In front of the Wutang Gate, the people who enter the mountain are waiting here early, three or five of them are talking about something, and they only set off when they enter the mountain at sunset on weekdays, because this time is the time when all kinds of beasts begin to move, and today they are required to set off early in the morning, which is a bit abnormal.

Li Wei came to Wutang, naturally knew the road, and walked quietly to stand at the back of the team, because Wutang expressly forbade family members to enter the mountain, and relatives were not allowed to see them off. What is the happiest reunion for ordinary people? What is the most expectant look in the eyes of your relatives waiting at the door of your home when you return home? If you have concerns in your heart when you enter the mountain, it is easy to go wrong, and this is true of the hearts of the people in the world.

Li Wei's heart was naturally uneasy, the first time he experienced this, he naturally didn't know what was waiting for him, but he only had one belief, he firmly believed that he could do it and would not let them down, he clearly remembered a quarter of an hour ago, in front of the door of the small thatched hut, next to the stump Li Jingyuan, there was Yun Mo, whose eyes were full of tears, waving at him.

The scene was still emerging, and the mood was not yet calm, the door of the martial arts hall opened, and two attendants pushed open the door from the outside to the inside, and a middle-aged man of medium stature with long thin cheeks and goatee walked out under the crowd of several people. With his eyes sweeping, everyone stood neatly and quietly.

The man coughed dryly, stroked his beard, and said to everyone: "Everyone, I think everyone has questions about calling everyone to come so early today, I want to explain that recently, there has been a shortage of grain stocks in Shixi Village, that is, there are fewer people working and more people eating. Therefore, the stewards of the martial arts hall discussed and decided that from now on, they would enter the mountain early every morning and try to increase the daily harvest as much as possible. In addition, the amount of supplies received each day in the future will be reduced by 30%. Other matters, as usual, were led by the two martial artists, and everything after the departure was at their command. After saying that, he waved his hand and went into the house.

Although the words were said lightly, everyone heard that this was undoubtedly a major event, and the food and materials on weekdays were barely enough for the family, but now the labor has increased, but the distribution has been reduced.

"Why do you say that all of a sudden there is a shortage of supplies? In the past, all the prey was owned by Wutang, and the rest was divided equally by us, but now in this way, can we still live in the future?"

"Yes, it will be difficult for the rest of the day, but I heard that there are other reasons for this. After saying that, the man glanced at Li Wei, his eyes were full of resentment, and Li Wei was uncomfortable when he looked at it.

"Hey, this Shixi Village is a hundred miles away, it's not the Baiyue family that has the final say, you see that every time we go into the mountain, except for us people to work hard, does anyone from the Baiyue family go? But how can we have the right to speak. The other said in a low voice.

"It's all somebody's to blame, huh. ”

"Shhhh We are all poor people, and everyone else is the same, so why bother. ”

Li Wei listened to these words more or less, and for a while, his heart was mixed, as if he had done something wrong and became a bad person in the eyes of everyone.

"Quiet and quiet, what to discuss. At this moment, two men in their forties stood up and shouted loudly.

Li Wei whispered to a person around thirty years old next to him, "This big brother, may I ask who they are?"

"Oh, you're new here, aren't you? We have heard about you, and it's actually no wonder to you, he doesn't even know them? Let me tell you, the one who spoke just now was the master of the martial hall, Bai Yueting, these two are the leaders who took us into the mountain, the one with the beard on the left is called Bai Yueji, and the one on the right is called Bai Yueji. They have all practiced martial arts, and now they are in the realm of martial artists, but don't contradict them, otherwise it will be miserable. The man looked from head to toe and whispered to Li Wei's voice.

It could be seen that they were very afraid of the people in Wutang, and Li Wei nodded politely to thank them.

After some arrangement, Wutang distributed weapons to everyone, all kinds of knives, guns, sticks, ropes and axes, and Li Wei inquired and learned that on weekdays, he was afraid that everyone would hunt privately, and weapons were not allowed. When it was distributed to Li You, Li Wei was told that the newcomer was not qualified to get a weapon, so he would follow the study first, and everyone's eyes looked at Li Wei again, how could anyone let people go hunting with their bare hands? This was obviously targeted, and they were all embarrassed, but no one helped him speak, and Li Wei naturally did not dare to contradict it when he first arrived.

"You, go to the front, newcomer, be smart. Bai Yueqi pushed Li Wei and signaled.

Li Wei knows that in this case, it is best for him to learn to be obedient, otherwise he will definitely be unlucky, as the so-called heroes do not suffer immediate losses.

