Ye Chen's face was gloomy, at such a critical juncture, the five warriors actually took care of themselves, the scene was at a stalemate for a while, the screams of the snakes approached quickly, and some people gradually became restless.

After another moment, the young beast master spoke: "This old man is the employer of our team, I can still hold on, let me carry it." ”

After finishing speaking, the young beast master walked towards the old man, but everyone could see that his body did not last long at all, the snake hiss was much closer, and the time was even more urgent, Ye Chen sighed, walked towards the old man, and at the same time beckoned to Tie Dan'er, pointing at the young beast master and his contract demon snake.

Tie Dan'er let out a reluctant roar, but still ran to the young beast master's side, slammed it hard against his back, and picked up the demon snake in his mouth and waited to go.

And Ye Chen nodded slightly to the old man, turned around and recited it and said in a deep voice: "Command the demon snake to guide the way, we will leave here as soon as possible, we will all take care of ourselves, and those who fall behind will ask for more blessings." ”

Regardless of the different expressions of the five warriors, Ye Chen and Tie Dan'er took the lead and walked forward, the big stubble warrior shook his head lightly and stepped to follow, and the others also set off one after another.

The location of Ye Chen and the others belongs to the upper area of the tunnel, except for the menacing snakes behind them, the way out ahead is exceptionally clean, after a long time of galloping, the snakes have been thrown away a lot, and the people who are burdened are tired and sweating all over their bodies, even Ye Chen is no exception.

After a short time of continuing to move forward, after passing two forks in the road, the stubble warrior suddenly laughed and shouted, "Here are the marks I made, and we are not far from the ground." ”

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the voice, Ye Chen put down the old man and rested against the rock wall, and the family of the big stubble warrior and the young beast master all gathered around.

The big stubble warrior took the lead in holding his fists and said: "My name is Guo Ming, this is the insider Su Lan, thank you to the benefactor for saving me twice, please tell me the name, and let Guo Ming repay you in the future." ”

Immediately, the young beast master also chimed in: "My name is Shen Huaizhong, thank you little brother for rescuing and taking care of you, even if you open your mouth if you have any use, you will definitely go to the soup and fire." ”

Ye Chen came and went in a hurry and didn't pay much attention to it, but when he looked carefully, Guo Ming was tall and strong, with a simple smile on his face full of stubble, Su Lan had a good face and a gentle temperament, bowed his head slightly, and the couple looked like they were in their thirties, and they were all black iron level mercenaries.

As for Shen Huaizhong, he is less than twenty at first glance, his figure is thin and loyal, and the badge on his chest is the same as Ye Chen, whether it is Guo Ming sacrificing himself as his wife and children, or Shen Huaizhong has the courage to take responsibility, it makes Ye Chen feel good.

Ye Chen smiled and nodded back to clench his fists: "Under the nickname Steel Dan'er, how can you see death without saving it if you can do it, don't worry about it when you raise your hand." ”

As soon as the words landed, Guo Ming couldn't help laughing loudly, stretched out his big hand and patted Ye Chen's shoulder, and then, Ye Chen, Shen Huaizhong, and even Su Lan also laughed out loud, and the atmosphere was harmonious and showed his true temperament.

"You are really temperamental, can you not give up, count the old man and have fun alone!"

When everyone heard the voice, they saw that the speaker was the old man.

The old man was wearing a plain robe, although he was old, he was straight, his hair was neat and his face was upright, which invisibly gave people a sense of peace and elegance, and when Ye Chen inadvertently looked at the old man, he inexplicably gave birth to a sense of reverence, as if he had seen Mr. Teaching when he was young.

Ye Chen has been naughty since he was a child and didn't like to read, so he hurriedly looked away from the pressure, bowed his head slightly, and saluted: "The old man is serious, meeting is fate, why abandon it or not." ”

The old man looked approving, and nodded heavily: "A good encounter is fate, the little friend of Steel Egg is really extraordinary, he needs to remember this sentence every day, old man, Master Zhou is also." ”

Sure enough, it was a teaching gentleman, Ye Chen couldn't help but secretly say, and he didn't forget to give another student salute in his hand, but he didn't notice why a good teacher would come here, and how could he be respectful with his current strength.

After a short rest, everyone was ready to set off again, seven warriors on the side, the earth magician and the beast master, nine people belonged to two mercenary teams, since the danger had passed and wanted to part ways, two representatives were sent to send financial rewards, Ye Chen was not polite, accepted the twenty-two demon snake galls, and politely declined the rest of the property, which was also considered a good gathering and dispersal.

Under the leadership of Guo Ming, Ye Chen and the others were relaxed and warm along the way, the funniest thing is that the big tiger and the second tiger followed Ye Chen's side and called his brother, but Guo Ming called Ye Chen the little brother, which embarrassed Su Lan, Shen Huaizhong was a little wooden and chuckled, and Zhou Fuzi's long beard was uninhibited.

Soon after the march, the bright sunshine at the mouth of the cave appeared in front of them, by the big tiger, the second tiger, the beginning, everyone couldn't help cheering, Su Lan was even more joyful and cried, threw herself into her husband's arms, made Guo Ming, a big man with a red face, and walked out of the rock road one after another after laughing.

The sun was high in the sky, the people around the Hundred Eyes Cave were crowded, the wounded abounded, and the dead were not uncommon, the cries and curses were mixed with each other, and the people around Ye Chen couldn't help but be more grateful, and at this moment, shouts came from behind everyone.

"Shen Huaizhong, I said that when I saw you, they still didn't believe it, yo he, even Lao Zhou is here, not bad, let's go back and hand in the task."

Looking for prestige, a team of five people is walking towards this side, the speaker is tall and pockmarked with a face, the combination of three warriors and two magicians can be called luxurious, and all black iron level mercenaries are extremely arrogant.

