A group of about a hundred people rested for a while at Pingshan. After the temperature was no longer as hot as before, they started on the road again.

Compared to just now, there is one more warlock in the team this time. Even if it is just a warlock with low cultivation level, it seems to give these soldiers a glimmer of hope and their morale has increased a lot.

At the very least, after having a warlock, everyone no longer needs to worry about running out of drinking water on the road, and when resting at night, there is no need to worry about encountering some evil beings approaching without being able to detect them.

The temperature dropped a bit, and after a good rest, the team moved forward much faster than before.

"After passing Pingshan Mountain, we are close to the boundary of our Yu Kingdom. It won't take long before we can get out of this borderland. We will probably have to spend the night here in the wilderness tonight. We are very likely to encounter evil spirits.

This will trouble the mage!"

At the front of the team, Li Sheng and Zou Heng were riding horses one behind the other. Li Sheng said to Zou Heng who was walking behind him.

"this is necessary!"

Hearing this, Zou Heng said simply.

The place where they are now is the buffer between the Yu State and the Qi State. It is called the borderland. It is a piece of loess all year round. The land is very barren and there is some drought and water shortage, so few people usually visit it.

Activities in this area do not belong to either country.

It is a wilderness in itself, and because it is the border area between the two countries, several wars between the two countries have broken out here in the past, so this deserted land can also be regarded as a battlefield, with many corpses buried there.

The wilderness coupled with the battlefield inevitably breeds some evil spirits, which may attack at night and must be guarded against.

Regarding evil spirits, when Zou Heng first came to this world, he thought they were those ghosts and monsters in the legends of his previous life. Although he was a little afraid of them, with the blessings he had brought from his previous life, Zou Heng felt that he might not be able to deal with them.

.

But when he truly saw the evil in this world, Zou Heng discovered that although the blessings brought by his previous life were good, it was really not that easy to deal with the evil in this world.

Zou Heng possesses a trace of the Wu clan's bloodline, which he awakened before traveling through his previous life. This trace of bloodline was brought to this world by him. This is the blessing he brought from his previous life, and it is also the first time he felt that he could survive in this world.

The confidence to live in this world.

Although there was not much inherited information in his weak Wu Clan bloodline, Zou Heng still understood the power of the Wu Clan with that little bit of inherited information.

Just a very weak trace of Wu Clan blood has already brought Zou Heng a lot of benefits. More than two years ago, part of the reason why he was able to successfully become a disciple was because his previous master was saving Zou Heng.

After marrying him, he discovered that his physique was somewhat extraordinary, and he started to explore, so he was able to become a disciple so smoothly.

The only pity is that Zou Heng received too little inheritance information. In addition to knowing that he was of the Wu clan's bloodline, he also learned how to absorb the turbid energy of the earth, and there was almost nothing else.

The biggest change that that trace of Witch Clan blood brought to Zou Heng was that it greatly enhanced his physique, making him much higher than ordinary people in terms of strength, speed, and body defense, surpassing many warlocks.

, even a warrior.

As for his talent for practicing magic, Zou Heng is not sure whether it has anything to do with the witch bloodline. There may be some bonuses in this aspect. He doesn't have any obvious feeling about it now. Based on his

With my current cultivation level, I am not capable of exploring this point.

While riding on the horse, chatting wordlessly with Li Sheng, Zou Heng basically understood what Li Sheng and others had experienced before, as well as the dangers he might face next.

Based on what he knew before and what he now learned from Li Sheng, Zou Heng reorganized the specific contents of his mission.

The world he is in now is a world with many countries. The country Zou Heng and his previous master are in is the Yu State. It is a fairly powerful country. Its land area is about half of the country he was in in his previous life.

Generally speaking, in today's world, the overall strength of the Yu State can be considered to be less than the top and more than the bottom.

There is a country close to Yu State called Qi State, which is stronger than Yu State and has a larger land area than Yu State. There have been a lot of frictions between the two countries in the past.

Although there is a gap in strength between each other, the gap is not so big that it is irreparable, so there are winners and losers between them.

About ten years ago, there was a battle between Yu State and Qi State. Yu State was defeated. In order not to shake the foundation of the country, it had no choice but to choose peace talks. The final result was compensation and the sending of protons, thus allowing the two countries to cease the war.

The proton that was first sent to Qi State was the person Li Sheng was escorting on this trip, His Royal Highness the Prince who was injured earlier in the carriage.

Of course, sending the proton back to the country will not be that simple. Yu State made a special trip to bring the proton back from Qi State. The main reason is that the king of Yu State is now dying. The original king still has many heirs.

