Chapter 22: The Secret of the Beast Tide
Under a stone wall in the wild forest, more than 60 people are scattered around the waterhole. These men were armed and wore light armor. In this way, those who have a little insight can see that they are adventurers.
"Boss, are we going to leave like this?" Li Ping, who was full of beard, asked his eldest brother Li Feng unwillingly, Li Feng looked at him and did not speak.
There are millions of warriors in the country of Dayu, a small number of them join the government and the legion, some gather in the situation of martial arts families and sects, and the rest are scattered all over the place, they are called scattered cultivators. Scattered cultivators did not have a strong force as a backer, and if they wanted to fight for cultivation resources, they could only fight for their lives, so many casual cultivators cooperated to form an adventure group.
It is worth mentioning that the strength of the adventure group is not high, and there are almost no innate powerhouses. This is also very understandable, the innate powerhouse either joins the big forces, or creates a martial arts family by himself, who will form an adventure group?
At present, this adventure group is one of the thousands of adventure groups in the Great Yu Kingdom, the head of the group, Li Feng, the martial artist at the peak of the day after tomorrow. He also has two brothers, Li Tie and Li Ping, both of whom are late in the day after tomorrow. In fact, this adventure group was formed by the three Li brothers.
Li Feng's adventure group usually operates in Jiangzhou, the westernmost state of the Great Yu Kingdom, and the Weeping Blood City is under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou. The three Li brothers, who had been in Jiangzhou for a long time, had heard the legend of the beast tide in Weeping Blood City, and they came to Weeping Blood City when they got the news half a month ago.
There are now many loose cultivators like Li Feng in Weeping Blood City, and these people followed the Northwest Army into the savage forest yesterday in an attempt to fish in troubled waters. It's just that Liu Yuntao's advantage is so easy to take advantage of, and it didn't take long for him to issue an order to expel the surrounding adventure groups and loose cultivators, and Li Feng's adventure group did not escape the expulsion.
Seeing that the eldest brother didn't speak, Li Ping suddenly stood up and kicked the stone next to him into the pool. Li Ping is more than two meters tall, strong as a bear, and he is angry, giving people a strong oppressive force.
"Ah......h
"Okay, third child, stop screaming. The second Li Tie stepped forward and said, "What else can I do if I don't leave, go and compete with the brigade of the Northwest Army? Just us, I'm afraid we will be killed in a few rounds." ”
Li Ping was immediately unconvinced: "If it's one-on-one, we will definitely not lose to them......"
"Even if it's one-on-one, we don't have a chance of winning, don't forget, there are innate strong people in the army!"
When it comes to the innate strong, Li Ping, who has always been arrogant, can't help but be dumbfounded. Compared with congenital, acquired is like a baby is to an adult, and there is no comparison at all. Unless they can form a military formation like an army, or use the sect's secret formation, they can pose a certain threat to the innate nature.
"Okay, the second brother is right, no matter what, we must not clash with the army, otherwise we will definitely not be able to get out of the wild forest. Li Feng got up and said.
"Then big brother, let's leave like this?" This time Li Tie was unwilling.
"Of course not!" Li Feng said extremely firmly, "It took me a lot of effort to find out the secret of the Savage Beast Tide, this secret is related to whether I can advance to the innate level, even if I die, I will never leave!"
Li Tie and Li Ping glanced at each other, and Li Tie said, "Big brother, what is the secret of this beast tide?"
Li Feng lowered his voice and said, "I don't know what it is." You know Huang Taozhi, right?"
Of course I know, he is a well-known innate powerhouse in Jiangzhou. The two said at the same time.
"Hehe, he is not an ordinary innate powerhouse, in fact, Huang Taozhi is a member of the Huang family in Weeping Blood City!" Li Feng said.
"Huh?" exclaimed Li Tie, "how is this possible?"
"Don't talk about us, even those big people in Yong'an City may not know. Li Feng chuckled.
Li Tie thought for a moment and said, "This news seems unexpected, but it is actually reasonable. The four major families have monopolized Weeping Blood City for a hundred years, and they have accumulated strong strength, and they will definitely expand outward, and Jiangzhou will bear the brunt. But big brother, did you get any news from him when you mentioned Huang Taozhi?"
"You guessed right, second child. Huang Taozhi has a good relationship in Zuichun Building, and when he was drunk, he inadvertently said that he used the beast tide to achieve congenital, and also said that the four major families were able to accumulate so many innate powerhouses, all of which were due to the beast tide. Li Feng said slowly.
"Is his word reliable?" asked Li Ping, scratching his head.
Li Feng sighed: "Whether it's true or not, I have to come here." I've been stuck at the peak of the day after tomorrow for 13 years, and if I can't achieve innate before the age of 40, I will be hopeless in this life. ”
"Big brother, don't be discouraged, in fact, think about it, Huang Taozhi's words are probably really credible. Li Tie suddenly said, "I have always felt that the rise of the four major families is too fast, but in a hundred years, the four major families have overwhelmed Jiangzhou and become the top family in the Dayu Kingdom, and there must be a special reason for this." Hearing my eldest brother say this today, my doubts have been solved, it seems that there must be secrets hidden behind the beast tide that ordinary people don't know!"
