Chapter 112 Meet again, Zhao Shanhe(1/2)
[First update, 4,000-word chapter! Please give me a monthly ticket...]
Early in the morning, as soon as Tang Zheng got up, he saw Tang Xiaotang and Tang Zixie standing at his doorstep, wearing leather hunting outfits.
Of course, there were Tang Xuan and Azhi who could not go, watching Tang Zheng and the other ones set off with resentment.
A group of three people rushed to the mouth of the mountain river in the morning mist.
As soon as he saw that Xu Qingyan was wearing a long green gown, carrying a jar of wine, holding a sword, and leaning against a big tree with his eyes closed. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
"Good morning." Tang Zheng breathed the fresh air in the mountains and greeted Xu Qingyan with a smile.
"Good morning." Xu Qingyan responded briefly and followed them with the wine jar.
Tang Zixie handed a questioning look at Tang Xiaotang.
But Tang Xiaotang himself couldn't figure out what was going on, so of course he could only shake his head.
Entering the estuary of Shanhe River is the necessary road to Wuqingshan from Wulong Town.
If you walk along the avenue, you will be Zhaixing Sect all the way up, and instead of walking along the avenue, you will be a vast forest hunting area in Wuqing Mountain.
Wuqingshan has rich medicinal materials and very diverse wild animals. I don’t know how many people have raised to make a living in Wulong Town.
Just after crossing a bridge into the mouth of Shanhe River, there is a row of wooden houses.
As soon as Tang Xiaotang and the others arrived, a big man with a beard all over his face came out of the wooden house in a few steps: "Hey, aren't this Tangniu and Zixie?"
"Uncle Dali!" Tang Xiaotang and Tang Zixie laughed as soon as they saw the big man who came out.
The two of them introduced to Tang Zheng that Zhang Dali was a hunter living at the foot of the mountain and had always been intimate with Tangjiabao. There were several villages nearby that survived by the land of Tangjiabao, and they were also protected by him and his brothers. They helped the village drive away the beasts several times.
Tang Zheng looked at Zhang Dali's straightforward face and nodded lightly. Xu Qingyan simply didn't react at all.
"Are you going to Zhaixing Sect?" Zhang Dali asked, "Or, take a rest here and then set off? Uncle can't compare to Tangjiabao here. There are not many good things, but at least you can eat and drink enough!"
"No, we want to go up the mountain to find the six-eared white mermaid," Tang Xiaotang smiled and declined Zhang Dali's kindness, "We won't disturb us more here."
"Six-eared white mermaid?" Zhang Dali looked up at the deep mountains.
"Does Uncle Dali know where it is?" Tang Zixie asked.
"This... is not very clear." Zhang Dali shook his head, waved his hand again, and smiled, "Since you still have to hurry up, then I'll wait for you to come down the mountain and sit down. If you need anything, you can come down to talk to you at any time."
"Okay." Tang Xiaotang responded with a smile.
After the four of them went up the mountain, they did not walk along the avenue, but quickly deviated from the avenue and entered the forest.
After going a little further, Tang Zhengcai asked: "That Zhang Dali, are you very familiar with?"
Tang Xiaotang shook his head: "We often buy some fur from him, so we have had several deals."
"A few encounters? He is quite enthusiastic..." Tang Zheng looked at the direction at the foot of the mountain meaningfully and smiled.
"Well, Uncle Dali is an enthusiastic person." Tang Xiaotang said with a smile.
Tang Zheng said "um" and said nothing more.
The mountain road is getting harder to walk. But the sun shines through the gaps in the woods, which is very beautiful.
Tang Xiaotang and Tang Zixie are both physically practicing martial arts all year round. Although they are a little tired, they are not unable to hold on at all. But when they look back at Xu Qingyan, they seem to have no tired expression at all.
"I am worthy of being a three-star warrior." Tang Xiaotang stuck out his tongue at Tang Zixie.
"Look at Master..." Tang Zixie whispered to Tang Xiaotang, their Master also had no blushing face or heartbeat.
Tang Zheng often stopped. The sword dagger was inserted into the scabbard, and he bit it in his mouth without sheath, and then climbed up to the treetops to see the road. From time to time, he would stop to see nearby branches or look at the soil on the ground.
Tang Xiaotang asked subconsciously: "Are you looking for traces of the six-eared white mermaid? Are there any traces of their hooves trampling?"
"..." Tang Zheng looked at Tang Xiaotang deeply, "I don't even know what the face of the six-eared white mermaid looks like, can I still know what their hooves look like?"
Xu Qingyan held the sword, raised his head, and looked at Tang Zheng unexpectedly.
They walked for a long time, not looking for the six-eared white mermaid, what were they looking for?
Tang Zheng looked at the three of them and immediately knew that they had no experience at all: "As such a big forest, the first thing he did after coming in was definitely not to look for deer, right?"
All three of them looked like "why can't you?"
Tang Zheng felt that the whole thing was impossible to communicate: "What do you think should be found? One person is responsible for the whole group, act separately, and search the net? Everyone will find ten days and a half months before coming back?"
Although none of the three of them shook their heads, it really didn't sound very reliable...
"Not to mention whether you can find this way. Such a large mountain forest, do you know where there are nests of ferocious beasts, where are the swamps to avoid, and which area has negative maps... Cough, I mean miasma, poisonous fog, dangerous bee swarms, etc.," Tang Zheng shook his hand and continued, "What is most afraid of when hunting is urgent. Entering the mountain forest, no matter how strange the purpose is, the first step is definitely the same - safe."
