Volume 1 Darkness Rising Chapter 39 Treacherous Orcs

Zhou Chang listened to the conversation between Zhe Nie and Lao Feng, as if he was talking about some treasure, could it be that Zhen Nie really entered the 100,000 barren mountains not only for the fat man, but also to find the treasures buried in the 100,000 barren mountains?

Just as Zhou Chang was thinking, Zheni suddenly walked over to Zhou Chang, patted Zhou Chang's shoulder, and whispered, "The young man borrowed your bracelet to use." ”

Zhou Chang didn't think much about it, took the bracelet from his wrist and handed it to Zhennie.

Zhen Nie took Zhou Chang's bracelet, walked to Lao Feng's side again, and shook it in front of him with the bracelet, "This is not the fake you sold, it's really an ancient thing, look at how much gold it's worth?"

Lao Feng took the bracelet and flipped it up and down, the more he looked at it, the more strange it became. He asked the man to bring a bowl of water, and then he put the bracelet in the bowl.

Just as the bracelet sank to the bottom of the bowl, the water in the bowl suddenly turned blood red, and Lao Feng picked up the bowl and took a sip of the water in the bowl. The clear water dyed red by the bracelet was like a spicy spirit, and Lao Feng took a bite of it, and his face immediately burned red.

"There is indeed an eternal blood jade in this world, and my old Feng is really insightful. ”

Lao Feng paused for a moment, and then said: "It turns out that you have such a rare treasure in your hands, no wonder you can't look down on my tattered things." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhe Nie said: "Boss, do you think if you can't find the treasure in the 100,000 barren mountains here, how about giving you this 10,000 ancient blood jade?"

Lao Feng didn't believe in Zhe Nie at first, but now when he saw this Eternal Blood Jade, he suddenly came to his senses, this Eternal Blood Jade is a priceless treasure, even if he can't find the treasure, it is worth going to the mysterious 100,000 Barren Mountains to get this Eternal Blood Jade.

Lao Feng immediately nodded and agreed to Zhennie's conditions, looked at the dense crowd outside, asked the guy to close the door of the store, invited Zhou Chang and them to the back hall, and asked the guy to bring tea and snacks.

Zhou Chang and the others walked for most of the day, and their stomachs were already hungry, and when they saw the delicious dim sum, they ate it unceremoniously.

Lao Feng saw that they were really hungry, so he asked the men to prepare a table of wine and food, and discussed the plan to go to the 100,000 barren mountains while eating.

During this period, Zhou Chang asked Lao Feng about the ancient blood jade. Regarding the matter of the ancient blood jade, Lao Feng couldn't say it very clearly, anyway, this thing is rare in the world and very valuable.

After a group of people were full of wine and food, Lao Feng chatted with Zhou Chang and them for a while, and when it was almost dark, Lao Feng glanced at the street from the window, and saw that there were not many pedestrians on the street, so he explained a few words to the guys, and said to everyone that they were going to operate a set of equipment, find some porters and helpers, and went out alone.

After Lao Feng left, Tamar, who had been calm, suddenly turned cold, pointed at Zhennie and said coldly: "What's the matter with that parchment scroll in your hand? What's the matter with finding treasures? What is the purpose of going to the 100,000 Barren Mountains?"

In the face of Tamar's many questions, Djenet shrugged his broad shoulders, took out the parchment, spread it on the table, looked around, and saw that the man was not there, so he lowered his voice and said to the people, "This parchment is not a treasure map, it is a record of the hiding place of Aurery. There are dangers lurking in the 100,000 barren mountains, and although you all have unique skills, none of you have been to the 100,000 barren mountains. With the help of a guide and porter, we have a better chance of finding Durrey and making it alive. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Chang couldn't help but interject: "According to what you say, we don't go to find any treasures, so what if we can't give the antique shop owner enough rewards when the time comes, and he asks me for a bracelet?"

