The fatigue caused by psychological fear cannot be eliminated by taking a short rest.
After walking almost fifty miles along the mountain road, it was almost noon when they came to several small hills. Kong Lingjian decided to rest here today and not leave in the afternoon.
This decision was more considerate, and others had no intention of objecting. Except for what happened this morning, the entire team had been walking in the Hengduan Mountains for almost ten days. During the day, they were either rushing or fighting. The strings were always very tight, so it was time to take a rest.
Chen Taizhong is still with Xie Mingxian, but no one dares to underestimate Xie Mingxian at this time - only for the friendship he has shown with Mr. Chen, who can not be wary of him?
There is no title family in Meishui City. The two hegemons of the Feng family and the Du family are just high-level spiritual immortals in their families. However, they are friends of the Xie family and are the masters who dare to challenge the beast cultivators.
Du Chunhui did not follow Chen Taizhong closely. After all, he was an arrogant person. He said that he would risk his life, but if he was asked to follow the other party like a bastard, he was really not used to it.
However, after losing such a big person, he had no intention of doing anything else and just sat cross-legged in his tent to practice without saying a word.
During lunch, Feng Hua came to Chen Taizhong with a bottle of wine and said with a smile, "Have a drink and you'll be fine this afternoon. Just put a few more alerts on it."
Chen Taizhong was also a little dissatisfied with Feng Hua. Although this guy had no choice but to run away in the morning, he was the first one to run away after all. However, he couldn't reach out to hit the smiling man, so he just took out a bottle of wine.
Shake it at the other person and say, "I have it myself."
Feng Hua didn't take it seriously either. Although the Fenghuang Realm is a world of cultivators, it is still the most hands-on when it comes to food. Although the people who make up the expedition team know each other relatively well, some people are more cautious.
, but it is also human nature.
But... you just saved Du Chunhui this morning. If I do something now, wouldn't I be despised by everyone?
He could only think that Mr. Chen was a person with a rather eccentric personality.
The two of them chatted while eating. Soon after the meal was finished, they drank from the wine glass. As the alcohol hit their heads slightly, some barriers between words disappeared.
Feng Hua looked for an opportunity and made a false statement, "Du Chunhui is very arrogant. Even though you saved him, he talks so beautifully, maybe he is still holding back his energy to harm you... I can see how repaying kindness with enmity can
Too many."
Chen Taizhong shook his head disapprovingly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Then he casually asked, "Why did he want to harm me?"
"Because you saved him," Feng Hua smiled, his eyes a little blurry, and his voice became lower and lower.
"He doesn't hate that he made a mistake first. Instead, he hates that you took action too late and made him lose face. Besides, your mid-level spirit immortal can have such a high combat effectiveness. I think... maybe he is thinking about something else.
thing."
Chen Taizhong hates this guy a little. Although what this person said may be the truth, his intention to sow discord is obvious - when encountering a tough battle, you can run faster than anyone else, and now you have the nerve to twist your mouth?
Of course, he also knew that the Du family and the Feng family in Meishui did not get along, so he answered lightly, "I saved him just for the sake of being a human race. As for what other ideas he has... I need to worry about it."
?”
"Mr. Chen's mind is admirable," Feng Hua smiled and gave a thumbs up, "It means that your cultivation is amazing and you have the confidence, but I still have to say... you know people, you know faces, but you don't know hearts.
"
Those who talk about right and wrong must be right and wrong. Chen Taizhong gave him a rare look, and then nodded slightly, "I actually don't have any enemies... they are all dead."
"That's good," Feng Hua smiled and nodded, but that smile looked a little uncomfortable.
In fact, he was quite curious about the other party's skills and didn't have the guts to attack rashly, but he couldn't help but inquire about it. In the end, this test was obviously a failure - the other party seemed to have sensed his purpose.
After saying a few more words, Chen Taizhong stood up to make tea. Upon seeing this, Feng Hua said goodbye and left.
Not long after he left, Lei Xiaozhu came over. She put out a chair and sat down. She took out a tea cup, obviously intending to drink the tea, and asked, "How do you think about what I said?"
Already?"
Chen Taizhong thought about it, then shook his head, "We will discuss it in detail after this mission is over."
Lei Xiaozhu glanced at him, and after thinking about it, his face suddenly turned pale, and he asked nervously, "You...don't have any bad premonitions, right?"
Thinking of this man's magic prediction yesterday, she was really worried - it would be terrible if there was a similar danger again.
"I didn't learn the magic of heaven," Chen Taizhong smiled. With such a little courage, I don't know how you managed to become an intermediate spiritual immortal.
The next moment, he glanced at Xie Mingxian who was not far away, "Mingxian, if you are not sleepy, help others patrol the surrounding area."
