Stepping into the clan hall, Chen Zong keenly felt that the atmosphere seemed to be a little different.

Seemingly, a little more heavy.

Seemingly, there was a little more urgency.

Walking towards the underground courtyard, I also met some clan cousins, who looked at their eyes, first surprised, and then shocked.

When the "Chen clan brother ......" walked to the front of the house, a voice sounded behind him, his voice trembled, as if he was surprised and excited.

"Brother Chen Chong. Chen Zong looked back and smiled slightly.

"Brother, it's really you, you're still alive...... That's great...... Are you still alive......" Chen Zhong was so excited that he spoke incoherently: "The elders went into the mountain to look for you, but they didn't find you, they all thought that you had died in Fulong Mountain......

"I'm alive. Chen Zong said with a smile on his face and in an affirmative tone, and Chen Zhong slowly calmed down.

"Let's go to the main hall and meet the elders. Chen Chongyi grabbed Chen Zong's sleeve and said hurriedly.

"Brother don't worry, I'll put things away first. Chen Zongyang said with a big burden on his body, fortunately, the key to the house was not lost.

......

Walking with Chen Chong to the main hall of the clan hall, with Chen Chong's words, Chen Zong's face was cold and his mood was heavy.

I didn't expect that after the day of separation, the loss would be so serious, but perhaps, it was already expected.

The Chen family's iron guard is indeed very strong, and the elder who sits in the mineral vein camp is indeed very strong, but there are too many demon beasts, and in the end, a third-level demon beast appears, and the strength is even more terrifying.

It's just that the elder and the thirty Chen family guards all died because of this, Chen Shaojie's deacon broke an arm, and four of the clan's cousins were missing, and only one of them has returned, and the other three are also very lucky in places like Fulong Mountain.

"What about the current veins?" asked Chen Zong.

"It is said that another iron guard has returned to the garrison and continues to mine iron ore. Chen Zhong said.

That vein is very important to the Chen family, and there is no room for loss, and there is still a considerable part of it that has not been mined, so it is impossible to give it up.

Walking into the main hall, one after another eyes immediately fell on Chen Zong's face, first stunned, and then, the unconcealable ecstasy spread from the bottom of his eyes like a spark.

"Chen Zong......"

"Chen Zong, you are still alive. ”

"I knew you little guy was blessed with a great life. ”

The three elders were stunned for a moment, and then spoke out one after another.

"Elder Wei, Elder Xing, Elder Li......" Chen Zong saluted: "Let you worry." ”

"It was best to be able to come back. Elder Xing smiled widely.

"For more than a month, you have been in Fulong Mountain?" Elder Wei asked after staring at Chen Zonghou.

"Yes, the mountains are lost, by luck. Chen Zong responded with a smile, only he knows the difficulties and dangers, but because of this, he has grown, got opportunities, and become stronger, but there is no need to say all this in detail.

"The cultivation of the fifth layer of the Qi and Blood Realm, you can survive in Fulong Mountain for more than a month and come out intact, you are the first. Elder Li also smiled.

"It's good to be back. Elder Xing sighed, relieved.

"Just outside the city, the young gang leader of the Drizzle Gang and a few gangs wanted to kill me, but I killed him, I don't know if it will cause trouble for the family. Chen Zong said.

"Drizzle Gang...... It's just a small gang, and it dares to attack you, kill it, and if you kill it, your Chen family won't ask for trouble, and it won't dare to provoke it. Elder Xing smiled coldly.

"You don't have to pay attention to this matter, just cultivate well, the Drizzle Gang is not a trouble. Elder Wei also said.

Chen Zong nodded, immediately thought of something, and spoke again: "By the way, three elders, I met a very strange person in Fulong Mountain. ”

"What's this strange method?" Elder Li asked with a smile.

Chen Zong gave a detailed description of the black shadow he encountered in the cave, and saw that the faces of the three elders were full of solemnity and horror.

"Could it be that the legend is true......" Elder Li seemed to say to himself.

"Chen Zong, do you know that our era is called the Zhenwu Era, and the previous era is called the Kingdom Era. Elder Wei spoke, and Chen Zong nodded.

"The kingdom era was destroyed under the demon beasts, but there is a rumor that the reason why the demon beasts gathered from the mountains as an army to invade the kingdom was because someone led it, and the leader was the Black Demon Gate. ”

"Black Demon Gate?" Chen Zong, the first to hear these three words, suddenly had a feeling of palpitations, as if it was a very terrifying existence.

"The Black Demon Gate, the most powerful force in the entire Eastern Continent, any of the three major kingdoms in the Kingdom Era, cannot be compared, the Black Demon Gate is bent on destroying the three kingdoms and then controlling the Eastern Continent. ”

Chen Zong was horrified in his heart.

The most powerful force in the Eastern Continent, this statement is terrifying, so, does the Black Demon Gate have anything to do with the half-human, half-snake monster he encountered?

Could it be that the monster is the doorman of the Black Demon Gate?

Questions popped up in my head.

