Chapter Eighty-Three: Underestimated
A young man outside Longyue City was walking quickly, and the young man didn't look too big.
But there was an icy aura all over his body, which made the people around him dare not approach.
This young man was none other than Zhao Long, and at this moment he left Longyue City alone.
Originally, he planned to cultivate well in Longyue City, until he cultivated to the Sword Emperor, and then went to the cultivation cave mansion in his previous life to get the treasure.
However, Xiaohu's sudden arrest and the other party's request for an exchange of imperial decrees completely disrupted Zhao Long's plan.
In desperation, he had to leave immediately. Whether it's looking for the legendary Imperial Order.
Still looking for Xiaohu's whereabouts, he can't stay in Longyue City all the time.
Xue Qikun and Ouyang Xiu originally wanted to follow Zhao Long to act together.
But both of them were seriously injured and had difficulty moving, and Zhao Long also refused their request to follow.
What's more, when Zhao Long was alone, it was much more convenient. Because Xiaohu was arrested, the anger in Zhao Long's heart had completely burned.
He now wants to find the other party immediately and rescue Xiaohu.
However, Zhao Long is not stupid, he knows the gap between himself and the other party, and with his current strength, he is not the opponent of the other party.
However, the way of cultivation lies in gradual progress, and if you want to quickly increase your combat strength, you can only start from the external conditions.
The external conditions are nothing more than pills, knives and knife skills. In this life, Zhao Long has only been exposed to a few kinds of pills.
And it's all for recovery or healing. The kind of elixir that can improve the strength of the swordsman, Zhao Long has not seen it yet?
In terms of knives, he already has the Tianfrost Knife, which is enough for him now.
If you want to increase your combat effectiveness in a short period of time, then you can only start with sword skills.
Although Zhao Long used to be the Sword God Emperor and also mastered a lot of sword skills, his current cultivation was too low, and those sword skills could not be cultivated.
With his current strength, there are no more sword skills that he can learn.
However, he did not give up, although he could not learn the sword skills he had mastered before.
But he can go and find the sword skills left by others. Yes, it's the knife skills left by others.
In the previous life, in addition to cultivating, Zhao Long also continued to experience on the mainland.
I also discovered the cultivation places of many predecessors, and there were also a lot of sword skills buried in them.
Some of them are better, and he learned them directly, such as the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Breath Gathering Technique.
But there are still some that are no longer of much use to him as a sword god.
He didn't go to study, he still left it there. However, these knife skills are of great use to the current Zhao Long.
The target of Zhao Long's operation this time was the deciduous forest near Qingcheng.
He remembered that in the deciduous forest, there was once a cave mansion of a strong sword sect, and an extremely good sword technique was buried in it.
This Qingcheng is just to the west of Longyue City, and the masked man who held Xiaohu hostage also left from this direction.
This is also the reason why Zhao Long chose this place, after a long journey, Zhao Long finally came to the Fallen Leaf Town, which is located next to the Fallen Leaf Forest.
Looking at the bustling crowd, Zhao Long raised his eyebrows and grabbed a young swordsman who was hurrying by.
"I'm sorry brother, but I want to ask, where is the tavern in this fallen leaf town?"
"Tavern? You can see it two hundred meters ahead in this direction. ”
The swordsman frowned slightly, "Little brother, you're from a foreign country, right?" ”
I advise you to leave as soon as possible. "This Fallen Leaf Town isn't peaceful."
As soon as he finished speaking, he left in a hurry, making Zhao Long confused.
However, after knowing the direction of the tavern, it would be easy to do, and Zhao Long immediately headed in the direction of the tavern.
In general, taverns are the most well-informed places.
He wanted to go here to ask if Xiaohu and the masked man had ever been here.
It's just that to Zhao Long's surprise, most of the swordsmen in this fallen leaf town came and went in a hurry, and they all frowned.
"Strange, what's wrong with this Fallen Leaf Town?"
Zhao Long was very puzzled, and soon, he saw a huge signboard from a distance, with the word "wine" written on it.
Before he entered the door, Zhao Long smelled a smell of wine.
To his surprise, the tavern was not as lively as he had imagined, and it was very deserted.
The few guests, the listless little two, this fully shows that something big has happened in Fallen Leaf Town.
Zhao Long walked directly into the door and found a clean place to sit down.
"Guest, what do you want?" Xiao Er saw Zhao Long enter the door and immediately greeted him.
"Give me a plate of cooked beef with a glass of water." After a deep groan, Zhao Long raised his head and replied.
Xiao Er was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Zhao Long to come to the tavern and not drink.
However, Zhao Long's appearance is too young, and it is normal not to drink, Then Xiao Er answered and entered the back hall to prepare.
Zhao Long also waited quietly, and after a while, Xiao Er brought a plate of cooked beef and a glass of water over.
"Guest officer, the food you ordered, do you need anything else?"
