Chapter 236: Confrontation
Huo Zhen was silent, he knew that what Shen Cheng said was right, many talented martial artists in the current era of the end of the law were almost stuck at the innate threshold, and treasures such as Wudao tea were as precious as life-saving straws in their eyes.

"Huo Zhen, can this blood tea tree be transplanted?" Yan Piaopiao, who was beside him, stroked the hair on his forehead, looked at the tea tree on the cliff and asked.
"It can't be transplanted, you can see the color of this cliff, this is the soil that Wudao tea has been nurtured for thousands of years, once you leave this place, Wudao tea will completely wither." Huo Zhen shook his head and said.
Yan Piaopiao listened, and a little depression flashed on her face, "Then we can only look at the baby?" ”
"Otherwise, this cliff is so high and the surface is so smooth, we don't have any climbing tools, even if we want to pick tea." Huo Zhen spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Okay, let's find a place to set up a tent first, there are a lot of tea leaves on the tea tree, and when the holy woman of the Gu clan comes, we can ask her for a few." Shen Cheng waved his hand and went to the side to find a place to set up a tent.
……
At the foot of Liyang Mountain.
Changqing and Shaolan took a peripheral member of the Dry Blood Gu Sect and set off from Liyang Town before dawn and rushed to the place where Huo Zhen and the three of them rested last night.
"The fire has no temperature, and they have been away for a long time." Looking at the fire that burned to ashes, Shaolan said in a deep voice.
"Hmph, no matter how far they can go, they won't be able to escape our palms this time." Changqing snorted coldly, in order to deal with Shen Cheng this time, he had prepared a lot of things, even the five-tone flute that the blood lord gave him that could control poisonous insects and beasts.
Shaolan nodded and said with a smile: "There is only one road in Liyang Mountain, we only need to guard the cliff path to catch the three of them." ”
"It's not proper, it's inevitable that the night will be long and dreamy, let's go directly to them, with the pentatonic flute in hand, most of the poisonous insects and beasts in Liyang Mountain will listen to my orders, I don't believe that the young master next to Shen Cheng can make any big waves!" Changqing waved his hand with an impatient look.
Shaolan opened his mouth, wanting to persuade Changqing to be more stable, but he still swallowed back when the words came to his mouth, Changqing must have been severely criticized by the blood lord for failing last time, and his eagerness to find Shengyu to complete the task is understandable.
Immediately, a group of more than a dozen people did not hesitate and walked along the mountain road to the depths of Liyang Mountain.
And not long after they left, a plainly dressed ethnic minority girl came to the foot of the mountain happily humming a song, but when she saw the trampled weeds on the mountain road, a trace of doubt appeared on her lovely face.
Ordinary Liyang Mountain is inaccessible, every year at this time of year she comes to pick blood tea, there is no trace of pedestrians, but this time there seem to be a lot of people in front.
Could it be that the blood tea tree has been discovered?
The girl couldn't help but have such a thought in her mind, after all, in addition to poisonous snakes and beasts, the most valuable thing in Liyang Mountain was the blood tea tree on the blood cliff.
Thinking of this, the girl's pace quickened a lot, although that blood tea tree belonged to an ownerless thing, but it had been used by the Gu clan for so many years, and it was already a Gu clan thing in name, so she would never allow outsiders to touch this blood tea tree.
With the passage of time, the mist shrouded in the mountains gradually disappeared, and the warm sunlight hung high, shining the entire Liyang Mountain clearly, and the mountains and rivers were beautiful from a distance, just like the scenery in the painting.
"It's a sunny day, it looks like we won't have to wait long." Shen Cheng looked at the cloudless sky, touched his chin and laughed.
"Uncle Shen, do you mean that the Holy Maiden of the Gu Clan will come today?" Huo Zhen was stunned.
Shen Cheng nodded, "The saints of the Gu clan usually come over to pick blood tea on sunny days, and the sunny days in Liyang Town are almost rare, so if the information Aunt Qiu gave me is correct, the saints will definitely come over today." “
"Hehe, our luck is quite good, we met such good weather on the second day of the mountain!" Yan Piaopiao smiled, although the mountain air was very fresh, it was too uncomfortable to sleep in the tent, and she was just too tired last night to sleep so soundly.
"yes, I think you're so badly lucky!" However, at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
As soon as Huo Zhen and Shen Cheng turned around, they saw the dwarf male Changqing and Shaolan walking over from the side of the mountain road, followed by more than a dozen men with crossbow arrows.
"Who did I think it was, it turned out to be you two clowns?" Huo Zhen said with a faint smile, but his tone was full of sarcasm.
"You!" As soon as Changqing heard this, the anger in his heart rose suddenly, "Sharp teeth and sharp mouth, I'll see how you laugh later!" ”
With that, he waved his hand, and more than a dozen of his subordinates behind him all raised their crossbow arrows and aimed them at the three of them.
"Shen Cheng, I advise you to be more interesting and obediently hand over the holy jade, otherwise you won't want to leave here alive today!" Shaolan on the side squinted and shouted.
"You have already said this in Jianghai City!" Shen Cheng pursed his lips disdainfully, took a step forward, stretched out his hands and said, "See, the holy jade is not in my hands at all, you will kill me now!" ”
Changqing's face immediately became gloomy, and his eyes stared at Shen Cheng and said, "Don't use the previous set to threaten me, if you don't hand over the holy jade today, your two partners will suffer!" ”
"Hehe, Changqing, more than twenty years have passed, and you still haven't grown at all, do you have any other means besides threatening the people around me?" Shen Cheng laughed contemptuously.
Changqing's face turned dark, and he waved his hand very angrily and said, "Give me arrows!" ”
The words fell, and more than a dozen subordinates started in unison.
Whoosh!
The short arrow swooped towards Huo Zhen and the three of them with a screaming sound.
Huo Zhen's eyes froze, his body quickly flashed in front of Yan Piaopiao, and with a strong kick under his feet, a fist-sized rock shattered into countless stones, and rushed towards the sharp arrow.
Ding Ding Ding.
Seven or eight short arrows collided with the stones with a crisp sound, and then fell to the ground one after another.
Shen Cheng grabbed a nylon rope here, and with the rotation of his arm, the nylon rope rotated in a spiral, breaking the short arrows that came from the blast one after another.
The first wave of attacks was easily defused by the two.
"Keep put!" Changqing shouted with a gloomy face.
Whoosh!
The short arrows came again.
However, this time the short arrow was different from Fang Cai, when it hit the stone and nylon rope, the short arrow did not fall, but directly collapsed, and streams of green gas emitted out.
"Huo Zhen, cover your mouth and nose, this is poison!" Shen Cheng snorted, then hurriedly tore off a corner of his clothes and blocked his mouth and nose with his hand.
Huo Zhen reacted very quickly, and when the green gas was emitted, he blocked Yan Piaopiao's mouth and nose with the torn clothes, and he closed his breath, and at the same time, the dragon-shaped true qi was released, forming a defense on the surface of his body.
"Unleash the worm mist!" Seeing this, Changqing sneered and waved his hand again.
More than a dozen subordinates took out the round bags like rainy dolls from their bodies, untied them, and threw them at Huo Zhen and the three of them.
Suddenly, a burst of black gas emitted out, and it soon pounced on Huo Zhen and the three of them.
"Be careful, these are Gu worms!" Shen Cheng shouted sharply, and at the same time ripped open the tent beside him and blocked in front of the three of them.
This burst of black gas permeated the surface of the tent, and Huo Zhen saw clearly the black insects the size of a grain of rice, which were squirming densely on the tent and biting at the same time.
