The sharp blade pierced into the flesh and made a popping sound.
Lin Zheyu easily solved several bandits and went up to explore.
After groping for a long time, I didn’t find much.
As before, they are all poisonous powders, medicinal powders, concealed weapons and other items.
Lin Zheyu has studied the Poison Code for so long. He can't be said to be proficient, but he can still be considered to have some understanding.
Most of the poisons used by these bandits are poisonous insects and poisonous weeds found in the mountains and forests, and are developed after mixing and matching. They are not very toxic.
It has a good effect on warriors below the Qi and Blood realm, but when faced with warriors like Lin Zheyu whose Qi and blood change, the effect is much worse.
The recovery ability of Qi and blood is very strong and can greatly relieve and restore the symptoms of toxin poisoning.
Ordinary poisons will not have much effect unless the dose is very large.
However, there are some extremely poisonous substances, so even Qi and Blood Realm warriors must be extremely careful.
The soul-inducing powder I got from the Zhao family before is one kind.
After Qi and Blood Realm warriors are hit by the Soul-Calling Powder, they can only use their powerful Qi and blood to slightly relieve the symptoms caused by the Soul-Calming Powder and gain time for treatment.
If you delay for too long, you risk losing your life.
"They are all ordinary poisons, not very valuable."
Lin Zheyu made a distinction and put it away casually.
In the past two days, he had been searching around the Lion Valley and killed many bandits, but unfortunately the harvest was not very great.
He was lucky last time and happened to meet a bandit who was returning from a robbery, so he was able to get such a good harvest.
"Searching around in the mountains and forests like a headless fly is not an option."
"Senior brother and the others normally only go out when bandits rob caravans. Maybe I should stay near the camp where senior brother and the others are stationed. When they go out to suppress the bandits, follow them and try to take advantage of them."
Lin Zheyu thought to himself.
This seems like a good idea.
The city guard has scouts located on major traffic arteries, always paying attention to the movements of bandits.
With their help, Lin Zheyu was able to quickly obtain the bandits' movements.
……
Songyi City.
Lin Zheyu's house is relatively quiet, with not many pedestrians coming and going.
Two unfamiliar faces appeared outside the courtyard.
They passed by outside the courtyard as if no one else was watching.
While the nearby Feihong Gang boys were not paying attention, one of them moved and turned over into the courtyard with extremely agile movements.
The other person walked by as if nothing had happened, came to sit under the shade of a tree, rested, and watched from outside.
When the man came to the courtyard, Xiao Huang called out.
Woof woof...
Just after he yelled twice, the man shot a stone from his hand and hit the dog on the head, knocking it out.
He looked around and began to search.
There are not many things in the courtyard except for the flowers and plants left behind by Liang Song and some equipment used for martial arts training.
"Leichuan Vine, Green Lady Bug, Red Minghua..."
"They are all poisonous medicinal materials and poisonous insects. This guy is really interested in poison."
The man searched around and found some toxic medicinal residues and poisonous insect corpses among the garbage that had not been disposed of.
After restoring the garbage to its original shape, he took out the wire, bent it a few times, and easily opened the locked door.
There are very few items in the bedroom, not much.
He searched around and found no other clues except that he knew that the other party had researched on poisons.
"It's so well hidden that I can't even find any silver coins." The man muttered softly.
He searched carefully and found nothing, not even anything of value.
Not long after, the accomplice outside the courtyard coughed lightly, and the man moved and jumped out of the courtyard.
Xing Mansion.
"Sir, I have searched Lin Zheyu's house and found some remnants of poisonous medicinal materials. That kid is indeed involved in poisons."
"Other than that, there was no other discovery and there were no signs of fighting in the yard."
"We have asked the surrounding residents and they did not hear any strange noises that night."
The man who just appeared in Lin Zheyu's yard was reporting the news to Xing Zhicheng.
"Yeah."
"You guys go down first!"
Xing Zhicheng nodded, his brows furrowed slightly, looking a little irritated.
"Dad, how about I just stand guard at the city gate and look for an opportunity to catch that kid back for interrogation?" Xing Penghai suggested.
That's what they've done before.
