Chapter 31: The Law of Survival
"Damn, this damn rain has been raining for three days in a row!" As soon as Yin Gongzi muttered, he stepped on the small mud puddle, and his body stumbled violently, but fortunately, Elder Yan helped him from the side, so he didn't fall out.
Elder Yan's face was flushed abnormally, which was a sign that his spiritual power was facing overdraft, and the sleeve of his robe on the right side had been cut a few times, although it did not hurt his muscles and bones, but it also looked very embarrassed, completely losing his usual gentle and elegant scholarly temperament.
The four brothers and sisters of the Yin family were all gathered within a range of about three feet beside him, and there was no way to use his cultivation in the late stage of qi refining, and the small water clearing technique he performed could only cover a range of a few meters around.
The small water repellent technique can shield the wind and rain on the head, but it can't make the muddy mountain road under your feet easy to walk.
From Mt. Okura to the county seat is a wasteland that crosses two thousand miles, and it is a two-to-three day journey for Qi refining cultivators and even strong mortals to ride on Steppenwolf. Even because of the cart driving the yaks in the wasteland, they walked on the wasteland for three more days, and the Yin family brothers and sisters did not feel very hard.
The straight-line distance from Cangshan County to the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts is only more than a thousand miles, and it will not take half an hour for the Tsukiji Monk Edgeworth to fly. But for Qi Refiners and mortals, this section of the road is actually crossing Okura Mountain, which is very difficult to walk.
The "mountain road" is rugged and steep, and the so-called mountain road here is for Qi refining cultivators, and for mortals, many places are simply cliffs and cliffs, impassable. The Yin family brothers and sisters had to rely on the three Keqing elders to take turns carrying them before they could pass.
On this journey, not only were the wasteland yaks useless, but the Steppenwolves were also turned away by Okurayama because they were too big.
God seems to be working against them, from the moment they entered the mountain, the torrential rain poured down, and the misfortune was that two days ago, there was a flash flood, and a huge mudslide dozens of miles wide roared and poured down, even the low-level Qi refining cultivators encountered it head-on, and they could not escape death.
Thanks to the rich experience of survival in the wild, he sensed the danger one step in advance, so he led everyone to a high place to avoid a catastrophe. However, their squad was originally behind the group, and after being swept away by the flash flood, if they wanted to join the group, they had to go around three or four hills, and it would take several more days.
This time, the Yin family invited a three-person escort team led by a monk from the county king's mansion, and the captain's surname was Chen Xiuwei to the early stage of foundation building, and he worshiped General Yingyang in the county town, and his two subordinates were both cultivators in the late stage of qi refining.
The four words General Ying Yang sound loud, but according to the official rank of the Barbarian Emperor Wu Dynasty, it is actually just a miscellaneous martial arts.
The so-called miscellaneous five products, to put it bluntly, are not included in the military establishment of the Wu Dynasty, the Wu Dynasty only gives you a name, but is not responsible for the distribution of food and salary, this kind of miscellaneous generals are mostly the private armed forces of princes and princes in various places.
According to the practice of the Wu Dynasty, the monks who entered the military rank were called Chen Yingyang by their military rank. One of his two subordinates is surnamed Liu and the other is surnamed Song, and everyone is called the captain.
After they were dispersed, it didn't take long for them to be found by Chen Yingyang, who came from Edgeworth. General Chen is also a soldier, he spoke straightforwardly, and immediately issued a condition, which roughly means: Do you want to return to the team as soon as possible, our family can take you to pretend to take you to fly, ten low-level spirit stones per person.
Without thinking about it, everyone shook their heads one after another, and said in their hearts: This general is poor and crazy, right?
Yin Gongchou discussed with a date or not, one person has ten spirit stones, can he fly directly to the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts?
As a result, General Chen's face turned cold, and he only snorted coldly, and Yin Gongchou was like being hit hard, spurting out a mouthful of blood, looking at him like a fish about to be flattened, trying to open his mouth, but it was extremely difficult to breathe.
Seeing this, Elder Yan hurriedly took a step forward and stood between the two.
"Presumptuous!" Chen Ying flicked the sleeves of his robe, Elder Yan crossed his arms forward, and an invisible cyclone surged and collided in the air. Elder Yan only lasted for two breaths, and then he took a few steps back with a pale face.
Elder Yan's chest rose and fell sharply a few times, and although blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, he was finally not suppressed like Yin Gongchou.
Chen Yingyang's cold gaze swept over everyone's faces, and the suffocating coercion made several young people who were not afraid of heaven and earth feel like a weak reptile facing the King Kong giant ape, and people could crush them into slag with just one finger.
In the face of the huge coercion of this cross-border boundary, no matter how angry and unwilling he is in his heart, he cannot raise the slightest will to resist.
Fortunately, Chen Yingyang was the guard who received the Yin family's spirit stone after all, although he was unhappy in his heart, he couldn't do too much, and he left with a little punishment.
Elder Yan adjusted his breath, and saw that several boys of the Yin family were like frosted eggplants, all of them lost their former vitality, their mouths moved, and they wanted to persuade something, but finally swallowed back their words with a wry smile.
It's not a bad thing to make these young people suffer, at least it can make them understand one thing: in the face of absolute power, low-ranking monks need to maintain their consciousness as ants at all times.
As a pathfinder, Yin Qin did not encounter Chen Yingyang, and when he returned to the team to listen to Yin Xiao's novel, he was also in a strange mood. He reflected on what he had done in the county town before, and he had to say that they were extremely lucky, not only did they earn spirit stones, but everyone was unscathed.
Shouting for his luck, he blamed himself diligently, when he designed the scam, he habitually followed the conventional mentality of the previous life, and ignored the most fundamental survival rule that has been followed in the Great Wilderness for thousands of years in this life, that is, "the law of the jungle eats the strong". Many times, as the weak side, even if you try hard, you will never be able to resist the straight blow of the strong.
The aftermath of the shock brought by Chen Yingyang to everyone has not subsided, and everyone has disagreed on the question of where the team should go.
It was suggested that instead of going through the mountains and mountains to join the brigade, it was better to go their separate ways, and everyone's final destination was the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts anyway.
This proposal was strongly opposed by the three Hakka elders of the Yin family, on the grounds that there were foundation building monks from the county town to provide protection, and it was relatively safer in case of encountering a wasteland demon beast or a suspicious scattered cultivator invasion.
As everyone knows, what worries Yin Qin the most is not the demon beast scattered cultivation, but the Yin family's great elder Yin Tiecheng. Now that he finally has a chance to get out of his sight, he is naturally reluctant to return to the army after being killed.
To his surprise, the four brothers and sisters of the Yin family insisted on going all the way with him without hesitation, which made the three elders embarrassed. How can the three elders persuade him, Yin Gongchou only has one sentence, I can't control my mouth, in case I say a wrong sentence and is slapped by the general surnamed Chen, who of you will block it for me?
Everyone had no choice but to let the two Elders of Keqing take most of their team over the mountain to chase Yin Tiecheng's team. The four siblings of Yin Qin and Yin Gongzi were guarded by Elder Yan, and they walked in concealment and went straight to the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
