Luyang Mountain
The next day.
It was about three o'clock in the morning, the sky was still dark, and there was still silence inside and outside Luyang City.
Ye Fan got up quickly, washed up, and carried a simple package that he had prepared a long time ago. It contained a boxing glove, a few clothes, herbs for bruises and a few days of dry food, and went out with an iron lock. Lock the courtyard door.
He hurried to the south gate of the city.
Yesterday, Senior Brother Gu Hanjian said that he would leave at dawn and not wait. He was worried that he would be late, so he wanted to get to the meeting point earlier.
A moment later, Ye Fan appeared in the south of Luyang City. He arrived very early, but found that someone was already there.
Gu Hanjian stood outside the city gate, seeming to be practicing some inner secret. He carried nothing but a heavy sword on his back.
"Senior Brother Gu!"
Ye Fan saluted.
"Um!"
Gu Hanjian nodded lightly and continued to immerse himself in cultivation.
Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, Ye Fan knew that Gu Hanjian was a bit cold and unkind. He found a clean stone nearby to sit down, ate dry food, and waited for the arrival of others.
Ye Fan was very surprised while observing Gu Hanjian. While waiting for others, Gu Hanjian was still practicing, as if he had nothing else to do but practice.
In half an hour, Ao Lie rushed to the south gate with a small package.
"Ye Fan, you came so early!"
"morning!"
"By the way, where is your big gray?"
Ao Lie was a little surprised.
There was a little green wolf cub next to Ao Lie, jumping around and following Ao Lie, looking around from time to time, grinning hoarsely.
Ao Lie is a beast-taming apprentice and has already begun to tame fighting beasts. This green wolf cub, which is just half a month old, was given to him by his master, Wei Shou, the president of the Beast-taming Guild.
The green wolf's growth cycle is relatively fast, and it can quickly form a ferocious beast-level combat capability within a few years.
"It's inside."
Ye Fan smiled and flashed a beast control ring on his finger.
Mammoth cub Da Hui has a larger body and is very powerful. Ordinary mud-walled houses are simply not big enough for its mammoth tusks. It is easy to cause damage in Luyang City. It can destroy the neighbor's house with just a few random runs. The house was demolished. So I keep it in the animal control ring on weekdays, and only let it out when it's time to eat, so that it can play outside for a while.
However, when we arrived in the Luyang Mountain Area, there were mountains and old forests everywhere, so we didn't have to worry about damaging our neighbors' things. You can let it out and tame it outside.
"Beast Taming Ring! It's so convenient to have this thing."
Ao Lie looked at the beast control ring in Ye Fan's hand with great envy.
This is the top reward in the beast control system. It is generally a good thing that only beast control masters can afford. With such a beast control ring, it will be very convenient to tame pet beasts. I'm afraid it will take him a long time to afford such a beast control ring.
Afterwards, Zhao Feiyang, Mu Bing, Qin Yuer, Lin Danxin and others arrived one after another.
The most outrageous thing was Jiang Youxi. He came directly in a comfortable carriage from the Jiang Mansion, accompanied by a groom and a beautiful maid. He was ridiculed and laughed by the teenagers.
It doesn't look like I'm going to hunt a ferocious beast. It's clearly like I'm going for a sightseeing tour.
Gu Hanjian didn't seem to have any intention of controlling him.
Qin Yuer couldn't help but asked Gu Hanjian: "Elder brother, how many days are we going to hunt animals in the wild? What kind of ferocious beasts are we going to hunt?"
"Half a year! If you don't return to the city halfway, the beasts you hunt will depend on the situation!"
Gu Hanjian said calmly.
"Ah! What, half a year?"
"Why do we have to stay in the deep mountains and forests of Luyang Mountain for half a year?"
Everyone was shocked.
Jiang Youxi was dumbfounded, and suddenly screamed, "No way, I only brought less than ten days of food and drink! I didn't bring enough clothes, only ten sets of changes of clothes! How long do you have to wait for me, senior brother?" How about an hour? I'm going to prepare some more food, and I'll need dozens of sets of clothes."
"We haven't had any supplies in the past six months, wouldn't we have become savages!"
The disciples of all the wealthy clans were wailing.
But this obviously has no effect on Guhanjian. He only brought a heavy sword on the road, so how could he care about others bringing too little.
Soon, the last person in the team finally arrived. Sun Zaoli, carrying a huge package that was almost half a person, rushed in as the last one.
"Sorry, I'm sorry for being late! I prepared too many things yesterday. I was worried that I wouldn't have enough, so I brought some extra just in case."
Sun Zaoli quickly apologized to everyone.
He soon discovered to his surprise that everyone was looking at him with strange surprise, as if they were looking at a fat moving package.
"Set off!"
When Gu Hanjian saw that everyone was gathered, he set off.
Before the first ray of dawn illuminated the sky, everyone faced the morning sun and rosy dew and left the city to hunt in the mountains of Luyang.
There are eleven people in this small team, eight men and three women.
On the way, the young people gradually forgot the pain of staying in the deep mountains and forests for half a year, and became quite excited. There was constant laughter and laughter along the way.
Jiang Youxi was sitting in the carriage with a maid waiting on her. She was eating grapes and other fresh fruits without having to bask in the sun. The journey was the most comfortable and comfortable.
But after a few hours, at noon, Jiang Youxi couldn't stay in the carriage any longer.
