Chapter 3: The Same Path (II)

After bidding farewell to Qin Zhuo and Qin Han, the horse team set off, and Qin Wolf took the lead in leading the way. As soon as he left the city gate, he saw Wu Qing waiting on the side of the road with more than a dozen beast warriors and beast warriors. Seeing the horse team of Luo Ji and others, he stepped forward with a smile. Qi Nanshan didn't talk nonsense, waved his hand and said, "Keep up!"

Qin Wolf pinched the horse's belly hard, and said loudly: "Accelerate! Accelerate!"

Guo Twelve rode a big black horse and galloped forward with the horse team, and the feeling of galloping was really great.

Two days later, the horse team came to Hengguan. Hengguan is very similar to Savage Pass, located between two mountains, passing through a valley, and coming under the walls of Hengguan.

The Hengguan Pass is an important traffic pass, guarded by the disciples of the Beifu Gate, and these disciples have a rotation system. There are often disciples who go to the grassland to train here, and there are many caravans that go out and enter the customs.

Entering and exiting the Hengguan must be registered and recorded, but these don't need to worry about Luo Wei and the others, Qin Wolf and a few subordinates quickly completed it, and a few hours later, the horse team entered the grassland.

At first, you could still see the merchant's carriage procession, and soon Qin Wolf left the normal trade route with the horse team and entered the vast grassland. He chose a closer path, but to take this path must be guaranteed by a certain amount of force.

Guo 12 found that the grassland here was a little different from the grassland in the previous life, the weeds grew very luxuriantly, if a person stood on the grass, he could only show his upper body, while he could only show one head, unless he was riding on a horse, otherwise he could not see the scenery in front of him.

The grassland is not only dense with wild grasses, but also with patches of green woods, but because of its relatively small area, you can see the end at a glance when you ride on horseback. There are many unknown birds hovering in the clear blue sky, and thousands of birds gather and scatter, and when they gather, they cover the sky and the sun, which looks very spectacular.

There are many herbivores such as bison and antelope in the grassland, and some Guo Twelve can't name them. As their horse caravan galloped past, countless birds and beasts fled in all directions. He also saw some wild dogs, which were extremely fat and as strong as calves in late autumn.

Wild dogs are the fiercest animals of the savannah, but they do not dare to provoke humans, especially horses. When they encounter a team of horses, their first thought is to run away. Because for thousands of years, wild dogs who dared to attack humans did not know how many were killed, and gradually, they developed a deep fear of humans, and instinctively avoided them as soon as they saw humans and their horse teams.

Galloping all the way, Guo Twelve was completely unable to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and it was easy to get lost on the grassland.

Qi Nanshan urged the horse to gallop to Qin Wolf's side, and asked loudly, "No rest at noon?"

Qin Wolf said: "There is no time to rest, we can only eat some dry food on the horse, we must rush to the ruins of Nanpu before evening, it is safer to relax and rest." ”

Qi Nanshan knew the horror of the night on the grassland, and he nodded and said, "You can arrange it!"

Qin Wolf said loudly: "Change horses to ride at noon, rest for a while, this time is convenient for everyone, and feed and drink water for the horses, as for eating...... As soon as it was settled, we had to get to Southburg before dark. ”

The team of more than 30 people has hundreds of war horses, except for Guo 125 children, the others are experienced and powerful professionals. Only such a team dared to take the route chosen by Qin Wolf, not the route taken by the caravan, because they had strong mobility and strong force.

......

In the evening, Nanpu finally appeared on the horizon.

"That's Nanburg?"

Guo Twelve looked curiously at the half-collapsed huge tower in the distance.

After a day's gallop, the horses were covered with sweat, snorting incessantly, and the sound of heavy breathing was loud. Qin Wolf said: "Everyone be careful, there are often wandering squads in Nanpu, we try not to clash with them." ”

Guo Twelve asked, "Master, what is the Wandering Squad?"

Luo Wei said: "Hehe, the wandering team is composed of professionals who have no home, they are a group of people who are rolling on the line of life and death, they are the best at killing, ignoring death, and they are also the people who die the fastest, and those who can survive are all masters, and they can even challenge high-level professionals......"

Guo Twelve broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and said, "Why are you so powerful?"

Qi Nanshan said: "If you are allowed to kill all day, you will become so powerful, the premise is that you can survive." ”

Guo Twelve shook his head and said, "I don't want to die, well, where did these people come from?"

Luo Yi said: "The source is more complicated, some are wandering talisman martial artists who have lost their masters, some are spellcasters who have lost their partners, more are professionals who have been expelled by their families, as well as professionals who have been expelled by sects, and some sect disciples who have come out to experience in order to improve their own strength...... The personnel are very complex, and in the wandering squad, everyone does not ask each other about their origins. ”

Guo Twelve asked, "Are there many such squads?"

