"Stop, stop!"

When Chen Zheng ran down from the low mountain, it obviously aroused the vigilance and precaution of the merchant team in the wilderness, and he stopped moving forward as soon as he shouted.

In today's world, doing business in the layman is a high-risk activity, and how strange it is for a person to suddenly come out of the wilderness.

Wow!

Seeing someone attacking, the ten martial artists immediately drew their swords out of their sheaths, set up a formation, surrounded the horses carrying the goods in the middle, and made a fighting posture;

And Chen Zheng ran extremely fast, and in a few blinks of an eye, he rushed down the low hill and quickly approached the team.

The man at the head of the caravan pulled the reins quite nervously, took two steps forward, and shouted loudly:

"Who's coming up ahead?"

Chen Zheng was not reckless, and when he approached this team for more than ten feet, he stopped, pointed behind him, and raised his voice:

"Don't be nervous, I have no ill will."

"I am a hunter who lives in the mountains and forests around here, and I want to go to Lingqiu County, but unfortunately I don't know the direction and there are no horses to travel, so I want to exchange the mountain goods for a route map, plus a horse to hurry."

As he spoke, he took down the large volume of animal skins from behind his back, and unfolded the most valuable complete tiger skin to the team of martial artists:

"I'll trade this tiger skin in exchange, okay?"

Orions in the nearby mountain forest?

In today's world, strange and frequent occurrences in the barren mountains and mountains, there are wild demons and ghosts wandering from time to time, and there is even no lack of evil-level horror demons, and ordinary people do not dare to live in isolation from the group.

Moreover, Chen Zheng in their eyes is eight feet tall, strong and burly, and his temperament is wild and fierce inside and out, at first glance, he is a martial arts master who is not easy to mess with, which is what an ordinary hunter can look like?

The leader of the martial arts division was suspicious, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he directly refused:

"I'm sorry my friend, but we have a limited number of horses, and they're all loaded with goods, so I'm afraid we won't be able to sell them to you. As for the route map..... Meeting is fate, and it doesn't hurt if we just give you one. ”

"Is that ......?"

The goal was only half achieved, and Chen Zheng was not good at buying and selling, so he frowned:

"Well, I'll thank you for your kindness."

"It's okay, it's okay."

The leading martial artist still paid attention to Chen Zheng vigilantly, groped out a leather map from under the saddle, and then dismounted and took a few steps forward directly and put it on the ground:

"The map is here, I'll take my leave."

After speaking, he didn't wait for Chen Zheng's response before returning to his horse, and with a wave of his hand, he led the other martial artists who were like facing the enemy, bypassing Chen Zheng's location and continuing to move forward.

And in this process, although each of them had already put the knife into the sheath, they all pressed the handle of the knife tightly, staring at Chen Zheng's every move, as if they were afraid that he would suddenly burst out and attack.

I'm that scary right now?

Seeing that these people were so cautious, Chen Zheng looked down at his savage king-like image, and he was also speechless.

But think about it.

Bandits, demons, and ghosts, the warriors of this world are full of dangers, each of which is enough to kill a person.

As the saying goes, if you don't get your shoes wet when you stand by the river, in addition to luck, you must be cautious enough to live a long time.

This team seems to have a very average strength background, and it is obvious that this is particularly carried out.

Dada, dada, dada......

After the team cautiously moved away, everyone was relieved to see that Chen Zheng had not moved, and then left quickly.

Chen Zheng had already stepped forward and picked up the map that the other party had placed on the ground, unfolded it with one hand, and studied it carefully.

Naturally, this map was much more detailed than the one he had made himself.

It accurately marks the location and business routes of Heishi Town, Miyun Town, Bashan Town, Cangzhi County, Shayuan County, Yongchuan County, and then Lingqiu County, the largest city in this area.

Even some of the footholds, water sources, and dangerous areas infested by bandits or demons along the way are marked.

"Yes, yes, with this, you don't have to look at it with both eyes."

A big problem was solved, and Chen Zheng was very satisfied.

But looking at the route map, he began to worry again in a blink of an eye:

"From here to Lingqiu County, let alone more than a thousand miles, there is no horse to travel, do you have to run all the way over?"

With his current cultivation method, the speed is like the wind under the full force of the wild run, and it is difficult for any thousand miles to catch up.

The problem is that it is only a short burst, and it is certainly unsustainable to run for a long time.

