The day to leave the city came soon.

It was still dark, and Wei Tao had already gotten up.

He put on the dark armor, arm guards, and leg guards one by one and fastened them tightly.

Then put on a customized outfit outside.

Two thick-backed machetes were tied behind the waist.

All kinds of concealed weapons are also sorted and placed in place.

Finally, he put on a large cloak to protect him from the cold, picked up the baggage containing various supplies, and left the house towards the martial arts gym.

The streets were deserted.

From time to time a whirlwind blew by, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Some gang members armed with swords began to gather, causing ordinary residents who came out for activities in the morning to take shelter.

Wei Tao pressed down his bamboo hat and glanced at the gang members passing by in groups.

The Hidden Sword Society, Changlefang, Shanjiamen, and Liehu Gang are basically all big forces with a name in the outer city.

Suddenly, he stopped and turned his head to look back.

Da da da…

The intensive sound of horse hooves came from far to near, and the ground shook slightly.

Wei Tao stopped and turned around to look.

I only saw a team of black-armored knights with a tight lineup.

Carrying a long bow on his back and a saber on his waist,

Rushing along the long street.

These knights are taller, especially their legs and arms, which are muscular and bulging.

It looks extremely thick, like a piece of hard iron ingot.

There were not many pedestrians on the road, and they all gave way and hid aside, not daring to look directly.

"It's the Zhou family's black knight."

Wei Tao observed silently, "And compared to the team that came back from outside the city last time, they look stronger and better equipped."

kindness?

Suddenly, the black-armored knight at the end of the battle turned to look.

His eyes met with those of Wei Tao in mid-air.

"This person..."

Wei Tao couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.

The knight just turned his head and came over, his eyes shining brightly, shooting out a dazzling light, which actually made his eyeballs irritated and slightly painful.

Also, that man was a whole lot bigger than the other black knights, both in terms of body shape and the war horse under his crotch.

The face under the helmet was reddish-purple in color, with two dots of bright red between the eyebrows. It looked like he had a third eye.

Wei Tao watched him go away.

After careful observation, his eyes couldn't help but freeze again.

The knight's hand holding the reins was more than twice as big as that of an ordinary person, and the veins were bulging high, as if they were wrapped with blue-gray iron chains, making it look ferocious and terrifying.

Even the iron spear he carried on his horse's back was much thicker and heavier than the knight in front of him, and was as thick as the rim of a large cup.

Wei Tao could fully imagine how terrifying the impact would be if this man charged forward on horseback and then thrust out that big spear.

If he were an ordinary Qi-blood warrior, even if he was wearing standard iron armor, he would probably be pierced by a spear and there would be no chance of survival.

"If I were to fight him head-on..."

Wei Tao fell into thinking, but did not come to a definite conclusion.

We still need to play a game to know who loses and who wins.

The entire long street fell into complete silence, except for the sound of black cavalry treading the ground gradually fading away.

"call……"

It wasn't until all the black knights disappeared that someone let out a long breath of white breath.

The man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with emotion, "Is this the eldest young master of the Zhou family, Zhou Mingzun? He is getting more and more powerful."

"Yeah, I don't know who is stronger or weaker compared to Huang Qilin."

"It's hard to say. It is said that both of them have cultivated their ancestral martial arts to an advanced level and completed the transformation of Qi and blood. If we really want to compare, we can only know if we actually do it."

"That is the eldest son of the Huang and Zhou family, the head of the next generation of the family.

If you let them fight with real swords and guns, you are simply dreaming!"

Wei Tao walked past two gang members who were talking quietly and couldn't help but slow down a little.

The two of them immediately fell silent.

However, they were glared at by Wei Tao, and each of them shivered.

"Why didn't you say anything when I came?"

"You two, do you look down on me or what?"

He frowned, spoke condescendingly, and spoke in a low tone.

Gudong!

The two of them swallowed their saliva and smiled, "Sir, whatever you want to hear, we will tell you now."

Wei Tao nodded with satisfaction, "Let's continue telling the story that Huang Qilin and Zhou Mingzun have to tell. I have limited time, so I will focus on the key points and describe them in detail."

The sky is getting brighter.

The sun cannot penetrate the clouds, and it looks dark and gloomy in broad daylight.

Coupled with the cold wind that passed by from time to time, it brought a bone-chilling chill.

Everyone at the Red Line Gate left the city and headed north.

Thirty horses lined up in a queue, leaving a string of flying earth dragons on the official road.

After more than half an hour, we stayed away from the city and the suburban villages, and began to really go deep into the wilderness.

Rigid corpses began to appear on the roadside.

All of them were in ragged clothes and covered with thick white frost.

They posed in different poses, their eyes vacant and blank, as if they were staring at the passers-by.

From time to time, a crow with black feathers and blood-eyed eyes falls down,

Lying on the corpse and gnawing happily.

There were also a few wild dogs that were attracted. They were frightened by the movement of the cavalry and ran away, hiding in the distance to secretly observe.

Wei Tao frowned slightly, his face a little downcast.

The tip of his nose twitched, and he could vaguely smell the smell of rotting meat.

It emanated from these corpses.

Whoosh!

A figure jumped off the horse and landed directly in front of the corpse.

Guagua!

The frightened crow screamed and fluttered its wings.

But he was grabbed by a big hand, and his neck was broken with a little force.

"Teacher, this is a female corpse. There is a transparent wound on the chest, which should be caused by a sharp sword."

The figure wearing a hat and a heavy cloak spoke.

Surprisingly, it was Yan Shi who was ordered to stay in the martial arts hall.

Wei Tao didn't know how he convinced his teacher to join the bandit suppression team.

However, it can be considered a good thing to increase the overall combat power of the team.

"Ignore her and move on." Master Zhou sat upright on the horse without any intention of stopping.

The cavalry began to move and soon left the corpses behind.

"How far is it from here to Maoshi Village?"

After walking some distance, Master Zhou asked.

Tan Pan unfolded the animal skin map and compared the surrounding landforms.
