Chapter 218: Out of the City

Because this time I only went to pick up the empty things sent back by Beichuan, there was no burden when I went, and everyone was not an ordinary person, so the speed of progress was very fast, and soon, I went out of the North City Gate.

Fifty miles to the north of Beiling City is a lonely jungle. To enter Beichuan, you first have to walk through this jungle.

In the northern cold land, spring and summer are short, and most of the year is cold winter, when winter has not yet come, only the endless dead branches and rotten leaves, and occasionally a few green pines.

In the silent forest, a large group of people and horses walked in groups of two or three, and from time to time, they would see many cultivators passing by, they all had a common goal, that is, the Gu Immortal Ruins in Beichuan, right now, the Gu Immortal Ruins were about to open in a few months, so most of the cultivators had already left.

Xiao Ze shuttled through the jungle with the mercenary group and met many cultivators, but these people didn't care about this mercenary team, so no one found out that there was still such a master as Xiao Ze in the team.

It's just out of Beiling City now, and the surroundings are quite safe, but they have just entered the deep forest, and generally speaking, they won't encounter danger.

However, when you go deeper than 200 miles, you have to be careful when walking, and some fierce birds and beasts will gradually appear. Beichuan's fierce birds and beasts are not comparable to ordinary places, this is a bitter cold place, there are not many fierce birds and beasts, but all the fierce beasts that live here, all are fierce and abnormal, ordinary hires If they want to explore here, as long as they go deep three hundred miles away, they must go together, unless they are advanced masters. Otherwise, no one would dare to go three hundred miles away alone.

"Mo Han's people, they have all paid attention to me, and now that they have entered the forest, they all give me a little vigilance!" Song Shao, the head of the Mo Han mercenary group, was walking in front, chatting casually with the three directors of the Wanbao Pavilion, and suddenly noticed that the subordinates behind him were not the slightest vigilant, although there was basically no danger here, but after all, this was a mission, and in front of him, the young head of the mercenary group, and the three directors of the Wanbao Pavilion, he was so unscrupulous. made him feel a little swept away. Suddenly made him a little annoyed, and immediately put on the majesty of the young commander.

"Yes, Young Commander!" Listening to the words of Young Commander Song, the fifty big men behind him knew. Their young regiment leader was a little unhappy. Suddenly became serious. Speak in unison.

"Damn, isn't it just a Qi cultivator who has entered the ranks, what a Diao!" looked at the young head of Song Shao, who was pretending to be majestic. A hired man beside Xiao Ze suddenly scolded in a low voice.

This is a cultivator, and there is a cloud of true qi floating in his body, but his cultivation is really not very good, and it is estimated that he will not want to enter the rank in this life. Like Xiao Ze, he was hired by Gu Maid alone, not from the Mohan mercenary group, so he was very unaccustomed to the habits of this young leader, and naturally he was not very convinced by him in his heart.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Xiao Ze swept over the young leader, he was a careful person, from the words and deeds of the young leader, he could judge that the character of this young head of Song would not be good.

Shaking his head, Xiao Ze slowly withdrew his gaze, he didn't have much interest in the Mohan mercenary group, his purpose was just to blend in with the crowd and enter Beichuan.

When they first entered the forest, everything was quite calm, but I don't know whether to say that Xiao Ze was unlucky, or what, when they went deep into the forest, a fierce tiger suddenly sprang out of the silent forest.

This tiger is nearly two years long, about one zhang high, and its body size is as big as a bull, which is not comparable to ordinary tigers at first sight. As soon as it appeared, it bit a person beside Xiao Ze fiercely, but fortunately, this person reacted quickly, flashed to the side, and avoided the tiger's mouth.

But Xiao Ze next to him was not so lucky, the fierce tiger did not bite the prey, and aimed at Xiao Ze again. Xiao Ze, who was inescapable, fought directly with the tiger.

Leaping forward, Xiao Ze took a step back, and at the same time, his right fist clenched and smashed the skull of the fierce tiger. The fierce tiger was in pain, his head was smashed to the ground by Xiao Zesheng, and his two front legs were even more shocked and knelt down, and a trace of blood flowed out of his mouth and nose.

Although this tiger is just an ordinary fierce beast, but the instinct of life is still there, Xiao Ze's fierce punch made it understand that this is not the prey in its eyes, but a more powerful Cunda, if it does not escape now, I am afraid it will become a prey.

The fierce tiger didn't dare to stay, turned around and fled, but Xiao Ze didn't stop it. If he wanted to, then just hitting the tiger on the head was enough to kill it, but Xiao Ze didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't do his best.

At this time, many hires came over and praised Xiao Ze!

