Qingshan Town, surrounded by mountains and rivers, has beautiful scenery and fresh air. There are not many inhabitants here, and the whole town is inhabited by thousands of families.

There are not many shops in the town, but although the sparrows are small, there are all kinds of shops, such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. And, in the liveliest part of the neighborhood, there is also a hotel.

After Tang Xiu got out of the car at the door of this hotel, he saw a middle-aged man in a black practice uniform, and he greeted him with arrows.

"You're Mr. Tang?"

Tang Xiu said, "I am!"

The middle-aged man said respectfully: "Mr. Tang, our boss and Mr. Shao have been waiting for a long time, please come with me." ”

Tang Xiu nodded, followed the middle-aged man into the hotel, and saw Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen in a spacious and bright room on the second floor. His eyes were vicious, and when he saw the two of them for the first time, he found that the two of them had injuries on their bodies, although they were not very strict, but they still looked a little miserable.

"Brother Tang, you are here. We've suffered a lot this time, and if you don't want to come, we're ready to go home. Miao Wentang stepped up and said with a wry smile on his face.

Tang Xiu smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing, we are all cultivators, it just so happens that I also need a batch of precious ores recently, you have good things to think of me, I'm very happy." ”

Shao Mingzhen said helplessly: "Brother Tang, whether it is a good thing or not, we still don't know! Although we got the news that there was precious ore in the pit that day, it was not true, and no one could say. We went three times and twice, but we didn't go deep into the sinkhole. ”

Tang Xiu nodded and said, "I know this in my heart. However, both of you are cultivators, and your strength is strong, even if it is me, I am no match for you alone. You should have reservations on the phone, right?"

Miao Wentang said: "I do have reservations, I hope Brother Tang will not be surprised." In the forest near the sinkhole in the Pulin Mountains, we encountered a very powerful beast, which looked like a tiger but not a tiger, a leopard but not a leopard, and its size was smaller than an ordinary cheetah, but its speed was too fast, and its IQ was extremely high, and we tried our best to even fight the price of our own injuries, but only slightly injured it. In addition, there seems to be a natural maze in the place where we must go to the sinkhole, and we don't understand the maze, and the result is that we have suffered a great loss from the murderous thing there. Of the dozen or so henchmen I brought, five of them were damaged. ”

Tang Xiu narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "You haven't seen that murderous thing, and you haven't seen any records in the data classics?"

"Nope!"

The two shook their heads.

Tang Xiu said: "That's it, you have injuries on your body, I'll give you a day to rest." Tomorrow morning, let's set off into the Prin Mountains. ”

Miao Wentang rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, the injuries on our bodies are fine. The last time we came back from the Evil Dragon Sea, we bought a precious medicine from you, and it only took us two days to heal the injuries on our bodies. No, we came back the day before yesterday, and we took a lot of Chinese medicine according to your prescription, and after taking it, the internal injuries are now healed, and the skin injuries can heal in the next two days. ”

Tang Xiu was surprised: "Collecting medicine?"

Miao Wentang said: "Yes! It's medicine collection." The Pulin Mountains are almost unexplored and still remain in their original form, with many precious medicinal herbs growing in them. Many of our domestic medicinal herb dealers will come here every once in a while to buy some medicinal herbs from local residents. ”

Tang Xiu said with a smile: "It seems that this is really a treasure mountain. Looking for an opportunity, let's also pick some precious medicinal herbs and come back. ”

Miao Wentang said: "I have sent someone to prepare a suitcase, let's bring it when we enter the mountain." ”

The next day.

The wounds on Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen's bodies have been scarred and no longer affect their strength. As soon as it was dawn, the group walked out of the town and into the forest.

The lush mountains and forests, with a hundred flowers blooming, are beautiful. The rugged mountain road is like walking on the ground for everyone. This time, Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen did not bring many people, there were only six middle-aged men in total, although they were not cultivators, their martial arts skills were also very profound.

On the evening of the second day of entering the mountain, everyone crossed the mountains and finally came to the vicinity of the sinkhole. Along the way, they didn't experience many crises, only a few beast sneak attacks, and they were all killed. After all, Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen had walked this road several times, and they were already quite familiar.

Halfway up the mountain.

Miao Wentang beckoned his subordinates to set up camp and prepare to spend the night here. And Shao Mingzhen came to Tang Xiu's side, looked at the rolling mountains, and sighed: "This Pulin Mountain Range seems to be picturesque, but in fact, it is a hidden murderous machine, if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid it will be difficult to come here." ”

Tang Xiu nodded and said, "This place is indeed full of dangers. According to what you said, we are already very close to our destination, so let you and Miao Wentang's men stay here! They are not cultivators, and following us in will not only not help us, but will become a drag. ”

Shao Mingzhen said: "I also have this intention. We lost too many people this time to afford to continue to lose. ”

Tang Xiu said: "After dinner, you all go to rest, and I will keep vigil." ”

Shao Mingzhen hurriedly said: "Brother Tang, I think it's better to let the others keep vigil, the three of us have a good rest, nourish our spirits, and wait until tomorrow to enter the maze and sinkhole, and we can play better." ”

Tang Xiu shook his head and said, "I have a feeling that the murderous thing you talked about tonight may still appear." If we don't solve it, it will be difficult in the future. ”

Shao Mingzhen said helplessly: "The speed of that murderous creature is too fast, we can't surround it at all!"

