Chapter 52: Encounter
Since the development of Xiuzhen, the cultivation of the sect seems to be prosperous in this heyday, but it is not as glamorous as it seems.
Without the edge of the instrument, it has long been determined as the end of the cultivation path, and to this day, the situation of Li Xiu is really embarrassing, in addition to enlisting in the army, there are only some guards and mercenaries and other guards who guard the house.
The southern country is quite reserved, but the Qingcang country is not so restrained. Mercenaries are everywhere, and how Mu Feng temporarily joins the team at this moment abounds.
In such an environment, it is conceivable that the day of this weak cultivation monk can be imagined.
On the wilderness trail to the north, He Mufeng looked at the night sky, and the rabbit leg in his hand was really tasteless.
This is the third day that He Mufeng has joined the team of the big man named Zhang Zhao, and it is only a matter of the past few days that he has set off, and he can't see any way out for the time being.
But judging from the cultivation of the guards of the several employers who accompanied him along the way, his status must not be low. Although the employer seems to be keeping a low profile, the carriage is not a first-class cargo.
"There are so many roads from south to north, and there are several wide roads to Canglan City, but this master chose the wildest one, I really can't help the little brother. ”
With a few rustling footsteps, the tall strong man Zhang Zhao appeared in front of He Mufeng with a big knife and chatted with him cordially and kindly.
Some He Mufeng, who was stunned when he looked at the sky, also reacted, and quickly got up and nodded, this call has almost been taught in the past few days, after all, his identity as a sword cultivator is indeed a bit eye-catching in this guard pile, and most of that call also believed He Mufeng's previous statement.
Zhang Zhao, who came to the front, saw that He Mufeng was about to get up, so he also patted his shoulder and motioned for He Mufeng to sit down, and he also sat on the ground.
His eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the already cold leg meat in He Mufeng's hand, and said with a kind eyebrow: "Why is this meat unappetizing, little brother, or I'll go and give you another one." ”
When Zhang Zhao said this, He Mufeng on the side was also a little embarrassed, he was sitting here alone because he really had something in his heart, and he forgot to eat when he thought about it, and he was a little embarrassed to be reminded like this.
After all, this meat can be regarded as a good food for these guards to eat, no matter how picky they are, they won't even be able to eat the meat, so they hurriedly took two bites: "I'm used to eating, I'm used to eating, but I just have some worries." ”
Seeing that He Mufeng took two bites, he didn't ask much about his thoughts, so he talked about some interesting things in the place; I heard my brother say a few days ago that he came from the historic forest, but I don't know if I heard about the strange things that have been spreading recently?"
"Hmm, Historic Forest?" He Mufeng didn't know, it had been half a month since he left the demon clan's territory, but he had heard about it.
A few days on the road, he heard that several monsters had inexplicably escaped from the huge forest, wearing the face of a sphin, which had brought a lot of trouble to ordinary people in the surrounding places, but fortunately, the Martial God Tower and Lingjian Mountain came forward to kill these beasts.
Listening to that description, He Mufeng instantly knew the names of those monsters - Yonghe.
But he didn't know whether he opened a new Metaverse Gate or escaped from the last gate, after all, the last time the four sects explored the secrets were relatively secretive, and not many people knew about it, but the corpses at the door showed that someone had been there in advance.
This is also what He Mufeng is thinking, he is one of the few people who knows the specific situation in this Metaverse Gate, the Yonghe beasts are in groups, at least no less than 100,000, each of them has the strength of Jindan, if they all come out, it must be a catastrophe.
Not to mention that there is a big guy, when he first heard about it, He Mufeng was also worried about the demon tribe in the depths of the forest. This is going to escape, and the first to bear the brunt must be the demon clan who are outside the world.
But after thinking about it, this is not so pessimistic, he has been to the demon clan twice, on the bright side, he can't see through the strength of the demon king, I heard that there are still some hidden demons, and there is no need to worry about others in this way.
But He Mufeng was also sure if Zhang Zhao was talking about these things, so he shook his head.
Zhang Zhao didn't seem to care, but said to himself: "Well, yes, the historic forest has been a little uneven these days. ”
"What's not peaceful, didn't the masters of Spirit Sword Mountain destroy those beasts. ”
"Hehe, it's not that simple. Zhang Zhao smiled mysteriously, "It is said that the army has been transferred to guard it, and the movement is not small." ”
Transfer?
