When the cold wind blows, a thick smell of blood fills the air.
There are traces of black gas remaining on the broken limbs and meat on the ground, and the places where the claws of the living corpse have grabbed them appear charred black.
Two middle-aged men walked out of the forest and stepped on the fallen leaves, making a rustling sound.
They looked at the bloody ground with expressionless faces.
"These guys are members of the Jiuyou Sect that just appeared in the Lion Valley. Could it be that their people killed Fourth Uncle?"
The man on the left looked at the living corpse that was led away and frowned.
"It's unlikely. My father's strength has reached the Qi and Blood realm. Coupled with Zhao Hai's Poison Dao ability, unless he is a master with Qi and Blood Transformation II or above, he will never be their opponent."
"And we have never had a conflict with the Jiuyou Sect. They should not attack my father." Zhao Weichuan said.
He is Zhao Ziyan's father. Since there was no news about his father and son for several days, he came out to find out the news himself.
Unfortunately, several days have passed and nothing has been found, not even the body.
"You must be a master if you can make Fourth Uncle and the others die silently."
"My fourth uncle has always been cautious in doing things, but he offended too many people when he was young. Maybe he met his enemies and sought revenge." Zhao Weikun sighed.
"Let's go, after collecting the corpse poison, come and have a look."
"This Jiuyou Sect is so generous. It dares to attack living corpses. I don't know whether it is because it is too confident or because it does not overestimate its capabilities."
Zhao Weichuan said, starting to collect corpse poison.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Weikun walked over, took out the jade bottle and started collecting it.
Corpse poison is a rare poison that can be used to make many potent poisons. Even the Zhao family has difficulty purchasing it.
After being eroded by the power of Yin evil, the amount of poison produced is extremely rare. There is only a small amount of burnt black powder scraped from minced meat and trees.
Beasts roar outside the mountain.
The living corpse ran wildly after the horse, becoming so ferocious that everyone around it ran away.
Two men stood in the distance, watching this scene from a distance.
"The strength of this living corpse is so terrifying!"
The middle-aged man frowned and said solemnly.
Beside him, Xing Penghai clenched his fists and looked at the direction in which the living corpse was going away, his body trembling slightly.
The emotions in his heart were extremely complex, including excitement, excitement, and fear.
"Dad, is this the result of practicing immortality?" Xing Penghai asked.
"Well, it is recorded in the classics left by our ancestors that the way to immortality and immortality is beyond human reach. Anyone who attempts to touch it will suffer divine punishment and become a demon."
Xing Zhicheng said.
Looking at the direction in which the living corpse was leaving, his eyes were a little hot.
The aura on his body is a bit stronger than that of Xing Penghai, and there are faint fluctuations of qi and blood. It is obvious that he has reached the strength of qi and blood realm.
However, his energy and blood fluctuations are not strong, very weak, and he has just entered the energy and blood realm for the first time.
Every trace of qi and blood power in the body exploded twice with full force and was completely consumed.
"Is what the Jiuyou Sect said credible?"
Xing Penghai couldn't help but ask: "If anyone who attempts to gain immortality will fall into the devil's path, then why does the Jiuyou Sect have such confidence?"
"I don't know. The clan leader should know some secrets, otherwise he wouldn't cooperate with them."
"But their methods are extraordinary. They can even make talisman cards. Maybe there is an alternative way to seek immortality."
Xing Zhicheng said.
"The strength of this living corpse is so terrifying. I wonder why the Jiuyou Sect provokes it?"
Xing Penghai asked doubtfully, "No one in the Jiuyou Sect can deal with it, right?"
"The Jiuyou Sect is eyeing the iron mines in Baishi Mountain. I guess they are planning to drive the living corpses to Baishi Mountain and take advantage of the chaos to launch an attack."
Xing Zhicheng pondered for a moment and said.
"Is this possible?" Xing Penghai was a little skeptical.
"It's difficult, but the priests of Jiuyou Sect have some tricks, so I guess they can do it."
"Let's go, our mission has been completed, and the living corpses have been brought out. Next, it depends on the ability of the Jiuyou Sect."
"Go back and make arrangements, and take advantage of the Jiuyou Sect's attack to fish in troubled waters and grab some benefits." Xing Zhicheng said.
"Yes, Dad."
Xing Penghai nodded yes.
He wanted to go back and inform Xing Jing'an, asking him to prepare and capture Lin Zheyu in the meantime to see if he could find out any clues to Xing Jinglong's death.
