Volume III Chapter 121

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Mrs. Lin was Zhao Rong's friend Long Xin, and she had said last night that she was going to visit her today, but she had forgotten it.

Although Chen Fan didn't want to see her, it was not easy to excuse himself, who told himself to talk nonsense for a while, and now that he has led others to the door, he can only go out and deal with it casually.

When Chen Fan came to the living room, he found that Long Xin had been brought here by his subordinates and sat down, and the one sitting next to him was Wei Ying, who followed Long Xin wherever he went, and behind Long Xin was still standing the beautiful maid who got off the carriage with her first, but Chen Fan didn't know what her name was.

Seeing Chen Fan come in, Long Xin was about to stand up and salute, Chen Fan waved his hand, signaling that she didn't have to be polite, but Long Xin still finished saluting before sitting down.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry to disturb you! The concubine is here to visit Mr. today, and I want to ask you for advice. Long Xin didn't be too polite, and explained the theme as soon as she came.

"Is it for the sake of the 'abacus'?" Chen Fan asked knowingly.

"Yes, the concubine went back last night, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that the tool of 'abacus' was good, so I couldn't wait to come and ask you for advice today. Long Xin looked at Chen Fan, and her jade face was full of earnestness.

"Mrs. Lin, I understand what you mean. Chen Fan thought for a moment before he continued, "That's it, you go back today, and we will discuss the matter of the 'abacus' later." ”

"Mr. Chen......" Long Xin looked stunned, she couldn't imagine that Chen Fan would reject herself so obviously. Just as she was about to ask a question, Chen Fan had already waved her hand to interrupt her questioning.

"Listen to me first, and later I will write down the production method and counting formula of the 'abacus', and then ask someone to send it to you, you can see for yourself first, if there is anything you don't understand." Come back to me, do you think that's okay?"

Long Xin thought about it and felt that it was better, so she would take a look for herself first, have a general understanding, and come to him to discuss if there is something she doesn't understand. In this way, it will be easier for her to understand, thinking of this, she nodded and agreed: "Then there is Mr. Lao Chen." ”

"You're welcome, then I'll go and prepare first, and I'll send it to Mrs. Lin as soon as I'm done. With that, Chen Fan stood up.

"The concubine took her leave first, annoying Mr. Chen. Seeing that Chen Fan had the intention of sending off guests, Long Xin also stood up and confessed. The lotus step moved lightly and walked away.

After Long Xin left, Chen Fan asked someone to send pen and ink, and spent half an hour writing the production method and counting formula of "abacus", and then called Zhao Hai and asked him to send it to Long Xin in person.

After doing a good job in this matter, Chen Fan went to see Gao Qiang, Ma Shan, who was cultivating, and Chen Hong, who was alchemizing, and then returned to the arduous cultivation again.

Say it's hard. The main thing is that Chen Fan needs to do too much at the same time.

First of all, you need to cultivate both the "Divine Qi" and the "Beast Soul Power" at the same time. Although it is not considered to be dual-minded, it also needs to be distracted.

Secondly, while cultivating, it is also necessary to input the "power of the beast soul" into the bodies of the two little blood wolves to accelerate their growth. The strength of the two little blood wolves has now reached the level of eleventh level beasts, and they can only go further. You can reach the realm of a first-class alien beast.

Finally, it is also necessary to input the "Divine Qi" into the Divine Soldier Fist to see what changes it will make.

In this way, it is equivalent to using several hearts, if it weren't for the fact that the "Divine Qi" and "Beast Soul Power" can be operated automatically. There is no need to spend too much attention, and there will be no phenomenon of "going mad" because of conflicts, I am afraid that Chen Fan will be paralyzed to the ground at this time, and even die.

Chen Fan sat cross-legged on the bed, wearing a divine fist in his left hand, and holding another, the two divine fist gloves emitted a faint golden light at the same time, and his right hand held a blood tiger's inner dan, constantly absorbing the essence inside, both hands stretched out their index fingers at the same time, and pointed at the two little blood wolves, constantly outputting the "power of the beast soul", the two little blood wolves meekly lay on Chen Fan's thighs on both sides, their eyes narrowed, comfortably enjoying the nourishment of the "power of the beast soul".

One man and two beasts, forming a bizarre picture.

With the passage of time, everything is improving, the strength of the little blood wolf is improving, the attack increase of the Divine Weapon Fist is improving, and Chen Fan's "Beast Soul Power" and "Divine Qi" are also improving, just like that, Chen Fan successfully spent three days of cultivation, and everything is developing for the better.

