After a full night's rest, Wang Jiu temporarily adjusted his route and walked straight for thousands of miles from the rugged mountain road to the southeast.

Breaking away from the steep mountainous area, the speed of the movement of several people did not increase significantly, because after crossing the continuous mountain range of Teng Zhiguo in the east of Qingyun City, it was the so-called border wilderness area.

Two thousand years ago, the Li family led a team from Liantian City to the south to pioneer, igniting the fire of civilization in the chaotic and barbaric region, and then two thousand years, the civilization area of the Xiangzhou continent has been developed more than ten times, but this development is not evenly spread, thousands of miles southeast of Qingyun City, that is, the area south of Teng Zhiguo, including the Huahai Plain and the Huaishan Mountain Range, has always been the edge of the Xiangzhou continent.

Poverty, backwardness, risk, inaccessibility, in a nutshell, this is the main characteristic of the marginal area, Wang Jiu took four teenagers and girls to walk in the marginal area for two days, there are no cities and villages that can be replenished, there is no straight and smooth road, and even encountered a few sneak attacks by mountain spirits who are not long-eyed.

Even so, compared to the real sense of the barbaric border, the Huahai and Huaishan regions are still much safer, almost no demon spirit can bypass the defense line of the civilized border and invade the civilized territory of human beings, in addition, most of the mountain spirits and wild monsters also abide by their duties, silently thrive in inaccessible areas, only a very small number of areas, there will be active mountain spirits and wild monsters and humans to compete for living space.

The sneak attack of the mountain spirits encountered by Wang Jiu and his party along the way was at most a pickpocket at a transportation hub, which was too much civilized compared to the kind of barbaric area where people killed people and set fires without scruples.

“…… So, what are those real barbaric frontiers like? ”

Shen Qingming asked with a hair of dead leaves.

Not long ago, when a few people were walking through a woodland, a few half-human-tall vine spirits were crazy and aimed at a few people to whip the highly poisonous wattle strips, because the incident suddenly happened without warning, Wang Jiu deliberately did not remind, Shen Qingming and others were in a hurry, and even Li Wanqing was just barely protecting herself - she was facing the leader of the vine spirits, and her strength was much stronger than that of the miscellaneous soldiers.

Li Chaolu and Li Xinyu were also eye-opening, and they couldn't imagine that even in the civilized area of their common sense, they would encounter danger so casually.

In their cognition, this world is very different from two thousand years ago, even Heavenly City, Golden Jade City, Qingyun City...... More than a dozen large cities are like the sun in the sky, shining the light of civilization in all directions, using them as fulcrums, hundreds of sub-cities support the civilization network of Xiangzhou, and further down, thousands of towns and millions of villages are dotted around, filling all the fields of civilization.

In these areas, everything is in order and peaceful, at least it is impossible to pass through a forest and be attacked by vine spirits!

It's just, so unreasonable!

Compared with the embarrassment during the battle, several young people cared more about this kind of grievance, I didn't do anything, but I was going to be slapped in the face with poisonous wattles. With their background and status, they are already very qualified not to bully men and women in the government, so why should they be approached by someone like this?

Among the few people, only Li Wanqing, who has more life experience, feels that it doesn't matter, and just wants to take advantage of Shen Qingming's grievances to lean over and hug her. The other three were all indignant, and they had a bit of a desire to set fire to the mountain for revenge.

At this point, Wang Jiu made a concluding statement: "In fact, this is purely your own effort, your sense of existence is too strong, you don't restrain your true yuan fluctuations when you walk, and it is like a torch in this woodland, it is easy to disturb the sleeping plants." ”

As soon as these words came out, the four of them fell silent, and after a while, Shen Qingming spoke: "Could it be that it is our fault to be attacked by someone?" ”

"From the perspective of the vine spirit, your undisguised True Yuan fluctuation is a preemptive sneak attack."

Li Wanqing said: "Those three newcomers aside, I should have always paid attention to reining in my true yuan fluctuations, why did it be the leader of the vine spirit who found me?" ”

Wang Jiu said: "Your perfume is a plant fragrance extract, which has an aphrodisiac effect on the vine spirit, and was found by the leader because in the vine spirit group, it is generally mated by the head first. ”

Li Wanqing was simply dumbfounded: "Fuji Spirit, estrus for me, a human!?" ”

Wang Jiu said: "This is the Tan vine spirit, the most violent and uninhibited of all the vine spirits, energetic and not picky eaters, and has always had the reputation of the teddy in the vine spirits." ”

"So this is Tan's vine essence?!" Li Xinyu suddenly let out a surprise cheer, "I knew this was the case, I ...... it"

Li Chaolu kicked out: "I knew that you would collect seeds and cultivate them at home, didn't you!?" ”

"I, I don't have ......"

"You think I don't know what you're thinking? "Fat House Reincarnation in Another World: The Three-way Journey of Rattan and Beautiful Girl", right!? ”

"How do you know!?"