Everyone was on their way without stopping, and they had already traveled nearly seventy or eighty miles. At this time, they had entered the Luyang Mountain area. The road was full of mountain roads, which began to become very steep. The carriage could not travel on such steep mountain roads.
Jiang Youxi had no choice but to carry a full package on her back, and ordered the groom and maid to ride back to Luyang City in a carriage. He walked by himself and followed the young men.
"Alas, my majestic young master of the Jiang Mansion, the most beautiful young man in the Luyang Mansion, actually has the day to carry a package on my own and walk on a mountain road. If I were in Luyang City, I would just give a shout, and countless people would rush to help me carry my things."
Jiang Youxi was extremely depressed while carrying the package.
"Come on! We are all descendants of the eight major families in Luyang Mansion, and no one is as pretentious as you. We have to build a carriage to hunt ferocious beasts in the mountains!"
"It's only fair that everyone walks together now!"
"We have been walking for several hours, and the soles of our feet are almost blistering. You are so delicious and you just got off the carriage and walked! Senior Brother Gu is walking at the front. Everyone, hurry up and don't fall behind!"
The young men from the wealthy families laughed again.
...
At noon, a group of them came to a stop in front of a big mountain. This is a high mountain in the deep mountains of Luyang. It is nameless but extremely steep, at least several hundred feet high.
Gu Hanjian looked up and said, "Let's camp here on this mountain and rest today."
"Finally we can set up camp and rest!"
"I walked along for several hours without stopping, and the soles of my feet were all blistered."
"I'll go find the stream, get some water to wash myself with, and have lunch! Recover my strength."
The young men suddenly cheered loudly.
"Innocent! I didn't bring you here for you to enjoy yourself."
Gu Hanjian sneered, "Set up camp at the top of the mountain!"
He pulled out his heavy sword, "Hi!" He suddenly thrust it into the mountain wall and began to climb the cliff that was hundreds of feet high.
Gu Hanjian obviously did not practice Qing Gong, but the heavy sword in his hand could easily be inserted into the hard cliff rock, and he could easily climb up with the help of the heavy sword as a ladder.
The young men were stunned for a moment. They looked up at the steep mountain peaks, and there was a dead silence.
"How to climb such a high mountain?"
"I don't know how to do Qing Kung! Among us, only Qin Yu'er majors in Qing Kung!"
Jiang Youxi was in a daze.
The rest of the people have either never practiced at all, or are not proficient.
"It seems that Ye Fan can do light kung fu?"
"Mine is a dodge step, not a light skill."
Ye Fan shook his head.
The "Dodge Step Technique" he practiced is also a dodge and leaping step for close combat, suitable for use on flat ground. It is not a light skill that can be used to climb mountains.
In the Shenwu Continent, few martial arts practitioners would practice Qing Gong. Only adventure type warriors will major in this kind of martial arts.
After all, if you want to practice any rune martial arts to a high level, it will take a lot of energy and time. Practicing many martial arts runes at the same time means a large amount of energy and time are dispersed.
The real battle between human warriors and orcs is mainly based on direct killing.
If a warrior needs to move at high speed and attack maneuverably, he can use an excellent war horse, a ferocious beast to ride wildly, or even other riding equipment to gain acceleration without spending time on training.
Martial arts such as Qinggong are, to a certain extent, useless martial arts. It is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away. If you don't have the time to learn a light martial arts skill, it would be better to learn a destructive martial skill.
"Brothers and sisters, I'm going up first!"
Qin Yu'er giggled lively, pointed her toes, jumped into the air, flew more than ten feet high, and landed on the cliff. With a push of strength, after a few ups and downs, she had reached the halfway point of the mountain and gradually disappeared.
"Oh, crawl on!"
The young men smiled bitterly, pulled out their weapons one after another, and began to climb the steep mountain peak hundreds of feet high.
Ao Lie bundled the little green wolf cub behind him and began to climb.
Ye Fan took out a pair of boxing gloves from the package, grabbed some raised rocks and some solid mountain grass roots on the cliff, and slowly climbed up.
Fortunately, although this mountain peak is a bit steep, it is not too difficult for young warriors like them, who are on the third level. Their strength and stamina are sufficient, it just takes some effort.
Half an hour later, Ye Fan successfully climbed to the top of the mountain. This peak is quite high and has a good view. The surrounding peaks are relatively low.
The peak of this mountain is relatively flat, and there is a large lawn about several hundred feet wide, which is enough for the eleven of them to set up camp here.
The rest of the people also climbed up one after another. Only Sun Zaoli's package was too big and heavy, so the climb was the most difficult.
"From today onwards, we will camp on this peak and practice martial arts! We will start practicing when the first ray of sunlight hits the mountain in the morning, and we will not stop practicing until the last ray of sunlight falls! Start now!"
Gu Hanjian had an expressionless face and held a heavy sword.
He stood on the mountain peak and started practicing the "Battle Sword" move by move. His sword moves are magical. A steady blow makes people feel that it is heavier than a thousand blows, and there is a faint sound of wind and thunder.
"What, start practicing without lunch?"
"We rushed all the way from Luyang Mansion to this damn place. We didn't even take a sip of water. We were so hungry that we started practicing martial arts?"
"Didn't we agree that we are here for hunting and actual combat? Why are we practicing martial arts?"
The young men suddenly howled like ghosts and wolves, picked up their weapons one after another, and practiced each other honestly.
