The young man probably didn't expect Nie Yan to have such an attitude, no matter how amazing he was in his heart, he was still a little scared.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked up at Nie Yan's expression.

The eyes are cold and unfazed.

The more this happens, the more it proves that you can really get started.

No one would not care for their own life, thinking about it, the young man couldn't help but take a step back.

Nie Yan put away his sword, turned around and continued to move forward, he was not really thirsty for killing, he just wanted to solve the trouble in a simple and effective way.

Even if it's rough, even if it's bad for your reputation.

But is it famous? Is this something you care about? In the year since he reappeared in the rivers and lakes, his indifferent and direct style of acting has already left a strong trace in the circle of demon hunters.

That is, Nie Yan is fiery and ruthless under the sword, not only against monsters, if it is not necessary, you must not provoke it.

If you go down from the outside of the building, if you take the north road, you will enter the city.

Walking from the south road, it is to go down to the river, and take a ferry from the river, you can directly go to many places from this city, which is a relatively prosperous waterway.

It's just that no one ever asked for a transition to the river.

Just because the opposite side of this river is a vast barren mountain, there are many legends about this barren mountain.

Some are weird and fantastical, and some are magnificent with a hint of ambiguity.

But in any case, it was not a place where humans could tread lightly, even the beasts in it, and even the best hunters could only operate on the outskirts of the barren mountains.

Nie Yan led his yellow horse all the way down the mountain along the south road and found a boatman, but he wanted to cross the river.

"Take this horse with you?" It was the first time for the boatman to hear that a guest had such a request, and he couldn't help but feel strange.

In fact, the other side of the river is not completely deserted, and there are still some hunters who go hunting in the mountains.

It's just that the hunters all live in nearby villages and have their own ferries, and they never talk about crossing the river in this city, and this guest is just a simple sword, not like a hunter, and what is even more strange is that he has to cross the river with a horse?

"Well, take this horse with you." Nie Yan replied a little absent-mindedly, but in fact, his eyes fell on the road behind him.

One after another, there were pedestrians carrying packages on their backs, wanting to take this waterway, but they didn't expect the young man to follow.

"Young man, don't blame the old man for not reminding you that the barren mountains on the other side of the river are full of danger. Not to mention the ferocious beast, even the poisonous insects and reptiles are enough to kill people, and someone has seen a huge snake there, which can swallow a person in one bite. ”

"It doesn't matter." Nie Yan clenched his fists to thank the old man for his reminder, but he took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to him.

This silver is not to say that it is enough to cross the river, even if it is along the waterway, it is enough to go to a distant city.

Naturally, the boatman didn't want to ask much, and it was not difficult for a horse to follow him across the river, so for the sake of the silver, he nodded and agreed.

But at this moment, the young man who had been threatened by Nie Yan's sword suddenly ran towards this side, ran in front of Nie Yan, smiled flatteringly, and still had the previous blood marks on his neck, and followed Nie Yan to the boat without saying a word.

Nie Yan glanced at him indifferently, after all, it was not good to attack in front of this boatman, so he could only follow him.

After all, there were doubts in his heart, and if he insisted on keeping up like this, he wanted to see what he was going to do.

And when the young man saw that Nie Yan didn't get angry, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, after all, he didn't dare to get too close to Nie Yan, so he could only watch Nie Yan standing at the bow of the boat, and he was standing far away at the stern.

This inexplicable thing, the boatman felt a little strange, but he didn't dare to ask more and more.

In this world, there is a kind of people called Jianghu people, and ordinary people will not provoke them.

At this time, it is late autumn, and the water that rose in the summer has almost completely receded.

As a result, the river, which seemed to be quite wide at that time, has become much narrower, and the rapid current has become gentler.

Therefore, crossing the river is not a cup of tea.

When he got off the boat, Nie Yan ignored the young man, led the yellow horse, and walked alone on the barren and bleak river beach.

In his heart, he was silently thinking about one thing, the big demon situation he had to face this time was quite special, and it was supposed to be the monster he had done before Nie Yan.

But there is one thing that is more convenient, that is, as long as the demon trace is confirmed, there will be no worry about the big demon running away.

It's just that in this vast barren mountain, it is not very easy to determine the location of the big demon, and you can only move forward slowly according to the approximate location you know, and you have to use some means.

Nie Yan's feet were not slow, thinking about his thoughts like this, he gradually entered the barren mountain.

And time seemed to pass quickly, after crossing the river after lunch, Nie Yan's footsteps were just a mountain, and the day gradually darkened.

The dusk of late autumn is also very short, even if it is a demon hunter, he will not choose to wander the barren mountains at night, there are too many uncertain factors.

