Xu Qian slowly scanned the faces of his colleagues and said in a deep voice: "This is saltpeter."

The name saltpeter was very unfamiliar to the few warriors present who had little education and lacked relevant knowledge.

Song Tingfeng exchanged glances with his colleagues, frowned and asked: "Saltpeter?"

Xu Qian considered it and said: "I will change the name, and you will understand it better. It is the main material for making gunpowder."

Everyone present's expressions changed uncontrollably.

Gunpowder is Da Feng's secret technique, one of the means to intimidate all the countries in the world. Da Feng strictly controls all formulas and materials related to gunpowder (mainly saltpeter).

Even the watchman has little knowledge of the ingredients of gunpowder.

A saltpeter mine was discovered in Dahuang Mountain...and there are traces of mining...Song Tingfeng no longer had a smile on his face, and was extremely serious: "Go back to the capital immediately and report this matter."

Compared to the monsters causing trouble, the discovery of the saltpeter mine is the most important thing.

Lu Qing stared at the gray-haired Li Chang and ordered: "Tie him up and take him away."

There is a saltpeter mine in Dahuang Mountain, and as the head of the village, he said he had no knowledge? No matter what, he must be taken back for interrogation.

The two detectives took off the ropes from their waists, tied the chief's hands behind his back, and escorted him out.

The head of the village should be unaware, otherwise he would not have brought us here. This is illogical... And judging from the body language and other details, he does not seem to be an insider. An uneducated old man will not be able to bring us here.

Maybe it's Yen Tei... The reason why the monster drove Haito away was the saltpeter mine?

Well...it's not very likely. You have to ask professionals to judge the mining time of the saltpeter mine here before you can make a judgment.

Xu Qi'an was combing through various thoughts and holding a torch. As soon as he stepped out of the cave, Lu Qing's scream came to his ears: "Be careful!"

At the same time, he heard a whistling sound piercing the air, and a black shadow shot out from the side, so fast that he had no time to respond.

boom!

The gong on his chest cracked, and Xu Qian felt like he was hit head-on by a high-speed train. The powerful impact knocked him away, and his consciousness instantly fell into darkness.

The sudden attack caught everyone off guard, and each responded differently.

The three agents from the government office drew their sabers and took off their crossbows.

Zhu Guangxiao kicked the chief into the grotto with a sweep of his legs. Song Tingfeng drew his knife and shouted: "Get in and don't come out."

Lying on the boulder on the side of the grotto was a monster two feet long, resembling a salamander, with its body covered in thick armor.

There was a sharp horn on his forehead, and his amber vertical pupils shone with a cold and cruel light.

The forelimbs have four toes.

Its cheeks are bulging, as if it is hiding a hidden weapon and can be launched at any time to attack.

"puff!"

A black shadow that was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye shot out and hit Song Tingfeng directly.

The latter's eyes narrowed, his body reaction surpassed that of his brain, and he instinctively leaned back to avoid the heart-piercing blow.

Lu Qing stepped forward with a bow, stepped on the rocks continuously, splashed stone powder, and struck with a knife in both hands.

Buzzing...the blade vibrates at a high frequency.

"Ding ding ding...."

Amidst a series of teeth-searing sounds, the blade cut out dazzling sparks on the tip of the tongue.

Only then did everyone see that the monster's long tongue was covered with a layer of fine scales.

The monster seemed to feel the pain. It retracted its long tongue, supported its huge body on all four limbs, and stood on the boulder overlooking everyone.

It puffed up its cheeks, opened its bloody mouth, and let out a thick roar.

The roaring sound startled the wild birds in the mountains and forests, and they fluttered their wings and flew into the sky.

Song Tingfeng and others were in a trance for a moment, as if someone had hit the back of their heads with a mallet.

God Refining Realm... His heart trembled, the strong ninja was dizzy, and he knocked the hilt of the knife on his chest.

Bang....

The loud sound of the gong is like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, canceling out the sound waves and bringing clarity.

After both parties got out of the trance, they responded immediately.

While retreating, Lu Qing ordered two colleagues at the peak of the Refining Realm: "You use crossbows to help attack its eyes, jaws, and mouth."

These are relatively soft places.

Song Tingfeng took off the gong and threw it to Zhu Guangxiao: "You are responsible for frontal containment, be careful yourself."

He had just seen clearly that Xu Qi'an's gong was damaged, and knew that a gong could not withstand the monster's tongue.

