"Knock knock..."

After the people outside the door knocked a few times and found that no one responded, they continued to knock a few times, Chen Ning hid behind the side of the door, still silent, when he listened to the footsteps just now, he found that there were a large number of people coming, at least four or five people, naturally it could not be a panther or a shopkeeper, and he offended the young supervisor Jie, one of the six major families in Tianyong City, who didn't know whether the person who came was friend or foe, how could he dare to respond easily.

But after a few minutes, Chen Ning felt that something was wrong, if it was someone sent by Guan Jie, with the other party's power, he would have to wait so long, even if he knocked on the door, he was only sure if there was anything inside, and after so long, he should have broken into the door, it seemed that he was too nervous, so he said to the outer door; "Who?"

Soon, Chen Ning's answer from the outsider made Chen Ning breathe a long sigh of relief, only to see the people outside: "Is it Brother Chen Ning?" We are the captain of the Black Panther who asked us to come over and call you, looking for something to do with you." ”

Hearing what was said outside, Chen Ning quickly opened the door, and sure enough, there were five men standing outside the door, two of whom Chen Ning still knew, and it was the mercenary who had drunk in the restaurant that day, so he smiled and said; Big Brother Black Panther is looking for me, I just got up and overslept. ”

Several mercenaries also smiled, and they didn't blame Chen Ning.

Came to the black panther's room, at this moment the black panther was washing his face, saw Chen Ning coming, wiped the towel, and beckoned Chen Ning to come over and said, "Brother Chen Ning, come and have some breakfast together, we will leave for the Demon Beast Mountain Range later, recently the brothers discussed their plan to go to the Demon Beast Forest to hunt some demon beasts to maintain their lives and cultivation." ”

It turns out that in the past few days in Tianyun City, the mercenaries have spent a lot of money on each other, for mercenaries like them who live at the bottom, having money is nothing more than eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and then there are the Xuanshi needed for cultivation, most of them are the kind that have no worries, and one person eats enough for the whole family and is not hungry, so the money earned is naturally spent quickly.

But Chen Ning considered that Wang Yuanwai wanted everyone to gather together and return to Lanxian Town today, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Brother Black Panther, you eat first, I will go over and say to Wang Yuanwai, they will go back to Lanxian Town today, I will go to say hello to them, and then ask him to say goodbye to my big brother Li Dacheng of Lanxian Town." ”

Seeing that Chen Ning was going to say goodbye to Wang Yuanwai, the black panther put down the food in his hand, stood up, walked to the bed and wrapped his baggage, took out dozens of gold coins and handed them to Chen Ning, "Big brother likes you for this, it's kind enough, as a big brother, this little gold coin should be a little heart, let Wang Yuanwai bring back to your eldest brother in Lanxian Town, after all, it is your savior." After speaking, without waiting for Chen Ning to react, he forcibly stuffed it into his hand, and then sat down and continued to eat breakfast.

"Big Panther brother, isn't this okay?"

Chen Ning looked at the dozens of glittering gold coins in his hand, and said a little embarrassed, the black panther who came to Tianyun City was to help him get mercenary tokens and teach him exercises, although Chen Ning also had exercises, but the black panther treated him with his heart, and now gave him dozens of gold coins for him.

"It's nothing, I'll borrow you, and when this mission is completed, I'll deduct it. The panther waved his hand indifferently.

The other mercenaries in the room also smiled lightly and said, "Brother Chen Ning doesn't have to be polite. "Extremely kind to Chen Ning, after all, in the restaurant that day, they all saw what Chen Ning did, and naturally they agreed with it very much.

Seeing that everyone said so, Chen Ning knew that he was pretentious, nodded, and after saying thank you, he went out of the inn, came to the meeting place that Wang Yuanwai had agreed in advance, handed over dozens of gold coins to Ertie, and asked him to take them back to Li Dacheng, who had great trust in Ertie Chen Ning, because Ertie was the same as him, Chen Ning was also very relieved, not worried that he would swallow it privately, and when he left, Ertie asked Chen Ning why he didn't go back together, Chen Ning also patted Ertie on the shoulder, saying that he had something to do, and went back after a while, seeing the caravan slowly drive out of Tianyong City and embark on the journey back, Chen Ning went back to find the black panther them。

When Chen Ning met with the Black Panther at the inn, the group purchased all kinds of daily necessities and walked towards the World Chamber of Commerce.

