After leaving Xu Cheng, the man in black took Liu Hao towards the south.
Along the way, the man in black didn't say much.
Liu Hao asked a few questions, but the other party ignored him.
Even when eating, the other party doesn't talk much.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
In the afternoon of that day, the man in black took Liu Hao to a forest outside Shiyan City.
In a small valley in the woods, Liu Hao saw five people.
These five people are all middle-aged.
The leader was a man with a scar face.
On the back of this man was a large sword with a copper ring.
Among the other four middle-aged people, three have somewhat similar looks.
They look like three brothers.
However, the stature of these three people is very different.
One is as skinny as a stick, one is as fat as a pig, and the other is relatively normal, neither fat nor thin.
Behind these three people, they all carried a sword.
The last person was a bit different. It was a hot day, and he was wearing a thick cotton coat. His hair was long and flowing, covering his lowered head, making it difficult to see his face.
"Your Excellency must be Yang Chong!"
The man in black looked at the middle-aged man at the head and asked.
"it's me!"
The scar-faced middle-aged man replied.
Whoosh!
The man in black raised his hand, and a copper coin swayed in the air, then flicked it into the other person's hand.
Scarface took the copper coin, glanced at it, and asked, "Where is Chu Yuanxiong?"
"He has something to do and he can't get away. Let me send him here!"
The man in black pointed at Liu Hao and said, "His name is Liu Hao, and he is the person you are going to take with you on this trip!"
He added, "He only has one request, to ensure his safety as much as possible!"
After saying that, the man in black turned around and left.
"etc!"
Yang Chong shouted when he saw the man in black was leaving.
"If anything happens, just tell him!"
The man in black replied, "My task is only to deliver people, I don't care about other things!"
When the words fell, the person had disappeared into the woods.
"What does Chu Yuanxiong mean?"
At this time, the skinny middle-aged man frowned and said, "Let us help, is this your attitude?"
The tall middle-aged man said, "He doesn't take us seriously, doesn't he?"
"If you want me to see it, just leave it alone!"
The somewhat normal-looking middle-aged man said, "What the hell? Are you really treating us like servants?"
He added, "The person we were asked to bring is actually a person in the acquired realm!"
Yang Chong's face was also a little ugly, but he didn't speak and just looked at Liu Hao.
"Heiyin, what do you think?"
After a moment, Yang Chong spoke, but this was not a question to Liu Hao.
"Take it with you first!"
The middle-aged man with his head lowered spoke in an extremely gloomy and hoarse voice, "Just think of it as repaying his favor!"
"But isn't this guy's strength a little too weak?"
"Second brother, with his strength, he is simply a burden for us to carry!"
"The most important thing is that we may not be able to protect him yet!"
The other three people quickly objected.
"Whether he can survive or not is his own business!"
Hei Yin said in a hoarse voice.
"Your name is Liu Hao, right?"
Yang Chong said to Liu Hao at this time, "When Chu Yuanxiong asked you to come over, did he tell you where we were going?"
"Shi Yan Mountains!"
Liu Hao replied.
"Then do you know what kind of place the Shiyan Mountains are?"
Yang Chong asked again.
"The most dangerous place in Xu country!"
Liu Hao answered again.
"Do you know exactly how dangerous it is?"
"have no idea!"
"Then I'll tell you now!"
Yang Chong said, "The Shiyan Mountain Range is not only the most dangerous place in the Xu Kingdom, but also a notoriously dangerous place in the entire Hanyang Dynasty!"
"This risk is not only due to the dangerous terrain, but also because powerful spiritual beasts often appear in this mountain range!"
"With your strength, you probably don't know how powerful spiritual beasts are!"
"Let me use the simplest analogy. The weakest ordinary spirit beast can easily kill a spirit warrior of the same level in an instant!"
"Although the five of us are all spiritual warriors, in the Shiyan Mountains, we can only protect ourselves at most!"
"In other words, if you follow us, we can't guarantee your safety!"
Liu Hao nodded, "I understand!"
Yang Chong asked, "Then what do you mean...?"
"Follow you!"
Liu Hao replied firmly.
"idiot!"
"idiot!"
"Do you really think we're kidding you?"
"Do you know how many geniuses who are countless times more talented than you are dead inside?"
"Do you know how many spiritual warriors died inside?"
"..."
Suddenly, the other three people roared.
Liu Hao pretended not to hear anything and just stood there quietly.
"You must follow?"
Yang Chong asked again at this time.
"kindness!"
Liu Hao nodded.
"You must follow me!"
Yang Chong said, "But there are a few points that I must declare in advance!"
"First, when we don't let you make a sound, even if you are breathing, you have to keep it down for me!"
