From the martial arts world to the world of immortality Chapter 318 The road is difficult 4k6
Fortunately, Dr. Xi was in the team, so he rushed over and took Mother Liu's pulse.
Looking at the nervous Liu Mang, Doctor Xi smiled and said: "Don't worry, Gang Leader Liu, the old lady fainted because her emotions were so tight that she exhausted her energy too much."
"You can wake up after a few hours of sleep. If Gang Leader Liu is still worried, I brought some warming medicine with me on the way and gave the old lady a decoction for two days. I'm sure there won't be any further trouble."
Liu Mang nodded: "I'm sorry to trouble Doctor Xi."
Doctor Xi said: "This is a simple task, so it's not worth mentioning. If we hadn't relied on Gang Leader Liu along the way, our family would have died in Jiangcheng."
Speaking of this, Doctor Xi couldn't help but feel grateful for his original choice. Although he risked offending the people of Pucheng to send a letter to Liu Mang, he also gained the friendship between Liu Mang and the Fang family.
Thanks to this, the Fang family also took the initiative to contact him before escaping from Jiangcheng this time.
Otherwise, given his reputation, if he still stayed in Jiangcheng, he would probably have to surrender to the bandits in order to save his family.
Since Liu's mother hadn't woken up yet, Jiang Cheng's team stopped and set up camp on the spot.
Fang Qingtang has completely assumed the role of daughter-in-law, staying beside the sleeping mother Liu and carefully wiping her face with a sweat towel.
"How long will it take to reach the Central Plains?" Liu Mang came to Fang Qingtang's uncle Fang Zhengjiang and asked him.
Fang Zhengjiang pondered for a moment and said: "According to the previous records of our Chamber of Commerce, this road is quite rugged and difficult to travel. It is estimated that it will take another twenty days."
Liu Mang frowned after hearing this.
Along the way, they had entered the depths of the mountains, and the climate was getting colder and colder. Even he could feel a hint of chill.
If it takes nearly a month, it will be too much for the ordinary people in the team who don't know martial arts.
But there's nothing you can do about it, it's better than staying in Jiangcheng and not being able to control your own life and death.
It was not easy for the Fang family to find such a remote route to the Central Plains.
A few hours later, Liu's mother finally woke up.
However, it was getting late, so the team waited until early the next morning before continuing their departure.
Passing through the camphor forest in front of us, we came to a bush covered with red thorns.
The bushes were so dense that they completely blocked the road.
The Lianjiazis in the team, such as the Yueying Guards of the Fang family, Qi Quan, Ban Yang, Lin Hanlin, and Wang Zhigang of the Golden Tiger Gang, all shouldered the task of clearing obstacles at the front.
The large army marched slowly behind, walking for several hours without completely leaving the area.
"Ouch, there's a snake!" A frightened scream suddenly sounded from the team.
The one who made the sound was a middle-aged male member of the Fang family who did not know martial arts.
When everyone looked around, they saw a poisonous snake over two feet long with purple-red patterns all over its body, biting the man's calf.
puff!
Mr. Xu, the closest disciple of the Fang family, easily cut the venomous snake into two pieces with one knife.
Then he quickly came to the man's side and quickly tapped his thigh several times.
This is done to seal the acupuncture points and prevent toxins from spreading.
Then, with one smooth stroke of his knife, he cut off a piece of flesh from the area where the man had just been bitten.
The middle-aged man's face changed shape and he screamed in pain.
Doctor Xi rushed over, checked the man's wound, and found that the man's entire right leg had turned blue and purple. He hurriedly said: "No, the poison is very strong. The entire leg needs to be removed, otherwise It’s going to affect the whole body!”
The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically, and his voice trembled a little: "Do you have to chop off your legs?"
"This..." Mr. Xu hesitated for a moment.
However, just as he was struggling for a few breaths, the man was foaming at the mouth and fell to the ground with a purple face, and it seemed that he was no longer alive.