Zheni said: "Don't worry, we orcs will repay our kindness and will not let the benefactors give anything." I'm Durrey's lifesaver, and if I find her, she'll find a way to pay all the antique shop owners. ”

Taizhang frowned, and he glanced at Zhennie deeply, as if he wanted to see his true intentions from him.

Tamar didn't have as many eyes as Taizhang, and he could barely make sense of Zheni's explanation, shrugged his shoulders, and said no more.

However, Zhou Chang knew that the bracelet on his wrist was made of ancient blood jade, and he heard Lao Feng say that it was very valuable, thinking that after the fat man's forbidden soul curse was lifted, he would sell the bracelet, and share the gold coins sold with everyone, and then go back to his hometown with the fat man, build a few big tiled houses in the village, and eat oil cakes and drink mutton soup with his grandmother every day.

When Zhou Chang was daydreaming, Lao Feng returned to the shop, followed by a man who looked like an iron tower, tall, dark and strong.

The tower man wore a turf hat and a black linen shirt, with a simple face.

Lao Feng introduced the tower man to Zhou Chang, his name is Shi Dangdang, and he is a famous local demon hunter. He heard that Lao Feng was going to organize a donkey team to go to 100,000 barren mountains, and it happened that he also had something to go to 100,000 barren mountains, so he agreed to allow Lao Feng to be a helper.

There are many folk legends about demon hunters, who are warriors who specialize in hunting alien demons for bounties.

There are many factions among the Demon Hunters, among which the two more famous ones are: the Armillary Sect, which focuses on martial arts, and the Xuanye Sect, which focuses on magic.

The demon hunters of the Armillary Sect can use the language of imprisonment, and are equipped with green steel swords soaked in the blood of black dogs, crossbow bows, and daggers with runes planted by onmyoji and ancient linguists.

The demon hunter of the Xuanye faction is also known as the Five Magic School because he is proficient in the five secret techniques of dividing mountains and seas, spiritual governance and franchis, trapping dragons and locking tigers, trapping traps, and stealing the sky and changing the sun.

As soon as everyone saw Shi Dangdang's size, they knew that he must be a demon hunter of the Hunting Heaven Sect.

Zhou Chang heard the most in the village is the legend about the demon hunter, he admires the demon hunter the most, I heard that this big black man is a demon hunter, and both eyes are shining.

After Lao Feng's introduction, the two sides had a simple understanding.

At this time, Tamar suddenly asked Shi Dangdang which faction of the demon hunters he belonged to.

Sure enough, Shi Dangdang replied that it was the Huntian Sect, and he continued, "I have been to the 100,000 Barren Mountains several times, but I have never gone into the depths of the 100,000 Barren Mountains. Even so, many companions died. Therefore, I remind you that if you really want to go to the 100,000 barren mountains, you must be prepared to have the courage to lose your life at any time. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly spotted the parchment scroll spread out on the table, and saw that there were countless mountains and forests painted on it, and there was also a route marked in red.

"Is this the road map to the treasure?" Shi Dangdang asked, pointing to the parchment.

"Yes, this parchment scroll is a treasure map," Zhe Nie replied to Shi Dangdang in a low noise, as he rolled up the parchment and put it back into his arms.

Shi Dangdang seemed to hear something strange from Zhennie's voice, and his two bright eyes stared at Zhennie, "The end of your map should be in the depths of the 100,000 barren mountains. As far as I know, people who haven't come out alive in the depths of the 100,000 barren mountains, where did you get this map?"

Zheni suddenly raised his hand and tore off the black gauze covering his face, revealing the old lion face.

When Lao Feng saw Zhennie's face at first glance, he took two steps back in fright, "Are you an orc?"

Zhe Nie took off the gloves on his hands again, revealing two big furry hands that kept flipping in front of him, as if admiring a work of art, "The human race entered the 100,000 barren mountains and didn't come out alive, isn't there a beast race?"

"Beasts, there doesn't seem to be any orcs among the five major races on the continent?" said Shi Dangdang.

