Naughty Gong has been restless since he came out of the town. Sitting on the black tip, he hesitated to speak. Li Qiang had already noticed that he was worried, so he asked: Is something wrong, Naughty Gong? Naughty Gong smiled bitterly and said: Boss, I want Bishi
When the two bronze brothers go back, our Mangye tribe seems to be unaware of the current changes, so the two of them should go back and report to the tribe leader to prepare for the contingency.
Li Qiang nodded and said: "Okay. Jade stone and bronze. You two should be careful about these jade talismans on your way back. You should accept the cyan ones. They are protective jade talismans. Crush them for self-defense. The red ones are for attack. Crush them and fight them immediately."
The power of going out was pretty good. The stubborn man hurriedly thanked and gave the two brothers a few words. Neither Bishi nor Bitong were willing to go back, but the news was that so many people had died inexplicably in the small town where they had to go back anyway, which made them very uneasy.
The green stone and green copper reluctantly turned the black-tipped horse and galloped towards the road.
Li Qiang and the other five were back on the road. Naughty Gong's physique had greatly changed due to taking Xiao Pei Yuan Dan, and he could barely keep up with Li Qiang's crazy driving method. Although Black Tip Cavalry is an animal that is good at long-distance running, but Li Qiang and the others are not as good as Li Qiang.
It was unbearable to gallop like this continuously. Finally, the speed of the Black Tip Cavalry slowed down. Paben shouted: Master, the Black Tip Cavalry can’t bear it, let’s slow down a bit.
After trekking through mountains and rivers for several days, I didn't see a single business traveler. Everyone seemed to be hiding. The road seemed desolate, lonely and lifeless.
On this day, Li Qiang and the others turned around a mountain pass. What suddenly opened up before everyone was an endless prairie. Only half a person's height of wild grass was swaying in the wind. Various birds of strange shapes were circling in the sky. There were also groups of unknown people in the distance.
On the west side of the Beast Grassland is a large sparse forest. Li Qiang exclaimed: Wow, it’s really spectacular.
Wan Gongdao: This is the big village in front of Tianlu Grassland. We must go to this village first to accompany other caravans. Hong Qian said: This is my first time here. I heard that this road is not easy to walk.
Paben said: I know that the monsters here in the Tianlu Grassland are second only to the wilderness. I heard that a large group of people must be gathered to pass safely. I once had a friend who walked here and chatted. I heard him say that the road is very difficult to walk.
Li Qiang smiled and said: It seems that the roads in the West Continent are not easy to walk. Look at how many things have happened along the way.
Naughty Gong smiled and said: The people of the Western Continent are strong and the geography is dangerous. It is really difficult to live here. Fortunately, we are used to it. Nashan was very curious. He touched his bald head and sighed: Damn, it feels weird here, boss.
The big guy flying in the sky looked really scary. He suddenly swallowed his saliva and said with a smile: Boss, I don’t know if the meat on that thing is delicious.
It was a huge strange bird with two pairs of black wings, a slender body, and a round head that looked a bit like an enlarged dragonfly. It was hovering in the sky like an aerial patrol. The naughty old man said: That is a frost-winged bird that cannot attack people.
It specializes in eating dead bodies. Li Qiang understood that it was a scavenger and he smiled and said: You must like the meat of Nashan. Haha. When Nashan heard that it eats dead bodies, he immediately felt sick and said: If you don’t eat it, it’s disgusting.
died.
Hong Qian pointed with his hand: The big village should be in front of us. Naughty Gong said: Yes, that is the Xizhai of Andu Village. Let's hurry up. Everyone urged the black-jian cavalry to gallop away.
Andu Village has a total of five villages on the Tianlu Grassland, which are divided into East Village, South Village, West Village, North Village and Zhongzhai. The Zhongzhai is located in the center of the Tianlu Grassland. The other four villages in the southeast, northwest and north are respectively located at the four transportation hubs entering the Tianlu Grassland.
Any person or goods entering Tianlu Grassland at the crossing must first gather at these four villages. Of course, if you don't want to die, you can go in by yourself. The carnivorous monsters in Tianlu Grassland are no joke. A few people who enter may even lose their bones.
Not found.
