In the World Chapter 52 Into the Mountain
Looking at Dugu Zhishui's life-like appearance, Hong Aya smiled very much. She poured herself a cup of tea, and said as she drank it: "Sister, I have helped you identify, you should be an innocent little virgin." ”
Red Candle lit her forehead and said angrily, "Dead girl, what do you mean?"
Zhi Yuan also sat down and echoed: "I also think that my sister is a little abnormal today, it is rare to see you interested in a man on weekdays, why did you take the initiative to drink with that Dugu Zhishui today, don't you really like him?"
Red Candle was forced to ask by the two sisters together, her face full of helplessness, "I met him for the first time, how could I possibly fall in love with him." ”
"Why is that?"
"I don't know, I just feel like he looks familiar. ”
"Could it be...... You've seen it before?"
"We've grown up together since we were kids, and we've been almost inseparable, and if I've seen him, you've seen him too. ”
Hong Aya thought for a while, and suddenly said seriously: "I know." ”
Red Candle and Zhi Kite were both shocked, "You really remembered?"
"My sister must have seen him in a dream......"
Zhi Yuan gave her a blank look, obviously thinking she was talking nonsense. However, Red Candle frowned slightly and nodded thoughtfully......
Dugu Zhishui hurriedly escaped from the Drunken Dream Pavilion with Feng Wenyu on his back, and when he returned to the inn, it was already late. Throwing the unconscious Feng Wenyu on the bed, Dugu Zhishui withdrew with a disgusted face. The inn was full, and he had to take Feng Wenyu back to his room.
There was a knock on the door, and the innkeeper brought some hot water, and the wine of Dugu Zhishui had not yet dissipated, and he suddenly felt much more sober after drinking a cup of hot tea. At this time, Feng Wenyu, who was standing upright, suddenly turned over, and vomited all over the ground. Dugu Zhishui's forehead suddenly jumped, and he wanted to throw him out immediately.
After tossing for a long time, Dugu Zhishui finally cleaned the ground, but the smell in the room was really pungent. After a day of running, he was also exhausted, and because of Feng Wenyu's existence, he did not meditate and cultivate, but rested against the table.
The next day, when the sky was bright, Feng Wenyu sat up in a daze, and when he settled down, he found himself in a very simple room, he knocked on his head blankly, but he couldn't remember anything. He jumped out of bed with a look of disgust, smelling the faint strange smell in the room, and his expression was extremely unnatural. Seeing that there was no one around, he hurried out of the room, not forgetting to open all the windows before leaving.
Dugu Zhishui led the horse to walk in the bustling city, the residual heat of the Shenwu altar selection has passed, and now the streets and alleys of Anping City are still lively, but there are always fewer people. He bought some necessary supplies in the mountains, found a place to stay, and then stayed in his room to cultivate.
On the second day, in front of the east gate of Anping City. A group of people gathered here early, and by the time Dugu Zhishui arrived, there were already fifteen people. He glanced at it cursoryly, and these people were indeed all martial artists, but a few of them seemed to have just broken through. These people are not young, most of them are middle-aged, and even he saw a person with gray temples from the team.
Suddenly, Dugu Zhishui's expression froze, and he found that there were two people staring at him intently behind the crowd. Glancing at the two of them, Dugu Zhishui felt slightly embarrassed. At this moment, the middle-aged man with gray temples came out of the crowd, and looked at Dugu Zhishui with magical eyes.
"You're here for the mission, too?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Yes. Dugu Zhishui nodded slightly.
"Don't be clever with me, young man, this time our mission is very dangerous. If you have not registered with the treasurer, I advise you to leave as soon as possible. He didn't seem convinced.
"It was your treasurer who invited me to come. Dugu Zhishui smiled slightly, "My name is Dugu Zhishui, you can see if there is me on the list." ”
The middle-aged man took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and looked at it a few times, and nodded suspiciously, in his cognition, it was rare for such a young martial artist to be in the hunter industry.
Seeing that this group of people had no intention of leaving, Dugu Zhishui speculated that the people had not yet arrived, he looked at the two people at the back of the crowd and found that they were still staring at him, and it seemed a little strange why he was here.
Although he felt a little embarrassed, after all, everyone broke up unhappily not long ago, but thinking that he would have to go into the mountain with them in the next few days, Dugu Zhishui still took the initiative to come over and smiled: "Such a coincidence, you also come to earn a bounty." ”
Dugu Zhishui took the initiative to come over to talk, but the two of them were a little overwhelmed, these two people were the two of the hunter team that Dugu Zhishui had encountered, Sun Xiaofeng and A Yan.
"You...... Isn't it a doctor? Ah Yan said softly.
Dugu Zhishui smiled slightly and said, "What's the matter? ”
"This trip is very dangerous, although I don't know what your strength is, but since you can be invited by the shopkeeper, you must be exceptional. Sun Xiaofeng said quite firmly.