All the way to the southeast, on this road has been forward, to not afraid of forks, about four or five minutes, thanks to Li Wei's physique is not bad, and did not shout tired, the woods on both sides of the road are becoming more and more dense, from time to time a few unnamed birds and birds fluttered out, from the sun shining here the dark clouds, everyone began to become serious, just now the road is talking and laughing no longer exists, listen to them, here are dark clouds all the year round, as if Beihe San has ignored here, Li Wei does not understand, why this short distance of dozens of miles, the climate is so different, this is only the periphery, not to enter the barren forest, I heard Li Jingyuan talk about it a few days ago, and I still didn't believe it, but today I can see it is believing.

"Boy, you wait first. Big brother, the situation is not right today, should we wait to enter?" Li Wei was still at the forefront, and the two people who took the lead were behind him, and at this time, Bai Yueqi shouted to stop Li Wei and said to Bai Yue Ji, with a dignified face.

Bai Yue Ji thought for a moment, forgot to glance at the front and back, and whispered: "Today is a bit abnormal, on weekdays, although there is no sunlight, it is not so dim, but don't forget, we have other tasks today." Danger is danger, let's be careful, don't delay. Maybe we don't have to do it?"

"Chief, let's rest, something is wrong today. At this time, another middle-aged man walked over, holding a steel fork in his hand, and said to the two of them.

The two of them took the lead and glanced at each other, and Bai Yueqi said to this: "It's okay, our brothers are sharper than you, you ~ don't worry." Continue on your way. After saying that, he waved his hand, and the group continued to march into the depths of the mountains and dense forests.

After walking for another half an hour or so, Li Wei was a little out of breath by the atmosphere around him, and the road ahead was getting narrower and narrower, almost no road, but out of the heart that more is better than less, he didn't speak, he knew that these two people would not sympathize with him, if he was found an excuse by the other party, how would he go back to Yun Mo and they would explain to him?

At this moment, the man who was talking to Li Wei at the gate of the martial arts hall ran over quickly, and said to the two: "Two leaders, there is almost no road ahead of you, let me go ahead, this kid has no experience, if he encounters an emergency, he will definitely not be able to deal with it, and when the time comes, he will be bitten and eaten by a wild beast, and some people will say that you will not use people, let the newcomer lead the way, and going back will damage the reputation of the two." ”

The two looked at each other, thinking about it, there is some reason, in case the emergency situation can not be warned and reported in time, resulting in the injury of everyone, then it is indeed difficult to explain it back, after all, the path exploration is related to the safety of everyone, this time Baiyue Court just secretly ordered, it is to teach Li Wei a lesson, but to try to ensure the safety of others. Like the last time Li Jingyuan was disabled, they went back and were detained for ten days, and it was completely different whether the injury could be disabled or fatal, after all, Shixi Village still relied on them.

"Then the two of you go ahead together, with that little piece of shit. Bai Yueqi snorted coldly.

"Thank you, big brother. Li Wei naturally understood that this person was helping himself, and after pulling away from the rear for dozens of meters, he whispered to this person.

The man smiled and replied, "Don't be so polite, just call me Yunshan, there were people who helped me when I first entered the mountain fifteen years ago, but I wasn't as lucky as you, and I was targeted by him." ”

Yun Shan walked as he spoke, and cut off a wooden stick for Li Wei on the side of the road: "Give, take it, you are empty-handed, it looks like a sightseeing trip, don't think they feel sorry for you, so they won't let you take the weapon and heavy objects, at a critical time, this is all life-saving." ”

Li Wei thanked him again, and Yun Shan didn't say anything, just reminded him to pay close attention to the movements around him.

"Why are you helping me, everyone else hates me to death, because we are the only ones who are so implicated. ”

"Because you saved my life fifteen years ago, people, you can't be ungrateful. ”

"Oh......"

"Boy, don't be discouraged, you're still young, the world is so big, Stony Creek Village isn't even an ant. Hehe......" Yun Shan continued.

Li Wei could hear that Yun Shan had something to say, as if he knew something, but when Li Wei continued to want to ask, Yun Shan made a gesture and signaled Li Wei not to ask again, and the atmosphere instantly became tense, and everyone behind him was experienced after all. The first time hidden.

"You, you, you, and a few of you, set traps quickly. ”

The two people who took the lead were vigilant but did not panic, and ordered everyone in an orderly manner, and a few people in the team started to move very skillfully, and after a while, several large traps had been prepared, and Li Wei watched carefully on the side. I already understand these principles in my heart.

