Yunmeng Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and the terrain is even more dangerous in the depths, with ferocious beasts everywhere. Almost no herb collectors dare to go inside, and they don’t even know what the depths of this mountain range are like...
An ordinary-looking young man, wearing a bamboo hat and a medicine basket on his back, followed by a bald-tailed dog, walked deep into the forest. He was no different from an ordinary medicine gatherer.
The black dog's nose sniffed left and right from time to time, tracking the owner's scent, but he didn't pay any attention to the few swifts that occasionally flew by in the sky...
Jiang Ming raised his head casually, glanced at the direction in which Swift was leaving, which was the same as the direction Heidou was looking for, and said nothing.
Occasionally, Jiang Ming would speak up and express his concerns about the safety of the black bean owner and his previous beatings... Bah, beating a dog is wrong. If he could be of any help in the future, he would never refuse!
When Heidou heard this, he was immediately moved to tears. It seemed that there was really a misunderstanding before. How could there be such a good person in this world? The stranger he met on the road last time almost made his tail bald...
"When I find my master, I will repay you well!" the black dog wrote on the ground, with a sincere look on his face.
"I wholeheartedly do good and am willing to help others, how can I do it in return? You are insulting my character..." Jiang Ming suddenly shook his head in displeasure.
Heidou became even more tearful...
"Is the drama over..."
Jiang Ming wanted to feel guilty, but found that he couldn't feel guilty. Who asked your master to trick me?
Both the man and the dog were warriors. As they went deeper into the forest, their speed gradually increased. In just half a day, they reached the very depths of the forest.
At this point, Heidou's pace has gradually slowed down. There are more and more wild animals here, which somewhat disturbs Heidou's sense of smell.
"Look... there are traces of someone passing by here, there should be only a few days!"
Jiang Ming gave timely guidance and pointed to a trampled shrub: "I am a herb collector, and I still have some experience in this area..."
The black dog was overjoyed and ran in that direction quickly.
Jiang Ming followed behind, and a squirrel suddenly jumped from the treetop, shaking down a pile of dead branches and leaves... and a paper ball.
"The Liang family... Shili..."
Jiang Ming's expression did not change and he continued to move forward...
A quarter of an hour later.
"Woof woof~"
The black dog stared at the two strangers in front of him, showing his ferocity and barking wildly.
It smelled the blood of its master from these two people.
Jiang Ming looked at these two Liang family members. They were all young people in their twenties. They were both wearing clothes and one of them had a broken leg. No wonder they walked so slowly...
It seems that they are also two third-rate rookies. They are greedy for merit and do not repay the warriors in the clan. They want to take the credit for themselves. If they had not met me, they would have become...
"Herb collectors, take care of your dogs and come and carry me down the mountain...or I'll beat you to death!"
The young man with the broken leg had cold eyes and yelled angrily.
The black dog growled and showed its fangs. Jiang Ming quickly held it down and looked at the two Liang family members with a kind face:
"If you have anything to say, please tell me. Don't fight or kill anyone. I'm here to go into the mountains to find my brother. Have you ever seen a man in black, tall and thin..."
Although I knew it was these two guys who killed the person, the drama had to be staged.
Sure enough, both Liang family members looked cold: "Do you know that dead man? Who are you?"
"What? You killed my brother? I haven't apologized to him properly yet!" Jiang Ming's face was full of grief and anger: "I will fight with you!"
He exerted force under his feet and rushed towards the two of them. Seeing this, the black dog was so moved that his whole body became hot with anger, and he rushed forward with a roar...
"Warrior?" The faces of the two Liang family members changed greatly.
Bang!
Jiang Ming had already punched one person, sending him flying into the dense forest, and then rushed in after him...
The black dog pounced on the man with the broken leg and bit him wildly.
"This dog... this is not a dog... ah..." The man with the broken leg screamed in horror. He punched the black dog. Why didn't he smash it to pieces? He was a third-rate warrior.
Soon, the man with the broken leg had his throat bitten open and died.
But Heidou rushed into the dense forest on one side, but couldn't find Jiang Ming, so he quickly followed the smell...
…
In a mountain forest more than ten miles away, Jiang Ming stared at the Liang man whose limbs had been broken in front of him, and asked coldly:
"Where did you know the prescription for keeping animals in check?"
The Liang family man's face was full of fear, and he confessed like a bamboo tube pouring beans: "This is the order from the elder Liang Xuanyan of the clan. Ever since he heard the rumors about rabbits riding tigers appearing in Yunmeng Mountain, Elder Xuanyan suspected that there were beasts here.
The inheritor of the art...but soon there was no news about the rabbit. In order to avoid disturbing the situation, Elder Xuan Yan ordered us not to act rashly."
"Until a few days ago, Wu Rong appeared in Dayun Mansion and inadvertently showed the ability to understand the language of beasts. The two of us happened to discover it. In order to meritorious service, we chased him all the way into the mountains, trying to steal his method of controlling beasts.
, It’s a pity that this guy doesn’t have any prescription..."
"However, he said that he left the prescription with the boss of Baicaotang. Please spare my life and I will take you to get it..." The man from the Liang family thought of something and said hurriedly.
"Then why don't I go get it myself?" Jiang Ming looked at him as if he was mentally retarded, then put his palm on his chest, and a strange force suddenly burst out.
"This, this is my Liang family's Yuan Seizing Technique..." The man from the Liang family looked horrified: "Who are you?"
However, before he could wait for the answer, his blood and vitality were visible to the naked eye, and he died after losing all his vitality.
"It's only worth my seven or eight days of training..." Jiang Ming shook his head. This was the first time he had used Yuan Seizing Technique on others.
He is now a first-rate warrior. Taking away the vitality of a third-rate warrior is not particularly effective, but it is better than nothing.
"Liang family...Liang Xuanyan..." Jiang Ming's eyes darkened immediately. After receiving the news from Fourth Master Bai, he immediately warned him to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect that he was still being targeted.
Being cared about by a master family is not a happy thing...
"Write it down in a notebook first..."
Bang!
Jiang Ming kicked the body into the ravine, then turned around and walked back. Soon he met Heidou who was chasing him.
"Don't worry, I have already tried my best to kill him." Jiang Ming coughed and his face suddenly turned pale: "Go find your master quickly!"
With tears streaming down his face, Heidou nodded heavily and ran all the way to the mountains.
In the evening, at the entrance of a cave, Heidou was lying on a corpse whose blood had dried up, his eyes filled with sadness.
"Hey... I'm still late. It's all my fault." Jiang Ming blamed himself.
Heidou endured the grief and got up and wrote on the ground: "Don't be sad, the master has been dead for a long time... If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have had time to save him, and I couldn't find his body. Thank you."
Jiang Ming sighed and said no more.
The next day, Jiang Ming dug a grave for Heidou for its owner and buried it in the mountain.
"You almost cheated me to death, and I dug a hole for you... That's funny!" Jiang Ming stared at the earthen grave and muttered in his heart.
After a while, one person and one dog returned and walked down the mountain.
"What are your plans for the future?" Jiang Ming suddenly asked.
Heidou's eyes seemed hesitant.
Jiang Ming slapped his forehead, as if he suddenly remembered, and threw a white pill to Heidou: "This is the antidote. It will last for a while. You can come to me regularly to get it from now on."
Heidou fell to his knees with a pop and scratched the ground with his dog paws:
"I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met the Lord..."
There are two chapters left in the evening... I feel like I can type with peace of mind only when I go to work.