……
Stationing in Baishi Mountain is an extremely boring thing.
But for Lin Zheyu, it has little impact.
Ordinary members of the Feihong Gang live in a dormitory, but Lin Zheyu and the others have their own small independent courtyard.
He spent most of his time in the other courtyard, studying the poison code and practicing martial arts, and occasionally went out for inspections.
As long as he is not attacked by enemies, he has nothing to do and is very free.
"Master Lin!"
When the younger brothers saw Lin Zheyu, they all said hello.
"Is there anything unusual?" Lin Zheyu asked.
"Sir, everything is normal."
"Very good, continue patrolling, don't let up any slack, if there is any abnormality, report it immediately." Lin Zheyu said.
"Yes, sir!"
The younger brother responded and continued patrolling.
Not far away, a strong man looked at Lin Zheyu from a distance, with an expression of resentment and disdain on his face.
When Lin Zheyu looked at him, the strong man seemed to change his face, with a flattering look on his face.
It wasn't until Lin Zheyu left that he chuckled softly and cursed: "Made, a little guy who is not in the Zang Refining Realm can actually become the person in charge."
Xu She sneered, feeling full of dissatisfaction.
He has been an old man of the Feihong Gang for more than ten years. His strength has reached the peak of the Bone Forging Realm, and he is just a hair away from being promoted to the Zang Refining Realm.
But it has been unable to break through.
Xu She felt that his talent was outstanding, but it was a pity that although he had the surname Xu, he was not from the Xu family and did not have enough money for him to practice martial arts.
If he had enough silver, he believed that he would definitely be able to break through to the Zang-Refining realm.
"Gang Leader Xu is not honest in his work. I have been loyal for decades. If you don't promote me, just forget about it. Instead, go and promote a little guy from the Bone Forging Realm who doesn't even have a hair on his head."
"I'm so loyal!"
"The benefits promised by those bandits are very good. Soon, Songyicheng may be captured by the rebel army. If we establish a good relationship in advance, there will be many ways out."
Xu She murmured, finally making up his mind.
He had contacted the group of bandits in Lion Valley before.
Xu She had previously thought that Feihong had treated him very well, and he still wanted to work in Feihong. He didn't want to enter the Lion Valley and live a life full of wet, sticky, poisonous insects and smoke.
But since Lin Zheyu came, his mentality has changed.
People do not suffer from scarcity but from inequality.
I have worked hard and loyally for more than ten years and made a lot of contributions.
And how come that boy, just a few months after joining the Feihong Gang, was promoted to the status of a master in the Zang Refining Realm, just because of his talent?
Damn talent!
Xu She was unwilling to give in, and the benefits promised by the bandits echoed in his mind.
If I have those resources and get that much money, I will definitely be able to advance to the Zang-Refining Realm. I can definitely do it.
Xu She murmured.
He didn't show it, showed his usual smile, patrolled around, and then got together with several masters of the Bone Forging Realm to brag and spank.
After Lin Zheyu walked away, he looked back at Xu She.
Although the kid changed his face very quickly just now, his perception was so keen that he still saw the hostility in Xu She's eyes.
"After so many days, this guy is still so hostile to me."
Lin Zheyu frowned slightly.
When he became the person in charge, his subordinates had no objections, but those who were good at the Bone Forging Realm were extremely unconvinced.
Why can a little guy in the middle stage of the Bone Forging Realm become their person in charge?
Most of them are masters in the middle or even peak bone forging realm, but they have to listen to the instructions of a teenager whose strength is not as good as theirs, and they feel a little unbalanced.
However, they only said some sarcastic remarks behind their backs and did not dare to show it.
"Forget it, they are just little guys from the Bone Forging Realm. After returning to Songyi City, we won't have many interactions."
Lin Zheyu shook his head and ignored it.
He only stayed at Baishi Mountain for a month and returned soon.
This month should be a different place to concentrate on practicing martial arts and studying poison scriptures.
Walking all the way south, after passing through a section of barren land, a dense forest appeared in front of you.
Entering the dense forest, Lin Zheyu found a secluded place and started practicing martial arts.
In the past two days, he would come to this forest to practice martial arts, and he would practice for a long time.
Bang bang bang.
In the dense forest, there was a banging sound.