Ye Chen retracted his gaze and looked at Shen Huaizhong, only to see that his eyes were tense with hatred, but he quickly suppressed it again, and turned to face the person with a gloomy face.

"Zhang Yang, if Zhou Lao wants you to go together, the task doesn't have to be my share, I will quit Hongtu Restaurant as soon as I go back."

Shen Huaizhong's tone was firm, and then he saluted to Master Zhou, and whispered: "Old Zhou, you still have to go with them to understand the task, otherwise there will be trouble." ”

Zhou Fuzi smiled and nodded, took two steps and stopped his figure, and said to Ye Chen inexplicably: "This son is resolute and loyal, and his future achievements may not be high, but it is definitely a rare help, little friend, goodbye." ”

Seeing Master Zhou coming to his side, Zhang Yangpi smiled but didn't smile: "Shen Huaizhong, if you don't use that waste snake, Lao Tzu won't be too lazy to look at you, and remember to take a detour when you see us in the future, otherwise, see you once, fight once." ”

Looking at the disdainful smiling faces of Zhang Yang and the others, Guo Ming rolled up his sleeves and was about to beat someone, but fortunately, Su Lan pulled it in time, Shen Huaizhong laughed it off, and turned around to persuade Guo Ming.

As for Ye Chen, he never looked at the five people from beginning to end, his slightly squinted eyes stared at the back of Master Zhou, and he repeatedly recalled the last paragraph in his mind, until someone inquired from the side before he came back to his senses.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Steelball?"

The person who spoke was a raw face with a bronze mercenary badge on his chest.

Ye Chen frowned slightly and asked, "I'm Gangdan'er, what's the matter with you?" ”

The person in front of him was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly replied: "Xu Yiming from the mercenary branch asked me to inform you that there is a change in the Giant Tavern, return quickly, and say that you will pay me a gold coin." ”

At the end of this person's words, his voice became quieter, but he immediately opened his eyes, because Ye Chen did not hesitate to give him a gold coin, and when he came back to his senses and wanted to thank him, he could not find Ye Chen's figure.

Ye Chen's speed was too fast, Guo Ming couldn't catch up with his family at all, just as he was in a hurry, Shen Huaizhong woke up the dreamer with a word, and immediately went to the mercenary branch to find Xu Yiming.

Running all the way, Ye Chen rushed into the east gate of Wanglai Town in the evening, and returned to the Giant Tavern non-stop, and as soon as he entered the gate, he heard Hu Fei'er crying bitterly, and flashed to the counter and asked loudly: "What happened?" What happened to the tavern? ”

Hu Fei'er was frightened, and when she saw that it was Ye Chen, she cried even louder, until Ye Chen's face sank like water, and she sobbed and said: "Dogs, dogs, all of them, lost." ”

I ...... so much, Ye Chen almost turned his back on his breath, seeing Hu Fei'er so sad, he really thought that Granny Hu's condition had changed suddenly, and she was tired of breathing, so she slowed down for half an hour before she panted evenly, flicked a finger on Hu Fei'er's forehead, and turned around and walked towards the firewood room.

"Squeak", Ye Chen pushed open the wooden door of the firewood room and walked inside, and saw at a glance that the three girls were lying in the corner together listless, Laifu stared at himself very anxiously, and the little milk dog's nest was empty.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Ye Chen asked without looking back, "When did you lose it?" Any clues? ”

"Just, it's you, after you go, that night."

Hu Fei'er stopped crying, covered her forehead and twitched back, followed by Laifu brought a piece of black cloth from the side.

Hand the black cloth to Tie Dan'er to identify the smell, Ye Chen asked about the specific situation in detail, it is said that the night was very peaceful, Laifu's family slept very dead, Hu Fei'er came to deliver meat in the morning only to find that the little milk dog was missing, and Sanya, who was woken up, almost attacked, but fortunately, Laifu stopped it in time.

Ye Chen thought about the known situation, and Tie Dan'er just happened to find something, but he couldn't resist Laifu and insisted on following, one person and three beasts walked out of the tavern, and walked all the way to the south of the town, the giant tavern was located in the north of the town, and the Hongtu Restaurant was in the south.

Hongtu Restaurant occupies a wide area, the three-storey layout of the restaurant faces the east of the street, and the courtyard of the west is distributed with more than 30 houses of all kinds.

Next to a big tree in the northwest corner of the courtyard, Ye Chen, Ziyi, and Laifu all stared at the iron egg that was sniffing around, and they didn't see any change in it for a long time, so they could only accept the truth with a wry smile, and the smell trail was interrupted.

In fact, it's no wonder that Tie Dan'er, after two days, there are many changes, if it weren't for the thieves all the way up and down the smell and little adulteration, maybe even here may not be found, and then you can only wait for the situation to search, however, one thing has been confirmed, the theft of the little milk dog is the revenge of Hongtu Restaurant.

The moon was hanging high, and the lights in the courtyard were extinguished twice, Ye Chen climbed the big tree and looked around, and soon locked the southwest corner of the courtyard, a big house next to the courtyard wall was brightly lit, but it was pitch black around it.

Under normal circumstances, the big houses in this kind of corner are used to pile up sundries, and it is still brightly lit at night, how can people not care, as they gradually get closer, they faintly hear the sound of fists and wine.

Ye Chen bowed down and came to the window of the big house, signaled the three beasts not to make a sound, stood up slowly, peeked into the house through the crack in the window, and saw a man and a woman drinking together, and listening carefully to the words of the two, they should be a couple.

His eyes wandered around the room, and when he glanced at the big flower pot in the corner, Ye Chen's eyes couldn't take his eyes off anymore, and he couldn't help but say secretly in his heart.

"Hypnotic Magic Flower", "Parasitic Magic Vine".
