Chapter 1 Dark Shadows at Night

"For the next patrol, try to narrow the scope as much as possible."

At the building in the center of the mine, the ten disciples of the clan hall were gathered together, and Deacon Chen Shaojie said in a solemn tone.

"In addition, when patrolling, it is best to change it to two people together, so that each other can take care of each other."

The situation has become somewhat unexpected in recent days. There are several times more monsters appearing nearby than usual, and the danger has greatly increased.

The Chen family's iron guards were originally patrolling in teams, but now they have split one team into two teams, making a total of six teams. The three teams are responsible for patrolling in three directions, taking turns.

Each team of Chen Family Iron Guards is led by a ninth-level qi-blood realm. They are very powerful and cover a wider area. They can respond better when encountering calls for help, etc.

After the meeting, Chen Zong and Chen Chong returned, took a short rest, then fully armed, left the small courtyard together to patrol the surrounding areas.

If they find one or two first-level low-grade and medium-grade monsters, they can deal with them directly. If they encounter multiple monsters that they cannot handle, they will use distress flares. They only need to support them, and the Chen family's iron guards will rush to the rescue.

The two patrolled for a while and did not encounter any monsters, but they found many traces of monster activities.

During this period of time, the two of them hunted more than thirty demonic beasts in total. Their flesh and blood were eaten by them, and their bones were boiled into bone glue and slowly consumed by them. Their cultivation level improved significantly.

, the muscles and bones also become stronger.

The standard arm strength is one thousand kilograms. This is the upper limit of a warrior's physique. Unless there is some special opportunity, it cannot be exceeded, but this does not mean that the physique cannot continue to be strengthened.

Such as wood, stone, steel.

With the same strength and the same speed, regular consumption of monster flesh and blood, especially bone glue made from monster bones, can further strengthen the muscles and bones, turning them from wood to stone, and then from stone to steel.

The stronger the muscles and bones are, the stronger they are, and the stronger the defense is and the greater the endurance is.

Compared with when he first came to the mine, Chen Zong could feel that his muscles and bones had strengthened by at least about 30%. However, gradually, the strengthening effect of the bone glue made from the bones of first-grade low-grade and mid-grade monsters became weaker and weaker.

After all, this method of boiling bone glue is the simplest and most primitive method with the lowest utilization rate.

As for other high-grade herbs, I have found some, but at most they are second-grade herbs, not many.

"Brother, there is a monster." Chen Zong's perception was even more acute.

Chen Zhong quickly followed Chen Zong's gaze. After a dozen breaths, three figures emerged from the grass. They had three strong bodies and gray bodies, but there was a cluster of red-headed wolves between their eyebrows.

A low-level monster.

The cold eyes of the three red-topped wolves were locked on Chen Zong and Chen Zhong, and they rushed towards them in a straight line, charging with brutal murderous intent.

"Seeking death!" Chen Zhong shouted violently and punched the red-topped wolf.

As if there was a roar of a tiger, Chen Zhong's fist condensed the phantom of a tiger's head, and struck out fiercely, like a tiger descending from a mountain. It was the first stage of Hu Gang Boxing.

The punch instantly collided with the sharp claws of a red-topped wolf. The terrifying force was devastating, directly defeating the red-topped wolf's claws and hitting the chest. With a bang, the red-topped wolf flew backwards, spitting out blood from its sharp mouth.

The other two red-topped wolves charged at Chen Zhong without fear of death, but they saw a dazzling sword light passing through the air. They didn't even have time to scream, and the two red-topped wolves fell directly, and their necks were almost chopped off.

It was broken off, leaving only a layer of skin still connected. This was done deliberately by Chen Zong.

In this way, the red-topped wolf can be killed instantly without blood splattering everywhere.

"Brother, your sword seems to be faster." Chen Zhong was very surprised.

Chen Zong just smiled.

Indeed, my sword is faster and I am more comfortable with the sword. This is the result of spending five days replacing the Fierce Tiger Technique with the True Sword Heavenly Jue Technique.

Zhenjian Tianjue Gong is a training method suitable for those who practice swordsmanship. Once you start practicing, it will increase Chen Zong's mastery of the sword to a subtle extent. As the level of training deepens, this mastery will gradually improve.

.

"Let's take the bodies of these three red-capped wolves back first." Chen Zhong said, grabbing the hind legs of a red-capped wolf with one hand and walking toward the small courtyard of the stronghold, while Chen Zong held a sword in one hand and grabbed it with the other.

The third red-capped wolf.

They harvested three red-capped wolves at once, and the two of them couldn't eat them all, so they took two of them to the center of the mine and handed them over to the clan members. They received an additional forty contribution points as a reward. The two of them each got twenty points, which was better than nothing.

.

At night, dark clouds covered the sky, even the bright moon was blocked.

Fulong Mountain was plunged into darkness, and the only light source nearby was the light from the mine house.

The night is deep, the mountain wind is icy cold, and the whining sound is like a ghost crying, which is chilling.

Although the line of sight was seriously disturbed, the Chen family's iron guards did not give up patrolling, but only narrowed the patrol scope, with three teams staggered.

Silently, a black shadow emerged from the thick grass, its body fell to the ground like the wind, its footsteps were brisk, and it approached the mine house silently and quickly like a bobcat.

