Chapter 390: Poison King
"Eight hundred in a day!" the boatman said coldly, but Zhang Xu did not relent, and became interested again, "Eight hundred in a day, is it eight hundred miles or eight hundred kilometers?"
"Naturally, it's eight hundred miles. The boatman flapped the oars, and the other boatman turned his arms quickly, and the oars flapped against the water like a flywheel, rowing a shock wave of water.
Zhang Xu looked at the speeding boat, thinking that these boatmen were not tired, although everyone took turns to replace them, but at this rotation speed, it is estimated that the oars are not rotten, and his hands can cramp.
But these boatmen were like robots, and they kept turning the oars, and the people standing on the shore looked at it and thought it was a yacht.
"After the hero arrives there, he must hold back the temper of the poison king, he is notoriously irritable, and the martial arts learned by the people there are also very strange.
It wouldn't be a good thing to go there, maybe people's lives would be lost there. A black-clothed assassin next to him said to Zhang Xu with concern.
Zhang Xu thought he had heard it wrong at first, but when his eyes noticed the black-clothed assassin, he realized that the black-clothed assassin was originally saying to himself that the hero he called just now was himself.
"Don't dare to be, if it's really as dangerous as you say, even if it's a tiger's den, then you have to break in. Zhang Xu replied in high spirits.
"Okay hero, the front is here, it's inconvenient for us to go over, so let's get off the boat here. The black-clad assassin said politely, instructing the boatman to make a quick U-turn.
Before Zhang Xu could figure out what this black assassin meant, the boat turned back directly, ready to go upstream.
Zhang Xu was forced to jump, got down lightly from the boat, and reached the shore with a few flying kicks.
"Good luck, hero. The black-clad assassin stood in the boat and shouted loudly, but the boatman stepped up his speed and quickly left the area.
Zhang Xu was confused, and he snorted lightly, and then turned his head and walked into the realm of the so-called Poison King, which was not as bad as he imagined, with trees and flowers spreading fragrance.
If it weren't for Nangong Qi saying that this was the territory of the Poison King, he would have thought that he had arrived at another peach blossom source, such a beautiful scenery, singing and dancing, of course it would be the best.
Zhang Xu raised his head and looked up into the distance, but he was surrounded by trees on his back, blocking his vision, so he had to trample resin to reach the top of a big tree, and then he saw that in the distance of the woods, there was a city.
The city is surrounded by walls made of this bamboo, like a cottage, at this moment, he suddenly felt that the air flow next to him had a feeling of acceleration, and Zhang Xu quickly jumped to another branch.
Only then did he realize that two short, sharp scorpion-shaped bayonets quickly stabbed into the branch where he was standing just now.
"Who?" Zhang Xu shouted loudly, but there was no trace of anyone, just two short, sharp shoe-shaped bayonets, which were still stuck vertically into the dense tree trunk.
Then a few flying knives flew over like bows and arrows, and Zhang Xu noticed the source, good guy, you actually played yin with me, see if I don't find you.
Zhang Xu sighed in his heart, stepping on the branches full of greenery, and in a few moments, he flew to the source of the sharp scorpion line holding the knife, which was the secret weapon that this person issued to himself.
Zhang Xu didn't have a good face, and directly stretched out his hand, grabbed the person's neck, and pushed it to the trunk of the tree.
At this time, he felt that there was still this murderous aura next to him, and he was approaching him, but this murderous aura was too weak, especially its speed was too slow, and Zhang Xu sensed it.
Another person, who was holding a sharp wind knife at this time, slashed at Zhang Xu's neck, and Zhang Xu directly grabbed this person's arm with his backhand and twisted it hard.
Before the assassin could react, the knife fell to the ground, and Zhang Xu used brute force to directly slam the two together, and the heads of the two people were dazzled by the bang, and they went straight to Venus.
"What is the origin of the two of you?" Zhang Xu said angrily, and it took a while for the two of them to react, feeling that they were not Zhang Xu's opponents, so they wanted to run away.
raised his thighs and went into the dense jungle, Zhang Xu naturally would not let go of these two people, thinking that these two people should be the subordinates of the Poison King.
was waiting for someone to give him a way, Zhang Xu also ran quickly, and soon caught up with two people, obviously the speed of these two people was far less than Zhang Xu.
Proficiency is also a beginner level, Zhang Xu wanted to catch the two of them easily, and the two of them had to succumb to Zhang Xu after being caught once.
Both of them were dressed in tiger skins, and they wore a crown of flowers and plants on their heads, hiding in the jungle, which was the most hidden, and around their waists was the bag they often had hidden weapons.
One of the assassins took out a hidden weapon from his waist and wanted to assassinate Zhang Xu directly, but Zhang Xu noticed the assassin's behavior, and Zhang Xu kicked and flew directly into the sky with the blade in the assassin's hand.
The assassin covered his hand, the pain was endless, and the palm of his hand immediately turned blue and purple, Zhang Xu still left some strength, otherwise, this one flew over, and he could directly kick the hand of this assassin and break the meridians.
The scissors flying in the air fell directly between the three people, Zhang Xu grabbed the two people with one hand, and took the flying knife with the other hand, facing the necks of the two people.
said fiercely, "I don't embarrass you, you show me the way, I have a letter of recommendation, I'm here to learn skills, I don't want to do things." ”
The two assassins obviously still didn't believe it, and twisted their heads to the side, Zhang Xu had no choice but to twist the two heads with his hands, and the other hand held the letter of introduction, waving it in front of them, "Look, I didn't lie to you." ”
The two black-clothed assassins paid attention to this letter of introduction, and saw that it was indeed the seal of the Poison King, so they calmed down, "Please come with me." One of the Assassins said politely.
