Chapter 167: Li Ming's Plan
"After following the old seven out on the night three days ago, this guy unsurprisingly took me all the way to the place where the two companions had lived. After some discussion, the three of them decided to sneak into the mountains together to find the boss of their group. It's just that I didn't expect that on the way to follow a few people, I was noticed in advance by that hateful guy. Li Ming also became more and more angry when he mentioned this matter again, obviously blaming himself for his momentary negligence.
"This is indeed due to the fact that the eldest of them has improved his cultivation, although this person has not steadily broken through to the Bone Forging Realm as the old seven said before, but he is basically a master who has stepped into this realm with one foot, and his own soul power perception has also nearly doubled compared to before. However, what really made this group of outlaws notice my existence was because they had taken precautions early on, and actually arranged some simple magic circles near the garrison in advance, and accidentally triggered one of them without the division checking, and just fell into the boss's design. ”
"If that's the case, the seventh man who successfully brought me to a group of people can be regarded as completing the task, and even if I fight against this group of people in the bright light, I will basically win. But I didn't think that these guys had been prepared, especially when the boss didn't panic at all when he noticed my tracking in the first year, but quietly pretended not to know, and waited until the teacher relaxed his vigilance and revealed his flaws before making a move. Li Ming continued
"And what I didn't expect the most was that these bastards not only set up a camp in the mountains near the lair of the fierce beast, but also somewhere to get a powerful magic circle that could be driven by the corpse of the spirit beast and the demon core, and before I could make a move, the boss preemptively urged the magic circle to trap me inside."
"I looked at the spirit beast or the spirit of the monk to activate the circle, and it showed that a few people had killed hundreds or thousands of innocent lives at least nearby, including the bones of many humans. And because I was afraid of alarming a few fierce beasts not far away, I didn't dare to make too much movement with all my strength, and by the time the division broke out, several people had already fled under my nose. Later, I didn't think that on the way back, I accidentally attracted the attention of a sky-shaking beast around me, and after fighting with this beast, I was so embarrassed on the way home. ”
Tian Jihong couldn't help but tense his nerves when he heard what the master said, and the importance of that group of outlaws in his heart was even higher by a notch. Although the other party does not have an advantage in terms of cultivation, such a group of guys who lick blood from the knife edge on weekdays can often suppress the opponent in terms of mentality and experience in actual combat, and exert their combat power far beyond the real cultivation on weekdays, and they also know how to use all the favorable environment to achieve the effect of taking advantage of the situation, no wonder an old Jianghu like Master Li will also be planted in the hands of several people.
"Master mentioned that those people found a magic circle that relied on the spirit beast or the monk's divine soul, which sounds inexplicably similar to the previous method of the ghost thousand shadows, and I don't know if it is some inheritance found near the destroyed Ten Thousand Bones Gate." Tianjihong thought to himself.
"It turns out that Master's entourage has also encountered such a change, speaking of which, have you ever found your package?" Tian Jihong recalled the reason for Li Ming's trip, so he asked.
"Don't mention it, this is the most embarrassing thing for the teacher!" Li Ming's face became more and more ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "When I followed a few people to the garrison on the first day of junior high school, I saw that the boss put my package in a very conspicuous place next to me, and the reason why I didn't immediately attack a few people was that I hesitated for a moment whether I should grab the package first and then deal with that group, which led to being robbed by the other party." ”
"What is so important in your package, why hasn't he taken it out for his own use after being snatched by the big boss for so many days?" Tian Jihong was also very interested in the package that the master had mentioned many times, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Hey, I'm not afraid of your jokes, but what is stored here is just some relics left by my master when I was a child, most of them are just worthless things, but to me they are priceless treasures." Li Ming said, "But there are indeed two rare things in this, which must be very eye-catching for the mountain bandit boss, but there is a ban I laid down in advance on it, and it is impossible to break it in less than ten or eight years with the cultivation of those mountain bandits." As for the possibility of his belongings being occupied by the other party, Li Ming will definitely not appear.
"Then what are you going to do, Master?"
"What else? Do you think the reason why the teacher stayed in this village for so long, in addition to healing, wasn't it just for this package? This thing is like a net worth for the teacher, and it is absolutely not allowed to fall into the hands of a few little thieves! Contrary to Tianjihong's expectations, Li Ming attached far more importance to this package than the former imagined.
"I finally have the eyebrows of those few people, and I won't give up easily as a teacher, if I hadn't thought that I hadn't come back for a few days to report my safety to you, maybe after solving the earth-shattering smash at that time, the teacher would have directly tracked the tracks of those guys to the mountains. In the next few days, I will assign the task of your boy's follow-up cultivation, but I should not stay in the village for too long during the day, and most likely I will go to the deep mountains to find the whereabouts of those people. Li Ming said.