"Ms. sir!"
"father!"
A middle-aged woman and a young man in brocade clothes flew towards the man.
"Hey, this purple-striped snake is so venomous that most people can't survive even ten breaths of it." Divine Doctor Xi shook his head.
Liu Mang also rushed over from the front of the team at this time.
After checking the man from the Fang family who fell to the ground, he found that his eyes were white and he was completely lifeless.
The heartbreaking cries of his family Juan were heard, which made everyone in the team feel very uncomfortable.
After all, this was the first person to die after entering the mountains.
The road ahead is long, and it will take nearly a month to reach the Central Plains. How many people will die in the meantime?
"Purple-striped snakes are highly poisonous and vengeful. If we kill one, we must be careful of its tribe to seek revenge." Doctor Xi walked to Liu Mang's side and reminded him.
When Liu Mang heard this, he took it seriously and ordered some people who knew martial arts to patrol both sides. He himself would release his Qi from time to time to prepare for any eventuality.
At night, the purple snake tribe came to take revenge.
Only sounds of "hissing" could be heard one after another, and hundreds of purple-striped snakes shuttled through the bushes, surrounding the camp.
One by one, they shot out from the ground towards everyone like sharp arrows, opening the snake's mouth to reveal sharp teeth covered in saliva.
Despite Liu Mang's early warning and everyone's best efforts to strangle them, the number of snakes was too large to be fully taken care of, and about ten people were bitten by venomous snakes.
Most of the people who were bitten died tragically on the spot. Only two or three survived, but their hands and feet were chopped off to remove the poison. It was extremely cruel.
A gloomy atmosphere enveloped everyone in Jiangcheng. In the next few days, the number of people talking in the team became much smaller.
After passing through red bushes, crossing a swamp, and climbing over two mountains, the team got stuck in front of the third mountain.
It turns out that this mountain has no formed mountain path and is extremely steep.
Liu Mang made a visual inspection and found that the inclination angle was sixty or seventy degrees, which was not much different from the vertical one.
The mountain is more than a hundred feet high. There are various protruding rocks on the mountain with various shapes and sizes. It can be said that it is as difficult for ordinary people to climb over it as it is to climb up to the sky.
Just like the sport of rock climbing in previous lives, the height is often only three to four feet, and many people cannot climb it.
Liu Mang thought for a while, then led a group of people to the mountain forest that he had passed before and cut down hardwood branches. Not too thin or too thick, just the right thickness for his arm.
Then they continuously transported the branches to the dangerous peak and piled them high.
The people in the team watched all this curiously, wondering what Liu Mang could do.
Liu Mang looked up at the steep mountain peak in front of him, took a deep breath, and drew out the Qingliu from his waist.
Then he jumped lightly and quickly stepped onto this dangerous peak with his feet.
Although the dangerous peak is steep, it is as easy as walking on flat ground under Liu Mang's feet.
At the same time, he kept waving the Qingliu sword in his hand, cutting off all the rocks and trees that he thought were obstacles, while retaining some bumps that were helpful for climbing.
The sound of ‘Dangdang’ is constantly sounded. The sparks splashed where Liu Mangbao knife was over, and the crushed rock pieces fell from high altitudes, which looked quite spectacular.
In less than half a stick of incense, Liu Mang finished cleaning all the way to the top of the mountain.
Below him, a smooth gray mountain road could be seen with the naked eye, which he had just cut out with a knife!
The manpower was so powerful that everyone looked at Liu Mang with awe and admiration in their eyes.
Liu Mang, who was on the top of the mountain, looked at the other side of the mountain. It was much smoother than the side he was going up to. But he also cleaned it up in the same way to make it easier for everyone to go down the mountain.
Then, amidst the exclamations of everyone, he jumped directly from the top of the mountain and fell rapidly in free fall.
Just a few times along the way, I gently rubbed my feet on the surface of the mountain for cushioning, and I was at the bottom of the mountain in an instant.