Tang Xiu smiled confidently: "Leave it to me, as long as it dares to come again, I will let it come, and it can't go." ”

Shao Mingzhen was surprised: "Brother Tang, do you have a way?"

Tang Xiu said: "Formation!"

Shao Mingzhen's eyes lit up, and he immediately clapped his hands and applauded: "That's right, if you can arrange a trap formation and trap that murderous thing in the formation, it will be much easier for us to hunt it down." In this way, Brother Tang, you can rest and start arranging the formation! I'll go and inform Miao Wentang and get ready to hunt and kill that murderous thing. ”

Tang Xiu stopped him, shook his head and said, "No, clean up that murderous thing, I'll be enough for myself." You guys have a good night's rest, and if everyone helps, I'm afraid I'll be more and more helpful. ”

He stayed in Qingshan Town for one more day, but he was not idle, but bought a lot of things, not only good quality jade, but also pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and dozens of lightning talismans. He was worried that when he used the lightning talisman, he would be seen by Shao Mingzhen and Miao Wentang's men.

Low profile!

In order to make fewer troubles!

The matter of his ability to refine the lightning talisman, apart from Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen, I am afraid that only Ziyi Zhenren knows. Therefore, if this matter can not be spread outside, as few people as possible will know about it.

Shao Mingzhen hesitated: "Can you do it yourself?" or will I accompany you?"

Tang Xiu was silent for a moment and said, "You better stay here! The formation I arranged will be in other places, and I will find a way to lure that murderous creature over." I'll ask Miao Wentang to come with me, and you stay to protect the others. ”

Shao Mingzhen said: "It's okay." If you need my help, you can find a way to inform me when the time comes, and I'll rush over immediately. ”

Late at night.

Tang Xiu and Miao Wentang hid in the dense bushes, and in the open space between several trees, Tang Xiu lit a raging fire and sprinkled a handful of snake herbs picked on the way to the fire. This herb has a good blood tonic effect, but its greatest effect is that it can attract many wild beasts to find it.

After Tang Xiu returned to the earth, he deliberately read the books about Chinese medicinal materials such as "Compendium of Herbs", "Encyclopedia of Chinese Medicinal Materials", "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "Bian Que Pharmacology Compilation" and other books about Chinese medicinal materials, so he also has a deep understanding of the medicinal materials on the earth.

In the wee hours of the morning.

Miao Wentang, who was hiding in the bushes, asked in a low voice, "Brother Tang, did you say that the murderous creature would be attracted over?"

Tang Xiu lowered his voice and said: "Since it took the initiative to sneak attack you a few times ago, it proves that it is very aggressive, there is a fire here, if it is active in the vicinity, it should attract its attention." In addition, within a radius of a kilometer, the smell of snake herbs after being burned wafted through, and if it was a carnivore, it would not help but come over. Don't worry, we'll see. ”

Miao Wentang nodded silently.

As a cultivator, the most important thing he lacks is patience. Since Tang Xiu was so confident, he also gained a lot of confidence.

Soon!

Two wild wolves appeared around, and these two wild wolves howled a few times in the air, and after half a minute, there were a pair of green eyes in the surrounding grass. Dozens of wild wolves came in fear. They seem to be afraid of fire, and they circle around the fire.

"Whew......"

Suddenly!

One wolf raised its head and howled, and the other wolves followed suit and roared in one direction at a very fast speed.

"What's going on?"

Miao Wentang asked in a low voice.

Tang Xiu narrowed his eyes, his divine sense was quickly released in all directions, and when he enveloped all the areas within a radius of two hundred meters, his expression moved slightly, and he said in a low voice, "It's here." ”

Under the observation of his divine sense, he "saw" the appearance of the murderous creature clearly. Indeed, as Miao Wentang and the two said, it looks like a tiger but not a tiger, like a leopard but not a leopard, and the most important thing is that there is an inch-long convex spine on its back.

"Bigger than a cat, smaller than a leopard. He is athletic and vigilant. ”

Tang Xiutong guò observed, and gave an evaluation from the bottom of his heart.

Like an experienced hunter, he was patient enough to watch the beast slowly approach, and soon reached the edge of the formation he had arranged. If it gets ten meters closer, it will enter the formation, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for it to escape.

However.

Just when Tang Xiu thought that the fierce beast was going to enter the formation, a mutation protruded. (To be continued.) )
