Seeing this, Zhou Xing's expression also changed, but Ax Zu spoke at this moment: "It's okay, just use the Breath Condensation Technique and don't move, they won't be able to find you."
Sure enough, Black Snake ordered the two of them to search the surroundings, but found nothing unusual, and they all relaxed slightly.
"Captain Black Snake, can you not be so surprised? I don't have that much time to spend with you here." He Xu said to Black Snake dissatisfied.
Black Snake was slightly embarrassed at first, and then secretly unhappy in his heart. This He Xu was simply too arrogant. You must know that he was protecting his personal safety now.
"I'm sorry, Young City Master, I'm too sensitive. Let's continue on our way!" Black Snake could only apologize in a low voice unwillingly. Who knows how to be a good man!
Zhou Xing looked at the retreating figures of several people and whispered solemnly: "Eight are at the sixth level of physical training, two are at the seventh level of physical training, and one is at the eighth level of physical training. What a strong lineup!"
"Yes, you have accurately sensed the opponent's strength. Once the eighth-level forged Black Snake and the two seventh-level forged soldiers join forces, you will definitely lose. As for the eight sixth-level forged mercenaries and that
There is nothing to worry about for a boy who has reached the fifth level of physical training." Ax Ancestor said to Zhou Xing.
"Well, I wonder what these people are going to do? Master Ax, how about we follow them and have a look?" Zhou Youxing asked tentatively.
Hearing the words, Ax Ancestor smiled: "Haha... Okay, I know you are unhappy with the He family, so go if you want! Now you can also try the results of your recent cultivation. Anyway, you have the Breath Condensation Technique, as long as they don't join forces to deal with it,
It shouldn’t be a big problem.”
The Breath Condensation Technique is a secret technique given to Zhou Xing by Ax Ancestor. The so-called secret technique is some special skills to assist in combat. Generally, there are no special requirements for practitioners.
The Breath Condensing Technique can condense all the breath so that the enemy cannot sense it, unless the opponent is two realms higher than oneself or uses a detection secret method to detect. It can also help the caster see through the opponent's specific strength, which is not two realms higher than one's own.
After thinking about it, Zhou Xing agreed with Ax Zu's statement. He wanted to see what the young master of Ling City was doing in the southern part of the Black Forest Mountains.
Under the guidance of He Xu, Black Snake and his party walked more than 20 miles deep into the forest, and finally stopped when they reached a valley-like place.
Zhou Xing tried his best to use the Breath Condensation Technique to hide his figure close to He Xu and others, and the sound of He Xu and others' conversation could be heard faintly in his ears.
He Xu pointed to a cave entrance on the left and said, "Captain Black Snake, that cave is our destination."
"Uh, Young City Master, is there any danger inside?" Black Snake asked cautiously.
"Don't worry! There's no danger inside. I've sent people to investigate before coming. Except for a ginseng that's about to mature, there's nothing else inside."
"What! There's actually ground ginseng in this? That's..."
As soon as He Xu finished speaking, Black Snake exclaimed, and the rest of the Black Snake mercenary group also looked surprised and uncertain.
There was a flash of heat in Black Snake's eyes. He now had the urge to kill people and seize treasures. The rest of the Black Snake Mercenary Group also looked eager to try.
When He Xu heard Black Snake's exclamation, he immediately raised his head proudly. Only the two City Lord's Mansion guards were secretly on guard against Black Snake and the others.
Although Black Snake was very attracted to ground ginseng, but thinking of the promise of the city lord He Feng, he struggled and decided to put the mission first. Even if he took the treasure and left, relying on He Feng's relationship with Xiyoumen, he would never be able to do anything in the future.
It won't be easy.
Black Snake secretly signaled to his men not to act rashly. The two soldiers also looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it would be difficult for the two of them to protect He Xu now that they had fallen out.
"Look at how you have never seen the world! Okay, you can follow me in. As long as this mission is completed, my father will definitely reward you generously." He Xu gave Black Snake and the others a rare word of encouragement.
Black Snake had already regained his composure and replied with a fake expression of gratitude: "Thank you, Young City Master."
Black Snake then ordered six members of the Black Snake mercenary group to stay at the entrance of the cave to be on guard, while he took the other two people, He Xu and two soldiers into the cave.
"Axezu, what is ground ginseng?" Isn't it in the valley?
Zhou Xing, who was in the distance, listened thoroughly to the conversation between He Xu and the others. When he saw He Xu and the others walking into the cave, he quickly asked Ax Zu.
"Ginseng is a top-notch second-grade spiritual material. Its effectiveness is even greater than that of some third-grade spiritual materials. Its effect is to greatly enhance Qi and blood and temper the body. It is an excellent medicine for people who are in the realm of physical training!"
