"Is that the front?" Zhou Jinyan looked at the spirit needle in her hand that was swinging more and more, but the overall direction was always forward.

"Yes, it's just ahead," said the maid Chen Rong, "and it looks like we've almost passed through this wood." You see, there's a little light up ahead, which means we're about to walk through the woods. ”

"Really!" Zhou Jinyan shouted happily, "After such a long journey, we can finally have a bumper harvest!" ”

"Hmm." Chen Rong nodded, and behind Zhou Jinyan, the corners of his mouth quietly rose.

……

But when they rushed out of the woods, they were greeted by cliffs.

It is a clearing of about 100 square meters, between the woods and the cliffs. The open space is very flat, as if someone has deliberately treated it. The clearing is surrounded by cliffs in front and woods in the back, but still cliffs on both sides. From a distance, you can see that this is a protruding place on the cliff.

There is no one to name this land on the surface, but in private, it is called the Desperate Cliff by outlaws who often wander in the Zhou Demon Mountain Range. When Wu Jinxing was buying the map, the seller quietly pointed out this place to him on the map and warned him not to go there.

The Cliff of Despair is the best place to ambush the lore, surrounded by cliffs on three sides, as long as you hold the direction of the only woods, you can prevent people from having any chance to escape. Therefore, people often lure the prey they are targeting here, and then use all kinds of vicious and rotten means to force people to die here.

As for the question of destroying corpses...... All you need to do is cremate the body and throw it under the cliff, and no one knows anyway.

At this time, the desperate cliff was not empty, there were three middle-aged people lying on the edge of the cliff, with their backs to Zhou Jinyan and Chen Rong, as if they were collecting something on the cliff.

As if sensing the appearance of the two, the one in front turned his head, and when he saw them, he immediately got up and drew his sword, pointed it at them, and shouted:

"These precious 20-year-old marrow washing fruits were discovered by us first, so you should leave as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to leave if you want to!"

This person's face can be regarded as delicate, but his eyes and tone are not good at all. He was wearing a blue robe, with long hair, a large knife in his right hand, and a red gourd pinned to his waist.

Zhou Jinyan obviously didn't know about the Desperate Cliff, otherwise she would have known that there could be no elixir here with her toes. But she didn't know, she just looked at the spirit compass and knew that there was a precious elixir here, so she didn't have any suspicions when she heard about the marrow washing fruit.

The pulp fruit is a kind of elixir that grows in a dangerous environment, and has the effect of reincarnating the user. The older it is, the stronger the effect, and it can generally be absorbed by those below the realm of heaven and man, especially the ancient ones are effective for princes and even princes. And it is often a dozen of them, so they can only grow in places with strong aura. Therefore, the combination of these two points is enough to reflect the preciousness of the pulp washing fruit.

She sighed slightly, and said disappointedly: "Alas, it was really taken first." ”

At this time, if you are a person with low cultivation, all you can do is leave in a gloomy manner. If the cultivation is high, you can consider taking away the marrow washing fruit with one enemy and three enemies.

However, as a little princess, if Zhou Jinyan retreats like this, she will lose face greatly, but if she robs it, let alone whether she can rob it or not, just say that this marrow washing fruit is of little value to her. You must know that this is only 20 years, not 100 years, although it is worth a lot of money for others, but it is still very common in the palace, she can eat one every three or five years, and it can be treated as a snack.

But she spent so much effort, but in the end it was just a bamboo basket for water, and she was really unwilling.

This is the first time I have come out to look for elixir, how can I go home empty-handed?

So to grab or not to rob, at this time it becomes a difficult problem. But fortunately, as a little princess, she can have a third choice.

"I'm going to make a decision on these marrow washing fruits," Zhou Jinyan crossed her hands on her hips and said domineeringly, "You can make a price." ”

"Huh?" Even the other two also turned their heads in unison, and the man in the blue robe couldn't believe his ears, "What did you say?" ”

"I mean, you put a price on these marrow washing fruits, and I bought them all!"

"This ......," the blue robe looked at the other two.

The other two were also dressed very differently, except that one wore a purple robe and the other wore a black robe.

Zhou Jinyan secretly divided these people according to the color of the robe in her heart. Those who wear blue robes are called blue robes, and those who wear purple robes are called purple robes.

She saw the three of them look at each other, and the purple robe and the black robe took up a dozen marrow washing fruits from the bottom of the cliff, and then used several jade boxes to encapsulate them inside, and then nodded to the blue robe.

"Well, that's right, you can make an offer now. Sister Chen, give me the money. Zhou Jinyan said with a smile, stretched out her hand, and then a heavy money bag was put in her hand.

"Guy, when did we say we were going to sell it to you," the black robe smiled sinisterly and pulled out a large knife from his waist, "Little girl, I advise you to obediently throw the money to us immediately, so that I may be able to let you live, but the chick next to you has to stay." You're still young, so don't just waste your future with a bad decision. ”

"Huh?" Zhou Jinyan frowned and tilted her head, this development had exceeded her expectations, "What do you mean?" ”

"Don't you understand?" The purple robe took the words of the black robe and said contemptuously, "Then I will say it in layman's terms, which means robbery." ”

"Why do you have to fight and kill? Wouldn't it be nice for us to make a deal with the kind? Zhou Jinyan asked without understanding.