The black shadow seemed to have been observing for a long time and mastered the timing and rhythm of the patrols of the Iron Guards. After staggering with the Iron Guards, he quickly arrived at the house without disturbing anyone. After a circle, he returned to the original road.

"Who?" A loud shout sounded like thunder, startling everyone.

Then the sound of breaking wind sounded, and one after another, the Chen family's iron guards and others appeared.

When the light shines on it, the black shadow that has not completely receded is nowhere to be seen.

"Who are you?"

"Why did you come to my Chen family mine?"

"What's the purpose?"

While shouting and asking, the Iron Guards cooperated to form an encirclement in an orderly manner.

"Hehehehe..." The laughter was like a night owl, very permeable. The black figure swayed, its speed surged, and it made a sound of breaking wind, and rushed to the side quickly.

"Leave it to me." An iron guard shouted sternly, unsheathed his long sword, brought out a cold sword light, tore through the night, and killed him mercilessly.

No matter who dares to sneak into this place, they are all enemies and will be killed.

But the figure of the black figure was weirdly twisted, as flexible as a snake, and it almost moved around the long knife. However, the long knife turned and cut horizontally, trying to cut off the black shadow.

The guards took action one after another, swinging their swords, punching or kicking, and killed them all.

The black shadow twisted its body strangely, not only avoiding the sword's killing blow, but also waving its hands continuously, making a strange hissing sound, like a poisonous snake coming out of its hole, colliding, and rushing towards the gap with the help of its strength.

"You're here, don't leave." An elder kept staring. Seeing the slippery figure of the black figure, he actually rushed out of the iron guard's encirclement. When he intended to escape, he snorted coldly and jumped up instantly, as if he was hovering.

The eagle in the sky keeps a close eye on its prey, and then pounces down instantly.

Every elder of the Chen family is a powerful warrior who has surpassed the Qi and Blood Realm. They are extremely fast. Even if the black shadow explodes with all its strength, it is difficult to escape.

He slapped it lightly with a palm, but it felt like a stormy sea. Everything around him was blocked and there was no way to dodge.

That palm hit the black shadow directly. The black shadow twisted his body with all his strength, and his muscles and bones began to shake, trying to resist the elder's palm as much as possible and remove the power.

With a bang, the black shadow rushed forward, like a rag sack. The absolute difference in strength left the black shadow without any resistance.

Flying more than ten meters away in an instant, the elder stepped forward and approached.

Suddenly, the black shadow that landed on the ground bounced. Not only was it not beaten to death, it actually ran away. While escaping, it swung its right hand back, and the green powder glowed with strange fluorescence in the night.

"Poison powder!" The elder's expression changed, and he waved his hand quickly. The wind of his palm swept away the poison powder, but there was still a trace of it floating over. The elder smelled it slightly, and his expression changed drastically. He felt that the poison powder was extremely poisonous.

It was so strong that even his level of cultivation was unbearable. After a slight pause, the black shadow took this opportunity to quickly move away.

He bypassed the poisonous powder area and gave chase, but in the end he failed to catch up. After the black shadow escaped into the grass, it seemed to disappear out of thin air.

"Check around." The elder ordered.

I don't know what the origin of this black shadow is. It sneaks in here secretly, goes around in a circle and then leaves secretly. If the elder hadn't been highly skilled and alert enough, he probably wouldn't have been able to find out the clues.

The Iron Guards quickly checked around and found nothing, so they couldn't figure out what the purpose of this black shadow was.

"This person is only at the level of Qi and Blood Realm, but he can actually resist my palm..." The elder frowned, feeling very strange, and there was an uneasiness in his heart, as if something bad was going to happen on a whim.

Something is about to happen.

But what exactly is bad is not clear.

After all, they didn't understand the purpose of the black shadow's arrival.

I checked the surroundings carefully and found nothing damaged or anything.

"Be on guard," the elder ordered.

"Yes." The Iron Guards responded in unison.

"Go and see those ten clan disciples and ask them to come here." The elder ordered again.

Immediately, the Iron Guards took action and went to five directions to inform the clan disciples.

The shadows tonight are very strange. It's hard to say whether something bad will happen, but it will always be safer if the ten clan members come here.

"Shaojie, as soon as it gets light, you will leave here with the ten clan members and return to the city." The elder said to Deacon Chen Shaojie.

"Okay." Chen Shaojie also realized that something was wrong.

The children of the family hall are all the future strength of the family, and it is best not to lose any of them.

It is late at night, and the night is dark and windy. It is not a good time to leave. After all, although the mine does not go deep into Fulong Mountain, it is not outside Fulong Mountain. Recently, monsters have appeared frequently, so it is easy to be attacked.

At night, the ability of monsters to move is often higher than that of warriors. This is even more detrimental to warriors.

"I hope everything goes well tonight," Chen Shaojie said secretly, inevitably feeling a little worried.

Not long after, all the ten disciples of the clan were awakened, fully armed and left the stronghold with the Iron Guard, and gathered at the central camp. They were still confused.

(It’s the end of the year, and things at home have begun to increase, so the time for typing has been reduced. I still have to prepare for a few days of depositing manuscripts during the Spring Festival. I am too busy, so I will change it to two guaranteed updates.)
