The sky is full of clouds, blocking most of the sunlight, making the forest look very bleak. Each tree casts a shadow of its branches, which is clearly printed on the thick fallen leaves. There are many wild animals in the forest.
Occasionally you can encounter squirrels running through the trees or small snakes hiding in the fallen leaves.
This is Qingfeng Forest, and it's only half an hour's journey from Qibao County.
Zhao Zheng was walking in the forest holding a bay-red horse. He came here to find something, not to go on a journey. There was no need to ride a horse. There were two things he came here to find, both of which were palm-shaped.
The green herb is bergamot, and the other is a green fish-shaped jade pendant.
The former is scattered in Qingfeng Forest with no rules to follow, but the latter does have some clues to look for.
In the game, this lost fish-shaped jade pendant will fall in the grass near a boulder. The boulder is weird and easy to identify. The only problem now is that the forest is too big, even if you know what the stone looks like, it will be very difficult.
It's hard to find, so you can only look for it slowly.
Zhao Zheng came prepared this time. He had a fire stick in his arms and a torch tied with oilcloth around his waist, which could be ignited at any time. If he met a wolf here, he would hold a torch in his hand.
The horse will be the first to issue a warning, and he can leave on horseback. If the horse is frightened or runs slowly, he can also light a torch to drive the wolf away. The wolf is a very cunning and careful creature, and is very afraid of fire. There are
With these two preparations, it would be quite safe for him to find things in the forest.
Among the most boring things in the world, looking for things is definitely one of them. Looking for things is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also no fun at all. Fortunately, the autumn scenery here is not bad, and it can bring a little fun.
Zhao Zheng searched alone in the forest for most of the day, but found nothing, neither the big stone nor the Bergamot. He was walking alone in the forest, with only a bay-red horse by his side. He couldn't help but think of
I have this girl Li Zhenzhen. If Li Zhenzhen is around, it will definitely be a lot more interesting. Even bickering can bring a lot of joy and smiles.
Although Zhao Zheng is not a talkative person on weekdays, he can't stand loneliness. If he were allowed to live the isolated life of Mu Yihe, the "lonely blacksmith", he would probably fall ill within a few days.
Zhao Zheng spent a whole day searching and thinking wildly. After the sun set, he gave up searching, mounted his horse and rode away, back to Qibao County.
In the next few days, Zhao Zheng went to Qingfeng Forest to look for things during the day, and returned to Qibao County to practice at night. Although he spent a lot of time during the day, he had a copy of the system and had a lot of time every day.
If you use it for practice, you don’t have to worry about delaying the progress of your practice.
In fact, training is a very monotonous thing. Entering the dungeon repeatedly every day is already very hard for Zhao Zheng. If he spends all the day practicing, he will go crazy sooner or later. The way of combining work and rest like now is
A long-term plan can ensure his enthusiasm for cultivation for a long time.
There are indeed those kind of martial arts idiots who only care about cultivation, but Zhao Zheng is definitely not that kind of person. He is just an ordinary person. At most, he has a little more perseverance and a little more sense of justice than ordinary people.
Zhao Zheng's luck was really bad. In the next few days, he only found two bergamot plants. In order to keep the bergamot fresh, he spent points to open the flower garden warehouse and transplanted the bergamot inside. He now has
The points in it are already quite abundant, and you can unlock the warehouse or dungeon you need at any time. He usually uses points very frugally. He will only unlock the corresponding warehouse or dungeon when he needs it. If he doesn't need it, he will keep it.
Save.
In the process of searching for things, Zhao Zheng's heart was always hanging, and he was a little worried about encountering wild wolves, but fortunately, in these days, he had not even encountered a wolf, but he met two adventurous ones.
It is not easy to meet a living person in this forest. Every time he meets a stranger, he will come up to say hello, chat, and sometimes give the stranger some dry food. Anyway, he always
They all bring a lot.
Through conversations with two herb collectors, Zhao Zheng got some useful information, learned about the locations where wild wolves often appeared, and also found out about several places with big rocks. This information helped him a lot, allowing him to
He couldn't help but think of the famous saying "Rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when you go out." It's always right to make some friends when you go out.
Zhao Zheng relied on the instructions of the herb collector and went to the locations where there were big stones. When he found the second stone, he found that the shape of the stone was very similar to the one in his memory. He hurried to
I searched around the stone a few times and rummaged through the grass. Suddenly I touched a smooth hard object. I grabbed it and put it in front of my eyes. It turned out that I had been looking for the fish-shaped jade pendant for many days. This jade pendant was completely green, with only a small amount of it.
The impurities were very beautiful. He was overjoyed, kissed the fish-shaped jade pendant, and put it into the system warehouse to ensure that it was foolproof.
After finding the jade pendant, it’s time to focus on finding the Bergamot. There is no skill in finding this thing, it all depends on luck.
Zhao Zheng searched hard for many days, and finally found two more bergamot plants, bringing them together to four. He was only one short of one plant before he could complete the work. He thought that this search journey could be completed.
It was a perfect ending without leaving any disturbance, but he didn't expect that something unexpected happened when it was about to end, and a dangerous situation appeared that he had not expected.
