Chapter 16: Containment, Betrayal?

The Desolate Beast Forest, known as the most dangerous realm in the Wind Country, is not one of them, but it is also the place where the Wind Country rises, there are countless elixirs, demon beasts, and almost every year the empire will train here, so there is no compatibility between humans and demon beasts.

Just like now, Zhang Heng has only followed the Tianhuo Mercenary Group into less than a day, and he has already encountered demon beasts several times, the most dangerous of which is a second-level early stage demon beast, if it weren't for the strength of the mercenary group's leader Lao Dong, after resisting, everyone might die here, and this is only the periphery, Zhang Heng only understood at this time how lucky he and Cao Dade were to be able to cross the Desolate Beast Forest.

"Let's rest here tonight," everyone who had just finished a battle packed up their spoils, and Lao Dong arranged.

After the words fell, except for the taciturn Lin Tian, everyone else took out packets of medicine and scattered them around.

"Brother Dong, what is this?" Zhang Heng was puzzled, not knowing why he spilled these powders.

Lao Dong smiled and said, "These are the feces of some powerful demon beasts, dried and ground into powder, and scattered around the camp to prevent us from being attacked by some demon beasts at night,"

"I see, there are still these exquisitenesses. Zhang Heng sighed, in fact, at the end of the day, he and Cao Dadri were only assisting from the side when they were fighting, doing some interception work, and fighting head-on, including Feng Lintian, Cao Dade, and himself, did not participate much, unless there were some slightly weaker demon beasts, Zhang Heng would go to practice.

"Little brother, where are you from?" Under the bonfire, the cheerful Wang Dazhui came to Zhang Heng's side and said.

Zhang Heng also wanted to learn more about the law of the jungle with them, so he welcomed the arrival of Wang Dazhu, so he said, "We are the people of the Fire City, because the Celestial God Academy of the Empire is almost a dream place for all cultivators, so we came to Kyoto, and we were lucky to be lucky, so we luckily entered it." ”

Wang Dazhui nodded, but the status of the Heavenly God Academy in the Wind Country is that as long as you are a monk, there is nothing you don't know, "The Heavenly God Academy is good anywhere, but it is too difficult to graduate, and some of the people who entered the academy decades ago have not yet graduated." Wang Dazhui said with emotion.

Zhang Heng also agrees with this, "Only by challenging a successful mentor can you graduate, which is indeed difficult to graduate." ”

Situ Yun, who was silently eating barbecue on the side, spoke, his voice was crisp, but there was a sense of exhaustion. "Not necessarily, if you have made a great contribution to the empire, you can also graduate, or you can also graduate by paying a lump sum of one million gold coins. It's just that the difficulty of these two methods and the first method is about the same, which is why there are many people in the Heavenly God Academy who have not graduated from the academy for dozens of years. ”

"Actually, this is the meaning of the royal family, first, in the past few years, the tuition fees were waived, and you used the resources provided by the royal family to cultivate, and now the tutor of the academy is honest, the strength is not particularly strong, and the people who are a little stronger will directly leave the academy to be loyal to the royal family, otherwise where do you think so many resources of the wind country go every year. At this time, Feng Lintian, who was lying on the grass on the side, said, it is hard to imagine that the prince of the Wind Country will lie on the ground without any image, and then unscrupulously evaluate the royal family, even the well-informed Lao Dong was surprised, not to mention Zhang Heng, who had just learned that Feng Lintian was the prince, and his mouth was open enough to stuff an egg.

In his impression, the princes of the empire would undoubtedly defend the majesty of the empire, instead of saying such rebellious words with a group of mercenaries here.

Lin Tian was silent from beginning to end, even when Feng Lin Tian said this, he only raised his eyes slightly, and did not pay any attention to it, and Wang Dazhui, Situ Yun, and Jin Zhennan all turned their heads as if they didn't hear it, only Zhang Heng almost ran up to Feng Lintian to discuss if it wasn't for Lao Dong's desperate wink, and our Dade brother, still buried his head under the golden boar roasted, it is hard to imagine how such a small body could eat so much, and half of the wild boar will be gone in a while.

"I'm not so scary, the competition in the royal family is more dangerous than you think, and I just want to make a few more friends, otherwise my eldest brother may not leave me any way to live in the future. Feng Lintian was not angry at all when everyone didn't answer his words, but he just talked about it by himself.

Zhang Heng suddenly felt that Feng Lintian was a little pitiful, born in the emperor's family, he couldn't help himself, he was worried about his situation all the time, and he didn't know when he wouldn't see the sun the next day.

"Your Highness, you better stop talking. Lao Dong couldn't help it, he was afraid that after listening to it, he and the others would not be able to see the sun the next day, and Feng Lintian's short words were even more terrifying than him being besieged by a group of demon beasts.

"Yes, Your Highness, don't say it, we really don't dare to listen. "Even people as big as Wang Dazhui came out and began to dissuade them. He hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet, and if he loses his head because of a few complaints from His Royal Highness, wouldn't it be too wronged.

Only Zhang Heng's eyes were wandering, he didn't know where to think about anything, compared to what happened to Feng Lintian, he felt that he didn't know who his parents were since he was a child, and he was not so miserable, he had the love of those lovely uncles and aunts in the village, and he grew up eating hundreds of family meals, but none of the hundred families looked down on him, but unfortunately, his eyes darkened when he thought of this.

