The Ancient Martial Witch Arrives

Chapter 223 Standing on the sidelines (3)
In addition, some legion soldiers came to Shangshan Village, who were ordered to thoroughly investigate the strange incidents in the mountains, so the entire mountain village was already overcrowded.

There are not many houses in the mountain village that can accommodate so many people, and the problem of accommodation becomes more and more insufficient after accommodating so many people.When Lan Jiu and the other three came outside the village, they saw that the whole village had been surrounded by Wu's border guards. It seemed that there were no fewer than thousands of soldiers who came to the small village.

"Is there any other way to get to Bincheng?" Lan Jiu didn't want to meet these soldiers, so he asked Tangtang who was following him.

But Tangtang shook his head, this small mountain village is the only way to Bincheng, and it has to go through the mountains ahead!
There was only this way, so there was no choice. Lan Jiu took out the cloak from the bag again, put it on, and then followed Tangtang into the village.The soldiers guarding the village did not check the passers-by, but just reminded them that powerful monsters and unknown monsters appeared in the mountains, telling them to be careful.He also told them not to go there unless it was an emergency, or to wait for more people to accompany them, and these soldiers would escort them through the mountains.

Generally speaking, these soldiers are still very responsible, and they did not embarrass anyone in the village. Moreover, these soldiers did not occupy the villagers' residences, but set up tents outside the village for rest.

The quality of this army can't help but make Lan Jiu curious, but after careful observation for a while, he understands that these soldiers are members of the Tianzhu Legion, and the Tianzhu Legion has no obvious signs. Their uniforms are no different from other troops, the only difference The most important thing is that the main combat weapons of these soldiers are hunting knives.

Hunting knives are slightly shorter than ordinary swords, but sharper and more flexible. The whole body is made of steel, and no part is filled with wood. Such hunting knives are undoubtedly the strongest and most suitable for jungle warfare and water warfare. When fighting on the plains, the group will lose some advantages when making a large-scale charge.

In the entire country of Wu, only the Tianzhu Legion can use hunting knives. This is a weapon specially made for this legion when the third prince led the legion.

Seeing the strict organization of the legion led by her cousin, Lan Jiu's mood improved a lot.

Tangtang is very good at getting along with the villagers. Not long after arriving in the village, Tangtang found a widowed old woman. After talking for a while, she made the old woman very happy and insisted on bringing the three of them home as guests.

In fact, it was only afternoon. Lan Jiu planned to go directly through the mountains, but it was okay to stop for a drink, and it was not clear what was going on in the mountains ahead, so it was best to find out.

"You guys, it's better to go back. The three of you are all beautiful. It's not worth it for you to die! Recently, a monster appeared in the mountains. It likes to eat people. I have seen it before, but the people in the village don't believe it. !” The old woman said while leading the three of them into the dilapidated hut while busy pouring water for them.

"Is it a powerful monster that appeared in the mountains?" Lan Shi immediately got excited when he heard this, and asked immediately.

"What monster? That's a monster! It's a red monster. Anyone who sees it will be eaten. My old lady is too old, so the monster doesn't like to eat it, haha!" The old woman was in a great mood and entertained the guests. It also relieved the loneliness of the old woman living alone for many years.

"Is that monster very powerful?" Lan Shi continued to ask, as if he was very interested in the monster, and his eyes were salivating.

Seeing Lan Shi like this, Lan Jiu thought for a while before realizing that Lan Shi wanted to catch this monster and make Tangtang a pet!Tangtang was indeed too weak and needed a pet to protect him, and the monsters in this mountain range should not be low-level, otherwise the Heavenly Moat Legion would not be disturbed to intervene.

"Of course it's powerful. Dozens of people have died in our village. In the past, there was a fifth-level cloud leopard in the mountains. It was killed by the people of our village, but this monster is stronger than the cloud leopard. I'm afraid it's a natural moat." The legion is no good! These troops have been here for two days, and many people have been sent out, but they have not returned!" The old woman sighed while talking.

Those are all young lads, it's a pity to be eaten by that monster.The old lady also tried to persuade those soldiers, hoping that they would not go to die, but find someone who is powerful, but no one listened to her.

"Sister, I want to see the monsters in the mountains!" After Lan Shi asked the old woman carefully, he suddenly got up and said to Lan Jiu.

Lan Jiu almost choked on the tea, she quickly swallowed the tea in her mouth, looked at Lan Shi blankly and asked, "Are you going by yourself?"

"Well, you and Tangtang stay here and wait for me, I'll be back soon!" Lan Shi hurriedly finished, and planned to go out.

But Tangtang grabbed her and said with a sullen face, "It's so dangerous that we can't let you go by yourself, sister, let's go together."

Hearing that Tangtang cared so much about him, Lan Shi's face burst into a smile.

What Tangtang said was exactly what Lan Jiu wanted to say. He only had Lan Shi as his younger brother, and he couldn't let him take risks anyway. Besides, if they went together, the chances of winning would be better, and Lan Jiu was indeed very happy. I want to pass through the mountains quickly so that I can go to Bencheng.

"You guys are in such a hurry! No, no, we'd better wait until there are too many people tomorrow before leaving. Even if we encounter a monster, maybe the monster won't be able to eat so many people, so we will let you go." The old woman said hastily.

Lan Jiu knew that the old lady had good intentions, but he had no choice but to fly away. Lan Jiu didn't care about any powerful monsters in front of him, and he could just test the results of his cultivation these days.

Seeing that Lan Jiu couldn't be stopped, the old woman had no choice but to tell Lan Jiu and the others to wait a little longer, because she heard that a well-known warrior alliance had sent someone over.

That being the case, Lan Jiu and the others stayed at the old woman's house and waited for a while, drinking tea to replenish their strength. After waiting for a while, they heard noisy voices in the village, and it turned out that many people came to the village middle.

When saying goodbye to the old woman, Lan Jiu left the old woman a bag of gold coins in return. The old woman had never seen so many gold coins in her life. has gone far.
