After a day of rushing, the team finally arrived at the foot of a large mountain in the evening. The mountain is very steep and you need to look up to see the peak. However, due to the high altitude, there is always a haze covering the mountainside, so even if it is
The peak can be seen, but it is only a vague and blurry scene.
The trees on the mountain are denser than elsewhere, and the sunlight must not be able to penetrate. A waterfall pours down from the mountainside, and the rumbling sound of the water spreads far away. The camping place is next to the huge waterfall.
Next to the water pool. Standing on the edge of the water pool, you can vaguely feel the vibration caused by the waterfall hitting the water pool, as if it is a never-ending slight earthquake. The water in the pool is very clear, but the bottom of the pool cannot be seen.
What was even more strange was that not a single fish or shrimp could be seen in the entire pond. Such a clear pond actually looked like a stagnant pond, lifeless.
A few mercenaries collected firewood from the mountains and forests, and lit a bonfire in a dry place far away from the pool. Some mercenaries prepared dinner, and the remaining ones continued to build the firewood for Hideyoshi and Bingying.
Tent. Fu Shubao carefully observed the surrounding environment, and finally spread his sheets near the mountain forest. If it were not for the convenience of Zhuo Man coming to "chat" with him at night, he would still choose a certain tree as his sleeping place.
On a big enough tree.
As soon as he laid the sheets on the soft lawn, Hideyoshi's voice came over, "Fu Shubao, come here, I have something to ask you."
"Master Hideyoshi, what's going on?" Fu Shubao only said two sentences to Hideyoshi that day. In addition, this sentence was only three sentences, and he had another hunch in his heart that it would definitely not be a good thing.
Hideyoshi and Bingying sit side by side by the bonfire, the blazing firelight reflects on the two of them. The man is majestic and graceful, and the woman is pure and beautiful. No matter from any angle, these two people are a match made in heaven.
When Fu Shubao walked over slowly, Hideyoshi was covering Bingying with a blanket, looking very gentle and considerate. And Bingying's beautiful eyes never left Hideyoshi's body for a moment, and her eyes were full of intense emotion.
Deep affection.
"Damn it, it would be better to play god-friend... just drag him into the mountains and solve it on the spot?" Fu Shubao thought to himself, walked to the bonfire, and sat down across from the two of them politely. It just so happened that Hu Ling was also there.
On his side, he and he were not a perfect match, and the latter just gave him a blank look.
"Can you sit over there?" The young master who suddenly arrived came too close, and Hu Ling's brows knitted together.
"Can I still hear Mr. Hideyoshi's teachings if I sit far away?" Fu Shubao has no intention of moving his butt anywhere else except now. To be honest, he is breathing in the fragrance coming from Hu Ling.
, that is really a kind of enjoyment.
"You... are so shameless!" Hu Ling stood up angrily and sat next to Hideyoshi and Bingying.
"Haha... Master Hideyoshi, what do you want to see me for?" Fu Shubao smiled nonchalantly as his eyes remained on the angry Hu Ling.
Hideyoshi raised his head and glanced at the mountain lying in front of him, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "This mountain is called Wubao Mountain. After climbing over this mountain, our path will be easier."
Fu Shubao also raised his head and glanced, "Then just read it."
"It's not that easy. I found a bunch of footprints in the forest earlier. They were the footprints of a tiger."
Fu Shubao said: "Isn't it just a tiger? You can easily deal with Master Hideyoshi, let alone Captain Hu Ling and her people."
Hideyoshi shook his head, "That was not an ordinary tiger, but a spiritual tiger. I checked the footprints, and Sister Bingying also carefully identified the remaining breath of it, and we came to a conclusion.
, that is a Zhengling-level armored tiger."
"A true spirit level... armored tiger?"
Hideyoshi said: "Yes, judging from the depth of the footprints, it weighs at least two thousand kilograms, and has dense scales on its body. Ordinary swords cannot penetrate it at all. It is like wearing heavy armor. It is very
Difficult to deal with.”
Fu Shubao said: "This seems to be really troublesome, why don't I go around this mountain."
Hideyoshi smiled bitterly and said: "The level of this armored ice tiger was judged by Sister Bingying using her air guidance technique. It's up to her to tell you."
Bingying glanced at Hideyoshi affectionately before saying: "My Qi Guiding Technique can determine a person's strength cultivation level and even strength attribute based on his Qi machine. This can also be used on spiritual beasts. From
Judging from the energy remaining after the armor, it is not only a spirit beast at the level of a true spirit, but its power elixir attribute is also an earth attribute."
Hideyoshi added: "Earth-attributed warriors are best at tracking and assassinating, and the same is true for earth-attributed spiritual beasts. The reason why I chose to camp next to the pool is because the water here can shield our breath.
Discovered by it."
