Volume 1: The Taoist Temple in the Mountains Chapter 24 Looking at each other
Under the cold moonlight, Qi Lan's back was gloomy, staring indifferently at the sloppy young man who was sitting on the ground.
Half of his long knife was covered by a wide-sleeved robe, but it was still hard to hide its sharpness.
Jiang Hailiu's face was pale, he was trembling with fright, and his eyes were erratic, as if he was afraid that the knife would cut at his neck in the next second.
"So be it."
Ji Ning looked at Qi Lan from afar, nodded slightly, and expressed his gratitude.
The latter didn't say much, turned and descended from the watchtower, disappearing into the night like a ghost.
A hundred meters away, he was also the night watchman of another watchtower tonight, and although he had his companions to help keep an eye on him, he also needed to hurry back.
"In the future, you and I will be in half, agree or disagree?"
Ji Ning walked up to Jiang Hailiu and asked.
"Agreed, I couldn't agree more!"
Jiang Hailiu shuddered for a moment, nodded again and again, and said.
How dare he refuse, just at that moment of fighting, this boy with a beautiful face directly crushed his hand bones with one hand, even if he used his aura, it would be useless.
Ji Ning gave him the feeling that he was like a humanoid beast, and the strength of the two was not at the same level at all.
Even, Jiang Hailiu faintly felt in his heart that maybe his brother in the Iron Bone Realm, who had hunted the silver-level demon beast alone, might not be the opponent of the boy in front of him!
Now that he has suffered a loss, in order to save his life, where is there any reason to dare to disagree.
Seeing this, Ji Ning didn't bother to say anything to him, so he jumped off the guard tower and walked all the way back to the camp tent along the torches.
In the forest at night, the silence was terrible, and not even the roar of a beast could be heard except for the cold wind.
In the humble tent, Ji Ning wrapped his cloth robe tightly and squinted into sleep.
In the blink of an eye, it was early morning.
……
As soon as it was dawn, many members of the adventuring group in the camp woke up one after another, and they were responsible for lighting a fire and cooking.
Those who are in charge of going out hunting resources have also begun to exercise in the morning, polishing their knives and weapons, and they look quiet and peaceful.
However, the next moment.
"Don't stop me!"
Not far from the tent, an angry roar suddenly sounded.
In the camp, everyone gathered curiously to see what was going on.
"You've heard the ins and outs of the matter, and I don't blame that little brother for this."
A middle-aged man in a plain shirt with good facial features calmly stopped in the middle of the road, it was Xue Zhongjing.
"But he shattered the bones of my brother's hand!"
"It's just a small injury, and it's not that there is no elixir."
Xue Zhongjing said, glancing at Jiang Hailiu behind him with some disgust.
If it weren't for Jiang Liuhai, he would have kicked this lazy moth out of the adventure group a long time ago!
Sometimes, he really can't figure out why the difference between brothers who were born together is so big.
"The enemy is at present, and there can be no internal strife."
"This is your brother's fault first, and the little brother has not gained an inch, for the sake of unity, don't make any more trouble."
"These two Blood Creation Pills can be regarded as compensation for you."
Xue Zhongjing sighed, took out a delicate small porcelain bottle from his arms, opened the mouth of the bottle, and poured out three dark red pills, and immediately the air was filled with the fragrance of medicine.
"It's actually a Blood Creation Pill!"
When the rest of the members of the surrounding adventure group saw it, they all cast envious eyes.
Although this Blood Creation Pill is only a second-grade pill, its ability to heal injuries is no less than that of an ordinary third-grade pill.
And because of its cumbersome refining process and the scarcity of raw materials, the price of the Blood Creation Pill is sometimes much higher than that of the same kind of second-grade pills, and a Blood Creation Pill can often be sold for twenty lower-grade spirit stones, and ordinary monks can't afford it at all.
Xue Zhongjing took two of them, which belonged to a loss of blood.
Jiang Liuhai also knew the value, looked up at the man in front of him, and found that the latter had a serious expression, and he really had no intention of backing down, so he took the pill a little unwillingly.
"After you get out of here, you can do whatever you want, and I won't stop you."
"But for three months, I won't allow a single incident of infighting in our ranks."
"One more time, I will deal with it severely!"
There was no expression on the man's face, and there seemed to be countless spiritual powers surging under the simple robe, releasing great coercion.
Inside the camp, everyone's breathing was noticeably stagnant.
A few thorns looked at each other, dispelled the idea of deliberately making trouble to deceive the pill, and left in a huff.
So in the blink of an eye, this not small turmoil was stopped, and the crowd dispersed one after another.
And just when Jiang Liuhai handed over the pill to his younger brother, he was also gloomy and ready to leave.
The tent in the distance was suddenly lifted into a corner.
Ji Ning's gaze was flat and looked at him quietly.
The two look at each other from afar.
Jiang Liuhai squinted, and the iron aura on his body burst out uncontrollably, turning into an invisible force and pressing in the direction of Ji Ning, as if he wanted to teach this boy a lesson that didn't know the height of the sky.
But Ji Ning, after completely enduring the coercion, did not show the slightest uncomfortable look on his face.
Instead, a faint smile was revealed.
"Jiang Liuhai, what are you doing!"
Just when the two looked at each other in silence, and the battle was about to break out.
Xue Zhongjing, who was in front of him, turned his head again, and scolded with an unkind face:
"It's time to go into the mountains to hunt, if your team can't fully develop that relic today, I'm the only one who asks!"
"The ruins are too big, and we really don't have enough people."
At this time, Zhen Xixi, who had just finished grooming, walked over, her hot figure was covered by animal skins, and her face was dignified.
"Yesterday, our team encountered four first-stage demon beasts at the ruins."
"If it weren't for Captain Jiang Liuhai dragging the two wolf demons alone and buying enough time, we wouldn't have been able to join the large army so easily."
"yes, there are really not enough people."
At this time, Jiang Liuhai finally glanced at Ji Ning deeply, turned his head and said calmly:
"It just so happens that the new kid's strength seems to be good, and even my younger brother in the Bronze Bone Realm is not his opponent, so let him come over and help explore the ruins."
"This ......" Xue Zhongjing heard this, and glanced at Ji Ning in the distance with some hesitation.
He originally didn't want Ji Ning to go out hunting, because the latter's realm was too weak, and it was more appropriate to stay in the camp to do some logistics work, but at the moment, there was really a shortage of people.
"Don't worry, we won't embarrass him."
Jiang Liuhai said lightly.
Xue Zhongjing squinted, still a little hesitant, of course he couldn't rest assured that Ji Ning would be handed over to the former, who knew what Jiang Liuhai would do.
"It just so happens that the ruins exploration over there is almost over, so let Wang Peng also lead the team to go with you."
Xue Zhongjing said, looking at a sloppy man with a goatee.
This person's name is Wang Peng, and he is an Iron Bone Realm monk he temporarily recruited on the road, who is good at using a sledgehammer and is very strong.
"Xixi, you and that little brother will join Wang Peng's team together, and explore that ruin with Jiang Liuhai's team, and you can't afford to lose it."
"Got it!"
The woman in the animal skin looked excited, twisted her waist and lifted Ji Ning's tent, and dragged it out without saying a word.
"Let's go!"
"Don't be afraid, with my sister here, no one can bully you!"
