At dawn the next day, Zhan Chen and others set out on the journey again. In the following days, they spent every day fighting monsters. The monsters they encountered became stronger and stronger, and often three people were needed.
Only by uniting and doing their best can we defeat these opponents. In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, but the three of them have advanced less than a hundred miles into the black forest.
But no one is dissatisfied with this, because they can fight powerful opponents every day; they can eat high-level monster meat that is better than elixirs; and they can get precious parts of monster bodies. This is a huge sum.
of wealth.
Zhan Chen felt that he was growing and getting stronger every day. If he continued at this rate, he would be able to break through to the high level of the Martial Emperor in just a few years. If it weren't for the fact that he still couldn't figure out how to leave the Yuanchi
He would even regard this place as paradise.
These days, Zhan Chen also gained a lot of benefits from following Jiang Heng. Although this demon cultivator had impure motives and bad intentions, he still taught him a lot of knowledge about Yuan Chi. Through constant conversations with him,
Zhan Chen got to know many monsters unique to the Abyss Pond, and also became familiar with many elixirs unique to the Abyss Pond.
The reason why he is eager to understand these is because he has to plan for the long term. There are not many elixirs in his Qiankun bag, and they cannot be replenished in this closed environment, so he urgently needs to find new ones.
Combine and match.
However, as the saying goes: God has unpredictable circumstances, and people have misfortunes and misfortunes. From the moment Zhan Chen and others stepped into the black forest, it seemed destined that they would not be able to achieve their goals smoothly.
On this day, Jiang Heng was leading the way and suddenly stopped, his face changing. Zhan Chen, who was following behind, saw his appearance and asked: Brother Jiang, what's going on?
There seemed to be a situation earlier that Jiang Heng mentioned.
What's going on? A look of confusion flashed across Zhan Chen's face. Looking along his line of sight, he saw the shadows of trees moving in front of him, and then several people appeared. Just when Zhan Chen and others looked at them, they
I also found Zhan Chen and others and were about to come here.
There are many of them, let's retreat quickly and don't come into contact with them, Jiang Heng said hurriedly.
Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru also knew the dangers involved and immediately turned around to leave. Unfortunately, they were still a step too late when they heard the leader on the other side shouting at them: Who is in front of you, stop here?
Zuo Jiangheng said something and took the lead in escaping along the loop, followed closely by Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru.
Humph, you are trying to die, how dare you run away, watch me grab you. The leader across from you said this as he took off his footwork and chased the three of them. His speed was like wind and lightning, and he caught up in the blink of an eye.
It was Zhan Chen, the strong man of Emperor Wu's Great Perfection, whose pupils suddenly shrank, and he knew they couldn't escape today.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, someone stood in front of them. He was a middle-aged man with a beard, nine feet tall, muscular, and with a deep scar on his left eye. He was probably blind.
He covered it with a black eyepatch, leaving only his aggressive right eye, which shot out a frightening and ferocious light. At this moment, he was teasingly staring at Jiang Heng, who was rushing at the front.
The situation was so pressing that Jiang Heng had to stop, forced a smile from his face, and asked: Senior, why did you stop us?
The cheeky middle-aged man sneered: I told you to stop just now, didn't you hear it?
With all due respect, senior, when we meet in the jungle, we don’t know whether the person facing us is a good person or a bad person, so we naturally have to avoid it first.
Do you mean to say that we are bad guys?
this
Hahaha, you are right, we are still gangsters, now that I have bumped into you, you will be unlucky, and the three of you must go back with me.
Seeing the discord, Jiang Heng's eyes flashed with a stern look, and he called out to Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru behind him: "Let's do it together." After saying that, he wanted to take out the sword from the Qiankun bag, but suddenly he got angry.
However, before he could make a move, he felt his eyes blurred as a black sword was placed on his neck, so he had to put down his hand obediently.
Zhan Chen behind him was even more horrified when he saw this scene. This one-eyed dragon might be even more powerful than the Yin Yang Master he and Zhou Ziru had encountered before.
Haha, if you want to survive, don't move. With your three-legged cat skills, you can't even make a single move in the hands of me, Xiong Hao.
Cold sweat broke out on Jiang Heng's head, and he had to try his best to smile and said: Senior, if you have something to say, please put down the knife first.
However, Xiong Hao would not listen to him. He just smiled and held the knife against his neck. The sharp light on the blade had quietly cut the skin at Jiang Heng's throat, and a trace of blood came out.
, and Jiang Heng's head was dripping with sweat, and he didn't dare to move or tsk.
At this time, Zhan Chen noticed that there was a group of thirteen people surrounding him, eight of whom had the high-level Martial Emperor, and the remaining five people also had the intermediate-level Martial Emperor's cultivation.
