Chapter XVIII

Three days later, Gu Xuan, who looked a little bad, came to the gate of the imperial capital. The people around them all pointed their fingers, as if they regarded Gu Xuan as a beggar looking at the imperial capital to beg, but none of them noticed that Gu Xuan's eyes shot out a blazing cold star.

The city of Longxi is in the northwest of Ruyao, and the imperial capital is in the center of the connection. Of course, Gu Xuan didn't plan to enter the imperial capital, but the diagonal path was the shortest. However, the next area from the imperial capital diagonally to Longbei City was heard to be very "dangerous".

First of all, it is necessary to cross a large forest in the northwest, and then cross a dangerous mountain forest, and at the foot of the mountain is Longxi City. Generally, the caravan in the territory of Ruyao will go to Longxi City, and it will also reach the imperial capital from the diagonal, and then go around the rectangular path to reach Longxi City.

The reason for this is the barren mountains and mountains marked on the map. By the way, the map is purchased in the town on the go. The danger of the Great Forest in the Northwest was also known from the mercenaries there, and I heard that there would be very terrible dangerous species, and as for the super dangerous species, they have all been eliminated.

After replenishing the dry food, Gu Xuan continued to set off, did not enter the imperial capital, and went to the Northwest Great Forest. If anyone knew Gu Xuan's thoughts, I was afraid that their jaws would drop in shock. Not to mention that this distance is more than 1,000 kilometers, how many days it takes to walk. The endless beasts alone were enough for any powerful mercenary group to dare not pass through here.

When twilight fell, Gu Xuan, who walked into the Great Forest in the Northwest, used H60's perception to judge the surrounding situation all the way to exercise his perception ability.

Not long after, the sound of leaves rustling in front of me was heard. Gu Xuan immediately took out his twin knives vigilantly, and suddenly a 2-meter-tall giant bear rushed out in front of him.

What a big guy, Gu Xuan rolled on a donkey to avoid his collision, and then jumped for life, jumping and looking at its head.

The giant bear let out a cry of pain, and frantically waved its bear claws in an attempt to shoot Gu Xuan. However, Gu Xuan used Wanli Fly, spread a pair of wings behind his back, and flew high into the sky of the giant bear.

As if it had been rained, dense feathers pierced the body of the giant bear. Scratched one fur after another, revealing hideous blood marks.

Finally, the swoop came to its head again, its muscles tensed, and the twin knives burst out with all their might, and the giant bear fell to the ground in blood. The sound startled the birds perched in the surrounding trees, and for a moment the chickens and dogs flapped their wings and flew away.

Gu Xuan killed this giant bear that should be considered a dangerous species very easily, and the training during this period of time made him more proficient in the use of knives and the methods of using strength.

Putting away the twin knives, Gu Xuan took out another pitch-black short knife. He then proceeded to dissect the bear's carcass and cut out all the flesh that could be eaten. This is also the reason why Gu Xuan looks messy, after all, this move will inevitably stain his clothes a little.

After a while, the blood in the bear's body spilled on the ground, and he also cut the pieces of meat and put them in the bag he bought. There happened to be a stream ahead, and Gu Xuan started today's lunch after cleaning the meat pieces.

Looking at the fire that had been lit for a long time, Gu Xuan sighed that it would be good if he could have a fire-based skill. There were also purchased spices in his bag, and two skewers were made with cleaned branches, and Gu Xuan had a barbecue feast.

Although Gu Xuan can cook, cooking in the wilderness is a big problem. On the first day, Gu Xuan also grilled the meat pieces so black that he couldn't eat them at all. Now after a workout, it looks very attractive.

Dissecting, surviving in the wild, this is Gu Xuan's ascetic training.

Gu Xuan took a bath by the creek, scrubbed his clothes clean, and hung them on nearby pebbles to dry. Sprinkle the blood of a giant bear around the fire, and no wild beast will come at night. The light of the flames and the blood of the dangerous bear make the beast fearful.

After a whole day's journey, Gu Xuan speculated that he had come to the center of the Northwest Great Forest. 1,000 kilometers, if fatigue is not taken into account, a normal person in the Crimson Pupil hikes for about 120 hours, that is, about five days. However, Gu Xuan is not an ordinary person, his walking speed is the same as running in the eyes of ordinary people. Therefore, Gu Xuan of the Northwest Great Forest originally planned to pass through it in less than two days.

......

The scorching sun was shining, and Gu Xuan looked at the towering mountain forest behind a river in front of him, and knew that he had passed through the Great Northwest Forest.

Suddenly, Gu Xuan sensed a dense sound of stamping in the distance on the left. He was vigilant, and hurriedly hid to the right side of a large boulder, restrained his breath, and tried to make his breath as secret.

In a short time, a group of about thirty people came out of the forest and came to the river.

"Master Cyber, according to the information we have received, the bandits should be hiding somewhere in the forest on the other side." A middle-aged man with dark orange hair stood at the front of the group, in dark red armor, holding a saber in his hand.

After hearing the report of his subordinates, he waved his big hand and raised his voice: "Next, always be vigilant against the attack of bandits, and be sure not to cause casualties." ”

"Yes!"

After hearing the answers of his subordinates in unison, the group began to cross the river.

Gu Xuan, who was hiding on the right side of the stone, touched his chin thoughtfully. The gang was very well equipped, all of them had good weapons and armor, plus their mental outlook.

On the side of the revolutionary army, it can be ruled out that after all, this place is very close to the emperor, and it is impossible for a small group of more than 30 people to appear here. And sensing the purpose of their mouths, it seems that it is just a crusade against a gang of fleeing bandits.

Then it can be judged that this group of people should be the troops of the Imperial Army. The Imperial Army's troops were divided into many kinds, and it was difficult for Gu Xuan to judge which unit this group of people was.

Gu Xuan glanced at the towering mountains and forests, in fact, if he used the help of flying thousands of miles to catch the last journey, he should be able to reach Longbei City at the foot of the mountain before midnight. However, the presence of this group disrupted his plans, and it would have been too much time to get around from the other side.

So after the group crossed the river and stayed out of sight, Gu Xuan flew across the river and secretly followed the footprints to chase after them. Out of curiosity, he walked through the Northwest Forest with all odds just to defeat a group of bandits. To be honest, Gu Xuan didn't think things were so simple.

And even if it's really just a crusade against a group of bandits, he can also take the opportunity to fly thousands of miles to the top of the mountain when this group of people is fighting with the bandits. In the heat of battle, he thought that no one would have the time to pay attention to a figure passing by in the sky.

In this way, after following for three hours, the group came to the middle of the mountain forest, and they stopped walking. Because directly ahead, a simple camp was built. There were twenty or so men in the camp, their clothes in tatters, and rusty weapons around them.

The people in the camp are undoubtedly fleeing bandits.

The leader named Cyber raised a hand and watched the action, and his subordinates drew their weapons one after another, ready to order.

With a heavy swing of one hand, it made a dull sound through the air. At the same time, the subordinates behind him, armed with weapons, rushed to the camp and launched a surprise attack!
