(4th Watch)

Rouge Mountain is in the eastern part of the Tianqin Empire, close to more than 10,000 miles away from the Imperial Academy, if it is only by foot strength, I am afraid that it will take Xiao Feng half a year for them to come and go, but the Imperial Academy is different from other places, because the front of the academy is embellished with the word Empire, so all the teleportation talisman arrays of the empire can be used for free, and Xiao Feng is very proud to be able to walk into this kind of large array with a teleportation distance of tens of thousands with a shake of the waist card.

There were a few flickering moments in the formation, and after about half an hour, they arrived.

The teleportation rune array is displayed on the various traffic arteries of the Shenwu Continent, originally these rune arrays were set up by the gods a few years ago for human beings to be able to participate in the battlefield, and then the heavenly demons died, and the teleportation rune array gradually turned into the private property of the major empires, and the place where these rune arrays are located, even if it is remote, a city will be built, and the place where Xiao Feng and them appeared at this time is Rouge City.

Rouge City, as the name suggests, got this name by Rouge Mountain, this is a very quaint small city, built for some years, on both sides of the street are treasure shops and Four Seasons Cave, the name of Four Seasons Cave is very interesting, Xiao Feng couldn't help but ask Gong Rumei, Gong Rumei glanced at it, and said with a hint of disgust:

"That's a black shop, and those who collect stolen goods on the market are generally called Four Seasons Cave. ”

"Stolen goods?"

Xiao Feng couldn't help but be amazed, in these years, black shops can be opened so blatantly.

"Because these black shops are all opened by the spirits, or simply those big sects, the four seasons do not stop, and those who come do not refuse, so they have such a name, the Four Seasons Cave is actually not a special store name, it is a business. ”

Gong Rumei looked at Xiao Feng and the three of them were puzzled, and patiently explained in detail.

"Be careful, don't show your wealth in this kind of place, although we are from the Imperial Academy, ordinary people don't dare to have crooked thoughts, but on this continent, there are too many ordinary people. ”

Gong Rumei reminded again, which made Xia Ziying, who had just taken out her wallet and was about to buy a bunch of jewelry to vent, so she had to put the money bag back again.

"It's not early, buy two tents, prepare a little food, let's go into the mountain overnight, and today we will first touch the lair of the Flame Drill Mountain Beast." ”

Gong Rumei then instructed Xiao Feng and Tu Su to buy tents and food, while she and Xia Ziying bought other necessities.

"Hall Master, this is the alchemy shop. ”

Xia Ziying muttered in a low voice, the alchemy shop is a place to sell potions, and most of these potions are poisons, if you buy healing medicines, you should go to the pharmacy, not here.

"Shopkeeper, give me a bottle of finishing touch. ”

Gong Rumei ignored Xia Ziying, although Xia Ziying's family background is powerful, she has very little experience in the rivers and lakes, and she has never heard of this experience of hunting spirit animals in the wild.

"Girl, go into the mountains. ”

The shopkeeper was an old man in his fifties, who enthusiastically handed over a copper bottle and asked casually.

"Hmm. ”

Gong Rumei nodded, and then glanced at the counter again.

"There are only two girls, and I am afraid that it will not be safe to enter the mountains at this time. ”

The old man was gossiping, while Gong Rumei continued to watch the goods on display, and Xia Ziying continued:

"When is it safe to enter the mountain?"

The old man pursed his lips and smiled, stared at Xia Ziying and said:

"Little girl, to be honest, it's not safe to go into the mountains at any time. ”

"And what are you talking about here?"

Xia Ziying flattened her mouth and returned angrily.

"I can provide the girls with something to keep them safe, look here. ”

The old man turned around and pulled, and the rope that was hanging was pulled down with a "snap", and half of the wall was knocked back, and two shelves fell on both sides, and a bunch of signs hung on the shelves.

