Chapter 74: Dangerous Jianghu

"what does it mean?"

Xia Houwu asked.

"Hehe, you will know tomorrow. There are still people who regard us as prey. Two little brats who may be rich are just two pieces of fat in this wolf den. Okay, I'm going to sleep. You Wait until I fall asleep and then sleep, I’m snoring like a pig, no, don’t sleep, keep vigil.”

After Xiang Chen finished speaking, he dove into the quilt. He was also very tired today.

"Your sister, I'm just annoyed by people like you who don't speak clearly."

Xia Houwu stood up, put on his clothes, held a war spear in his hand, stood upright, and stood guard in front of the bed, like a soldier standing guard for his brother, with a sharp military aura.

The cold wind outside the wall was as sharp as a knife, and the sound of dreams lingered softly inside the wall. The howling north wind blew the big trees, and the young man also fell into sleep...

On the second day, the red sun rose in the east, and the golden light shone among the mountains of Yaowu Mountains. It penetrated the mountain mist, and the white snow reflected the crystal luster.

Dong dong dong...

At this time, there were knocks on the door.

"Brother Xiang Chen, brother Xiahou, get up. We should set off soon."

Li Lang's voice came from outside the door.

In the room, Xiang Chen had already woken up and was practicing. After Xiang Chen woke up, Xia Houwu fell asleep and was not awake yet.

"I know." Xiang Chen responded. The wind was so loud last night that no one knew about the fighting outside.

"Monkey, wake up."

As soon as Xiang Chen took off the quilt, Xiahou Wu, who was wearing big pants, shivered from the cold and woke up from the cold.

"Ah...it's dawn..." Xia Houwu got up and said drowsily.

"It's almost noon, what do you think?"

The two of them packed up their things, washed themselves and left the room.

In the lobby downstairs, Li Lang and the other five were eating and asked Xiang Chen and Xia Houwu to go down and eat.

After the two paid the rent, they had breakfast with Li Lang and the others, and then prepared to go to Yaowu Mountains together.

As for the dragon colt, it can only be kept temporarily in the stable of the inn.

A group of people hiked toward the Yaowu Mountains amid the lingering mountain mist.

A group of people were running in the snow. Xiang Chen was carrying the Dragon Palace Demon Sword on his back. The speed was relatively slow. Everyone also deliberately slowed down.

"Brother Xiang, I think you are carrying a heavy knife on your back, which affects your speed. Do you want me to help you carry it?"

Li Lang said to Xiang Chen kindly.

"No, thank you Brother Li for your kindness, but this is also a kind of practice for me."

Xiang Chen smiled and declined politely.

"Xiang Chen, I think you should let Brother Li Lang carry it. I think your sword is quite heavy. Don't waste all your energy. Secondly, it will also affect our speed."

Zhao Mang also said.

Xiang Chen frowned and said, "It's not that I won't give it, it's that my sword is ready for life and no one else can touch it."

"How is it possible? I don't believe it."

Zhao Mang smiled.

"If you don't believe me, try it." Xiang Chen smiled strangely.

Zhao Mang actually came to grab the knife after hearing this. However, as soon as his palm grasped the handle of the knife, he screamed.

A strong sword energy cut on his palm, and immediately the palm was dripping with blood, the skin and flesh were blurred, and there were cuts that were deep enough to reach the bone.

Zhao Mang shook hands and screamed in pain, quickly let go, and looked at Xiang Chen's knife in horror.

"What a strong sword spirit."

"What a weird knife. Do you really recognize its owner?"

The expressions of several other people changed slightly when they saw this scene, and a flash of light flashed in Li Lang's eyes. It was definitely a fine sword!

"What's going on with this knife?" Zhao Mang cried out in pain.

"I told you, this knife belongs to its owner. Hey, come on, Brother Zhao, help you bandage it."

Xiang Chen seemed to be ready and took out a piece of gauze to help Zhao Mang bandage his palm.

"What a wonderful knife. Brother Xiang Chen, your knife is not simple. I'm afraid it's worth a lot of money."

Li Lang said as if sighing.

"It's indeed not cheap." Xiang Chen chuckled, but he didn't explain much and bandaged Zhao Mang.

"If you think my brother is slow, you can leave first." Xiahou Wu said.

"That's possible. We are all companions. How can we abandon you? Everyone, please slow down. Anyway, we can enter the mountain before dark today."

Li Lang's attitude was extremely friendly and tolerant.

A group of people gradually moved away from the inhabited area of ​​Lanzhai and entered the mountain road. There were areas growing with miscellaneous trees on both sides. There were many branching paths leading to the endless Demonic Mist Mountains.

They were already entering the mountain forest area, and from time to time they could hear the roar of apes and tigers coming from the mountains in the distance.

"You have to be especially careful in this area. There are often murderers and robbers who rob people who come in and out of the mountains on this section of the road."

Li Lang warned, and a group of people looked at their surroundings vigilantly, while quickly rushing towards the mountains.

Xiang Chen also held the treasured crossbow hidden at his waist under his fur coat with one hand. Xia Houwu held the war spear in one hand and followed Xiang Chen.

This section of the journey was more than twenty miles away, and I didn't encounter any robbers. I passed through safely without any danger. When I looked at it, I saw an endless stretch of deep mountains and ancient forests in front of me.

Trees stretch up to the sky, and there are ancient trees tens of meters high everywhere. The green mountains are steep and mist lingers in the mountains.

"Here, we are about to enter the outskirts of the Demonic Mist Mountains." Xiang Chen stopped and took a deep breath.

"Yes, this is already the outer area. If you go deeper, you are likely to encounter ferocious beasts and monsters. Brother Xiang Chen, we know a mountain forest where there are many precious medicinal materials such as ginseng, goblin, and Polygonum multiflorum. How about Come with us."

Li Lang smiled and further invited us to join him.

"Yes, it is very dangerous for the two of you to act together. There are many evil monsters here. Together, we can resist even if we encounter an innate evil monster."

Sun Zhong and others also said.

"No, thank you for your kindness. We came here with the goal of honing our martial arts, so please just say goodbye."

Xiang Chen refused.

"Alas..." Li Lang sighed and said, "Since the two brothers insist on doing this, we won't persuade them much. You two little brothers, please take care of yourself."

"Brother Li, please take care."

Xiang Chen nodded.

The two sides said goodbye and turned around to go their separate ways. Li Lang's eyes instantly turned cold and he winked at his companions.

The five of them each glanced at each other out of the corner of their eyes, giving off a fierce look, and each of them held their own swords in their hands.

"Kill!" Li Lang's mouth moved.

Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!

The five people turned around instantly, drew out their swords and struck at Xiang Chen and Xia Houwu.

Three swords and two swords flashed with astonishing sharpness.

However, at this time, Xia Houwu and Xiang Chen suddenly and strangely turned around in an instant, and two military crossbows were aimed at the five people who were attacking them.

"not good!"

Li Lang screamed, his heart suddenly turned cold, and he felt the coming of death.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

In an instant, seven or eight consecutive crossbow arrows were fired from the mechanical crossbow box that could hold ten arrows, but they were shot from a distance of only four or five meters...