"By the way, I remembered at this point, did Master know what happened in the village when he came back?" Tian Jihong suddenly remembered that he hadn't informed Li Ming about the sea beast attack, and hurriedly spoke.
"I don't know, I went straight to your house after I left the mountain, and I didn't pass through the village at all, what happened?"
Tianjihong hurriedly told Li Ming in detail about the incident, but it was a pity that he had not stayed in the village for a long time in the past few days, and he didn't know the details.
“… So, although I have made some breakthroughs in my cultivation now, after all, I don't know the true strength of that beast, and I don't know if I can deal with it. Therefore, for the sake of the apprentice's face, I want to ask the master to take action to solve this scourge, and the reward will definitely be given by the villagers. ”
Li Ming's complexion did not change much when he heard this, and he didn't seem to be too relieved about this matter. Tian Jihong also realized from his calm expression that with his master's strength, he probably didn't take the Qianbiao who had cultivated to the late stage of the Bone Forging Realm in his eyes, and he was not afraid to provoke such a strong person at all.
"Let's not talk about the reward, with the friendship between you and my master and apprentice, it is too much to say this, and it is really not a trouble to make a move for the teacher, in my opinion, the cultivation of this sea beast must not be too high, otherwise your village would have been directly wiped out." Li Ming's tone was still calm, "However, the master thinks that this sea beast is just a suitable experience for you, according to the teacher's estimation, the realm of this beast should not exceed the level of the [Yijin Realm], and it is very suitable as the goal you use to practice now." What do you think? ”
Tian Jihong was also relieved after hearing the master speak in person, he had never been afraid of this beast, but he was a little afraid because he didn't know the true realm of the other party. At this time, the master bluntly encouraged himself to make a move, which made Tianjihong suddenly feel confident, and the only thing left was the last one that he was more worried about:
"Don't worry, Master, with your words, I promise to live up to my mission. It's just that I'm worried that if Qianbiao secretly does ghosts...? ”
"Hehe, then the teacher will naturally take action to solve the trouble, you don't have to worry about this." Li Ming showed a somewhat elusive smile on his face and said lightly.
Tian Jihong suddenly smiled, he and the master have a heart, what he has been waiting for for a long time is an answer like the master, and with such a guarantee, he feels unprecedentedly steady.
"As a teacher, I don't worry about your lack of strength, judging from your extraordinary cultivation talent and previous experience in the mountains, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a spirit beast that is not in the Yi Muscle Realm." Li Ming continued, "But don't underestimate the enemy, I heard you say that the beast will choose the villagers to launch an attack when they relax their vigilance, which shows that its intelligence is quite high, and there may be some other reasons behind it, so you shouldn't take it lightly." ”
"As for the matter of sending people to Dongsheng Town in the village tomorrow, you will solve it yourself tomorrow morning, and the teacher will not come forward in person, but if you dare to come hard, you can just take out this sign and show it to him." After that, Li Ming took out a golden token from his arms and handed it to Tianjihong, who looked at it with a huge "gold" written on it.
"This is the token of the mercenary union, Master once told you that I was originally a temporary mercenary with a gold medal mercenary position in the mercenary union, but I don't rely on the union to take work to make a living on weekdays. With this brand in hand, that Qianbiao will not dare to touch you easily. Li Ming said slowly.
Tian Jihong nodded obediently, after the two of them arranged the general matters properly, it was almost midnight, taking advantage of the last two or three hours before the sun rose in the summer, Tian Jihong began to operate the body cultivation technique under the guidance of the master, and further dissolved the residual medicinal power of the Dragon Bone Pill in the body. According to what Li Ming said, the Dragon Bone Pill, a cultivation pill that was enough to make his eyes red, was really commendable when used on Tianjihong, who was not cultivating in the Kaiyuan Realm, and the latter had not developed and absorbed all of its medicinal power into his body until now, and there were still residues of medicinal residue precipitated in the dark in the meridians.
With the help of Li Ming, after two hours of cultivation, Tian Jihong finally succeeded in exerting all the medicinal properties of the Dragon Bone Pill, in addition to his own breath becoming more and more condensed, the meridians in his body that originally felt a little congested, at this time, after dissolving the medicine residue, he felt unprecedentedly comfortable. The newly cultivated majestic spiritual power made Detian Jihong glow with unparalleled vitality, and he could already vaguely feel that the meridians in his body were about to move, and the spiritual power frenzy that had been running down the clouds and rivers in the original exercises was constantly slapping towards the positions of the five main martial veins that had not yet been developed between his torso.
