Sikong Wu was very low-key when he left Qin Tiancheng. A half-new carriage and two old horses that were neither good nor bad left Qin Tiancheng quietly in the dim night.
Although the news of Sikong Wu leaving Qin Tiancheng will definitely spread, it is definitely not at this time.
Han Yun also changed his appearance, wearing burlap clothes, leggings and warrior trousers, and wear-resistant cowhide boots. He looked like an ordinary coachman, driving an equally ordinary carriage with Sikong Wuli. go.
Although there are very few rickshaw drivers with Han Yun's size, in an unstable world, rickshaw drivers are not a safe profession. Many rickshaw drivers who travel all over the world have some skills on their hands. As long as they do not reveal their martial arts skills, Han Yun It won't be too noticeable.
Sikong Wu did not leave from the main road between Dongshan and Mangshan. Instead, he set off in the northeast direction, passed through the thousands of miles of Mangshan Mountains, and followed the eastern border of the Qingtian Empire. Although this It takes more time to reach Kuncang Mountain, but it is safer than passing through the war-torn western border.
The Blue Moon Empire is to the south of the Qingtian Empire, and to the east of Mangshan and Dongshan, there are mountain peaks and swamps that stretch for thousands of miles. They are densely covered with poisonous miasma and poisonous insects are infested. There are countless monsters hiding in them. Even if the Blue Moon Empire The border with the Qingtian Empire is close to this vast land, and I have never thought about getting involved in this bad land.
Of course, in addition to the monsters, ferocious birds, poisonous fog and miasma in these dangerous places, there must also be many human beings living here. The residents of these bad places usually collect wild fruits and vegetables and hunt the wild beasts in the mountains for food, and they don't mind. Treat caravan travelers passing near the mountains as prey.
Lei Meng had repeatedly told Sikong Wu and Han Yun not to enter the mountains rashly. Even though Han Yun had become a seventh-grade Martial Emperor, it was difficult for him to withstand the group attack tactics of the people in the mountains, especially those who lived in the evil mountains. The "savages" in dangerous areas are usually used to capturing ferocious monsters in a reasonable manner, and there are many people with advanced cultivation among them. Once they are entangled by them, it will be extremely dangerous.
"However, this is what Lei Meng said cautiously. Sikong Wu and Han Yun were dressed in ordinary clothes, and the carriage they were riding in was not worth three to five taels of gold. The "savages" may not like such prey. As long as Han Yun showed some strength, the "savages" would not be able to attack forcefully at any cost. Han Yun and Sikong Wu.
Otherwise, Lei Meng would not have agreed to Sikong Wu and Han Yun taking a detour from the east of Mangshan Mountain.
The surging Tongtian River originates from the Qianli Mangshan Mountains and countless mountains to the east. The river converges at the junction of the two mountains to form a big river. It is unknown where it flows to the vast land. Even in the dry season of rain, the river is still flowing here. .
The Tongtian River can reach a hundred feet when wide, but is less than ten feet in narrow places. In many places, there are natural thick mountain stone bridge holes connecting it. Although it is not stated on the surface, the people of the Qingtian Empire always make this connection. The Tianhe River is regarded as the eastern boundary of the Qingtian Empire, and the Qingtian Empire does not pay much attention to anything on the other side of the Tongtian River.
In order to avoid taxes, etc., most of the human races living nearby chose the other side of the Tongtian River. Because of this, the Imperial Army repeatedly encircled and suppressed the bandits in Shiwandashan on the border of the Blue Moon Empire. However, on the opposite side of the Tongtian River, there was a None have been here.
Sikong Wu and Han Yun were traveling along the mountain road beside the Tongtian River.
Although there are threats such as bandits and monsters and ferocious birds, if you pass here, you basically don¡¯t have to pay any customs fees, etc. The caravans who are not afraid of death collected mountain furs at the border. If they go back to the hinterland of the empire from here, at least five The profit is more than 3 times, so I often hear news of caravans being robbed and killed by bandits, and there are still caravans passing by here.
The narrow mountain road has been crushed by trucks and caravans have opened up a relatively spacious road. However, rocks have fallen down in some places and cannot be cleared, so they have to find another path to pass. The original road seems to be more crooked. It has become extremely twists and turns. On the map, the distance is only more than a thousand miles, but in fact it has to go around for at least two thousand miles.
Sikong Wu looked at the Tongtian River through the car window. Not far away, a raging and magnificent waterfall flew down. The water in the river was even more rapid, with a width of fifty or sixty feet. Fat white saury fish could be seen on the river from time to time. Going upstream against the current and leaping into the air is a bit like a fish leaping over a dragon's gate.
On the opposite side of the river, several strong men with animal skins tied on their lower bodies and naked upper bodies holding wooden spears saw Sikong Wu's carriage passing by. They only raised their heads for a brief glance, and then they concentrated on the river.
A meter-long swordfish suddenly jumped out of the water, and two black lights roared out. Two giant men among them threw wooden spears in their hands like lightning.
The swordfish has fallen back into the water, but the wooden spear still pierces into the water with a brushing sound.
I saw only two giant menWith a flick of his wrist, the wooden spears tied with hemp rope were lifted out of the water, and one of the wooden spears penetrated the body of the swordfish!
