Chapter 058 Victory Return
Yan Shi twisted his body uneasyly and said embarrassedly: "Brother Meng, can you put me down? I can leave myself."
Meng Xiang looked down at Yan Shi who was trapped under his ribs: "You can put you down, but can you guarantee that you will rush back to the meeting point on time before dark?"
"This...this...I..."
"Okay. Why is it so hard for a big man to fall in love? Besides, no one sees you now. When I go out of Sanwei Mountain, I will put you down."
After saying that, Meng Xiang poured his legs into his legs and quickly advanced in the dangerous Sanwei Mountains, crossing mountains and ridges, crossing rivers and streams, like walking on flat ground, faster than a thousand-mile horse running on flat ground.
Yan Shi, who was trapped under his ribs, only saw that everything around him flashed by. When he wanted to take a second look, they had been thrown far behind and disappeared.
While lamenting that Meng Xiang was running fast, Yan Shi felt a little uncomfortable. He followed Meng Xiang, intending to help him, but now it seems that the gap between them is getting bigger and bigger, and he can't help him at all. Until now, in order to get back as soon as possible, he has actually fallen to the point where Meng Xiang is walking with him.
In fact, Yan Shi still underestimated himself too much. In fact, he is already quite good. The reason why he thinks he is incompetent is actually because he chose the wrong comparison partner.
After all, Meng Xiang has been a human being for two lifetimes and has also won many adventures, so his strength is faster. If he is just practicing hard, he may not be much better than him.
As for Meng Xiang's ability to walk on flat ground in Sanwei Mountain, there is actually a reason. After he woke up at the bottom of the big pit, he found that he had an inexplicable perception of the rocky land.
Just like now, although many of the stones in Sanwei Mountain are very fragile and may collapse when touched, he can tell where the stones are stronger and how much force they can withstand. This is a very strange feeling, and he himself can't explain it clearly.
Meng Xiang was very fast, and in a short time, they came to the wide rift valley near. Yan Shi showed a worried look: "Brother Meng, our beef tendon rope is gone, how can this rift valley pass through?"
"What's the difficulty?" Meng Xiang laughed, looked at the surrounding environment slightly, rushed up a huge rock four or five feet high in a few steps, looked at the opposite side, and squatted down with his legs.
"Ah!" He shouted loudly, and the force of his whole body poured into his legs instantly, jumped up and flew towards the opposite side of the Rift Valley. When they were still in the air, the huge rock made a series of cracks, and then it appeared spider-web-like cracks centered on the two footprints left by Meng Xiang, which were several inches deep.
When Meng Xiang and Yan Shi jumped over the Great Rift Valley from a distance and landed at a place about twenty feet away from the edge of the Great Rift Valley, the huge rock collapsed and turned into a pile of large and small stones.
After passing the Great Rift Valley, the mountain became more and more easy to walk. After running forward for a while, Meng Xiang put Yan Shi down and walked forward together. Although the speed was slightly slower, it was still very fast.
On a small hill at the foot of Sanwei Mountain, you can see that Meng Xiang and Yan Shi stopped and turned toward a very inconspicuous valley next to the hill.
The valley is in the shape of a dustpan, large on the outside and small on the inside. Apart from some rocks, it is clear at a glance and there is nothing eye-catching. However, when Meng Xiang and Yan Shi walked into the valley, they found a group of uninvited guests.
In terms of dressing, they should be hunters participating in the hunting competition, with more than a dozen people. They were talking and laughing, and were moving prey out of a cave. Those prey were all difficult to hunt beasts and birds of prey, and they could be considered high scores in the hunting competition. This may be the reason why they were so happy.
Some people are happy, some are unhappy, and Meng Xiang and Yan Shi undoubtedly belong to the latter, because those prey belong to them. Because Meng Xiang insisted on seeing the depths of Sanwei Mountain, it was inconvenient to carry the prey, so they found a place to hide it, but others picked up the cheap ones.
Meng Xiang looked at the sun, frowned slightly, glanced at the thieves indifferently, and said coldly: "Put down your prey! Get out of here!"
A big man with a beard and strong face turned his huge eyes across Meng Xiang and Yan Shi, with disdain in his eyes and sneered: "It's you two boys. Get out! Otherwise, the uncle will crush your bones one by one."
Meng Xiang and Yan Shi didn't want to talk nonsense to them at all, so they stride towards the valley, preparing to retrieve their prey. But the big man's actions completely angered them.
When the big man saw Meng Xiang and Yan Shi ignored his warning, his face suddenly darkened, he raised his right hand high and made a gesture. The other hunters immediately stopped their work, took off the longbow on their backs, pulled it like a full moon, and pointed the cold arrow at them.