Zu Ye replied in surprise.
"Oh, then it seems that we must get this ginseng." Zhou Xing murmured with his eyes focused.
Ax Ancestor immediately agreed and said: "Yes, this ginseng is the most suitable spiritual material for use in the body-forging realm. In this way, your physical body will be greatly improved."
Zhou Xing looked at the six people guarding in front of the cave and thought about how he could seize the treasure from He Xu and the others.
"Don't worry, from the faint aura emanating from that ground ginseng, I guess it's still several hours away from being fully mature!" Ax Zu suddenly said.
Zhou Xing was stunned when he heard this: "So long?"
"Um."
Since it would take several hours for the ground ginseng to fully mature, Zhou Xing did not act rashly for the time being.
Inside the cave, when Black Snake and the others followed He Xu deeper into a larger cave, a radish-shaped ground ginseng caught their eyes.
This ginseng has only one leaf, and the lower part is like a radish. It is half buried in the soil, and only the leaf is swaying, exuding a dull brilliance.
"Sure enough, it's ground ginseng! When this leaf completely falls off, it will be mature. Congratulations to the Young City Master." Black Snake suppressed the greed in her heart and said to He Xu.
"Haha... As long as I refine this ginseng, I will definitely be able to enter the Xiyou Sect. By then, I will be a super genius." He Xu laughed with longing in his eyes.
The other people were speechless. Although He Xu was able to reach the fifth level of body training at the age of fifteen, which was considered a genius in Lingcheng, Lingcheng was just a remote place in the countryside. This kind of talent would basically be useless outside.
The existence of the street.
"But...Young City Master, it seems like there are living things in this cave." The experienced Black Snake judged from some clues that something might have been active in this cave recently.
He Xu heard this and said disdainfully: "Captain Black Snake, are you trying to scare people again? We came all the way in, where are there any living creatures?"
"This..." Black Snake was also helpless, but this was the end of the cave. The entire cave was bare, and there was indeed no living thing to hide.
"Okay, now we just need to wait patiently for the ground ginseng to fully mature." Seeing that Black Snake couldn't refute, He Xu ran to the side to rest.
From the outside world, Zhou Xing also patiently hid his figure, constantly thinking about ways to seize the treasure.
"It's a pity. If there were burning beasts living here, there would definitely be people guarding the burning beasts. Then they would conflict, and you would be able to reap the benefits." Axzu said regretfully.
Zhou Xing nodded slightly. He remembered that the ferocious beasts here were eroded by demonic energy. He guessed that the Zhuo beasts were afraid of this and did not dare to live here! This made him even more suspicious of the things in the demon world that the Ax Ancestor said.
Curious.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally, when He Xu and the others saw that the last leaf of the ground ginseng had turned yellow, Zhou Xing was also reminded by Ax Zu to prepare for action.
"Wait a minute, maybe you can really be a fisherman today!" Just when Zhou Xing was about to attack the six people, Ax Zu immediately stopped him.
"What?" Zhou Xing asked in shock.
Ax Ancestor explained with a smile: "Haha... there is a late-stage first-level Burning Beast coming. It seems that it wants to use this ground ginseng to break through to the second-level Burning Beast!"
"Oh! What kind of burning beast is that?"
"It's a black rock python. This kind of snake is not poisonous, but its speed and defense are very amazing. It is relatively difficult to deal with among the first-level burning beasts..."
Sure enough, after a while, a black snake python broke into the valley. It was covered in black scales, nearly three feet long, and moved at an alarming speed. The black rock python headed straight for the cave.
"Who is it? Ah! It's the Black Rock Python!"
The six people from the Black Snake Mercenary Group who were guarding the cave had just entered fighting mode after hearing the commotion. In the blink of an eye, they saw the Black Rock Python rushing towards them. The Black Rock Python saw someone at the entrance of the cave and estimated that someone wanted the treasure in the cave.
Rob, so its snake boy is full of anger.
"Hiss..."
Facing the six people in front of the cave entrance, the black rock python was worried about the ground ginseng it needed to advance. It didn't mess around, and a snake tail swept away the six people who were still in fear.
"Bang bang bang...puff..."
The six members of the Black Snake Mercenary Group were swept to the mountain wall before they could react, and then fell like dumplings, vomiting blood.
Zhou Xing, who was not far away, watched the black rock python disappear at the entrance of the cave, and then looked at the six people who had completely lost their fighting ability. He could only secretly sigh.
"Is this the difference between burning beasts and ferocious beasts? Their fighting power after anger is so abnormal, and they can defeat six humans at the sixth level of the body forging realm so easily. This is still difficult for me for the time being!" Zhou Xing thought to himself.
