Panting, Hu Hai climbed over a hilltop, slumped there and said to Lin Ze, who was calm and composed beside him: "Lin Ze, how long will it take to climb over? I really can't climb anymore."
Lin Ze's expression remained unchanged and he said: "Come on, after climbing a few hills, we will reach the top. It will be much easier to go down the mountain."
Hu Hai's face turned green when he heard this, and he couldn't help but said: "You are lying, this is the fifth time you have told me how many hills are left. I believed your lies and kept going up."
climb."
Lin Ze couldn't help but look back at him and said, "Master, since you know you can't get the result by asking, why do you still ask?"
Hu Hai...
Lin Ze then added: "This is actually the seventh time I told the young master how many hills are left."
Hu Hai...
Hu Hai was lying on the ground very angry, planning not to fall for Lin Ze's trick again, even if he was beaten to death, he would not get up.
Seeing this, Lin Ze pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth and shouted to the back: "Miss Lu, Miss Yu, you are so strong, we are catching up again."
Hu Hai, who was lying on the ground, immediately jumped up from the ground and stood up as if he had been given a shot of blood. He tried hard to control his legs from shaking and looked back with a smile.
Sure enough, Lu Pheasant and Yu Rou, whose hair was wet with sweat, slowly walked over.
Hu Hai pretended to be kind and asked: "This mountain is indeed difficult to climb. Do you two girls need to rest for a while before setting off again?"
Yu Rou and Lu Fei looked at each other and said in unison: "No, we can bear it and continue moving forward."
Hu Hai felt a little bitter in his heart. You can bear it, but I can't bear it anymore.
An inexplicable smile flashed across Lin Ze's face. The reason why the two girls were able to persevere was not only because they were fourth-level warriors with good physical strength, but also because of Lin Ze's inducement.
Long before climbing the mountain, Lin Ze told the two of them that challenging their own limits would help them improve their martial arts skills faster, so the two girls would grit their teeth and persevere.
At least in Lin Ze's view, Hu Hai, who was suddenly promoted to the fifth level of martial arts, needed to face similar extreme challenges.
Hu Hai's martial arts qualifications are actually not weak, and his martial arts resources are extremely sufficient. Under such conditions, although he cannot compare with cheaters like himself, he must still surpass Zhang Han and the others.
However, he didn't surpass much, not even two more small steps, all because Hu Hai's martial arts will was too weak.
Lin Ze deliberately seized the opportunity to train him this time. Even Lu Pheasant and Yu Rou were secretly set up by him to force Hu Hai to persevere for the sake of face.
After finally climbing over another hill, several men wearing blue robes and carrying long swords walked down the mountain.
The middle-aged man at the head glanced at Lin Ze and others, and couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Is this Mr. Hu Hai?"
Lin Ze took a step forward and asked, "Who are you?"
The leading middle-aged man raised his hands and said: "Jing Meng, the chief disciple of Jiange, came down the mountain to greet Mr. Hu Hai on the order of the Pavilion Master, but I didn't expect to meet you all this time. May I ask who is Mr. Hu Hai? The Pavilion Master has specially ordered me,
We welcome the young master to stay in Jiange for a few days."
Hu Hai rolled his eyes when he heard this and asked: "Hey, how far is this place from Jiange?"
Jingmeng replied honestly: "It's less than twenty miles, just over three mountains."
Upon hearing this, Hu Hai faced Lin Ze and asked: "Lin Ze, is the Jiange Pavilion at the top?"
Lin Ze nodded gently.
Hu Hai said with great joy: "I didn't expect you were right this time. There are really a few hills left before we reach the top. By the way, shall we go to Jiange?"
Lin Ze said decisively: "Of course I'm going." Jiange was one of the largest forces in Shu, and he was the one Lin Ze planned to win over, so he was naturally happy to be a guest.
Besides, Lin Ze and the others came up first, but Han Xin and the Sirius Army were still behind.
No matter how good the physical strength of soldiers with second or third level martial arts is, they can't compare to Lin Ze and others who are above the fourth level of martial arts. It's best to wait.
Jingmeng looked at Lin Ze and Hu Hai muttering, and couldn't help but remind him: "I wonder who is Mr. Hu Hai, why are you hiding and not coming out to see him?"
Hu Hai said unhappily: "Who hid? I am always in front of you, right?"
Jing Meng hurriedly walked over with a smile on her face, only to find two men in black in front of her, looking at her coldly, like poisonous snakes in the forest.
Jingmeng suddenly realized how could the real Master Hu Hai not be protected by martial arts masters. This was it.
Jing Meng was not bothered, and he bowed to Hu Hai across the black bat and Yaksha people and said: "The mountain people pay homage to Master Hu Hai, please accompany the mountain people to the sword pavilion to rest for a few days, and show your friendship as a landlord."
Hu Hai, who had received Lin Ze's secret promise, waved his little hand and said: "Lead the way, I am very curious that your Jiange Sect is built on such a high mountain. Please take me to see it. I don't know how you usually live."
of."
Jingmeng smiled slightly and said: "Please come with me, Master, and stay at Jiange Pavilion for a few days, then we will find out."
Immediately leading the way, Hu Hai, who knew that the mountain climbing was about to end, suddenly gained strength from nowhere and strode forward, and from time to time encouraged Lu Pheasant and Yu Rou behind him to speed up.
Although it was only twenty miles away, Lin Ze and others walked for a full half an hour before arriving at the entrance of Jiange.
Jingmeng secretly sent out a signal when she received Hu Hai and others. When Hu Hai and others arrived, the master of the Jiange Pavilion was already waiting in front of the door with a group of elders.
The master of the Sword Pavilion is named Luo Shan, and he is a fat old man. His face looks gentle, but from time to time he reveals a hint of sharp sword energy, which makes people feel a faint pain.
After Luoshan saluted Hu Hai, he directly led Hu Hai and others into the living room and arranged for people to deliver melons and fruits.
After sitting down, Luo Shan took the initiative and said: "Young Master has come all the way to be a guest of my Jiange. It is really an honor for my Jiange. If you don't mind, I will stay for a few more days and I will treat you well."
Hu Hai was full of promises and said: "This is easy to say. If you have fun here, I will stay for a few more days."
Luo Shan immediately pulled out Jing Meng and said, "When the young master is a guest at Jiange, Jing Meng will be by your side. If the young master has any orders, just arrange it for him."
Hu Hai nodded: "How about you tell me what's fun in Jiange first, and then I can see you one by one?"
Luoshan and Jingmeng were immediately stumped. There seemed to be nothing interesting in the Jiange Pavilion. In this way, it seemed that the young master could not be satisfied, so he couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.
At this time, Lin Ze came out to relieve the siege and said: "Since it is called Jiange, it is naturally famous for its swordsmanship. Master, why don't you watch the exquisite swordsmanship of Jiange?"
