"With our speed, we can reach Youping County in about three days." Feng Gu, the young master of the Ping An caravan, talked to Lu Xingshi.
When Lu Xingshi came out at first, he really scared them, and even the guards of the caravan almost took action.
After Lu Xingshi communicated with his 100-point eloquence, he successfully entered the caravan.
Feng Gu is also a person who has traveled all over the country. Although he chatted, he also asked about Lu Xingshi's background in a roundabout way. After a conversation, he did find out a lot, such as the other party is likely to be a son of a scholarly family or a famous family, and he should be the type who sneaked out to play.
The main inducement is naturally that the other party doesn't know much.
While he was inquiring, Lu Xingshi was also inquiring about the situation of the Dasong court and the rivers and lakes, so he gave the other party such a misunderstanding.
"It will take three more days?" Lu Xingshi was also a little confused about this time. Is it so far away?
"We have to pass through three villages and two towns during the journey, not far." Feng Gu smiled, and then explained to Lu Xingshi that it was not all wilderness.
Lu Xingshi looked at the sky: "I am not very experienced, but it is getting dark, do we plan to rest in the wild at night?"
"No, we are not resting in the wild." Feng Gu's expression became solemn: "It is said that there seems to be a human bear in this area."
"Human bear?" Lu Xingshi had some impression of this, it seemed to be a brown bear.
But from the other party's expression, it seemed a little wrong.
Thinking carefully, a first-class master seemed to be unable to beat a brown bear. Brown bears weigh 600 kilograms when they grow up, and are the second largest carnivores on land. They can even grow to one ton and are about two meters tall.
At first glance, they seem a bit weak in the martial arts world, but this world is low-level martial arts, not high-level martial arts.
For example, the guards of the Ping An caravan, when encountering bears, actually have little chance of winning. Most of them mainly drive them away, and if they really can't, they run away.
When encountering tigers and leopards, they will not take the initiative to attack, but will avoid their sharp edges.
However, most wild animals dare not attack so many people.
"Yes, it is a different species, cannibalism." When Feng Gu said the word cannibalism, Lu Xingshi understood why the other party was still so solemn.
Putting aside whether it is a different species or not, a bear that eats people will undergo a change, that is, it will regard humans as a good prey to kill.
In particular, human blood contains salt, which is an excellent source.
"We still have to go to the village to rest as soon as possible. It's better to have more people to stick together." Lu Xingshi is not the kind of stubborn. If the other party says it, he will definitely believe it.
The entire Ping'an caravan has only three guards, and the other miscellaneous people total seven people, plus the young master and Lu Xingshi, there are only twelve people, not a lot of people, after all, it is not a large caravan.
If something really happens, it will be difficult to deal with it.
The strength of the guards... never mind, they are older than Lu Xingshi, but in terms of internal strength, they are not much different from Lu Xingshi.
As for overall strength, Lu Xingshi is even better, and he also has the bonus of root bone.
Of course, in terms of experience and knowledge, the other party must be stronger than himself.
"I don't know if we can make it in time." Feng Gu actually didn't have much confidence. This was his first time to take this trade route. In the past, it was his father who took it
. But this time his father had something to do and couldn't get away, so he had to go.
Fortunately, it was not his first time to do business, so he was not panicked.
"Are there many rumors about alien species in various parts of the world?" Lu Xingshi asked curiously.
"There are quite a few rumors about alien species, but not many people have seen their true appearance."
"There are also many alien species that are made up by the world and are famous for this." The solemnity on Feng Gu's face gradually disappeared, and then he continued to chat with Lu Xingshi.
He also specifically gave Lu Xingshi a few rumors he heard when he traveled all over the country, which made Lu Xingshi curious.
Alien species, roughly speaking, are mutant species of certain animals and plants, with certain different conditions.
As he was talking, Feng Gu returned to the man-bear.
"The origin of this man-bear is also quite strange. Where it came from is not known for the time being. It is said that it is extremely cunning and cruel, and has a terrifying revengeful heart. Combined with the strength of this beast, it swallowed several caravans and ate many villagers and civilians." Feng Gu said some of the things he knew.
Lu Xingshi asked again where the other party got the information from.
"In Fuyan Town, this should be true. Someone from the Fuyan Chamber of Commerce was injured last night. They took their dogs to look for something at night, but they met a bear. If they were not all good fighters, they might not be able to come back."
"But even so, several people were killed." Feng Gu said something to prove it.
"It seems that this is indeed true." Lu Xingshi replied, and he understood in his heart. No wonder he was in such a hurry to run last night and came back in the second half of the night. It turned out that he met a bear on the way and was beaten.
He was somewhat glad that he played under the lamp and hid directly around the town instead of running all the way.
Otherwise, he might have met the bear.
At that time, he did not have the third level of "Qi Yin Shu" and "Tu Na Gong", and his strength was not as good as it is now.
The two talked one after another, and the sky gradually darkened, and a layer of mist appeared around them.
As the night approached, this layer of mist became thicker and thicker.
Feng Gu frowned when he found this strange thing. This was not a good sign.
Fortunately, they were just walking along the official road, so it was not wrong to be careful.
"Look, was there someone waving at us a few days ago?" Lu Xingshi suddenly said.
Everyone looked carefully and found that there was indeed someone. A burly man with a felt on his head was waving at them in the fog.
However, Feng Gu immediately stretched out his hand and signaled everyone to stop.
Seeing this, the guards also vigilantly put their hands on the handle of the long sword at their waists, ready to draw it out at any time.
"Good man, I am the young master of the Ping An Caravan, please give me some convenience." Feng Gu thought it was just a bandit blocking the road and did not think much about it.
But after he finished shouting, the burly man was still waving and did not respond.
This made everyone's hair stand on end.
"Something is wrong, this doesn't seem to be a human..." Because Lu Xingshi had a high bone attribute, his eyesight was naturally better, so he found a clue.
Just as he was about to speak again, he saw the sturdy man suddenly lie down on all fours and rush over in a weird posture.
In the thick fog, a hairless bear head poked out of the thick fog, and a pile of cow dung was on the bear's head, which looked like a felt hat at first glance.
"Human bear!!!"