Tianyun City is not very far from the Demon Beast Mountain Range in Dongsheng Shenzhou, which is why Tianyun City is one of the top two cities in the Jason Kingdom, because of the geographical location, it attracts mercenary teams from all over the world to stay in Tianyun City and its surroundings for a long time, so that they can go in at any time to hunt demonic beasts to maintain the cost of cultivation, which is also the sadness of not having a strong family and sect, so after the general mercenaries or casual cultivators become strong, they either form a larger mercenary team, or join some cultivation or dynasties and sects as disciples, so as to obtain cultivation resources。

The Demon Beast Mountain Range is very dangerous, people in the entire Xuantian Continent die in the Demon Beast Mountain Range almost every minute, but countless people go forward every day, this is the survival law of the Xuantian Continent, survival of the fittest, if you want to become stronger, in addition to your own talent, you must also have huge cultivation resources, just like Chen Ning spent five Xuanshi in one night last night, this is money that ordinary people can't earn in a lifetime, as long as you have strength in the Xuantian Continent, you will be valuable, otherwise you will consciously be an ordinary person.

After staying with the panther in the World Chamber of Commerce for a while, the Black Panther looked at the demand orders issued by some merchants, and secretly paid attention to it, which is also the reason why many mercenaries come to the World Chamber of Commerce, because the monster beasts you hunt when you go out, if there are just some merchants and families who need it, the price is naturally higher, so they will pay attention to it, and the World Chamber of Commerce will collect these things and notify the merchants when the time comes, so as or a commission.

When Chen Ning and his party left Tianyun City, it was already noon, the scorching sun was in full bloom at this time, Tianyun City was more than thirty kilometers away from the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and the group rode horses and galloped for more than an hour before they were almost close to the edge of the Demon Beast Forest.

The edge of the Demon Beast Mountain Range is a dense forest, and there are also many demon beasts produced here, but basically they are all first-order demon beasts, and there are very few second-order ones, according to the black panther and the mercenaries, Chen Ning understands that the edge of the Demon Beast Mountain Range is also full of dangers, and it is difficult to survive without strength, because there are poisonous snakes and poisonous weeds everywhere, sometimes even if you are cut by an unknown grass, if you are unlucky, it may be a poisonous weed.

When everyone dismounted at the edge of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, Chen Ning found that in addition to many mercenaries who came to hunt demon beasts like them, there were also many ordinary secular people in the border area, because the demon beasts in the Demon Beast Mountain Range did not get along with each other, and there were often fights between demon beasts, and the demon core of the demon beasts that were killed was when these people picked up the leaks, although there were opportunities, they were also very dangerous, so they were all in groups.

After Chen Ning and his party handed over the horses to the shopkeeper who was in charge of guarding the periphery under the leadership of Captain Black Panther, they stepped into the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

After entering the mountain range, there were weeds all around, some weeds were even taller than people, and there were countless big trees in the sky, which were many times denser than the Great Xing'an Mountains area that Chen Ning had seen in his previous life. On the way to walk, they were also attacked by ordinary poisonous snakes or unknown species from time to time, but the Black Panther and his party were obviously also experienced, and they cleared these obstacles with knives in their hands.

After walking for about two hours, the group finally came to the depths of the outer part of the mountain range, just when the black panther asked everyone to stop and rest, a black leopard suddenly jumped out of the dense grass next to it and attacked a mercenary next to Chen Ning, the speed was very fast, which caught Chen Ning a little off guard, but the mercenary was obviously quite experienced, his body flashed quickly, and he rolled to the ground and dodged, but the clothes on his body were also scratched by the black leopard.

Seeing that the mercenary dodged, the black leopard jumped up again and pounced on him, everyone had already reacted, only to see another mercenary pick up a mace and smash it at the black leopard, the black leopard was extremely fast, directly dodged the mercenary's mace, but pounced on the mercenary's figure is also a meal, jumped back in place, bared his teeth at everyone and roared together.

"Black Spotted Panther"

Just as everyone was surrounding the black leopard, the black leopard came to Chen Ning's side and said in surprise. Seeing Chen Ning looking at him, the black panther continued to say to Chen Ning, "The black spotted leopard is a first-order demon beast, I didn't expect that we just ran into this guy as soon as we entered the mountain range, although this guy is only a first-order demon beast, but it is extremely fast, and it is not easy to hunt. ”

"Black Spotted Leopard, I don't know what the strength of this leopard is?" After hearing the Black Panther's detailed explanation to himself, Chen Ning muttered and continued to ask.

"Huh.. The strength is not very strong, it is equivalent to the sixth-order strength of our human beings, but it is extremely fast, and it is not so easy to hunt it. The black panther continued to say patiently to Chen Ning, paused and continued, "Brother, you have to follow the old brother later, don't be hurt by this beast." After speaking, he looked at Chen Ning with a smile, and he was a big brother covering you, don't be afraid.

