Cottages like this are not uncommon on the Dongyue Continent, as long as they are close to the city or near inhabited places. They are often frequented by merchants and people who work as bodyguards.
Here you can buy some dry food to help you get on the road, and you can also get some poor-tasting but very strong spirits. Although such wine cannot satisfy the upper class, it is the favorite of some specific groups of people, who often expose their breasts.
Breasts, red, ### arms, sitting together eating delicacies and game, drinking strong wine that chokes the throat, talking about some things that happened in the gold-selling cave, or Xiao Cui Xiao Hong, or the gangs in the city, talking about
When they are happy, they will become friends and become brothers.
Such things are common at the bottom of Dongyue Continent, and although Zhaolong is a fourth-level martial artist, he used to be a bodyguard escort, so this kind of life is not unfamiliar to him.
Zhang Tao saw Zhaolong asking for some dry food and fresh water in a familiar manner, and looking at the slightly nostalgic look on his face, Zhang Tao knew that Zhaolong still recalled this kind of life very much in his heart.
In the distance, Young Master Jiutian was cursing and saying, "Why didn't this kid refuse to be sent off? It's a waste of so much time for such a small journey, so why do we need to buy dry food? Do you really want to go up and knock this dragon out?"
, and then take the boy and fly directly to Tianyue City."
For people like Jiutian Yishao, the Dongyue Continent is only at their feet, and the distance of dozens of miles is just that. Seeing Zhang Tao wasting time like this, he was naturally a little annoyed.
Jiutian Yi Shao was unruly and did not take the world seriously. However, although he beat and scolded Zhang Tao, he still maintained a trace of obedience, just like although he was dissatisfied with Zhaolong's slow speed, he did not interfere. If
If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid they would have been bleeding for five steps.
"Brother, have you heard about it? The Black Skull has come out again recently." At this time, people at another table were talking loudly, and Zhaolong motioned to Zhang Tao to be quiet. It was interesting for them to hear what these people were talking about.
Benefits.
"Of course I know. Several caravans have been hijacked. I don't know what illness Black Skeleton has suffered recently? The dispatch was so ordinary. Even though the court sent troops several times, it was in vain." Although the other person was a little scared, what he said was
Full of resentment.
"Shh, keep your voice down. This place is already close to the territory of the Black Skull. If you are heard, be careful about the lives of your whole family."
The speaker was frightened after hearing this person's reminder, and looked around like an eggplant beaten by frost, and then everyone's conversation became much quieter.
"Let's get on our way!" After taking a short rest, Zhaolong's expression turned ugly. Zhang Tao knew that it must be the reason why the person he just talked to mentioned the black skull. "Teacher Zhaolong, what exactly is the black skull?"
"The Black Skeletons are a well-known bandit gang in this area. They do all kinds of evil and kill people like crazy, but those who are captured are not alive. Because of this, the Black Skeletons are still at large. In fact, those of us who are bodyguards know that the Black Skeletons are
The reason why skeletons are so rampant is entirely because of collusion with the local magistrates, so we have to be extra careful, it seems we are not allowed to eat or sleep in the open at night," said Zhaolong.
Zhaolong's slightly fearful eyes made Zhang Tao curious, "Boy, do you want to see something? How about eliminating harm for the people? It's also an exercise for you, what do you think?" Jiutian Yishao's eyes are all over the sky.
Zhaolong's voice was extremely low, and Jiutian Yishao was far behind, but he could still hear the content of their conversation clearly.
Zhang Tao was also slightly moved in his heart. He had never fought against anyone after completing his studies, and he didn't know how he would perform in the face of this black skeleton that everyone talked about.
Arriving at a small city with the words "Yaoyue City" written on it, Zhang Tao looked carefully and saw that the city was almost full of hurried merchants, mainly local snacks and tea.
After Zhaolong took Zhang Tao into the city, he saw a man selling horses. There are many such people in Dongyue Continent. After all, horses are the most common means of transportation in Dongyue Continent.
"Although we don't have much property on us, for the sake of safety, we'd better buy a horse. This will also help you get to Tianyue City faster." Zhaolong said after hesitation.
Of course Zhang Tao would not object. Entering the school requires high tuition. Even if the whole village helps, Zhang Tao is not rich. He only has a few taels of silver now. This is because Zhang Wanli has a different status in the village, so he earns a lot of money.
reason.
A horse actually cost two taels of silver, which made Zhaolong's face twitch. However, safety came first, and Zhaolong paid the money happily.
Although the horse looked strong, its eyes were dull and it was obviously a inferior horse. However, it was better than nothing. Zhang Tao and Zhaolong galloped away on horseback.
Zhang Tao was quite excited when he rode a horse for the first time. He looked around, but the excitement soon disappeared. After all, it was not Zhang Tao who was riding the horse. It was like riding a car and driving a car were two different things.
