In a remote barren mountain, two people were fighting fiercely along a steep ridge. Wherever he passed, rocks flew everywhere, trees and grass were broken, like two crazy bison, destroying everything along the way.
Suddenly, a figure flew out and crashed into the woods on the side of the mountain, breaking five or six trees in a row before stopping.
Wu Gen climbed up from the ground with difficulty, rubbed his red chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood. Sha Zhimo swept in front of him from a distance and whipped Wu Gen viciously.
"Stop, chicken legs." Wu Gen quickly shouted.
Hearing this, Sha Zhimo quickly retracted his legs and fell heavily to the ground with a cry. Due to the excessive force, his whole body sank into the soil, and he looked at Wu Gen fawningly.
Wu Gen took out a chicken leg from his arms and threw it away. Looking at Sha Zhimo gobbling up food, Wu Gen staggered to the foot of a tree, closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.
It has been a month since they left Lingyun Village. Wu Gen and Sha Zhimo walked and practiced sparring all the way to here. Along the way, scenes like today happened almost every day, and it was Wu Gen who suffered most. There was no way. Although Sha Zhimo was a little confused, his physical cultivation was solid.
Sha Zhimo had absolutely no way of attacking, he could hit him however he wanted, and he never knew how to hold back. If Wu Gen was not careful, he would be pushed to the ground and rubbed hard.
In the past month, Wu Gen had suffered countless injuries. At the beginning, Sha Zhimo didn't know how to stop once he started fighting. Later, Wu Gen thought of a way to lure the man with chicken legs. As long as he took out the chicken legs, Sha Zhimo would focus all his attention on the chicken legs and naturally forget about the fight.
As time went by, it became a habit. As long as he called for chicken drumsticks, Sha Zhimo would stop and wait for feeding.
Although he was tortured thousands of times, Wu Gen did gain a lot. Not only did he make some breakthroughs in his own cultivation, but he also gained a deeper understanding of the herdsmen's fighting methods.
In essence, shepherds are still good at martial arts, but those who can gather spiritual energy also absorb some methods from human Qi practitioners and integrate some supernatural powers during battle.
For example, Sha Zhimo, in addition to the huge punching power, every time he punches, he also has fire properties. There was a layer of blazing flames hidden at the edge of the fist, and it felt like being burned with a soldering iron when it hit the body.
These days, Wu Gen's body often smells of barbecue, and his body is covered with scabs and scars, all of which were given by Sha Zhimo.
As time passed, Wu Gen also discovered that although Sha Zhimo was a little crazy, he still had a certain learning ability. At the beginning, he could only fight with brute force. As time went by, he even figured out some methods on his own. In this way, it is a good thing. After he leaves, Chu Xi's safety will be better relied on.
The place where Wu Gen is located is an unknown barren mountain in the north of Zuoheng Road, which is quite a distance from Hengmen Port. The two of them arrived here two days ago. Due to constant injuries to their bodies along the way, Wu Gen could only borrow some medicine while walking.
Every time they met some small families, Wu Gen and Sha Zhimo would sneak into them and steal some spiritual jade, exotic herbs, magical pills, etc. for their own cultivation needs.
Accompanied by Sha Zhimo, a free high-level thug, every time there was no danger, the two of them also accumulated a lot of property bit by bit.
He casually pulled out a piece of Tianxingcao and stuffed it into his mouth. This grass can quickly treat trauma. Wu Gen closed his eyes and rested silently. Sha Zhimo on the side couldn't wait any longer and kept beating around Wu Gen.
He had a huge appetite, and most of the prey he caught along the way went into his belly.
"Let's go." After taking a nap, Wu Gen stood up.
All the way downhill along the ridge, Wu Gen observed the surrounding terrain as he walked. Due to the consumption these days, I don't have many herbs and pills on my body anymore, so I have to go to some families to borrow some. According to the map, the closest family is the Baoyin family.
After walking for two days, I heard the sound of gurgling water in the distance, and occasionally there were sails looming in the river.
As we got closer, a big river flowed like a silver belt embedded in the green curtains, shining brilliantly in the sunset, meandering through the vast grassland.
On both sides of the river, there are lush grass and clusters of flowers, which is a rare beauty.
Wu Gen and Sha Zhimo came to the river and washed their faces happily. After crossing this river, you can reach the main city of Baoyin family.
The melodious sound of the flute came from the distance, just like the curls of green smoke from the incense burner, rippling on the river.
Wu Gen was startled, and took the curious Sha Zhimo and hid in the reeds on the shore.
After a while, the sound of the flute gradually increased, and occasionally there were pearls and jade jumping, crisp and short, first like the splashing of a spring, and then like a group of flowers competing for beauty, and even interspersed with the words of orioles, they called me and me.
Accompanied by the sound of the flute, a ship floated down the river, its brown bow plowing through the golden waves, sending up pieces of spray. The ship building is richly decorated with carved beams and paintings, and the white sails have the word "宝silver" written on them. From time to time, there are boat ladies shuttled on the boat, serving the people in the cabin.
The sound of the flute came from the boat, but I didn't know who the flute player was, and he could play such a natural sound.
Wu Gen was a little crazy when he heard it. Although he was not very proficient in music, he had been with Zhu Qianhua for a long time and he knew a thing or two about it. The person who plays this flute must be a master in this way, and even a layman can hear the bright moon, the clear wind, the clear mountains and flowing water.
