Chapter 1104: Difficult to Walk
After surviving the cold wind all night, Zhang Yulong went to find a job to earn some entanglement on the road, but unfortunately the situation in this city was worse than the first city, there was no place to recruit workers, and Zhang Yulong, who had nothing to gain, even envied the refugees who begged for food, and finally had no choice but to exchange some food with his clothes, barely filling his stomach and setting off again.
After leaving the city, Zhang Yulong hoped to hunt some fierce beasts on the road to eat, but there was no trace of the fierce beasts near this official road, and Zhang Yulong did not dare to go to the forest a little far away from the official road, so he could only wait for some low-level fierce beasts to be sent to the door in a safe place.
After waiting in that place for a long time, he waited for an ordinary fierce beast, but because of impulsiveness, Zhang Yulong let the fierce beast run away, and in the end, Zhang Yulong, who found nothing, saw that the sky was not early, and he was in a dilemma. If you go into the city, you still have to be hungry, if you have a chance to encounter prey again, just like that, Zhang Yulong chose to stay outside, just like when he hunted with Chenghu and them, and spent the night outside, of course, Zhang Yulong is now alone.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, Zhang Yulong was looking for dry firewood everywhere, while carefully looking for low-level fierce beasts, alone outside, what Zhang Yulong was most afraid of was encountering powerful fierce beasts, so that if he didn't find Lin Xuanzhong, his life might not be saved, let alone get ahead in the future.
Anyway, Zhang Yulong's luck is not bad, in the process of looking for dry firewood, Zhang Yulong found some wild fruits that can be eaten, and then sat next to the fire at night, while observing whether there are any fierce beasts approaching, while eating wild fruits and thinking about Lin Xuanzhong.
It has been more than two months since he was separated from Lin Xuanzhong, but Zhang Yulong still remembers Lin Xuanzhong very clearly, Zhang Yulong can feel that Lin Xuanzhong is a good person, and he can also feel the strangeness between the two. After Lin Xuanzhong killed those people from the Qi family, the two of them seemed to be people living in two worlds, and Zhang Yulong knew that there was a big gap between him and Lin Xuanzhong. It's just for the little possibility in his heart, Zhang Yulong still wants to find Lin Xuanzhong, as for what he can do after seeing it, he will wait until he sees it. So, Zhang Yulong turned all the hardships he had endured in the past month into a driving force to move forward, and finally decided to continue to move forward, instead of going back to be laughed at like this, even if Zhang Yulong knew that Chenghu was actually more worried about him and would not laugh at him.
The night passed, and early the next morning, Zhang Yulong went to the city where Lin Xuanzhong stayed before, found a job building houses, and worked for three days to earn some money. Because the city lord in this city relieved the refugees, Zhang Yulong carried a large bag of dry food out of the city smoothly this time, went straight all the way, crossed several cities in a row, and arrived at Jiancheng, crossed the river from the bridge, otherwise it would take some time to earn money, and then cross the river by boat.
There are a lot fewer people in Sword City than before, but as a trading center of this generation, the situation in the city is better than the cities that Zhang Yulong passed through before, and there are more rumors about Lin Xuanzhong circulating here, and when inquiring about Lin Xuanzhong's specific whereabouts, Zhang Yulong knew more about Lin Xuanzhong's deeds. Although Lin Xuanzhong had done many things to harm Sword City, Lin Xuanzhong was still a hero respected by many people in the eyes of them.
The respectful tone of those people when they talked about Lin Xuanzhong made Zhang Yulong envious, and Zhang Yulong knew that it was because Lin Xuanzhong was a strong man. After determining Lin Xuanzhong's whereabouts, Zhang Yulong was looking forward to the Lin Feng he was looking for was Lin Xuanzhong, and on the other hand, he was looking forward to finding Lin Xuanzhong as soon as possible, because there was too much time delayed before.
Fortunately, although the employer in Sword City also gave a low salary, but the job is easy to find, after finding a job in the back kitchen of the inn, Zhang Yulong found a job in a blacksmith shop, during which he was not less coldly looked down upon by other guys, but Zhang Yulong can only keep smiling faces, because this short-term job is too difficult to find, but the wages earned by these two jobs are so meager, in order to make up enough for the coil as soon as possible, Zhang Yulong found another job as a sparring partner.
After three days, Zhang Yulong, who was beaten every day, hurriedly went on the road with a large bag of dry food and a little remaining wages. Hungry to eat dry food, thirsty to drink raw water, because there is no money to live in a hotel and fear that the food will be robbed by refugees, Zhang Yulong does not dare to sleep in the city. After a few days of leaving, all the cleverness in the past was useless, and the idea of hunting outside to satisfy hunger was proven to be unrealistic many times, without enough experience, Zhang Yulong couldn't even control ordinary fierce beasts. More than a month has passed, and the only meat Zhang Yulong can eat is the meat filling in the bun, and he can't touch other meat at all.
Day and night, rain or shine, how hard it is to go straight all the way can only Zhang Yulong himself understand, and Zhang Yulong also knows very well that he does not need to live this kind of starvation, unpredictable life and death, as long as he stays in Yuncheng under the protection of Chenghu and them, even if he is not living well, but at least he can live, but he has already come here, Zhang Yulong can only continue to move forward except for looking forward to Chenghu and they don't worry too much.
