Chapter 31: Who Dare to Pick
In the Forest of Blood Moon Lake, on a towering ancient tree, Qin Zheng and Qi Zhong were sitting on a thick branch, the two of them were sweating profusely and gasping for breath.
"I don't think it's good to follow you. Qi Zhong looked at Qin Zheng, panting as he spoke, "It's only been a long time since you entered the Heaven-Shattering Gate, not only Ye Xiangtian wants to kill you, Chen Ping wants to kill you, and now even the old disciples in the sect want to kill you, how much trouble have you caused! Among the new disciples, you are the most shining!"
Qin Zheng smiled bitterly a few times, and instead of answering Qi Zhong's words, he said, "Now that Chen Monkey has been thrown away by us, let's take turns to recover our strength first, and you will help me guard it first." β
After chasing Chen Monkey just now, Qin Zheng's vigilance against Qi Zhong was gone, after all, as long as Qi Zhong was not involved at that time, there was no need for him to run away with him.
After a while, they adjusted their breath and basically regained their strength.
"What kind of hatred do you have with Chen Ping?" Qi Zhong watched and listened in all directions, afraid that Chen Monkey would find them.
"I have no enmity with him, but Lei Zhen has a grudge against me, and it should be Lei Zhen who instructed him to kill me. β
Qin Zheng thought about it for a while, and then told him about the thunderclouds.
"This thundercloud is really arrogant, damn it!" Qi Zhong scolded indignantly after hearing this, "But he has such a strong brother, how do you deal with this?"
"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. After Qin Zheng finished speaking, he stood on the branch, looked around, frowned slightly, and said, "Now we still have to think about what to do, and it's not a way to stay here all the time." β
"Otherwise, we will return to the Heaven-shattering Gate, and the mission will not be done. Qi Zhong pondered and spoke.
Qin Zheng shook his head and said, "I can't go back now, maybe Chen Monkey is waiting for us outside the forest to throw ourselves into the net." β
"Then we are in a dilemma, we can only wait for death here?" Qi Zhong looked at Qin Zheng, his eyes were firm, and he said in a deep voice, "It's better for us to kill him directly, the two of us join forces to deal with him, it may not be impossible to win, besides, his body is not comparable to us, and we can still run if we can't beat us." β
"Do you think we can run a second time?" Qin Zheng felt that Qi Zhong's idea was too naΓ―ve, and analyzed, "Just now we were able to run, it was Chen Monkey's carelessness, thinking that we would not be able to escape no matter what, and now that we meet him again, we will probably be killed by him before we can use our skills." β
"Hey, what is that?" Qin Zheng looked into the distance and found that a white fog was gradually rising in the distance, and under the white fog was a bloody color.
Qi Zhong hurriedly stood up and looked in that direction, a trace of joy appeared on his face, and shouted, "Blood Moon Lake!"
"Let's go and see. After Qin Zheng finished speaking, he immediately cast a small Ling Bo step and jumped between the ancient trees.
"This guy! Such a vision, Chen Monkey must have found it, and he didn't want to think about it. Qi Zhong was helpless in his heart, and after thinking twice, he quickly followed Qin Zheng.
A moment later, the two of them arrived at the Blood Moon Lake.
I saw a huge lake, surrounded by ancient trees.
A bright moon shone on the lake, and the color was blood red.
The lake was boiling constantly, and countless steam rose up, turning into a white mist, which dispersed in all directions, and finally dissipated throughout the forest.
"I see!"
Qin Zheng stood next to the Blood Moon Lake, and immediately understood why the leaves all over the ground would wither and turn black when he first entered the forest, all caused by this white mist.
Seeing Qi Zhong and wanting to get close to the Blood Moon Lake, Qin Zheng hurriedly stopped it and said, "There is something wrong with this lake. β
Qin Zheng picked up a gravel from the ground and shot it out with all his might, only to see that the gravel melted directly into the white mist without a trace.
