…
Outland!
Since ancient times, it has been an area that human beings yearn for and hold in great awe, and it is also a place praised and talked about by countless people.
it's here.
Even an ordinary casual cultivator may get rich overnight, and if he is lucky, he will get wealth that cannot be spent in a lifetime.
it's here.
Even a strong person in the Heaven-Human Realm may unfortunately fall, leaving no bones left.
In Outland, there is no absolute security.
Therefore, as soon as he stepped into the outer domain, Wang Shouzhe ordered everyone to be vigilant, and put on leather armor made of third-grade crocodile leather.
This kind of leather armor is difficult to cut through with ordinary swords, and it is not very heavy. Its combat effectiveness is relatively cost-effective.
At the same time, the four players with stronger strength will go first, and they are distributed in the front of the team in a fan shape.
This is an outpost.
The role of the outpost is to clear the way and discover any possible enemy situation such as fierce beasts and beasts in advance. Once they observe the enemy's situation, they will not fight the enemy, but will issue different sounding arrows according to the situation, and retreat immediately while warning.
In this way, the main force in the middle has advanced preparation and sufficient reaction time.
In addition, there are three weaker players who will act as guards. They are scattered behind the main team, side rear, to prevent fierce beasts or enemies from attacking from the rear.
They are usually very vigilant and keep their eyes open.
If the manpower is relatively sufficient, flank guards can also be arranged.
However, the Wang family is short of manpower and the team is relatively small, so everything is kept simple.
In the main team, there are a total of ten carriages.
These carriages were all replaced by Wang Shouzhe's heavy-duty draft horses from the North Land. This kind of draft horses have very strong endurance and pulling force, and they are well-trained and courageous, so they will not fall into a state of panic and confusion when they encounter fierce beasts. .
In the carriage, except for the ancestor.
The rest are loaded with various materials.
Such as spare weapons and equipment, arrow consumables, fishing nets, tents, ropes, quilts, clothing, water, common food, white jade spirit rice, oil, pots and pans, and even many kinds of pills, etc. There's even plenty of smokeless charcoal and more.
The whole autumn and winter hunting usually lasts about 15 days to about a month, and the consumption of people eating horse chews is a huge figure. During this process, the weather will gradually become cooler, and various materials to keep out the cold are inevitable.
This made Wang Shouzhe sigh with emotion. In his previous life, he read fantasy novels, and when people went out to hunt wild monsters, they all traveled light and unrestrained.
Why did he come to his place? Going out to play in the wild is like moving house, even bringing a few baskets of pots and pans.
As for things like storage bracelets, there are some in this world.
But the lowest-level storage space bracelet is only one cubic meter, and it is also a spiritual weapon level!
Wang's small family can't afford that kind of high-end goods.
What's more, one or two storage bracelets are not very useful in team battles.
A group of juniors represented by Wang Luoqiu and Wang Luojing, as well as girls such as Wang Lici, participated in the autumn and winter hunting activities for the first time.
They were extraordinarily excited, as if they felt that they were out of the foreign land, and there were monsters all over the place to beat them, and they were already gearing up for a big fight.
Unfortunately!
They think too much.
How vast is Outland, if the land is full of ferocious beasts, can human beings survive
Not to mention ferocious beasts, in fact, even ordinary carnivorous beasts occupy a lot of territory. Moreover, this place is the outskirts of the Outer Domain, which has been mopped up by humans for countless times, and it is not easy to find a group of coyotes to come out.
But even so, the team is still very cautious.
Again, anything can happen in Outland.
Perhaps as they walked, a ferocious beast of the fourth rank or even the fifth rank suddenly appeared. Of course, the probability of this is extremely low.
"Shou Zhe!" Wang Shouxin, who was also fully armed, rode over on a horse. He was over forty years old, and he had been to Outland many times, so he knew his way.
He held a map and said to Wang Shouzhe: "According to the plan drawn up before departure, we need to arrive at the Tupo campsite before Shen Shichu. The team is currently moving at a slow pace."
Shen time is about three to five o'clock in the afternoon, and Wang Shouxin means that he needs to arrive at the campsite before three o'clock.
And the team needs to settle down while the sky is still bright. Otherwise, once it gets dark and the camp is not set up, it will not only be dangerous, but also cause low morale and so on.
That's right, although human beings don't have a place to inhabit and reproduce in Outland.
However, the ancestors would naturally open up simple stronghold camps on favorable terrain according to the terrain. After generations of operation and reinforcement, those strongholds are more or less defensive.
