Chapter Twenty-Four: Outside the Black Cloud Ridge

One early morning in late September, the first rays of the sun began to shine on the valley. A four-wheeled carriage with ordinary decoration stopped at the foot of a certain mountain peak by the dense forest.

"Young Master, if you go further, it's Heiyunling-"

When he got off the carriage, Ran Li still hadn't guessed that Yue Yu's purpose was to prepare to see those demon beasts outside.

He was just strange at the moment, didn't he say that he was going to inspect the grange outside the city, and to count the losses on behalf of Yue Zhang's family?

Yue Yu didn't answer, and began to take care of the things he put in the car one by one, and put them on equip for the two of them. First of all, the two bows, and the matching arrows made of sixty lark bones.

The bones of the demon birds are extremely light, not only extremely hard, but also mostly hollow, which is the best material for making arrows. However, it is not easy to find a suitable bone for processing, although this lark's bone arrow is the most common one, it also cost Yue Yu nearly two taels of silver.

Then there is Yue Yu's Tang-style horizontal sword, which is a must-have, considering that it may be damaged in the subsequent battle. When he was in the city before, Yue Yu bought three horizontal swords and three long swords in the clan's weapons shop in one go. And these things, Yue Yu was going to hang them around Ran Li's neck. It's a mobile battery, and it's also a mobile warehouse.

Of course, food and medicine cannot be ignored.

This time, Yue Yu brought out a few slices of pancakes and dried meat, he didn't plan to spend the night outside, so he didn't prepare too much. As for the medicines, in addition to the commonly used several wound medicines. There are also two bottles of Qi Replenishing Pills, because they are used by themselves, rather than handed over to Yue Zhang's family to sell. Yue Yu naturally had no scruples and chose the most powerful formula to boil. He himself estimated that this should be about sixty percent stronger than those qi replenishing pills on the market.

Finally, there is the leather armor of the two, which does not cost money. Their fathers each left a fine fourth-level white crocile, which was not only light and did not affect their movements, but also extremely strong in defense.

And it wasn't until Ran Li was put on a piece of metal chain mail in addition to the white crocodile armor, followed by the tie behind him, and was tied to death by Yue Yu, that he realized the purpose of Yue Yu's coming out this time. Suddenly, the big man's bearded face became bloodless.

He wasn't worried about the safety of the two of them, with his great strength, coupled with Yue Yu's sword skills. As long as it's not too in-depth here, it's enough to guarantee that you don't have to worry about your life.

What's really worrying is that Jin Xu-

"Young Master, do you think those guys will follow?"

Ran Li tried to use a cryptic tone to remind the little master beside him, but when this sentence was spoken, he himself did not report any hope. And sure enough, Yue Yu snorted slightly when he heard this.

"That's for sure, don't you think I'll think I'll think I'm going to think of it?"

As early as a few days ago, Yue Yu had already discovered that someone was paying attention to his actions these days. Whether it was the purchase of materials outside the valley or the inquiry about the situation outside the valley, someone was investigating later. Yue Yu was also convinced that the Jin family's father and son and some other people would probably be happy to see the two of them die outside the valley at the hands of those 'demon beasts'.

Carrying the quiver on his back, Yue Yu waved his hand, signaling that the coachman could leave. Then he turned and looked at the mountain to the north of him.

This is the Black Cloud Ridge that Ran Li just mentioned, and it is one of the mountains on the periphery of this canyon land. The demon beasts above the fourth order have been basically eliminated by the manpower of the Yue Clan. However, beyond the Black Cloud Ridge, there are still large areas of primeval forest. Countless demon beasts breed and inhabit here. There are also a small number of third- and fourth-order beings, who occasionally go deep into this mountain for predation.

For the two of them, it is indeed an extremely dangerous place.

