Shi Yan is undoubtedly a good traveling companion. He is well-informed and experienced, is familiar with the practice of the Holy Ancestor, and is quick-witted and eloquent.
If Wang Chen follows him, he will not be lonely along the way.
And from Shi Yankou, I learned a lot about Chibi City.
This gave Wang Chen a clear understanding of his next stop.
It's just that the disaster that Shi Yan encountered three years ago still brings him a lot of trouble.
His physical strength and endurance are far inferior to Wang Chen's.
The two of them rested on the spot in a cave beside the road, eating something and drinking water.
Every distance along the Saint Ancestor's walking path, there are one or two caves similar to cave dwellings, which can accommodate twenty or thirty people to rest inside.
Quite spacious.
Shi Yan told Wang Chen that these caves were basically dug by traveling traders and passers-by.
Some are also used as huts.
If you don't know the ropes, it's easy to get in and step on them.
Of course Shi Yan would not make such a mistake. The cave he found was clean and dry, and there was even a stove made of soil and a small pile of jet-black stones.
"Burning Stone!"
Seeing these stones, Shi Yan was immediately happy and said, "We have hot food to eat."
Wang Chen reached out and grabbed a black stone.
Coal!
He recognized it at a glance.
I bet there is coal in this world, but I don’t know if there is any oil and natural gas!
When Wang Chen lived in Xiaoshi Village, he always used sun-dried potato stems, leaves, branches and roots for cooking.
Today was the first time I saw Burning Stone.
That is coal.
Shi Yan was delighted: "It must have been left behind by some caravan, but it's a pity that it didn't go to our village."
There are quite a lot of traveling merchants and caravans walking on the path of the Holy Ancestors. It is precisely because of their existence that smooth exchanges of materials between different cities and villages are maintained.
But when it comes to caravans, they don’t go to all villages.
Xiaoshi Village is located in a remote location, and few caravans usually come to do business.
Many times, villagers organize themselves and go to neighboring villages to barter for needed things.
Shi Yan took out the fire starter from his luggage bag, started the stove skillfully, and then placed a small pot that could only be described as "simple" on it.
Pour some water from the gourd, then add fresh potato slices and dried bacon.
Not long after, a hot pot of potato soup was ready.
Shi Yan took out two more bowls and kuaizi, and shared today's lunch with Wang Chen.
"smell good!"
Just as the two were preparing to feast, a rude voice suddenly came from outside the cave.
The next moment, a group of about ten people rushed into the cave with cheers.
They were wearing gray shirts or leather armor, and all carried swords and bows on their backs. They looked quite powerful.
Seeing these uninvited guests, Shi Yan almost jumped up.
He hurriedly lowered his head and whispered to Wang Chen next to him: "They are hunters from Xintian Village. There are many of them. We can tolerate it as much as we can!"
This Xintian Village is a neighbor of Xiaoshi Village, but it is far away and there is not much contact between them.
However, Xiaoshi Village and Xintian Village have always had grudges and disputes. The reason for the initial grudge between the two sides has long been unknown, but hunters from both sides have clashed many times.
During the most intense period, people even died!
When Shi Yan saw that there were so many people on the other side, he secretly complained in his heart.
He spoke to Wang Chen quickly and urgently, fearing that Wang Chen would have an impulsive conflict with these Xintian Villages.
A good man doesn't suffer the consequences of his immediate actions!
As a result, as soon as Shi Yan finished speaking, a strong man with a beard among the visitors recognized him: "Shi Yan, why are you here?"
After hearing Bearded's words, others turned their attention.
Some sneered, some ridiculed, and some gloated!
Shi Yan stood up quickly and replied: "Brother Zhuzi, I will take the children of the clan to Chibi to see the excitement."
"Um?"
The bearded man glanced at Wang Chen and said, "What's your name?"
Wang Chen replied calmly: "Wang Chen, do you have any advice?"
The bearded man suddenly got stuck on his words.
He didn't take Wang Chen seriously at all, and he didn't expect that the latter was neither arrogant nor humble, and looked like he was neither soft nor hard.
Bearded psychology brings quite heavy pressure.
"roll!"
After reacting, the bearded man suddenly became angry, pointed at Wang Chen and cursed: "Little bastard, who do you think you are? Hurry up, put down your things and get out of here."
Not only did he want to take over Wang Chen and Shi Yan's temporary residence, but he also wanted to take away all the food.
It’s really overbearing!
Shi Yan winked at Wang Chen, signaling the latter to leave quickly.
Wang Chen thought for a while and put down the bowl of meat soup in his hand.
As a result, he had just gotten up, and the bearded man yelled again: "Leave the bag, you can't take it away!"
Wang Chen frowned and couldn't help but darken his face.
This suitcase contains a lot of things. In addition to the "local specialties" of Xiaoshi Village, the most important ones are hundreds of ancient coins and some valuable beast materials.
If it is taken away by the other party, the loss will be huge and it will also affect subsequent plans!
So he doesn't want to leave now.
Want to cause trouble!
Although Shi Yan had limited knowledge of Wang Chen's situation, he was good at observing people's words and emotions, so he quickly realized that Wang Chen was about to fall out.
If a fight breaks out...
Shi Yan almost cried.
If Wang Chen had an accident, even if he could return to Xiaoshi Village alive, what would Shi Laowu say to him?
Previously, the village chief Qian Dingzhu Wan told him that Wang Chen must be sent to Chibi District safely.
This "peace" does not only refer to Shi Yan himself, but also to all kinds of people he may encounter on the road!
Shi Laowu knew Wang Chen's fighting ability well.
But Shi Yan didn't know very well, he just intuitively felt that he was about to suffer!
"Leave the bag?"
Wang Chen took off his luggage and backpack and threw it on the ground, and sneered: "I think it would be better to keep your life!"
He had tried his best to tolerate it, but he didn't expect to be regarded as weak and bullied by the other party.
More and more pushy!
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Chen punched out.
boom!
From a distance of more than ten steps, Wang Chen punched the bearded man in the air, and a low explosion suddenly occurred.
The bearded man felt confused and instinctively wanted to make a few mocking remarks, but suddenly he had a terrible feeling that a disaster was imminent.
puff!
The force of the punch was astonishing, and the punch landed calmly, seemingly without much force, but the bearded man on the other side felt as if he had been hit by a 10,000-pound hammer, and his head suddenly tilted back.
The bridge of his nose, cheekbones and teeth were struck violently at the same time, and were blown to pieces by the Vajra Fist.
The power of this punch is comparable to the lowest level spells!
The bearded man had never seen such a "sinister" boxing technique before. He fell into a coma within a few seconds of being hit.
