The rugged mountain road and the ancient trees cover the eyes, and the two are combined, as if forming a labyrinth that is encircled, turning left and right, which makes people never get bored.

I don't know how many turns I turned, until I came to a stone pillar that looked like a sharp cone, and the five men in black suddenly disappeared.

Frowning and walking out of the darkness, Chu Zhen has been locking the breath of the five black-clothed people, but when he arrived here, it was suddenly gone, he was sure that there must be something similar to the secret passage in this place.

After rummaging around here for a long time, suddenly, a cool breeze blew on his face, which lifted Chu Zhen's spirits.

If you look in the direction of the breeze, you can see a stone wall obscured by a pile of bushes and dense branches.

Walking over and brushing aside the branches, all of a sudden, a feeling of coolness hit me, and a pitch-black cave appeared in front of me.

"It turned out to be here. ”

This cave entrance was completely blocked by bushes and branches, and it was difficult for people to find out, if it weren't for the five black-clothed people, Chu Zhen would have missed it.

Secretly on guard, Chu Zhen cautiously stepped into the cave.

This cave was about two hundred meters long, and after walking for a while, Chu Zhen saw the sunlight projected not far away.

was walking, when suddenly there was a pause in his foot, and Chu Zhen immediately stopped. At the entrance of the cave where he went out, he noticed that there was a hidden aura, and that person's strength should be in the fifth grade of Lingyuan.

There is still a relatively large gap in strength between the other party and himself, as long as he is careful, the other party will not be able to detect it. So, Chu Zhen was bold and carefully touched it.

When he came to the entrance of the cave, Chu Zhen stopped, and if he went further, he would be exposed. But here, it was enough, a small village sat at the foot of the hillside, and it was faintly visible that there were many people walking back and forth inside.

The lair of these black-clothed people had already been discovered, and Chu Zhen retreated back the way he came.

Thinking back to the words of those black-clothed people just now, since these people said that they wanted to control Lancheng, it also meant that they were about to attack the Lancheng Gun Pavilion and the Angry Knife Gate.

"Alas, Shen Tian'er, count yourself lucky!"

As the saying goes, "A true gentleman who is silent when watching chess, and a villain who doesn't save him when he sees death", Chu Zhen sighed and walked in the direction of Lancheng.

The sun was high and the scorching sun was scorching the ground, adding a touch of impetuousness to the already depressed city.

There is a porridge stall on the side of the street, several people are busy boiling porridge, and they are busy scooping the porridge that has been boiled into the empty bowl that is constantly being handed over, and among them, a blind girl who is blind in both eyes, although she can't see, seems to be busier than the others, she stares at the empty eyes, directing others to help the refugees who are gathering more and more; in front of the main gate of the Lancheng Gun Hall and the Nudaomen, there is a team of people and horses, they are armed with weapons, ready to go, and it seems that they are preparing to leave the city.

Chu Zhen came to the Lancheng Gun Hall and saw several carriages parked outside the door, and a bunch of people running in and out, a busy scene.

Just asked someone to call out Shen Tian'er, but suddenly, another figure appeared in front of Chu Zhen first.

"I said, if you stay in Lancheng any longer, I won't be kind to you. Now that you dare to take the initiative to find the gun hall, it seems that you are taking my words as a deaf ear. ”

Shen Yiping's gloomy and indifferent appearance made Chu Zhen feel unhappy in his heart, he was originally kind enough to come back to report the news, but as soon as they met, he was reprimanded, Chu Zhen secretly sighed that he was so troubled.

"Don't be angry, I'll leave Arashiki now. ”

After speaking, Chu Zhen didn't care about Shen Yiping's extremely ugly face, turned around and walked in the direction of the city gate.

After taking two steps, Chu Zhen stopped at his feet, turned his back to Shen Yiping and said, "The lair of that group of black-clothed people is on the mountainside of Wangyun Mountain, ten miles northwest of Lancheng, and found a pointed cone-shaped stone pillar, and the secret passage is on the stone wall next to it. ”

After finishing speaking, Chu Zhen didn't stop for a moment, and soon disappeared around the corner of the street.

"Chu Zhen. ”

When Shen Tian'er heard the report, she hurriedly ran outside the gate, but when she came here, Chu Zhen was gone.

"Dad, have you seen Chu Zhen?"

Shen Yiping looked at his baby daughter and said flatly: "He just came to resign, let me tell you all my life, and left." ”

Shen Tian'er's expression became a little gloomy when she heard this, she turned her head to look at the empty street, and tears were faintly shining in her eyes.

"Tian'er, although I have brought all the good players in the gun hall when I go out of the city this time, I still have to be more careful, you know?"

Shen Yiping didn't want Shen Tian'er to fall into this relationship, so he immediately changed the topic and changed her attention to going out of the city.

"I see, Dad. ”

Shen Tian'er answered absentmindedly, and walked into the door of the gun hall in disappointment.

Shen Yiping looked at Shen Tian'er's lonely back, and felt faintly distressed. But he didn't look down on Chu Zhen, and felt that Chu Zhen was not worthy of his daughter at all, so instead of waiting for Shen Tian'er to regret it in the future, it was better to break off this relationship. However, at this time, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, that is, he clearly remembered the last time he saw Chu Zhen, he was still the sixth grade of Lingyuan, but see you again today, he has reached the eighth grade of Lingyuan, such a promotion speed, he faintly felt that he might have done something wrong.

Under the moonlight, Chu Zhen sat in the mountains and forests with his eyes closed, vaguely exuding a powerful aura on his body.

