Rebellious Contract Beast

Under the leadership of Wu Gong, they ran on horseback with torches but didn't know how far they ran. Even if they turned around and couldn't see the ghost city behind them, they didn't dare to stop at all.

As for what time it is now, anyway, at night in Jizhou, not even a single star can be seen in the sky, only a crescent moon hanging in the sky, pale and pale.

"Drive! Hurry up!" Wu Gong pulled the reins several times, urging the horse under him. However, the horse had no tender grass pool, had been hungry for a long time, and was in a bad state. It could be seen that it had begun to resist his own. The master Wu Gong was killed, but due to the strong evil aura on the opponent's body, it could only keep neighing and humming and running forward.

Suddenly, Wu Sheng, who was riding the same horse as Wang Zhongzhu, pointed to the distance and shouted: "Boss... ahem, ahead is Mount Tianyue!"

Wu Gong looked in the direction he was pointing and obviously recognized this place.

Tsurumi Chuyun also looked at it in the same way. The terrain in the distance was flat, but there was a high mountain standing. The shape of the mountain was very strange, like a beast's head with a big mouth. If you look at it from the right angle, the beast's head It's like holding the moon in the sky.

"Tianyue Mountain..." Wu Gong slowed down a bit and stopped.

Others stopped one after another.

He seemed to be thinking about something, and said quickly: "I remember that the Bailan River is not far away from us... Let's cross the river first and take a detour." After saying that, he turned the horse's head and prepared to let the horse head towards the nearby river. He ran towards the rocky road, but the next second, the horse under Duan Huai behind him became awkward because of hunger, shook his head and neighed non-stop, refusing to move.

Duan Huai also had a bad temper. He yelled for a long time. When he saw that it was not obedient, he hit the horse's belly heavily with his heel several times.

He is a practitioner, and his strength is not comparable to that of ordinary people. After these few kicks, the horse turned around in pain, and it did not recover for a long time.

"Get out of here! What a bastard! Move forward quickly!"

Seeing that his horse had been stubborn for a long time and still refused to leave, someone urged: "Old Duan, hurry up."

"I know." Duan Huai responded and hit the horse's belly again with his heel. "Hurry up!" But the horse under him couldn't bear the collision anymore, and it neighed louder and suddenly raised its head. Raise the forelimbs to stand upright.

Accompanied by the neighing, the unprepared Duan Huai was thrown heavily to the ground by the horse, and then without looking at him, he ran towards the distance and ran for a long distance before he heard it.

It wanted to eat some grass, but when it lowered its head, it discovered that there was no grass growing on the ground. It could only raise its head and glance around in confusion.

"This beast!" Duan Huai yelled angrily after getting up from the ground. His face turned pale, and it was obvious that he had been thrown badly.

Tsurumi Chuyun looked at the horse and knew without guessing that it was hungry.

"Tell it well, of course it won't leave if it's hungry."

"This beast is hungry, but people are also hungry?" He retorted impatiently, but even so, they couldn't do anything to the horse. After all, it was an important tool they used to travel.

So after he got up, he could only endure it and slowly approached the horse that had run away. He raised his hands and shouted to it softly: "Good boy, be obedient. Come here, shush zazazazazazao..."

Hearing Duan Huai's voice, the horse that had run away looked up at him, with some hesitation in its eyes, but still slowly approached him.

"Be good, be good, come here, yes, that's it..."

After a while, the horse finally returned to Duan Huai. He saw the right moment, turned over and rode on.

After a brief struggle, it quickly calmed down. Duan Huai patted the horse's neck before saying to everyone: "Okay."

After this, the horse stopped making trouble and was willing to move forward.

But it is obviously not possible to continue like this. Wu Gong has been observing Duan Huai. Although his talent is not as good as that of He Jian Chuyun, he has practiced for more than [-] years and has a peak level of cultivation, let alone a horse. Ten cows can be killed with one punch.

But he just couldn't hold down an old horse.

Looking at the other people, their faces were not good-looking, especially Kuang Kang, who was almost starving and exhausted.

After thinking for a while, Wu Gong took out a sheepskin map from his storage space, glanced at it and said, "It's not a problem if this continues. Why don't we go to Huaiying City first, buy some feed, fill in the How about filling your stomach, little girl?" After saying that, he looked at Tsurumi Chuyun and asked her what she meant.

