Chapter 523: Strange Old Man

Nameless City, City Lord's Mansion. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Chu Yan explained that the intention was to find the soul cardamom, and Yu couldn't help frowning.

"Young Master Chu, I can't hide it, I've also heard of the Soul Returning Cardamom, it is likely to be in the forest west of Yang City on the Nine Heavens Continent, but there are many dangers there, and there are many powerful spirit beasts infested, you have to be careful." ”

Chu Yan nodded, when it came to Chang Zai's death, he had no choice.

In fact, powerful spirit beasts are much more dangerous than powerful cultivators.

This is different from the orcs led by Su You, just like the centaurs, the one-eyed giants, the elves, the Meizu, and so on......

Strictly speaking, they are considered aliens, not beasts.

In fact, spirit animals, like humans, also have a strict hierarchy. As far as Chu Yan knew, the ninth-grade high-level spirit beasts were already rare, and further up were the earth level, the heaven level, the king level, and the emperor level.

Just like the male and female Jiaojiao in the blood lotus, although they have just evolved the second pair of wings, but according to the hierarchy of the spirit beast, there is only the first rank of the ninth grade, and this is already quite remarkable, if it is not for the nourishment of the snow lotus and countless elixirs, I am afraid that in another thousand years, the male and female Jiaojiao will not evolve the second pair of wings.

After all, spirit beasts are different from humans, they can use elixirs and exercises to improve their own cultivation, and the resources they can use are very scarce, and they are basically gone except for their own talents.

In the middle of the night, Chu Yan and Gu Xiulan quietly left the City Lord's Mansion and went straight to Yangcheng.

Originally, Yu Qingrou had already arranged for the wolf hunter to go with the two of them, but Chu Yan didn't want to trouble people all the time, so he didn't say goodbye.

............

A few days later, the two came to Yangcheng, which was already the westernmost city of the Nine Heavens Continent, and most of the people who lived there were farmers who farmed, standing on the low city wall, the two of them could already see the forest in the distance, and in the forest, there was a mountain peak that reached into the sky, which seemed very mysterious.

This forest is very large, there is no end in sight, according to Yu Qingrou, the area of this forest probably occupies the first layer of land in the Nine Heavens Continent.

This is a very frightening number, you know, a lot of small forces, small tribes, and this forest is big.

After buying some dry food and two horses in the city, Chu Yan and Gu Xiulan galloped out of the city gate, and finally came to the periphery of the forest that evening.

This place is already full of tents of all sizes, and Chu Yan knows that it is now the agricultural slack period, which is why so many people come here to hunt some spirit beasts and collect some spiritual medicines to supplement the family.

After choosing a place, the two of them set up their tents, and at this time, they saw a group of people carrying an old man covered in blood, rushing out of the forest, and one of the tall men shouted: "Old man He, one of us is injured, come here." ”

Chu Yan and Gu Xiulan glanced at each other, hurriedly walked over, and saw that the injured person was covered in blood, and he had fainted at this time.

And a skinny old man next to him was taking out some elixir to rescue, but after a long time, there was no effect.

"Lao Zhao is no longer good, I can't save him. The old man stood up slowly and shook his head helplessly.

"Old man He, if you think about it again, Lao Zhao can't die. ”

An old man about fifty years old walked out of the crowd, and said sadly: "There are still seven people in his family who rely on him to feed, this year's year is not good, and the grain in the field can be half of last year, which is too much, which makes the old Zhao family how to live." ”

"Pavilion Chief Zhang, I really have no choice. Old man He still shook his head.

Looking at the dying old Zhao, everyone didn't know what to do for a while, but at this time, Gu Xiulan pulled Chu Yan's sleeve and made a look.

"Why don't you let me try, maybe I can save Lao Zhao's life. ”

I saw Chu Yan come to Lao Zhao's approach, and was surprised to find that his injury was really not light.

The fatal wound was in the chest, where all the bones were shattered, and they collapsed deeply, and they should have been smashed out by the extremely powerful spirit beast.

Chu Yan hurriedly took out a Yuan Tian Dan and stuffed it into his mouth, and then pretended to be busy again, and after a while, Lao Zhao finally woke up.

"He's not a big deal anymore, just a few more days of rest to get better. ”

Seeing this, everyone seemed very happy, and they came to Chu Yan's side to thank him, and Pavilion Chief Zhang took his hand even more gratefully: "Thank you Engong for coming to the rescue, in Xia Zhang Delu, he is a pavilion chief in Yangcheng, and he is here to thank Engong for saving his life for the old Zhao family." ”

Chu Yan just smiled and didn't say anything.

At this time, I saw Zhang Delu looking at the past carefully, and then frowned: "Seeing that Engong is not like a person from our Yangcheng, I don't know what to do here, if there is anything that Zhang can do, please Engong will do his best to help despite his orders." ”

"Actually, it's nothing. Chu Yan rolled his eyes: "We are from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, it will be my teacher's birthday in a while, I want to find a thousand-year-old ginseng to give him as a gift, but I can't find it in all the shops at home, I heard that there are a lot of elixirs in the forest of Yangcheng, so I came to try my luck with my senior sister." ”

Zhang Delu was stunned, and looked over with a smile: "Engong is really bold enough, but it is very dangerous here, just with your sister and brother, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out if you go in." ”

As he spoke, the old man paused, turned around and asked, but no one found the thousand-year-old ginseng, so he turned around again.