Meng Xiang's eyes narrowed into two dangerous slits, but there was no intention of pausing under his feet and continued to strode forward.
A strong murderous intent emerged on the man's face, and his hands were raised to wave down fiercely. The hunters who were placing bows and arrows let go of the bowstrings together.
With the hissing sound, more than a dozen sharp arrows with cold light shot straight towards Meng Xiang and Yan Shi, each arrow shot at their vital points, and they simply wanted to kill them.
Almost as the long arrow broke away from the bowstring, the stone under Meng Xiang's feet suddenly exploded, forming a small pit at the mouth of the washbasin, and his body rushed towards the arrows.
He interspersed with the long arrows, and then a faint blue light flew out from his waist, instantly passing by the dozen hunters' eyes. Then his body slowed down, turned his head, and said to Yan Shi, who had already shot all the long arrows to the ground: "Stone, come here quickly, don't waste any more time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dozen hunters, including the extremely strong man, fell to the ground. A red thread of hair appeared in his throat, and his eyes were filled with an incredible look.
Yan Shi frowned and came to the cave that was moved away that blocked the big stone at the entrance of the cave. He began to tie all their prey into two large bundles of more than one person in height with a cow tendon rope.
Meng Xiang waved his hand to Yan Shi and asked him to raise the bundle of prey in the valley first. He threw the killed hunters one by one into the cave where the prey was originally hidden.
When the man with a beard on his face was approaching, a strange light flashed through Meng Xiang's eyes, and the long sword on his waist suddenly shot out and slashed straight towards his neck.
Just as the blade barely hit his neck, a layer of red light suddenly appeared on his body. The long knife slashed over the red light, causing ripples like water, and the knife was blocked.
At this time, the big man also opened his eyes, turned his wrist, and a bright dagger appeared in his hand, aiming at Meng Xiang's chest and stabbed it hard.
A sneer appeared on the corner of Meng Xiang's mouth. The long knife slashed on the red light suddenly showed a yellow light, pressing it down, tearing the red light, and cutting off the head of the big man with a slight sound. The dagger that the big man stabbed, he gently flicked it with his other empty hand, and with a local sound, it broke into several pieces.
He reached into the arms of the headless corpse and touched it, and took out a pile of flints and other fragments. He probably flipped through it and found a light red jade pendant inside, half the size of a palm, with some strange patterns on it, which vaguely looked like a shield when combined.
"The talisman made by the cultivator?" Meng Xiang frowned slightly, but he quickly regained his calmness and held the talisman in front of him. There were already three thin cracks on it. "Has I used it three times?"
Meng Xiang put the red talisman in his arms, then threw the man's body and his head into the cave, threw the blood-stained stones into it, blocked the entrance of the cave with a big stone, and finally quickly cleared the valley until there was no trace, and then walked towards the entrance of the valley.
When he was about to walk out of the valley, he suddenly flashed and jumped behind a stone that was half a human tall. He reached out his hand and lifted a black hunting dog about three feet long. Before he could bark, he broke its neck.
Carrying the dead hunting dog, Meng Xiang came outside, picked up one of the two bundles of prey, put them on his shoulder, nodded to Yan Shi, and strode towards the meeting point.
I didn't meet anyone on the way, maybe the other participating hunters had already gone back. When I passed by a pack of wolves, Meng Xiang shook his hand and threw the dead hunting dog over. The wolves just hesitated for a moment, rushed forward, tore it into pieces, and swallowed it.
The results of the competition came out the next day. Although the other hunters in Maple Town did not gain much, they still relied on Meng Xiang and Yan Shi to win the first place with a slight advantage.
The mayor and the others were very happy with the result, but everything had nothing to do with Meng Xiang. What he liked was the essence of the maple tree promised by the mayor.
As for the killing of the dozen hunters, it did not cause much sensation. Although the number of people died, the number of people who died in the entire hunting competition was close to 200, and their deaths were not so conspicuous.
Three days later, all the people in Fengshu Town went back. The next time was a long celebration. Meng Xiang asked Yan Shi to attend, but he refused because he was feeling uncomfortable.
The mayor and his friends kept their word. On the day they came back, they personally sent a hundred drops of maple essence to Meng Xiang. As for his and Yan Shi's identity certificate about Maple Town, they also delivered it.
Meng Xiang picked up the bottle containing the essence of maple trees and looked at it, carefully put it in his arms, then turned around and walked back to the room, soon walked out, and walked straight to a lonely little house. The one living there was Mr. Mu, a doll who did not eat or drink.
Meng Xiang finally made up his mind to ask him for the mysterious middle-aged man’s things left by him. In his previous life, he had also obtained it, but he did not dare to open it. This time he was ready for everything.
