Chapter Forty-Eight: Encountering the Enemy

In the early morning of the next day, Da Zhuang woke up and saw Yu Hai curled up under a tree alone, looking left and right from time to time. Xindao This Yu Hai's character is okay, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Da Zhuang turned Zhu Pingfan, who was draped in the quilt beside him, in a direction, and saw Zhu Pingfan's body draped in the quilt subconsciously move a few times and got to Chen Yuhan's side. Then go back to sleep.

And Yuhan also wore a cloak body because of the cold weather, and subconsciously got into Zhu Pingfan's quilt.

Da Zhuang looked at Ping Fan and Yu Han and shook his head. Then he stood up and walked to Yu Hai's side and said, "Yu Hai hurry up and go to sleep, I'll continue the vigil and recover my energy quickly." After speaking, Yu Hai nodded pitifully, and then found a comfortable place to lie down and quickly make up for sleep and regain energy. Da Zhuang sat cross-legged on Yu Hai's original seat, monitoring the movements around him.

An hour or two later, the cloudy Soul Mountains were illuminated by the sun. Faintly restored to normal visual range. But the sky was still gray. Chen Yuhan slowly opened his eyes and found himself in Zhu Pingfan's quilt. A shrill cry woke everyone up. Chen Yuhan jumped out of the quilt, and then kicked Zhu Pingfan in a daze. directly kicked Zhu Pingfan more than a meter away.

Zhu Pingfan then let out a pig-like cry: "Oh, it hurts the master, who is plotting against the master." After speaking, he stood up with the quilt and looked at Chen Yuhan and said, "Crazy woman, are you sick, why did you plot against the master in the morning." ”

Chen Yuhan said with a dark face: "Think for yourself." After speaking, he began to pack his luggage and ignored Zhu Pingfan.

Da Zhuang stood up calmly and began to pack his luggage, and because of Chen Yuhan's scream, Yu Hai also woke up. After watching for a while, I didn't know what was going on, and I started to pack my luggage. Only Zhu Pingfan was dumbfounded thinking about what he had done and why the crazy woman would cut herself. I don't understand, Zhu Pingfan didn't bother to think about it, and he and Da Zhuang packed up their things and prepared to go.

With a goal in mind, the group followed the map and rushed to the edge of the inner circle of the nearest mountain range.

Three days later, Zhu Pingfan and his party came to a place only a dozen miles away from the edge of the inner circle. The sky is almost completely obscured by clouds. Visibility was already very low, and you could only see a dozen meters ahead. And a small amount of fog also appeared. The field of vision ahead was already hazy. But the trees are much denser. The ground is also much flatter. Thankfully, I didn't meet any other monks along the way.

Zhu Pingfan stopped everyone and said, "Let's rest in place, and then carefully find a place to hide." With that, the group sat down, took out water and food, and began to replenish their exerted physical strength.

Da Zhuang looked around and said, "Ordinary, this place makes me feel particularly dangerous." If someone is ambushed in such a place. We're done. ”

Zhu Pingfan thought for a while, took out the map and spread it out, then put it in front of a few people and said, "Da Zhuang, do you think that if someone is ambushed." So where is the most likely place? ”

Yu Hai looked at the map and said, "If it were, I would definitely lay in ambush less than five miles from the edge." ”

Da Zhuang: "I think I'll lay an ambush on the edge of the edge, and then wander around the edge, looking for spirit grass and probing nearby enemies by the way." ”

Zhu Pingfan nodded and said, "Da Zhuang is right, if it were me, I would do the same." But if we approach the edge rashly, we will definitely be ambushed, because behind the ambush is in the mountains, and there will be no one at all. And those who want to ambush them will surely get as close to the edge of the mountains as possible. One is that there are more spirit grasses, and the other is that it will definitely be easier to spot opponents earlier than those who come late. But there is also the possibility that there is no ambush on the edge. ”

Yu Hai scratched his head and said, "Ordinary, then what should we do now." ”

Zhu Pingfan pondered for a long time and said: "We don't know how far away we are from the edge now, so we can only find a place where the mountains and rocks are lined and walk along the rocks." There are more mountains and rocks, and there are naturally fewer spiritual grasses, and the chance of treasure hunters appearing in a place full of stones is very small. It's not easy to be spotted. Then the master hides, and you are responsible for going out to find grass. ”

After that, a few people rested for a while, then found a direction with more rocks and cautiously rushed over. Half a day later, the group found a place with a lot of rocks, and Zhu Pingfan asked Da Zhuang to open a cave with an entrance of less than half a meter and a square of ten meters in a place where the rocks were heavy. Da Zhuang held the Xuantie heavy knife and Yu Hai, who was holding the Xuantie sword, immediately started working. A few hours later, the cave was dug by the two Da Zhuang. Zhu Pingfan carried the big burden brought by Da Zhuang and got into the cave.