The speed of the horses was indeed much faster than that of Zhang Tao and Zhaolong. The white birch trees on the official road flew past like white horses, and the breeze blew Zhang Tao's long black hair.
At this time, Zhang Tao frowned because he felt that there seemed to be a large crowd of people in front of him, and Zhaolong also stopped the horse in time, "Dismount, there is a situation ahead." Zhang Tao turned over neatly and jumped off the horse.
Zhaolong followed closely behind, and the two of them hid behind a tree and led the horse behind.
"Please, please let us live!" Looking from a distance, more than a dozen people, both men and women, were kneeling on the ground, while a group of people wearing gray clothes with knives surrounded them.
And on top of a maroon horse, a woman in red stood proudly on top. This woman's face was as cold as ice, and her eyes flashed like a dim light, like hellfire jumping in it, and her fiery red skin.
A couldn't hide her proud breasts. A pair of round but bronze thighs were placed on both sides of the horse. She didn't know what kind of paint was used to draw a coquettish and ferocious flower on her forehead. She was holding a long spear with the tip of the spear in her hand.
There was bright red blood on it, and it was as if you could smell the pungent smell of blood just by looking at it.
"You want us to let you live? First of all, you have to give us a way to make money, brothers, don't you think so?" A man holding an ax laughed and said.
"Yeah...hahaha." The robbers around him all echoed.
"All our belongings have been handed over, and now we are all alone. I wonder what else you want to ask for?" A businessman-looking employee knelt on the ground and said sincerely.
"I see that you are not only rich around you, but also rich at home. Why don't you come with us to stay in the village for two days and let your family use the money to redeem you." The bandit continued to grow, and the woman on the horse beside him
But he didn't speak, as if he was indifferent to all this.
"Tao'er, let's leave first. The opponent is Black Skull." Zhaolong's face turned a little ugly. He didn't expect to be so unlucky. He was really afraid of what would happen.
Seeing more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, it was obvious that these people were bodyguards. Zhang Tao was quite curious, "Is this a robber?"
"Quickly leave!" Zhaolong didn't dare to say anything. These robbers kill without blinking an eye. If they are caught, they will definitely not survive. If they don't leave now, how long will it take?
"Well?" Zhang Tao suddenly felt something, but did not say anything. After a while, a voice suddenly sounded, "Boss, there is someone here!" At this time, the two robbers actually discovered Zhaolong and Zhang Tao hiding behind the tree.
"No!" Zhaolong's face changed drastically, and then he rushed forward without any hesitation, shouting, "Taoer, get on your horse and leave!"
The shouts of the robbers also attracted the attention of people in the distance, but how could Zhaolong, a fourth-level martial artist, be just an ordinary person? He dodged a person's knife, grabbed the other person's hand with one hand like lightning, and pulled it gently,
The robber suddenly lost his balance, and his elbow fell directly on the man's hand joint.
Click... there was a crisp sound of bone cracking, and Zhaolong did not slack off at all. Although it was a low-grade technique, the infuriating energy inside was not a joke. He gathered it on his right fist and directly punched it with a powerful punch.
The robber flew away.
Bang... After hitting the tree, the robber spurted out a mouthful of blood and collapsed like mud. Seeing that he would not survive, the other robber shouted, "It's Lian Jiazi!" Then, the robber didn't.
He loves to fight but retreats instead. Obviously he knows that he is no match for Zhaolong.
Zhang Tao had already arrived in front of the horse, but he could not ride a horse. Zhaolong also thought of this and rushed over, but the robber in the distance had already set up his bow and arrow.
Just after getting on the horse, before running very far, a Mitsubishi-shaped arrow had already penetrated the horse's leg! Suddenly the horse screamed to the sky and fell down, while Zhang Tao and Zhaolong who were on the horse jumped up at the same time.
Zhang Tao rolled over and landed easily. Zhaolong held down the ground with one hand and took off. After rolling twice in the air, he was still unharmed. But at this time, the bandits had already surrounded him. Judging from the number of people, there were at least dozens of people. Even if they were surrounded
After killing the merchant just now, he still had enough energy to send more than 20 people to surround Zhang Tao.
"Tao'er, let's fight out. Only in this way can we have a chance of survival. I'll cover you, and you will retreat and leave with all your strength. You are the hope of our Taixiang Village, and we must not let anything go wrong." Zhaolong already had hope in his eyes.
The will to die.
"Teacher Zhaolong, am I, Zhang Tao, a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? I will never leave you." Zhang Tao sighed secretly in his heart. The young master did not tell him that there were robbers in the distance. He obviously wanted to test himself. In this case, today
He no longer hides his clumsiness.
Zhaolong was anxious, "Confused... you still have a great life and future, you." Before he could finish speaking, the woman riding a maroon horse had already come over, "You kill one of my brothers, and I can give you a chance to be with me."
In a battle, if you win, you will live, if you lose, you will die."
