Chapter 142: Mountain Wind
Located 300 miles away from Nanshan County, Liangjie City is a city with a very special location.
What's so special about it?
Xiongnan Mountain, which runs east-west, is on the side of the Two Realms City, turning eastward, and the oblique direction has become a north-south direction. Walking south along the mountain range, there are endless dangerous peaks and poisonous swamps that no warrior dares to set foot in. And the people who are surrounded by Xiongnan Mountain want to go out, so they can only find a way from Xiongnan Mountain, which goes east and west.
The Two Realms City came into being. Starting from the Two Realms City to the south, and jumping straight over Xiongnan Mountain, you will reach the wide official road built by the Shaking Light Empire.
As a result, the perennial trade caravans, and the warriors who wanted to go out, all set off from the Two Realms City, climbed over the Xiongnan Mountain, and gradually formed a relatively safe mountain road. And the original Two Realms Village slowly became the Two Realms Town, and then became the Two Realms City.
And if Ling Dong wants to leave Nanshan County and reach Yanjing Shaking Light City, he must start from the Two Realms City. According to the path that the warrior walked out, he jumped over Xiongnan Mountain.
In fact, if Ling Dong's cultivation is stronger, there is a congenital six or seven layers, and Ling Dong can completely rely on his own ability, and jump from any place in Xiongnan Mountain at will, without worrying about the fierce demon beasts that may pounce out at any time in the mountain.
But now, Ling Dong's cultivation has not advanced an inch in the past half a year, so he can only be safe and jump over Xiongnan Mountain from here in the Two Realms City.
Xiongnan Mountain here in the City of the Two Realms, due to a large number of martial artists haunting all year round, there are not too many demon beasts here, and the most important thing is that there should be no hidden terrifying demon beasts in the Earth Hell Realm here, and you can rest assured that you can jump. If there were, I'm afraid that after so many years, the Two Realms City would have been destroyed long ago.
After resting for the night in the Two Realms City, and buying some dry food and water in the shop here to make some supplies, Ling Dong came to the Trading Workshop City of the Two Realms City, planning to find a demon hunting team with an escort mission to leave, which would be safer.
The mountain road, after all, is not like a big road, you can see through it at a glance, it is extremely rugged, and no one can ask for directions, if you are not familiar with the terrain, the probability of getting lost is very large. Therefore, Atom needs a guide, and joining the demon hunting team and leaving with the team is the safest way.
If Atom spends a lot of money to hire the demon hunting team as a guide, maybe halfway through, he will be hacked by the demon hunting team. In these years, there are too many warriors who slaughter fat sheep with black hands.
The laws of the Shake Light Empire don't work well in the cities, let alone in the unattended mountains and forests.
And it is very dangerous to walk alone in the mountains and forests, not only to be careful of demon beasts, but also to be careful of groups of warriors, which is also one of the reasons why gangs are prevalent.
What made Ling Dong depressed was that after standing in the trading market of the Two Realms City for a long time, there was no demon hunting team asking him for a stranger, several demon hunting teams, looking at his age and innate second-layer cultivation, shook their heads and left.
Some people even asked Ling Dong: "Which family's son-in-law are you? Why don't you go to your own clan when you come out to practice? Just a child-in-law like you, who was fed by the pill, maybe you see the demon beast's legs weaken first!"
Even if Ling Dong said that he had killed demons and seen blood, no one believed it.
After standing for a long time, Ling Dong, who had not been able to find a guide, was very depressed, and was already thinking about whether to go into the mountain alone with the simple map he bought.
Anyway, the map he bought for a hundred taels of silver was really simple enough. There are a few routes marked, and there are no places where there is water, peaks, or dangers.
"This brother, I heard that you are looking for a guide, what price?" Ling Dong was about to leave, when a young man suddenly came forward and sneered.
"The price depends on the goods, right?Are you familiar with this area??" Ling Dong looked at the young man who had taken the initiative with some vigilance. The complexion is slightly yellow, medium, not tall, and the clothes on his body look very good, and the most striking thing is that he looks very handsome!
Yes, Ling Dong originally felt that his current angular face was enough for a man! I didn't expect that the person in front of him was even more heroic than him. He has a high nose, thin lips, and very bright eyes.
"Familiar, why not familiar, I've been escorting the caravan demon hunter here as a guide for four or five years, even with my eyes closed, I can also climb this Xiongnan Mountain Range! Cultivation, innate six layers!" the young man said.
