Ye Yi was overjoyed and said: "Then let's see you in the East China Sea." This place is still more than half a month away from the East China Sea, but there should be no risk. Besides, he can't force Xiao Yue and Tong Ying to stay. It would be best if they agree to meet in the East China Sea. But that's it.
Xiao Yue turned to Tianlan and said, "Then, be careful along the way."
When someone wants to leave, Tianlan naturally responds politely: "Take care,"
Tao'er was afraid that the world would be in chaos, so she waved her hands towards them and shouted: "Ayue, Sister Tongying, remember to bring me something fun,"
Xiao Yue staggered. Firstly, she was depressed to death by her words, and secondly, she was so shocked when she called out "Ayue" again. Tongying smiled and waved at Tao'er vigorously. Both women belonged to that group. They are so familiar with each other that people who don't know them think they are best friends who have been good friends for many years.
After the two people's backs completely disappeared from sight, Tian Lan sighed leisurely and said, "Let's go."
Ye Yi, Tao'er and Nangong Kui followed him. Although they still bickered from time to time, their eyes were more or less worried. How could they not see that Tian Lan was in a bad mood, and that he was very bad? The kind that, at the end of the day, even if they tried to tease him, he would just smile politely, without any smile at all, and the total words he said would not exceed ten...
As it was getting dark, they happened to arrive at the nearest town.
This town is called Linze Town, and it is a town that relies on the natural blessings of Yuling Forest. The interior of Yuling Forest is naturally dangerous and unpredictable, but the spiritual energy in the outer edge areas is enough to attract countless ordinary birds and animals to settle there. Therefore, it was able to support a large number of people who made a living by hunting. Over thousands of years, several moderately located villages naturally developed and eventually formed towns, as is the case with Linze Town.
Just as he was about to enter, he saw a group of people speeding out of the town. There were about twenty people in that group, most of whom were in their thirties or forties. Their clothes were very simple and rough, and some were even made of animal skins. Sewn together, the horses under their crotches have colorful fur. They are not famous species, but they are full of wildness, like unruly wild horses. Judging from their turbulent expressions, it seems that there is some emergency, otherwise these people would be in poverty. You can't afford horses for dressing up.
Tianlan raised his eyes and took a look. He roughly guessed that this was a hunting group. It was probably that they encountered a difficult and urgent prey, so they went out together. However, what does their prey have to do with him? He had no idea. If you are not interested, you have to pass those people by.
However, the group of people stopped in front of them, condescending, wild horses hissing, and there was an invisible sense of compulsion. The leader was an old hunter who had been walking in the mountains and forests all year round. roared: "Boy, stop, is there anything abnormal where you are coming from?"
His tone was quite impolite, as if a superior was scolding his subordinates. Perhaps they were used to being careless and didn't care so much, so they didn't restrain their tone.
Normally, Tian Lan would naturally respond politely. It is better to be kind to others than to cause trouble. However, what is very ominous is that now is the time when Tian Lan is in the worst mood in his life.
He glanced at the hunters coldly and without saying a word, he actually moved forward through them.
One of the hunters couldn't see it, thinking that you are a young boy who thinks highly of you when he asks you, but he dared to ignore you. He turned over and dismounted, stretched out his hand to grab Tianlan's shoulder, and said: " Where to go,,"
Tianlan remained motionless, quietly watching the man reach out, a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Suddenly, Ye Yi from behind him jumped out, grabbed the man's hand directly, with a big smile on his face, held it enthusiastically, and shouted happily: "Brother, it's great to see you, we I have been walking in these barren mountains for many days, and then I met you. It is fate." As he said this, he kept holding the man's hand and swinging it up and down vigorously, and at the same time, he used his body to block the waves of the sky without leaving any trace.
Tian Lan sighed silently, thinking to himself what was wrong with him, how could he get really angry at an ordinary person, who obviously didn't do anything but just asked for directions, yet he actually got angry because of his bad tone. If Ye Yi hadn't suddenly jumped out when he was about to kill someone, I'm afraid that person wouldn't be able to take his hand back...
The leading hunter vaguely felt a bit of chill, but it was fleeting and he didn't pay attention. He said: "Boy, did you see any abnormal phenomena along the way?"
Ye Yi blinked, pretending to be innocent, and said: "Abnormal phenomena, abnormal phenomena are everywhere. We encountered a big black bear two days ago, and it was so vicious that it wanted to eat people..."
Tao'er couldn't help but smile from behind, feeling that Ye Yi had really improved a lot under her influence. At least he was already decent in acting... and a big black bear. If so, Ye Yi would be After a fight, I brought some roasted bear paws.
