This city was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only one side was connected to other cities. The obstruction of the roads naturally led to the development of Fan City, which was slower than other nearby cities. Until now, the urban area of Fan City was less than half of other cities. Most of the surrounding areas were villages and counties, as well as old villages.
However, Fan City was not useless. After all, it was surrounded by mountains on three sides. This place had become a good place for many explorers and campers.
Fan City also retained a very perfect ecological foundation. There were many animals that were rarely seen elsewhere on the mountain. It was a primitive mountain range with very good ecological protection.
At this moment, Su Yun was wearing a hood and walking very low-key on this county road with his hands in his pockets. There was a large piece of land on both sides, and many people were working in the field. Looking into the distance, the field was green. Occasionally, children would chase and play in the field, scaring away the birds that were eating food.
It was like the scene in the song “Rice Fragrance”. It was the smell of childhood
in the countryside.
This county road led to Su Yun’s hometown: Mount Shengu Village.
As the village was located behind Mount Shengu, it got its name. The name of this mountain was relatively special. If an outsider heard it for the first time, they would think that it was a title that existed in the story, but it was only because there was a human-shaped stone at the top of the mountain.
This stone was extremely old. Moreover, it was as tall as a person. From afar, it looked like a person standing at the top of the mountain. He was lonely and looked at the small mountains. Therefore, it was rumored that this stone on Mount Shengu was once an immortal. He stood there and used his body to protect the safety of this place.
Of course, this legend was like all other legends. It was very difficult to trace its authenticity. The so-called belief was just the villagers’ wishful thinking. They listened and believed.
And that was how Mount Shengu got its name.
Ever since he went to university, Su Yun had not returned to his hometown for two years. As he walked on this familiar road, the memories in his mind fluttered with his thoughts. The feeling of returning to his hometown was very familiar, but also a little homesick.
This was because the situation he was facing now was indeed a little troublesome. The reason why Su Yun returned to his hometown and did not stay in Hibiscus City was because he knew very well that the police would not be fooled so easily.
Although he had already cleaned up all traces of himself at the scene, the police would definitely find him eventually. It was just a matter of time. Therefore, if he continued to stay in the rented house, he would only wait for the police to investigate.
However, now was not the time to talk to the police head-on. To Su Yun, he had more important things to do. After that, he would take the initiative to look for the police to hand over the national treasure.
Mount Shengu was the place Su Yun had chosen for seclusion.
Ever since the last breakthrough in the Burning Mountain, Su Yun realized that the environment in the mountain was quiet and distant, very suitable for adjusting his mental state. On the other hand, mental state would affect the progress of training his ultimate technique, and even affect the activation of his extraordinary state.
Therefore, Su Yun chose a mountain again, but it was adjacent to his hometown. He knew very well that even if the villagers of the surrounding villages went to Mount Shengu, they would only be moving at the foot of the mountain. After all, there were many wild animals in the mountains, and the environment in the mountains was complicated. It was extremely easy to get lost or encounter danger.
Therefore, he did not have to worry about being disturbed by anyone when he was in seclusion in Mount Shengu.
This seclusion would not last long. At most, it would only last for a few days. He had to quickly increase his strength in this short period of time, especially after identifying his opponent. Su Yun felt that time was not waiting for him.
Although Pig Head Rong and Black Wolf were already dead, it also made Su Yun realize that his strength was completely insufficient in the face of the enemy’s methods and weapons. From this operation at Maple Ridge, there was an obvious drawback to throwing cards: their penetrative power was insufficient.
Under the circumstances that the enemy was protected by armor or that he was on guard in advance after knowing his throwing cards, it would probably be very difficult for his current throwing cards’ strength to harm them.
Therefore, he needed to increase his strength and make the throwing cards more lethal. Under the circumstances of using the iron cards, it would be best if he could directly cut open the armor!
In addition to throwing cards, Su Yun also planned to master another more lethal method: A flying needle!
In the black backpack that Su Yun was carrying, there was an exquisite wooden square box. The box was filled with thin needles the length of a finger.
Su Yun had prepared these thin needles in advance in order to completely comprehend the flying needle technique during this seclusion and make up for the only shortcoming of his long-range attack: penetration power.
“I need to adjust my condition to the optimal state. It’s best if I can sense the opportunity to enter the supernatural state in case of emergencies.” Su Yun muttered to himself. The goal of this trip was to train the two ultimate techniques, but the core training was still to adjust his state and even pursue the opportunity for the supernatural state to appear.
This was Su Yun’s greatest reliance and trump card. If he could enter the supernatural state when facing enemies, it would definitely multiply his combat strength.
This time, it was obvious that the other party would definitely send more people to target him. The danger had intensified, and he had no choice but to make proper preparations before taking the initiative to attack and snatch the national treasure golden foil.
“Let’s give it a try. Ever since I entered the supernatural state twice, I no longer feel anything.” Su Yun sighed. He could not help but wonder if he would never be able to comprehend that state in the future..
