Chapter 222: The Path
The combat power is not proportional at all, and it is not a problem for Xiao Hei to kill the desolate beast of the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Realm now, and it is already a miracle that this iron-eating turtle can hold on for so long.
Yan Taichong pulled out the knife with a smile, walked to the corpse of the iron-eating turtle, cut off a piece of meat, and shouted, "It smells very fragrant, I'll take a bite." ”
Then he ate the cut and cooked meat, but as soon as he ate it, he spit it out and shouted: "A strange smell, I feel like I have eaten a mouthful of iron filings." ”
"Huh. Iron turtles eat iron all year round, and the iron content in the meat is extremely high, of course this meat is not delicious, you are hungry, and you have to eat everything. Luo Tian shook his head and said.
saw that there was something glowing in the corpse that Yan Taichong had dug up, and then he went in and dug it out, and he actually took out a black object with a glowing surface, and started it heavyly. It's quite hard.
"What is this?" asked Luo Tian.
"Good thing!" Yin Jiu next to him exclaimed, and quickly took it over and looked at it.
Yin Jiu observed for a while and then said with a smile: "This thing is equivalent to the high-grade refined iron after high-grade smelting, it should be formed in the stomach after the iron-eating turtle eats a lot of steel, the sword it eats is all forged and refined, plus the re-refining in its body, the few impurities have been expelled from the body, and the remaining more essential parts are condensed together, don't look at the piece that is only the size of a fist, but it is enough to create a low-level dagger with a human weapon." ”
"In other words. Is this something valuable?" asked the big worm in surprise.
"Of course, it's worth at least seven or eight thousand taels, and there is no one to sell it in the market outside, probably because the monster is not weak, and it is easy to have an accident when hunting. If they knew that the iron-eating turtle had such a good thing in its body, I guess there would be a lot of hunters coming here. ”
Just as everyone was talking, Yang Gao walked over and said, "Since you have already returned to your roots, there is no need to take the risk of entering the inside of Sword Mountain again, and you don't need to give me the remaining two thousand five hundred taels, let's go back." ”
In Yang Gao's view, Luo Tian and they are just ordinary sword hunters, who want to make a windfall, and now they have made a lot of money, and it is the right choice to go home.
But he didn't expect Luo Tian to shake his head and said: "Let's continue on the road, I see that the rain is a little lighter, and strive to get close to the entrance of the inside of Sword Mountain before dark." ”
Yang Gao was stunned, looked back at Luo Tian and asked in surprise: "Don't you want to die?
Luo Tian said with a smile: "Our purpose is not to bother you, according to the transaction, you continue to lead the way for us, and we still have to enter the interior of Sword Mountain." ”
Yang Gao finally understood at this moment that the three people he met this time were not simple.
It will rain for several days in Sword Mountain, and there are forests on the outskirts of Sword Mountain. But when it comes to the inside, it is a complete barren mountain sword mound.
Yang Gao said that he entered Jianshan before to make a fortune, but he didn't expect to accidentally find a trail that no one knows, this trail can go straight to the inside of Jianshan, but Yang Gao is not stupid. This is a way to get rich, and there are countless people in the rivers and lakes who are willing to give their lives in order to get rich.
So he went back to the market without telling anyone, only secretly finding a trusted friend of his. Let him find someone who is reliable and will not talk nonsense to do the business of the guide, the price of 5,000 taels is very expensive for many individual customers in the rivers and lakes, and most people think that Yang Gao and the innkeeper are deceptive, so the real transaction so far is only Luo Tian's order, but it has not been opened for three years. Open to eat for a lifetime.
After seeing Luo Tian's ability, Yang Gao also agreed to go on the road again, and from time to time he could hear screams from the distance covered by the fog along the way, obviously many people had been planted under the hands of monsters.
Because of the rain, it was always dark. The crowd walked for about three or four hours before they found a place to rest again.
"After walking for half a day or so, you can pass through the outside of Sword Mountain, and there is actually a big road leading from the outside of Sword Mountain to the inside, but no one can go there. ”
Everyone listened to Yang Gao while roasting the fire.
"Why?" Yin Jiu asked.
