With the addition of Ming Dong, Jianchen's Flame Mercenaries basically gained a new member. In the past, he was not powerful enough, but now that Jianchen was a Great Saint Master and had the assistance of the sword spirits, he could even put up a fight against an Earth Saint Master. As a result, he needed to slowly develop the Flame Mercenaries.
Jianchen stayed in the village for two days. Two days later, Jianchen bid farewell to everyone in the village. He planned on leaving for a while.
Ming Dong continued to recuperate on his bed in the wooden hut. He stared at Jianchen who stood by the window and said, "Jianchen, once I've recovered, I'll be leaving the village. Where will I go to find you then?"
Jianchen sank into his thoughts when he heard that.
He said, "I've already used up all the medicine I have on me, so you can only rely on yourself to slowly recover. I estimate that you'll need around a month to fully recover. I'm leaving this time to deal with some personal matters. I'll be back in a few days or a month at most. Just stay here and recuperate." With that, Jianchen took out a Space Belt, eight Class 4 Monster Cores, and some purple crystal coins. He continued, "If I still haven't returned by the time you've recovered, you can cultivate here for now. With your talent and the assistance of Class 4 Monster Cores, your strength will increase relatively quickly. If I don't return after a long time, you can leave on your own."
Ming Dong immediately became stunned when he saw the eight Class 4 Monster Cores that Jianchen had taken out. Class 4 Monster Cores were relatively precious in his eyes. He had never used one before. Just a few days ago, he had almost lost his life for a single Class 4 Monster Core. Yet now, Jianchen had taken out eight Class 4 Monster Cores for him to cultivate. Ming Dong struggled to accept this for a moment.
A while later, Ming Dong sucked in a deep breath and slowly suppressed his excitement. He extended his trembling hand and accepted the items from Jianchen. He looked at Jianchen with mixed feelings and said, "I won't say words of thanks. Anyway, I'll remember your kindness." Ming Dong was a person who knew how to repay kindness. Not only had Jianchen saved his life, but he had also given him such precious items. At this moment, Ming Dong had already made up his mind to follow Jianchen from now on. This was because he knew very well that if he hadn't been saved by Jianchen, he probably wouldn't have been able to see the sun in the outside world. Furthermore, Jianchen was already a Great Sacred Master at such a young age. This also meant that Jianchen's talent in cultivation was much greater than his own. There was no harm in following someone like him.
After dealing with Ming Dong's matters, Jianchen didn't stay in the Huang Family Village any longer. Instead, he left the small village that he had lived in for over a month.
The Huang village was located in an extremely remote location. It was surrounded by mountains, so very few people could set foot in this place. According to Rothko and the old village chief's instructions, Jian Chen constantly traversed the mountains in a certain direction and made his way out.
During this period of time, Jianchen also discovered many small villages like the Huang Family Village. The Huang Family Village wasn't the only village in this mountain range.
Jianchen memorized the route of the Huang Family Village as he traveled. He wasn't going to leave the Huang Family Village forever. After taking care of everything, he was going to return here to meet up with Ming Dong again. However, it wasn't that easy to find a completely nondescript village in this mountain range. Hence, in order to ensure that he wouldn't get lost the next time he came here, Jianchen memorized the route of the Huang Family Village in his mind.
There were some wild beasts roaming the mountain range from time to time, but there were very few devilish beasts. Jianchen traveled through the mountain range at a normal speed for an entire day, but he only encountered two first-grade devilish beasts.
This mountain range was indeed very large. Jianchen didn't know where he had fallen into the cliff and been swept away by the river. He didn't know if he was still in the Blue Wind Kingdom.
Jianchen traveled through the mountain range until nightfall, and only then did he finally emerge from the mountain range and arrive at a flat plain. The bright moon hung high in the sky, casting down a vast expanse of pristine moonlight that dispelled much of the darkness.
Jianchen traveled through the night, but thankfully, he soon encountered a group of mercenaries who were camping out in the wilderness. There were over 20 tents set up, and there were several piles of firewood that were slowly burning, giving off bright light.
Jianchen slowly made his way toward the group of mercenaries that were camping out around 100 meters away. He didn't try to conceal his presence, so the sound of his footsteps stirring up some of the weeds on the ground quickly attracted the attention of some of the mercenaries who were on high alert.
"Who goes there?!" Suddenly, a loud shout was heard, and the voice was very loud, waking up some of the mercenaries who were sleeping soundly. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the originally quiet camp. A large number of people rushed out of their tents, and their faces were vigilant as they scanned the surroundings.
When the bright firelight illuminated Jianchen's body, the mercenaries immediately discovered Jianchen's figure, but when they discovered that Jianchen was alone, their tense nerves obviously relaxed a little.
"Who goes there, report your name!" Among the mercenaries, one of them immediately shouted at Jianchen.
Jianchen stopped when he was only 20 meters away from the group of mercenaries, and said: "I was just passing by this place, and I lost my way. I don't know if I can borrow your map."
Hearing this, the group of mercenaries looked at each other with a trace of surprise on their faces. Then one of them, who seemed to be the leader, said: "Where did you come from, where are you going?"
Jianchen hesitated for a moment, and said: "Before I answer this question, can you first tell me if this is the Blue Wind Kingdom?"
Hearing Jianchen's words, the group of mercenaries looked at Jianchen with eyes full of surprise.
"That's right, this is the Blue Wind Kingdom." This time, the one who answered Jianchen was a relatively thin mercenary in the group.
Hearing that they were still in the Blue Wind Kingdom, Jianchen's face suddenly showed a trace of happiness, and said: "That's great, this time I want to go to a third class city, Wake City. I don't know if you can tell me the direction, I will definitely thank you."
"What did you say? You actually want to go to Wake City?" When Jianchen's voice fell, a mercenary said in a surprised tone. The rest of the people also looked at Jianchen with strange expressions.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Jianchen's face showed a trace of confusion, and asked: "Is there a problem?"
"No problem, haha, we are also going to Wake City. I didn't expect that we would be going the same way." A person said with a laugh.
"Since we're all going to Wake City, why don't we go the same way? It's quite a distance from here to Wake City, and the road isn't safe. One more person means one more person." A tall and sturdy man said with a smile. His tone was very amiable.
"Leader is right, this place is very far from Wake City. If you want to go there by yourself, it won't be safe. Why don't we go together?" Another tall and sturdy man around 40 years old said.