Lin Zheyu moved around nimbly in the forest, and from time to time he would throw out a wild bull fist. The energy and blood in his body exploded, and the punch hit the air, and the strong wind howled.
I have been to Baishi Mountain for five days. On the first day, I looked for opportunities to break the limit. Now four days have passed and I can make money again.
Time passed, and more than three hours passed quickly.
After his qi and blood were purified and improved, his endurance improved a lot. Even if he ran out of qi and blood, he was still far from reaching his physical limit.
Lin Zheyu has made weight-bearing equipment, but with the forging skills of the Songyicheng blacksmith, the weight-bearing equipment is very rough.
Although he was able to shorten the time to break through the limit to one and a half hours, he still gave up.
If you wear weight-bearing equipment, your martial arts movements will be severely deformed, and bursts of force may even cause muscle strain, so you can only do more basic exercises.
And through martial arts training to break through the physical limit, the closer he gets to the limit, he has an inexplicable understanding of martial arts skills.
When you realize exhaustion, muscle power explodes, qi and blood circulate, and the true meaning of the mysterious and mysterious skills is revealed.
This kind of experience is extremely precious and cannot be compared with the shortened time.
"Huh..."
Lin Zheyu let out a long breath and sat weakly leaning against the big tree.
This mountain forest is extremely secluded. He observed it carefully when he came here and no one was following him.
Even if the enemy attacks, the place of attack is also an iron ore smelting area. If you don't come here, you will still be safe.
Moreover, the time for him to be exhausted did not last very long. He used his source power to increase his strength, and as long as there were enough medicinal materials to provide energy, he recovered quickly.
"Another two units of source power."
Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness and grinned.
When the breakthrough reaches the point where Qi and blood change, maybe on average three times, you will be able to obtain two units of source power at one time.
【God rewards those who work hard】
Name: Lin Zheyu
Source power:2
Skills:
Man Niu Fist (Perfect)
Jin Yan Gong (5th level 40%)
Turtle Breathing Technique (Third Level 2%)
Liuhe Knife (small percentage 8%)
Poison King Body (0% on the first level)
After sitting cross-legged on the ground and squeezing the body to extract a little bit of energy and blood, the muscle soreness was relieved a lot.
He stood up, filled a basin of water with the prepared wooden basin, took out a small leather bag containing four pairs of Yixuezhuanggu decoction powder, and poured the powder into the water.
Put your hand in and mix it evenly, then soak it in, and the thought comes out: 'Use two units of source power to improve Jin Yan Gong.'
A familiar feeling came, and the qi and blood in Lin Zheyu's body recovered quickly. Under the influence of the mysterious energy, impurities were further removed and the qi and blood energy was purified.
After a few breaths.
Lin Zheyu exhaled a long breath of turbid air, opened his eyes, and the blood and energy in his body became full again.
Jump!
With a sudden step under his feet, the power of energy and blood exploded. The terrifying force blasted a small crater on the ground, and his body shot out.
With a twist of the body, the power of Qi and blood exploded, and his right leg kicked out like lightning, hitting the big tree next to him.
Only a loud banging sound and a clicking sound were heard.
A gap opened up where Lin Zheyu kicked him. The cracks spread along the gap and the big tree collapsed.
"Before the Qi and blood changes, the power is so terrifying. Those who have Qi and blood change in the fourth and fifth changes, aren't they all humanoid ferocious beasts?"
Lin Zheyu felt the power in his body and couldn't help but sigh.
His qi and blood are now half purified, and he is still 44% progress before the qi and blood changes. Even so, the power that bursts out is extremely astonishing.
……
Dark night falls, and the cold wind howls on the mountain.
Those stationed at Baishi Mountain are at least strong men, so the cold is nothing.
The torch was lit, and Lin Zheyu sat in front of the bonfire and roasted the game hunted in the mountains.
Not far away, Xu She and several Bone Forging Realm masters were sitting together gambling. This was their entertainment activity every night, and Lin Zheyu did not restrict them too much.
Baishi Mountain is boring enough. If even this kind of entertainment is prohibited, I’m afraid I’ll go crazy.
"Ha, I won, give me money, give me money!"
Xu She laughed and said to several people.
"Here, let's play another game. If you don't believe it, I will lose!" the strong man opposite Xu She said unwillingly.
"I'm not coming, I'm not coming, I'm going to put some water first."
Xu She waved his hand and said with a smile: "You can play by yourselves. I'll go for a walk and patrol by the way."