I don't know how Zhao Jun dealt with them, Tian Daming, the supreme commander of the Yun'an Mansion garrison, did not come to trouble Chen Fan, nor did he let Zhao Wen come, even Zhao Jun and Zhao Jun did not see anyone in the past few days, nor did they send anyone over to tell Chen Fan about the follow-up development of the matter.

Gao Qiang and Ma Shan's cultivation has already been effective, and the surge in power has stabilized, both of them have already eaten the second White Creation Pill, and their skills have been increased to the seventh level and the sixth level of the day after tomorrow respectively, and they have started a new round of cultivation, continue to stabilize the surge in strength, and strive to take the third White Creation Pill as soon as possible.

Chen Hong had already refined another furnace of White Creation Pill, but due to the lack of age of herbs, he only got eight, and some of the other pills were also refined, and his skill was also upgraded to the fourth level of the day after tomorrow because of the relationship of continuous alchemy, and after taking a white creation pill, he was immediately promoted to the fifth level of the day after tomorrow.

Zhao Hai also ate the white Creation Pill given to him by Chen Fan, and his skill was raised to the seventh level of the day after tomorrow, and like Gao Qiang, he was also in the cultivation and steady increase of his strength.

The only thing that bothered Chen Fan a little was that in the past few days, except for the first day, the second and third days, Long Xin had taken a newly made simple "abacus" to ask Chen Fan questions, all about Ruzhao applying the mantra to the actual counting.

Although Long Xin is a stunning beauty, in the slight turn of the autumn waves, it can already make people fascinated, and when it is close, the faint fragrance of Zhilan faintly comes, which makes people feel intoxicated, and the heavenly sound spits out from the red lips, which makes people indulge in it without knowing it. Just look at Wei Ying's often demented look at Long Xin to know the effect, but Chen Fan is still a little bored.

Chen Fan doesn't hate Long Xin, this is unlikely, it is estimated that not many people in this world will hate her. He just felt a little uncomfortable because he was often interrupted by Long Xin's cultivation, if it was a different time, maybe Chen Fan wouldn't be like this.

On the other hand, I feel a little uncomfortable with Long Xin's politeness. Because Long Xin is so polite, every move is done according to the number of courtesies, and it is better to speak than to memorize Chinese, without the slightest hint of when she laughs with Zhao Rong.

This made Chen Fan a little scruple when he spoke and did things, and after saying some things a little, Long Xin frowned slightly. Then the eagle would stare at him. Scolding and can't scold, if you want to refuse but can't refuse, you can only sigh and try your best to teach, so that Long Xin can learn quickly, then you don't have to bother yourself anymore.

Fortunately, I don't know if Long Xin was born smart or is particularly sensitive to numbers, and is very talented, it only took two days. She had figured out the formulas of addition, subtraction, and multiplication, but she had not yet learned the formulas of division.

Originally, she wanted to continue to study with Chen Fan, but unfortunately there was one thing that broke her plan, that is, this year's warrior recruitment in Yun'an Mansion has ended, and other things have been arranged, Chen Fan is going to go to the capital with Zhao Jun and them.

The Zhao family team that went to the capital this time was very large, just Chen Fan's group. There are seventeen people, plus Zhao Hai and Li Ting. There were nineteen people, and a total of four carriages.

Due to the recruitment of such a genius as Chen Fan, Zhao Jun, who had no chance to enter the capital this time, also entered the capital with Zhao Jun, while Zhao Ming stayed in Octagon City and did not go with him.

Neither Zhao Jun nor Zhao Jun rode horses, and sat in the same carriage with Xu Shi. There was a tall man beside Xu Shi, the man's hair was gray, but there were no wrinkles on his face, his face was still red, and his voice was like a bell. On the surface, the actual age is not visible. After being introduced, I learned that he was Xu Shi's friend Hu Hongfeng, who was older than Xu Shi and was over seventy years old this year.

Long Xin was alone, Zhao Rong, as her friend, also sat on top of her carriage, and there was also an elderly woman with gray hair who Long Xin called her "Granny Zhong", who also got into the carriage. The eagle was escorted in front of the carriage with ten soldiers.

A total of twenty-five warriors accompanied the capital this time, including Qian Xiaoyun, who was seriously injured and had not recovered.

Although Qian Xiaoyun's injuries were not all healed, after a few days of recuperation, although he couldn't do it yet, there was no big problem in hurrying, so he also went to the capital with the team to report this time.

Except for Qian Xiaoyun and the other three warriors who couldn't ride horses in a carriage, the remaining twenty-one people, plus the twenty Zhao family warriors led by a congenital master, all rode horses and were arranged to guard the front and back, left and right.