Luo Ji said: "A lot, a lot...... Not only on the grassland, but also on the far north wasteland outside our Beifu Gate, they believe in 'strength first, killing-based', often disagree, draw their swords against each other...... This kind of thing is very common, hehe, but they generally don't bully people casually, as long as they don't mess with them, it's not a big problem, but there are also crazy people among them, and they belong to the kind of crazy people who draw knives and cut them if they don't like them. ”

Qi Nanshan said with a smile: "That kind of madman generally doesn't live long, because most wandering professionals don't want to form a team with such a madman, it's too unsafe." ”

Guo Twelve said: "Aren't they afraid of death?"

Luo Ji said with a smile: "Not afraid of death, it doesn't mean that you are willing to die, there is such a madman in the team, everyone's safety is not guaranteed." ”

Guo Twelve asked, "In Nanpu, will we encounter such a team?"

Qi Nanshan said: "I can meet it 100 percent, this is the first stop to enter the grassland, and it is also the last stop to return from the grassland, so it is a very lively place." ”

Qin Wolf said: "Nanpu has a special area for the wandering team, hehe, twelve less, as long as you don't offend them, there will be no problem, moreover, the wandering team often has some strange items for sale, and they, like us, also need to use talisman money to support the team's consumption." ”

Soon, Southburg was in sight. This is an abandoned castle that covers a large area, and although most of the walls have collapsed, it is a good resting spot in the grassland. There are more than a dozen wells in the castle, and only about five are available.

When I entered the castle, I saw several fires, and there were some people around them. Qin Wolf led everyone to a well and said, "Rest here today, old man, I'll make a fire and cook." ”

Luo Jian smiled: "You are responsible for lighting the fire, there are twelve of them for cooking." He was used to the food that Guo Twelve cooked them, and it tasted much better than boiled meat.

Guo Twelve nodded and said, "Let's eat barbecue today." Uncle Luo, you took people to hunt three bison and came back, and when I came in, I saw a herd of bison in the southwest. Hurry up, it's getting dark. “

Luo Zhan greeted and rode out of the castle with a few Fu martial artists.

Qin Wolf beckoned his men to go to the grove outside to cut down trees. It was already late autumn, and there were a lot of yellow weeds and trees, and many of them were brought back in a short time.

Guo 12 erected dead trees and weeds, and lit a fire. Before it was completely dark, Luo Zhan and the others dragged back with four fat bison.

Everyone started to peel and disembowel together, Guo Twelve set up a large copper pot, boiled soup with beef bones, and took out a special barbecue stand, supported three bison, and began to make barbecue. This is definitely manual work, Guo Twelve is in charge, he has a group of strong men under him, and he doesn't care about the weight of the bison at all.

After half an hour of roasting, a strong aroma of meat spreads. From time to time, people peek in this way, and they are all people who are attracted by the smell of meat.

Guo Twelve arranged everyone's food first, and then brought his four companions to the side. He took out a rectangular grill, which was made from memories of his previous life, took out a pile of burnt charcoal, and took out a large handful of copper skewers, and said, "Come, there is another bison here, let's make our own kebabs and eat them." ”

Chen Hong made a fire, the others skewered meat, and Guo Twelve was in charge of the kebabs. He took out his secret condiment and began to grill the beef skewers in high spirits.

It was the first time he had made kebabs in this world. Huo Bao only took one bite, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Hey, it's delicious...... Oops, so delicious......"

Chen Bing took the time to grab a barbecue skewer, took a bite of it, and suddenly his eyes widened, he couldn't care about talking anymore, and ate wildly.

When Luo Wei saw Guo Twelve running to the side with his four companions to eat, he knew that they had tricks, and when the aroma of the kebab wafted over, he couldn't help but sneak over quietly. Qi Nanshan was responsible for Luo Yi's safety, and of course he knew the old man's actions, so he quietly followed.

"Twelve, what are you going to eat?"

Guo Twelve smiled and handed over a few skewers of grilled meat skewers, Luo Yi just got it in his hand, and stretched out a big hand next to him, grabbed two of them, and said: "I'll taste Twelve's craftsmanship...... "The meat skewers are very large, each piece of meat is the size of a fist, Qi Nanshan bit down a piece hard, tasted it a little, and praised: "Twelve, you actually ...... Unexpectedly...... It's so delicious!"

Luo Ji was also surprised when he took a bite, the single-grilled meat skewers were different from the grilled whole beef, the taste was more delicious, and the meat was more tender.

Almost a few skewers were snatched away, Guo Twelve couldn't eat them at all, he shouted a little helplessly: "Hey, leave me a few skewers......"

Everyone couldn't help laughing, just as Guo Twelve baked more than a dozen skewers, they were immediately snatched away by a few hands. Guo Twelve looked up suddenly, and found a sloppy big man holding two kebabs in his hands, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Who are you?"

The man didn't pay any attention to it, took a bite of a piece of barbecue, swallowed it in a few bites, and then his eyes widened, he had never eaten so delicious. After eating two skewers of barbecue like a storm, he looked at Guo Twelve with blank eyes.

Guo Twelve didn't know what was going on, so he handed over the two skewers of barbecue that had just been grilled in his hand.