"Brother Tai is so young, he has a congenital sixth-layer cultivation, amazing!" Ling Dong was a little surprised, the young man in front of him, definitely not more than thirty years old, actually has an innate sixth-layer cultivation, there must be some way out.
"By the way, you're the only one, what do you call it?" Ling Dongchong glanced behind the young man a few times, but didn't find any accomplices.
"The surname is Wang, and the single name is a wooden character! I'm alone, a lone ranger! Why, brother, do you still want to find a demon hunting team? I'm not afraid of being swallowed by them to the point that there are no bones left, I'll be the guide alone, you can rest assured! In addition, I know a few gangs here very well!" the young man named Wang Mu introduced skillfully.
"Lone Ranger, could it be a hacker who specializes in slaughtering fat sheep in the Ran Single Gang?" Ling Dong was slightly surprised.
Among these warriors, there are all kinds of people, there is a type of people, running a single gang, deceiving some warriors who are low-minded but have a lot of martial artists into the mountains, go to a secluded place, smoke a cold knife to do it, and seize their goods, the mainland calls such warriors hackers.
This is also something that Atom only learned about after he used to gang up.
"If you are really a hacker, I'm afraid you won't do it!" Ling Dong sneered in his heart, he was afraid of demon beasts, if the hordes of demon beasts came, the gods would not be able to stop them. For demon beasts that only know how to kill with blood belly, the calculation of the warrior on the spot is not a big deal!
But if he faced a martial artist, cultivating to one or two martial artists below the Earth Evil Realm, he was really not afraid. Half a year is enough time for Atom to accumulate a rich net worth.
"Within five days, take me over Xiongnan Mountain! 10,000 taels of silver!" Ling shook his head and said a price, which was also a temptation.
"10,000 taels, the price is good!" The warrior named Wang Mu nodded: "But Xiongnan Mountain is steep, the twists and turns, the road cannot stop for hundreds of miles, how can it take ten days!"
Hearing this, Ling Dong nodded, since he can point out the problem of lack of time, then whether this person is a hacker or not, how can he be a qualified guide.
"Deal, when will you go?" asked Atom.
"If you can, bring some supplies and you can go now!" Wang Mu said.
"Then it's no problem," Atom casually took out five thousand taels of silver tickets and handed them over, "Half first, the other half after leaving the mountain!" Atom said.
Seeing the silver ticket, Wang Mu took the silver with a smile, and after carefully collecting it, he went to a few stores to buy some dried meat supplies, and then took Ling Dong up the mountain.
Don't say it, this Wang Mu is still quite capable, taking Ling Dong up the mountain, walking all the roads that have been passed by by people, very expert.
When camping at night, the place to set up the tent was very remote, and the handling of some small problems in the march was extremely perfect, making Atom impeccable.
In addition to the fact that the weapon is a little out of the way, a whip gun, an extremely unpopular weapon.
It can be used as a whip or as a gun at some times, and the lethality is very large. The few little demon beasts he encountered along the way were all solved by him on his own initiative, completely like a conscientious and conscientious guide, not at all like a hacker who kills people's lives and takes people's money.
However, Ling Dong did not relax at all, and the experience gained from countless times between life and death in his previous life told him that if he was not careful, the next moment, death would come.
It has been the fourth day since Ling Dong and this Brother Wang Mu entered Xiongnan Mountain, and they have already traveled a third of the way.
"Brother Ling, it's getting dark, you can't climb that mountain peak tonight anyway, and the higher the peak, the stronger the mountain wind, the more unsafe, why don't you rest early today and set off early tomorrow?" Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Wang Mu put his hand on his forehead and observed.
"Okay, old rule, you pack up the tent, I'll go hunt a hare or something, and have some hot food in the evening!" Ling Dong said.
On a road like this, you can be sure that it is relatively safe, but you can hunt a game or something to comfort your stomach. If it's a strange place, then you can't, the aroma of barbecue, the easiest thing to attract is the monster.
Hunting wild meat is a matter of no effort and minutes for a veteran of the mountains and forests like Atom. When cleaning up the game, Ling Dong quietly placed a small copper mirror on his side, and inadvertently kicked it with his foot, adjusted his position, and began to carefully look at Wang Mu who was setting up a tent by the reflection of the bronze mirror.
The technique is very skillful, but it is also very weird, which is why Ling Dong used a small bronze mirror to observe Wang Mu.
