All the way north.
Qingfeng County.
Hundreds of miles away.
Close to the last mountain ridge of Yongning Prefecture City.
The weather changes at will.
Lightning flashed across the long night.
The rain is coming.
A piece of bear skin was skillfully peeled off by Jiang Shu.
The flame flickered, and soon the fragrance of Variant Ferocious Beast filled the air.
The level of this Variant Ferocious Beast is not high, but it looks like First Order. It is bear-shaped, but its ears are like those of a fox, and it is extremely sensitive to surrounding sounds.
It was Variant Ferocious Beast, Fox Bear that Qi Yuan invited Jiang Shu to eat!
"Brother Shang, your grilled meat is so delicious."
In the cave.
A woman about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a yellow gown, smiled lightly and said to Jiang Shu.
Next to the woman, there are two men with weak crowns and above guarding her. The eyes that looked at Jiang Shu were defensive.
"Come here, no need to be polite, just take what you need."
"I traded the map from you, so I should express my gratitude."
Although he got a map to Yongning Prefecture City from Old Man Chou, the map was too crude, causing him to miss the road several times.
It wasn't until a few days ago that I met the two men and one woman in the mountains, and Jiang Shu learned from them that they were also heading to Yongning Prefecture City.
And he has a relatively complete map in his hand.
Hereby exchange it.
Of course, how can you use your real name when you are away from home?
The two names Shang Jibei and Shou Junming were mixed together and became his new name: Shang Junming.
"If I had met Brother Shang earlier, I would have had better food along the way."
"And Brother Shang, you are so strong. Even the second-level Variant Ferocious Beast was cut down by Qin with two swords. If you hadn't said that you didn't know the way to the county town, I would have thought you were a warrior in the county town. It is said that the warriors in the county town are completely different from the warriors in our county town. They are better, and they have directly mastered the middle-level martial arts."
"Everyone is very powerful. But I think no matter how powerful they are, they can only be as good as you Brother Shang."
The Huangshan woman's voice sounded bitchy.
After exchanging maps, Jiang Shu had already separated from them. Unexpectedly, they got together again in the cave to avoid the rain.
He frowned, not many times.
According to the chat at the time, the Huangshan woman's name was Zhang Ruo, and she was the granddaughter of the owner of a martial arts gym named Qingfeng County. Because she broke through to Bone Forging at a very young age, her grandfather was very happy and wrote a letter asking her to go to the county and join the family.
It's just that my grandfather Qi and Blood has declined and is too old to be escorted.
The father in the family has average talent and is lazy in martial arts. He is just Skin Grinding Realm.
Therefore, those who escorted her all the way were two senior brothers from the martial arts school.
He is also very talented, a leader in the martial arts school, and can join the big family in the county.
Obviously, Qingfeng County's martial arts level is slightly higher than Pingling County's.
At least in Pingling County, Jiang Shu, I have never heard of martial arts disciples, and there are no disciples who have reached Bone Forging.
"Junior sister, be careful when you go out."
Zhang Ruo hasn't reached out to take the meat skewers yet.
Her flower protector brother Li Qi took the meat skewers and carefully tested them with a silver needle.
Jiang Shu didn't care when he saw it, and quickly finished Fox Bear's meat. He hid in the depths of the cave alone, squatting and breathing in the shadows, constantly eating Hungry Tiger Howling Mountain Force.
Zhang Ruo, maybe there is no bad intention.
Just like some girls in schools in previous lives, they just like to be bitchy and attract the attention of boys.
But this method doesn't work for him.
He also didn't want to get involved in the competition between the two senior brothers.
When the rain stopped, he parted ways with them.
"Damn, something doesn't look right today! It's raining today, I'm afraid it won't stop. Hey, there are people in the cave."
Jiang Shu Just a few minutes after he was stable, several figures rushed into the cave.
They had an extremely strong smell of blood on their bodies, and they all carried one or two second-order Variant Ferocious Beast on their backs. Apparently he was also the warrior hunting Variant Ferocious Beast in the mountains and forests.
"We're just here to take shelter from the rain. Just squeeze in and get a seat."
Li Qi and junior brother Zhao Zhen looked at each other for a few times. They stood in front of junior sister Zhang Ruo, with the knives in their hands already drawn out.
The five warriors in front of them said they were taking shelter from the rain, but when they were out, who could be trusted?
There are not many lives under the hands of the warriors outside.
Outside the cave.
The wind suddenly picked up and the rain poured down.
There was the sound of wind, rain, thunder, and the howling of Variant Ferocious Beast from time to time.
In a cave that is not big.
Nine people huddled together.
The atmosphere was anxious.
Lightning and flames illuminate every face from time to time.
Zhang Ruo frowned. After the five big men rushed in, there were two or three big men who kept looking at her.
Moreover, perhaps in order to better protect her, senior brothers Li Qi and Zhao Zhen were getting closer to her.
This made her even more uncomfortable.
Normally, she would have screamed.
But now, she endured it, touched the small whip on her waist, and felt calm in her heart.