Dugu Zhishui smiled silently.
After another stick of incense, the number of people on the street began to increase, but no one came again.
"Leader, have you all arrived? Why don't you set off yet?" someone in the team suddenly asked.
The middle-aged leader's face was not very good-looking, and he replied lightly: "What's the hurry, the employer hasn't arrived yet." ”
After waiting for another half hour, the street was already bustling with people, and the team began to talk.
"What kind of person is this employer, such a big shelf. ”
"If you are so rich, you must be from a big family. ”
"No, if it's those big families, where can we be used?"
"There are more famous families in Anping City, how can they all be like the three major families. ”
At one moment, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd on the street. After a crowd had flipped on their backs, three horses came whizzing, and in a moment they had reached the gate of the city. The leader was a middle-aged man in black light armor, followed by two guards in armor, who looked like he was from the military.
The man sat on his horse, only glanced faintly at the leader of the hunter team, and then he swung his whip sharply, leaving only the word "follow", and galloped away.
The hunter leader stared at the back of the so-called employer with an expressionless face, he looked at the group of hunters who were guessing who the person was, and coldly ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze? Don't you see that the employer has left?
Everyone mounted their horses, and in the sound of neighing, only a piece of dust remained.
......
In the vast mountains, a large group of people galloped on horseback, and no one in the team spoke, only the sound of horses' hooves echoed in the surrounding dense forest. This place is not too far from Anping City, and there are paths in the mountains that have been carved out by predecessors over the years, although they are not flat, but they are not very rugged.
The team walked very fast, and within half a day, it had traveled a hundred miles outside Anping City. As we went deeper, the traces of human activity diminished, the roads became more and more difficult to navigate, and the speed of the procession became slower. It was almost noon, and the middle-aged man in front of him suddenly stopped, and it turned out that there was no road in front of him.
After a short rest, the team set out again, this time led by the captain of the hunter to open the way in front, and at this time it was no longer possible to ride horses, and everyone could only lead the horses. Dugu Zhishui followed at the end of the team, and Ah Yan and Sun Xiaofeng walked with him.
It was not easy to open up the road temporarily, and there were many steep slopes and boulders in the mountains, and the horses had to be led, so the team was extremely difficult to travel. With so much stuff on their backs, the team couldn't abandon their horses. Dugu Zhishui casually looked at a half-human-tall thing resembling a diamond-shaped dart on horseback as he walked, and Ah Yan suddenly whispered: "This is part of the net of heaven and earth, which is used to arrange a formation to trap the prey. ”
"Heaven and earth?" Dugu Zhishui was slightly stunned, and asked with a smile: "What realm of prey can this thing trap?"
Sun Xiaofeng explained: "This is the secret treasure of the guild, and it will not be taken out easily. All you get is one of the Formation Eyes, and you can see that everyone in the team has one of these, and it can only be activated if all the Formation Eyes activate the Heaven and Earth Web at the same time. As for what realm of prey can be trapped, it depends on the strength of the user, and it is said that the seniors of the guild once worked together to trap a Martial Venerable-level Blood Demon Heavenly Ape. Speaking of this, Sun Xiaofeng's eyes were full of respect and yearning.
Dugu Zhishui was slightly surprised, due to the influence of the Qiqi bloodline, the strength of the Martial Venerable level Blood Demon Heavenly Ape was extremely strong, and if a human monk of the same level did not have a strong martial skill, it was almost impossible to match it. In this way, the treasure that can trap the Martial Venerable level Blood Demon Heavenly Ape is indeed extraordinary.
However, unlike the excitement between Sun Xiaofeng's eyebrows, Ah Yan's expression was flat and he didn't seem interested in it.
During the night, the team cleared a large open space, sprinkled insect repellent powder around it, and a group of people lit a bonfire and burned some boiling water to soak in dry food to eat, and some people even brought some dried meat, attracting acquaintances to come and rob them. The nose of the demon beast is very smart, and the hunters generally do not bring meat when they enter the mountains, and the team is full of veterans who have been in the mountains for a long time, and they are not so particular about eating.
The employer and the two guards built a bonfire on their own, and the three of them sat around and did not communicate with anyone else. One of the guards hunted a hare, fat and strong, and after a simple treatment, roasted it on the fire to produce an enticing aroma of meat. The hunter who silently gnawed on the dry food secretly swallowed his saliva on the side, but he was helpless. The captain of the hunter is very strict in management, and the hunters are not allowed to hunt without his permission, but there are not so many restrictions on the hunters recruited by Dugu Zhishui.
Dugu Zhishui has been a lot thicker recently, so he brought a lot of good things into the mountains. He hid behind the crowd, Ah Yan brought him a bowl of hot water, and just happened to see him take out a bunch of food from his bag like moving, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Don't you know that going into the mountains to hunt should have less fishy things?"