And she just nodded slightly in agreement. Even she couldn't bear it after being hungry for so long.

As for the others, they all agreed with both hands and feet.

"I listen to the boss!"

"Me too."

"Then follow me." Wu Gong waved to everyone, and then walked at the front.

Huaizhou City is the smallest of the four cities in Jizhou. It is about two hundred miles away from them. If there are no unexpected delays on the way, they can reach it in about two days on horseback.

After Tsurumi Hatsuun joined, they also thought about buying and selling some supplies in the past, but the round trip would take an extra two days, and since they were all on the capture list, they might encounter someone there if they went there. What trouble.

In addition, Huaiying City was to their southwest, and Wu Gong and others had to take a long detour if they wanted to get there, so they gave up.

You know, if you go directly to Ruyiwan, you will only have to endure hunger for one more day, and you will not have all kinds of troubles. No matter how you look at it, it is cost-effective.

But now because of the emergence of Ghost City, it will not take them a day or two to get to Ruyiwan if they need to take a detour. In this case, it is better to let the people under their hands fill their stomachs. As for the rest of the matter, it is easy to say. Anyway, when they arrive In Jizhou City, it only takes less than ten days to complete the plan.

Perhaps it was because of the ghost city that all the evil spirits within a hundred miles were attracted. They didn't encounter any trouble on the road and it went smoothly.

Seeing this, Wu Gong simply asked people not to rest, and kept riding on horseback, driving day and night, trying to reach Huaiying City earlier.

So at noon on the third day, a few people covered in dust stopped at the door of an earthen house overgrown with weeds. Waiting to tie up their horses, Wang Zhongzhu was the first to step forward. After kicking the door open, he didn't mind the dirt on the ground. He just lay down on the ground and rested, and others did the same thing after they came in, causing a lot of "ouch" sounds.

"Ouch... I'm so exhausted."

"Get out of my way."

"Stay away and leave me alone."

“You’re soaking in dog poop over here, why don’t you lie down on it.”

"It's you ****"

The shouting of several people was disturbing, but as Wu Gong came in, all these sounds disappeared.

"What's the noise?"

"Boss..." The noisy people quickly looked at him, but his next words suddenly made them frown.

"You all take out the money you have so that the little girl can buy us food."

"what?"

"Boss, how can we still have money on us? Didn't it all fall into the hands of that black-hearted man?"

"Are you going to have no money? Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up."

"No more!"

"Yes, boss, look, I am penniless now!"

As they spoke, they took out all the places on their clothes that could hold things. Wu Gong took a closer look, hey, there really wasn't anything there.

These men of his are doing their own thing.

After reacting, the expression on Wu Gong's face visibly stiffened, and he looked at He Jian Chuyun with some embarrassment. She shook her head, spread her hands, and said: "Don't look at me, I have money to buy." Not that many things." "Well..." Wu Gong could only nod helplessly after hearing this, "But..." He wanted to say something else, but after taking a look at Wang Zhongzhu and the others, he felt angry again.

"Damn it!" He cursed, and Wang Zhongzhu got a slap on the head for no reason.

Boom!
"Ouch!"

"Boss, why are you hitting me when you're so good?"

"Go away, don't bother me," Wu Gong shouted impatiently.

It is true that these subordinates of mine have no money now, but they cannot stop buying things just because they have no money. They still have to buy things, but this money... It's not that he doesn't have it, it's just that it's hard to get it out...

He hesitated and glanced at Tsurumi Chuyun's face a few times. Every time he saw her eyes, he felt his face getting hot. Finally, he gritted his teeth and put his consciousness into the storage space and took it out. A small piece of "brick".

There's nothing extraordinary about these bricks, they're just golden...

Tsurumi Chuyun originally thought that what he took out would be an extremely shabby-looking money bag, but after seeing the gold bar, her face froze.

"..."

"You received it..."

"you……"

She suddenly remembered something. A few days ago, about four or five hours after coming out of Xiyue Village, she asked Wu Gong a question on the way, that is, he had been fighting and killing in the rivers and lakes all his life. Where did all the money go in the end?

Wu Gong's answer was also very simple. He said that the money he robbed was too much and he couldn't take it all with him. Fortunately, he buried them somewhere. After so many years, the money he could take away also cost seventy-seven dollars. Eighty-eight, after so many troubles, now he doesn't have much money on hand.

