Chapter 9

This knife was cut, not even the edge of the blue-eyed gray wolf, the pair of green wolf eyes that Zhang Zhao saw in his eyes were about to stick to his face, watching the wolf open his mouth and bite, he smelled a fishy breath in his nose, felt that his breath was stagnant, his body flew backwards, and his feet rose from the ground.

A pair of blue eyes in front of him kept that distance from him, staring at him and gradually dimming. Zhang Zhao didn't feel any pain except for the lightness of his whole body, but he felt out of breath.

Zhang Zhao's feet kicked continuously, and his feet were empty. "Is this dead?" he was thinking, when his neck loosened, and his feet fell to the ground.

The white-haired old man in his eyes gently lowered the collar on the back of Zhang Zhao's neck with one hand, and threw the motionless blue-eyed gray wolf aside with the other.

Zhang Zhao took a few breaths, figured out the situation in front of him, and turned around and was thinking about saying something to thank him, but found that the person in front of him was not as old as he thought, although he was full of white hair, he had thick eyebrows, a straight nose and thin lips, and there were not too many wrinkles on his face, at most he was about the same age as the old butcher.

It seemed that the white-haired man's face was still a little pale, he looked sideways at the place where he was sitting just now, and Zhang Zhao also looked at it, and the few rays of sunlight were gradually fading. The white-haired man sighed, and Zhang Zhao clearly felt his regret in it.

The blue-eyed gray wolf curled up motionless on the ground, its huge mouth slightly open, gurgling and bleeding, and it died silently at this moment.

Zhang Zhao stared at this scene blankly, although he was not even an amateur hunter, and he had heard Cui Meng say how fierce this blue-eyed gray wolf was, if it wasn't for stepping on the beast trap, it would take more than a dozen adult hunters to kill it.

This blue-eyed gray wolf chased him for so long, and he was obviously in good shape, but he was killed all at once, which shows the power of this white-haired man.

Zhang Zhao looked at the white-haired man with admiration: "Uncle, you are so powerful, how did you kill such a big wolf." ”

The white-haired man ignored him, just looked up at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhang Zhao looked at the wolf corpse and said, "Uncle, if you don't hurry up and skin the wolf, it will be difficult to get it off after a while." ”

The white-haired man said coldly: "I don't want it, whatever you want." ”

Zhang Zhao hurriedly stepped forward, took out a sharp skinning hook knife and cut it along the wolf's throat, and made an opening from the wolf's abdomen and four feet, and peeled off most of the wolf's skin with a few light hands and feet.

This series of movements is extremely skillful, the white-haired man casually looked, Zhang Zhao's brisk and swift movements made him a little surprised, and in the blink of an eye, Zhang Zhao completely peeled off the wolf skin.

The white-haired man snorted, looking at Zhang Zhao's gaze couldn't help but be a little surprised, Zhang Zhao shook the wolf skin, raised his head to meet the white-haired man's eyes, Zhang Zhao thought he was a little regretful, and said with a smile: "Uncle, this skin is good, otherwise I'll give it to you." ”

The white-haired man snorted, "I think you're good, boy, what are you doing?"

Zhang Zhao folded the wolf skin and smiled embarrassedly: "I killed pigs, and I followed Ermeng up the mountain, and the beast in the trap was directly skinned." ”

As he spoke, he walked over to the skinned wolf and slashed down with a few slashes, cutting off all four legs. "Uncle, there is a lot of meat on this wolf's leg, do you want it? ”

The white-haired man didn't answer, he reached out and took one, lifted it up, opened his mouth, and bit it down in blood.

Zhang Zhao hurriedly shouted: "This is still raw." "stepped forward and grabbed it, and the white-haired man snatched it, so he grabbed it.

Zhang Zhao snatched the wolf's leg away, watched the white-haired man slowly chew and swallow the raw meat in his mouth, shook his head and said, "Uncle, you wait." ”

He picked up a pile of dead branches with his hands and legs, and broke off a few thick branches beside him to make a support, took out the fire fold from his bosom, lit them a few times, took all four wolf legs, and laid them flat on the fire to roast.