However, it was Lin Zheyu who was bidding farewell to his senior brother at the gate of the city. It took some time for Xing Penghai and Xing Jinglong to arrive in time.
"How to catch it?"
"Every time he comes back from an outing, he passes through a different city gate, and the time is not fixed. We only have so many people, and we can't do nothing and guard the four city gates."
Xing Zhicheng frowned and said.
Although the Xing family is powerful, they are only a branch of the Xing family, and they do not have many soldiers at their disposal.
Even because ten elite soldiers and two Zang Refining Realm masters died last time, their authority has been deprived of a lot.
"But, can this be the end of Uncle Zhiyuan's matter?"
"The clan leader and those clan uncles are really ruthless. When Uncle Zhiyuan and the others died, they replied that they would find someone to investigate and let us wait for the results!"
Xing Penghai said angrily.
In a big family, things are not as beautiful as ordinary people imagine.
In many families, there are internal conflicts within the family, and the struggle for power is extremely serious.
The father and son Xing Zhiyuan and Xing Jing'an had just died. The clan uncle's first thought was not to find the murderer and avenge them.
It was to grab resources and redivide the power in Xing Zhiyuan's hands, and the fight was red-faced.
This makes Xing Penghai feel a little chilled.
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll figure it out."
"Yesterday, news came that Lin Zheyu had broken through to the peak of the Bone Forging Realm and defeated many top Bone Forging Realm experts in the Feihong Gang."
"I have reached the peak of the Bone Forging Realm in less than half a year. I don't believe the clan leader and the elders will not be tempted." Xing Zhicheng said coldly.
A genius with such amazing qualifications, after being cultivated with secret medicine, can cultivate a powerful person in a short time.
If you're lucky, it's even possible to undergo a second transformation in the Qi and Blood Realm.
Such strong men are considered top-notch in the Xing family.
Although Lin Zheyu is unwilling to join the Xing family, it is not a big problem.
There are many drugs that can directly damage parts of the human brain and make people crazy.
Madman, it’s much easier to train.
Some of the dead warriors in the clan were trained like this.
"Dad, what do you mean..." Xing Penghai said meaningfully.
"Well, I will report this matter to the Fifth Elder, and they will definitely be tempted to catch him personally." Xing Zhicheng said calmly.
If the Fifth Elder takes action, he will definitely be able to capture Lin Zheyu.
When he finds an opportunity to interrogate, he will be able to get clues to Xing Zhiyuan's death.
……
Lin Zheyu found a location with a wide view in the woods 800 meters away from where Senior Brother Han Mo was stationed, and settled down.
His main thing every day is to keep an eye on the movements of the army. When he has nothing to do, he will take out the Poison Book to read, or practice the Liuhe Sword technique.
It’s not every day that large caravans pass through the official road.
Moreover, not every time a caravan passes by, bandits will rob it.
These bandits are very smart and know which caravans can be robbed and which caravans cannot be robbed.
He waited for four full days before finally waiting for Senior Brother Han Mo and others to send out troops.
Drive
Da da da da.
In the military camp, two teams composed of thirty elite soldiers rushed out.
Every soldier is wearing armor and fully armed.
The two teams were divided into two places and went to two places at the same time to support and suppress the bandits.
"Just this way!"
Lin Zheyu's expression changed and he followed one of the teams forward.
His speed is very fast, and the power of qi and blood in his body explodes.
As he hurried on with all his strength, his speed was not inferior to that of a horse in the army.
In less than ten minutes, Lin Zheyu arrived at the place where the bandits took action.
The air is filled with pungent smoke, which smells of drugs and various poisons.
Ding ding ding
Xiu Xi——
The battle was fierce.
The division of labor among the bandits is extremely clear. Some are hiding in the dark and constantly using crossbows to shoot at the Qi-blood warriors who harass the caravan.
The strength of the Qi-blood realm powerhouse has not yet reached the level of Qi-blood gauze, so he is somewhat helpless in the face of crossbow attacks.
Some bandits rushed directly to cover others to snatch the goods.
The bandits are pressed for time and must end the battle before the heavily armed elite soldiers arrive, otherwise they will have no choice but to flee when the city guards catch up.
