Compared to Chase Lu's depression, Uncle Yang became much happier. After all, these questions were all asked to him when Chen Lu was not around.
Sometimes Chase Lu also laments that fortunately the person asking him these questions is a cute girl. If she was a naughty child, she would have been slapped away by him.
When the carriage was traveling until about one o'clock in the middle of the night, Uncle Yang found a mountain col with leeward wind and stopped the carriage.
"Miss, we have been driving for most of the night. I won't catch up so quickly. Why don't we take a rest here."
Hearing Uncle Yang's words, Liu Yun poked his head out of the carriage and took a look at it privately. Unfortunately, it was too dark to see anything, but he still nodded.
"Okay, let's take a rest here first. How about we have a cheerful bonfire party?"
Regarding Liu Yun's proposal, Lu Chen and Uncle Yang looked at each other, and saw in their eyes that they were connected by the same fate.
Lu Chen really wanted to just walk away. He didn't want to play any house games with a rich girl who had never experienced hardships before.
But think about the fast and convenient dragon scale carriage, think about all kinds of delicious snacks...
Well, how much firewood can you use for a bonfire party?
It was said to be a bonfire party, but in fact it was just that. A fire was lit with the dry firewood that was collected, and the rabbit that Lu Chen caught casually was roasted on the bonfire.
Although it is said that the roast is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and golden all over, there is no seasoning, just some salt sprinkled on it. How delicious can it be?
Anyway, Liu Yun ate it with relish, and Lu Chen ate the preserved meat from Liu Yun’s car.
After dinner or midnight snack, Liu Yun, who had been chattering all the way, finally got tired and returned to the carriage to rest.
Uncle Yang was leaning outside the carriage, leaving Lu Chen alone by the bonfire.
Taking a break or not is not necessary for those who have a good level of cultivation, but there is no harm in taking a break anyway.
And just as Lu Chen slowly closed his eyes, he suddenly felt a faint fishy smell floating in the wind.
"Um?"
He quickly opened his eyes and didn't get up too excitedly, but looked around carefully.
The moon in the sky was obscured by dark clouds that came from nowhere, and the only source of light was the fire in front of me, which was gradually shrinking.
Lu Chen noticed that Uncle Yang, who was leaning on the side of the carriage, also opened his eyes. It was obvious that he also felt something was wrong.
The vague fishy smell in the air became stronger, as if something was nearby.
Just by the faint firelight, Lu Chen didn't find anything wrong.
"Am I overthinking it? Maybe I'm too nervous..."
There seemed to be nothing wrong. Lu Chen shook his head slightly, laughed at himself, and closed his eyes again.
And at this moment, the killing sword that he placed in front of his knees suddenly unsheathed itself, and a ray of cold light carried the sharp sword energy and slashed behind him!
And behind Lu Chen, it was pitch black and empty!
"Choke!"
There was a sound of the collision of gold and iron mixed with a few sparks, and through the shining light, Lu Chen finally saw clearly what was attacking him.
This is a thing over one meter tall. It looks like a child, except that it is covered with hair.
The face is that of a monkey, with a mouth full of fangs, and there seems to be shreds of meat hanging from it.
The forearms have many advantages over ordinary humans, with sharp claws on them.
Obviously, it was this pair of iron claws that resisted his killing sword!
Seeing Lu Chen turn his head, the ghost-like thing grinned at him and roared, jumped back instantly, and disappeared into the darkness.
Lu Chen could feel that the strength of this thing was not too strong, it was probably on the fifth or sixth level of the Earth Element. If he wanted to, he could definitely keep this thing.
But he didn't want to chase him into the darkness. God knew what else was waiting for him in the darkness, and there might not be only one of them.
One or two is fine, but if there are more, it will definitely be a disaster for Lu Chen.
In fact, this kind of thing is simply a born assassin.
If the body odor on his body wasn't so strong, even if Lu Chen's strength was far superior to this thing, he might have caught him unawares.
"Senior, I wonder what this is?"
Lu Chen turned around and saw Uncle Yang sitting there as if he was an old god, and knew that this thing would never threaten him.
So he asked.
"You're a smart little kid! This thing's name is Shankui. It's said to be a monkey or a savage that turned into a spirit. No one knows how it came about.
It’s a kind of mountain spirit, but one thing is certain!
Every time this thing is dispatched, it always comes in pairs, or even in groups of three or five.
If you had rashly chased you into the forest just now, a group of people would have been waiting for you to attack, and I’m afraid there wouldn’t be any good results, right?”
Hearing Uncle Yang's words, Lu Chen really felt a layer of cold sweat break out on his back. This old guy was not a good guy. He saw himself wandering around at the critical moment of life and death without saying a word to remind him!
Fortunately, I was cautious and did not pursue him rashly, otherwise I might have ended up here today.
It was already past two o'clock at night, and the sky would become clear in a while, and they would be on the road again.
Lu Chen moved the bonfire this way and sat next to the bonfire. He waited until it got light, but did not encounter any more attacks.