The wolf's legs sizzle and smell like a smell. Zhang Zhao took out the salt noodles brought from his arms and sprinkled them evenly on the meat, and then kept turning and roasting the wolf's legs. The white-haired man silently watched him do all this, slowly walked over, and sat down by the fire.

After a while, Zhang Zhao handed over a wolf leg: "Uncle, you try." Be careful with scalding. The white-haired man took a big bite, and there was a grunt in his throat, and he couldn't stop eating a wolf's leg.

Zhang Zhao only cut off a few strips of meat and ate a few bites, and when he saw that the white-haired man's eating method was really terrible, he was stunned and said, "Uncle, you eat so fast." Only then did he realize that the black clothes on the white-haired man were armor with countless scratches on the surface, and he looked a little murderous.

The blue-eyed gray wolf has a body like a calf, and one leg weighs more than twenty pounds, and Zhang Zhao is full after eating a few pieces of meat. The white-haired man kept staring at the sky after eating.

There was a long howl in the distance, and the white-haired man picked up a round helmet from behind the tree, put it on his head, and rushed down to the front.

Before Zhang Zhao said hello, the white-haired man had gone without a trace, Zhang Zhao looked at the direction of his disappearance a little strangely, and always felt that the white-haired man seemed to have been waiting for something.

He lifted the wolf leg he had eaten and the two wolf legs that had not been roasted, tied them to a pine branch, and carried them behind him along with the wolf skin, when he heard a long howl in front of him.

Zhang Zhao looked around, and chased down in the direction where the white-haired man disappeared, although they had not known each other for a long time, but the other party easily killed a blue-eyed gray wolf, Zhang Zhao felt that this was definitely not something that ordinary people could do.

Seeing that something unusual must have happened in front of him, Zhang Zhao's young heart, of course, he had to take a look. He trotted down, and the trees around him grew taller and taller, and the distance between them became farther and farther away, and the ground grew more and more empty.

At this time, there was a long howl not far away, Zhang Zhao quickened his pace and ran in that direction, listening to the voice, although it was close, he walked for a long time and did not see a figure, and the towering giant trees around him were dozens of steps away from each other, and the empty was very different from the pine forest on the edge of Zhang Zhao's town.

Zhang Zhao walked to an open place, and was thinking about which direction to look for, when another long howl came from in front of him, but this time the whistling sound was continuous, coming from far and near.

As the sound approached, Zhang Zhao saw two figures in the distance, a black and a white, jumping up and down, the white shadow in front, the black shadow in the back, running and chasing between the giant trees staggered through, the white shadow flickered left and right to avoid it, and suddenly another black shadow came out of the oblique thorn, and the two black shadows formed a horn shape forcing the white shadow to run towards this side.

Zhang Zhao was thinking about whether to dodge, and when he was more than thirty steps away from him, the man in white suddenly stopped and said loudly: "Aoki City and Jiang have always been indisputable, I don't know why the two black-armored riders followed each other all the way?"

The two black shadows stood more than a dozen steps away from the white-clothed man, and a voice sounded, it was the white-haired man who had just met Zhang Zhao: "I'm waiting here, just asking the city lord of Jiang to leave the things on his back." ”

"Oh?" The white-clothed man had a long beard, it was the deputy city lord of Aoki City, he had always liked to collect rare materials, but he didn't expect these two black-armored people to come for this thing: "Although the blood-streaked meteorite iron is rare, it won't make the Nine Shadows Black Armor ride covetous." ”

The white-haired man also ignored the sarcasm in his words: "The blood-streaked meteorite is of some use to us, the black-armored rider has never done tricks and plunders, and the city lord of Jiang used five pieces of high-grade immortal crystals to buy this bloodstreaked meteorite, let's double it." ”

The Jiang City Lord didn't seem to expect this result: "Then why did you two force me here without saying a word?"

The white-haired man replied: "The black armor rider has never been ostentatious in the market, not to mention that if it is in the open place, the Jiang City Lord will inevitably have scruples about trading with my Nine Shadows. ”

The Jiang City Lord thought for a while: "But if this matter spreads, won't the world think that I, Aoki City, am afraid of you black armor riders?"

