Chapter 24: Scouts
Jiang Qin lay on his stomach in a low bush, looking at the empty valley below. He had been lying here for www.biquge.info hour, but he had no intention of moving, for that was his mission—to find out what was going on.
This is not the first time he has done such a task. Not long ago, at the age of fourteen, he was incorporated into the Yanxian Gang's Broken Blade Hall, and he was about to officially participate in the war against the Yang Xin Gang.
Just as he was preparing something to survive the war, someone from above told him that he had been transferred to the Hall of Shadows and was a member of the Scouts of the Flame Immortals. Although it was strange why he was transferred to the Shadow Hall, he had no choice but to pack up his things and go to the Shadow Hall to report.
It was in the council hall of the Shadow Hall that Jiang Qin saw the person he least wanted to see - Shen Fei.
"Sure enough, it's because of him." Jiang Qin sighed in his heart.
In the past few years, Shen Fei can be said to be more concerned about his cultivation than himself. Not only did he provide a Gathering Spirit Circle for him to cultivate, but he also got some herbs every now and then, boiled some strange juices, and let him soak in them.
It's also amazing, Jiang Qin feels that after soaking these herbs, his strength is much greater than before, and now he can easily lift three or four hundred catties. Therefore, he no longer resisted Shen Fei's behavior, but seized every opportunity to improve his strength.
In the council hall of the Shadow Hall, Jiang Qin was arranged to join a team with Shen Fei to participate in the reconnaissance mission of Red Leaf Mountain before the war. The purpose is to find out whether the Yangxin Gang has an ambush in Hongye Mountain, whether the other party has sent people to sneak attack, and set traps.
For such a detachment, Jiang Qin was unwilling in his heart. Because he knew that Shen Fei's purpose was probably not just to let him help deal with the elixir's guardian spirit beast, there must be other intentions, but what it was, he didn't know yet.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qin turned his head and looked at a big tree not far away, where Shen Fei was hiding.
Perhaps sensing Jiang Qin's gaze, the leaves on the big tree moved slightly, and Shen Fei slid down from the tree.
"It seems that there are no people from the Yangxin Gang in this valley, let's go down." Shen Fei said to Jiang Qin.
"Yes. But I have a question I don't know whether to say or not. Jiang Qin said.
"If you have something to say, you don't have to babble."
"Yes. Why did Captain Shen not do the relatively safe task instead, but to do such a dangerous task? Jiang Qin asked.
"Great question. The reason why I asked to do this task with you is very simple, because I have not much to live, and I must find the orange and yellow Lingzhi as soon as possible and rely on it to break through, otherwise I will turn into a pile of loess. Shen Fei said lightly.
"What? Captain Shen is running out of longevity? Jiang Qin said in surprise.
"What? Are you happy? Shen Fei said.
"How could it be. I will work harder to find the orange reishi. Jiang Qin hurriedly replied.
Shen Fei just responded lightly and walked towards the valley, as if he didn't care about Jiang Qin's answer.
It took about a pillar of incense for the two to go down to the bottom. The bottom of the valley is not large, with a radius of only seventy or eighty zhang. There is a thin layer of white powder on the ground at the bottom of the valley, which looks like it should have been formed by weathering the bones, but it is not known whether it is human or animal bones.
In some places where the sun does not shine, there are some small red flowers, these small flowers have no leaves, but the only flowers are bright as blood, and they look very terrible.
Shen Fei looked at these small red flowers and said to Jiang Qin, "This kind of flower is called blood turnip, which generally grows in places with a large number of bones, and lives on the nutrients left in the bones. It was one of the beast's favorite foods, and we looked separately to see if we could find anything. By the way, be careful. ”
Jiang Qin looked at Shen Fei, then at the small red flowers, nodded to show that he knew, and walked towards a place with small flowers.
At the moment when Jiang Qin turned around, a hint of joy flashed in Shen Fei's eyes, and then he couldn't control it anymore and turned into ecstasy, and finally his whole face was a little distorted.
Jiang Qin didn't know anything about Shen Fei's expression behind him, but he wouldn't really just turn his back to Shen Fei like that, especially in such a remote place.
I saw Jiang Qin take out two paper bags and a small bottle from his sleeve as he walked. Jiang Qin opened the paper packet, poured one package into his mouth, and the other bag was sprinkled directly on his body, and the vial was held directly in his hand.
This was specially prepared by him for this mission, and it was claimed that he could poison all the monks below the foundation building period. This poison is divided into two parts, yin and yang, and it is not toxic when separated separately, but once mixed together, it will produce severe poison. He had taken the antidote, and the vial contained the other half of the poison.
Although he didn't know Shen Fei's specific cultivation realm, if this poison was really as effective as the seller said, it should have an impact on Shen Fei, at least making him dare not approach him. It's not that Jiang Qin doesn't want to prepare more powerful poisons, but those are not something he can buy, and these are what he spent most of his savings to buy.
