One early morning in late September, when the first ray of sunshine began to shine on the valley, a four-wheeled carriage with ordinary decoration stopped beside the dense forest at the foot of a certain mountain peak.
"Master, if you go further ahead, you will reach Heiyun Ridge——"
When he got off the carriage, Ran Li still hadn't guessed that Yue Yu's purpose was actually to see the monsters outside.
He was just curious at this moment. Didn't he say that he was going to inspect the farm outside the city and count the losses on behalf of the Yue Zhang family? Why did this carriage come here so well?
Yue Yu did not answer, but began to take down the things he had put in the car one by one and equip them for the two of them. The first was the two bows and the matching sixty arrows made of skylark bones.
.
The bones of demon birds are extremely light, not only extremely hard, but also mostly hollow, making them the best material for making arrows. However, it is not easy to find suitable bone materials for processing. Although this skylark bone arrow is the most common
, but it also cost Yue Yu nearly two taels of silver.
Then there is Yue Yu's Tang-style horizontal sword. This is a must-have item, considering that it may be damaged in subsequent battles. When he was in the city before, Yue Yu bought a horizontal sword and a long sword in the clan's weapon shop in one go.
They bought three of each. As for these things, Yue Yu was going to hang them around Ran Li's neck. This was a mobile fort and a mobile warehouse.
Of course, food and medicine cannot be ignored.
This time Yue Yu brought out a few slices of pancakes and dried meat. He had not planned to stay out overnight, so he did not prepare too much. As for medicines, in addition to several commonly used wound medicines, there were also two bottles of tonic.
Because he uses the Qi Pill himself instead of giving it to Yue Zhang for sale, Yue Yu naturally has no scruples and chooses the most powerful formula to brew it. He estimates that it should be better than those supplements on the market.
Qi pills are about 60% stronger.
Finally, there is the leather armor for the two of them, which is free of charge. Their fathers each left behind a piece of excellent fourth-level white crocodile armor. It is not only light and does not affect movement, but also has extremely strong defense.
And it wasn't until Ran Li was put on a piece of metal mail armor in addition to the white crocodile armor, and the lace belt behind him was tightly tied by Yue Yu, that he suddenly realized the purpose of Yue Yu's coming out this time.
Suddenly, the big man's stubble-covered face lost all color.
He is not worried about the safety of the two of them. With his huge strength and Yue Yu's sword skills, as long as he doesn't go too deep here, it is enough to ensure that his life is safe.
What is really worrying is that Jin Xu——
"Master, do you think those guys will follow?"
Ran Li tried to use a more subtle tone to remind the little master next to him, but when he said these words, he had no hope. And as expected, Yue Yu was slightly stunned after hearing the words.
"I'm sure I'll follow you. Do you think I didn't think of it?"
As early as a few days ago, Yue Yu had already discovered that someone was paying attention to his actions these days. Whether it was purchasing supplies for outings or inquiring about the situation outside the valley, someone was conducting subsequent investigations. Yue Yu also firmly believed that
, Jin's father and son, and some other people, would probably be happy to see the two of them die in the hands of those 'monstrous beasts' outside the valley.
Putting the quiver on his back, Yue Yu waved his hand, indicating to the driver that he could leave. Then he turned around and looked at the mountain to the north of him.
This is the Black Cloud Ridge that Ran Li just mentioned. It is one of the mountains on the outskirts of this canyon. The monsters of level 4 and above have been basically eliminated by the manpower of the Yue clan. However, outside the Black Cloud Ridge, there are still
There is a large area of virgin forest. Countless monsters breed and live here. There are also a small number of third-level and fourth-level beings who occasionally go deep into the mountain for hunting.
For the two of them, it is indeed an extremely dangerous place.
Yue Yu glanced behind him again. At the foot of Heiyun Ridge, there was a large area of fine paddy fields. Looking at the boundless expanse, he didn't notice anything unusual. However, Yue Yu was convinced that at this moment, in the dark, there was something strange.
