"I didn't expect our group to be a woman?" Zhang Yan looked at the Ji Zhu among the crowd and whispered.
The five senses of the foundation-building monk are so sharp. As soon as he finished speaking, his cold eyes quickly came to look at him.
Chen Li secretly yelled, and quickly pulled Zhou Hong to take a step back calmly.
"You, come out!"
Zhang Yan panicked, looking left and right, trying to pretend to be confused.
"Stop pretending, it's you!" The female cultivator surnamed Bai said in a cold voice with a livid face: "Come out quickly, do you want me to find you out personally? You are already old and you still don't have a good reputation."
The crowd dispersed in a circle, revealing Zhang Yan and Zhang Shuniang in the middle.
"Dad..." Zhang Shuniang said worriedly.
"Yes... it must be a misunderstanding!" Zhang Yan knew that he would not be spared, so he forced out a smile, comforted Zhang Shuniang, then walked out of the crowd with his trembling body, walked to the female cultivator surnamed Bai, cupped his hands and said: "
senior……"
I haven't said a single word yet.
"Snapped!"
Zhang Yan was slapped and staggered.
The crowd was as silent as cicadas, silent.
"Stand still!" the female cultivator surnamed Bai shouted coldly.
Zhang Yan was slapped until his eyes were filled with stars and his eyesight turned black. Hearing this, he had no choice but to stand up again and was soon slapped hard again.
It's quite symmetrical.
The female cultivator surnamed Bai pointed and cursed: "These two slaps will teach you a lesson. Remember in the future, trouble comes from your mouth, get out!"
Extremely spicy.
Zhang Yan's face was burning, and he quickly lowered his head and dove into the crowd.
"Dad, are you okay?" Zhang Shuniang pulled her father's arm with tears in her eyes and whispered.
"I'm fine, just don't ask."
Zhang Yan only felt that his old face had been completely disgraced. As for his face being swollen and painful from being slapped, it was nothing.
Zhou Hong on the side quickly pulled Zhang Shuniang: "Leave your father alone!"
"Alas!" Zhang Yan sighed gloomily.
"I told you to speak freely...that's right!" Chen Li was extremely speechless. If he had been cautious in his words and actions, how could such an unreasonable disaster have been in vain and he had established his authority in vain.
After this episode, the team set off quickly, met up with other teams halfway, formed a long queue, and left the shanty town in a mighty manner.
Next, it’s a long road.
Travel through wilderness, villages, small mortal towns...
From day to night, and from night to day.
We walked for two days and two nights in a row.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day that we finally arrived at our destination.
Further ahead, there is the endless forest sea, which is also the goal of this group of casual cultivators.
Most of the casual cultivators were tired and sleepy at this time, but even so they could not rest immediately.
Instead, build a temporary hut first. Fortunately, there is no shortage of wood here. As for what to build, it depends on your personal skills.
…
The cramped wooden house is filled with the fragrance of wood.
Chen Li brought a lot of dry firewood and stacked them neatly in the corner. When he turned around and saw that Zhou Hong had made the bed, he took out the dried meat and water:
"Eat some solid food and go to bed early today. Tomorrow won't be easy either."
"Yeah!" Zhou Hong responded tiredly.
The two of them ate some hastily and fell asleep as soon as the door was closed.
Had a night's rest.
The corvee began the next day.
The work is also simple, just burning wasteland.
Tens of thousands of casual cultivators, led by their own foundation builders, collected dry firewood and then set fire to the forest. The scene was extremely spectacular. At a glance, the fire was soaring into the sky and the smoke was billowing for more than ten miles.
Countless wild beasts in the forest were scurrying about, and were killed by casual cultivators one after another.
Especially as the weather was good, the wind direction today was blowing towards the forest. The wind helped the fire, and the fire spread rapidly, leaving everything it passed was scorched.
The only use of casual cultivators is to kill wild beasts that slip through the net. In fact, there are very few of them. Under such a fire, even monsters can only turn around and run away.
In just one day, the edge of the forest retreated several miles, and the fire was still burning until night.
The second day, the third day...
The casual cultivators were enjoying themselves, and the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.
When we rush to the fire line every morning, we gather together in twos and threes to chat, and then return to the camp in the evening.
The monks of the Zhen Sect didn't care. As for the Bai Zhuji, except for one appearance on the first day, he rarely showed up after that. Apparently, he was also very impatient with this kind of corvee.
"Even mortals can do this kind of thing, so there's no need for monks like us. The Zhen Sect just likes to torment people." Zhang Yan complained.
After spending three months here, I don’t know how many less talismans I have to draw and how many less spiritual stones I have earned.
"Dad, please stop saying a few words!" Zhang Shuniang on the side couldn't help but said.
Really, I will be beaten again when the time comes.
It's hard to get hurt.
Zhang Yan felt suffocated and said bravely: "You still blame your father. Tell me what happened, but I didn't say anything!"
"My lady, this is for your own good. To be honest, don't take it to heart. You are a person who only cares about food but not about fighting. Sooner or later, you will die from this bad mouth." Chen Li said with a smile.
Zhang Yan snorted: "Can't you even tell the truth?"
"Can't say it, hold it in!" Chen Li said. Suddenly he felt something in his heart and looked up:
"Destined to top your head!"
Everyone looked to the sky.
I saw a huge flying bird circling in the sky.
"This is a monster, right?" Zhou Hong said, looking at the sky.
"It's almost the same." Chen Li said: "Most of the monsters have their intelligence opened, and they are probably eyeing this place."
Not long after I finished speaking.
This giant bird suddenly swooped down, its speed was unbelievable. Before it could reach the ground, sand and rocks were flying on the ground, strong winds were blowing, and a casual cultivator was so frightened that he stood frozen.
The next moment, a huge sharp claw pierced the chest of the casual cultivator, grabbed it and flew into the air, and then dropped it from the sky.
The whole process was lightning-fast, with rabbits rising and magpies falling.
Before many monks could fully react, one of them had already suffered misfortune.
The distance was too far and it was too late for Chen Xi to save him.
"Bang!"
The corpse fell from a high altitude and hit the ground heavily like a torn sack.
The crowd suddenly panicked, and many casual cultivators began to flee.
"Don't run away, everyone. It's just a first-order monster. Stay close to each other for defense. Don't spread too thin!" A Huanzhen Sect monk shouted quickly when he saw this.
Another Huanzhen Sect monk immediately lit fireworks to warn.
But for a while, no one listened.
During this period, the harpy acted again, and caught up a casual cultivator who was trying to escape and threw him to death. This harpy was not hunting at all, but purely venting its anger.
It was quite cunning, specifically targeting the scattered cultivators who were running away and helpless, and succeeded frequently. It was not until the fifth cultivator was in trouble that the female cultivator surnamed Bai came belatedly and finally flew in quickly from a distance.
Perhaps knowing how powerful it was, the bird demon screamed in surprise and quickly flapped its wings and flew high.
As a natural flying creature, it is extremely fast. In just a few breaths, its originally huge figure has been reduced to a small dot.
The female cultivator surnamed Bai knew she could not catch up, so she flew down with her face ashen.
The harpy circled for a while, and seeing that there was no chance, it flew elsewhere, and soon wreaked havoc again, causing panic.
ps: There will be another chapter before twelve o'clock tonight.