"Yeah." Tang Xiaotang and Tang Zixie nodded quickly.
"Then, what are you looking for?" Xu Qingyan nodded thoughtfully and asked Tang Zhengdao.
"Look for someone! Look... the traces left by the old hunter!" Tang Zheng casually broke off a branch that had been cut off by a knife at the end and pointed to the front, "Go here!"
When I first entered Wuqing Mountain, there was no small map to use. Tang Zheng was not a god. How could he know which road was safe?
Of course, only other hunters who are more familiar with this forest can walk on the safe road!
Tang Xiaotang and Tang Zixie followed Tang Zheng very seriously, how to identify the incisions of branches and the walking directions of their predecessors, how to observe the details of the remains of the bonfire, the traces of the tent on the bark, etc....
Xu Qingyan fell behind alone, keeping aware of the surrounding environment at any time.
It took me about half an hour to walk. Sure enough, there were a burst of conversation not far ahead!
Someone!
Tang Xiaotang was about to go forward to ask for directions, but Tang Zheng immediately reached out to stop Tang Xiaotang and the others.
"The rules of the game. If you go up without saying a word, you will go up directly. By default, you will go to steal monsters. The opponent can directly slaughter the red slaughter. The rules in the jungle should be similar." As he said that, Tang Zheng took a two-step back and raised his voice and asked, "Who is the one in front of Tangjiabao Tang Zheng? Are they enemies or friends?"
This is not Wulong Town, nor is it a place where Tangjiabao covers the sky with one hand.
If you are close to Tangjiabao, you can ask for directions, but if it is an enemy, the two sides will automatically separate.
Hearing Tang Zheng's voice, the conversation over there stopped.
Xu Qingyan sneered: "Have you hunted before?"
"That's! Ten years of hunting experience, powerful assassin, can fight, resist, and attract monsters. I'm good at all, and I'm cheap..." Tang Zhengshun said, which was a piece of information about trying to form a team in his previous life.
"Haha." Xu Qingyan said to himself silently in his heart, "I don't understand. But this is just a joke, concealing his origin... Be cautious!"
Tang Zheng did not look at him at all, but stared quietly ahead.
Whether to continue moving forward or changing the path depends on the other party’s answer!
...
In the dense forest not far away, a group of strong-body and delicate-faced men all held their weapons tightly, and they rose up the astrological signs and were ready to fight at any time.
There are indeed no rules in the jungle. But if someone comes up directly without saying hello, most of them are enemies, not friends. Any hunter's reaction will be, killing them will be fine!
However, after hearing Tang Zheng's voice, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed a little.
"Tang Zheng? Tang Zheng!" One of the shorter men's eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother Zhao! Isn't he... that medulla-repulsive pill..."
"Yes." The leading man from the Zhao family nodded.
On that day, he returned from hunting pythons and was robbed of the python skin by Yinlan Villa. Most of the brothers were injured, and he was even more seriously injured and died.
If Tang Zheng hadn't happened to be doing a purchasing agent in Jubao Pavilion, he would have received life-saving medulla pill from the Jubao Pavilion cabinet, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Not only will his brother suffer a lot from the future, but his beautiful wife, who was born in the Yaoshan tribe, could not protect herself!
"Put down the weapons and go over and take a look." The man from the Zhao family carried a big axe behind him without saying a word. There was no expression on his rock-solid face.
When Tang Xiaotang and the others saw that Tang Zheng had just announced his name, there was a movement on the other side, and there seemed to be a large number of people, they felt a little nervous.
However, when the other party approached them, he immediately returned his name: "West Street in Wulong Town, the second son of the Zhao family, Zhao Shanhe!"
Zhao Shanhe was tall and tall, with a cold face, stood firm and straight.
Tang Zheng looked up and down at the man: "Your name is Zhao Shanhe?"
"That's right." Zhao Shanhe nodded.
"Are you... completely healthy?" Tang Xiaotang of course remembered that the medulla-repelling pill bought by this man's wife was the first item they sold in social practice.
"Okay. And the strength has improved greatly, it has been nearly three stars." Zhao Shanhe replied.
The medulla oblongata pill is a very special pill, which is useful for people who are seriously injured and dying. After taking it, only 30% of people can survive, and 70% of people will die.
However, 30% of the survival will definitely improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.
"This Wuqing Mountain is full of dangers. Why did Mr. Tang take risks when he enters the mountain?" Zhao Shanhe did not exchange any greetings and asked straight to the point.
"There is something wrong with my life palace. I urgently need a monster inner alchemy." Tang Zheng didn't say it was too specific, but he still reported the monster's name, "That kind of monster is the six-eared white mermaid!"
"Six-eared White Merlot? That is a two-star middle-level monster. Usually no one will cause trouble for them. I just heard of it a little and have never seen it with my own eyes."
"Don't you know where they are?" Tang Xiaotang asked anxiously.
Zhao Shanhe shook his head, took a bag from his body, and spread it out directly in front of Tang Zheng without saying a word.
There were a lot of things in Zhao Shanhe’s bag, including various animal skins, ores, and even some medicinal materials, all presented to Tang Zheng and the others.
"If you don't have to be the inner elixir of the six-eared white mermaid, you can see if there are any replacements and take them yourself." Zhao Shanhe spoke very directly, "The mountain is dangerous, so you'd better go down the mountain as soon as possible."