Moreover, it is absolutely impossible for any family to run around like a headless chicken when they go to Outland. The course of action, combat plan, and materials that need to be carried all need to be accurately calculated and discussed repeatedly.
"Send the order, the whole team speed up." Wang Shouzhe ordered to speed up.
The speed of the entire team has been slightly increased. It's just that the road ahead will become more and more difficult.
Those roads that were originally traveled will be covered with weeds over time, or a lot of plants will pop up, or the simple routes will be washed away after the flood.
When you encounter some stones and plants blocking the way, you have to clean them up.
The reason for coming to Outland at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter naturally contained the accumulated experience of generations of ancestors. From spring to early summer, there are likely to be continuous rainy seasons. If not done well, flash floods will occur and various dangers will appear.
Even if there is no flash flood, the mountains are winding and the dirt roads are muddy. Once there is too much rain, even the road is difficult to walk.
But the summer is too hot, no matter if it is wild beasts or ferocious beasts, they don't like to move very much. It is also very inappropriate for humans to hunt on roads in this temperature and environment.
As for winter, not only is food scarce, but prey are hidden in winter, and it is more prone to phenomena such as heavy snow blocking mountains.
After autumn, the climate is dry, and vines and other plants wither. Some wild melons, fruits and seed plants have already produced fruit.
The maturity of a large amount of food will attract many animals to eat and store fat, or even store food to enter the winter state. And some wild beasts and fierce beasts will also enter the active hunting stage, hoarding energy to survive the winter.
Therefore, only this season is the most suitable for entering Outland for hunting.
Swaying all the way, without stopping. The road is bumpy, difficult, and even boring.
Occasionally, someone's horse's foot will be given away, and only a spare horse can be replaced. Fortunately, Wang Shouzhe was there, and quietly healed the horse's feet to avoid running out of horses in the future.
After walking for several hours in a row, the road became more and more difficult.
There was also a scene where a huge boulder of seven or eight tons blocked the way and had to work together to pry it away.
Wang Luoqiu and Wang Luojing, who were gearing up to kill the beast, began to list down.
Listen to what the fourth brother said nicely, Luo Qiu, Luo Jing, the fourth brother will take you to the outer domain to fight fierce beasts, and there will be meat to eat.
The results of it
After walking for a long time, I didn't even see a beast. I only saw some small animals and birds. They ran away when they saw people from a distance, and their reaction was faster than Wang Luoqiu's.
"Luo Qiu, the road to a queen begins with a single step." Wang Shouzhe said comfortingly, "Maybe as we walk, a fifth-order fierce beast that doesn't open its eyes will be bumped to death at the foot of the mountain?"
"Fourth brother, you can only keep your words and go back to coax Luo Miao." Wang Luoqiu rolled his eyes, and then yelled at Wang Lici, "Niece, aren't you especially good at finding delicious food? Why haven't you said anything for a long time? "
"Wang Luoqiu, I'm the eldest sister. You have to be patient!" Wang Lici's strength has increased rapidly now, and with the assistance of Longyan Patriarch, he is rapidly advancing to the fourth level of Qi Refining Realm.
But Wang Luoqiu is obviously not easy to mess with, she is keen on all the work that can increase the merit value, and she does a good job. With the blessing of resources, his cultivation has also soared. From the original second-level Qi Refining Realm, it took only half a year to reach the second-level high-level.
Just when the two girls had no strength to use and were about to start a fight, Wang Shouzhe gave each of them a volley chestnut: "Be quiet, otherwise, the contribution value will be deducted, and the rations will be deducted." .”
As soon as this threat came out, the two were instantly cute.
These people all have weaknesses, and it's easy for Wang Shouzhe to deal with them.
The rest of the way is still calm and quiet. At the beginning of Shen Shi, the team arrived at the planned Tupo stronghold.
It was a very crude stronghold, and rows of large wooden stakes formed a simple fence. But the height of the stronghold is good, there are no shelters around, the field of vision is wide, and there is a clear stream not far away to replenish the water source.
Some older clansmen, Wang Shouxin, Wang Shouyi, and even the elders Wang Dinghai, Wang Dingzu, began to clean up the camp with the generals very skillfully.
Wang Shouzhe, Wang Shounuo, Wang Zongwei, Shouyong, Shoulian and other young people also joined in the labor and learned how to set up camps from their elders and brothers. After Wang Luotong also joined the construction team, several little girls also began to join in and learn about the camp.
The weeds were cleared, the site was cleaned and leveled, firewood was collected nearby, the dilapidated fences were reinforced, tents were erected and reinforced, and clean water was collected.
