The sky is covered by dense forests, the vision is dark, and everywhere you look, there are towering trees surrounded by several people, and the grass is overgrown below, and the ground is almost invisible.

The group walked slowly in the mountains, the soles of their feet submerged in the rotting dead leaves, each wearing a hat on his head, covering his face, and carrying either a sword or an axe and fork on his back.

"Ren Qiu, it's the first time you left the county town and came to hunt in the mountains, right?"

Huang Sheng patted Ren Qiu's arm: "It's okay, I'll get used to it after a few more times, don't be nervous." ”

Ren Qiu glanced at him and nodded slowly, but his nerves were secretly tense, observing the surrounding situation at all times, one hand was faintly placed on his waist, and he flicked his sword out at any time.

Huang Sheng shook his head and said no more.

One of them complained: "How can you leave the camp in the mountains, wouldn't it be dangerous if it rained heavily?"

"Shut up. ”

As soon as the team stopped, everyone glared angrily, and Huang Sheng even scolded: "If you can't speak, don't speak." ”

The man's head shrank, and he knew that he had committed a taboo.

"Okay, let's walk more than thirty miles, and we will arrive at our camp, while it is still dark, everyone hurry up. ”

Huang Sheng glared at the man, snorted coldly, then turned his head and whispered to Ren Qiu: "In the deep mountains and old forests, dangers are everywhere, not only are there strange beasts, but there are also some terrifying and strange existences. ”

"Once it really rains and the fog is together, you can't tell the direction, and in this mountain forest, anything can happen, so everyone is especially taboo about this. ”

"Thank you, Senior Brother Huang, for mentioning it. ”

Ren Qiu said gratefully, and Huang Sheng chuckled: "Before coming out, Senior Brother Liu specially instructed me to take care of you more." ”

Do you want to use me to lure Zhou Yuan and them into action?

Ren Qiu tacitly acquiesced, glanced at Huang Sheng, and smiled at each other, but they each had ghosts.

Huang Sheng turned his head, and from Ren Qiu's point of view, he secretly wondered, always feeling that something was not right with this kid.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at it, and saw that his muscles were tense, and he would not really step down every step, as if he would jump up as long as there was danger.

The corners of his eyes twitched, this kid was really vigilant.

But what's the use of being vigilant, a newcomer with full blood and blood, is it possible to escape his palm?

He smiled silently and didn't care anymore.

......

After climbing over the mountains, crossing the ravines, and killing a few wild boars scurrying, the group finally reached a mountain col.

The col is very large, almost forming a basin, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and a river in the middle, the water of which is clear and does not make a splash.

Not far from the river, there are more than a dozen wooden houses, in which dozens of strong men are busy, and piles of bonfires are set up on wooden frames, on which there is a head of game.

"Senior Brother Huang. ”

Someone greeted him, ordered the others to rest, and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Liu, is he here?"

Huang Sheng glanced around without moving, and without answering, the man's eyes lit up, laughed, and shouted: "Senior Brother Huang brought us good wine, everyone drink it happily tonight." ”

For a moment, the ghost cried wolf and cheered.

Ren Qiu glanced at the camp, several of the wooden houses, there were three or four people guarding outside, looking vigilant, not letting anyone approach, and after a little smell, a fishy smell came.

It seems that there is a lot of gain.

Immediately, he no longer paid attention, but secretly observed the others, and counted them carefully, at least thirty or forty people, some of whom exuded qi and blood, like a fierce tiger, and their strength was actually higher than Huang Sheng.

Smacking his tongue slightly, he didn't expect Liu Zhuangzhuang to attract so many good players, but he didn't know it before.

Presumably, the number of people on Zhou Yuan's side will not be small.

After all, the second senior brother, who has never met, can compete with Liu Zhuangzhuang, which shows that his strength is definitely not weak.

My heart suddenly raised vigilance.

He was confident that he was not weaker than Zhou Yuan, but once four or five good hands with blood like lead besieged him, no matter how strong the sword broke out, he could only hate it on the spot.

After all, he is just a newcomer who has only been in the body for two months.

At night, four or five large bonfires are lit, reflecting the dark yellow of the surrounding mountains and forests, the wind blows, and the branches and leaves shake, like devils.

Dozens of people gathered around the bonfire, eating meat and drinking wine, laughing loudly, singing from time to time, ghosts crying and wolf howling, so lively.

Huang Sheng carried the wine jar, walked to the middle, pressed his hand, let everyone be quiet, looked around, and said with a smile: "Senior brothers, are you happy to drink?"

"Another altar, even happier. ”

There was a burst of laughter below.

Huang Sheng watched quietly, waited for everyone to laugh, and said slowly: "But I'm not very high-minded, and Senior Brother Liu is not very happy." ”

Everyone's expressions froze, and they suddenly went silent.

"This hunting of strange beasts, what the first place means, everyone must know, but now we are behind Zhou Yuan and them, which makes Senior Brother Liu very angry. ”

"As the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, how does Senior Brother Liu treat everyone on weekdays, I think you know in your own hearts that Senior Brother Liu needs your help this time, but some people secretly collude with Zhou Yuan...... You say, 'What should we do about this?'