"This white mist is so terrifying. Qi Zhong was frightened, if his body touched the white mist, it was estimated that there would not even be any scum left, "No wonder there is not a single spirit beast in this forest." β
"I don't know if the nine-leaf clover is in the lake, but if it is in the lake, how to pick it. β
Looking at the Blood Moon Lake, Qin Zheng had nothing to do for a while, and he didn't know how to pick the Nine-Leaf Heart Grass.
At this time, there was a sudden rustle of leaves.
Someone!
Qin Zheng and Qi Zhong were stunned in their hearts, and quickly disappeared into the shadows, hiding behind the trunks of the ancient trees, holding their breath.
I saw the three of them swishing down and standing next to the Blood Moon Lake.
The three of them were dressed in white robes, and a domineering Xuanwu was embroidered on their backs.
Seeing the costumes of the three of them clearly, Qin Zheng's pupils contracted suddenly, and he secretly said in his heart, "Xuanwu Sect!"
Qin Zheng was too familiar with the Xuanwu Sect, and Mu Bai was wearing this kind of white robe that day, and in front of him, he took Qin Xue away.
"Is the Xuanwu Sect also here to pick the Nine-Leaf Heart Grass! We must not let them succeed!" Qin Zheng's eyes stared at the three of them, his fists clenched tightly, because of Mu Bai, Qin Zheng did not have a good impression of the entire Xuanwu Sect now.
"Two junior brothers, this lake is the Blood Moon Lake. The three of them stood for a moment, and a middle-aged man with a mustache was the first to speak.
"Senior Brother Lin, could it be that the Nine-Leaf Heart Grass is in this lake?" the slender man asked, his voice slender.
"Senior Brother Wang, you guessed right. The bearded man nodded and said.
The other person was a strong man, with a scar on his face that was extremely conspicuous, he walked back and forth around the Blood Moon Lake to observe, shook his head and said, "This white mist is extremely corrosive, even if we use our aura to protect our bodies, as soon as we enter the lake, we will turn into a stream of bones and water after a moment." β
After hearing this, the eight-bearded man smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zhou, don't worry, let's wait for this Blood Moon Lake vision to recede, and we can easily pick the Nine-Leaf Heart Grass." β
"But when will it take, what if someone comes to fight?" The Scar Man looked impatient and said impatiently, "The Great Elder is waiting for this Nine-Leaf Heart Grass to refine the elixir, if we miss this time, we will definitely be punished when we go back." β
The bearded man was calm, his eyes flashed cold, and he said lightly, "If someone comes, kill it!"
Senior Brother Wang on the side nodded in agreement, telling the scar man to calm down and wait for the vision to recede.
Qin Zheng and Qi Zhong heard the conversation between the three of them clearly.
Qi Zhong looked at Qin Zheng with an anxious face, and said, "The strength of the three of them is not ordinary, and the two of us together will definitely not be able to defeat them." According to the original plan, if we can't beat it, we will give up the mission?"
Seeing that the duck in his hand was about to fly away, Qi Zhong was also unwilling, but after all, his strength was under people, which made him in a dilemma.
Qin Zheng's face was as calm as water, and he replied, "Let me think about it." β
If the masters of other sects come, Qin Zheng is estimated to execute according to the plan, after all, looking at the breath, the strength of the three of them is above him, competing for the nine-leaf heart grass, the odds of winning are extremely low.
It's no wonder that they are from the Xuanwu Sect, and it is too cheap for them to get the Nine-Leaf Heart Grass so easily.
Time passed slowly, and the sound of boiling water in the Blood Moon Lake gradually became smaller, and the white fog on the lake became lighter and lighter.
The Blood Moon Lake slowly shrank, and the boiling water gradually poured into the ground, and from a distance, a huge crater was slowly emerging.
The three Xuanwu Sect members on the side were full of anticipation, waiting for the lake to disappear completely, and then picking the nine-leaf heart grass.
Suddenly, a clear voice rang out.
"Who dares to pick something earth-shattering!"
Qi Zhong was horrified to see Qin Zheng with his hands behind his back and walked out slowly.
If it weren't for Qin Zheng's hands behind his back frantically signaling to him, Qi Zhong would have run away a long time ago.
