Deep Forest Town is a small town established on the edge of the primeval forest, the whole town is not large, this period is mainly established by running a timber business, in that primeval forest, there are many relatively precious trees, often there are loggers into the forest, cut down these precious trees, and then down the river, in the town to make usable wood, and then transported by horse-drawn carts.

This town was built on this economy, in fact, it is said to be a town, more like a village, but with a slightly larger population.

Su Peng, Cai Junhua, and Liang Wei came to Shenlin Town in the evening of that day.

"Mr. Qi, this town is the last populated place we encountered along the way, and then we go inside, it is the primeval forest...... But don't worry, Liang Wei and I have excellent memories of the route, and we definitely won't get lost. ”

Cai Junhua said to Su Peng.

Su Peng nodded and said, "We should also prepare some supplies and enter the forest, although we can also hunt, but that would be too much of a waste of time." ”

Cai Junhua nodded, several people didn't have much dry food on them, just here to replenish dry food and drinking water, so that after entering the forest, they can save a lot of time.

So the three of them didn't delay and walked directly to the inn in Shenlin Town.

The inn in Shenlin Town, in fact, is similar to the Qingshan Village that Su Peng first appeared, the so-called inn is actually the villagers in the town, who converted their own two-story wooden building into a small area, a total of six or seven small rooms, and sell wine and food below.

Su Peng and the three found the inn, except for Su Peng and the other three people in the inn, there were no guests, and a few people were downstairs first, ready to let the innkeeper prepare a table of game, and then prepare some dried meat and the like, and then eat it after two days into the primeval forest.

It's just when I talk to the shopkeeper's lady about this. The lady looked embarrassed and said: "It's unfortunate that the three of you came, now in my small shop, the dried meat and cured meat, have all been sold, only some dry food and some are left, if a few people don't dislike it, I can make some dry food such as steamed buns, but the dried meat or something is not available for the time being." ”

"Oh? Why is that? In a shop like yours, you must always have jerky and the like. For the carpenters and hunters who go into the mountains to cut wood, right? ”

Hearing this, Cai Junhua felt a little wrong, and asked the eldest mother.

"It is a coincidence that two days ago, two groups of people came from the town, and there were quite a few of them, almost every group, there were about twenty people, and the difference between the front and back feet was a day or two. They all went into the mountains, and before they entered the mountains, they bought a lot of dried meat from me, and the dried meat and cured meat in the store. They bought all of them for double the price, so now there is no meat in the store except for the game sent by the hunters in the past two days. ”

The shopkeeper explained.

Listened to this. Su Peng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Auntie, do you remember what kind of outfits these two groups of people are?" ”

"Remember, one of them. All of them were black clothes, and they looked a little weird, as if they were not decent people, but they were quite generous, and they didn't cause anything, they went to the mountain for about seven or eight days, and then a group of people came, and there were about fourteen or fifteen of them, and there were a few women, among whom there were a few girls, who looked like fairies, but it didn't seem to be very good to talk, they stayed for two days, and then they also went into the mountains, I think these people are not like hunters, not like carpenters, not like merchants, as if they are like you, They all go to the rivers and lakes. ”

Hearing this, Cai Junhua and Liang Wei over there also frowned slightly.

Su Peng nodded, touched it in his arms, took out a piece of silver weighing twenty taels, handed it to the shopkeeper and said: "Shopkeeper aunt, I'm tired of you, I think there are still many residents and hunters in the town, they may still have a lot of dry meat at home, and the tired lady will help us buy some, enough for the three of us to eat for seven or eight days, otherwise it's just dry food and not hungry, we will pay five times the price, this is the fixed money, if it is not enough, ask me again." ”

"Enough, enough, this silver is almost twenty taels, and it is enough to eat meat for a month."

The shopkeeper said, and then she said: "Okay, anyway, they are all villagers in the village, I will go to them to find food for you, you can eat here, if there is anything you need for my nephew to cook for you." ”

Su Peng nodded, the shopkeeper left the store to find supplies for Su Peng and the others, and the second child in the store also brought the prepared game meat one by one, so that the three of them could eat.

"Mr. Qi, it seems that our actions may encounter some accidents this time, there are so many people from the rivers and lakes who appear here, listening to the description of the shopkeeper, it doesn't look like a player, but it seems that there are some forces in the rivers and lakes searching for something near here, if we are not careful, we may bump into them."

Cai Junhua frowned slightly and said to Su Peng.

Su Peng listened, nodded as well, and said: "Listen to the situation, these people may be carrying out some activities, but they may not have the same purpose as us, let's be careful and avoid their possible range of activities, it shouldn't be a big problem." ”

Cai Junhua and Liang Wei listened and nodded, Liang Wei said: "The location of the ruins is difficult to search, and Junhua and I have also determined the location of that secret realm through many documents. ”

Su Peng also agreed with this, and the three of them reached a consensus to continue to explore the secret realm, just be careful to avoid the two groups of Jianghu people.