"What?"

"Which miscellaneous piece is it, I said how Lao Tzu found the strange beast, which was inexplicably killed by Zhou Yuan and them first, it turned out that someone reported the news. ”

"Senior Brother Huang, who are you talking about?"

Everyone was in an uproar, looking at each other and shouting angrily.

Huang Sheng's eyes were cold, and he looked at the person below: "Zuo Tao, are you worthy of Senior Brother Liu's cultivation?"

"Zuo Tao, is that him?"

"It turned out to be this crumb, get out of here. ”

A sturdy man, with a pale face, was kicked out by several people, and everyone saw that he knew that his matter was exposed, and he didn't resist, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing: "Senior Brother Huang, I, I don't dare anymore, it's Zhou Yuan and them, they arrested my family and forced me to do this, if you don't give them a message, they will kill my whole family, my child is only ten years old......"

"If you arrest your whole family, you can give Zhou Yuan your life? aren't you afraid, Senior Brother Liu will kill your whole family?"

"I ...... I ......"

Zuo Tao was in a cold sweat like rain and kept kowtowing.

Huang Sheng snorted coldly and waved his hand in disgust: "Get out, don't let me see you again......"

Zuo Tao couldn't believe it, he suddenly raised his head, and he couldn't speak for a while.

"What, you still want to stay here to eat meat and drink wine?"

"No, no...... I'm going to get out, I'm going to get out, thank you Senior Brother Huang. ”

Zuo Tao crawled and ran out in embarrassment, for fear that Huang Sheng would regret killing him and disappear into the mountains and forests.

The people below were dissatisfied: "Senior Brother Huang, you are too merciful, this kind of miscellaneous actually let him go, it is too cheap for him." ”

"Yes, Senior Brother Huang, if he hadn't reported the news, we might have surpassed Zhou Yuan and them, and this guy should be killed." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, listen to me. ”

Huang Sheng smiled bitterly: "Although he betrayed us, after all, we are in a martial arts academy, we are brothers in the same academy, he can be unkind, but we can't be unjust." ”

"This is Senior Brother Liu's decision...... Let's drink bars, don't make everyone unhappy for this disgust. ”

Everyone sighed, some resentful, some pity, some doubtful, some grateful, and their expressions were different.

Soon the atmosphere was up.

Something isn't right...... Ren Qiu looked in the direction where Zuo Tao left, he knew this person, when he first became an official disciple, there were several people who showed goodwill, and among them was this person.

But why, since Huang Sheng already knew that Zuo Tao was Zhou Yuan's shadow, and he was reporting the news, why didn't he start cleaning up early, and it would be delayed until today?

......

In a karst cave, dozens of people were around the bonfire, roasting game, Zhou Yuan was sitting in it, suddenly raised his head, and looked at the entrance of the cave, where several disciples on duty were blocking an embarrassed figure.

Zuo Tao?

Isn't he on Huang Sheng's side?

Zhou Yuan pressed his doubts, let the others continue to eat meat, walked over quickly, came to the entrance of the cave, narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "Why are you here?"

"Zhou, Senior Brother Zhou, I'...... I was discovered. ”

"Oh?"

Zhou Yuan's pupils shrank, and he said slowly: "Tell me, how was it discovered......

Zuo Tao swallowed his saliva, said the matter uncertainly, suddenly paused, raised his head and said, "By the way, Senior Brother Zhou, Ren Qiu, who you asked me to keep an eye on, is also here." ”

"This guy has finally come out, it seems that we are putting a lot of pressure on Huang Sheng, otherwise we won't send a newcomer into the mountain. ”

Zhou Yuan patted Zuo Tao's shoulder and said with a smile: "Huang Sheng doesn't want you, it's because he has no vision, if Senior Brother Zuo doesn't dislike it, you can come to our side." ”

Zuo Tao lowered his head gratefully: "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou." ”

"Go in, there is good wine and meat in it, and when others say you, you say that I asked you to come." ”

After Zuo Tao entered, Zhou Yuan looked at the vast mountains, and the eyes of the yin owl showed a hint of murderous intent: "Ren Qiu......"

He didn't have to kill Ren Qiu, a newcomer who had just entered the realm of qi and blood, an ant, was not worthy of his attention, let alone his hard work.

The fundamental reason is that he wants to let the new disciples know that following Liu Zhuangzhuang is only a dead end.

In recent months, the martial arts academy has accepted new disciples on a large scale, and it has exceeded more than two hundred, and it is still expanding rapidly, and even some landlords in the countryside have sent their sons and nephews.

It is conceivable that the strength of the Martial Arts Academy will reach a certain point in the future.

And the huge benefits brought by this force are unimaginable, and in the past, there was the suppression of the government, so it could only be done secretly.

Now the government is like a fictitious government, and if you don't increase your strength at this time, you will wait for when.

This power can only be in the hands of the second senior brother.

As for the master, he never asked about these things, and the senior brother was even far away in Dingzhou......

"So, Ren Qiu...... You have to die, it's to blame you for choosing the wrong person. ”

......
