Five days later!
Chen Xiao, dusty and dusty, appeared in a small town.
In these five days, he passed through a mountain range and finally left the confines of Qingshan City, avoiding the pursuit of the Chen family.
We stayed in a small inn in the town. It was very small, with only a few rooms.
After washing his body, Chen Xiao went out to eat something.
Most of the people living in the town are local aborigines, and few outsiders come in.
But today, the town is a bit lively. The inn has never been full before, but today it is actually full. Even the woodshed has been cleared out and used as guest rooms.
The people passing by were all elders with their children. Chen Xiao was sitting in the restaurant. In just a few minutes, several couples appeared.
"There are only ten days left before the martial arts examination. Let's rest one night and hit the road early tomorrow morning."
A father and son passed by Chen Xiao and did not shy away. The middle-aged man said to his child.
Chen Xiao then remembered that at the end of each year, Baiyun Martial Arts Academy recruits some disciples, and they need to pass the assessment before they can join.
In the past few days, Chen Xiao traveled through mountains and rivers, encountered many crises, and almost died at the mouth of a monster.
Not only that, but he also encountered several groups of bandits, and Chen Xiao narrowly escaped death.
It seems that Mulan Xi is right. It is too difficult to survive outside alone. Joining the martial arts academy not only has a place of refuge, but also can use the resources of the martial arts academy to practice.
After quickly eating everything on the table, Chen Xiao returned to the inn, seemingly with a plan in mind.
It was just dawning the next day when Chen Xiao heard footsteps coming from outside. Someone was already on the road.
Chen Xiao got up quickly, washed briefly, put the sword on his pillow into his storage bag, and quickly went downstairs.
At any time, the long sword will not leave Chen Xiao's side. When sleeping, his right hand is always pressed on the hilt of the sword.
A group of more than ten people set off as a group. Everyone was chatting and laughing. They must have just known each other.
Chen Xiao quickly caught up with him. In the next section of the journey, he had to pass through several big cities before he could reach the capital.
The capital is the Imperial City of Baiyun Kingdom. I heard that tens of millions of people live there, which is very large.
There are countless small places like Qingshan City in Baiyun Kingdom.
"Are you also going to participate in the Baiyun Martial Arts Academy selection?"
A thin young man saw Chen Xiao walking alone and deliberately slowed down. The two walked side by side and asked Chen Xiao in a low voice.
"kindness!"
Chen Xiao is very wary. After experiencing so many things, it is difficult to trust anyone.
"My name is Lin Chen, I don't know what you call me brother."
Lin Chen hugged Chen Xiao and introduced himself solemnly.
"Chen Xiao!"
Chen Xiao cupped his fists and returned the salute. Lin Chen's eyes were quite clear and he didn't look like an evil person.
Chen Xiao has read countless people over the years, and he can still tell the difference between good and bad.
"Brother Chen, are you going alone?"
Lin Chen asked curiously.
Most of the seedlings who went for the assessment were accompanied by their family members. Going to the capital this time was a long and dangerous journey, and it would be very dangerous without the company of a high-level spirit-gathering realm.
"kindness!"
Chen Xiao spoke very little, basically Lin Chen asked questions and Chen Xiao answered.
Just stop and go like this. At night, if you haven't passed some big cities, everyone will automatically find a safe place and set up camp.
Many people noticed Chen Xiao's appearance, but no one took it seriously.
They each set up tents, while Chen Xiao was alone, sitting silently under the big tree, closing his eyes and practicing.
The aroma of meat hit him, and Lin Chen brought the roasted animal meat to Chen Xiao.
Along the way, Chen Xiao basically ate dry food, and he had long been tired of it. Smelling the roasted animal meat, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
No matter how strong Chen Xiao's character is, he is still just a seventeen-year-old child.
"Eat it"
Lin Chen sat next to Chen Xiao, holding another piece of animal meat in his hand, putting it in his mouth and started chewing it.
