In the Blade

The people thrown out of the post station were divided into three groups.

Wang Tonggong and Hu Sancheng became partners. They went to Datang Mountain where the golden sword man had built a bandit camp. After Beidou and Su Youfang got their weapons back, they changed their route and chose Kangping Mountain. As for the five Songzhou people, after hesitating for a while, they went directly to Jubao Mountain where the mass grave was located.

"Wait, they can't handle it, right?"

Looking at the picture brought by Feiyan, Du Chengfeng, who was holding a pen, suddenly slapped his head.

Just now, he just wanted to get rid of the matter, but he was a little bit of judging others by himself - think about it carefully, those monsters are very weak to him, but it doesn't mean that they are also weak to these evil masters. In fact, even if He Xiqing came, these evil masters might not be able to beat them, not to mention those evil monsters that are more ferocious than He Xiqing.

It is better to expect these people to deal with the monsters than to expect him to learn painting for two more days. At least the latter seems more reliable.

However, are these people really as bad as he thought?

Immediately, Du Chengfeng knew that he had underestimated the heroes of the world.

The first to achieve results were the five Songzhou people. These big and strong tattooed men seemed rough, but they were quite methodical in doing things. After going to Jubao Mountain, several people did not rush to search for prey. Instead, they secretly ran to the mass grave that had already expired and dug out more than ten corpses.

"Come on, everyone, share it."

The leading man raised his hand and removed an arm bone, and then the leg bones were distributed to other tattooed men.

Soon, Du Chengfeng saw that this was making weapons.

This is a rather primitive craft. These men split a long bone diagonally and got a sharp spearhead. Another man brought some sticks. These men tied the spearheads to the sticks with straw ropes and got one bone spear after another.

As for the remaining bones, these big men collected them and then wore them on their bodies. Obviously, they may believe that in this way, the power of the dead can be shared with them.

The most outrageous thing is that this nonsense can actually work.

The most obvious change is the bone spears. The murderous intent emanating from these hastily made rough bone spears is not very strong, but it is quite pure, even more condensed than the evil spirit. After picking up these bone spears, these tattooed big men actually sneaked into the darkness silently like hunters in ancient times.

Even the flying swallows in the sky can hardly detect their traces.

But just when Du Chengfeng thought that these people had disappeared, a tiger with nine heads was driven out. The deformed tiger had eight strong claws on its body, and a big knife that had merged with its flesh and blood was nailed on its chest. However, this terrifying monster that was enough to stop a child from crying was now running away in a panic like a stray dog, just because there was something even more terrifying chasing them.

That was the real overlord who ruled this world, a cruel monster called the Horror Upright Ape.

It was at this time that Feiyan in the air saw that there were seven or eight javelins stuck behind the buttocks of the nine-headed tiger. These rough javelins were deeply nailed into the body of the nine-headed tiger, and the hollow bones were constantly bleeding. It was just a simple bleeding, which was meaningless for the monster. These bodies that had already changed could not be viewed with common sense. But even through Feiyan's perspective, Du Chengfeng could feel that the things flowing out along those bone spears were not just blood.

Along with the blood, something that can be called vitality flowed away.

With the continuous bleeding, the monster became weaker and weaker, so after a few more spears, the monster naturally fell to the ground.

"This should be enough."

The leading man stepped on the head of the nine-headed tiger and pulled out a bone spear.

"He is indeed right. We should fight like our ancestors. Only by fighting continuously can we prove our strength and see ourselves clearly... These powerful enemies are the best mirrors. It is because of their existence that we can see who we are."

The other four men also nodded, obviously feeling deeply touched by this speech.

Only Du Chengfeng, who was watching all this, looked at it with his eyes wide open.

Did he really say such a thing?

He didn't say it, he definitely didn't say it. He usually speaks in a very colloquial and lifelike way. Such a tongue-twisting summary like a famous saying is not his style at all.

But in general, these Songzhou people are really reliable. Not only did they not passively take the beating, they even chose to take the initiative to attack. And judging from their skilled cooperation, it is probably not the first time they have hunted like this.

"Why are they hunting evil monsters?"

Du Chengfeng scratched his head for a while, he was a little confused.

They can't be used to eat, right?

"Hey, this."

Thinking of that somewhat disgusting picture, Du Chengfeng shook his head.

Then, he turned his attention to another group of people.

Du Chengfeng was staring at Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian. Compared with the five well-trained Songzhou people who even knew how to cooperate with each other, these two people were far behind - not only in terms of tacit understanding, but also in strength.

In Du Chengfeng's opinion, if these five Songzhou people are regarded as average, then the combat effectiveness of Su Youfang and Beidou should be about ten Songzhou people. This means that if the two of them face ten Songzhou people alone, they still have a chance to win, and this is probably the level that can really be called a master.

As for Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian...if the two of them meet Songzhou people, I am afraid that one person can only deal with one at most, and there is even a possibility that they cannot beat them.

That is about half of the Songzhou people.

Of course, this judgment is based on the combat effectiveness when they first met. As for what these people have achieved by grinding the mill, Du Chengfeng himself is not sure.

"Can grinding really make people stronger?"

Du Chengfeng was also very curious.

But unfortunately, his curiosity will not have any results.

It is not known whether to say it is lucky or unlucky. Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian walked around Datang Mountain for several times but did not encounter any monsters. This directly led to their martial arts skills being useless but they could not find a target to display them. Fortunately, they finally found two rabbits, which avoided the situation of returning empty-handed.

"Ah, this."

Du Chengfeng, who had been watching for a long time, did not know what to say for a while.