"Separate, you guys, go to the heights. Lao Shi, Lao Li, you control the traps, hunters, archers, and hide preparations. ”

Although Li Wei didn't like the two people who took the lead, and even said that he didn't like the people in Wutang, they did things smoothly, and Li Wei also admired them, after all, he was the first time to see them.

Li Wei couldn't help, sitting on a stone next to him, Yun Shan came over and whispered: "It's really evil today, how can there be wild beasts at noon?" You see that this bird is not calling, it is not an ordinary prey, protect yourself for a while, stay away, I am a hunter, I want to find a favorable position to hide, no one can take care of you when there is chaos." ”

For the first time in his heart, Li Wei felt like a fool, useless. He doesn't know anything about the world, like an outsider.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement, the feeling of danger was nearby, but it didn't appear for a long time, and everyone was anxious, and then Bai Yueji said: "Li Wei, you, go and lure it, go forward along this road, and make some movement." ”

Someone in the team immediately whispered: "Leader, I'm afraid this can't be, isn't that equivalent to death?"

"What kind of death, who do you or I have the final say?" Bai Yueji scolded angrily, and the man lowered his head and did not speak.

In the words of my previous memory, it was 10,000 alpacas roaring by, but what can Li Wei do now?

"Hurry up, what are you hesitating about. Have you forgotten what you said in Wutang?" Bai Yueji continued to urge.

"Go and go, people who have already died once, what am I afraid of. Li Wei muttered in his heart, he wanted to have a few words for Yun Shan to bring back to Yun Mo, but he was afraid that it would be too obvious and cause unnecessary trouble to Yun Shan, so he could only take a look at it from a distance, and Yun Shan nodded, everything was silent.

Li Wei plucked up his courage and touched forward, holding the wooden stick tightly in his hand, the oppressive atmosphere around him made him unable to relax at all, and slowly the distance from the team became farther and farther away, and his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Roar...", a roar sounded from the forest, and the shocked Li Wei's blood was rushing, and his eyes were dizzy. As soon as he came to his senses, he saw a unicorn beast galloping towards him, looking the same as the one Li Jingyuan brought back that night, but it was just too big. It looks like it's seven or eight hundred pounds.

Li Wei instinctively screamed, turned around and ran back, the distance he had just visited was about a mile or two, and his speed was too slow in the face of such a fierce thing.

There was no time to react, Li Wei had no direction, he knew that as long as he stopped slightly, he would be torn apart by the giant beast behind him, time passed too slowly, every second seemed like a lifetime as long, after a few breaths, the obvious distance was getting closer and closer.

"Running in a straight line, I don't think I can run the trap, it's definitely not a way to go on like this, I can't die like this. At this critical moment, Li Wei rarely maintained the last trace of calm, although he was fearless after dying once, he would cherish the preciousness of life even more.

Although the beast is fierce, but after all, the size is too large, Li Wei suddenly turned around, the monster actually couldn't react, a sharp turn, actually opened a distance of a few meters, just ran back and forth, Li Wei has long been unable to distinguish the direction in his mind, and his physical strength is constantly declining.

Li Wei knew that if he continued like this, he would sooner or later become the food of this beast, and in a hurry, a huge tree in front of him blocked the way, Li Wei didn't want to think about it, and climbed up in one go, because the tree was too huge and full of potholes, and it was not difficult to climb up.

Before the hind foot was pumped, the beast almost bitten, only in a thousandth of an instant, a sudden change occurred. The huge monster hurried back as if it had touched something terrible. At this time, Li Wei saw the appearance of this beast clearly, the appearance of which was like a cow, with a single horn on its head, four very thick hooves, and a tail like a lion. There was another roar, and Li almost fell off the tree with a shock.

Li Wei wondered in his heart, why did this guy suddenly take a few steps back? As if he was afraid, he looked around and didn't find anything.

"Twitter, twitter. ”

At this time, Li Wei realized that on this tree, a huge bird's nest was built on top of his head. A small, five-colored bird poking its head out of a nest in a tree.

The monster seemed to look around, and did not find any threat to him, and pressed over step by step, and when it was seven or eight meters away from the tree, it suddenly spoke: "I am the Spirit King, you hateful humans, hunt my son, and today also make you feel the fear of being hunted, roar。。。。。 You're going to pay the interest. ”

Li Wei is still the first time to see a talking monster, I heard someone say earlier, in the spirit world, as long as any animal has enough time and has a wisdom root, it can cultivate spirituality, and eventually even incarnate into a demon king.

