Chapter 87
"Captivity?!"

The thin dog was inexplicably surprised, pricked up his ears, and responded: "Who is raising exotic animals in captivity, a wealthy family?"

Fang Zhixing couldn't tell for certain, as he lacked key clues and couldn't speculate.

After a while, he quickly suppressed what he was thinking, shook his head and said: "No matter, now I just need to hunt strange beasts, it's useless to think too much."

rough!
When Xigou heard this, he was immediately speechless.

You are the one who is suspicious, and you are the one who thinks too much.

It's so difficult to serve!
However, the reason why Fang Zhixing thinks so much is purely due to his character.

Fang Zhixing is such a person, with a fickle personality and extremely suspicious. Whenever he encounters something, he will analyze it from all angles and think divergently.

Once he senses something is wrong, he will either terminate the action decisively or prepare in advance to take precautions.

In the blink of an eye, more than an hour passed.

Fang Zhixing suddenly whispered: "Found it."

The thin dog raised his head and asked, "What did you find?"

"Linglu blood! One of the supplies required for Condition 6!" Fang Zhixing replied.

Xigou came forward and asked curiously: "What kind of spiritual deer does the spirit deer blood refer to?"

Fang Zhixing held a thick book and explained: "This deer is called 'Silver-backed Scorched Antler Deer'. It has a mercury-colored band on its back and a bright red horn on its head.

According to records in the book, the horns on the head of the 'Silver-backed Scorched-Antlered Deer', which are bulging and tumor-like, are actually a blood sac. When cut open, hot blood will spurt out, which is the spirit deer blood.

This kind of blood is a great tonic, full of yang energy and extremely aphrodisiac. Drinking one cup can completely cure impotence and premature ejaculation. "

Xigou smacked his tongue and said excitedly: "That's great. With this thing, can't I be a man seven times a night?"

While talking, a young man with thick eyebrows came over and asked with a smile: "Master Fang Xiang, do you want me to prepare lunch for you?"

Fang Zhixing was stunned for a moment, then looked outside the gate.

The sun is shining high and the shadows of the trees are the shortest.

Only then did he realize that the morning had passed before he knew it.

After a moment of silence, Zhixing slowly put down the book.

I have read enough information today.

He also had a general understanding of restricted areas and strange beasts.

If you want to know more, just looking at it like this is naturally not enough.

"That's almost it. I won't be able to remember it if I keep reading."

Fang Zhixing put the scroll back to its original position and said with a smile, "Please prepare lunch for me."

"okay!"

The young man with thick eyebrows nodded and ran away.

Within a moment, he brought over a sumptuous lunch.

Fang Zhixing sat down, chewed slowly, and chatted with the thick-browed young man while eating.

He inquired: "Does anyone in our Forging Hall often go to the restricted area to hunt strange beasts?"

"some!"

The young man with thick eyebrows replied: "Although we are a military forging hall, as long as we forge weapons well, we can obtain meat pills. Generally, we don't need to go to the restricted area and risk ourselves.

However, the process of forging weapons is not only complicated, but also very tiring and hard work. Many people can't stand it and would rather go to the restricted area to hunt exotic beasts than do more work.

In addition, there is a special situation. "

Fang Zhixing pricked up his ears and listened.

The young man with thick eyebrows took a sip of broth and explained slowly: "Every time a weapon or armor is forged, it needs to be tested in actual combat.

Xu Xiangzhu is responsible for the testing work. He will bring new weapons and armor to the restricted area, put on the armor, and use the weapons to fight with strange beasts to test whether the weapons are qualified. "

The Xu Xiangzhu here should refer to Xu Dazhi, the "Xuanzhi".

Fang Zhixing understood quickly and asked again: "If I want to go to the penalty area, how can I recruit teammates?"

"Oh, that's easy."

The young man with thick eyebrows smiled and said: "We have an internal affairs department that specifically serves those disciples who want to hunt exotic beasts. Not only can you find suitable teammates there, but you can also get a variety of supplies, such as weapons, medicine, Maps and stuff.”

Fang Zhixing couldn't help but be overjoyed.

After the meal, he went to the Internal Affairs Office without stopping.

From a distance, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

A burst of noise ensued.

Fang Zhixing turned around a fork in the road, turned his head, and immediately saw a large carriage approaching in the distance.

Pulled by four horses, the cart carried a black wild boar, more than seven meters long.

The wheels of the car trembled all the way, bearing a weight that they should not bear.

There were more than a dozen disciples of the Military Foundry Hall in front and behind the carriage. Their faces were full of exhaustion, and some of them were even wearing robes and bandages.

But they were talking and laughing, and their expressions were full of excitement.

Obviously, they came back from the restricted area, and the black-haired wild boar was their harvest.

