Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

  Chapter 245 [Night Talk in the Wilderness by the Roadside]

   "Oh, Ant Hill, the name is very strange."

  Fang Chang said lightly, then quickened his pace and walked towards the distance.

  Sang Ziping's feet also became faster, and the relative positions of the two did not change. He said to the other party:

   "The reason for this name is that there are many ants on the mountain. The ant mountain is barren and dry, with sparse vegetation and few people. However, there are many wild animals and the products are average."

  It was already past noon. As the saying goes, "Watching the mountain runs away to a dead horse", although they have clearly seen the ant hill here, they still have a long way to go to the foot of the mountain.

   "It is estimated that we will be able to reach Ant Mountain at noon tomorrow. We may go into the mountain to have a look." Fang Chang said.

  Then the two of them hurried on their way in silence.

  From here, the terrain has become flatter, and there are more pedestrians and vehicles on the official road, and there is an endless stream of goods merchants and passers-by. Therefore, in order not to be too conspicuous, the two of them only used part of their strength to travel faster than ordinary people, and their speed was only similar to that of a nasty horse.

  This leads to opportunities for them to be accompanied by pedestrians around them.

   People on the road often like to go together, mainly to chat with each other to relieve loneliness and relieve fatigue. Partnering is also very simple. After someone chats with each other at the beginning, the feet will naturally move forward at the same rhythm. As long as they bring enough water, or can easily find a drinking water point on the side of the road, pedestrians often like to keep their mouths open.

  Although Fang Chang and Sang Ziping walked very fast, it was hard to refuse when the people next to them came up to talk, so they slowed down and walked with them according to the established rules. Although Fang Chang is dressed in white and carries a sword, he has an aura that makes people feel close, so no one is afraid of him.

  Pedestrians often speak with a Guanzhong accent, their tone is bleak and simple, and their faces are simple and honest.

  Although this group of people are all walking along the official road, their identities are very different. It is hard to believe that they can have a common topic. However, they still chatted enthusiastically. Farmers talked about harvests, craftsmen talked about craftsmanship, rangers talked about Jianghu affairs, and scholars talked about knowledge.

  Fang Chang and Sang Ziping only pretended to be two traveling scholars and mingled among them. With their extensive knowledge, no one saw through.

   There are not too few villages and towns along the way, but they are often some distance away from the official road.

  At night, the place where they sleep is in the lee of a nearly vertical soil **** in the wilderness—this place is considered to be in the middle of the pass, and there is no shortage of such scenery.

   This place is often chosen by pedestrians, and it is very lively.

  There are nearby villagers occupying this place, who have prepared firewood, simple meals, and clean drinking water, and sell them here, but not according to the quantity, but according to the head. It is even easier to use firewood. As long as you pay the head fee, you can rest here and enjoy the bonfire.

  He came with Fang Chang and Sang Ziping, and people who often walked this way told them that the bonfire was looked after and could burn until dawn.

  In the wild, there is such a pile of bonfires, which are very useful. In wet weather you can toast your boots, keep your feet in shape, warm up your carry-on food, and get some boiling water from a large kettle over a campfire. Not to mention that with this pile of bonfires, mosquitoes will not come, and wild animals will stay far away.

  The only thing that makes everyone more worried is the safety issue. Fortunately, although the folk customs here are simple but aggressive, weapons are more common.

  Nowadays, the world is a bit chaotic, and the world is gradually becoming less peaceful. Bandit bandits are common, and everyone is not afraid of them, but the threat in the dark is not only people, but also—

   "Is there a monster here?"

   Hearing the complaints from the people next to him, Fang Chang asked.

   The person who said this was an elderly businessman. He was carrying a package that was not small but not heavy, and he carried a heavy one-handed knife on his waist. The scabbard is made of ebony, with three thin copper rings tightly bound in the middle. There is a handguard on the hilt, and then a tightly wrapped rope. Visible scuffs and scratches from the years.

  Hearing Fang Chang's question, he leaned **** his big package to make himself more comfortable, then pulled the scabbard beside him and put it across his leg, Fang Chang said:

   "You two are from other places, right? It seems that you don't know what's going on here."

   "We came from a study tour in the Central Plains."

  The peddler clapped his hands and laughed, with a little excitement of being noticed:

"It turned out to be two gentlemen, disrespectful and disrespectful, from which it turns out that the blame has to be clear about the situation here. Of course there are monsters in this area, and there are quite a few. Moreover, monsters are much more terrifying than bandits. Bandits are also humans. Although they are more vicious, they are not like the army. If you will form an formation, your skills will definitely not be as good as mine."

"So, if you really want to meet thieves, there are so many people here, the outcome is unknown, maybe you can catch a few in exchange for some rewards and bonuses. But monsters are different, either they are invulnerable, or they are super sensitive, or they are unstoppable spells. , although I haven't seen it, but it is estimated that we here are the only ones who will be killed if they encounter it."

  Sang Ziping asked curiously: "Since I haven't seen it before, how do you know there must be monsters here?"

  Xingshang took out a nut from his bag, wiped it casually and gnawed on it, and said unhurriedly:

"Over the years, monsters have done a lot of evil. Occasionally, some villages and towns have been murdered and completely wiped out, leaving nothing behind. But if you ask me how I know that monsters did it, it was the first town to suffer , was rescued by an expert, and was not wiped out like those later."

   Paused for a while, seeing Fang Chang and Sang Ziping looking at him, and people surrounding him, he was instantly addicted to being a teacher, took a bite of the thick fruit, and said:

"It is said that an army of monsters came that time, and the leader was a strange monster with a sharp mouth and thin body wearing thick scale armor...Of course, the sharp mouth and thin body is just a description. The leader of the monster is huge, like a house. Yes. When they arrive in the town, they start killing and stealing money, doing all kinds of evil."

"It turned out that the people in that town were lucky and fateful, and a sword fairy passing by happened to meet him, and with a golden sword, he chopped off half of the monsters with a single sword, scaring those wolves, pigs, sheep, etc. The dreadful monsters who lost their helmets and armor, fled and fled, and never dared to invade that town again."

"The townspeople also built a small temple for the fairy, and spread the praises everywhere. According to rumors, the corpses of the monsters who were cut in two were buried under the small temple, but there is no definite statement. But there must be monsters Yes, the credibility of this matter is extremely high, after all, there is no benefit to the people there, so there is no need to fake it, right?"

  Fang Chang nodded, leaned forward, and asked, "From what you said, the town is nearby?"

   Friendship recommends this new book "We Wild Monsters Don't Want to Die": Traveling to become a black dragon, only to find that the world is full of players. In order not to be overthrown by the players, the protagonist gathers wild monsters to create the strongest copy.
