"It's going to cross the Skull Slope, this place is very dangerous, you have to be careful for a while." I got up in the morning, ate breakfast, packed up my things, and said to Wang Fusheng.

"Skull slope?" Wang Fusheng looked at the front curiously, yesterday just arrived at two o'clock in the afternoon, the team could camp and prepare to rest, Wang Fusheng felt a little strange, when he slept at night, he always felt that the front was like Yinsensen, so he heard Atta say that there was a skull slope in front Wang Fusheng was very curious.

"Skull Slope is one of the obstacles to entering the Xingling Mountains from Xiaoxingcheng, and legend has it that the Xingling Mountains were not a mountain range, but a plain, and many people lived on the plains. One day, an evil demon cultivator came here and killed many people here with extremely evil means to refine a magic weapon. The population of the plains almost killed him ninety percent.

Just when he wanted to kill the rest of the people and finish refining the magic weapon. An extremely powerful righteous man appeared, and the two men fought on the plain for three days and three nights, and the earth collapsed and the sea flowed backwards. In the end, the righteous man burned his own life, summoned the mountain range from the sky, and suppressed the demon cultivator at the bottom of the mountain range.

And the Skull Slope was the lowest-lying place where the plain collapsed back then, so the dry bones of so many people who died back then gathered here, and over time, the bones of those poor people who died unjustly became unconscious skeletons under the nourishment of the dark power of the sealed evil cultivators.

There is also a saying that the righteous people of the year cut off the head of the demon cultivator and divided the demon cultivator's body into five parts to suppress it separately. And the Skull Slope looks very much like a skull from the sky, so it is the place where the head of the demon cultivator is suppressed. However, none of this can be confirmed, but the skeleton from the skull slope to Chengdu is real. There is even the Skeleton King in the deepest part, and we only pass through the edge of the Skeleton Slope, so as long as there are no accidents, it is still safe. ”

"Those skeletons are powerful?"

"Low-level skeletons aren't very powerful, they're just troublesome. You'll need to blow his head off to kill him. Otherwise, even if you crush all the bones in his body, his head will still be alive and will want to bite you. And every once in a while, the dead skeletons will be resurrected under the nourishment of the yin power, so the skeletons of the skeleton slope are endless. ”

"There is actually a yin power that can nourish the resurrection of dead skeletons, so isn't there any powerful treasure in the skeleton slope?" Wang Fusheng's eyes lit up.

"There are quite a few people who have the same conjecture as you, and there have been people who have organized teams to explore inside. But as long as you go within 100 miles of Skull Slope. No one came out alive. Much later, you'll see that the person who entered before becomes part of the army of skeletons. So over time, it became a forbidden place, and no one dared to enter it anymore.

But fortunately, although the skeleton slope is in the way of entering the Xingling Mountains, as long as you don't go deeper. It's not too dangerous to just pass by the edge, unless you encounter Skeletron patrolling your territory, otherwise you feel a little uncomfortable when you see skeletons everywhere, and nothing else. ”

"When did Skeletron start patrolling his territory?"

"This is uncertain, no one can grasp the time when Skeletron patrols his territory, so I can only ask for more blessings when I encounter it. However, in general, during the day, especially when the sun is shining, the frequency of skeleton activity is very low. Skeletron also rarely appears. So we set off at this time, and we can reach the Skull Slope at about 10 o'clock. You can get out of the middle of the day without a break at 2 p.m. The sunlight is strongest during this time, which can save us a lot of trouble. ”

As the sun rose in mid-air and became hotter, the team reached Skull Slope. As far as the eye can see, there is a vast white expanse around you, but this whiteness is not the beauty of snow, but the pale of bones. As soon as he walked into the Skull Slope, Wang Fusheng felt that the air around him suddenly became cold, and this kind of cold was not the cold of winter, but the gloomy one that made people feel uncomfortable.

The mercenary team walked on the perimeter. Forging masters like Wang Fusheng and other physicians. and a horse-drawn carriage that walked in the middle of the procession, even in the mountains. Wherever the team leading the team in front of them passed, as long as they encountered a skull, they would go over and smash the skull to pieces.