There were dozens of eyes peering at the side.
The Shunfu Pharmacy shop opened by Yue Zhang has gradually been on the right track these days. On the day when the pharmaceutical apprentices learned the various wound medicine brewing processes from him, six martial arts masters were hired, as well as enough
Eighteen high-ranking warriors shocked the whole city in one fell swoop.
And just when everyone thought that Mrs. Yue Zhang had gone crazy because of the harvest failure at the farm outside the city, his mother made another surprising move on the day the drug store opened. For several days in a row,
At the gate of the city, Yue's various wound medicines were given to passers-by free of charge. This move seemed crazy, but it also made Shunfu Pharmacy's business boom in the next few days.
Interestingly, Mrs. Yue Zhang was more concerned about keeping his talent in medicine secret than Yue Yu himself. Before the medicine shop opened, he even took several martial arts masters out of the city to escort an eighty-year-old man in a very solemn way.
On the left and right, an old man dressed as a pharmacist entered the city, drawing almost all suspicious eyes away from him.
The only thing Yue Zhang didn't expect was that the exclusive drugs in Shunfu Drug Store would be almost out of stock.
And with the current booming business situation of Shunfu Drug Store, Yue Yu didn't believe that Jin Xu and his allies could still sit still.
In fact, Yue Yu himself felt a little regretful at this moment. If he could be given more time, he would definitely be more prepared now, both in terms of strength and prescriptions.
It's a pity that Jin Xu pressed too hard, so he had to hand over those few prescriptions to Yue Zhang early. He also had to face more risks during this trip outside the valley.
Seeing that the carriage had completely disappeared from sight, Ran Li had no choice but to reluctantly pull out the big ax behind him, but his expression was still a little green.
At this moment, Ran Li was struggling in his heart. Should he find an opportunity to knock Yue Yu unconscious and drag him back? But at this moment, he saw Yue Yu had turned around and stepped forward, walking into the front door.
Lin Nei glanced at the horizontal knife held by Yue Yu's left hand. Ran Li's pupils shrank slightly. After sighing heavily, he hurriedly followed.
When they first entered the forest, the two of them ran almost as fast as they could. It wasn't until they entered the dense forest for more than twenty miles and were about to cross the Black Cloud Ridge that Yue Yu gradually slowed down.
From here on, the two of them have encountered some monsters, most of which are below the second-level median. Except for their size and strength, there is no essential difference from the beasts in Yue Yu's previous life. This one
The monsters at this level are far from mastering any special powers. Ran Li's big ax can easily deal with them.
Yue Yu himself, on the other hand, began to look for medicinal materials and at the same time began to arrange some small mechanisms without leaving any trace in the places he passed through.
He is not a professional herbalist, and he doesn't even have much experience. However, with the graphic comparison function and other visual aids provided by the auxiliary system, he has already collected many types of precious herbs before he has really gone deep along the way.
However, Yue Yu was more concerned about what was behind the two of them at this time. His little traps had been triggered about ten times in half an hour. Although the wind in the forest was very strong now, the sounds were mixed and mixed.
It's not obvious. But Yue Yu can always separate these sounds through the function of the auxiliary parasitic system.
After comprehensive analysis, he found that the guys following him should be between three and five people.
——This result made Yue Yu a little surprised. His enemies should not despise them so much. And with the style shown by Jin Xu, he should also be well aware of the principle of trying his best when fighting a lion against a rabbit.
.
Yue Yu thought again about the fifth-level lion-crocodile beast that Yue Zhang mentioned more than ten days ago. Could it be that the crisis had not been completely resolved?
Shaking his head slightly, Yue Yu opened the map he drew. The people behind him were getting closer and closer, and they were probably impatient. Whether he could escape this crisis safely now depends on who
Are the things that the old hunter who sold him the bow really told him?
