Looking at the description of the side quest, Wang Liang's heart was in a trance, and then he walked up to the merchant with a fierce look in his eyes, and lifted the merchant up.

The merchant was a fat man, weighing nearly two hundred, but he was lifted up by Wang Liang, and Wang Liang's hand stuck the merchant's neck, which directly made him breathless.

"Say, what's going on?"

Seeing that the merchant's fat face turned red, Wang Liangcai let go of his hand and let the merchant fall to the ground.

The merchant roared, and was about to pounce on Wang Liang to fight, but he was caught by a Mo knife that flashed with cold light.

Wang Liang, who held the merchant's neck with a slashing knife, said coldly: "Now I can say it." ”

The murderous aura on the slashing knife made the merchant pee directly, and he shouted loudly: "Don't kill me, my brother-in-law is a county magistrate, don't kill me." ”

Later, under Wang Liang's murderous gaze, the merchant finally told him what the situation was here.

It turned out that about five years ago, a fierce tiger came to this Jingyanggang, and the fierce tiger was so powerful that it killed nearly 100 hunters in a year, and even once killed the village under the mountain.

Yanggu County, near Jingyanggang, after knowing this, quickly sent troops into the mountain, wanting to kill the fierce tiger, but did not expect to cause the fierce tiger to resist, and finally the fierce tiger became a demon in the bloody battle, drove away the mountain god, monopolized Jingyanggang, and called himself Jingyang Mountain King.

After that, the fierce tiger became a demon tiger, and this Jingyanggang also became a demon ridge, and the road leading to Jingyanggang from this was almost interrupted.

In the end, it was the Heavenly Master and the nearby army who came over and suppressed the demon tiger, so that the demon tiger did not make trouble in Yanggu County, but they also reached an agreement with the demon tiger that they would only go on the road at noon every day, and they could use special methods to pass through the demon ridge safely, and all the other times on the road were food.

And the special means mentioned here is the gong that was snatched by the guys.

There were three sides of this gong, one in the hands of three caravans.

This gong is called the trumpet gong, which was originally used to drive away corpses, no, it was originally used to open the way for those officials, and after some high-ranking treatments, this three-sided trumpet gong can make the team that follows look like a yin soldier traveling.

As long as they don't go out of the team, even if the monsters in the mountains and forests see it, they will only think that it is a dead person passing by, and they will not see them as a living person.

Only in this way can they safely pass through the Demon Ridge Jingyang Gang.

And the merchant got such a gong because of his brother-in-law's relationship, and he has been taking the mountain road from Jingyanggang to Yanggu County for the past few years, because only three caravans can pass safely, so he has made a lot of money.

It's just that now the gong has been snatched away, they are considered to be out of the team, and they are safe for the time being, but just now, I don't know who angered the demon tiger, maybe when the demon tiger will jump out and kill all the people here.

Speaking of this, the fat merchant burst into tears, "I didn't have to lead the team myself today, I just wanted to go and see my sister, why am I so difficult." ”

"Stand up, is there any other place to hide?"

After hearing the situation here, Wang Liang raised another question, without knowing the strength of the other party, Wang Liang was not sure that he could kill a monster.

"Now we can only go to the mountain temple, there is the remnant breath of the mountain god, coupled with the suppression of my brother-in-law's Great Seal, we can stay there forever without being attacked, and if Jingyang Mountain Jun is attacked, we can hide there and support it for about three days."

"Mountain Temple?"

Wang Liang glanced at the civilians here, and finally shook his head, "If there is no other way, then I can only go to the Mountain Temple, but I prefer to leave here today." ”

"Hero, there is no way to do this, without a gong, we will be targeted by monsters if we can't walk ten miles on the mountain, all we can do is wait for tomorrow's caravan to appear and leave with the caravan."

As soon as those passers-by heard the words of the fat merchant, they all nodded again and again, they are all people who take this road, they all know the strength of Jingyang Mountain Jun, they will fight with their lives in order to make some money, it does not mean that they are willing to die, they only hope to find a safe place to hide now, waiting for the arrival of the caravan tomorrow.

But Wang Liang is not optimistic about this idea, if the voice before is the voice of Jingyang Shanjun, then the line of Jingyanggang has been broken, don't say tomorrow, even if there will be no caravans in the city for a period of time, then they will only become the tiger's reserve food.

"Throw away all the goods in the cart, and we'll chase your fellow in the wagon, and we'll go down the hill as long as we can get the gong back."

As soon as Wang Liang's words were finished, he was opposed by everyone.

What is impossible to give up the goods, these are the last capital of their family, their family depends on this to survive, just throw these goods here and escape, this is the most unreasonable choice.

So everyone stood up and surrounded Wang Liang, as if they wanted Wang Liang to retract the idea.

Glancing at them, Wang Liang laughed disdainfully.

"If you don't want to, then forget it, I plan to go down the mountain by myself, is it just as long as I follow this road all the way to get out of Jingyanggang."

The fat merchant's eyes widened when he heard this, "Hero, you don't plan to protect us?" ”

"I don't owe you anything, why should I protect you."

Wang Liang felt that the brain hole of this fat merchant was quite fresh and refined, he didn't know what the fat merchant thought, and he would think that he must protect him.

Only then did the fat businessman react, Wang Liang is really not the kind of person who will sacrifice himself for others, no matter how he calls himself the brother-in-law of the county order, it is useless, and there is no envy in Wang Liang's eyes.

Finally, the fat merchant said: "I have a treasure, I hope the hero can help protect me and wait for the caravan to go to the mountain temple and wait for tomorrow." ”

As soon as the fat merchant's words were finished, a message popped up in front of Wang Liang.

[Will I take the temporary mission: Demon Ridge Mountain Temple]

[Mission requirements: Protect the merchant Wang Yi and 33 civilians to go to the mountain temple, and protect them until noon the next day, for each civilian who survives, the task evaluation level will be increased by 1 point, and the merchant Wang Yi will have other rewards if he survives.] 】

This accident made Wang Liang feel speechless, he didn't expect this fat merchant to have such benefits.

At this moment, the fat merchant Wang Yi seemed to feel that Wang Liang's eyes were not so resistant, and he hurriedly said: "Hero, please believe me, this thing is a treasure, as long as you can keep me safe overnight, I will give this treasure away." ”
