Zhou Hanbei walked alone among the mountains, carefully observing his surroundings.
"Damn it, what a shabby place, the road is so difficult." Zhou Hanbei raised his head and looked at the sky. The October sun was still scorching hot, and the weather was unbearably stuffy.
Fortunately, there are many trees in this mountain range, which blocks a lot of sunlight and brings a bit of coolness as autumn is about to begin.
"Hey, if this goes on, I'm going to starve to death if I'm not beaten to death." Zhou Hanbei sighed again and said, "I would have called Sister Ruyuan, and packed some game to eat before leaving."
Thinking about Jiang Ruyuan, I don't know where she is now and whether she is safe. I lowered my head and looked at myself, no, this style is wrong, I am wearing something like a young man.
I put down my crutches, grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground, and smeared it on my face. It was all over my clothes, my hair was messy, and my trouser legs were torn into strips. I looked like a little beggar.
The exposed eyes were clear and transparent, shining with a hint of shrewdness.
After doing all this, see if there is anything wrong. Since I don’t know where I am now, I can only continue walking in the direction mentioned before. I will wait until I reach a place where there are people and then ask. Thinking about this, I picked up the crutches and walked towards the west.
Not far ahead, Zhou Hanbei saw wisps of green smoke rising through the gaps in the trees, and a long, round fat man with a shaved head. He looked 1.9 meters tall and looked like a wall.
The fat man was sitting by the fire, roasting the leg of an unknown beast, with eyes wide open, as if he couldn't wait to eat it right away.
Looking at the sizzling and oily animal legs, Zhou Hanbei's stomach rumbled, he swallowed his saliva, and walked towards the man involuntarily. Before he could get closer.
"Roar..." There was a low roar, and a white shadow rushed towards Zhou Hanbei, throwing him to the ground. It turned out to be a white wolf. The white wolf's claws pressed on Zhou Hanbei's shoulder, and opened his blood.
With his big mouth open, those sharp fangs were about to bite Zhou Hanbei's neck.
"Xiao Bai, stop..." The fat man said in time to stop him.
Looking at the fangs parked in front of him, the scarlet tongue was dripping with saliva, which was extremely fishy. Because of the injury, he had no time to react and was thrown to the ground.
Zhou Hanbei struggled to get up and looked at the man and the beast with vigilant eyes.
"Xiaobai, you are naughty again, brother, I'm sorry." The fat man, with a simple and honest face, touched his bald head and said. "Brother, my little white is very good and doesn't hurt anyone. He will follow you."
Playing."
"Who is your eldest brother? Are you playing with me?" Zhou Hanbei looked at the fat man and smiled. The wrinkles on his forehead suggested that you might be the eldest brother.
"My grandpa said that when you go out, you must respect others. If you are older than me, you are the eldest brother."
Even though Zhou Hanbei looked like a beggar, he didn't look like a teenager. As the two of them chatted, it turned out that the white wolf was the fat man's contracted spirit beast and had signed a contract with him since he was a child.
The reason why I didn't notice it before was because the white wolf was hiding in the dark and on guard. It was discovered when Zhou Hanbei came over. When he saw him coming forward, the white wolf pounced on him, also to protect the fat man.
Looking at this silly big guy, Zhou Hanbei looked incredulous.
"Are you really 16? Oops, how did you grow like this?" he asked, looking at that mature face.
"I don't know either. My father and grandfather are both taller than me. Anyway, they have made me eat hard since I was a child, for fear that I would not grow taller." The fat man answered all questions.
"Oh, no, my beastly legs."
Smelling a burning smell, the fat man reacted and ran over to check.
Listening to the fat man's words and what had just happened, Zhou Hanbei forgot about his hunger. He covered his growling stomach and followed him, preparing to eat some.
Watching the fat man clean up the burnt parts and then start feasting, Zhou Hanbei watched eagerly as he ate with gusto, not caring about what the people next to him thought. He couldn't sit here.
"Hey, hey, I said brother, there is someone else next to you."
"What's wrong, brother, tell me."
"Listen, listen carefully."
"What are you listening to? Oh, did I disturb you? Then I'll keep it down and eat."
Seeing the fat man chewing his food carefully, Zhou Hanbei couldn't say anything, can't you hear my stomach growling?
"Did your grandpa tell you that when meeting new friends, you need to know how to share?"
"Yes, yes." The fat man looked at Zhou Hanbei, then lowered his head and started eating.
Zhou Hanbei was going crazy and said directly, "Give me some of your meat. I'm really hungry."
"Hey, if you want it, just say it. How will I know you want it if you don't tell me?" After saying that, he tore off a large piece of meat and handed it to Zhou Hanbei.
Zhou Hanbei was not polite, took the meat and started eating it.
After eating the last piece of meat, the fat man threw the bones on the ground, rubbed his belly with his big palm-leaf fan hands, and burped, "I'm still a little not full. As expected, the only thing I can't live up to is the delicious food."
You're not full yet, the beast's legs weigh at least 20 or 30 kilograms, and they basically go into your stomach alone. You have a really big appetite.
"By the way, brother, my name is Niu Defa, from the Han Dynasty Beast Control Sect." Niu Defa didn't care whether the other person was a bad person or not, he just shook it off.