The leading hunter made a black line and said: "I'm not talking about this... I'm talking about... um... have you ever seen an empty village, or a sudden burst of blood energy in a certain place?" He carefully selected his words and tried to be as accurate as possible. The face is expressive.
Ye Yi's eyes showed confusion, and Tao'er and Nangong Kui shook their heads. They had just come out of Yuling Forest. Linze Town was their first stop, and they didn't encounter anything unusual. Tao'er was afraid that her temper would show up again. , asked with interest: "What, what, tell me,"
The leader hunter saw that they really didn't know. Thinking that these people were just half-grown children of sixteen or seventeen years old, it was a good idea to remind them in words to avoid accidents: "It's like this. It is said that at the foot of Xuefeng Mountain in the north, there is an unparalleled weapon. A vicious sword appeared out of nowhere. The specific shape of this sword is unknown. I only heard that its sword body was wrapped with heavy black mist, and its evil energy was soaring into the sky. Wherever it passed, there would be blood splashing everywhere. It was a peerless vicious sword that was bloodthirsty and soul-stealing. , so far, several villages have been silently destroyed by it, and in just half a year, at least thousands of people died under the fierce sword..."
Nangong Kui groaned and said, "The owner of that sword must be a murderer."
One of the hunters replied: "It would be great if that were the case. The most chilling thing is that no one has seen the owner of that sword, only the sword..."
Nangong Kui was trembling all over and said: "You, you, you...you mean...the sword is killing people by itself."
All the hunters nodded solemnly. Nangong Kui almost fainted when he saw it. He was already timid. Even if he heard about such horrific things, he would be frightened. The sword can kill people by itself. How is this possible? The sword can kill people. It's a murder weapon. Even if you have a little bit of intelligence, you can't take the initiative to kill people and buy goods...
The hunters still had tasks to do, so I mentioned a few words and didn't have time to spend any more time with them, so they left in a hurry.
This was just a trivial matter to Tianlan and the others. Except for Nangong Kui who was nervous and unfounded, no one else took it to heart. The group of them entered Linze Town smoothly. The town felt a bit noisy and deserted. , only some hunters armed with weapons moved around.
It was already getting late, so Tianlan and the others went directly to the only inn in the town. Of course, inns in such small towns are naturally not as good as those in big cities. They are quite simple and simple, just a larger wooden house with a crooked roof. There is a plaque hanging, which reads "Linze Inn".
Before they even entered, there was a smell of alcohol hitting their faces, mixed with some unpleasant sweat odor, which made Tianlan and the others frown. Taoer even pinched her little nose, very reluctant to go in. Unfortunately, this was the only time. One hotel or another, no choice.
Entering it, you can hear the chaotic noise, a few drunkards gathered together in twos and threes and made loud noises, tables and chairs were swayed here and there, and bottles of wine were everywhere. The scene was more like a first-class gambling house than a serious inn.
In fact, this inn does not have any serious business. It is mostly a place where some hunters drink wine to celebrate when the harvest is good. They are all a bunch of rough people who usually mess around. Who cares about the image? Even occasionally, some locals take over the inn. No goods may be placed on the countertop or traded secretly.
Tianlan and the others stood at the door for a while, but no one paid any attention to them. Ye Yi couldn't bear it any longer, coughed loudly twice, attracting most of the people's attention, and said loudly: "Hey, are you still doing business here?"
Suddenly the whole hall became quiet. Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the door. A short man wearing a square cloth turban hurriedly ran over and said: "These young heroes are very friendly. They are here to stay." store?"
Ye Yi nodded and said: "Nonsense, it's almost dark. If you don't stay in a hotel, why don't you sleep in the open? Also, we are all hungry. Let's get something delicious."
The waiter's mouth twitched, thinking that this guy's attitude was quite arrogant, but since he was a businessman, he naturally had to keep a low profile, so he politely led them to a bright seat by the window.
As soon as they sat down, several drunken strong men came towards them, shouting indistinctly: "Boys, which road are you on, hiccup, do you know that this is our hiccup territory..." "
Ye Yi scratched his head, feeling helpless and said: "Uncle, if you are drunk, you should go home and go to bed as soon as possible. Why are you still holding on?"
One of the stronger men who was a little more awake said, "Which family are you kids from? You actually ran out to play on your own. Do you know it's dangerous outside?" This sentence sounded good, but what he said next was Ye Yi and others completely changed their views: "Don't worry, brothers will protect you, as long as you are willing... Hehe, you understand, there is no way, in this world, there is conscription, and there is livelihood, and you can still pay with the little money you earn from hunting. Not enough to send officials away,"
Tian Lan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "You want money,"
His voice sounds pleasant to the ear, but people who are familiar with him know that he is the most terrifying with this tone. If you are not careful, you may offend him.