Wang Fusheng saw at a glance that a skull buried in the pile of bones had been leaked, and after the front team walked by, he actually used the skull as the base point, and the bones in other parts of his body instantly gathered towards him, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a skeleton. He also held a generally rusty knife in his hand. However, he was quickly killed by vigilant mercenaries, which was considered a thrill. But although there is no danger to step on the skeleton on the ground, the creaking forward and the gloomy environment around it still make people's scalp a little numb.

The thousand-strong team could not bring any life to the huge Skull Slope, and luckily the team made it through the Skull Slope at two o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly moved on, preparing to move some distance further away from Skull Slope and set up camp again.

Another three days passed, Wang Fusheng was completely busy, and he didn't know how far away he was from his destination. But the beasts that kept appearing, the demon beasts that were sometimes mixed with the beasts, began to cause casualties to the team. Wang Fusheng began to repair all kinds of equipment and weapons every day when he opened his eyes, and there were still many waiting for him to repair them when he went to bed at night. Especially after a forging master was caught and eaten by a huge nightingale when he was in the enterprise at night, Wang Fusheng became even busier.

"Do you have to go to the creek? Where is it dangerous. Atta looked at Wang Fusheng and frowned. Whether it is in the world of beasts or in the world of demon beasts, where there is a water source, is where they gather. So since two days ago, when there were casualties in the ranks, the team had stopped near the creek unless it was to replenish water.

"I also know that it is dangerous to be close to the stream, but if you don't go to the stream, you have to get me water to clean these equipment, if you can't wipe it, you can only clean it, otherwise it can't be repaired." Wang Fusheng looked at the various armors stained with blood on the ground and said.

Wang Fusheng didn't know until he got the first armor with blood that the blood of the human body also has energy. Once the enchantment has been infected with blood, it must be cleaned. Otherwise, the blood will conflict with the potion of the enchantment pattern, and the repair of the enchantment pattern will not be completed.

"I'll ask the regimental commander if there's a way, the bloody armor really can't be repaired." Atta nodded, armor or weapons stained with blood, especially broken enchantment patterns, with blood on them, could not be repaired, this was common knowledge as a mercenary, but they didn't know how to repair them. After all, he is not a forger.

The mercenary didn't know where to help me Wang Fusheng get a lot of water, and a mercenary helped Wang Fusheng clean it together. Wang Fusheng sat in the carriage, of course, not in the carriage, but in the driver's position. Lu Zhen sat on the other side, and Wang Fusheng held a carving knife in his hand and buried himself in repairing the enchantment pattern of the man.

"You're a blacksmith?" With the help of the carriage, Wang Fusheng finally had a place to continue repairing these broken armor and weapons when he was on the road, so his work efficiency was greatly improved. Seeing Wang Fusheng put down a battle axe in his hand, Lu Zhen asked. Lu Zhen was very curious to meet such a young forging master in such a small place.

Because from the point of view of Wang Fusheng's method of repairing the enchantment pattern. Should be an experienced smith, as only an experienced smith can repair broken enchantments so quickly. It is much more difficult to repair the road than to forge it, which is like reciting the 26 English letters. It will seem easy to have you memorize it from beginning to end, but it is not easy to answer by picking out one of the middle and asking you how many you are. Therefore, in terms of repairing the enchantment pattern alone, Wang Fusheng is definitely a forging master of no low level.

"Hehe, I'm a bit biased. The enchantment is good, but the forging is only an apprentice, so he can only be regarded as a beginner enchanter. But not a forger. Wang Fusheng scratched his head and said.

In fact, focusing on the enchantment pattern will actually have a lot of achievements, and there are many enchantment master-level figures in the Great Yan Empire. But if you enchant the pattern alone, you can't become a true master blacksmith. Because the real enchantment pattern needs to be condensed in the forging.