"Little brother, it's really a natural power, and he actually resisted Beichuan's unique Beichuan Tiger and beat it away. ”

"Tsk, you are so strong at a young age, and you will be able to pay it back in the future?"

Xiao Ze's performance has attracted repeated praise from the hiring door. At first, these hires saw Xiao Ze's age, and they still had some doubts about him, and they didn't understand why Wanbao Pavilion invited him, but now everyone understands that they have real strength.

As long as you can show the strength to convince him, no matter how old you are, they will be in awe of you, and the strength that Xiao Ze just showed was not weaker than them at all, so they naturally rearranged Xiao Ze's position in their hearts.

For these compliments, Xiao Ze just smiled slightly, and didn't take it to heart, he put his position very right, it was impossible to get dizzy because of a few words of praise, just a tiger, not even a demon beast, no big deal.

"Be quiet, what kind of body is it that shouting and screaming!" Suddenly a voice broke the applause here, and I saw the young leader of the Mohan mercenary group, facing Xiao Ze and his party, frowned and scolded.

"Damn, I really treat myself as a green onion!" These lone hires are usually unconstrained and used to being free and loose, and they were suddenly reprimanded by the young group of the Mohan mercenary group, and they were naturally very unhappy in their hearts, but because of his identity as the young head of the group, they didn't dare to confront him in person, so they could only curse in a low voice below.

Xiao Ze's brows were also slightly furrowed, and he also had a trace of disgust for this young head of Song, this guy was a little too wide.

Of course, Xiao Ze couldn't be as knowledgeable as this kind of person, so he slowly withdrew his gaze and stepped forward again, but he had just taken a few steps, and when he passed by the young head of the Mohan mercenary group, he was blocked by the young head of the Mohan mercenary group.

With a slight frown, Xiao Ze turned his head, looked at the young head of Song, and said with a smile: "Young leader, is there something?"

"Hehe, I don't have any malice, I just see that the little brother is skilled, and my Mohan mercenary group has always been eager to seek talents. I don't know if the little brother is interested in joining our Mohan mercenary group? We have a good treatment for a young and promising outstanding member like the little brother. The young leader of the Mohan mercenary group smiled slightly, and said with a gentle smile.

Unexpectedly, the young head of the Mohan mercenary group actually had the intention of wooing, Xiao Ze touched his chin, shook his head, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm used to being a casual person, and I don't want to join any organization or force, so I'm afraid I'll disappoint the young head of Song." ”

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, in the future, the little brother has figured it out, you can come to my Mohan mercenary group at any time, and the door of my group will always be open for the little brother. The young leader of the Mohan mercenary group smiled, not angry at Xiao Ze's refusal.

Xiao Ze smiled slightly apologetically, flashed the young leader of the Mohan mercenary group, and then followed the mercenary team and continued to move forward.

Looking at Xiao Ze in front of him, the young leader of the Mohan mercenary group's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of chill in his eyes, obviously, he was rejected by Xiao Ze, and his heart was not as kind as it seemed.

The team moved on, and after the episode just now, the hires were much quieter and more vigilant, but there were no accidents in the rest of the trip.

By the time the sun was about to set in the west, the procession had traveled more than 200 miles. Originally, according to the speed of the team, when it was completely dark, it would be possible to travel at least another fifty miles, but after going deeper than two hundred miles, this forest began to become dangerous.

For the sake of safety, the young leader of the Mohan mercenary group discussed with the three principals of the Wanbao Pavilion to suspend the advance, set up camp on the periphery tonight, and wait until dawn tomorrow before continuing to advance.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, more than twenty tents were quickly set up, and the young head of the Mohan mercenary group and the three directors of the Wanbao Pavilion each lived in one tent, while the others hired one room for each of the five people.

Sharing an account with Xiao Ze are four lone employees, they do not belong to the Mohan mercenary group, the four seem to have a good relationship with each other, and they are often brothers. The reason why Xiao Ze chose to live with these four people was because these four people were not only hired, but also cultivators, and Xiao Ze would feel more or less intimate with them.

The strength of these four people is naturally nothing to Xiao Ze, after all, they have not yet entered the ranks, but looking at the fifty lone employees, they are the strongest people, after getting along with each other during the day, Xiao Ze found that these people are not bad, and he is quite compatible with these four people.

In the far north, the days are always short.

The cold wind was howling, and the night in the northern cold land was very cold, and most of the hired people entered the tent early to avoid the cold.

It is difficult to see the stars at night in the north, and in the dark sky, only a bright moon hangs high, and the bright moonlight blends with the northern sky, and in this cold night, it is also a little chilly. (To be continued......)
