Chapter Forty-Six: Traveling to the Mountains

Xia Qingzhang and Du Xingzhou chatted very happily. The grandeur of this banquet in Fort Montenegro was far beyond their expectations. Originally, there were more than 2,000 people in Black Mountain Fort, including several teams of combat strength and laborers, and even family members. Now we have to add the thousands of people from the construction team invited from Yong'an. In contrast, it is the adventure team and so on, which can only be regarded as a very small one, although the hospitality materials must be the best, and the people in the fortress are the most attentive to them, and there are all kinds of good things to bring first, but in fact, the amount of ingredients and wine is only so small after all. The banquet was in full swing, looking down from the halfway up the mountain, it seemed that the whole town was carnival, and it was staggered and lively, and it had been scattered for dozens of miles, even the patrols and sentries on the periphery of the Black Mountain Fort could feel the prosperous and warm atmosphere with wine and meat.

This banquet ignited everyone's enthusiasm for building a fortress and a town at the foot of the mountain, and from this day on, everyone's mood changed, and they really deserved to go all out.

"It's really a good means, a good mind, and a lot of money. The next day, Xia Qingzhang, Du Xingzhou and others could feel the change in the atmosphere up and down, and naturally knew that this round of banquets played a key role. And Xia Qingzhang can only sigh like this.

Although Fort Black Mountain is Cheng Bang talking about things, in fact, everyone understands that Cheng Bang is just a key person standing at the forefront, behind him, there is not only the young woman who is a little mysterious, a doctor who has cultivated quite well, but also a whole team of very capable people around him to help Cheng Bang make key decisions. It is rare for them to be able to work together and perform their duties, and more importantly, they have a great plan and do not care about temporary gains and losses. It's like this one. That's not something that ordinary people dare to do. Not to mention anything else, just the Nanshao wild boar consumed by these thousands of people, don't transport it far, just transport it to Xiangzhou, which is less than two hundred miles away from Yong'an, and there is no problem at all in selling it for more than 50,000 taels of silver. And Qingling fruit wine. Probably no force in the Chu State can come up with the amount they consumed yesterday, and the price is not estimated, but in order to show their strength and gather morale, they will use it when they say they will use it. Although the top and bottom of Montenegro Fort can still be regarded as the forces that Cheng Bang and the few people under him have just beaten down, even if Jin Ge is the backbone. The control is not strict, and many rules have not yet been fully established. However, now the Black Mountain Fort has fully understood how atmospheric and promising these people are, and they will definitely be able to take everyone to a new path. The morale of the people up and down the Black Mountain Fort is so high that it is simply jaw-dropping. The whole fortress is on the large construction site. There are almost no idlers.

The original combat power of Fort Black Mountain was concentrated into four teams, and now it is being trained in Jiang Mei's hands, keeping a team of people on patrol and alert, a team of people helping on various construction sites, and two teams of people in a rotation of strict training. These people who came to Fort Black Mountain this time were all experts, and at a glance, they knew that those who were training were using the cultivation methods of the army. It's still quite a high-end method. It's easy to get started, and once you have laid the foundation, it's easy for those who are good at it to move on to other higher-level methods in the future. That Jiang Mei seems to have a very thorough understanding of all aspects of this kind of cultivation method in the army. They looked at the original thieves who had just changed into black and gray uniforms and asked all kinds of completely unreliable questions, among which there might be some very high-quality and difficult questions, and Jiang Mei solved them easily, and the answers were simple and simple, some answers, even their strong players in the exciting period had a feeling of sudden enlightenment. This kind of ability, at least in all the armies near Yong'an. No one can do that. These four teams of soldiers in Fort Black Mountain, in the hands of such people, I am afraid that in less than two months, they will become a strong army that people look up to.