The white-haired man replied in a calm voice: "City Lord Jiang, this is not something to be afraid of, the black armor rider really needs this meteoric iron. Moreover, the city lord of Jiang just bought this thing by chance, and doubled it to me and others, so that everyone can get their place. ”

The Jiang City Lord shook his head: "Although the words are good, but with the two of you, you want to force me to sell this meteorite?"

Before the voice fell, Zhang Zhao's eyes flickered, and a black-armored man walked slowly on the side, and the three of them finished the glyph, surrounding the Jiang City Lord in the middle.

The black armor man who appeared at the end spoke in a rough voice: "The Jiang City Lord is proficient in the Wanmu Ivy Spring Exercises, and his cultivation has already broken through the Yin and Yang Realm, and the technique of blowing willows with the wind is even more unique, and he is also a master in the entire Xuanmu Domain, how can we black-armored riders underestimate the City Lord." ”

The city lord of Jiang smiled bitterly: "How can Jiang Mou be virtuous, he actually worked three black-armored horsemen." At this time, he realized that these three black-armored people initially formed a circle with the sound of whistling, but they stood and said these words for a while, and the black-armored rider who was outflanked from the side was only a moment late, if he didn't stop and walked forward for a while, he would inevitably be surrounded by the three.

Although the three black-armored people surrounded the Jiang City Lord, they did not step forward to make a move, and the white-haired man Zhang Zhao met still persuaded in a gentle voice: "We are bound to get the Blood Pattern Meteorite, and the Jiang City Lord is also an understanding person, the three of us didn't even bring weapons to show our sincerity, and I hope that the Jiang City Lord will be successful." ”

City Lord Jiang nodded: "At this moment, if I don't agree again, I don't know what to do, but I always feel a little wronged by such a deal." ”

As soon as these words came out, the three black-armored horsemen all fell silent, and then the white-haired man who was still an acquaintance of Zhang Zhao said: "Then please ask the Jiang City Lord to draw the next line, and I will take it alone." ”

The Jiang City Lord smiled: "What a spirit." After speaking, he threw the burden that had been on his back in front of his feet, and with a "Teng" sound, the things in the bag were obviously not light.

"As long as you can take up this baggage, I promise you. ”

The burden in Jiang Cheng's hand fell to the ground, and then he felt that the two black-armored people in the side and back had taken a few steps back, and his body suddenly relaxed, and the pressure of the triangle had been relieved.

I didn't see any movement from the Jiang City Lord, the burden under his feet moved forward flatly, and clusters of green blades of grass that suddenly emerged from the ground slowly moved forward like waves supporting the heavy burden, and only stopped when it was equal to the distance between him and the white-haired man.

Whether it was the retreat of the two black-armored people, or the Jiang City Lord putting the burden in the middle of the two, they were all showing each other that this was a fair showdown.

The white-haired man looked at the Jiang City Lord and nodded, the Jiang City Lord bowed in return, and then the white-haired man took a step forward and walked towards the burden placed between the two.

There was only a dozen steps between the two, and he was tall and big, and he could walk in front of the burden in four or five steps, but as soon as the white-haired man took a step, his two feet couldn't move.

Countless green vines sprang up from around him, each with new branches and leaves growing at the tip, and the soft tendrils spread like silk threads on the ground, wrapping the white-haired man's feet tightly.

The place where the Lord of Jiang Cheng stood was a glade with some weeds, but at this moment, it was like a sunny hillside in the new spring, covered with a new green. And it's rapidly expanding at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

Zhang Zhao, who was dozens of steps away, reflected the green light emitted by a strange scene in front of him in his eyes, as if he was in a fantasy world. Although he had glanced at the Jiang City Lord from a distance in Aoki City, he also vaguely knew that it was not his fault in this matter in front of him. But when he saw that the white-haired man's legs had been tightly wrapped around dense green vine branches, he was still worried about the uncle who had just saved him.

The white-haired man was now like a half-human, half-tree forest spirit, and his entire lower body was tightly wrapped. The purpose of the Jiang City Lord was just to stop him from moving forward, and the two of them had no intention of fighting to the death, and the vines that wrapped around the white-haired man's legs stopped going up when they reached his waist.

