The land of Sui City is quite desolate, the land is extremely barren, except for the scattered pine trees on the bare peaks of the overlapping mountains, a thick yellow sand river like a giant python is the only feature, it flows through, dry loess.

"Although this Sui city is under the jurisdiction of Jiangling County, it is quite remote, and such a desolate area is not much worse than other cities. ”

"The few cities you have been to before have a warm climate and pleasant scenery, but you must know that most of the entire Zhu Tianye area is a harsh environment, and there are many places that are even worse than Sui City. Jiuye is the foil of the central Sanyuan area, how many urban areas like Jiangcheng are like small jasper homes?"

"I only know that Zhu Tianye has a vast area, and too many places are inhabited, so the major cities are almost far away from each other. It's been five days since this trip, and the city tower in front of it should be the building of Sui City, right?"

"It should be, but we don't go into the city, we only go to the town of Poplar outside the city, where there is a good chance of finding the master. ”

"I've always heard you say that he is a master, and it seems that the information received is very accurate, do you know him?"

"Of course, the entire Zhu Tianye people know each other. He is the disciple of the gunman Yuan Zhiwei, the famous gun Zhu Ran. ”

Jiang Ming and Kwai Ji and his entourage found a simple place to live in Huyang Town, Kwai Ji arranged them one by one, and the four guards listened to the explanation and left, but Jiang Ming, who had nothing to do, was full of doubts.

"Isn't our goal Zhu Ran? Why do we want to stay here and not ask for a few more rooms?"

Aoi Ji rolled her eyes and said angrily, "How can it be so easy to find a target, I just received the news here, but I am not sure that he is still here." And Fang Weizhe's people should also come, if we are not careful, the situation will definitely be extremely unfavorable for us. ”

"Then when are we going to go looking for that man? If it's too late, it's not good to be taken first. Jiang Ming was a little worried.

"Don't be in a hurry", Kwai Ji chuckled, as if a little ridiculous: "Do you know the seventh act of the largest information organization in the Nine Fields? Its news covers the Nine Fields Domains, except for a very small number of barren places that cannot be set foot in, and the temples of other sects and the restaurants of the scholar clan are almost inevitably planted by them. Although there are many forces that hate their existence and are indeed resisting their development, it is inevitable to negotiate with Act VII in the bargaining of interests, which is the greatest prosperity of the information organization, and it is also the greatest energy that Act VII has influenced the Kuno region. The news I received this time came from Act Seven, there is a branch of Act Seventh in Huyang Town, and the steward there is familiar with me, although the source and authenticity are very sure, but I don't believe that he will not sell the news of Zhu Ran's presence to others. ”

Jiang Ming pondered, and suddenly asked, "Why did Zhu Ran come here, and what basis do we have for him to help us?"

"As far as I know, Zhu Ran is now at the peak of the eighth rank, and he is only one step away from the realm of the Bound Spirit. A few days ago, while he was practicing martial arts, he was injured by a snake man who was about to become a flower, and he was exiled here. If we can help him avoid the snake man's pursuit, he will definitely be able to help me in half a year, and with his name as a spearman, I will undoubtedly have a great initiative. ”

"The Demon of Kunhua?" Jiang Ming had also seen a demon beast of this level, in the Ageless Peak outside Yeyang City, in the vast whale falling mountain range, he used Yu Ruyi to kill two lizardmen desperately, this kind of luck is also a bad cold. He thought, it seems that this luck is a little unbelievable, even if it is a desperate battle for him, even if it is a sneak attack, how can he attack and kill two ninth-rank peak martial arts masters with his ability?

"Seems like I was able to kill the lizardman, and there's a deeper reason. Jiang Ming fell into deep thought.

Aoi said, "We are waiting here now, and when they finish inquiring about the news and grasp the terrain, we will have some certainty." Otherwise, if we really want to resist the demon of the Confucianism, then it is truly self-defeating. ”

Jiang Ming nodded yes, and then said nothing, after half an hour of recuperation, the four of them came back one after another, and all they reported were some ordinary news.

