Chapter 3: Wonderful Dinner
The man who was knocked out by Shenhuan took a long time before he woke up from his coma. When the man woke up, he found that the three of Shenhuan were looking at him around, and hurriedly explained, "I have no ill intentions. ”
"If you have bad intentions, you're dead. Shen Huan straightened his black trench coat, "Tell me, what is the purpose of you following us and eavesdropping outside the door? Who sent you?"
As soon as the man thought that he was also a good hand at the Xuan Rank, he followed these little-known treasure hunters all the way to this inn, and was discovered as soon as he eavesdropped at the door, so he said with a bitter face: "My name is Dong Xi, and I was sent by the city lord. ”
"City Lord?" Shen Huan and the three exchanged glances and motioned for Dong Xi to continue.
"The task entrusted to you this time is very important to the city lord. That's why send me to wait outside the liquor store and follow the three of you. First, let's hear about your plan, and second, let's ......" Dong Xi hesitated slightly.
"Second, test our strength?" Shen Huan snorted coldly. The man smiled awkwardly when he heard this, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
"Oh, I said Shenhuan, don't have a cold face. You see that you are such a young and handsome young man, although you are not as handsome as me, but you always have a cold face and will scare away those wonderful girls. Zhuo Qing interjected with a smile, "This guy doesn't have any malicious intent. The castle lord's worries are also justified, and it is normal for a low-key person like us to be occasionally suspicious. ”
Dong Xi nodded vigorously beside him, supporting Zhuo Qing's words.
"Then you take care of this matter, and call me when you leave tomorrow morning. Shen Huan didn't express any dissatisfaction and went out to his room.
"I went to sleep too. After Tu Lie finished speaking, he yawned twice and went back to his room to rest.
"Alas. It's just the two of us. It's been a long night, and I always need to have some fun......" Without waiting for Zhuo Qing to finish speaking, Dong Xi seemed to think of something bad, and took three steps back, his face extremely ugly.
Zhuo Qing shook the folding fan lightly, looked at Dong Xi with a smile, and said, "What are you afraid of, I'm just a storyteller, a serious storyteller, and an elegant storyteller." There is no particular hobby you think. Go back and tell the city lord that since we have taken this task, we will definitely complete it. As for our abilities, there's nothing to doubt about them, is there?"
Dong Xi nodded yes and retreated sweatingly. I went back and gave my life to the lord of the city.
"This poor fellow, frightened by that pervert of Shenhuan. A good hand at the Xuan Rank, I'm actually afraid of being like this, I'm just a Xuan Rank. I'm a civilized and elegant storyteller, not the two violent maniacs of Shenhuan and Tu Lie, what are you afraid of in front of me. Alas, what a ......"
A month later, three strange figures appeared on the official road at the border of Lanzhou. A strong man carried a huge hammer, held a leg of mutton or an animal in one hand and gnawed on it, and carried a huge cloth bag on his body, which should contain dry food and water prepared by the three of them for a long journey.
One person was still wearing a black trench coat under the scorching sun, and he didn't seem to feel the hot weather at all.
The last man was obviously too hot to stand it, and fanned the red folding fan in his hand vigorously, but he kept talking while fanning and working.
"I said Tu Lie, can you stop eating, can you not eat while hurrying. Image, image. God, don't you know that you have to maintain your image when you walk outside?"
"Grooms don't need images. Tu Lie chewed on the meat he had just bitten off and replied vaguely.
"Alas...... Shenhuan, you can also talk about him, I'm alone in the grinding of the skin. However, Shenhuan, can you change this windbreaker, I know that you are woven by the silk of the unique Xuan-level beast Ice Flower Snow Butterfly in Haizhou, and you are not afraid of the cold or the heat. But it's a rarity. Under this bright sun, you wear a long trench coat, which is too eye-catching. ”
"The fiery red folding fan is not eye-catching?"
"......" Zhuo Qing was once again choked by Shenhuan and was speechless.
The three of them rushed for another day and entered the Wangcang Forest in Lanzhou. "This is the Forest of Hope. Zhuo Qing looked at the map, "From our location, all the way west out of this forest, you can see the destination Cangyun Mountain." However, this forest of hope is really big enough, and I don't know how many days we will have to walk. ”
It was getting late, and the three of them decided to rest at the edge of the forest for the night and then enter the forest tomorrow. "Shall I get some game?" Tu Lie asked Shen Huan and Zhuo Qing for their opinions. "Well, there you go. Zhuo Qing nodded, "If you can, get more, and you can keep it for several days when it's dried." Although we prepared enough bread and water, we couldn't eat bread all the time. Tu Lie put down the huge bag of dry food on his body and carried his sledgehammer into the forest.
Not long after, when Tu Lie returned, there was a strong wild boar on his shoulder, and two hares hanging from his waist. "Why aren't there wild beasts? "Zhuo Qing is very dissatisfied, there is a special nutrient in the flesh of the beast, which can help their Gang Qi cultivation, although the effect is weak, but over time, there is always some help. Gang Qi is the foundation of all power, and no matter whether it is a combat skill or a spell, it needs enough Gang Qi to unleash.
"I didn't find a wild beast, bad luck. Tu Lie was obviously unhappy as well.
