Chapter 43: Departure to the Netherworld

The Netherworld Forest is the gateway to the Godforsaken Lands, and there are all kinds of dangers lurking inside—monsters, poisonous insects, miasma, mutated plants and trees...... One of the most terrifying is the large and small "spatial cracks" distributed in the forest, which are formless and phaseless, difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and once encountered, there are no bones left.

Only veteran hunters who know the forest know how to avoid these deadly traps that hide invisibly.

The Double Wolf Hunting Regiment is one of the top hunting groups in Western Liao City, with the spell master Jing Feng and the strongest warrior Chiyang in charge, easily avoiding the nests of large beasts and the dangerous area infested with poisonous insects.

The first few days had been very smooth.

Miss Gao did not feel any dangerous atmosphere, as if she was going out on an outing, complaining that the humidity was too heavy, the quilt was not comfortable enough, the food was unpalatable, and the blades of grass scratched her delicate skin.

Her archery accuracy was mediocre, but each shot won a mountain of applause from her minions, and later the hunters joined in the applause, and the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic.

Jiang Chen was silently observing the demeanor of these hunters.

He always suspected that the man in black last night was an inner ghost, hiding among this group of hunters.

After a few days of observation, he also gradually became familiar with the main members of the Double Wolf Hunting Group-

Grand Master Jing Feng, a fifth-order "Jiedan" realm qi practitioner, is good at spells, has changeable methods, and is a powerful character, but his attitude towards Jiang Chen is relatively cold, and Jiang Chen doesn't like to talk to him.

Chiyang, the leader of the second regiment, is a powerful mad-blooded warrior, the absolute main force of the hunting group, and the sixth-order "blood-moving" physique, which can even approach the seventh-order "Xuangang" after stimulating the boiling bloodline. Although Jiang Chen was very familiar with him, he hadn't seen him really go all out.

The Grand Master's wife, Du Qibo, the physician in the hunting group, has an easy-going and gentle temperament, and treats Jiang Chen quite warmly.

"Nightmare Hunter" Duan Fei, a fourth-order "Quenching Bone" realm swordsman, a loyal follower of the Grand Master, and a scheming person, likes to point fingers at Jiang Chen in a condescending tone.

"Twin Wolf Hunter" Gao An, a third-order "Yijin" realm hunter, raised two fierce blue wolves, one of the veterans of the hunting group, and it is said that the name of the double wolf hunting group was derived from his two blue wolves. On weekdays, he is seen muttering alone with two wolves, and rarely communicates with others.

"Wind Chasing Hunter" He Wen, a third-order "Yi Jin" realm archer, has superb archery skills, and is known as a hundred steps through Yang.

"Song Hunter" Su Hua, a third-order "Yi Jin" realm swordsman, is said to be a side branch of the Su family in the Seven Great Families, and has learned one of the two styles in the Su family's peerless "Sacrificial Dragon Emperor Fist", and likes to yell when fighting, although the lethality is not very good, but the momentum is amazing.

"Dragon Lance Hunter" Shi Dinghai, a third-order "Yi Tendon" realm gunner, makes a long spear, old-fashioned and silent, premature and decrepit, and looks like a hermit master.

Judging from everyone's body shape and walking posture, Jiang Chen initially suspected that the man in black who was most similar to the man in black last night was the "Nightmare Hunter" Duan Fei. Only the fourth-order "quenching bone" realm can calmly leave after the blame.

Jiang Chen was going to observe for a few more days, collect some more evidence, and then tell Chiyang about it.

After five or six days of trekking, the group gradually came to the depths of the forest, where hidden dangers were endless, and even with the guidance of experienced veteran hunters, they could not be as relaxed as the previous days.

After being attacked by a wave of man-eating ants, Miss Gao lost two male servants and a maidservant, and she saw the horror of the forest with her own eyes, and her whole body was greatly shaken, and since then she has restrained a lot, and no longer complains about the unpalatable food and the stones.

The number of attacks from wild beasts is increasing, and everyone is tense and on the lookout for unknown dangers.

Another night fell, Jiang Chen set up a tent and got in early.

Today he opened the way on the right side of the team, and encountered four attacks, the Spirit Fire Fox, the Man-Eating Snake, the Demon Custier, and the Shadowless Worm, each of which was difficult to deal with, making him physically and mentally exhausted, and he just wanted to fall asleep.

But some people didn't let him get his wish.

"Knock knock!" The tent was gently tapped.

Jiang Chen woke up suddenly, grabbed the dagger by the pillow and stuffed it into his sleeve.

"Who's out there?"

"I, Duan Fei." The person outside replied.

"It's so late, what's the matter with me?" Jiang Chen was puzzled in his heart, could Duan Fei see that I was suspicious of him, so he wanted to kill him in private?

"Miss Gao is looking for you, you come with me!" Duan Fei said in a commanding tone, "Remember to wash your face, don't be rude in front of Miss Gao!" ”

Jiang Chen is even more vigilant - he has been in charge of the periphery for the past few days, and basically has not met with Miss Gao, why is Miss Gao looking for me? Could it be that this kid is wicked and sued first, and he was beaten in front of Miss Gao......

"Hurry up, don't make Miss Gao wait for a long time!" Duan Fei urged.

"Here we are."

Jiang Chen wiped his face with a water bladder and followed Duan Fei slowly.

At this time, most of the people had already slept, only a few attendants were on guard, and in the dead of night, the sound of insects was lonely, and the gloomy atmosphere deepened the inexplicable thoughts in Jiang Chen's heart.

The back of the lewd thief a few nights ago is really similar to Duan Fei......

Does he want to repeat his old tricks and frame Ben Shaoxia again?

Duan Fei's footsteps were very light, and only when he came to the outside of Miss Gao's tent, he deliberately increased it a few points.

"Quick, come in!" Miss Gao opened the curtain and looked impatient.

Jiang Chen walked in and found that Miss Gao's tent was really different from that of his little hunter, it was magnificent, comfortable, and it was also heated by spirit stones, warm and dry, it was simply Elysium.

There were two maids standing next to the tent, and although their eyes were not friendly, they did not have any murderous intent.

It seems that it is not a frame-up, nor is it the East Window incident a few days ago......

When Jiang Chen was observing the tent, Miss Gao was urging: "Quick, take it out and take a look!" ”

"What's that?" Jiang Chen was stunned.

"Baby! Don't grind, hurry! ”

"Huh? What baby? After the edification of the Peach Blossom Assassin, Jiang Chen almost thought crookedly.

"That jade pendant of yours! What's stingy, show me quickly! ”

Jiang Chen's heart sank, how did Miss Gao know about her jade pendant? In the past few days, he has heeded Chiyang's reminder and put away the jade pendant a long time ago!

He glanced at Duan Fei's face.

Duan Fei had a grinning expression on his face: "Xiao Jiang, don't be reluctant, this is a great thing, Miss Gao will definitely not let you suffer." ”

"I don't understand what you mean, and I don't have any jade pendants." Jiang Chen shook his head and decided not to admit it.

"Boy, who are you fooling!" Duan Fei's voice suddenly became loud, "Miss Gao wants to see your jade pendant, that's to give you face, don't be embarrassed!" ”

Jiang Chen looked dazed: "I don't have any jade pendants at all, are you mistaken?" ”

Miss Gao frowned, and glanced at Duan Fei: "Have you figured it out?" ”

"There's no wrong with that!" Duan Fei hurriedly said, "There was a lot of uproar that day, and the three major thieves of Western Liao were all dispatched, and they also alarmed Wu Lian, and almost fought with Chiyang!" ”
