Chapter 54: A Chance Encounter with an Armor-Breaking Army

After leaving the city gate, Qin Chen and Luo Shi'an limped and ran directly towards the deep mountains.

To say that this Qingyuan County is the political, economic and cultural center of Qingyuan County, no matter what, this road is still good, there is a road in the north of the city, which leads directly to Chen Guoguo.

The reason why Qin Chen didn't take the avenue was also because he had his own considerations.

First of all, since last night, the people of Qingyuan County and the people north of the county began to flee one after another, their main target is Chen Guoguo, as the national capital, of course, the defense is stronger than Qingyuan County, so there are not a few people who take the avenue, this avenue must be crowded, very difficult to walk.

Secondly, there are also some demon beast kings in the demon clan whose wisdom is no less than that of humans, and the beast tide is to put it bluntly, it is swept from south to north, and the avenue is a bright light in the night, a very obvious live target, and it must be taken care of by the demon beasts.

Although the demon beasts in the mountains can exert 100% combat power, Qin Chen believes in his own strength, and there are many trees in the mountains, which can be used as a good cover.

Qin Chen didn't know until just now that the Qingyuan County Town of Lu Dao was a city built at the top of a mountain range, and behind the county seat was a small mountain range that spanned from east to west, and the avenue was directly through the mountain range to connect the capital of Chen Guoguo. It's not that Qin Chen is ignorant, it's that Qin Chen has never been to the northern end of Qingyuan County, so how can he know about these things.

Since the Qingyuan County City was breached, an hour has passed, in order to get rid of the demon beasts, Qin Chen and Luo Shi'an chose to move west along this small mountain range, the demon beasts are swept north, if you are lucky, you can not encounter any demon beasts.

Chen Guo is located in the southwest corner of the entire land of the Hundred Kingdoms, and Qin Chen didn't know what the westernmost part was, but just now Luo Shiping gave Qin Chen an answer.

That is the Xiyi Hundred Tribes, speaking of which, the Xiyi Hundred Tribes are also a branch of the Human Race, and this matter can be traced back to a long distance.

The land of the Hundred Kingdoms has been invaded by demon beasts since ancient times. But for what is it to rebuild civilization on the ruins again and again, it is all thanks to the existence of Xiyi.

Xiyi is a general term for the vast land west of the land of a hundred countries, which is located in the wilderness, full of poisonous snakes and beasts, and the environment is extremely sinister, the key is that there is not even a trace of aura, so the demon beasts never go here.

And every time the beast tide breaks out, there is always a large number of people from the land of the hundred countries pouring into this land, and after the demon beasts retreat, they return to the land of the hundred countries. Rebuild your civilization and build a whole new kingdom.

But there are no absolutes in the world, not everyone wants to go back, in the eyes of these people, although Xiyi has no aura and the environment is harsh, but there is no invasion of demon beasts, it can be regarded as a treasure land, why go back to the land of a hundred countries, let demon beasts destroy their new civilization again and again.

So some people stayed. Once or twice, more and more people stayed, and gradually formed the special place of the Xiyi Hundred Tribes, and they can be regarded as a branch of the Land of the Hundred Kingdoms. But let's be honest, no one can remember this land unless the beast tide breaks out. Not only that, after thousands of years of development, the Xiyi people are still living an ignorant life. Living in a treehouse, hunting for a living, and forming its own unique civilization.

What Qin Chen didn't expect was that the westernmost part of the small mountain range he was in was the territory of the Xiyi Hundred Clans. This is a great temptation for Qin Chen, to go or not to go.

After thinking about it again and again, Qin Chen made a decision, or not to go, although going there can save a life 100%, but this is by no means what Qin Chen wants, watching the demon beasts destroy their own civilization, and then go back to rebuild, this kind of aggrieved life is definitely not what Qin Chen wants, he wants to go to the north, to the Great Qi Kingdom, where it is possible for him to break through to the Spirit Realm, and he has an old relationship with Master Du.

Unlike Qin Chen, Luo Shiping decided to go to the Xiyi Hundred Clan, he didn't have Qin Chen's outstanding strength, and he also had to take care of Luo Shi'an, so he didn't want to take risks.

