After bidding farewell to Qin Zhuo and Qin Han, the caravan set off with Qin Lang leading the way. Just as they left the city gates, they saw Wu Qing waiting by the roadside with a dozen beast warriors and warriors. Seeing Luo Jie's caravan, he welcomed them with a smile. Qi Nanshan waved his hand and said, "Follow them!"
Qin Lang squeezed the horse's belly and shouted, "Speed up! Speed up! "
Guo Shier rode the Big Black Horse and followed the caravan. The feeling of being as fast as lightning was really great.
Two days later, the caravan arrived at the Horizontal Pass. The Horizontal Pass was very similar to the Savage Pass, located between two mountains. After passing through a valley, they arrived at the bottom of the Horizontal Pass's walls.
The Horizontal Pass was an important traffic pass, guarded by the North Fu Men's disciples. These disciples had a rotation system. Disciples going to the grasslands to train often passed by here, and there were also many caravans coming in and out of the pass.
Entering and exiting the Horizontal Pass had to be registered, but Luo Jie and the rest did not have to worry about this. Qin Lang and a few of his subordinates quickly completed the registration. A few hours later, the caravan entered the grasslands.
At first, they could still see the caravans of the merchants, but Qin Lang quickly led the caravan away from the normal trade routes and into the vast grasslands. He chose a closer path, but this path required a certain amount of force as a guarantee.
Guo Shier realized that the grasslands here were different from the grasslands of his previous life. The weeds were very lush. If a person stood on the grass, only their upper body could be seen, and he could only show his head. Unless he was riding on a horse, he could not see the scenery in front of him.
Not only was the grasslands covered with lush weeds, but there were also patches of verdant forests. However, because the area was small, one could see the end of the forest from the back of a horse. Many unknown birds were circling in the azure sky. Thousands of birds gathered and scattered, covering the sky when they gathered. It was a spectacular sight.
There were many herbivores like bison and antelope on the grasslands, some of which Guo Shier did not know the names of. When their caravan galloped past, countless birds and beasts fled in all directions. He also saw some wild dogs. It was late autumn, and the wild dogs were extremely fat, each as strong as a calf.
Wild dogs were ferocious animals on the grasslands, but they did not dare to provoke humans, especially the caravan. When they saw the caravan, their first thought was to run far away. Because for thousands of years, who knew how many wild dogs that dared to attack humans had been killed. Gradually, they developed a deep fear of humans. When they saw humans and their horses, they would instinctively stay far away.
Galloping all the way, they could not tell directions. It was easy to get lost on the grasslands.
Along, Qi Nanshan rushed to Qin and asked loudly, "No rest at noon?"
Qin Lang said, "There's no time to rest, so we can only eat some rations on the horse. We must reach the southern castle ruins before evening. It's safer there, so we can relax and rest."
Qi Nanshan knew the horrors of the grasslands at night. He nodded and said, "You make the arrangements!"
There were Army of about at night. Lang. Qing, except Guo Shen Qing and La, Lang, Li, Qin, and said, Guo, Lang, and said, "Shan, I, Lang.," Qin, Lang, Qing, Li, Lang, Lang, Qing, and Qing, Li, and, Lang, Qing,
There were more than 30 people in the team, and there were hundreds of warhorses. Except for Guo Twelfth's child, the others were all experienced and powerful professionals. Only this kind of group would dare to take the route that Qin Lang chose, and not the route that the merchant caravans took. This was because they had great mobility and valiant martial strength.
…
In the evening, the South Castle finally appeared on the horizon.
"Is that the South Castle?"
Guo Shier looked curiously at the huge tower in the distance that had half collapsed.
After a day of galloping, the warhorses were drenched in sweat and snorting non-stop. The sound of their heavy breaths mixed into one. Qin Lang said, "Everyone, be careful. There are often wandering caravans in the South Castle. We should try not to have any conflict with them."
Guo Shier asked, "Master, what is a wandering caravan?"
Luo Jie said, "A wandering caravan is made up of professionals who don't have a home. They are a group of people who roll on the line between life and death. They are the best at killing and ignore death. They are also the fastest to die. Those who can survive are all masters. They can even challenge high-level professionals …"
Guo Shier broke into a cold sweat and said, "How can they be so powerful?"
Qi Nanshan said, "If you are allowed to kill all day long, you will also become powerful. But the premise is that you can survive."
Guo Shier shook his head and said, "I don't want to die. Well, where do these people come from?"
Luo Jie said, "Their origins are more complicated. Some are Wandering Talisman Martial Masters who have lost their masters, some are Curse Warriors who have lost their companions, and most of them are professionals who have been expelled by their families or sects. There are also some who are disciples of sects who have come out to train in order to improve their strength … It's very complicated. In the Wandering Team, no one will ask about each other's background."
Guo Shier asked, "Are there many of these caravan caravans?"