After his expression recovered, He Jian Chuyun looked at Wu Gong again, looked directly into his eyes, and said in a very strange tone: "You don't have much money left?"

"Yes...yes, I have said before, I don't have much money left..."

"So all that's left is gold?"

"Uh……"

Seeing that he was really embarrassed, Tsurumi Chuyun was too lazy to say anything and stretched out his hand.

"give it to me."

"Here, give you, give you, please, girl." Wu Gong put the gold bar in her hand with a slight embarrassment.

Tsurumi Chuyun weighed it. Although the gold bar was a bit small, it was about ten taels at least, which was equivalent to 100 taels of silver.

With this money, as long as it is not too outrageous, the things that can be bought can keep Wu Gong and others eating and drinking for a month.

"Then I'll go, you guys wait for me here."

"Go, go, we'll wait for you here."

"Little girl, if you feel something is wrong, come back quickly, do you understand?"

"understood."

In response, He saw Chuyun and walked out. The location where she and Shen Yi were now was still three miles away from Huaiying City, and they could be reached by walking along the path.

Pulling the reins, she rode on the horse skillfully, but then she thought of something and shouted into the earthen house: "Old Wu!"

"What's the matter, you said."

"I have some things to do in the city, and I won't be back until late at night. Please be more patient."

"I know, just don't come back."

As he was talking, there was the sound of the table being pulled inside. It didn't take Tsurumi Hatsune to know that the grown man inside was starting to play cards again.

"The table is set, let's deal the cards."

"What's so fun about it?"

"Then what are you doing?"

"I also want to go inside the city and have a look. I have been fighting life and death all my life, but I have never seen what it's like inside the city walls."

"Yes, I heard that there is a restaurant inside and the food is very delicious."

"You're a bitch and you know how to eat. You don't even know there's a brothel inside. There are so many girls there. You can play with them if you give them money."

"Wow, it makes my heart itch to hear it."

"Come on, shut up your nonsense, and when we enter Fengzhou, I will take you to Beiting City to see all you need."

"Thank you boss!"

"..."

The voices of Duan Huai and others in the room were faintly heard. She shook her head, turned her horse around and headed forward.

After entering the city, she still had many things to do. First, she had to find a face on the black market, and then sell the elixirs in exchange for some money to buy some materials for the beast-enhancing elixir.

However, the elixirs in her hands now are all healing ones, which may be a bit difficult to sell. After all, elixirs are used for first aid. If they are not in a hurry, people are more willing to take decoctions to treat illnesses, so, In order for her business to be better, she would spend several hours refining two furnaces of Yuan Pei Dan.

I looked at the sky and saw that it was already past noon, and there were still four hours until Xu Shi. I didn’t know if I could finish these things during this time. I hoped that the black market would be easier to find and I wouldn’t waste too much time.

Thinking about it, she speeded up the horse beneath her, and Jueying neighed and ran forward.

She walked across the long bridge and crossed the long slope. Gradually, the outline of a city appeared in front of her. In addition, there were vast fields with countless soldiers patrolling among them, whips in their hands, whipping farmer working in the fields.

No, these are not farmers, but slaves. They only wear thin short coats, and their two arms are completely exposed, allowing people to clearly see the word "slave" branded on their right shoulders.

The appearance of Tsurumi Chuyun attracted the attention of some soldiers, but they just looked at her and did not ask her anything.

She wore ordinary clothes and covered herself tightly, only revealing her face. However, due to the change of makeup, her new face looked just like that, with a yellowish complexion. Combined with the clothes on her body, it looked like She was like a village girl who came out of that mountain nook.

In addition, her sword was not placed in the storage space, but on her back, which would make some people with evil intentions more afraid.

What she saw in front of her was just the tip of the iceberg of Huaiying City. As she continued to get closer, she saw more places. It was a large area of ​​destroyed fields. It was several times the size of the field, and a large number of crops and soil were tightly mixed together. The ground was also lowered, as if it had been run over by a road roller.

The city wall facing the north has also completely collapsed. A large number of building ruins can be seen inside, and almost no intact buildings can be seen.

It seems that there has been a war here, and it seems to be more serious than Jua City.