Fu Shubao said in confusion: "Then we still have such a huge fire. Isn't this an obvious way to tell the armored tiger that we are here?"
Hideyoshi shook his head, Bingying remained silent, but Hu Ling said in a contemptuous tone: "Master Fu, don't you even have this bit of common sense? Except for fire-attributed spiritual beasts, any kind of spiritual beast can
We will not take the initiative to approach the fire source. We will light a bonfire to prevent the armored tiger from approaching here."
Fu Shubao shrugged awkwardly, "My strength and cultivation here are the lowest, and my experience is not as rich as yours, so what can I do?"
Hideyoshi said: "Now is a critical juncture. Whether we all can leave here alive depends not on the strength of one person, but on the strength of our team. I have already thought of a countermeasure. We will act separately tomorrow morning. You and Fu Shubao will
Captain Hu Ling and her people are responsible for luring the armored tiger out. Sister Bingying and I are hiding in this pool of water, waiting for it to come and kill it with one strike."
"This..." Fu Shubao hesitated. It sounded like a very good idea, but why did he feel something was wrong?
At this time, Hideyoshi took off a sheathed dagger from his waist and threw it at Fu Shubao's feet. "This dagger is called the cutting dagger. It is a treasure inherited from my family. It can easily cut through gold and iron objects."
, Fu Shubao, you are the weakest in strength and cultivation, so I will lend you this dagger for self-defense, but I can tell you, don’t lose it, you have to return it to me after you use it.”
Fu Shubao reached out and picked up the dagger. It felt heavy in his hand. Just by the weight, he knew it was not an ordinary thing. After weighing it twice, he was even more confused about Hideyoshi's motives. "It can easily cut through gold and iron objects."
The dagger can be used to assassinate the armored tiger. Mr. Hideyoshi, why did you give it to me? Wouldn't it be more useful if you kept it?"
Hideyoshi laughed loudly, "You don't have to worry about this, I have a better one." Hideyoshi patted the sword on his waist and said, "It is the Wind Song Sword, ranked tenth among the ten famous swords in Kyoto.
It can cut iron and jade, etc., and more importantly, it is a sword that can be used to refine weapons. So, Master Fu, you should be relieved?"
Fu Shubao laughed twice.
"Young Master is kind enough to give you a family heirloom for self-defense, but you doubt your motives. I have never seen anyone like you." Hu Ling muttered, looking at the young master with even more contempt.
Fu Shubao didn't seem to hear Hu Ling's contemptuous words, he chuckled and said: "Captain Hu Ling, then we will fight side by side tomorrow and cooperate with the actions of Mr. Hideyoshi and Miss Bingying."
Hu Ling sneered, "I hope you don't die too early tomorrow."
Fu Shubao smiled again, "Captain Hu Ling must have never heard of this old saying."
"What old saying?"
"That saying says that good people don't live long and bad people live for a thousand years. In your eyes, I'm already bad from head to toe. No matter what I do, I still have to live for two thousand years?"
Hu Ling was immediately furious.
Returning to his sheets, Fu Shubao chose a very comfortable position to lie down, and then took out the cutting dagger. As soon as he took it out of the sheath, a cold breath suddenly hit his face, invisibly giving people
A kind of pressure. The body of the dagger is no different from an ordinary dagger. It is half a foot long and has cutting edges on both sides. It looks very sharp. There is a groove in the middle, extending from the handle to the tip. It must be made of
It is used for bloodletting. The material used to make the dagger is not ordinary iron, but a metal with a darker color, which is why it is heavier. But looking at it, he couldn't identify what kind of metal it was.
Because of the existence of the Refining Warriors in this world, the types of metals have become extremely complicated. Even ordinary iron can be obtained by adding some auxiliary materials to the Refining Warriors' hands and refining it with elemental fire.
Mutated metal, this mutated metal is no longer pure iron, nor is it tempered steel, nor is it a mixture obtained by adding some auxiliary materials, but is mutated gold with special elemental properties. However,
This is just a conjecture generated by continuing to observe the cutting dagger. People who do not have that status cannot learn more about the knowledge in the field of mutated gold and stone refining.
"The cutting dagger has a catchy name. I wonder if it can cut off my short knife?" With this thought in his mind, Fu Shubao immediately took out the short knife from his waist, laid it flat on the grass outside the sheets, and then raised it.
He raised the cutting dagger and slashed hard. There was a sharp clang, and the dagger broke into two pieces. The cut was as smooth as a mirror!
"Holy crap! This is really a treasure! If that guy Hideyoshi lends me a rotten dagger that breaks with one cut, I can figure out his intentions, but if he gives me such a treasure, I
I'm starting to fucking doubt that he really means well. What does that guy want to do?" Looking at the dagger broken into two pieces, Fu Shubao fell into deep thought. However, the more he thought about it, the less he understood...