Looking at the expressions of everyone who were dissuaded because they were afraid, Feng Lintian also laughed and said, "Okay." Don't talk about it, eat meat, drink wine," he said, and took out a jar of wine from his storage ring.

"This jar of wine is a good wine, His Royal Highness has been cherishing it for several years and is reluctant to drink it, and today he will rest when he is drunk. As he spoke, he slapped open the mud seal with one palm and poured it for everyone.

Zhang Heng also took a bowl of wine and drank it all, and the taste of the burning heart made her little face red.

"Little brother is drinking a bar for the first time?" Lao Dong also laughed when he saw this.

Zhang Heng nodded, this was indeed his first time drinking.

"It's okay, drink a little more and get used to it, you see that Xiao Yunyun was not used to teaming up with us before, but now you see that the amount of alcohol is about the same as that of the eldest brother. Wang Dazhui leaned over and said with a wink.

Zhang Heng followed Wang Dazhu's line of sight, only to see Situ Yun drink all the spirits, his face did not change in the slightest, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and said with a sentence that the old gentleman taught him to praise the woman's boldness: "Miss Situ is really a heroine among women." ”

After Situ Yun heard this, his face, which was not red after drinking spirits, turned a rare red, and said, "Go, who did the little kid learn from?" ”

Zhang Heng scratched his head, not knowing if there was anything wrong with what he said just now, and his confused appearance made everyone laugh.

In the desolate beast forest shrouded in darkness, the roars of beasts came and went, and under the darkness of the night, figures continued to shuttle through the forest, galloping towards the location of Zhang Heng and the others, and Zhang Heng and the others did not know at all, they just sat around the bonfire, drank heartily, and laughed and talked constantly.

After drinking for more than half a day, Zhang Heng was already vague and staggering, while Feng Lintian was completely drunk, Situ Yun was also drunk and hazy, and the most sober person on the field was Cao Dade.

In the middle of the night, the bonfire had been extinguished, and everyone had fallen asleep, and in the dark night, Lin Tian, who had already been asleep, opened his eyes, quietly got up and walked into the distance.

Cao Dade slowly sat up, glanced contemptuously in the direction of Lin Tian's departure, walked to Zhang Heng who was speaking, and slapped his little face, only to hear a snap, Zhang Heng woke up directly in pain, covered his face and looked at Cao Dade in front of him by the moonlight and asked, "Why are you beating me?"

"I see that you have a leech on your face, help you shoot it to death," Cao Dade said expressionlessly.

Zhang Heng always felt wrong, why was this sentence so familiar.

"Alright, get up and go, or you won't be able to leave later." Cao Dade said.

Hearing Cao Dade's words, Zhang Heng's drowsy head suddenly sobered up, and he hurriedly got up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Don't ask so much, hurry up the tree, hurry. ”

Looking at the lights lit up in the distance, Cao Dade urged, and the words fell to the waist of the tree.

Zhang Heng's scalp was numb, and judging from the shadowy figure, at least hundreds of people, if they were surrounded, it was estimated that there would be no way to live, so he hurriedly followed Cao Dade up the tree, not daring to delay the slightest.

As soon as they reached the top of the tree, after being covered by the leaves, those people surrounded Lao Dong and the others.

After the sudden change, Lao Dong had also woken up, and Feng Lintian also opened his misty eyes and scanned the surroundings, and slowly sat up.

"What about Lin Tian, where did Lin Tian go?" Lao Dong and the others were back to back, vaguely protecting Feng Lin Tian behind him.

"Brother Zhang Heng is also gone. Wang Dazhui also said, his tone was full of solemnity, even with a hint of despair, there are so many people, there is not much hope for a few of them to kill out.

"Big brother, what should we do now? We are surrounded, and His Highness is still here. The one-armed man Jin Zhennan said, Situ Yun was silent and bit his thin lip.

Wang Dazhui said in despair, "Big brother, it's over, we have been sold, horse, Zhang Heng, this kid looks at how old he is, why is he so vicious." ”

Lao Dong frowned, "What nonsense, Brother Zhang won't do this, I have always been very accurate in my eyes when looking at people." ”

"Yes, I'm very suspicious of your eyes, big brother. As soon as Lao Dong's words fell, the circle surrounding them opened an opening, and three people walked in, led by a man in a guard costume. It was a man behind the man who spoke.

"Lin Tian?"

"Brother Tian. ”

"Is that you?"

Several different voices sounded, and Zhang Heng almost exclaimed, because that person was Lin Tian, the deputy head of the Tianhuo Mercenary Group, who was silent all the way and said very little, but Zhang Heng, including Lao Dong, did not expect that Hui was betrayed by his once most trusted partner.

"Why?" asked Lao Dong bitterly.

Lin Tian sneered and said, "Why? Why do you say? I have followed you for five years, and I have not gained anything in five years, and I am worried about you every day, how many times have I saved you, how many times have I saved them, and the eldest prince has recruited us and given us a million offerings every year, one million." Saying this, Lin Tian's eyes were red, and his voice was hysterical.

Zhang Heng gasped, one million gold coins, he had been busy for a month before he earned ten thousand gold coins from the Shang Pavilion.

"Just because I rejected the invitation of the eldest prince, you are going to betray us, don't you know who the eldest prince is?" Lao Dong said in a deep voice, his tone full of disappointment and grief. He couldn't believe that his former brotherhood had betrayed him.

"I just want to live a good life, I don't want to live in fear and with my head tied to my belt. Lin Tian shook his head and said softly, the words fell, and even Lao Dong was silent.