After telling Qin Chen about his decision, Qin Chen only felt pity, but he didn't force anything, after all, Luo Shiping's words were still very reasonable.

But before Luo Ye died, he hoped that he could take care of these two brothers, Qin Chen couldn't just abandon them, and decided to send them to the Xiyi Hundred Clans first, and then go north by himself.

After an hour, Luo Shiping felt that his physical strength had dropped very seriously, in order to take care of him, Qin Chen decided to rest for a while, besides, there were no demon beasts chasing after him, thinking that his group would be safe for the time being.

This place was already in the extreme west, and besides, there were only some wild beasts in this mountain, Qin Chen was certainly not afraid, so he lit a fire.

At night, the mountains are exceptionally quiet, except for the sound of the wind, only the howl of wild wolves. The firewood not far away was thrown by Qin Chen on the fire and made a crackling sound, the two children Huihui and Luo Shi'an fell asleep, Qin Bai ran into the depths of the woods to forage for food, and there were only two people who remained silent next to the fire.

Perhaps because he felt that the atmosphere was too oppressive, Luo Shi'an wiped his spear and opened the topic, "Brother Qin, do you remember the first time we met? That was when I thought you were just a country boy with natural powers, it's really ridiculous to think about it now!"

Qin Chen smiled, "Whether it's a country boy or a martial artist in the Nine Realms of Body Refining, there is nothing wrong with one thing, that is, I treat you as a friend, and this will not change." ”

The two sides opened the chatterbox, and they couldn't stop, laughing from time to time, breaking through this gloomy era.

Finally, Luo Shiping asked the question, "Brother Qin, how did my father die, and what did he say before he died?"

Qin Chen added a few more dead branches and sighed, "At that time, we were surrounded by demon beasts, and we still had the strength to fight, but the other party's ninth-level demon beasts made a move, it was five, Luo Junshou knew that he couldn't hold it, so he sent me off the city wall, and his words before he died were to let me take you two out of the city safely." ”

Luo Shiping scratched his forehead, "It's really like my father's temper, I swear not to take a step back, he was this temper in the army at the beginning, so he was squeezed down, I didn't expect it to be like this now, this is also a well-deserved death." ”

There was another silence on both sides.

This time, it was Qin Chen who spoke first, "By the way, Brother Luo, what are your plans after you arrive at the Xiyi Hundred Clans?"

"Plans?" Luo Shiping stretched, "To be honest, I don't want to stay in the Xiyi Hundred Tribes for the rest of my life, after raising my younger brother, I will be a martial artist who specializes in hunting demon beasts, I know that my strength is very small." But as long as it's helpful to humanity, I'll do it even to death. ”

Despite his careless words, Qin Chen still felt the determination in it, and it seemed that Luo Ye's death still had a great impact on him.

After that, the two sides talked about some more, but they were all inconsequential trivial matters, and after the last Luo Shiping fell asleep, Qin Chen began to keep vigil.

There was nothing to do all night, and it was dawn in the blink of an eye.

The sky is bright, the morning dew is manifesting, and the birds are foraging. The evil beast returned to the cage, the heaven and the earth were quiet, the first sun rose, looking at the rising sun slowly emerging from the mountains, Qin Chen didn't know why he had a special feeling, this scene that he didn't know how many times he had seen now seemed very different.

Unconsciously, Qin Chen focused all his attention on the rising sun, watching it emerge from between the peaks with a head, and then revealing its body. After the most lu, he completely got rid of the cage of the mountain peak, and after the most lung, he rose higher and higher, floating to the sky, and the light was dazzling. After just looking at it for a moment, Qin Chen's eyes couldn't stop with tears. In Qin Chen's eyes, the rising sun seemed to have life, and the lively elves were scurrying around in the sun, but when he looked at it carefully. There was nothing left, and the sun was particularly dazzling for a while.

Qin Chen had no choice but to retract his gaze, but he felt that something had changed in himself. Looking inwardly at one's own body, one's cultivation is still the same, without the slightest growth. I clenched my fists, and my strength didn't necessarily change. Qin Chen looked at himself for a long time and didn't see any changes, so he withdrew his thoughts, no matter what, in short, he didn't have any impact on himself, so he didn't care about it.