Zhang Xu let go of his hand, and the two black-clothed assassins walked straight ahead, followed by Chen Jun, and soon arrived at a cottage, which was as lively as a bazaar.
The place you are going to is there, one of the assassins pointed out, Zhang Xu saw clearly, it was like an ancient palace building.
"What kind of place is that?" Zhang Xu calmly looked at one of the black-clothed assassins, and the black assassin told him, "This place is called the Thunder Palace, and it is filled with people who are specially trained to serve the Poison King, so you can go in." ”
After saying that, the two of them disappeared into the lively market, and the group couldn't take care of them, so the two of them walked straight to the front, and soon arrived at the door of this Beiting store.
There were several guards patrolling, Zhang Xu explained his intention to them, and showed a letter of recommendation, the guards took him directly into the clearing, and sent someone to inform the drug king.
Zhang Xu has always had a doubt in his heart, who is this poison king who is so mysterious, it is really like an ancient palace, it is so troublesome to enter, and he has to inform people.
There is no way, you can only abide by other people's rules when you enter another country, and soon, a guard directly led Zhang Xu into the lobby of the palace.
The lobby is resplendent with gold, and many stone lions and green dragon reliefs are carved on the stone pillars of the lobby.
There are also many veiled beauties next to them, squatting on the side, holding incense burners.
At the height of the lobby, there is a pure throne paved with this tiger skin, and the occupant of the seat is placed on it, a man wearing a black veil, the man bows his head and turns his back to Zhang Xu, which is very mysterious.
Zhang Xu noticed that there were many people next to him, and it seemed that they should all come to learn art.
"Come, all of you, drink this bowl of wine. The man in the black gauze spoke in a hoarse voice.
A few guards immediately brought a few jars of wine and served them to everyone in this large bowl.
Zhang Xu looked around, and there were about twenty people who came to study like him. Dressed in strange shapes, some people don't look like modern people at all.
For Zhang Xu, the strength of these people is just that of some nameless rats, and Zhang Xu's strength is equivalent to one in the sky and one on the ground for them.
The gods in the sky want to fight with ordinary mortals on the earth, and this is not just a matter of being caught, but it is such an immortal who came to this kind of place to learn and want to learn how to use poison.
Even if Zhang Xu spent ten times as hard as he could, how much could he learn? Even if he didn't learn anything, he wasted all his time on this, it would be like a sigh.
As for what Nangong Qi said at the beginning, Zhang Xu may hang up here, Zhang Xu still had some doubts in the face of everyone and the strength of the poison king, and there were bursts of indifferent smiles on his face.
Even if the poison king wants to fight with Zhang Xu now, he may not be able to win, in his place, he uses poison, and Zhang Xu is not afraid at all.
didn't think much about it, Zhang Xu picked up the bowl of wine and went down happily.
The poison king is also afraid of southern Xinjiang, I heard that a genius has been ushered in from the outside world, and he is a person from Miao Jiang, although Miao Jiang's resources have begun to decline now.
The future has slowed down, and the poison king has always wanted to annex and write Miao Jiang, but he is afraid of some strange people and strange things in southern Xinjiang, and he does not dare to act rashly.
Although the Poison King said that he planned to hand over these people, as long as the Poison King's mind was still clear, he would not give his true skills and some of the most essential medicinal materials that used poison to a group of people at a glance.
Just like a cat teaches a tiger, no matter how much he teaches, he will always leave a way for himself to live, and he will not let the tiger learn to climb the tree, so the poison king began to warn this group of apprentices.
"I'm sorry, I've always had my practice in the wine you just drugged, if you can't calm down and study.
I feel that I look down on the poison king, and the gate is directly behind you, and I won't be embarrassed. ”
Zhang Xu scolded in his heart, he fucking knows that he is playing this kind of trick, so what's the point of staying, besides, Nangong Qi also gave himself an elixir, just these poisons, it is not easy to solve them.
Okay, it's not a big problem to stay, but there are always one or two people among them who regret it directly, and when they are afraid, they open their legs and rush directly towards the gate.
But when he rushed out of the gate, his head and body were directly separated, and it turned out that at the gate, some elite guards had already been ambushed, and this poison king really dared to attack.
Zhang Xu didn't say much, just watched silently, there were some cultivators who came together, thinking that it was not easy for him to come here, trekking through mountains and rivers.
Whether it was Southern Xinjiang or the Poison King, there was not much threat to him, so he could stay here with confidence, but the group next to him was extremely afraid.
Because they have no power in their hands and no strength in their hands, they are even more afraid that the poison king will directly kill them all.
No wonder Nangong Qi was afraid at the beginning, Zhang Xu's life was threatened, that is, it was difficult to deal with the tricks of this poison king.
In any case, the Poison King finally asked Zhang Xu and his group to cultivate, not to exterminate the forces and kill them all.
Of course, these people are the elites of all parties, maybe after cultivating in the future, they can still serve some kings, and what the poison king has to do is to teach some simple uses to Zhang Xu and his group.
In the Seven Stars attic of the Thunder Palace, the Poison King sat on a chair and looked at the table where a sealed jar was being placed on the table, which contained some extracted liquid, as for where this liquid came from, the people on the spot did not know anything.
