Five breaths later, the illusory snake rushed out of the yellow mist and chased Ye Qian.
After Ye Qian threw out the medicinal powder again, his body sank again, but this time the weight of the long knife pulled him down, and Ye Qian's descent speed was much faster than before.
But no matter how fast he was, the illusory snake that couldn't be shaken behind him was a headache. It seemed that Ye Qian was unwilling to kill him.
It had been thirty breaths since he fell off the cliff, but he still hadn't seen the end. Even the light around him faintly disappeared and was replaced by darkness. Ye Qian was calculating in his mind how to get out of the predicament.
From an invisible place at the bottom of the cliff, a strange black energy rushed upwards and instantly came under Ye Qian,
Ye Qian saw the rising black mist. Although he didn't feel any threat, there was only danger at the bottom of the cliff. How could there be any chance? Otherwise, the Phantom Blood Python King would have hunted him down by himself, so why did he only split into one clone?
However, before Ye Qian could react, the black mist had already surpassed him and swept towards the shadow of the Phantom Blood Python King.
The moment the Phantom Blood Python King saw the black mist, the snake's body quickly flew upwards. Even so, it was caught up and covered by the black mist. It screamed miserably and viciously, and instantly turned into flying ash and disappeared visible to the naked eye.
Ye Qian looked at the disappearing Phantom Blood Python King in shock. His eyes went dark and he couldn't see anything, and his consciousness fell into darkness.
…
A waterfall flows down from a high cliff, and there is a large pool surrounded by many woods on the shore.
A man was sitting on a rock on the shore with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. Not far from the man, there was a tall leopard. At this time, it was carefully watching the man walking forward, for fear of disturbing him.
Not long after, the man opened his eyes, and two clusters of firelight flashed across his body, and a blazing heat wave spread out in circles around his body.
"Half a month has passed since he fell off the cliff that day, and the power of the stars still hasn't increased at all. If we meet Li Shan again, we can fight, but it is still difficult to kill him." The man looked at the flowing water with calm eyes.
Said in a low voice.
This person was Ye Qian. Ever since he fell off the cliff that day, I don’t know if there was a lake at the bottom. Anyway, when Ye Qian woke up, his body was floating on the water and he came back here.
After Ye Qian returned here, the rioting forest had fallen asleep, but even so, Ye Qian still did not dare to go out. After these few strange events, Ye Qian was finally scared.
If you just go out for a walk, you will encounter high-level monsters. It is really not a good thing to go out. You might as well practice.
But even if he is practicing, Ye Qian is very distressed now. The power of stars has been stuck in the second-level star master. To break through the third-level star master, he needs to cultivate four stars, and Ye Qian is currently stuck in three stars. The last one
Every time the stars want to be condensed, they will scatter at the critical moment.
"It's been a month since I arrived in this mountain forest. I wonder how Uncle Luo and Xiaoqian are doing." Ye Qian stood up and walked down the stone.
Ouch!
The big tabby cat ran up to Ye Qian with narrowed eyes and fawningly. After its previous height of less than half a meter, it became much taller than Ye Qian. It rubbed its big head against Ye Qian.
"Tabby cat, I'm leaving, take care of yourself." Ye Qian said softly.
After hearing this, the big tabby cat's fur stood up all over its body. It rubbed Ye Qian's head and immediately bit his clothes. The big tabby cat's intelligence was activated early, so it naturally understood what Ye Qian said.
Seeing this, Ye Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The opponent's big mouth could bite someone in half. At this time, he bit Ye Qian's clothes carefully, for fear of hurting him.
"Be good, practice well in this forest. I will come back to see you later. Besides, you are too conspicuous if you follow me. I can't protect you." Ye Qian comforted his broad head with his hands.
When the big tabby cat heard this, it rolled its eyes and bit Ye Qian's clothes. Just when Ye Qian thought that the other party knew what he meant, it suddenly shrank to a body that was as tall as Ye Qian.
The big cat was about the size of a cat, and then the tabby cat jumped onto Ye Qian's shoulder and rubbed it affectionately.
"..." Is this really the Nether Leopard? Not a cat?
"Meow." The tabby cat meowed in cooperation.
Finally, Ye Qian left the forest and took away a cat, a tabby cat with brown and black spots all over its body...
This time traveling through the woods, Ye Qian quickly went out from the inner circle to the outer circle. Ye Qian found that all the monsters above level four were sleeping, so the journey went smoothly.
Although Ye Qian wanted to know why the monsters were sleeping, Ye Qian knew that if he could not seize the opportunity to escape this time, death would be waiting for him.
Monster beasts below the fourth level, even if the fourth-level tabby cat dispersed, they immediately left with their tails between their legs.
Walking out of the forest, he ran quickly in one direction. Gradually, a mountain village appeared in Ye Qian's sight. Facing the afternoon sunshine, many people were doing farm work in the fields.
Entering the mountain village, I saw the collapsed and scattered place in the distance. It was originally a courtyard house with the Luo family hanging on the door. Everything ceased to exist since a month ago.
"Oh, I don't know how Dr. Luo is doing. It's been a month."
"Yes, Dr. Luo is a well-known good person in our neighborhood. How could he be arrested by the government?"
"It is said that they saved a man, so they offended the government, and the Luo family and his daughter were arrested. I think it was probably that man who was responsible."