Tianlu Grassland is the territory of the Split Beast Clan, and Andu Village was established by them. They make money by collecting various protection fees. At the same time, they also arranged guards to ensure the safety of the five villages. Xizhai is a medium-sized village with a radius of 100 meters.
All the weeds and trees have been cleared away, and the ground is paved with gravel, which has been tamped and leveled. The outside of the village is filled with densely packed sharp wooden sticks. Some of them are as small as two people tall.
The small one is more than one meter long. The stockade is surrounded by tall wooden walls and has two floors, inside and outside. There is a tall pillar every ten meters. There is a hanging tower built on the pillar where two people can stand on it to observe the situation outside.
Now that there is no one up there, it doesn't look like the security is too strict.
All people and goods entering the village must pay money. Li Qiang and the other five people jumped off the black-pointed cavalry at the gate of the village and chatted with several big men guarding the village. Li Qiang looked around and felt that if the village was used for defense, it must be very tight.
It seems that the monsters in Tianlu Grassland are indeed extraordinary, otherwise there would be no need to build the stockade so strong. However, there are very few people guarding the stockade. Except for a few men at the entrance of the stockade, there seems to be no other guard.
After Paben paid the money, he said: Master, let's go in. The naughty old man looked around and said doubtfully: It's strange that there are too few people here. People were coming and going here all the time. Now, something is really wrong everywhere. You can hardly see it when you walk into the street of Zhaizi.
Who is this? The houses here are very unique. They all have square roofs and are supported by many thick pillars. All the rooms have no walls and are only surrounded by half wooden boards. Everyone in the room can clearly see what they are doing.
Naughty Gong randomly found an unoccupied room, tied the reins of Heijianqi on the wooden pillar outside the door, and said, "Come in, everyone." Li Qiang also tied the reins and asked strangely, "Naughty Gong, why did you enter the house so casually? Naughty Gong."
He smiled and said: You can live in the room here as long as no one is there. Paben said: All the fees have been paid when you enter the village gate.
Li Qiang walked into the room and saw that the empty floor was paved with logs. It had become extremely uneven but was polished and smooth. The color was black and red. He didn't know how many people had lived here. In the center of the room was a
The square pit was made of long stones, which was the firepit. There was a pile of firewood in the corner of the house. The naughty old man picked up a bundle and put it in the firepit. He touched his body and said embarrassedly: Oops, I didn’t bring a crystal fire starter.
.Li Qiang sat on the edge of the pit and said with a smile: I'll do it.
Li Qiang stretched out his hand to straighten the pile of firewood, propped up three thicker branches, then put up thin branches and said with a smile: These branches are all wet. The naughty man looked at the firewood in the fire pit in surprise and didn't see what kind of firewood Li Qiang used.
The fire broke out and the fire got bigger and bigger, but Li Qiang's hand was still in the fire. He shouted hurriedly, "Boss, please pull your hands away. It's burned." Li Qiang laughed and said, "Haha, the firewood is too wet. If I take my hand away, it will be too hot."
The smoke will start to rise and it will be fine if it burns for a while. The stubborn man feels like an idiot. Everything in front of him is so incredible.
After a while, Li Qiang retracted his hands, and the flames in the fire pit jumped up. He patted the dust on his hands and said with a smile, "Okay, Paben, let's go inquire about the situation to see what happened, and then we'll be on our way." Naughty Gong said, "We'd better find a big guy."
It is safer for caravans to travel together. It is very dangerous to walk on the Tianlu grassland with few people. He still failed to understand that with masters like Li Qiang and Hong Qian here, he did not need to worry at all. Li Qiang's purpose in entering the village was just to inquire about information.
If it hadn't been for these changes along the way, Li Qiang would never have entered Andu Village.
Nashan said: Boss, I will go with Paben. Li Qiang said with a smile: You guy can't sit still for a while. Remember not to cause trouble. Nashan touched his bald head and laughed and said: How can you do that? Boss, you know that I am the best Nashan
You are timid and afraid of getting into trouble. Hong Qian said with a smile: You are still afraid of trouble and you won’t believe it. Forget it, hurry up and go.
Paben and Nashan came in from outside the door just as they left. Both of them were dressed as businessmen. One of the leaders was a fat man with a big head, a round body and a pair of small eyes shining shrewdly. Li Qiang felt that he didn't look like he had walked in.