After a while, Luo Shiping also woke up, looking at Qin Chen, who was still sticking to his post, he smiled apologetically, I don't know why I slept very well last night, and I didn't get up until now, which was absolutely unimaginable in the past.

Qin Chen didn't care, he woke up Huihui and Qin Bai, but that Luo Shi'an woke up by himself.

After a casual meal, everyone hit the road again. The road was still calm, and there were no demon beasts chasing after them, and the beasts that were already in the mountains felt the breath that Qin Chen exuded, and each turtle cowered in their nests, and they didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, it could be said that Qin Chen was the mountain god in this mountain, and he was patrolling his territory.

There was nothing to do all the way, the road was safe and sound, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening, at this time they were about to walk out of the small mountain range, this is nothing unusual, this mountain range is originally small, there is no existence of demon beasts, plus Qin Chen and Luo Shiping are martial artists, with strong physique and fast feet, so they can walk the entire mountain range in one day and half of the night.

At this time they were already at the base of a small peak in the westernmost part of the mountain range. A few steps further is the territory of the Xiyi Hundred Tribes.

Qin Chen and Luo Shiping glanced at each other and walked together.

Walking out of the mountain range in a few steps, Qin Chen hadn't breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly a black shadow seemed to attack himself, Qin Chen was furious, a sideways flashed over, the black shadow went straight to a tree and stuck it in the tree, Qin Chen only then realized that this was just a crossbow arrow.

Qin Chen was still thinking about what was going on, and the person who made the sneak attack ran out.

I saw more than a dozen soldiers in military uniforms holding crossbow arrows surrounding from all directions.

If it was an ordinary soldier, of course Qin Chen wouldn't care, but now he was in a twelve-point spirit, not because of the crossbow arrows in their hands, but because Qin Chen felt the breath of a martial artist from their bodies, these dozen or so soldiers were not ordinary people, each of them was a martial artist.

The momentum in the field was very severe, and the battle was about to break out, Qin Chen and Luo Shiping both grabbed the weapons in their hands, as long as the other party made a move, they would immediately fight back.

Fortunately, that step hadn't happened yet, but a rough voice came, "Isn't this Luo Boy?" Immediately after that, a strong man with a beard who was at least two meters tall, had a strong physique, and had dark skin walked out of the crowd.

After Luo Shiping saw the visitor, he showed a very surprised expression, and then showed a big smile, signaled Qin Chen to put down his weapon, and greeted the strong man with a smile: "Uncle Beard, why are you here?"

"It's not just me, the entire army of the Chen Kingdom is here. Hey, put the bolts down, it's your own. The latter sentence was said to his companion, and it could be seen that the bearded man was very majestic in this group of people, and the people around him did not hesitate to put down the crossbow arrows in their hands.

After Luo Shiping's explanation, Qin Chen realized that these were all armor-breaking troops, and he thought about it, except for the armor-breaking army, all of them were composed of warriors. This bearded strong man is also a remarkable person, and he is actually the guard of Marshal Yuan Shiqi of the Armor-Breaking Army, and he is quite respected. Qin Chen thought about it for a while and believed it, because the military uniforms on these soldiers were somewhat similar to the armor on Luo Ye's body last night, and Luo Ye once said that he was a member of the armor-breaking army, and after contacting it, Qin Chen naturally believed it.

Since it is his own person, there is no need to be tense, and a crisis will be resolved invisibly.

The bearded soldier had a good relationship with Luo Shiping, firstly, Luo Ye was originally a member of the Armor-Breaking Army, and secondly, the Armor-Breaking Army would go to Qingyuan County every year to replenish resources and blood.

The bearded soldier let the others continue to guard, and he led Qin Chen and his party towards the rear. One by one, the soldiers scurried towards the trees, and in an instant they disappeared into the dense foliage.

It turned out that these were all scouts of the armor-breaking army, their reconnaissance ability was unique, and the cultivation exercises also had the effect of hiding their aura, no wonder even Qin Chen did not find their traces, it can be seen that there are countless capable people in this world, and he still has a long way to go.

Continuing to walk forward for about a pillar of incense, this bearded man seemed to have a very cheerful personality, talking about things along the way. Even Qin Chen, who usually doesn't talk much, said a lot. After hearing about Luo Ye, he was silent for a while, but then said that this was the chief he admired, and then chatted.

