Chapter 20: The Black Forest
The Black Forest, originally not called the Black Forest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć There is a reason why info came to be called the Black Forest. At this time about thirty years ago, the fruit of the man-eating tree in the Black Forest was produced in large quantities, which made all the families in Lingyang City extremely red, which was an immeasurable wealth.
At that time, the Qi family, as the largest family in Lingyang City that year, was super strong. In that battle for the fruit of the man-eating tree, the Qi family slaughtered all sides and grabbed a large number of man-eating tree fruits. At that time, Qi Zhennan and Lin Jingtian were in their early twenties, and the Lin family was the number one enemy of the Qi family, so the two also participated in that battle, and it was at that time that Lin Jingtian was seriously injured by the patriarch of the previous generation of the Qi family and almost died.
In that battle, the Black Forest was covered with blood and corpses, so much so that the land inside was stained black with thick blood, and since then, it has been called the Black Forest.
In view of the strength of the Qi family at that time, although the various families in Lingyang City were aggrieved, they could only swallow their anger. This situation lasted until the appearance of Mu Linfeng three years ago.
"Feng Shui takes turns, Qi family, it's our turn this time!" In the Lin Mansion, Lin Jingtian was dressed in a black power suit, his eyes were full of compelling gazes, and he said in a gloomy tone.
"Patriarch, the second son has been a little abnormal recently, he seems to have recruited some mercenaries from outside, I don't know what he wants to do?"
"Steward Lin, don't worry too much, I have my own measure, and it should be time for him to practice. Maybe he is the best person to inherit my Lin family's family business. Jing Yu is too obsessed with martial arts, I'm afraid he can't take on this big responsibility. ā
Steward Lin's heart moved, he didn't expect that this Lin Jingtian's appearance seemed to be arrogant, but his mind was so meticulous, and he knew his two sons well.
"Oh, by the way, this kid is almost going to come back to see, at this time in previous years, he will come back once, and I don't know what his second uncle taught him to be. ā
"It's probably about this time. Speaking of Lin Jingyu, Steward Lin's heart was also moved, this young man made him too impressed.
"Well, okay, Steward Lin, you go and set it up, and we'll go into the Black Forest on a certain day. But remember, after we go in, find a flat place to camp and rest first, and stay still. ā
Looking at Lin Jingtian, Steward Lin nodded knowingly and turned to leave.

In Qi Zhennan's house in Qi Mansion, the atmosphere was extremely dull.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the annual scramble for the cannibal tree fruit has begun again. This time, we have to give it a go, and whether the family can rise again depends on this move. I hope that this time, we can grab more man-eating tree fruits to enhance the strength of our clan's children!" Qi Zhennan said as he looked at the few people below him with a solemn expression.
"Patriarch, I don't think it's easy this time! Now that the Lin family's strength is in full swing, we can't do it this time." The second elder looked at Qi Zhennan with a worried look on his face, and finally didn't say the rest of the words.
"Second brother, I know what you want to say, but I want to tell you that in the current situation, even if we don't go this time, we will definitely be cut off by the Lin family in the future. After all, back then, our Qi family was too domineering! The Lin family has been dominant all these years, but it is so forbearing, I don't know what Lin Jingtian wants to do. ā
"Instead of sitting and waiting, it's better to give it a go, and maybe there's a glimmer of life. Qi Zhennan sighed helplessly.
"Yes, instead of sitting still, it's better to give it a go!" After a long time, the second elder suddenly looked at Qi Zhennan excitedly, and a battle intent flashed in his eyes.
"Give it a go!" The other people in the room also seemed to be infected by the second elder, and stood up excitedly.
"Okay!" Qi Zhennan looked at everyone with satisfaction: "Even so, we can't be reckless." In order to maximize the loss of loss, after we arrived inside, we found a place to settle, and then centered on the foothold, and the masters of the clan led each team of people to spread out in a radial shape. After obtaining the fruit of the man-eating tree, immediately return to the foothold, in case of an emergency, absolutely do not fall in love, and quickly retreat. After one area is harvested, we move to the next center. ā
"The second, the third, the three of us sit in the center of the center, just in case. ā
After the arrangement, the crowd dispersed. Qi Zhennan's brows tightened, and finally he came to Qi Haotian's residence.
"Haotian!"
"Patriarch, what's the matter?" the drunken Qi Haotian looked at Qi Zhennan who came over in a daze.
"This time, I hope you can do something for the family. ā
"Help?hahahaha!" Qi Haotian laughed self-deprecatingly: "What can I do with this waste?"
"Now there are not many masters in our clan, this time the cannibal tree fruit snatching is so big, I think you should know it!"
"I'm a waste that can't even protect my wife and children, forget it!"
"Qi Haotian!" Qi Zhennan suddenly slapped Qi Haotian violently: "I really feel heartache for Qingying and Qi Xuan, you are not worthy of being their husband and father." Have you forgotten Qing Ying's determination and dedication for you? Didn't you see your son's never giving up? Qing Ying really misjudged you!" Qi Zhennan stopped paying attention to Qi Haotian after speaking, and left directly.
"Qingying, Qingying!" Qi Haotian felt a sharp pain in his heart at this time, calling Mu Qingying's name one by one.
..
A huge dark cloud, I don't know when, appeared over the Black Forest, making the entire forest suddenly darken. Suddenly there was a flash of lightning and thunder, and a huge lightning emitted a dazzling bright light, which split through the thick clouds, and then a torrential downpour followed.
Somewhere in the Black Forest, in the wasteland, there were several rusty broken swords, and underneath the broken swords was a ragged and ragged garment. From this ragged coat, it is no longer clear who his owner is. The function of this vanished life is to add a desolation to this land.
The wind blew up, and a whistling sound was heard throughout the forest. On the land not far away, a flagpole was erected, and the cloth on the flagpole had long since been formed, leaving only some strips of blood-stained black cloth fluttering in the wind, as if telling what it had experienced. The crow flew all the time, standing on it and fluttering, constantly flapping its wings to shake off the rain on its body.
A black spider on a giant tree was constantly spitting silk threads, mending the cobwebs torn by the storm.
Suddenly, the crow on the flagpole seemed to be frightened by something, and rose to the sky in the face of the torrential rain, and disappeared in the rain curtain in an instant.
A dazzling sword light was particularly eye-catching in the gloomy environment, and a scream of "Ah!" was heard, and then the rain on the ground was melted into bursts of red.
A man with a wolf-like glint in his eyes reached out and pulled out a steel knife from the dead man, smiled contemptuously, looked at the cloth bag in his hand full of red fruits, and then spread his body and rushed into the rain.
The storm continued to rage, but many people, at this moment, were forever quiet.
