Chapter 70: Stabilizing the Team Before the Battle
The Endless Forest is one of the five most dangerous places in Zhongzhou. It is located in the eastern part of Zhongzhou. It is the closest place to Shangjing City. Every year, there is an endless stream of people who go there to explore, but most people only wander around. The depths of the Endless Forest
Even war warriors find it difficult to approach. It is said that there are super-level creatures appearing inside, and there are even rumors that the expedition team heard dragon roars. This is also the hiding place for many fugitives who have committed heinous crimes.
"There is a sacred stone in the endless forest!" Jin Ruofeng's information came from Yinlongyuan.
Mo Zhengkun once recorded in a travel note that although the Endless Forest is extremely dangerous, it is a paradise for some people. It is not under the jurisdiction of Zhongzhou and only believes in strength. He once met a person in the Endless Forest.
There was a gang of more than a dozen robbers, and there were actually high-grade spiritual stones in the humble den of thieves. He even found two divine stones in the leader's treasure chest.
Of course, Mo Zhengkun didn't say that almost all of the bandit gang he encountered had the strength of a fourth-level warrior, and even their leader was a warrior. Perhaps Mo Zhengkun thought that the strength of these people was not worthy of him.
The chief talisman and seal master of the Military Academy mentioned.
This news was not deliberately concealed, but it made Jin Ruofeng suffer a lot.
It's one thing to know what the Divine Stone is, but it's another thing entirely if anyone knows about the Divine Stone.
"Is there a sacred stone in the Endless Forest?" The one who was most surprised was naturally Lu Kanglai. The number of sacred stones that this guy had seen was probably dozens of times more than the remaining people. However, even in Zhanyunguan, this thing was extremely rare, even more rare than the remaining ones.
High-level demon cores are all precious.
"That's right!" Jin Ruofeng said with a smile, "I just don't know if we are destined to meet!"
"Do you know where it is?" **'s eyes were also full of excitement.
Jin Ruofeng shook his head: "I don't know, but we may have some clues when we get there!"
The originally boring trip was instantly shattered by Jin Ruofeng's news. In several important towns, Lin Mu was the first to rush out to find clues about the endless forest. He refused to let go of any news and cast a wide net.
Under the silver bullet offensive, several people who originally knew almost nothing about the Endless Forest also had a large number of valuable clues in their hands. Several people started researching it to see where the sacred stone would be.
However, after researching and researching, several people found that this endless forest should not be underestimated. Hundreds of warriors die here every year, including fourth-level warriors like ** and Shi Mang, and even warriors.
With the news of Ye's death, the name of the Five Fierce Lands is indeed not for nothing.
Sanquanhe is a large town. Although it is not as good as some county towns, it is much more prosperous than ordinary towns. The arrival of the Gale Beast Car made many people stop there to watch. After all, such a luxurious car can drive
It's not something you can see on a daily basis.
Lin Mu parked the Gale Beast Car at the largest inn in Sanquan River. Shi Mang jumped out first. As a dedicated guard, he must ensure Jin Ruofeng's safety. The moment Shi Mang landed, the crowd
Some ill-intentioned expressions flashed away, and a fourth-level earth element warrior could be hired as a guard. The people inside were either rich or noble. If you want to deal with this kind of fat sheep, you can use other than ordinary methods.
realized.
The boy at the inn was of course a good judge of things. He ran a few steps quickly and came to the beast cart. Before he could get close, Shi Mang's ghost-headed sword came to him in an instant. The cold blade even chopped off several of the boy's arms.
The little boy was so frightened that his hair fell away and he was stunned.
When the shopkeeper saw this, he quickly came over and bowed his hands in greeting: "I didn't know that the arrival of our distinguished guest would be a disappointment. Our hotel is the most high-end inn in Sanquanhe. Please stay here!"
Lin Mu in the carriage almost laughed out loud. Lu Kanglai winked at Jin Ruofeng: "It seems that Shi Mang is really a good guard material!"
Jin Ruofeng and others walked out of the carriage, without even looking at the shopkeeper, and went straight into the inn lobby.
"I want a yard, and I don't want idlers waiting around!" Lu Kanglai took on the responsibility of the small team's external entertainment. Although Lin Mu was more suitable for this job, Lin Mu's strength was too weak and he was easily looked down upon by others at certain times.
Lu Kanglai was different. He was a high-level warrior. In addition, he had lived in Zhanyunguan, so the aura of iron and blood still came out unnaturally. This was also extremely sensitive to some people who licked blood from the edge of a knife.
It can also reduce some unnecessary troubles.
Although the Spirit Stone is easier to use at any time, Lu Kanglai still threw out a bag of money, which also caused some ill-intentioned people to make mistakes. Except for Shi Mang and Lu Kanglai, the other three people were all wearing casual clothes, especially
It's **, and he's carrying a fan in his hand, shaking it wherever he goes, just like a rich man going out.
Although the shopkeeper has seen countless people, he can't figure out what these guys called luxury car drivers do. It can be said that they are young masters going out, but there are no women here. Maybe they are merchants doing business, and they don't look like they look at their age.