Fang Zhixing followed the convoy forward.

as predicted.

The place where their group finally arrived was the Internal Affairs Office.

I saw someone from the Internal Affairs Department coming out to receive the black-haired wild boar.

They first dismembered a whole black-haired wild boar, weighed it piece by piece, and finally put it into the warehouse.

Fang Zhixing stood aside and admired the entire process.

Silky and fast!
It can be said that it is quite professional.

Fang Zhixing walked into the hall of the Internal Affairs Department. When he looked around, someone quickly recognized him.

A few days ago, he and Lu Anfu were walking together. Many people saw it and knew that he was the new archer instructor.

"Greetings, Master Fang Xiang. My name is Chen Ping. I am the receptionist here. How can I help you?"

A young man came up to him, nodded and smiled.

Fang Zhixing nodded slightly and said with a slight smile: "I have something to ask about hunting in restricted areas."

"Okay, this way please."

Chen Ping invited Fang Zhixing to a room and sat down to talk.

"What do you want to know?" Chen Ping cheered up and asked.

Fang Zhixing said: "I want to go hunting in the second-level restricted area, but I have never entered the restricted area before. I don't know the road conditions and don't know where to go. I need an experienced guide. Do you have a suitable candidate?"

Chen Ping suddenly understood and responded: "So you want to enter the restricted area! Well, there are many people in this hall who have been to the Zhubing Hall. I can recommend three experienced guides to you. You can choose from them."

Only then will you know that there is nothing you can't do.

After a while, Chen Ping led three people into the room, three men, two middle-aged, and one with graying hair on his temples, slightly older.

Chen Ping introduced: "This is Shi Guishan, everyone calls him Lao Shitou. This is Sun Daguang, and this is Liang Buqing. The three of them are veterans, and all have the experience of entering the second-level restricted area more than fifty times."

The three people saluted respectfully and said: "I pay homage to Master Fang Xiang and would like to serve him."

Fang Zhixing nodded and asked, "How strong are you?"

Chen Ping answered quickly: "They are all in the Guanli realm. Sun Daguang has the highest cultivation level and is in the late stage of the Guanli realm."

Fang Zhixing remained silent for a moment and asked doubtfully: "There are probably Level [-] alien beasts in the Level [-] restricted area. Do you dare to go there?"

Hearing this, Sun Daguang couldn't help but smile and said: "That's true, but the Level [-] restricted area is very vast. It's not that there are Level [-] alien beasts everywhere. Most of the alien beasts are Level [-], and we can handle it."

After hearing this, Fang Zhixing's mind moved, and he said in surprise: "You mean, there are not many second-level strange beasts in the second-level restricted area."

Sun Daguang replied: "Yes, and we know the territory of every second-level alien beast. As long as we don't break in by mistake, it is almost impossible to encounter a second-level alien beast." At this point, Shi Guishan took over the conversation. , added: "Of course, if you want to hunt the second-level exotic beasts, Master Xiang, we can take you there directly.

However, the second-level beasts are very ferocious and cannot be defeated by non-constrictor masters. With our strength, it is difficult to help you. "

Fang Zhixing understood, remained silent for a moment, and asked: "Has any of the three of you been to the third-level restricted area?"

As soon as this question came out, Sun Daguang and Shi Guishan's expressions slightly condensed, and they fell into silence at the same time.

Liang Buqing cupped his hands and said, "I have followed Master Xu Xiang several times and gained a lot of experience."

"it is good!"

Fang Zhixing quickly started to think twice.

Seeing this, Sun Daguang and Shi Guishan were immediately extremely disappointed, smiled bitterly, and turned around to leave.

Liang Buqing's face lit up, and he lowered his head and asked, "May I ask Master Fang Xiang, when do you plan to set off, and do you need your subordinates to help you organize an escort convoy?"

Because the alien beasts are so big and bulky, how to transport them back after hunting them is a big problem.

To this end, Tieshanmen formed its own escort convoy, specifically used to transport exotic beasts without the worries of hunters.

However, Fang Zhixing has a full-level plug-in, so he does not need to transport the hunted beasts back.

So, he replied with a smile: "It's not necessary for the time being. I went to the restricted area just to broaden my horizons and gain some experience and accumulate some hunting experience."

Liang Buqing understood.

Fang Zhixing ordered: "Get ready, let's go to the second-level restricted area together tomorrow."

"Yes!"

Liang Buqing took a deep breath and braced himself.

……

……

The next morning, the weather was fine.

Fang Zhixing first went to the school grounds to arrange the training for the next few days, and then left the Yamen on horseback.

Come to the Zhubing Hall.

At this moment, Liang Buqing had prepared everything.