No matter what, she and her senior brother are both warriors of Bone Forging.
No matter how excessive the five big men in front are, they cannot go too far.
However, this was ultimately wishful thinking on her part.
The warriors in the county were too stable.
You never know what's going on outside.
Jiang Shu Along the way, several warriors who had no eyesight died in his hands.
"Which county does this girl live in? I often go to several counties near Old Yuan. Maybe we will have a chance to meet her again in the future?"
A dark-faced man suddenly spoke, and he looked at Zhang Ruo without any concealment.
"We belong to Yongning Prefecture City!"
Zhao Zhen was the first to speak. What he has to do now is to calm the other party.
Moreover, they are not lying.
Junior sister, I originally wanted to go to the county town.
"Yongning Prefecture City, then it's at least ten days away, so far away?"
"Brother Yuan, this man is cheating on you. I seem to have seen this man before, in Qingfeng County's gambling shop. I guess these guys all belong to Qingfeng County."
"Qingfeng County."
Yuan Yong touched his beard and his eyes began to wander.
Zhang Ruo The three of them never expected that their identities would be exposed all of a sudden.
For a moment, the atmosphere was tense.
Zhao Zhen holds the knife.
Li Qi frowned, still unwilling to fight.
After all, there were five people on the opposite side, and the three of them did not have a numerical advantage.
And among the three, only he has the highest level, but he has tempered his upper and lower limbs.
As for the five people on the opposite side, although they don't know what their realm is, one of the Variant Ferocious Beast they are hunting is the top existence in the second level!
I am no match for you!
So...
He changed his mind and said, "Junior brother and I are both Qingfeng County people, but our profession is just to escort this young lady back to Yongning Prefecture City."
He and his junior brother often go out after practicing martial arts.
But Zhang Ruo is different. She has only practiced martial arts in her own compound since she was a child, rarely seeing anyone.
Even the brothers in the martial arts hall are rarely seen.
He didn't believe that among these five people, there was still someone who could recognize Zhang Ruo.
Create an identity out of thin air.
Thinking about these five people, they would also have some scruples.
Li Qi's face is not red but his heart is not beating.
Behind her, Zhang Ruo was extremely nervous. She held the small whip and couldn't help but look deep into the cave. Jiang Shu was still standing firmly and breathing.
"Yuan Yong, calm down!"
The leader suddenly spoke. He is the only warrior in the entire team who is not carrying Variant Ferocious Beast on his back, and holds a long knife in his hand. After arriving at the cave, they were all silent.
As if he noticed the change in Zhang Ruo's gaze, he moved his gaze deeper into the cave for the first time and saw Jiang Shu.
He frowned.
At this time, the rain in the mountains and forests came and went quickly.
It had only been a quarter of an hour before it had already stopped.
"Leave!"
The leader speaks cleanly and neatly, then walks away with his legs up.
Obviously, he has absolute say in the team.
As soon as he left, behind him, Yuan Yong, who had always had thoughts about Zhang Ruo, looked at the three of them fiercely, stamped his feet hard, and followed closely.
The five people walked further and further away.
It wasn't until we were extremely far away from the cave that Yuan Yong couldn't help but speak, "Brother Qu, those three people are obviously young, what's there to be afraid of? I don't think that girl is from the county. As soon as I finished speaking, I became nervous."
"There's another one inside, very strong."
"The most important thing for us during this time is to deliver the things! When we get to the county town, Yan Yulou will have plenty for you to play with."
A man named Qu is concise and concise.
"Besides, if that little girl is really a Yongning Prefecture City person, you can always find her if you inquire carefully in the future. If she really has an identity, we are lucky not to provoke her this time."
"If you can't find it, go back to Qingfeng County to look for it. It's a good meal, so don't be afraid of being late."
"Okay, just listen to Brother Qu. I know there is a man in there, but I didn't expect that Brother Qu would have such a high opinion of him. But come to think of it, he is so powerful that he will not be your opponent Brother Qu. You are really only one step away from the Viscera Training Realm."
"This mission has been sent, Brother Qu you can join Yao Family."
"Being appreciated, Middle-Grade Martial Art, there is still a chance."
cave.
After the five big men left.
The atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Everyone is different.
Zhao Zhen glared at Jiang Shu, secretly angry at Jiang Shu, and remained silent.
In his eyes, with Jiang Shu's strength, once they speak out, they will definitely be fine at that time.
Li Qi has the same view, but he is better at hiding his emotions.
Anyway, those five people are gone, so one more thing is worse than one less thing.
Only Zhang Ruo, who had been paying attention to the leader among the five, could vaguely guess that the leader might have chosen not to take action because he was concerned about the existence of Jiang Shu.
This "Shang Junming", looking at it this way, even if he is not from the county, he is still a rare genius in the county.
At least, my two senior brothers definitely don't have this ability!
Moreover, this "Shang Junming" looks like it is about the same size as myself.
Talent is terrifying!
If we recruit them Zhang Family...
Maybe I can get a firm foothold directly!