After coming out of the woods, Qin Chen was stunned by the scene in front of him. I saw a huge lake, vast and boundless. Qin Chen looked left and right and didn't see where its boundary was, all kinds of waterfowl on the lake were happily preying on the fat fish, and the sunset was reflected in the lake, not to mention how beautiful this scene was.

Qin Chen originally thought that most of the Xiyi tribes were wild lands. I didn't expect that there was such a beautiful scene, except that there was no aura, it was not inferior to the land of a hundred countries. Of course, Qin Chen could also understand those who wanted to rebuild the land of the Hundred Kingdoms. Although the Xiyi Hundred Tribes are good, they have no aura and are not suitable for the survival of warriors.

And by the lake, I saw tall tents rising from the ground, groups of soldiers in and out, the lights were bright, this was a huge military camp, judging by its size and the number of people must be more than 10,000.

After having the bearded soldier to lead the way, they entered the barracks very easily, the bearded man is also a straightforward person, without the slightest hesitation, went straight to the largest tent in the middle, this scene made Qin Chen in a trance, remembering the archaeology that changed his fate in his previous life, the same tent, the same tall fat man.

Entering the tent, Qin Chen saw the legendary marshal of the armor-breaking army, this was a person who did not match his imagination at all, with a fair face, a slender figure, and a small beard on his chin, no matter how he looked at it, he was a noble son, Qin Chen really couldn't associate this with the legendary marshal of the armor-breaking army.

He thought so in his heart, but on the surface, Qin Chen definitely didn't dare to divulge a single thing, he felt a danger from this marshal, this was a martial artist who was not weaker than himself.

Yuan Shiqi didn't have the slightest shelf, and after knowing Luo Ye's story, he behaved very calmly and smiled bitterly, "When I wrote to your father, he said at that time that he would live and die with Qingyuan County, and he lost to me back then, so before he died, he also had to get the title of "Loyal to the Country" and press himself. ”

When he saw Qin Chen, he sighed at Qin Chen's cultivation and said that it was terrifying, and then he didn't say anything.

It is indeed remarkable that Qin Chen cultivated to the ninth level of the Body Refining Realm at such a young age, but it is not for nothing that the land of a hundred countries is not nothing, and breaking through to the Transforming Spirit Realm is the key, many demons have cultivated to the Ninth Fold of the Refining Realm at a young age, and they did not break through to the Transformation Realm until they were forty or fifty years old.

That night, Yuan Shiqi held a small reception banquet for these people, at the banquet Yuan Shiqi euphemistically asked a few people about their next plans, Luo Shiping immediately said that he wanted to follow Yuan Shiqi, everyone understands the truth of enjoying the shade under the big tree, he wants to become a monster killer, Yuan Shiqi's help is indispensable, and he also has his younger brother, Yuan Shiqi has such a strong strength, and he can definitely stand in the Xiyi Hundred Clans.

And Qin Chen said that he was going to the north and to the Great Qi Kingdom.

Yuan Shiqi expressed regret and gave up if he couldn't force it. But after telling Qin Chen to be careful, this beast tide was extraordinary.

Qin Chen hurriedly asked, and Yuan Shiqi told him that the original Chen State army had more than 20,000 people, but they lost nearly 10,000 people on the way to the Xiyi Hundred Tribes, all of which were scattered by the beast tide.

After saying that he would be extremely careful, Yuan Shiqi would not be verbose, if it weren't for Qin Chen sending his old friend's two sons over, Yuan Shiqi would never have said a word to Qin Chen.

Early the next morning, by the lake in the north of the barracks, Yuan Shiqi and Luo Shiping saw off Qin Chen here, and after Qin Chen said goodbye to them one by one, he took Huihui and Qin Bai into the dense forest and walked towards the legendary Great Qi Kingdom.

After Yuan Shiqi saw Qin Chen completely gone, he turned back to Luo Shiping, "Nephew, I will see this Qin brother in the future, and I will be close to him." ”

Seeing that Luo Shiping was a little puzzled, Yuan Shiqi just smiled and didn't explain much.

And in the dense forest, Qin Chen turned his head, looked at Yuan Shiqi, who had only one black spot left, and sighed, "This person is not simple. (To be continued......)
