Chapter 107: A Test of Survival
After entering the city, Xie Qingyun didn't walk around, although he wanted to take a look everywhere, but he remembered clearly, in the stories told by his father, there were always such people who didn't keep their promises, and when their companions didn't arrive, they thought about watching for a while, or just playing for a while, or eating one more, causing trouble in vain and even losing their lives.
Whenever he talks about such a story, Dad always adds: "If you don't die, you won't die." Xie Qingyun didn't want to be such a person, so he honestly asked for directions and went to Dongjiekou to wait.
Without waiting for a while, Xie Qingyun saw Nie Shi coming on horseback, and as soon as they met, he was dragged onto the back of the horse by Nie Shi with his hand: "Go, go out of the city with me and do things." ”
Xie Qingyun didn't sleep much along the way, but this fatigue was no problem for him, so he followed Nie Shi immediately, and the two of them rode out of Chaishan County again.
Although Xie Qingyun was curious in his heart, but Nie Shi didn't say it, he didn't ask, anyway, he quickly knew what to do, and he had waited for five days, which was not too late.
In a short time, the Thunder Fire Horse carried the two of them through the outskirts of the city for hundreds of miles, and not far in front of them was the checkpoint of the Canghu Origin Beast Clan.
On the east and west sides of Canghu Plain, near the suburbs of Ningshui and Chaishan County, there are beast areas, each stretching for thousands of miles, and more than 40,000 miles in the middle is the place where beast pawns and beast generals haunt.
At the beginning, Qin Dong only said that Ningshui County and Canghu Yuan intersected.
Just came all the way, Xie Qingyun took a look and knew that this side of Chaishan County was almost the same as Ningshui County.
As a result, the young man knew in his heart that the Zhendong Army was not enough to sweep Canghu Plain, but it could build fortifications and advance layer by layer. Separate the beast pawns and beast warriors, and roughly divide them into different areas. Let the warriors be able to fight and kill the desolate beasts with the same combat power, so as to grow. I think the other counties are about the same.
When passing through the customs, the county soldiers guarding saw the two tokens handed by Nie Shi, and let them go.
When he came with the Thunderfire Express before, Xie Qingyun remembered that at the four checkpoints before and after, the martial artist who drove the car handed the same brand, the token of Wuhua Xingfang, and a brand could pass a car of seven people.
Now Nie Shi handed over but he didn't know what kind of token it was. So after passing the customs, Xie Qingyun asked.
"Shibayama-gun's martial arts order. Nie Shi explained: "Canghu is the territory of the desolate beast, people who do not belong to any force come here, if they don't follow the shop, they have to use the martial apprentice order, and the martial apprentice order can only walk in the beast area, if you want to go further, you need the martial artist order." ”
"Why do you want to do this? Do ordinary people dare to come to the beast area to die? Do the martial disciples want to fight with the beast pawns?" Xie Qingyun was a little puzzled.
"Man dies for wealth, and birds die for food. Nie Shi said coldly: "The stronger the desolate beast." The more valuable the things on the body are, everyone wants to try their luck, if the martial artist encounters an injured beast pawn, several people will surround and suppress it. It doesn't have to be impossible to win. If you grab the beast pill, you can directly exchange it for the martial pill, which is such a big profit. Many people will take risks to avoid unnecessary deaths and injuries. The emperor will give such an order to recognize people by cards. ”
Talking. Nie Shi rode out of the official road, stepped on the wilderness and mountain field next to the official road, and headed towards the nearby camp.
"What is this?" Xie Qingyun guessed something, and suddenly laughed: "Are we going to hunt wild beasts?"
"It's just why did you come to Chai Mountain?" Xie Qingyun followed and asked, but without waiting for Nie Shi to answer, he figured it out himself, "Also, if you are in the Beast Ling District near Ningshui County, it is easy to meet other martial disciples who have come out to practice, and if you are seen together, it will reach the ears of the Pei family, causing people to be suspicious." ”
A long time ago, Xie Qingyun had told Nie Shi that it would be good if he could go to the territory of the desolate beast and fight face-to-face with the desolate beast. At that time, Nie Shi had said that when Xie Qingyun's "Nine Interceptions" was completed and he was ready to go out to find the Extreme Yang Flower for his mother, he would take him to the Wild Beast Territory to get used to it.
It wasn't until more than a month ago, when Nie Shi caught the desolate beast and taught him to practice the art of stealth, that Xie Qingyun was the first time he really dealt with the desolate beast alone.
That month, although it was sometimes very embarrassing, the little boy was very energetic, thinking that this was probably Nie Shi's strongest training for him before going to the general examination of the beast extermination camp.
Unexpectedly, right now, he would lead him to the territory of the desolate beast and face the desolate beast head-on.
The young boy knew that this was completely different from being in a sound-breaking chamber, and that walking in the mountains was far more exhausting than in a sound-breaking room. The number, type, and combat power of the desolate beasts are not comparable to those few in the silence room.
And the most important of them is blood, no matter how well "Cutting Blade" is practiced, no matter how fast the body is, no matter how strong the two forces are, once they fall into a bloody battle and face real life and death, many people can't even play fifty percent of their usual combat power.
Regarding this, not only did Qin Dong mention it to Xie Qingyun many years ago, but Xie Qingyun himself also read it in the book.
It's just that Xie Qingyun is not worried about this. In the stone prison of the Three Arts Academy, he almost died, and that was the first time he fought with his life, and he had the slightest fear.
"Surprise?!" Nie Shi was stunned, and then grinned: "It's really a surprise." ”
Xie Qingyun didn't care about the strange tone in Nie Shi's words, his heart was excited, and he looked around.