The training of the soldiers may be said to be the work that Cheng Bang and others must vigorously carry out in order to pinch the Black Mountain Fort. But on Fort Montenegro. Even those relatives and family members are bursting with extremely strong enthusiasm for work. Originally, the reconstruction on the Black Mountain Fort was carried out in sections, and after the reconstruction was completed, one piece was demolished and then one piece was built, so as to ensure that most people would not sleep in the open, but it was just a loss of two months of time for moving back and forth to adjust the time. Unexpectedly, in the few days when Chengbang went to Yong'an, those people on the mountain bulldozed all the platforms where they used to live. Except for women, the elderly, and children, who were concentrated in a house that was not extensively remodeled, the rest of the people set up tents. This made Chengbang very angry after coming back, feeling that the wind in the mountains is strong, the climate is uncertain, and everyone will be easy to get sick, and the gains outweigh the losses. But this is indeed the decision of the people of Fort Montenegro. They wanted to see the new buildings sooner, to see a majestic castle born in their own hands as soon as possible. The entire stone staircase road leading from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the construction began on the second day after the Black Mountain Fort repelled the Wind Traveling Chamber of Commerce, and now it is seventy percent complete, and the fortress wall in the core part of the mountain has been basically completed, and the scaffolding is being dismantled. The fort of the second circle is about to begin......

If the Black Mountain Village had such morale and action in the past, Qin Feng would not dare to attack if he was given 10,000 guts. But now, the whole castle of Montenegro has followed this big leader who is less than twenty years old, and he has done it happily.

Being around the Black Mountain Fort, even these people of the adventure team who should be observing with a calm heart and a prudent eye were easily swept up in this eagerness, and wanted to hurry out and go to the mountains and forests for a while.

The group stayed in Fort Black Mountain for two days before coming out again. They went out early in the morning, and the journey was very smooth, and by the evening they were already in the Ten Directions Mountain Boundary. The place where they set up camp on their first day was on the edge of a small lake. This place is called the Feasting Beast Pool.

Speaking of this name, there are blood and tears in it. Demon beasts do not get rid of the nature of beasts, and basically they also revolve around water sources, forming their own spheres of influence and mixed ecology, and they also have mutual restraint with each other. Almost every night, there will be various demon beasts coming over to drink water or hunt other demon beasts on the edge of the beast banquet pool. In the past, there were several adventuring teams who were not familiar with the Ten Directions Mountains, or did not understand the ecological habits of demon beasts, or they thought very highly of themselves, and felt that they had the ability to deal with all possible situations, and camped by the lake, and as a result, they all became the belly of demon beasts. However, whether it is the Du family, the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce or the representatives of the guild, they will not think that Chengbang and his party would make such a mistake. Their road all the way into the mountains was well kept. The vigilance along the way and the arrangement of several rest points are enough to see that most of the people that Chengbang brought this time are experts who are walking in the mountains of the ten directions. camping by the banquet beast pond made everyone more interested in knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Chengbang's gourd.

After settling down, the representatives of the families gathered together in front of the tent of Chengbang. Eating fresh barbecue around the campfire, while discussing the future arrangement.

Du Xingzhou asked with great interest: "Lord Chengbao, will there be demon beasts in the banquet pool at night?"

"There must be demon beasts, aren't you afraid that they are here to drink our blood?" replied Cheng Bang with a grin.

"The castle lord laughed, since you chose to camp here, you are naturally sure. Did you drive away the nearby demon beasts?" Du Xingzhou asked lightly.

"Not really. Now it is beyond the reach of the whip for the time being, and besides, there are few people entering the mountain, so it is not worth it. After that, we are going to set up a forward camp here in the Feast Pool. A relatively small fortress. The reason why it is a fortress is mainly to reduce the trouble of demon beast attacks. Around here, we've cleaned up quite carefully. Those who are ferocious have all been killed. "Cheng Bang didn't explain too much, this place is not very far from the old nest of the golden thread bird, and the team of people who stayed in the mountain have cleaned up this place I don't know how many times. You can basically use the beast pond as a pool in your own backyard. Since it's your own backyard, those interesting and cute creatures naturally have to be kept, and it's not a big problem to have more, but those bad guys who can stir up the wind and rain are naturally cleaned up. "In the evening, most of the people who come to drink water by the banquet pool are very docile demon beasts. We still have some for everyone to enjoy, for example, there should be a small group of resting bare skull, and there are a few black spotted deer. It should be one, and there must be something else. Even some of you who are used to staying around here are not afraid of people, so you can get closer, but don't get too close. After all, the vigilance is not all gone. The last time our people camped here, there were already bloody cats coming to the camp to steal food...... These guys are bold, have a strong ability to steal, and if they are caught, they will be cute and tricky, but they are actually good playmates. ”

