Chapter 21: Ascending the Mountain

In the Black Armor Battalion, the training content in the morning is generally to practice boxing and martial arts, and in the afternoon, it is generally weight-bearing running, fighting, moving stones, locks, grinding discs, and so on. txt eBook Download/

He Wuxian trained with the soldiers, meticulously, without the slightest hint of the young master's arrogance.

Even if he was sweaty and out of breath, he never cried out that he was tired.

And he found that after the high-intensity physical training, his strength was gradually improving, and the speed of improvement was obvious.

He found that on the light curtain of the character attributes in his mind, the experience points had become four thousand nine, and it took six thousand experience points to upgrade to a seventh-level martial apprentice.

"I didn't expect that physical training and martial arts cultivation can also increase experience, and it can also be upgraded. However, in comparison, killing monsters to level up is faster, and gaining experience through physical training and cultivation is too slow. ”

After more than half a month of exploration, He Wuxian also has a better understanding of the upgrade system of the sword soul.

If he didn't have this upgrade system, he could also advance to become stronger through guò cultivation and physical training, but that speed was too slow, after all, the owner of this body was a waste, and his cultivation speed was very slow.

But he has an upgrade system, and there are two more ways to become stronger, killing monsters to upgrade and using the blood-drinking knife to absorb the power of others.

Moreover, the most important thing is that he can clearly know how much he has become stronger and how much his strength has increased, because this can be seen from the increase in experience points.

During the break, He Wuxian was still pondering these things in his heart.

Of course, he also saw the soldiers not far away, discussing something together, stealing ill-intentioned glances at him from time to time.

Those people were all Wu Chang Wu Datou's subordinates, and they were in the same barracks as He Wuxian, and several of them were also eyeing He Wuxian.

Although He Wuxian knew that they had bad intentions, he was not afraid at all, and he was confident that he could put down these unruly veterans.

It's just that he is most urgent to improve his strength now, otherwise those veterans no longer have scruples, and when they really beat him, his strength is low, and he will definitely be beaten.

"I came to the Black Armor Camp to be able to kill monsters and upgrade, not to train like this every day. I really don't know how long this kind of day will pass, and when will I be able to kill fierce beasts in the mountains and forests?"

After the sun set, in the evening, after eating, He Wuxian, who had eaten, was still sitting on the bed thinking about this question.

At this moment, Wu Datou, the commander of the army, walked in and brought a military order.

"Everyone immediately sorted out their equipment and weapons, and tonight it will be our team's turn to go up the mountain to guard, and I will give you a hundred breaths to prepare. ”

In the barracks, except for He Wuxian, the other eight veterans were there, and they were all stunned when they heard Wu Datou's words.

A burly black man asked suspiciously, "Wu Tou'er, didn't we only be on duty once a few days ago? Why is it our turn again? It can't be a mistake, right?"

Several other veterans also thought the same way, and they all nodded again and again, asking Wu Datou if he was mistaken.

However, Wu Datou's face sank, his eyes swept the faces of the eight veterans majestically, and he scolded coldly: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, this is a military order, hurry up and prepare to go." ”

The other veterans suddenly shrunk their necks and reluctantly put on their armor.

There were one or two clever people who looked at He Wuxian at the door, with a relieved look on their faces, and their eyebrows were also filled with ill intentions.

Originally, when He Wuxian heard that he was going to go up the mountain to guard and deal with the beasts, his heart was suddenly full of expectations.

Today he was still worried about this problem, but he didn't expect it to be realized immediately, and of course he was in a very happy mood.

However, when he heard the questions of those veterans, he kept an eye on them, and after seeing their reactions, he somewhat understood in his heart.

"Hmph, according to past experience, each team will only be on duty once a month, and now they are on duty again, it seems that it is not so simple, most of them are special care for me, right?"

Thinking of this, He Wuxian also paid more attention, he sensed that this military camp was full of hostility towards him, so he was more cautious, so as not to suffer a big loss.

Of course, in any case, he was still very happy to be able to fulfill his wish, and he couldn't wait to put on his armor, prepare dry food and water, and go to the school yard with the blood-drinking knife on his back.

Soon, the people were dressed and resolutely drove out of the barracks and marched to the west of the hills.

He Wuxian was wearing armor woven with iron wire and iron sheets, and his whole body was dark black, which was the standard armor of the Black Armor Battalion, which had strong defensive power, and the name of the Black Armor Battalion came from this.

