"However, that Shen Tao is a popular man in the village, if he dies on the mountain, we won't have any trouble, right?"

The dwarf on the side said with some concern.

"Shorty, you kid is really stupid, let's kill him on the mountain, just find a hidden place and bury him, who will find it? Besides, who would have thought that Shen Tao would run to the mountains in the middle of the night? ”

Mazi said confidently: "In this way, when everyone wakes up the next day, they will find that Shen Tao has suddenly disappeared, he is equivalent to evaporating from the world, no one can find him, no one can find evidence related to us!" ”

Speaking of this, Mazi suddenly showed an evil smile: "When this kid dies, then Zhao Ziling, isn't it within reach?" ”

"What Mazi said makes sense."

After listening to Mazi's words, Jingtai nodded again in agreement.

"What if that kid resists while we're messing with him in the mountains?" The dwarf continued to ask, looking a little worried.

"Shorty, say you're stupid, you're really stupid, he's a kid from the city, and he's rich, he must be pampered, and he's thin, looking at him like that, he must be powerless."

Mazi smiled and continued: "The five of us to deal with him are simply hand-to-hand, killing him like killing a chicken!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! What Brother Mazi said makes sense. The rest of the group nodded.

"Mazi's plan is really wonderful!" Jingtai also showed a cold smile.

"As long as you do this, I'm sure this kid will definitely die!" Mazi said with a smile.

"Haha......"

Everyone burst into laughter.

……

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening, and Shen Tao and his party returned to the village as scheduled.

When he was inspecting the mountain today, Shen Tao completely made the appearance of inspecting the mountain spring, and did not pay much attention to the surrounding plants.

The reason is very simple, he did this to make the village chief and others more convinced that he was here to investigate the development of high-end drinking water, not because of blood crystal grass.

As for the matter of the Blood Crystal Grass, Zhao Ziling's mother-in-law knew where it was, and had already told Zhao Ziling the location.

Therefore, Shen Tao didn't need to pay attention to the Blood Crystal Grass anymore, he just needed to find a suitable time to go up the mountain with Zhao Ziling and pick the Blood Crystal Grass that Zhao Ziling's mother-in-law said.

As for this opportune time, it will definitely not work during the day, because the village chief and others have been following.

Shen Tao had already thought about it, so he chose one night, in the dead of night, he and Zhao Ziling went up the mountain to pick together.

One day, two days, three days.

For three consecutive days, Shen Tao went up the mountain with the village chief and others every day to investigate.

It was the third day, and it was also the time that Shen Tao had calculated, going up the mountain to pick the Blood Crystal Grass.

During the day on the third day, Shen Tao was still the same as before, under the leadership of the village chief, he went up the mountain to investigate and did not return home until the evening.

After returning home, Shen Tao ate and slept as always.

It wasn't until half past twelve in the middle of the night that Shen Tao and Zhao Ziling secretly got up, and then under the cover of night, they quietly went out and walked towards the mountain.

At this time, behind a stone not far from Zhao Ziling's house.

"I don't know how long it will take for this kid Shen Tao to go up the mountain to collect blood crystal grass." The dwarf said with blank eyes.

"Yes, we've been staying up for three days and nights, if this kid didn't go up the mountain until ten and a half months later, wouldn't we have to squat for ten days and half a month?"

The other also spoke.

These people all seemed to be in no spirits.

Obviously, staying up late for three days in a row made them feel bored.

"What's the hurry? Wait slowly, I don't believe he won't show up. Jingtai on the side frowned and said at the same time.

"Brother Tai! Brother Tai! That kid seems to have appeared! It's still with Zhao Ziling! ”

Mazi, who was hiding in the front to observe, lowered his voice and said excitedly.

"Great, this kid is finally going to act, haha!"

After hearing Mazi's words, everyone was overjoyed, and then immediately cheered up, they have been waiting for so many days, isn't it now?

Of course, the most exciting thing is Jingtai.

"Let's go! Let's keep up! ”

Jingtai, who was excited, spoke.

"Brother Tai, wait a minute, we can't get too close, lest we be discovered, if we are discovered before we enter the mountain, and the people in the village are alarmed, our plan will be in vain."

