Volume II, Chapter 260: The Human Village
Tan Lao glanced at Jin Yu fiercely, and said with a light smile: "Xiaoyou should know that there is no life-and-death enmity between us, and a small inspection envoy is nothing, but if you kill Xue Mei, the enmity will be deep." ”
"Really?" Chen Sheng whispered, his hand holding the sword relaxed, and the girl suddenly felt that the sword qi in her body was much weaker.
"Before I do that, I want to ask you a question. Chen Sheng's palms suddenly clenched, and a piercing cold sword intent poured out.
Tan Lao's expression did not change, and Yun said lightly: "It's my family's lord, in the past, whenever someone from the outside world came to the forbidden land, the lord would send someone to invite him." ”
Chen Sheng sneered: "You guys have such a big battle, it's not like an invitation, the previous inspector almost killed me." ”
Hearing him mention Yan Kui, Jin Yu's face was a little unnatural, and under the gaze of Tan Lao, he pouted and said, "It was I who had no way to control him, so he collided with his friend, and I hope to forgive me." ”
"Tell me about your family, why does he want to see me?" Chen Sheng said casually, his eyes were patrolling around, and he relaxed a little after confirming that the three of them were not playing tricks, and said: "There are nine other people who came in with me, could it be that your family also sent someone to invite?"
On the word 'please', Chen Sheng's tone aggravated a little, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously brought a touch of sarcasm.
"Those nine people don't have the good luck of Xiaoyou, they are in a dangerous area outside the forbidden land, but I'm afraid that not many will survive. Ye Hei's ethereal voice came.
Chen Sheng's heart tightened, and he asked, "You mean, this forbidden place is the safest place?"
"Yes, surrounded by fierce beasts outside the forbidden land, most of them are terrifying existences that cannot be enlightened, and even the strength of a few of us and others is at risk of dying. ”
As if to confirm his statement, Tan Lao threw out a piece of ancient jade and said, "Since my family learned of your arrival, I started to plan, but unfortunately it was still a step too late, and three of the ten people had already died. ”
"This is the spirit treasure that can determine our location?" Chen Sheng frowned slightly, finally knowing why these demon clans came so quickly and accurately.
"Have you talked enough, can you let me go?" Xue Mei shouted weakly, the sword that had been inserted from her chest was almost the most terrifying weapon she had ever encountered in her life, and it actually had the ability to devour.
Tan Lao stepped forward and said with a smile: "What do you think?"
Chen Sheng snorted coldly, "It's okay to spare her life, but people can't return it to you." ”
With a wave of his hand, the huge palm print fell, turning into countless golden light and submerging into Xue Mei's body, and casually put it in his sleeve, Chen Sheng said indifferently: "Tell me, who is the master of your family?"
"This ......" The old man hesitated for a moment, looked at the other two, and then lowered his voice and said: "The name of my master cannot be mentioned lightly, and the old man can only tell Xiaoyou that he is a true god. ”
Chen Sheng sneered: "You think I'm so foolish, how can there be a so-called god in the world, even if your master is a cultivator of the God Realm, he shouldn't call himself this way, if he is placed in the outside world, this title alone is enough for him to die hundreds of times." ”
"You!" Jin Yu was slightly angry, he coveted the secret that Chen Sheng carried, but he couldn't tolerate someone to be humiliated like this.
"In any case, in this forbidden land, the Lord is the only god. It was Ye Hei who spoke, and his crisp voice made Chen Sheng look sideways.
In fact, from the very beginning, Chen Sheng had been observing the people in this black mist, and a certain smell on his body made him feel very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.
Chen Sheng's expression was calm, and he suddenly asked, "In recent years, has your master invited other people?"
Tan Lao's face flashed with a different color, although he covered it up well, he was still seen by Chen Sheng and asked: "I came to find someone, if your master has not seen the person I am looking for, then there is no need to meet." ”
The old man pondered, and finally came up with a few names, which surprised Chen Sheng, among them, there were actually two or three names, which belonged to the notorious big devil in the cultivation world.
It's a pity that after Old General Tan told all the people in his memory, Chen Sheng still didn't get the whereabouts of Lingyun, so he shook his head helplessly and said, "Since there is no one here, I will leave the forbidden place on the same day and go outside to find it." ”
"The old man dares to ask, the person you are looking for is very important to you?" Tan Lao was a little reluctant and gritted his teeth.
"It's important, but unfortunately you don't have it here, I'm leaving. Chen Sheng waved his hand and was about to leave.
"Wait!"
Chen Sheng turned around, looked at Jin Yu, frowned, and said, "Is there something wrong?"
"Hand over Xue Mei!" Jin Yu gritted his teeth, this kid in front of him was just a golden pill breath, and he only captured the weakest of them Xue Mei by sneak attack, and now he dares to look at himself with such a gaze.
"It turned out to be this. Chen Sheng chuckled, put down the palm of the hilt of the sword, and said casually: "I can't believe you, people will return when they get out of the forbidden land, and before that, please stay with the three of you." ”
Tan Lao's face sank like water, bullied him forward, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoyou's behavior is a little unpleasant. ”
Chen Sheng's eyes narrowed, and he said word by word: "Or, do you want me to kill her?"
