Chapter 1194 Encounter in the Forest

"Hey! Wake up, wake up!" Li Zhenbang yelled, pushing the young mercenary's shoulder lightly.

"Huh? Ah?" The young mercenary opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw Li Zhenbang, he sat up.

"Your heart is too big, right? I'm working hard in front, why are you still asleep here?" Li Zhenbang asked with a smile.

"Asleep? I shouldn't be asleep. I feel as if someone has knocked me out!" the young mercenary said with some uncertainty.

"Did you pass out? Impossible! If someone really knocked you out, how could you survive until now? Probably because you dreamed that someone beat you after you fell asleep." Li Zhenbang waved his hand in denial.

"After seeing so many beatings and killings, let alone being beaten in a dream, it is reasonable to be chased and killed even in a dream. As long as people are fine, it is better than anything." Li Zhenbang reassured.

"Maybe!" The young mercenary scratched his head, although he was still a little confused, what Li Zhenbang said was not unreasonable.

"By the way, did those mercenaries really run away?" There was some expectation in the eyes of the young mercenary. What he hoped was that when he fell asleep, those mercenaries would come back to help instead of fleeing shamelessly.

Li Zhenbang can naturally see what the young mercenary is thinking, but he still shakes his head realistically. He wants to tell the young mercenary that there is a difference between reality and ideals, and that reality is cruel.

"They're all a bunch of bastards!" The young mercenary couldn't help but cursed.

"Where are those men in black? How did you escape from them?" the young mercenary asked nervously.

"They seem to have encountered some urgent matter, and then they all ran away. It is estimated that those men in black who left before saw that they hadn't followed them for so long, so hurry up and call them away!" Li Zhenbang was not going to tell The truth about the young mercenary, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered to ask Moonlight to knock the young mercenary out first.

"Then why didn't they kill you?" The young mercenary looked at Li Zhenbang suspiciously.

"You want me to be killed that much?" Li Zhenbang raised his eyebrows, "Is it because you have no way to take me into the city of Haolixi, the holy capital?"

"How could I want you to be killed? You are my savior!" the young mercenary said excitedly.

"And I didn't lie to you. Although entering the city of Haolixi, the holy capital, can't be said to be a matter of grasping, it is difficult, but I will definitely find a way to help you enter the city!" The young mercenary's eyes were full of excitement. confidence,

Obviously, he is quite confident about entering the city.

Although Li Zhenbang had been to God's Blessing Alliance before, he was still very unfamiliar with God's Blessing Alliance, so he barely knew the direction. As for how to go, the young mercenaries led the way.

Along the way, the young mercenary was like a curious baby, asking this and that non-stop. Most of the questions Li Zhenbang answered with nonsense, and sometimes he really didn't know how to answer, so he simply chose to remain silent.

But along the way, Li Zhenbang knew a little bit about young mercenaries. Young mercenaries were from the dog clan, called Gou Xiaobing. Once they heard the name, they could not become high officials, but could only be soldiers for a lifetime.

Gou Xiaobing was born in a poor family. He is the eldest in the family. There are grandparents and parents on the top, four younger sisters and two younger brothers on the bottom.

It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the family early. This is indeed true. After Gou Xiaobing became sensible, he began to help his family with farm work and take care of his younger brothers and sisters.

Gou Xiaobing has no education, but he is willing to endure hardships. Although he is not interested in fighting, and even a little disgusted, in order to let his family live a good life, he made unremitting efforts and finally became a senior soldier and a servant. soldier.

Although he is just a new mercenary who runs the single gang, his income is much better than doing farm work and doing odd jobs. However, he is not satisfied with this. He has his own goals. He has to work hard to cultivate, and he is determined to become a black iron warrior as soon as possible. At that time, he can join some large-scale mercenary groups, and he will have a relatively stable income. .

After knowing Gou Xiaobing's thoughts, Li Zhenbang felt very emotional, and felt a little sympathy for Gou Xiaobing's life experience, and felt relieved that Gou Xiaobing did not give up on himself.

If Li Zhenbang was not born in the Red Maple Leaf family, but in an ordinary human family, if he was just an ordinary person, then he would most likely follow the path of Gou Xiaobing. With his status as a summoning beast mage, he is very likely to have a harder journey than Gou Xiaobing.

Although the number of summoned beast mages in this world is not as large as that of warriors, they are definitely more than the number of rectified magicians. But most people are not as good as an ordinary person who works hard, and the people who have really made a name for themselves can be counted on one hand.

