Chapter 130 Reunion on the Road

According to Fang Yue's understanding, the road under his feet should be the main road called Chaoyang Road. The width of the road was far from comparable to the village roads in the Black Green Mountain range.

In addition, as a main road, this road had many branch paths, spreading out in all directions.

Basically, there would be a fork in the road every so often.

This made Fang Yue a little lost. Even though he had been looking at the road signs all the way, he often took the wrong path and confused himself.

Just when Fang Yue was hungry, tired, and sleepy, he finally saw people.

It was a merchant team, only five people, yet they dared to walk on the village road.

His face lit up with joy, and Fang Yue hurried up.

As a result, before he even reached them, the five people on the other side all changed their expressions drastically and took out their weapons, showing that they all had some skills.

Fang Yue then realized that he had been a little rash.

He looked down at his body, which was pitted and uneven, as if it had been chewed by a dog. Some places even had exposed bones.

The injuries alone were frightening to look at, coupled with his tattered clothes, disheveled hair, and listless appearance.

If Fang Yue saw such a figure coming in the wild, he would also treat him as a monster.

The fact that these five people hadn't attacked meant they were able to hold their breath.

After a slight pause, Fang Yue said with a dry laugh, "Hello, I am a Qingwei from the Black Green Mountain range. I was attacked by a monster, which is why I became like this."

"From the Black Green Mountain range?"

The five people looked at each other. They first cast a Ceguifu (side monster talisman) on Fang Yue to confirm that he was not a monster, before discussing it among themselves.

After a while, the leading man finally said warily, "We don't want to have any interaction with you, nor will we take you in."

The wilderness was always dangerous.

The danger came not only from monsters, but also from their own kind!

The leading man was obviously very experienced, and his decision was very reasonable.

However…

"You've misunderstood, everyone. I just want to ask for directions."

Ask for directions?

The expressions of the five people softened a lot.

If it was just asking for directions, that wouldn't be a problem.

However, when Fang Yue asked how to get to Chu Nuan City, the expressions of the five people became somewhat subtle.

A girl with a single ponytail couldn't help but ask, "Are you here to compete in the arena too?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the leading man immediately tugged at the ponytail girl.

"Shui Mei!"

The leading man frowned and scolded her.

The ponytail girl stuck out her tongue and hid behind someone else with a giggle.

Seeing this, the leading man turned to look at Fang Yue and cupped his fist.

"This Qingwei brother, my name is Pi Sanwei. If you want to go to Chu Nuan City, I can give you a map. If you follow the map, you can find the location of Chu Nuan City."

Fang Yue was depressed.

He had seen the map, and he knew the approximate terrain and cities around the Black Green Mountain range.

The problem was that even if he knew the map, he couldn't find the way.

In an unfamiliar environment, having a map was useless.

However, since the other party had already said this, Fang Yue couldn't force anything.

These people were obviously afraid of getting into trouble and didn't want to have any connection with him. Fang Yue could understand this kind of mentality.

He cupped his fist, took the map, left a black stone, and left in the shocked expressions of the five people.

After Fang Yue left, Shui Mei grabbed the black stone from Pi Sanwei's hand.

"Senior Brother Pi, a black stone! He actually gave us a black stone just like that! Isn't that too generous!"

"Well… it's simply the behavior of a local tyrant…"

"You mean the silly son of a landlord, giggle! I wish we were so rich too… By the way, Senior Brother Pi, why didn't you let him travel with us? We're also going to Chu Nuan City to compete in the arena, it's just along the way."

"When you're out and about, caution is the most important thing. The five of us are all outer disciples of the Black Road Sect, we're from the same sect and have a good personal relationship, so we can naturally travel together. But we must always be vigilant towards outsiders. A strange person like him, with such serious injuries, is best avoided if possible."

"Oh…"

Shui Mei looked thoughtful, but in reality, her mind was blank and she didn't understand at all.

Pi Sanzai shook his head slightly and didn't say anything. With them around, it was fine for Shui Mei to be a little naive.

The encounter with Fang Yue was just a small episode.

The five people chatted for a while and forgot about it, continuing along the official road.

Suddenly, Pi Sanzai's expression changed.

Rumble…

Rumble…

The ground suddenly began to vibrate, as if something was rapidly approaching.

"Get into formation!"

With a low shout, the five people quickly took their positions, but everyone looked nervous. Obviously, they didn't have much experience encountering monsters in the wild.

As the source of the sound gradually approached, the five people's expressions changed drastically.

They saw nearly a hundred monsters rushing towards them in a dark mass.

Each one was at least at the middle stage of the Black Rank.

They should know that among the five of them, only Pi Sanzai had the strength of the Second-Rate Realm of Acquired talent!

The pressure resistance of their team was at most equivalent to a Black Rank Initial Stage monster. Anything above that would result in death.

"Run!!"

Pi Sanzai shouted loudly, leading the four to escape.

However, their speed was no match for the monster horde.

With a drastic change in expression, Pi Sanzai told them to quickly fight together.

Shui Mei screamed in fright, and the other three also turned pale, their palms and backs covered in cold sweat.

Only Pi Sanzai managed to maintain his composure.

Everyone thought that a life-and-death battle was about to begin.

However…

When the monster horde approached, they actually passed by them, as if they couldn't see them at all.

"Wha, what's going on!?"

"They didn't attack us?"

"Strange, are there such good monsters in the monster world?"

While the few people were whispering, they saw the monster horde, which had been gathered together, suddenly seem to exceed a certain range, losing some kind of connection. Many monsters stood still in place.

Some continued to run forward according to inertia.

Still others, like a humanoid monster with its limbs twisted in opposite directions, slowly twisted its neck, rotating it one hundred and eighty degrees, and looked at the five people who had relaxed.

In an instant of movement…

*Kacha!*

The short youth among the five, who had been talking just a second ago, had his neck broken in the next second.

Everything happened too fast. Pi Sanzai and the others only felt a gust of wind, and their companion had already lost his life.

"Ah… ah ah ah ah!"

Shui Mei screamed, and Pi Sanzai began to roar as he prepared to fight.

The sound of screaming immediately attracted the attention of all the other monsters.

The group, which had originally only needed to deal with one monster, immediately had to face nearly a hundred monsters!

In an instant, everyone turned pale, and a fat man in the group quickly covered Shui Mei's mouth.

But Shui Mei was still screaming, obviously mentally broken by the fright.

Having always lived in a comfortable environment, how could she have imagined that her fellow disciples, who were happily chatting together just a second ago, would be lying flat in the next second.
