"You're alone? Get rid of the Bloodmaned Bear? ”

All the disciples were stunned, and then there was a burst of laughter.

"Who do you think you are, ugly ghost? Talk less! ”

"This kid is looking for death at all, let's ignore him."

Gu He also sneered: "You don't think that if you win the inner door selection, you will really be amazing, right?" ”

"Still want to deal with the bloodmane bear alone? If you want to die, I can borrow a sword for you to kill yourself, and you don't need to go to such trouble. ”

Su Xiao glanced at her lightly.

"Whether it is seeking death or not, it will soon be known. I'll set out to hunt the beast later. ”

Gu He didn't give up: "What if you can't find the blood-maned bear, or if you find it and are killed by it?" ”

Su Xiao stretched out three fingers.

"Three days."

"In three days, I will return."

Gu He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head.

"Good! I'll give you three days, and it will take time for those untouchables to scrape together money anyway. ”

"Three days later, if you don't come back, or if you fail to kill the Bloodmane Bear, I will use my way to collect taxes for the sect!"

Su Xiao didn't pay any more attention. He knew very well that Gu He and these Cloud Sword Sect disciples were only nominally assigned to him to obey the dispatch, but in fact they must have been sent by Liu Wushuang or Lu Dingjiang to prepare for the collection of taxes.

After all, although he was a disciple of the Sword Casting Hall on the surface, no one knew himself, or rather, the details of Tu Liu, except for sighing. Even if this kind of thing is left to himself, he will not be 100% at ease.

If he didn't do his job well, Gu He would definitely take other Cloud Sword Sect disciples to collect taxes from the people in a more radical way.

When the time comes, if you can't pay your taxes, you will cut off your feet, but it's not just talking!

Seeing Su Xiao's insistence, those disciples didn't say anything anymore, but almost everyone thought that Su Xiao was killing himself, and they were all waiting to see a good show.

Only Lu Meng was still trying to stop it: "Brother Liuzi, don't be impulsive!" The bloodmaned bear......"

Su Xiao just wanted to hurry up to solve this matter, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

Immediately, regardless of Lu Meng's obstruction, Su Xiao walked towards the outside of the courtyard, and suddenly stopped when he arrived at the door.

"I've communicated with a few mayors, you can rest here, but don't disturb the local people."

"If anyone is rude to them, they will not let me go when I return!"

After warning everyone in the Cloud Sword Sect, Su Xiao quietly glanced at Chen Qingshan in the crowd.

When he got on the horse in addition to the courtyard, Chen Qingshan also hurriedly followed.

"Master, what do you command?"

Su Xiao lowered his voice and instructed, "You go to contact Tianbao Pavilion in the name of these townspeople. Ask them, is a blood-maned bear's demon pill worth 10,000 taels? If they're smart, they'll know what to do. ”

After explaining, Su Xiao threw the reins and rode away.

Outside the dense forest mentioned by the three old men, Su Xiao got off the horse and patted the horse's neck.

"Wait for me here. Don't run around, or I won't be able to save you if you're eaten. ”

Su Xiao quickly went deep into the dense forest. According to the three old men, the blood-maned bear hadn't been seen for a while, and had been slightly injured the last time he destroyed the crops.

And such a high-level demon beast, with its spiritual intelligence almost equal to that of a human, will definitely find a relatively secluded place to recuperate after being injured. So the possibility of being on the periphery of the jungle is very small.

But at the same time, the injured monster will also be more alert, more likely to be provoked, and more dangerous than normal!

Su Xiao woke up and carefully observed every place he walked, for fear of ignoring any trace that might be related to the bloodmane bear.

When he was cultivating with the Burial Sword Man Tu Situ, Su Xiao was also thrown into such a dense forest to fight with demon beasts, and knew how to find and track them, and soon found something strange on a tree.

There were several shocking scratches on the thick trunk, and some blood-red hairs hung from the bark at a height of more than a person.

Su Xiao took off the hair and looked at it carefully, and it was basically certain that it was left by the bloodmane bear. They leave claw marks on trees and rub their backs against trees to leave their scents, marking their territory in this way to warn outsiders not to go deeper.

Obviously, Su Xiao had now stepped into the territory of the blood-maned bear. Judging from the paw prints and the position of the blood-red hair on the tree, the beast was probably as tall as two people when it stood, and it was definitely an adult.

To get rid of it, I'm afraid it won't be too easy.

Su Xiao frowned and thought about it, and suddenly turned his head sharply.

But there was nothing but woods and leaves.

Although he didn't find it, Su Xiao still had an inexplicable feeling that he was being watched, and there seemed to be someone ...... Staring at himself.

Shaking his head, Su Xiao secretly told himself to do the right thing first. Gather some vines and continue deeper into the dense forest, while looking for suitable places to set rope traps from time to time.

At this time, he regretted that he didn't bring the "broken army" out, traveling in this dense forest, it was very inconvenient to open the way without a knife, if he really met the blood-maned bear, without weapons, it would definitely be troublesome.

But now there are only three days, and I don't know how long it will take to go back to the Sword Casting Hall to get the knife and come back. Su Xiao could only choose to move on.

"Click!"

"Whoa—"

Su Xiao had just found a suitable place to set up another trap, when he suddenly heard the sound of the trap being triggered from the place he had just walked through!

"So fast?!"

Su Xiao was a little surprised, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the place where the sound came from. On the way, he also kicked off a thick stick, ready to use it as a weapon.

But when he looked over, he had triggered his trap and was hanging in the air...... It's Lu Meng!

"How are you?"

Lu Meng was also a little embarrassed, and scratched his head embarrassedly: "That...... Brother Liuzi, can you put me down first? ”

Helpless, Su Xiao had to save Lu Meng.

"What are you doing here? What if I run into that blood-maned bear? I might be okay to deal with it alone, take you with me, what if you don't watch it and you get hurt? ”

The moment he put down Lu Meng, Su Xiao split his head and covered his face with a reprimand. Lu Meng, who had no cultivation, came with him, not only did not help him at all, but would only be a burden.

It seemed that he knew that he couldn't help much, Lu Meng silently listened to Su Xiao's reprimand, blushed and bit his lip.

After a long time, he raised his head and stared at Su Xiao with tears in his eyes: "I...... I'm just worried about you......"

"You-"

"Ahh

After all, Su Xiao didn't say anything more.

It's all here, and Su Xiao is not at ease when Lu Meng goes out alone, so he can only take her and continue to walk deep in the dense forest.

"Brother Liuzi......"

"How?"

"That bloodmaned bear, you really ...... Are you sure to deal with it? ”

Su Xiao was a little surprised, Lu Meng seemed to be very afraid of the blood-maned bear, and he was also afraid that he would encounter it.

"Whether you are sure or not, you will only know when you meet it."

Lu Meng still looked like he wanted to say something, and tightly grabbed the corner of Su Xiao's clothes, looking extremely worried.