While he was intoxicated, Wu Gen suddenly felt something was wrong and turned his head to look aside. Sha Zhimo was not as noisy as before, but had a calm expression on his face, lying on the ground with his eyes closed and listening to the sound of the flute that was gradually disappearing.
As the two of them traveled along the way, Sha Zhimo was like a stubborn monkey, struggling to live peacefully at all times. Wu Gen was quite surprised that it was suddenly so quiet today. Unexpectedly, there are such elegant people in this small Baoyin family.
Suddenly, a person stepped out from the cabin. But Wu Gen knew this person. He was Bai Yin, the steward sent by the Heita family when the four families were hunting.
Why is he here? Wu Gen's eyes gradually became sharp. Since the last incident in Liangxi Village, Wu Gen has always been thinking about the good things of the Heita family. This time, in addition to Jingli himself, he also had the idea of causing trouble for the Heita family.
Because Wu Gen knew that the Heita family was busy dealing with the troubles of his own family and other small families. In his eyes, the Fearless Army was not really a big threat, and was just like a bandit.
But when the Black Tower Family frees up its hands, the Fearless Army will officially enter its sights sooner or later, and the pressure it will face will be unprecedentedly high. Therefore, it is necessary to create some commotion in other places so that the Heita family has no time to take care of themselves.
Therefore, every time Wu Gen harassed a family along the way, he would leave more or less signs of other families. Regardless of whether it can have any effect, it will at least make every family suspicious. After a long time, some families will be unable to restrain themselves.
Pulling up Sha Zhimo on the ground, Wu Gen sneaked along the river bank, keeping a close distance from the boat. With the two of them's cultivation, tracking the ship would be a piece of cake.
At night, the boat was anchored on a rocky beach. The lights on the boat were brightly lit, and sounds of playing could be heard from time to time. It must be that people on the boat were drinking at night. After working on it until midnight, the group finally turned off the lights and took a break.
The moonlight shone on the cold river, everything was quiet, and there was not even a sentry on the boat.
Wu Gen gently poked his head out from the grass, wiped the dew off his head, and took Sha Zhimo towards the direction of the boat.
Anyone who can keep Baiyin company will not have a low status in the Heita family. Wu Gen was going to take it down and make the Heita family feel disgusted.
When he was still about twenty steps away from the boat, Wu Gen listened to the movement in the boat. Apart from the slight snoring, there was no other sound.
With a move of his hand, Wu Gen took the lead and rushed towards the cabin, hoping to take advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness and capture him in one fell swoop.
As soon as he stepped onto the deck, a fist suddenly flew out of the darkness and headed straight for Wu Gen. This startled Wu Gen. He didn't expect that the other party had a hidden whistle.
The person who punched was none other than Bai Yin. Unexpectedly, this person had the perfect cultivation level of the Four Realms. Wu Gen quickly retreated, but he still received a punch and his body was hit so hard that he rolled towards the shore.
Sha Zhi Mo Guai screamed at his side and stepped forward, stopping Bai Yin who was about to pursue Wu Gen. The two of them struggled together and exchanged more than a dozen punches in the blink of an eye. Sha Zhimo's cultivation level had dropped a lot, and for a while, he was unable to defeat his opponent.
The two of them were going back and forth, sawdust flying around the boat, and big holes appearing from time to time. Baiyin knew that if he and his opponent continued to fight, the ship might sink. With a twist of his body, the person has already swept to the shore. Sha Zhi was unwilling to give up and chased after him with all his teeth and claws.
The two of them fought further and further apart, and several ups and downs disappeared into the night.
Wu Gen rubbed his chest, frowned slightly, and suppressed the fishy smell in his stomach. Before he could board the ship again, torches were lit one after another on the ship. A fat man stood out holding a heavy sword, with a jade belt around his waist that was difficult for ordinary shepherds to see. He was followed by more than a dozen guards. .
"Haha, there is indeed a little thief coveting you. It's just as Mr. Lan expected." The fat man laughed and said, "Boy, you didn't expect it. We have noticed your traces and are waiting for you to be caught. Dare you touch me? My tiger beard, I think you are getting tired of living."
Mr. Lan, Wu Gen couldn't help but be stunned. Who was this? He actually discovered his movements. What was originally thought to be a sneak attack, now turned into a violent attack.
Forget it, just fight. Without saying a word, Wu Gen jumped up with a knife and killed the man again.
The swords crossed each other, and Wu Gen had an estimate of the man's strength. This person is on par with me. It would be okay if there is no one to help him, but there are helpers behind him, as well as Mr. Lan who can detect his whereabouts. This battle is not easy to fight, so we must fight it quickly.
At this thought, Wu Gen did not run towards the boat, but instead ran straight upstream of the river.
This moment made the men on the boat a little confused. I didn't know what this man meant by this move. Maybe he was scared away because he saw that there were so many people. However, he was running so fast that even his own arrows couldn't catch up.
After running until he was two hundred steps away from the ship, Wu Gen stopped suddenly and faced the ship again.
"The sky is falling." Wu Gen secretly shouted in his heart, holding knives in both hands and rushing towards the boat parked on the shore.
"Cut." A majestic sword energy appeared on the surface of the water. The sword energy carried the waves, causing waves more than two feet high on the water surface.
Suddenly, the calm river surface became violent, and the churning foam lost its even rhythm.
The river water under the moonlight was ravaged by waves and sword energy. The back waves pushed the front waves, and waves surged towards the boat moored on the shore. Huge roars came one after another, and the river suddenly turned into a battlefield with thousands of horses galloping and golden drums beating together.