Zhou Hanbei looked at that honest look, considered it, and did not lie to the simple and stupid man in front of him, "My name is Zhou Hanbei."
"Then I will call you Brother Zhou from now on, hehe."
Zhou Hanbei was actually the same age as Niu Defa, but he was a month older, so he recognized this honest and honest younger brother. The two had a great time chatting together, mostly Zhou Hanbei asked questions and Niu Defa answered.
Zhou Hanbei wanted to know how much Niu Defa knew about what was happening around here these days and what the situation was now. Niu Defa found out that he had no idea what he was doing here.
It turns out that the family just wants him to come out and see more, and they will let him contract a second spiritual beast when he returns to the sect next time, and everything has been prepared for him.
"Then what have you noticed happening here lately?"
"No, I found that there are very few wild animals here and there is no good food to eat."
Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, this is not a magical place, there are no animals. It seems that I can't ask anything.
At this moment, the white wolf faced a certain direction and growled with bared teeth. The two turned their heads and looked into the distance. A group of people in black robes gradually walked out of the bushes and came into view of the two of them. At that moment, the people in black robes scattered in all directions.
, surrounded Zhou Hanbei and the others.
The men in black robes surrounding them were none other than members of the Tang Sect.
"What are you doing here?"
"We didn't do anything. We were just barbecuing here and we just finished eating."
The man in black robe turned dark, that's what I meant.
"Have you seen any strangers?"
"Yes, I have"
The man in black robe looked happy.
"It's you"
After listening to Niu Defa's words, the man in black robe had a dark look on his face. He stopped asking questions and just played the piano to Niu Defa.
"You are playing tricks on me, seeking death."
The man in black robe said as he picked up the crossbow and raised his hand to shoot at them.
"Wait a minute, that's not what my brother meant. If you have something to say, please tell me." Zhou Hanbei saw this and explained. "What on earth do you want to do?"
"Huh, do you know that we from the Tang Sect died here while working here?"
"How do we know this? What are we doing?"
Zhou Hanbei showed a submissive look.
The man in black robe looked at Zhou Hanbei carefully, "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. Why are you acting like this? Just tell me if you saw anyone acting suspiciously?"
Speaking of this, Zhou Hanbei told the man in black robe with a mournful face. He originally planned to go to Shushan Sect to see if he could join the sect, but he encountered a wild beast on the road. He was of low strength, so he looked like this. As for his suspicious behavior
He has never seen such a person.
I was hungry all the way, so when I met Niu Defa, I shamelessly went to get some food. I really didn't know how to end up in this situation.
Niu Defa didn't understand what they were talking about, so he just stood aside obediently. The man in black robe listened to Zhou Hanbei's words, and upon inspection, he found that his strength was indeed low, and there was nothing suspicious about it.
Turning around to look at Niu Defa, he was also in the realm of creation. The spiritual pet was only in the early stage of the mysterious realm, and he was stupid. It looked like he couldn't handle it in the realm of life and death.
"Don't run around if you have nothing to do. Leave quickly. This is no place for you to stay." After saying this, the man in black robe waved and led everyone away.
Zhou Hanbei breathed a sigh of relief. Most of the people in the group just now had higher cultivation levels than the two of them, and they were more powerful. Fortunately, they didn't start a fight. Otherwise, it would have been another fierce battle, and they might have to stay.
"Brother, they asked us to leave, where are we going?" Niu Defa asked naively.
"Didn't your grandpa ask you to come out and experience things? You can go by yourself."
Niu Defa looked at Zhou Hanbei with a puzzled expression, "But brother, I know you, you can take me with you."
Seeing that Niu Defa didn't understand what he meant, Zhou Hanbei was too embarrassed to ask him directly not to follow him. After all, he had received a favor from him, so after thinking about it, he decided to take him with him.
The two of them and the beast set off on the road like this. Even though Niu De was tall and tall, this was also his first time going out. He had never seen many things. He was very interested along the way and asked questions about everything he saw.
"Just rest here." Zhou Hanbei pointed at the small river and said.
Regardless of whether Niu Defatong agreed or not, he sat down and began to practice. The physical injury was not healed yet, so he had to seize the time to recover. After that, he began to run the Great Freedom Heart Sutra, guiding the absorbed spiritual energy to accumulate in the injured area.
I knew that Niu Defa was not very advanced and he was naive, so he couldn't tell his skills. Moreover, Niu Defa didn't pay attention to how he practiced at all. He was just bored by himself.
"You guys, you guys are really stupid." A man with a handsome face, fair skin, and an extremely sharp blade on his slender fingers kept flipping over, jumping nimbly on his fingertips like a dancing elf.
"Whoa..." The blade flashed away, and the man covered his neck, making a sound of "Uh-huh" in his throat, and fell to the ground.
The remaining people were half kneeling on the ground, shivering.
These were the same group of men in black robes who had spared Zhou Hanbei and his wife before.
"I don't care who it is or for what reason. I will not let go of anyone who kills my Tang Clan." With a sinister expression on his face, the man said again, "Anyone who appears nearby for no reason, regardless of their level, will be killed."
To avenge my Senior Brother Tian."
Everyone took the order and headed back to the place where they saw Zhou Hanbei before... This chapter has been completed!