Liu Mang and the martial arts practitioners on the third level and above in the team gave instructions.
Everyone brought a lot of wood and inserted it next to the newly opened mountain road along the way to serve as a different kind of handrail.
In this way, a barely passable man-made corridor has been formed.
But even so, this mountain road is still as difficult as hell for the old, weak, women and children in the team.
Liu Mang asked those who knew martial arts to carry one on their backs, while he protected everyone at the bottom of the team, and even caught a few who fell from the air midway.
After more than half a day, everyone safely climbed over this dangerous peak without any casualties.
After everyone has passed, people will be arranged to carry the supplies in the team, as well as many boxes containing belongings.
After everything was completed, everyone's morale was greatly boosted and they accelerated their march.
After ten days of such tranquility, the weather suddenly took a turn for the worse.
The cold wind was biting, and heavy goose-feather-like snow fell in the sky.
"Follow me!" Liu Mang shouted loudly.
If you bathe in the snow for too long in this situation, you will freeze to death.
He led everyone to a nearby mountain, but barely found a cave.
If you don’t have a cave, make it yourself!
Liu Mang stirred up all his energy and blood, shining like a little golden man among the snowflakes.
Then he punched the front several times in a row, and several white air pillars as thick as big trees surged forward, blasting several large holes directly on the surface of the mountain!
It's just that the hole is not big enough or deep enough to accommodate too many people, and it needs to be repaired.
Liu Mang's fists roared continuously, and air pillars criss-crossed, constantly violently transforming the cave.
After a dozen caves that can accommodate everyone are formed, even Liu Mang, who is as powerful as he is now, can't help but feel a little tired and has a serious loss of energy and blood.
It is convenient to have martial arts, Liu Mang sighed in his heart.
In his previous life, even if he used an excavator, it would not be as fast as him. What's more, it would be difficult to transport an excavator into such a difficult and dangerous mountain range.
At this time, the sky was full of snowflakes, falling like catkins, covering everything in sight with a thick layer of white clothes.
It was extremely cold in the cave, and many women and children felt shivering even though they were wearing thick coats.
Liu Mang led a group of strong men out of the cave and divided into two groups.
Go out and collect branches along the way to make a fire in the cave to keep warm.
We went out hunting animals and picking wild fruits along the way, because there was not much dry food left in the team.
However, under the heavy snow, animals are hiding one after another, making it difficult to find them.
However, Liu Mang has a strong spiritual sense and his hunting ability is far beyond ordinary people. The animals nearby will suffer.
A gray deer was running rapidly in the snow. While swinging its legs, it was suddenly hit by a white air column on its back legs.
My whole body fell to the ground with a 'bang', splashing with large snowflakes, and I couldn't get up again.
The big red-billed bird was flying in the air when a branch suddenly passed through its wings with a whooshing sound, and it suddenly fell from the sky.
The squirrel, which was jumping happily on the tree, was suddenly hit on the head by a stone and fell directly to the bottom of the tree and fell unconscious.
Next to Liu Mang were several big men from the Golden Tiger Gang.
As soon as they found something, they were allowed to take it. In a blink of an eye, everyone was covered with prey and their faces were beaming with joy.
Suddenly, familiar shouts and obvious sounds of fighting appeared in front.
Liu Mang asked his men to take the prey back, while he walked in the direction of the sound.
When he arrived at the place where the sound came from, Liu Mang could see a big white bear fighting fiercely with the bearded Lin Hanlin.
Not far away, there was Liu Shu, a little fat man, and the woman in red following him, watching.
The big bear is one foot tall, with a strong body, white hair all over its body, and red eyes. The thick paws of the bear are so powerful that it can easily break even thinner trees.
Lin Hanlin's Qi and blood have been stimulated, and his skin is gray-white, which is a sign that he has cultivated his external skills to the peak of stone skin.