Moreover, he also brought large bags of sundries such as animal skins, water bags, and medicinal herbs, which was even more troublesome.

"I'm trying my luck."

After thinking about it, he put on the large volume of animal skins on his back and returned to the vicinity of the low mountain, and continued to wait.

This is the trade road between Bashan Town and Shayuan County, and the caravans must be more than just now, and the caravans will be equipped with additional horses for transfers, and he plans to try his luck again to see if he can change to the horses for transportation.

And so on, another half an hour passed.

Then, in the distant wilderness, a small group of men and horses appeared in the distance, raising sand and dust and galloping all the way.

This team of men and horses also belonged to the light load, there were no carriages and other baggage, and the number of people was even less than the team just now, only seven.

There are more horses than men, and I don't know what kind of goods they carry.

When this team of people approached, Chen Zheng repeated his old tricks and immediately appeared to meet them.

"What people!"

Although the number of this team is inferior, its momentum is much stronger than the pair just now, and after discovering Chen Zheng, he immediately slowed down and shouted loudly from afar.

Twenty feet away, Chen Zheng stopped and stepped forward slowly, raised the tiger skin to show that he had no malicious intent, and said in a long voice:

"Everyone, I am a hunter in the mountains and forests, and I plan to go to Lingqiu County, but I have traveled thousands of miles and there are no horses to travel, so I want to exchange this leather for a horse, I don't know if it's okay?"

Orion, tiger skin for horse?

Hearing this, the team looked at Chen Zheng suspiciously, and then looked at a black-robed man at the head of the team.

The man at the head was about thirty years old, tall, magnificent, with a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle, bright and bright, obviously a master of martial arts.

He squinted his eyes on horseback and looked at it carefully, playing with taste:

"Oh? Coincidentally, we are also going back to Lingqiu County, let me see how the tiger skin is in condition? ”

This person is obviously a good cultivator, a master of art, and a bold person, and he seems to be not afraid of the malice of those who come.

Chen Zheng's heart moved slightly, so he calmly stepped forward with the tiger skin and showed it.

The one he hunted belonged to an adult Menghu, and it may be a tiger king-like existence, with a huge size and extraordinary might.

And he paid special attention to it when he shot at that time, and it did not damage the fur, so it was very complete and in excellent condition.

A complete tiger skin is not difficult to buy a few gold baht when you meet the right buyer, and it is more than enough to change a horse.

After looking at it, the black-robed man at the head nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand:

"Okay, this tiger skin is very good, it can be given to Master and his old man as a gift, he should like it. This deal is not a loss, Ah He, give him the horse we transferred! ”

Known as Ah He, he is a fierce young martial artist.

He was stunned for a moment, then turned over and dismounted, then took out an idle tall horse from the ranks, walked cautiously, pressed the knife in one hand, and handed the reins in the other:

"Here you go."

Chen Zheng didn't care about the other party's defense, and immediately presented the tiger skin and took the reins.

At this time, the black-robed man at the head of the team suddenly smiled and said:

"Since this friend is going to Lingqiu County, he happens to be on the same road as us. We are disciples of the Lingqiu County Thunder Martial Arts Dojo, do you want to walk with us all the way, so that we can take care of us? ”

When the words fell, the surrounding martial artists suddenly looked different and looked at each other.

Well?

didn't expect the other party to make such an invitation, and Chen Zheng couldn't help but be surprised.

He knew that the martial arts dojo was a place similar to a martial arts hall and a sect, and it generally recruited disciples from the common people, and it belonged to the common martial arts forces among the people, and this thunder martial arts dojo was nothing more than that.

But people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, this person and himself dare to invite peers without knowing each other, should it be said that it is his ancient way of hot intestines, or is there something else?

However, the current Chen Zheng is also a master of art and bold.

In addition, he didn't know anything about the situation in Lingqiu County, so he really needed to ask people for news and understand the situation, so he muttered and said:

"It would be nice if you could, but wouldn't it bother you?"

The black-robed man laughed:

"It's not easy for me to wait outside, but I'm just walking along the way, so why bother?"

Speaking of this, Chen Zheng arched his hand:

"Okay, then thank you brother."

"It doesn't matter."

The black-robed man waved his hand dashingly and pulled the reins:

"Let's go!"

The martial artists' eyes sparkled, they glanced at each other, and then followed the journey.

Chen Zheng also placed the things he was carrying on the horse, then turned over on the horse and started to run behind the team.

