King's Landing

Chapter 24 Beyond the Black Cloud Ridge
One early morning in late September, when the first ray of sunlight began to shine on the valley from the horizon.A four-wheeled carriage with ordinary decorations stopped beside the dense forest at the foot of a certain mountain.

"Master, if you go further ahead, you will be Heiyun Ridge—"

When he got off the carriage, Ran Li still didn't guess that Yue Yu's purpose was to prepare to see those monsters outside.

He was just wondering at the moment, didn't he say he was going to inspect the farms outside the city and count the losses instead of Yue Zhang?How come this carriage came here?
Yue Yu didn't answer, and began to carry out the things he put in the car one by one to equip the two of them.First of all, the two bows, and the matching arrows made of sixty skylark bones.

The bones of monster birds are extremely light, not only extremely hard, but also mostly hollow, which is the best material for making arrows.However, it is not easy to find a suitable bone material for processing. Although the skylark bone arrow is the most common type, it also cost Yue Yu nearly two taels of silver.

Then there is Yue Yu's Tang-style horizontal knife, which is a must-have item, considering that it may be damaged in subsequent battles.When he was in the city before, Yue Yu bought three horizontal knives and three long swords in the clan's weapon shop in one go.As for these things, Yue Yu was going to hang them around Ran Li's neck.This is a mobile fort, but also a mobile warehouse.

Of course, food and medicine cannot be ignored.

This time Yue Yu brought out a few slices of pancakes and dried meat, he didn't plan to spend the night outside, so he didn't prepare too much.As for the medicine, in addition to several commonly used wound medicines.There are also two bottles of Buqi pills, because they are for their own use, and they are not handed over to Yue Zhang to sell.Yue Yu naturally had no scruples and chose the most powerful formula to brew.He estimated that this should be about [-]% stronger than those Qi-tonifying pills on the market.

The last is the leather armor of the two, which does not need to be paid for.Their fathers each left a good fourth-level white crocodile armor, which is not only light, does not affect movement, but also has extremely strong defense.

And it wasn't until Ran Li was put on a metal mail armor besides the white crocodile armor, and the belt behind his back was fastened firmly by Yue Yu, that he was shocked to realize the purpose of Yue Yu coming out this time.All of a sudden, the big man's bearded face became completely colorless.

He was not worried about the safety of the two of them, with his great strength and Yue Yu's saber skills.As long as it is not too deep here, it is enough to guarantee life without worry.

What is really worrying is that Jin Xu——

"Master, do you think those guys will follow?"

Ran Li tried to use a more subtle tone to remind the little master beside him, but when he said this sentence, he didn't give any hope.As expected, Yue Yu smirked slightly after hearing the words.

"Following is certain, don't you think I haven't thought of it?"

As early as a few days ago, Yue Yu had already discovered that someone was watching his actions these days.Whether it is the purchase of materials going out or the inquiry about the situation outside the valley, there are people who will conduct investigations afterwards.Yue Yu also firmly believed that the Jin family and some other people would be very happy to see the two of them die outside the valley at the hands of those 'monsters'.

Smoothly carrying the quiver on his back, Yue Yu waved his hand to signal the coachman to leave.Then he turned around and looked at the mountain to the north of him.

This is the Heiyun Ridge that Ran Li just mentioned, and it is one of the mountains on the outskirts of this canyon.Monster beasts above the fourth rank have been basically wiped out by the Yue Clan's manpower.However, outside of Heiyun Ridge, there is still a large area of ​​primeval forest.Countless monsters live here.There are also a small number of third- and fourth-order beings, who occasionally go deep into this mountain for predation.

For the two of them, it was indeed an extremely dangerous place.

Yue Yu glanced behind him again, at the foot of Heiyunling, there was a large paddy field.Looking at the boundless expanse at a glance, I didn't find anything abnormal.However, Yue Yu firmly believed that at this moment in the dark, there might be more than a dozen eyes peeking at him.

The Shunfu Pharmacy opened by Yuezhang has been gradually on the track these days.On the day those pharmacy apprentices learned all kinds of wound medicine brewing procedures from him, they hired six martial artists and eighteen senior warriors, shaking the whole city in one fell swoop.

And just when everyone thought that the Yue Zhang family had gone crazy because of the failure of the farm outside the city.His mother made another surprise on the day the pharmacy opened.After that, for several days in a row, at the gate of the city, various wound medicines of the Yue family were presented to those passers-by for free.This move seemed crazy, but it also caused the business of Shunfu Pharmacy to explode in the next few days.

What's interesting is that Yue Zhang's secrecy of his talent in medicine is more important than Yue Yu himself.Before the pharmacy opened, he even took a few martial artists out of the city, and escorted an old man in his eighties, dressed as a pharmacist, into the city with great solemnity.Put almost all doubts in sight.All away from him.

The only thing Yuezhang didn't expect was that the several exclusive medicines in Shunfu Pharmacy would be almost out of stock.

However, given the booming business of Shunfu Pharmacy, Yue Yu did not believe that Jin Xu and his allies could still sit still.

In fact, at this moment, Yue Yu felt a little regretful in his heart.If he could be given a little more time, he would definitely be able to prepare more fully now, whether it is strength or prescription.

It's a pity that Jin Xu pushed too hard, so he had to hand over those few prescriptions to Yue Zhang early.I also had to face more risks during this trip outside the valley.

Seeing that the carriage had completely disappeared from sight, Ran Li reluctantly pulled out the big ax behind him, but his expression was still a little blue.

At this moment, Ran Li was struggling in his heart, should he find a chance.Knock Yue Yu unconscious, and then forcefully drag him back.But at this moment, he saw that Yue Yu had turned around and walked into the forest ahead.Taking a glance at the horizontal knife that Yue Yu was holding down with his left hand, Ran Li's pupils shrank slightly, and after a heavy sigh, he hastened to follow.

When they first entered the forest, the two rushed almost as hard as they could.It wasn't until he entered the dense forest for more than [-] miles, and was about to cross the range of Heiyun Ridge, that Yue Yu gradually slowed down his pace.

From here, the two have encountered some monsters, basically below the second-level median.Except for size and strength, there is no essential difference from those ferocious beasts in Yue Yu's previous life.Monsters at this level are far from mastering any supernatural powers, and Ran Li's big axe can easily deal with them.

As for Yue Yu himself, while paying attention to searching for medicinal materials, he began to arrange some small traps in the places where he passed.

He is not a professional herb picker, and he doesn't even have much experience.However, with the graphic comparison function provided by the auxiliary system and other visual aids, this journey has not really gone deep, and many kinds of precious medicines have been collected.

But at this time, Yue Yu paid more attention to what was behind the two of them.Those small traps of his have been touched about a dozen times in half an hour.Although the wind in the forest is extremely strong now, it is not obvious that the sound is mixed.However, Yue Yu can always separate these sounds separately through the function of the auxiliary parasitic system.

After a comprehensive analysis, he found that the guys following him should be between three and five people.

——This result made Yue Yu a little surprised, his enemies should not treat them so contemptuously.And with the style displayed by Jin Xu, it should also be the reason why he knows that the lion fights the rabbit and he must do his best.

Yue Yu thought again about the five-level lion and crocodile going south that Yue Zhang mentioned more than ten days ago.Could it be that the crisis has not been completely resolved?

Shaking his head slightly, Yue Yu opened the map he had drawn.The few people behind are getting closer and closer, most of them can't wait.And whether he can safely escape this crisis now depends on whether the old hunter who sold him the bow told him the truth.
