The consequence of traveling with a lame man who could only point one foot was that from noon until the sun was almost going down, the two of them had to complete the last short distance of less than ten kilometers.
Salvi's weakness made the two of them have to rest several times in the middle, if it weren't for the fact that he was still carrying a bunch of things on his back, and he could no longer carry a person on his back, there were several times when Zhang Tie almost couldn't help but want to carry Salvi on his back and walk together.
In addition to taking Salvi with him, even the beast clamp Zhang Tie unceremoniously put it away, carried it on his bag, and added more than ten catties of weight to himself.
As soon as he saw Salvi in this beast clip, he couldn't help but grit his teeth, so Zhang Tie asked Salvi if he wanted this beast trap when Salvi gritted his teeth, of course Salvi didn't want it, so this beast clip became Zhang Tie's thing.
Facing Salvi's suspicious gaze, Zhang Tie's explanation was that this beast could be sold for about twenty silver coins in Black Flame City, when Zhang Tie said this, Salvi didn't doubt it, but was a little speechless, but in fact, okay, admit it, when Zhang Tie said this, what he was thinking about was actually Grace and his doglegs, Salvi's unlucky appearance made Zhang Tie couldn't help but give birth to an evil picture in his mind that made him feel refreshed, Grace or someone in his dog's leg would be like Salvi today one day in the future, He was bitten on the leg by this beast and rolled on the ground in pain.
If this was the case, Zhang Tie would feel that he would be in a good mood, so he carried the bulky and ugly beast on his back.
This journey is not so much a test of Zhang Tie's physical strength, but a test of his patience.
The two men hurried along the foot of the mountain, slower than the turtle could climb a line, but Salvi was in a hurry to go back to join his companions, and was in no mood to do anything else along the way except for the necessary short rest, and the two of them were not unlucky enough to encounter any other beasts.
This allowed the two to finally rush back to the place where Salvi had said his companions had landed before sunset.
The place where Salvi's companions settled is on the other side of this mountain range that extends out of the Wild Wolf Valley, if this mountain range that extends for dozens of kilometers is compared to a bitter gourd, the top position of this bitter gourd is the border with the crescent grassland, Zhang Tie's foothold is on the left side of the top of this bitter gourd, and the foothold of Salvi's companions is on the right side of the top of this bitter gourd, as long as you go around the top, the distance between the two sides is actually not far.
"The birch forest in front is where my companions and I meet," Salvi pointed to the birch forest on the hillside in front of him, put one hand around Zhang Tie, and limped to speed up.
Seeing that the destination had finally arrived, Zhang Tie also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he should be able to run back before dark.
Just less than 50 meters after Zhang Tie and Salvi walked into the birch forest together, Zhang Tie suddenly felt the cold hairs on his neck explode, Zhang Tie didn't think about it, and rolled out on the spot.
Just as Zhang Tie rolled out, a knife light fell from the sky, and it slashed at the position where he was standing just now, it was a figure that slid down from the birch tree silently, and when he saw that the blow missed, another knife chased him and cut it over.
"Stop, Miller," Salvi shouted The luggage on his body greatly limited Zhang Tie's flexibility, and the speed of that figure was also very fast, at least much more flexible than the current Zhang Tie, the current Zhang Tie, carrying a bag on his back, was like a turtle, Zhang Tie, who had turned over two bodies, had just had time to pull out a flying spear, and the knife in that person's hand had already stopped in front of Zhang Tie's neck, if it weren't for Salvi's shout of "stop", Zhang Tie had no doubt that the knife had cut his neck at this time.
As for himself, Zhang Tie looked at the flying spear in his hand and could barely pierce this person's lower abdomen with a flying spear.
The end result is that the person is seriously injured and he is going to hang.
The man named Miller didn't expect Zhang Tie's reaction to be so fast, and when his sword light chased in front of his neck, the flying spear in his hand was already about to pierce his lower abdomen.
As soon as Salvi shouted, both of them stopped, and the scene was eerily quiet, Zhang Tie and that Miller stared at each other with big eyes, and neither of them put down their weapons first.
In just a few moments, Zhang Tie's back was soaked with cold sweat.
After Huck and Snead, Zhang Tie once again felt the breath of death.
"Boy, I'll count to three, if you don't put down the weapon in your hand, the bow and arrow in my hand will definitely make a big hole in your neck, so that you can cool down" Twenty meters away, another man in a gray cloak stood up from behind a pile of bushes, this person was holding a bow, the bow had been wound, drawn into a full moon shape, a sharp triangular arrow, twenty meters apart, locked Zhang Tie's neck.
Zhang Tie felt the goosebumps on his neck suddenly rise again.
