Chapter 2 Collecting Medicine
The Lost Mountain Range is full of dangers, especially when entering the deep forest at this moment, it is even more necessary to be vigilant about the surrounding environment, so the whole team is also walking very carefully, and the speed is getting slower and slower.
The one called Xiao Yuan is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young guard, about the cultivation of an intermediate martial artist, and he has the lowest strength in the entire team, so he is mainly responsible for all kinds of chores in the team, and at this moment, according to Wen Shuiqing's order, he took out a set of clothes and a bag of water.
The young man looked like he was going deep into the mountains and forests for the first time, his eyes were full of nervousness that could not be concealed, and he showed extremely strong vigilance in the face of Zhao Changfeng at this moment, and he didn't say a word in the face of Zhao Changfeng at this moment, just threw his clothes and water and turned away, returning to the original place and standing.
Zhao Changfeng took the thing without care, and then opened the water bag and roughly cleaned it, finally revealing his true face, and then took off the torn clothes and put on new clothes.
Zhao Changfeng coughed lightly, and everyone came back to their senses and continued to stare at the surrounding movements.
"Brother Zhao, do you need any weapons and armor, I can ask the guards to give you some. Wen Shuiqing asked, as one of the many eyes before, her face was slightly red, and then quickly returned to normal.
"Thank you Miss Wen for your kindness, but I'm used to dealing with enemies like this, and suddenly having more protection will hinder my play. Zhao Changfeng turned his head and smiled slightly, although he was bare-handed at this time, he had a calm bearing, which made people believe from the bottom of their hearts that he was telling the truth, not a simple politeness.
Wen Shuiqing unconsciously moved his eyes away slightly, nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then there will be Brother Lao Zhao after that, as long as he arrives at the place, Brother Zhao will definitely not suffer." ”
Hearing Zhao Changfeng's words, all the guards shook their heads negatively in their hearts. They have been in and out of the mountain range countless times over the years, and they have experienced all kinds of dangers during the period, and they have become accustomed to it, but every time they enter the mountain, they still have to make a lot of preparations, and the things that can save their lives at critical moments are just too much, not too little, and they are all too much to carry with them, and they have never heard of these things that can affect the play, and the words of the person in front of him are simply outrageous.
It's just that everyone didn't want to give the life-saving things to this stranger, so at this moment, they were happy to have Zhao Changfeng explain like this, and they didn't raise any objections.
The look in the eyes of many guards did not hide from Zhao Changfeng, but he didn't bother to explain, although he had been collecting the long knife mountain and sea in the furnace before meeting this group, and it was inconvenient to take it out at this moment, but now even if he was barehanded, his threat would definitely not be much weaker than himself with the long knife in his hand, relying on his current strength, Zhao Changfeng was confident that as long as he did not go deep into the hinterland of the mountain range, he would have the ability to protect everyone here.
At this moment, Zhao Changfeng suddenly felt that someone was tugging at his clothes behind him, so he looked back and saw that it was the little girl who had been hiding beside Wen Shuiqing, but she didn't know when she came behind him, and at this moment she raised her head and looked at him with a pair of big watery eyes.
"Give you flowers. The little girl raised her hand and grasped in her hand a herb full of bright flowers.
Zhao Changfeng was stunned, and then a trace of warmth rose in his heart, but because he didn't know how to get along with children, he didn't say anything at the moment, just thanked the little girl sincerely, and took the herb carefully.
"It seems that Ling'er likes Brother Zhao very much. Wen Shuiqing stepped forward, walked side by side with Zhao Changfeng, and said with a smile.
"Miss Ling'er is kind-hearted, and it seems that she has inherited the advantages of Miss Wen. Zhao Changfeng replied with a smile.
"Brother Zhao is really flattering, I don't know if you still deceive too many girls like this. Wen Shuiqing raised his hand and clenched his fist to block his mouth, said with a smile, then turned his head, there was still a smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "But Brother Zhao still guessed wrong, I invited you not to come with me because of kindness, but because I saw that Brother Zhao is definitely not an ordinary person, and it will be a lot safer for you to join the team." ”
Zhao Changfeng smiled: "Why does Miss Wen think that I have that strength, what if I'm just lucky?"
"It's definitely not luck that you can get out of the depths of the mountains. Wen Shuiqing replied categorically, "When I first saw Brother Zhao, although you looked embarrassed, my expression was very calm, not at all what a saved person should be, and listening to your accent, you must not be from Lingbei." ”
"Lingbei is so big, it doesn't seem to explain much just by the accent. ”
"Naturally, I can't rely on the accent alone, but I see that the damage to Brother Zhao's clothes, the traces in many places are relatively old, and they have not appeared in the last few days, so I guess it is not so much lost as it is like rushing in the mountains. ”
"Miss Wen is delicate and admired. Zhao Changfeng was noncommittal.
"Brother Zhao is from the Northern Desert?" Wen Shuiqing still didn't give up and continued to ask.
Hearing the other party mention the Northern Desert, it was Zhao Changfeng's turn to be interested, and at this time he asked with a little surprise: "Do you know the Northern Desert?"
"Of course I know, I also know that there are three major forces in the Northern Desert, and the strongest of them is called the Desert Scorpion, which force are you?" Wen Shuiqing showed a smug look and then asked.
"I am the desert scorpion. Zhao Changfeng told the truth that appropriately revealing some information is a means to quickly gain trust, which Zhao Changfeng does not intend to hide.
