Chapter 163: The Iron Wolf Gang (17 more)
I saw that although there were sparse trees here, standing on the big rock of Jiang Baiyu and looking into the distance condescendingly, you would find that this was already the edge of the desert! And if Jiang Baiyu remembered correctly, the edge of the desert was the boundary between the barbarian country and the Dongling Empire.
"I almost flew to another country!" Jiang Baiyu was speechless for a while, the relationship between the barbarian country and the Dongling Empire has always been not very friendly, and if you rashly enter the barbarian country, there will be a lot of trouble.
Looking around blankly, Jiang Baiyu couldn't find the direction anymore, so he had to take out the map to check, but at a glance, Jiang Baiyu's brows wrinkled into a pimple!
According to his plan, he marched from the west, entered the Demon Beast Forest, and then found the Demon Emperor City, which would make the straight-line distance much closer and save time, but at this time, he had already deviated from the trajectory and deviated to the southwest direction, and came to the junction of the two countries.
Although according to the map, as long as you walk along the junction line, you can quickly find the junction of the three countries, and from there you can enter the Demon Beast Forest, but the distance is a little far, for Jiang Baiyu, who is relatively short of time, the gains outweigh the losses, it is better to sacrifice it, fly back again, and re-enter the correct trajectory.
Just as Jiang Baiyu was thinking like this, suddenly, a surprised and rough voice came: "Hey, little brother, are you here alone?"
Jiang Baiyu looked down and saw that on the border line, a convoy of merchants was driving slowly, and the businessmen hired a team of Xuanshi as bodyguards, and the leader of the Xuanshi, a forty-year-old bearded man, shouted at Jiang Baiyu from afar.
Although he didn't look closely, Jiang Baiyu could detect it. This line of mystics is on guard. Again, it's a wilderness here. Usually birds don't poop, and hares can't see one. A young man in white suddenly appeared, who is not vigilant?
Jiang Baiyu understood their vigilance very well, and smiled faintly: "The accident has nothing to do with you." ”
After speaking, Jiang Baiyu turned around and left, glared at his feet, tiptoed, and easily jumped down from the ten-meter-high boulder. Then with their backs to them, they prepared to return to their original trajectory.
At this point, these bodyguards Xuan Shi breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that it was unlikely to be someone like a robber, but the team leader's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but admire: "What a handsome skill, little brother, you are also a Xuan Shi, right?" When jumping down, Jiang Baiyu inadvertently used a trace of Xuan Qi. I couldn't hide it from the team leader.
Jiang Baiyu paused, turned around and nodded slightly: "Well, do you have any advice?" Jiang Baiyu was also vigilant against these people. Although the highest cultivation among them is only the fourth layer of Juhai, and Jiang Baiyu can destroy it in the palm of his hand, he still has to be vigilant. When you are out of the house, you have to be guarded.
The team leader smiled enthusiastically: "Little brother, my name is Tiejiu." Nicknamed Ironbeard!" Ironbeard gestured to his stiff beard and figuratively said.
Jiang Baiyu nodded. His face was expressionless and said: "Don't be expensive, your surname is Jiang, just call me Jiang Baiyu, do you have any advice from Senior Tie?" His attitude was extremely cold.
Ironbeard not only did not disagree, but secretly admired, although this son is young, but he is quite sophisticated, from beginning to end, he did not reveal his origin, let alone let down his guard, he was just about to open his mouth to speak, suddenly, the curtain in a carriage was lifted, revealing a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl from inside.
The girl's appearance can be regarded as handsome, her facial features are more attractive, and she is considered a beautiful girl, but she looks more delicate, and glared at Jiang Baiyu in disgust: "Hmph, how can you talk to my father? My father is the leader of the famous Iron Wolf Gang in Demon Hunting City, you actually talk to him in such a tone?"
Demon Hunting City?Jiang Baiyu raised his eyebrows, and tried to recall it for a while before remembering, it seems that this Demon Hunting City is a special place at the junction of the three empires, right?
The reason why this is so is because the founder of Demon Hunting City is a human emperor level powerhouse who has cultivated in his early years, the Thunder Emperor! His cultivation has reached the fifth layer of the terrifying human emperor, and he belongs to the middle-level human emperor, and there are almost no opponents in the first heaven, that is, on this continent.
Therefore, the three empires all acquiesced to the existence of Demon Hunting City, and even if they couldn't win over this terrifying Thunder Emperor, they still had a resolute attitude of not offending.
Therefore, Demon Hunting City will become a peculiar existence, because it is the intersection of the three countries, creating the title of the home of demon hunters on the Demon Hunting City Continent.
All the powerful demon hunters on the continent gathered in the demon hunting city, exchanged experiences with each other, and teamed up to enter the demon beast forest to kill high-level demon beasts, and at the same time, the large number of demon beasts hunted by the demon hunters here also prompted the trade of demon beast materials, attracting countless merchants from all over the continent to come and go here, selling demon beast materials, making the demon hunting city extremely prosperous, no less than the imperial city of the Dongling Empire.