He Mufeng was puzzled, I am afraid that there were only a few of them he heard, and they had already been killed, where did this alarm the army?
"Recently, the border guards have used the excuse that they are conducting exercises in the west, but in fact they are going to search the forest of monuments, and some friends in our army have seen these things with their own eyes. ”
It seems that this call looks at the five big and three coarse, it turns out that he is also a broken mouth, this kind of thing of chasing after the wind and shadows, and it is also a matter of the purpose of the deployment of the Qingcang army, he also wants to talk to He Mufeng.
Although He Mufeng didn't believe much in what he said, now as long as he had something to do with the things in this Metaverse, he was quite interested.
Because there are really too many things in it that He Mufeng can't understand, not only the mysterious person, those monsters, but the appearance of the Metaverse itself is an unsolved mystery.
Although He Mufeng somewhat guessed that Pei Wen might probably know something and didn't tell him, but until now, he didn't ask any more, even if he asked, it would be to add trouble to himself, just entering the Metaverse once made him have so many questions in his mind.
With his relationship with Pei Wen, who is also a teacher and friend, Pei Wen doesn't say that it is more for his good, and he knows that it is mostly more difficult to understand. When the time comes, Pei Wen will naturally tell himself.
"Little Brother He, where do you think those monsters came from? Seeing that He Mufeng was a little stunned, Zhang Zhao continued to ask.
Looking at this big man who wanted to be close to himself, He Mufeng really didn't have any bad looks for others, but just shook his head lightly: "I don't know about these, this historic forest is so big, who knows?"
"Makes sense..."
Dahan smiled awkwardly and rubbed his hands, but before he finished speaking, he was stopped by He Mufeng, who put his index finger between his mouth and nose on the side.
At this time, he was asked to silence him.
I saw He Mufeng looking around vigilantly, and even more at the dark place in the distance behind him, the mountain road was full of dirt bags on the left and right, strange rocks, two mountain walls were in a high place, and the road was in a low lying.
Their horse teams are resting on the side of this road, which is naturally a low-lying place, with the moonlight overhead, and the mountain is in the shade, and the night is too dark to see clearly. But this is not enough to be limited to practice.
At this moment, He Mufeng clearly noticed that there was a lot of breath in vain among the woods on the shady hillside.
Counting them one by one, there are no less than thirty people, and these breaths are at least some monks in the middle of Jindan. From his point of view, it is indeed not enough to see it, with his current realm, it is useless to come to any amount of Jindan.
Most of the guards accompanying them are also in Jindan, but the number is not at the same level at all.
More than a dozen people, how to resist these thirty people?
Seeing He Mufeng's action, Zhang Zhao was also stunned for a moment, but he also immediately noticed the abnormality. Hurriedly and He Mufeng hurried to the horse team that was repairing and waiting.
And the people in the horse team are also some monks with strong perception, and they are all vigilant, and they are all alert, and they are all reminded of the people who have not yet reacted.
"Alert!"
With a shout, the dozen or so members of the team led by Zhang Zhao also surrounded the employer's carriage in the middle, drew their weapons, and guarded carefully.
And the four guards were even more outrageous, turning over directly to the carriage, and their fingers flew on the carriage, which pinched all kinds of hand-to-hand duels.
Good guy, He Mufeng can see clearly, this employer really has something, and he will actually install a magic circle on the car to protect it!
"Has anyone noticed how many people and horses?" The four guards over there were sharp, and the formation was looming, but Zhang Zhao was a little too late to take care of it, and asked a few of his subordinates with strong perception.
"There are more than two dozen people...."
"The perception is not very clear, there should be more than twenty, all of them appeared suddenly. ”
A girl in a fleece coat heard her captain's question and spoke, although she wanted to prove herself, but her realm was really limited, and being able to perceive so much was already her limit.
This girl is the only woman in Zhang Zhao's team, although He Mufeng has not been in for a long time, but if you want to say that you know, except for Zhang Zhao, the captain, there is only this girl named Shuoyue.
It's not that I like her round and powerful thin legs and the willow waist hidden in the fleece coat, but this girl is a little unkind to see him. Other people are kind and friendly to him, a little sword cultivator, but this new moon is always cold.
Looking at him, his eyes were also disgusted, if it weren't for Zhang Zhao's explanation, He Mufeng would have thought if he had offended this woman sometimes.
