Metropolis: The Rise of Chinese Arts

Zhang Nian stared blankly at the knife in his hand, and his heart was turbulent for a moment.

On the way up the mountain, Zhang Nian's mind was always on the precious sword.

Could it be that the statue in that temple is Bai Yidao himself?

But according to Zhang Nian's own memory, the northern part of Qingyun City has always been a mountainous area.

In this mountainous area, how could anyone build a temple because of a statue of a national artist?

What is the secret behind this?
Thinking of this, Zhang Nian looked up at the rugged mountain road ahead.

Because of the rain, the already steep mountain road seemed even more slippery.

Even Zhang Nian, if he is not careful, he will probably make a mistake.

Thinking of this, Zhang Nian took a deep breath, and inserted the sword into his belt.

Zhang Nian can only solve this mystery when he goes down the mountain.

The top of the first mountain in the range.

Here is a flat area.

Because Zhang Nian was concerned about the danger here that Bai Yidao said, he found a place with a good view and put down the tent.

After arranging everything, he turned around twice, and after confirming that there was basically no danger within a few miles, he returned to the tent.

The first night passed, and there was nothing unusual around after waking up in the morning.

Zhang Nian's heart was slightly relieved.

After eating a little breakfast, Zhang Nian sat on a stone next to him, took out the secret book left by his father, and began to study it carefully.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and before I knew it, half a day had passed.

Zhang Nian was concentrating on research at this time, but he didn't notice anything, and abnormalities began to slowly appear around him.

When he saw half of it, he just felt as if he was caught in a strange loop.

No matter what you do, this section is always going to be difficult.

Looking up, the sun has risen overhead.

Zhang Nian closed the book and sighed.

I thought it was already this time, so I might as well go back and have lunch, and then talk about it.

Standing up from the rock, Zhang Nian stretched.

Just when his consciousness was blurred, suddenly, he frowned, and suddenly dodged to the side.

Whoosh.

I don't know what kind of thing flew past the ear.

Thanks to Zhang Nian's quickness, if it was someone else, the thing would definitely hit his head.

Zhang Nian turned around abruptly.

At some point behind him, three monsters with neither human nor ghost appeared.

When I looked carefully, I realized that it turned out to be three people dressed in rags.

Their bodies were covered in blood, and their clothes were torn, as if they had been wandering for a long time.

Zhang Nian frowned, took a step back, and made a defensive posture.

"Everyone, we seem to have no grievances, why do you want to kill me?"

He looked at the three people coldly.

Who knows, these three people didn't seem to understand what he said.

One of them turned suddenly and took a stone from behind.

Zhang Nian took a closer look and saw that the stone weighed twenty or thirty catties.

But when this man picked it up with one hand, it was as simple as picking up a small stone.

Without saying a word, he threw it towards Zhang Nian.

Zhang Nian snorted coldly, and kicked the stone into pieces with a flying kick.

"Don't be ignorant of flattery. We are walking on the opposite side of the road. We didn't want to know each other. If you are asking for money, you can take what is here. Why do you want to kill yourself for money?"

However, before Zhang Nian finished speaking, these three people suddenly rushed towards him as if they were going crazy.

Zhang Nian was taken aback.

According to his experience, there is a cliff behind here, if these people rush so fast, unless they are gods.

Otherwise, as long as you can't catch yourself, you will definitely fall off the cliff and die.

In addition, even if you catch yourself, you will die together!

Thinking of this, Zhang Nian suddenly opened his hands.

I saw his feet twisted, and his whole body fell back, like a spring.

Bounced forward suddenly, the three of them were bounced back by Zhang Nian before rushing up.

He jumped down from the rock.

The three people looked at Zhang Nian with a little fear at this moment.

Probably because they have never seen such a powerful person.

There was no intention of attacking any more, and he turned and ran away.

After Zhang Nian chased for tens of meters with a puzzled face, he turned around and came back.

Checking the supplies, I found that I hadn't lost anything.

So why did these three people come here?Is it really just to kill yourself?
Zhang Nian looked around and couldn't help but feel a chill down his back.

Because I don't know when, near my camp, there have been many footprints that don't belong to me.

Most of these footprints are those of humans without shoes.

Did he meet a savage?
Zhang Nian frowned and looked to the side.

After the three disappeared, the surroundings returned to calm.

But he also knew that this place would definitely not be able to stay any longer.

Before going up the mountain, the danger Bai Yidao mentioned certainly didn't just refer to these three people.

If there were only these three, it is estimated that Bai Yidao's level would not be afraid of them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Nian quickly turned around and began to pack his things.

However, just when he was packing his things was empty.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound around.

At first, Zhang Nian didn't pay attention.

He just thought it was just the sound of the wind blowing the surrounding leaves.

But slowly Zhang Nian felt that something was not quite right.

Because the surrounding voices gradually became louder.

Moreover, the sound had changed from a rustling sound to a crackling sound.

Much like the sound of meat slapping.

Zhang Nian hurriedly got out of the tent.

The scene in front of him directly made him gasp.

I saw that in the direction of the mountain, the savages all over the mountain had almost blocked Zhang Nian's escape route.

Looking around, there were probably hundreds of people.

Zhang Nian was not afraid of whether he could beat him, but he was afraid that all of these people would be masters who were not afraid of death.

Just like the three just now, Zhang Nian is really worried if this method of dying together is used.

This group of people was dirty from top to bottom, in tattered clothes, with expressionless faces, slowly walking towards Zhang Nian.

Zhang Nian tried his best to see if there was a leader among this group of people.

But after watching for a long time, he finally came to a conclusion that this group of people is simply a gang of mobs, where did the leader come from.

He walked slowly in the direction of the tent.

In order to prevent these people from destroying the things in his camp that he didn't have time to clean up, Zhang Nian tried his best to jump out of the camp.

Before they could get a firm foothold, this group of people suddenly rushed towards Zhang Nian as if they had received some orders.
