At night, the sky is full of stars, and the huge moon hangs in the sky, although it is night, it does not affect the bustle of Qingshui Town at night.

In a manor, a group of iron-blooded mercenaries sat around a table.

At this time, Cui Zheng sat on the main seat with a fierce face, and the rest of his subordinates were next to him.

"Big brother, it's been two days, why hasn't Brother Hou come back yet, is something wrong?" asked Wang Feng, the second-in-command under Cui Zheng.

"Yes, with Brother Hou's strength, it should be easy to deal with that kid, it won't take two days and so long, besides, according to Brother Hou's style, if the task is completed, he will have come to report the good news a long time ago." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Brother Hou may have just met some friends halfway, the two of them had a drink, and they should be on the way back now. ”

"What? You can think of such a thing as meeting a friend halfway, what kind of friends does Brother Hou have that we don't know? ”

"Big brother, do you want me to go find Brother Hou, in case something goes wrong, we can help him." ”

"I'll also go to find it, we are brothers from birth to death, if Brother Hou encounters something, I can't stand idly by. ”

Everyone in the iron-blooded mercenary group was discussing with envy, and they were looking at the matter of Guan Zhen waiting for the mission, because it was too simple to deal with a martial artist Triple Heaven kid. For the people of the Iron and Blood Mercenary Group, it can be easily solved by any person.

But the good thing fell on Guan Zhenhou's head, and everyone had no objections, but in the past two days, he didn't have the slightest news, they didn't think that Guan Zhenhou would miss, maybe they just encountered some difficulties, and they couldn't rush back for a while.

Guan Zhenhou is the equivalent of a think tank in the iron-blooded mercenary group, he acts carefully, basically he is not 100% sure that he will not make a move easily, in terms of strength, he is also a good hand in the regiment, and he has won the trust of the regiment leader.

Cui Zheng sat in the position, he listened to everyone's analysis, and a trace of essence flashed in his eyes from time to time, he actually had a decision in his heart, but he just wanted to see what other people thought.

Seeing Cui Zheng's fingers knock on the table, everyone stopped talking and looked at Cui Zheng with a pair of eyes, wanting to hear what the head of the regiment thought.

"Brother Hou is not a reckless person, he does things in a measured manner, I have also sent people to search for his traces in the town in the past few days, and there is no result, it seems that the completion of the task is still unknown, in this way, Chen Da, Chen Er, you two go to Gujia Village to see how the kid is doing, Wang Feng, you go to the nearby village to look for it, and ask the people in the village if they have seen Brother Hou. Cui Zheng thought about it and got a plan, he thought that doing this, first, would ensure whether Guan Zhenhou's life was still alive, and second, he would be able to check whether the task was completed.

Cui Zheng broke through to the middle of the Martial Artist Sixth Heaven that night after he got the Blood Spirit Fruit, and he still relied on Gu Chen this time to bring him a bigger reward, if this was the case, maybe he would be able to break through to the Martial Seventh Heaven again soon. You must know that Chen Qiang, the old master of the Chen family, the strongest person in Qingshui Town, has a martial artist Nine Heavens. If he has the strength of the Warrior Seven Heavens, he will be able to form his own forces and carry forward the Iron Blood Mercenary Regiment.

Although Cui Zheng is greedy, he knows what he can't do, what he can do, and he can't deal with a child in a small village, isn't it still easy to catch him? Before that, he thought about Gu Chen's backstage, but he heard Gu Laixi say that his father went out that day and was not at home, but this does not mean that Cui Zheng is afraid of Gu Huaqing, he is also a martial artist Liuzhong Heaven now, and it is not certain who lives and who dies when he really fights.

"Okay big brother, I'll go now. Chen Da said.

"Big brother, I'll come back as soon as I have news. Chen Er said.

"Remember, be careful, don't be exposed, try not to be exposed. Wang Feng said with a serious face, he felt that this matter was not so simple.

"Hmm!" they agreed in unison, and then left the house and disappeared into the night.

"Big brother, I'm off too. "Wang Feng has been stained with Cui Zheng's light, and he has recently broken through to the martial artist Five Heavens, and Cui Zheng has 100 hearts for his strength.

Cui Zheng nodded, and Wang Feng also left here like Chen Da and the others.

-----------------------------

"Ahem!ahem!" Gu Chen was choked by the water, he coughed twice, and spit out the water in his mouth. He woke up and looked around, and found that he was on the bank, and in front of him was a river, and he didn't know where it was going.

"Where is this?hell?" Gu Chen recalled that he was chased by the blood python, and then he took a bite and was hit by the paralyzing toxin, and then came to the edge of the cliff and jumped down.

Gu Chen immediately felt something strange in his body, and the severe pain in his waist made him understand that this was not hell, he should have been lucky enough to fall into the river and not fall to his death.

"Whew!" Gu Chen spat out a turbid breath, it seems that God doesn't want to accept him yet, for that blood python, he really can't mention the psychology of wanting revenge, it is too difficult, Gu Chen plans to see it all around in the future.

"How long have I been in a coma?" Gu Chen felt that his stomach was very hungry, and the paralyzing toxin on his body had also passed the poisonous effect, he took out the Tongmai grass from his abdomen that he had picked with his life, and after seeing that it was still intact, Gu Chen crushed it and swallowed it in one gulp.