Luo Jie said, "Many, very many … Not only in the grassland, but also in the Far North Wasteland outside the North Fu Men. They believe in 'strength is the most important thing, killing is the most important thing'. If they don't agree with each other, they will draw their swords against each other … This is very common, hehe. But they usually don't bully people. As long as you don't provoke them, there won't be a big problem. But there are also lunatics among them. They are the kind of lunatics who will draw their swords and kill people if they don't like them."
Qi Nanshan laughed and said, "Those lunatics usually don't live long, because most of the wandering professionals are not willing to form a caravan with such lunatics. It is too dangerous."
Guo Shier said, "Aren't they not afraid of death?"
Luo Jie laughed and said, "Not afraid of death doesn't mean they are willing to die. With such a lunatic in the caravan, everyone's safety can't be guaranteed."
Guo Shier asked, "Will we meet such a caravan in the South Castle?"
Qi Nanshan said, "One hundred percent. This is the first stop after entering the grassland, and also the last stop after returning from the grassland. Therefore, it is a very lively place."
Qin Lang said, "The South Castle has a special area for the wandering caravans. Hehe, Shier, as long as we don't offend them, there won't be any problems. Moreover, the wandering caravans often have some strange items for sale. Like us, they also need to use talisman money to support the caravan."
Soon, the South Castle was right in front of them. It was an abandoned castle that covered a large area. Although half of the walls had collapsed, it was still a good place to rest in the grassland. There were more than ten wells in the castle, but only about five of them could be used.
After entering the castle, he saw a few bonfires with a group of people surrounding them. Qin Lang brought everyone to a well and said, "Let's rest here today. Sir, I'll start a fire and cook."
Luo Jie laughed and said, "You're in charge of starting the fire. Shier and the others can cook." He was already used to Guo Shier's cooking. It tasted much better than boiled meat.
Guo Shier nodded and said, "Let's eat barbecue today. Uncle Luo, bring some people to hunt three bison. When I came in, I saw a herd of bison in the southwest direction. Hurry up, it's getting dark. "Luo Zhan called out and brought a few talisman martial masters out of the castle on horseback.
Qin Lang ordered his men to cut down trees in the small forest outside. It was already late autumn, and there were many withered weeds and trees. After a while, a lot of them were transported back.
Guo Shier set up the withered trees and weeds and started a fire. Before the sky was completely dark, Luo Zhan and the others dragged four fat bison back.
Everyone started to peel and cut open the bison. Guo Shier set up a large copper pot and used the bison bones to boil soup. He also took out a special grill and propped up the three bison to start barbecuing. This was definitely physical work. Guo Shier was in charge. He had a group of strong men under him and did not care about the weight of the bison at all.
After half an hour of barbecuing, a strong smell of meat permeated the air. From time to time, people would peek in this direction. They were all people who were attracted by the smell of meat.
Guo Shier first arranged everyone's food and then brought his four companions to the side. He took out a rectangular grill that was made according to his memories from his previous life. He took out a pile of burned charcoal and a bunch of copper skewers and said, "Come, there's still a bison here. Let's make our own barbecue skewers."
Chen Hong started the fire and the others skewered the meat. Guo Shier was in charge of barbecuing the meat. He took out his secret condiments and started to barbecue the beef kebabs excitedly.
This was his first time making barbecue skewers in this world. Huo Bao only took one bite and could not help but exclaim, "Hey, it's delicious … Oh, it's too delicious …"
Chen Bing grabbed a barbecue skewer and took a bite. Immediately, her eyes widened. She did not have time to speak and just ate like a madman.
Luo Jie saw Guo Shier and his four companions running to the side to eat. He knew that they had some tricks up their sleeves. When the smell of barbecued meat wafted over, he could not help but sneak over. Qi Nanshan was in charge of Luo Jie's safety. Of course, he knew about the old man's actions and quietly followed.
"Shier, what delicious food are you cooking this time?"
Guo Shier smiled as he handed over a few barbecued meat skewers. Just as Luo Jie held them in his hands, a large hand reached out from the side and grabbed two skewers. "Let me try Shier's cooking …" The meat skewers were very big. Each piece of meat was the size of a fist. Qi Nanshan fiercely bit off a piece and tasted it. Then he praised, "Shier, you're actually … actually … so delicious!"
Luo Jie took a bite and was also surprised. Barbecued meat skewers were different from barbecued beef. The taste was more delicious and the meat was more tender.
Almost every few skewers were snatched away. Guo Shier could not eat at all. He helplessly said, "Hey, leave a few skewers for me …"
Everyone could not help but laugh. Just then, Guo Shier finished barbecuing more than ten skewers, but they were immediately snatched away by a few hands. Guo Shier suddenly raised his head and saw a sloppy man with two barbecued meat skewers in his hands. He could not help but be surprised and asked, "Who are you?"
That man did not pay attention to him at all. He took a bite of the barbecued meat and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls. Immediately, his eyes widened. He had probably never eaten such delicious food before. After devouring the two skewers like a tornado, he looked at Guo Shier with eager eyes.
Guo Shier himself did not know what was going on. He just handed over the two skewers that he had just barbecued.
