Since the last precious expedition experience, Zhou Chen has learned the truth of caution and step-by-step.

Experiment step by step in the primeval mountains, and stay away from other adventurers, and avoid fights and fights from afar. But even so, Zhou Chen has also seen a lot of cruel truths outside, and his knowledge has greatly increased!

It's not just the treacherous environment around you, sometimes an insect, or an unknown poisonous weed, or a poisonous snake that comes out of nowhere, can bring a deadly crisis, let alone a ferocious beast hiding in the depths.

More often than not, here, it is more important to pay attention to the unfathomable human heart!

But anyone who can come here has some housekeeping skills, of course, except for Zhou Chen, who came here! Compared to going deeper into the primeval mountains, this is already the outer periphery. Therefore, most of the people who can come out alive should have some gains.

The benefits are moving! As long as you can take the loot out of here and return to Ping'an Town, then this trip is worth it!

Therefore, it is not uncommon for partners who can still resist the enemy together inside to come here, deceive, betray, stab knives in the back, and set traps and ambushes on the periphery. The strong bully the weak, the big bully the small, all kinds of means are used to the extreme, and the sinister nature of the human heart is vividly interpreted here!

As for coming here, did you have a stunned head with a warm heart? Of course, there are, but to be able to come out of the primordial mountain range alive, Zhou Chen has basically never seen it much anyway.

Over the years, Zhou Chen has only encountered it once in the periphery. That's a big boy from Xiyue City, I don't know what kind of wind he smoked to come here, look left, look right, it's completely a little cute. When he first entered, Zhou Chen could still glimpse the excited and curious expression on the other party's face from a distance, surrounded by guards on the inner and outer three floors, followed by an old man who was not smiling, and he could feel a sense of oppression in the distance, and at first glance it was an old man with extraordinary strength!

However, when Zhou Chen saw them again in the town, the child's face was completely devoid of the ease and expectation he had when he went in before, but instead a solemn and worried face. The guards who followed around were also much less shadowy, and all that was left was a dejected look. In particular, Zhou Chen noticed that the old man who was guarding before had a lot of blood stains on his body, and even the sleeve of one of his arms was empty!

Since then, Zhou Chen has always warned himself that he must be cautious and cautious! But even so, there are times when horses stumble and often come here, how can they not encounter problems?

When cleaning the 'battlefield' and harvesting the loot, that is, when the opponent finished fighting and went up to pick up the leaks, commonly known as 'touching the corpse', "cough~" A serious coughing sound came from the side.

Zhou Chen was suddenly startled, and turned around to see that in the grass next to him, a middle-aged man was slowly getting up and leaning against the big tree next to him.

"Ahem~ Little brother, you~ Don't be afraid, I~ I'm a good person! Ahem~" The middle-aged man said kindly, "I was attacked by someone and was seriously injured, can you help me?" "I have money, it's in the inn in the town, I'll repay you well, cough cough~"

A trace of hesitation flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes, but he became firm in an instant.

"Good! But boy, my strength is low, I'm afraid I can't lift you. Well, I'll go back and find some more people to come back and help you! ”

Just as Zhou Chen turned around and was about to leave, suddenly, a strong danger came from behind him, and with the instinct of his body, he rolled to the side with his head on one side.

'Whoosh~' A fierce wind passed through his ears dangerously, bringing down a few strands of hair.

"Whew~ It's dangerous!" A few drops of sweat broke out on Zhou Chen's forehead, and he looked like he had palpitations.

"Boy, how can you refuse here? You'd better be obedient, otherwise, I don't guarantee you good luck this time! cough~"At this time, where did the middle-aged man still have the kindness just now, replaced by a hideous and painful face.

Zhou Chen looked at the pocket-shaped hidden weapon in the other party's hand facing him, and he only felt a solemnity in his heart.

"Ahem~ Come here! Take me back to Ping'an Town~ Quick! The middle-aged man threatened with a slight urgency, his eyes full of murderous aura.

Zhou Chen felt that the air around him was almost stagnant, he stood up, and could only walk towards the middle-aged man step by step. As the distance between the two became closer and closer, I don't know why, Zhou Chen's heart became more and more calm.

"Okay, don't get excited, I'll come here! If you kill me now, you won't survive here! ”

The distance between the two was only seven steps, six steps, five steps······ Zhou Chen became more and more nervous, but his pace was not chaotic at all, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the middle-aged man.

"Okay, I'll help you up first, and then I'll carry you back!" Zhou Chen slowly stretched out his right hand and prepared to pull up the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man heard Zhou Chen's words, watched Zhou Chen's movements relax slightly, and blinked his eyes.

At this moment, Zhou Chen leaned over and shouted, "Be careful!" At the same time, his left hand scattered the lime that had been prepared at the moment he had just landed.

"Ah~" The middle-aged man suddenly let out a miserable scream, "Damn boy, I'm going to kill you and hurt me!" ”

After a while, the middle-aged man's voice became lower and lower, and gradually there was no sound.

Zhou Chen lay on the ground next to him for a while, and after making sure that there was no voice from the middle-aged man, he gradually got closer, found a few big stones and smashed them on the middle-aged man's body, and only after confirming that the other party did not move, did he walk over.

Zhou Chen put his finger between the other party's snorts, and after making sure that the other party was not breathing, he exhaled fiercely. He didn't notice that his forehead was already covered with sweat.

Zhou Chen got up and stumbled to the ground, with a relieved smile on his face, "Ha~ After all, I won the bet!" ”

After a long while, Zhou Chen rested and picked up the hidden weapon that the middle-aged man had just dropped on the ground. "Damn, this old fox!" It turned out that as early as in the previous battle, the middle-aged man's means were almost used, and just now it was already his last hidden weapon!

After Zhou Chen packed up his loot, he hurriedly mustered up his remaining strength and ran towards the town. What he didn't notice, though, was that after he left, a somewhat familiar shadow flashed from a large tree.

······

When he returned home, Zhou Chen closed the door, and suddenly felt a little afraid, so he lay down on his small bed and fell asleep deeply.
