Red Dust Inn Chapter 69 Qingfeng Forest

The sky was full of clouds, blocking most of the sunlight and making the forest look very bleak. The trees cast the shadows of the branches, which were clearly imprinted on the thick fallen leaves. There are so many wild animals in this forest that you can sometimes encounter squirrels walking through the trees or small snakes hiding in the fallen leaves.

This is Qingfeng Forest, from Qibao County to here, it is only half an hour of horseback.

Zhao Zheng was holding a jujube red horse and strolling through the forest, he came here to find things, not to hurry, there was no need to ride a horse. There were two things he was looking for here, one was a palm-shaped green herb bergamot, and the other was a turquoise sè fish-shaped jade pendant.

The former is scattered in the Qingfeng Forest, and there is no pattern to follow, while the latter has some clues to find.

In the game, the lost fish-shaped jade pendant will land in the grass near a boulder, which is deformed and easily recognizable. The only problem now is that the forest is too big, and even if you know what this stone looks like, it is difficult to find, so you can only find it slowly.

Zhao Zheng came prepared this time, carrying a fire fold in his arms, and a torch tied with an oilcloth pinned to his waist, which could be ignited at any time. If he encounters a wolf here, the horse he is holding will be the first to make a jǐng announcement, and he can ride away. If the horse is frightened, or runs slowly, he can also light a torch to drive the wolf away. The wolf is a very cunning and careful creature, and is very afraid of fire. With these two preparations, it is still safe for him to find things in this forest.

Finding something is definitely one of the most boring things in the world, and it is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also no fun. Fortunately, the autumn scenery here is not bad, and it can bring a little fun.

Zhao Zheng searched for most of the forest alone, but found nothing, neither the big stone nor the bergamot. He walked alone in the forest, accompanied only by a jujube red horse, and couldn't help but think of the girl Li Zhenzhen. If Li Zhenzhen is around, it will definitely be a lot more interesting, even if it is a mix of mouths, it can bring a lot of joy and smiles.

Although Zhao Zhengping is not a talker, he can't bear the loneliness, if he is allowed to live an isolated life like the "lonely blacksmith" Mu Yihe, I am afraid that he will be sick in a few days.

In the search and crankiness, Zhao Zheng spent a whole day. After reaching the west slope of Rìtou, he gave up the search, rode off on horseback, and returned to Qibao County.

In the next few days, Zhao Zheng went to Qingfeng Forest to look for things during the day, and returned to Qibao County at night to cultivate. Although he used up a lot of time during the day, he had a copy system with him, and he had a lot of time to spend on cultivation every day, so he didn't have to worry about delaying the progress of his cultivation.

In fact, cultivation is a very monotonous thing, repeatedly entering the dungeon every day is already very hard for Zhao Zheng, if he uses it all for cultivation during the day, he will go crazy sooner or later, and this combination of work and rest like this is a long-term solution, which can ensure his long-term cultivation enthusiasm.

There is indeed that kind of martial idiot in the world who only cares about cultivation wholeheartedly, but Zhao Zheng is by no means that kind of person, he is just an ordinary person, at most he has a little more perseverance than ordinary people, and a little more sense of justice.

Zhao Zheng's luck was really not good, and in the next few days, he only found two bergamot plants. In order to keep bergamot fresh, he spent points to open the flower garden warehouse and transplanted bergamot into it. He now has quite a lot of points in his hand, and he can unlock the warehouse or dungeon he needs at any time. He usually uses points very sparingly, and only when he needs it, he will unlock the corresponding warehouse or copy, and if he doesn't need it, he keeps saving.

In the process of looking for things, Zhao Zheng's heart has been hanging, and he is a little worried about encountering a wild wolf, but fortunately, in these days, he has not even encountered a wolf, but has met two medicine pickers who have ventured here. It is not easy to meet a big living person in this forest, every time he meets a stranger, he will come up to say hello, talk a few words, and sometimes send some dry food to the other party, anyway, he brings a lot of it every time.

Through the conversation with the two herb pickers, Zhao Zheng got some useful information, learned the location of the wild wolf often haunted, and also inquired about several places with large rocks. These news helped him a lot, and he couldn't help but think of the famous saying "rely on your parents at home, and rely on friends when you go out". It's always a good idea to make some friends when you're away from home.

Zhao Zheng relied on the guidance of the medicine picker to go to the directions where there were several large stones, and when he found the second stone, he found that the shape of this stone was very similar to the stone in his memory. He hurriedly searched around the stone a few times, rummaged in the grass, and suddenly touched a smooth hard object, grabbed it and put it in front of him, and really found a fish-shaped jade pendant, which was green and only a small amount of impurities, which was very beautiful. He was overjoyed, kissed the fish-shaped jade pendant, and put it in the system warehouse to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Found the jade pendant, the next thing is to look for bergamot wholeheartedly, there is no skill in finding this thing, it all depends on luck.

Zhao Zheng searched hard for many more, and finally found two more bergamot plants, and put them together into four, and only one was missing to be able to go back to work. He thought that this search journey could come to a successful end without leaving a little turmoil, but he didn't expect that something happened at the end of the accident, and there was a dangerous situation that he did not expect.