Even the location of the tent and whoever puts the tent there are quite particular about the regulations.
These tasks and inheritances have been taught from generation to generation, and even Wang Shouzhe has followed suit. In Outland, you must have the skills to survive in Outland.
As the sky darkened, a large bonfire and several small bonfires were lit up, and then they began to bury pots and cook food, and the atmosphere became more joyful.
Afterwards, there was another shift at night.
There was nothing to say all night, until the sky was dark.
At this time, the camp was dismantled, the tents were tidied up, and all the living supplies were packed away. It was not until dawn at the beginning of Chen that the work of clearing up the camp was finished.
Then began to take it easy, according to the plan and the map, and rushed to the next stronghold.
In this way, after walking for three days.
Only then did everyone reach the edge of the real outer domain, where some ferocious beasts had gradually begun to appear.
In previous years, the Wang family basically came here, and did not go deep into the outer domain. Instead, they stationed at the stronghold, carried out raids nearby, hunted some large beasts, or a few ferocious beasts, and then began to head back home.
There is no way, if you go deeper, without the protection of the ancestors. Once encountering a powerful beast, it is very likely to cause casualties to the team.
the next day.
In a seemingly inconspicuous tent, a group of characters dressed as coachmen gathered here. However, if this group of people is thrown out casually, they are terrifying existences that can scare people to death.
And Wang Shouzhe just sat among them leisurely.
One of the thin men, wrapped in a ragged sheepskin jacket and a felt hat on his head, curled up like a downcast old man, complained slightly: "Shouzhe, will your information be wrong? I think the Liu and Zhao clans have long been scared out of their wits by you, how dare they make an attack?"
But Wang Shouzhe smiled confidently, cupped his hands and said to him: "Patriarch Mingsheng, please be safe and don't be impatient. Although Shouzhe is not 100% sure, he is 90% sure. I have been at home for a long time, and I have already put their The anger has reached the extreme. Now that I have finally found an opportunity, I will definitely do it."
"Shou Zhe is right. They must do something. If they miss this time, the Liu and Zhao clans will never be able to turn around." Another strong man driving the car said, "Wouldn't it be better if they didn't show up? In this way, Ancestor Mingsheng, you will have a thousand gold in your account after walking around, isn't it wonderful?"
"Gongsun Shu, my great-grandson is not looking out for Qian's face, he is the direct blood of my Lu family's daughter Lu Mengxue." Ming Sheng Patriarch said bitterly.
He said the words "bloodline of direct relatives" very emphatically, as if he was emphasizing something.
Gongsun Shu chuckled and said, "Although that's the case, Shou Zhe is now the direct son of my granddaughter Gongsun Hui, and also the direct great-grandson of my granddaughter Gongsun Hui."
In fact, the Lu family and the Gongsun family did not have any conflicts, but regarding the matter of Wang Shouzhe, the two patriarchs seemed to be a little emotional and conflicted. There have been discussions recently, and no one is convinced.
To blame is to blame Wang Shouzhe for being too good, the two ancestors couldn't help but want to take the title of great-grandfather.
Wang Shouzhe broke into a cold sweat, it was his lack of thoughtfulness. Old Ancestor Wu and Ancestor Mingsheng shouldn't be put together, but Old Ancestor is jealous of him, who would have thought that
"Lu Mingsheng, Gongsun Shu, you all should be quiet." Another old man dressed more "dedicated" said, "Don't disturb the old man to close your eyes and rest."
As soon as this remark came out, both of them became honest.
There is no way, this Confucian ancestor is not only the oldest, but also a peak person in the middle stage of Lingtai, so they are naturally convinced.
At this time, another old man said weakly: "Brother Shouzhe, I have good agility, or should I go to find out information?"
Of course this is brother Zhong Xingwang.
He ran back after selling the elixir, and when he heard that Mrs. Wang was going to hunt in autumn and winter, he would not go until today.
Wang Shouzhe was just waiting to answer.
Suddenly!
Ancestor Confucianism opened his eyes, and said calmly: "Here we come, Shouzhe, go and fight. All foreign aid is entrusted to us."
Almost at the same time.
Not far from the camp, a maniac-sounding laugh came from: "Wang Shouzhe, you are already surrounded, get out and lead me to death!"
That was Liu Shengye's voice, how could he not be angry
The Liu and Zhao clans had a great situation and a bright future, but Wang Shouzhe ruined it all.
"Uh... the patriarchs take a break." Wang Shouzhe said with a chuckle, "Shouzhe goes out to lead the death first."