Mazi grabbed Jingtai and continued to remind: "Not only do we have to stay away, but when we follow, it's best for everyone not to make a sound, so as not to be discovered." ”

"Yes, yes, it's still Mazi's thoughtfulness."

After listening to Mazi's words, Jingtai nodded in a sudden understanding.

So, they waited until Shen Tao had walked a certain distance before following from a distance.

At this point, the other side.

Shen Tao and Zhao Ziling hurried towards the mountain.

Both knew that time was of the essence and that they had to finish picking before dawn and return to the village, the sooner they returned to the village, the better.

Although Zhao Ziling is a weak girl, since she took Pei Yuan Dan, her physical fitness has been greatly improved.

It can be said that Zhao Ziling's physical fitness is comparable to that of an athlete, and it is better than that of ordinary men, so it is naturally easy to hurry.

Therefore, both of them traveled relatively fast.

"Ling'er, someone is following us."

Shen Tao, who was walking on the road on the mountain, frowned, and suddenly spoke.

As a cultivator, Shen Tao had excellent hearing sensibility, and now that they were secretly going up the mountain to collect blood crystal grass, Shen Tao was naturally paying attention to the surrounding situation.

Therefore, not long after leaving, Shen Tao found that dozens of meters behind him, someone was secretly following them.

According to the sound of footsteps, Shen Tao initially estimated that there were at least four or five people.

"Huh?"

When Zhao Ziling heard this, he was immediately startled.

"Brother Shen Tao, it won't be ...... The people in the village have found out, right? This...... What can I do? Zhao Ziling said with a worried face.

After all, the two of them secretly went to pick the Blood Crystal Grass, and Zhao Ziling was inevitably a little worried and scared in his heart.

"I don't know, let's keep going! We'll find out later! ”

Shen Tao couldn't be sure in his heart.

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Shen Tao." Zhao Ziling nodded.

Although Zhao Ziling was worried, with Shen Tao by her side, she had a sense of security, since she came into contact with Shen Tao, it seemed that Shen Tao could solve anything she encountered.

Therefore, even if she was worried in her heart, since Shen Tao said so, she also chose to believe in Shen Tao from the bottom of her heart, believing that Shen Tao could have a way.

The two of them continued to walk up the hill, and their pace quickened considerably, and soon they entered the mountain.

After entering the mountain, he walked for more than 20 minutes and came to a cliff.

"Come out?"

Shen Tao turned to look into the darkness, and said indifferently at the same time.

In the mountains at night, it was very quiet, so this sentence naturally resounded nearby, and within a radius of 100 meters, Shen Tao's words could be clearly heard.

More than forty meters behind Shen Tao.

"Brother Tai? He...... Did he find us? ”

After everyone heard Shen Tao's voice, their faces changed.

"I didn't expect this kid to stop being capable, we followed so carefully, he could find us, Brother Tai, what should we do?"

Mazi on the side also spoke.

"What about discovery, the sooner he finds out, the sooner he will die, there happens to be a cliff here, kill him, throw him off the cliff, who can find him?"

After Jingtai heard Shen Tao's words, he did not panic in the slightest, but showed a hideous smile.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

After everyone heard Jingtai's words, they all nodded.

"Brothers! Bright guys! Today is the death date of this kid! ”

Jingtai, who had a hideous face, shouted and pulled out a short knife from his waist at the same time.

After the other four heard Jingtai's words, they also drew out the short knives they were carrying.

Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of Jingtai, the five people walked out directly to Shen Tao.

"Hmph, Jingtai, it's really you."

Shen Tao couldn't help but sneer when he saw that it was Jingtai and the five people who came out of the darkness.

Obviously, Shen Tao had already guessed that it was very likely that Jingtai's group was following them, but Shen Tao was not completely sure.

Since it was Jingtai Five, not the villagers, Shen Tao was completely relieved.

Jingtai not only killed Zhao Ziling's father, but also tried to harm him Shen Tao twice, these behaviors had already annoyed Shen Tao.

In Shen Tao's heart, this Jingtai has been sentenced to death.

Shen Tao had been having a headache before, how could he get rid of Jingtai without being discovered by the village.

Now, this Jingtai took the initiative to send it to the door.

Shen Tao knew in his heart that the five Jingtai people were following them on the mountain to get rid of him, but who was getting rid of whom? It's hard to say......