However, he also keenly noticed that there were four of them, two high-level Martial Emperors, and two intermediate Martial Emperor warriors walking at the end. Their expressions were not right, they all looked dejected, and they seemed to have many scars on their bodies.
Seeing that they were in large numbers, Jiang Heng asked in a trembling voice: Senior, what do you want us to do? We have no grievances with you in the past, and we have no grudges recently, so please show your respect.
Xiong Hao smiled coldly, glanced at Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru, and said to Jiang Heng: It's absolutely impossible to let you go. Who said we were destined? I told you that you three have to go back with me.
Jiang Heng asked: Where to go?
Go to our Black Village
Well, we promise you, put the knife down first.
When Xiong Hao heard Jiang Heng's plea, he removed the knife from his neck and patted his face with a smile, saying: It's a good thing to feel at ease. At least once you get there, your lives will be safe.
It's better than staying in the woods and becoming a monster's meal.
Zhan Chen said nothing behind them, just watching all this with a sullen face. Now he can understand why Jiang Heng is so afraid of meeting outsiders. Most of the people who can survive here are fierce and stubborn.
Disciples. But today, they are unlucky and may encounter a group of bandits.
At this time, several people ran to Xiong Hao and said: "Four leaders, we have captured three more strong men. Do you think it's time to go back? We have already gone quite far. If we don't make it back on the agreed date,
Heishanzhai, I'm afraid the big boss will blame me again.
When the ferocious one-eyed dragon heard the words "big leader", a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he quickly said: "Okay, let's go back to the stronghold now." He turned around again, threatened Zhan Chen and the other three: "You three
Guys, don't try to play any tricks. If I find out that you have the intention to escape in the middle, I will kill you without hesitation.
Putting down these harsh words, Xiong Hao and his group turned around and walked towards the depths of the dense forest. Zhan Chen and others had no choice but to follow the gangsters. During this period, Zhan Chen, through observation, finally discovered what he had felt before
The four people who had differences seemed not to be of the same mind as Xiong Hao.
Like Zhan Chen and the other three, they walked at the end of the team, with a long distance between them and the people in front.
So Zhan Chen took the opportunity to get close to one of the people who looked the most kind-hearted and asked in a low voice: Brother, Zhan Chen, what do you call me?
The man had the high-level cultivation of Emperor Wu. When Zhan Chen came to ask, he did not reject it. Instead, he smiled and replied enthusiastically: My name is Chen Liqun.
Brother Chen, as you have seen, we have just been captured by Senior Xiong and don’t understand anything. We have a few questions that I would like to ask you. I hope you will give me your advice.
When Chen Liqun heard his question, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked around and saw that no one had noticed them. Then he showed an angry expression, lowered his voice and whispered: "Senior, they are just a group of people who kill without batting an eye."
Demons, we were also captured by them
Zhan Chen's heart skipped a beat: This is something serious, so he became bold and asked directly: Who are they in Heishan Village and why do they want to arrest us?
Their Black Mountain Village is a very powerful force in the area, with nearly a hundred people. Their leaders are called the Five Demons, and all of them are strong men from Emperor Wu's Great Perfection. The Xiong Hao in front of them is their fourth leader.
Martial arts ranks fourth.
This group of people usually hunts monsters and explores for treasures in the black forest, but once they meet weak people like us, they will start a conspiracy to kill people and steal goods while taking advantage of the situation. We are also lucky. Recently, this black village is expanding its strength.
That's why they spared our lives and recruited us to join the gang.
Isn't this just forcing a good girl into prostitution? Didn't you even think of running away?
I have thought about it, but unfortunately I dare not, because there is no successful precedent, and all those who are found are executed by them. They will break up the kidnapped people like us and compile them into their close associates, so that we can
He is monitored all the time, and then he follows them to do evil.
Of course, they will also give some small favors to those of us who are obedient to win over people's hearts. Those who do not obey their orders will be excluded and persecuted.
Zhan Chen listened silently to Chen Liqun's account, but his brows furrowed more and more. He would rather die than do those unscrupulous things if he was asked to obey the power of those people.
At this moment, Xiong Hao's vulgar and unhappy tone came from the front, interrupting their conversation: Why are the people behind you walking so slowly? Please hurry up, be careful, I will give you some color.
Look
After hearing his order, Zhan Chen and Chen Liqun had to speed up their pace to keep up with the people in front.
Before arriving at the Black Mountain Stronghold, I must find a way to escape from this group of people with Zhou Ziru. At this moment, a trace of determination flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes.
However, how to escape the surveillance of Xiong Hao and his men and escape smoothly? This is a huge test for Zhan Chen, because once the plan is exposed or the escape fails, death will be waiting for them.