He seemed to have rolled in through the door. He bowed deeply and said with a smile on his face: "How many friends are you here? Can you excuse me?" The person following behind him was of medium build, and his face was covered with wrinkles like knives and axes.
I was very impressed after seeing it.
Li Qiang stood up and said with a smile: Hello, please come and sit down. Are you a businessman? The stubborn man never expected that Li Qiang would be so polite to a stranger and thought: Why should such businessmen be so polite when there are bosses everywhere? The fat man said with a smile: First, I am
Let me introduce you. My name is Ka Zhu. I am the contact person recommended by several small caravans. I'm sorry that I can't cross the Tianlu Grassland because I don't have enough people. You asked me to find more people. I have been waiting for a long time and I only saw a few of you.
Hehehe, I want to ask you if you want a companion. He said as he sat down.
The naughty old man asked: There seems to be very little business recently. Do you know what happened? The fat on Kazu's face trembled and he sighed: Alas, this old man's road is not smooth. During this time, some strange things have happened to some caravans.
Surprisingly, the entire caravan has disappeared, and there are no clues as to why. Many large caravans have stopped and some have simply gone out of business. Those of us who run small businesses will suffer a lot if the goods we receive are shipped.
If we don't get to the end of the field, we'll risk our lives, so I bite the bullet and keep walking.
Li Qiang smiled and said: We have just arrived, let's take a look at the situation before talking. Hongqian suddenly said: There are many people coming to the gate of the village. Li Qiang had already heard it and said: There are many Kazu and asked doubtfully: How do you know there are many people coming to him?
He turned to look at the gate of the village and exclaimed in surprise: This is a big caravan, that’s great.
Hong Qian said: This doesn't look like a caravan. You see the Silver Tip Cavalry is an army. Ka Zhu jumped up and said in surprise: Why is there an army at this time? There are not many people in the large caravan army. There are only a few dozen people.
A large cart pulled by Huajian riders rumbled along the street. In front of it was a small group of Silver-tipped riders. There were only about twenty or fifty riders and more than fifty people. The cart was followed by a large number of Black-tipped riders. Kazu shouted happily.
:Great. This is a caravan of a thousand people. Now we can leave.
Andu Village suddenly became lively. The noisy crowd split up and entered the empty houses on the street. Some people were shouting at the animals and directing the convoy to enter the place where large trucks were parked. The black tip of the brigade rode past, and many small groups of merchants followed behind. They also dispersed.
Come to look for an empty room. The village that was quiet just now has become very noisy. Li Qiang said: Good guy, this is really a mess. Ka Zhu, don’t worry, go contact them and let’s go together. Haha, we have to see again.
Ka Zhu said with a smile: Okay, I'll go find them to discuss it. Little brother, let's go together. Don't wait. I've been waiting here for a long time to have such a caravan opportunity. If I miss it, it's too late to regret it. When I left, I
Let me inform you. He seemed very enthusiastic and insisted that Li Qiang and the others go with him.
Li Qiangyuan was going to set off immediately after Paben came back from inquiring about the news. Seeing Ka Zhu being so enthusiastic, he was a little embarrassed to refuse him. Naughty Gong also said: Boss, let’s go with the caravan. The more people can save a lot of trouble. There are small groups of monsters on the road.
I don't dare to attack you. What do you think? Li Qiang said with a smile: "Okay, please tell Ka Zhu and let's go together." Ka Zhu said goodbye with a smile and looked very happy.
Hongqian smiled and said: Uncle Master, we can't make it now. The caravan is moving very slowly, but it is very safe. Li Qiang said: Naughty Gong, how far is this place from Ladu Kingdom? We have to hurry up after finishing things in Tianlu Grassland.
It's time to get there. Naughty Gong said: After passing the Tianlu Grassland, I knew a shortcut. Although the road was not easy to walk, it was close and it took a lot of time. This big caravan didn't know where it was going after it arrived at Andu Zhongzhai.
Where to go, we need to find out where the praying Bailing is. Maybe we still have to go alone after arriving at Zhongzhai.
People were also living in the adjacent rooms next door. Since all the rooms were surrounded by half wooden walls, Li Qiang and the others could see what was going on in each house. They saw about ten people pouring into the next room, talking and laughing loudly.