"Thank you!"
Chen Xiao was indeed hungry, so he took the meat without any courtesy and started eating.
After some conversation, Chen Xiao became more talkative. He learned from Lin Chen that they were from Qianshan County, which was much larger than Qingshan City. These people basically came from families around Qianshan County.
Chen Xiao from Qianshan County had heard that Baiyun Country was composed of eighteen counties. Qianshan County was about four or five days away from Qingshan City.
Qingshan City is just a small town in the corner. Lin Chen has never heard of it. He does not look down on Chen Xiao, but shows admiration.
If you dare to venture alone, in addition to having a strong mind, you also have extraordinary abilities.
In the quiet night, Chen Xiao quietly practiced the Nine Heavens Shocking Technique, so as not to alarm them, he could only slow down the absorption speed.
Sudden!
A pair of green eyes appeared in the grass in the distance, and Chen Xiao woke up instantly.
Although he is practicing, his consciousness remains awake at all times.
"Wolves!"
Chen Xiao stood up with a whoosh. The man in charge of the watch was already drowsy and leaning on the edge of the tent, unaware of everything happening around him.
The wolves approached quietly, only thirty meters away from the tent.
Over the years, Chen Xiao heard that too many merchants were attacked by wolves while taking a break and were slaughtered by wolves overnight.
The wolves slowly approached and formed an encirclement. Once they swooped up, they would become food in their bellies without waiting for anyone to react.
The long sword appeared in Chen Xiao's hand, and he whistled suddenly, quickly waking up everyone who was sleeping soundly.
They didn't have time to put on their clothes and got out of the tent. The moment they saw the wolves, everyone took a breath.
The cultivation level of these wolves is extremely high, and the lowest level has first-level strength.
The highest one actually reaches the second level peak, which is comparable to the peak spirit gathering realm.
The most terrifying thing was not these, but a golden wolf king in the distance. It turned out to be a third-level monster, covered with golden fur. In the dark night, it was very dazzling.
The third level is comparable to the human Dan Gathering realm.
There was not a single Dan Gathering Realm monk present, and the parents who came to escort were all at the peak Spirit Gathering Realm.
Even in Chiba County, Dan Ju realm is very rare.
Looking at the entire Baiyun Kingdom, there are not many monks in the Dan Ju realm. Chen Qiuyu was able to break through to the Dan Ju realm only because of the guidance of Chen Xiao's parents.
Even if there are strong men in the Dan Ju realm in the family, they are usually at the level of ancestors and will not leave the family unless absolutely necessary to avoid being violated.
"Brother Chen, what happened?"
Lin Chen is similar in age to Chen Xiao, and they have always treated each other as brothers. In the past two days, they have become much closer.
"Wolves are attacking our camp!"
Chen Xiao whispered, holding the sword tightly in his hand.
Chen Xiao was not afraid of dealing with one or two wolves, mainly because there were too many wolves, more than a hundred.
There were only fifteen of them together. The younger disciples were so frightened that they shivered when they saw so many wolves.
There were also several girls who were so frightened that they sat on the ground and cried softly.
Although Lin Chen tried to keep calm, he could still see a trace of fear flashing in his eyes.
Anyone who encounters such a huge pack of wolves will show fear. This is human nature.
If it weren't for what happened in the past few months, Chen Xiao wouldn't be so calm.
"We try to find a way to get out. Once we are surrounded, it will be difficult to escape."
Fourteen middle-aged men gathered together to discuss countermeasures, preparing to open a gap and escape from here.
It's definitely not possible to resist forcefully, there are too many wolves.
"We break out from the west. As long as we rush out, we can enter the official road in half an hour."
A middle-aged man in a blue robe pointed to the west. As long as they entered the official road, they would be safe.
"Strange, why are there wolves here?"
Not far to the right of Chen Xiao, there was a man standing, as if talking to himself.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for wolves to appear here, it is too weird.