.
"Haha... It was about to enter the second level of the Burning Beast. The six six-level forged ones are really vulnerable to it. As for you, it is actually not difficult to defeat six of them." Ax Zu said with a smile.
.
Zhou Xing put aside his thoughts, jumped up and appeared in front of the six people who were struggling in pain.
"Ahem...boy, who are you? This is the place where our Black Snake Mercenary Group belongs. Please leave immediately."
The six people were shocked when they faced the sudden appearance of Zhou Xing, but they were indeed mercenaries who had been on the edge of life and death all year round. Although they were worried about the Black Snake and others in the cave, and they were seriously injured, but that
The leader was still vigilant and wanted to use the name of the Black Snake Mercenary Group to scare Zhou Xing away.
Although the Black Snake Mercenary Group's ranking in Lingcheng is below the Husha Mercenary Group, their bad reputation is above the Husha Mercenary Group. Many people in Lingcheng have been persecuted by them.
, but due to the city lord's mansion behind the Black Snake Mercenary Group, many people had no choice but to swallow their anger.
Zhou Xing thought of this, and with a move of his right hand, a dagger appeared quietly. Then with a movement of his body, the six members of the Black Snake Mercenary Group all covered their necks and slowly fell down, leaving everyone with expressions of disbelief.
It was frozen on the face.
"Boy, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless when killing people, and you don't feel disgusted yet?" Ax Zu couldn't help but teased after seeing Zhou Xing's performance.
Zhou Xing endured the discomfort in his heart and recalled his experiences with the old beggar over the years. Finally, he said leisurely: "I kill the people who deserve to be killed, and there is no need to show mercy. As for the disgust, I have seen life and death in these years."
It's been a long time, and even though I didn't kill them, the pain and despair of them starving to death in front of my eyes is far more uncomfortable than this."
"well……"
"Okay, let's go in and watch the battle between the Black Rock Python and the Black Snake! With their strength, it is very likely that they will lose both sides with the Black Rock Python." Zhou Xing came to his senses and hurried towards the depths of the cave.
go.
Inside the cave, He Xu and others were watching with excitement the last leaf on the ground ginseng falling off. At this time, the brilliance of the ground ginseng was restrained and became like an ordinary ginseng.
"Great! Once I refine the ground ginseng, I can join the Xiyumen, hahaha..."
He Xu couldn't help laughing. Black Snake and the others looked at He Xu with envy and jealousy after hearing this. For such a person to be able to enjoy such a treasure, this is the benefit of having a background!
He Xu strode closer to the ground ginseng, and when he was about to pull it out, a sudden change occurred.
"Hugh! Young City Lord, be careful!"
Everyone only heard a sound breaking through the air. Before they could see clearly, they saw Black Snake shout loudly and then move to He Xu's side instantly.
"Bang!" The objects blocked by the black snake were blown up everywhere. Only then did they see clearly that what was flying towards He Xu was a stone as big as his head.
"Who is it? Dare to attack me secretly!"
He Xu, who was so shocked by the sudden appearance of the stone that he broke out in a cold sweat, came to his senses and immediately shouted angrily. Others quickly gathered around He Xu and looked in the direction they came from. Black Snake felt the strength in his hand and also
The mind is heavy.
"Hiss..."
in a sound
Amidst the weird hissing sound, the Black Rock Python Boy's figure flashing with anger slowly appeared in front of everyone.
"This is... a black rock python! It's a black rock python that is about to enter the level two Burning Beast!" Black Snake couldn't help but exclaimed. He Xu was frightened when he heard about the level two Burning Beast.
"Hei... Captain Black Snake, then... what should we do now?" He Xu stammered and asked Black Snake. Others also wanted to hear Black Snake's response.
Black Snake cautiously stared at the Black Rock Python that was slowly stopping, and then he said experiencedly: "Young City Master, please step aside and pay attention to safety, but you must not get ginseng, lest the Black Rock Python desperately attacks you; and here is the venue
It is limited, and its body is relatively large, so the few of us just need to swim with it and consume it as much as possible."
After hearing this, several people nodded in agreement. He Xu, who was usually arrogant and domineering, stepped aside in an unusually obedient manner.
"Stop!" The angry black rock python didn't give the black snakes any extra time to react. It immediately swept towards them with one tail.
"Get out of the way! You fight it." Black Snake roared and dispersed with several others.
"boom!"
The black rock python's giant tail swept against the mountain wall, making a huge noise. Black Snake and others were frightened when they saw the impact.
Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the black rock python swung its body and quickly rushed towards the two black snake mercenary members who were at the sixth level of forging.
The two men were shocked and quickly grabbed the big ax in their hands and struck at the snake.