However, due to various reasons in recent years, the heirs of the current king of Yu have basically died in infancy.

This means that when King Ren returns to the royal capital, he will most likely become the crown prince and will most likely inherit the throne of Yu.

Bringing one's own country's hostages back from another country is certainly not a simple matter. Not to mention that before Li Sheng and the others arrived, Yu State had already made efforts to persuade the people in power in Qi State to let them

I don't know how much it cost to agree to release the proton and return to China.

While Li Sheng was protecting the protons and returning home, he had already experienced several attacks. Some pretended to be gangsters and surrounded them, and some wanted to ambush them by taking advantage of the terrain. There were even some warlocks who secretly performed spells to try and kill them.

He must use magic to directly curse the Nioh to death.

Li Sheng could handle the head-on conflict with his troops by himself, but when faced with some weird spells, it was difficult for Li Sheng to take care of them. Thanks to the powerful warlocks who accompanied the army before, he was able to save the day from danger many times. Unfortunately, in the previous

During the first battle, the warlock who was originally in the team accidentally died under the deliberate attack of the opponent.

After understanding this information, Zou Heng, who was riding on the horse, was still chatting wordlessly with Li Sheng, but he was already making rapid calculations in his mind.

The several battles that Li Sheng and others encountered before were all within the territory of Qi State, and it is estimated that they mainly came from the side of Qi State.

After all, although the top leaders of Qi State, with the efforts of Yu State, agreed to release the benevolent king and welcome him back to Yu State, it is inevitable that there will be some people among them who do not want to let the benevolent king go back. It is just their opinion

It just wasn't adopted.

It is also possible that those in power in Qi who agreed had only superficially agreed, and their real intention was not to let King Ren return to Yu.

But no matter what, after passing through the borderland, the danger from Qi State can be relaxed for the most part. Although there may still be attacks from Qi State in the future, the number of people will definitely not be too many.

The next thing to consider is that after entering the Yu Kingdom, those people in the Yu Kingdom who do not want Ren Wang to come back.

Almost all the heirs of the current king have died in infancy in recent years, and some of them are indeed accidents. But if we say that all of them are accidents, I am afraid that few of the villagers in the mountains and villages who cannot read a word will believe it.

All the heirs of the current ruler have died. Who should inherit the throne of Yu? Of course they are those who also belong to the royal family. At the very least, one of the members of the Zong family can adopt the throne to inherit Yu.

throne.

Zou Heng came to this world with full plans for about three years at most, and more than two years of it were spent with his former master. Although he became more and more familiar with this world, he did not know much about the situation of the upper echelons of the Yu Kingdom.

But it is not very clear. After all, in such an environment similar to the ancient times, the transmission and acquisition of information is a big problem for ordinary people.

Therefore, from the information he had, he could not specifically determine who would face the dangers he would face when he arrived in Yu State. He could find time to analyze this with Li Sheng.

In addition to these conceivable sources of danger, there may also be unforeseen dangers in the next journey, which come from various emergencies and evil spirits.

We can only carefully prevent these, wait until we encounter them, and then think of ways to solve them. Other than that, there is no other way, especially for evil things, it is impossible to predict when they will be encountered inexplicably.

This kind of unpredictable thing is no less threatening than the foreseeable danger, but may actually be more terrifying.

It's okay to encounter ordinary evil spirits. If you encounter a very powerful one, you will be really in trouble. However, in a place where people gather, under normal circumstances, you will encounter that kind of particularly powerful evil.

The difference may not be big, so there is no need to worry too much.

After sorting out these things clearly in my mind, a lot of time has passed. Seeing that the sun has set in the sky and night is coming, the team should find a place to rest temporarily. Going forward at night is not only inefficient, but also encounters strange things.

The possibility will be great.

Under Li Sheng's arrangement, the team stopped before dark, found a relatively flat place, and prepared to set up camp temporarily here.

Some people scattered around, looking for something to burn, preparing to light a few bonfires, and patrolling the surroundings to see if there were any potential undiscovered dangers. The remaining people began to take advantage of the limited conditions and try their best to

Create an environment that is convenient for resting.

Zou Heng noticed that Li Sheng looked at him at this time, and he was not surprised. He directly reached out and took out two things from his bag and handed them to Li Sheng.

"This vermilion rope can be used to surround the camp, but it's only twenty meters long, so it probably won't be enough. I also have a few strange talismans that I can stick around!"

Li Sheng took the two things, glanced at the satchel on Zou Heng's waist, and then said with a chuckle: "I often want to know how much stuff you warlocks carry in your satchels!"
Chapter completed!
