Chapter 258: Overnight

Haizhou is located in the southernmost part of the dynasty, with a vast territory and a sparse population. The land of one state is nearly as large as the two states in the Central Plains, but its population is less than that of one or two prosperous states.

There are only six counties in a large state, and each county is less than half of the county towns under it. The population of each city is also much smaller than that of other states.

The environment in Haizhou is different. The more you go east to the northern plain, the more streams, lakes, and the more you go west to south, there are dense mountains, hills, and the waters of the plain are extremely sparse.

Therefore, among the six counties in Haizhou, four counties are distributed in the northeast in fan shape, with only one county in the northwest direction, and only one county is established in the southern part of Haizhou, and the southern county is Nanshan County.

Nanshan County, meaning a county in the southern mountainous area, is named after its many mountains. It occupies 30% of Haizhou, but only five counties under its jurisdiction. Each county town is like a trick. In the dense mountainous areas, a county will be established only if it finds enough open plains and corresponding water sources.

Therefore, the distance between each county is not regular, and it depends entirely on the regional environment. The vast area of ​​Nanshan has caused the county to be extremely far apart. For example, Fuyu is only more than 100 miles away, while the far apart is Qingyang County, which is more than 600 miles away.

Jiang'an County is a moderate distance, nearly 300 miles away from the county town. The road is rugged and undulating, with high mountains and ridges on both sides. There are also two forests on the road, and wild animals often appear and are forced to cut the paths. It is the most troublesome place for road passengers and businessmen to travel.

These are the information Fang Chen learned from his travel notes and from people sent in advance. However, the information is very rough, and he needs to know the specific ones himself.

After Fang Chen left the city, he observed all the way and found that the truth was the same as in the information. Both sides of the road were mountains. This road was better than a valley path. Many areas could only barely accommodate two carriages in parallel, and traces of artificial widening could be seen in several places.

The road is quiet and tortuous, with insects and birds singing on both sides of the mountains and rivers, and occasionally you can even hear wild beasts roaring. Walking this path is indeed a test of your mind.

The disciples were quite active when they first left the city, but after walking for a while, they gradually became quiet and looked at the mountains and forests on both sides with uneasy feelings. Whenever they heard the roar of beasts, they would unconsciously tighten their bodies.

Fang Chen laughed secretly, and he was indeed a fledgling rookie, so he didn't give him any relief. The environment on this road was just enough to give them some tempering.

He was speechless until the evening approached and walked to a relatively open place. Niu Gang suddenly spoke, "Head of the Family!" and then looked at the side of the road.

"Hmm?" Fang Chen looked at it. It was a very wide open space. There were obvious signs of cleaning, dense wheel marks, burned fire ashes, piles of compacted dead grass, and there were two dark little Dutai in the middle of the open space.

Another caravan camping place, this is the second place. He estimated that the caravan would walk about seventy or eighty miles a day, and it should have exceeded one hundred and fifty miles here, and the journey was exactly half.

Fang Chen looked at the sky and said, "I'll take a rest here for one night, and I should be able to arrive in Jiang'an tomorrow."

Unless you are in a hurry to travel, you will not be able to get to Jiang'an. But if this is the case, it would be better to ride a horse, which will lose the meaning of "walking in the world". Sleeping in the wind and eating in the open is also a part of the world.

'call'

When all the disciples heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Although their cultivation was not too tired, they were still nervous and tired!

But before they could sit down and rest, Niu Gang was taken away again.

Niu Jian was rigorous and responsible, so he naturally did not miss any opportunity to teach his disciples. He immediately took them to check the environment, drive away insects and snakes, find water sources, set up alerts, etc., and personally guided them to survive in the wild.

After working hard for a long time, I finally sprinkled deworming powder around the camping and lit a bonfire before I gave up.

"Remember, insects and snakes in the wild are more terrifying than wild animals. With your strength, ordinary beasts can handle it easily, but insects and snakes are silent and will be bitten if they are not careful. If they are not poisonous, they will be fine, but at most they will be painful and itchy. But if they contain highly toxic, it will be unpredictable."

"Yes, the owner!" The disciples responded like good babies. In the past, they often saw in travel notes that a hero took the sky as his quilt and the earth as his mat, free and easy, heroic and heroic, and was so happy to be brave and righteous.

Now I realize that it is so dangerous in the wild and there are so many things to do in the night, which is completely different from the free and happy life they imagined.

"Okay, I'll have a rest early after eating dry food. I'll have to hurry up tomorrow morning." Niu Gang finished speaking and stopped caring about them, and took out the jerky meat and started eating it.

The disciples then dispersed and looked for a place to rest. They found the place but did not dare to sit down directly. They checked carefully several times. After confirming that there were no insects, they sat down carefully. However, the muscles of the legs were still tight, and they would immediately bounce up if they felt something was wrong.

Fang Chen was funny and ignored them. He hurriedly ate jerky meat and then lay down to practice.

The internal organ tempering is a little short of perfection. If the sea water pressure can be achieved in three or four months, it will be several times slower on land. But he did not neglect and would practice every day, without any relaxation.

Late at night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the bonfire is getting smaller

Niu Gang, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed away. He quietly held the iron stick on his side and turned his head to look at the head of the family. However, he found that the head of the family had sat up at some point, with a burning look at the dark and quiet forest, and an inexplicable smile was hanging on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing Niu Gang's gaze, Fang Chen turned his head and winked at him, then stood up and walked to the side.

Niu Gang hesitated for a moment, glanced at the mountain forest, and still stood up and followed.

One by one, one after another, Niu whispered, "Master, isn't this good? They're going out for the first time, and they are not very alert and have little experience in fighting. If there is an accident..."

Fang Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a group of wild wolves. The number is similar to that of them. I think there will be no ferocious beast-headed wolf. The divine power realm is smart and clear-headed, and the mind is sharp. Even if you don't have enough vigilance, you should be able to sense it when the wild wolves get close. If there is any accident, it would be too useless." After saying that, he hugged his chest with his hands and acted like watching the show.

Niu Gang smiled bitterly. Although the head of the family was right, it was too radical, right? He was not afraid of leaving a shadow on his disciples. He was afraid that he would not sleep well for a while.

But since the head of the family has decided, he doesn't have to say anything else, so he can only watch it with him.

Not long after, pairs of green eyes appeared around the camping site, surrounding the sleeping disciples, cautiously and slowly, with almost no sound, only a very slight "rustling" sound. If you don't listen carefully, you will think it is a sound of wind and wind.

Sun Hanyu, who was sleeping, frowned, as if she felt something, but she didn't care. She turned over and continued to sleep peacefully.

Niu Gang's eyelids twitched a few times, and he had the urge to catch her for some reason. Seeing the wolf pack approaching, the disciples did not respond, and he gradually became anxious.

"The head of the family..."

Fang Chen remained indifferent and said lightly: "Continue to watch!"