"These are our famous mercenary groups here, they have everything the girl wants, even if they don't have it, they will go into the mountain to find the girl, as long as the girl pays a little money, drink tea in this rouge city, go shopping, and then take what you want and leave, isn't this safe?"

The old man blinked and said, Xia Ziying suddenly became interested, she hadn't seen the mercenary group yet.

"Interesting, what if I need two Flame Drill Mountain Beast's horns?"

Gong Rumei was about to stop her, but she didn't expect Xia Ziying to say it, the old man glanced at Xia Ziying in surprise, gritted his teeth and said:

"If that's the thing, these mercenaries won't be useful, like that. ”

The old man pulled the rope again, and the rope was pulled directly to the bottom, only to hear a "pop", and another shelf fell, this shelf was half the size of a wall, but there was only one sign on the shelf.

"The Red Fire Mercenary Group, this is the strongest mercenary group we have here, there are thousands of people in the whole group with armor, there are dozens of spirits alone, among which there are many masters, the girl wants to drill the horns of the beasts, they will definitely be able to get them, but the price is more expensive, a horn, 50,000!"

"Fifty thousand, don't tease, you coax the child, Ziying, let's go!"

Gong Rumei sneered, pulled Xia Ziying and walked out of the door, Xia Ziying didn't feel expensive, because she was not short of money, and she didn't understand the market, the old man watched them leave, his face flashed uncertainly for a while, and suddenly shouted in a low voice:

"Xiao Lu, find a few people to follow these two girls. ”

"Good. ”

There was a sound inside, and then there was no movement.

"Hall Master, did I say the wrong thing?"

Xia Ziying looked at Gong Rumei, whose face was not too good-looking, and asked in a low voice.

Gong Rumei sighed and said earnestly:

"You have too little experience in the rivers and lakes, this Rouge City is mixed with fish and snakes, this is the place with the most mercenary groups in the whole continent, do you know what the mercenary group does?"

"What?"

Xia Ziying was very cooperative and curious.

Gong Rumei said in a deep voice:

"Those who abide by the rules are serious mercenary groups, and those who do not abide by the rules are thieves groups, who are abducted and deceived, forcibly robbed, and killed people and goods. ”

"Wouldn't it, so terrifying?

"How do you care? They have licenses issued by the empire, and the looted things are directly sold to the Four Seasons Caves, and without stolen goods, the empire can't manage it if it wants to. ”

"It turns out that the role of this Four Seasons Cave is here. ”

Xia Ziying suddenly realized.

"Okay, let's go find them, don't chat with people casually without my permission in the future, and don't know if you're sold. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

Xia Ziying nodded again and again.

The two returned to the agreed place before, Xiao Feng and Tu Su also arrived just in time, because they were not sure if they could find the lair of the Flame Drill Mountain Beast today, Xiao Feng and Tu Su prepared food for three days, and the two men carried a tent on their backs, and then carried food and sundries, so the four of them went directly into the mountain, they didn't find it, not far away, a few passers-by were quietly following them.

"Hall Master, the Flame Drill Mountain Beast is so powerful, how much is the reward for this task?"

Tu Su was very curious about how tempting Gong Rumei was when she personally dispatched this task.

Gong Rumei pursed her lips, thought about it and returned:

"Ten thousand gold coins, plus three thousand spirit stones. ”

"Hey, give me back the money?"

Tu Su asked strangely, Gong Rumei glanced at him, and said in a deep voice:

"There are tasks of practical value that will be paid for, such as this one. ”

"Oh, it's just that three thousand spirit stones are too little. ”

Tu Su pursed his lips, apparently because he thought the academy was too picky.

"Then you don't know the market, three thousand spirit stones, if you calculate according to the black market price of the academy, this is 90,000 gold coins. ”

Gong Rumei stunned the three people with a word, looking at their stunned appearance, Gong Rumei walked forward happily, the reason why she came to this task in person was because the reward for the task was very generous, and with these three thousand spirit stones in the account, she didn't need to come out again for at least half a year.

