The next day, Wang Tiezhu and his party of five set out on the road to Heimusen.
Although Shang and Zhou were very uneasy about Shang Liuliu going to Heimusen again, given that there were three hunting masters, Wang Tiezhu, in the team, and because they wanted to help their benefactor, they agreed.
Yuanmei Town is still a long way from Heimusen, so the merchant specially prepared a carriage for them to use, and Shang Qi sat in the driver's seat as usual and drove the carriage for everyone with high spirits.
They set off in the morning and arrived at Zhengjia Village at noon.
Wang Tiezhu and Shang Liuliu couldn't help but sigh with emotion when they revisited their old place. However, since Uncle Zheng's family had already moved away, they didn't stop much and continued on their way.
In the middle of the afternoon, they stopped at the entrance of a village, which was the village of Ruan Qiushui and others, Dongsheng Village.
Since there is not much distance left to Heimusen, and the next road is a wild wasteland, overgrown with weeds and thorns, it is not suitable for riding a carriage.
Therefore, they decided to store the carriage at Ruan Qiushui's house.
"Hello, where is Ruan Qiushui's home?"
Bai Jingfeng was asking a villager who had just walked out of the village.
"Who are you? Why are you looking for her?"
The villager was obviously wary of the strangers in front of him and did not answer his questions directly.
"Haha, brother, don't worry, we are not bad people..."
Afterwards, Bai Jingfeng informed the villagers of their purpose of looking for Ruan Qiushui.
"profound!"
The elder brother of the villager showed a clear look, and the alert look on his face gradually faded away.
"I heard Qiu Shui mention that before they were hunting outside Blackwood Forest, they encountered a monster and were rescued by two hunting masters who happened to be traveling with them. It turned out to be you guys! To go to Qiu Shui's house, keep following this road.
When I walked to the other end of the village, I saw..."
After that, he waved to a few people and walked out of the village, disappearing from everyone's sight.
Following the guidance of the villagers, several people walked along the main road in the middle of Dongsheng Village to the other side of the village, where they saw a wooden house painted black in the distance.
There is a small yard enclosed by a fence in front of the house, in which several pieces of animal skins are drying.
Wang Tiezhu and others led the carriage to the gate of the courtyard and shouted a few words into the house.
"Is Sister Ruan Qiushui here?"
"Who is it?"
The door of the wooden house opened with a creak, and out came a woman wearing animal skin robes, with a strong figure and a neat ponytail. It was Ruan Qiushui.
"Sister Ruan, long time no see!"
Wang Tiezhu smiled and greeted her.
"Prince...Prince?"
Ruan Qiushui was stunned for a moment, then a surprised smile appeared on his face.
"Why did the young master come to Dongsheng Village? Come in quickly and talk!"
She quickly came to the gate and welcomed Wang Tiezhu and his party into the courtyard.
Wang Tiezhu glanced around the yard and smiled at her: "Sister Ruan, how are you doing this winter?"
"Haha, thanks to the two demon pills that Young Master gave us before he left last time, although this winter has been a bit colder, everything went well... You guys sit down first, and I'll make tea for you!"
As she spoke, she made a gesture to walk towards the house.
"Sister, no need!"
Wang Tiezhu quickly stopped her.
“We have something to ask for your help on this trip!”
"Um?"
Ruan Qiushui looked confused, "Master, do you need my help?"
"That's right..."
He pointed to the carriage outside the courtyard.
"We are going to Heimusen, and we want to store the carriage with you first, and then come and pick it up when we come back, is that okay?"
"Okay, okay! Of course!"
Ruan Qiushui nodded hurriedly, but then his face became solemn.
"Master, are you going to Heimusen now?"
Wang Tiezhu noticed something was wrong and said seriously: "What? Is there still time to go to Heimusen?"
"It was nothing before, but recently, for some reason, the monsters in Heimusen have suddenly become restless. Even in the outskirts of Heimusen, which was relatively safe before, many monsters have appeared. Although I know that the young master has great magical powers, but
You also need to be extremely careful!”
"The monster is restless?"
Hearing this, Wang Tiezhu frowned slightly, looked at each other with Bai Jingfeng, and then said to Ruan Qiushui.
"Thank you, Sister Ruan, for reminding me! It's getting late, let's go first! Sister, please take care!"
Seeing that they were in a hurry to leave, Ruan Qiushui didn't do much to persuade them to stay. He just said "wait a moment" and hurried into the house. After a while, he came out with a big gourd in his arms.
"Sir, there is nothing else I can do to help. Only this beast-repelling ointment is my exclusive secret. Applying it on the body can reduce the probability of being discovered by monsters to a certain extent. Please be sure to bring it with you, sir.
!”
Wang Tiezhu declined several times, but Ruan Qiushui's attitude was extremely strong, so he had no choice but to accept.
After handing the gourd to Shang Qi, they said goodbye to Ruan Qiushui, left Dongsheng Village, and walked in the direction of Heimusen.
"Brother Jingfeng, what do you think of what she said?" Wang Tiezhu said.
"Brother Qingyang, are you referring to the unrest among the monsters in Blackwood Forest?"
Seeing Wang Tiezhu nodding, Bai Jingfeng lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally shook his head, "I have no clue, but I can be sure that Feng Zhangmai did not do it."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"The conflict between Fengzhangmai and Molinmai just broke out. If Fengzhangmai still makes small moves in Molinmai's territory at this time, it would be too stupid and it will definitely anger Molinmai.
By then, it is estimated that Shenyao Pulse will also side with Molin Pulse, and Fengzhang Pulse will not take the risk of offending the two major veins, unless Grandma Yinlong's brain is broken..."
"Um……"
Hearing this, Wang Tiezhu lowered his head and began to ponder.
Although he didn't quite believe it was Feng Zhangmai who did it, the restlessness of the monster appeared at the right time.
It has only been a month since the incident in Guiyue Forest ended, but something abnormal has appeared in Heimusen, which will inevitably make people wonder.
Hua Yunrong on the side tilted his little head and asked curiously: "What are you talking about? Isn't it normal for there to be monsters in the forest?"
Wang Tiezhu smiled slightly and explained.
"That's not the case. Those monsters have specific living habits. Although there are monsters in Blackwood Forest, they basically live in the depths of the forest.
Because the demonic energy is strong there, and there are few humans to disturb it, but now they have come to the outskirts, it means there is something wrong in the forest. We need to be more careful. Follow me closely and don't go too far."
After hearing this, Hua Yunrong quickly took a few steps closer to him.
"Yeah, yeah! Follow closely!"
"Liuliu, when you get to the forest later, see if you can ask your monster friends. Maybe you can get some clues about the strange changes in Heimusen."