Although there are only thirty well-trained, armored, and fully armed elite soldiers, they are not something that the bandits can match if they cooperate with the military formation.
Facing the attack of the bandits, the caravan's guards did not panic.
Their faces were covered with wet cloths soaked in special medicinal liquid, and their nostrils were covered, and then they swallowed poison pills to avoid poisoning.
"The city guards are coming, retreat!"
After a while, the robber responsible for tracking shouted loudly.
"Fuck, these guys are so fast!"
"Made, wait a little longer, we'll get it soon!"
"Fuck, retreat, retreat for me!"
The leading man shouted loudly.
Boom!
By accident, he was violently blown away by the Qi and Blood Realm warriors from the caravan.
At the same time, more than a dozen arrows were shot at the Qi and Blood Realm warrior, forcing him to retreat.
Seeing this, the other bandits couldn't care less and began to retreat one after another.
If you don’t leave, it will be too late!
After the battle ended, Lin Zheyu followed quietly.
Shashasha.
In the mountain forest, fifty-eight strong men shuttled past quickly.
With their familiarity with the terrain, they moved very quickly, as if they were walking on flat ground.
"Go faster and take the road on the right," the leading man said.
That road is more difficult and dangerous. If the horses can't get in, the city guards will retreat.
After passing through the dangerous path, the group felt a little more relaxed.
Whoosh!
Phew!
Suddenly, a cold light flashed through.
A flying knife shot out from the dense forest and sank directly into the forehead of the leading man.
The man's eyes widened, full of shock and unwillingness.
"Who!"
The bandits shouted, and the brothers holding crossbows fired in the direction of the flying knives, but no enemy was found.
The crossbow's ambush shooting effect is outstanding, but in the forest, it is of little use when being attacked by someone.
"Leave your things and spare your lives!"
Lin Zheyu's cold voice echoed in the mountains and forests.
The robbers looked solemnly and turned their attention to the other man.
The leader is dead, and only he can make the decision.
"This is a master!"
A man has a little talent in his heart.
Qiu Wei's strength has reached the peak level of the Zang Refining Realm. Only Qi and Blood Realm warriors can easily kill him with a flying knife, and they are not ordinary Qi and Blood Realm warriors.
Madhu, why is this Qi-Blood Realm powerhouse ambushing us little people after he is full?
The man cursed secretly in his heart.
If such strong men fight face to face, with many people and crossbows in hand, they have a good chance of winning.
But they are in the forest, and the opponent is hiding in the dark to attack. If they fight, they have no chance of winning.
The man took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Put the things down, let's go!"
The robbers looked at each other with unwilling expressions on their faces. They had to kill several of their brothers to get these things.
The bandits gritted their teeth, put down their things, carried the boss's body, and rushed into the forest.
Lin Zheyu slowly walked out of the forest and picked up the items on the ground
He counted the things he got. There weren't many things, they were all gold, silver, and jewelry.
The thieves stole valuable items.
Lin Zheyu estimated that it could be sold for one hundred and eighty taels of silver.
"It's not easy for these thieves. They risked their lives and finally robbed hundreds of taels of items, and they were even robbed by me."
Lin Zheyu muttered.
He didn't feel any guilt in his heart, so he just sighed.
These bandits usually make a living by hunting and gathering herbs. They have dedicated people to keep an eye on the caravans. When they come to work, they will gather together and take action.
If they encounter a big job, one vote is enough for them to live a good life for several years.
Time passes slowly.
Another seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Zheyu stored all the stolen things in a secret place.
These things are difficult to sell, and can only be sold on the black market on the first and fifteenth of each month.
In the past seven days, he encountered another robbery.
However, this group of bandits was a little greedy and did not know how to retreat in time. After being caught up by the city guards, most of them were wiped out.
The things they grabbed were also confiscated by the city guards, which made Lin Zheyu feel a bit regretful.
After the new year, the weather will get warmer.
The war in the distance seems to have begun again.
Lin Zheyu can often see troops being mobilized from afar and rushing to the front line to support them.
You can also see many refugees passing by.
Mountain.
As usual, Lin Zheyu practiced the Liuhe sword technique in a wide field of view, while paying attention to the trends in the military camp.