For example, the master forge can imply the enchantment pattern in the inside of the weapon and equipment through every knock and each fold during the forging, and after the weapon and equipment are forged, there is an enchantment pattern itself, and such an enchantment pattern is hidden in it, unless the weapon is this one, it will not be easily destroyed.

Unlike the weapons and equipment repaired by Wang Fusheng, which are all enchanted after they have been forged, the enchantment patterns are all engraved on the outside of the weapons and equipment, so that they are scratched by the opponent on the patterns during the battle. will destroy the entire enchantment effect and need to be repaired. The former is the real forge, while the latter is a forging and an enchantment. It's done separately by two people, so it's very inferior to the former.

Thinking of this, Wang Fusheng thought of the small warehouse where Tong Tie took him, and a lot of dust fell on the weapons and equipment inside. Some of them also have patterns on them, but after Wang Fusheng understood the true connotation of the forging technique and the enchantment pattern, he understood that the pattern on the surface of the thing inside should be the enchanted pattern of the later stage, and the enchantment pattern hidden inside will definitely be more powerful, so taking out the things in it will definitely make the mercenary break his head.

"Actually, it's good to learn enchantment alone." Lu Zhen said with a smile. Then he talked with Wang Fusheng for a few words and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Wang Fusheng shrugged his shoulders and continued to repair the enchantment pattern. Obviously, a real forging master Lu Zhen will be interested, after all, Wang Fusheng is not very old, he became a forging master at such a young age, and there must be a lot of room for growth in the future, so it is worth wooing. But if it's just a simple enchanter. Then it's not worth Lu Zhen to woo.

Because even if the enchanter reaches the realm of the enchanter master, he can't change the enchantment pattern, and the hard wound on the surface of the equipment will appear and the forging master who really forges the enchantment pattern into the weapon and equipment is not half a star. And there are enchantment patterns in the weapons and equipment, and the surface can also be engraved with enchantment patterns, so that the gap is even greater when compared.

Therefore, when he heard about Wang Fusheng, he made remarkable achievements in the enchantment pattern, but he was only an apprentice in the real forging technique. This made Lu Zhen lose his interest in wooing, after all, a forging master in his twenties is difficult to find, but a forging apprentice in his twenties is a big deal.

However, if Lu Zhen knew that Daoist Wang Fusheng had only been learning the forging technique for a month, he would have changed from a beginner who didn't know anything about enchantment patterns to a junior enchanter. And in terms of forging, it has also been introduced, forging fine iron that can make weapons and equipment, will there still be this kind of loss of interest.

In the evening, after Wang Fusheng used all kinds of beast blood and gem powder to prepare the medicinal solution used in the enchantment pattern, he began to wait around the fire to eat. Wine is definitely a luxury in this world, because the food is outrageous. As a result, vegetarians are noble, while meat eaters are inferior.

When the mercenaries eat, what they look forward to most is not the golden roasted meat, but the wild vegetable soup. Of course, these wild vegetables cannot be compared with Lingmai and Lingdao, because the wild vegetables do not absorb the essence of the spiritual energy condensation of heaven and earth. Just ordinary wild vegetables. Those wild vegetables that have condensed the essence will become treasures, these are medicinal herbs that need to be brought back and sold, and the treasures are not yet luxurious to this point when eaten by mercenaries.

Wang Fusheng actually wants to cook a pot of broth with rare treasures as wild vegetables, and it would be even more perfect if he had a few steamed buns and a pot of soju. However, seeing that all the mercenaries were munching on barbecue and drinking tasteless wild vegetable soup, Wang Fusheng had no choice but to eat it. Then, with a bit of luck, get a few delicious wild fruits as snacks.

"Ata, how long have we been walking for almost half a month, when will we get to our destination? And the employer or something, it seems to be very difficult. Wang Fusheng drank the wild vegetable soup and felt that his mouth was about to fade out of the bird, although he was still gnawing on the barbecue in his mouth. However, the deliciousness of the broth made with the treasure is definitely not comparable to that of wild vegetable soup and grilled meat.