Although I had seen these camps in the Thunderfire Express before, the speed was extremely fast, and the distance was a little far, and I could only see that there were about fifty miles of land on both sides of the official road, surrounded by a high fence, and there were arrow towers standing, and inside the arrow towers and fences, there were many camp tents.
Now that the Thunderfire Horse is moving forward at a normal speed, it can be seen in detail and clearly, in addition to the defense of the entire perimeter, each camp is also surrounded by its own simple camp fence, and there is a flag in front of the fence, and the name of the camp is written on the flag.
Some of the larger camps have dozens of tents, the most courageous is the Liewu Gate, followed by the Wuhua Commercial Bank, and the smaller camps have less than ten tents, and they have never even heard the name.
Nie Shi clamped the horse's belly, sped up, and after a short time, he came to a very small camp, and the name on the camp flag was quite imposing: Canghu League.
It's just that the seven tents lined up in the camp already show how small their alliance is, and there is not a single horse on the empty tethered horse stakes.
The entire camp looked empty, but Nie Shi and Xie Qingyun led the horses in. A middle-aged man in a fur hat came out of one of the tents and greeted him with a smile: "Two guest officers." In the Bashan Stone of the Lower Canghu League, do you want to live in a camp or buy something? We have all kinds of pills. If you have enough money, you can get the Qi and Blood Pill as well......"
"Two warrior bags in a hundred jun, Lei Huoma is fostered by you, and I will come back to pick it up in twenty days at the latest. Nie Shi interrupted the man impatiently and casually threw him two ingots of silver.
Bashan Shi was obviously the kind that saw the money open, stared at the two ingots of silver and swallowed his saliva, took it in his hand with a smile, and said, "Well, you wait." The warrior's bag will be sent to you in a moment. ”
As he spoke, he led the Lei Huo horse to the tethered horse stake, and settled the horses, Bashan Shi ran into the camp tent in a puff of smoke, and in less than a moment, he came out with two huge empty bags and handed them to Nie Shi.
The warrior's bags are mostly made of animal skin, which is very tough. It's much bigger than the usual baggage.
Whether it is a warrior or a martial apprentice, they like to enter the territory of the desolate beast with this kind of bag, which can hold a lot of valuable muscles and bones on the desolate beast
"It's none of your business. Nie Shi waved his sleeves, and Bashan Shi was quite eye-catching. He immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Then I wish you two good luck and hunt more beasts back." ”
He's just an internal martial artist. I couldn't see Nie Shi's cultivation, only Nie Shi's appearance. I guessed that Nie Shi might be a martial artist, and then looked at Xie Qingyun. thought that this was a warrior who brought his children out to practice.
If a warrior family can come to a small camp like him to send horses, of course Bashan Shi has to be considerate, and whatever Nie Shi says, it is naturally what it is.
So, as soon as he had finished speaking, the men trotted all the way back to the tent.
Xie Qingyun kept looking around, waiting for Bashan Shi to leave, only to find that Nie Shi seemed to be leaving, and immediately doubted: "Don't we live, don't you sell food here, my dry food is gone, and the water is gone." ”
"Let's go. Nie Shi strode out of the camp first, and dropped a sentence: "There is food and drink, and what beasts are you hunting, don't you want to be surprised, this is a surprise." ”
Xie Qingyun let out an "ah" and chased after him in three or two steps: "Why is this, hunting desolate beasts and starving?!"
Without waiting for Nie Shi to answer, Xie Qingyun suddenly remembered something, and continued: "No wonder I came to Chai Mountain in such a hurry five days ago, you don't want me to be prepared, and I ran out of dry food and water along the way...... It's a test, a test of the elite, a test of survival. ”
As he spoke, the little boy was not depressed, but laughed, feeling that this was exciting: "In my father's story, it was said that the elite in the army would go through a special kind of training, survive in an extremely difficult environment, and eat everything they could. ”
Nie Shi raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "What nonsense, haven't you learned to listen to the wind, smell the soil, and be near the water in the past half a month?!"
Nie Shi was cold, Xie Qingyun was very used to it, and when he heard him talk about the three major auxiliary techniques of stealth, he suddenly thought of mentioning it, "Speaking is exhausting and exhausting, and one or two sentences are not much, but gathering sand into a tower, if you travel a long distance and have to talk from time to time, you will definitely suffer from it." ”
So, Xie Qingyun didn't say anything anymore, only arched his hand, and reminded Master Xie.
Subsequently, the two walked side by side, without saying a word all the way. Wading through the hills like this, the beasts didn't see half of them, but the warriors saw several groups, most of them were a team of three or five people.
Nie Shi didn't seem to want to be with others, so he took Xie Qingyun with him at the moment, looking for a place where no one was around, and finally got farther and farther away from the others, and in the afternoon, he got into a dense forest, within a radius of a few miles, and he could no longer hear the slightest human voice.
"Okay, in the next few days, you lead the way, I will follow, and it is up to you to eat and drink. Nie Shi suddenly said this, and sat down with a butt, "I'm hungry, go find something to eat." ”
After walking all morning, the excitement in Xie Qingyun's heart had long since disappeared, not because of fatigue, but because he did it on purpose.
Although the little boy can fight and fight, and his temperament is also flying, he knows very well that even if he is desperate for life and death, he must be as careful as a hair, and he must be calm as water, only in this way can he think of a desperate way and have a desperate means, otherwise he would have been abolished and killed in Liuyuan and in the stone prison.
What's more, the current situation requires tenacity, not to mention impulsiveness, so along the way, Xie Qingyun has been trying to calm down and drive away the excitement of entering the territory of the desolate beast for the first time.
Later, he simply opened his six senses, and while recalling all the methods mentioned in the three techniques of listening to the wind, smelling the soil, and facing the water, he condensed and felt all the natural things around his body, and finally achieved a static word. (To be continued......)
