Chapter 318: The Bandit Cave (I)
The next day, Xiong Hao escorted Zhan Chen and the others to continue marching in the jungle. After about half a day, they finally reached their destination.
Walking through the bushes, Zhan Chen only felt that a vast area had been cleared out of the forest, which was three hundred zhang square, and there was a towering village in the middle of this flat land, that is, the Black Mountain Village.
It is said that it is a village, in fact, from the appearance, it is more like a castle, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters, there is a solid city wall built outside the cottage, up to nearly ten meters; there are several eye-catching buildings within the city wall, all of which are built of hard stone, one by one is dozens of meters above the ground, and it looks extraordinary.
There were also more than a dozen robbers walking back and forth on the wall to be on guard, and when they saw Xiong Hao coming back, they quickly opened the city gate and welcomed the four leaders and others in.
After entering the Black Wind Village, Zhan Chen immediately looked around and was surprised to find that this place had become a small town, not only with houses everywhere, but also with many women and children along the way. Obviously, a considerable number of these robbers have settled in this black village and married their own children. This greatly surprised Zhan Chen's expectations.
When several women saw that their men were back, they happily stepped forward, pulling them to chatter about their parents, but Xiong Hao shouted loudly before separating the pair of mandarin ducks.
Suddenly, a handsome woman in front of her stared at the team for a long time, and asked Xiong Hao, "Four leaders, where is my man?"
Xiong Hao was stunned for a moment, with a trace of guilt on his face, and said to her: "Xiao Ying! I'm sorry, Ah Chen, he had an accident and couldn't come back." ”
"What did you say?!" the woman was like a bolt from the blue.
Xiong Hao persuaded again: "Let's mourn and change, in our village, such a thing will happen, I will ask the big boss to give you a batch of yuan stones to compensate." ”
"No, I don't believe it! How did he die?" Xiao Ying looked very excited.
"He's- died under the attack of the monster, please forgive me, we failed to protect him. Xiong Hao began to lie, and his face was not red and his heart was not beating, obviously he was used to it. Of course, no one will jump out and expose him without long eyes.
The woman muttered, "Ah Chen, you just left like this, what should I do with the child?"
Xiong Hao was obviously fed up with this woman's entanglement, and said, "Xiao Ying, I'm going to see the big leader, so I'll leave first!" After that, he left the poor woman and walked straight towards the tallest and largest building in the village.
When he came to the gate, Zhan Chen looked up and saw three big characters written on the lintel on the first floor, "Black Mountain Hall".
Xiong Hao walked in with a swagger, and the guards at the door saw that the four leaders were coming, and they all nodded at him, Xiong Hao was nostrils to them, and he didn't even pay attention to them.
Crossing the avenue in the middle, they came to the council hall, and found that there were already many people seated there, and one of them sat domineeringly on the bench in the middle of the high platform, which was particularly eye-catching.
He was dressed in a tiger robe, sitting with a sword, nine feet tall, powerful in his martial arts; his face was slightly dark, his sword eyebrows were raised, and his eyebrows were extremely angry, obviously murderous; a pair of tiger eyes, his eyes were blazing, like a sword and a sword, and everyone did not bow their heads and did not dare to look at him; his long hair was gray, and he was dashing over his shoulders, showing the style of a king.
But Zhan Chen's gaze was attracted by the sharp blade in his hand, and he couldn't take a step away. This is a strange shape of the peerless sword, about four feet long, the hilt of the sword mixed with gold, the sword grid carved with a group of fierce hugs, the sword body is broad, above the spine of the sword, a bright red eye-catching blood groove is covered with the sword body, making people frightened. One side of the blade was as straight as an ordinary sword, while the other side was covered with serrated teeth, glowing with a cold light, like the sharp teeth in the mouth of the fierce shark, which made people shudder, and the whole sword, from top to bottom, exuded a cold, sharp, bloodthirsty aura, it was really an ominous sword!
"This is at least an eight-rank emperor weapon, and it is a metallic sword weapon!" Zhan Chen, who was accompanied by the famous sword day and night, saw the depth of this sword at a glance, and was so excited that his heart beat rapidly, his breathing accelerated, and he sighed in his heart: "It's a pity, such a good sword actually fell into the hands of a bandit, it's really a pearl secret cast, if I can get it, how good it would be!"
Xiong Hao, who has always been arrogant, saw the man in front of him, and had to show a deferential look, pushing the gold mountain and pouring the jade pillar, worshipping on the ground, and reciting: "Xiong Hao meets the big leader!"
The big leader lowered his head, glanced at Xiong Hao who was lying on the ground, and said, "Okay, Xiong Hao, get up quickly, you and I are brothers, don't be polite." ”
"Boss Xie!" Xiong Hao dared to stand up.
"Xiong Hao, why have you been there for so long this time?" As soon as the big leader asked, he saw that there were only nine people behind Xiong Hao, and there were three more unfamiliar faces, and he asked: "Strange, why are there only so many people behind you, where are Ah Chen, Li Yun and Chen Liqun?"
Xiong Hao's head was in cold sweat, and he quickly lowered his head and began to lie: "Big brother, we were attacked by demon beasts on the way, and they were all unfortunately killed. ”
"All killed, demon beast attack?" A trace of doubt flashed in the big leader's eyes, and he said, "Xiong Hao, I know your strength best, what demon beast can threaten you?"
