in the edge

Chapter 427 When things are entrusted to others

The people who were thrown out of the inn were divided into three groups.

Wang Tonggong and Hu Sancheng became partners. They went to Datang Mountain where the golden sword man had established a bandit stronghold. After Beidou and Su Youfang got their weapons back, they changed their paths and chose Kangping Mountain, as for the five Songzhou people, after hesitating for a while, they went directly to Jubao Mountain where the mass grave was located.

"Wait, they won't be able to handle it, right?"

Looking at the picture brought by Feiyan, Du Chengfeng, who was holding a bald pen, suddenly slapped his head.

Just thinking about getting the matter out of the way, he was a bit trying to save others by himself - think about it carefully, those monsters are very weak to him, but it does not mean that they are also weak to these evil spirit masters. In fact Even if He Xiqing comes over, these evil spirit masters may not be able to defeat them, let alone those evil spirit monsters that are more ferocious than He Xi Qing.

It is better to expect these people to take care of the monster than to expect him to learn painting for two more days. At least the latter seems more reliable.

However, are these people really as bad as he thought?
Immediately, Du Chengfeng knew that he had underestimated the world's heroes.

The first ones to achieve results were the five Songzhou people. These big, round-waisted, tattooed men looked rough, but they were quite methodical in their actions. After a few people went to Jubao Mountain, they didn't rush to search for prey, and actually ran away secretly first. Over there in the mass grave that had expired, a dozen or so corpses were dug out.

"Come on, let's share it."

The other four big men also nodded, obviously feeling deeply about this statement.

What flows with the blood is something that can be called vitality.

As for the remaining bones, these big men packed them up and then wore them on their bodies. Obviously, they probably believed that in this way, the power of the deceased could be distributed to them.

The most obvious changes are those bone spears. The killing intent emanating from these hastily made rough bone spears is not very strong, but it is quite pure. It is even more condensed than the evil spirit. And when using it, After picking up these bone spears, these big men covered with tattoos actually sneaked into the darkness quietly like hunters in ancient times.

But just when Du Chengfeng thought that these people had disappeared, a tiger with nine heads was driven out. The deformed tiger had eight strong claws on its body, and its chest was even more... Stapled with a large knife that had been fused with flesh and blood - however, this terrifying monster that was enough to make a child stop crying was now running away like a bereaved dog, just because there was something even more terrifying chasing them behind them.

With the continuous bleeding, the monster became weaker and weaker, so after a few more spears, the monster fell to the ground as a matter of course.

Du Chengfeng scratched his head for a while, he was a little confused.

Only Du Chengfeng, who had watched all this, had his eyes widened.

This is a rather primitive craftsmanship. These big men cut a long bone diagonally and got a sharp spearhead. Some big men brought some sticks, and these men tied the spearheads with straw ropes. When they got to the stick, they got bone spears one after another.

The leading man raised his hand and removed an arm bone, and then distributed the leg bones to other tattooed men.

Even the flying swallows in the sky can hardly detect their traces.

But in general, these people from Songzhou are really reliable. Not only did they not be beaten passively, they even chose to take the initiative. And just looking at the skilled cooperation of these people, I am afraid this is not the first time such a thing has happened. of hunting.

"What he said is indeed correct. You should fight like your ancestors. Only by fighting continuously can you prove your strength and see your appearance clearly... These powerful enemies themselves are the best mirrors, precisely because With their presence, we can see who we are.”

It was at this time that Feiyan saw in mid-air that there were seven or eight throwing spears stuck behind the butt of the nine-headed tiger. These rough throwing spears were deeply penetrated into the body of the nine-headed tiger, and the hollow Blood is constantly flowing out of the bones - just pure bloodletting is meaningless to monsters. These mutated bodies cannot be treated with common sense. But even from Feiyan's perspective, Du Chengfeng could feel that what was flowing out along those bone spears was more than just blood.

That is the real overlord who rules this world, a cruel monster called the terrifying Ape erectus.

The most outrageous thing is that this nonsense can actually be accomplished.

The leading man stepped on the head of the nine-headed tiger and pulled out a bone spear.

Soon, Du Chengfeng saw that he was making weapons.

Did he really say that?
I haven't said it before, I definitely haven't said it before. His speech is usually very colloquial and very life-like. A convoluted summary like this famous quote is not his style at all.

"Why are they hunting evil spirit monsters?"

"This should be almost done."

It can't be for eating, right?

"Hey, this."

When he thought of that disgusting scene, Du Chengfeng shook his head.

Then, he turned his attention to another group of people.

What Du Chengfeng is currently staring at is Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian. Compared with the five Songzhou people who are well-trained and even know how to cooperate with each other, these two are far behind - there are more than just The difference is too far in terms of tacit understanding, and even the difference in strength.

In Du Chengfeng's opinion, if these five Songzhou people are regarded as average, then the combat effectiveness of Su Youfang and Beidou should be around ten Songzhou people. This means that if the two of them face ten people alone, The people from Songzhou still have a chance to win, and this is probably the level at which they can truly be called a master.

As for Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian...if the two of them met the Songzhou people, they would probably fight each other to death, and they might even be unable to defeat them.

That is about half of the people in Songzhou.

Of course, this judgment is based on the combat effectiveness when they first met. As for what results these people have achieved, Du Chengfeng himself is not sure.

"Can grinding really make people stronger?"

Du Chengfeng was also curious.

But it is a pity that his curiosity will have no results after all.

I don't know whether I should call it lucky or unfortunate. Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian walked around Datang Mountain for several times, but they didn't encounter any monsters. This directly led to them having no way to use their martial arts skills. The goal - Fortunately, they finally found two rabbits, which prevented them from returning empty-handed.

"Ah this."

