Chapter 22 Shock

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Chu Xisheng is no longer the first brother whose hands shook when he killed a chicken when he first came to this world.

He worked as an escort in Sitong Escort Bureau for three months, experienced several bloody fights, and lost three lives to his sword.

But when he saw a row of more than seventy miserable corpses in front of him, he couldn't help but feel his stomach churn and he felt nauseated.

Chu Xisheng frowned, but still stepped into the street.

This world is like this. Martial arts are rampant, the strong are respected, and there are many people who use force to do whatever they want.

If he cannot take the initiative to adapt to this cannibalistic world and grasp the power to settle down and live his life, he will be eaten by this world sooner or later.

Chu Xisheng endured the pungent smell and stench on the street and looked around.

Not long after, Chu Xisheng saw a signboard for 'Li Ji Herbal Medicine Shop', her eyes lit up immediately, and she walked over with Lu Luanli.

This was Chu Xisheng’s first time visiting the Fire Bone Cave.

He had no acquaintances here, but Ye Zhiqiu knew that he wanted to prepare the secret medicine, so he recommended Li Ji Herbal Medicine to him.

This is a fifty-year-old brand with a fair reputation.

Ye Zhiqiu is also a regular customer of this herbal medicine shop. As long as Ye Zhiqiu's name is mentioned, the herbal medicine shop will not dare to bully customers.

However, when Chu Xisheng asked to buy 'Yangyang Grass', the shopkeeper of the herbal medicine shop looked embarrassed.

"If my guest had come four days earlier, I would have sold yangyang grass here, but now -"

The shopkeeper gave a wry smile: "Now in the entire market, only the Long family's business sells Yang Yang grass, and the price is ridiculously high, costing two hundred and twenty taels of magic silver per plant."

After hearing this, Chu Xisheng couldn't help but be surprised: "Why is it so expensive?"

He inquired about the price of Yangyang grass and found that it was usually around a hundred taels.

During this incident in the library, Chu Xisheng took eighty taels of magic silver from Cao Qianhu, and extorted a little more money from Lu Luanli, which was just enough to buy a Yangyang grass.

Yangyang grass is only produced in the deepest part of the Fire Bone Cave, and even the most experienced herb collectors have to rely on luck to pick it.

This is far beyond Chu Xisheng's ability.

So his plan was to use money to buy Yangyang grass and collect the auxiliary materials for the secret medicine by himself.

"It's the handiwork of the eldest son of the Long family."

The shopkeeper of the herbal medicine store smiled bitterly and pointed to the wooden piles and corpses outside: "Did you see that? More than 60 heroes from the Iron Banner Gang, plus more than a dozen herb collectors, all died at the hands of the Long family.

The reason why the eldest son killed so many people was to monopolize several medicinal materials in the Fire Bone Cave. Now anyone who dares to sell Yang Yang grass to other medicine shops is waiting to be staked by the Long family."

He sighed softly and looked sad and angry: "Their selling prices are just high. The key is that the price of the goods is only 70% of the previous price. I have been in the medicinal materials business in Huogu Cave for 20 years, and I have met several people from Xiushui County.

Of all the tycoons in the world, none is as domineering and vicious as the eldest son of the Long family, leaving no room for mercy."

Long family in the inner city?

Chu Xisheng frowned and thought, this is really an unlucky thing. Why did he bump into the Long family again?

At this moment, he became wary and glanced at a customer wearing a gray short shirt not far away.

Judging from the way this person is dressed, he looks like a medicine collector.

However, Chu Xisheng saw a tattoo in the shape of a wild wolf under his rolled-up sleeves. On the head of the wild wolf, there was actually the word "龙".

This person seemed to be browsing various medicinal materials, but he kept looking at him furtively.

Chu Xisheng thought for a moment, then grabbed Lu Luanli's arm and walked out.

"You don't have enough money?" Lu Luanli walked outside the store, crossed his arms, and looked at him with a smile: "How much more money are you short of? I can lend it to you, but the interest is, five hundred cents a day."

Chu Xi thought to herself that she would be stupid to buy two hundred and twenty taels of Yangyang grass.

If he had the money, he might as well buy the finished secret medicine from the martial arts school, which would be simple and hassle-free.

He turned his head and gave Lu Luanli a look: "Pay attention to your surroundings, we are being targeted."

Lu Luanli's face froze, and he glanced around and found that there were indeed a few people around him peeking furtively.

Chu Xisheng turned around and walked into a deserted alley. With lightning speed, he put a rainproof cloak on his body.

When Chu Xisheng came out of the alley, he had already changed his image.

He blended in the crowd inconspicuously, the Fire Bone Cave was a mixed bag, and there were many people hiding their heads and tails on the streets. It was not strange at all to wear a cloak on a hot day.

Lu Luanli came without a change of clothes, but she took out a talisman and stuck it on her clothes, and the purple gauze skirt she wore turned into a yellow gauze skirt.

The two of them walked all the way to the exit of the market town, but when Chu Xisheng saw the situation at the street entrance, he couldn't help but frown.

There were already more than ten burly men guarding the street at the intersection, all armed with swords and observing the passers-by with sharp eyes.

Chu Xisheng pondered for a moment, then turned to ask Lu Luanli: "Mr. bodyguard, you are a dignified seventh-level master. It should be easy to deal with these people?"

Lu Luanli was stunned for a moment before he realized that the 'bodyguard' Chu Xisheng mentioned was him.

