Since ancient times, it has been an area that humans have longed for and held great awe in. It is also a place that has been praised and talked about by countless people.
it's here.
Even an ordinary casual cultivator may become rich overnight and be lucky enough to obtain more wealth than he can spend in his lifetime.
it's here.
Even a strong person in the Heavenly Realm may unfortunately die without any trace of his body.
In the outer world, there is no absolute security.
Therefore, as soon as he stepped into the outer realm, Wang Shouzhe ordered everyone to be alert and put on leather armor made of third-level crocodile dragon leather.
This kind of leather armor is difficult to cut with ordinary swords, and it is not very heavy. Its combat effectiveness is relatively cost-effective.
At the same time, the four stronger home generals took the lead, and they were distributed in a fan shape at the front of the team.
This is the outpost.
The role of the outpost is to clear the way and detect in advance any possible enemy situations, such as ferocious beasts or ferocious beasts. Once they observe the enemy situation, they will not engage in combat with the enemy. Instead, they will send out different sounding arrows depending on the situation to warn them immediately.
Retreat backward.
In this way, the main team in the middle will have advance preparation and sufficient reaction time.
In addition, there are three weaker players who will act as defenders. They are scattered behind and on the sides of the main team to prevent ferocious beasts or enemies from attacking from the rear.
They are usually very vigilant and keep their vision open.
If there are more manpower, flank guards can also be arranged, etc.
However, the Wang family is short of manpower and the team is relatively small, so everything is kept simple.
There are a total of ten carriages in the main team.
These carriages were replaced by Wang Shouzhe's heavy-duty draft horses from the North. These draft horses have very strong endurance and pulling power, and are well-trained and courageous. They will not fall into a state of panic and confusion when encountering ferocious beasts.
.
Among the carriages, except the ancestor.
The rest are loaded with various supplies.
Such as spare weapons and equipment, arrow consumables, fishing nets, tents, ropes, quilts, clothing, water, ordinary food, white jade rice, oil, pots and pans, and even many kinds of elixirs, etc.
There is even a lot of smokeless charcoal and so on.
The entire autumn and winter hunting generally lasts from fifteen days to about a month, and the consumption of horse chews is a huge amount. During this process, the weather will gradually become cooler, and various cold-proof supplies are inevitable.
This made Wang Shouzhe sigh with emotion. In his previous life, when he read fantasy novels, people would go out to hunt wild monsters and so on, and they would travel lightly and casually.
Why did he end up here? Going out to hunt in the wild was like moving. He even brought several baskets of pots and pans with him.
As for storage bracelets, there are some in the world.
However, the lowest-level storage space bracelet is only one cubic meter, and it is also a spiritual weapon level!
Wang's family is a small family and cannot afford high-end goods.
What's more, one or two storage bracelets are completely useless in team battles.
The juniors represented by Wang Luoqiu and Wang Luojing, as well as girls such as Wang Lizi, participated in the autumn and winter hunting activities for the first time.
They were extremely excited, as if they had left the outside world and there were monsters everywhere for them to fight, and they were already gearing up for a big fight.
Unfortunately!
They think too much.
The outer realm is so vast. If the land is full of ferocious beasts, can humans still survive?
Not to mention ferocious beasts, in fact, even ordinary carnivorous beasts occupy a large territory. Moreover, this is the outskirts of the Outer Territory, and has been raided countless times by humans. Even if you want to find a group of hyenas, you can't find them.
Very easy.
But even so, the team still moved very cautiously.
As the saying goes, anything can happen in the outer realm.
Maybe while walking, a fourth-level or even fifth-level beast suddenly appears. Of course, this probability is extremely low.
"Shou Zhe!" Wang Shouxin, who was also fully armed, rode over on horseback. He was already in his forties and had been to the outside world countless times. He was an old horse who knew the way.
He held a map and said to Wang Shouzhe: "According to the plan drawn up before departure, we need to arrive at Tupo Camp before Shen Shichu. The team is currently moving at a slow pace."
It was around three to five o'clock in the afternoon. Wang Shouxin meant that he needed to arrive at the camping site before three o'clock.
The team needs to settle down while it is still light. Otherwise, if it gets dark and the camp is not set up, it will not only be dangerous, but also lead to low morale and so on.
That's right, although humans have no place to live and breed in the outer world.
However, the ancestors would naturally carve out simple strongholds and campsites on favorable terrain according to the terrain. After generations of management and reinforcement, those strongholds had some defensive capabilities.
