(The first update will be presented first)
On the rugged path, there were trees on both sides, and the two figures ran quickly on the path with vigorous and sharp steps, as fast as galloping horses, but lighter than galloping horses.
"You really don't need my help?" Lieying was still nagging: "You have to know that the three owners of the Kuangsha Water Village are all sword masters, and there are more than ten swordsmen in the Water Village. indivual."
"You are alone, if you break in, you might be dismembered right away." Hunting Ying was not polite at all.
Moreover, Chen Zong also discovered one of her characteristics, love of money, otherwise she would not have to bargain with herself along the way.
But Lieying's love of money is not an unprincipled love of money. She asked to assist Chen Zong in action, and the two joined forces to destroy the Kuangsha Water Village. As for all wealth, they naturally shared it equally.
But Chen Zong refused, only willing to give a piece of golden sword leaf as the guide fee.
If you lead the way, you can get a golden sword leaf, which is also very good.
However, Hunting Shadow is obviously not satisfied.
"If you think it's too little, you can go." Chen Zong responded lukewarmly.
"You..." Lie Ying was very good: "You are cold-faced."
After running for more than ten miles, the hunter's breath began to become uncomfortable, but Chen Zong's breath was still very stable, and his breath was still very smooth.
After running for a few more miles, Hunting Ying couldn't hold on any longer, and sweat kept oozing from his forehead and running down his cheeks, asking for a rest.
On the other hand, Chen Zong was calm and relaxed.
"How do you practice?" Hunting Shadow was very curious, Chen Zong shrugged and said with a smile: "A golden sword leaf."
"It's fine if you don't talk about it." With a snort, Hunting Shadow pretended to be disdainful, but he was actually very curious in his heart. Such amazing physical endurance is very important for a lone traveler.
That means the ability to run and the ability to escape.
Even if the friendship is mediocre, Chen Zong will not point out at will just because the other party is a girl. Any kind of skill, no matter it is simple or advanced, has been explored after a lot of exploration. It should not be passed on lightly.
According to Chen Zong,
Hunting Shadow's physical strength has not yet been developed to the extreme.
After all, this sword-supporting country is a country of ordinary people. In the world of ordinary people, even swordsmen only continue to practice swordsmanship, which will drive the improvement of physical strength, but in the end, they only reach the limit of the human body and cannot go beyond it.
His body has reached its limit, and Hunting Shadow obviously hasn't.
Another point is the control of oneself and the application of power. On this point, Chen Zong also reached the extreme. With the combination of the two, Chen Zong was able to maintain most of his physical strength and endurance after running for more than ten miles continuously.
In this way, high-intensity combat can be maintained for a longer period of time.
Breathe!
Chen Zong's breathing was very steady and long, and there was a strange rhythm that only he could feel. Under this strange breathing rhythm, the exhausted physical strength quickly recovered. Immediately, Chen Zong took out some jerky and ate it .
Although the taste is very ordinary, jerky can better supplement its own consumption.
After eating, rest for a while, and continue on the road after recovering.
This small road will save tens of miles to arrive at the mad shark water village less than taking the big road.
The Wild Shark Water Village is located in a long river, and it specializes in plundering passing ships.
In a world without extraordinary levels of power, there is no secret treasure for storage, and only chariots, horses or ships can be used to transport goods, so bandits are prevalent.
There are cottages and water villages everywhere, occupying hills and so on. Some powerful bandit groups even make the country feel troublesome.
Among the many bandit groups, the Wild Shark Water Village is actually only a small one.
It can only be done in a small city like Hongdong City.
It's not that the City Lord's Mansion in Hongdong City has never sent troops to encircle and suppress, but helplessly, the position of the Kuangsha Water Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are ten swordsmen and three sword master-level masters. After paying many casualties, they still failed to break through the water village.
In desperation, they can only publish a notice and offer a huge reward to see if there is a master who can reveal the list.
There were also people who revealed the list several times before and after, but they all failed, so the bounty increased more and more, until now it is one hundred gold sword leaves.
In the eyes of many people, Chen Zong, who unveiled the list this time, will also follow in the footsteps of those before him.
Next to the long river, directly opposite, is the Kuangsha Water Village, built under a mountain wall hundreds of meters high.
If it is in the world of cultivators, if you can fly, hundreds of meters are nothing, and thousands of meters are nothing.
But in this kind of world, once it falls from a height of hundreds of meters, it is a meatloaf, a situation that must die, even at the extreme level of Chen Zong, it will also die.
As for throwing stones from hundreds of meters high mountain walls, etc., to destroy the water village, this idea has not been mentioned, and some people have tried it, but it is very difficult, because there are many terrifying beasts living on the mountain, attacking Very strong.
In addition, the Wild Shark Water Village also knew this, and had already taken various precautions.
On the shore, Hunting Shadow pointed to the opposite side, at least thousands of meters away, with her eyesight she could only see vague outlines.
"Are you going to sneak in?" Hunting Ying asked, this is normal thinking.
Either attack from the outside, or sneak into it to assassinate.
It is simply unrealistic for two people to attack from the outside, unless they have a force several times that of the water village.