Just as Zhao was walking the horse through the forest in search of the last Bergamot, the horse in his hand suddenly behaved strangely. It shook its head, neighing from its mouth, its eyes widened, and kept kicking.
Damn, it's like I've seen a ghost.
There are no ghosts in this world, so of course it is impossible to see ghosts, but there are wolves in this world, and the level of terror between wolves and ghosts is not much different.
When Zhao Zheng saw the bay red horse acting abnormally, he immediately thought of the wild wolf. He quickly tightened the reins to prevent the bay red horse from escaping. Then he turned his face left and right to look for the wild wolf. He soon caught a glimpse of the wild wolf on the left.
A wild wolf. From a distance, this wolf is no different from a dog, but it gives people an unusual pressure. Zhao Zheng's scalp feels numb, and the hairs on his back stand up, just like
It was as if he had been electrocuted. Without saying a word, he stepped on the stirrups, turned over and mounted the bay-red horse, pulled the reins and ran to the right, hoping to avoid the wolf.
In terms of speed, wolves and horses are almost the same. It is still unknown whether they can get rid of the wolf behind them.
Zhao Zheng rode out for a few seconds, leaned forward and looked forward, keeping an eye on the road ahead. At the same time, he clamped the horse's belly and whipped it. In fact, even if he didn't fight, the horse would run with all its strength. He
He rode the horse and ran forward for a certain distance. He took a moment to look back and found that the wolf behind him had caught up with him at an alarming speed. Moreover, behind this wolf, there were several other wolves. At first glance, it seemed that there were at least three of them.
Head! It turns out this is not a lone wolf, but a pack of wolves!
Just one wolf is enough for Zhao Zheng to drink a pot, let alone a pack of wolves. He feels hot and cold all over, indescribably uncomfortable, and his stomach seems to be cramping. For a person who has never experienced life or death threats,
For those who cannot understand this feeling, it is a kind of self-protection instinct of the body!
Zhao Zheng turned his head, not daring to look anymore, and began to drive the maroon horse with all his strength, wishing that the horse would grow wings and fly away. His mind was now blank, and only escape was left.
This thought. He had never expected to encounter a whole pack of wolves in the forest before, but now it was too late to regret it. No matter whether it was a rejuvenation pill or a weapon, it was not as precious as his little life. For this reason
It's not worth it to lose your life.
"Bah, bah, bah! I will definitely be able to escape. Calm down, don't be nervous!" When Zhao Zheng thought about death, he immediately spat in his heart and gave himself a mandatory order to regain his composure. This kind of spirit
The influence had some effect, his breathing slowed down a bit, and his heartbeat also became suppressed. At times like this, it is even more important to calm down, otherwise the hope of survival will become even lower.
The bay-red horse gallops forward, leaving a series of panicked footprints on the ground. Whenever it encounters a tree, it turns around. This turning process will greatly slow down its speed. And the wild wolves behind it
But there is no need to have such scruples. These wild wolves are small in size, move quickly and flexibly, and can quickly avoid the obstruction of trees without being affected at all.
Zhao Zheng looked back from time to time to observe the situation of the wolves and found that there were at least seven wild wolves. The distance between the two sides was gradually getting closer. In terms of explosive power, the wild wolves seemed to be higher than the horses.
The current situation is quite bad. If this situation continues, the wild wolves will have to catch up. Once they are besieged by so many wolves, Zhao Zheng's chance of winning is directly equal to zero.
"What to do... what to do..." Zhao Zheng was beating a drum in his heart, thinking quickly about solutions, but he couldn't think of a single solution. Although he had a torch with him, it was not enough to scare away a group of wolves.
, wolves are not timid, but more cautious. When there is only one wolf, the wolf will be afraid of fire, but if there is a group of wolves, the wolf will have the courage to attack. If you set fire to the forest, you can use the fire to escape
Wolves, but now he has no time to set fire.
At this critical moment, things took a turn for the worse again. Two wild wolves suddenly appeared in front of them. It turned out that the wolves had set up a circle around them!
As soon as Zhao Zheng saw the two wolves running straight ahead, his heart sank to the bottom, he stopped thinking, and fell completely into endless despair.
The bay red horse also saw the two wild wolves in front of it. It changed its direction without waiting for Zhao Zheng to give orders, turned a big turn, and ran in the other direction.
Two waves of wild wolves began to chase him, one after another, forming a pincer attack, chasing Zhao Zheng on horseback. It seemed that the wolves were really hungry and had to treat this man and one horse as their lunch.
Zhao Zheng rode a horse and ran wildly for a while, constantly looking around and around, and found that the wolves were getting closer and closer. The nearest wolf was only about five meters away from him, and would catch up in a few seconds. Under the high tension, his heart almost stopped.
About to jump out of his throat, he looked ahead and saw a thick tree trunk at a high place. The trunk was about two meters above his head, neither too close nor too far.
He didn't think too much, he just relied on his will to survive and secretly used the internal force in his body to jump out towards the branch.
If he relied on his own strength to jump, he would definitely not be able to catch the tree trunk. Only by successfully using Luo Yanbu's buoyancy could he hope to catch the tree trunk.
He has practiced Luo Yanbu until now, but he is still a complete dabbler. He can succeed only once every ten times. Whether he lives or dies today depends on this one-tenth chance.
