Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

"Young master, aren't you riding Black Lightning this time?"

Peach Blossom was in the backyard stable, watching Tang Wen wash his warhorse, occasionally ladling a scoop of clear water over.

Whenever Tang Wen was home, the three girls would find various opportunities to flutter around him.

Tang Wen finished brushing the horse and said plainly, "Black Lightning is too conspicuous. When you're out and about, regardless of your strength, the most important thing is—don't look like a fat sheep."

In the sunlight, Tang Wen's profile was as smooth as jade.

Peach Blossom's eyes were dreamy: "Young master knows so much."

Black Lightning was too wild and a mid-level magical beast, so it wasn't suitable to keep at home.

He had it fostered in the royal palace's stables.

Black Lightning also ate a lot, so it was perfect to keep it in the palace.

Putting down the brush and handing the bucket to Peach Blossom, Tang Wen thought back to the mission this time.

Go to Five Families City, sell medicine, participate in the trade fair, and find people from the Five Great Families to buy waterwheels.

It was the kind of wooden waterwheel shaped like a Ferris wheel that could irrigate farmland.

The camp had only recently learned about the waterwheels in Five Families City.

Tang Wen and the others were determined to get the blueprints.

There were lakes around the camp, which should be usable.

General Zhou was already thinking of ways to deal with the giant python in the lake.

That's right, the western lake was designated as a restricted area.

Mainly because of the mutated python inside, and its offspring—a group of water pythons.

On the way to Crow Old Man's yard, Tang Wen recalled General Zhou's serious explanation:

"The green water python's abilities are very strange, it's illusion, it's mind control. Their skin color blends with the lake water. When someone passes by the lake, maybe just glances at the surface, they will be attracted by the green water python's vertical pupils, and then uncontrollably jump into the lake and disappear completely."

"Green water python?"

In the yard, Tang Wen asked Crow Old Man what level of mutated beast the green water python was.

Crow Old Man recalled: "They are very difficult to deal with, but it would be nice to catch a young python, as for the level? About the same as a silver wolf."

"Young python?"

"Hehe, you didn't think I only raise blood crows, did you?"

Tang Wen smiled, whether you can or not, I can anyway.

After taming Black Lightning, the proficiency of Beast Taming Technique increased a lot.

His communication with the blood crows became more and more fluent.

Proficiency continued to climb.

Tame a python?

It's not like raising Medusa, sounds a bit creepy.

Crow Old Man was still talking: "Take it to Five Families City to sell? Why not go further? What's the use of exchanging for food and waterwheels? I understand, you want to take care of those ordinary people in the outer city… Your reputation is too good, this disaster year will be difficult!"

Tang Wen didn't speak, and counted the number of small bottles on the stone table.

Having seen Crow Old Man's pharmaceutical skills, Generals Zhou and Zhao personally went out to kill the recorded high-level mutated beasts in the camp, whose territories were nearby.

They used their blood marrow to make a batch of potions.

Besides leaving a small portion for their own use, the rest were taken to Five Families City for trade.

In seven days, Five Families City will hold a market, or rather, a martial artist trade fair.

The surrounding forces are taking this opportunity to exchange what they have for what they need.

The time to set off had arrived.

At the camp gate, Tang Tang came to see him off.

Tang Wen waved to her, rode his warhorse, and led a packhorse, blending into the caravan outside the gate.

"Why is Commander Tang Wen dressed like this?"

Qian Sanduo looked curiously at Tang Wen, who was dressed in black. The black clothes were nothing, but it was strange that even the area below his eyes was covered with black cloth.

Tang Wen perfunctorily said, "The wind and sand are heavy."

After speaking, he picked up a bamboo hat, put it on his head, and tied the drooping hemp rope under his chin.

Commander Qian didn't press further and checked the caravan's situation.

The team set off.

Time was tight, they had to travel day and night.

In the caravan, besides Tang Wen and Qian Sanduo, there was also a Commander Li.

He was also a caravan commander, had been in the camp for more than twenty years, married wives and concubines, and had a large group of children.

Seeing Tang Wen, he pointed to the carriages in the team and said, "It will take six days on the road, we will each keep watch for one day, taking turns to rest."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Wen waved his hand, and a blood crow flapped its wings and landed on his armored arm.

Commander Li said in surprise, "Commander Tang Wen has this ability?"

Qian Sanduo was equally surprised: "No wonder the general specifically asked you to come."

"Just learned it, limited ability."

The two only thought he was being modest.

There were a total of a dozen carriages and nearly a hundred horses in the convoy.