While dragging their luggage and other things with each other, they all found their own places to stay. There were people coming and going on the street outside the door, and there were many people who couldn't find an empty room. There were seven or eight men looking at Li Qiang and the others.
One of the men came over and came into the room and said loudly: Hello friend, is this place full?
Li Qiang smiled and said: Come in without you. The man turned around and said hello: Brother, come in. Several people crowded in and the room suddenly seemed crowded. The man shouted: Tudun brought my luggage and messed it up. I won't agree to it.
A short man agreed, dragged two large backpacks into the house, threw them into the corner, and shouted: Brother Zhutou is really hungry, trying to find something to eat.
The man named Zhu Tou laughed and scolded: Eat, eat, and you will know that you will starve to death. The old man took out the dried meat rolls in the bag and made a mound to get some water. One of the guys lay down on the ground and pulled it.
A strong odor immediately spread out from the animal skin boots on his feet. I heard the guy say: Oh, my feet feel so comfortable now. They are soaked with sweat and warm up. This brother gave way. Li Qiang had already held his breath.
Hearing this, he smiled slightly and stepped aside. The guy sat up and put his feet by the fire pit to roast them. He saw smoke rising from his feet, and the smell became stronger. He also said in his mouth: Sorry, everyone stinks.
Just be patient.
Zhu Tou yelled: "Smelly feet, why don't you let people live? Every time you get to the end of the field, you take off your boots. Stinky people are so annoying." Stinky feet said with a sad face: "I can't help it, my feet are naturally sweaty. Brother Zhu Tou, I won't bake them anymore."
Isn't that enough? He retracted his feet and stretched out his hands to rub them vigorously.
Fortunately, the room was made of half-wooden walls and was very ventilated. The smell dissipated quickly. While rubbing his feet, he said to Li Qiang: Brother, I'm sorry to stink you. Hehe, there was no way. A man next to him said loudly to Li Qiang: This guy is
If Brother Zhu Tou hadn't taken the famous Stinky Foot, no caravan would have wanted him. Haha, just call him Stinky Foot. Stinky Foot didn't get angry after hearing this and said with a smile: Don't talk about me, you man. We are brothers and I am Stinky Foot.
You have scabby legs. Everyone burst into laughter, even the people in the next room laughed.
Li Qiang couldn't help but asked in a funny voice: "Hmm, what kind of caravan are you, Stinky Feet? Why are you traveling with the army?" Stinky Feet grinned, rubbed his feet, and put his hand under his nose to smell for a long time before saying, "We are a big caravan."
That group of soldiers also walked with our caravan. The road has not been smooth recently. Hey, there are not many big caravans like ours. Hey, are you here waiting for company? Listen to me. No problem. Just tell our Zhutou brother.
He said it would be enough to spend a little money. He looked very proud.
Zhutou sat down next to Li Qiang and said with a smile: "Brother, I am the leader of a team of thirty people. You are three people. Don't worry, follow us to ensure safety." Naughty Old Man said: "There are five of us in total." Stinky Feet interjected from the side.
Said: It's okay, our Zhutou brother is a good man. He has been in and out of the Tianlu grassland dozens of times. There are only eight hundred or eight hundred people and goods to protect, little brother, you can follow with confidence and boldly. You only need to spend a small amount of money to ensure that everything is safe. That's great.
The old man took out a small pile of lean meat jerky from the animal skin bag and placed it beside the fire pit. He said loudly: Come and eat the dried meat mound. Why haven't you come over yet? You are so stupid that you have to look for water for a long time. Come and eat. Stupid feet stretch out your hands.
He picked up a piece, tore off a piece and threw it into his mouth. He chewed loudly and said vaguely: "Old Chong, this meat has a strange smell. It seems to be wet." Li Qiang couldn't help but laughed and said: "Brother's meat should be fine."
Stinky Foot raised the dried meat in his hand and handed it to Li Qiang's nose and said: "You smell it, it does taste a little different."
Li Qiang hurriedly turned his head and said: Hey, brother, please help me, that's the smell of your stinky feet. Everyone burst into laughter. The stinky feet raised their hands to their noses and sniffed hard. He laughed and said: It really smells like stinky feet. Hey, he doesn't care about the smell. He
He tore off another piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth nonchalantly. Zhu Tou greeted Li Qiang warmly: Come and eat together, you're welcome. Li Qiang smiled and said: You guys can eat, I just ate it. He didn't need to eat in the first place and seeing his stinky feet was like this
Those with bad eating habits will not even touch these dried meats.