Nie Yan glanced at the sky, found a place not far from the leeward and water, and decided to spend the night like this tonight.

Thinking about it, he lit a fire, arranged a simple formation, tied the yellow horse to the tree next to him, found out the dry food and sat down, and then remembered that for a long time, there was no trace of the young man.

"Where will it go?" Nie Yan frowned slightly.

It's not that I am concerned about the safety of that young man, after all, they are all demon hunters, so they won't die like this in the mountains and forests during the day.

Nie Yan just thought that this young man's whereabouts were too weird, and what was the conspiracy?

After experiencing the incident of his younger siblings being tied up, Nie Yan's heart has become a very sensitive cordon, and it is difficult to relax.

Although he was so vigilant, Nie Yan still looked very indifferent on the surface, eating dry food and drinking water at the same time, seemingly resting very easily.

Just as he was halfway through the dry food, there was a sound of footsteps in the woods not far away.

At this time, the sunset had faded, the sky was already a faint light ink, and the vision was not so good, but Nie Yan only glanced up, then lowered his head and continued to eat dry food, just put the sword on his lap and gently approached him a little.

After only a few breaths, I watched the young man come out of the woods, dressed in clothes, carrying a fat hare in his hand, and a small fish pierced by soft branches hanging from his waist, which must have been a crucian carp.

Nie Yan didn't make a sound, held the sword in his arms, leaned against the tree behind him and began to close his eyes.

The young man originally smiled flatteringly, but when he saw Nie Yan's indifference, he had to shut up stupidly.

According to the rules of the demon hunter, it is not possible to walk lightly to the formation arranged by others, unless they are very familiar with each other, if they are unfamiliar, it is a kind of provocation to rashly break into the formation arranged by others.

Therefore, the young man could only stop a few meters away.

didn't dare to talk to Nie Yan, but he lowered his head and got busy.

Nie Yan originally wanted to close his eyes and recuperate, but he didn't want the young man's voice to be loud, but it was also quite annoying.

If it was in the city, Nie Yan would be polite.

But the demon hunter has a rule that is even more strange, once you are in the wild, you can't restrict the movement of others, because it is very likely that you are going for the same monster, how can you fight with each other?

This is also because there were a lot of big fights between each other for the same monster, and it actually caused an iron rule of infighting.

When he got to the wild, Nie Yan naturally wouldn't disobey it, not because he was afraid of anything, but because he felt that if that was the case, it would be too domineering for him to do so.

Therefore, I could only endure this annoyance and continue to lean on the trunk.

The night deepened, and slowly, the movement on the young man's side became smaller, only the crackling sound of firewood remained, but gradually an extremely intoxicating aroma wafted in.

Nie Yan just ate a meal of dry food and clear water for dinner, and when he smelled this fragrance, he couldn't help but open his eyes after all.

But he saw that the young man had made a fire at some point, and that there was a copper pot on the fire, and in the pot fish soup was boiling, and beside the fire was a thick branch, on which was a roasted, golden rabbit.

"And this kind of craftsmanship?" Nie Yan wondered in his heart, which demon hunter was not a random general in the wild? This young man is good, he can make such a delicious aroma and temptation, what is he carrying?

Probably sensing Nie Yan's gaze, the young man raised his head and smiled at Nie Yan friendly.

Nie Yan nodded, but he didn't draw his sword as unceremoniously as at noon, after all, others had repeatedly shown favor.

Then, the young man picked up the rabbit, tore off half of it neatly, and then carefully walked outside Nie Yan's formation, stretched out his hand and handed it to Nie Yan.

Nie Yan didn't move, just looked at him silently.

The young man was afraid that Nie Yan would suspect something, so he picked up the rabbit and took a big bite, and then muttered, "It's not poisonous, eat it with confidence." This can't be eaten outside, it's baked by my secret method, with the addition of wild honey and the best rice wine to bake this taste. ”

Nie Yan finally spoke: "I'm not afraid that you will be poisoned, but that it will be useless." You've followed me, and now it's time for you to tell me why you're following me, right? In the wilderness, I will not do anything to you, but if you follow like this, I will still do the same to you when you get to the city. Why are you doing this? ”

When the young man heard Nie Yan's words, he was silent at first, and then he looked up at Nie Yan and said, "Do you know that among the demon hunters, I admire you the most, and in your depressed days, I am not less sad than your family?" ”

Nie Yan's expression didn't change much, but said lightly: "There is a reason for everything in the world, and you speak like this, but it makes people suspicious." ”

"Then Brother Nie, do you still remember the Jiao Demon you killed with your own hands a few years ago?" As if he had made up his mind, the young man suddenly spoke.