Moreover, it is absolutely impossible for any family to run around like a headless fly when they go to the outside world. The route of action, the battle plan, and the supplies that need to be carried all need to be accurately calculated and discussed repeatedly.
"Send the order, the whole team speeds up." Wang Shouzhe ordered to speed up.
The speed of the entire team has increased slightly. But the road ahead will become increasingly difficult.
The roads that were originally traveled will become overgrown with weeds, or a lot of plants will appear, or even simple routes will be washed away after floods.
If you encounter some rocks or plants blocking the road, you have to clean them up.
Why do you want to go to foreign lands in late autumn and early winter? It naturally contains the accumulated experience of generations of ancestors. From spring to early summer, it is easy to have continuous rainy seasons. If not done properly, flash floods will break out and various dangers will arise.
Even if there is no flash flood, the mountains are winding and the dirt roads are muddy. Once there is too much rain, it will be difficult to walk on the road.
However, summer is too hot, and wild beasts and ferocious beasts are not very active. It is also very unsuitable for humans to hunt on the road in this kind of temperature and environment.
As for winter, not only is food scarce and prey hides in winter, but it is also more likely to be covered in heavy snow and close the mountains.
After autumn, the climate becomes dry, and vines and other plants wither. Some wild fruits and seeds have already produced fruits.
The maturation of a large amount of food will attract many animals to eat and store fat, or even store food to survive the winter. Some wild beasts and ferocious beasts will also enter an active hunting stage to store up energy to survive the winter.
Therefore, only this season is most suitable for hunting in foreign lands.
The journey was swaying along without stopping. The road was bumpy, difficult, and even boring.
Occasionally, someone's horse's leg would be pinned, and the horse could only be replaced with a spare horse. Fortunately, Wang Shouzhe was there, and he quietly treated the horse's leg to avoid running out of horses later.
After walking for several hours, the road became increasingly difficult.
There was also a scene where a huge boulder of seven to eight tons blocked the road, and a concerted effort had to be made to pry it away.
Wang Luoqiu and Wang Luojing, who were originally gearing up to fuck the ferocious beast, began to feel listless.
I heard what the fourth brother said nicely, Luo Qiu, Luo Jing, the fourth brother will take you to the outside world to fight ferocious beasts, and you will have meat to eat.
The results of it?
After walking for most of the day, I didn't see even a single beast. I only saw some small animals and birds. They ran away when they saw people from a distance. Their reactions were faster than Wang Luoqiu's, and their speed was extremely slow.
"Luoqiu, the journey of the empress begins with a single step." Wang Shouzhe said comfortingly, "Maybe while we are walking, a fifth-level beast with blind eyes will crash and die at the foot of the mountain?"
"Fourth brother, you can only keep these words back to coax Luo Miao." Wang Luoqiu rolled her eyes and shouted to Wang Lizi, "Eldest niece, aren't you very good at finding delicious food? Why haven't you said anything for so long?
"
"Wang Luoqiu, I am the eldest sister. You have to be a little patient!" Wang Lizi's strength has increased rapidly. With the help of Ancestor Longyan, she is rapidly moving towards the fourth level of Qi Refining Realm.
However, Wang Luoqiu is obviously not easy to mess with. She is keen on all the work that can increase merit points, and she does a good job. With the blessing of resources, her cultivation level has also soared. From the original second level of the Qi Refining Realm, she has a small talent
It took half a year to reach the second level.
Just when the two girls were exhausted and ready to fight, Wang Shouzhe gave each of them a volley burst with a snap of his fingers: "Be quiet, otherwise the contribution points will be deducted, and the rations will be deducted."
.”
As soon as this threat came out, the two of them became extremely well-behaved.
These people all have weaknesses, and it is easy for Wang Shouzhe to deal with them.
The rest of the journey was still peaceful. At the beginning of Shenshi, the team arrived at the planned earth slope base.
It was a very simple stronghold, with rows of large wooden stakes forming a simple fence. However, the height of the stronghold was good, there were no obstructions around, the view was wide, and there was a clear stream not far away that could replenish the water source.
Some of the older tribesmen, Wang Shouxin, Wang Shouyi, and even the elders Wang Dinghai and Wang Ding tribe, all began to clean up the camp with their family generals very skillfully.
Young people such as Wang Shouzhe, Wang Shounuo, Wang Zongwei, Shouyong, and Shoulian also joined in the work, learning how to set up the camp from their elders and brothers. After Wang Luotong also joined the construction team, several little girls also
Start participating and learn about the camp.
The weeds were cleared, the site was swept and leveled, firewood was collected nearby, the broken fences were reinforced, tents were erected and reinforced, and clean water was collected, all the work was carried out in an orderly manner.