While the two were talking, Shen Huan had already lit a fire. The three of them worked for a while, shaved, skinned and dismembered the wild boar and put it on the fire. As for the two rabbits, it was even simpler, and after they were cleaned, they were directly roasted on the fire. Tu Lie took out some seasoning from the big bag and sprinkled it on the barbecue. It's always been his job. Whether it is Shenhuan or Zhuoqing, the level of seasoning is still in the infant stage. In a short time, the smell of barbecue spread across the small camp that had just been set up.
"It smells, it tastes good. Zhuo Qing admired Tu Lie's tall man in cooking, and turned his head to Tu Lie and said, "I just don't know if this alluring fragrance will attract the beasts in the forest." ”
"The smell of roasted meat does not necessarily attract the beasts of the woods, but the whereabouts of the prey always arouse the interest of the hunter. Shen Huan stood up as he spoke, his right hand reaching into his black trench coat.
"It's just right to come, I haven't met a thief who doesn't open my eyes for a month all the way from Shengzhou, and I'm almost sick. Tu Lie immediately became excited when he heard Shenhuan's words, and his hand was already on his giant hammer that was too big to speak.
Zhuo Qing shook his head helplessly: "You guys, I said, how bad it is to fight and kill, I am just a storyteller, and I am a civilized person! You guys play. With that, Zhuo Qing put the folding fan on his waist, lay down on the spot, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
After about half a minute, more than 100 people walked out of the forest, all with big axes in their hands. The leading man was dressed in tight-fitting soft armor, a green headband, three daggers stuck in his waist, and a slender stabbing sword in his hand. Tu Lie looked at the group carefully, and his eyes narrowed: "A good gang of little bandits, the leader is a Xuan Rank, and half of the hundreds of people are Yellow Rank. That's a lot. ”
The bandit head also discovered that the target this time turned out to be three Xuan Ranks. Relying on the large number of people, although he was not afraid in his heart, he did not want his subordinates to cause a big loss. The head of the bandit shouted loudly: "Those three guys on the other side, Uncle Ben is in a good mood, hand over his belongings, and offer your combat skills." Spare you from dying. ”
Hearing the sound, Zhuo Qing, who was lying down, covered his face with one hand, with an unbearable expression, and muttered in a low voice: "This fool is dead." ”
Tu Lie laughed and asked at Shenhuan, "What did he say? Hand over his belongings and combat skills? He still wants combat skills?" Hahahaha, Uncle Tu Lie laughed to death. After laughing, Tu Lie lifted his terrifying hammer, rushed straight at the bandits, and shouted: "Aren't you looking for combat skills? ”
The leader of the bandits didn't expect Tu Lie not only to be arrested without restraint, but also to dare to make a move on them alone, his nose was almost crooked, and he also shouted: "Little ones, slaughter this idiot!" With the leader's order, the hundred or so bandits, carrying the axe in their hands, roared and rushed towards Tu Lie.
"Come on, come on, see the combat skills you want, first of all, the 'Hammer Combat Technique-Yanluo'. Tu Lie jumped seven or eight meters high, and the qi wrapped in the giant hammer turned into a raging flame, and with Tu Lie's movements, it smashed down! The few unlucky eggs who rushed to the front were instantly roasted into charcoal, and under the strong wind brought out by the giant hammer, they turned into flying ashes, and there was no trace of their existence.
"Then, it's the 'Hammer Fighting Technique - Earth Waves'!" The giant hammer blessed with Tu Liegang's qi smashed on the ground under his huge swing, and the gangqi exploded on the surface in a special way, and a violent wave of qi hit the bandits, coupled with the strong concussion of the ground, the bandits were unstable under their feet and lost their balance. Tu Lie took advantage of the situation, and after smashing it hard, there were several more corpses on the ground that were blurred with flesh and blood and were not human-shaped.
Although Tu Lie looked like a fierce tiger, there were really many bandits, and there were nearly half of the Yellow Ranks, and the initial invincibility gradually fell into trouble after killing more than 20 people.
At this time, Shen Huan, who had been standing still, moved! Shen Huan's speed was amazingly fast, and the bandit saw a black shadow flicker in front of him, and with a flash of white light, he was already in a different place and lost consciousness. Shenhuan's figure constantly changed positions in the group of bandits, and every time he changed positions, every time the sword under the black trench coat was unsheathed and sheathed, it was the fall of a bandit.
With the addition of Shenhuan, Tu Lie also broke through the predicament of being besieged, and the hammer took several lives again. Just as Shenhuan's sword was about to reap the life of a bandit again, he was forced back a few steps by a sword that came out from the side. It turned out that the bandit leader saw that the situation was not good, and he could no longer stabilize it, so he joined the battle in person.
Tu Lie laughed like thunder again: "Shenhuan, this guy finally can't bear it anymore." And he will leave it to you. I'll play with these little ones first. ”
Shenhuan nodded, his eyes always resting on the bandit leader.
The bandit leader had a fierce look on his face, stared at Shen Huan, and said word by word: "Shen Huan, right? ”
"Huh, Pei Yi?" Zhuo Qing, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, was slightly surprised when he heard this name, sat up, squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the bandit leader in the distance: "It's not far from the portrait on the wanted notice, it's really him." 'Wind Fox' Pei Yi, he actually hid in the territory of Lanzhou. What is the bounty for his head? But we don't have too little money for this door-to-door delivery...... Life is so beautiful...... It's worth writing a paragraph, what's the name...... Well...... Let's call it "Wonderful Dinner". ”
