Chapter 36
"Fight!"
Zhou Cheng shouted, strode forward, and stabbed Cheng Cang with the long knife in his hand.
Cheng Cang also moved. Instead of dodging, he stepped on the Rushing Wolf Step and approached actively.
Faced with Zhou Cheng's attack, he dodged sideways and evaded quickly.
His speed is extremely fast, easily dodging Zhou Cheng's stab.
Zhou Cheng's attack failed, he changed his knife style and swept out a horizontal knife, killing Cheng Cang.
Cheng Cang's movement method is extremely flexible.
Then, fast forward, hit a Blazing Sky Palm.
After Zhou Cheng saw it, he quickly drew his knife to block it, but it was still too late.
pa!
Cheng Cang slapped Zhou Cheng's abdomen with his palm, causing Zhou Cheng to go backwards.
He didn't wait for Zhou Cheng to stabilize his body, and once again stepped on the Rushing Wolf Step to force him over.
Zhou Cheng's reaction was quick, and he slashed with a knife.
Cheng Cang uses his flexible footwork to dodge the slashing knife, and then slaps it out with a heavy palm.
pa!
The palm went down, right in the middle of Zhou Cheng's chest.
This palm was so powerful that it knocked Zhou Cheng down to the ground.
Zhou Cheng fell to the ground with an ugly face.
He stared at Cheng Cang in a daze, completely unaware that Cheng Cang was so powerful.
Outside.
Sun Tao saw Zhou Cheng who fell to the ground, and then looked at Cheng Cang of calm and composed, frowned.
Zhou Cheng lost unexpectedly, and lost so quickly?
This is so unexpected!
He could see that it wasn't that Zhou Cheng was weak, but that Cheng Cang was better than Zhou Cheng in both speed and strength.
Wang Sheng next to him shook his head when he saw that Cheng Cang easily defeated Zhou Cheng.
This little fellow is so good, he didn't say it sooner, which made him worry in vain.
Fang Lie was obviously a little surprised when he saw this scene, but he was overjoyed.
It didn't disappoint!
He had already sensed that Cheng Cang's breath had become much stronger, so when an old pawn stood up to see Cheng Cang's battle strength, he didn't stop it.
He would also like to see Cheng Cang's performance.
He intends to cultivate Cheng Cang, but he also needs Cheng Cang's strength.
Now, Cheng Cang's performance shows that his guess is right.
Cheng Cang, it really broke through!
This is Cheng Cang's first shot after his breakthrough to the mid-Body Tempering Realm, and he has not been able to skillfully use those new powers.
If you master those powers skillfully and defeat Zhou Cheng, it will be easier than this.
However, his performance just now was quite remarkable for the other soldiers.
If it could be easier, wouldn't it be heaven?
Zhou Cheng fell to the ground, very embarrassed.
Think of him as a veteran Body Tempering Realm mid-term cultivator who still uses weapons, but was defeated so quickly by a newcomer from Cheng Cang. If there was a hole in the ground at this moment, he would have plunged into it.
What a shame!
He stood up, clutching his chest, and backed away dejectedly.
I wanted to suppress Cheng Cang, but instead it became a stepping stone for Cheng Cang, which was not a good feeling at all.
Cheng Cang glanced outside and saw Zhang Quan inadvertently.
Zhang Quan suddenly withdrew his eyes, lowered his head, and stepped back behind Wang Sheng.
Fang Lie glanced at Sun Tao, "Sun Tao, Cheng Cang's performance is obvious to all. He defeated Zhou Cheng with his bare hands, proving his battle strength. Now, do you want to test Cheng Cang yourself? What's the battle strength?"
Cheng Cang was slightly expecting after hearing this.
He wanted to play against Sun Tao in the later stage of Body Tempering Realm to see where his battle strength reached.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed.
I saw that Sun Tao said: "If I take action, it will be strength to bully the weak."
"So, you have no problem with sending Cheng Cang to this mission. ?" Fang Lie asked.
"No." Sun Tao shook his head.
He also knew that he couldn't overdo it. After all, Fang Lie is a Ten-Men Commander.
It's not a good thing to anger Fang Lie.
Therefore, Fang Lie announced that Cheng Cang and Wang Sheng will perform the task this time.
Cheng Cang and Wang Sheng went to the main camp of the Central Army, and together with other soldiers, formed a team to deliver food and grass.
Eight cavalry, twenty infantry.
Forage is very important, so Hundred-Men Commander Li Liang, a mid-term Qi Sea Realm cultivator, led the team.
Everyone brought enough dry food and drinking water, and under the leadership of Li Liang, they left the East City Gate.
Li Liang and his eight cavalrymen were on horses, while Cheng Cang and other infantrymen could only walk on foot.
The cavalry and the infantry each have their own roles and are indispensable.
Cheng Cang was carrying dry food, drinking water, a moonblade, and a shield.
One of the main functions of the shield is to resist the enemy's long-range attacks, mainly arrows.
The cavalry did not carry shields, only the infantry did.
Autumn is getting stronger and stronger, the north wind is getting stronger and the weather is getting colder and colder.
The north wind blows on the face like a knife.
However, for these soldiers, they are used to such a scene.
Cheng Cang, as a newcomer, participated in such a mission for the first time.
However, Wang Sheng is different.
He is a veteran with more qualifications than many others. He has participated in many tasks, and picking up food and grass is one of them.
In addition, he participated in the task of delivering food and grass more than once.
Cheng Cang followed in Wang Sheng's footsteps and learned from him humbly.
Ask him some questions to be aware of, and what to do in the event of an enemy attack.
Perhaps, he usually delivered the right wine. Wang Sheng told him some precautions based on the experience of people who have come here.
Cheng Cang listened carefully, plentiful harvest.
Wang Sheng said meaningfully: "Receiving food and grass is both an opportunity and a challenge. It is not terrifying when the enemy is attacked. The most important thing is to be able to kill the enemy and save the food and grass."
And the enemy does not only refer to barbarian, but also wild beasts, mainly wasteland wolves.
The head can be cut off, the blood can flow, and the food and grass must not be thrown away.
There are scouts ahead to clear the way, all the way to the east, but the road is calm.
On the way, they also encountered a pair of caravans.
They drove seven or eight camels, with nine guards, coming from the east to enter Liang City.
Because there are various dangers on the road, the merchants learn to report to the group to keep warm, form a caravan, add guards, and travel together.
Cheng Cang They went all out and took a few breaks in the middle, but each break was very short.
In the evening, the sun went down and they had not reached their destination.
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Liang ordered to set up camp on the spot, and then hurry up after the night.
It's a sandy field with some sparse bushes nearby, and some dead weeds.
The barracks were set up, and some soldiers took out the dry cow dung they carried with them and set up a fire.
Another soldier went to the vicinity to find some dead branches and increased the firepower.
At night, the fire cannot be put out.
Fire is not only used to ward off cold, but also used for lighting.
The key point is that open flames can also play a certain role when the beasts attack.
After eating dry food, some soldiers went to rest first.
Cheng Cang did not go to rest, but to keep vigil. After the first half of the night, he can go to rest.
He and Wang Sheng were in charge of the east, and the two sat around the fire, looking around vigilantly as they cooked.
Wang Sheng looked at the flickering firelight and said, "You know what? I remember that when I was on my first mission to deliver food and grass, an accident happened. At that time, the person who was watching the night with me went to release water, and the result was I haven't come back for a long time."
Cheng Cang listened in his ears, but looked not far away in his eyes, and said, "That person has been gone for a long time, and he never came back."