"When did I kill your son on the first day I went into the mountains today? You, are you mistaken?"

"Wrong? Just a month ago, my son went out, and he was killed by your group, I really hate it, you are still pretending to be stupid here? Let me ask you, have you ever seen a minor monster with golden horns?"

Li Wei suddenly remembered in his heart, the day he first arrived in Shixi Village, wasn't the hideous horn that his father brought back the golden horn?

"If you want to fight, don't affect my rest, I'm sleepy. ”

Li Wei raised his head suddenly, looked at the five-colored bird, the boss with staring eyes, and cursed secretly in his heart: "Damn, what's wrong with today, it's an animal that can talk......?"

Obviously, the fierce in front of him was also taken aback, his eyes stared at the bird fiercely, thoughtfully, and then said to the bird: "You are actually Chongming, the legend only appeared a long, long time ago, I didn't expect to be met here today, but it's a pity, although you are born to restrain all other beasts, but I think you are very young, I'm afraid you have only just hatched, right? Hahaha"

Chongming, an ancient xenomorph, and ordinary beasts are naturally afraid of it.

"Ignorant mortal beast, lowly is lowly, and you know nothing about the understanding of nobility. After that, he leaned against the branch of the tree and flapped his wings and yawned, as if he was about to fall asleep, which was both funny and incredible.

The Spirit King was furious, and when he was about to attack, the tree opposite trembled violently.

"Ah", "oops", Li Wei couldn't hold on, and fell down, and the little bird was also disgraced, fluttering in a mess, and dropped its feathers on the ground.

Lian Wo and the things inside fell together, and a black sword clicked, inserted next to Li Wei, Li Wei had not recovered from the fall just now, this sword was really startled, and I thought it was the attack launched by the demon king.

"Hahahaha, it seems that God help me, you should die. The Spirit King kicked the ground with his legs violently, and his eight-hundred-pound body bounced like a cannonball.

Secretly screaming in his heart, the ninja's whole body was in pain, and he dodged the blow with a roll, and the huge body clicked the big tree, and Li Wei hurriedly got up, landed on one knee, and looked at each other angrily. Without waiting for a reaction, the Spirit King turned around and roared and rushed over again.

Out of instinct, Li Youyi grasped the black sword next to him. With enough strength, he shouted, and slashed head-on, and between the lightning and flint, the sword god and the spirit king came into contact.

I only heard a scream, most of the horns of the Spirit King were cut off, and scarlet blood was flowing from the top of his head, and the Spirit King stared at the sword in Li Wei's hand, and retreated back with fear in an incredible way, panting for breath, for fear that Li Wei would attack him again. After a few feet away, turn around and run.

Seeing the Spirit King leaving, Li Wei was like a deflated ball, plunged his sword into the ground, his knees were weak, and he sat on the ground with his butt, his heart still beating violently.

"Huh, you can use this sword?"

All along, the bird had been lazy, but at this time it actually got up, stirred its wings, and landed on the hilt of the sword.

Li Wei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, supported the ground with his hands, and instinctively moved back, the bird is not scary, but the talking bird is very scary. At this moment, it was clear that this sword was about three feet long, the whole body was simple and black, and the sword body had no edge.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. The bird chirped.

"Yes, is there any problem? I just gave it back to you out of desperation. Li Wei stammered.

The little bird looked at Li Wei again from head to toe, put on a serious look, and said slowly: "This is my master's thing, you actually resonated with him just now, he chose you." ”

"What? I don't understand, who is your master?"

"I haven't seen it either, and when my master disappeared, I was still an egg. ”

Looking at the serious bird, such a sentence came out of his mouth, and Li Wei couldn't help but sweep away the previous fear.

"Well!!! if you dare to laugh, I'll eat you. The little bird was very dissatisfied with Li Wei's expression.

"You're not awake, are you? You're still an ass, how do you know your master?"

"If you dare to look at me like that, I'll make you full of holes. ”

Hearing this sentence, Li Wei shuddered all over, and he didn't dare to joke.

"I told you that you don't understand, so let's do it, since my master chose you, then I will follow you in the future, this sword will be yours in the future, and I also have a sense of closeness to you, so I decided. The bird said.

"Oh yes, my master has one more thing". After that, the little bird flew to the tree, rummaged through the nest for a long time, and flew down with this palm-sized animal skin in its mouth.

Li Wei took the animal skin, looked at it carefully, and found that the animal skin was almost transparent, with two blurred words on it: river map.
