Chapter 1179: Encounter in the forest

"Hey! Wake up, wake up!" Li Zhenbang gently pushed the young mercenary's shoulders and shouted.
"Huh? Huh?" The young mercenary opened his eyes in a daze. When he saw Li Zhenbang, he sat up.
"Your heart is too big, right? I worked 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 I was knocked out!" The young mercenary said with some uncertainty.
"I fainted? Impossible! If someone fainted you, how could you survive until now? It is estimated that someone beat you in a dream after you fell asleep." Li Zhenbang waved his hand in denial.
"After watching so many fights and killings, let alone dreaming of being beaten, it is reasonable to dream of being chased and killed, as long as people are better than anything." Li Zhenbang said with relief.
"Maybe so!" The young mercenary scratched his head. Although he was still a little confused, what Li Zhenbang said was not unreasonable.
"By the way, did the mercenaries really run away?" The young mercenary had some expectation in his eyes. What he hoped was that when he fell asleep, the mercenaries would come back to help instead of running away shamelessly.
Li Zhenbang can naturally see the young mercenary’s thoughts, but he still shook his head realistically. He wanted to tell the young mercenaries that reality and ideals are different, and reality is cruel.
"It's all a bunch of bastards!" The young mercenary couldn't help but yelled.
"What about the men in black? How did you escape from them?" the young mercenary asked nervously.
"They seem to have encountered something urgent, and then they all ran away. It is estimated that the people in black who walked away saw that they hadn't followed for so long. Call them away in a hurry!" Li Zhenbang was not prepared to tell. The truth about the young mercenary, otherwise he wouldn't have to let Moonlight go and stun the young mercenary first.
"Then why didn't they kill you?" The young mercenary looked at Li Zhenbang suspiciously.
"That's how you want me to be killed?" Li Zhenbang raised his eyebrows, "You can't bring me into the Holy City of Haolixi City, right?"
"How could I hope you were killed? You are my savior!" the young mercenary said excitedly.
"And I didn't lie to you either. Although entering the Holy City Haolixi City can't be said to be a matter of grasping, it is a certain degree of difficulty, but I will definitely find a way to help you enter the city!" The young mercenary's eyes are full of Confidence, obviously he was quite confident about entering the city.
Although Li Zhenbang had been to the Divine Blessing Alliance, he was still very unfamiliar with the Divine Blessing Alliance, and he barely knew a direction. As for how to go, young mercenaries led the way.
Along the way, the young mercenary was like a curious baby. He kept asking this and that. Most of the questions Li Zhenbang dealt with were nonsense. Sometimes he didn't know how to answer, so he simply chose to be silent.
However, along the way, Li Zhenbang knew a little bit about young mercenaries. The young mercenaries were from the dog tribe, called Gou Xiaobing, who couldn't be a high-ranking official by his name, and could only be a small soldier for a lifetime.
Gou Xiaobing was born in a poor family. He is the eldest of 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 their homes early. This is true. After Gou Xiaobing was sensible, he began to help his family with farm work and take care of his younger siblings.
Gou Xiaobing has no culture, but he is willing to endure hardships. Although he is not interested in fighting, and even a little disgusted, he worked tirelessly to make his family live a good life and eventually became a senior soldier and a servant. Soldiers.
Although he is just a new mercenary who runs solo, 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 cultivate hard and aspire to become a dark iron warrior as soon as possible. Then he can join some large-scale mercenary groups and have a relatively stable income. .
After knowing Gou Xiaobing's thoughts, Li Zhenbang felt very moved in his heart. He felt a little sympathy for Gou Xiaobing's life experience, and was gratified for Gou Xiaobing's refusal to abandon 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 it is very likely that he would also embark on the path of Gou Xiaobing. With the identity of his summoning beast mage, he is very likely to walk more difficult than Gou Xiaobing.
Although the number of summoned beast wizards in this world is not as large as that of warriors, there are definitely more wizards than those who are correct. However, most people are not as good as an ordinary person who works hard, and the people who really make a name are counted with one hand.
Most summoned beast wizards live like clowns and can only be the jokes of others. The summoned beast mage without contract summoned beasts, every time they are summoned, they seem to be gambling, and they don't even know what they will summon.
Some underground casinos even hired some summoned beast mages specifically to make others guess what they will summon. It is said that the odds are not small.
