Death Reincarnation Game Chapter 383: Tiger corpse
bsp;Shenlin Town is a small town established on the edge of the primeval forest. The whole town is not big. It was mainly built on the timber business. In that primeval forest, there are many relatively precious treasures. Trees, loggers often enter the forest, cut down these precious trees, wash them down along the river, make usable wood in the town, and then transport them away by horse-drawn carriages.
This small town was formed under this kind of economy. In fact, it is called a town, but more like a village, but the population is slightly larger.
Su Peng, Cai Junhua, and Liang Wei came to Deep Forest Town that evening.
"Mr. Qi, this small town is the last inhabited place we encountered along the way. If we walk further inside, we will reach the virgin forest... But don't worry, Liang Wei and I have excellent memories of the route. You won’t get lost for sure.”
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, it is a waste of time."
Cai Junhua nodded. None of them had brought much dry food with them. It was just a good time to replenish dry food and drinking water here. This would save a lot of time after entering the forest.
So the three of them walked directly to the inn in Deep Forest Town without any delay.
The inn in Shenlin Town is actually similar to the Qingshan Village where Su Peng first appeared. The so-called inn was actually converted into a two-story wooden building by the villagers in the town. The area is not too large. There are only six or seven small rooms in total, and wine and food are sold below.
Su Peng and the others found the inn. Except for Su Peng and the other three, there were no guests in the inn. A few of them were downstairs, preparing for the innkeeper to prepare a table of game, and then some dried meat. Please wait two days before entering the primeval forest before eating.
I just talked about this with the shopkeeper’s aunt. The aunt looked embarrassed and said: "It's unfortunate that you three have come. Now in my small shop, all the dried meat and cured meats have been sold out, leaving only some dry food and some. I don't mind if you don't mind." If so, I can make some dry food such as steamed buns, but I don’t have any dried meat for the time being.”
"Oh? Why is this? A shop like yours must always have dried meat and the like. Is it for the carpenters and hunters who go to the mountains to cut trees?"
After hearing this, Cai Junhua felt something was wrong and asked his aunt.
"It's a coincidence. Two days ago, two groups of people came to the town. There were quite a few of them. There were almost twenty people in each group, and there was a gap of one or two days between them. They all went into the mountains. Before entering the mountains, they bought all the dried meat and cured meats from me at double the price. So now, except for the ones brought by hunters in the past two days, they bought them all. There is no game to take with me.”
The shopkeeper explained.
Hear this. Su Peng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you still remember what these two groups are wearing?"
"Remember, there was one group of people. They were all wearing black clothes. They looked a little weird, and they didn't seem to be decent people, but they were quite generous, and they didn't cause any trouble. They entered the mountain in about seven or eight days. , and then another group of people came. There were about fourteen or five people in this group, and there were several women among them. There were a few girls who looked like angels, but they didn’t seem to be easy to talk to. They stayed. Two days later, I also went into the mountains. From what I saw, these people didn’t look like hunters or carpenters, nor did they look like businessmen. They seemed to be wanderers just like you.”
After hearing this, Cai Junhua and Liang Wei over there also frowned slightly.
Su Peng nodded, felt in his arms, took out a large piece of silver weighing twenty taels, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said: "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry to trouble you, I think there are still more people in the town. Many residents and hunters may still have a lot of dry goods and meat in their homes. Could you please help me buy some for us? It will be enough for the three of us to eat for seven or eight days. Otherwise, we will not be very hungry with just dry food, so we will pay five times the price. , this is the deposit, if it’s not enough, ask me again.”
"That's enough, that's enough. There are almost twenty taels of silver. It's enough for a month's worth of meat."
The shopkeeper said, and then she said: "Okay, since they are all villagers, I will go to them to find food for you. You can eat here. If you need anything, let my nephew cook for you. ."
Su Peng nodded, and the shopkeeper left the store to find supplies for Su Peng and others. The waiter in the store also brought the prepared game one plate after another for the three of them to eat.
"Mr. Qi, it seems that our actions may encounter some surprises this time. So many people from the Jianghu appear here. From the shopkeeper's description, they don't look like players, but rather some forces in the Jianghu. What are we searching for around here? If we’re not careful, we might bump into them.”
Cai Junhua frowned slightly and said to Su Peng.
After hearing this, Su Peng nodded and said: "Based on the situation, these people may be carrying out some activities, but they may not have the same purpose as ours. If we be careful and avoid their possible activities, there should be no big problem. ”
Cai Junhua and Liang Wei listened and nodded. Liang Wei said: "The location of the ruins is difficult to search. Junhua and I also determined the location of the secret realm through many documents. I think it shouldn't be so easy for these Jianghu people to find nearby. ."