"Harley, put down your bow and arrows, he saved my life, I asked him to send me here, without him, I probably wouldn't be here" After saying this, Salvi shouted at the man named Miller again, "Miller, you fucking bastard, can you ask before you cut someone" Miller and Harley glanced at each other, and then they both seemed to notice the wound on Salvi's foot and the cane made of the branch on his hand, and then they both put away their weapons at the same time.
"Hey, boy, I didn't see you reacting so quickly," Miller smiled nonchalantly, sheathed the long knife in his hand, and then stretched out his hand to Zhang Tie, who was still lying on the ground.
Zhang Tie didn't take his hand, but got up by himself without saying a word, and Miller shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
And it was just a few breaths, more than a dozen people quickly ran out of the birch forest with weapons, Salvi hurriedly met him with a cane, whispered something quickly to someone in the group, and pointed to Zhang Tie, and then those people collected their weapons and walked over together.
Since the group of people running out from behind, Zhang Tie's eyelids have been jumping, although those people are dressed as pioneers, but they feel very wrong to Zhang Tie, very wrong, Zhang Tie can't tell what is wrong with those people, but instinctively, Zhang Tie feels the dangerous aura on those people.
The vigilant and inquiring eyes of these people looking at him made Zhang Tie feel a little uncomfortable.
"You saved Salvi" One of those people was a man in his thirties who put away his weapon and walked over, this man was thin, his face was unshaven, but he had a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes, when the man's sharp eyes looked at him, Zhang Tie thought of the look of the sheriff of Heiyan City looking at the street children who were squatting in the corner near the train station, and their eyes were only staring at the money bags on the waists of passers-by.
This made Zhang Tie a little uncomfortable.
"Yes, I saved Salvi," Zhang Tie said as he put away his flying spear.
"There are not many students who dare to come to the Crescent Meadow alone for trial," the man's words were full of inquiry.
"There are only three people in the entire Wolf Castle who dare to come here to test, and I am one of them" Zhang Tie replied with a little pride, and at the same time, he also noticed that when he said this, the man who came over glanced at Miller, who had just moved with him, and then Miller nodded slightly, as if he recognized the strength behind Zhang Tie's words.
"Anyway, since you saved Salvi, then we should all thank you" The man's tone relaxed a little, "I don't know what we can do to help you, if you have any requests, just say it and see if we can do it" The man spoke very directly.
"No need, since Salvi has joined you, I should also go" Zhang Tie refused the man's proposal, and then looked at Salvi, "Let's see you again if we have a chance" Seeing that Zhang Tie was leaving, Salvi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he held back.
Zhang Tie waved his hand, turned around and strode out of this birch forest, and then in the eyes of everyone behind him, he followed the route he came from, and trotted up, and these people in the birch forest watched in silence one by one Zhang Tie disappear into the distance alone, and everyone retracted their sight.
"Don't worry, as long as he is in Black Flame City, you will have a chance to repay him in the future" Harley, who was standing beside Salvi, patted Salvi on the shoulder and comforted, Salvi smiled as he withdrew his gaze.
"Head, this kid is good, he reacts quickly, but he's a little cautious" It doesn't matter if Miller doesn't speak, Salvi began to glare at Miller again, "If he hadn't reacted quickly, you almost killed him with that knife just now" The man with eagle-sharp eyes kept squinting slightly and watched Zhang Tie disappear into the distance before turning around, "Salvi, how is the situation?"
Salvi also knew that the situation that this man cared about would definitely not be the injury on his foot, and after hearing this, he didn't say anything more, but took out a small cylinder made of metal from his arms and handed the cylinder to the man, "I have finished mapping the terrain of the Wild Wolf Valley, and I have already investigated the situation of the Wild Wolf Castle, the team of soldiers who were originally stationed in the Wild Wolf Castle had left a month ago, and now the Wild Wolf Castle has become the base camp of a bunch of boy scouts in Black Flame City, and the combat power of the castle above level 6 is no more than ten people, The highest combat power is estimated to be below the ninth level, and they are all teachers and school instructors in Black Flame City, and those city defense equipment in the castle, under the operation of these students, can exert less than forty percent of the power at most, and the main boiler of the castle's defense has not been activated."
While listening to Salvi, the man unscrewed the metal cylinder Salvi handed him, took out the map inside, looked at it, nodded slightly, and when he put away the map, the man gave several orders without blinking an eye.
"Everyone has five minutes to prepare, and we're going to move soon" Everyone who heard this didn't say a word, and immediately got busy one by one.
"Dogo, prepare the falcon, contact headquarters, Zola, check on the horses" The man seemed to remember Salvi's injuries at this point, and looked at Salvina's roughly bandaged legs, which were splinted with twigs, "Can you still ride a horse?"
"Yes," Salvi said, gritting his teeth.
The man nodded Just five minutes after Zhang Tie left this birch forest, more than a dozen fast horses rushed out of the birch forest, and after a while, they disappeared on the horizon northeast of the edge of the crescent grassland:
