The Ou Ji Weapons Shop in the west of Luliu Town is a time-honored brand, it is rumored that the ancestors once opened a shop in the Fuzhi of Qingjiang Mansion, with exquisite craftsmanship, fair prices, and excellent reputation.

Zhao Han entered the shop, then walked to the forging room behind him, and said loudly: "Old Ou, come out quickly, young master, I want to take care of you today." ”

"Han Shao, why are you here today?"

With the sound of the urn sounding, I saw a strong man nine feet tall, with his upper body exposed, and his muscles and flesh like steel poured into iron, he was about thirty years old, with a simple face, and his palms were wrapped in linen, and his body was dripping with sweat, obviously he was busy on the fire before.

He is the owner of Ou Kee Blacksmith Shop, the best blacksmith in Greenwillow Town. In order to temper his physical strength, his predecessor spent two months learning the art of striking iron from a European blacksmith, and the two had a good temper and had a good relationship.

"Lao Ou, don't talk about it, give me your best big bow and arrows, I have something urgent. ”

"The best big bow is naturally the Cloud Wolf Bow, but this bow requires thirty-five stone arm strength to be used, can you?" Ou Blacksmith was also a cheerful person, took Zhao Han to the warehouse, turned out a big bow that was seven feet long, and handed it over.

The bow body of this seven-foot bow is forged from 100 steel jade, with excellent toughness, the whole body is dark blue, the bow body is covered with fine patterns like clouds, and the bowstring is made of the python tendons of the diamond python for six years, which is the last work of Ou blacksmith's father before his death.

When my predecessor was learning to make iron with Ou Blacksmith, he had seen this bow and was deeply impressed, so Zhao Han recognized it at a glance, but he didn't expect Ou Blacksmith to take the initiative to take out this treasure bow today.

"Man, how can you say that you can't do it?" Zhao Han took the big bow with a smile, and pulled it at will, and opened the bow like a full moon, startling the blacksmith Ou.

"Okay, I haven't seen you for a while, but your strength has actually increased by almost ten stones, and you really deserve to be the first person in Luliu Town!"

"Old Ou, it seems that your skin is itchy. Zhao Han looked at the blacksmith Ou who had a simple face, but his small eyes were full of cunning, snorted, waved his hand, and said, "Good bow with good arrows, old Ou, come ten wolf tooth armor-piercing arrows and two bags of stainless steel white feather arrows, and then leather armor and a dagger." ”

Blacksmith Ou nodded, spread his right hand, and said: "Okay, no problem, I will benefit two thousand eight hundred and thirty-five taels, and the fraction will be erased for you, a total of two thousand eight hundred taels, and the small business will not be credited." ”

Zhao Han took out a silver ticket from his arms and slapped it in the blacksmith's hand, gritted his teeth and said: "I will give you a deposit of one hundred taels first, and I will try it for a day, if it is easy to use, I will balance it tomorrow, if it is not good, this hundred taels will be given to you." ”

"Uh......" Ou blacksmith was stunned, obviously the first time he encountered this situation, he felt that it was inappropriate, but he was clumsy and couldn't say why.

"Why, for a big business close to three thousand taels, don't you allow me to try it for a day? Or are you afraid that I will try something bad and smash your signboard?"

"Fart, who doesn't know that the quality of my Ou Ji's weapons is very good!" Ou Blacksmith was excited by the words, his bull's eyes glared, and his snort groaned.

"Then what are you worried about? I'm afraid that I won't settle the bill? Our Zhao clan's reputation is worth three thousand taels of silver?" Zhao Han had a smile on his face as he sent the reluctant blacksmith to prepare what he was asking for.

Sample, just this IQ still dares to chirp crookedly with me!

However, this method can also coax an honest person like Lao Ou, who has a good relationship with him, if he made such a request in another store, he would have been beaten out with a stick.

When he left the Ou Ji shop, Zhao Han had changed his equipment, he was wearing a delicate cowhide armor, a cyan bow and two quivers full of arrows hung behind him, and a steel dagger with a length of a ruler hidden in his boots, fully armed.

"Han Shao, tomorrow, early tomorrow morning, you will either come to settle the bill, or return the things, after so many years of old friendship, you can't cheat me. ”

Blacksmith Ou stood at the door, looking at Zhao Han, who was energetic and radiant, and couldn't stop thinking in his mouth.

"Lao Ou, can't you believe in my character? One day, you will pass by striking iron, and tomorrow you will wait to count the silver." Zhao Han felt ashamed in his heart, and his speech was a little lacking, if his fate was bad this time, he would lose his life, and his equipment would be lost, and Lao Ou Ke would suffer heavy losses.

Bidding farewell to the reluctant old Ou, Zhao Han went to the mule and horse shop, spent fifty taels to choose a healthy horse, and prepared some dry food and water, and then went out of Luliu Town with a gust of wind and ran towards Xiaomang Mountain.

An hour later, Xiaomang Mountain, sixty miles away from Luliu Town, was close in front of him.

Xiaomang Mountain is not high, only about three or four hundred zhang, located on the south bank of the Luzhu Lake, the mountain is steep and steep, stretches for more than 40 miles, the forest is abundant, the flowers and plants are numerous, the birds and beasts that inhabit here are not a few, accumulate over time, and it has become the gathering place of the monsters within dozens of miles nearby, but after several fierce strangulations of the warriors of Chiyan City, the monsters have also learned to be obedient, hide in the deep mountains, and rarely go down the mountain.

