At this moment, the sky was dark again, and a few hazy stars were scattered on the canopy, and the boundless silence isolated the Black Magic Mountain in the night.

In the woods not far from the edge of the Black Magic Mountain, there were hundreds of corpses lying on the ground. The corpses, dressed in black, were either killed by arrows, severed by sharp weapons, or separated from each other, with varying causes of death and varying circumstances.

But one thing is certain, these dead belong to the same forces.

In a dense forest ten miles away from here, dozens of dark shadows gathered here. They wipeed their weapons or adjusted their bowstrings, but none of them spoke.

"Why don't they all speak, are they all dumb?" Chi Yue's eyes were red, and his gaze swept over each of the brothers' faces.

"This mission is not very difficult, if we are careful, we can complete the mission without breaking a single soldier!" Speaking of this, Chi Yue paused, as if he was considering the wording.

"But as a result, we lost five brothers! They are forever buried in this forest! Don't you think you should say something?" Chi Yue suppressed his emotions, and his voice was like a low roar.

Hearing his words, everyone lowered their heads, but still no one said anything.

"I am your boss, and I command all the operations! As the captain, I can't escape the blame for such a tragedy!" Chi Yue said in a deep voice.

Everyone jerked their heads up and looked at him with some bewilderment.

Suddenly, there was a "poof" sound! Everyone was shocked.

"Boss!"

"Captain!"

Everyone shouted, and hurriedly moved closer to Chi Yue.

"What the hell is called! Lao Tzu can't die!" Chi Yue roared. But in his voice, the people could hear his pain.

"This finger is a lesson from this failure! In the future, before every action, look at my severed finger. I hope that this broken finger is valuable, meaningful, and can alert everyone! This finger is far less important than the lives of each of us, if it reduces the casualties in future operations, it will also be earned!" Chi Yue gritted his teeth and endured the pain.

"Boss, it's all our fault, it's that we are too light on the enemy, too lazy, we will definitely change it in the future!"

"Captain, we know it's wrong!"

At this moment, a group of men have long been unable to cry, not only for the brothers who lost their lives in this operation, but also for the bosses who are iron-clad and regard their brothers as siblings!

Lin'er sat by the fire at the entrance of the cave, holding her chin with her hands, looking at the night in a daze, the firelight reflected on her face, reflecting the melancholy on the girl's face.

In the evening, a beautiful eagle eagle brought news of Zhuang Xuan, which made the anxious Lin'er feel a little calm.

Zhuang Xuan said in the letter that he went out with a senior and would not come back for a while, so that everyone could rest assured and not be worried.

Cang'er and Ah Hu sat by the fire roasting game.

All this game was brought by the eagle. In the evening, it left after delivering Zhuang Xuan's letter to the entrance of the cave, but he returned soon after, this time with a few small beasts.

Cang'er was roasting a rabbit, the golden grease dripping into the fire, making a sizzling sound, at this moment the rabbit was almost smoked, and the thick aroma went straight to the nose.

Cang Er swallowed his saliva, tore off one of his hind legs, and was just about to send it to his mouth, when he suddenly saw Lin'er with a worried face, so he had to smash his mouth, came to Lin'er, and handed his hind legs over.

"Thank you, Brother Cang'er!" Lin'er took the rabbit meat and brought it to her mouth, but sighed, and then put it down again, still staring at the night in the distance, stunned.

The village chief came to the entrance of the cave and looked at the little ones, with a smile on his old face. He felt relieved to see his descendants love each other so much.

"Grandpa the village chief!" Cang'er saw that Lin'er was not very interested, and he didn't know what to say to enlighten her. Just as he was scratching his ears and cheeks, he found the village chief standing at the entrance of the cave.

Hearing Cang'er's words, Ah Hu and Lin'er quickly stood up.

The village chief walked over, looked at the unhappy Lin'er, and said with a slight smile: "Little girl, are you still worried about your brother Zhuang Xuan? Don't worry, didn't he let the golden eagle send a letter! It's going to be fine, don't you believe in your brother Zhuang Xuan's ability?"

"Of course I believe Brother Zhuang Xuan!, but ......" Lin'er opened her mouth, but didn't say anything else, just a small face that was slightly red, and when the firelight shone, it was even more red.

