Chapter 25, Qingshan Town
"Are you dead?" Zhuge Qingming stood up and slowly walked towards the white-fronted tiger with a hanging neck.
"I guess I'm dead. Ji Fengtian said uncertainly.
Then the two got up and spun around the tiger, Zhuge Qingming kicked it quickly, and then retreated backwards. Standing not far from the tiger, he cautiously stared at the white-fronted tiger with a hanging neck, and after a while, he did not see any movement of the white-fronted tiger.
"Phew~ It seems that he is really dead. Zhuge Qingming secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
"Look, your face is whiter than mine. Seeing that Ji Fengtian was looking at him with strange eyes, Zhuge Qingming said unhappily.
"It's the first time, but it's my hand, unlike some people, I'm so scared that I can't stand up on my legs. ”
"Who are you saying are so scared that you can't stand up on your legs? Zhuge Qingming argued.
"Let's go, we can't stay here any longer, and the smell of blood from the white-fronted tiger will come out in a while, and it will attract other beasts. Ji Fengtian said.
"Hurry up. Zhuge Qingming got up from the ground and turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute, help me with the package. Ji Fengtian threw the package to Zhuge Qingming, holding a dagger in his hand, and quickly cut it on the body of the white-fronted tiger with a hanging neck.
"What are you doing?" asked Zhuge Qingming curiously.
"There should be other beasts in this wood, but the tiger is the king of beasts, so cut off some skins and wait until we find a place to rest, so that no beasts will attack us at night. Ji Fengtian said as he cut quickly.
"I'm convinced, you can think of this. Zhuge Qingming said.
"I also took it, a cultivator of the fifth layer of a dignified martial artist, was actually scared by a white-fronted tiger with a hanging neck, and his legs were weak. Ji Fengtian laughed.
"I'll fight you for this again. Zhuge Qingming glared at Ji Fengtian angrily and said.
"Alright. Ji Fengtian got up and took two tiger skins that were about the same height as them.
"Here you go, find a rope to put on, put it on your body, and since you've done it, you'll see if there's a wild boar or something in it later, and maybe you can eat barbecue." As he spoke, Ji Fengtian wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand.
"Really?" Zhuge Qingming also reached out and wiped the corners of his mouth.
The two quickly draped the tiger skin over their bodies and ran towards the depths of the woods, and not long after they left, several carnivores came to them smelling blood.
I have to say that the luck of the two was good, and they found a wild boar not far away.
Zhuge Qingming rushed up in order to show his strength, and beat the wild boar to death in three or five strokes, and the two found a small stream, disemboweled, disemboweled, cut off a few pieces of the most delicious meat, rinsed them in water, and roasted them on the fire.
Ji Fengtian took out some spices from his own package and smeared them evenly on the meat, and after a while, the roast meat was shiny and fragrant.
"I didn't expect you to even bring seasonings, talent!" Zhuge Qingming said while nibbling on pork.
"You must know that after entering Daqingshan, there will be no dry food, you can only eat meat, or wild fruits, and when the time comes, without these things, you will not starve to death. Ji Fengtian rolled his eyes and said.
"In that case, why do we still have to take the official road, just cross the woods, anyway, we can reach Daqing Mountain. ”
"No, it's too dangerous, and I don't have full confidence that I can cross this forest, after all, there are too many poisonous snakes and beasts in the woods, and it is impossible to prevent it, although we are not afraid, but this will delay our time, and I also want to find a mount on Daqing Mountain to ride first, although the Dayue Snow Horse is the best among the horses, but it is more than a demon beast, when fighting, it is easy to be oppressed by momentum. Ji Fengtian said.
"You're still playing with the idea, but I like it. ”
"Hurry up and eat, rest early after eating, and we have to hurry tomorrow. Ji Fengtian said.
"Do you still have a vigil?" asked Zhuge Qingming.
"No, you can just sleep in peace. Ji Fengtian threw the firewood in his hand into the fire and said.
The night passed quickly, and the next morning, Zhuge Qingming and Ji Fengtian went on the road, but at this moment Zhuge Qingming was quite funny.
Wearing a tiger skin on his body, he also carried a thick pork leg of more than one meter on his shoulder, and walked forward slowly.
"I said, why do you have to take this wild boar leg?" Ji Fengtian asked speechlessly.
"Who let us not eat these things normally, and when we get to the town in a while, we can give the pork leg to the inn and let them process it for us, the taste of wild boar is really good. Zhuge Qingming said slowly.
"Okay, I've served you, in fact, if we have a pot, we can still get some snake soup to eat, why don't you carry a black pot?" Ji Fengtian stretched out his head and asked.