However, the price of being able to have a fourth-level warrior as a guard is not low, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford.
"Are these guests staying permanently? Or will they leave later?"
"Maybe stay here for a few more days and ask your guys to inform the Chamber of Commerce and bring the beast cart back!" Lu Kang came to see Lin Mu and others and said, "In addition, I will serve your specialty dishes to the table. Yours will be indispensable.
benefit!"
"Okay, okay!" The shopkeeper immediately ordered the clerk to go to the Chamber of Commerce and inquire about the origins of this group of people.
Sanquan River is quite famous for its food. Although the Endless Forest is dangerous, it is also a place that produces all kinds of delicacies. Especially the preparation of low-level monsters is famous in Zhongzhou, so you can't miss it when you go to Sanquan River.
Although Jin Ruofeng has eaten monsters before, it was the leftovers left over from the Suwei army killing the monsters after every monster attack. However, this was also a very rare delicacy for the Tunjun households, and naturally it was created
There are many dishes with quite wild flavors.
Compared with Changfeng City, Sanquanhe naturally does not have such worries. All their materials are purchased at high prices from the hunting teams that broke into the endless forest. Naturally, they will not waste it wantonly. They will cultivate it intensively and form a unique
The flavor and consumption are naturally not too low.
A table full of dishes was served quickly. Even a master like Lin Mu, who had eaten at many wealthy families in the capital city, could only recognize a few of them and didn't recognize the rest at all, let alone the rest.
A few bumpkin fell in love.
Lin Mu started directly and tore off a piece of roasted flesh of some kind of demonic beast and put it into his mouth. Jin Ruofeng was not the kind of person who ate in a disciplined manner. He also stood up and grabbed it on his own plate. When the other people saw this, they also saw it.
No need to be polite anymore, they are all warriors and they still care about what they do.
"Why are you so polite! Eat!" ** pulled Shi Mang, who was a little dazed, "Lin Mu treats you, you don't have to pay for it!"
"Yes! Since we are on the same boat, we are partners. Jin Ruofeng doesn't care about what happened in the past, so what else are you thinking about?" Lin Mu muttered with meat in his mouth. He just started
At that time, he did not agree with Jin Ruofeng inviting Shi Mang, but after Jin Ruofeng pointed out Shi Mang's advantages, Lin Mu suddenly discovered that this guy was a good partner, provided that he recognized his identity.
Along the way, Lin Mu and Jin Ruofeng were also observing Shi Mang. After all, whether it was the endless forest or chasing Mukui, Shi Mang was shouldering the responsibility of safety. If something unexpected happened, Lu Kanglai and ** could escape, and the two of them could
That's troublesome.
The little barrier in Shi Mang's heart was instantly melted. Ever since he left the academy, he had never been treated so favorably. Many people took a fancy to him and regarded him as a thug, a person who charged into battle.
"Shi Mang, you know, I didn't agree with Ruofeng's invitation to you at the beginning!" After drinking a few glasses of fruit wine, Lin Mu went over and patted Shi Mang's shoulder and said, "Let's not talk about your bad temper.
That insidious move almost caused Jin Ruofeng to completely lose the opportunity to become a seal master. Based on this alone, you two can be considered enemies!"
"You're right!" Shi Mang also knew that his original move was more insidious, but he couldn't figure it out. It was Song Feng's idea.
"However, when Jin Ruofeng was preparing to come to the south, the first thing he thought of was you! I wasn't even included!" Lin Mu snorted dissatisfiedly at Jin Ruofeng, while Jin Ruofeng smiled and raised his hand at the two of them.
Wine glass.
"He said that Shi Mang is not a bad person, but he is also a miserable person. He was able to achieve the strength of a fourth-level martial artist in ten years despite having his spiritual veins damaged. Only he himself may know the suffering during this process!"
"I am a five-series miscellaneous spirit root, as you all know, and I know what poor qualifications bring!" Jin Ruofeng stood up and came to the two of them, "I am also from Changfeng City, and I also know people in trouble.
What will you do? Shi Mang, you don’t have to
Because of this matter, the Su Wei Army once drove thousands of military households out to serve as bait to lure the monsters in order to protect the outer defense line of Changfeng City. However, their relatives could only watch as the monsters mouthed off.
Eat them up!"
Jin Ruofeng raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and then followed up, "I was nearby at the time! One of my good friends was among the bait, but he went there voluntarily for the sake of his companions!"
Lin Mu had never heard Jin Ruofeng say such a thing. Even Lu Kanglai, who also lived in a place where he was fighting monsters, had never heard of it. The lively banquet seemed to have stopped for an instant. Everyone's mood was very complicated. If he faced
Would you also do this kind of thing in that situation?
"So, in a difficult situation, you may be forced to do anything!" Jin Ruofeng stared at Shi Mang and said, "But what I want to say is, if we are true friends, I don't want this kind of thing
It happens again! Even in difficult times, we have to fight together! Can you do it?"
Shi Mang was stunned. His hand holding the wine glass was trembling. He didn't know how to answer Jin Ruofeng, could he? Or...