"In the end, the three kingdoms collapsed, but their desperate counterattack also made the black demon gate and the demon beast army suffer heavy losses, and in the end, it is said that the remnants of the martial artists after the collapse of the three kingdoms gathered together to repel the black demon gate, the black demon gate had to escape into the hundred beast mountains, and the remaining demon beasts were gradually cleaned up, in order to resist the invasion of demon beasts, one by one martial arts cities were established in the hands of the surviving people, and the martial arts techniques were also handed down, so that more people can practice to become warriors, and it also symbolizes the arrival of the era of true martial arts. ”

Chen Zong suddenly realized that these contents were not fully recorded in the books he had read before, especially about the Black Demon Gate.

"The people of the Black Demon Sect are all monsters?" asked Chen Zong.

"We don't know much about the Black Demon Gate, after all, it has disappeared for hundreds of years, but we just know that the martial artists of the Black Demon Gate, known as demon martial artists, are often stronger in overall strength than martial artists who are also cultivated, and they can also exert an ability called demonization, making themselves become half-human and half-demon beasts, becoming more terrifying. Elder Wei finally said.

"In this way, the half-human, half-snake monster I encountered is indeed a demon warrior of the Black Demon Gate. Chen Zong's mood was inexplicably heavy.

"I remember, Shao Jie said that on the night when the demon beasts attacked the camp, there was a mysterious black shadow that sneaked into the camp, and when he left, he was found and slapped in the face, could it be that the demon warrior that Chen Zong encountered?"

"In any case, this news is very important, and it must be transmitted to the family immediately, and then passed from the family to the other families, and be on guard. Elder Wei said, "Sect Chen, you can know about this matter yourself, don't spread it out yet, so as not to cause unnecessary panic." ”

"Yes. Chen Zong nodded.

The three elders had important matters to deal with, Chen Zong said goodbye and left, put it back in the house, took out some herbs and demon beast materials and three foundation building martial arts from the baggage, and came to the main area again, and walked into the Tibetan Martial Arts Building.

The three doors of the foundation martial arts, the clan hall did not have it, and if it was contributed, Chen Zong got five hundred contribution points, and then went to the task room, and the task of guarding the ore veins was interrupted halfway, and he could not get contribution points, but he would not be punished, but it was the task of those herbs and demon beast materials, after Chen Zong handed over the task items, the contribution points increased sharply.

In the end, Chen Zong got more than 1,500 contribution points, adding up to more than 2,000.

You don't need to practice the exercises.

Human-level mid-grade or even higher-grade swordsmanship is not needed for the time being.

There are still some pills used in cultivation, and there are still some in my hands, and I don't need them for the time being.

These contribution points should be saved first.

"I don't know if the three prescriptions needed to cultivate the body forging skill can be found in the clan hall?" With questions, Chen Zong went to the pill room, with more than two thousand contribution points in his body, and he was full of confidence.

But it's a pity that there are not many medicinal materials in stock in the pill room, even if it is the medicinal materials needed for the first prescription Ice and Fire Flame Cream Cream, only half of them can be gathered.

"The cultivation of physical fitness requires a corresponding prescription, otherwise the effect is minimal. ”

"I need to gather a lot of herbs on the prescription, and I also need to have a relatively good environment to boil the ointment. ”

"It's time. ”

Chen Zong picked up his sword and walked towards the main hall again.

In the main hall, there will be at least one person in charge, either an elder or a deacon.

Chen Zong applied to challenge Chen He, who was second in the elite area, and Chen Xia, who was the first, because Chen Xia's small courtyard used to be where Chen Izuyun lived, and it was also the place where he trained the four keys of swordsmanship.

Such challenges are not child's play, they must be applied for, arranged by the clan hall, and held under the presiding witness of the deacons or elders of the clan hall, and cannot be cheated.

As for challenging Chen He, it was purely a counterattack by Chen Zong.

Chen He can't be allowed to trouble himself again and again, but he is indifferent.

"The challenger needs to be notified first, and then you will be notified of the challenge time. The deacon had a kind attitude: "If you name the challenger to go out, you can choose to challenge others or live in the challenger's courtyard first, but you will not enjoy the treatment of elite children, and wait until the challenger comes back to fight, if you can defeat the opponent, the resources you should have will be supplemented." ”

"I see, deacon. Chen Zong bowed and took his leave.

Looking at the sky, there is still some time before the evening, so it is better to take a trip to Dingtian Pavilion.

"Before going to Dingtian Pavilion, bring all the jade money and herbs with you. Chen Zong returned to the house, put away the black iron piece, took the short knife of the treasure iron grade, and left the clan hall after carrying the burden.

According to what Elder Wei said, Dingtian Pavilion is open all over the martial cities, so the power should be very huge, but Dingtian Pavilion does not compete for hegemony, but only trades, so he may be able to find all kinds of medicinal materials for cultivating body forging exercises in Dingtian Pavilion.

"I can also see if there are any treasures in the Dingtian Pavilion that can restore Daddy's qi and blood cultivation. Chen Zong said secretly, his eyes were shining, and his heart was hot.

Hearing Elder Wei's words that day, Chen Zong knew that it was more difficult than he imagined to restore Daddy's cultivation, and with his own ability, maybe he could indeed do it in the future, but Daddy's body was getting worse and worse, and the longer it dragged on, the worse it was, and it would be better if he could solve it as soon as possible.

Dingtian Pavilion is a place of hope today.