It may be that the performance of those Songzhou people was too good, which gave him the illusion that "something will happen here too", but in fact, the situation encountered by Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian may be the real norm - just like fishermen usually carry empty buckets home, and the time when they can really catch prey is rare.

"But it's just two rabbits... forget it, it's not bad."

Du Chengfeng thought about it and decided to accept the two rabbits. At least compared with the prey of the Songzhou people, these two rabbits can really be put into the pot.

Thinking in this way, Du Chengfeng continued to observe the last picture.

In fact, he had been watching the third screen just now, but it was obvious that Beidou and Su Youfang's group was as unlucky as Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian - they searched Kangping Mountain very seriously, but still found nothing.

Obviously, they might be good at fighting, but they were definitely not good hunters. Compared with the Songzhou people who had achieved results as soon as they entered the mountain, the remaining two groups could only be described as tragic.

But soon, Du Chengfeng saw the huge ape with five arms walking through the mountains through Feiyan's eyes.

"This luck is pretty good."

Seeing the huge ape monster getting closer and closer to Beidou and Su Youfang, Du Chengfeng also sighed at the impermanence of the world.

Look at the previous group, they didn't see anything until the end, and they could only bring back two rabbits. But for this group, maybe they didn't find any monsters just now, but now, the monsters are actively rushing towards them - as long as they turn back and chop the ape monster now, even if they have achieved results, this night will not be in vain.

So, what are these two people doing?

The ape monster is so close, why haven't they turned back?

No, didn't they notice it at all?

Aren't they masters?

"You..."

Under Feiyan's gaze, the huge ape monster actually quietly touched the backs of the two masters.

Then, it was a heavy punch!

"Boom!!!"

The heavy punch hit the ground and shook the mountains. Beidou and Su Youfang flew out on the spot, and they turned several times in the air.

When they fell to the ground, they were already covered in blood.

"No..."

Du Chengfeng began to sweat.

This was too outrageous. Two masters who originally came to the mountains to hunt monsters were successfully hunted by monsters at this moment - you know, this is the group he is most optimistic about, and it seems to be the most capable group. In his prediction, these two people are even more powerful than the five Songzhou people.

Why did these two people...

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh--"

The five-armed giant ape howled excitedly, and five more short knives appeared on its five arms.

But this short knife was only relative to the giant ape's body. For people with normal bodies like Su Youfang and Beidou, it was already a weapon comparable to a great sword-but even such a terrifying and heavy weapon, the giant ape threw it out as a flying knife.

This also caused Su Youfang and Beidou, who had just barely stood up, to be knocked to the ground again.

"...Ah?"

Du Chengfeng choked directly after seeing all this.

Just like the five Songzhou people who hunted monsters easily, the giant ape was also hunting Beidou and Su Youfang easily at the moment, sneaking up from behind, punching hard at critical moments, and also knowing how to use throwing weapons to press up... The five-armed giant ape now looked more like a skilled hunter, and Su Youfang and Beidou became clumsy prey.

"Ahhhhhhhhh——"

The seriously injured Su Youfang desperately swung his folding fan, but the evil fan shadows were easily suppressed by the five-armed giant ape - as for Beidou on the other side, the invincible sword could not cut the flexible body of the five-armed giant ape at this moment.

Two masters who cooperated tacitly were suppressed by a mere monster. At present, this battle has become a personal show of the five-armed giant ape. Obviously, in front of the rounds of flying knives, it is only a matter of time before Beidou and Su Youfang are killed.

After all, they were all seriously injured at the moment of the sneak attack. Even if they have all kinds of skills, they can't play much.

"Are we really going to die here?"

Su Youfang, covered in blood, wailed to the sky.

"Brother Beidou, if I die later, you must smash my body to pieces. Don't let the monsters eat my body. That would be too ugly."

"We can't die, none of us can die..."

Although Beidou on the other side said this, he couldn't lift his right hand holding the sword.

When he was attacked just now, the five-armed giant ape had already crippled his right arm with one punch.

Facing two preys that had little resistance, the five-armed giant ape smiled and broke off his ribs again, using them as a short knife - obviously, for the five-armed giant ape, this was a successful hunt and a happy killing.

But at this time, a bone spear appeared on the back of the five-armed giant ape.

The five-armed ape was obviously stunned for a moment, but just as it was stunned, more than ten bone spears were nailed on the back of the five-armed ape. The bone spears on its back made the five-armed ape look like a hedgehog, and the splattering blood made the five-armed ape lose its strength rapidly.

So, before the short knife in his hand was thrown out, the five-armed ape had already fallen to the ground.

Su Youfang and Beidou also saw the tattooed men in the distance.

"You..."

"We were just about to go back, and we heard the sound of fighting on the way, so we came to take a look."

The tattooed men carrying the nine-headed tiger pointed at the five-armed ape on the ground.

"Do you still want this? If you don't want it, we will pick it up."

"..."

Du Chengfeng didn't want to watch it anymore. After all, being seen in this embarrassing situation might be more difficult for these two masters to accept than being beaten to death by the ape.

While controlling the three flying swallows to fly back, Du Chengfeng patted his head. He was in a subtle mood at the moment, just because his method seemed to have encountered some difficulties.

Leaving the troublesome things to others is indeed his style of doing things. As for himself, he is responsible for supervising these so-called "others" so that they can do their work seriously. In the past, this idea was not a problem. After all, whether in Jiankang or Wangyou Township, he always had this idea and basically did not make any mistakes.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. This idea itself sounds fine.

But now...

There is a deviation between his style and reality.