Just the day before yesterday, when he was camping and resting, Ling Dong, who was dealing with prey, accidentally discovered that Wang Mu, who was setting up a tent, was constantly observing him while setting up a tent.
And his gaze has changed from his usual mildness to fierceness, and his gaze stays on Atom's feet for the longest time. This made Ling Dong a little surprised, could it be that Wang Mu found the pair of camouflaged battle weapon cloud chasing boots he was wearing on his feet?
Or, is it to take advantage of the opportunity to deal with him and complete the act of killing and seizing money? Whenever this happens, Ling Dong will be very careful, in this world, there are too many people capsizing in the gutter.
The aroma of the oil made Ling Dong and Wang Mu move their index fingers at the same time, and after applying some of the condiments they brought, they were even more delicious. When he took one of the hind legs handed over by Ling Dong, Wang Mu couldn't wait to gobble it up, and asked while eating.
"Brother Ling, your roasted game is so delicious, I think it's even better than those roasted by the chefs in the city? It's been four days, and you haven't eaten a single bad one, where did you learn it?" Wang Mu asked curiously.
"If you spend a lot of time in the mountains and forests, you won't be able to force out this barbecue ability! You are the same, if you live in the mountains and forests for four or five years, it will be difficult to think about it!" Ling Dong said lightly.
When Wang Mu heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Brother Ling has been in the mountains and forests for four or five years? I think Brother Ling is only ten years old at this age, right? And how do you think Brother Ling looks like a rich boy, how can he stay in the mountains and forests for four or five years?"
Hearing Wang Mu hear this, Ling Dong also knew that he was a little speechless, but he was not in a hurry, but said incomprehensibly: "Some things, what you see, are not necessarily true"
"What you see is not necessarily real?" Wang Mu was confused by Ling's words.
"You've been through a lot of things, so you'll naturally understand this sentence!" added Ling Dong.
Hearing Ling Dong's words, Wang Mu almost didn't laugh, okay, you are a ten-year-old son, pretending to be like a master in the world, who are you bluffing.
Eating was just a small episode, and the sky in the mountains was getting dark very quickly. After dark, Ling Dong and Wang Mu went into their tents to rest.
When it is said to be resting, in fact, it is all about cultivating first and resting later. Every martial artist who breaks through the innate has the quality of diligence, and so does Ling Dong and Wang Mu.
Although Atom's cultivation now has no effect, after Atom entered the tent, he still started to cultivate cross-legged.
A lot of things are weird, like accumulation. You've tried 990 times without success, maybe the thousandth time.
Perseverance, maybe there will be changes, this is Atom's current mentality, the mentality before Liu Yaoguang was found.
However, to Ling Dong's disappointment, today's cultivation, as usual, has not changed at all!
The cyan Gangdou could no longer add any cultivation, and the golden-white Gangdou, no matter how Ling Dong operated the second layer of the Tiangang Beidou Technique, no matter how fast it rotated, it would not be able to absorb the slightest bit of Gangqi.
As an old monster who has lived for three hundred years, in Ling Dong's mind, he has not given up the word, but is just mechanically running the Tiangang Beidou Jue's exercises.
Ling's ears were full of roaring and raging mountain winds, but he was a little helpless in his heart.
At some point, the mountain wind suddenly became extremely fierce, and when it blew the tent into a hunting sound, it also brought an inexplicable fear!
Woooooo
When the terrible mountain wind sounded, an exclamation suddenly sounded nearby, the voice was a little out of tune, it seemed to be Wang Mu's, could something have happened?
When Ling Dong was thinking about collecting his work and going out to take a look, he felt a fierce tightness above his head, and the terrible mountain wind blew violently on Ling Dong's back, which shocked Ling Dong to a spirit.
"Damn, such a strong wind, Wang Mu, how did you set up a tent!" Seeing that the tent was directly blown away by the strong wind, Ling Dong couldn't help but scold, this big night, without the tent, do you want to drink the mountain wind all night?
Although he still has a spare tent in the Qiankun Ring, he can't see the light.
"How do I know, if I don't want to drink the wind all night, I'll chase after it!" Wang Mu also yelled anxiously, in the night wind, the voice sounded very weird.
"Chasing" was about to get up, and his expression was extremely surprised!
Inexplicably, at the moment when he immediately got up, the golden-white gang bucket in his body suddenly seemed to come to life, and he actually took the initiative to attract a trace of gang qi!
