Chapter 54: Thick Fog Surrounds the Forest
"Brother Xian, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. Jia Qian gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "If it weren't for you, the foolish brother would have really died this time." ”
"It's Jia Brother Ji, and the people have their own natural appearance. Dongfang Shiming said half-jokingly.
He then raised his head, looked at the gradually chaotic sky, and said faintly, "...... This time it's not surprising. In fact, what makes me even more strange is that the number of people they sent this time is too small. ”
"Less?" Jia Qian's eyes widened when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure as if he had an epiphany, "Yes, the virtuous brother is excellent in martial arts, even if he comes more." ”
"No, that's not what I meant. Dongfang Shiming smiled and shook his head, wanting to explain, but he didn't know where to start. Coupled with being a little tired, he smiled bitterly twice as if he were talking to himself, "Forget it, forget it." ”
"Then are we going to stay here tonight?" Jia Qian asked, considering the reality he was facing.
Dongfang Shiming looked around at the surroundings. There are fish in the stream, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and the terrain is hidden from the mountains on all sides. In addition, this place is not far from Stone Cliff Village, and there are few wild beasts, so it is indeed a good temporary residence.
"Yes. Get ready, catch a fish and make a fire, and we'll spend the night here. Dongfang Shiming nodded with satisfaction.
With the experience of the previous night, the two quickly got busy in an orderly manner. The night gradually shrouded, and soon, a small cluster of firewood was lit on the side of the mountain stream, which looked like a tiny star in the mountains and forests.
This time, there is grilled fish to enjoy, and the conditions are much better than the dilemma of only eating dry food last night. The two of them were full of food and drink, and their whole bodies seemed to be resurrected, and they had never felt so hearty.
After looking at the map, according to their current location, it will probably be about two days before they can reach Fenglu County. Jia Qian was overjoyed to see that it was only two days away from his hometown.
But Dongfang Shiming is not very optimistic, no matter what, the Nine Shadows have already begun to snipe at them, and the next two days may be the most dangerous two days.
In the middle of the night, the flames gradually faded, and Jia Qian had fallen asleep by the firewood. Dongfang Shiming understood that it was useless to think too much, and in the next two days, it was the first thing to recuperate and deal with a strong enemy.
He looked around again, and after extinguishing the flames, he no longer held on to his overloaded spirit and body, and fell asleep on the paper mat.
Early the next morning, Dongfang Shiming was woken up by Jia Qian.
In the early morning, there was a thick fog in the mountains and forests, and the gray-white mist hung everywhere among the branches and leaves, and the line of sight was not open, and there was a sense of secrecy and hesitation everywhere.
"Now, we can't see them, so it's hard to be careful...... Jia Qian said timidly on the side.
Under the thick fog, it was indeed difficult for them to judge the ambush and pursuit, which was really a problem. Dongfang Shiming's heart was secretly nervous.
However, looking at Jia Qian's cowering demeanor, Dongfang Shiming could only smile and cheer him up: "It's okay, it's more beneficial for us to do this." They can't see where we are, it's the most natural barrier. ”
"Is that ......?" Jia Qian was skeptical.
Dongfang Shi clearly comforted him a few more words, and Jia Qian believed what he said. The two quickly packed their bags, crossed the stream, and continued along the route.
Although the fog is severe, it is still possible to distinguish the route. After walking for a while, the two of them saw the main road outside the mountain forest, and the outline of the dense houses and bazaars over there.
"It's Stone Cliff Village! We're here!"
Jia Qian stood on a big rock and looked down the mountain, and said excitedly to Dongfang Shiming: "It turns out that we were very close to Shiya Village last night, and I feel a little pity. ”
Dongfang Shiming didn't care, he sneered lightly: "Brother Jia, but with yesterday's situation, even if you arrive in Shiya Village, do you really dare to go to the guest house?"
"Uh......" Jia Qian was stunned for a moment, "I...... Can't. ”
"But let's go down today, go to the market to buy some supplies, and we shouldn't be discovered, right?" he proposed a little unwillingly, but as soon as he said it, he was rejected by Dongfang Shiming with a smile.
Dongfang Shiming shook his fingers and said to him, "Today's situation is even worse. Can you imagine that if you were to kill someone, would you miss the opportunity for them to appear in plain sight?"
"I'm ......" Jia Qian closed his eyes and thought about it seriously.
Soon, he bothered his head and compromised. He had no choice but to follow Dongfang Shiming to continue walking on the wild road, and he could only reluctantly glance back at Shiya Village before leaving.
The two of them bypassed Stone Cliff Village from the mountains and continued on their way.
It was overcast and the fog in the forest was slow to dissipate. However, it was quite cool and comfortable to travel like this, and although I had been worried, at least the physical torture was not so painful.
After walking for half a morning, it shouldn't be too early according to the time. Dongfang Shiming and Jia Qian plan to rest here for a while, and then continue to move forward after recovering their strength a little.
However, just when Dongfang Shiming bent down to help Jia Qian unload the cage, he suddenly felt a cold breath, and Dongfang Shiming instantly felt the awe-inspiring killing intent!
"Who is it!" Dongfang Shiming quickly turned around to protect Jia Qian, and at the same time, the iron fan flew out.
In an instant, two sharp darts had already pierced. Dongfang Shiming's eyes are quick, he waved his sleeves to make the wind, only listening to the two harsh sounds of "snort", Dongfang Shiming's cuffs have been cut off.
Jia Qian was frightened by this sudden change, and he hurriedly and skillfully hid behind the tree to avoid causing trouble to Dongfang Shiming.
Dongfang Shiming glanced at the crack in the cuff and understood that the roadblock this time was by no means the mediocre person of yesterday. In this way, I am afraid that this battle will be more than lucky.
