The sun was setting in the west, and a trace of afterglow scattered among the mountains.
The howling of wild beasts could be heard faintly. The two young men walked side by side, exerting strength under their feet and running as fast as they could.
In the blink of an eye, night fell. The air was moist, and dew condensed on the grass.
Zhang Tianhe touched the dew on the leaves and said,""It seems that the heat is getting heavier. The dew is condensed from the cold air. The spiritual qi and evil qi in the Green Cloud Mountain range are intertwined. It's not suitable for us to continue on our way. Why don't we find a place to light a fire and rest for the night?”
Ye Yang also felt a little tired, so he nodded and said,""Alright then!"
Zhang Tianhe pointed forward." Ziyu, look. There's a fire at the foot of the mountain ahead. It seems that someone is camping there. Let's go and take a look. What do you think?"”
"Yes!"
……
The two of them sped up. In the air, two figures enshrouded in green true energy flew past like lightning.
As they approached, they discovered that there was a bonfire in the col. More than ten people were gathered together. Seven or eight of them seemed to be guards, with the strength of a Sixth Grade Earth Realm expert. There were also a few people who were dressed luxuriously and had average cultivation. They should not be here to train.
There was a Class 4 Magical Beast, the Green Antelope, in the bonfire. This was a Magical Beast with extremely high agility and was extremely difficult to capture. However, its meat was delicious and tough. The meat of the Green Antelope was a rare item on the dining table of the Empire's nobles. Ordinary people had never even seen such wild meat before.
After all, a Class 4 Magical Beast would be an explosive existence in any small human city! Although the green antelope didn't hurt people, it was hard to guarantee that it wouldn't do anything once it went crazy.
The two of them stood on the hill. Ye Yang crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at the group of people in the col.
Zhang Tianhe knocked on the door for a while and smiled.”
"What do you mean?"
"A few of them are wearing the fur of a flower marten, and the jade on their waists is a rare treasure. They must be the descendants of some country's nobles!”
Ye Yang smiled.”
" Yes," Zhang Tianhe nodded." I've never eaten the meat of a green antelope before. Now that I smell this fragrance, my stomach can't help but growl!"”
"Hahaha, let's go!"
Carrying the Flaming Breaker Sword, Ye Yang leaped down from the high hill. His handsome figure landed on the flat ground in the forest after a few ups and downs.
"Rustle…"
Stepping on the dead branches on the ground, Ye Yang deliberately made some noise. With his cultivation, he could have sneaked up behind these people and even killed them as fast as lightning. However, he did not want to do that. Instead, he wanted to hide his strength. He deliberately stepped on the branches and broke them to show that he was mediocre.
But Zhang Tianhe was different. He leaped forward like a tiger, and the sound of his landing was like muffled thunder. He was not pretending, but he was not familiar with body movements. He relied on brute force and strong Genuine Qi, but his dexterity in using strength was far inferior to Ye Yang.
" Who is it?!"
Beside the bonfire, a warrior in black armor pulled out his podao with a clang. He turned around and glared angrily. In the Qingyun Mountains, killing and plundering were all the time. Therefore, everyone was in danger and regarded everything as an enemy. After all, sometimes, demonic beasts were terrifying, but humans were even more terrifying than demonic beasts. The Ghostblade was one such example.
Soon, the experts around the bonfire pulled out their sharp blades and shouted,""Who are you?"
Ye Yang was unusually calm. He smiled and said,""I'm from Liang City and my name is Ye Yang. This is my good friend, Zhang Tianhe. I was ordered by the emperor to go to the Green Cloud Mountain Range to kill demonic beasts, but I got lost on the way and ran out of rations.”
Zhang Tianhe walked forward, patted his belly, and said with a smile,""I'm starving. Can I borrow some food first?”
Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a broadsword stepped forward. He seemed to be the leader of the group. He glanced at Ye Yang and Zhang Tianhe and said coldly,""There's no food here, you guys leave quickly, or don't blame me for being merciless!”
Zhang Tian He was stunned. He couldn't help but say," It's fine if you don't give me food. Why are you so unreasonable?"”
"Clang!"
The middle-aged man drew his sword and said angrily,""Still not leaving?"
Zhang Tianhe was so angry that he was about to make a move. However, Ye Yang pulled him back. A scorching Genuine Qi enveloped Zhang Tianhe's body, rendering him immobile.
Ye Yang winked at him and whispered," Tianhe, these people have no grudge against us. There's no need to make enemies."”
"Humph!"
Zhang Tianhe swung his arm and said," If you don't give me food, then so be it. If you don't give me food, then we'll find another place!"”
……
Just as the two of them were about to leave, a cloaked man stood up from the bonfire and said in a sweet voice,""Young heroes, please wait!"
"Hmm?"
Ye Yang and Zhang Tianhe stopped in their tracks. Under the light of the bonfire, they could see that it was actually a beautiful girl under the black cloak. Her petite body was hidden under the cloak, but no one could see her beauty.
The middle-aged man hurriedly walked over and respectfully said to the woman,"Your Highness, we don't have to cause any more trouble. These two people's origins are unknown, so we can't stay overnight!”
The woman chuckled." The Green Cloud Mountains are filled with danger. There were a hundred of us who entered the mountain range, but only a dozen of us are left. Although we met by chance, it's nothing for us to let the two of them eat for a night. Why not?"”
" This…" The middle-aged man was still hesitating.
"General, don't say anything else. I've decided to leave you two here to camp."”
"Alright, Your Highness…"
The middle-aged man looked at Ye Yang and Zhang Tianhe coldly and said,""Alright, our master has already decided to keep the two of you. Please sit down. After the Green Antelope meat is cooked, you can share it together!”
Ye Yang nodded and smiled at the woman.""Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome." The woman nodded with a smile.”
After saying that, she rolled up her cloak and sat on the blanket again. She lowered her head and looked at the flickering flames without saying a word.
Zhang Tian He looked at the roasted green antelope meat and swallowed his saliva. Ye Yang shook his head and said in a low voice,""No future…"
As he spoke, he picked up the Flaming Breaker sword and fiddled with the branches in the bonfire. The flames danced more and more intensely.
Glancing at the young girl sitting on the ground, Ye Yang coughed and said,""Miss, where are you going? It doesn't seem like you're a team ordered to eliminate demons. Why did you come to an extremely dangerous place like the Qingyun Mountain Range?”
The girl looked up at Ye Yang and said softly,""We didn't come to the Green Cloud Mountain Range just for this. We had no choice but to return to our country through the Green Cloud Mountain Range.”
"Oh? You…who are you?" Ye Yang was surprised.
The girl hesitated.
The middle-aged man said coldly," Kid, don't ask so many questions. The more you know, the shorter your life will be. There are some things that a kid with a shallow cultivation like you shouldn't know!”
Sure enough, the middle-aged man had seven golden stars on his chest, which meant that he was a Level 7 Earth Warrior. However, he had just entered Level 7 Earth Warrior, so he couldn't see through Ye Yang and Zhang Tianhe's strength. Perhaps, Ye Yang's performance was just a Level 4 Earth Warrior in his eyes.
Zhang Tianhe clenched his fists tightly. Streams of Genuine Qi began to circulate, as if he wanted to give the middle-aged man a powerful 'Three Rages of the Heavens'.
Ye Yang stopped his friend with his eyes and smiled.""Since you don't want to tell me, I won't ask, but…"
Ye Yang looked at the middle-aged man and said,""You better not interrupt when I'm not asking you. You're also a noble. Don't you have any manners?”
"You!"
The middle-aged man suddenly stood up. He was furious, as if he was going to fight with his life at any moment.
