Qingmang Mountain, three hundred miles southwest of Jingyun City. {3.

On the mountain path, a team of thirty or forty people was trekking.

This rugged road has been trodden over many years by natives, foot traders, treasure hunters and hunters.

Although it has been a long time since no one has set foot in the grass to re-cover it, the cold of winter has greatly inhibited the growth of vegetation, so it is still possible to distinguish the winding path ahead.

Very few people will walk through the depths of Qingmang Mountain at this time, and the harsh winter makes many wild beasts and demon beasts hibernate, and those who come out to hunt are often hungry beasts, as well as barbarian witch bandits among the aborigines.

But this team is not afraid of the dangers in the mountains and forests, so it naturally has confidence.

The person in charge of leading the team is Dugu Shen, the master of Jingyun Martial Academy, a powerhouse of the Innate Triple Heaven Realm.

And the members of the team include ten disciples of the upper court, five martial artists and fifteen warriors, and the worst strength is also above the sixth heaven of body refining, not to mention ordinary barbarian witches and beasts, even if they are middle-level demon beasts, they have to retreat.

Wei Changfeng is one of the team members.

Two days ago, he took over the task of the upper disciple of the Qingyun Hall of the Martial Academy, joined this escort team, and stayed day and night for two days, not far from Bailu Miao Village.

"Half an hour's rest"

Dugu Shen, who was walking at the front of the team, stopped, he looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Be on guard!"

The warriors and samurai who were closely following the elder immediately dispersed, sneaked into the nearby mountains and forests, and soon disappeared without a trace.

They act as scouts for the team, scouting the surrounding area, and if they're lucky, maybe bringing back a fat prey or two.

Such caution and caution are necessary, because this area is a territory for barbarian witch activity.

The Miao people, barbarians and Wu people are all indigenous people who have lived in the southwest of Qingmang Mountain for thousands of years.

The area west of Jingyun City is vast, with mountains, forests, rivers and grasslands, and in addition to animals and beasts, there are countless indigenous tribes.

Four hundred years ago, the Great Qin Dynasty tried to expand its territory to the southwest, and when Jingyun City was first established, it was used as a garrison and outpost for the army.

It was only for many reasons that Great Qin's plot was thwarted by Yan Zhan, and no army ever stepped into Qingmang Mountain, maintaining the peace of the southwest frontier for hundreds of years.

However, the natives' vigilance against the Great Qin has never really weakened, and among the Miao, Barbarian, and Wu tribes, the Miao are the most friendly to the Qin people, and trade with each other, and the other two tribes often cross the mountains and mountains to plunder the area around Jingyun.

As for the caravans that walk between the mountains and forests, there are also hunters and treasure hunters, who are also the objects of their hunting!

This is the fundamental reason why Jingyun Martial Academy sent this team to Miao Village to escort away the elixir spiritual materials.

Both barbarians and witches have powerful masters, they are fierce and aggressive, believe in the brutal rules of the jungle, and are often not afraid of death in battle, so they are difficult to deal with.

The disciples sat down on the side of the road and took out the dry food and water they had brought with them.

The number of disciples in the upper courtyard of Jingyun Martial Academy is less than a hundred, but it is also divided into many circles, and there are several small circles in this team, and they are familiar with each other and sit together, talking and laughing while eating, drinking, and talking.

And Wei Changfeng does not belong to any circle, since joining this team, he has been isolated.

For such a situation, Wei Changfeng also expected it.

As a newcomer who had just been promoted to the upper court, he was very unfamiliar with the other nine disciples, and their attitude towards Wei Changfeng was either indifferent or contemptuous, and he didn't bother to approach him at all.

In such a situation, how could Wei Changfeng use his hot face to stick to someone else's cold ass!

"Senior Brother Wei, do you want to have some wine to warm up?"

A samurai sat down beside him and politely handed over the gourd in his hand.

This warrior was the only person Wei Changfeng knew, and it was Fang Chi, who had come to Qingyuan Xiaozhu that day to convey Qingyuntang's order, and he had also joined this mission.

Wei Changfeng did not refuse his friendliness, took the flask and took a sip.

In the lower abdomen of the spirits, the power of the wine quickly dissipated in the body, and the blood boiled up, and the warmth was very comfortable.

The climate here is a little warmer than Jingyun City, at least there is no thick snow, but the mountains and forests are wet and cold to the bone, and if there is no thick leather jacket to keep out the cold, it is difficult for the martial artists of the Body Refining Realm to bear it.

Wei Changfeng's cultivation is the Qianyang Righteous Law of the Extreme Strength and Yang, although he has only cultivated to the first level, he is basically not afraid of the cold, and he is much stronger than the martial artists of the same level.

But after half a day of mountain walking, sitting down to rest and drinking two sips of spirits at the same time is undoubtedly a good way to dispel the cold and fatigue.

"It's half a day's journey to Bailu Miao Village"

Fang Chi lowered his voice and said, "But we will probably be assigned to another village to receive the goods. ”

"Other stockades?"