"After Aunt Wenjun received your application for borrowing books, you were not at home when the books were delivered, so please ask me to hand them over...... If it weren't for the fact that the owner of the book was Aunt Wenjun, I would have burned it on the spot! ”

"I was wrong, please don't tell my mother."

"It's late, my mother already knows, wait to go back and be taught by her."

Wang Jiu ignored the two of them and continued to educate: "In addition, including Li Wanqing, the way of constricting the fluctuations of the true yuan is too rigid, a typical scholastic style. The applicability in the face of a complex environment is very poor, and it may not be reflected in such a relatively peaceful area, but if it is in a chaotic and barbaric area, basically everyone is the king of trains. ”

Although they didn't know what the word of the Train King meant in the flood era, several people understood what Wang Jiu wanted to say. Each fell into silence and reflection.

It wasn't until it was getting late and the sun was setting that Shen Qingming said leisurely: "...... So, Ah Jiu, is this a vivid on-site teaching that you have prepared for us? ”

Wang Jiu said: "Of course not, with your intellectual level, it is difficult to understand the joy of learning, and if you organize on-site teaching, it will definitely make you feel bored." ”

“……”

"It's just a fun part of the hike that I use to enrich it."

Shen Qingming asked, "If I say it's not interesting at all, then I'm going to experience the Sword Mountain and the Sea of Fire, right?" ”

Wang Jiu gave a thumbs up: "You are smarter than your ancestor Shen Kaishan, he didn't realize how interesting my design was until his hair and eyebrows were burned out. ”

“…… Okay, now that we've all realized how funny and humorous you are, can we leave for Shencheng as soon as possible? ”

Wang Jiu said: "Of course you can, in fact, we don't have more time to spend on entertainment in the future, and there is only a little more than a month before Shen Ruoshi's birthday banquet, and our preparation time is quite limited." ”

"So you know we're limited in time!"

"That's why I've combined preparation with entertainment to improve efficiency," Wang said. ”

“…… What kind of preparation is this kind of leaf-soaked hike? ”

"Considering the delicate relationship between you and the Shen family, I think that a bad and long trip, as well as the embarrassment all over the body, can both reflect the sincerity of our long trip to celebrate our birthday, and also delight their sensitive nerves."

“……”

Wang Jiu said: "So we will turn northeast along this river, and we can reach Yulin Village about this evening, settle there for one night, sleep for two hours briefly, and we can reach Shencheng before the next morning—I think that sleepy-eyed and oily appearance is more conducive to winning the favor of the Shen family." ”

Shen Qingming was also convinced by the thinking circuit of this Outer Heaven Divine Sword, so he was speechless, while Li Chaolu looked intoxicated and muttered in a low voice: "Mr. Wang Jiu's far-sighted appearance is really handsome......"

Only Li Wanqing took out a map, and after searching for a long time, she couldn't find the location of the so-called Yulin Village.

"There is no such small village on the traditional map, and you can only find a gourmet's praise for the fish soup of the small fishing village two hundred miles south of Shencheng on page 174 of the local food guide in Shencheng."

"......" Li Wanqing pinched the map and opened her mouth to stammer, she had nothing to say about the nuances of this sword spirit.

Wang Jiu said with great interest: "It is said that only the fish soup made from fresh fish caught in the evening is the most delicious, so if we speed up the journey now, we can arrive in Yulin Village at the right time for dinner!" ”

"It sounds like there's finally a really fun part of the trip." Shen Qingming said exhaustedly.

——

Under Wang Jiu's command, the group quickened their pace and finally arrived at Yulin Village in the evening of the same day.

It is a small village with a population of only a few hundred, and it was originally called Yulin Village because of the local fresh fish.

The group claimed to be travelers from afar and found a private house to spend the night. After paying dozens of taels of silver, Wang Jiu also succeeded in convincing the young and beautiful little fish lady in the private family to take advantage of the night to fish for them and serve them delicious fish soup.

After drinking the fish soup, with the warmth in their stomachs, several people gathered in the vacant warehouse of the people's house, ready to start a short rest. Before going to bed, Shen Qingming also made a simple embarrassing makeup under the command of Wang Jiu to cope with the actual combat test in the early morning of the next day......

However, just as the group was about to go to bed, there was a shrill hum, and then a panicked uproar in the village stirred.

Several monks immediately opened their eyes, pranayama, concentrated, and prepared for all changes. And a moment later, the door was opened vigorously, and the delicate little fish girl shouted anxiously: "Prepare quickly, and take refuge in the village chief's house with me...... Eh, you're all set? ”

Wang Jiu was dressed in white, like a heavenly immortal descending to earth in the moonlight, but his face was extremely solemn.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qingming asked.

"Goblins, and there are quite a few of them." After a pause, Wang Jiu said, "Get ready to fight." ”