"Advance to the camp?" Xia Qingzhang was startled when he heard this: "Continue to go deep into the mountains from here, how deep are you going to go into the mountains?"

"The preliminary is one hundred and fifty miles, which is a relatively safe estimate. Some of the places we have penetrated are not afraid to take you there. These 150 miles are what we are relatively sure of, with a simple topographic map, a preliminary arrangement of water sources and shelters. Actually, it's more suitable for inexperienced adventure teams to practice, and after that, we have our plan, but what each family wants and how much they are willing to pay, after all, is everyone's own business. Zhao Baoqing said nonchalantly. This expedition hunting, the plan was done by Zhao Baoqing, and no one is more familiar with the surrounding situation than him.

"So, how many miles are we going to go into the mountains this time, and what are our goals?" asked Du Xingzhou.

"Everybody understands why we're taking people into the mountains. It's just to see if the work we have in hand is good and how much appetite we have. Our goal is threefold: we are already forty miles into the mountains. Tomorrow, go out early in the morning, camp in the evening, and hunt the green jade python and middle-level demon beast for one hundred and ninety miles the morning after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, the golden-toothed wolf pack of two hundred and twenty miles is on average mid-level and intermediate, and the wolf king is high-level and primary. Two days later, the Danya Vulture at a distance of two hundred and seventy miles was a high-level junior level. For two more days, the river white hippopotamus was turned over, the high-level intermediate, and the water 6 amphibious. There is also a small jasper mine along the way, and a Qingling orchard that we arranged to plant can be visited. If you are interested in the crystal mine, you can mine a little, and if you are not interested, you will talk about it later. This is just a preliminary plan, we have cleared and reconnoitred along the way, and it should not be possible to encounter particularly powerful demon beasts, but it is inevitable that there will be no sudden battles. Zhao Baoqing looked at Cheng Bang, and after seeing him nod, he confidently made his arrangements and put them out.

This made everyone gasp. Do they actually want to go nearly 300 miles deeper? There are only three adventuring teams from Yong'an's side that can penetrate into this place, and they have to pay a great price every time. No matter how high the cultivation is, it is useless for the person to lead the team, there are all kinds of sudden situations in this forest, and if you are not careful, there will be people who are not cultivated enough or who have relaxed their vigilance and lost their lives. But this Zhao Baoqing arranged so tightly all the way, and he didn't feel like he took the battles to heart at all. Even if it is a mid-level green jade python, it is not easy to match, this guy is poisonous. The battle was full of poisonous fog. That guy is a high-level intermediate-level, but so far there hasn't been a single case of successful hunting. They're actually on the agenda? Forget it, they feel that they are strong, and they have a targeted arrangement, and there is no big problem. Kedan Cliff Vulture, how to deal with this flying demon beast? The high-level flying demon beast is definitely the bitter hand of all those who venture into the mountains. It's good not to be hunted. It seems that this time Fort Montenegro declared its strength, and it was about to break through the psychological limit.

"This time, with almost half of the most core and skilled old brothers, they are all soaking in the mountains in large chunks. That's why I have such a grasp to show you something fresh. If you want to rely on the strength of the people, the overall situation will be cleared up in the mountains. It's just some ordinary goods, and we can't continue to operate in that place. In the future, I am afraid that there will not be too many opportunities for such a strict team of ours to attack. If we just give direction and strategy, or let us send a guide, we wouldn't dare to play something so difficult. This time. Please strictly follow our previous arrangement, and if you make random moves and disrupt the front, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep our hands. Cheng Bang is still smiling, but everyone understands the meaning of his words.

