The city gate is set off by the rising sun, and the morning begins gradually.
Ren Qing and others took their packages and walked out of Sanxiang City together.
They looked at the lush woods beside the official road, smeared insect repellent on their bodies, and even swallowed a few weird pills.
Although the destination is not far away, you have to walk on a mountainous road after all, so you must be well prepared.
This is the first time Ren Qing has left the city since arriving in this world.
The rest of the people were not much better, they were all born and raised in Sanxiang City, so the one with the most experience was actually Xiao Wu.
Ren Qing took out a simple map from his arms, with the route to the meeting point marked on it, so that he could meet the jailer then.
However, the real disaster relief restricted area is still far away, and the yamen will not leak information about the restricted area so easily.
Ren Qing thought for a moment and said: "Let's set off first. We will try to reach Pingdingshan at night. There is a village there where we can stay."
Wang Wen, as a police officer and the eldest government servant, had little trust in Ren Qing and couldn't help but give him repeated warnings.
"You have to watch the map carefully and don't get lost."
"It can't be wrong."
Ren Qing didn't care about Wang Wen's opinion and directed everyone to go along the official road.
The fireman is in the middle of the team, and the catchers are at the head and tail to prevent sudden dangers.
Xiao Wu nudged Ren Qing with his elbow and said softly: "Brother Qing, you have to keep walking. Is your health okay?"
Ren Qing shook his head and replied: "What's the matter? Besides, if everything goes well, we can arrive there in two days."
"kindness."
Xiao Wu was still a little worried. After all, Ren Qing's health was really not good a few days ago. It was just a matter of whether he could hold on.
The team gradually moved away from Sanxiang City.
But the situation was not optimistic. The roars of wild beasts could clearly be heard in the woods beside the official road, and there was even movement in the grass.
"Any messenger, there is a corpse..."
The speaker's name is Guo Qing. He is another detective who is about the same age as Ren Qing. He seems very uncomfortable in a strange environment.
Ren Qing came to the location pointed by Guo Qing and checked.
The body was found lying in the mud pit, with a sallow complexion and thin skin, wearing shabby cotton and linen clothes, with multiple stab wounds on the chest and abdomen.
"It should be the body of a bandit who was chased here by officers and soldiers."
Ren Qing was a little confused. It seemed that the bandits were still relatively poor.
Come to think of it, caravans rarely set out in Sanxiang City, and the bandits completely eat their fill. How do they make a living on weekdays?
Zhu Ding couldn't help but asked: "Didn't the messenger say that all the corpses should be burned cleanly?"
Ren Qing explained: "Officers and soldiers will not deal with scattered corpses, otherwise it will easily cause continuous mountain fires."
Everyone suddenly realized that they no longer paid attention to the corpse.
Little did he know that when Ren Qing pushed the body away with his feet, he noticed that there was a large area of charred black on the back of the body.
He subconsciously looked in the direction of the blood stains on the corpse, and saw a few pairs of blood-red eyes in the dark mountain forest.
It was a thin wolf with gray fur.
The rumored mountain wolf is extremely cunning in nature, and will even follow its prey for days and nights.
"I'm really going to become a sperm."
Ren Qing understood that the corpse was probably brought by mountain wolves from the mountain forest. They used the corpse to trap their prey, which showed how smart they were.
Naturally, Ren Qing could not let himself be targeted. When the others were not paying attention, he opened his narrowed eyes and used the nerve and foot meridian.
A terrifying aura emanated, which Xiao Wu and others could not detect, but those beasts were different.
The mountain wolves howled lowly and hurriedly entered the forest.
This movement frightened Guo Qing and made him tremble all over.
He hurriedly pulled out the sword from his waist. Unexpectedly, it was a false alarm, and the wolf howl gradually moved away from the official road.
Everyone realized that the danger was passing by, and they instinctively felt scared.
After this, the team's walking speed subconsciously accelerated a lot, and even lunch was eaten with dry food.
They wanted to follow what Ren Qing said and reach the open Pingding Mountain before dark.
Ren Qing took a break from his busy schedule and stuffed some pig eyes into his stomach with his mouth while yawning. Heat immediately spread throughout his body.
It is really convenient after mastering the Taotie Technique, but it consumes one year of life, causing the promotion to the Ghost Envoy realm to be postponed.
Each has its pros and cons, but at least so far I'm quite satisfied.
After walking peacefully on the official road for more than half an hour, it seemed that the previous encounter with the mountain wolf was just an insignificant episode.
Soon there were forks in the official road, and there was an additional path leading to the mountains and forests.
They fearfully entered the muddy mountain road from the flat official road, where countless poisonous snakes and beasts were hidden.
All we have to do is be more cautious.
Ren Qing checked the map several times and after confirming that it was correct, Wang Wen took the lead into the dense and boundless mountain forest with a saber in hand.
The light was blocked by the leaves, and strange sounds could be heard faintly in the distance.
Ren Qing looked up at the sun from time to time to confirm the direction to avoid deviations and get lost. He also had to pay attention to the approach of wild animals.
He originally thought that his cultivation in the Half-Zombie Realm would be enough to handle him in the wilderness, but he didn't expect that the continuous operation of the double pupil would become too much for him.
This is just the mountains near Sanxiang City. If you go to places full of restricted areas, you won't survive for more than a few days.
However, for Ren Qing, he can take this opportunity to better master the technique.
Everyone continued walking deep into the mountains and forests.
When the sun sets, Pingding Mountain can be vaguely seen in the distance.
The hilltop is surrounded by trees, but there is an open space in the center with a dozen thatched houses the size of sesame seeds.
In fact, most of the villagers in this small mountain village with a small population are hunters, who come to Sanxiang City every few days to sell local goods.
Guo Qing's mood was cheered up. As long as he went to the mountain village, he could have a comfortable night's rest, and he didn't even need to eat the dry food he brought with him.
Moreover, he has a good relationship with the hunters in the village, and they occasionally have drinks together in the city.
"Wait a moment."
Ren Qing stopped the team with a strange expression, then found a big and strong tree and climbed up.
Xiao Wu opened his mouth wide in surprise, where is the physical weakness that he promised?!!
Wang Wen was slightly dissatisfied, but found that the others were waiting patiently, so naturally it was difficult to say anything.
Ren Qing ignored everyone. He stood on the top of a tree branch and looked at the mountain village in the distance, his eyes turning faster again.
But after all, people with double eyes are not good at seeing from a distance. He could only vaguely see a dozen figures in the mountain village walking into the forest.
Then it disappeared.
"What's the matter, send someone?"
Guo Qing couldn't help shouting. Seeing that it was getting later and later, he just wanted to rush to the mountain village to rest as soon as possible.
"fine."
Ren Qing jumped down from the big tree nimbly. Maybe the villagers suddenly had something happen and they might return to the village soon.
Besides, it's better than sleeping in the mountains.
He increased his vigilance and took the initiative to replace Guo Qing in the first place.
After everyone saw Ren Qing's skills, they didn't have much opinion.
The distance slowly approaches, and the isolated Pingdingshan Village comes into view.