"No need. By the way, I would like to ask, the other day, did you see a gray masked man?
He was passing by with a teenager about my age? Zhao Long immediately inquired about Xiaohu's news.
"The masked man in gray?" Xiao Er fell into deep thought, "It doesn't seem to be." ”
In the past six months, we have not received such guests.
And now there are people everywhere in Fallen Leaf Town, only the people here go outside, how can there be outsiders coming to us?
"Guest officer, I see that you are also a foreigner, so leave quickly after eating."
didn't get any news from Xiaohu, and Zhao Long was not too disappointed.
And with the strength of the masked man, he can fly a long distance in a day, and he doesn't have to stop at all.
It's just that the second half of what Xiao Er said aroused Zhao Long's curiosity.
"What's wrong with you here? I saw that everyone was coming and going on the road, as if something big had happened. ”
"Alas, guest officer, you don't know, this is our annual monster riot in Deciduous Town.
Every year at this time, there are monsters in the deciduous forest next to it.
"It's like they've lost their minds, rushing out of the forest and attacking our town."
Speaking of this, Xiao Er sighed, "In a few days, it will be the day of the demon beast riot, and we will have to close the door." ”
"Monster riot?" Zhao Long opened his mouth in surprise, it was the first time he had heard such a statement.
Demon beasts are also wise, and the higher the rank of the demon beast, the higher the wisdom.
Legend has it that those top-level demon beasts are even more intelligent than humans.
Generally speaking, monsters will not attack human settlements for no reason.
Why is this happening in this deciduous forest? And he remembered that when he came before, it wasn't like this.
"Then I want to ask, when did this monster riot start? How long does it last? ”
Xiao Er sighed: "I don't know, anyway, I already had it when I was born." ”
And listen to some old people, it has been around for decades. "Each time it lasts about a month."
"Huh? In that case, why don't you just leave Fallen Leaf Town and go to another town? ”
Zhao Long was very puzzled, it had been going on for decades, how could anyone else continue to stay?
Speaking of this, Xiao Er smiled and said, "You don't know, guest officer. ”
Although this annual monster riot has brought us great trouble.
But after the monster beast riot, those first-order and second-order demon beasts in the deciduous forest will enter a state of suspended animation.
As long as we can find them, "we can easily kill them and earn a lot of money." ”
"I see." Zhao Long didn't expect that there would be such a story in it.
No wonder these people have endured decades of harassment and have not left.
Those first-order and second-order demon beasts can sell a lot of gold coins.
At this moment, suddenly several young men and women came in at the door of the tavern, and the sword yuan power on their bodies was very strong.
To Zhao Long's surprise, the strength of these young men and women was good, and the weakest one also had the Seven Heavenly Cultivation of the Swordsman.
One of the strongest has actually reached the Sword Master Dual Heaven.
Judging by their appearance, they are only seventeen or eighteen years old. If one appears, it wouldn't be surprising.
But there are several at once, and it is definitely not something that ordinary forces can cultivate.
Seeing the guests, Xiao Er smiled apologetically at Zhao Long, and then walked over to the young men and women.
Zhao Long didn't care, nodded slightly, and began to solve the food in front of him.
"What do you need?" Xiao Er showed that signature smile.
The man in the lead, the sword master Erzhongtian, shouted, "Bring us three plates of cooked beef, and two pots of good wine." ”
"What kind of wine to drink now, be careful to make a mistake later!" A young girl next to her glanced at the man who was the sword master of the two heavens.
At the same time, he smiled apologetically at Xiao Er, "I'm sorry, we don't want to drink, let's have a glass of water for each person." ”
Xiao Er was stunned, wondering why all the guests today drank water?
But the customer is God, and he will not disobey the customer's request.
Seeing Xiao Er leaving, the young men and women immediately began to talk.
"Little Stream, why do you want to restrict me from drinking, isn't this still in the deciduous forest?" The leading Daojun Duotian man smiled bitterly.
And the girl next to her frowned slightly: "Zhou Jianhua, do you want me to tell the master?"
Don't forget, we're here for something important. If something goes wrong, are you responsible? ”
"Okay, okay, stop arguing, hurry up and finish eating and go on the road." The boy opposite the girl smiled and mediated.
Everyone also stopped arguing, glanced at the deserted tavern, and found Zhao Long who was eating cooked beef.
"Hey, there's a kid there, I didn't expect him to dare to come to this Fallen Leaf Town alone at such a young age."
The knife master who was called Zhou Jianhua by the girl laughed loudly as if he had discovered something new.
But this kid is not even a knife man, and I'm afraid he won't be able to survive in this Fallen Leaf Town where a monster rebellion is about to take place.
Zhao Long listened to all the conversations of these people, saying that he was not even a knife man?
Zhao Long couldn't help but chuckle and didn't speak. But just as he was about to continue eating.
The girl whose name was Xiaoxi stood up and walked over to him.