"Even so, we can't run around in the wilderness forest, can we?" said Li Pingweng.
"Of course not, the wild forest is boundless, how can you collide without direction?" Li Feng almost laughed angrily at his brainless brother.
"No wonder the eldest brother is following behind the Northwest Legion, they must know the secret too. Li Tie finally understood Li Feng's arrangement.
"Yes, but who knew that Liu Yuntao was so domineering. Li Feng was a little frustrated.
"I've been talking for a long time, what now?" Li Ping's irritable voice broke the silence.
"There's really nothing good to do. We can't afford to offend the Northwest Army, and we can't afford to offend the four major families, but if we go back like this, how can I be willing!" Li Feng slammed his fist on the ground, "I'm afraid this is the only opportunity in my life to advance to the innate level!"
"Then wait here. Li Tie sighed secretly, who doesn't want to achieve innateness?
......
Under the leadership of Lei Dong, Zhou Tianci led four teams to kill fierce beasts and save mountain people in the area of Yutou Mountain, and it took five days of hard work to finally find the survivors of more than a dozen nearby villages, and then send them back to Weeping Blood City. At the same time, the fifth team that was the first to escort everyone in Leijia Village also joined Zhou Tianci, and Zhou Tianci's first team became complete.
"Captain, the commander has passed on the news, and everyone will rush to Shepan Mountain within ten days. "Yang Jing, the leader of the fifth squad, brought news to Zhou Tianci.
"Snake Mountain?" Zhou Tianci asked Chen Xiangrong, "Do you know there?"
Chen Xiangrong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Last time the beast tide, I also went there." ”
"How far are we from Shepan Mountain now?" asked Zhou Tianci.
"More than 800 miles. Chen Xiangrong said.
"Okay, everyone get ready, let's go immediately!" Zhou Tianci knew that the military law was strict, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
"My lord, can you let me come with you?" said Lei Dong suddenly.
"You want to go too?" Zhou Tianci looked at Lei Dong, "Shepan Mountain is not Yutou Mountain, it is no longer the edge of the wild forest, it must be much more dangerous, even I can't guarantee that I will retreat, are you sure you want to go?"
"My lord, please let me follow you!" said Lei Dong resolutely.
Zhou Tianci smiled: "Since you have made up your mind, then come." ”
Entering the wild forest again, Zhou Tianci's speed increased a lot. In the past five days, Zhou Tianci led his men through more than ten battles and killed thousands of fierce beasts. Every time he fights, Zhou Tianci takes the lead, and it is easy to kill fierce beasts like eating and drinking. His performance completely won everyone's respect, and even Qi Shan, who had a mysterious background, looked at him with a hint of awe.
If you want to say that the person who worships Zhou Tianci the most is still Lei Dong, this kid already regards Zhou Tianci as a god in his heart. Zhou Tianci also attaches great importance to Lei Dong, and guides him to cultivate when he has time, in the eyes of others, Lei Dong is already Zhou Tianci's apprentice.
Zhou Tianci and his entourage marched quickly along the route opened up by other legions, and at the end of the day, they went 120 miles deep into the wilderness. When he was resting in the evening, Zhou Tianci asked Chen Xiangrong about the information about Shepan Mountain.
"Shepan Mountain is also a branch of the Black Dragon Mountain Range, but it is much larger than Yutou Mountain. Chen Xiangrong recalled the limited information he knew, "Snake Pan Mountain is surrounded by mountains, like a snake pan, so it gets its name." The inside of Shepan Mountain is very dangerous, and there are monsters infested ......"
"Wait, demon beast?" Zhou Tianci interrupted, he was about to enter the innate now, and no beast could threaten his safety, but in the face of demon beasts, Zhou Tianci was not very sure.
"It's a demon beast!" Chen Xiangrong was very sure, "Seven years ago, I was stationed with the Thunder Legion at a mountain pass in Shepan Mountain, and suddenly heard a loud roar in the middle of the night, and it was rumored in the army that it was the roar of an innate demon beast. This news was confirmed the next day, and a brigade of the Cloud Piercing Legion was wiped out that night, and it was the demon beast that did it!"
Zhou Tianci pondered for a long time, judging from the information he knew, the strength of the demon beast was extremely strong. Acquired martial artists can generally have an advantage when facing fierce beasts of the same level. Fierce beasts lack intelligence, even if they are powerful, they are still no match for humans. Moreover, human beings also have the advantage of weapons and martial arts secret methods. Just like his brigade had cleared out the beasts before, killing thousands without losing a single one.
However, when a fierce beast evolves into a demon beast, it is very different. Demon beasts are not only physically strong, far surpassing humans, but also not inferior to humans in intelligence. The information in the Martial God Building also records that many demon beasts have the means of long-range attacks, and with their powerful bodies, they can easily suppress martial artists of the same level!
"Hopefully not too bad luck. But even if I encounter a demon beast, I am not without the strength to fight!" Zhou Tianci thought to himself.
"Then why do you have to guard the pass of the Snake Mountain?" Zhou Tianci asked again.
Chen Xiangrong said: "In order to stop the army of fierce beasts outside the Snake Mountain!"
Zhou Tianci said curiously: "Could it be that there are many fierce beasts that want to enter the Snake Pan Mountain?"