Jiang Ming couldn't help but admire: "Kwai Ji is resourceful and resourceful, and can recruit these four seventh-stage martial artists, whose talent is far better than that of many generals and strategists who have fought in battle, what a generation of strange women!"

Kwai Ji seemed to notice Jiang Ming's gaze, chuckled and hooked up with his shoulder, a pair of charming and beautiful eyes stared at him, and said, "Do you think Miss Ben is extraordinarily charming and want to fall under my skirt?" Jiang Ming smiled bitterly and shook off Kwai Ming's snow-white arms, and hurriedly stepped aside, indicating that he kept his distance.

Aoi laughed even more.

Outside the town of Populus euphratica there is a large area of poplars, which have no lush foliage, but only a staggered staggered dry trunk, but almost completely enclose the whole town.

There was a road in the forest, and the road was dark, and a huge poplar tree had been hollowed out of its trunk, and a man covered in blood was sitting in it, and the air flow around him began to surge slowly.

"This femme fatale is so poisonous that it almost shatters my five internal organs, if the master and brother are still here, how can I suffer such humiliation?"

"Cang Fukai, right? Your reputation is too great, but it doesn't affect me to regard you as my goal, I Zhu Ran will definitely spend my life killing you to avenge my senior brother. ”

"Fortunately, with the protection of the Divine Artifact Desolate Origin Ding Fragment, I can also recover from my injuries in a short period of time, and even have great confidence in entering the ninth rank. ”

The crows cried, and the poplar forest fell into a deep silence.

When Jiang Ming and Kwai Ji were dining in a restaurant, between the wine glasses of talking and laughing, dozens of flying knives flew towards the vital points of the two people's bodies, Jiang Ming threw away the wine glass, pulled Kwai Ji into his arms, and jumped to the side to dodge. Aoi's four guards also quickly flashed out, their swords already in their hands, and they looked at the comer vigilantly.

There were more than a dozen people approaching, the first two of them were quite handsome men in brocade clothes, one of them looked at the shopkeeper and Xiao Er who were shivering behind the counter, and threw a bag of silver taels, the two were frightened by this, and hurriedly ran out with the money. But I saw the man in brocade raise his head and laugh, and said, "Mr. Jiang Ming, do you still recognize me Jinshui Sect Jinji?"

Before Jiang Ming could speak, Kwai Ji waved his hand to block his answer, stepped forward, and said, "He forgot, but I remember that people in their twenties still bear the name of Jinshui Sect all the time, could it be that you can't even remember your own name?

"You ......" Jin Ji knew that Kwai Ji was disdainful and polite to the established enemy, so he changed his normal provocation and drew a clear position between the two sides at the same time, but Huangshi Town was his humiliating trip, and now that he talks about the old things, he can't help but be annoyed and angry: "Kwai Ji, you have to know your current situation, when Fang Weizhe becomes the heir of the sect master, you will lose all your power, and then any of my subordinates can treat you as a plaything, if you meet each other and follow me earlier, I will ......"

"What? Do you want to fight me again? Aoi is my friend, if you still want to save your life, get out of here early. Jiang Ming suddenly interjected, drank domineeringly, and his words were completely rude. Kwai Ji on the side breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "Even if you have a conscience, you are willing to find a place for me." ”

Jin Zang's lips moved when he saw the intimate actions of the two, but he didn't dare to refute it after all, in front of this martial arts genius who gave him a psychological shadow, he couldn't raise his confidence as an elder disciple of the Jinshui Sect at all.

"He even dared to kill the people of Tiangangmen......" he comforted himself.

When Jin Zang was annoyed, the tall man beside him stood up, pushed Jin Zang behind him with one hand, and said coldly to Jiang Ming: "Eight-stage person, you don't seem to be as strong as I imagined!"

When Kwai Ji saw this person, her face turned pale, if she was afraid of Jin Ji, she was really afraid of him.

Bloody Hand Shura, Sun Huan.