Those guys can also feel that these two are not easy to get along with, so they won't keep a close eye on them.
In fact, the main prey of Shankui is some mountain beasts, or women and children.
Unless they are extremely hungry, even adult men rarely attack.
I don’t know why they launched an attack on Lu Chen and others yesterday.
The carriage was on the road again the next morning. Listening to Lu Chen vividly talking about what happened last night, Liu Yun really looked annoyed.
For this adventurous girl, missing something like this was enough to make her unhappy for a long time. She secretly made up her mind that she must not go to bed early tonight when she rested, because maybe something else would happen.
Unfortunately, the carriage happened to arrive at a small town on this day's trip, so naturally he would rest in a hotel in the town at night, so nothing exciting would happen to Liu Yun.
The dragon-scaled horse is very fast. Logically speaking, Li Wei and others only set out one day earlier than Lu Chen.
They should have caught up with each other during the day, but they didn't meet each other at all along the way.
Even when Lu Chen asked the store about the appearance of Li Wei and others, he didn't get any useful information.
This made Chase Lu feel somewhat different, and he gradually began to feel worried.
After resting for a night in this small town, nothing unexpected happened. It was just that Lingchen had been practicing cross-legged all night, but he did not fall asleep at all.
I really couldn't sleep, so I could only use spiritual practice to keep the spiritual platform clear.
There is only one way to go to Daze Secret Realm, which goes directly to Lingxi City.
As for senior brother Li Wei, he took Bai Yu and others, but they just set off one day earlier than him, so they had more time and there was no reason to rush on their way quickly.
According to the speed of the dragon scale horse, he should have caught up with them long ago!
But there was no news about them along the way, so Lingchen couldn't help but worry.
However, there was no news for the time being, so he had no choice but to follow Liu Yun and rush to Lingxi City.
I really hope to meet them in Lingxi City.
On the other side, Li Wei and others, whom Lingchen had always cared about, did encounter a big trouble.
Li Wei did not lead the disciples of Dongsheng College to take the main road. Instead, he opened a road through the mountains and built a bridge over the water to go straight to the secret land of Daze.
First of all, they are all practitioners, and there are no heavy carriages, so naturally there are not too many worries. Secondly, this can be regarded as a kind of spiritual practice, to understand and understand nature.
In this way, the path will naturally not overlap with that of Ling Chen, and there will be no news about them.
What they didn't expect was that they would accidentally run into the den of a group of bandits.
Although with Li Wei's Tianling-level cultivation, these bandits were easily captured, but it also wasted time. So at this moment, Ling Chen had actually rushed in front of Li Wei and others, but he still couldn't help himself.
You know, I'm still driving hard.
After a night of silence, the next morning they pulled up the rested dragon-scale horse. Liu Yun and Lingchen continued on the road, stopping and walking. The journey originally took more than ten days, but the two of them relied on this BMW horse to survive.
It arrived within ten days.
Looking at the city in front of me, which is very different in style, but very bustling with people coming and going, even with Ling Chen's current level of cultivation, after so many days of traveling, it is inevitable that it will be a bit dusty.
Liu Yun, who was even weaker than Ling Chen, was naturally very tired. Only Yang Shu, who had been sitting outside the carriage, still looked like an ordinary old slave, with no visible changes.
However, although he was exhausted after traveling for several days, Liu Yun still walked around happily looking at this city with a local style.
Because it is located close to Daze, there are many minority mountain people living near Lingxi City, and there are many local specialties. At this time, everyone gathered in Lingxi City, and it was naturally very lively.
The opening of the Daze Secret Land every seven years is definitely a grand event in the local area.
When Lingchen, Liu Yun and others entered the city, they could see that there were many planned stalls on both sides of the street in this city.
At this time, some people dressed in hand-skins and dressed as hunters were sitting behind the stall, with a piece of leather spread in front of them, and it became a stall.
On top of the stalls, there are some strange stones and some strange plants, old tree roots, rotten turf, and everything else.
Of course, the most popular items are all kinds of leather, scales, feathers, bones, and other materials from wild beasts, as well as some strange fish.
As the saying goes, people who rely on mountains and mountains rely on water to drink water. For the people of Lingxi City, they naturally rely on this large marsh for their livelihood.
"Lingchen, look at this! Does it look like a sword?"
At this time, Liu Yun was holding the tooth of an unknown animal and asked Ling Chen. Behind them, Uncle Yang stood there with a smile on his face, just like an ordinary old servant.
"Those are the tusks of a bloodthirsty wild boar, which are themselves the material used to make swords.
It’s just that we mostly use various metal minerals and rarely use these bone products.”
After hearing Lingchen's words, Liu Yun curled his lips and put the fang on the stall again.
At this time, the stall owner wearing animal skins behind the stall was indeed a little unhappy.
"What this little brother said makes no sense. A good bone weapon is no worse than a metal magical weapon!"
After taking a closer look at this unattractive guy covered in animal skins, Lingchen became somewhat interested.