There were also four carriages carrying supplies following behind, plus the coachmen, a total of more than ninety people, more than ten carriages, and they set off from Octagon City in a mighty way.

From Octagonal City to Mingyu City, the capital of the Eastern Empire, according to Chen Fan's speed, it would take about more than a month.

On the eighth day after the departure, the convoy came to a place called "Dark Forest", on the left side of the road was "Dark Forest", on the right was a rocky wasteland, full of strange boulders, and a small stone mountain that was not very tall, standing alone on the wasteland, adding to the desolate atmosphere.

The sunset is in the west ridge, and the group of ravines has already dawned.

It was getting late, the sun was setting, the tired birds were returning to the forest, and it was going to be dark soon, so Zhao Jun planned to sleep in the open on the rocky wasteland on the right for a night today, and then continue to hurry tomorrow.

Since some fierce beasts and even strange beasts would run out of the "Dark Forest" from time to time to hurt passers-by, Zhao Jun did not dare to be careless, and ordered all the warriors to do a good job of protection and not to relax. Another person was sent to find a suitable camp.

As the team was slowly marching, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps from the nearby Dark Forest, as if there were many fierce beasts running, and even the ground could feel the tremors.

Everyone was startled and immediately drove the carriages together slowly, while all the people dismounted and stood on the perimeter for defense. Fortunately, the road was wide enough to accommodate four carriages side by side. In this way, more than a dozen carriages can be placed in three rows, which greatly reduces the scope of the defensive circle.

Zhao Jun also stepped out of the carriage, jumped on the roof of the carriage, looked in the direction of the "Dark Forest", and kept issuing orders to adjust the defensive circle.

Chen Fan's carriage was in the middle, leaving Shui Yiyi and the other three women to be responsible for protecting Chen Hong and the others, and then Chen Fan came to Zhao Jun's side with Huo Yi and Huo Yi, while Huo Shan, Huo Lion, Huo Wu, and Huo Liu were separated from each other, ready to support at any time.

These strengths that have been exposed, Chen Fan is not ready to put them away anymore. It is good for yourself to show your strength at the right time.

Soon, the sound of running was already in front of him, and as two black shadows shot out of the forest, two groups of fierce beasts rushed out.

In the deafening sound of running, countless beasts destroyed everything that could be destroyed in front of them. Even the tiny trees were forcibly broken and knocked away, and the sound of trees breaking, the sound of branches and leaves, the roar of fierce beasts, and the sound of crashing with the ground were mixed together, and at a glance, they were densely packed with fierce beasts, and the sound was terrifying.

The first to rush out of the forest were two black-clothed men with their faces covered, and as soon as they saw Zhao Jun and the others, they immediately divided the two sides. They bypassed from the left and right directions of the defensive circle, and then flew into the mountain and rock wasteland on the right, flashed a few times, and disappeared behind the boulder, and followed by the fierce beast that the two black-clothed men rushed out, and saw the target disappear, and another large number of people appeared in front of him, so it doesn't matter if it is a group or not. When he saw someone, he pounced.

Zhao Jun's face was gloomy and he snorted coldly. Seeing the appearance of the two men in black just now, he already felt that something was wrong, and now it seems that he and the others have fallen into a conspiracy that has been prepared for a long time, but now is not the time to pursue it, so he immediately ordered to defend with all his might. These beasts must not be allowed to enter.

Looking at the figures of the two black-clothed men flying by, Chen Fan sneered in his heart, and his heart moved, and four black shadows that only he could see appeared on the roof of the car, but they were the four invisible black shadows that appeared in the Wang family that day. Four dark shadows then flashed. Quickly chased after the two men in black.

Turning his head to look back in the direction of the "Dark Forest", he saw that the chasing beasts had already started a fight with the warriors of the Zhao family. The crazy beast was like a torrent, surging forward, crashing into the Zhao family warriors, a reef as stable as Mount Tai, and immediately scattered, closing from the left and right sides to the rear, surrounding everyone.

Among the beasts that attacked, there were eleven-level black-striped leopards and tenth-level giant bears, plus a large number of seventh-level fierce beasts Furious Fire Bull and fifth-level fierce beasts human-faced spiders, and third-level fierce beasts Wind Wolves, the situation of the Zhao family warriors was not optimistic, and more importantly, the two beasts that stopped in the middle of the fierce beasts were not moving, one was a cow with a horsetail, and the other was a spider with a wolf's head, and there were actually two green fluff on the wolf's head.

