Chapter 3: Unlucky
Whether it was due to the warning on the attribute panel or his instinctive caution when facing the unknown, Jiang Shan needed to make thorough preparations before crossing.
Safety comes first.
Although a life that can be seen through at a glance seems boring, it would be a waste of money if you have endless money and endless fun, but you die recklessly, right?
It is certainly desirable to travel through time and space and explore the unknown, but if the risk is too great, one must be cautious.
The first is protective equipment.
Jiang Shan searched the Internet for a long time and locked onto a popular anchor who was selling military products. He then contacted him. After some communication and inquiry, Jiang Shan bought two sets of soft bulletproof vests made of polymer materials and a bulletproof helmet from the anchor at a high price.
He also ordered an eight-sided Han sword made of high-strength alloy, a dog-leg knife, an all-purpose saber and a military crossbow.
Then he prepared a set of special outdoor items and special medicines for treating trauma, poisoning, colds and fevers.
After that, he went out and bought fifty kilograms of gold from the bank.
Thinking about gold, it seems to be useful everywhere, so I have to prepare some.
After doing all this, Jiang Shan returned to his luxury villa on the Bund and waited for the courier to deliver the goods to his door.
During this period, Jiang Shan extracted the skill of [Wild Survival] from the information circulating on the Internet, and gritted his teeth and spent 5 skill points to upgrade it to the highest level.
The ordered items arrived one by one. After testing the quality one by one, they all met Jiang Shan's requirements.
Jiang Shan went out again, bought a grinding machine, and came back to sharpen the Eight-sided Han Sword himself.
On the third day, all the things he ordered arrived; Jiang Shan went out for a good meal and drank some wine; he came back and put on a bulletproof helmet, a bulletproof vest, a camouflage uniform on the outside, filled the water bottle and hung it around his waist, and put medicines, gold and other items into a backpack on his back.
Then he put on his dog-leg knife, slung over his shoulder the eight-sided sword, held the crossbow in his hand, took a deep breath, and silently chanted "shuttle".
He felt dizzy for a moment, as if he was dazzled by the endless colors. In his daze, Jiang Shan suddenly heard noisy shouting and yelling, and then he felt as if someone hit his shoulder with a hammer. Half of his body was numb, and he fell backwards! He struggled to turn over and wanted to get up dizzy, but two figures pounced in front of him like tigers, holding his arms on the left and right, and twisting them hard behind his back. In the severe pain of the joints, Jiang Shan completely came to his senses.
The sky was high and the clouds were red, and the sun was setting. It was a loess road with a small forest on the side of the road. Under a big tree beside the road, several strong men in armor and weapons were staring at Jiang Shan fiercely and murderously, and one of them was even holding a bow.
Next to them stood a few skinny, ragged men tied together with ropes, cowering and trembling with fear.
Holding Jiang Shan's arms tightly and tying them behind his back were two strong men in armor. They were incredibly strong, and Jiang Shan's so-called human strength was in their hands, so he couldn't struggle at all.
In just that instant, the cool air rushed from the soles of Jiang Shan's feet to the top of his head.
"It's over."
Jiang Shan sighed secretly, feeling very disappointed.
His mind raced, thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
Jiang Shan was captured and unable to move; in the distance, a few sturdy men who looked like ancient soldiers strode towards him.
The leader had a square face, and his mouth opened and closed under his dirty, thick, tangled beard. He looked at Jiang Shan and said, "He is just an ordinary person. You are so happy for nothing."
"Boss, he might be a useless noble of Kunwu who has not awakened his bloodline." The man holding Jiang Shan on his left side said in a muffled voice, "The clothes he wears are unprecedented, but the material is strange, and he is definitely not a barbarian or a Chinese."
The man on the other side forcibly took off Jiang Shan's helmet and weighed it, saying: "He appeared suddenly, he must have used the object of moving space. Only nobles can own such treasures."
The bearded man nodded, but said: "It's a pity that Kunwu Kingdom has been destroyed, and the nobles of Kunwu Kingdom are now penniless."
"Fortunately, the things on him are quite rare. Take them off and share them." The bearded man said, "When we get to Kunwu Wilderness, we can sell them as slaves and get some money."
Although the conversation between these people had a strange accent, Jiang Shan could barely understand it. He knew that they were going to take him to a place called "Kunwu Wilderness" and sell him as a slave.
Although his life was no longer in danger for the time being, Jiang Shan could not accept the fact that he was caught as soon as he traveled through time and was sold as a slave.
We must find a way to escape from danger.
Suddenly, he felt a pain in his shoulder, and an arrow that was the color of gold was pulled out from his shoulder - this was the culprit who had just hit him in the shoulder as if he had been punched - as soon as he appeared, he was shot by an arrow.
Even though he was wearing two layers of bulletproof vests, he was pierced by an arrow, and the arrowhead penetrated deeply into Jiang Shan's shoulder. He was numb before and had no reaction, but when the arrow was pulled out, Jiang Shan's face was distorted with pain and sweat broke out.
These people don't care how much pain Jiang Shan is in.

They grabbed Jiang Shan and quickly stripped him naked, leaving him without even underwear.
Jiang Shan endured the pain and never imagined that there would be a day when he could walk his bird in broad daylight.
"My luck is really bad. Is it because I got the cheat and used up all my luck?" Jiang Shan was silent, being pushed and shoved. He watched them pick up the rope and string him up with those skinny guys. He thought to himself, "But the problem is not too big. As long as I can save my life temporarily, there is always a way to think of it. At worst, I can wait for ten days, and when the space-time gate cools down, I can escape."
Just as he was thinking about it, a soldier saw Jiang Shan hesitating and swung his whip, hitting Jiang Shan so hard that he screamed and fell to the ground.
Jiang Shan took a deep breath, glanced at the soldier, quickly lowered his head, and slowly got up; he deeply hid the anger in his eyes.
However, Jiang Shan's look of resentment was accurately captured by the soldier.
Then there was a clang, and the soldier untied a golden broadsword hanging from his waist: "Boss, I don't like the look in his eyes, I want to kill him!"
As he spoke, he raised his broadsword and chopped it down on Jiang Shan's head.
Jiang Shan's heartbeat stopped and he felt completely hopeless.
At this moment, a shadow invisible to the naked eye rushed over from the side and instantly hit the soldier who was raising his sword to kill Jiang Shan; right in front of Jiang Shan's eyes, the soldier exploded like a ripe tomato, and red, white and green splashed everywhere.
Jiang Shan was stunned for a moment, bloody flesh slid down his face, and his expression was revived; his heart began to beat wildly, with great relief and surprise, he looked around, but could not catch what happened, just as if there was wind blowing, a few dull explosions like drums, and then there was flesh all over the ground! A barefoot middle-aged man with bare chest and only a piece of linen clothes appeared in front of Jiang Shan.