"You're just carrying the black pot, let's eat barbecue. Zhuge Qingming said speechlessly.
The two of them stopped and walked along the way, and ten days passed, and looking at the town not far ahead, they couldn't help but speed up their pace.
"In front of us is the small town of Qingshan, where we will rest today, replenish the items we need, and enter the mountain tomorrow morning. Ji Fengtian said.
"It's finally here, so get a good night's sleep tonight. Tomorrow when we enter the mountain, will we carry or pick up our burden?" asked Zhuge Qingming.
"Take it, this is also a tempering, and when it is critical, you will remove the weight. Ji Fengtian said.
At noon, the two arrived in Qingshan Town, and after entering the town, Ji Fengtian carefully looked at the pedestrians in the town. Many people were found to be armed with weapons, and the streets were lined with stalls selling medicines and weapons.
The two quickly found an inn, left their belongings in the room, and left the inn.
"What are you going to buy this time?" asked Zhuge Qingming.
"Buy some spices, rope, shovels. Ji Fengtian said.
"Don't you buy medicine?" asked Zhuge Qingming curiously.
"No, when I went out, I took some from Grandpa Zhang, whether it was for the treatment of trauma or detoxification. By the way, there are also some *, anesthetics and stuff like that. Ji Fengtian said.
"You're so well prepared, why don't you prepare ropes, shovels, and the like together?" said Zhuge Qingming.
"It's too heavy, and these things are available on the market and easy to buy. Ji Fengtian said.
"What's that one in front, why are there so many people there?" As he spoke, Zhuge Qingming suddenly pointed to a tall building in front of him and said.
"Go check it out. With that, the two of them walked towards the tall building in front of them.
"Two little brothers, what are you doing here?" Just as the two of them walked to the front of the building, a woman stopped the two, Ji Fengtian looked at the visitor, and saw that the woman was in her twenties, wearing a ponytail, wearing a red tights, and a long whip.
"Hello sister, we're here to see what this place is. Zhuge Qingming scratched his head and said.
"The two little brothers aren't locals. The woman said.
"We're here from somewhere else, just got here today. Zhuge Qingming said.
"I see, this is the Mercenary Guild. The woman said.
"Mercenary Guild?" Ji Fengtian asked curiously.
"Hehe, that's the case, there are many big people in the imperial capital who need some medicinal materials, or materials on the demon beasts, and they don't have time to catch them in person, so they issue a task and let us mercenaries help find it. The woman said.
"Sister, are you also a mercenary?" asked Zhuge Qingming curiously.
"That's right, my sister is also a mercenary, are the two little brothers going to issue a mission?" the woman said, looking at the two of them.
"We're not here to post tasks, we're here to train. Zhuge Qingming said.
"Are you the children of a noble?" the woman asked, surprised.
"No, we're just kids of the normal family. Ji Fengtian suddenly interjected.
"Children of ordinary families?" The woman didn't seem to believe it, and looked at Ji Fengtian and the two of them carefully, and saw that the two of them were covered in animal skins, and their clothes were made of burlap, which was dirty.
"Where are you from?" the woman asked.
"Back to my eldest sister, our family lives at the foot of the Frosty Mountains. Ji Fengtian replied.
"Frosty Mountains?" the woman looked at the two suspiciously.
"Isn't it possible to experience the Frosty Mountains?" the woman asked.
"Before, you could, but after the orcs appeared, you couldn't go. Ji Fengtian said.
"Orcs, have you ever seen an orc?" the woman asked, her pupils narrowed.
"We haven't seen orcs, but our village was destroyed by orcs, and both parents died at the hands of orcs. My brother was the only one in the village, and he escaped. Ji Fengtian said as he spoke, and his eyes began to redden.
"Little brother, don't cry, it's all big sister is bad, it reminds you of the sad past, or you should follow the big sister. The woman was touched by Ji Fengtian's tears, and her mother's heart was overflowing.
"Can we?" said Zhuge Qingming as he rubbed his eyes.
"But we want to go into the mountains to experience, this ......," Ji Fengtian wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said timidly.
"It's okay, my name is Zhu Moran, you can call me Sister Zhu or Sister Moran, I am the head of the Red Rose Mercenary Group. Zhu Moran introduced himself.
"Sister Mo Ran is so powerful, can we join you?" Ji Fengtian asked.
"Of course you can, now I'll take you in to apply for a badge, and then you will follow your sister, and your sister will protect you." Zhu Moran said, pulling the two of them around and walking towards the tall building.