In fact, this Shuoyue spiritual root is not low, and it also has a fate, but it is a poor family background, and it is not favored by the sect every time, so I don't treat this instrument cultivation vein very well.
To put it bluntly, it is jealous when you see that others have meat to eat but you can't eat it.
As soon as she finished speaking, she also glanced at He Mufeng who was standing in the middle defiantly, and her eyes were full of contempt, and the reason why He Mufeng was standing in the middle was because he was really well hidden.
In the eyes of others, he is a little monk of the twelfth layer of qi refining, if it weren't for a sword cultivator, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been recruited into the team by Zhang Zhao. If this is placed on the outermost side, he will be the first to die when the enemy rushes, so let him stand in the middle, these mercenaries are actually quite righteous.
"Thirty-eight in all. Looking at such a group of righteous people, He Mufeng always has something to reciprocate.
Hearing him say this, Zhang Zhao's face changed, and he turned his head and asked with a complicated look: "So many?"
He Mufeng nodded, a little helpless. This is indeed what he perceives, and if there is anything he can't perceive, then everyone doesn't have to struggle.
"Don't listen to his nonsense! ”
Here Zhang called everyone to believe it, but the Shuoyue girl who couldn't get used to He Mufeng because of jealousy didn't believe it.
Since Shuoyue had no hope of entering the sect and had lost his hand in instrument cultivation, the only thing he is proud of now is his superior perception ability, after all, the spiritual root of the realm is not low, and it is not like other power cultivation that only emphasizes the body, not the divine sense.
She had worked the cultivation of perception, but now a person with a lower realm than her suddenly appeared who perceived it more clearly than her, and this person was still a sword cultivator, and she was a hundred reluctant.
"It's no good for me to lie to you, it's not just a fluster, now think about how to deal with it.... Because now there's one more. He Mufeng, who had no choice but to explain, sensed another one during his speech.
Even he couldn't figure out this breath, so he deliberately turned his head to look at the other side.
He Mufeng is still very sure of his perception ability, and he doesn't know if his spiritual sense has increased after helping Du Xiaoxiao resist a thunderstorm before. The spiritual consciousness that this perception needs to cultivate is more powerful than other people, and he didn't deliberately cultivate it in the first place.
"I don't know which mountain man is here, I'm Zhang Zhao, why not a friend.... it!"
There was nothing to be done about this, but Zhang Zhao, who was about to negotiate with face, suddenly scolded.
I could only hear a lot of footsteps in front of me, which was already planning to stop talking and go straight to war.
Zhang Zhao's side, seeing this menacing, did not intend to sit still, and also drew his weapons and prepared to fight. Weapons are commonplace, but they're better than nothing.
As soon as the posture was set up here, many people rushed out of the forest on the hillside in front of them, and there were more than 30 of them at a glance. I can't help but don't believe He Mufeng's words.
Zhang Zhao also quietly glanced at He Mufeng beside him with deep meaning.
Seeing that there were many people, the four guards on the roof of the car also spoke: "Everyone, hold on, I'll call someone!"
As he spoke, a beam of blue light burst out from the crushed jade in the hand of a guard, shooting straight into the sky.
After doing all this, the four did not move again, but tried to maintain the carriage up to the circle, and until now, the owner of the carriage did not even say a word.
He Mufeng didn't have the heart to think about why this employer was still so calm, the two parties had already collided together.
It was also the first time he saw the melee between the forces and cultivators, the swords and swords, the aura flew wildly, and the fists were used together with the weapons in his hands.
From time to time, some charms appeared, but the two groups of people were really unequal in number, and it was not long after they collided together, and Zhang Zhao's side was already a little overwhelmed.
At this moment, one has already fallen, and Zhang Zhao, as the strongest combat force here, in this case, has resisted five Jindan stage monks alone.
At this moment, the wind is gradually falling.
And He Mufeng was still on the spot at this time, and he didn't mean to do it.
"Why don't you help? You're so unkind. Pei Wen's voice sounded in his heart.
Pei Wen's words did not change He Mufeng's situation, he was really embarrassed at this moment.
There is no other reason, he doesn't know any of the people on the field at this time, and none of the thieves who sneak up on him are masked!
The two gangs of people fought together, which made He Mufeng chaotic in an instant, and he was messy in the wind alone.
He never thought that it was such an important thing to know his teammates, looking at the chaotic field, he moved and moved, He Mufeng knew that he couldn't hide his strength anymore, but who to fight was a bit of a big head.