"It turns out that you are really from the Northern Desert! You actually walked through this mountain range alone, I really don't know if you are strong or lucky. ”
"It's both, by the way, how do you know so much about the affairs of the Northern Desert?"
"It was my father who told me that he went out and traveled to many places in his early years, including the Northern Desert, but he went from the pass in the south of the North Continent, although he had the cultivation of the Martial Spirit Realm, but he was not sure to pass through this mountain range. ”
......
An hour passed.
During this period, Zhao Changfeng and Wen Shuiqing talked a lot, and at this moment finally figured out the general situation of this area, which is called Lingbei by the locals, Wen Shuiqing's father with the mid-stage cultivation of the Martial Spirit Realm is the head of the Wen family, and he is also the strongest person in the family.
The Wen family is located at the foot of the mountain not far from the Baoshan City, mainly to do some medicinal materials trading, as for the force is not famous, similar to the Wen family in the city of a total of seven, are also their own business in all aspects of trading, in Baoshan City self-sufficiency.
The ruler of Baoshan City is the city lord, who has the cultivation of the late stage of the Martial Spirit Realm, and is the strongest person in the whole city, and in a city like this, there are hundreds or thousands of forces in the entire Lingbei region, and there are even more forces like the Wen family.
And all of this is actually controlled by the same force, that is, a super giant city located on the northernmost side of the North Sea, facing the demon Lu Yaoyao across the North Sea, Zhenhai City!
Zhenhai City is located on the northern coast, and while in charge of the treaty port between the Terran Continent and the Demon Land, it is also responsible for supervising the invasion of the Demon Army, and even the city lords of hundreds of towns below are appointed by Zhenhai City.
There are many masters in Zhenhai City, and the city lord is the legendary god realm powerhouse, every year he kills the people and demon powerhouses with his own hands, not to mention the unruly temperament of the entire giant city every year.
"God Realm powerhouse! I didn't expect that there would be such a big difference in strength between the two regions with similar areas, and the desert scorpion, which was called the first force in the Northern Desert, could only be counted as second-rate when it came here. Zhao Changfeng secretly said in his heart, although he had already learned about this gap from his father, it was still beyond his expectations at this moment.
Thinking of this, Zhao Changfeng put his eyes on the small flower in his hand, although it was just an ordinary medicinal herb, but it contained powerful medicinal power, and the concentration of the force between heaven and earth was much higher than that of the Northern Desert, and cultivating here would obviously be more efficient than the Northern Desert, but it was a pity that now as a martial arts master, no matter how high the concentration of the Force here was, it would not be of any use to Zhao Changfeng.
However, compared to the Northern Desert, the martial arts here are always much more prosperous, which is a good thing for Zhao Changfeng, because if this is the case, he will have a greater chance of finding a way to solve the cultivation problem.
"Miss, here we are. There was a guard beside him who reported respectfully, interrupting Zhao Changfeng's thoughts.
"Okay, then according to the assignment before departure, the three of them went to guard ten feet away, and the rest of the people began to work. Under Wen Shuiqing's skillful command, everyone began to act in an orderly manner.
After assigning the task, Wen Shuiqing turned his head and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, you may not be familiar with the way we collect medicine, this time you can just watch it first, and don't rush to make a move." ”
Zhao Changfeng nodded, followed the team and walked forward, the pace of the group became slower and slower, and in the end, even the breath was much more restrained, until after walking out of this way, a dark cave more than half a person high suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The three of them lay in ambush at the entrance of the cave, and the rest of the people scattered around to block the way out. Wen Shuiqing waved his palm, and everyone was ordered to go everywhere to stay.
"Lyuber. At this time, Wen Shuiqing turned his head to look at the old guard beside him, "Let's start." ”
The old guard was silent, and only nodded at this time, and then sprang out like an ape, and silently touched the side of the hole after a few ups and downs among the bushes, and took out a lump of something from his pocket behind him as if it were thrown into the hole.
Hiss –
The old guard's action undoubtedly stimulated the existence of the cave, and in the next moment, he saw a gray line rushing out of the hole, and went straight to the old man's door.
All the changes during this period occurred in an instant, at this moment before everyone could react, the old guard as expected, had already flexibly retreated, although the gray line was fierce, but at this time the momentum declined, can only fall back to the ground, then everyone can see clearly, it turned out to be a small gray snake.
The small gray snake is only one meter long, but its movements are extremely flexible and extremely fast, and it is difficult for even a warrior to stare at it when it moves.
The little gray snake was furious, I don't know what the old man did to provoke it, and as soon as it landed, it turned into a gray line and rushed towards the direction where the old guard was, which meant that it would never die.
However, the little snake in a rage ignored the movement from the surroundings, and when it reacted, it had been added to the knives of the people who were ambushed around, although the little snake was extremely fast, but its body was very fragile, and it was cut into several pieces at the moment, and it could not die again.
Everyone stepped forward to roughly clean up the corpse of the little snake, put away the venom and snake gall, and the rest of the people entered the cave, and after a while, they walked out with a tall and thin grass that was dripping green.
"Snake grass, good. Wen Shuiqing nodded with satisfaction and put it away.
"May I ask the old man, what did you throw into the cave just now?" Seeing the old guard who was silently walking back, Zhao Changfeng stepped forward and asked.
"The droppings of other snakes. The old man cherished words like gold, and at this moment he returned to Wen Shuiqing and stood beside him, and became silent again.
"I see. Zhao Changfeng was stunned.
The team moved forward again.
