"Twenty percent, at this price, if not, we will take it to Liangcheng. "Lao Ling is categorical.

"Well, I want three tiger skins, five bear skins, and ten fox skins and ten mink skins. ”

"Mink is so small, don't you want to point too much?"

"Don't Luo, there are more people raising mink, and there is not much demand. ”

Seeing that they had negotiated business, Shi Keqi interjected and said, "Hello, I just heard your surname next to me, Uncle Ling, I took the liberty of disturbing, do you know that there is a place called the Dragon Temple in the forest?"

Lao Ling sorted out the leather goods, and said without raising his head: "I don't know, you don't accept leather goods." ”

Shi Keqi didn't plan to get an answer, but after listening to Lao Ling's words, he smiled slightly, and looked at Chen Youshang.

Suddenly, there was a clamor in the village, and three young hunters with crooked hats and open clothes whistled at a man who was walking slowly on horseback. The man was dressed in a green coat and a green scarf on his head, and when he got a little closer, Shi Keqi's eyes were greeted by the hibiscus-like face.

"Don't scare the girls, go and do something else. Lao Ling spoke.

"It's rare to see a young girl all year round, and it's even rarer to be so beautiful, or you look old and good-looking, don't be nosy. The three of them followed closely after Zi Dinglin, who was dressed as a man.

Lao Ling shook his head and didn't care about this matter anymore.

Orion Village is in a gray area under the jurisdiction of the government, and no one will take care of it if there is no big incident.

"Fuck off. Zi Ding Lin said.

"Yo, the chick is very fierce, or let's have a good chat. A hunter jumped up to her horse and tried to hold on to the reins.

Shi Keqi watched with interest.

There was a muffled sound of "pop", and the hunter who stopped the horse was whipped upside down by Zi Dinglin.

The other two were taken aback and drew their backhands.

Hearing only two crisp sounds of "ding ding", the knives in the hands of the two were knocked to the ground, and they were dumbfounded, as if they couldn't believe that they missed so easily, and they didn't know what something knocked down the weapon.

But the sharp pain of the tiger's jaw cracking told them that it was real, and the blood quickly oozed out.

Zi Dinglin shook the horsewhip and rolled up an arrow on the ground, and looked at the quiver that was not damaged and put on his back. Only then did the hunter notice that the bow and arrows she was carrying were still buzzing.

What, she shot two knives almost at the same time with one arrow?

I didn't see her take the bow at all, this is the speed of a top shooter?

Hunters who are good at archery can't believe that there are people in the world who shoot arrows so fast.

"Get out, one more word, the next arrow will take the dog's life!" Zi Dinglin shouted angrily.

The three of them hugged their heads and ran away.

Lao Ling flattened his mouth, smacked, hum, a beautiful girl who dares to walk outside alone, how can she be provoked, she deserves it. Fortunately, this is a soft-hearted master, and he can be killed by ruthless beatings, he thought to himself.

Shi Keqi waved his hand and said, "Hey, Purple Girl is so coincidental, you are here too?"

"Hmm. Zi Dinglin agreed lightly, because she had just been furious, her face was still tense, and after answering his words, the lines of her face softened a little.

Shi Keqi obediently didn't ask again.

Zi Dinglin jumped off the horse, and his skills were clean and neat. Clasped his hands into fists and asked Lao Ling, "This old man, may I ask how to get to the Dragon God Temple?"

I haven't seen her for a while, but her kung fu has improved a lot, Shi Keqi thought.

"It is said that in the deepest part of the forest, no one of us dares to enter it, and I heard from the old man that it is the resting place of the dragon, and that there are many dangers inside. You are a girl like a flower, even if you have a stunt, don't go. Lao Ling said what he knew in one breath.

Men have little resistance to beautiful women, no matter how old they are, Shi Keqi thought to himself. Hey, who makes himself not a woman.

Eh, why did she go to the Dragon God Temple, his curiosity suddenly rose, and he wanted to ask the reason, but seeing that she looked like she was not close to anyone, it was better not to ask.

In the distance, a loud non-human howl came out of the forest, and everyone was stunned, and then there was another one, which was very harsh, like a mixture of tiger and dog, that is, neither majestic nor high-pitched, extremely incongruous.

For example, a dog that has eaten an aphrodisiac finally finds a female dog, climbs up with joy but can't find the door, and tosses for a long time to find that it is made of wood. In the midst of the fire, there was a leper dog next to him who had lost his butt and shouted gloatingly: No surprise, no surprise.

So the aphrodisiac dog made this heart-rending and unpleasant sound.

"Pack your things, grab your bow and arrows, this is most likely a demon beast. Lao Ling was very nervous and instructed the villagers who were busy with him.

"Is it a beast?" Chen Youshang asked, his heart was already panicking, if there were really demon beasts, how could he take the goods he received, maybe he wouldn't go out, and it would be dangerous to stay in the village.

"It can't be a beast, I've been hunting for decades, and I haven't heard any kind of beast cry. Lao Ling said very confidently.

"How is this good, how is this good?" Chen Youshang paused.

"Rest assured, the villagers will protect your safety. Lao Ling comforted him, in fact, he didn't have a bottom in his heart, but he didn't want someone to mourn by his side, so he had to coax him to talk first.