No one would want to vandalize. Even if it was the popular Chamber of Commerce that had some disagreements with Black Mountain Fort before, Xia Qingzhang was asked to come here to make a good fate. And. Being able to witness the hunting of high-level demon beasts with your own eyes has so much to learn, which will be of great help to the output of the Ten Directions Mountains in the future. Just being able to go deep into the nearly 300 miles, just looking at their arrangements and preparations along the way, as well as their strategies for dealing with various situations, are very valuable.

"Since we're here, of course we're here to help. Don't see the castle master, please assign us if you can use our place, we will definitely do our best. Du Xingzhou hurriedly said: "Otherwise, just follow you around." We can't explain it when we go back. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Cheng Bang said with a smile: "Of course, it is useful for everyone, and this time, everyone has to at least make a small amount of money, so that it is worth the trip." ”

Cheng Bang did not feel reluctant to attack this time. Zhao Baoqing's plan is indeed a little more radical. But under the trade-off, except for the white hippopotamus that turns over the river, the rest of the demon beasts have rich hunting experience. The leather, demon core, and poison sac of the green jade python were used by themselves, so they didn't sell them out, otherwise they would have caused an uproar. In Cheng Bang's opinion, it is not difficult to set up tactics to besiege and kill high-level demon beasts. High-level demon beasts tend to live around the place, and there are few other threatening demon beasts, as long as they can get to the place, they don't even have to do the work of clearing the field. On the contrary, the journey from one location to the other will be more troublesome. Most of the adventure teams had accidents on the way, some of them had route design problems, some encountered monsters scurrying around, and some of them fell into a Jedi unknowingly...... And these, for their party, who have traveled tens of thousands of miles in the mountains of the ten directions and have been dealing with various situations almost every day, dealing with daily situations has almost become as accustomed to eating and drinking as it is. At a depth of about 300 miles, there is really no pressure.

It was easy for these skilled sergeants and guards under Cheng Bang's command, and the various arrangements that were as light as a weight attracted a burst of amazement from the accompanying observation team. Although the routes they chose were a little tortuous, they were all very particular, and they basically passed through the edge of the sphere of influence of some relatively powerful demon beasts. Such a distance is something that the monster will be vigilant but will tolerate, and the monster is not brainless, not wanting to attack all the time, and will be afraid of encountering a strong enemy and destroying himself. As long as they don't enter the core area of their activities, most monsters will observe and tolerate until they judge whether they are likely to be able to defeat them. The judgment of this distance is a matter of great skill and the experience and vision of the person who leads the school. But their group went deep to a depth of two hundred miles before they encountered an attack by a group of blue-eared macaques. A group of less than 200 blue-eared macaques, under Chengbang's extremely flexible tactics, were wiped out in less than half an hour. Moreover, all the good players in the exciting period, except for Jin Ge and Zheluo, who were training and teamwork, none of them made a move.

This kind of expression is more effective than the empty vernacular of Cheng Bang or Zhao Baoqing. No one thought that the journey in the mountains of the ten directions, which was originally thought to be extremely arduous, would become similar to that of touring the mountains and rivers. They came to the realm where a green jade python was located so calmly. This place, there are still people who have been here before, and in the atlas of the ten directions mountains that are not very detailed in the Chu State, this place is named: Xi Fengze.

Xifengze is located at the junction of several mountains, and the spring water in the mountains is abundant, and it is here that it gathers to form a wetland. The wind was completely blocked by the mountain peaks, and the whole Xifengze was undisturbed, and it seemed that all the air was stuck in place, hence the name Xifengze. The surrounding peaks block most of the sunlight, and there are not too tall trees to grow here, but the trees in the surrounding mountains have broken off and deposited and fermented here, nourishing various creatures unique to the wetlands. However, the reason why it can attract green jade pythons here is because at the bottom of the wetland, there should be a jade vein.