However, this armor is very heavy, more than 20 pounds, heavy on the body, and it is not easy to walk and breathe, let alone climb mountains.

Looking at the brisk steps of the other nine people in the team, skillfully walking through the rugged and rugged mountains and forests, He Wuxian also had to admire them, they were really elite soldiers.

The group ascended the mountain from the entrance of the canyon, and the ascent was only a very rugged path, and it was overgrown with thorny jungles, which needed to be cut by swords.

There is a guard every other mile on the top of the mountain, and ten soldiers are on duty, which is to prevent fierce beasts or demon beasts from crossing the mountain range and running to Yujing City to endanger the people.

Half an hour later, they reached the top of the hill and came to a dilapidated thatched hut, a simple thatched hut made of branch thatch on a large tree embraced by five people.

Outside the thatched hut, ten soldiers in armor and holding long knives were waiting.

After Wu Datou, the captain of the team, handed over the guard, the other party went down the mountain, and then Wu Datou's team was on duty here.

"Listen, everyone, now we will be on duty for a day and a night, until tomorrow afternoon before dark. ”

Subsequently, Wu Datou began to arrange tasks.

"Li Dazhuang, Zhao Tiezhu, Yan Sangou, why don't you hate, the four of you are a team, and I will personally take you on patrol, turn back under the big tree in front, and change guards with the remaining five people. ”

Ten people were divided into two groups by Wu Youqian, five people were on duty at the thatched hut, and five people patrolled, and after patrolling one circle, they came back to change shifts with the people on duty at the thatched hut.

After the task was assigned, Wu Datou beckoned to He Wuxian and the others, and led them into the lush jungle.

There are such thousands of high mountains on both sides of the canyon, and the Black Armor Battalion has set up one guard after another on the top of the mountain, using countless soldiers to form a safety net to block the fierce beasts in the Tiger Mountain Range and protect the safety of Yujing City.

The summit of the mountain was rugged and difficult, and it was full of thorns and bushes, and there were all kinds of rocks, so the speed of the patrol was very slow.

Of course, these are just minor problems, although they are a little hard and tiring, and they are nothing to a few martial artists.

What is really dangerous is the fierce beasts that may rush out of the mountains and forests at any time, and that is the fatal test for everyone.

In the decades since the Black Armor Battalion was stationed in the Tiger Mountain Range, soldiers died every day at the claws of fierce beasts, dying to defend the Jade Capital City.

While patrolling, everyone also began to chat, He Wuxian remained silent, and also heard a lot of information, and gradually got to know these people.

The leader Wu Youqian is a ninth-level martial artist, because he is short and strong but has a big head, so he is nicknamed Wu Datou, he has been a soldier in the black armor camp for ten years, and there are at least hundreds of fierce beasts slaughtered.

Zhao Tiezhu, Li Dazhuang and Yan Sangou, these three are weaker, they are all eighth-level martial apprentices, and they have been soldiers in the Black Armor Battalion for four years.

These three people are all from the same place, they used to be little hooligans and ruffians in the market, and they have excellent feelings for each other, in He Wuxian's words, these are three good friends.

Halfway through the patrol, the wind and waves were calm, not even a rabbit was seen, and everyone's mood was much more relaxed.

At this time, the sky is already dark, the branches and leaves in the mountains and forests are luxuriant, even if it is the silver-white moon in the high sky, it is difficult to penetrate the leaves, and the moonlight is sprinkled in, and the mountains and forests are particularly gloomy, and you can't see your fingers.

In addition, the mountain wind was howling, the branches and crowns were blown and swaying, and the mountain forest was heard from time to time with the roar of beasts and birds, which made the mountain forest even more terrifying, and the timid people did not dare to stay here at all.

Moreover, the temperature on the top of the mountain was very low, and He Wuxian couldn't help but shrink his neck, feeling a little cold.

At this time, Wu Datou stopped, motioned for everyone to be silent, listened attentively for a moment, and then turned back to everyone with a solemn face: "Brothers, there is movement ahead, it must be a fierce big guy." Zhao Tiezhu, Li Dazhuang, Yan Sangou, the three of you come with me, let's go see what kind of beast is doing it. ”

"As for He Wuxian, you are a new recruit, and you are the grandson of He Dashuai, I won't let you participate in this kind of risky thing, you just wait for us here. You obediently stay here and don't move, and when we deal with the beast in front of us, we'll come back to you. ”

After finishing speaking, Wu Datou took the other three people and walked into the forest quickly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving He Wuxian standing alone.
