The afternoon sun shines through the moss-clinging patio and spreads quietly in the slightly small hall.

Mu Chen sat at the simple wooden table, trying his best to calm the turbulent emotions in his heart, listening to Tao Xianzhu's words with a sinking face, and thinking hatefully in his heart: "I knew that this matter must not be as simple as I imagined!" ”

Tao Xianzhu looked at Mu Chen's serious expression on his face, and after hesitating for a while, he stubbornly said, "Immortal Mu Chang, I don't know why, your fellow disciple didn't inform you of this matter. But just over a month ago, the sect sent someone to help us deal with the poisonous Jiao. We only need to wait for someone to destroy the poison Jiao, and then issue a letter and let the Immortal Chief go to Mangcheng to get the test spirit stone by himself, and take away the spirit stone that we have kept for several generations. ”

"Master, it seems that the main messenger behind this matter is acting quite unscrupulously, and he doesn't even hide his intentions at all." Mu Qingxuan leaned on Mu Chen's ear and said with a soft smile.

"Humph!" Mu Chen snorted lightly, looked up at the burly Tao Xianzhu, and said in a deep voice: "Your village can survive in the Mang Mountain surrounded by demon beasts, and its strength must be quite strong, why don't you go and kill that poisonous Jiao yourself?" ”

Tao Xianzhu had a wry smile on his face, his eyes were full of helplessness and pain, and he replied respectfully: "Immortal Mu Chang, although our village has some meager strength, the strongest is only the twelfth layer of condensation. Although we have organized several hunting parties, we want to eradicate the poisonous dragon. But all of them ended up in a completely annihilated army, and now the strength of the village is extremely empty, and it is quite difficult to even maintain daily patrols. ”

Mu Chen frowned, his blade-like gaze swept over Tao Xianzhu and Tao Da Niu's faces, seeing that they didn't look like they were lying, after pondering for a while, he said slowly: "Where is that poisonous Jiao now?" How strong is it? ”

Tao Xianzhu's face was embarrassed, and he vomited for a long time before he whispered: "Don't hide it from the immortal chief, that poisonous Jiao lives in the poisonous dragon pool." In the battles with us, it was only a few moments at a time before the hunting party was wiped out, and we don't know how strong it really was. But as far as I can deduce, at least it's also the realm of the Demon King. ”

After Mu Chen heard Tao Xianzhu's words, he couldn't help but tighten his scalp, looked directly into Tao Xianzhu's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "What you said is true?" That poisonous Jiao, does it really have the strength to approach the realm of the demon king? ”

Tao Xianzhu was stared at by Mu Chen's sharp gaze, with an unnatural expression on his face, but he looked at Mu Chen for a moment, and said firmly: "Mu Xianchang, it's not close to the realm of the demon king, but at least the realm of the demon king!" We Orions, who grew up in the mountains, are not strong. But judging the strength of the prey and whether it can eat it or not is a necessary ability for every hunter! ”

Mu Chen's brows furrowed, he slowly leaned his body back on the chair, and muttered in his mouth: "A poisonous Jiao of the Demon King realm is not something I can deal with at all. It seems that the person behind the troublemaker really doesn't want me to go back alive. ”

"Master, this thing is very strange." Mu Qingxuan said softly in a solemn tone: "No matter how unscrupulous the main messenger behind it is, it is impossible to set up such an almost certain death situation. The Guiyuan Sect has strict rules, once this matter is exposed, no matter how powerful the main messenger behind the scenes is, he may not be able to escape the punishment of the sect. ”

"Maybe their purpose was not my life in the first place, but to take advantage of this dead situation to force me to lose my qualification to become an elder disciple." Mu Chen raised his head, stared at the countless fine dust flying in the sunlight shining down from the patio, and said lightly.

Tao Xianzhu saw that Mu Chen seemed to want to give up the task, Jin Shan knelt down like a jade pillar, and cried in his mouth: "Mu Xianchang, can you just let go!" Since this poisonous Jiao came to Mangshan, the long insects in the mountain have all become essences! It's quite difficult for us to even hunt now, and if we continue like this, we will have to leave our families and businesses to flee! ”

Mu Chen sighed, helplessly stretched out his hand to help Tao Xianzhu up, and said in a deep voice: "It's not that I want to leave it alone, but this poisonous Jiao is not something I can handle at all." If I rush there, I'll just add one more dish to it. ”

Tao Daniu stood aside, seeing this scene, his eyes rolled, he reached out and grabbed the corner of Tao Xianzhu's clothes, and said urgently: "Daddy, do you remember the group of people who came to our village some time ago to inquire about the location of the poisonous Jiao?" Have you forgotten that you said that they were so powerful that they might be able to help us get rid of the big trouble? ”

Tao Xianzhu let out a long sigh, smiled apologetically at Mu Chen, lowered his head and said, "But since they entered the mountain, it has been seven days, and there has been no movement at all on the side of the Poison Dragon Pond, so they must have all died in the mouth of the Poison Jiao." ”

Tao Da Niu said eagerly: "Daddy, even if they all die in the mouth of the poisonous Jiao, they must have already hit the poisonous Jiao hard. As long as we gather the strength of the whole village and go to the Poison Dragon Pond with the Immortal Chief, we may be able to wipe out the already injured Poison Jiao! ”

Tao Xianzhu's eyes lit up, but they dimmed in an instant, shook his head and sighed: "How do you know that Poison Jiao must be seriously injured?" Although that group of people went to the Poison Dragon Pond, in the past few days, there has been no movement in the direction of the Poison Dragon Pond, maybe the Poison Jiao didn't have much to do, and they all swallowed them all. ”

"Village Chief, what the hell is going on? Listening to what you just said, is there another group of people who want to get rid of the poison Jiao? A gleam flashed in Mu Chen's eyes, he turned his head to look at Tao Xianzhu, who had a gloomy face, and asked.

Tao Xianzhu saw Mu Chen asking, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "That group of people is from many sects in Mangcheng, and after hearing that we have poisonous Jiao here, they gathered for the treasures on the poisonous Jiao's body. After inquiring about the location of the Poison Dragon Pond from us, he left in a hurry. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's all in the stomach of the poisonous Jiao. ”

"Master, the materials on the poison Jiao's body are quite rare treasures, especially the inner pill of the poison Jiao, which can ward off all kinds of poisons. It is the main material for refining poison beads, which is extremely rare. That group of people is probably just to refine the poison beads, so they will take the risk to hunt the poison Jiao. Mu Qingxuan leaned into Mu Chen's ear and said softly: "That kid is right, if we are careful, maybe we can really pick up a big bargain." ”

Mu Chen lowered his head and pondered for a while, looked up at Tao Xianzhu, who was looking at him expectantly, and said in a deep voice: "Excuse me, where is the Poison Dragon Pond where the Poison Jiao lives?" (To be continued.) )