In fact, these men did not take Li Qiang and the others seriously. Almost all the men traveling on the West Continent were strong and strong. It would be impossible to make a living here without good bones and muscles. Li Qiang and Hong Qian were wearing long robes.
He has a frail look, but Naughty Gong has a good body, broad shoulders, thick back, thick hands and big feet. He also has a machete beside him and has a beard on his face. From the looks of it, he is a standard traveling man.
Nashan and Paben walked in. Nashan said loudly: There are so many people! Boss, we are back. He looked the most fierce, with a bald head, one eye, and scars on his face. Everyone in the room looked at him in unison. Except Nashan
Convinced that no one except a few people was in his eyes, he came to the side of Li Qiang and grabbed the arm of the smelly feet and said: "This little brother, let me go." He gently pushed to the side. The smelly feet can't stand it.
This powerful force caused him to roll out a piece of dried meat in his throat. He choked and rolled his eyes. The old insect hurriedly stepped forward and patted his back hard. Only then did he spit out the meat in his throat. The monster shouted: "I want to kill you."
Me cough cough
Zhu Tou got a little angry and said, "Bald head, let's get to know each other. My name is Zhu Tou." He stretched out a big hand. The people on the side knew that Zhu Tou wanted to weigh Na Shan's weight. Na Shan's eyes lit up and he stretched out his hand, "Hey, hey, I am."
Call Nashan, hey, let’s make out. Let’s hold our hands together.
The expressions of both of them were as if nothing had happened. Nashan didn't exert any force at first. He looked at Li Qiang and knew that he was rude just now for fear that the boss would scold him. Li Qiang smiled and said: Nashan, don't overdo it. What he meant was
Don't let Nashan bully others. Who would have known that Nashan completely understood the mistake and thought that Li Qiang agreed with him to take action, just as long as he didn't hurt anyone. He laughed quickly and said: How can the boss do that?
Zhu Tou began to feel scared. No matter how hard he tried, the one-eyed man remained motionless, as if nothing happened. He bared his teeth and said with a smile, "Welcome, Zhu Tou, I'm sorry." Zhu Tou's expression suddenly changed. Everyone saw Zhu Tou's
His face suddenly turned red and his body began to tremble slightly. He pressed his lips tightly together and sweat poured out on his face.
Seeing this, Li Qiang hurriedly said: That's enough. Nashan let go and apologized to Zhutou. Nashan hurriedly withdrew his hands and giggled several times and said: Haha, Zhutou, our boss ordered it. Hey, you're joking, don't be angry, hehehe. He was smiling all over his face. Everyone was laughing.
He couldn't believe that this fierce bald man was so obedient, and he couldn't help but become curious about Li Qiang: This young and frail young man is really a bit unpredictable.
Zhu Tou sat down. He was pinched by Nashan so hard that his hand bones were almost broken. The pain was so painful that it took him a long time to catch his breath. He was convinced in his heart, knowing that he was too far away from the other person and smiled bitterly.
:It's okay, it's okay. The men who travel on the West Continent are straight-tempered and will never cheat on you if they lose.
Nashan shouted: Paben, bring over the fresh meat you just got. I'll treat everyone to the meat. Paben threw a half-human-sized monster from his back and placed it by the fire pit. Li Qiang smiled and said: Come over and eat.
Come here, too. He was referring to the group of men next door who had been watching the fun just now. The men shouted loudly and climbed over half of the wall. A large group of people sat around the fire pit and each pulled out the sharp knives they carried.
Start cutting the meat and grilling it.
Nashan patted Zhu Tou's shoulder with a playful smile and said: Let's eat together, brothers. Li Qiang and Nashan's generosity immediately impressed this group of straightforward men. It didn't take long for them to call each other brothers. The naughty old man was filled with emotion when he saw it.
Knowing Li Qiang's strength, he didn't expect that Li Qiang could be so easy-going and be able to hang out with these rude traveling men and call them brothers without despising them at all. He felt that this was the real master.
