The jet-black ponytail fluttered in the wind, the blazing eyes exuded a strong fighting spirit, and the corners of the mouth were raised with a kind of confidence and pride.

The girl in front of her was wearing a red power suit, with a red ribbon tied around her waist, and a silver gun in her hand, and her delicate body exuded a manly heroic spirit.

And behind this girl, there are also a dozen or so strong men who are also holding spears, all of them are sturdy, and they look like people who have been exercising their bodies all year round.

The strength of these people is stronger than Chu Zhen, and compared to them, Chu Zhen is too weak.

The girl had a small chest and scolded proudly: "I said you, are you deaf?"

Chu Zhen looked left and right, making sure that the girl was talking to him, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. He pointed at himself and asked, "Do you think that with my strength, I can kill these people?"

Although the corpses that fell to the ground were out of breath, judging from the remaining Yuan Force around them, the strength of these people should not be weak, and Chu Zhen alone was not an opponent at all.

"Young Sect Master, with the strength of his only Lingyuan Six Grades, he really can't do this. ”

At this time, the strong man standing next to the girl whispered a reminder in her ear.

The girl rolled her eyes, as if to say, "I know this." She snorted lightly twice, and then asked Chu Zhen, "Who is that, do you see who did it?"

Hearing this question, Chu Zhen couldn't help but take a deep breath. He really didn't want to waste time with this simple-minded woman, so he turned around and walked away.

"Hey, what are you doing, you haven't answered my question yet?" Seeing that Chu Zhen was leaving, the girl hurriedly asked loudly.

Chu Zhen stopped helplessly, turned his head to stare at the girl in red and said, "Please use your brain to think about it, if I see something, will I still be alive now?"

After speaking, he ignored the girl and her group, and Chu Zhen turned his head and left.

"Oh, yes. ”

But as soon as she finished speaking, the girl reacted instantly and shouted, "Hey, what do you mean, tell me clearly." ”

Faced with the girl's call, Chu Zhen ignored it, and was so angry that the girl raised her feet and wanted to catch up.

"Young master calm down, we still have important matters, there is no need to waste time on this kid. ”

The girl in red pursed her lips and glared at Chu Zhen's back, then snorted softly and left with the others.

almost encountered an unwarranted disaster, Chu Jian secretly scolded bad luck, but fortunately, the other party did not continue to entangle, otherwise he was afraid that he would waste a lot of time.

Walking along the official road to the afternoon, a slightly dilapidated town appeared not far away, and Chu Zhen walked over.

After walking in the mountains for more than half a month, it was also time to buy some supplies.

This town is not large, but there are hundreds of families, and the overall look is relatively decaying, and it seems that the lives of the people are not very rich.

There is only one Yuelai Inn on the street in the town. There are old lanterns hanging on each side of the door beams of this inn, and the plaque on the door has lost a lot of paint, and even the name of the store is almost unreadable.

Glancing at the old store, Chu Zhen walked in without thinking about it. He has never cared about the conditions of food and housing.

"What do you need, officer?"

Finally, the customer came, and the shopkeeper jumped in front of Chu Zhen in a few steps.

"Two side dishes, a few dry food, and a pot of wine. ”

"Okay. ”

The shopkeeper answered, and ran quickly to the back kitchen.

Sitting on a simple stool, Chu Zhen casually glanced at it. I saw that in the inn, in addition to him, there were three other people sitting at a table to eat, looking at their sighing appearances, as if they were in trouble.

"I said shopkeeper Li, do you really plan to go back like this?" one of them asked reluctantly.

The man who was called the shopkeeper Li sighed and replied, "What can I do if I don't go back, the caravans to Lancheng have been robbed one after another, and none of the caravans that have been killed have survived, even if they have hired a large number of masters with good strength. I ran this trip in vain, at most I lost half of my family property, at least my life is still there. Alas, it's important to save your life first!"

lost half of the family property, the loss was not small, and it could be seen that this shopkeeper Li was really forced to be helpless, so he turned back halfway.

"Shopkeeper Li directly compensated half of the family property, but I pressed all my net worth into it, and I couldn't afford to pay for this trip. I've heard that the road west from this town is a bit rougher, but it also gets to Arashijo. This road is usually only passed by some medicine farmers who go up the mountain to collect medicine, and they have never walked through the caravan, so I decided to take the risk and give it a try, and set off early tomorrow morning. ”

"Oh, shopkeeper, then you will call me tomorrow morning, and I will go with you, and we will take care of each other. ”

"Okay, shopkeeper Wang, you can have people load all the goods tonight. ”

The money shopkeeper nodded and agreed to the request of the king shopkeeper, in fact, he was also beating the drum in his heart, and someone took the initiative to accompany him, but he couldn't ask for it.

At this time, Shopkeeper Li's face suddenly changed, and he said: "Hey, the road to Lancheng has always been safe, and there has never been a bandit for many years. Who do you say, who are the people who have been robbing caravans around lately?"

The question of shopkeeper Li, the money shopkeeper and the shopkeeper Wang are also puzzled. They have been to Lancheng for an unknown number of times, and they have never had a moth, so how could they encounter such an unlucky thing this time.