Zheni looked out the window and whispered to himself, "It will be soon." ”

As he spoke, he looked back at Lao Feng and then at Shi Gandang, "Since the words have been spoken, I won't hide it from you." Looking at them, he said, "I just met these people a few days ago, and one of their friends fell for the forbidden soul technique of the Demon Clan's Taboo Master......"

At that moment, Zheni briefly explained the origin of everyone, and then told Lao Feng and Shi Dangdang that they would go if they wanted to, and if they didn't want to go, they would make a few more friends.

At first, when Lao Feng knew that Zhen Nie was an orc, he did have plans to quit, but when he heard that Zhen Nie and Zhou Chang were not in a group, and he was the only orc in this team. Thinking that as long as he took this trip, whether he could find the treasure or not, he would enjoy wealth for the rest of his life, so he hesitated for a while, but he still agreed to come down.

As for Shi Dang, what he did was a desperate act of hunting demons and killing demons, as long as he could afford the price, he didn't care.

After the matter was settled, Lao Feng asked the men to prepare a table of banquets, and after eating, the moon was already hanging in the sky. After Lao Feng arranged for Zhou Chang and a few people to rest, he also went back to rest.

As soon as the morning dawned, ten porters led ten donkeys to the door of the antique shop, dragging large and small cloth bags full of dry food, herbs and some utensils.

At this time, Zhou Chang and the others also happened to have breakfast and got ready to pack. Lao Feng explained some details of the business to the shop guys, and then beckoned everyone to go on the road.

On the way, Zheni asked Lao Feng why the demon hunter who came yesterday was not there. Lao Feng said that he was waiting for them at the city gate.

When they reached the gate of the city, they saw Shi Kangdang, still wearing a turf hat and a half-worn black linen robe, carrying a crossbow bow behind him, carrying a quiver around his waist on his left side, and a black iron rod tied around his waist on his right.

There were two people standing behind Shi Gandang, who were not much different from his dress, and they were also demon hunters of the Celestial Sect.

These two demon hunters are tall and short, the taller one is called Ah Guang, and the shorter one is called Ah Mu, and they are also the helpers invited by Lao Feng yesterday.

Amu didn't like to talk much, he just nodded to everyone, which was regarded as a greeting. Ah Guang, on the other hand, is more enthusiastic and humorous, constantly boasting to everyone about his adventures, and once a princess wrote him a love letter, but he refused.

Shi Dangdang saw that the more Ah Guang spoke, the more outrageous it became, and he couldn't help but slap him the back of the head to stop his nonsense.

After getting to know each other, the group began to discuss the route of travel.

The place where Zhou Chang and them are now is located in the southeast of the Yanxia Empire, and the 100,000 Barren Mountains are located in the endless mountain and forest area between the Inca Empire and the Sea of Forests, and it will be at least a month and a half away from their current position.

Lao Feng counted the number of people, Zhen Nie and Zhou Chang were six in total, three demon hunters, ten porters, and himself had a total of twenty people. These people have a lot of expenses for food, lodging, and supplies along the way, and this expense is naturally counted on Zhen Nie's head.

However, Zhou Chang felt that Lao Feng should not hire porters so early, these porters leading these donkeys would only slow down the process, and he told Tamar his idea.

Tamar smiled at Zhou Chang and snorted at Lao Feng, "Lao Feng is a businessman, and I don't know how much money I have to pay for hiring this group of porters." Besides, if you hire someone from your hometown, isn't it also a favor!"

Zhou Chang nodded thoughtfully, his father, who was only a fat man before, would calculate business, but he didn't expect this old Feng to take his calculations to the extreme.

Half a month later, Zhou Chang and his party of 20 people came to Florence, the hometown of Tamar, who built a new grave next to the graves of his parents and buried the head of his brother Tasharu.

Tamar knelt in front of his parents and vowed to kill Heni Benfi to avenge Tasharu.

After a night in the city of Florence, the grief-stricken Tamar and the others set out for the 100,000 barren mountains in the far south.
