One person, one city, guarding the border for 30 years

Chapter 1 Nine Dead Lives

The third day of March.

Great Zhou Dynasty.

Evil Dragon Pass.

As soon as Lu Qingfan opened his eyes, he felt something was wrong.

He was lying in a very uncomfortable position.

Suddenly, a strong smell of blood came over.

Lu Qingfan was startled, and when he looked up, he saw that he was covered in blood!

"Ahhh!"

Lu Qingfan was so frightened that he yelled a few times.

calm down!

calm down!

Lu Qingfan tried to calm himself down, but found that he was still flustered and his heart was beating violently.

where is this?

what happened?

After finally calming down, Lu Qingfan took a look at himself, and found that his head was leaning against the wall, the ground was wet and hard under his body, and one foot was resting on the pile of firewood.

He first tried to get himself up, and then looked around.

This is a very large room, with several large stoves in the middle of the room, and several large pots on the stove.

There are several large tanks at the base of the wall.

There was blood all over the ground.

Suddenly, Lu Qingfan's eyes widened, and he almost screamed again.

He saw several people lying on the ground, all covered in blood.

Where is this?
Is it a dream?
Lu Qingfan pinched himself hard, it hurts!

Suddenly, a strange memory struck, which made Lu Qingfan sober all of a sudden.

I crossed?

This is an ancient martial arts world?
Lu Qingfan quickly cleared his mind and realized his current situation.

This is the place under the jurisdiction of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xielong Pass.

He is only 12 years old this year, and he became a soldier a few months ago because he couldn't eat.

The Xielong Pass where he is now is a border pass, and he is a cook.

Only 12 years old?hehe!

It was only then that Lu Qingfan noticed that he had thin arms and legs, was not tall, and was wearing a loose military uniform, making him look fat and long.

In his previous life, he was only 20 years old, a freshman student.

However, it seems to have earned eight years?
After figuring this out, Lu Qingfan no longer struggled with the issue of age.

Monsters attack?

Lu Qingfan was still terrified when he thought of the scene last night.

It's so creepy!

But here, guarding a few dead people is even scarier!

Lu Qingfan boldly looked at the people lying on the ground just now, and found that they were all dead!

He quietly walked out of the room, only took a look outside, and shrank back in fright.

There were dead people everywhere on the ground and on the city walls.

The strong smell of blood wafted over, making people sick.

Is this group destroyed?
Grass!
Monsters attack?

Is it a beast tide?

In Lu Qingfan's memory, this border town was very safe.

Although the entrance of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range is not far away, there have never been hordes of monsters coming here.

There are no high-level monsters coming in or out.

Occasionally, one or two low-level monsters will come, and with the hundreds of soldiers stationed in this city, they can easily deal with them.

Why was there a wave of beasts coming last night?

What happened to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range?
Lu Qingfan couldn't figure this out, and didn't have time to think about it.

He has more important things to decide now.

In the current situation, what should he do?
stay here?

The city is full of dead people, there is no way to stay.

With so many corpses, he couldn't handle them by himself.

let's go?

There are no people living near this small border town, and it is at least a few hundred miles away from the nearest city.

Can he get out of the uninhabited land hundreds of miles away?

Are all the monsters gone?Will it be outside?
Even if you are not outside, will you encounter it on the road?

Can he protect himself after encountering it?

These are all problems!
So now, when Lu Qingfan encountered a problem, he didn't want to stay or leave.

No, since the beast tide can come for the first time, it is possible to come for the second time.

Even if it wasn't a wave of beasts, as long as a few powerful monsters came, he would definitely die!
Thinking of this, Lu Qingfan suddenly became anxious.

Can't stay here.

If you stay, you will surely die!
Go, escape from death!
Then let's go, at least there is hope for life!
Without further hesitation, Lu Qingfan quickly made a decision.

Just leave!

Lu Qingfan first found a sword and hung it around his waist. It was too long and dragged to the ground.

He could only carry the sword on his back.

Then Lu Qingfan found a small knife, cut off the excess clothes, and tied up the loose clothes and pants on his body with string, tightening them tightly.

He took another bow and carried it on his left shoulder, and a quiver full of arrows hung on his waist.

Clear water, dry food, dried meat, various seasonings, flint, a knife, a few changes of clothes, plus the money he had saved in the past few months, were wrapped in a bag and tied on his right shoulder.

He can only bring these, and he can't take any more.

Fortunately, it is now the beginning of March, and this place is located at the southwest end of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so it is as warm as early summer.

Lu Qingfan didn't have to worry about getting cold.

Safety was his biggest concern.

Although this is an ancient martial arts world, many people are practicing.

However, Lu Qingfan had never practiced exercises or anything like that.

He just learned a little simple martial arts and a little archery.

Pushing the door open again, Lu Qingfan walked out of the room.

At this time the sun had not yet risen, and the sky was gray, like it was past six o'clock in the morning.

He walked carefully, his eyes constantly looking around, not daring to make a sound.

Walking up the city wall slowly along the steps, Lu Qingfan leaned forward and looked around through the crenels of the city wall.

He didn't see a living person.

Not even a living thing!

In the direction of the Wanshou Mountain Range outside the city, Lu Qingfan looked around, and there was no trace of monsters.

He stuck to the edge of the city wall again, walked half a circle, came to the other end, and looked into the pass.

Still no trace of the monster.

Lu Qingfan felt relieved, walked down the city wall, and quietly left the city gate.

He walked very slowly, watching with his eyes and listening with his ears. If there was any movement, he would stop and find a hidden place to hide.

A road leads directly to Caiyun City in the north.

As long as he arrived at Caiyun City, Lu Qingfan would be safe.

This road is very wide, and there are towering trees on both sides of the road, and weeds grow under the trees.

Except for this road, there is wilderness on all sides.

Knowing that walking on this official road would be very conspicuous, Lu Qingfan could only walk here.

Because there is no other way, the wilderness is even more impassable.

After walking for about half an hour, Lu Qingfan stopped, found a big tree, hid it in the most hidden corner behind the tree, and sat down.

After untying the bow, arrow and burden, and moving the sword on his back, Lu Qingfan took out dry food and water, and ate and drank to replenish his strength.

Suddenly, a strange feeling came, Lu Qingfan raised his head vigilantly, and looked around.

A pair of cold eyes were looking directly into his eyes.

Grass!
Lu Qingfan was so frightened that his hairs stood on end.

It was a coyote, a first-order monster.

The combat power is average, but the speed is extremely fast.

Information about this monster quickly appeared in Lu Qingfan's mind.

In the past few months as a cook, he didn't learn anything else, but he got to know a lot of low-level monsters.

Fortunately, it is a first-order monster, some fight!
Lu Qingfan quickly made a judgment.

Dry!
The coyote was about 120 meters away from him and ran over for about ten seconds.

In these ten seconds, if he was fast enough, he could shoot almost three arrows.

At least hit it with an arrow!
Thinking of this, Lu Qingfan touched the bow with his left hand and the arrow with his right hand, raised his hand suddenly, put the bow on the arrow, and aimed!

"Ow!"

The hyena screamed wildly and ran towards Lu Qingfan.