"The stronger ones in Lancheng are the Lancheng Gun Pavilion and the Angry Knife Gate. After hearing about this incident, the two major sects accused each other of secretly committing murder, but neither of them could produce evidence, so they just shouted and shouted, but there was no result. Shopkeeper Wang said with a sigh.

The Lancheng Gun Pavilion and the Angry Knife Gate were their only hopes, but now, I am afraid that this hope is about to come to an end.

"Alas, it doesn't matter, it's better to take a gamble than to go back and let your wife and children starve to death with you. ”

After the money shopkeeper finished speaking, he drank the wine in the bowl in one go.

The mood of the money shopkeeper, the shopkeeper Li and the shopkeeper Wang are sympathetic, because the goods were too smooth in the past, they never considered the result of failure, which is also the reason why they are anxious.

Hearing the words of these three shopkeepers, Chu Jian suddenly thought of today's encounter, and at this time he realized that it turned out that what he bumped into was a caravan that had been killed, and according to what the shopkeeper Wang said, those people with spears and good strength should be people from Lancheng Gun Hall, one of the two major sects in Lancheng.

"This guest officer, your wine and food are here. The local resources are poor, they are all some private wine and food, and the hospitality is not good, please forgive me. ”

The shopkeeper smiled lightly and put two plates of side dishes, a plate of steamed buns and a pot of wine on Chu Chen's table.

"It's okay, just eat and drink enough. I beg you to fill my wine gourd and prepare a room for me. ”

"Well, you can use it slowly. ”

After taking the wine gourd, the shopkeeper ran back to get wine.

Quickly cleaned up the wine and food on the table, and Chu Zhen took his things and came to his room.

This room is very simple, with only a bed covered with an old quilt and a set of tables and chairs that creak when you move.

Not caring about these external conditions, Chu Zhen sat cross-legged on the bed, then took out a few spirit pills and threw them into his mouth, and began to cultivate quietly.

The Mixed Yuan Pill is too expensive, and it is a bit wasteful to use it now, so Chu Zhen will use the Mixed Yuan Pill first, and then use the Mixed Yuan Pill when the realm rises by one liter.

Fortunately, Xuanyue Pavilion belongs to Chu Zhen, and the effect of the elixir is small, but it is better than the large amount, after such a long period of cultivation, the fireflies in the body are getting closer and closer to Manying.

Time flies, and before you know it, it's dawn.

Although the sky was not yet fully bright, the sound of loading and unloading goods could already be heard in the inn. For the sake of safety, the three caravans left the inn when the sky was just white. One of them went east, and the other two went west, where Arashiki was.

Returning to Qi Nayuan, the night's cultivation was finally over, and Chu Zhen also opened his eyes.

When you open the door, the sun is rising outside, and the sun is warm, which is the freshest time in the morning.

The courtyard of the inn was empty, the carriage that had stopped here yesterday was long gone, and the whole inn seemed empty and lifeless.

Chu Zhen listened to the movements of the three caravans, but he didn't need to care.

After asking for some dry food and water, Chu Zhen also walked out of the inn and headed east, continuing his journey of becoming stronger.

But as soon as he walked out of the town, a trace of the smell of blood wafted into Chu Zhen's nose.

"Hmm? No. ”

The source of the smell of blood was not far away, and Chu Jian jumped a few steps into the woods next to the official road, but was shocked to see that Shopkeeper Li and his party were all corpses here, and they had long since lost their breath.

After a closer look, there was only one fatal wound on everyone's body, and it was obvious that it was not ordinary people who killed them.

At this time, Chu Zhen's eyes were suddenly attracted by the open cargo box.

The crates were opened, and the contents were thrown all over the floor, but they didn't seem to be missing.

"Robbing caravans, the goods are only turned over, it seems that they are looking for something. ”

The death of Shopkeeper Li and the others was strange, and the motive of the perpetrator was even more mysterious, and Chu Zhen seemed to smell a trace of simplicity.

"Two other caravans. ”

Thinking of the two caravans heading west to Lancheng, Chu Zhen immediately changed his route to the west and quickly chased after them.

Shopkeeper Li and others were brutally murdered, which shows that this area is also targeted, and the money shopkeeper and the Wang shopkeeper are probably more auspicious.

Chu Zhen didn't want to meddle in this matter, but he always felt that things were not so simple, there must be some conspiracy hidden behind this, and he wanted to find out.

Running west along the official road for about five miles out of the town, Chu Zhen smelled an even stronger smell of blood.

"There. ”

Seeing the truck from a distance, Chu Zhen immediately ran over.

Corpses littered the floor, boxes were dumped, and goods fell haphazardly in pools of blood, adding to the desolation.

The two gangs of the money shopkeeper and the king shopkeeper were all killed without accident, and their cargo boxes were also opened, showing signs of being turned over.

Walking among the corpses, Chu Chen's heart was full of doubts.

The same method, the same style, what exactly are the people who slaughter the caravan going to do?

Suddenly, the sound of chaotic footsteps interrupted Chu Chen's thoughts, and the two groups appeared in front of Chu Chen almost at the same time.

"It's you. ”

Seeing the familiar figure, there was an exclamation from the crowd.