There were also a few fires in the center of the camp, which were the employer herself and her team, and when the fire of the fire was not so cold, Lu Yan, who was thin and had yellow hair, would get out of the carriage and sit next to the fire to eat. And what he ate was steamed buns that made Wang Fusheng drool, and this thing was definitely a luxury in the Great Yan Empire.

Wang Fusheng ran around with gluttonous insects, and asked Sister-in-law Zhou to make mutton steamed buns for herself every day after the game. The kitchen is full of smell, Sister-in-law Zhou has opened a small stove to eat something else, and Wang Fusheng has turned the mutton steamed bun into a beef steamed bun, in short, it is dry with the steamed bun.

In fact, there is one thing that Wang Fusheng doesn't understand very much, that is, the employer took the patient to the mountains for nothing, although the reason given was to ask for medicine. But leave the patient outside and come in yourself to ask for medicine. Wouldn't it be good to return to the hospital for treatment when you get it, there is no need to drag the patient to the mountains, right? If there's an accident or something. It's not about saving people, it's about harming people.

"It's almost there, it's three days away. We're halfway there. The head of the regiment said that when you go back to this mission, your commission will be increased by 30%. As for who the employer is, I don't know what it is, so I asked the head of the regiment, and the head of the regiment also taught me not to ask indiscriminately. However, the one who can eat steamed buns must be nobles, and the carriage is not simple, it must be Miss Gongzi from a big city. "Atta can't say it's drinking soup, it's pouring soup. A large bowl of wild vegetable soup bottomed out as soon as he tilted his neck, and then he couldn't get enough of saying another bowl.

"What kind of monster is it, let's run so far, and bring so many people?" Wang Fusheng asked curiously.

"I know this, the head of the regiment ordered it a few days ago. It is a two-level fire python demon beast. It is said that the girl is the younger sister of the employer, and she has been poisoned by a negative one, and she needs something from the red sun to neutralize the poison and save her life, and the poison of the fire python is fire poison, and the python is born a cold-blooded animal, although this fire poison is highly poisonous, but it does not burst and is also used for medicine. Atta spoke.

"Oh, I see." Wang Fusheng nodded and began to bury his head in eating, ready to eat and sleep quickly, in order to catch up with work a few days ago, Wang Fusheng had not slept well for several days. In the eyes of others, Wang Fusheng is just a weak repairman, so he doesn't need to be a sentry, so Wang Fusheng is ready to sleep well.

Well? After eating, Wang Fusheng returned to his tent and prepared to sleep, but when he opened the tent first and went in, he paused and turned his head suspiciously to look into the darkness in the distance. A pitch-black light flashed from Wang Fusheng's eyes, and the pitch-black that originally blocked the line of sight disappeared in an instant, and Wang Fusheng swept all the distant scenery in his eyes.

"Is it a delusion?" There was nothing, which made Wang Fusheng stunned for a moment, and then shook his head and got into the tent. However, if Wang Fusheng saw that Lu Zhen, who was originally eating again, also turned his head to look in the direction he was looking at just now, he would not think so. Lu Zhen's strength was much higher than Wang Fusheng's, but when he looked into the distance in confusion, he didn't see anything like Wang Fusheng. However, unlike Wang Fusheng, who thought he was delusional, Lu Zhen's brows furrowed.

"What's the matter?" Lu Yan looked up and asked when she noticed her brother's movements.

"Nothing, possibly optical illusion. However, at night, if it is not necessary, you should stay in the carriage and do not come out. Lu Zhen shook his head and said, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Is it someone sent by Big Brother?" Hearing Lu Zhen's words, Lu Yan's original pale face became even paler, and she shrank back and looked around in some fear.

"Don't scare yourself, maybe I'm wrong. That's our eldest brother, if he dares to go so far, isn't he afraid that our father will pass on the throne of the son to others? Lu Zhen touched Lu Yan's withered yellow hair and comforted, but when he talked about 'big brother' and 'daddy', the words were very heavy, the front title was full of killing intent, and the latter title was full of resentment, obviously he was dissatisfied with the handling of his father's own sister's poisoning.