The entrance of the Tongmai Grass was very bitter and difficult to swallow, and Gu Chen had no choice but to forcibly swallow it by holding saliva in the river. Although the Tongmai Grass was bitter, its spiritual effect was very powerful, Gu Chen felt a huge aura gushing out of his abdomen, and he immediately sat cross-legged, using his qi to refine the aura in his body.

Gu Chen used his strength to rotate constantly, driving the aura to merge into the bones and flesh, constantly refining, and slowly, Gu Chen clearly felt that his strength was constantly getting stronger, 500 catties, 580 catties, and finally 620 catties!

Only to hear a boom, Gu Chen's physical body seemed to have entered another realm, breaking through to the early stage of the Martial Artist Four Heavens! At this time, the spiritual energy in his body was also refined. Gu Chen stood up, feeling the pleasure brought by the increase in strength, he excitedly played a set of basic boxing techniques, he found that after reaching the Martial Artist Four Heavens, there was a different feeling, and he was more comfortable with the use of qi.

After taking the Tongmai Grass, the hunger in Gu Chen's body suddenly subsided by half, his current purpose was to find a way out of here, he didn't know how long it had been, he had to return to Gujia Village immediately, he didn't want to miss the trial quota of the Sword Xuanzong.

Gu Chen walked forward in the direction of the river's flow, like a headless fly, he could only hit his luck like this.

Gu Chen ran quickly, he couldn't waste any more time, if he continued to stay in this kind of place, although he was not afraid of not having water to drink, he would definitely starve to death. Because there are stones here except for the river.

Gu Chen didn't know how long he had been running, and when he was tired of running, he rested for a while, and then continued to run.

"My father and mother must be very worried when they see that I haven't been back for so long. Gu Chen thought of his father and mother, he was their only son, and they must have been very anxious when they saw that they hadn't returned home yet.

At this moment, the unusual scene in front interrupted Gu Chen's thoughts, and he saw a vast grass-like place appear in front of him.

"This, I won't be dazzled, right?" Gu Chen looked at the scene in front of him with a shocked expression, only to see a large area of quenching grass growing on the land in front of him, like a meadow, densely packed.

Gu Chen rubbed his eyes vigorously, he couldn't believe that there was a large piece of quenching grass that he usually needed to buy at a high price.

Gu Chen stepped forward, picked one and observed it carefully, and found that it was no different from what the book said, he put it in his mouth and chewed it and swallowed it in doubt.

"It's true!I'm rich hahaha, I'm rich!" A stream of spiritual energy rushed straight to the flesh and blood, and Gu Chen refined it with a little exertion, and his strength increased a little.

Gu Chen, who picked up the treasure, was so excited that he danced, a quenching grass in the world was worth 10 silver coins, although ordinary families could afford it at all, they couldn't swallow it as often as Gu Qing did. But Gu Chen had no less than a hundred quenching grasses in front of him, and he was almost crazy with joy.

Gu Chen planted his head in the quenching grass, feeling the fragrance of the quenching grass, he squinted his eyes and enjoyed this moment. At this time, he didn't know whether to thank the blood python or hate it, although he fell into this place where birds don't, but he was able to encounter so many quenching grasses, I have to say, if you don't die, there will be a blessing.

Gu Chen picked a few plants and threw them in his mouth, then rolled them twice, and picked two more strains for refining, he rolled around happily, picking two strains from time to time for refining.

In this way, Gu Chen's strength was improved in the rolling, and when he saw that his strength had reached a critical point, Gu Chen immediately picked more than two dozen plants and crushed them into a ball and ate them.

A stream of spiritual qi belonging to the quenching grass swirled through his body, constantly refining Gu Chen's body, and after a while, he broke through to the middle stage of the Martial Artist Four Heavens, and he now had a strength of 650 catties.

This kind of rocket-like promotion speed made Gu Chen intoxicated, you know, he had just broken through to the Martial Artist Four Heavens, and now he was about to reach the middle stage, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh that this trip to the back mountain was really worth it.

Gu Chen broke through a small realm and used dozens of quenching grasses, but this "grass" seemed to be no less. So Gu Chen continued to swallow and refine.

Time passed minute by minute, and just when Gu Chen swallowed the one hundred and seventy-second strain, he broke through to the late stage of the Martial Artist Four Heavens, with a strength of 680 catties.

Gu Chen counted the remaining quenching grasses and found that there were more than two hundred, but these amounts did not allow him to continue to break through, so he decided to bring them back, some to sell, and some to Erdan and Gu Wutong.

However, there was a problem in front of Gu Chen, he didn't have such a big bag to hold so many quenching grass, I saw that he had a clever plan, he remembered that when he was young, his mother taught him to weave a grass basket, so he used the quenching grass to weave a "quenching grass basket", and then loaded the quenching grass on it, and carried it back with him.

Gu Chen looked at his "masterpiece" and nodded with satisfaction, but the surprise didn't stop there, he found that the cliff next to the quenching grass actually had a vine that led directly to it.

Gu Chen seemed to feel like a child of God's favor, he was really sleepy and came to send a pillow, he walked over and grabbed the vine and pulled it down, it was indeed stable, and then he climbed up along the vine.