"Because there is a very terrifying stone statue on that road, it is said that it is a formation stone statue left by the Xuanfeng Gate when it moved out of this place. People who get close to the stone statue will go crazy, and then attack each other, only those who have cultivated to a high level can walk over, I once saw a master of the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm who was still calm when he walked past the stone statue, but the moment he passed through the stone statue, he suddenly went crazy. Then he committed suicide, and since then, these sword seekers with low cultivation have even more dared not take this path. ”
The rain was very heavy, it seemed that it was going to fall overnight, and it was quite warm in the cave, Luo Tian was meditating against the wall, while Yang Gao was looking at the fog outside and drinking.
"As far as I know, the Black Wolf Army is one of the elites of the Iron Feather Country, and it is not easy for you to be the captain of one of them, why didn't you continue to stay in the army, but came here?" Luo Tian asked.
"Not everything in life can go your way. Yang Gao shook his head and said.
"You're a deserter. Luo Tian said bluntly.
Yang Gao suddenly became excited and shouted: "Lao Tzu is not a deserter, damn it, don't talk nonsense." ”
"Then you are not sick or painful, why are you not in the army, I know that the officers of the Black Wolf Army will not be able to retire and go home until they are seventy years old, you are at most forty years old this year, except for deserters, I can't think of why you are here?" Luo Tian asked with a sneer.
"I'm not a deserter. Just encountered something and had to leave the army. Yang Gao's voice became softer, and Luo Tian smiled and didn't ask any more.
At this time, Xiao Hei, who was standing at the door, suddenly raised his head and looked outside vigilantly. Then he chirped a few times in the cave, obviously to remind Luo Tian to pay attention to someone outside.
It didn't take long for a group of people to emerge from the fog and run towards the cave in a panic.
"Brothers, I'm sorry. It's raining heavily outside, and there are monsters, so we come to hide from the rain, and as soon as the rain stops, we'll leave. ”
Five or six people came, and the leader said as he bowed his head and rushed into the cave.
"Huh?" Luo Tian seemed to recognize the other party's identity.
"Isn't this Brother Luo Bi?" Yin Jiu next to him smiled. It's a weird smile.
Luo Bi, who heard the voice, wiped the rain off his face, first saw Yin Jiu, his face turned a little pale, and then saw Luo Tian sitting cross-legged on the ground, his face changed at the moment, and shouted: "It's you again!"
Every time Luo Bi met Luo Tian, he was blackmailed with a lot of treasures, and the second time he was robbed of most of the ancient dragon's corpses, Luo Tian was like his nemesis, and every time he met it, it would be no good thing.
So. As soon as he saw Luo Tian, he didn't say hello, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Brother Luo Bi, I haven't seen you for a long time. Unexpectedly, Luo Tian took the initiative to say hello.
Luo Bi turned around awkwardly and smiled: "Oh, what a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be here?"
"I'm here to buy swords, what about you?" Luo Tian looked around as he spoke, this time Luo Bi had a few masters with him, all of whom were cultivators of the sixth level or so of the Qi Refining Realm, and it seemed that he had come prepared.
"Well, you know, going around and making a little fortune is not as good as you. I heard that you are already the captain of the Sin Tiger, which is amazing. "Luo Bi's news is still quite well-informed.
And Yang Gao, who heard this sentence on the side, frowned, as an officer of the black wolf, he had dealt with the sin tiger more than once, and he had fought with each other several times.
Unexpectedly, this young man was actually the captain of the Sin Tiger, with a slight amount of killing intent floating in his eyes, and the scene of fighting and killing Sin Tiger in the army came to his mind, and his eyes when he looked at Luo Tian also changed.
"Have you gained anything?" Luo Tian turned the conversation to the matter of Taojian.
Luo Bi shook his head vigilantly and said, "No, it's so easy, by the way, how do you go in this direction?" Recently, I heard that someone in this direction found a path that bypassed the stone statue and led to the interior of Sword Mountain, should you be heading for that path?"
Luo Bi asked tentatively, but Luo Tian smiled and said, "Yes." We have a guide and can enter the interior of Sword Mountain, do you want to take a ride?"
Luo Bi didn't expect Luo Tian to admit it so generously, and suddenly showed joy on his face, nodded and said, "Of course, is there really a way?"
"Of course, I didn't lie to you, but you can take you on the road, but you have to pay some fare. Luo Tian said with a smile.
"How much?" Luo Bi hurriedly asked.
"Ten thousand taels, give ten thousand taels. I'll take you into the interior of Sword Mountain by the way. ”