At the front of the team, two men, one on the left and one on the right, glanced back, and quickly juxtaposed with the black-robed man led by him, and his voice was condensed:

"Senior brother, this person is a little suspicious. I see him as restrained and strong, not like a hunter. ”

"There have been a lot of small movements in those houses recently, and our team has been in trouble several times, will this person be ......?"

"For the time being, I can't determine who this person is and what his purpose is."

In the gallop, the wind blew in his face, and the black-robed man led by him said coldly:

"That's why I invited this person to come with me to see what kind of medicine he wants to sell in his gourd!"

......

Naturally, he couldn't hear the talk at the front of the team, so Chen Zheng was at the end of the team, galloping all the way.

Even when they were on the road together, he never gave up his vigilance, kept a distance of twenty or thirty zhang from the front at all times, and compared the map from time to time to see if the route was deviated.

During the period, he occasionally rested halfway, and the black-robed man led by him also sent someone to bring dry food and water, but Chen Zheng did not move, only eating the dried meat and mountain spring water he carried.

In this way, after driving for most of the day, the sun is setting in the west, red clouds are everywhere, and it is dusk.

They rushed to a desolate wind-eroded mountainous terrain, full of rolling and weathered hills, like irregular pagodas, standing above the vast land.

At this moment, the sky is dark, and the wind and sand have become extremely fierce.

The black-robed man led the team to a sheltered hill and ordered everyone to dismount and repair for the night.

Chen Zheng, who arrived later, naturally dismounted with him, and found a corner alone with great interest, and gnawed on the jerky again.

The disciples of the Thunder Martial Arts Dojo not far away didn't care, they lit a bonfire, boiled broth, ate and drank, so unhappy.

"This friend."

At this time, the black-robed man led by him came over with a water bag and said with a smile:

"I've been walking together for a day, and I don't know your name yet?"

Chen Zheng responded: "Under Chen Zheng." Don't know your name? ”

"Ji Xunyi."

The black-robed man smiled:

"It's also fate to meet and walk together in this vast wilderness, you don't have to see outside, why don't you go over and join us?"

Raising his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Chen Zheng smiled:

"Thank you for the invitation, but it doesn't have to be. I've lived in the mountains since I was a child, and I rarely communicate with others, so I'm worried about sweeping away your Yaxing. ”

"Oh?"

Ji Xunyi raised his eyebrows, and sat down opposite unexpectedly:

"You grew up living in the mountains and forests?"

Chen Zheng, who had already compiled his identity and even the origin of his cultivation, immediately made something out of nothing:

"To tell you the truth, when I was young, I was taken by my father to live in the mountains and forests, and I took the mountains, rivers, plants and trees as friends, and watched birds and animals practice martial arts, which can be said to be isolated from the world. The only way to learn about the outside world was through the notebooks that my father would occasionally bring back from outside. ”

"Oh?"

Ji Xunyi's eyes flashed:

"I don't think you're very old, but your martial arts cultivation is quite good, not something that ordinary people can teach, who is your father's surname?"

"My father, Chen Ping, seems to have had an alias on the rivers and lakes, called King Kong Badao."

Chen Zheng had no father, and sighed:

It's a pity that he fought with people on the rivers and lakes, although he used to be beautiful, but he also fell into an injury, and finally secretly retired and came to the border wilderness. It's a pity that I was born as a son of man, but I never knew about his life. ”

King Kong Sword?

In a few words, a mysterious image story is revealed.

Ji Xunyi, who is knowledgeable but has never heard of this alias, frowned:

"So, your father is dead?"

"Not bad."

Chen Zheng nodded and smiled:

"It was because of my father's death, and his last words that allowed me to go out of the mountains and forests, that I ran out on the mountain road to intercept the passing caravans.

In fact, I have intercepted a caravan before you, and I want to change the horse, the route, and the map. However, they seemed very wary of me, and in the end they only gave me a map.

I'm glad I met you, otherwise I wouldn't have known how to get to Lingqiu County. ”

“......”

Hearing this, Ji Xunyi's eyes revealed a little strangeness, and he didn't know how to answer.

Of course, the other party's words are not necessarily true.

The problem is that even if it's fake, you can make up a normal story, so why make up such a bizarre story with yourself?

Could it be that you are wrong in your own suspicions?

This person is really a descendant cultivated by a deceased master who secretly retired and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests?
