Chapter 10: The Stone Snake
Hu Rong'er saw her husband and son leaving and did not follow, because she also heard Xiaoli's crying, as the girl of her prospective daughter-in-law, how could she not feel distressed, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and walked straight to the hut!
Zhang Han followed Zhang Qingfeng out of the small courtyard where he had stayed for more than three years, and said in his heart that it was not bumpy, it was fake! Holding back the desire not to look around, Zhang Han took a face towel and followed Zhang Qingfeng with his head slightly down. Because Zhang Qingfeng has already explained, out of the gate of this small courtyard, he is a guard, he can't look around, and he can't talk without letting him speak.
After following Zhang Qingfeng for an unknown amount of time, Zhang Han saw that the heel in front of him stopped, and he hurriedly stopped. As soon as he stopped, he heard Zhang Qingfeng's majestic voice sound.
"An Qiang, come here!"
There was a sound of running, and then Zhang Han heard a male voice full of energy.
"Patriarch!"
"Go out on patrol in a moment and take him with you!"
Zhang Qingfeng pointed to Zhang Han behind him.
The man named An Qiang replied cleanly.
Zhang Qingfeng turned around, his tone was dignified, and he said to Zhang Han without the slightest emotion:
"Go out in a while, everything is subject to Captain An Qiang's arrangement!"
"Yes! Patriarch! ”
Zhang Han replied in the captain's tone!
Just as Zhang Qingfeng and Zhang Han passed by, an imperceptible voice came into Zhang Han's ears.
"Son! Take care! ”
Zhang Han still stood in place and did not look back.
After Zhang Qingfeng walked away, Captain An Qiang came over, didn't care about the face towel around Zhang Han, and said coldly to Zhang Han:
"Follow me!"
Zhang Han finally raised his head, looked at Captain An Qiang, who had just turned around in front of him, and hurriedly responded!
Captain An Qiang is in front and himself is behind, as if he was behind Zhang Qingfeng just now, the only difference is that he doesn't have to keep his head down!
And Zhang Han also saw the gate of Zhang's house for the first time, the high entrance hall and the magnificent gate, a big plaque above the gate, and the word Zhangfu is magnificent! At the gate there was a team of eight people, standing in a neat line.
Zhang Han followed Captain An Qiang to the front of the team, and Captain An Qiang waved his hand to signal Zhang Han to stand at the end of the team.
After standing up, I saw Captain An Qiang waving his hand.
"Let's go!"
The ten-person team followed Captain An Qiang and ran towards the street with neat steps.
It was not yet dawn, and there were only a few pedestrians scattered on the streets in the early morning.
Zhang Han looked back at the gate of the Zhang family deeply, and he didn't linger, and continued to run towards the outside of the town with the team.
The group is running at a slow pace! Zhang Han thought that a small town might not be big, but when he trotted for about an hour and a half before seeing the exit of the town, Zhang Han changed his opinion.
Is this a small town? This is bigger than the two counties in the previous life combined! You must know that their ten-person team is not only themselves, but also the rest of them are the kind of fierce people who can jump several meters high on the spot, and they have to run out of an hour and a half!
And that's the gate of the town in front of you? What's the deal with the tall walls, the town has this configuration?
Zhang Han, who was like a bun, followed Captain An Qiang out of the town after checking the town gate.
Not long after leaving the town, the team stopped in a clearing, and Captain An Qiang skillfully divided the team and inspected the three directions of the town.
In groups of three, the two groups explored to the north and south respectively, leaving only four people, including Captain An Qiang and Zhang Han.
Captain An Qiang glanced at Zhang Han, and then with a wave of his hand, the team of four went to the east to investigate.
The four of them walked along the road to the east, and I don't know how long it took.
Suddenly, one of them hurriedly shouted.
"Captain, no! The new kid is gone! ”
saw Captain An Qiang's indifferent face.
"It was called by the patriarch, there may be something else arranged, let's not worry about it, let's continue patrolling!"
After Captain An Qiang finished speaking, he ignored the two people behind him and continued to walk forward. Obviously, Zhang Qingfeng has secretly told him in advance!
……
At this time, Zhang Han was running at high speed in a mountain rock, and his heart was happy, it was really high and the birds could fly. The three years in the small courtyard are about to get sick! After running far away, making sure that he was completely away from the town, Zhang Han stood on a boulder and took a deep breath.
