It's amazing that a small gang has such a dangerous and magical place in it.

There is a low wall made of bamboo on the outside of the wooden house, which blocks most of the view inside, and if you want to make sure that there are any mythical beasts inside, you have to go around and have a look.

Walking gently to the gate of the courtyard, I saw a towering tree at the door, and a small bamboo nest hung from it.

Compared to the big tree, the bamboo nest was not obvious, and it was not until he got closer that Xiao Zhan discovered its existence.

If you look closely, there is a white animal lying in the nest, and because of the poor light, you can only vaguely see the general outline, which seems to be a kitten and a fox.

Xiao Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly, this little beast shouldn't be a legendary divine beast, right?

Uncertain in his heart, his vigilance increased, and his steps became more and more slow.

It's just that in the next breath, there was a loud shout.

"Who dares to trespass on the Holy Land?"

Xiao Zhan was startled, and hurriedly dodged and hid behind a tree.

But as soon as he hid behind the tree, he felt a residual image flash in front of him, and he wanted to make a move to resist, but his arm had already been cut a few times.

He was shocked in his heart, this speed, even he didn't see half a minute clearly.

Shocked, he immediately flew in the direction of the shouting sound, wanting to seek her refuge, but halfway, he felt a pain in his back, and the blood immediately stained his clothes.

At this time, Xiao Zhan was really panicked, and before he could see where the enemy was, he was already seriously injured.

Enduring the severe pain on his body, he finally landed in front of the woman at the door, held his body without falling, gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Zhan came to visit Miss Ling." ”

As soon as the words fell, there were several sharp claw marks on the shoulder, piercing the flesh and penetrating deep into the bones.

Xiao Zhan couldn't bear it anymore, and the whole person half-knelt down.

At the same time, a clear voice sounded inside: "Retreat!" ”

Immediately after, Xin Ling came out of the wooden house, frowned the moment he saw Xiao Zhan, and said coldly: "It's you?" ”

Xiao Zhan was covered in cold sweat at the moment, his face was pale with pain, he gritted his teeth and insisted on wanting to speak for a long time, but he fainted before he could speak.

Hua Fei waited in the cave all night, without waiting for Xiao Zhan to come back, feeling uneasy.

It wasn't until the second half of the night that she finally couldn't take it anymore and went down the steps and into the tunnel.

As soon as I reached the platform in front of me, I vaguely saw a figure on the other side of the suspension bridge.

The two maids beside Xin Ling came down from the suspension bridge one after the other, carrying a stretcher in the middle.

Hua Fei didn't care about being discovered, and immediately greeted her.

"Two sisters, have you seen my husband?"

The two maids glanced at her lightly, put the stretcher in their hands on the ground, and motioned for her to look at it for herself.

Hua Fei then bypassed the maid and looked behind, Xiao Zhan was lying on the stretcher with his eyes closed, his face was pale, and his lips were not bloody.

Hua Fei opened her mouth wide in fright, and immediately pounced, shaking his arm.

"Zhan Zhan, Zhan Zhan, what's wrong with you? Wake up! ”

As he shouted, tears unconsciously gushed out.

She could clearly see the wounds on Xiao Zhan's body that were bandaged with a white cloth, Rao had already been medicated, and the white cloth was still soaked with bright red blood.

She regretted it very much in her heart, she shouldn't have mentioned the matter of the divine beast in front of him, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't want to go to Xin Ling's residence to investigate, and he wouldn't have gone in and out horizontally.

After shaking for a long time, Xiao Zhan didn't react at all, and Hua Fei raised her head to look at the two maids with teary eyes.

"Two sisters, what happened? Why was my husband so badly injured? ”

The two maids were cold on their faces, but there was still a trace of unbearability hidden between their eyebrows, and said, "Someone should have told you that our young lady's residence is not something you can go to if you want to, but you don't listen." ”

After a pause, he said: "He can come out because of his fate, our young lady has already treated his wounds, whether he can survive depends on his creation." ”

Hearing this, Hua Fei's whole person collapsed on the ground.

This time Xiao Zhan's injury was much more serious than last time, Hua Fei stayed in the cave for two days and two nights, and he didn't wake up.

During this period, Xin Ling came twice, except for the first time to personally help him change the medicine, he only threw a few packets of medicinal powder to Hua Fei and asked her to help him change it herself.

At the same time, he warned her not to be delusional, if there was a next time, she would definitely die and not save her.

Hua Fei was in a trance, nodding again and again, how dare she be delusional, now she only hopes that Xiao Zhan can wake up, the two of them stay in the Crouching Tiger Gang, and wait for Qingnan to come to ransom people with silver.

At the foot of the mountain at this moment, Qingnan and the others finally arrived.

Looking up at the few big characters carved on the wooden plaque on it, Qingnan tilted his head and asked, "Are you sure that the island we saw over there is from here?" ”

The little attendant beside Huang Qiu nodded: "Judging from the direction and distance, it's right here, it's just ......"

He didn't finish his words later, but everyone knew what he meant.

As early as when they first arrived here, they looked at the three big words "Crouching Tiger Gang" above their heads, and they were worried.

The Crouching Tiger Gang has a reputation in this area, and the imperial court sent troops to suppress it several times without success, but it also lost a lot of troops.

Rao is a native of Qingnan in the capital, and he has also heard of this hard stubble.

While everyone was thinking, Fu Dong pointed to a notice board next to him and said, "Look, there are things posted here, I know these two words, flowers...... Fly ......"

Zhang Tao immediately stepped up, looked at it carefully, and then showed surprise in his eyes.

"That's right, their Crouching Tiger Gang posted a notice, saying that there are two people named Xiao Zhan and Hua Fei here, let us take ......"

There was an abrupt pause at this point.

Fu Dong hurriedly asked, "What to take?" And who is Xiao Zhan? ”

Zhang Tao pointed to the amount that had been crossed over and over again and said: "This amount has been revised several times, it was originally eight thousand taels of silver, then it became eight thousand eight hundred taels, and now it has become ten thousand and one hundred taels." And he said that we should take the money and ransom them for a month, and if the time was not up, we would chop them up and feed them to the dogs. ”

Fu Dong looked at him questioningly: "You're not mistaken, right? How can you ask for so much silver? And we'll just redeem Miss alone, what's that little Zhan about us? ”

Qingnan coughed lightly and said, "Didn't you notice that I was here?" ”

Fu Dong glanced at him: "Of course I saw you as such an adult, but what does this have to do with what we just said?" ”

Li Kangcheng looked at Qingnan with his eyebrows, he knew Qingnan's number one, he was Princess Yunqing's right-hand man at the beginning, and later followed Xiao Xiao's grandfather to the capital, never leaving.

After thinking for a moment, it dawned on him, "You mean, that ghost face...... Is it Grandpa Xiao? ”

He didn't say all the four words of the Ghost Face Demon Temple, this name is too sensitive, if it is heard by others, I don't know how much trouble it will cause.