Even the location of the tents and who puts their tents there are very particular about the regulations.
These tasks and inheritances have been taught from generation to generation, and even Wang Shouzhe has learned from them. In foreign lands, you must have the skills to survive in foreign lands.
As it got darker, a large bonfire and several small bonfires were lit, and then they started cooking pots, and the atmosphere became a little more joyful.
Then, it was another turn to watch at night.
There was no talking all night until it got dark.
At this time, we started to dismantle the camp again, organize the tents, and pack up all the living supplies. It was not until dawn in the early morning that we finished the work of packing up the camp.
Then he started to rush to the next stronghold slowly and according to the plan and map.
So and so, after walking for three full days.
Only then did everyone arrive at the edge of the real outer realm, where some ferocious beasts began to gradually appear.
In previous years, the Wang family basically arrived here and no longer went deep into the outside world. Instead, they stationed themselves at the stronghold, carried out raids in the vicinity, hunted some large beasts, or a few ferocious beasts, and then began to return home.
There is no way. If we go deeper and there is no ancestor to protect us, once we encounter a powerful ferocious beast, it is very likely to cause casualties to the team.
The next day.
In a seemingly inconspicuous tent, there is a group of people dressed as coachmen gathered here. However, if any of these people are thrown out, they are terrifying existences that can scare people to death.
Wang Shouzhe sat among them leisurely.
One of them was a thin man, wrapped in a torn sheepskin coat and a felt hat on his head. He was curled up like a lonely old man. He complained slightly: "Shouzhe, is your intelligence wrong?
I see that the Liu and Zhao families have been scared out of their wits by you for a long time, so how dare they go out and attack?"
Wang Shouzhe smiled confidently and said to him: "Ancestor Mingsheng, please be patient. Although Shouzhe is not 100% sure, he is 90% sure. I have been staying at home for a long time, and I have already put their
My anger has been aroused to the extreme. Now that I have finally found an opportunity, I will definitely take action."
"Shou Zhe is right, it is inevitable for them to take action. If we miss this time, the Liu and Zhao families will never be able to turn around." Another strong man driving the cart said, "Wouldn't it be better if they didn't show up?
In this way, Patriarch Mingsheng, you can take a stroll and get a thousand gold into your account, wouldn't it be wonderful?"
"Gongsun Jian, my great-grandson does not care about money. He is the direct bloodline of Lu Mengxue, the direct daughter of the Lu family." Patriarch Mingsheng retorted.
He said the word "bloodline" very strongly, as if he was emphasizing something.
Gongsun Jie chuckled and said, "Having said that, Shouzhe is now my granddaughter Gongsun Hui's legitimate son, and also my Gongsun Jian's legitimate great-grandson."
In fact, there is no conflict between the Lu family and the Gongsun family, but on the matter of Wang Shouzhe, the two ancestors seem to have some emotions and conflicts. In recent discussions, no one is convinced by the other.
Either way, Wang Shouzhe was too good, and the two ancestors couldn't help but try to steal the great-grandfather's name.
Wang Shouzhe broke into a cold sweat. It was his fault for not thinking carefully about this matter. Ancestor Jian and Ancestor Mingsheng should not be put together, but the ancestor was jealous of him, who would have thought?
"Lu Mingsheng, Gongsun Jian, please be quiet." Another old man dressed more "dedicated" said, "Don't disturb me to close my eyes and relax."
As soon as these words came out, both of them became honest.
There was nothing they could do. Not only was the Ruhong Patriarch the oldest, but he was also at the peak of the middle stage of the Lingtai Realm, so they were naturally convinced.
At this time, another old man said weakly: "Brother Shouzhe, I have good physical skills, why don't I go get some information?"
Of course this is Brother Zhong Xingwang.
After selling the elixir, he ran back and heard that Wang was going hunting in autumn and winter. He refused to go anywhere, and he has stayed there until today.
Wang Shouzhe was just waiting for a reply.
Suddenly!
Ancestor Ru Hong opened his eyes and said calmly: "Here we come, Shouzhe, go and fight. All foreign aid has been given to us."
Almost at the same time.
Not far from the camp, a slightly crazy-sounding laughter came: "Wang Shouzhe, you have been surrounded, get out and die!"
That was Liu Shengye's voice. How could he not be angry?
The great situation and promising future of the Liu and Zhao families were all ruined by Wang Shouzhe.
"Uh... Ancestors, please take a short rest." Wang Shouzhe chuckled and said, "Shouzhe will go out to take care of the dead first."