However, the white bear is, after all, the most powerful common animal in nature.
Lin Hanlin's physical strength and strength were still somewhat inferior to him, and he kept retreating after being beaten to the ground.
"let me help you!"
Liu Shu also rushed forward enthusiastically and fought against the big white bear with Lin Hanlin.
It's a pity that Liu Shuxiu is still at the peak of his skills, so he can only help from the side and cannot fight head-on.
Suddenly the big white bear became restless, slapped Lin Hanlin away, and then rushed towards Liu Shu.
Liu Shu's expression changed. If he was hugged by the big white bear, he would be in serious danger.
At the critical moment.
A stone flew towards the big white bear with a whooshing sound and hit the big white bear's right eye. The big white bear covered his eyes and screamed.
Seeing this, Lin Hanlin took the opportunity to rush forward and hit the big white bear on the head with several punches, knocking him unconscious.
Then Liu Shu caught up and slashed the white bear's neck with his knife, killing the poor bear.
"Are you okay?" The woman in red hurried over and asked worriedly.
Although she has an ordinary appearance, she has charming eyes and an extremely graceful figure.
"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Shu smiled and touched the back of his head.
Lin Hanlin looked at the woman in red in surprise: "Did you throw that stone just now?"
The woman in red was about to answer.
On the other side, Liu Mang walked out of the forest, clapped his hands and praised: "Good skills."
The face of the woman in red changed, and she forced a smile and said, "Guangzhu Liu is so complimentary."
She obviously didn't notice Liu Mang who arrived nearby at some unknown time.
Liu Mang didn't say anything more, but he became suspicious of the identity of the woman in red.
Just now, I wanted to save Liu Shu, but I didn't expect that the woman in red couldn't help it first.
Judging from the angle and strength of her attack, the strength of this woman in red is not simple.
It is at least the fourth level of peak level, and may even reach the fifth level.
And not knowing what kind of skills she practiced, Liu Mang couldn't tell her specific state.
He had known before that Liu Shu rescued a woman by the river, but he never took it to heart.
Now that she has a mysterious background, I have some doubts that this woman came with a purpose.
After all, to put it bluntly, Liu Shu is not good at martial arts and is not handsome, so why should a woman who is at least the fourth level peak fall in love with him?
But now that Liu Shu was present, he didn't say anything.
Lin Hanlin carried the big white bear back, which weighed more than a thousand kilograms, causing everyone to exclaim.
This bear alone, if you save some food, can feed everyone for several days.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and everyone in the team huddled in the cave, lighting fires to keep warm, grilling meat over the fire, and living like primitive people.
At night, Liu Mang found an opportunity to call the woman in red out for a private chat.
"What is your identity?" He asked directly without any twists and turns.
"I'm just a homeless person." The woman in red was silent for a moment and then said.
"Liu Shu is my good brother. I don't want anyone to hurt him."
"If someone does something bad to him, I will die in front of him." The woman in red said seriously.
Liu Mang stared at her sharply, but the woman in red showed no fear and an open expression.
Looking at her firm eyes, Liu Mang nodded, turned around and left.
Decided not to interfere with their affairs.
No matter what the identity of the woman in red is, as long as she treats Liu Shu well, that's enough.
As for the trouble it might cause in the future, Liu Mang didn't care.
Now that there is no grandmaster, who can do anything to me?
The heavy snow lasted for three days before it stopped.
Jiang Cheng's group continued to move forward, and when they came to a dense peach forest, they all felt refreshed when they saw the attractive crisp peaches hanging on the trees.
Liu Mang picked some peaches and took a bite. They were quite sweet, so he gave them to Mother Liu, Fang Qingtang, and Mrs. Fang to taste.
However, when they walked to a place in the peach forest, the golden tiger, which had been peaceful all this time, suddenly arched its body, and the hair all over its body stood up as if it was exploding.
"Roar!"
It roared in one direction, as if something terrible was hidden there.