"Are we going to Haolixi City?" Li Zhenbang asked with some confusion.
Although Li Zhenbang doesn't know the road, he still has some sense of direction. Although Gou Xiaobing had been taking him through mountains and ridges, often walking on sparsely populated paths, he could vaguely feel that the direction he was walking should not be the direction of Bright City.
"Of course it is. I am taking you on a small road now. The road is not easy, but it is fast! Don't you always say that you want to hurry up?"
"Moreover, there must be a lot of people in black ambush on the road right now. What if I run into them again? There are still many people in my family waiting for me to go back. I don't want to just die unclearly!" Gou The soldier explained.
After listening to Gou Xiaobing's explanation, Li Zhenbang nodded, and Gou Xiaobing's words were not unreasonable. The people in black were intercepting the trucks rushing to Haolixi City on the main road, and he didn't want to run into trouble.
"Crack creak..." I don't know how long I have been walking, there was a strange sound in the distance, and the sound seemed to be crushing dead branches and leaves.
Li Zhenbang and Gou Xiaobing glanced at each other, hurriedly stopped, lowered themselves, and hid behind the big tree aside.
After a while, I saw a dozen people hurriedly passing by in the distance, and the creaking sound was made by them stepping on the fallen leaves in the forest.
"What's the situation? How come there are so many people?" Li Zhenbang asked softly.
I didn't see a single figure along the way, and when I saw a dozen or so at once, everyone would inevitably make some whispers in their hearts. What's more, these people walked in a hurry, everyone was nervous, and they didn't look like ordinary hurrying.
"I don't know. There are very few people who know this kind of road. How can so many people rush from here!" Gou Xiaobing frowned and shook his head slightly, seemingly puzzled as well.
"Then what shall we do? Should we follow them secretly, or join them directly? If no accident, they should have also rushed to Haolixi City!" Gou Xiaobing watched carefully for a while, and then asked Li Zhenbang softly. .
"Join them? Don't be kidding! Believe it or not, if you go out now and be discovered by them, they will not listen to your explanation, but they will chop you into meat as soon as possible!" Li Zhenbang shook his head and vetoed Gou Xiaobing Suggestions.
"Why? We were also on the road, but we just happened to meet him. Why did they attack us? Could it be that they were bandits?" Gou Xiaobing's eyes widened, and he was startled by his own guess.
There is no essential difference between the bandit and the man in black in his eyes. They are both unreasonable and unreasonable terrorists.
"They are not bandits, but if we appear so hastily, they might treat us as bandits." Li Zhenbang raised his eyebrows.
"No?" Gou Xiaobing looked at Li Zhenbang in confusion.
As soon as Gou Xiaobing's voice fell, there was a sudden noise in the grass close to those people, and then the four people instantly shot the crossbow arrows in their hands toward the grass.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a crossbow arrow stuck in the leg of a rabbit, and then limply jumping towards the distance.
When those people saw that it was a rabbit in the grass, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As for the injured rabbit, no one paid any attention to it and continued to walk forward.
Gou Xiaobing swallowed hard, secretly rejoicing in his heart, but fortunately he was stopped, otherwise the crossbow arrow would probably be shot at him.
"You...how did you know?" Gou Xiaobing asked nervously.
"There are obviously a lot of them, but they choose to take this rugged and uninhabited road. Look at them, one by one, they are walking in a hurry, with a nervous look, everyone's nerves are tense, and they are always paying attention to their surroundings. Looking at how fast they are moving, they obviously have a better understanding of this area."
"You choose to walk here, one is because it is close, and the other is because it is safe. They are familiar with this road and they must know that it is safe, but they are still so nervous and can only show that there is something ulterior to them. Secret, or just avoiding something."
"Regardless of the reason, as long as you go out and let them see, the one who greets you will never be an enthusiastic greeting, but a life-threatening attack, just like the rabbit that suddenly appeared just now." Li Zhenbang explained patiently .
"It turned out to be like this! I didn't expect that you could find so many problems from these details just by just looking at it. It's really not easy for you!" Gou Xiaobing said with sincere emotion.
"It's nothing, there are so many things that are not easy for me!" Li Zhenbang's mouth raised slightly, and he smiled triumphantly.
"Where are you in a hurry?" Just when Li Zhenbang was about to continue bragging, suddenly a voice echoed in the forest...