Thinking of Xu Qian, Song Tingfeng felt a little sad. Although the gong could withstand a full blow from the God Refining Realm, the monster just succeeded in sneak attack.

Xu Qi'an was unprepared and his heart might have been shattered by Yu Li. It would have been too tragic if he had only worked for one day.

Song Tingfeng restrained his emotions, ran wildly with his knife, and attacked the monster from the side.

The salamander's amber eyes twitched, as if he was about to turn around and stick out his tongue. Zhu Guangxiao struck the gong first, shaking the monster's spirit.

At the same time, the Qi machine instills the blade, and cuts out the thick sword energy in a deep roar. The arc-shaped sword energy sweeps out, and the air becomes high-temperature and distorted.

The monster was huge and could not be avoided. It lowered its head and resisted the sword's energy with its hard forehead. Then it swung its tail, as if it had eyes on its back, and hit Song Tingfeng accurately.

Song Tingfeng blocked with his sword and flew backwards.

Lu Qing, who was fighting from the other side, seized the opportunity and stabbed the monster in the abdomen. It still avoided it as if it had no clue.

Warriors and monsters in the realm of refining gods have strong spiritual power that can radiate around them and make every detail of the surrounding scenery appear in their minds.

No tracking, ambush, targeting, or murderous intention can escape the insight of a warrior in the God Refining Realm.

This is a miracle unique to the God Refining Realm.

.....

My mother almost died before she left the army. She finally broke through the Qi training and died in the line of duty before her body was broken... Xu Qian woke up after a brief fainting.

Hearing the fierce fighting in the distance, he did not get up, but crawled forward, and climbed to a certain commanding height without anyone paying attention.

He took out the small jade mirror in his arms, flipped the back, and poured out the crossbow and bone-corrosive poison given by Song Qing. After calmly applying the poison, he silently raised the crossbow, aimed at the monster, and waited for the opportunity.

Bang....

Zhu Guangxiao struck the gong, shaking the monster's soul and blinding his perception.

Xu Qian was about to shoot when the monster suddenly turned over. This made Song Tingfeng and others stunned, wondering what it meant by such an operation.

.... Damn it, sneak attacks don’t work against masters in the God Refining Realm!

Xu Qian, who knew the real reason, cursed secretly.

The safest way is to continue waiting and let Song Tingfeng and several tool men consume the monster, severely damage it, and reduce its spiritual awareness. Then he will have the opportunity to use this magical weapon crossbow that can kill the God Refining Realm to complete the beheading!

Soon, Xu Qian gave up this idea...

Lu Qing was like a vigorous female leopard, running fast with two powerful long legs, scolding, and finally stabbed the high-frequency trembling knife tip into the monster's abdomen.

The blood soaked the blade, like it came into contact with a red-hot iron, making a hissing sound and evaporating blood smoke.

The monster roared in pain, tilted its head, bulged its jaw, and a black shadow shot out of the sky.

Lu Qing's face darkened, fear appeared on her beautiful face, she could not avoid this blow.

At that moment, a figure rushed out from the diagonal ground, hugged the female catcher's plump and strong body, and rolled her sideways.

Song Tingfeng came to the rescue and stabbed the monster's soft belly, forcing it to be unable to pursue its companions.

Lu Qing felt herself being hugged by a pair of strong arms around her waist, with the man's heavy body pressing down on her. She breathed quickly, stared at the man on her body clearly, and blurted out in surprise:

"You're not dead."

Xu Qian grinned: "Almost."

If it weren't for the meritorious service of the breast-protecting mirror that Song Qing gave me...

Just as Lu Qing was about to speak, he saw the monster's tail chopped off above his head. He quickly hugged Xu Qian and rolled with him.

boom!

There were deep marks on the place where the two people originally lay.

"It's even." Xu Qian smiled at her, and the two separated and cooperated with Song Tingfeng in tacitly attacking the monster.

The reason why he gave up the sneak attack and chose to join the battle: three people in the Qi training realm couldn't defeat a monster in the God refining realm.

In the end, the monster will not be killed, and Xu Qi'an will become a polished commander.

Seeing that their companions did not die in the line of duty, Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng's eyes lit up, hiding their joy.

Xu Qian took out the bone-corrosive poison from his arms, smeared it on the blade, threw it to Lu Qing, and said, "Smear it on the blade."

Lu Qing glanced at him, took a few steps back, applied the poison, and then threw it to Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao.

Song Tingfeng was unlucky. When he was applying poison, he was targeted and attacked by a monster. The long tongue grazed his arm, and the scales scratched his flesh and blood.