"There is!" Overjoyed words, He Mufeng finally found a breakthrough.
He didn't help Zhang Zhao at the first time, because after all, he was the strongest among this bunch of people, and he should be helping his subordinates who were in deep danger.
The long sword in his hand was unsheathed, with a hint of blue light, and he came to one person in an instant.
Doo, doo!
Two sounds, He Mufeng cultivated, where is the speed of the sword that these ordinary people in the Jindan stage can see. Besides, the weapons in his hands are all ordinary things, in the eyes of He Mufeng Tianhai Sword, it is a piece of tofu.
With one shot, the two of them were solved in a flash.
"You, what are you doing!!" a sharp female voice came from beside her.
It is the new moon that does not wait to see He Mufeng.
It turned out that He Mufeng looked around and finally found someone he knew, after all, a girl is still quite eye-catching in this crowd.
Although the two of them were solved with a raise of their hands, Na Shuoyue didn't seem to appreciate He Mufeng's affection, she only felt that He Mufeng was showing off his strength as a sword cultivator. I didn't want to kill the opponent she had just fought hard with the two swords in his hand at this time.
With this strength, it is no longer the twelfth layer of Qi refining that He Mufeng showed in the team.
He Mufeng naturally didn't think about what Shuoyue was thinking, but this move made the people around him look at it, and the people over there freed up four people to attack He Mufeng.
This is in He Mufeng's arms, he is worried that he can't find a target at the moment, this one who took the initiative to send it to the door, it is definitely not his own person, so there is no need to show mercy at all, the three-foot Qingfeng in his hand turned into a sword net, completely enveloping the four people.
In order to make a quick decision, there is no need for He Mufeng to hide, this sword stab, the cultivation has skyrocketed, and the aura is vigorous.
In an instant, the four people shrouded in the sword net were defeated and retreated.
He Mufeng, who showed his might so much, naturally attracted everyone's attention, those Zhang Zhao's subordinates were all imposing when they saw this, it turned out that this young boy could be so strong? !
And Shuoyue behind He Mufeng was even more speechless, covering her mouth with an expression of disbelief, she never thought that He Mufeng, who came in temporarily, was hiding his true cultivation.
At this time, He Mufeng's momentum enchantment had climbed, and the strength of the aura had reached the strength of the peak of Jindan. The four monks who were fighting against him didn't dare to touch it anymore, and just when they didn't know how to escape from the sword net, He Mufeng suddenly withdrew his moves.
Suddenly, his eyes were cold, and he turned his head towards Shuoyue, who was already out of danger and was looking at He Mufeng in a daze.
And Shuoyue also saw He Mufeng's murderous aura in his eyes at this moment, suddenly flying towards him, the long sword in his hand was brilliant, and the aura had covered his body.
Is he going to kill me? Is he angry that I didn't give him a good face and wants to kill me in this scuffle?!
Shuoyue, whose eyes were full of horror, was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, He Mufeng's sword was menacing, where could she hide with her strength.
Just as he was about to close his eyes and wait for death, he heard He Mufeng's words close to his ear, "Hide quickly." ”
Immediately after, a sword aura with an incomparable strength slashed directly across her pretty face, passing through her neck, and slicing through a thin streak of blood.
Then a palm held her thin waist and pulled it to the side, falling beside He Mufeng.
A loud bang exploded in front of her eyes, and only then did she see something like a mist appear where she had been standing.
Just now, a sword aura emitted by He Mufeng happened to collide with the mist.
Unconsciously, there was a crackling sound, and then the mist turned into two balls, and the blow did not break it up, but became more and more.
He Mufeng, who couldn't figure out what this was, didn't dare to test it more, and hurriedly floated backwards with Shuoyue beside him. I didn't forget to care about the woman next to me.
"Are you okay?" The situation was a little anxious just now, and he was also a little flustered, just hitting the strange mist against Shuoyue's neck, if he missed even half a point, Shuoyue at this time would probably be in a different place.
There were also some frightened Shuoyue shook their heads with pale faces, and they couldn't even speak.
But He Mufeng didn't ask too much, the reason why he was in a hurry was because of the aura that made him a little uneasy.
I'm afraid this is a Yuan Infant Stage monk who is not much different from his realm, in this realm of Jindan Li Cultivation Melee, if that person wants to make a move, whoever he touches, it will be a dead end.
"Even your hands have moved, and you still refuse to come out?"