Then he poked his head out of the cave and looked at Chen Yuhan and said, "Yuhan, come in." Help the master tidy up his things. ”

Then he said to Da Zhuang and Yu Hai: "The two of you continue to explore the edge area to find the spirit grass. Yuhan is responsible for protecting the safety of the master. I decided it happily. ”

After that, Zhu Pingfan and Chen Yuhan entered the cave and ignored Dazhuang and Yu Hai.

Da Zhuang looked at Yu Haidao: "Let's go, let's go find the spirit grass." ”

Yu Hai looked at the cave and said, "It's just the two of us, so what are they doing." ”

Da Zhuang thought for a while and said, "You should be responsible for eating, resting, and sleeping." Why do you ask so much. Hurry up and let's go find the grass. ”

Da Zhuang and Yu Hai left the grotto and explored all the way to the edge.

And Zhu Pingfan and Chen Yuhan sorted out the things they brought in the cave.

Chen Yuhan looked at the things that were knocked to the ground by Zhu Pingfan and asked, "Why are you bringing so many useless things?" ”

"What are useless things, you know what, these are all things that the master wants to use. Hurry up and come over to help the master tidy up, don't ask so many useless questions. ”

And Chen Yuhan was too lazy to talk nonsense, and began to help Zhu Pingfan sort things out.

On the other side, Da Zhuang and Yu Hai slowly explored towards the edge for nearly an hour. Da Zhuang heard a sound in the distance, so he stopped and asked Yu Hai to hide and wait for him. Da Zhuang cautiously walked forward.

As the sound got closer and closer, Da Zhuang vaguely saw three monks by a pond. Da Zhuang took out the dark iron knife and slowly approached the edge of the pond lightly, stopping behind a tree more than ten meters away from the edge of the pond. Observing the three monks.

A man in a black tightsuit by the pond said, "We have been looking here for more than ten days, and we have only found two spirit grasses. The food is almost consumed. Isn't it time to go back? ”

The other two, a man wearing the same clothes as a black tights, said, "Big brother, we're looking for it." There are three of us, and it's not easy to divide the two herbs. ”

Another old man in a white robe said, "Zhang Yang is right, Zhang Song is looking for us." For food problems, we can find some wild fruits or save some to eat, and we should be able to last for three or five days. ”

Zhang Yang and Zhang Song are two brothers, and the old man in white is the team member who is recruited by the two of them in the city and hunts for treasures together. The old man's name was Yang Feng, and he was about sixty years old, but he was a martial cultivator of the ninth layer of the Body Refining Realm, so his body looked very strong.

Zhang Yang and Zhang Song are in their early thirties, and both of them are spiritual cultivators at the seventh level of the Qi Realm. The three of them had been looking for spirit grass on the edge of the mountain range for half a month. But because there are monks looking for spiritual grass all year round, they look for spiritual grass at the edge of the mountain range. The ones that were easy to find have almost been collected. So it's good that the three of them can find two. The three of them met other monks and killed them, but they did not find the spirit grass from the corpses. It can be seen that over time, although the mountain range is large, the peripheral spirit grass is really scarce.

Da Zhuang observed the three of them not far away, and at the same time he was thinking about whether to leave quietly or find a way to kill the three and snatch the three people's spirit grass. And the strength of the three of them is stronger than themselves. It's pitiful to fight hard with each other head-on, and the odds of winning are low. Da Zhuang vaguely heard that several people were still looking for a few days in this area, so Da Zhuang quietly left here. Returned to the place where Yu Hai was hiding. The two of them left quickly, all the way to a remote and secluded place a few miles away from the pond.

Da Zhuang told Yu Hai about the situation, and Yu Hai shook his head after hearing it and said, "Da Zhuang, no." They are so strong, you and I can't beat them at all. ”

Da Zhuang thought for a while and said, "Go back first, and ask Ping Fan what he can do." With that, the two of them hurried all the way to the cave.

A few hours later, the two returned to the cave, and it was already late at night.

Zhu Pingfan began to sleep after eating enough in the cave, while Chen Yuhan was in charge of keeping vigil. Chen Yuhan saw the two of them coming back and asked, "How are you looking for grass?" ”

Da Zhuang briefly explained the situation to Chen Yuhan, then looked at Chen Yuhan, and then looked at the ordinary. Chen Yuhan walked directly to Zhu Pingfan's side. directly grabbed Zhu Pingfan's quilt and said, "Get up and work." ”

Zhu Pingfan did it in a daze, looked at Chen Yuhan and then looked at Da Zhuang and Yu Hai. Then he yawned and said, "Found the grass, so fast." Not bad, not bad. Master knows that you are powerful. ”