Most summoned beast mages live like clowns and can only become the laughing stock of others. Summoning mages who don't have contracted summoned beasts seem to be gambling every time they summon, even they themselves don't know what they will summon.

Some underground casinos even specially hired some summoning beast mages, just to let others guess what they would summon, and it is said that the odds are not small.

"Are we going to Haolixi City?" Li Zhenbang asked with some doubts.

Although Li Zhenbang didn't know the way, he still had some sense of direction. Although Gou Xiaobing has been leading him across mountains and ridges, and often walks on sparsely populated paths, he can vaguely feel that the direction he is walking now should not be the direction of Haolixi City.

"Of course, I'm taking you on a small road. The road is not easy to walk, but the speed is fast! Didn't you keep saying that you want to hurry up?"

"Besides, there must be quite a few men in black ambushing on the main road now. What if we meet them again? There are still many people in my family waiting for me to go back. I don't want to just die without knowing why!" Gou Xiaobing explained.

After listening to Gou Xiaobing's explanation, Li Zhenbang nodded, what Gou Xiaobing said was not unreasonable. Those men in black were intercepting the trucks heading for Haolixi City on the main road, and he didn't want to run into them and cause trouble.

"Creak creak..." I don't know how long I walked, there was a strange sound in the distance, it sounded like something was crushing dead branches and leaves.

Li Zhenbang and Gou Xiaobing looked at each other, then hurriedly stopped, lowered their bodies, and hid behind a big tree beside them.

After a while, I saw more than a dozen people passing by in a hurry in the distance, and the creaking sound was made by them stepping on the fallen leaves in the forest.

"What's the situation? Why are there so many people?" Li Zhenbang asked softly.

I didn't see a single person along the way, but suddenly I saw a dozen or so at once, and everyone would inevitably have some murmurs in their hearts. What's more, these people are in a hurry, everyone is nervous, and they don't look like ordinary people on the road.

"I don't know either. There should be very few people who know this kind of road. How can so many people drive from here!" Gou Xiaobing frowned and shook his head lightly, looking equally puzzled.

"Then what should we do? Should we follow them secretly, or join them directly? If there is no accident, they should also go to Haolixi City!" Gou Xiaobing watched carefully for a while, then asked Li Zhenbang softly .

"Join them? Don't be kidding! Believe it or not, if you go out and be discovered by them now, not only will they not listen to your explanation, but they will chop you into minced meat immediately!" Li Zhenbang shook his head and vetoed Gou Xiaobing suggestion.

"Why? We were also on our way, but we just met by chance. Why did they attack us? Could it be that they are bandits?" Gou Xiaobing's eyes widened, he was startled by his guess.

In his eyes, there is no essential difference between bandits and men in black, they are both unreasonable and terrifying guys who kill and rob.

"They are not bandits, but if we appear so hastily, they may regard us as bandits." Li Zhenbang raised his eyebrows.

"Can't you?" Gou Xiaobing looked at Li Zhenbang puzzled.

As soon as Gou Xiaobing finished speaking, there was a sudden noise in the grass near those people, and then four people shot the crossbow arrows in their hands towards the grass in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a rabbit with a crossbow arrow stuck in its leg, and then limped and jumped towards the distance.

Those people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that there was a rabbit in the grass. As for the injured rabbit, no one paid any attention to it and continued to walk forward.

Gou Xiaobing swallowed with difficulty, secretly rejoicing in his heart that he was stopped, otherwise the crossbow arrow would probably hit him.

"You...how did you know?" Gou Xiaobing asked nervously.

"There are obviously a lot of them, but they choose to take this uninhabited and rugged path. Look at them, each of them is in a hurry, with a nervous look on their faces. Everyone's nerves are tense, and they are always paying attention to their surroundings. .Looking at how fast they are moving, they obviously know a lot about this area."

"You choose to go here, one is because it is near, and the other is because it is safe. They are familiar with this road, and they must also know that this place is safe, but they are still so nervous, which can only mean that either they have something to hide Secrets, or hiding from something."

"No matter what the reason is, as long as you go out and let them see you, you will definitely not be greeted with a warm greeting, but a fatal attack, just like the rabbit that suddenly appeared just now." Li Zhenbang explained patiently .

"So that's the case! I didn't expect you to find so many problems from these details just by looking at it a few times. You are really not simple!" Gou Xiaobing said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

"It's nothing, I still have a lot of things that are not simple!" Li Zhenbang smiled triumphantly with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Where are you going in a hurry?" Just as Li Zhenbang was about to continue bragging, a voice suddenly echoed in the forest...
