In the northernmost part of Xishi, there is a large area of uncivilized dense mountain forest, smoky all year round, countless birds and beasts, hiding all kinds of dangers, and the central area of this mountain forest is called "forbidden land" by the local villagers, because anyone who steps into the "forbidden land" will never return, even if a few people who are lucky enough to come out alive, they will become mentally disturbed, and they can't remember what happened in it.

There are all kinds of legends about the "forbidden land", such as: "forbidden land" is buried in a king who died during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the king's resentment spreads within a radius of 100 miles, once people and animals set foot on it, they are taken away from their vitality, buried in the ground, and then become nourishment, which makes the king's resentment more and more aggravated, so that thousands of years have passed and it has not dispersed; It is the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, an evil feng shui master before his death laid the evil array, specializing in human and animal flesh and blood as nourishment, giving birth to the reinforcement of the formation, hundreds of thousands of years, under the nourishment of countless human and animal flesh and blood, the evil array not only did not fail, but spread to a wider area;

Legends such as the above cannot be verified, and people in the age of science and technology cannot be trusted, but one thing is undeniable, that is, the central area of this mountain forest hides an unknown and great danger!

This time, in order to use this mountain forest as a competitive arena, the Provincial Medicinal Materials Association has been approved for more than half a year, and the four participating representatives sent by all parties must sign a life and death agreement in advance, that is, the organizer does not provide life safety guarantees, and it is a destiny to live or die.

At more than ten o'clock, five Iveco cars carrying Huayuan people stopped in the open space of the designated assembly point, in addition to two-thirds of the field security guards of the security department, there are four staff members of the business department, as well as five middle and senior executives of the company, including President Qiu Ruoyu, Vice President Xu Dechang, and Deputy Director of the Business Department Wu Kexin, which shows the high degree of attention.

In the next five days, Ye Ning and other four people will represent Huayuan to participate in the bidding competition, and the rest of the people will live in nearby villages according to the organizer's arrangement, and all costs and security measures are taken care of by the organizer.

When Huayuan people arrived, there were many people gathered in the open space, a small half of them were the personnel of the organizers, most of them were members of various businesses, the start time of the competition was set at twelve o'clock at noon, there was still more than an hour from this time, the atmosphere seemed relatively loose, three or three or five together to chat, and even four people sat down to play poker.

After Ye Ning got out of the car, he hid under a big locust tree with Liu Qing and five other smokers.

"Brother Ye, it was too boring to act alone that night, and I wouldn't be called to clean up those guys, even if I was notified in advance to be an audience. Liu Qing complained while spitting cigarettes, with indescribable regret on his face, this guy is a trouble-causing character, after hearing about Ye Ning's "great achievements" afterwards, not to mention that there are many itchy hands.

"Liu Qing, there will be opportunities in the next few days, we and the Cai family's Liangzi are settled, if you meet in the competition, don't be soft. Wang Chao said from the side.

Sun Hao smiled and said, "Let's settle down, Brother Ye, Sister Fang has seriously warned all of us that we are not allowed to follow your example." ”

Ye Ning replied sullenly: "Captain Fang is right, this kind of limelight is not good, and the reason why I am working alone is because I don't want to affect everyone." ”

Liu Qing cut off unconvinced, and was about to make a big statement, when suddenly his eyes turned and looked at the two people who were walking towards him.

Ye Ning also followed him, and when he saw the faces of the two people clearly, his eyes narrowed, one of them was Cai Wuyao, who was extremely unfriendly to him at the auction that night, and the other was the same age as Cai Wuyao, and he became a great achiever the day after tomorrow.

"Ye Ning, I haven't seen you for a while, I heard that you and Sister Ouyang are developing well. As the two approached, they also stopped talking and laughing, Cai Wuyao patted Ye Ning's shoulder like an old adult friend, and asked casually, without showing the slightest hostility.

People behave politely, Ye Ning will not spoil the scenery, even if people's politeness is pretended, he replied while handing over the cigarette case: "You are hearsay, what is Ouyang's identity, I still have self-knowledge." ”

Cai Wuyao took a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it, and raised his head to puff out a puff of smoke: "You can't say this sincerely, if you have self-knowledge, you can make such a big noise the night before yesterday, before the bidding competition started, Fengmao Group lost one innate period, six acquired periods, my Cai family has never been bullied like this, you are now famous, everyone has to give three points when they see it." ”

There is no emphasis on the tone, it seems to be an understatement, but the smell of gunpowder in the words is faintly revealed.

Liu Qing and the others all lowered their faces slightly, and looked at Cai Wuyao with unkind eyes, the latter seemed to feel that he was unpopular, he smiled, and said to himself: "I don't know where the confidence comes from, Huayuan has just entered the provincial ranks for less than three months, and with one or two innate early stages, he thought that he could run rampant, and he was really afraid." As he spoke, his gaze swept over the faces of Liu Qing and the others, with a hurtful contempt in his eyes.

A flash of anger flashed on Liu Qing's face: "Get out!" Although through induction, he got that the other party was a congenital small and strong person, but this did not make him feel much jealousy.

Cai Wuyao squinted at him and said casually: "What, do you want to compare here?"

"Cai Shao, you are a person with status, don't be so boring. Ye Ning saw that the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger, and immediately took a step sideways, blocking Liu Qing, who was ready to go, and said lightly.

Due to this occasion, Cai Wuyao was not really ready to do it, otherwise he would definitely attract the organizer to come forward, he waved his hand: "Okay, I'll give you face, but the advice I gave you that night, did you not convey it to Qiu Ruoyu, or did you not convey it at all?"

"What advice?" Ye Ning frowned, unable to remember for a while.

"Now that the bidding competition has not started, it is still too late for you Huayuan to take the initiative to withdraw, if you are obsessed, you will bear the consequences. The young man beside Cai Wuyao said with a sneer, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said threatening words.

"Oh yes, I forgot to introduce you, this is the eldest young master of the gold merchant, and also the eldest brother of the gold merchant, Jin Long. Cai Wuyao smiled slightly and introduced Ye Ning in a timely manner.