There are still a lot of masters in the Demon Hunting City, at least there are not a few strong people in the fetal breath, this Iron Beard is only a fourth-layer cultivator in the sea, the Iron Wolf Gang he formed is obviously just a small gang with no name, it is too far away from the top name, this daughter of Iron Beard seems to be spoiled too much, a little coquettish.
However, Jiang Baiyu didn't bother to bother with her, let out a faint sigh, looked at Tie Hu again, and hugged his fists: "If Senior Tie doesn't advise, then I'll go first." ”
After speaking, Jiang Baiyu turned around and left.
Ironbeard glared at his daughter fiercely: "Shut up! How do you talk to people?" When her daughter pouted and retracted back into the carriage, Ironbeard hurriedly arched her hand and said: "I'm sorry little brother, the little girl is not sensible, don't blame, dare to ask the little brother if he went to the Demon Beast Forest?" If so, it is better to go the same way together and take care of each other. ”
Jiang Baiyu refused without thinking about it: "I'm sorry, although I'm also going to the Demon Beast Forest, but I'm in a hurry, I want to go due west, it will be faster, we can't go the same way, I'm sorry." With that, Jiang Baiyu walked away.
At this time, Ironbeard's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Eh, little brother, wait! It turns out that you are also in a hurry, that is great! We have been thinking about taking a shortcut to the Demon Hunting City, the annual battle for the Hundred Grass Garden in the Demon Hunting City is about to begin, according to the old road, I am afraid that the time is very rushed, so we are ready to take a shortcut, comparatively speaking, it only takes two days to take a shortcut, but from the west to enter the Demon Beast Forest, it will take at least five days! Little brother, with you joining, it will undoubtedly be safer for us to take a shortcut, how about it? Would you like to join? ”
Jiang Baiyu's footsteps were sluggish, if he could save three days, of course he would not go far, which made his heart moved, as for what kind of herb garden, Jiang Baiyu didn't understand, let alone interested.
"Take a shortcut, which shortcut will you take, what is the danger? Will someone walk by, and can the safety be guaranteed?" Jiang Baiyu asked in a series of ways.
Hearing this, Iron Beard breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said: "Little Brother Jiang, rest assured, this shortcut is an open secret among many demon hunters, many people have walked it, the danger is not great, the only danger is ...... Because this road has to pass through the territory of the barbarian country, if you encounter people from the barbarian country, it may be a little dangerous, after all, the people of our two countries do not get along well, but from past experience, there are very few people from the barbarian country on this road, as long as we are not extremely unlucky, it is unlikely to encounter people from the barbarian country. ”
Jiang Baiyu's eyes flashed, he thought for a moment, and after weighing one or two, he nodded slightly: "Okay, then I will walk with you, but the ugly words are ahead, and I have encountered general dangers, as a part of you, it is naturally no problem to help you, but if you encounter invincible danger, don't blame me for leaving you and running away." ”
To work with people on the outside is to make the stakes clear, and it is foolish to fight with them against the irresistible danger.
Iron Beard secretly admired, and was completely impressed by Jiang Baiyu, ordinary young people, after joining them, would often be hot-headed to kill the enemy with them, but the young man in front of him was an outlier, extremely calm and sleek, Iron Beard had an illusion, and he seemed to be facing not a teenager, but a monster more sophisticated than him.
Shaking his head and putting aside his unrealistic thoughts, Iron Beard led Jiang Baiyu into the team quite enthusiastically, and when the team stopped to rest at noon, he solemnly introduced the members.
"This is my daughter, Tie Xiaofu, spoiled and ignorant, don't be weird. Iron Beard pointed to Tie Xiaofu, who was not far away, with a pretty figure, at this moment, she changed the coquettishness on her face, and was talking to a young man shyly and timidly, with low eyebrows and eyes, extremely shy, and it was not difficult to hide the girl's admiration in her eyes.
Hearing this, Tie Xiaofu raised his head, raised his chin slightly, glared at Jiang Baiyu defiantly, and snorted lightly in his nostrils: "Hmph! Follow us honestly, be careful of being eaten by demon beasts! Really, it's clear that we can't protect ourselves enough, and my father still has a burden! You're right, Brother Liu Tao?" Tie Xiaofu shyly said softly at the man in front of her.
Liu Tao enjoys Tie Xiaofu's love for him very much, whenever she sticks to him in public, Liu Tao can always feel that the people in the Iron Wolf Gang will look at him with a special look, and the eyes of him are completely different from ordinary times, this kind of respectable feeling, he likes it very much, and when he heard the words, he nodded seriously: "Yes, it is enough for your father to protect us, of course, I will also protect you, no matter what danger you encounter, I will protect you with my life." ”
Listening to the sweet words, Tie Xiaofu's cheeks were crimson, and her eyes were full of deep admiration and tenderness.
However, Iron Beard's eyes were cold, he glared at Liu Tao slightly, and said coldly: "Don't you have to work?"
Hearing this, Liu Tao's expression froze, and he reluctantly left from Tie Xiaofu's side, the moment he turned around, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, whenever Tie Xiaofu was close to him, Iron Beard would always come forward to stop him, he understood that Iron Beard looked down on him and was destroying his relationship with Tie Xiaofu, which made Liu Tao hold a grudge.