"Hahaha! I know! The little girl misses your brother Zhuang Xuan! When he comes back, I'll tell him personally, how about it?" Seeing Lin'er's shy posture, the village chief couldn't understand her thoughts, and immediately laughed and teased.

"The village chief's grandfather is so bad! I'm going to accompany the dumb aunt!" The village chief's words made Lin'er's face blush as if it was about to drip blood! In shame, he stomped his foot and ran into the cave.

"What's wrong with Lin'er, why is your face red like that?"

Ah Hu and Cang'er looked at Lin'er's appearance, and their brains couldn't turn for a while.

The night fades and the sun rises. A new day has arrived.

At a three-way intersection more than twenty miles away from the southern foot of the Black Magic Mountain, there is a small town called Bluestone.

The merchants who run shops in Qingshi Town are all mortals who have not cultivated, because there are often monks who go to the periphery of the Black Magic Mountain to practice, so someone has set up a small teahouse in this place for the monks to rest. After a long time, with the emergence of follow-up demand, a small town has slowly formed here.

Because the town is full of bluestone buildings, it is named bluestone town.

As soon as it was dawn, I heard the sound of messy horses' hooves galloping towards the town. The person in the front held a large flag, and a big word "Qi" was written on the flag.

With the arrival of the horse team, shops in the town have also opened. Quite a few people gathered in the streets, looking in the direction of the horse caravan.

"It's the Qi family's team!"

"That middle-aged man riding a red date horse seems to be Qi Huantian, the head of the Qi family!"

"You can't be mistaken, right! Why did the head of the Qi family come back here?" But when the horse team got closer, the man exclaimed, "It's really the head of the Qi family!"

"I don't know what the Qi family master has to do when he comes to Qingshi Town, is he going to enter the Black Magic Mountain to practice?"

"Brother, are you joking, after so many years, when have you ever seen the head of the Qi family come to Bluestone Town?" someone laughed at the other party.

As everyone speculated, the horse team had reached the entrance of the town, and the speed slowly slowed down.

Until this time, those who had never seen Qi Huantian could see his appearance clearly.

I saw that in the middle of the front of the horse team, there was a middle-aged man with a burly figure, a square face and a broad nose, and long flowing hair. This is the famous head of the Qi family within a radius of 100 miles, Qi Huantian!

The horse team went straight to the door of an inn, and the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him with a smile and took the reins from Qi Huantian's hand.

"Uncles have worked hard, please sit in the room!"

As soon as Qi Huantian's feet stepped on the steps of the inn, he heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves from the direction of the town. He simply withdrew the foot, turned away, and looked at the entrance of the town.

"It's the team of Wanjia!"

"Oh my God, what day is today! The teams of the two major families have come to Qingshi Town one after another, is there something going to happen?"

Looking at the 10,000-character banner flying in front of the horse team, everyone was talking.

Wanjia's horse team never slowed down, galloping all the way, frightening everyone in the street to avoid it.

Wanjia's horse team stopped at the front of the Qi family's team.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face rode a horse to Qi Huantian and said condescendingly: "Yo! Isn't this the head of the Qi family? What kind of wind blew you to a place where this bird doesn't? Could it be that business has not been doing well recently, and you want to come to this Black Demon Mountain to get some spot in person?"

Qi Huantian frowned slightly, obviously the middle-aged man's words made him unhappy.

"Didn't the master of the Wan family also come? Could it be that there is no supply?" Qi Huantian said nonchalantly.

The two are the heads of the Qi family and the Wan family in Yangliu City.

Although there are many families like the Qi family and the Wan family in Yangliu City, because these two are located on the edge of Yangliu City and only a hundred miles away from the Black Magic Mountain, the people in Qingshi Town have a little understanding of the situation of the two families.

Because the two businesses have medicinal herbs and furs, there is a lot of friction in the business on weekdays, so that the two look at each other unpleasantly as soon as they meet, so the owner of the Wan family sarcastically mocks the other party when he sees Qi Huantian.

Listening to the conversation between the two, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the two did not deal with each other, and one by one they held their breath and watched the development of the situation quietly.