Du Chengfeng, who had been watching for a long time, didn't know what to say.

It may be that the performance of those Songzhou people was so good that they gave him the illusion that "something will happen here", but in fact, the situation that Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian encountered may be The true normality - just like fishermen usually go home with an empty bucket, when they can actually catch prey, it is only a few.

"But there are only two rabbits...forget it, it's not bad."

Du Chengfeng thought for a while and decided to accept these two rabbits. At least compared to the prey of Songzhou people, these two rabbits were really good at cooking.

With this thought in mind, Du Chengfeng continued to observe the final scene.

In fact, he had been looking at the third scene just now, but it was obvious that the group of Beidou and Su Youfang were as unlucky as Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian - they searched Kang Pingshan very seriously, but still found nothing.

Obviously, they may be good at fighting, but they are definitely not good hunters. Compared to the Songzhou people who achieved results as soon as they entered the mountain, the remaining two groups can only be described as tragedies. But immediately, Du Chengfeng saw through Feiyan's eyes the huge ape with five arms walking through the mountains.

"This is quite lucky."

Seeing the huge ape monster getting closer and closer to Beidou and Su Youfang, Du Chengfeng also lamented the impermanence of the world.

Look at the group just now. They didn't see anything until the end of the fight, and they could only bring back two rabbits. But if they switch to the current group, maybe they couldn't find any monsters just now, but now, the monsters are actively heading towards them. As long as they go back and kill the ape monster now, even if they have achieved victory, this night will not be in vain.

So, what are these two people doing?

The ape monster is already so close, why haven't they turned back?

No, they didn't notice it at all?

Aren't they experts?
"you……"

Under Feiyan's gaze, the huge giant ape monster quietly touched the backs of the two masters.

Immediately afterwards, came the heavy punch!
"boom!!!"

The heavy fist hit and the ground shook. Beidou and Su Youfang flew out on the spot, spinning several times in mid-air.

When they fell to the ground, they were already covered in blood.

"no……"

Du Chengfeng started to sweat.

This is too outrageous. Two masters who originally came to the mountains to hunt monsters were successfully hunted by monsters at this moment. You must know that this is the group he is most optimistic about and the group that seems to be the most capable of fighting. In his According to predictions, these two people were even more powerful than the five Songzhou people.

Why are these two people just...

“Oh ho ho ho ho—”

The five-armed giant ape howled excitedly, and there were five more daggers on its five arms.

But this short sword is only relative to the body of the giant ape. For people with normal bodies like Su Youfang and Beidou, it is already a weapon comparable to a big sword - but it is such a terrifying and heavy weapon. , but the giant ape threw it as a flying knife.

This also caused Su Youfang and Beidou, who had just managed to get up, to be knocked to the ground again.

"……what?"

Du Chengfeng choked up when he saw all this.

Just like the five Songzhou people who hunted monsters with ease, this giant ape is also hunting Beidou and Su Youfang with ease now, approaching from behind stealthily, punching hard at critical moments, and also knowing how to use throwing weapons to press them up... This five-armed giant ape is now more like a skilled hunter, while Su Youfang and Beidou have become clumsy prey.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Su Youfang, who was seriously injured, tried his best to swing the folding fan, but the evil fan shadows were easily suppressed by the five-armed giant ape - as for Beidou on the other side, the invincible sword edge could not cut the flexibility of the five-armed giant ape at this moment. body shape.

Two masters who cooperated tacitly were actually beaten by a mere monster. Now the battle had become a personal show of the five-armed giant ape. It was obvious that in the face of the rounds of flying knives, Beidou and Su It is only a matter of time before someone is killed.

After all, they were all seriously injured the moment they were attacked. Even if they had all their abilities, they couldn't use them much.

"Are we really going to die here?"

Su Youfang, covered in blood, looked up to the sky and howled.

"Brother Beidou, if I die soon, you must blast my body to pieces. Don't let monsters eat my body. That would be too ugly."

"We can't die, none of us can die..."

Although Beidou on the other side said this, his right hand holding the sword could no longer be raised.

When he was attacked by a sneak attack, the five-armed giant ape had already destroyed his right arm with one punch.

Facing two prey that had little ability to resist, the five-armed giant ape once again smiled and broke off his ribs and used them as short knives. Obviously, this was a success for the five-armed giant ape. The hunt is a joyful killing.

But at this moment, a bone spear appeared on the back of the five-armed giant ape.

The five-armed giant ape was obviously stunned for a moment, but just for this moment, more than ten bone spears were nailed to the five-armed giant ape's back. The bone spears on its back made the five-armed giant ape look like a hedgehog. The splattering blood caused the five-armed giant ape to lose its strength rapidly.

Therefore, before the short knife in his hand was thrown, the five-armed giant ape fell to the ground first.

Su Youfang and Beidou also saw the tattooed men in the distance.

"you……"

"We were preparing to go back when we heard the sound of fighting on the way, so we came over to take a look."

The tattooed men carrying the nine-headed tiger pointed at the five-armed giant ape on the ground.

"Do you still want this? Don't want us to pick it up."

"..."

Du Chengfeng didn't want to watch anymore. After all, being seen in this embarrassing situation might be more difficult for these two masters to accept than being beaten to death by a giant ape.

While controlling the three flying swallows to fly back, Du Chengfeng patted his head. His mood was a little subtle at the moment, just because his method seemed to have encountered some difficulties.

Leaving troublesome things to others is indeed his way of doing things. As for himself, he is responsible for supervising these so-called "others" so that they can do their jobs seriously. In the past, this idea was There was no problem. After all, whether he was in Jiankang or Wangyou Township, he had the same idea and basically made no mistakes.

Let professional matters be handled by professionals. This idea itself does not sound problematic.

But now...

There is a discrepancy between his style and reality.