At this time, a table of game meals has also come up, these game is not particularly luxurious, a total of six dishes, but the portion is very sufficient, and they are all like wild boar and python mountain mushrooms and other game and mountain vegetables that can not be eaten in the city of Linyi, the taste is very good, Su Peng and the three of them, eat a lot.

At the end of the meal, the shopkeeper who went out also came back, and brought some dried meat and cured meat to Su Peng and others, which can be eaten directly, which can be regarded as food entering the mountain.

After eating these things and preparing the dried meat and the like, Su Peng and the three of them entered the two rooms upstairs, and after making an appointment for tomorrow's online time, they went offline together.

After Su Peng went offline, he logged on to the website of the reincarnation, gave his set of passwords for extracting gold to the secured trader of Qi Xianju, and then went to rest.

At five o'clock the next morning, Su Peng and the three of them were all online.

There is no excessive discourse. After depositing their horses at the inn and giving the shopkeeper some money for the horses, they went into the forest.

……

The road into the mountain is not easy to walk, but the three of them are all good, even Liang Wei, who has the weakest martial arts, also has five or six percent of Su Peng's light skills, which is a very difficult road for ordinary people, and for the three of them, it is like walking on the ground.

The speed of the three is not slow, Cai Junhua and Liang Wei are in front. The two of them had entered the mountain from here last time, and they knew the way well, and they led them in front of them, and they hurried into the mountains.

Su Peng followed the two, he had spare strength, although the terrain in the forest was complicated, but for those who had cultivated lightly to Su Peng's level, it was almost the same as a flat road.

The three of them hurried so quickly.

Before they knew it, the three of them had been walking for seven or eight hours.

For seven or eight hours. The three of them rested only once, ate something, and then continued walking, until one or two o'clock in the afternoon. The three of them had already gone seventy or eighty miles into the forest.

"Brother Qi, let's take a rest first."

At this time, the three of them had rushed to the vicinity of a stream in the forest, and Cai Junhua's face was already sweating slightly. He said to Su Peng.

Su Peng's physical strength was still very abundant, but in order to take care of Cai Junhua and his wife, he stopped.

"Brother Qi. This primeval forest is like this, the area here is very large, almost the size of a whole state and county, maybe more, and there are mostly mountain roads, the more you go into the forest, the more difficult it is to walk, we can walk one hundred and fifty miles today, but tomorrow it is estimated that we can only walk sixty or seventy miles, and on the third day, it is fast to walk fifty miles a day. ”

Su Peng nodded, he also found that the surrounding environment was becoming more and more complicated, not only was there no road to walk at all, but also in the forest, all kinds of fierce beasts, poisonous insects, pythons, etc., began to gradually increase.

"Let's go to the creek to rest first, Brother Cai, you bought the water purification powder, let's go to the creek to replenish the water bladder on our body, rest again, and continue to hurry."

Su Peng said to Cai Junhua and Liang Wei, and the two nodded and followed Su Peng towards the stream.

Generally speaking, the vicinity of the creek in the forest is a relatively dangerous place, because all animals come here to drink, so it is not uncommon to encounter anything.

With the martial arts of Su Peng and the others, even if they encounter black bears and tigers, the three of them will not be afraid.

But when the three of them walked to the creek, they all frowned.

They found a tiger, in the creek here.

If it was just an ordinary tiger, Su Peng and the three of them didn't pay attention to it, with the current martial arts of the three of them, it was not much more difficult to deal with a tiger than to tease a cat at home.

But the tiger near the stream was a dead tiger.

A tiger with its body detached.

Su Peng frowned slightly, walked over, and observed the tiger's corpse.

"Brother Cai, come and see, this tiger seems to have been dead for no more than two days, it may be the overlord of the neighborhood, basically no animals come to eat its corpse, and the way it died was not killed by other animals, but by a martial arts master, the head was cut off with a knife."

Su Peng squatted next to the dead tiger corpse and said to Cai Junhua.

Cai Junhua also walked over, glanced at the tiger corpse, nodded and said: "The person who did it, his martial arts are not low, and he only took out one sword, and he beheaded this tiger owl, it seems that he is a master of using a knife who has been immersed in this way for a long time." ”

"Could it be one of the two groups of Jianghu characters mentioned by the shopkeeper at the Shenlin Town Inn before?"

Liang Wei, who was standing in the back, asked Su Peng and Cai Junhua.

"Quite possibly...... Originally, I didn't see any traces left by them all the way today, and I thought that they didn't move along the way and had avoided them, but now it seems that these people are taking the same route as us......

Su Peng squatted there, looked at the tiger corpse, and said to Cai Junhua and the two. (To be continued......)