Sikong Wu couldn¡¯t help but secretly shout: ¡°Okay!¡±
"Looking at these giant men, they are just ordinary men. It is unbelievable that they have such hand power and eyesight. I am afraid that ordinary third-grade warriors will be incomparable!"
Sikong Wu couldn¡¯t help but be a little surprised.
Han Yun said with a smile without looking back: "Master, I don't know something. These people live in the mountains all year round and are much stronger than those of us who mainly grow food. In addition, they have been catching fish from the Tongtian River for food since they were young. Nature can make perfect, and it is difficult for others to compare.¡±
He paused briefly and then said: "The old Marquis once planned to recruit these people to become Qin Tiancheng soldiers and form a special spear-throwing unit. Unfortunately, these people from the mountains are difficult to tame, so we had to give up."
Sikong Wu nodded and said: "Father's idea is certainly good. If these people can be formed into a cavalry and archery unit, with their accuracy and hand strength, I am afraid that even the heavy armored cavalry will be unable to withstand it."
Han Yun added: "Compared to the real savages living deep in the mountains, these fishermen are considered weak. It is said that the savages in the mountains and dense forests are basically warriors who have cultivated soul beasts. The rite of passage for children is to hunt and kill them. A third-grade monster!"
Sikong Wu also said in disbelief: "No way? Are they all soul beast warriors? How can such a group hide in the mountains?"
Han Yun explained: "This is just a rumor. The disciples don't know if it is true. However, they live in the mountains and there are many monsters. They can also cultivate soul beasts. In addition to the captured soul beasts, it is not surprising that each of them has a low-level soul beast. "
"They are used to living in the mountains, but they don't adapt to the plains. In addition, although their individual level is far better than ours, the number of real warriors is naturally not as good as ours. If there are hundreds of thousands of people like ours in Qin Tian City Yes, it is possible to plant soul beasts."
Sikong thought the same thing. After being eliminated by the cruel laws of the mountains and forests, the people in the mountains naturally cannot be as numerous as the people who grow food crops in the plains. The ones who can survive are the elites of the tribe, and the number is not large. Plus the spirit beasts in the mountains It only takes a large number to capture enough soul beasts.
While the two were talking, waves surged in the Tongtian River, and a giant crocodile with thick scales the size of a palm suddenly flew up from the shore. Its huge body, which was three feet long, crossed the shallows in an instant and killed it with one swipe. One of the giant men standing in the shallow water grabbed hold of him and pulled him into the water.
Although the other giant men desperately threw their wooden spears at the giant crocodile, the giant crocodile's scales were thick and the short spears were cut off one after another. There was not much damage to the giant crocodile. The few giant men could only watch the giant crocodile helplessly. The crocodile dragged his companion deep into the river and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Sikongwu sighed, it was not easy for these fishermen. However, seeing that those few people did not show any signs of panic or madness, they just silently carried the dozen or so captured swordfish toward the forest near the river, it was obvious that this was the first time they had encountered such a thing.
He followed their disappearing figures and was suddenly slightly startled. He suddenly discovered two fierce-looking dark men holding bamboo tubes between the trees more than 300 feet away, looking towards him.
Sikong Wu recognized it, but the bamboo tube was a telescope used by the army. Its function was the same as the telescope on the earth, but the clarity and range of sight were not as good as the telescope, but it was enough for the other party to see his situation clearly.
"If Sikong Wu hadn't fused with the three-eyed Qingpeng demon and possessed some Qingpeng magical power, and his amazing eyesight, he wouldn't have been able to spot the two men hiding in the dense forest three hundred feet away.
His face changed slightly. He had just seen the bravery and cold-bloodedness of those fishermen, and he was already secretly wary of these so-called savages. He said to Han Yun in a deep voice: "Han Yun, be careful. I noticed someone peeping at us from the other side, with ferocious eyes. I am afraid of their intentions." Not kind!¡±
Han Yun nodded and said: "Disciple understands. But master, don't worry, there are many gangsters on the other side, and they will check the movement on the mountain road from time to time, looking for suitable prey. We are dressed normally, and there is nothing gold or silver on the car to make the ruts obvious. , the bandits were just observing secretly, and they probably won¡¯t launch an attack.¡±
Sikongwu snorted: "Even so, it's better to be careful. Speed ??up a little, and hope you can cross the Rabbit Leaping Cliff before dark."
"Lei Lao said that after passing Rabbit Leaping Cliff, there are no stone beams connecting the two banks for dozens of miles, and it is difficult for bandits to pass through this 100-foot-wide river bank. Many caravans will choose to repair there. If you can join the caravan, It¡¯s also more deceptive.¡±
Han Yun would not go against Sikong Wu's words. He nodded immediately and made a circle in the air with the whip in his hand. With a snap, the two old horses galloped forward, pulling the carriage forward quickly.
Sikongwu set out on the road lightly. Apart from the medicinal materials used to boil the medicinal liquid, there were only some dry ingredients on the carriage.Food, meat and dried meats were all spent on gold tickets on the road, and the cash in cash was less than a hundred taels. The most important thing was a star cloud-splitting gun.
The carriage was light, and even though it was only being pulled by two ordinary old horses, the speed was not slow. In a short time, it had already run dozens of miles away and passed the Rabbit Leaping Cliff at the narrow part of the Tongtian River.
A team of fifty or sixty people and a dozen carriages suddenly appeared in the sight of Sikong Wu and Han Yun.