At this time, he found dozens of thin refugees passing by, walking towards Songyicheng.
Halfway through, a group of strong men rushed out of the forest. The strong men didn't know what they said to them, and the group of refugees followed them.
"Strange, these people seem to be bandits hiding in the mountains. How could they be so kind to accept the refugees?"
Lin Zheyu had some doubts in his heart.
He has seen it several times. Every time a refugee passes by, someone will appear in the mountains and take them away.
As if he thought of something, Lin Zheyu's face turned a little ugly.
"Follow me and have a look!" Lin Zheyu secretly said.
With the strength of those bandits, they can make a living even through hunting, and they won't do such things as eating human flesh, right?
Lin Zheyu frowned slightly, thinking it was unlikely.
It's just that he can't figure out what these guys want to do by accepting refugees?
……
Outside the Lion Valley, there is a thin mist.
These fogs are a mixture of smoke miasma and poisonous miasma. If you are not prepared in advance and stay in it for a long time, you will get seriously ill, and you may even die if you are not careful.
"Hurry up, there will be food inside."
A strong man loudly urged the refugees and led them in the direction of Lion Valley.
"Brother, bring these refugees over, and we will have thirty-eight contribution points. I heard that the fighting has started again, and there are more and more refugees."
"You will soon accumulate 100 contribution points, which can be exchanged for a blood pill." The man next to him said with a smile.
"Hey, after eating the blood pill, I will be a strong man in the Qi and Blood realm. Then I can rob whoever I want!" The strong man chuckled.
The man who claimed to be the priest of the Nine Nether Sect promised the blood pill to them. After eating the pill, they could directly break through to the level of Qi and Blood Realm.
Not only blood pills, there are all kinds of items in the redemption list given by the priest, including pills that can extend people's lives for ten years.
"Brother, when you have enough contribution points, give me another one. I'll keep it for when I reach the peak of Zang Refining Realm." The man said hopefully.
"Don't worry, everyone has a share."
"Everyone should work harder and strive to get more contribution points. In the future, no matter who reaches the peak of the Zang Refining Realm, they can use their contribution points to exchange for blood pills and break through to the Qi and Blood Realm!"
The strong man said loudly, causing the other boys to cheer.
When the refugees heard this, their faces were a little frightened. They wanted to leave, but they did not dare to speak out in the face of this group of ferocious guys.
"Sir... Sir, you said that there will be food when we get there. You won't... lie to us, right?" Someone bravely said timidly.
"Why are you lying to me? There are already a lot of people there."
"When you get there, you can continue to farm and farm. Become a member of the Jiuyou Sect, and the Demon God will take care of you!" The strong man imitated the priest's tone of voice and comforted him.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" the refugees said gratefully.
No matter what, as long as you can survive.
Along the way, they watched their companions die constantly, and their hearts were filled with despair.
Many cities no longer accept refugees. Even if there are kind-hearted people giving porridge outside the city, the amount of porridge is enough for several people.
Rustling.
In the mountain forest, the breeze blows by and the trees sway.
Lin Zheyu used the Turtle Breathing Technique with all his strength, with the aura on his body reduced to a minimum, and followed the group of people.
He also heard what the strong man said just now.
"Blood Pill?"
"Contribution points?"
Lin Zheyu was a little curious: "What kind of elixir is Blood Pill? It can actually allow people to directly break through to the Qi and Blood realm!"
If a warrior wants to break through to the Qi and Blood realm, he needs a strong enough spirit.
Only when the spirit is strong enough can the blood and energy be sensed, and the blood and body essence be fused together by the spirit to form the power of qi and blood.
If this blood pill can directly make people break through to the Qi and Blood realm, could it also have the effect of improving the spirit?
"I've been here in Songyicheng for so long, and I haven't seen any elixirs before. All I use are medicinal decoctions made from medicinal materials. Even Xu Qinyi, Ren Qingfeng and other young masters from aristocratic families are like this. They all use medicinal decoctions."<
/p>
"Interesting, there seems to be quite a secret hidden in this Lion Valley!" Lin Zheyu showed a hint of interest on his face.
[ps: There are some things today, only one update.]