It snowed heavily the night before, and it was the time when the snow was cleared, the temperature was lower than before, the north wind was howling, like a sharp knife scratching on people's faces, the four fields were plain white, and they extended to the small Mang Mountain in front, white and clean, and there were few traces.

Zhao Han carried a bow and arrows on his back, beat his horse and turned around at the foot of Xiaomang Mountain for more than half an hour, and finally found a place hidden in the vast plain color.

"Dada~"

The sound of hooves sounded softly, knocking on the frozen mountain road, Zhao Han's eyes swept over the traces on the ground, and his brows frowned slightly.

This is a typical small mountain village, with no more than a dozen households, most of them are built with thatched huts, fences are erected with tree branches, and every household raises dogs, and a series of dog barking sounds will be heard when the wind blows.

It was a remote place, and it was supposed to be sparsely populated, but the ground was crawling with messy marks, and it was clear that many strangers had come and gone in the past two days.

"Uncle Mu Jian, what are you doing here?"

At this time, the wooden slip on Zhao Han's chest suddenly warmed up, which made him startled, but he was puzzled, observed for a while, and saw that it did not continue to change in other ways, Zhao Han chose a family at random, and after knocking on the firewood door, he saw a middle-aged villager with a dark face and honest honesty.

Zhao Han couldn't care about the wooden slips that warmed up again in his chest, and exchanged greetings with the villagers who came out, so he went straight to the topic and asked about the demon disaster.

"Speaking of this demon disaster, it's really ...... It's very miserable, we have seventeen families in Xishi Village, ninety-three people, thirteen of them died this time, and the daughter-in-law of the He family is seven months pregnant, and the result is ......"

The villager named Chen San is not yet forty this year, but his face is full of weather, his hair is gray, but his body is very strong, and he has a bold personality, and he is extremely enthusiastic after learning that Zhao Han is the son of the Zhao family in Luliu Town.

"Our Zhao clan has also sent people to investigate this matter, and some people have been seriously injured. Zhao Han nodded and sighed lightly.

When Chen San heard this, he sighed and said: "But not only the uncles of the Zhao family, the Wang family, and the Cheng family in Luliu Town, but even some nobles from Chiyan City have come, and they have injured several of them." ”

Zhao Han's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Oh, even the people from Chiyan City are here, it seems that this time there is a lot of trouble." ”

"Listen to those nobles, it is a tiger demon, born with a different species, infinite strength, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, coming and going like the wind, although we hunters are good at hunting, but against the monsters, it is not enough to even plug the teeth. ”

Chen San's face was full of helplessness, and then he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "This tiger demon has never gone down the mountain to make trouble before, and the reason why it is so big this time is said to be ...... Someone stole its cub to provoke it. ”

"The person who did this is really lacking in morality, he is good to provoke the tiger demon, if he really has the ability to get rid of that monster, my old Chen also admires him. But he didn't have the ability to provoke him, and in the end, it affected our Xishi Village, thirteen lives, including one corpse and two lives, it's really ...... Evil!"

Zhao Han thought for a while and said, "There are only a few familiar faces in your Xishi Village, as long as there are strangers passing by, it is not difficult to find out, haven't you tracked down that guy?"

"Why not, our Xishi Village is a big place, as long as it is an outsider, it can't be hidden at all!" Chen San's face showed a look of indignation, and finally said helplessly, "That person...... But a nobleman, we can't afford to provoke him. ”

Zhao Han smiled, noncommittal, and said: "This noble man is not a head and two arms, besides, in Chiyan City, not everyone is a nobleman. ”

When Chen San heard this, he was in a hurry, his face was swollen red, and he said: "It's different, this time it's a real nobleman, but there is a real martial artist by his side!"

"It's impossible, if it's really the real life warrior, how can it be that you still lose thirteen lives in your village?"

"This ...... It is said that they went into the mountains that night to collect medicine, and as a result, the youkai happened to come, which is why so many people died. Besides, in the past two days, that adult is leading people and tiger demons to fight, but that monster is very difficult and has injured a lot of people, but it is estimated that it is about the same, and there should be results in a few days. ”

Zhao Han raised his eyebrows, the corner of his eyes crossed somewhere, the whole person froze suddenly, and then quietly changed the topic, chatted with Chen San for a while, estimated the time, pretended to inadvertently inquire about the approximate location of the group of people in Chiyan City these days, and after getting the answer, he got up to say goodbye, left the Jianma, entrusted Chen San to take care of it, carried the bow and arrows on his back, and went up the mountain alone.

It wasn't until Zhao Han's back disappeared into the mountain road that Chen San in front of the chai gate raised his eyebrows slightly, and the honesty on his face instantly faded, replaced by cunning and cruelty, his pupils jumped with a green light, licked his mouth, and suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Han's healthy horse tied to the door of the firewood, revealing a sly smile.

Behind him, a tail two or three feet long, the size of a bucket, covered with black scales, swayed gently.

The next moment, a rich demonic aura shrouded the chaimen, followed by a terrible neighing sound of horses, followed by a crisp sound of "click~click" chewing bones, and there was no movement after a while.