"Ah~"
This voice shouted out Zhang Han's sullenness in the past three years!
Sitting on a rock, Zhang Han took out the map from his arms and spread it on the stone surface, the map was very detailed, but the scope was not large. There are several other small towns around the town of Yuexi, but these towns are surrounded by huge rocks, and travel is greatly restricted.
Legend has it that this was a mountain long ago, and it was shattered by great force to form this layout. These towns were built out of this rock!
Looking at the map, there is only one city on it, Si Cheng!
From the map, you can see that Sicheng is far away from here, and it is usually a trade between several small towns, and if you want to go to Sicheng, you have to unite the families of several small towns, and you will only go to Sicheng once for a long time. Because the journey is not smooth, there is a forest on the road that must be passed, and the monsters are entrenched. Although I haven't heard of a ground-level demonic beast appearing in these years, there are still occasional spirit-level and Xuan-level demonic beasts.
As long as there is a Xuan-level demonic beast appearing, the trading team going to Sicheng will basically be the end of the entire army, because the Xuan-level demonic beast is equivalent to the cultivation of the Lingyuan Realm in humans, and there is no Lingyuan Realm in these towns. If you are lucky, you will only encounter mortal-level demonic beasts, and if you are a spirit-level demonic beast, there is a high probability that you will be able to drive away with concerted efforts.
There is a continuous mountain range through the forest, there are mountain bandits entrenched in the mountains, if it is easy to talk, the silver two can be dispatched, and if it is not good to speak, then you can only fight!
At that time, when Zhang Qingfeng told him these things, he had an expression of wanting to eat people, obviously the Zhang family had also lost a lot of people on this road! But now it's time to go it alone!
After determining the direction, Zhang Han began to run at great speed again, and when he was tired halfway, he took a break and continued to run, and when it was close to noon, Zhang Han stopped, and he had not yet left the rocky area.
Zhang Han, who was a little out of breath, found a shady place under a big stone and sat down.
"I'm tired, why is this area so big, I can't see the end of the mountain after running all morning."
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zhang Han took out a meatloaf from his baggage. After running wildly in the morning, I consumed a lot of physical strength, and I ate the meatloaf in three or two bites. I don't know what kind of animal meat is made of this meatloaf, but the taste of the meat is still very good.
Taking out another meatloaf, Zhang Han hesitated for a moment and stuffed it back into the baggage. There is still a long way to go, and you still have to save some food if you can save it.
After a little rest, Zhang Han got up and patted the soil on his body, confirmed the direction, and continued to hurry.
In the endless mountain and rock area, a figure jumped forward quickly on the boulder, and suddenly a sword-like figure shot from the crack in the stone towards Zhang Han who was running.
When Zhang Han realized it, this figure was already close at hand, and he didn't have time to draw his sword to block, Zhang Han directly twisted his body and fell on a boulder by inertia, so he avoided the figure.
Zhang Han didn't care about the painful part of the fall, quickly got up, drew his sword and looked at the figure.
It was a snake, only arm-long, thumb-wide, and the color of stone.
Stone snake!
Zhang Han breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Qingfeng had introduced many fierce beasts and mortal-level demonic beasts to him.
The stone snake can be regarded as a pyramid-like existence among the beasts that have not entered the rank, and generally lives in the mountain and rock area, acts alone, is extremely fast, and is poisonous. Moreover, the snake venom is extremely violent, ordinary people will die if they touch it, and it will also have an impact on the low level of the forging realm, which will make it have symptoms of nausea, headache, and weakness. But at this time, he is no threat!
With the force under his feet, Zhang Han was the first to attack, raising his sword and slashing horizontally. The stone snake was also extremely fast, leaning down the snake's head, avoiding the sword light, and then opening the snake's mouth and shooting directly at Zhang Hanmian's door.
Hum! A beast is a beast!
The corners of Zhang Han's mouth curled, the cold light of his left hand flashed, and he stabbed forward, and the stone snake in the air was unavoidable, and was pierced by a dagger from his open mouth, most of the snake's head and a small half of his body were directly cut off, and he convulsed for a while after landing and then didn't move.
Zhang Han shook the blood stains on the dagger, and when he moved in his hand, he didn't know where the dagger went.
