On the rugged path, there were trees on both sides. Two figures ran quickly on the path with vigorous and sharp steps, as fast as galloping horses, but lighter than galloping horses.
"You really don't need my help?" Lieying was still nagging: "You have to know that the three village owners of Kuangsha Water Village are all sword masters, and there are more than ten swordsmen in the water village.
indivual."
"You're alone. If you break in, you might be cut into pieces." Lie Ying said without being polite at all.
Moreover, Chen Zong also discovered that she loves money, otherwise she would not have to bargain with him along the way.
But Lieying's love for money was not unprincipled. She asked to assist Chen Zong in his actions, and the two of them joined forces to destroy Kuang Shark Water Village. As for all the wealth, they would naturally share it equally.
But Chen Zong refused and was only willing to pay a golden sword leaf for traveling expenses.
If you lead the way, you can get a golden sword leaf, which is also very good.
However, Hunter Shadow was obviously not satisfied.
"If you don't like it, you can leave." Chen Zong responded lukewarmly.
"You..." Lie Ying said very clearly: "A cold-faced person."
After running for more than ten miles, Hunter Shadow's breath began to become uncomfortable, but Chen Zong's breathing was still very steady and his breath was still smooth.
After running for a few more miles, Lieying couldn't hold on anymore. Sweat continued to seep from his forehead and flow down his face, asking for a rest.
On the other hand, Chen Zong is calm and relaxed.
"How did you practice?" Lie Ying was very curious. Chen Zong shrugged and said with a smile: "A golden sword leaf."
"Forget it if you don't tell me." With a snort, Lieying pretended to be disdainful, but in fact he was very curious in his heart. Such amazing physical endurance is very important for a lone traveler.
That means the ability to run and escape.
The friendship is extensive, and Chen Zong will not give random advice just because the other person is a girl. Any skill, whether simple or advanced, is learned through many trials and should not be passed on lightly. Passing lightly means not paying enough attention to it.
According to Chen Zong, Lieying's body strength has not yet been developed to its extreme.
After all, this Sword-Fuxing Kingdom is a country of ordinary people. In the world of ordinary people, even swordsmen only continue to practice swordsmanship and increase their physical strength. But in the end, they only reach the limit of the human body and cannot go beyond it.
His own body has reached its limit, but Lieying obviously hasn't.
Another point is the application of his own control and strength. At this point, Chen Zong has also reached the extreme. With the combination of the two, Chen Zong can maintain most of his physical strength and endurance after running for more than ten miles.
In this way, high-intensity combat can be maintained for a longer period of time.
breathe!
Chen Zong's breathing was very steady and long, and had a strange rhythm. Only he could feel it. Under this strange breathing rhythm, the energy consumed was quickly restored. Soon, Chen Zong took out some dried meat to eat.
.
Although the taste is very ordinary, dried meat can better supplement its own consumption.
After eating, rest for a while, and then continue on the road after recovering your strength.
This small road will save dozens of miles to reach Kuangsha Water Village than taking the main road.
Crazy Shark Water Village is located in a long river and specializes in plundering passing ships.
In a world without extraordinary power, there are no secret treasures to store, and only carriages, horses or boats can be used to transport goods. Therefore, banditry is prevalent.
There are cottages and water forts all over the place, occupying hilltops, etc. There are some powerful bandit groups that even make the country feel troublesome.
Kuangsha Water Village is actually only a small one among the many bandit groups.
He can only commit evil within the confines of a small town like Hongdong City.
It is not that the City Lord's Mansion in Hongdong City has not deployed troops to encircle and suppress it, but it is helpless. The location of Kuang Shark Water Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are ten swordsmen and three sword masters. Together with crossbows and arrows, the City Lord's Mansion can be defended.
Despite many casualties, they still failed to break through the water stronghold.
In desperation, we can only post a notice and offer a large reward to see if there is an expert who reveals the list.
There were people who announced the list several times before and after, but they all failed, so the bounty increased more and more, until the current one hundred gold sword leaves.
In the eyes of many people, Chen Zong, who is unveiled this time, will also follow in the footsteps of those who came before him.
Next to the long river, directly opposite, is Kuangsha Water Village, built under a mountain wall hundreds of meters high.
If it were in the world of cultivators, being able to fly would not matter a few hundred meters, nor would it mean a few thousand meters.
But in such a world, once you fall from a height of hundreds of meters, you will be like a meat pie, and you will die. Even those at the extreme level like Chen Zong will still die.
As for throwing rocks down from hundreds of meters high mountain walls to destroy water fortresses, this idea has not been mentioned by anyone, and some people have tried it, but it is difficult because there are many terrible beasts living on the mountain.
Very strong.
In addition, Kuangsha Water Village also knew this and had already taken various precautions.
On the shore, Lieying pointed to the opposite side, which was at least several thousand meters away. With her eyesight, she could only see a vague outline.
"Are you planning to sneak in secretly?" Lieying asked, this is normal thinking.
Either attack from the outside, or sneak in and assassinate.
