Tiger Roars in China
Chapter 496 Arrow
Li Meng let out a long breath and said, "Let's go!"
Along the way, Yu Deshui and Hu Daqiu had greeted each other, so Li Meng and the others had a smooth journey and soon arrived at the Huyue River.
In this section, the Huyue River flows gently and has a wide surface because it is connected to Guishan Lake.
If you want to cross the river, you need a ferry.
Of course, wherever there is a demand, there will be a profession.
At this ferry, there is an old boatman who ferries people here all year round regardless of rain or shine.
Since Li Meng is pretending to be a businessman, of course he has to behave like a businessman.
After bargaining with the old boatman for a long time, he finally got all the carriages onto the boat.
Fortunately, the old boatman's boat was big enough, because most of the people heading north from here were merchants, all carrying goods.
Shuiyue's figure and appearance were too attractive, so she wore a loose robe and a mask to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The old boatman was quite old. While rowing the boat, he chatted with Li Meng, "Sir, is this your first time to Shengzhou?"
Li Meng pretended to be surprised and asked, "Old man, how did you know?"
The old boatman shook his beard and said slowly, "Shengzhou is very chaotic, thieves are rampant, and the locals are barbaric. Merchants who go there all bring bodyguards with them, and never bring their wives with them."
Li Meng deliberately glanced at Shuiyue and said to the old boatman, "Old man, my wife's kung fu is really good. She is both my wife and my bodyguard..."
While the two were chatting, the ferry had already docked.
Originally, Li Meng thought that there would be soldiers guarding the crossroads fortress on the border between the two states.
But when I got ashore, I saw overgrown grass and a desolate scene. It was a vast, uninhabited prairie that stretched all the way to the north to the horizon, but there was no sign of human habitation at all.
Now, Li Meng was dumbfounded.
He looked back at Shuiyue and asked, "Shuiyue, what is the name of the first city in the south of Shengzhou?"
Shuiyue rolled her eyes at Li Meng and said, "Tumu City."
With Li Meng's superhuman memory, how could he not remember the name of the city? He was just making small talk.
Li Meng, "Why is it called Tumu City?"
Shuiyue, "Because there is a lack of stone materials on this grassland, the entire city is built with earth and wood, so it is called Tumu City."
Li Meng, "This city in Shengzhou is really strange, it is called a Tumu City if it is built with earth and wood.
If it is built with stone, shouldn’t it be called Stone City? "
Shuiyue, "You know what, there really is a stone city in this Holy State, near the ice field..."
The two of them walked behind the carriage while talking.
The world is so vast and the scenery on the grassland is so beautiful. It would be a waste to sit in the carriage without appreciating it.
So the two of them simply followed the carriage on foot.
Although Shuiyue is plump, she has already entered the holy realm and is able to fly in the air.
Even walking doesn't require much effort.
As for Li Meng, he was originally here for experience, but sitting in the carriage made the experience meaningless.
At the beginning, there were paths on the grassland trampled by people and livestock.
But as they went deeper and deeper, the paths became more and more confusing, and later they could no longer be distinguished at all.
They had been walking on the prairie for five days, and not only did they not see any human beings, they also rarely saw any wild animals.
Fortunately, the food Han Wen prepared for them was sufficient, so they did not starve.
Besides, they have already reached the holy realm and can practice fasting long ago. Even if they don’t eat for a month, it will not have any effect on them.
From the next day, Shuiyue no longer walked with Li Meng because she really couldn't afford to walk.
When I first saw this vast grassland, I felt a little fresh.
But after looking at it, there is nothing but grass and grass. If you look at it any more, you will get aesthetic fatigue.
It would be both tiring and stupid to walk on foot instead of riding in a carriage.
Shuiyue is a great beauty, how could she do such a stupid thing?
So the next day, she stayed in the carriage and refused to get off.
Li Meng also felt a little strange. Could it be that he had sex with her a few more times when they were sleeping at night and Shuiyue couldn't bear it?
That's impossible? Aren't men the ones doing the hard work in such things?
Shuiyue didn't want to leave, so Li Meng let her go.
Since Li Meng is carrying the Juque heavy sword on his back, he needs to walk to gain experience.
On the tenth day, we finally found livestock feces on the grass, which suggested that there might be herdsmen nearby.
Li Meng and Shuiyue immediately perked up.
Shuiyue sat in the carriage, but leaned her head out of the window and looked around.
Li Meng continued walking on the grassland. He had worn out two pairs of shoes.
So Li Meng just walked barefoot.
Anyway, there are no stones on this grassland. Even if there are stones, can they be as hard as Li Meng's feet?
Four one-horned horses pulled the carriage through wild grass that was nearly one meter high.
The weeds can grow so tall, are there really herds of livestock here?
Frightened by the carriage, a rabbit jumped out from the grass.
Li Meng was delighted as she would have game to eat in the evening.
With a wave of his hand, the cicada-wing sword was in his hand.
It has been a long time since Li Meng used the sword technique to catch fish. Today he wants to use it to catch a rabbit.
“Swoosh—”
As if it was destined to go against Li Meng, before Li Meng's sword was thrust out, an arrow hit the rabbit's head squarely, nailing the rabbit to the ground.
Not only Li Meng was surprised, but Shuiyue in the carriage had also grasped the scimitar at her waist.
Originally, Shuiyue did not carry any weapons, she just hid a lot of hidden weapons.
Considering that close combat would probably be inevitable in Shengzhou, Shuiyue asked people to make two scimitars in the style of the scimitar used by Linghua.
Although most of the people in Shengzhou are martial artists, they also need to use weapons.
In comparison, a scimitar is more lethal than a sword.
Therefore, most of the weapons used by nomadic people on the grassland are scimitars.
Of course, there are also many long weapons that use less iron, such as spears and sickle spears.
The thing that the nomadic people on the grasslands have the most is the unicorn.
Therefore, they are also called the nation on horseback. No matter they are men, women, old or young, they are all good riders.
Conflicts and battles between tribes were almost always fought on horseback.
This requires long-range weapons. There are almost no swordsmen on the grassland, so long-range weapons such as bows and arrows have become their indispensable weapons.
On the grassland, almost everyone has a bow and arrow.
You can live without a scimitar or a spear, but you cannot live without a bow and arrow.
