Chapter 760.
“Take a rest here.”
Shi Yan was undoubtedly a good traveling companion, he was well read and experienced, familiar with the Sacred Ancestor’s Walking Path, and had a flexible mind that could speak well.
Wang Dust would not be lonely and boring along the way if he followed him.
And from Shi Yan’s mouth, he learned a lot about Red Cliff City.
It gave Wang Dust a clear idea of his next stop.
It was just that the calamity that Shi Yan had suffered three years ago still caused him a lot of trouble.
Physical strength and endurance were far inferior to Wang Dust.
The two of them rested on the spot in a cave next to the walkway, eating something and drinking water.
At every distance of the Holy Ancestor’s walkway, there were one or two kiln-like caves, capable of accommodating twenty to thirty people to rest inside.
Quite spacious.
Shi Yan told Wang Chen that these caves were basically dug out by traveling merchants and passersby.
Some of them were also used as outhouses.
If you didn’t know the way of it, it would be easy to go in and step on the Xiang.
Shi Yan certainly wouldn’t make such a mistake, and the cave he found was both clean and dry, and there was even a hearth built by the soil embryo inside, as well as a small pile of ebony black stones.
“Burning stones!”
Seeing these stones, Shi Yan was instantly delighted, “We have hot food to eat.”
Wang Dust attached himself and probed his hand to grab a black stone.
A lump of coal!
He recognized it at a glance.
Dare he say that there was coal in this side of the world, and he didn’t know if there was any oil or natural gas in existence!
During Wang Chen’s time in Little Stone Village, he had always used sun-dried taro stems and leaves and tree branches and vine roots for cooking.
Today was the first time he had seen burning stone.
That is, coal.
Shi Yan was joyful, “It must have been left behind by a certain merchant team, but unfortunately it didn’t go to our village.”
The number of traveling merchants and merchant caravans that traveled the Sacred Ancestor’s Path was quite large, and it was because of their existence that the smooth exchange of materials between different cities and villages was maintained.
However, if a merchant caravan was to go, not every village would go.
The Little Stone Village was in a remote location, and there were usually very few caravans that came over to do business.
Often times, it was the people in the village who organized themselves and went to the neighboring villages to barter for what they needed.
Shi Yan took out the tools to start the fire from his traveling bag and skillfully burned the stove, then set up a small pot that could only be described as “simple” on top.
Pour in some fresh water from the gourd, then put in fresh taro slices and dried bacon.
Not long after, a pot of steaming hot yam meat soup was ready.
Shi Yan took out two more bowls and chopsticks and shared today’s lunch with Wang Duan.
“It smells so good!”
Just as the two of them were about to feast, a rude voice suddenly came from outside the cave.
In the next moment, a group of ten or so people hooted and hollered as they surged into the cave.
They wore gray power shirts or leather armor, and each of them carried swords and bows, looking quite formidable.
Seeing these uninvited guests, Shi Yan almost jumped.
He panicked and lowered his head and whispered to Wang Duan beside him, “It’s the hunters from Xintian Village, there are many of them, let’s put up with it as long as we can!”
This Xintian Village was considered a neighbor of Xiaoshi Village, only that it was far away and there was usually no interaction.
However, Little Stone Village and Xintian Village have always had feuds and disputes, the reason for the initial feud between the two sides has long been unverifiable, but the hunters on both sides have had many conflicts.
The most intense times even killed people!
When Shi Yan saw that the other side was so crowded, he secretly grumbled in his heart.
He spoke to Wang Dust fast and furiously, fearing that Wang Dust would explode into conflict with these Xintian Village’s on impulse.
A good man is not forced to do anything beforehand!
As a result, as soon as Shi Yan’s words fell, a burly man with a full beard among the visitors recognized him, “Shi Yan, why are you here?”
Hearing the bearded man’s words, the others shifted their gazes over.
Some sneered, some mocked, and some gloated!
Shi Yan hurriedly got up and replied, “Brother Pillar, I’m taking the clan’s children to Chibi to see the fun.”
“Hm?”
The bearded man swept his gaze and stared at Wang Dust as he spoke, “What’s your name?”
Wang Dust replied without moving, “My name is Wang Dust, I don’t know what I can teach you?”
The bearded man was instantly stuck for words.
He was not putting Wang Dust in his eyes at all, and he didn’t expect the latter to be neither overbearing nor servile, with a look of softness and hardness.
The bearded man’s psyche brought about a rather heavy pressure.
“Scram!”
Reacting to this, the bearded man suddenly became infuriated, pointing at Wang Dust and cursing, “Little brat, what the hell are you, hurry up and put down your stuff and roll yourself.”
Not only did he want to forcefully occupy Wang Dust and Shi Yan’s temporary residence, but he even wanted to plunder all the food.
It was really brutal and overbearing!
Shi Yan rushed at Wang Dust and gave him a wink, signaling the latter to hurry up and leave.
After thinking about it, Wang Chen put down the bowl of meat soup in his hand.
As a result, he had just gotten up when the bearded man reprimanded again, “Leave the bag, you can’t take it away!”
Wang Dust frowned and couldn’t help but sink his face.
This traveling bag contained a lot of things, besides the “local specialties” of Little Stone Village, the most important ones were hundreds of ancient coins and some valuable beast materials.
If the other party took them away, it would be a big loss, and it would also affect the later plans!
Therefore, he didn’t want to leave now.
Wanted to make trouble!
Although Shi Yan’s understanding of Wang Dust was very limited, he was good at reading words, so he quickly realized that Wang Dust was about to flip out.
If this is a fight ……
Shi Yan almost cried.
If Wang Duan had an accident, then even if he could return to Little Stone Village alive, how could Shi Laowu explain?
Earlier, the village chief instructed him to send Wang Duan to the Red Cliff District safely.
This “safe” does not only refer to Shi Yan himself, but also the various characters that may be encountered on the road!
Shi Laowu was well aware of Wang Duan’s fighting strength.
But Shi Yan didn’t know it very well, he just felt intuitively that he was going to suffer!
“The bag stays?”
Wang Dust removed his traveling bag backpack and threw it to the ground, sneering, “I think it’s better to leave your life behind!”
He had already tried his best to endure, but he didn’t expect to be regarded as weak by the other party.
The more and more he got the better of him!
As soon as the words fell, Wang Chen blasted out with a fist.
Bang!
At a distance of more than ten steps, Wang Chuan threw his fist out in the air towards the bearded man, and a low popping sound was suddenly born.
The bearded man only felt puzzled, and instinctively wanted to taunt a few words, but suddenly he had a terrible feeling that he was in trouble.
Poof!
The sound of the punch was amazing, the punch fell without a ripple, seemingly without a little force, but the opposite side of the bearded man was like being hit by a ten thousand kilograms of heavy hammer, and his head was violently tilted backward.
His nose, cheekbones, and teeth, all suffered a tragic blow at the same time, and were blown apart by the power of the Vajra Fist.
The power of this punch was already no better than the lowest level spells!
The bearded man had never seen such an “insidious” punch before, and fell into unconsciousness just a few seconds after being hit.
The scene was in chaos.