It is simply unrealistic for two people to attack from the outside, unless they have several times the strength of the water stronghold.
Then there is only one method left, which is to sneak in secretly and carry out an assassination. There is a possibility of success.
In fact, the mission of hunting shadow has been completed, and she led the way, but she has not yet obtained the golden sword leaves, because Chen Zong has no golden sword leaves at all, only a few copper sword leaves are left.
Only by completing this mission can you get the reward of the golden sword leaf.
"Find a small boat." Chen Zong did not answer Lie Ying's words, but ordered, and naturally regarded Lie Ying as his subordinate.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not your subordinate." Lieying was dissatisfied.
"Add another golden sword leaf." Chen Zongdao.
"If you fail, I won't get anything." Although he said this, Lieying still looked for the boat honestly.
There is no way, the temptation of Golden Sword Leaf is too great, not to mention, if the other party dies, I will just waste some time, it is worth trying.
Soon, Lieying found a small boat. It was very small, only about two meters long.
"Row the boat and add a piece of golden sword leaf." Chen Zong ordered naturally.
"No." This time, Lieying resisted Jin Jianye's temptation and even asked her to row a boat to die.
"Five golden sword leaves." Chen Zong increased the price.
"...No..." This time, Lieying refused very hard and struggled.
"Ten." Chen Zong increased the price again.
"...Okay..." When the word "no" came to his lips, it became the word "good". Lie Ying wished he could give himself a piece of cake, because sooner or later he would die because of money.
But what she was thinking about was that if something bad happened, she would immediately dive into the water to escape. As a lone traveler, she might not be strong enough, but she had a variety of abilities and could easily cross mountains and rivers.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Lieying sat behind the boat and paddled the oars. There was a slight splashing sound as the water broke, and layers of ripples continued to stir under the oars. The speed of the boat became faster and faster, splitting the water surface.
There are many ripples.
The wind mixed with the moisture from the river blew towards Chen Zong's face, making Chen Zong feel refreshed.
"Hey, swordsman, what's your strength?" Lieying suddenly remembered something. It seemed that he hadn't asked about the opponent's strength level from the beginning to now.
If they are at the sword master level, then if the two of them work together, even if they are unable to complete the mission, they should still be able to save their lives.
"I don't know." Chen Zong told the truth. It has not been verified and he does not know his own strength. However, Chen Zong will not underestimate others, nor will he underestimate himself.
With a body like his own, application of strength, combat experience, sword skills, etc., he is definitely not weak.
Hunter Shadow suddenly felt despair, his future was dark, and he seemed to be rushing towards death.
Several thousand meters is not short, but it is still gradually shortening, and the boat continues to approach Kuang Shark Water Village.
On the water village, there were water bandits standing in the sentry tower watching, then they locked onto Chen Zong and issued a warning.
Soon, a group of water bandits armed with crossbows stood at the edge of the water village, lined up, all with their crossbows loaded, and the cold light shone in the sunlight.
stop!
Hunting Shadow immediately rowed his oars backwards, causing the boat to stop.
At this distance, crossbows are no threat.
"Swordsman, let's go back." Lie Ying was scared. He couldn't help but to be scared. Twenty crossbow arrows were fired in a volley, directly shooting into a sieve, killing him to death.
"Keep moving forward." Chen Zong said unhurriedly.
"I don't want to die." Lieying roared, "Even if you give me a hundred golden sword leaves, I won't agree."
But Chen Zong felt that the other person's last sentence seemed a bit false.
However, the other party expressed this, but Chen Zong had no intention of forcing her.
Soon, Chen Zong removed several wooden boards from both sides of the boat. Under Lie Ying's gaze, which had no idea what Chen Zong was going to do, Chen Zong seemed to throw a wooden board forward casually.
The wooden board made an extremely sharp sound of breaking through the air, as fast as a sharp arrow leaving its string, causing Lieying's pupils to shrink.
It seems to be thrown casually, but it actually contains amazing power. What kind of body is this, one of those large beasts?
But, what's the use of throwing this board?
It is impossible to row across a few hundred meters and attack the water bandits on the water village.
In the next scene, both the hunter and the water bandits all had their eyes widened, as if they were looking at gods.
I saw Chen Zong leaping up, flying out after the wooden plank, and then landed.
As if by coincidence, his feet landed on the wooden board, sank slightly, and then rushed forward quickly as if riding the wind and waves.
A wooden board less than half a meter is actually carrying a person sliding forward quickly on the water. It is simply an incredible scene, which will make people think that they are hallucinating.
Gradually, the speed of the board began to decrease.
Chen Zong threw out the second plank and jumped up again. The plank under his feet instantly shattered and sank into the water, only to be lifted up by a wave of water.
In this way, Chen Zong quickly approached the water village and was already within a hundred meters.
"Shoot, shoot, shoot him." A little boss woke up first, reacted quickly, and gave the order immediately.
This is a powerful crossbow. Within a hundred meters, it is just the right distance. A salvo of twenty powerful crossbows will definitely penetrate the opponent.