Suddenly, there was a flash of fluorescence on his body, and a wave of heat suddenly spread out around him, blowing the branches and leaves to tremble.

With a long breath of turbidity, Chu Zhen opened his eyes with a smile. After taking two Mixed Yuan Pills again, the fireflies in his body were finally filled with fluorescence, and the energy of rebirth was restored again.

"It has to be a mixed Yuan Dan!"

Relying on the Transformation Spirit Pill, it took Chu Zhen a long time to make that ball full of fireflies, but it could be replaced with the Mixed Yuan Pill commonly used in the True Yuan Realm, and it only took a few days to reach it, it seemed that if he wanted to speed up his cultivation, he needed to use the pill that crossed the realm.

This method seems simple, but how can high-grade pills be so easy to obtain, Chu Zhen feels that this firefly is like a bottomless pit, and no matter how many pills are thrown in, it will not be enough.

Looking up at the night sky, it was midnight at this time, and there was still some time before dawn, Chu Zhen didn't want to waste time, so he planned to continue cultivating until dawn.

"Boom-"

But at this moment, there was a sudden fluctuation of Yuan Force in the air, and with it, there was an explosion echoing in the mountains and forests.

Standing up suddenly, Chu Zhen clearly felt that a big battle was breaking out in the mountains and forests at this moment, and the fierce crowd was rapidly approaching in the direction where he was.

Flying up to the tree, Chu Zhen covered his figure with the night and luxuriant foliage, and then turned his gaze to the direction where the explosion came from.

Several figures jumped out of the shadows one after another, rushing quickly through the dark mountains and forests.

"Hugh away. ”

Yuan Li was agitated, and a huge sword shadow broke through the night, and the petite figure running straight to the front flew away, drawing a deep knife mark on the mountain.

With a coquettish shout, the petite figure rose from the ground, and at the moment of death, he dodged the shadow of the knife.

Suddenly, the shadow of the knife slashed at a stout ancient tree, blasting the ancient tree into debris.

The remains of the ancient tree blocked the way, but the spear swung and swept a way out, and with it, the petite figure rushed into the moonlight.

The moonlight illuminated his face, and also illuminated his anxious expression, and Chu Zhen was surprised to find that the person being pursued was actually Shen Tian'er.

And several figures followed by Shen Tian'er also appeared one by one, and they were four black-clothed men holding long knives.

The strength of these four black-clothed people is not weak, one is the first grade of the True Yuan, the other is the ninth rank of the Spirit Yuan, and the other two also have the strength of the eighth rank of the Spirit Yuan, the four of them work together, and Shen Tian'er is not an opponent at all.

Suddenly, a sharp palm landed on Shen Tian'er's back shoulder, instantly knocking her to the ground.

"Hey, stinky girl, see where else you can escape. ”

Although the person who made the shot was only Lingyuan Jipin, at this time, Shen Tian'er's internal yuan power was not enough, and this palm caused her a lot of trauma.

"If you want to kill, come here, Miss Ben is not a vegetarian. ”

The four of them were surrounded, Shen Tian'er had no hope of escaping, she gritted her teeth, simply didn't run away, and fought them to the death, killing one counts as one.

"Hehe, you want to die, how can it be so easy. My eldest brother said, take you back alive, force your father to submit first, and then reward you to our brothers, enjoy it slowly, hehehe......"

Hearing this obscene and treacherous laughter, Shen Tian'er's heart sank, and she made up her mind that she would die and not let them catch her.

"Traitor, look at the gun. ”

The silver spear shook, and suddenly the two spear flowers went straight to the black-clothed man who was the leader of the real yuan.

As soon as Shen Tian'er moved, the four black-clothed men moved at the same time, instantly breaking the gunshot, and the ruthless knife move deliberately avoided the vital point, only attacking the limbs, and the intention of capturing alive was obvious.

In the previous fierce battle, Shen Tian'er had been injured in many places, and at this moment she was facing siege and killing from all sides, and she felt exhausted in a few moves, and her defeat was fully revealed.

Just when Shen Tian'er felt desperate, suddenly, a hot wind blew, which immediately dispelled the coldness of the night.

"No, be careful. ”

Before the black-clothed man at the head could speak, a scorching whirlwind full of murderous aura swept away the dense branches and weeds, and directly took the two weakest black-clothed men.

"This trick?"

Seeing the familiar moves, Shen Tian'er was overjoyed, swung a shot, and immediately retreated.

In an instant, the two black-clothed men of the eighth rank of Lingyuan were blasted away by the whirlwind, and Shen Tian'er also took advantage of this fleeting opportunity to rush out of the encirclement and rush in the direction where Chu Zhen was.

"I want to go!"

How could the black-clothed man of Zhenyuan Yipin let Shen Tian'er leave, and immediately shouted angrily and flew after him.

But at this moment, three fireflies suddenly floated in front of him like ghost fire, followed by an explosion.

"Hmph. ”

The man in black snorted coldly and waved his hand to push away all the flying sparks. But at this moment, a spear shadow followed the fireflies and flew coldly, and at the same time it arrived, there were three moths that flew back upside down.

The two moves came at the same time, and the man in black was forced to stop the pursuit and make a block.

I saw a bang, and the aftermath of Yuan Li was everywhere, and several ancient trees around him broke in an instant.

"Chase after you, you must not let this girl run. ”

Several people in black knew that if they let go of Shen Tian'er, they would definitely die when they went back, so needless to say, they all tried their best to chase after him.
