Five days later.

Blackstone City East Gate.

Thirty warriors in powerful attire and weapons gathered outside the moat, next to three carriages loaded with goods.

Five of them stood in front of everyone, their status was obviously higher than the others, and they were talking together.

When other people looked at these five people, they unconsciously showed expressions of awe or envy.

Because these five people are all quasi-martial arts masters in the blood training realm, they are famous figures in the entire Black Rock City.

The five people are from the Zhang family, the Su family and the Xu family, which are big families in the inner city.

At this time, a young man dressed in Chinese clothes, holding a folding fan, and dressed like a young man walked towards the five people, fanning himself as he walked and said: "What is the third sister doing? Why is it so slow? I don't know that everyone is waiting.

?"

This person is none other than Xu Jin.

After receiving the notice from Xu Ling, he immediately visited Zhang Wu.

Before the departure time this morning, he rushed to the east city gate in advance with Sun Yuan, the Xu family priest who supported him.

"I really don't know the etiquette." Sun Yuan said calmly.

The other four Blood Training Realm priests heard this and did not say anything. They did not want to get involved in the internal fighting of the Xu family.

Seeing that no one was following, Xu Jin couldn't use the topic anymore, so he smiled and then talked attentively with the four blood training realm worshipers.

...

"coming!"

I don’t know who spoke first, but everyone followed the sound and looked towards the city gate.

I saw an old man wearing a purple robe, chicken skin and white hair walking out of the east city gate.

Behind him were a man and a woman.

The boy on the left has a handsome appearance and is dressed in a lake blue outfit. The girl on the right has good features and picturesque eyebrows and is dressed in an aqua outfit.

The young man has a strong back and strong waist, and a tall and straight figure, which makes the girl more petite and exquisite, and her slender waist can only be hugged, which makes people feel pity for her.

The two of them stood together, like a couple.

The visitors were none other than Han Zhao and Xu Ling.

The old man in purple robe is Feng Xiao, who is worshiped by the Xu family.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long." Feng Xiao raised his hands to the five Blood Training Realm worshippers.

"Mr. Feng, you're welcome."

"It's not time to set off yet, it's because we came early."

The five people clasped their fists and returned the salute, very politely.

Although Feng Xiao is old and has long passed the peak period of Qi and blood, and has no possibility of gaining strength, as a quasi-martial artist who has achieved three Qi-blood breakthroughs in the Blood Training Realm, he is the highest-level martial artist in the entire team, so no one trusts him.

big.

At this time, one of the blood training realm priests in purple robes came to the front of the team, waved to the warriors behind, and said loudly: "Since everyone is here, let's set off!"

This person's name is Zhang Linlu, and he is the leader of this mission.

"Yes!" The warriors lined up in an orderly manner and divided into three people to drive.

Xu Jin walked forward with a fake smile on his face and said, "Third sister, I wish you a safe journey and leave early and come back early."

Seeing this, Xu Ling could only smile and deal with it.

"Brother Xu, won't you go with the team?" Han Zhao said suddenly. If Xu Jin can be allowed to accompany him, he can join him at the destination and solve Xu Ling's troubles.

Xu Jin was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head: "It's such a long journey, and it's a tiring journey, so I won't go and say goodbye."

As he spoke, he waved his folding fan and walked slowly towards the city.

Han Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, 'Let you live a few more days first.'

...

From Black Rock City to Jade Wind City, the first half is basically a flat official road, which is relatively safe.

The second half of the journey requires climbing over mountains and ridges, but it’s not difficult to walk.

But for some reason, Zhang Linlu, who was leading the team, always chose the most remote path from the moment he left Blackstone City and entered the second half of the journey.

In Han Zhao's opinion, the road that originally only took ten days to complete was not completed even after fifteen days of walking.

This evening.

The sun was setting in the west, and the sunset dyed the entire sky red.

Zhang Linlu stood at the fork in the forest, took out a map made of something like parchment and looked at it.

Soon, he pointed to the road to the east and said to the warriors behind him: "Five miles further that way, there is a small village."

"Very good!"

“Finally no need to sleep in the wild!”

"You can have a peaceful sleep!"

The warriors cheered.

They have been sleeping in the wild in the past few days, and wild wolves howled at every turn. Last night, they were attacked by wild boars, and the group could not sleep well.

In this world, wandering outside is a scary thing.

Wild beasts in the wild and bandits hiding in the mountains and forests are all potentially fatal factors.

After traveling all day today, it would be great to find a place to stay and rest for the night.

At this time, Han Zhao came forward and said, "Mr. Zhang, have you been to that village before?"

"I haven't been there, but since it's marked on the map, someone should have been there." Zhang Linlu explained. Seeing Han Zhao frowning slightly, he asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Han Zhao was someone Zhang Wu valued, so Zhang Linlu was very polite to him.

"No, I'm just asking." Han Zhao shook his head and continued: "I don't feel safe in a place like this that I have never been to before. How about we continue on our way?"

He thought about it and, if possible, asked the team to bypass that village. After the mission was completed, he would go alone.

This is safer and you don't need to worry about anyone.

At the same time, these people in the team don't have to die in vain.

"There should be no problem." Zhang Linlu responded, then pondered for a moment, "But what you said makes sense."

"What's the problem? Living in the wild is dangerous! We encountered wild wolves at night before. At least we have a shelter from the wind and rain in the village."

"That's right! What danger could there be?"

"There are so many of us, even if we encounter dozens of bad guys, we are not afraid of them."

"Han Zhao, you are too timid! If you like to live outdoors, just sleep outside alone!"

Seeing that Zhang Linlu was about to be persuaded by Han Zhao, the warriors immediately became anxious, and some even spoke rudely.

It's really uncomfortable to sleep outdoors in the late autumn night.

What's more, in the eyes of many people, Han Zhao just wanted to establish his position in the team in this way.

"With us here, when will it be your turn to worry! What a meddling in other people's business!" Sun Yuan sneered. Facing Han Zhao, a 'minion' from the 'hostile camp', what he said was very unpleasant.

.

"Sun Gongfeng! You can't help but say what you said..." When Xu Ling heard this, he immediately became unhappy and wanted to step forward to argue.

Han Zhao quickly grabbed her and whispered: "Forget it."

"Humph!" Sun Yuan snorted coldly.

Seeing that the warriors in the team denounced Han Zhao, and the worshipers of the Xu family even directly scolded him, Zhang Linlu naturally listened to the opinions of the majority.

"In this case, let's go to the village to stay overnight. Remember! No one is allowed to act without permission, and we will stay on duty at night as usual."

The warriors cheered.

Han Zhao's expression remained as usual.

If he hadn't known the outcome, he would have felt that it was safer to stay in a village than to sleep in the wild.

It's just now... life or death depends on one's destiny and one's ability.

Anyway, these people were not familiar with him, so it would be the best thing to do to persuade him.

Even if he said that there was a ghost in the village and his life would be at risk if he went there, who would believe him?

He didn't care at all about the ridicule from everyone just now.

Why compete with the dead?
