Chapter Ninety-Seven: Walking Through the Fortress
Bai Rui's big dark eyes blinked a few times in a row, the cherry opened her mouth wide, and even the steps under her feet stopped, and her eyes were full of incredulity looking at Xia Yan.
Because, Xia Yan is not wrong at all, the types and quantities of medicinal materials and ores marked on this illustrated book are just as Xia Yan said. However, how did Xia Yan write down all of this in less than half a day?
"You...... You must have read the illustrated book before, right?" Thinking about it, Bai Rui's little head could only think of this one possibility, if someone could write down such a thick illustrated book in such a short time, it was too unbelievable.
Xia Yan shook his head and smiled and said, "If I had seen it before, I wouldn't have spent one gold coin or five silver coins to buy it again." ”
Bai Rui's head lowered, and his mind turned, too, if he had seen the illustrated book before, why did he buy it again? More than a gold coin, but he could buy a lot of things, who would waste it?
"What's wrong with you?"
Xia Yan couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw Bai Rui as if she was about to cry.
Bai Rui pursed her little red lips and said slowly: "At that time, my brother asked me to write down all the medicinal materials and ores on the illustrated book, and it took me three months, and I asked my brother to knock it many times." But you...... You ......"
Bai Rui is really sad, this Xia Yan's memory is much better than his own.
Hearing Bai Rui say this, Xia Yan couldn't help laughing, this little girl is really cute.
..................
At noon, everyone finally saw the fortress, a magnificent and huge structure that completely separated the Forest of Sin from the Dragon Continent. After passing through the only exit from the fortress through the passage where everyone was walking, there was the treacherous Forest of Sin.
Every day, countless cultivators enter the Forest of Sin through here. Some people went, bringing back priceless treasures and feats that symbolized glory, while others went and never came back.
More than twenty mercenaries, protecting a wide black carriage, slowly passed through the magnificent fortress.
"It's really shocking!" Xia Yan couldn't help but lose his mind slightly when he saw this vast and boundless forest of sin for the first time.
As far as the eye can see, there is no edge of the jungle, and I don't know how many dangers exist in it. Xia Yan's blood slowly boiled, and the first time he came to the Forest of Sin, Xia Yan couldn't help but be excited. The scenery that is directly connected to the sky by the black pressure makes people's hearts feel free.
If it weren't for the fact that there were many mercenaries around, Xia Yan really wanted to shout out the pride in his heart.
"Hehe, Brother Xia Yan, don't be nervous, this is still the edge of the Sin Forest, there will be no danger, even if there are wild beasts, it will not be very fierce. After we have penetrated dozens of miles, we will encounter all the ferocious beasts. After passing through the fortress, Bai Hua approached Xia Yan and Bai Rui at his feet, and said with a smile.
Xia Yan nodded, "I don't know if we'll run into spirit beasts!"
"Spirit beast?" Bai Hua's eyes flashed, "Brother Xia Yan, spirit beasts are very difficult to encounter, if we really do, then we will all be finished." The strength of the spirit beast is not something we can compete with at all. ”
The Forest of Sin is very vast, and spirit beasts are not so easy to encounter. As long as it doesn't go too deep, the danger to cultivators won't be very great. Ordinary beasts were not enough to pose a mortal threat to cultivators.
While the two were talking, the children of the Lu family, who had been sitting in the carriage, also got off the carriage, because the mountains and forests in front of them could no longer continue to travel.
"Brother, how many miles have we been the farthest away?" Bai Rui asked on the side.
Bai Hua thought for a while, his eyes flashed and said: "It should be fifty miles deep, after fifty miles deep, there are already a lot of fierce beasts infested." With our strength, going 50 miles deep is already the limit, and going deeper will be very dangerous. ”
"Let's use a little dry food, and then we'll go into the Forest of Sin!"
At this time, a child of the Lu family spoke up.
He's an employer, and what he asks him to do, everyone will do it. Everyone took out their own dry food, found a convenient place to sit down and ate it.
It's not the first time anyone has done such a task, so there's nothing unaccustomed to it.
In the jungle hundreds of meters ahead, there were a pair of fierce eyes looking at everyone.
These people, all in black suits, held weapons with cold light in their hands.
"Big brother, the little slut who cut off my arm is in the group of people in front. A man with a broken arm said fiercely, his vicious gaze staring straight ahead. In his line of sight, Xia Yan and the others were clearly visible. This person is the man who teased Bai Rui in the tavern yesterday.
"Well, there are twenty-five people in total! It seems that these people are very skilled!" the burly man with the giant axe in his hand changed his eyes, nodded and groaned.
"Big brother, we have more than 100 brothers, and we are afraid of more than 20 of them? The man with the broken arm was slightly stunned, and then said hurriedly.
"Haha, of course we are not afraid of them, but if we really kill them, these people are very strong, and I am afraid that the brothers will have to die a lot. Your revenge for your severed arm is naturally to be avenged, let me think about it......" The giant axe man touched his chin, his eyes flashed, and behind him, more than a hundred men in black were all ready one by one.
"They're coming!"
The man with the broken arm gritted his teeth, and looked at the more than twenty people who were approaching in his line of sight with hatred.
"Brothers, rush up and surround them!" the giant axe man shouted loudly, and the axe in his hand swung forward violently, and the sharp axe exploded in the air.
The more than a hundred black-clothed men behind him all howled excitedly, rushed out of the jungle, and surrounded Xia Yan and the others.
"Be careful, everyone, there are robbers ahead!"
Bai Hua reacted very quickly, and only heard the sound in front of him, and judged that there were a lot of robbers, and hurriedly shouted to remind everyone.
Everyone is begging for a living on the knife edge, who has not had blood on their hands? Soon, the twenty mercenaries were already ready to fight with solemn expressions and protect the children of the Lu family inside.
The faces of the Lu family disciples turned a little pale, although they were also holding weapons in their hands, they were a little dazed, and their arms were trembling slightly.
"Bai Hua, what should we do?" a Lu family disciple recognized Bai Hua and asked with a hint of panic.
A ray of light burst out from Bai Hua's eyes, and he had already seen the group of black-clothed people rushing out of the dense jungle, and said solemnly: "Rest assured, young masters, we will definitely protect your safety." ”
Xia Yan looked at the black-clothed people who rushed out and said softly.
"What's wrong?" Although Xia Yan's voice was not loud, Bai Rui was very close to him and heard it, and asked with a frown.
"These people seem to be on the same path as the people we met in the bar yesterday. Xia Yan remembered the men who had a conflict with several people in the bar yesterday, and these people were all wearing the same clothes.
Bai Rui also noticed when she heard Xia Yan say this. These robbers, who were howling loudly and waving their weapons, seemed to be on the same path as the people in the bar.
"Grandma, damn it, I'm going to chop these bastards!" Zhang Long shook the big knife in his hand with a coarse voice, and his body was about to rush out.