Rouge Mountain is red soil, the mountain is like a hump, the highest place of this mountain can reach hundreds of zhang, the mountain is winding and undulating, covering an area of very large, Rouge Mountain is full of trees, the vegetation is dense, so the aura here is much richer than the outside, so there are more spirit beasts bred here, therefore, Rouge Mountain is also a famous place for exploration on the Shenwu Continent.

It's just that the mountain is not everywhere, because there have been dragon footprints at the northern foot of Rouge Mountain, so it has always been a forbidden place, plus the perennial dead people in the northern foothills, it is very dangerous, Gong Rumei chose to enter the southern foot of Rouge Mountain, which is almost the other end, and the flame drill mountain beast is active in the southern foothills.

"The mountains are big and the forests are wide, how can I find this. ”

Tu Su straightened his waist, they had been walking for more than an hour, the light in the forest was not very sufficient, and the dampness was really not very comfortable.

"Go in for another hour, and I'll have a way then. ”

Gong Rumei walked in front very easily, here is the advantage of the realm, she is the spirit of the Escape Martial Realm, the spiritual power storage is far greater than Tu Su, she can easily float up, and Tu Su They have to go forward step by step, as for Xia Ziying, although she has not reached the Escape Martial Realm, but people have spiritual weapons, and it is very easy to step on the aqua blue long sword, and the two men are tired and humming.

The Flame Diamond Mountain Beast is a large spirit beast, and it has a wide range of activities, but it will definitely not come to the periphery of Rouge Mountain, because the higher the level of the spirit beast, the more intelligent it is, and most of them understand that approaching humans means approaching danger.

After walking for more than an hour, Xiao Feng carried all the tent sundries on Tu Su's body, but Tu Su was still tired and sweaty, the mountain was not a grassland, and he walked not a flat path, up and down, climbing high and low, it was really exhausting, and finally waited for Gong Rumei to order a rest, Tu Su sat on the ground and fell asleep.

"You're here for a long time, I'll try my luck and see if I can find it. ”

Gong Rumei said a word and floated out, Xia Ziying fell, silently took out the water bottle from the salute, and then placed it next to Tu Su who had fallen asleep, and then found a tree and sat down quietly.

Xiao Feng was a little embarrassed, because Xia Ziying didn't look at him when she did these things, this deliberate avoidance revealed an indescribable weirdness, Xiao Feng took out the water bottle by himself, drank it several times, and then found a tree and sat down.

"Do you really like her?"

Xiao Feng's farts hadn't settled yet, Xia Ziying asked, "Teng", Xiao Feng frowned, because of panic, he sat directly on a bunch of tree roots, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, Xiao Feng pretended to be confused:

"Who are you talking about?"

"Who else?"

Xia Ziying didn't seem to like Xiao Feng's set, Xiao Feng had no choice but to smile bitterly and said:

"If I say I have nothing to do with her, will you believe me?"

"I'll tell everyone in the academy tomorrow that Tu Su and I are a couple, and then I'll ask you again, I said that I have nothing to do with him, do you believe me?"

Xia Ziying was a little aggressive, and Xiao Feng continued to smile bitterly:

"I believe it. ”

"Liar! You're a big liar!"

Xia Ziying gritted her teeth and said, I don't know if it was because she had been suppressed for too long these days, or because Xiao Feng had never explained to her, Xia Ziying's unassuming tears burst out of her eyes.

Xiao Feng didn't see her crying, and pretended there vigorously:

"I'm not lying to you, I'm with your sister, nothing. ”

"When you come back with the baby in your arms and stand in front of me, then you can still say, nothing? I see through you!"

Xia Ziying stood up suddenly, and angrily kicked a pile of dirt towards Xiao Feng, but this puff of dirt, before Xiao Feng was kicked by something, it was blocked by something, and the wet mud with Shui Ze slapped in the air, Xia Ziying immediately screamed, Xiao Feng turned his head to look, and jumped out.
