It is already early autumn, with a bright moon and few stars.
A plume of smoke rose from the forest. Beside a bonfire, Han Lin moved the firewood with branches and grilled a skinned and marinated game. The aroma of meat spread out, making people's index fingers twitch.
"I didn't expect that the young master could be so good at craftsmanship. This tastes so delicious, I'm almost drooling!" A strong, dark-faced man stared straight at the game in Han Lin's hand and couldn't help but lick his lips.
My mouth is almost watering.
"Uncle Hu Guang, I see you are so greedy that your saliva is dripping down! Okay, this one is almost ready, so I'll give it to you to eat first!" Han Lin smiled and handed over the game in his hand. That's called Hu Guang.
Guang's black-faced man was surprised and said: "Young master, you are not kidding me! This is not okay, the young master should eat first, we are servants, we cannot break the rules!"
"In that case, I'll eat it first, and then I'll bake one for each of you!" Han Lin said, taking the game back politely, opening his mouth and getting ready to start. Then Hu Guang swallowed his saliva
, staring at the game in Han Lin's hand with some disappointment in his heart. Obviously, he didn't mean what he said, and he regretted it so much. What did he do? He just took it and ate it. It's not like this is the Han family. How can it be so?
There are so many rules. The young master took the initiative, but he still talked too much. I really wanted to slap myself twice.
"Haha, Uncle Hu Guang, do you regret it?" Han Lin grinned like a roundworm in his belly, handed the game over again, and said: "Don't tell me any rules, I said it here.
Forget it, there are not so many rules. If I tell you to eat, you can eat it, otherwise, I will let Uncle Hu eat it first!"
Hu Guang was startled and quickly took it. He even forgot to say thank you. He looked warily at the other dark-faced man next to him and muttered: "I won't let him go first!"
Hu Da on the side glared at him: "You only have this little potential, who wants to compete with you! Young Master, don't worry about him, he is just a food waste, and it is of no use even if he is fed. Don't be hungry yourself."
good."
"Who are you calling a loser? You are just a bastard. You have to be slow to do anything!" Hu Guang took a hard bite of the game and didn't forget to retort.
Han Lin was amused as he listened. These two brothers were really interesting. One called his younger brother a loser, and the other called his older brother a bastard. He just felt pity for their innocent parents who were implicated.
Han Lin roasted three more portions of game, one for Hu Da, one for himself, and the other one he personally delivered to Han Dang, who was spreading wild animals within ten feet around.
"Uncle Dang, here it is, this is your food." Han Lin handed over the game. Han Dang just finished scattering the game. He smiled at him and said in a stiff voice: "Thank you, young master!"
Han Lin knew that Han Dang was stabbed in the throat and his voice was injured in a battle. After he recovered, his speech became like this, stiff and cold, and even his expression looked very stiff. Han Lin laughed and said: "
Uncle, don't be too unconventional. Since you are my grandfather's adopted son, you are also my uncle. Calling me young master is too unconventional. Just call me Han Lin, which sounds closer to me."
"Young master, you are so proud." Han Dang said stiffly, but the title remained unchanged.
"Uh... well, Uncle Dang, why don't we stay in the inn instead of sleeping in the forest?" Han Lin hesitated for a moment and finally asked today's question. Just when it was getting dark, they happened to
Passing a small town, there was an inn there, so there was no need to sleep in the forest. He didn't know it at the time. He just thought that if he went further, there might be villages and towns, but it wasn't until he walked more than ten miles that he found
I found that I had arrived in a forest, and it was completely dark, so it was impossible to hurry on.
"Young Master, you have to be careful when you are out. Haven't you noticed by now that we are being followed?" Han Dang handed over the game and took the opportunity to whisper in Han Lin's ear.
Han Lin was startled, but he was very calm and did not scream loudly.
Seeing his performance, Han Dang nodded with satisfaction and walked back to the campfire. Han Lin scanned the surroundings vigilantly. With his eyesight, if there was someone walking within a hundred feet, he could see it at a glance. Of course.
, in this forest, there are too many trees and dense branches and leaves. It is much harder to find someone hiding among the leaves. Let alone one hundred feet, it is already incredible to find someone hiding among the leaves within ten feet, let alone one hundred feet.
After a quick scan, I found nothing at all.
Han Lin was confused. He had always been very thoughtful. It was not like he hadn't noticed any unusual movements along the way. It was impossible for anyone to follow him. Could it be that Han Dang had discovered something? Was he testing me? He was loyal to his grandfather.
If he discovers my secret, it will be troublesome! No, no, no one can see my intention so far. I am going to Yaowang Valley to become a disciple. How can he be suspicious?
Don't scare yourself, otherwise you will be exposed!
After being comforted in this way, Han Lin also walked back to the campfire, sat down in his place, and began to eat his share of game.
During this period, Han Lin pretended to be nonchalant and secretly observed Han Dang several times. This middle-aged man, who was nearly fifty years old, had a slightly rough face. There was a shocking scar on his jaw that extended to his Adam's apple, which should have caused him to make a sound.
Abnormal old injuries. Han Dang is still older than his father Han Chong, but his cultivation level is very different. However, with his background, it is not easy to reach the fate-breaking state.