"Brother Shang, those five people just now, we may meet again on the road. So, little sister, can you please follow us all the time. You are also heading to the county town, and we are all on the same road."
"Secondly, I'm not asking you for a trip in vain. My travel expenses and accommodation will be all paid by my little sister. Although my little sister doesn't have any middle-grade martial arts, she has three top-grade martial arts. Brother Shang If you don't mind, you can choose at will."
"Moreover, my little sister's family, Zhang Family, is a wealthy family in the county. When I was a child, I followed my grandfather to the county, so I have some understanding of it. Brother Shang is going to the county. If there is anything you want to know along the way, you can ask me. I will answer everything I know."
All the way.
Although I have only met twice.
But Zhang Ruo thinks that he can judge people fairly accurately.
If it were an ordinary invitation, Shang Junming would definitely not agree.
Only advantage attracts others.
Moreover, we get to know each other better along the way and build a sense of familiarity with each other.
Lay the foundation in advance to win over yourself in the future.
"Yes."
A long while.
After running for a week, Jiang Shu spoke, "You just said that Zhang Family is a big family in the county. What other big families are there in the county?"
Jiang Shu responds.
First, follow the map. On the map ahead, there will be no mountains and forests, the road will be flat, and the danger will be reduced. I am just doing a favor to go along with the flow.
Second, you can also understand the distribution of forces in the county in advance.
He only knows now that the address where Old Man Chou asked him to send the letter, Zhao Family, is most likely a wealthy family.
I don't know anything else.
"Zhao Family, Li Family, Sun Family, Wang Family, Zhou Family...Yao Family, Zhang Family."
At the end of the registration, Zhang Ruo said Zhang Family: "This is how it is divided according to the size of the power. But in fact, the smallest Zhang Family has several strong Viscera Training Realm."
"All the big families have middle-grade Cultivation Method martial arts. It is also this that attracts many geniuses from the county to come to the county. Because only by practicing Middle-Grade Cultivation Method can it be possible to become a Viscera Training Realm strong person."
"Middle-Grade Cultivation Method is also called True Force Cultivation Method. But the control is also very strict. Like our Zhang Family, only the true geniuses of the family can learn it. Foreign geniuses have to undergo a series of tests. It is best to marry our Zhang Family women and give birth to children before they can be taught."
Pingling County There is news that many warriors never know.
Here at Zhang Ruo, you can find it at your fingertips.
The rain stopped.
sunrise.
The four of them hit the road.
Although Li Qi and Zhao Zhen are unhappy with Jiang Shu.
But among the three, Zhang Ruo is the one who can make the most decisions.
For the two of them, if they want to learn True Force Cultivation Method in the future, they also need to rely on whether Zhang Ruo can say a few good words for them in the future.
Therefore, naturally I dare not say anything more.
Smooth ride.
Pass through counties with different cultures and customs.
In just ten days.
A huge river about a hundred meters wide lay in front of Jiang Shu and others.
Hundreds of boats competed for the current, and countless fishermen cast nets on the river to catch fish.
On the river bank, there are also boats used to ferry people.
The four of them chose one of the ships at random.
The water flows slowly.
The boat travels quickly.
Yongning Prefecture City, a hundred times the size of Pingling County. Like a giant beast, crawling under the sunset.
In the open door.
Cars and horses come and go, and the turbulence is endless.
About to dock.
With Jiang Shu's eyesight, he can naturally see that every fisherman on the river is very skilled, and they all have a foundation in martial arts.
Every one of them is a martial arts practitioner of Qi and Blood Sensing!
On the pier, there was someone who looked like a gang member standing, Qi and Blood surging, supervising a famous fisherman, and he looked like he had stepped into the Skin Grinding Realm!
"This is the south gate of the county town Outer City. Most of the civilians inside rely on water. The largest gang is Cao Gang. It is said that it is backed by the Zhao Family. The gang leaders are the strongest beings in Bone Forging."
Got here.
Zhang Ruo's speaking voice was already extremely soft.
Even when I was a kid.
Coming here again, I was still shocked.
Ordinary people practice martial arts.
This kind of grand scene is definitely not something you can see in a small county town!
She is like that.
Not to mention Li Qi and Zhao Zhen.
They are short of breath.
Only Jiang Shu remained calm.
His eyes were very far.
Every fisherman, every gang warrior, and every pedestrian who enters the gate is under his eyes.
Compared with the Pingling County where Bone Forging can gain a firm foothold.
Here, it will be a completely different world.
This chapter is 4k. In the previous chapter, several readers were scolding Old Man Chou for his inaction. In fact, when Old Man Chou watched it in the restaurant, he was trying to hold off the battle. There was no problem with the development of the plot, but it was unsettled and unsightly. At that time, I chose to go through it smoothly because I wanted to advance the plot quickly. After all, the protagonist is strong enough to kill indiscriminately in the county town. In the setting, it is best to hide Old Man Chou's identity for a while. So, look at the follow-up orders. If this chapter gets more orders (of course readers can also comment here). The author should think carefully and revise it. After all, small modifications can easily affect subsequent overall settings. Well, that's it.