I saw him riding a brown horse and carrying four or five packages with various necessary supplies for survival in the restricted area.

The two rode out of the city.

The thin dog stayed in Fang Zhixing's arms, its body huddled in the clothes, only the dog's head was exposed, facing the wind, sticking out its long tongue.

This posture is so cool!
Qinglin County has a third-level restricted area, a second-level restricted area, and three first-level restricted areas.

The location of the secondary restricted area is close to Black Wind Mountain, hence the name "Black Wind restricted area". It is more than [-] miles away from the county seat.

Fortunately, the imperial court has already built an official road, and the road is very spacious and can be reached all the way.

With such convenient transportation, Fang Zhixing and Liang Buqing could gallop and travel thousands of miles a day.

All the way safe and sound.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at the foot of Black Wind Mountain.

Fang Zhixing looked up and saw that Heifeng Mountain was not majestic and steep. There were dense trees on the mountain.

"Master Xiang, do you know why this mountain is named Black Wind?"

Liang Buqing introduced enthusiastically: "Actually, this is an inexplicable phenomenon. Whenever the wind blows over this mountain, the wind will turn black..."

Before he finished speaking, a sudden gust of mountain wind blew, the trees swayed and the leaves rustled.

Fang Zhixing took a closer look and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

I saw a hazy thin black mist blowing from the top of the mountain, drifting all the way to the west, and settling in a basin covered with dense vegetation.

The basin is so huge that you can't see the end at a glance.

"Look, that's Black Wind!"

Liang Buqing raised his hand and pointed at the black mist that was disappearing, and shouted: "The basin that the black wind blew away is the second-level restricted area."

Fang Zhixing understood and asked: "What's the explanation for this black wind?"

Liang Buqing spread his hands and said: "There are many opinions, and they are all different and there is no conclusion.

Some people say that there is a kind of black rock on Black Wind Mountain. When the wind blows, it will be stained black by the wind.

Some people also say that the black wind blows from the cracks in the mountain.

Some people say that this black wind is a punishment sent by God to curse our land. "

Fang Zhixing laughed and said: "No one can figure it out anyway, so everyone can say whatever they want."

"Yes, that's it." Liang Buqing was convinced.

The two rode horses and continued westward.

Not long after, a camp appeared in front of the field of vision, with many figures shaking.

Seeing this, Liang Buqing said: "This is a hunter's camp. All those who come to the Black Wind restricted area to hunt will set up camp here."

Fang Zhixing pondered for a while and asked: "Is the operator behind the camp our Zhubing Hall?"

"no!"

Liang Buqing shook his head and said: "To be precise, this is actually a post station under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

In our Qinglin County, this camp should be controlled by the county magistrate.

However, the county government's manpower and material resources were limited, so it was entrusted to our Zhubingtang to manage it on our behalf. "

Fang Zhixing understood that he had the dual identities of the county government and the Zhubing Hall, and he could eat well wherever he went.

The two entered the camp and tied up their horses.

Relying on Fang Zhixing's reputation as archer instructor and incense master, he went through the check-in procedures very smoothly without any trouble.

Everyone is a good person, everyone knows each other well, everyone smiles and speaks nicely.

Fang Zhixing packed up his luggage, put on his armor suit, and carried a large ring knife, dagger, and bow and arrows.

"Come on, let's go take a look inside the restricted area." He couldn't wait.

Liang Buqing glanced at the sky and responded: "It's still some time before dark, but it's getting close. It's best to go in and out quickly, and don't go too deep."

"Well, no problem, you make the arrangements."

Only then will you know that there is nothing you can't do.

Two people and a dog walked along a road and gradually approached the basin area.

When he came to the edge of the basin, Fang Zhixing looked around and saw that the trees not far away were very tall. Each tree was as thick as three people hugging each other, towering into the clouds.

Among the trees, there is a vague mist floating, gray and erratic.

At first glance, it seems like there are long gray snakes swimming in the air, and there is a hint of weirdness everywhere.

Fang Zhixing and Xigou looked at each other in tacit understanding.

"Do you smell anything strange?" Fang Zhixing asked via voice message.

The thin dog raised its head high, its nose twitched for a moment, then shook its head and said, "Everything is normal. I'm sure the air is not poisonous."

Fang Zhixing remained silent for a while and stepped into the basin.

We walked about a hundred meters inside.

Fang Zhixing looked left and right and found that all the plants were very large. The leaves on the treetops were almost as big as a human face. The grass on the ground was entangled like long snakes entangled with each other.

Liang Buqing suddenly smiled and said: "Master Xiang, let me show you something novel."

He squatted down, stretched out his hand, and cut off a piece of grass. Juice immediately flowed out from the break...