From the south of the Sword City to the border of the Blue Country, there are more and more mountains, but there are fewer and fewer cities, Zhang Yulong is more and more likely to encounter danger, but Zhang Yulong has made all kinds of preparations, because to pass through the Blue Country, it is always necessary to take some dangerous sections, so in the last period of leaving the Blue Country, Zhang Yulong is taking the safest route as much as possible, and at the same time constantly inquiring how to enter the Quartet safely.
According to the news I heard recently, Lin Xuanzhong, who was heading south, was likely to have entered the territory of the Sifang Kingdom, and because Lin Xuanzhong would make a sensation everywhere he went, Zhang Yulong knew that as long as he arrived in the Sifang Kingdom, he would definitely be able to find out the latest news about Lin Xuanzhong. With this in mind, Zhang Yulong tried his best to join a mercenary team that was about to go to Divine Sword City to buy enough weapons.
After successfully arriving at Divine Sword City, Zhang Yulong got the latest news about Lin Xuanzhong as he wished, but at that time, Lin Xuanzhong had already left Divine Sword City for more than a month, Zhang Yulong came to Divine Sword City with great difficulty but missed an opportunity to really see Lin Xuanzhong, and now he only knew that Lin Xuanzhong was going south, and his whereabouts became mysterious.
Thinking back on the hardships he had endured in the past two months, Zhang Yulong began to doubt whether his initial decision was wrong, and at the same time he didn't know whether to continue the pursuit, because the Sifang Kingdom was not only a strange place for him, but also the gap between his strength and Lin Xuanzhong, the two would only get farther and farther apart, and it was not difficult for Zhang Yulong to think that when he couldn't find out about Lin Xuanzhong one day, he would have no way out.
Considering the difficulty of finding Lin Xuanzhong, Zhang Yulong clearly realized that coming to Lin Xuanzhong was really just his impulse, and it seemed that it was still too late to turn back, as long as he followed the current mercenary team back, no matter how long it took, he might return to Cloud City. It's just that Zhang Yulong didn't want to go back in his heart, he still wanted to chase after Lin Xuanzhong, who didn't know where to go, and after staying in Shenjian City for a few days, Zhang Yulong finally left the mercenary team quietly without a trace of thought in his heart, and embarked on the road to the south.
This time, Zhang Yulong put all his thoughts on the road, and the journey was quite smooth, but the pressure from his heart was getting bigger and bigger, because there was less and less news about Lin Xuanzhong, and all he could hear was basically the news about Lin Xuanzhong's presence in Divine Sword City, and there was no exact news about Lin Xuanzhong's whereabouts.
Speaking of which, the storm that Lin Xuanzhong set off in Divine Sword City also caused a lot of trouble to Zhang Yulong, and it always made Zhang Yulong understand that the gap in strength between the two was too big. One stands above 10,000 people, and the other lives almost at the bottom, Zhang Yulong has always been very clear that his current appearance and life are like a refugee. Unlike those refugees, it was just that he had been walking, passing through one place after another, all of them were in a hurry, there was no interest in appreciating the scenery along the way, and some were just full of hardships and hardships, Zhang Yulong never thought that in this world, he would live so hard as a third-order martial cultivator.
It was also when he arrived in the Sifang Country that Zhang Yulong fully understood that what Cheng Hu said before was right, he shouldn't have come to Lin Xuanzhong, in the case of increasing problems, Zhang Yulong's will to find Lin Xuanzhong was no longer so firm, and there were many doubts in his heart, which made Zhang Yulong feel more and more that the distance between him and Lin Xuanzhong was getting farther and farther, but what remained unchanged was that no matter how hesitating, Zhang Yulong still did not look back, as if desperate to find Lin Xuanzhong, trekked through mountains and rivers, crossed the vast sea of people, left the Sifang Country and entered a war-torn land, an area that was more dangerous than all the places he had walked before, but after arriving here, he recognized the danger, Zhang Yulong, who was mentally numb, could no longer recognize clearly.
When Zhang Yulong left the Sifang Kingdom, Lin Xuanzhong had already left the Divine Sword City for more than two months, and he was no longer in the territory of the Sifang Kingdom, but there were more and more rumors about Lin Xuanzhong in the Sifang Kingdom. On the fourth day that Lin Xuanzhong left Divine Sword City, on the day of the end of the Divine Sword Martial Arts, the Chen family had already obtained all the information about Lin Xuanzhong in the Blue Country, including the fact that Lin Feng might be Lin Xuanzhong.
That incident was the second shocking thing after Lin Xuanzhong's extraordinary performance in the Divine Sword Martial Arts, and judging from the rumors, Lin Feng could indeed be Lin Xuanzhong. Although they didn't know why Lin Xuanzhong didn't die and why he didn't return to the army, this didn't affect them to deduce that Lin Feng, who showed his skills in the Excalibur Martial Arts, was Lin Xuanzhong, because "Lin Feng" not only knew physical skills, but also body techniques, and that incredible body technique was not something that anyone could practice.
