Chapter 243 242: The Skinned Ghost Ape

Lou Jinchen discovered that these merchants were all family members, with fathers and sons, and uncles and nephews.

But to be on duty, it's not that the whole family group goes together, but one person.

In other words, you are on duty for those closest to you.

Lou Yuanxing was on duty on the platform, and his son Lou Doudou was sleeping inside.

When Lou Jinchen came out, he asked in surprise, "Why don't you take a good rest inside?"

"I'll go back later, just to chat with you about Zhongzhou. You travel between Zhongzhou and Dongzhou, do you know about the Sword Spirit Mountain in Zhongzhou?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"Of course Sword Spirit Mountain knows. Although I have never been deep in Zhongzhou, and I only work around the Luyuan Wharf on the border of Zhongzhou, I also know that Sword Spirit Mountain is a big faction of Zhongzhou."

"However, about ten years ago, I heard that the gate of Jianling Mountain was broken!" Lou Yuanxing said.

"The door was broken?" Lou Jinchen asked in surprise: "Isn't it the Zhongzhou Dapai? How could it be broken?"

"Xiao Lou, do you have acquaintances in Jianling Mountain?" Lou Yuanxing wanted to ask if there were relatives there, but he changed his words again.

"There is indeed a friend who is a disciple of Sword Spirit Mountain." Lou Jinchen said, "Can you tell me why the gate of Sword Spirit Mountain was broken?"

"I don't know about that. Over the years, among the major Zhongzhou sects, there are many sects whose gates have been broken. It's just that the Sword Spirit sect is more famous."

"However, I also heard that although the gate of the Sword Spirit Sect was broken, the people inside are not all gone, and they are still moving around, doing some assassinations." Lou Yuanxing said.

"Assassination?" Lou Jinchen didn't quite understand.

"Probably to the enemies, or to some people who have fallen into trouble." Lou Yuanxing said.

He actually didn't know very well.

"Then Zhongzhou's style, can you introduce one or two." Lou Jinchen said.

"That's fine. Zhongzhou is not like our Dongzhou, which is isolated by the abyss. Zhongzhou is wider, and the imperial court is more closely integrated with the forces of various sects and sects."

"I heard that the reason why the gate of Sword Spirit Mountain was broken was because of participating in the dragon struggle, but that's what I heard, I don't know if it's true or not." Lou Yuanxing said with a smile.

The two continued to chat, slowly getting together with what Lou Jinchen had heard about Zhongzhou from elsewhere.

There is a general understanding in my heart.

In the entire Zhongzhou there is a big country called 'Zhou' country, and some small countries are claiming their vassals.

But to the west of the Great Zhou Kingdom, there is an enemy country called the Wushen Kingdom, and Lou Jinchen doesn't know what the Wushen Kingdom looks like.

It's just that the two countries have been fighting for a long time, fighting on and off, or fighting big or small.

But in the Great Zhou Kingdom, the same is not peaceful, with dragon sons vying for the throne, family factions, and sect enmity.

But fortunately, the royal family of the Great Zhou suppressed it with some backbone strength. Fortunately, everyone knew what the overall situation was, and they never thought of breaking the Great Zhou Kingdom.

The first half of the night passed quickly, and everything was calm.

The two went back to rest.

In this way, the caravan traveled through the canyon for five days, and after another day, they came to a bridge.

Lou Jinchen stood there watching, listening to the whistling earth-shattering wind in his ears.

This season is the time when the wind is the smallest, but the wind is still like howling ghosts and wolves.

Moreover, there are no lights here, but everyone wears a gemstone necklace around their necks, which will glow in the dark.

This is also a way for everyone to identify themselves at night. Although monks can see at night, it is inevitable that they will be easier to recognize if they wear this around their necks.

"Rest for four hours, get enough mental power, and cross the bridge soon, and the most dangerous time has come." The leader warned everyone.

This caravan is considered a regular visitor on this road, so they didn't say any more, and everyone went to find the resting cave.

However, Lou Jinchen heard an exclamation.

When he also came to the cave, he found that the cave was covered with human skins.

But no corpse was seen on the ground. Obviously, the corpse was dragged away, and there were traces of dragging away.

"It's those skinned ghost apes!" Someone shouted in horror.

In the past, these apes were not called skinned ghost apes, but black apes, but since they began to skin humans for revenge, people called them skinned ghost apes.

This is more vivid, but it can also be seen that people are already wary of these black apes in their hearts.

"Let's change places." The leader said.

He was very cautious, these skins were hanging here, he did not ask someone to take them down, but changed to another place.

This cave is not the only one nearby. After everyone entered the cave, they found that it was quite clean, and they were slightly relieved.

But the joy of having just arrived here is gone.

"Everyone, be vigilant. One more person will be on duty tonight, and the two posts will be on guard." The leader said.

No one objected, and everyone thought it was reasonable.

There was also worry in Lou Yuanxing's eyes.

He touched the fur sweater on his body, and sighed: "We kill apes and skin them, and apes kill people and skin them. Sometimes the cruelty in the world is not all for evil, but also for survival."

Lou Jinchen didn't answer, he had a vague feeling that there were eyes watching him nearby, but the other party hid it very well, making it difficult for him to notice it for a while.

This kind of situation is rare, so he is also vigilant in his heart, and these caravans are by no means ordinary people, and the leaders have reached the fourth level of cultivation, so it can be seen that the leaders of other caravans may also be in this level.

Everyone in the fourth realm will die, so these skinned ghost apes who kill and skin them are not easy.

Lou Jinchen said to Lou Yuanxing and Lou Doudou, "Be careful tonight."

The two of them, father and son, have never seen Lou Jinchen so cautious all the way.

Lou Jinchen didn't need to remind them originally, they were already extremely vigilant, and now they are even more so.

Lou Jinchen looked around, the fur on his body was blown by the whistling wind, but the rocks on the cliffs of the canyon were scattered high and low, blocking his sight, and he couldn't see clearly what was in those corners.

After Lou Jinchen, Lou Yuanxing and his son also entered the cave, a black ape came out from a high hole in the cliff, wearing a large human robe.

However, a pair of eyes are faintly shining like will-o'-the-wisps, and from this corner, one can just see the bottom.

After a while it faded into darkness.

But at this time, a figure appeared from the darkness. It was Lou Jinchen. He smelled the smell, but he didn't smell anything. He was standing at the place where the black ape stood just now, and he could just see the bridge below. intersection.

He frowned, then flew down, and at the same time as he fell, he saw two people also heading towards the same place he was going to.

Obviously they were ordered by the leader to check it out, and the place they chose was also there.

Lou Jinchen didn't greet them, and they couldn't see Lou Jinchen either.

When Lou Jinchen returned to the cave where everyone was, he just sat down when he heard a shrill cry in his ears.

Then there was the sound of heavy objects falling, twice in a row.

"Boom!"

Lou Jinchen's face changed, he just saw these two people going to the place he had been to, and he didn't find anything there.

And now these two are dead?

Everyone stood up suddenly, and the leader shouted: "Don't panic, senior, Wang Xiang, Li Feng, Lou Yuanxing, you four follow me out to have a look, the others can only move around the entrance of the cave. Do not chase the enemy at will."

The leader is very decisive.