Some of the villagers successively brought out knives, bows and arrows and other weapons from their homes, and some closed the doors, and the village chief went to Liangcheng today to run errands and did not return.

To the northeast, a wolf smoke rose straight into the sky.

"Oh no, there is more than one demon beast, and the officers and soldiers of the outpost may also encounter wolf smoke. "Lao Ling is really a little scared, people are several times more afraid of unknown horrors than they are known. Even if twenty tigers came into the village, Lao Ling would not be afraid, and beckoned a few hunters to bring enough arrows to climb trees or rooftops, and the tiger could be beaten into a cat.

Twenty miles away from Orion Village, there was an outpost garrisoned by 500 officers and soldiers, which was the first defensive point in the battle with the demon beasts that year.

After that, although the tall Liangcheng was built and the defensive force was greatly strengthened, the official army still repaired the outpost and built a small castle. Now that the beacon tower has been lit, you must know that the beacon fire cannot be easily lit, and trivial things should be ordered and properly dealt with by military law.

A thick metasequoia tree 500 meters away from the entrance of the village was shaken, and although it was almost impossible to hear the slightest movement in the village, the tree was thicker than a human waist, and it could not be shaken by ordinary people.

The dense forest seemed to have a figure shaking, and the hunters who rushed to the entrance of the village were like facing a great enemy, drawing their swords and opening their bows, and an invisible fear spread in the crowd.

At this moment of tension, Zi Dinglin took a knife and rode away from the entrance of the village, and in front of him was a metasequoia forest.

"Girl, when you go back to the village, you don't know what kind of fierce beast there is in front of you, don't give your life in vain. Lao Ling kindly persuaded.

Zi Dinglin nodded in thanks, tightened the reins and continued to move forward, Shi Keqi followed expressionlessly, and Xiaolan was very excited, sitting on the horse stock and smiling proudly.

A loud roar exploded, far from being comparable to the piercing sound before.

The long grass in the woods was cut down like rice, and something was about to burst out.

"Huhuhu" three fist-sized fireballs rose up and stopped in mid-air, and the air was burned with a slight beeping sound.

"Well, this young man is actually a fire mage. Lao Ling was taken aback, but fortunately he didn't speak further ill of the young man.

He couldn't tell the strength level of the mage, he hunted all year round, and he rarely met the mage once in a few years, and he didn't pay attention to the mage when he usually rested, and he couldn't eat if he paid attention to the mage.

He didn't know how powerful a mage could summon three fireballs at a time, and the only thing he knew was that even the lowest-level mage wasn't something he could defeat.

Chen Youshang had a happy face, the more capable people in the village, the safer he was.

Three fireballs moved with Scoke, and the fire elves whispered in a trance.

The movement in the forest came to an abrupt halt, and in a moment, the thing turned away, visibly afraid of the fireballs.

The people of Orion Village breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mage, please stay!" Lao Ling shouted, the young man shot to drive away most of the unknown objects that were demon beasts, and he always had to thank him in person.

Only two wisps of smoke and dust were left, as if in response to Lao Ling's words.

The road was not wide, and the two horses could not walk side by side, and Shi Keqi followed behind Zi Dinglin's horse.

"Why are you following me?" Zi Dinglin said without looking back.

"I'm going to find the Dragon Temple too, Purple Maiden, why don't you go together?" replied Shi Keqi.

Zi Dinglin looked back at him, her face was full of sincerity, she was not a bitter person, but she was irritable when something happened at home, and she was a little more impatient than usual.

Seeing Shi Keqitan's frank appearance, she nodded and drove her horse forward.

The wolf smoke of the beacon tower was still billowing, and the two of them rode their horses one after the other, and the twenty-mile road was completed in less than a quarter of an hour.

On the way to the outpost, there are steep rock walls on both sides that are thousands of meters high.

The narrow road is widened here into two inverted N-shaped openings that are more than 100 meters long and wide, and when you look down from the air, there is a ramp that is tens of meters wide that slowly descends under the opening, and on both sides of the ramp are vertical stone walls that are like cutting knives without edges.

After descending the gentle slope, there is the smoke-shrouded endless basin, which makes people have to admire the magic of nature.

The so-called outpost is a small castle with a stone wall more than three meters high built on the N-shaped mouth, surrounded by stones, and the top is made of stone and wood, and the top is covered with woven thatch, and the base is made of waterproof tarpaulin. It is really a good place to cool in summer and cool in winter, and soldiers in the army often jokingly call it Liangliang Castle.

Now the hearts of the five hundred officers and soldiers of the outpost are also cold, more than ten demon beasts launched an attack from the gentle slope, and one of them even jumped on the top cover and ran, and the direction of running away is Liangcheng, if you enter the fork in the road, it is Orion Village.

Fortunately, the wolf smoke was ignited, and even if the demon beast ran to Liangcheng, he was not afraid to hold him accountable here.

When Shi Zi and the others came to the outpost, more than 100 people on the front city wall controlled ballistas and stones to smash downward, more than 100 people used bows and arrows, and the rest of them erected swords, shields and spears and waited for the opportunity, crowding the city wall to the brim.

More than thirty soldiers had been killed, while only a few of the monsters had been burned and one had been killed. This will be retreating, and the defenders will not hesitate to do so, especially the burning fiery oil, which scares them.