Then there is only one method left, and that is to sneak in secretly and carry out an assassination, but there is a possibility of success.
In fact, the hunting shadow task has been completed, she led the way, but she has not got the golden sword leaf yet, because Chen Zong does not have the golden sword leaf at all, only a few copper sword leaves are left.
Only by completing this mission can he get Jin Jianye's reward.
"Find a small boat." Chen Zong did not answer Lie Ying's words, but ordered, and naturally regarded Lie Ying as his subordinate.
"Hey, hey, I'm not your subordinate." Lie Ying was dissatisfied.
"Add another golden sword leaf." Chen Zongdao.
"If you fail, I won't get anything." Even though he said that, Lie Ying went to find the boat very honestly.
There is no way, the temptation of Jin Jianye is too great, not to mention, if the other party is dead, it is nothing more than wasting some time, it is worth trying.
Soon, Hunting found a small boat, only about two meters long.
"Row the boat, add another golden sword leaf." Chen Zong ordered naturally.
"No." This time, Lie Ying resisted Jin Jianye's temptation and asked her to row a boat to die.
"Five golden sword leaves." Chen Zong raised the price.
"...No..." This time, Hunting Ying had a hard time refusing, struggling.
"Ten." Chen Zong raised the price again.
"...Okay..." When the word "no" came to his lips, it turned into a good word. Lie Ying wished to give himself an ear of melon seeds. Sooner or later, he would die because of money.
But what she thought in her heart was that if something bad happened, she would immediately jump into the water to escape. As a lone traveler, her strength might not be strong enough, but she had mastered many abilities, and it was no problem to cross mountains and rivers.
Chen Zong didn't know the little calculations in Hunting Shadow's heart.
Standing at the bow, Lie Ying sat behind the boat and paddled the oars. There was a slight sound of breaking the water, and layers of ripples kept stirring under the oars. The speed of the boat became faster and faster, and the water surface was cut apart. There are many ripples.
The wind mixed with the moisture of the river was blowing head-on, which made Chen Zong feel refreshed.
"Hey, swordsman, what is your strength?" Hunting Ying suddenly remembered something, it seems that from the beginning until now, he has not asked the opponent's level of strength.
If it's at the sword master level, then even if the two of them join forces, even if they can't complete the task, it should be possible to save their lives.
"I, I don't know." What Chen Zong said was the truth, it was indeed unverified, and he didn't know his own strength. However, Chen Zong would not underestimate others, nor would he underestimate himself.
With his body, application of strength, combat experience, swordsmanship, etc., he will definitely not be weak.
Hunting was suddenly desperate, with a dark future, as if rushing to death.
A few thousand meters is not short, but it is still gradually shortened, and the boat keeps approaching the mad shark water village.
On the water village, there were water bandits standing in the sentry tower and watching, then locked on to Chen Zong and issued a warning.
Soon, a group of water bandits holding crossbow arrows stood at the edge of the water village, lined up, all of them mounted crossbows, and the cold light shone in the sun, flickering endlessly.
stop!
Lie Ying immediately paddled his oars backwards to stop the boat.
At this distance, crossbow arrows are not a threat.
"Swordsman, let's go back." Hunting Ying was terrified, and there was no way not to be afraid. Twenty crossbow arrows fired in a volley, and they were shot directly into a sieve. They couldn't die any more.
"Go ahead." Chen Zong said calmly.
"I don't want to die." Hunting Ying roared: "Even if you give me a hundred golden sword leaves, I won't agree."
But Chen Zong felt that the other party's last sentence seemed a little false.
But the other party said so, but Chen Zong had no intention of forcing her.
Soon, Chen Zong removed a few planks from both sides of the boat. Under the eyes of Hunting, who had no idea what Chen Zong was going to do, Chen Zong seemed to throw a plank forward casually.
The wooden board made an extremely sharp piercing sound, like a sharp arrow leaving a string, causing Hunter Ying's pupils to shrink.
Seemingly thrown randomly, it actually contains amazing power. What kind of body is this, those large beasts?
But what's the use of throwing this board?
It is also impossible to cross hundreds of meters and attack the water bandits on the water village.
In the next scene, both hunting shadows and water bandits all stared wide-eyed, as if they were looking at a fairy.
I saw Chen Zong jumped up, flew out after the wooden plank, and fell.
Like a coincidence, both feet landed on the wooden board, sank slightly, and rushed forward as if riding the wind and waves.
A wooden plank less than half a meter, actually carrying a person sliding forward on the water surface, is simply an unbelievable scene, which makes people think that there is a hallucination.
Gradually, the speed of the board began to decrease.
Chen Zong threw out the second plank and jumped up again. The plank under his feet shattered instantly, sank into the water, and was swept up again by a wave of water.
In this way, Chen Zong quickly approached the water village, within a range of 100 meters.
"Shoot, shoot him to death." A little boss woke up first, reacted quickly, and gave an order immediately.
This is a strong crossbow. Within a hundred meters, it is the right distance. A volley of twenty strong crossbows will definitely penetrate the opponent.