Looking at all this caused by the Jiang City Lord, the white-haired man did not show any panic because he was in a predicament, but looked at the vibrant green on his body and on the ground with an appreciative eye, as if he saw something he had longed for for a long time.

Jiang City Lord's heart was also a little shaken, these vines on the ground were all born of his spell, and he could feel the information from each branch, of course it was not the first time he had used this spell, in the past, after those whiskers entangled the opponent's body, he could even feel the opponent's heartbeat and body temperature from above.

Although there were many vine branches wrapped around the white-haired man, none of them could touch his body, and the thick black armor cut off everything, and the city lord Jiang felt that the vines he sent out were entangled in a cold metal humanoid statue.

The white-haired man sighed with some regret at this time, and then he gathered his whole body and began to move again.

The sound of "taut and taut" rattan breaking sounded one after another. Although the white-haired man could not be seen walking, the sounds showed that he was indeed moving slowly forward.

One by one, the vines were broken, and immediately more new ones came out and entwined with them. The Jiang City Lord's body exuded a turquoise luster, and on the green space centered on him, all the plants were growing wildly, twisting together in various ways, and then wrapping around the white-haired man's body as if he had life.

As the white-haired man advanced, those rope-like or net-like green branches broke out one by one on his body, and the originally dull black armor gradually glowed under the friction and scraping of countless branches and leaves, and it seemed that the white-haired man who walked resolutely in this green was as unstoppable as the god of war.

The Jiang City Lord, who was originally dressed in white, but now even his beard and hair were reflected in green, slowly raised his hands and stretched them to his sides. From behind you to forward, slowly draw a circle.

With his gesture, a dull voice sounded out of thin air in the woods, as if some great sleeping force had been awakened. Then a faint green light appeared on each giant tree, flowing in the direction of the Jiang City Lord.

Zhang Zhao leaned on a giant tree and looked at it vigorously, and the sudden appearance of green light startled him, and he immediately touched it with his hand curiously, feeling that his hand was cool, like a stream flowing through his fingers. There's nothing earth-shattering about it.

By this time, the white-haired man had already walked to the baggage. The black armor on his body was stained with green juice, and before leaning down to pick up the burden, he heard the sound coming from the woods, and the white-haired man raised his eyes to look at the Jiang City Lord, and stretched out his hand without hesitation.

The city lord of Jiang did not inhale the green light surging around him into his body, and with the wave of his hands, the green light was like a rope, tied to the burden one by one, and countless green lights were intertwined. A large network of light has been formed.

The fingers of the white-haired man's left hand were hooked with the baggage, and he didn't move. Again, it still doesn't move at all. He squatted down slightly and held the burden with both hands, and lifted it up with a force, but the burden was still firmly attached to the ground as if it had taken root.

The city lord of Jiang, who was covered in green light, descended like a wood god, and his voice came leisurely. "This spell is called Ten Thousand Trees with the Same Root. Even if you have the power to reach the heavens, can you still uproot the trees in this entire forest?"

The white-haired man looked up at the Jiang City Lord: "I see, the Jiang City Lord's technique of making ten thousand trees with the same root is almost invincible in this giant forest, and it is really a good calculation." ”

The three of them forced the Jiang City Lord into the woods all the way, just to hide people's eyes, the Jiang City Lord seemed to be chased all the way through, but he also specially chose this place full of giant trees, so that he could give full play to his own exercises.

The giant trees in this forest are all several feet deep, and it takes some effort to pull up one of them, and seeing that there are hundreds of green lights wrapped around this burden, the white-haired man certainly can't lift them.

The city lord of Jiang saw that the victory was in his hands, but there was no smug look on his face. "I didn't know what the purpose of the people was, Jiang chose this place, but he really didn't mean to calculate. Let's say something first, Jiang can only say sorry. ”

The white-haired man didn't let go of his left hand hooked on the burden, but grabbed it tighter: "Maybe this sentence of sorry Jiang City Lord doesn't need to be said?"

At this time, the aura of Jiang City's whole body was connected to the surrounding giant trees, and he firmly tied the burden, and he couldn't think of any way for this white-haired man to pick it up.

