56. Get together
After a while, Chen Zheng Shi Ran walked out of the Foreign Affairs Hall.
Although Qi Gang's revelation of Xu Jiehu's death was surprising, it did not have much impact on him.
After all, according to the canon, Xu Jiehu's death is completely self-inflicted, and he will not be a little half responsible as a counterattacker.
Even if Qi Gang doesn't like him, it will be difficult to use the topic to play in the end, so he can only play tricks.
"This place is getting more and more unbearable, and the matter of running away must be hurried......"
Chen Zheng had already made up his mind in his heart, and he was ready to finally collect the medicinal materials of the marrow tonic soup, and immediately run away after improving his cultivation again.
Here, though, he seems to be mixing well.
But as a modern person with three views online, the identity of a cultist has always made him feel like a fish in his throat.
What's more, with the Emperor Jade, his cultivation strength is increasing at a speed like riding a rocket, and it is becoming more and more difficult to hide.
One step or two ahead is a genius, and ten steps ahead is a monster.
Now that he is in practice, he is suspicious, or it won't be long before his cultivation goes further, and if he is seen again, I am afraid that he will have to face a huge crisis.
In such a situation, where can he stay longer?
......
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
From the second day after returning to the stronghold, Chen Zheng took Wu San, He Daming, and Zhao Wu to enter the mountains and forests again after a month and began to hunt.
The three of them had already been informed of the few medicinal herbs they needed, and when they learned that Chen Zheng was in urgent need, the three of them also tried their best to keep an eye on the search all the way.
Because they learned the growth habits of those medicinal materials from Zheng Desheng, they gained something after half a day's effort, and collected the three-flavor medicinal materials in the marrow tonic soup.
It even includes one of the most important main materials, asparagus.
This flavor medicine is not a rare medicinal material, it was discovered by the sharp-eyed Zhao Wu after going deep into the mountains and forests, so that Chen Zheng picked a large handful, enough to decoction several copies.
And in addition to these medicinal herbs, they also have a slight harvest in hunting, a few pheasants and hares, and they are not empty-handed.
Then, day three, day four, day five.
There was no break in between, and Chen Zheng led the team into the mountains for several days in a row, searching frantically.
Although Wu San and the others felt a little strange after working hard, they didn't think much about it, and cooperated to find medicinal materials for them.
There is strength in numbers.
For seven or eight days in a row, the medicinal herbs of the same flavor were collected one after another, and even the second main material of the deer antler velvet was also able to start because they hunted two red deer.
In this way, the medicinal materials of Chen Zheng's marrow tonic formula are only left with the last taste, wolf marrow!
But when this taste of wolf marrow is missing, it seems that God is against it.
From the first day of entering the mountain to the next few days when other medicinal materials are gathered, it is half a month.
Don't say it's a wild wolf in the mountains and forests, even the wolf paw prints haven't seen a single one.
Chen Zheng was not discouraged.
But after entering the mountain for more than ten days in a row, although Wu San and the others gained something every day, and even completed a lot of the assigned tasks, they were also a little slack and depressed.
That is, now Chen Zheng's prestige is extraordinary, and the three of them work hard and dare not complain about anything.
And this day.
There was no delay on the way because of herb collection or other reasons, and everyone went deep into the mountains and forests for nearly ten miles early, reaching the farthest range they explored on weekdays.
The dense forest was deep, and sporadic sunlight sprinkled through the cracks in the forest, Wu San looked deeper into the forest and hesitated:
"Brother Zheng, we have never gone deep in the future, do you really want to go in?"
There is no trace of prey, so naturally he can only explore and try it in depth, Chen Zheng did not hesitate much, and waved his hand:
"It's almost a wolf marrow, as long as you find everyone, you can rest for a few days, and the bear bile wine I brewed will also be taken out to treat the three of you."
Bear bile wine is naturally soaked by Chen Zheng when he entered the mountain in the first month, and it is time to open the altar.
When Wu San and the others heard this, they suddenly came to their senses, and immediately followed Chen Zheng in depth.
At this distance, the general hunting team will turn back, that is, Chen Zheng is now a master of art and bold, so he dares to lead the team to try his luck.
And it seems to be finally time to get moving.
Everyone was vigilant and went deeper, and after only two or three miles of division and search, He Daming, who was on the far right, was the first to find traces in the increasingly dark forest, and shouted in a low voice:
"Brother Zheng, there are traces on my side!"
When Chen Zheng heard this, he quickly arrived, and saw that between the soft and damp soil under He Daming's feet, there were scattered paw prints, and the shape was the genus of mountain wolves and wild wolves.
"Paw prints are new, they should have just passed through here!"
The current Chen Zheng is also a seasoned hunter and mountain guest, and he came to a conclusion at the first time:
"Let's go!"
Finally seeing hope, the group of people quickly followed the paw prints, and after chasing for almost a mile, they finally found the target in the deep forest ahead.
You can see a dense forest among the leaves, and a mountain stream passes in front of you.
On both sides of the stream, several gray wolves with shiny hair drank water and looked around vigilantly.
However, it seemed that they heard something in this silent forest, and before Chen Zheng and the others could get closer, they suddenly looked in the direction where everyone was coming, and then ran behind them like flying.
However, Chen Zheng is waiting for the last wolf marrow now, how can he allow them to escape?
Hula!
At the same time, the wind howled violently, the branches of the forest twitched violently, and his figure flew out like an arrow shot from a strong bow and a crossbow, flashing through the forest like lightning.
Behind him, Wu San, He Daming, and Zhao Wu were only a beat slower, but they couldn't see Chen Zheng's figure in two or three blinks of an eye, and they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Whew......
Ahead, the wild wolves that sensed the danger ran wildly, and the speed was as fast as sharp arrows;
In the rear, Fengyun Phantom Step combined with the strong physical explosiveness, Chen Zheng's soaring figure quickly approached several prey in front of him in the forest.
"Whew!"
A mere beast, no matter how desperately he runs, it is obviously impossible to outrun the current Chen Zheng, only a dozen or so breaths later, with a wail, a strong gray wolf was pinched by the back of the neck by Chen Zheng, who was catching up, and directly lifted up.
This gray wolf has sharp claws and teeth, strong muscles and strong bones, and a fierce spirit, not to mention a hundred pounds.
However, in his hands, at this moment, he was like a little chick that had been caught, and he could only scream and flutter and struggle.
"Hahahaha......"
The last taste of medicinal materials was finally gathered, and Chen Zheng couldn't help laughing:
"Damn it, finally let me catch you!"
As soon as the words fell.
Oh! Oh!
Two more terrible beast roars came from the front, and it seemed that the other two gray wolves who had fled in front of them had encountered some more ferocious beast, and the sound of death was made.
Well?
What is it?
Chen Zheng suddenly became interested, and immediately pinched off the limbs of the gray wolf in his hand, and blocked the wolf's mouth with branches and leaves.
Then he pressed the knife in one hand, held the prey in the other, and quietly touched in the direction where the sound came from.
