The edge of the valley.

Mu Yiyang and Chang Wei were standing under a big tree to enjoy the shade, looking at the sparse pedestrians on the road, Chang Wei complained: "Xiao Mu, you said that Chang Chen, this kid wouldn't have found some good wine to hide and drink secretly, why haven't you come back after so long?"

Mu Yiyang smiled bitterly: "With his temperament, this is really uncertain." ”

Chang Wei also looked helpless, sighed lightly, and said: "I knew that I shouldn't have let him go shopping alone, but now it's okay, I haven't even seen a shadow, so I can't go from stall to stall to find it, it's really a headache." ”

Who knows, as soon as his words were finished, Chang Chen's angry voice sounded at this time: "Okay, you Chang Wei, you are talking bad about me again, you can't deny it this time." ”

Chang Wei's face was surprised, a little weak-hearted, but his mouth was ruthless, and said, "You are embarrassed to come back, do you know how long we have been waiting for you?"

Chang Chen knew that he was at a loss, waved his hand, and said: "You can't blame me, who knew that Lao Zhang, who sells wine in Linfeng Village, didn't come this time, so I searched for so long in vain, and I was late, but you guys, did you find the black python skin?"

Chang Wei smiled proudly, raised the package in his hand, and said, "Although I didn't find it, thanks to Xiao Mu's sharp eyes, we bought a lightning strike vine with a better material, and it was finally worth the trip." ”

Chang Chen was a little frustrated, and said: "It seems that my luck is really not a little bit worse, even such a rare thing as a lightning strike vine has been touched by you, I can't even buy a jar of wine, no, I must ask the blind grandfather to calculate a hexagram for me when I go back, it's not suitable to go out recently!"

Mu Yiyang smiled and said, "Didn't you just calculate it last month, is it different to calculate it again?"

Chang Chen didn't think about it, and said: "The things of life are changing rapidly, of course there is a difference. ”

Chang Wei looked suspicious and said, "You just blow it!"

Chang Chen's breath was stagnant, and he was about to retort with a red face, but his steps were stunned, and he said, "By the way, there is one thing I almost forgot to say, Xiao Mu, this Earth-Splitting Dog Beast Core is yours, right?"

As he spoke, Chang Chen took out a blood-red beast core from his arms, Mu Yiyang touched his chest, saw that there was nothing there, and took the beast inspection and looked at it again, only then did he say with some surprise: "Strange, how can my beast core be in your hand?"

Chang Chen said: "At that time, the two of you were fighting with that aunt, and the fight was hot, so naturally you didn't see another beast core rolling out of the ground, if I didn't happen to be there, this advantage would have been taken by others." ”

Hearing this, Mu Yiyang was speechless for a while, and Chang Wei said slightly angrily: "Who is eyebrow-raising with the eldest aunt, are you deliberately doing something?"

"Don't you dare to admit it?"

"Nonsense!"

......

The three of them said like this, but the soles of their feet did not stop stepping, and I don't know how long it took like this, the surrounding scenery kept changing, and before I knew it, I came to a quiet mountain forest.

Due to the long journey, the three of them were a little tired, and at Mu Yiyang's suggestion, after several people found a relatively flat ground and sat down, they took out dry food one after another and ate it with relish.

But at this moment, a sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded, Mu Yiyang only felt a chill in his throat, and a black iron arrow one meter long flew towards him from the forest, the cold light flickered, and it came in an instant.

Caught off guard, Mu Yiyang had to quickly turn sideways, and the iron arrow flew dangerously against his shoulder, bringing up a string of blood flowers, and the sound of "Qiang" sank into a mountain rock, the strength was amazing, very terrifying.

"Xiao Mu!"

This sudden scene shocked everyone present, Chang Chen and Chang Wei exclaimed in unison, and surrounded Mu Yiyang, their eyes like lightning, and swept towards the surroundings.

"I'm fine. ”

Signaling Chang Chen and the two not to worry, Mu Yiyang didn't have time to deal with the wound, so he quickly released his soul sense, and all movements within a radius of fifty meters fell into his perception, but the attacker was not in this range.

Almost subconsciously, Mu Yiyang continued to urge his soul power to spread outward, and to his surprise, his perception range was infinitely expanding at this moment, and he didn't stop until he was about to reach a radius of 100 meters, and seven blurred figures also appeared in his soul consciousness at this moment.

"To the east!"

Pointing to the place where the attacker was hiding, Mu Yiyang shouted loudly, but a sharp and piercing sonic boom suddenly came at this time, and more than a dozen narrow and sharp iron arrows then pierced the void, setting off a violent gust of wind, pointing directly at the vital points of Mu Yiyang and the three of them.

"Zheng!"

A crisp and loud sword roar suddenly sounded, but it was Chang Wei who suddenly pulled out the long sword in his hand, and with a swing of the sword, a brilliant half-moon-shaped golden brilliance flashed in the air, carrying a supreme power that swept through the eight desolations, and swept towards the rain of arrows that broke through the sky.

"Bang Bang!"

A series of metal clashing sounds followed, and sparks flew in the forest, and all the sharp arrows in the air shot out in all directions, either sinking into the towering giant trees, or inserting them into the stones, the scene was so fierce that it is difficult to describe in words.

After the rain of arrows fell, knowing that their whereabouts had been exposed, the seven people in the forest simply stopped hiding, and jumped down from several dense trees, all with murderous faces, and walked slowly towards Mu Yiyang and the others.

In the middle of the crowd, a one-eyed boy about fifteen or sixteen years old had a cold light in his eyes, and he stared at Mu Yiyang with a cold expression, it was Shen Zhiming, a young man from Chino Village who was unexpectedly injured in one eye by him that day.

