At present, it is the period of recuperation of demon beasts, it is the most frequent period of activities of practitioners and hunters, and in the gate of the defense line, the daily flow of people can reach tens of thousands, this data may not be anything compared to other prosperous towns, but you must know that this is at the border, and out of the border, it means leaving the territory of the dynasty.

This man was scattered into the mountains of 100,000, and then he fell like a drop of water into the sea, and some returned with a full load, while others disappeared.

Of course, the water droplets will also meet each other, no matter how vast the 100,000 mountains are, after all, the entrance line is so big.

A group of four, all males, some of them wore strong suits embroidered with dark red lines or animal skins, and wore hideous warrior helmets on their heads, without exception, they all carried a large black cloth bag pinned to their waists, a long knife behind them, and a handful in their hands.

Looking at the age, he looks like he is in his twenties, tall and burly, even if he looks the thinnest among them, he is stronger than Cao An.

"Friend, it's getting late, good land is hard to find, can our brother rest around here tonight?" The one who spoke out was the 'skinny' man who looked more in line with some of the aesthetics of the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it could be seen that he should be the decision-maker in the four-person team.

"This place doesn't belong to anyone, I just arrived earlier than you, a few of you can do it yourself." Cao An responded with a smile, tied the donkey, and put a bundle of hay cut earlier next to the donkey.

"You donkey is so good! Better than the best masters in our village. Looking at this strange donkey, the man did not hesitate to praise him.

They brought out their own dry food, which was a kind of meat that had been roasted and dried, and was purple-black in color.

"My name is Bayan, and these three are brothers from our village, Bato, Bachuang, and Balin." A few people leaned over and sat on the ground like Cao An, the 'skinny' Bayan opened his mouth to introduce, and the other three nodded and smiled innocently.

"My name is Cao An!"

"You're from the Central Plains, right? First time coming to our southern borders? I've seen a lot of people from your side, but few of them are like you, and their cultivation is at least above three scenes. ”

After Bayan finished speaking, he suddenly realized something, and hurriedly explained: "I'm not saying that your cultivation is low, just that this is not common in your place, you are not like us, you deal with demon beasts all year round, and you only talk about age when you go in and out of 100,000 mountains, regardless of your cultivation." ”

"I see what you mean, are you the natives of the southern border?"

"Yes, we are the second walled city, there are a total of one hundred and eight walled cities on the entire southern border, it is said that the veterans who built the walled city back then did not know how to choose a name, so they directly used the number to row up, until the one hundred and eighth walled city."

It is rare to meet locals, and the four brothers surnamed Ba are simple and simple, Cao An talked with them very happily, and by the way, he learned about the distribution of demon beast species on the periphery of the 100,000 mountains, but unfortunately, the information learned from Bayan's mouth is: In the entire periphery of the 100,000 mountains, there is almost no fixed division of ethnic groups.

"When we went into the mountains this time, we wanted to hunt a tiger and treat Ah Da."

It's the same purpose.

"Can I follow you? In the midst of these 100,000 mountains, it would be a very lucky thing for me to be able to be accompanied by people who are familiar with this place. ”

Bayan grinned, "What's the matter, but can you keep up?" ”

Following Bayan's gaze, Cao An saw that he was pointing at his donkey, forget about the old dog, there are also hunting dogs in their walled city, these dogs go up the mountain, and they are more powerful than ordinary warriors, but donkeys ......

"It should be able to keep up."

After a short chat, several people rested, Cao An sat cross-legged and meditated, the old dog lay at Cao An's feet, and the Ba brothers took out their big cloth bags, cushioned them on the ground, and fell asleep with their hands around their abdomen.

In the dead of night, the old dog raised his head and glanced at the donkey beside him with disgust.

'Even if you don't open your mind, you can't even grasp your instincts, and you have lumps of flesh in your body, but unfortunately it's useless. It muttered in its heart, learning from the same thing, and meditating with Cao An.