Xie Mingxian was a man with raised eyebrows. He knew that the two of them had something to say, so he stood up with a smile and said, "When I was exploring just now, I found traces of short-tailed tapirs. I'll go take a look and see if I can get one back."
Satisfy your craving."
Chen Taizhong nodded, "Be careful, it's best to find someone to accompany you."
As expected, Xie Mingxian found a junior spirit immortal who was resting, and the other party also wanted to get closer to him. The two hit it off immediately, stood up and left the camp.
When Chen Taizhong saw that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and asked, "I want to go over there... Do you have any connections?"
"Over there...you mean Zhongzhou?" Lei Xiaozhu frowned when he heard this, and then took a breath, "I said, this matter is too taboo."
"I know," Chen Taizhong nodded expressionlessly. Don't you see that I sent Xie Mingxian away?
"I really can't help you with this matter," Lei Xiaozhu pondered for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile. She is a disciple of the sect and is not very interested in smuggling, and Miss Lei doesn't have much experience to begin with.
However, she still lowered her voice and gave advice, "If you are looking for this kind of path, Yashan City is more suitable, but there is a mixed bag of people here, so you'd better be cautious."
Chen Taizhong nodded slowly. Yashan is close to the Hengduan Mountains. There must be more people here who know similar connections, but...it is really difficult to find such people.
"There is a senior brother in my faction who seems to have similar connections," Lei Xiaozhu continued to speak in a low voice, "I can go back and ask for you, but I dare not give you an accurate answer."
"Just ask," Chen Taizhong nodded, "Then I'll wait for you and help you with some tasks."
Lei Xiaozhu thought about it and asked him again, "What do you want to find this way?"
He must have passed the test secretly. Chen Taizhong waited for an answer before he realized. Doesn't this mean that he is a casual cultivator? So he smiled mysteriously and said, "I have my own reasons... How can a senior brother in your sect do this?"
"Who would think there are too many spiritual stones?" Lei Xiaozhu asked disapprovingly. She even told him that she could help find out such taboo information, but he didn't answer properly.
However, she didn't think too much about it. She just felt a little uncomfortable because she was not treated as one of her own. The next moment, she explained, "Actually, there are many medicinal materials, but we in Dongmang have very few. We mainly practice elixir...
You have to figure it out yourself.”
After chatting for a few more words and drinking a cup of tea, she stood up and was about to leave. She suddenly asked again, "You said we won't run into any big trouble in the rest of our adventure, right?"
"How do I know this?" Chen Taizhong smiled.
The next adventure really didn't have much trouble, during which we encountered another level nine spirit beast. However, this spirit beast majored in wood-type skills and was defeated by the Hundred Medicine Valley disciples who were proficient in the wood-type.
Du Chunhui, on the other hand, is a metal-based technique with attribute suppression.
After a fierce fight, the spirit beast escaped. Chen Taizhong still used his gloves in this battle, which was not very effective, but no one dared to accuse him.
The biggest surprise came from the map in Kong Lingjian's hand. The map he obtained was obtained from an immortal in Bai Yao Valley, and the markings were not clear enough.
The immortal passed by this area in the past and only found a cluster of immature "see fungi". He knew that if he picked it at that time, it would undoubtedly be a waste of natural resources. Later, he asked Baiyao Valley for something and passed the news on.
However, the map he gave was a bit outrageous. The scale on it was seriously out of balance. Everyone thought they could reach their destination by walking another two hundred miles, but they didn't expect to go a full three hundred miles before they saw the canyon shown on the map.
The canyon is not big, about 17 to 18 meters wide and about two miles long. The cliffs on both sides are two to three hundred meters high. It is dark and humid inside, and the light is not very good.
Relying on the three "pin"-shaped white markings on the boulders outside the canyon, Kong Lingjian nodded, "This is it. Everyone, be careful and act according to the plan."
I hope there won’t be any more beast cultivators. The thought came to everyone’s mind. This time when they entered the Hengduan Mountains, they encountered quite a few beast cultivators.
According to the pre-agreed plan, the entire team formed a battle formation, with two people in the front exploring the way, two people in the rear responding, and in the middle was the main team who was ready to take action at any time.
However, everyone traversed the canyon and did not see any spiritual beasts. There were some insects and ants that like darkness, and a large group of bats.
There are no powerful spiritual beasts, which is a good thing, but the bad thing is that no one found any fungi. Kong Lingjian's face suddenly turned a little green, "Let go and search carefully."
The light here is really a bit dark, but everyone present is a cultivator, so it is not affected much. After searching for almost two hours, a junior spirit immortal said in surprise, "I found it, this is a fungus, right?"
"
When Kong Lingjian heard this, he jumped over with a few big steps, but Lei Xiaozhu was closer and arrived faster.
She walked over and bent down, and the next moment she screamed, "The fungus... was actually removed?"
