Although the sun had not yet risen, the East was already bright.
A faint white morning mist floated around the mountain forest.
The sound of rapid hooves broke the silence of dawn.
A few startled birds flew out from the forest and circled around in the sky, chirping uneasily.
Soon, a group of knights riding black deer rushed out of the white mist.
The black deer were tall and strong, with slender and powerful limbs. Their figure was like a horse, but their body was lighter. Their gigantic antlers also made them stand out from the rest of the horses.
Even if they were carrying a knight, the black deer's movements were still very dexterous. They could easily jump over all kinds of obstacles and nimbly galloped through the mountain forest.
The knights riding the black deer were not so relaxed. Their faces were full of exhaustion.
This kind of black striped deer was originally a rank one demon beast. After being domesticated by humans, after several generations of hybridization, it could be ridden by humans.
The black striped deer's endurance was very strong, not inferior to a horse. Moreover, it was good at jumping and nimble. It was most suitable for riding in the mountain forest.
However, this kind of black striped deer was far less stable than a horse, and it was particularly bumpy when riding.
Although this team of soldiers was elite, after running for half a night, most of them could not hold on anymore.
In the middle of the team, Jun Hui also could not hold on anymore. He was a mage, and his physique could not be compared to a warrior.
"Let's take a break …" Jun Hui suggested.
Next to him, Wang He thought for a moment, "Okay, we will soon reach Fallen Leaf Lake, let's stop there."
"We are already five or six hundred li away from Tielin Sect, no need to be too anxious."
Jun Hui also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Wang He was the leader.
"About six hundred and fifty li."
Wang He nodded and gave a more accurate number. His bright black eyes flashed, and his face was full of vigor.
It could be seen that he still maintained his exuberant energy.
Jun Hui said with some envy, "You warriors have a good physique."
Wang He shook his head and said modestly, "This is nothing."
"Hehe …" Jun Hui laughed and said, "Among the two hundred thousand soldiers of Mount Jun, you are one of the few experts."
A bitter smile appeared on Wang He's face. "I used to think I was pretty good, and I was quite proud of myself. After last night's battle, I realized that I was really a frog at the bottom of a well. Sigh … "
Wang He was initially disdainful of Gao Zhengyang. Whether it was the legend of the massacre of the Howling Moon Valley or the name of the Shura Of Gojoseon, they were all ridiculous.
However, Gao Zhengyang's performance last night had completely crushed his confidence.
After being in the army for so many years, Wang He had seen countless experts, but he had never seen such a terrifying martial artist.
Wang He didn't even have the courage to fight. He decisively turned around and ran.
This decision that made him feel ashamed was extremely wise and decisive now that he thought about it.
Jun Hui was also silent. Last night, they were in a hurry to escape, so they weren't in the mood to chat.
At this time, speaking of Gao Zhengyang, Jun Hui was also full of emotions.
"That guy is indeed a monster," Jun Hui thought for a while and said, "However, the stronger he is, the more interested those people are. Gao Zhengyang will be unlucky sooner or later. "
Speaking of Gao Zhengyang, Jun Hui's tone also carried a bit of hatred.
Although they didn't meet face to face, Jun Hui felt that Gao Zhengyang ruined his big plan and scared him into fleeing. Naturally, he hated Gao Zhengyang.
Wang He didn't say anything, but his face became more gloomy.
Gao Zhengyang was too strong. Although they were strong in Mount Jun City, they might not be able to fight against Gao Zhengyang.
Moreover, in this kind of battle, the first to be unlucky would definitely be the people who ran errands.
Wang He had a headache. Guys like Jun Hui just wanted to see the world in chaos. But the other party was from the Jun Family, so he couldn't do anything.
He could only remind him, "Gao Zhengyang is too dangerous. We must be careful."
Jun Hui nodded and said, "Of course."
He paused and said, "However, he is only one person, so there will always be flaws. We can bribe, poison, assassinate, and use all kinds of spells. As long as the plan is careful, even a Heaven Stage warrior can be defeated. "
Wang He was speechless. This guy said it so easily.
There were people who successfully calculated Heaven Stage warriors, but that was only a small number.
Most of them failed in their calculations and suffered the revenge of a Heaven Rank powerhouse.
It was just that their positions were different, so their views were naturally different. Wang He also didn't want to say much to Jun Hui.
The black-striped deer moved very fast, and the soldiers leading the way were familiar with the road. Not long after, the group arrived at Fallen Leaf Lake.
Fallen Leaf Lake wasn't big, and it was surrounded by all kinds of giant trees. There were often all kinds of fallen leaves floating on the surface of the lake, so it got this name.
The strange thing was that the Fallen Leaf Lake didn't become dirty and smelly because of the accumulation of fallen leaves, but was especially clear and sweet.
Everyone untied their luggage and fetched water from the lake. The group of people ate dry food in the lake.
Although the cake was too hard and the dried meat was salty, Jun Hui still ate it with relish.
This night of fear, fleeing in panic, consumed a lot of mental and physical strength. He was already very hungry, so naturally, everything tasted good.
"I heard that Gao Zhengyang's methods are cruel, and he is very unpopular in the tribe."