When doing this, Jiang Qin deliberately increased his movements, as if he was afraid that Shen Fei would not see it, and the meaning was self-evident.
Shen Fei saw Jiang Qin's movements, the ecstasy on his face finally subsided, he didn't speak, and after sneering, he turned around and walked to another place.
Jiang Qin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Shen Fei walking towards another place, "Fortunately, the cultivation of the Earth Walking Body has reached the fourth layer, otherwise there will be a hundred poisons, and I am afraid it will be difficult to know the appropriate time to use it, and it will be difficult to deter Shen Fei." ”
Speaking of "Earth Walking Body", Jiang Qin has now practiced to the fourth level. Although this exercise did not make him as strong as his peers, it had another wonderful point, that is, his five senses were greatly enhanced. After practicing to the fourth layer, he can already reach the point where the fallen leaves can be heard within a radius of one zhang. No matter how light his steps are, he can't hide them.
Of course, if Shen Fei was to fly with the sword, this move would be useless, so Jiang Qin had to turn his head from time to time to determine Shen Fei's position.
"You'd better be careful. Also, your stuff is useless to me. If you have the mind to watch out for me, you might as well spend it all on cultivation. In this way, it will not be a full four years, with the help of the Spirit Gathering Array and elixir, to cultivate to the fourth layer! Shen Fei said.
Jiang Qin, who was broken out of his mind, didn't blush, and simply faced Shen Fei openly, retreating and moving forward.
When Shen Fei saw this scene, the murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and after snorting coldly, he continued to check Xiaohua.
Half an hour later, the two of them checked all the places where there were small flowers, but found nothing.
"It seems that the brute hasn't been to this place, and has destroyed all these flowers, so let's go to the next location." Shen Fei commanded.
"But our mission is to monitor this place, so it's not good." Jiang Qin said.
"Do as I say, I'll take care of what happens." Shen Fei said without refusal.
"Yes." Jiang Qin replied, then took out a map from his arms and looked at it.
"Don't bother, follow me." Shen Fei said.
Shen Fei took Jiang Qin all the way to a cave. This cave was covered by dense woods, and if it weren't for Shen Fei's guidance, Jiang Qin wouldn't have discovered that there was a cave here.
After coming here, Shen Fei did not enter the cave immediately, but paused for a moment and said to Jiang Qin: "Since you don't worry about me, then I won't go in this time, and you will go and check it yourself." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Qin looked at Shen Fei with some confusion, not knowing what he was thinking again.
"Alright, let's go." Shen Fei saw that Jiang Qin was stunned and didn't move, so he raised his hand and waved. Suddenly, Jiang Qin felt a gust of wind blowing, and by the time he reacted, he had already come to the cave.
Jiang Qin glanced back at Shen Fei, and saw that he really stayed where he was, and his heart was slightly relieved. Then he took out a fire breaker and lit it, drew a soft sword with his other hand, and walked into the cave.
Due to the lack of sunlight all year round, the cave was very humid, and the ground was also covered with moss, which made Jiang Qin walk three times and walk very difficult.
Not long after entering the cave, Jiang Qin found that bright red blood turnip, and he couldn't help but squat down and take a closer look.
Just as Jiang Qin looked at the last few flowers, the skin on his neck trembled, and his hairs stood on end.
Don't think about it in a hurry, Jiang Qin is a tumbling forward. In the next second, a knife with a cold light slashed at the position he had just been in.
"What people! Dare to sneak up on me! Jiang Qin shouted loudly.
In fact, who attacked him, Jiang Qin knew very well. The only people who can shoot at him here are the people of the Yangxin Gang. The reason why he shouted this was that he wanted to delay time so that he could adapt to the dark environment as much as possible. The second is to inform Shen Fei that he has been attacked. Thinking that Shen Fei took a fancy to him, he would definitely come to save him.
But it was clear that his first purpose had failed. The other party did not answer his words, but continued to chase and slash with a knife.
After a short period of adaptation, Jiang Qin slowly calmed down, he threw away the fire fold in his hand, held the sword in both hands, and fought with the other party.
Jiang Qin didn't learn any martial arts systematically, and he quickly fell behind, but his keen hearing allowed him to always dodge before the opponent's knife reached him.
The other party obviously also discovered this, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry to change his method to take down Jiang Qin, but attacked as before.
Jiang Qin slowly adapted to the rhythm of the opponent's attack, becoming more and more flexible between dodges, and occasionally counterattacking a few moves.
At this moment, there was a sound of "dang", like the sound of a knife slashing on a stone. Then Jiang Qin's whole body flashed red, and a red light mask enveloped him in it.
"Cultivator! He's a cultivator! Run! ”
The person who spoke was not the person who attacked Jiang Qin before, and the voice came from behind Jiang Qin. In other words, there is a second person from the Yang Xin Gang here!
