"This road is easy." After the spiritual power in his body drove away the mosquitoes again, Liang En finally couldn't bear the desire to complain in his heart.
After destroying the previous monster, he realized that there was still a living victim. He simply moved the goods he brought to the roadside and walked into the wilderness on the roadside.
Of course he knew how difficult it was to find a stranger in such an unfamiliar place, but he really couldn't help but save a life when he had the ability to help.
But the tracking work was not very smooth. Even if he activated the spiritual power in his body to its most active level, he could still only vaguely feel the faint, intermittent aura of death in the air.
This left him wandering around like a headless fly in a place he didn't understand at all, and endured all kinds of mosquito bites. Fortunately, as his search area gradually expanded, a vague route was finally explored by him
came out.
Finally, more than an hour after leaving the official road, Liang En successfully found a small mound hidden by some kind of enchantment formation in a jungle.
When he arrived here at first, he didn't even realize that there was a trance formation nearby, but the accurate compass he brought from modern times told him that he would be slightly veering in other directions at this place and would not be able to go straight at all.
So he stood there and scanned the surroundings bit by bit with the help of the spiritual power cultivated by the Qinglian Sword Technique, and finally discovered something hidden within a radius of more than 30 meters.
Compared with finding the target, it is much easier to disarm this enchantment array. I don't know whether it is due to lack of strength or deliberate concealment. The overall spiritual strength of this enchantment array is not high, but the design is more clever.
So when facing this ecstasy formation, Liang En just poured the spiritual power of Qinglian Sword Technique into the knight's sword, and then slashed at a few places where the energy response was stronger.
Although the method of breaking the formation couldn't be simpler, it was extremely effective. After only three sword strikes, what was originally shrouded under the enchantment formation was revealed.
This is a small mound with almost no grass growing on it, and there is only one apparently temporary dug cave on the mound - because the soil produced by the digging is piled near the entrance of the cave, and it is even still wet.
After sensing that except for a slightly weak life in the cave, there were no other lives or other traps around, Liang En walked into the cave.
The entire cave is not that big, it looks less than ten square meters. A figure is lying on his back on a haystack in the corner of the cave without moving. Only the sound of gentle breathing can prove that he is still alive.
"Get the people out first." After looking at the environment of the cave, Liang En used his spiritual power to check to make sure that there was no trap set on the mountain ghost in front of him. Then he cut the rope around him, then picked him up and headed towards him.
Walk outside the cave.
Looking at the pointed ears and beautiful face of this mountain ghost, Liang En thought a little depressed: "Is this guy a boy or a girl? He looks beautiful, but he really can't tell the gender."
Mountain ghosts are a race that lives together with humans on this land. They have communicated with humans from a long time ago. For example, Qu Yuan, an ancient poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote a poem praising them.
In the days that followed, this race and humans had wars and peace, but historically they had retained their independent or semi-independent identity, existing as a small country or chieftain.
This situation did not change until the group of original Confucians traveled around the world. Almost all the mountain ghosts in China believed in the theory of original Confucianism, and after the birth of the new dynasty, they completed the registration of households and unified the people.
The new dynasty also truly achieved racial equality. For example, there are now a large number of mountain ghost officials in the Sijing court, and the mountain ghosts have gradually integrated into the country of the Song Dynasty.
Compared with ordinary humans, in addition to their beautiful appearance, this race also has a lifespan of over 300 years and a much stronger natural affinity than humans, but correspondingly, its fertility rate is far lower than humans.
Therefore, even if the people have been registered as households, they still prefer to live in the forest or in the mountains, and do not like to live in the city like humans.
According to them, life in the city makes them so uncomfortable that they can't breathe. So it is a bit strange that the mountain ghost in front of them appears around the city.
After taking the mountain ghost in front of him out of the cave, Liang En found a sheltered place and lit a fire, and then examined the mountain ghost in front of him.
After laying the mountain ghost down, Liang En saw the Adam's apple on his throat, and after confirming the other person's gender, the next inspection suddenly became much easier.
After all, this is the 15th century, and even if it is more open than the same period in the modern world, it is much more conservative than it would be a few hundred years later, so if the other party is a woman, it is really not convenient to check later.
After a simple inspection, Liang En was able to determine that the other party fainted simply because he was hungry without eating or drinking for a long time - even though mountain ghosts can resist hunger and thirst better than humans, they are not camels after all.
Knowing that the problem is much easier to solve, especially when it is discovered that the other party is still a little conscious, Liang En immediately took out the prepared glucose water from the modern space, and then put it to the mountain ghost's mouth
I fed him little by little.
Compared with porridge or soup, glucose obviously takes effect much faster, so less than ten minutes after drinking a bottle of sugar water, this very young-looking mountain ghost slowly opened his eyes.
"No, don't eat me."
When he opened his eyes, the mountain ghost shouted excitedly.
"Don't worry, don't worry, you are safe now, no one will eat you." Liang En pressed the other person to prevent him from hurting himself, and at the same time comforted him with a gentle tone.
"I have killed the monster that captured you before, so you don't have to worry about anyone trying to eat you -"
After a few words of comfort, he realized that the mountain ghost just suddenly woke up for a moment after being stimulated. After shouting those words, he lost consciousness again. Fortunately, after checking, he found that the other party was just drowsy.
It was at this time that Liang En had time to carefully examine the hostage he had just rescued, and found that the mountain ghost was much younger than he thought, and looked like just a teenager.
Although the clothes on his body looked tattered due to the previous kidnapping, it could still be seen that the other party was wearing a rather exquisite silk robe.
If my guess is correct, this silk robe should be the legendary shark robe.
In this world, mountain ghosts and sharks were once the same race, but later due to changes in the environment, they gradually became the two parts they are now.
However, even if the environment changes, language and culture have changed, the two races are still firm allies and long-term trading partners, so it is easy to find each other's specialties on both sides.
This is the case with robes made of shark gauze, but considering that the output of this raw material is not high, the person who can wear this robe is obviously not an ordinary person among mountain ghosts.
"Can I rescue an important person even if I just save someone?"
Looking at the young mountain ghost who was gradually calming down, Liang En thought subconsciously.
"If this is the case, then I am really lucky now. After all, the biggest prize I won in the previous lottery was just a commemorative prize."