"Spirit Beast! Tarantula King!" As soon as he saw these two beasts, Zhao Jun couldn't help but exclaim, "They are all second-level alien beasts. This time it's troublesome. ”

Hearing Zhao Jun's exclamation, Chen Fan looked at the two strange beasts, and saw that the tarantula king was similar to the tarantula he hunted in the thick gorge forest, but now this one is bigger, and the green hair on his forehead is not one but two, as for the essence beast that looks like a cow, he has not seen it, looking at the appearance, it should be a foreign beast belonging to the power system.

Chen Fan frowned slightly, hesitating in his heart whether to expose some of his strength.

Now among the twenty-one guards of the original Zhao family, there is only one congenital second-level master, and among the newly recruited martial artists, there is only one congenital first-level master, that is, Zhu Erxing, an acquaintance who has met Chen Fan a few times, and this time he also went to the Zhao family in the capital with other martial artists to report, with these two people, they can't compete with these two second-level beasts at all.

Although, with the six cobra guards that he has now exposed, plus the two innate masters of the Zhao family, he can completely compete with these two second-level alien beasts, and even repel them, but if he wants to hunt them, it will be a little difficult, and if he wants Neidan, it will be even more difficult.

Chen Fan remembered that only the alien beasts hunted by the water element could guarantee that they could get Neidan, and if they were killed by the cobra guards, there was no guarantee that they could get it.

If you want to improve your strength as soon as possible, you need the assistance of Neidan, but it is very difficult to get Neidan, it is not something that can be obtained with money, but I don't know what the reason is.

I have already felt it these days, the essence of the Blood Tiger Neidan that I have been using to assist in cultivation is about to be gone, it is estimated that when I cultivate the strength of my flesh to the innate level, that is, the third level of the berserker, and the twenty-third level of the beast race, the Blood Tiger Neidan will disappear, and when I cultivate in the future, the number of Neidan I need will be more and more, if I don't hurry up and find some now, once the Neidan is gone, my cultivation speed will drop down immediately, which is absolutely not allowed, but if I expose my strength so quickly, I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse。

Thinking of this, Chen Fan squinted at the direction of the carriage where Xu Shi and Long Xin were sitting, and he could sense it. That Hu Hongfeng and Granny Xu are both congenital masters, even if they don't send out the water element, the convoy is not in danger, but those Zhao family martial artists are in danger.

Although he didn't have any feelings for those warriors, if the casualties were too great now, who would stop the next danger? Looking at the actions of the two men in black, he knew that this was a planned conspiracy. There may be a follow-up plan, and you must retain your strength on your side, otherwise you won't have to make a move in the end, so will you just run away like this? This is not what you want to do.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan whispered to Zhao Jun: "Hall Master Zhao, hand over the two second-level beasts to me, and you want your people to deal with other beasts." ”

"I'll give it to you?" Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of Chen Fan's six innate first-level master entourage, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. "Okay, okay, I'll leave it to you, be careful, if there's any danger, just delay until my men clean up the other beasts before I go and help your people take down these two beasts." ”

After removing the trouble of the two strange beasts, Zhao Jun felt a lot more relaxed. After his mood relaxed, he couldn't help but think of two strange beasts again. If you accidentally get two Neidan, it will be a blessing in disguise.

"No need, your people only need to defend the other beasts, and my people will solve the two beasts. Chen Fan knew what Zhao Jun meant, if he let Zhao Jun's people intervene in it, then even if he got two Inner Dans in the end. I'm afraid that I have to divide one out, which Chen Fan will never allow, so he immediately refused.

"Alright then, ask your people to be careful, don't force it. Zhao Jun felt that six innate first-level masters were facing two second-level alien beasts. It's just half a catty and eight taels, and if you want to hunt two strange beasts, there is still a little short, and you should need your own people to take action in the end.

Chen Fan smiled faintly, did not reply, and called the scattered cobra guards over with telepathy, monitoring the movements of the two strange beasts, ready to come forward to besiege at any time, and Shui Si and Shui Wu were also called over by Chen Fan, standing behind him, ready at any time.

Zhao Jun glanced at Shui Si and Shui Wu, and was a little surprised, could it be that these two delicate girls are also masters? Otherwise, why would they call them over at this time.

Ignoring Zhao Jun's surprised gaze, Chen Fan focused on the battle ahead.

Twenty-five newly recruited warriors, except for Qian Xiaoyun, who was unable to participate in the battle due to injury, the remaining twenty-four people, together with the original twenty-one warriors of the Zhao family, surrounded the convoy and formed a circular defensive circle, tightly guarding eleven carriages, but there were too many beasts besieging them, and what they saw now would not be less than five hundred, of which there were at least ten eleventh-level fierce beasts black-striped leopards, and there were no less than ten ten-level fierce beasts giant bears, and they didn't know where the two strange beasts found so many fierce beasts above level ten.

