"It's such an oppressive atmosphere, is this how the forbidden area feels?" Wu Neng, who entered the forbidden area for the first time, looked left and right vigilantly, and the gloomy environment around him made him feel very uneasy, lest a vicious demon beast suddenly burst out of the surrounding darkness.

"Relax and be old." Shi Cheng comforted, "Most of the forbidden areas are not like this, and the environment here is so oppressive that it is mostly related to the Evil God Formation, not necessarily because of other special reasons. ”

"Didn't I dare to relax even more when you said that......" Wu Neng complained frantically in his heart.

When Wu Neng looked at Xu Feng not far away, he found that the deacon of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce was already sweating nervously, but the expression on his face was quite relaxed, obviously as Shi Cheng guessed, he had some kind of talisman secret treasure on his body.

Ma Guo stayed by Xu Fengshi's side after getting out of the car, and only occasionally talked to Shi Cheng, he didn't seem to be interested in the forbidden area, just to complete the task of protecting Xu Fengshi.

Everyone was already on the edge of the forbidden area at this time, although the river in the forbidden area was emitting strange fluorescence, but in order to prevent disorientation, the group still moved along the river in the direction of the flowing water.

"The Du family is right, there is indeed a strange river that glows at the entrance directly west of Potato Leaf Village...... Shi Cheng thought secretly.

Everyone walked forward for some distance, and Shi Cheng's pace slowed down.

"Shi Gongzi, what's wrong?" Sensing that Shi Cheng had slowed down his travel, Xu Fengshi asked suspiciously.

"Deacon Xu, Shi also temporarily invited other friends on today's trip, and they should be waiting nearby." Shi Cheng quietly looked at Xu Feng, whose face became stunned, and replied calmly, "Those Jianghu friends also have a good understanding of the situation in the forbidden area, and we can walk more steadily in the forbidden area with them, Deacon Xu shouldn't mind having a few more companions." ”

……

"Elder, did you say that the strange man surnamed Shi would really come here to meet us?"

At this time, not far in front of the direction of Shi Cheng and his party, a group of seven people from the Du family was quietly waiting on the big bluestone outside a small forest.

This small forest is out of place with its surroundings, and in the evergreen environment of Rainforest Continent, it is covered with shriveled red leaves that can only be seen in late autumn, which makes this grove look very conspicuous from the outside.

The forbidden area is like this, it is an area where the Heavenly Dao and Spiritual Qi are chaotic, no matter how small the scale is, the various wonders in the forbidden area cannot be speculated by common sense.

The leader of this Du family is Duke, who had met Shi Cheng and the three of them in the inn before, and was a cultivator of the high-level martial arts realm. Du Shenghao, who was the only half-step grandmaster among the Du family members who came this time, did not appear here.

Duke looked at the hourglass clock placed on his left, then at the low and narrow valley in the distance, and said, "If he doesn't come, we will explore the forbidden area today as usual to find treasures." ”

Duke felt helpless in his heart, Shi Cheng and Tie Mian were both half-step grandmasters, this was Kenbin Country and not Muliu City, even if Du Shenghao was there, the Du family team that came to seize the treasure had no way to take Shi and Tie.

Fortunately, Shi Cheng is a very punctual person.

Just as the appointed time was about to pass, Duke saw several figures in the valley from a distance.

The figures approached, and Shi Cheng's impressively ugly face clearly entered Duke's pupils.

The ugly face became clearer and clearer, and about a quarter of an hour later, Shi Cheng and the others came to the front of the Du family.

The Du family looked at the three Shi Cheng who were full of spring, and then looked at the two strangers beside Shi Cheng with embarrassed faces, Duke stepped forward and respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Shi Gongzi, Wu Gongzi, Tie Gongzi, let's meet again." Belch...... Don't know who these two are? He greeted him while looking at Xu Fengshi and Ma Guo suspiciously.

"These two are the experts who came with me today to explore the forbidden area, Mr. Xu and Mr. Ma are both very knowledgeable people, with them present, the probability of us recovering the treasure for you will become greater." Shi Cheng replied with a smile, and did not take the initiative to introduce the identities of Xu Fengshi and Xu Fengshi to Duke in detail at the first time.

In the end, Xu Fengshi took the initiative to introduce himself, he did not hide his identity as the deacon of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce, and also showed everyone the Chamber of Commerce waist card he carried, but he did not mention to the Du family the interest of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce in the treasures of the forbidden area, only said that he was a friend of Shi Cheng and the three of them, and they happened to meet when they were running business in Kenbin City, and they heard that Shi Cheng was interested in the forbidden area and came to be a guide.

Duke didn't think much about it, but he was extremely surprised that Xu Fengshi was just an ordinary person, but looking at Xu Fengshi's not particularly embarrassed expression, Duke had a guess similar to Shi Cheng in his heart, Xu Fengshi should have a magic weapon on his body.

Ma Guo did not admit his identity, but simply said that he was also a friend of Shi Cheng, and because he was quite familiar with the forbidden area, he also came to help.

After learning Xu Fengshi's identity, the attitude on the faces of those in the Du family who were still a little muttering to Shi Cheng changed a lot, the Du family was just a local family in Muliu City, and it was naturally incomparable with a well-known consortium like the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce, Shi Chengneng had such a relationship with a deacon of a high status in the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce, and his own origin became a lot more reliable.

Duke was still a little uneasy, his temperament was very straight, and he was not a person who was good at hiding his thoughts, so he interrogated Xu Fengshi and Ma Guo again and again before he temporarily put his mind at ease.

Everyone went on the road together, and Duke apologized to Shi Cheng and others while paying attention to the surrounding movements: "Shi Daoyou and Deacon Xu, please forgive me, if it weren't for Duke's entanglement, it was really a mix of fish and dragons in Kenbin City right now, and it was the first time I met Deacon Xu and Ma Daoyou today, so I had to have an extra heart." ”

"A few days ago, there was a big incident in the city, I don't know if Shi Gongzi has heard of it, a female disciple of the cultivator realm of Qianguifeng is nowhere to be found in the city, and the people of Qianguifeng have been looking for three days and three nights and have not found anyone back, and now it seems that most of them have encountered an accident. Think about it, even a monk of this kind of cultivation can capsize in this small place, how deep is the water in Kenbin City at the moment? Duke babbled.

Xu Fengshi smiled and didn't say anything, but he became more and more disdainful of Du Ke in his heart, such a person who has no heart can mix with the elders, and the so-called local wealthy family like the Du family, the real gold content can be seen.

Ma Guo's face was expressionless, and he was still silent. Shi Cheng waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care: "Why did Du Daoyou say this, it was Shi who took the liberty to come to the door before, and the elders should have acted cautiously. ”