"Well--we were on our way, and we were suddenly attacked by a whole group of seventh-order demon beasts, so-" Xiong Hao had no choice but to make it up.
"Hahaha, Fourth Leader, your luck is really good, why haven't I encountered a group of seventh-order demon beasts in this Black Forest?"
Everyone followed the sound and saw that the person who was laughing was a bewitching woman sitting on the side, she was wearing heavy makeup, her clothes were exposed, and her seductive skin and even some privacy were unscrupulously exposed, which was quite eye-catching.
But the people present didn't dare to think about her, Xiong Hao said even more respectfully: "Second leader, what I said is the truth, if you don't believe it, I can ask my subordinates, they can all testify!"
The group of cronies behind Xiong Hao hurriedly cooperated and shouted a few times: "Yes, yes, what the four leaders said is the truth!"
The second leader couldn't help but laugh, and sarcastically said at Xiong Hao: "Aren't your subordinates wearing the same pants as you?"
"Zhou Luo, just say a few words, Brother Xiong Hao has always been a man of duty, and he is also loyal to his eldest brother, how could he lie?" said a handsome man sitting next to her at this time.
This man is dressed as a scholar, at first glance he looks elegant and decent, but unfortunately it is exposed after a closer look, a pair of reddened eyes faintly revealing a fierce light, it is sure that it is a demon cultivator, and there is a looming evil smile on his face, obviously not a serious person.
"Lin Muren, I don't know what you are, you just carried me behind my back, and followed Xiong Hao to hook up with many beauties in private, do you think I don't understand?" Zhou Luo spat unceremoniously at Lin Muren's face.
Lin Muren wiped the saliva with his hands, not only was he annoyed, but he also smiled at her and said, "Zhou Luo, I like your spicy energy." ”
They flirted and scolded like this in the council hall, making the big leaders a little unbearable, and said: "The second leader, the fifth leader, when is it, you are still coaxing?"
As soon as the two of them heard the big leader's words, they quickly fell silent, not daring to say anything more.
"The big boss, the second leader, the fifth leader, and the four leaders here. Zhan Chen silently counted in his heart, "Then the remaining three leaders are him!" Then he looked at a man wearing an iron mask sitting on the other side, he didn't say a word the whole time, just sat there blankly.
It seemed to feel Zhan Chen's gaze, and the three leaders immediately looked back, at this moment, the eyes of the two met, and from the eyes of the three leaders, he felt a fierce momentum.
It seems that these 'five demons' have all cultivated extraordinary, even the worst five leaders have the level of Yin and Yang Venerables, and now my strength is low, and I can't compete with them, so it should be 'Zangfeng'. Zhan Chen thought silently, so he immediately looked away.
The big leader was obviously still angry about what had just happened, and said, "Everyone, we are about to go to the Ten Thousand Poisons Conference together, and there will be an incomparably great test waiting for us, so I don't want to see any disunity between you, otherwise, don't blame me for the shark hunting sword in my hand!"
For a while, all the people felt like they were in the stormy waves, their legs were weak, their shoulders were like pressing a big mountain, and they almost fell to their knees.
Zhan Chen's heart was also as calm as turning over the river and the sea: "Is this also the Martial Emperor? How can I have the illusion of facing a Martial Saint powerhouse?"
The big boss quickly restrained his coercion, and everyone felt relieved, only to hear him say again: "Do you remember my words clearly?"
"Remember!" shouted all those present in unison, as if they were afraid that the Grand Leader would not hear his answer.
"Very good!" The big leader looked at Zhan Chen and the others behind Xiong Hao and asked, "Xiong Hao, are these three people what you got this time?"
"Yes, Great Chief, they are the new brothers I have invited. Xiong Hao turned his head again and pointed at them and introduced them to the big leader one by one: "Big leader, his name is Jiang Heng, his name is Zhan Chen, and his name is Zhou Ziru." Then he ordered Zhan Chen and the others: "Why don't you three kowtow to the big boss quickly?"
At first, Zhou Ziru was reluctant to kneel down for the big leader, but fortunately, at a critical time, Zhan Chen pulled the corner of his clothes and motioned to him to make compromises for the time being. In this way, he reluctantly complied.
So the three of them knelt down in front of the bandit leader and said loudly, "Meet the big leader!"
"Okay, since you have joined our Black Mountain Village, you will be brothers from now on, you guys get up!" The big leader turned his head to Xiong Hao and said: "Xiong Hao, since you are looking for people, then I will return them to you, remember that the Ten Thousand Poisons Conference is about to be held, and we must gather as many people as possible before the conference, understand?"
"Got it!" Xiong Hao replied solemnly.
"Okay, you can bring people down and arrange it. ”
"Yes!" Xiong Hao turned his head to Zhan Chen and the other three and said, "Let's go!"
At this time, Zhan Chen's heart was extremely apprehensive and full of questions, he didn't know what kind of "hospitality" he would get in this bandit cave, and he was also full of questions about the so-called "Ten Thousand Poisons Conference" that the big boss repeatedly mentioned.
"Ten Thousand Poison Conference, Ten Thousand Poison Cave, what are these?" Zhan Chen faintly felt that a huge crisis was approaching them.