The blue robe laughed a few times when he heard this: "Hahaha, if you can grab it directly, why do I need to make a deal with you?" Little girl, you are not deeply involved in the world, and you don't know the truth here, I hope you can understand it in the next life. ”

"So there's only one battle?" Zhou Jinyan kept a calm face, flipped her hand, and the money bag turned into a streamer and flew into the depths of Zhou Jinyan's sleeve. Then she lifted the sword she had been holding in her left hand and alternated it to her right hand. Chen Rong also took off the oil-paper umbrella behind him, with the tip of the umbrella facing forward.

"There are only two of us, but there are only three of you, and the odds of victory are not necessarily better than ours," Zhou Jinyan said confidently, shaking the long sword in her hand, "I hope you don't die too quickly under my 'Yuxiao', otherwise it will be too boring." ”

"The name of the sword? Could it be the legendary Thundering Sword forged with heavenly thunder? Wasn't this recycled by the royal family many years ago? How could it be in your hands? The blue robe's eyes narrowed slightly, "But it doesn't matter, even if you have Yuxiao, what can you do?" You don't really think there are only three of us, do you? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound in the woods behind Zhou Jinyan, and two people appeared from the woods, blocking the only way to the Desperate Cliff.

One of the two men wore a gray robe, and the other wore a white robe. The colors of the five people's robes are different, which is also convenient for Zhou Jinyan to identify.

"Miss be careful, these five people have just entered the Yuan Shen Realm, and we are not far behind you, I'm afraid we really have no chance of winning." Chen Rong faced the two people behind him, turned his back to Zhou Jinyan, and said with a solemn face.

"This ......" Zhou Jinyan's momentum couldn't help but drop a little.

But before she could come up with a solution, she heard the white robe say: "Zhou Jinyan, the ninth princess of the Zhou Dynasty, as the youngest daughter of the current emperor, it is naturally not uncommon to have the Imperial Sword, right?" ”

"What, how do you know who I am?" Zhou Jinyan was suddenly shocked.

"Our intelligence work is still doing well, and when we heard the news that you ran into the Zhou Demon Mountain Range, we laid such a trap for you to lure you here, but I didn't expect you to jump in so stupidly." Bai Robe continued.

The gray robe laughed dryly: "Everyone, everything is ready, there is no need to act anymore." ”

"It's so good, this human skin mask has made me uncomfortable to death." The blue robe took the lead and ripped off his face, revealing his true face under the human skin, and the other four people followed closely behind and ripped off his face.

"Demons, people from the Heaven Slaying Demon Domain?!" Seeing the faces that did not belong to human beings under human skin, Zhou Jinyan couldn't help but get nervous.

If everyone is a human race, then there is naturally room for maneuver, but if the races are different...... As the saying goes, the hearts of those who are not of our race will be different, and those who are not of our race will have evil hearts, and the situation between several people is destined to be endless.

"Zhou Jinyan, now that you are dying, do you have anything else to say?" The black robe smiled proudly.

Zhou Jinyan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself: "I want to know, how did you know, or how did you lure me here?" ”

"That's a good question," the white robe behind her waved the array flag in her hand to set up the formation, "just let this formation master explain it to you." Our intelligence shows that you have a spirit compass in your hand, so you will definitely use the spirit compass when you go to the mountains to find the elixir. We only need to set up a small spirit gathering array within the perception range of the spirit compass, and you will stupidly walk in the direction pointed by the spirit needle. ”

"What? Can the spirit compass be interfered with? Zhou Jinyan said in shock.

"Of course. It's just that the spirit compass is expensive and not anyone can afford to use it, so not many people know about it. At the same time, we have put a dozen marrow washing fruits here to make it look like there is really an elixir here, and let them go around with you to attract your attention. And during this period of time, I added an aura shield array on the basis of the small spirit gathering array, and you and I were both in the aura shielding array. ”

"The Qi Shielding Array is isolated inside and outside, shielding all the breath, even if the transmission of the jade pendant is ineffective here. No matter what you call it in the array, as long as you are still within the range of the Qi Shielding Array, no one outside can detect your breath, let alone rescue you. Now, do you have any last words to say, little princess? ”

"Hehe," Zhou Jinyan paused, shook her head, showed a regretful expression, and then said with confidence, as if she had a chance to win, "Do you really think I don't know anything about your plan?" Do you really feel like I'm not prepared at all? Do you really think I won't do it? ”

Then, she took half a step backwards and whispered in a voice that only she and Chen Rong could hear: "Thirty-six plans are the best plan, there is only one chance, prepare to escape!" ”

Chen Rong: "......"

[I thought too much about it, and I really thought you secretly prepared some big killer move.] But since you don't have any killer moves, then ......]