"Second, whatever we ask you to do, do it honestly!"
"Third, you must follow us every step of the way, and you are not allowed to run around without our permission!"
Hearing this, Liu Hao frowned, "What if I want to pick herbs?"
"You can pull the clothes of the person in front of you to pass the message to me. When we determine that it is safe, you will be allowed to pick it!"
Yang Chong said, "But if you mess around without permission, I can guarantee that you will die miserably!"
Then he said, "Also, I reminded you before, if we encounter trouble on the road, we will definitely find a way to protect ourselves first. By then, whether you live or die will have nothing to do with us!"
"good!"
Liu Hao nodded.
"Okay, just follow!"
Yang Chong waved his hand and said, "Let's go to Shiyan City first, rest for a day, and then enter the Shiyan Mountains tomorrow!"
Immediately, a group of people headed towards Shiyan City.
…
After entering Shiyan City, Yang Chong found a restaurant.
After everyone settled down, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Liu Hao also arranged a private room.
However, Liu Hao did not go back to his room, but stopped directly outside Yang Chong's room.
"Why don't you go back and rest?"
Yang Chong frowned and said, "After entering the Shiyan Mountains tomorrow, we may not even have time to rest at night!"
"I want to wander around Shiyan City!"
Liu Hao said.
"it's up to you!"
Yang Chong said, "However, if you hold us back by then, don't blame us for being unkind and throwing you into the Shiyan Mountains!"
"kindness!"
Although Yang Chong's words were a bit harsh, he didn't mean anything malicious.
Therefore, Liu Hao didn't pay too much attention.
After saying yes, he left the restaurant.
…
After Liu Hao left, Yang Chong entered Heiyin's room.
At this time, Heiyin was standing by the window looking out.
But the strange thing is that the window is closed.
I don't know what he is looking at.
"What is he going to do?"
When Yang rushed in, Hei Yin asked.
"He said he wanted to go down and take a look around!"
Yang Chong said, "Anyway, this Shiyan City is relatively safe, so I will let him go!"
Hei Yin nodded and said nothing more.
"What do you think of that boy?"
Yang Chong asked.
"What do you think?"
Hei Yin asked rhetorically.
"Chu Yuanxiong had communicated with me in person before, and told me very carefully, asking me to take care of him!"
Yang Chong said, "At that time, I thought that someone who could be so valued by Chu Yuanxiong should be pretty strong, so I agreed without thinking too much!"
"But now it seems that Chu Yuanxiong is more like playing tricks on us!"
"It's okay if he can't come by himself, but he actually arranged for a junior in the acquired realm to be given to us!"
"Don't he know that the place we are going to is the Shiyan Mountains?"
"That place, even if it's just on the periphery, there are some places that require at least the innate realm to survive!"
Hei Yin shook his head and said, "We have dealt with Chu Yuanxiong a lot, and you should also know that he is not the kind of person who is clueless!"
He added, "If he doesn't have a certain degree of certainty, he can't send people here!"
"That's why I resisted the urge to kick people away!"
Yang Chong said, "But I still don't believe that this kid has any great abilities!"
"Let's see then!"
Hei Yin said, "Anyway, I have already told him what needs to be said. The outcome depends on his own ability!"
Yang Chong shook his head with some disappointment, "I heard you say you should keep people before, I thought you saw something!"
"That boy..."
Heiyin shook his head, "I can't see clearly!"
Then he said, "I just know that his Dantian is a little weird!"
"What kind of weird method?"
Yang Chong asked.
Hei Yin shook his head and said no more.
Seeing this scene, Yang Chong knew that the second brother obviously didn't understand it either.
Immediately, without asking any more questions, he turned around and returned to his room.
…
After leaving the restaurant, Liu Hao walked towards the city gate.
Of course he didn't want to leave Shiyan City.
But when he came in, he saw a street here.
There is a sign hanging on this street with two words written on it - Fangshi!
He just wanted to come and see if there was anything good here.
When he arrived at Fangshi, Liu Hao walked in directly.
Fangshi is a very wide street.
As soon as you step into the street, you can see rows of shops on both sides.
At the end, there is a large hall occupying an extremely large area.
It seems to be an auction house.
In front of the auction house, there is a square.
The square was crowded with people and seemed very lively.
Looking from a distance, you can see many people setting up stalls there.
A market like this is not found in every city.
Not even the main city of Xu Kingdom like Xu City.
On the contrary, it is easier to see surrounding cities in some remote places and dangerous areas.
After all, in a place like this, there are many people who are eager to take action after obtaining resources.
Liu Hao did not go to those shops to look inside, but went directly towards the small square...