The two fists collided, the huge strength collided, the pure power collided, and the battle between the two eighth-rank martial arts masters stopped at a touch, and the two retreated to their respective camps, each silent without words.

The competition between the two parties came to an end in this temptation, Jiang Ming and his party of six left, Sun Huan also led people to retreat, the fists of the two were secretly trembling in their sleeves, only the two of them knew what the result of the temptation was.

Walking out of the restaurant for hundreds of meters, Kwai Ji nervously grabbed Jiang Ming's elbow and asked softly worriedly: "Are you okay?" I was frightened, I thought that Sun Ju was already the pinnacle of the eighth rank, but I didn't know that you were hiding so ......" Kwai Hi paused, watching Jiang Ming slowly take the blood-stained fist out of her sleeve, she realized how much force was used by both sides of that punch.

Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, got out of his indifference and nervousness, and said, "Fortunately, it is worthy of the peak of the eighth stage, it should be that I have suffered a little, but he should not be so comfortable." ”

"I thought you could compete with him, but it turned out that you were pretending. I actually regret coming to this Sui City, if we don't have a certain strength, we will lose in front of Sun Huan, and even in front of the murderous Shura, survival is a problem. Kwai Ji's expression was a little bitter, obviously underestimating Sun Huan's true strength.

Jiang Ming tore off a strip of cloth from the side of his clothes, wrapped his numb fist, and said casually: "It's nothing, at least you won't lose too badly, take a step back, even if you can't fight, you have a chance to leave." “

"Maybe so!"

On the other side, Sun Huan led everyone with shocked faces, staring blankly at Sun Huan's somewhat fractured and deformed fists, and their hearts were full of chills. Jin Ji was incredulous and wondered, "Senior Brother Sun, is Jiang Ming really so powerful?"

Sun Huan said: "It's very powerful, no wonder he can fight four seventh-rank martial artists by himself, if nothing else, his strength has already surpassed the power of the eight leads, and it is estimated that he is not far from the realm of the soul." ”

On this day, after a short exchange between the two parties, they went deep into the poplar forest to find the rumored famous gun Zhu Ran, if the news of the seventh act is correct, at this time Zhu Ran and the snake man should be in the forest, and a chase game is being launched.

The poplar forest is very large, many times larger than this town, and people enter it like a stone falling into a deep well, and the outside world cannot hear the slightest sound.

"Viper!" Kwai Ji shouted, pulled out a pack of white powder from his waist and swayed it into the air, more than a dozen poisonous snakes hurriedly avoided it, Jiang Ming took advantage of the captain's halberd to wave and kill the poisonous snakes that came to hiss and stick out their tongues, so as to avoid the possibility of being in danger before they succeeded.

"What kind of powder is this? It seems that it's not just realgar, there's something else. Jiang Ming faintly recalled the scene when he was rescued in Hou Fengwang's mansion, and the sky was also full of white fog, which was quite similar to this scene.

Kwai said with a smile: "There is also a powder of Canglian rain stone, which itself also has the effect of the snake, but it is too precious, in the countries north of Zhu Tianye, only the Shuangzhi City under the jurisdiction of the second son of the Marquis Feng Wang of the Nine Prefectures Alliance has this vein, although it is not as good as the general medium-grade metal, but its attribute and usefulness are also very famous among mortal things." ”

Jiang Ming listened to it one by one, and remembered that Lin Han mentioned the three people who rescued him from Yeyang City, and thought secretly: Ganyong Village may want to take advantage of the fire to rob, according to their ability, they generally can't get this Canglian rain stone powder, Lin Han didn't mention it, and it is estimated that he is unlikely to have it. There is also Fan Ye's predecessor, who is a powerhouse in the status realm, since he can save me in public, how can he use this powder to cover up? Could it be that there were other people who made the shot? This bold speculation also made him begin to be confused, a thing that had already become a thing of the past, actually hid a huge suspicion, the martial arts rivers and lakes are like a bottomless sea, murder is not necessarily hostile, and helping each other is not a complete show of goodwill.

