Chapter 2 The Way Forward
"We brought two horses for supplies, and one of them had to be ridden by this kid......"
Daozi looked angrily at Zheng Xie, who was walking side by side with Ye Ying in front of the team, and wanted to go up and kick him off the horse.
Ye Ying is the girl who is called "Shangjia" by Uncle Li.
In this Ansan region, the people surnamed Ye can be said to be the most noble lineage, because they are different from other local clans in Ansan, they are branches of the outside world.
In the vast expanse of Dongbai, there are many tribes, and some of these large tribes will also disperse many branches to remote areas, such as Ansan, in order to spread their branches.
This Ye Ying was originally the only daughter of the head of the Ye family in Ansan, but when the clan supervised and came to Ansan for consideration, he discovered her unusual qualifications and gave her a test:
If she can return to her own clan land alone from Xianghuan City, she will be able to obtain unimaginably rich resources in the clan land and cultivate her into a spiritual cultivator who dominates the world.
Spirituality is the term given to those who are detached from the mundane. It is said that spirituality can move mountains and reclaim the sea, or it can reach the heavens and the earth, and even the king of a dynasty has to grovel in the face of spiritual power.
If you can become a spiritual cultivator, why worry about the Ye family in Anshan? This is Ye Ying's original plan.
The Ye family spent a lot of money, so they invited the "mountain tower" with the best strength in Anshan to escort Ye Ying to Xianghuan City safely. Because in the test, since Xianghuan City, she Ye Ying can no longer rely on the strength of the family, but the surname Ye will also provide her with solid protection from then on.
Naturally, the section of the road in front of Xianghuan City is the most important thing.
Don't look at the people in the team who don't seem to have any skills, but the youngest knife is the first person in Ansan's broadsword, even the man who calls himself "Green Snake" who always speaks with a somewhat joking tone is also a master assassin on the famous side of Ansan.
Killing to stop killing, this is the idea of the Asanye family.
If you count Uncle Li and the woman...... I'm afraid that there are no people around Ansan who dare to touch the minds of this team.
"Zheng Xie, do you live in this mountain range by yourself?"
Ye Ying blinked at Zheng Xie, who was intently nibbling on a piece of bread.
Zheng Xie glanced at her and said vaguely:
"It's no exaggeration to say that this mountain range is no different from my home. ”
Ye Ying didn't seem to believe it:
"The largest mountain range in the Anshan region is this area, stretching for hundreds of miles, can you have such a ability?"
Zheng Xie put down the baked cake in his hand, and seemed to smile:
"Why, you don't believe me?"
Ye Ying nodded seriously:
"I don't believe it. ”
The corners of Zheng Xie's mouth raised, then he looked at Uncle Li in front of him, and said meaningfully:
"Do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Ye Ying said curiously:
"What bet?"
Zheng Xie smiled:
"That Uncle Li of yours...... After three breaths, he will fall off his horse. ”
Ye Ying was stunned for a moment, then looked at Uncle Li in front of him with a suspicious face, and whispered:
"One...... 2. ......"
The word "three" did not come out, but the horse under Uncle Li's crotch was suddenly shocked, and then neighed in horror, and even more churned and jumped like crazy, even if Uncle Li was extraordinary, he couldn't withstand a BMW with foreign blood so tossed, so he could only be forced to jump to the ground and watch his horse turn around and run away with fear.
Ye Ying opened her small mouth, and she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"What's going on?!"
Green Snake and the others were also shocked by this sudden situation, and hurriedly stopped their horses.
Zheng Xie looked lazy, and even stretched his waist:
"There's a spotted bear king's territory ahead, and it's so fierce that even horses with foreign blood will flee in terror when they smell it. ”
Uncle Li looked back and said in disbelief:
"The Spotted Bear King?"
Zheng Xie nodded, and nodded in one direction:
"No, this is it. ”
Before Uncle Li could react, he heard a fishy roar, which made people involuntarily feel fearful. Everyone followed the roar, and they saw a black and white bear as large as a tree high, shuttling through the trees, running towards everyone!
"Protect the upper house!"
Uncle Li shouted, and everyone moved, all of them drew their weapons in a very short time, and then protected Ye Ying's surrounding position to prevent the Spotted Bear King from suddenly attacking.
At this time, Zheng Xie was still smiling and popularizing science to the pale-faced Ye Ying:
"In this mountain range, the forces of the fierce beasts are intricate, and the Spotted Bear King happens to be the one with the strongest territorial awareness, so-"
"Boy!"
Uncle Li shouted, his eyes full of anxiety:
"Is there anything you can do?"
Even if they were the most pinnacle grandmasters in Anshan, they were not sure of victory in the face of fierce beasts that already had spirituality.
The beast is not only violent, but also terrifying to the scalp numb, not to say that it is a claw to break the mountain stone, even if it is a tooth tearing gold and iron, it is not impossible!
Zheng Xie raised his eyebrows:
"Of course there is, but I'm afraid you won't dare to use it. “
Uncle Li stared at the spotted bear moving at high speed, and spoke a lot faster:
"Less nonsense! Say it quickly if you have a way! It's not fun to wait for that guy to come!"