"Go, where did you hear this? It was obviously the butcher Wang Haichui who cheated on the daughter of the Luo family. He was saved by a man and accidentally killed Wang Haichui. His brother came to the government. Bah, it is really insulting to the family tradition."
"So that's it. I just got here. I didn't expect the Wang family to be so disgusting."
…
Two women were sitting at the door talking and laughing, and sitting next to them was a young man. He was the one who just said that Ye Qian was dragging down the Luo family.
Ye Qian passed the three people and headed towards the collapsed courtyard. The tabby cat fell asleep comfortably in Ye Qian's arms.
Ye Qian still remembers that Li Shan froze the courtyard and broke it into pieces, causing the Luo family and his daughter to fall into the hands of the government. He ran away at that time. Now that he has returned, the Luo family's collapsed house has not been moved. Apparently, the people have not been released.
come out.
Ye Qianjing looked around, thought for a few times, then turned back to the women who were talking and laughing just now.
"Excuse me, have the Luo family moved?" Ye Qian asked gently.
When the middle-aged woman who was interrupted saw Ye Qian, with his plain and resolute face and gentle brows, he looked like a person who was visiting relatives, so he replied: "Young man, you are here to visit relatives. Alas, it's a pity that you are here."
It was not timely. The Luo family and his daughter were taken away by the government a month ago. You'd better leave as soon as possible."
"I am a distant relative of the Luo family. You said that my uncle was arrested by the government? What crime did my uncle commit to be arrested by the government? How could a good man like my uncle, who practices medicine and provide relief, offend the government? It must be
Someone framed him." Ye Qian pretended not to believe what the woman said.
"It wasn't Wang Haichui, the butcher, who had evil intentions and killed the daughter of the Luo family. Later, the government came, and the other party was a very powerful star master, so they took the Luo family's father and daughter away." Another young woman said enthusiastically.
"Have you seen the Wang family's house? It was broken into pieces by the Star Master hired by the government. At that time, many children in the village were frightened, and even adults would wake up from nightmares." The middle-aged woman who first told Ye Qian,
He looked at the collapsed house of the Luo family with a look of horror on his face and said.
"Young man, my old man was paralyzed by fear. Oh, what a sin." The young woman said, almost crying.
"Where were the Luo family father and daughter taken by the government?" The handsome boy from before interrupted the two women and asked.
Ye Qian raised his head and glanced at him. His fair face looked like that of a weak scholar.
"Of course it's in the town. Alas, young man, I advise you not to mess with the government officials. They are just a group of vampires. They will not let you go until they drain the good things out of you and drink your blood.
It’s your fault.” The middle-aged woman became more and more frightened as she spoke.
"I'm just asking around. Don't worry, aunties." Xiaosheng said politely.
After Ye Qian got the answer he wanted, he turned around and left quietly, heading towards the town.
Not long after Ye Qian left, a fair boy walked in Ye Qian's direction.
There was no one in the town. Occasionally someone walked through the deserted streets. Ye Qian asked a few people and stopped under a majestic and large building.
Standing at the door were two first-order star masters wearing headhunting clothes. They stood straight and looked at the street with flat eyes. Occasionally they saw someone looking at them with a look of arrogance and disdain on their faces.
Ye Qian went around to a remote city wall and climbed in. He dodged several patrols and headed towards the residence of the government officials.
In a luxurious room, a rich middle-aged man with a big belly was holding a young girl in his arms, and the sound of lewd laughter kept coming.
Ye Qian turned over and entered the room, quickly walked up to the two of them, raised his hand and knocked the young girl unconscious.
A middle-aged man saw a man coming in with a tabby cat lying on his shoulder, and there was no sound when he entered the government office. He opened his mouth wide and looked frightened.
"If you dare to shout a single sound, I will cut off your head." Ye Qian took out a long knife and put it on the middle-aged man's neck, saying in a cold voice.
The middle-aged man felt a chill on his neck. When he heard what Ye Qian said, he immediately shivered and looked at Ye Qian with a trembling body.
"Hero, if you have something to say, please tell me. Whatever you want to know, I will give you whatever you want. Please don't kill me." The middle-aged man rolled his body to the ground and knelt beside Ye Qian. He looked like he was doing something bad.
If there are too many, there will be ghosts in my heart.
"Let me ask you, where are the father and daughter captured a month ago?" Ye Qian said.
Since you are already scared of such corrupt officials, there is no need to talk too much.
"Father and daughter...a month ago...hero, I don't know which one you are talking about. Although we are a small place, people enter the prison every day." The rich middle-aged man said with a confused look on his face.
"My patience is limited, don't let me chop off your head, just say it quickly." Ye Qian said impatiently.
"No, hello, wait a minute... I'll have someone check it out right now." Feeling the coolness on his neck, the middle-aged man said anxiously with cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
"Hurry up, don't try to play tricks." Ye Qian said.
The middle-aged man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said to the outside: "Tell the master to send me the account books that have been imprisoned in the prison for the past two months. I want to take a look."
"Yes, sir." said a voice.
While the middle-aged man waited arduously, the headman delivered the account book.
"You come in and put it on the table, I'll come and get it later," the middle-aged man said.
This fat man has good taste. There is a tea table at the entrance, which is obviously used to entertain guests. There is a large screen in the middle. The head catcher cannot see Ye Qian and the middle-aged man.
