Text Chapter 22 Robbery
On the edge of the forest in the upper reaches of the river, the scorching sun was shining in the sky, and it was already noon. On a secluded uninhabited path, there was no sound except the sound of cicadas, and a teenager was lying motionless in the shade of a tree on the side of the road. If you look closer, you will see that the boy is not lying on the ground, but sleeping on a strange black stone slab. This young man is none other than Mengtian.
Suddenly, a loud birdsong crossed the sky, frowning, he woke up, sat up quietly from Haochen, and let out a breath, feeling that the energy bead in his body seemed to be slightly larger.
Squinting his eyes and looking up, it was already noon, and it had been seven days since Meng Tian left Linjiang City. Recently, the physical and mental exhaustion, coupled with the fact that he didn't have to get up early to train, this was the most sleepy sleep in Mengtian in the past two years, but he still couldn't do anything about Mengduo. He took out dry food and water from the iron ring at will, picked up Haochen on his back, and began to eat while on the road.
In order to ensure that he could exercise himself on the road, Mengtian carried Haochen all the way. With Haochen's weight, he had to use an ability to function properly. When nearly half of the energy was consumed, he put away Haochen, took out the energy crystal and recovered while running, until the energy was fully recovered, and then carried Haochen on his back, and so on.
According to Lu Lao's map, this route bypasses the big forest and the Shujiang River where Mengtian lives, which is very in line with what he said, "do not enter the forest and bypass the water", passing through many villages and cities, in order to let Mengtian see more local customs and increase experience. It's just that this route is so detoured that the original distance of 20,000 li has doubled, but Meng Tian doesn't care about the distance, his original intention is to experience, as long as he can reach Wenshan within a year.
He took out the map and looked at it, he was about to reach his first stop, "Nameless village, located three hundred miles northwest of Linjiang City, this villager is simple, warm and kind" This is Lu Lao's annotation on the map. At his own pace, he should be able to arrive before dark, Meng Tian thought for a moment.
Because the things in my heart were too heavy, I didn't have the excitement of going out for the first time, and I didn't feel sad or happy, and continued to move forward.
It's just that he didn't know that a pair of eyes were watching him faintly at this time...
......
After running with Haochen on his back for an hour, Meng Tiancai put it away with a slight gasp and replaced it with Nengjing in his hand. Just carrying Haochen on his back will not consume too much of his energy, and his special physique has many times more energy savings than ordinary cultivation, so it is not a big problem to support it for an hour.
It's just that he has always kept in mind Lu Lao's advice in his heart, and he has been extra careful along the way, so he has kept himself in charge of more than half of his energy in case of emergencies.
"Huh?" Meng Tian saw three figures on the path from afar, but they didn't look like travelers, because they weren't in a hurry, but stood in the middle of the road, as if waiting for something.
When they got closer, Meng Tiancai could see their appearance clearly: the middle one, in his early thirties, holding an eyebrow-length stick, was in the prime of life, but he was a little thin. The two next to him were in their twenties, and the one on the left was not strong with a short stick in both hands, but he was a few points taller than the one in the middle, and a large egret stood on his shoulder. The man on the right is empty-handed, and his sturdy body, especially his arms, is particularly strong. The three of them were dressed in shabby clothes, and there was a faint fierce aura between their eyebrows.
Originally, Meng Tian wanted to bypass them, but the man in the middle stretched out his hand to refuse, signaling him to stop.
At this moment, Meng Tian saw that a little door was coming, and he thought that this was the so-called "robbery". Meng Tian also directly gave up the idea of a detour, and stopped straight. He just needs to fight now to hone himself, and if he can't fight, he will drill into the woods. Lu Lao once said that if he only talked about running speed with all his strength, relying on "body strengthening" was no longer lost to ordinary people who could walk, and there were countless abilities on the continent, and Lu Lao and Li Mei's similar abilities were already very coincidental, so it couldn't be that this enhancement system was all over the world.
"Hey?" And the three people here were a little stunned, they were already ready to pursue and intercept, how could they expect the other party to be so happy.
These three people are all capable of cultivating, although they only have five or six stages of cultivation, but compared to the trillions of mortals in the Neng Continent, they can be regarded as masters. The person in the middle is named Li Tianliang, the leader of the three, they usually rely on robbery for a living, but they are not cruel by nature, they have always robbed money and did not ask for their lives. Occasionally, if some caravans pass by here, although they are not necessarily afraid of them, but in line with the principle that more is better than less, they also pay a little "road money" according to the rules of the rivers and lakes.
With Li Tianliang's rich experience in "trading", it can be seen that Meng Tian is a stunned young man. If ordinary people encounter strangers blocking the road, they will at least be on guard, where will they stop so aggressively. Generally, people who are so calm either have great strength and are extremely confident in themselves, or they are newcomers who don't know what they need to do when they go out.
The young man in front of him, Li Tianliang, is estimated to be thirteen or fourteen years old, and thirteen or fourteen-year-olds can give birth? Those are all geniuses, who doesn't hold them up as treasures, how can they be willing to let him go around alone? Even if it is really those genius teenagers who are not subject to restraint sneak out, there are three capable students on his side, what are they afraid of. As for a capable teacher of this age, Li Tianliang never thought about it, he didn't believe that this kind of countryside could have such a demon that was unique in ten thousand.
"Ahem" Li Tianliang rarely met such an obedient "customer", and he was not very comfortable for a while, thinking that the other party might have a little bit behind him, and he didn't want to offend too much, so he pretended to say, "This little brother, please stay, the three brothers have something to ask for..."
"Oh?" In fact, where would Meng Tian listen to his nonsense, there are not no pretentious people around him, if you talk about Meng Da's pretentious skills, it can be said to be a unique in the world. However, the first time Meng Tian encountered this situation, he also felt fresh, so he followed his words, "I don't know what is the matter?"
"Hey?" Seeing that the other party was so cooperative, Li Tianliang was stunned again, but he quickly came back to his senses and said with a straight face, "We were originally farmers in the mountains, and we happened to meet a tiger today..."
"Big brother, what are you talking to him about... Leave the money and leave quickly!" The egret man on the side couldn't listen to it anymore. This radius of 100 miles is full of plains, there is not a single mountain, take a Qimei stick and say that it is a tiger, this lie is really ridiculous, so he hurriedly interrupted Li Tianliang, afraid that if he pulled it again, the face of the three of them would be lost.
"Robbery? Meng Tian replied quickly, he had originally planned to find fault, and when he heard that the other party had no intention of taking his life, he was not a heinous person, so he was even more fearless.
"I don't think you have anything of value all over your body, but that pair of bracelets seems to be a bit extraordinary! It's better to hand them over honestly to avoid the pain of skin and flesh!" The egret man actually took a fancy to the weight-bearing equipment on Mengtian's wrist.
"This?" Montene was a little amused, and the other party actually asked for this thing. "Take it. So he unbuttoned the bracer of his left hand, which weighed three times the weight of Monty's own!
This egret man is a psychic cultivator, strength is not his strong point, it was his psychic egret who discovered Meng Tian before, and only then did he inform the three of them to wait here early. Seeing Meng Tian throw it out easily, he didn't care, he wanted to take this treasure into his arms. How did he know that such a small object actually sank like a cannonball, smashed into his arms, and rolled out several times with his whole person like a wheel!
"What kind of ability is this?!" the three of them said in unison, all shocked!