Jun Hui ate some food and recovered some of his spirit. He said with some excitement, "The free market is completely open again, so it's too easy to go in. I heard that this person is very lecherous, and has a few Rabbit people women. We can send him a few beauties … "
"Good idea."
Wang He nodded and praised. He felt that this idea was good. Although women were weak, they could sometimes do great things. Most importantly, he didn't have to do anything.
Jun Hui said with some difficulty, "We have to cater to this kind of thing. I don't know if he likes the sexy ones or the innocent ones."
"I like the ones with big breasts and long legs." Suddenly, someone beside him answered.
As Jun Hui and Wang He were talking, the other soldiers had already dispersed. He didn't expect that someone would dare to talk.
Just as he was angry, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. This hoarse voice was too familiar.
"It's Gao Zhengyang's voice." Jun Hui thought for a while and immediately knew who the owner of the voice was. His face turned deathly pale.
Wang He, who was beside him, realized it even earlier. His back muscles were all tensed up, and his hand had already instinctively grabbed the long sword beside him.
At this time, the soldiers scattered around also realized that something was wrong. They all held their weapons and surrounded them.
Wang He led this group of elite soldiers. There were more than 20 of them, and they were all Martial Artists who were good at assassination and hunting. They were scouts who specialized in spying in the mountains of Eastern Wilderness.
Under normal circumstances, Wang He led such elite soldiers and dared to fight against a rank 6 Martial Artist.
But against Gao Zhengyang, he didn't have any confidence.
"Don't do anything." Wang He hurriedly shouted.
Last night, this group of elite soldiers received them from afar. They had never seen how terrifying Gao Zhengyang was. Wang He was afraid that his subordinates didn't know the severity of the situation and angered Gao Zhengyang.
This group of soldiers didn't know what was going on, but with Wang He's orders, no one dared to make a move.
Wang He slowly stood up and turned around. He saw Gao Zhengyang standing seven to eight feet away. The golden armor on his body was gone, and he was only wearing a black linen robe and hemp shoes.
He looked very relaxed, as if he was just taking a stroll here.
"Master Gao." Wang He cupped his fists and greeted him politely.
Jun Hui stood up as well. He looked at Gao Zhengyang nervously. His right hand held a black short sword that was about a foot long.
The black sword was engraved with all kinds of runes and the energy waves were strong. It was obviously a Dharma artifact.
Gao Zhengyang looked at the short sword but didn't care. No Dharma artifact could change the fate of these few people.
"There were a lot of things going on last night. Sorry for neglecting you two."
Gao Zhengyang smiled and said, "How do I address you two, and why are you looking for me?"
Wang He and Jun Hui looked at each other. Gao Zhengyang seemed to be very polite, but both of them knew that if they didn't answer well, the other party would become hostile and attack.
But their identities were secrets. How much to say and how much to say was a problem.
Time was too tight. Wang He and Jun Hui couldn't discuss it. They could only exchange a simple look.
Wang He didn't trust Jun Hui. He said, "Gao, we are from the Iron Wall of Junshan City. The Wolf people have been helping us to provide the black-striped antler deer and have some cooperation with us. Yesterday, it was the Wolf people who invited us to watch the battle. "
Since Gao Zhengyang had chased them, Wang He knew that it was useless to deny it. He simply admitted that they had a relationship with the Wolf people.
Wang He hurriedly explained, "We have no intention of going against Gao. So, we just watched and sternly refused the Wolf people's request for us to attack. For fear that you would misunderstand, we didn't dare to meet you and left early. "
"Oh." Gao Zhengyang raised his long black eyebrows and asked, "That's it?"
"That's it. There is no other meaning. "Wang He promised with the most respectful and sincere attitude.
The surrounding soldiers were all surprised. Wang He had always been capable and decisive. He was very arrogant. They had never seen Wang He be so respectful to anyone. It was simply groveling.
"Iron Wall … I have never heard of it."
Gao Zhengyang said to himself and said to Wang He, "What's your name? Who are you with?"
Wang He was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to lose his temper. He could only force a smile and explain, "Iron Wall is the garrison of the imperial court in Junshan City. They are responsible for guarding the border of the Eastern Wilderness. Our marshal is Jun Mingye. He is also the governor of Junshan City. My name is Wang He. I am a guerrilla commander in Iron Wall. "
Gao Zhengyang knew that guerrilla commander was a military rank. In terms of rank, it was much higher than a thousand people. He was qualified to lead an army of ten thousand people.
Although the person in front of him looked humble, he was a high-ranking official in Iron Wall.
Gao Zhengyang didn't express his opinion. He said to Jun Hui, "Then what do you do?"
Gao Zhengyang's tone was casual and not polite. Jun Hui hated him in his heart, but he could only endure it.
Afraid that Jun Hui would be impulsive, Wang He hurriedly said, "He is a sorcerer of our Iron Wall Magician Regiment."
He then smiled apologetically, "Our Iron Wall has always been in close contact with the Eastern Wilderness. Gao, we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future. For example, if the Tielin Sect needs armor and weapons, we can provide some support. Also, food and salt can be sold to Gao at a low price this time … "
"Well said."