There were also more than thirty martial artists watching vigilantly from the front and back.

The carriages were loaded with fur and armor.

The fur came from breeding and hunting, and the armor came from the inner city's craftsmen.

Tang Wen knew that there was a poor iron mine in the forest northeast of the camp.

The output was not large, but it was no problem for self-use.

After accumulating for a while, they could also take out some weapons and armor to sell.

On the first day, the caravan hadn't left the camp's range.

The two commanders took care of Tang Wen and took the initiative to let him take the night watch.

For the next two nights, he stayed in the carriage to rest.

The first three days passed in a flash.

Tang Wen, who had suspended martial arts training, besides being on guard, was training crows and horses.

Constantly refreshing the proficiency of the Beast Taming Technique.

"Report! There are corpses by the roadside."

Early in the morning on the fourth day, the caravan had already traveled hundreds of miles.

The sky was blue and clear, without a cloud in sight.

The earth was a gray-brown color, as if it had lost its vitality.

The newest and most complete novels are first published at 6|9|书|吧!

Tang Wen rode forward and saw several shriveled, incomplete corpses, exposing their white skeletons and emitting a stench.

Commander Li also followed up and introduced his experience, "Generally, when doing business outside, we don't care about these corpses. But this place is too close to the camp, we have to burn them."

He ordered someone to get a torch, and the guard reluctantly went.

Seeing that there wasn't even a blade of grass around the corpses, Tang Wen stopped him, "I'll do it."

After speaking, he took out a few round pieces of coal from his small pocket and threw them at the corpses using the technique of flying locust stones.

Commander Li and several people in the caravan were stunned.

The next moment, short sonic booms, charcoal ignited, hit the corpses, and with a whoosh, sparks flew everywhere.

As if sparks fell into hot oil.

"With this move alone, ordinary martial masters are no match for you."

"This movement can scare away mutated beasts."

The two were curious how Tang Wen trained it.

Corpses appeared from time to time along the way.

Tang Wen showed the two his technique again and again.

The two commanders tried many times, and reluctantly admitted that they were not cut out for it.

"Commander Tang Wen, you are truly a young genius, without a hidden weapon visualization technique, you can actually hit flying stones with such power!"

Qian Sanduo praised.

The first four days were calm.

Occasionally a wild beast or mutated beast would pop up.

That night, it became a meal and went into everyone's stomachs.

At noon on the fifth day, a rocky area appeared ahead.

Commander Qian shouted, "Rest for a quarter of an hour, everyone cheer up, Rocky Ridge has arrived. Raise our camp's flag!"

A strong man held up a three-zhang-long bamboo pole.

The flag was like fire, fluttering in the air.

Before Tang Wen could ask, Commander Li said, "Rocky Ridge, also known as Corpse Ridge, many people die here."

For several miles ahead, the rocks were jagged and boulders were everywhere.

At a glance, the line of sight was obstructed everywhere, and there was no straight road.

A convoy of dozens of people, no matter where they went, had to turn and circle again and again to move forward tortuously.

Tang Wen casually swept around and confirmed that this terrain was very suitable for ambushes.

Perhaps behind a certain boulder, there was a hidden terrifying mutated beast, insidious thief.

Pedestrians lost their lives in their mouths and hands.

"Gah!"

The blood crow flew from Tang Wen's shoulder to the sky.

Commander Qian said, "I'll go ahead later, you support in the middle, Commander Li will guard the rear to prevent being attacked."

Tang Wen noncommittally said, "Do we often take this road?"

"Of course, whether it's a short-distance caravan or a long-distance caravan, it's unavoidable."

"Never thought of clearing a straight line?"

"Difficult! Not to mention bandits like Black Mountain Ghost who would destroy it, the distance alone is four or five miles long."

Opening the road was too much effort.

Tang Wen didn't say any more, walked forward and found a boulder, and whipped it casually.

With a crash, the boulder dropped slag.

He whipped three or five pieces in a row, all the same.

With this intensity, ordinary martial artists could smash it with a punch.

He went back to the car to get a bamboo umbrella, and then, the visualization broke out, and his body jumped straight into the air.

At the highest point, he opened the umbrella.

The bamboo umbrella couldn't support his weight and folded up.

Tang Wen borrowed strength, and after a slight pause in the air, he could see where there were the fewest stones.

"Commander Tang Wen, what is this?" Qian Sanduo and Commander Li looked at each other, not understanding what he was doing.

Tang Wen calmly said, "I want to try if I can quickly clear a road."