Hearing the Black Panther's words, Chen Ning couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Brother, you also underestimate me, aren't you?" Let me tell you, I have already broken through to the second order of the Xuan Scholar last night. ”

The panther originally smiling face heard Chen Ning say that he was already a second-order mystery, and immediately showed a look of surprise, stunned, and smacked his tongue a little, "What the hell? You're a second-order, aren't you?"

Chen Ning was also expected of the performance of the black panther, shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly, running the purple and green sword duel, and the Xuan Qi in his hand overflowed.

When they saw the Xuan Qi in Chen Ning's hand, not only the black panther, but also the other mercenaries were extremely surprised, Chen Ning knew that he was still an ordinary person when he faced the Mawangling bandits in the south of the official road, and now he was the second order of the Xuan Sect? How long has it been? If they knew that Chen Ning had reached the second order of the Xuan Qi in one night, I am afraid they would not be stunned at this moment.

However, just when everyone was looking at Chen Ning, the black spotted leopard instantly seized the opportunity of everyone's distraction, roared angrily, and quickly pounced towards a mercenary.

"Fight quickly, everyone go up together and kill this beast. ”

Seeing the black spotted leopard suddenly attacked, the black leopard didn't say more, and quickly stabbed at the black spotted leopard with a spear in his hand, and everyone had already come back to their senses when the black spotted leopard attacked, and they all quickly attacked the black spotted leopard, the black spotted leopard pounced on the mercenary and was blocked by the black leopard, so he immediately abandoned him and rushed towards the black leopard, and the black leopard was not afraid at all, a spear made the tiger and the tiger mighty, and each time the black spotted leopard was repelled, and Chen Ning also took out a long sword that the black leopard gave him and rushed up, under the joint attack of everyone, the black spotted leopard's belly and neck have been hung in many places, and bright red blood flowed out of the black leopard's body, but the injured black spotted leopard not only did not flinch, but aroused the ferocity of his demon beast, just after the black leopard spear stabbed the black spotted leopard to force back, the black spotted leopard pounced towards another mercenary, the mercenary obviously did not expect the black spotted leopard to suddenly pounce on him, the body could not dodge, was thrown to the ground by the black spotted leopard, when he reacted, he saw the black spotted leopard open its mouth, revealing its long fangs to bite himself.

And he was pounced on the ground by the black spotted leopard at the moment, unable to move, and the black panther and others did not have time to rescue, just when he was about to close his eyes and wait for death, Chen Ning's eyes were fast, and when he saw that the mercenary was about to die in the hands of the demon beast, the Xuan Qi in his body operated rapidly, and the Xuan Qi was injected into the long sword held in his hand, when the Xuan Qi was injected, the sword body emitted a faint purple gas, and no matter whether it could be shot or not, Chen Ning shot the long sword in his hand towards the black spotted leopard, after all, Chen Ning had too little combat experience, fortunately, he had seen a lot of martial arts dramas in his previous life, and he had never eaten pork and never seen a pig run？

The mercenary had already given up hope and closed his eyes and waited for death, but suddenly heard a miserable roar from the black spotted leopard, and immediately opened his eyes to look, only to see that the black spotted leopard was inserting a white long sword on its buttocks, and the sword body was only inserted into one-third, and in just these two seconds, the attack of the black leopard and others also quickly fell on the black spotted leopard, the black spotted leopard let out a roar again, covered in blood, and the two leopard eyes also overflowed with blood, extremely irritable, and attacked when he saw people, forcing everyone back, just when the black spotted leopard attacked wildly, the black leopard shouted; "Oh no, this beast wants to escape, everyone kill it in one go. After speaking, the black leopard took the lead in the spear and stabbed the black spotted leopard again, the black spotted leopard couldn't dodge, and was stabbed in the stomach by the black leopard with a shot, stabbing a big hole, accompanied by another miserable roar of the black spotted leopard, the black leopard's gun head pulled, and the intestines in the black spotted leopard's body were brought out under the action of inertia.

The black spotted leopard was already scarred at the moment, just when the black leopard and others were about to kill the black spotted leopard in one fell swoop, the black spotted leopard suddenly pounced towards the black leopard, the black leopard saw this and immediately dodged it, but the speed of the black spotted leopard still did not decrease a bit, just when the black leopard was about to attack again, I saw that the black spotted leopard's figure suddenly flashed, and suddenly rushed towards Chen Ning not far away, the black leopard screamed in his heart, this beast is cheating, not good, its target is Chen Ning, but at this moment the black leopard is at least 20 meters away from Chen Ning, and it is too late to rescue and immediately shouted; "Chen Ning, get out of the way, the spotted leopard is coming towards you. After the black panther finished speaking, he immediately rushed towards Chen Ning, and the other mercenaries didn't expect the black spotted leopard to be so cunning, and they also jumped in the direction of Chen Ning at their fastest speed, wanting to rescue Chen Ning.