Among the casual cultivators, every master in the Destiny Realm has endured a very tragic experience. Which one does not have some scars on his body, and which one does not have a few lives on his body. Especially rangers, or hunters.
Killing monsters to collect materials, or killing people to steal resources. In short, the higher the level of a ranger, the heavier the blood debt they bear. Some are even devils who are so vicious that they have killed countless people.
Although cruel, the world of Xuanxiu is originally like this. Killing people, stealing goods, and competing for resources. Everyone wants to become stronger so as not to be hunted by stronger people. This phenomenon is especially tragic in the profession of ranger. Small gangs, small gangs
There are constant wars between gangs, with the stronger ones annexing the weaker ones, and then being annexed by the more powerful ones. Then, just one bloody battle between two powerful gangs can lead to both losses and even death.
Under such a premise, rangers basically cannot become a big phenomenon, so over the years, the four major dynasties have allowed the existence of rangers. Such a large mystical world, without these fights and killings, may become more unbalanced
.This is also the reason why the four major dynasties allow various gangs and sects to exist in addition to the four major universities. With these intrigues, the Xuanxiu world will be peaceful. As long as the dynasties master the means of checks and balances, they can rest easy.
Han Lin still knew a lot about rangers. He always felt that Han Dang was a dangerous existence following him.
While Han Lin was lost in thought, Han Dang's eyes suddenly flashed and he looked up in one direction, his eyes full of vigilance.
"Uncle Dang, what's wrong?" Han Lin asked nervously.
The two brothers Hu Da and Hu Guang also immediately became vigilant, each holding weapons in their hands, ready to fight at any time.
"Haha, you don't need to be so nervous. We are just passing by." A rough voice came from not far away, followed by a burst of chaotic footsteps. It seemed that a large number of people were coming this way.
Brothers Hu Da and Hu Guang immediately protected Han Lin, while Han Dang stood in front, waiting for the arrival of the gang.
Leaning slightly, a group of people appeared within the reach of the fire. Han Lin could see clearly that there were seven people in total, including men and women. The leader was tall, ten feet tall, with a rough face, and he was carrying a big sword on his back.
Han Lin's body is as big as Han Lin's. The six people behind this rugged man are four men and two women, two men dressed as guards, and the remaining four are all boys and girls. Both men are handsome, with the same face.
The first one looks arrogant, the other one is slightly frivolous. These two people probably have a simple background.
The last two girls were dressed as masters and servants. The girl in the luxurious green shirt was about the same age as Han Lin, and she also had an arrogant look on her face, but she was extremely beautiful. She was of natural beauty and had a slim figure.
, protruding forward and curving back, reminded Han Lin of Su Ying, the eldest daughter of the Su family in Lingyue City. The figure and temperament of this girl are very similar to Su Ying. And the maid next to the girl in green shirt,
Although she is much inferior in comparison, she is still in her prime and has the right figure.
Han Lin had sharp eyesight and soon saw some clues from these seven people. The rough man at the head must be a character like Han Dang on their side, and the two guard-looking men at the back were responsible for escorting the four behind them.
He's a young man. He doesn't seem to be a bad person.
"Brother, we were just passing by. We saw the fire here and came to join in the fun." The rough man at the head said to Han Dang carelessly.
Han Lin frowned, thinking that this guy was too defenseless!
Han Dang replied without thinking: "Since you are all on your way, why not stay here as a companion."
When Han Lin heard this, he was surprised: What's going on with Han Dang? Didn't he say that someone was following him? Why did he get involved with this group of people of unknown origin? Aren't he afraid that this was a trap?
"Haha, this brother is so cheerful. In this case, there are many people to keep company with, so we won't be polite." The rough man said, and ordered the two guard men behind him to set up camp in the open space next to Han Lin and the others.
"What kind of shabby place is this? Why don't you stay in an inn? You have to come here to feed mosquitoes!" At this time, the girl in green shirt complained dissatisfiedly, waving her slender hands in the air as if to drive away mosquitoes.
He seemed extremely impatient.
"Cousin in Tsing Yi, please be patient. Since Uncle Zhao Xuan has said that, it's definitely not false. It's better for us to be careful." The young man with a somewhat frivolous appearance took the initiative to come over and chase away the mosquitoes for the girl in Tsing Yi while persuading.
That look made Han Lin even more certain that this person was definitely a playboy like Han Biao.
"Hmph, I don't think so." The arrogant-looking young man snorted and said disapprovingly: "I have been paying attention secretly along the way, but I haven't found any suspicious people or things at all. How could there be someone?
Follow us! Moreover, even if someone is following us, why would we come to sleep in the forest? Wouldn’t it make it more advantageous for the other party to follow us? Hiding in dense leaves will even make it easier to sneak attack on us!”
Han Lin's heart moved, and it turned out that their experiences were exactly the same as ours! After hearing what the arrogant young man said, Han Lin suddenly realized: No, in this forest, although it is easier for the other party to hide, but if we have someone above the fate-breaking realm,
Xuan Cultivator, the situation is completely different! Xuan Cultivators above the Destruction Realm can use their luck to sense. As long as there is any disturbance within ten feet of the surrounding area, they can immediately sense it! In this forest, the branches and leaves are dense.
It’s the opponent’s biggest flaw that exposes Xingzang!
Na Han is worthy of being a ranger, and his experience is really mature!