"Looks like I don't have enough brains!"

Kui Xi naturally didn't know what Jiang Ming was thinking, so she said: "These poisonous snakes move very regularly, they don't seem to be simply gathering to resist humans, but more like they are being manipulated by some kind of mechanical obstacles. ”

A few people were puzzled, but they no longer hesitated, relying on the characteristics of the Canglian rain stone and realgar powder, the surrounding poisonous snakes were surrounded and did not dare to enter lightly, hissing and spitting letters, making a numbing sound on the scalp.

The deeper Jiang Ming and the six of them went, the more poisonous snakes gathered, at first they were all more than ten meters away from a few people, but with the decrease of white powder and the increase in the number of poisonous snakes, the poisonous snakes were already moving five meters outside of them.

"This won't work, the powder will soon run out, and in the face of so many poisonous snakes, your martial arts will not be able to exert their power at all, and if this continues, we will be trapped to death sooner or later. Aoi bit the tip of her tongue, trying to sober herself up in the rare scene where ten thousand snakes gathered, although she has seen too many killings, but after all, she has a natural fear of this ugly long worm.

"I have a solution. Jiang Ming took out an inky black hexagonal crystal from his arms, waved his hand at Kwai Ji and the others, and said with a smile: "If there is something that can attract these poisonous snakes and gather them in one place, we will quickly greatly reduce the threat." ”

"Moyu Jingang, you even have this kind of precious secret weapon, you are really not an ordinary hillbilly in Huangshi Town back then. Aoi chuckled, surprise better than ridicule.

"It's just a robbery, where can I get it? But this is the last one. Jiang Ming said.

"As long as you are willing, when I become the heir of the sect master of the Yan Sect, I will give you ten or eight pieces, won't I make a lot of money?"

"Don't be, it's still useful to help you in the future, these are just small things. But then again, I don't deny that you're a very scheming woman, but why are you so fervently chasing power?"

Kwai Ji was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "With power, I'm actually very superficial." ”

Jiang Ming gave her a blank look, expressing complete disbelief.

Aoi Zheng said: "Hurry up and clean up these poisonous snakes! I have the double fruit that snakes like very much, and one is enough to make these ten thousand snakes crazy." ”

Took out a vermilion fruit the size of a half-palm from the small wooden box, and the strange fragrance of the fruit suddenly filled the surrounding air, and some poisonous snakes instantly became fanatical, and they were extremely restless.

"Quick, rush out and try to spread the flavor of the fruit while avoiding the poisonous snake!"

Under the order of Kwai Xi, a guard held a knife in one hand and a double fruit in the other, and quickly ran out of the white powder circle, and in an instant countless poisonous snakes slid their bodies to chase, fortunately, this person is a genuine seven-stage martial artist, and his body martial arts and consciousness reactions are far beyond ordinary people.

"Throw away the fruit and get out of here!"

With a greeting from Aoi, the guard hurriedly dropped the fruit and turned out of the Siege of Ten Thousand Snakes. But those poisonous snakes all rushed towards the Shuangluo fruit, and in just a few minutes, they set up an altar of ten thousand snakes about a room high for a person, and several other guards took this opportunity to sprinkle a thick layer of Canglian rain stone and realgar powder around the poisonous snake circle, and after trapping almost all the poisonous snakes, the remaining fish that slipped through the net were naturally not in danger. With a huge explosion, the black jade gold steel exploded in the center of the Ten Thousand Snakes Altar, and immediately the flesh and blood flew sideways, the medium-grade metal, and the power was terrifying. The six broke through and walked deeper into the poplar forest.

At the same time, on the other side of the poplar forest, Sun Huan and Jin Ji more than a dozen people also encountered a large number of poisonous snakes, but they were more ruthless, directly led thousands of snakes to one place, and then ignited the dry poplar wood, under the wind, the huge flames quickly devoured the thousands of crawling creatures, and at the same time, the fire did not stop, sweeping the entire poplar forest.
