This time into the mountain, Chen Zheng and the other four seemed to be a lot more proficient, and it didn't take long to cross the two mountains and enter the depths of the reckless mountain forest.

This time, the route he took was similar to the last time, and along the way, Chen Zheng looked around, mainly looking for medicinal herbs that might grow under trees, shrubs, and rocks.

He didn't expect to find a great tonic like wild ginseng at once like last time.

In fact, the mountain is rich in resources, as well as many common herbs such as angelica, schisandra, astragalus, yam, etc., which also have the function of replenishing qi and blood, and collecting more is not small for practicing martial arts.

And after a morning, although he didn't encounter any large prey, he did pick several herbs that could replenish qi and blood, and it can be said that he had gained a lot.

It's noon in the blink of an eye.

Shout!

A sharp whistling sound sounded in the dense forest, and in the dense and deep mountain forest, I saw a wild pheasant with colorful tail feathers fluttering down from the treetops.

Immediately afterwards, Wu San swept out from behind the tree more than twenty steps away, grabbed the wild pheasant that was still fluttering, twisted his neck, and turned around

"Zhao Wu, well done!"

"Brother Zheng, we're finally open!"

Chen Zheng watched Wu San bring back the wild pheasant, which was no more than six or seven catties at most, and couldn't help but sigh.

This wild pheasant was still shot by Zhao Wu, who was skilled in bow shooting, but after a full morning, they had hunted such a prey in addition to some herbs and berries in their cloth pockets.

Most of the time hunting can only depend on luck, and seeing that everyone is a little tired, he waved his hand gently:

"Alright, let's take a break here."

The dense forest was deep, the light was dappled, and it was noon, so everyone found a fairly clean place to stop and rest, and began to eat and replenish their strength.

This time, everyone brought dried and smoked wild boar meat as dry food, and then the mountain spring water in the water bag was quite pleasant to eat.

"This mountain forest is really big enough."

Zhao Wu poured a large mouthful of water and said while eating:

"Brother Zheng, you said that if we just run away like this, the sect probably won't be able to find it, right?"

"Not to mention whether you can find it, where can you go if you run away?"

Chen Zheng heard something and played with taste:

"People like us, not only is the world intolerable, everyone shouts and beats, the alienation of the key body needs to be controlled, and there are no follow-up exercises and resources of the Divine Sect, what should we do?"

Zhao Wu was silent for a moment: "What Brother Zheng said is true. ”

Wu San was a little surprised by Chen Zheng's words, and hesitated:

"Zhao Wu, don't have crooked thoughts. The Cult of God is actually not bad for us. In other places, mud-legged people like us, let alone practicing martial arts, even if they have enough to eat, it is a problem, and they have to make cattle and horses for those old men.

Now not only can I eat enough, but also practice martial arts, although the alienation is a bit weird, but there is a way to control it after all. And if you mix it well, you can get a more advanced martial arts mastery, isn't it stronger than before? ”

Even He Daming, who doesn't like to talk, said slowly:

"Yes, my family used to farm for the lord of the town, but it turned out that they worked hard all year round, and they couldn't even get enough food. As a result, in the famine year, three of our family starved to death, and I was the only one who escaped from the famine.

If I had the ability I have now, I would have chopped off the head of the landlord first, and snatched the food, so that my father and sister would not starve to death. ”

The cruel past was said in a flat tone, and Chen Zheng couldn't help but look sideways in surprise and thoughtfully.

This world is weird and cruel, and most of the people at the bottom live in dire straits.

In his opinion, the Tianmu Divine Sect was an extremely strange cult, but in the eyes of the miserable bottoms like Wu San and He Daming, it was obviously a different picture.

They may also know that pollution and alienation are not a good thing, but in the face of extreme hunger, oppression, and precariousness, it is clear that surviving is the top priority, not to mention the opportunity to practice martial arts.

After listening to the words of the two, Zhao Wu smiled a little reluctantly:

"Don't get me wrong, two big brothers, I just said it casually, I don't mean anything else, how dare I defect with my little ability?"

"Regardless of the deeds."

Chen Zheng didn't care:

"But it's better not to say some things casually, let people listen to it will cause big trouble, if you really get tired of staying in the mountains, you can step up your cultivation, and when you have the qualifications, you can apply for an expatriate mission, which is also a direction."

"Brother Zheng, if you want me to say that it is most comfortable to stay in the mountains."

Wu San said:

"I've heard that the mission is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you may be discovered by the people of the Evil Division. These Heavenly Eagle Dogs are powerful and cruel, once they catch us, they will be tortured, and after collecting information, they will either be beheaded for public display, or they will dig out their hearts and lungs, and they will be executed for a long time, and none of them will survive. ”

Wu San said that his face changed slightly, and Chen Zheng couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

The Evil Division is a special institution set up in the major state capitals of the Guangwu Heavenly Dynasty, with a strong foundation and many martial arts masters.

The Division of Evil Punishment is mainly responsible for dealing with all kinds of strange and terrifying evil events, so that the safety of the city has a basic guarantee.

The second duty is to investigate and exterminate all kinds of cults and heretical people who believe in evil doctrines and use the power of evil to rebel and cause trouble.

Nowadays, strange and frequent, the world collapses, and all kinds of sects that believe in strange things rise and fall, and the Tianmu Divine Sect can only be regarded as one of the more famous.

But no matter what kind of sect the members are, if they are caught by the Evil Division, there is only one end:

It's death!

It is precisely because of this that Chen Zheng did not think about running away immediately, but accumulated strength and planned slowly.

Wu San didn't know anything, and continued to pretend:

"Also, you may not know, but it is said that the eagle dogs of the Evil Division call us people Inhumans. Once caught, you will be picked off on the spot, your jaw bone will be removed, and then ......"

"That's it!"

The more I listened, the worse the mood became, and the more dull the atmosphere became, Chen Zheng frowned and got up to interrupt:

"Get to work!"

Wu San was stunned for a moment, and when he saw He Daming and Zhao Wu's not very good-looking expression, he got up embarrassedly and gave himself a small slap:

"I'm sorry Brother Zheng, look at my ......"

Wu Sanren is also clever, but he can't control his mouth, Chen Zheng didn't bother to reprimand, and immediately waved his hand to lead everyone to continue to go deeper, looking for prey.

Unfortunately, however, they did not carry on the good fortune of the last time.

For nearly two hours, except for two pheasants, everyone did not encounter any decent prey along the way, as if the living creatures in the mountains were extinct.

At this time, the sun had begun to set in the west, and Chen Zheng, who knew that it was impossible to have a big harvest every time, waved helplessly, and led everyone back.

Compared with the hardships of the last time, the return trip of the four people who were empty-handed was much easier, and they returned to the stronghold without blushing or panting.

When he came back, it was already dark, and although there were not many loot, he had to roughly divide one point, so like last time, Chen Zheng led everyone back to his small courtyard directly.

And when he walked to the door of his small courtyard, his eyes suddenly changed.

Because in the night, he saw that the courtyard door and the door inside that he had locked before going out were open at this moment, as if someone had broken in while he was away!