Su Peng also agreed with this, and the three of them reached a consensus and continued 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 been served. These game dishes are not particularly luxurious. There are only six dishes in total, but the portions are very large, and they are all such as wild boar meat and python meat mountain mushrooms that are usually served in the market. The game and wild vegetables that are not available in the city taste very good, and Su Peng and the other two ate a lot.
At the end of the meal, the shopkeeper's wife who was out also came back and brought some dried meat and cured meat to Su Peng and others. They are all edible and can be regarded as food for entering the mountains.
After eating these things and preparing dried meat and the like, Su Peng and the other three entered the two rooms upstairs. After making an appointment for the online time tomorrow, they went offline together.
After Su Peng went offline, he logged into the Samsara website, gave his set of passwords for gold extraction to the guaranteed trader in Qixianju, and then went to rest.
At five o'clock the next morning, Su Peng and the other three were already online.
No too many words. The three of them stored their horses at the inn, and after giving the innkeeper some money for horse feed, the three of them entered the forest.
……
The road into the mountain is not easy to walk, but the three of them are all good in Qinggong. Even Liang Wei, the weakest in Qinggong, has 50% or 60% of Su Peng's Qinggong. It is a very difficult road for ordinary people. For the three of them, it was like walking on plain ground.
The speed of the three of them was not slow, with Cai Junhua and Liang Wei walking in front. The two of them entered the mountain from here last time. They were familiar with the roads and they were led from the front and hurried towards the mountain.
Su Peng followed the two of them. He had some energy left. Although the terrain in the forest was complicated, for someone who had practiced Qing Gong at Su Peng's level, it was almost a flat road.
The three of them hurried on so quickly.
Unconsciously, the three of them had been walking for seven or eight hours.
In these seven or eight hours. The three of them only rested once, ate something, and then continued walking until one or two o'clock in the afternoon. The three of them had gone seventy or eighty miles deep into the forest.
"Brother Qi, let's take a rest first."
At this time, the three of them had arrived near a creek in the forest, and Cai Junhua was already sweating slightly. He said to Su Peng.
Su Peng still had plenty of energy, but stopped to take care of Cai Junhua and his wife.
"Brother Qi. This virgin forest is like this. It is very large, almost as big as an entire state and county, and maybe even more. Most of them are mountain roads. The further you go into the forest, the harder it is to walk. We are here today. , I can walk almost one hundred and fifty miles, but I will only be able to walk sixty or seventy miles tomorrow. On the third day, I can walk fifty miles a day, which is fast."
Su Peng nodded. He also found that the surrounding environment was becoming more and more complicated. Not only was there no way to go, but there were also more and more various beasts, poisonous insects, pythons and the like in the forest.
"Let's go to the creek and have a rest first. Brother Cai, you bought water purification powder. Let's go to the creek to replenish the water bladders on our bodies, take a rest, and continue on our way."
Su Peng said to Cai Junhua and Liang Wei. The two men nodded and followed Su Peng towards the creek.
Generally speaking, the area near a stream in the forest can be considered a relatively dangerous place, because no matter what kind of animals they are, they come here to drink water, so it is not unusual to encounter anything.
With the martial arts skills of Su Peng and the others, even if they encounter a black bear or a tiger, the three of them will not be afraid.
But when the three of them reached the creek, they all frowned.
They found a tiger here in the creek.
If it were just an ordinary tiger, Su Peng and the others would not take it seriously. With the three people's current martial arts, dealing with a tiger would not be much more difficult than playing with a cat at home.
But the tiger near the creek was a dead tiger.
A tiger with its body separated.
Su Peng frowned slightly, walked over and looked at the tiger's body.
"Brother Cai, look at it. This tiger seems to have been dead for less than two days. It may be the overlord nearby. There are basically no animals coming to eat its body. And judging from the way it died, it is not that it was killed by other animals. He was killed, but his head was cut off by a martial arts master."
Su Peng squatted next to the dead tiger corpse and said to Cai Junhua.
Cai Junhua also walked over, took a look at the tiger corpse, nodded and said: "The person who did it is not low in martial arts. He only used one knife to kill the tiger. It seems that he has been immersed in this art for a long time." Knife master."
"Could it be one of the two groups of people in the world that the shopkeeper mentioned before at the Shenlin Town Inn?"
Liang Wei, standing behind, asked Su Peng and Cai Junhua.
"It's very possible... I came all the way today and didn't see any traces left by them. I thought they were not active along the way and had avoided them. But now it seems that these people seem to be walking with us. Yes, it’s a route..."
Su Peng squatted there, looked at the tiger corpse, and said to Cai Junhua and the other two.