Seeing Shen Zhiming, Mu Yiyang's pupils couldn't help but jump, and he said slightly angrily: "It's a few of you again, it's really ghostly!"

As he spoke, Mu Yiyang quietly urged the soul power vortex in his mind and began to outline the gravity array.

Approaching Mu Yiyang and the three of them, everyone in Chiye Village stopped, Shen Zhiming's face was hideous, and he said: "Stinky boy, I'm still worried that I can't find you, I didn't expect you to send it to the door by yourself, it's no wonder to me, if you know each other, I will obediently hand over the exercises, and I can also consider leaving you a whole corpse." ”

Seeing that the other party made a dead hand as soon as he came up, Mu Yiyang knew that he couldn't dodge, and the blood on his body suddenly surged into his heart, and he said without showing weakness: "I think I've made it very clear, if you don't have the exercises, you can only kill them, and if you have the ability, you will come and take it!"

Chang Wei also sneered, and then echoed: "First bullying the little with the more, and now bullying the small with the big, you people in Chiye Village are really not ashamed, so hard to force each other, is there really no one in our Yunxi Village?"

Hearing this, a cold snort suddenly came, but it was a horse-faced young man who was about twenty years old behind Shen Zhiming who stepped forward with a cold face, and said in a cold voice: "What a sharp tooth and sharp mouth, I want to see how you, an ant of the fourth layer of the mortal realm, can shake me, a great tree of the tenth layer of the mortal realm." ”

As he spoke, the horse-faced young man violently used the power of the blood veins in his body, and a majestic coercion emanated from his body, overwhelmingly pressing towards Mu Yiyang and the three people on the opposite side.

Under this heavy pressure, Mu Yiyang and Chang Wei only felt a huge force rushing towards them, and the power of the blood veins in their bodies actually became extremely stagnant at this moment, difficult to operate, cold sweat was dripping, and it was constantly coming out of their backs.

Seeing this, Chang Chen's face suddenly flashed with a hint of bitterness, today's situation was a little unexpected to him, he knew that the thing he was most unwilling to face was going to happen after all.

......

In the valley, the vendors had long since left, and only one tent was left standing alone, which seemed very abrupt.

Inside the tent, an old man dressed as a Taoist priest with gray hair was sitting upright on a wooden chair, with a little bit of the vicissitudes of seeing through the world in his cloudy old eyes, looking down on Li Danian who was kneeling on the ground like a king who looked down on all beings, staring at him so much that he didn't even dare to breathe

After a while, the old man slowly retracted his gaze, and said in an indifferent tone: "Say, what are the last words, for the sake of your assistance to me for many years, I will try my best to help you do what I can do." ”

A flash of panic flashed in Li Danian's eyes, and he hurriedly knocked his head a few times, and said: "Hall Master spare your life, the villain knows that he is wrong, as long as you give me another chance, I will definitely help you successfully find out the formula of Netherworld Scatter and help you become a special envoy!"

The old man snorted coldly and said, "Spare your life? To put it mildly, if you hadn't sworn to tell me that you had full confidence in grasping the handle of Special Envoy Lin's rebellion, I would have completely offended her to death for you? Now you want me to spare your life, who will spare my life!"

Li Danian's heart sank, and his face turned pale and said: "Hall Master is angry, that Earth Splitting Dog Beast Core was stolen once at the rally today, and it must have been dropped at that time, I have sent someone to keep an eye on all the people related to this matter, as long as I arrest them all, I will definitely be able to find the beast core that hides the Nether Scatter formula." ”

The old man's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was thinking, and after a while, he said with a cold face: "What if I can't find it this time?"

Li Danian gritted his teeth and said, "If you haven't found it yet, your subordinates are willing to apologize with death!"

The old man said: "Okay, then I will believe you again, if you can find out the recipe within three days, I can not only be guilty of the past, but also recommend you to the above as the next new hall master." ”

Li Danian was a little shocked, took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you, hall master!"

Seeing Li Danian leaving, the old man suddenly stood up from his seat, and with a slight wave of his right hand, a light curtain invisible to the naked eye immediately enveloped the entire tent, and the sounds of the outside world disappeared strangely at this moment.

Then, a faint glow flashed on the ring in the old man's hand, and a pure white jade slip appeared in his palm.

Looking at the jade slip in his hand, the old man had words in his mouth, and a drop of essence blood condensed from the center of his eyebrows, dripping on the jade slip, a blazing white light suddenly lit up, and a cloud of smoke followed from it, forming the shape of a skull in the air, and an incomparably powerful coercion emanated from the skull.

Almost at the moment when the skull was formed, the old man immediately bowed down and saluted, and said in a respectful tone: "Welcome to the arrival of Lord Xiang!"

The skull in the air bowed slightly, and even spoke, "How are things going?"

The old man said: "I have been narrowing down the scope of investigation according to the instructions of the adults, and at the latest half a month, I can find out the whereabouts of that person, and please wait for the good news." ”

The skull moved, and said, "Very good, everything is going according to the original plan, if there are special circumstances, remember to report to me in time." ”

The old man said again: "There is one more thing for my subordinates, and the things you told me to pay attention to last time have already been revealed. ”

The skull suddenly smiled, as if he was very satisfied, and said, "Are you saying that you have found the whereabouts of the Tianyang Stone?"

The old man smiled and said, "My subordinates don't know very well, but it's just that the demonic beasts in this Zhongnan Mountain Range are extremely powerful and bloodthirsty, but they are very similar to the symptoms of evil qi entering the body that adults said." ”

The skull laughed and said, "Well done, I'll go back and confirm it in person, if it's really Tianyang Stone, the helmsman will be rewarded!"