Zheng Xie smiled weirdly:
"Okay, then please put away your weapons. ”
At this moment, everyone, including Ye Ying, thought that they had heard it wrong, and Uncle Li couldn't believe it:
"What did you say?!"
Zheng Xie said impatiently:
"Put all your weapons away! How much can those mortal irons do against a ferocious beast?"
The green snake and the knife looked at each other, and then they all looked at Uncle Li, waiting for him to give an order.
Uncle Li looked at the menacing spotted bear, and then at Zheng Xie, who seemed to have an inexplicable confidence, as if he was moved by him, gritted his teeth and said:
"Shut it up!"
At this time, the team's good sense of command was reflected, and even though the danger was ahead, everyone chose to follow the instructions without hesitation.
Uncle Li looked at the giant bear with a solemn face, and secretly made a plan in his heart:
"What if that kid is just talking nonsense...... Even if you sacrifice yourself, you have to protect your family!"
The spotted bear jumped on the rocks, shaking the ground and trembling, and leaving shallow marks on the rocks it passed, which was enough to show its horror.
Ye Ying's face was extremely pale, and the horse she was riding had already thrown off her and fled, but she did not choose to turn around and run, but chose to believe in the four people arranged by the Ye family.
However, to everyone's surprise, this fierce giant bear, when approaching everyone, actually gradually slowed down, and finally stopped five feet in front of everyone, and let out a threatening roar.
Zheng Xie's voice sounded again:
"Put away your murderous aura, don't look into its eyes, and step back step by step. ”
Uncle Li was immersed in shock, and when he heard this, he also said in a low voice:
"According to him!"
Several members of the team tried their best to restrain their aura as Zheng Xie said, not allowing the murderous aura that had been cultivated for a long time to leak out, and at the same time avoided the eye contact with the giant bear, and retreated step by step.
"Slow down, don't look too scared, but don't show any aggression either. ”
Zheng Xie's voice had an inexplicable reassuring taste, which made Green Snake and the others all be calm, and their steps were more calm.
The giant bear roared a few more times, and it seemed that it really had no desire to attack, and after seeing everyone slowly retreating, it also hesitated for a moment, let out a demonstrative roar again, and then slowly turned away.
"Don't worry, wait for it to go away. “
Zheng Xie reminded him.
It was only when the palpitating sense of fear gradually dissipated and the roar of the spotted bear faded away that everyone dared to raise their heads and look around.
The spotted bear really retreated!
Ye Ying's heart was full of joy for the rest of her life after the catastrophe, and she was about to turn her head and say something to Zheng Xie, but she was unexpectedly dragged away, and when Ye Ying stood still, she found that she was dragged aside by Uncle Li.
At this time, the four people in the "Mountain Tower" all gathered around Uncle Li and looked at Zheng Xie opposite vigilantly.
Zheng Xie looked at these people with murderous intent, and didn't seem to be much afraid, but felt a little funny, so he lay on the back of the horse and looked at everyone with a smile, and asked:
"What, you want to play a trick of cooking rabbits and dead dogs, and hiding all the birds?"
The green snake sneered:
"Oh, if you were really that lackey, you wouldn't be so wary of us......"
Ye Ying was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but look at Uncle Li eagerly:
"Uncle Li, what are you doing here? Didn't he just save us?"
Uncle Li's face was gloomy:
"Shangjia, you take a few steps back, we have something we want to ask this little brother. ”
Ye Ying still wanted to speak, so she was protected by the green snake.
Uncle Li took a step forward, stared into Zheng Xie's eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"No wonder we're so rude, after all, you have too many suspicions. ”
Zheng Xie nodded nonchalantly:
"It's okay, you can ask whatever you want, I don't care. ”
Uncle Li also bowed slightly:
"First of all, you said that you live alone in this mountain forest, and you seem to know all about the fierce beasts in this mountain forest, and the information you know is by no means something that can be obtained from a distance alone...... I can't figure it out, if you don't have a little strength to be around, how can you survive after coming into close contact with those fierce beasts?"
Zheng Xie had a hint of banter in his eyes:
"Going on, I answered all the questions that were more convenient. ”
The knife also came out of the team, with a solemn face:
"On this cold month, we all have to protect our bodies with layers of clothes so that our hands and feet will not be stiff, but you are only wearing a shabby linen robe, and you still look at ease. ”
The green snake also sneered and said:
"What's even stranger, why did our horses run away when they saw that spotted bear, while your horse stayed put?"
The mandarin spider, that is, the woman among the four people in the "Mountain Tower", also said softly:
"We didn't meet a single beast along the way, but the previous section was full of birds and beasts...... And our horses were only startled by the spotted bear when they came here, indicating that its territory did not include the previous journey...... And the spotted bear noticed us and rushed so quickly to the edge of his territory that it looked like it was ......"
The mandarin spider paused and continued:
"Nervous. ”
Uncle Li took a deep breath and asked a crucial sentence:
"What the hell are you?"