"It's easy." She shook her head, her eyes showing resistance: "But if I do it in public, my identity will be exposed, so it's not cost-effective."

Chu Xisheng couldn't help but "tsk", thinking that this bodyguard was simply the same as having one or not.

He had to go back the way he came and tried to take another route, but the other street was also blocked.

Chu Xisheng didn't try again, and instead walked towards the deepest part of the market town.

On the way, he discovered that three more people were following him. Apparently, the strategy of changing clothes had failed and they were being targeted again.

Chu Xisheng's heart felt slightly cold, and at the same time, he was growing angry.

One visit to the library is not enough, he has to come a second time. Does the Long family in the inner city have to kill him to death before they give up?

At this moment, Chu Xisheng's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he realized that there was something abnormal about the illusory screen in his field of vision.

In his status column, after the 'Six Yin Resurrection Curse', there was a surprising addition of the word '睚禦'.

When Chu Xisheng stared at these two words, he also had a piece of information in his mind.

The virtue of a meal must be repaid, and the grudges of Yaizhu must be repaid. When you sense the enemy's malice, you will definitely want to retaliate, and activate the sword intention of Yaizhu. When you draw the sword, it will be accompanied by a mental shock.

A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye! The power of mental shock depends on the number of enemies and the intensity of their malice. The more enemies there are, the greater the malice, and the stronger your sword intention.

Chu Xisheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his eyes showing surprise.

At this time, Lu Luanli asked with some confusion: "Where do you want to go? We are almost at the entrance of the cave."

The very center of this market town is the entrance to the Fire Bone Cave.

What troubled her was that there were about twenty people following them.

Lu Luanli's face turned bitter. At this point, she had to take action even if she didn't want to.

You can't watch Chu Xisheng being beaten to death by the Long family.

"I just want to enter the Fire Bone Cave."

Chu Xisheng said expressionlessly: "This is called going against the grain. If they don't let us out, then we will go in. After entering the Fire Bone Cave, you should have no worries?"

Lu Luanli's eyes lit up and he thought that this was indeed a good idea.

The environment inside the cave was deep and dark, making it difficult to see. As long as she was careful when taking action, no one could tell what was going on.

And there is more than one entrance and exit to the Fire Bone Cave.

Humans and the giant gods are related by blood and are of the same species. Humans have nine orifices, and the giant gods also have nine orifices.

There are a total of nine entrances and exits. How many people does the Long family need to block them?

"You are quite smart."

Just as she was praising her, the two of them had already walked into the huge cave in the center of the market town.

Chu Xisheng paid extra attention to the terrain here and found that the shape of the entrance of the cave really looked like a human mouth. There were two rows of sharp stone pillars above and below the entrance of the cave, which looked like human teeth.

However, if this Fire Bone Cave is really transformed from the bones of a giant god, then its huge body is simply shocking. It may be more than thirty miles long, equivalent to the area of ​​a modern fourth-tier city.

——This is the ancient giant, the ancestor of mankind in this world.

Just as the two of them were walking deeper, Chu Xisheng saw five people in leather armor approaching from the front.

He saw that these people also had tattoos of wild wolves under their rolled-up sleeves.

"stop!"

The man at the head was short and stocky, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and fierce eyes: "I wonder if you are allowed to leave or not enter the Fire Bone Cave these days? Where are you from, lift up your cloak!"

Instead of lifting his cloak, Chu Xisheng quickened his pace.

It only took him two steps to close the distance between the two sides to within six feet, and the hundred-refined light steel sword at his waist was unsheathed with a 'choking' sound.

"you wanna die!"

The short, stocky man's thick eyebrows twisted and his expression was ferocious.

He unsheathed his sword almost at the same time as Chu Xisheng, but a look of shock immediately appeared in the man's eyes.

Chu Xisheng's knife speed was much faster than he imagined, at least faster than him!

What surprised the man even more was that as the sword light from the opposite side rushed towards him, his mind seemed to have been hit hard by a hammer, making his consciousness dizzy.

The Yan Ling Dao in the short and sturdy man's hand also slowed down a beat.

The next moment, he felt a pain in his throat, and as a large amount of blood gushes out, all the strength in his body left him.

After Chu Xisheng's hundred-refined light steel knife passed across the person's throat, he sprinted forward simply and neatly, and with the advantage of the length of the blade, he pierced the other person's throat.

The short and stocky man at the head was probably at the lower level of the ninth rank, while the few people behind him were much weaker, with strength only equivalent to that of the gangsters of the Sitong Escort Agency.

Chu Xisheng was not sloppy when using the knife, he was sharp, decisive and ruthless.

The twenty-odd Long clan soldiers behind had already rushed over.

If he hesitated even a little at this time, he would be blocked at the entrance of the cave by these people.

After killing two people in a row, his speed increased instead of slowing down.

Chu Xisheng could clearly see the look of fear in the eyes of the three people in front of him, but he calmly used his steps to avoid the long sword that was thrust straight ahead, and at the same time swung the sword diagonally.

Just when he passed by another person, the person suddenly groaned and blood sprayed from his chest.

Chu Xisheng's knife penetrated his abdomen and directly entered his heart.

After dealing with this person, Chu Xisheng's steps did not stop at all, and he continued to charge forward with invincible momentum.

The two people in front of him had frightened eyes and subconsciously took two steps back.

This retreat made room for the two of them. Chu Xisheng and Lu Luanli ran one after another into the depths of the cave.
