Chapter 67: Lanzhai

"Gouzi, I'm back."

Before anyone could enter the door, Xia Houwu's loud voice could be heard.

Outside the courtyard gate, Xia Houwu led two tall dragon colts to Xiang Chen's courtyard.

"Have you asked for leave with your father?" Xiang Chen asked as he went out.

"Well, please, I also brought the dragon colts. Hehe, these two are the two best dragon colts in our military camp, Zhui Feng and Lightning."

Xia Houwu smiled.

These two dragon colts are indeed extremely handsome, much taller and stronger than ordinary dragon colts.

"Damn it, bitch, where did you get the knife? It's so big and so domineering."

Xia Houwu also noticed the huge Dragon Palace Demon Sword carried on Xiang Chen's back. He walked over and reached out to take it.

"Don't move!" Xiang Chen shouted quickly, but Xia Houwu had already grasped Xiang Chen's Dragon Palace Demon Sword.

"ah……"

Xiahou Wu cried out in pain, and a wisp of sharp sword energy overflowed from the Longque Demon Sword, breaking his palm and causing blood to flow out.

"What kind of knife is this? It's so sharp that it hurts me even if I grab the handle."

Xia Houwu was surprised.

"I told you not to move. This sword of mine is called Dragon Fault. It will recognize its owner."

Xiang Chen glanced at him and said.

"Tch, you still recognize the owner, how can it be so magical? Do you think you are a spiritual weapon? Okay, I brought the horse, and I also brought a lot of dry food. We can set off to the Yaowu Mountains."

Xia Houwu wiped the blood from his hands, and Xiang Chen briefly bandaged him.

"Young Master, let me go with you. The Demonic Mist Mountains are full of dangers, and there are monsters and ferocious beasts everywhere." Zhao Mu came over and said.

"No, this time we went to the Yaowu Mountains just for practice. Uncle Mu, please keep it at home. We can only wander around the outer mountains at most, and we won't go deep."

Xiang Chen smiled.

"This... well, in that case, the young master must be more careful."

Zhao Mu could only obey Xiang Chen's orders.

"Don't worry, I have brought two military weapons. Ordinary monsters will die if they encounter us."

Xia Houwu smiled.

"What kind of military weapon is this?" Xiang Chen became interested.

"Hey, look." A crossbow appeared in Xiahou Wu's hand. This crossbow was also engraved with runes and shimmered with treasure.

"Bao crossbow!" Xiang Chen said in surprise. This is a good treasure. It is only used by the military and is prohibited from being circulated among the people. Even if you have money, you may not be able to get it.

"That's right, this thing can break through the body-protecting aura of those who are strong in the innate realm. It's so powerful. I got two of them. Gouzi, I'll give this one to you. There are still thirty in this quiver. A talisman arrow."

Xia Houwu threw this treasured crossbow to Xiang Chen.

Xiang Chen took it and played with it for a while. The power of this thing was amazing, comparable to the sniper rifle in his previous life.

However, the cost is also astonishing, and the production method is unknown. It is something that only the most elite crossbowmen of Dashang can use.

Xiang Chen has played in Prince Xiang's Mansion before, and it's not surprising that Xia Houwu's background can get such a treasure.

"Thank you." Xiang Chen accepted it and hung it on the back of his waist. Now he can't use the silver sky jade belt. If he wants to use the silver sky jade belt, he must have true energy.

He always asked Zhao Mu to help him get things out of it.

"Let's go, get to the Yaowu Mountains before dark."

Xiang Chen said.

He struggled to carry the Dragon Fault Demon Sword on his back and got on the Dragon Colt Horse. This Dragon Colt Horse carried a very strong gravity and could run wildly with two to three thousand kilograms of stuff on its back. It was no problem to carry Xiang Chen's weight on its back.

The two got on their horses and were ready to leave.

"Young Master, be careful."

"Sir, I'll wait for you to come back." Zhao Mu and Man He greeted.

"Don't worry, I will come back safely. Let's go!"

Xiang Chen waved his hand and pinched the horse's belly. The dragon colt hissed loudly and raised its front hooves high. Xiang Chen grabbed the reins and the dragon colt galloped forward with all four hooves.

The two rode the dragon colt and galloped out of Xia's house. As soon as they left the gate of Xia's house, they came to the street and galloped towards the north gate.

The dragon's horse's speed is indeed astonishing. It can reach at least more than two hundred kilometers per hour when it is soaring. A strong person in the innate realm may not be able to catch up even if he just steps forward.

After all, it is a monster-trained riding spirit beast, and its speed cannot be compared with that of ordinary mortal horses.

The Yaowu Mountain Range is more than 400 kilometers away from the capital of Dashang, and it takes more than two hours for Longju to run at his fastest speed.

The Demonic Mist Mountain Range is a vast area with hundreds of thousands of wild mountains and wild forests. Wherever there is a restricted area for the human race, there are powerful demons in the depths of the Demonic Mist Mountain Range.

There are also many good things in the Demonic Mist Mountains, including precious medicinal materials, ores, and even elixirs. There is never a shortage of adventurers to hunt for treasures.

And there are countless human true martial monks who die in the Demonic Mist Mountains every year.

The two of them galloped wildly on their horses, boasting at every turn, and ran wildly along the avenue after leaving the city gate.

It is winter, and the outside is completely white. Pedestrians are rushing to and fro on the avenue, and there are many caravans coming in and out. On both sides are rice, winter wheat and other crops planted, and there are many rural houses.

After Long Ju ran for more than a hundred kilometers, it was almost impossible to see any human habitation on the road, and he would occasionally pass by some villages.

After the dragon horse galloped for more than 300 kilometers, in the distance, on the horizon, one could already see endless stretches of desolate forest and mountain peaks.

Those mountain ranges are surrounded by hazy white mist, which looks extremely mysterious.

The Demonic Mist Mountains can already be seen.

Soon after, the two came to a village called Lan Village. It was the last village close to the Yaowu Mountains. It was only a few dozen miles away from the Yaowu Mountains. If you went deeper, there would be no human habitation.

The two of them also descended in front of Lanzhai. Xiahou Wu said: "This is the last village. It's called Lanzhai. Let's stop our horses here and find an inn for Longju to rest. The roads in the mountains are not suitable for driving." Climb the dragon colt, and then we’ll hike into the mountain.”

Xiahou Wu often ran around during the march, so he was more experienced than Xiang Chen.

"Well, I'm tired after running around with such a big knife for so long. I'll rest for a night. I'll go into the mountains tomorrow. It'll be dark too."

Xiang Chen had no objection, and the two of them slowly rode into Lanzhai.

The architectural style of Lanzhai is basically houses built of rough stone bricks. Although they are not very good-looking, they are very defensive and give people a sense of wilderness.

The village was very lively, with many people wearing animal skin armor coming and going, and there were taverns and inns everywhere.

"Gouzi, you have to be careful when you come here. Although this Lanzhai is not big, it is very famous. The people here are fierce, almost everyone practices martial arts, and there are many adventurers, mercenaries, and even fugitives from the great merchants gathered here. , there are people from all three religions and nine streams.”

Xia Houwu reminded.

"Have you been here?" Xiang Chen asked curiously.

"I've never been here, but I've heard some military veterans talk about this place. Murder and robbery are extremely common here." Xia Houwu said.

At this moment, the crowd on the street suddenly rioted...