After draining the water aside, I shook my whole body and started patrolling leisurely.
Lin Zheyu glanced at him without paying much attention.
Xu She is a smart man who knows how to take things easy. He often finds excuses to run away after winning some money.
Rumble.
Xu She patrolled along the defense line. Not far away, the Baihe River was rushing and making a rumbling sound.
The south side of Baishi Mountain is not only steep, but also backed by the rapid White River on the other side. It is difficult to invade without being discovered.
"The terrain is really steep. If no one is involved, it would be impossible to invade from here."
Xu She looked at the rushing river and sighed. He thought for a while and said to himself: "Those bandits are not good people. We have to let them pay first."
In front of the bonfire, firewood burns and crackles.
"What's the matter?"
Lin Zheyu looked at Xu She who was walking towards him and asked.
"Sir, I won't be going back for the next month. I want to take two days off tomorrow and go back to see my wife, children and children." Xu She said.
In order to earn more money and buy medicinal materials to break through to the Zang Refining Realm, he has been stationed at Baishi Mountain for half a year, going back two days every month.
Here, wages are three taels more per month than in Songyicheng.
"Okay, there are a lot of bandits on the road, so be careful when you go back. See if anyone wants to go back, and try to form a team with a few people." Lin Zheyu nodded and said.
"Thank you, sir."
……
The next day.
Outside Baishi Mountain, in the forest near Lion Valley.
Xu She sneaked into the forest and arrived at the place agreed upon before.
"Who!"
In the woods, there was a sound of soft drinking.
"It's me, Xu She. I made an appointment with Sun Mao to meet here a month ago." Xu She said.
He vaguely saw someone in the forest aiming a crossbow at him, and he couldn't help but shed cold sweat.
"What am I afraid of? They need me now and won't take action against me." Xu She said secretly.
Shashasha.
There was a rustling sound in the woods, and someone went to call it.
After waiting for about ten minutes, a strange man walked out with a smile.
He has a burly figure and a fierce face. Looking at his face, you can tell that this guy is not a good person.
"Xu She?"
"Did Sun Mao contact you?"
The man looked at Xu She and asked lightly.
"Yes, I wonder who you are?"
Xu She suppressed the anxiety in his heart and asked aloud.
"I, Sun Likun, that guy Sun Mao died some time ago, and now I am responsible for his affairs." Sun Likun said.
He took out a notebook with extremely messy writing from his arms, dipped his fingers in saliva, and started searching.
Even though he looks fierce, he still knows how to read.
Most of those who can practice martial arts to the peak of the Bone Forging Realm have some money at home, and they would send them to study and read when they were young.
"Dead...dead?"
Xu She looked stunned, a little surprised.
He looked at Sun Likun and others, and when he mentioned Sun Mao's death, he still smiled and didn't care, as if a dog had died.
"Found it, here, Xu She."
"You figured it out so quickly? Have you decided to join us?"
After Sun Likun confirmed that he was right, he raised his head and looked at Xu She and said with a smile.
"Yes."
"But I have a condition. I have to pay half of my fees first, otherwise I won't feel at ease." Xu She said.
"Easy to say."
"Let's go, I'll take you to see Mr. Fan, you just listen to his arrangements."
Sun Likun chuckled.
He grabbed Xu She's neck and led him into the dense forest.
When Xu She walked out of it, there was an expression of excitement on his face, carrying a big package on his back.
He carefully looked around and ran towards home quickly.
It's not safe outside now. Don't let others snatch the things you just got. Otherwise, he will cry to death.
Sun Likun walked out of the dense forest and watched Xu She go away with a smile.
"Brother, are you just giving it to him?" The younger brother beside him asked, "What if that kid sells us when he goes back?"
"What are you afraid of? Mr. Fan must have his reasons for making such arrangements."
"I don't know what happened to the brothers who went to lure the living corpses today. Sun Mao, an idiot, even volunteered. Fortunately, I was smart and didn't go into troubled waters." Sun Likun said.
It's been several days, but it still hasn't been successful.
Just by luring the living corpses out of Beast Roar Mountain, many brothers died.
"Made, what's the point of being a deacon? They're all so desperate."
Sun Likun muttered that he did not believe the nonsense of those in the Jiuyou Sect.
It is said that after becoming a deacon, you will be able to obtain magical medicine, which will make you stronger quickly. You may even have the opportunity to receive the gift of the Demon God and live forever.
