was not a good deal to follow them in the wrong way. Then he said, "In that case, then thank you two big brothers." I don't know the names of the two big brothers. ”
"My name is Li Shan, this is my brother, my name is Li Hu. And the people at the table behind me are all our own brothers, and we will have to take care of each other in the future. ”
Lei Li laughed, "Thank you two big brothers." The younger brother is not polite to the two of you! ”
Li Shan and Li Hu heard Lei Li's words, and they also had a good impression of him, and they only felt that he was a free and easy person.
The three of them continued to talk for a while, it was already evening, and it was not suitable to enter the mountain, so they had to stay at the post station first.