Just as Zhao was leading the horse in the forest to look for the last bergamot, the horse in his hand suddenly had a strange appearance, shook his head, hissed in his mouth, and his eyes widened, and he kept stumbling, as if he had seen a ghost.

There are no ghosts in this world, of course, it is impossible to see ghosts, but there are wolves in this world, and the horror of wolves and ghosts is not much different.

As soon as Zhao Zheng saw that the jujube red horse was behaving abnormally, he immediately thought of the wild wolf, and hurriedly tightened the reins to prevent the jujube red horse from escaping, and then shook his face left and right to look for the trace of the wild wolf. He soon caught a glimpse of a wild wolf on his left, which from a distance looked like a dog, but it gave an unusual pressure. Zhao Zheng's scalp was faintly numb, and the hairs on his back stood up, as if he had been electrocuted. Without saying a word, he stepped on the stirrup, turned over and stepped onto the red horse, pulled the reins and ran to the right, hoping to avoid the wolf.

In terms of speed, wolves are about the same as horses, and it is still unknown whether they can get rid of the wolf behind them.

Zhao Zheng rode out for a few seconds, leaned over and looked forward, staring at the road ahead, while clamping the horse's belly and whipping it. In fact, even if he didn't fight, now the horse would run with all his might. He rode forward for some distance, and when he took the time to look back, he saw that the wolf behind him had caught up with him at an astonishing speed, and behind this wolf there were several other wolves, at first glance there were at least three! It turns out that this is not a lone wolf, but a pack of wolves!

Just a wolf is enough for Zhao Zheng to drink a pot, not to mention a group of wolves, he feels hot and cold, unspeakably uncomfortable, and his stomach seems to be cramping, people who have not experienced life and death threats cannot experience this feeling, this is a kind of self-preservation instinct of the body!

Zhao Zheng turned his head, didn't dare to look at it anymore, and began to hurry up with all his strength to drive the jujube red horse under his crotch, eager to let the horse grow wings and fly away directly. His mind was blank now, and the only thought left was escape. He had never expected to encounter a whole pack of wolves in the forest, and now it was too late to regret it. Whether it is Hui Chūn Dan or Bing Blade, it is not as precious as his small life, and it is too worthless to lose his small life for this little thing.

"Phew! I'm going to be able to get out, calm down, don't be nervous! As soon as Zhao Zheng thought of death, he immediately took a few sips in his heart, and gave himself an order to force xìng to calm down. This jīng divine influence worked a little, his breathing slowed down a bit, and his heartbeat was also suppressed. The more moments like this, the more you need to be calm, otherwise the chances of survival will be lower.

The red horse galloped forward, leaving a series of panicked footprints on the ground, and whenever it encountered a tree obstruction, it turned its head to bypass it, and this process of turning would greatly slow down its speed. However, the wild wolves in the back do not have these scruples, these wild wolves are smaller, move quickly and flexibly, and can quickly avoid the obstacles of trees without being affected in the slightest.

Zhao Zheng looked back to observe the situation of the wolf pack from time to time, and found that there were at least seven wild wolves, and the distance between the two sides was gradually narrowing, and in terms of explosive power, the wild wolves seemed to be higher than horses.

The current situation is quite bad, according to the development of this situation, the wild wolves have to catch up, once they are besieged by so many wolves, Zhao Zheng's chance of winning is directly equal to zero.

"What to do...... What should I do......" Zhao Zheng was like beating a drum in his heart, and quickly thought about a solution, but he didn't come up with a solution. Although he has a torch with him, but a torch is not enough to scare away a group of wolves, the wolf is not timid, but more cautious, in the case of only one wolf, the wolf will be afraid of fire, but a group of wolves, the wolf has the courage to attack. If he set fire to the forest, he would have been able to use the fire to avoid the wolves, but now he has no time to set fire.

At this critical juncture, things took a turn for the worse again, and two wild wolves suddenly appeared in front of them, and it turned out that the wolves had set up an encirclement around here!

As soon as Zhao Zheng saw the two wolves rushing straight in front of him, his heart sank to the bottom suddenly, stopped thinking, and completely fell into endless despair.

Zao Hongma also saw the two wild wolves in front of him, and without waiting for Zhao Zheng to give orders, he took the initiative to change direction, turned a big corner, and ran in another direction.

One after the other, two waves of wild wolves started to chase, forming a pincer momentum, chasing Zhao Zheng who was riding a horse, it seems that this group of wolves is really hungry, and they have to treat this person and horse as lunch.

Zhao Zheng rode his horse and galloped wildly, constantly looking at the front and back, left and right, and found that the wolves were getting closer and closer, and the nearest wolf was only about five meters away from him, and it would catch up in a few seconds. His heart was almost beating out of his throat in a state of high tension, when he looked ahead and saw a tall thick tree trunk, about two meters above his head, not too close and not too far.

He didn't think too much about it, he made a move completely by relying on his will to survive, secretly used the internal force in his body, and jumped out towards the branch.

If he jumped with his own strength, he would never be able to catch the trunk, and only by successfully using the buoyancy of Luo Yanbu could he hope to grasp the trunk.

He has cultivated Luo Yanbu until now, he is still an out-and-out half-hanger, and he can only succeed once after ten exercises, and today is life or death, it all depends on the one-tenth chance.