"Otherwise, Engong will wait here for a few more days, and the search for ginseng will be handed over to us, and you two will not go in. ”

"Pavilion Chief Zhang's kindness is understood, I will go in with my sister early tomorrow morning, and I won't go too far, please rest assured. Chu Yan shook his head again and again.

Seeing that he couldn't convince the two, Zhang Delu hurriedly called Old Man He over: "Tomorrow, you go in with Engong, and you must protect their safety." ”

Looking at the skinny old man He, Chu Yan was surprised to find that he couldn't even see his cultivation, there were only two possibilities for such a situation, one was that this old man was an ordinary person and was not a cultivator at all, and the other was that this person's cultivation was unfathomable, and he could hide the power of the tears of the heavens and seas, so at least it should be the cultivation of the God Emperor.

In contrast, Chu Yan was more willing to believe the latter, because the old man was constantly looking at him, and he might also be wondering why he couldn't see his cultivation.

It's just that Chu Yan couldn't figure out why a god emperor-level master would nest in such a place.

At this time, Old Man He's eyes flashed, and then disappeared immediately, then nodded, and left without saying anything.

"Don't be surprised. Zhang Delu smiled awkwardly: "Although this old man has a strange temper, he is a warm-hearted person, and he is the most powerful and experienced hunter here, I believe that with him accompanying Engong, nothing will happen." ”

"Then thank you Pavilion Chief for your kindness. Chu Yan was also curious, so he didn't postpone it.

In the evening, the people here came to Chu Yan and Gu Xiulan's tent one after another, and sent a lot of food, all of which were roasted game and some wild fruits.

After dinner, the two returned to the tent to rest, this was the first time Gu Xiulan had been in the same room with Chu Yan, so she looked a little nervous.

"What do you think of Old Man He?"

"Huh?" Gu Xiulan was a little distracted: "It's a very strange old man, and he doesn't seem to like us very much." ”

"Yes, he is somewhat hostile to us, and his cultivation is so high that even I can't see it. ”

"What?" Gu Xiulan sat up suddenly, he knew very well that even the God King could not escape Chu Yan's eyes, if he said this, wouldn't it be that Old Man He's cultivation was the God Emperor.

"This ...... How is this possible?" After a long time, Gu Xiulan could finally react, "How can a God Emperor master stay here as a hunter?"

"I don't know about that. Chu Yan shook his head slightly, "But I feel like he's injured?"

Early the next morning, in the thousands of instructions of Pavilion Chang Zhang, the three of them finally entered the forest, Old Man He was in front, Chu Yan and Gu Xiulan were behind, the speed of travel was not very fast, and they did not encounter any powerful spirit beasts along the way, but they encountered many rare elixirs.

500-year-old ginseng......

600 years of delicate grass......

400-year-old fire vermilion fruit......

Chu Yan's eyes were about to fall to the ground, he didn't expect that the elixir here was so rich, but finding the Soul Returning Cardamom was the most important thing right now, so he never stopped.

In this way, the three of them continued until the night suddenly changed, and a group of wolves surrounded the three of them, and there were nearly a thousand of them.

Old man He didn't have any fear, and slowly took out a long sword, as wide as a bamboo leaf, as thin as a cicada's wings, and the edge of the sword came out of the blue waves and autumn water, and he knew that it was an extraordinary product at a glance.

"You follow the old man......"

As soon as the words fell, Old Man He blasted the encirclement open with a sword aura, and then rushed out, while Chu Yan and Gu Xiulan also took out their weapons one after another and followed closely.

Old Man He's swordsmanship is extremely weird, and it is full of power.

But the wolf is known for not being afraid of death, and even in the face of a god emperor, he is not afraid, and he still does not want to rush up.

Old man He frowned, he thought that if he burst out with the momentum of the God Emperor, these wolves would be scared away, but he didn't expect it to be useless.

There was no way, he had no choice but to protect Chu Yan and Gu Xiulan behind him, and the long sword in his hand swept horizontally, and a sword qi like a shock wave directly killed all the wolves in front of him.

The wolf finally howled and ran away with his companions.

Old man He coughed twice, his face changed slightly, and after walking for about ten miles, the three of them lit a bonfire under a big tree.

Chu Yan took out the dry food and roasted it on the fire, and then divided it among the two, but Old Man He took out a skin bag and poured it a few mouthfuls, and then looked at the bonfire with two eyes: "Fifth Order of the Sealing God Realm, you are a female baby with good strength?"

As he spoke, the old man looked at Chu Yan again, "But the strangest thing is that you kid, the old man can't even see your cultivation, it's really a strange thing." (To be continued.) )