Wei Changfeng was stunned, and while handing the wine gourd back to the other party, he asked, "Let's not go to Bailu Miao Village?"

Fang Chi glanced quickly to the left and right, and then nodded quickly.

He took the gourd and silently moved to the other side.

The people in the team were all rejecting Wei Changfeng, and Fang Chi was not going to be too close to Wei Changfeng, otherwise any martial artist or upper court disciple would find trouble with him, and it would not be something he could easily resolve.

Wei Changfeng understood his difficulty, so he didn't ask any more.

At this time, the warriors and samurai who had gone out to scout before all returned, and one of the warriors was very lucky to bring back a horned deer!

"Haha, there's meat to eat!"

"Go find some dry wood and cut the deer!"

"I'll live!"

The disciples who were originally gnawing on dry food couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted one after another.

The horned deer weighed two or three hundred pounds, but it was easy for the samurai to handle, cutting the fattest parts with the blade, skilfully skinning and removing the dirt, and quickly erecting it on a makeshift campfire.

It's just that in this way, half an hour's rest is not enough.

Dugu Shen, who led the team, didn't mind, he gathered all the disciples of the upper courtyard together.

"We are not far from Gulu Miao Village, and we will definitely be able to arrive before dark."

The elder said, "But there are still a lot of Miao villages nearby, so time is pressing, and it is impossible for us to come to the door one by one, so according to the previous method, we have to send people to each Miao village to receive the goods." ”

His gaze swept over the faces of the disciples, and he said in a deep voice: "These goods are very important to both the Dan Academy and the Martial Academy, so the people who are assigned must complete the task, otherwise don't blame the rules of the Martial Academy for being ruthless!"

Dugu Shen's gaze finally fell on Wei Changfeng's face, and he paused for a moment before withdrawing it.

His gaze was extremely deep, with a sense of innumerable and incomprehensible.

Wei Changfeng's heart couldn't help jumping.

One of the disciples of the Upper Courtyard said, "Master Dugu, what do you say we will do, and we will ensure that the task is completed!"

"That's good!"

Dugu Shen nodded with satisfaction, he casually pointed to the two disciples, and said, "You, and you go to Bailu Miao Village with me, and the other disciples each take a warrior to other villages." ”

"I'll arrange the specific personnel, the samurai all know the way, and the goods used for trading are also carried by them. ”

"After completing the transaction, we will gather in Bailu Miao Village the day after tomorrow, and we will return to Jingyun together!"

The elder master's voice became stern: "You must firmly remember that the rules of Miao Village are different from ours, and you must not do anything that damages the reputation of our Martial Academy, otherwise I will not be the first to spare you!"

All the disciples were awe-inspiring in their hearts, and they nodded in unison!

Because of the hunting of the horned deer, the team came out for half an hour longer than before, but after eating and drinking, whether it was a disciple of the upper courtyard or a martial artist, the morale was much higher.

After walking for less than half a moment, there were three forks in the mountain road ahead.

"Let's go our separate ways, remember to stay safe!"

Dugu Shen waved his hand and said: "Although this is the area of Bailu Miao Village, there are also a lot of barbarian witches, in case of danger, don't be reckless, just flee back to save your life!"

The personnel had already been assigned, and each of the eight Upper Courtyard disciples accompanied by a samurai went to eight different Miao villages to trade.

And the person assigned to Wei Changfeng was none other than Fang Chi.

Wei Changfeng and Fang Chi took the fork on the right, and there were three other groups of people with them, but there were more and more forks along the way, and it didn't take long for only the two of them to stay.

The mountains and forests are very quiet, you can't hear the cries of birds and beasts, and the roads on the ground are basically invisible, so it's easy to get lost if you don't have a guide to guide you.

In the depths of the dense forest, I don't know what kind of danger lurks!

Fang Chi led the way in front with a burden on his back.

He was probably worried that Wei Changfeng would have any scruples about the surrounding environment, and said with relief: "This road leads to Shuiyun Miao Village, I have walked three times, and I have not encountered any beasts or barbarians, so it is very safe." ”

Wei Changfeng smiled and did not speak.

It is not the first time he has entered the mountains, and he has encountered all kinds of dangers, so he naturally has no shortage of courage.

But somehow, since leaving the team, Wei Changfeng felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.

It seems that something is about to be born!

The two of them walked all the way quickly, and walked for more than an hour before they passed through the dense forest.

A majestic mountain appeared in front of the two of them!

Fang Chi took Wei Changfeng along the mountain road towards the mountain and said, "In the valley in front of Shuiyun Miao Village, we will definitely be able to arrive before dark!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Before he finished his words, more than a dozen sharp arrows suddenly shot out from the woods on the right side of the mountain road!

The first arrow was squarely on the left shoulder, and he couldn't help screaming, and immediately lost his balance and rolled down the mountain road!

Enemy attack!

Wei Changfeng was taken aback!
