Chapter 55: Under the Troubled Times
The clouds and mist are shrouded, the mountains are stacked, a vast expanse, the mountain ape sings, echoes leisurely, startles a piece of flying birds, flying in the verdant forest.
In the vast wilderness, an overgrown path twists and turns between the cliffs, and two figures are slowly moving forward.
Knock knock~
A boulder rolled down from the mountain and fell into the abyss of the cliff, and the reverberating impact sound made Fang Wenlong's skin numb, and he clasped the cliff wall tightly, not daring to move.
After a long time, he turned around and squeezed out a smile: "Boss Ren, why don't we go down?"
Ren Qiu glanced at the trail, it was indeed very dangerous, and some places even slipped completely, and it could collapse if he stepped on it slightly.
Frowning, he glanced at Fang Wenlong coldly, his body was vertical, he grabbed the cliff wall, and his footsteps quickly clicked on the rocks, and soon fell back.
"Take me with you......"
Fang Wenlong wanted to cry, curled up, tried his best to stick his body against the rock wall, to avoid being hit by the sliding stone, and then carefully touched the stone and walked back.
He felt that he was so unlucky, how could he meet this evil star?
Thinking back to the life of almost one person and hundreds of people in Chunshan County, you can have whatever you want, there is no shortage of women, and it is not pleasant to eat meat and drink alcohol.
What now?
Cheng Tian was scared, for fear that Ren Qiuyi would be unhappy and pinch himself to death, and he would not dare to escape, let alone resist, but he had seen with his own eyes the scene of a terrifying beast being slapped to death with a palm.
"Ouch~"
As if the hand was electrocuted, he shook it suddenly, and a centipede five or six inches long slashed through the air and fell down the mountain, with two blood holes on the back of the hand, visible redness to the naked eye, and the severe pain almost made him paralyzed.
Forcibly enduring the pain, he no longer dared to think nonsense, walked back step by step, walked out of the cliff path and sat down, panting and choking his arm.
"Waste, do you cut it yourself, or do I cut it for you?"
Ren Qiu glanced at it, untied the Starfire Sword behind him, clicked, and inserted it into the crack in the stone.
Fang Wenlong shuddered, shook his head in horror, and got up with a roll: "Boss Ren, it's okay, it's okay, it's just a little poisonous insect sting, just get some herbs and compress it." ”
After speaking, he didn't dare to delay any longer, for fear that Ren Qiu would cut it down with a sword, staggered and searched among the bushes, and soon picked a bunch of herbs and came back.
Finely subdivide a few, put it in your mouth and chew, take out a small dagger, slash it on the back of your hand, snort coldly, let the blackened blood flow, rub your arm with your hand from time to time, and soon the blood began to turn red, and spit out the herbs in your mouth and apply it to the wound.
Ren Qiu watched from the sidelines, and sighed: "There are two hands......
"Chunshan County is surrounded by mountains, and there have always been many poisonous insects, so I know a little bit about these ......"
Fang Wenlong smiled and prayed in his heart, this centipede should not be too poisonous, just relying on these herbs to apply it, I am afraid it will not help.
"We've been walking for a long time, how far are we from Gyeongju Mansion?"
"It should not be far away, after the hill in front, you will come to a plain, there is a village there, when the time comes, find a boat, go down the big river, and soon you will reach the border of Gyeongju Prefecture. ”
"This broken map, look where we are now......"
Ren Qiu sat on a stone and took out two maps to compare, but unfortunately there was no reference at all, and he couldn't determine where he was.
Fang Wenlong got up, covered the back of his hands and looked at it, and only raised his head after a long while, shaking his head blankly.
"Waste ......"
Ren Qiu put away the map and hummed: "It's not too early, go check the dry firewood and come back, and spend the night here tonight." ”
......
Walking out of this mountain range, there is a basin in front of you, with low dirt slopes covered with shrubs, patches of green grass, interspersed with several small rivers, where some wild animals drink, and white birds fish in the river.
"Boss Ren, after this plain, there is a big river, and there are some mountain people living there...... You're on the wrong side, this side ......"
Fang Wenlong was carrying a bag of animal skins, following behind to show the way, he couldn't help but be unhappy, following Ren Qiu these days is not without any benefits, at least he has learned some methods of swallowing and exhaling.
Coupled with the fact that there is no shortage of alien beast meat, in a short period of time, he feels that his strength has increased greatly, and then he returns to Chunshan County, which is enough to be the king and hegemon.
Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, I obviously feel that the mountain is in front of me, but I always feel that I am still there when I walk, and it took me most of the day to reach a grand canyon.
The river pools here to form a small river that runs through the gorge and is flanked by towering cliffs and rocks falling from time to time.
After resting in the canyon for one night, I went out of the canyon in the afternoon of the next day, and the eyes suddenly opened up, the mountains were no longer so high, the sky was blue, and the clouds were drifting, which made people feel refreshed.
Going down the hillside, there is a dense forest, and the leaves of this season are somewhat yellow, and the wind rustles.
"No...... right"
Ren Qiu stopped, kicked away the rotten dead leaves, revealing a piece of white dry bones, picked it up with the Starfire Sword, and looked at the place where the bones were raised, thoughtfully.
Fang Wenlong squatted down and looked at it, and said disapprerovingly: "It's normal for a few mountain people to die in this mountain wilderness. ”
Ren Qiu glanced at him, smiled and didn't speak, and the two continued to walk forward.
After seven or eight miles, passing through a hillside, a village appeared in front of me, leaning on the foot of the mountain, scattered houses, giving people a sense of tranquility.
When I entered the village, there was no human habitation, and there was a dead silence, and when I came to a mud house, the door was diagonal, and the inside was very messy, cobwebs and dust, and the room was covered with black food, and the food on the table had rotted into a black mess.
"What about people?"
Fang Wenlong covered his nose, pushed open a few rooms, found no one, was a little puzzled, glanced at Ren Qiu and said, "Boss Ren, I'll look for ...... in the village."
Ren Qiu bowed slightly, and after he left, he took a piece of jade fat Buddha from his arms, which was emitting a slight fluorescence.
"Weird?"
Ren Qiu let out a sigh, glanced at the room, walked out, and saw Fang Wenlong running back in a panic.
"Boss Ren, it's a little strange, the whole village is gone......"
"Alright, don't look for it, let's rest outside the village tonight. ”
Ren Qiu knew in his heart, he looked at the village again, and walked outside the village, Fang Wenlong also looked back at the village, feeling cold, always feeling that someone was looking at him.
At night, Fang Wenlong found some dry firewood, lit a bonfire, roasted a few pieces of alien beast meat, and looked into the darkness from time to time, his buttocks moved, as if there were nails underneath, fidgeting.
Ren Qiu stuck the Starfire Sword on the ground, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out the few remaining secret pills, pinched the envious Fang Wenlong, and said with a smile: "With your current strength, this low-quality secret pill can blow you up." ”
Fang Wenlong licked his lips, retracted his gaze in a daze, suddenly felt cold, turned his head to look not far away, several figures walked out of the mountain slowly, and they couldn't see their faces clearly in the dark.
"Is it finally there?"
Ren Qiu stood up, carried the Xinghuo Sword, and strode forward, how dare Fang Wenlong stay here alone, holding the half-roasted alien beast meat, and following with the package.