Yue Yu glanced behind him again, at the foot of the Black Cloud Ridge, there was a large area of fine paddy fields. At a glance, it was boundless, and I didn't notice anything else abnormal. However, Yue Yu was convinced that he was in the dark at the moment, and he was afraid that there were more than a dozen eyes peeping at the side.

The Shunfu pharmacy opened by Yue Zhang's family has gradually been on track these days. On the day that those pharmaceutical apprentices learned the process of boiling various wound medicines from him, they hired six martial artists and eighteen high-ranking warriors, and shook the city in one fell swoop.

And just when everyone thought that Yue Zhang's family had gone crazy because of the failure of the farm outside the city. On the day the pharmacy opened, his mother made another astonishing move. After several consecutive days, at the gate of the city, Yue's various wound medicines were presented to those pedestrians for free. This move seems crazy, but it also makes the business of Shunfu Pharmacy burst in the next few days.

Interestingly, Yue Zhang's secrecy about his talent in medicine was more important than Yue Yu himself. Before the pharmacy opened, he even made a special trip to the outside of the city with a few martial artists, and solemnly escorted an old man dressed as a pharmacist about eighty into the city. Put almost all suspicion in sight. all drawn away from him.

The only thing that Yue Zhang didn't expect was that the exclusive drugs in Shunfu Pharmacy would be sold out of stock.

And with the current situation that the business of Shunfu Pharmacy is booming, Yue Yu doesn't believe that Jin Xu and his allies can still sit still.

In fact, at this moment, Yue Yu also felt a little regretful in his own heart. If he could be given a little more time, then he would definitely be able to prepare more fully now, whether it was strength or prescription.

It's a pity that Jin Xu pressed too hard, so he had to hand over those prescriptions to Yue Zhang's family early. I also had to face more risks in this trip outside the valley.

Seeing that the carriage had completely disappeared from view, Ran Li had no choice but to reluctantly pull out the big axe behind him, but his expression was still a little blue.

At this moment, Ran Li's heart is struggling, whether to find a chance. knocked Yue Yu unconscious, and then dragged him back. And at this moment, he saw that Yue Yu had already turned around and walked into the forest in front of him. Glancing at the horizontal knife that Yue Yu was pressing in his left hand, Ran Li's pupils shrank, and after sighing heavily, he hurriedly followed.

When they first entered the forest, they were almost as fast as they could. It wasn't until he entered the dense forest for more than twenty miles, and was about to cross the range of the Black Cloud Ridge, that Yue Yu gradually slowed down.

From here, the two of them have encountered some demon beasts, basically below the second-level median. Aside from their size and strength, there was no essential difference between them and those beasts in Yue Yu's previous life. The demon beasts at this level are far from mastering any special powers, and Ran Li's big plate axe can be solved easily.

As for Yue Yu himself, while he began to pay attention to the search for medicinal materials, he began to arrange some small mechanisms without a trace in the place of passage.

He's not a professional herbalist, and he doesn't even have much experience. However, with the graphical comparison function provided by the auxiliary system, as well as other visual aids, this journey has not really gone deeper, and many kinds of rare medicines have already been collected.

However, at this time, Yue Yu paid more attention to the two of them. His little traps had been touched about a dozen times in half an hour. Although the wind in the forest is very strong now, the sound is not obvious. Yue Yu was always able to separate these sounds from each other through the function of the auxiliary parasitic system.

And after a comprehensive analysis, he found that these guys following him should be between three and five.

- This result surprised Yue Yu slightly, his enemies should not despise them so much. And the style shown by Jin Xu should also be a truth that he knows how to fight lions and rabbits, and he must do his best.

Yue Yu thought of the fifth-level lion crocodile beast that Yue Zhang had said about going south more than ten days ago. Could it be that the crisis has not been completely resolved?

Shaking his head slightly, Yue Yu opened the map he had drawn. The next few are getting closer and closer, and most of them can't wait. And whether he can avoid this crisis safely now depends on whether the old hunter who sold him the bow and tells him is really true.