Not wanting to see a large number of casualties among the warriors of the Zhao family, Chen Fan's mind moved, and passive skills such as "Focus Aura", "Brilliant Aura", "Endurance Aura", and "War Drums" were immediately added to all the samurai of the Zhao family.

The Zhao family's warrior's defense and attack immediately increased, the recovery speed of internal force and physical strength increased, and the movement speed and attack rate began to increase. The situation has improved somewhat.

"Boom!" As Chen Fan's left foot paused slightly, a silent and invisible shock wave instantly swept over the bodies of the beasts within a radius of twenty meters, slowing down their attack and causing the attack to deviate.

This is exactly the skill of group warfare - war trampling.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Fan didn't want to delay any longer. As soon as it gets dark and the vision is not clear, the combat effectiveness of the people will be reduced, and the situation will be even more unfavorable.

Instructing Shui Si, Shui Wu and Huo Yi to keep an eye on the movements of the two strange beasts, Chen Fan took the fire stream, flew down, and joined the defensive team.

When Zhao Jun wanted to stop him, it was too late, so he had to pay attention to his situation and be ready to rescue at any time, when he saw that there was still a stream of fire around Chen Fan, his heart calmed down, Chen Fan is an important figure in whether the Zhao family can win the championship in the junior group in this family martial arts competition, and there is no room for loss.

As soon as Chen Fan stretched out his hand, a small hammer had already appeared on his right hand, and with another swing, it hit the head of a wind wolf, shattering its skull, and throwing the body backwards, at the same time, the "thunder blow" broke out, and the bodies of all the fierce beasts within forty meters froze, and their movements immediately slowed down.

Feeling the changes of the beasts in front of them, the warriors of the Zhao family immediately swung their swords together, and the sound of sneering swords into the flesh was endless, and one by one the fierce beasts were repelled and killed, but in just a short time, more than fifty corpses of fierce beasts were added to the ground, although most of the corpses on the ground were low-level beasts such as wind wolves, but it also shocked the spirit of the warriors of the Zhao family, and their fighting spirit was high.

With the blessing of Chen Fan's "aura" and "war drums", coupled with the alternating use of "war trampling" and "thunder strike", the Zhao family warriors have already taken the advantage, although a few people were seriously injured and retreated from the battlefield, but hundreds of fierce beasts were also killed, and now there are no fierce beasts to continue to come out of the forest, it seems that there is no backup.

Now there are about 400 or so fierce beasts in the battlefield Shanghai, most of the high-level fierce beasts are still there, there are still eight black leopards left, there are seven giant bears left, and the Zhao family, the total number of warriors has dropped from the original forty-five to the current forty, and there are still some who continue to fight with injuries, but no one died, and those who retreated were seriously injured.

Chen Fan issued a command in his heart, Shui Si and Shui Wu each took five cobra guards to pounce on the two strange beasts, Shui Si attacked the spirit beast with Huo Yi and Huo Yi, and Shui Wu attacked the Tarantula King with Huo Shan, Fire Lion, and Fire Martial Arts.

The two strange beasts, who were already a little ready to move when they saw the heavy casualties of their subordinates, couldn't help but be furious when they saw that someone actually took the initiative to provoke them, and roared in unison, avoiding the attacking water balls and fireballs, and facing the enemy.

The spirit beast rushed straight into the water thread, and the two horns on its head bent and stretched forward, and under the momentum, with a looming white light, like two swords, inserted into the water thread.

As soon as the left hand of the water silk was stretched, the "Water Flow Technique" was released, and six invisible qi energy wrapped around the spirit beast, slowing down its momentum violently, and then with a wave of the right hand, a water ball suspended in the right hand exploded out, directly taking the spirit beast.

Relying on its thick skin and strong defense, the spirit beast did not dodge or dodge, and slammed into the water balloon.

"Boom!"

The water balloon erupted, and the feminine but powerful force blasted the essence beast with a skin as hard as gold and stone to dissipate its danqi, and the blood flowed all over its face, and the spirit beast not only stopped its momentum by force, but was also pushed back involuntarily by a force.

Shaking its still somewhat dizzy head, the spirit beast was about to fight back, when two fireballs and a water ball had already bombarded its body, the blazing fire and the feminine water power broke out at the same time, but the fire energy could not break through the defense of the spirit beast, and even the outer skin did not hurt the slightest, only the water ball opened a hole in the spirit beast's body, blood splashed, and broken flesh flew sideways.

The spirit beast roared in pain, slammed into the fire next to it, and then rushed towards the water, vowing to tear the enemy who hurt it to pieces. (To be continued......)