It was not the first time that the old dog had sat in Lotus, and Cao An himself knew that during this period of time, he could clearly perceive that the rich demonic aura on the old dog had melted away, and his fur had become brighter.

There was nothing to do all night, and the demon beasts on the periphery were devastated by the human race, and now it is difficult for even small beasts to see. Early in the morning, a few people packed up, replenished their physical strength, and headed directly towards the 100,000 Mountain.

"Barto, you remember the route, you take the lead."

"Okay, Brother Yan." As the words fell, Bartow stepped out and walked in front of the group.

The long knife in this hand can not only be used to defend against the enemy, but also the best tool to open the way, this long walk, not even the fur of the demon beast has been seen, but it can be the first mountain along the way of several people.

The road became more and more difficult to walk, and Cao An had no choice but to discard the heavy objects on the donkey's back and go on the road empty, in order not to drag down the trip. It doesn't matter who you're with, it's like that, 100,000 mountains are like this, there are almost no ready-made roads, and it's the same everywhere you go.

"Don't look at the fact that now we have crossed a mountain, and we haven't even encountered a single demon beast, but when the beast tide comes, you will see an almost endless stream of demon beasts on the entire defense line, listening to what the clan elder said in the village, it seems that there are more and more every year, and there are so many demon beasts, and I don't know where they are hidden."

Listening to Bayan's narration, Cao An casually said the conjecture in his heart, "Could it be that those high-level demons are deliberately protecting their own clan?" Let these ordinary monsters all converge and return to live in the inner area? ”

"The clan elders also have this speculation, but in fact, it is unlikely, you may not have lived in the army, a team of 100 people, living and training together, just eating and drinking, the resources consumed are very huge, not to mention hundreds of millions of demon beasts, and the possibility of all living inside is too low."

Cao An nodded, did not speak again, in the team, the strongest Bahrain was already sweating profusely, in the 100,000 mountains, the trees were towering, almost completely blocking the sun, people in it, if it was a little longer, they would feel a burst of cold and dampness, and Bahrain was sweating profusely now, it was completely tired.

Even Bayan began to breathe unsteadily, on the other hand, on Cao An's side, a second-level martial artist, at their speed, not only did not fall behind, but he could breathe steadily, his face was not red, and he still looked like he had spare strength, and even the donkey was not left behind.

Bayan couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "Friend, you are really powerful, and I don't know how to practice your small physique, you are much stronger than the average Erjing martial artist, no wonder you dare to enter the 100,000 mountains alone." ”

'Small physique? Cao An feels that he is also 180 tall, but he is just a little thinner, how can he get to the point that you are a small physique.

"I probably have better stamina."

Bahrain gasped for two breaths, "Oh, I see, just like our southern ponies, the sprint speed may not be as fast as the tall horses in the north, but in terms of toughness and endurance, it is far better than those tall horses." ”

With this metaphor, the old dog couldn't help but raise his head and widen his eyes.

Cao An smiled, "It can also be compared like this." ”

"But we are from the south, and you are from the north." Ba Chuang said something inopportunely, and everyone was silent for a moment, but Bayan opened his mouth to relieve the embarrassment.

"Let's rest first, Bato can't stand it, wait for Ba Chuang to change Bato, there are still two mountains from the destination, and the rest of the road should encounter demon beasts, everyone keep their physical strength."

The Bab brothers hummed in unison.

Cao An bent a vine, sat on it, and the donkey also lay down with human nature, such a mountain road was not very friendly to it, and fortunately Cao An was a little prescient, and then gave it a new pair of palm nails in the southern village, otherwise, this road would be more difficult to walk.

At this moment, the old dog pricked up his ears suddenly, his smart eyes were full of alertness, his nose sniffed in the air, and he roared at Cao An.

Cao An, who was sitting just now, had already held the iron sword in his hand at some point, standing in place, his body tense.

"Danger approaching!"