The white-haired man kept his squatting posture unchanged, and suddenly let out a low roar from his mouth, and the broken vine branches around him were excited out by the strength of his body, and as the momentum on his body became more and more skyrocketing, a whirlpool of air flow appeared around his body, and the speed became faster and faster.

At this time, the white-haired figure moved and made a motion to get up. Seeing this, the Jiang City Lord did not dare to relax in the slightest, and wholeheartedly controlled the Wanmu Tonggen Technique to suppress the burden downward.

Who knew that the white-haired man's empty right hand was raised high, but it was against the edge of the burden and punched hard, and it slammed firmly on the ground.

There was a muffled sound of "collapse". Under the infusion of the white-haired man's full body strength, this right fist was like a shocking hammer and pressed deep into the ground. A powerful force was transmitted along the ground.

Zhang Zhao was dozens of steps away from them, only to feel that the ground shook, and his whole body jumped up involuntarily. It was immediately after that I heard the muffled sound in my ears, which rumbled like a burst of thunder.

The place where the burden was was suddenly collapsed, and cracks in the ground began to spread from the white-haired man's fist deep in the earth, like a huge spider web, and in the middle was a pit of a few feet in diameter.

The Jiang City Lord thought that he was going to lift it up with all his strength, but under the white-haired man's punch, the Jiang City Lord only felt that the Wanmu Tonggen technique that he had suppressed with all his strength was suddenly empty, and there was no focus point.

Naturally, the Jiang City Lord controlled the Dao Dao Green Light to retract the downward pressure. At this time, the gravity of Qianjun hit by the white-haired man was bounced upwards from the ground. The two forces were one, and the white-haired man lifted his left hand, and the burden rose from the ground.

The green light gathered around the Jiang City Lord quickly dissipated, and the green light emitted from the surrounding giant trees slowly retracted.

The Jiang City Lord sighed lightly: "Sure enough, there is no need to say sorry anymore, Your Excellency's skill of shaking off the ground is really ingenious." Jiang was convinced. ”

The white-haired man's punch may seem simple, but it reflects incomparable strength and experience. Even if the two of them let go of the fight, the Jiang City Lord did not have the confidence to win.

"You and I attack and defend, and the defending side naturally has to be passive. What's more, the lord of Jiangcheng is kind-hearted, and those vine branches are only wrapped around me, otherwise I won't be able to get it easily. The white-haired man calmly analyzed. "I still have to thank the Jiang City Lord for making it complete. ”

Jiang City Lord did not kill him, and he felt a lot more comfortable in these words, "Admitting gambling and losing, Jiang will leave." ”

"Jiang City Lord stayed. After speaking, the white-haired man reached into his arms and took out a silk sac, approached and handed it over. "You and I trade fairly, ten high-grade immortal crystals, please accept it from the city lord. ”

There was no need for the city lord Jiang to give in for a few immortal crystals, so he stretched out his hand and laughed at himself: "I didn't expect Jiang to make a small profit." ”

At this time, the two of them were closer, and the city lord of Jiang could see clearly the black armor on the white-haired man, he looked intently, and saw that the black armor was faintly revealing some blood-colored textures. He looked at the burden in the white-haired man's hand with some abrupt eyes.

"It turns out that you asked for the bloodstreaked meteorite iron for this black armor. After the Jiang City Lord said this, he asked casually: "This meteorite is extremely difficult to form, how can you make armor?"

The Jiang City Lord is extremely familiar with these strange materials, although the blood pattern meteorite iron is rare, the sword is soft and bladeless, and it is extremely insoluble, and it solidifies immediately after leaving the flames, and has long been determined as useless materials by the five master craftsmen. He was just collecting, not using the meteoric iron artifact.

He thought back to the feeling of those vines coming back when he had just started with the white-haired man, and he felt more and more strange. The black armor on the white-haired man did not feel any loosening under the heavy entanglement of the branches, which was completely different from the armor worn on the body.

The Jiang City Lord has a wide range of knowledge and cultivation, and he also has some understanding of many secret methods, he combined the characteristics of the blood-streaked meteorite with the feelings brought to him by the white-haired man, and asked in shock:

"Is it the method of blood refining?"