"The kid has the guts...... Jin Yu sneered, "aren't you afraid that my adults will come and kill you with a hand?"
"Waiting for you. Chen Sheng was not polite, and his body appeared a hundred feet away.
Jin Yu asked with a gloomy face, "Just sit back and watch him leave?"
Tan Lao glanced at him coldly, "Are you sure you can beat this person?"
"At least I didn't. Ye Hei was extremely crisp and neat, and disappeared in place after dropping a sentence.
Jin Yu's face changed slightly, and he said in disbelief: "Isn't this human race a Jin Dan cultivator, otherwise he wouldn't be able to enter here." ”
Tan Lao sighed lightly: "It is precisely because of this that I didn't choose to make a decisive move, Xue Mei's life and death are small, and the secret of the young man is the most important, once I fight, I don't have the certainty of capturing him alive." ”
"Even you can't do it?" Jin Yu was shocked, Tan Lao, as an old powerhouse, was already the guardian of the Middle Domain when they were extremely young, and his strength was not necessarily lower than that of the half-step god giant dragon, and he was not even sure.
"If all five of them are there, we may be able to succeed with the help of something given by the adults. Old Tan sighed, the moment the young man decisively took out his sword, the danger he felt from him was almost better than that of the old man who had been promoted to a god decades ago.
Jin Yu was annoyed when he heard this: "It's a pity that the giant is not here. ”
The giant dragon whose strength has reached the half-step transformation god is undoubtedly the strongest among them, but this guy seems to have disappeared out of thin air.
The two followed not far away, secretly spying on Chen Sheng.
With two pairs of eyes behind him, Chen Sheng naturally did not continue to use his means, holding Xue Mei's life in his hands was enough to open up a path for him.
This time, the direction chosen by Chen Sheng was still in the Northern Regions, a small jungle dozens of miles away from the ape clan's station.
"Do you really want to indulge that kid out?" Jin Yu's heart tightened, the hateful human race was already less than a thousand feet away from the border.
Tan Lao patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't worry, that young man can't get out." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a huge vibration on the ground, and a huge demon beast walked out of the night.
Chen Sheng took out Xue Mei's sealed body and sneered: "It seems that those companions of yours don't care about you, and they actually stopped me by this means. ”
The boundary of the forbidden land is protected by the formation, and there are not many open entrances and exits, but at this moment, chaos has appeared, and the elders of various ethnic groups are even sacrificing the utensils that protect the formation pattern.
Seeing that the formation wall was condensed, Chen Sheng's gaze became extremely cold, he raised Xue Mei high, and shouted in a condensed voice: "You don't have to hide, come out." ”
"Huh..... Don't be angry, little friend, this outside world is very dangerous, why don't you go back with me to meet the adults, even if you can't find your friend, there will definitely be other gains. The heavenly prison appeared with a smile on his face, followed by the same spring breeze on the side of Jin Yu.
At this moment, if there were no giant beasts roaring outside, it would really be an extremely harmonious picture.
"If I say no, I won't see it, and if I want to see it, let your master come to see me. Holding Xue Mei's snow-white neck with his palm, Chen Sheng smiled at the two of them and said, "I don't have much time, before she died, your master didn't show up, so it was the turn of the two." ”
"Don't be too arrogant, boy. Jin Yu drank coldly, this Terran boy was too rampant.
Tan Lao's eyebrows drooped slightly, and he reminded in a soft voice: "Xiaoyou, you have to think clearly, although you have some strength, you will never be the opponent of my family, once you stand on the opposite side, it will be difficult to be good." ”
Chen Sheng smiled casually, "Killing one is also killing, what is the difference between killing two." ”
The old man's pupils shrank suddenly, revealing a look of horror, and his voice was hoarse: "What did you say?"
"A fox who is expected to turn into a god is willing to be an eagle dog for others, but it is a pity that he is cultivated. Chen Sheng's gaze swept over the two of them, and the words that came out of his mouth made them creepy.
After a long time, Jin Yu reacted from this biting cold, and exclaimed: "You killed the giant calf, you actually killed the giant calf!"
Chen Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Actually, the strength of the two of you is stronger than him, you might as well try to save this demon from me." ”
With a flick of his wrist, Xue Mei presented the original form of the demon clan, which turned out to be a fox with six tails.
"It's a pity that it can grow six tails and sell it for a good price when you put it on the outside. Chen Sheng sighed lightly in his heart, the women of the fox clan are already extremely popular, and it is even rarer for those with pure blood, and some seniors are very willing to spend money on this.
"You little guy is so good, I even looked away. A cloud of white light appeared in the field, and Chen Sheng saw the village chief.
Xiao Zhuo glanced at his hand indifferently and said, "This woman is destined for me, can Xiaoyou spare her once?"
Although it was a tone of discussion, Xiao Zhuo had already stretched out his hand.
Chen Sheng's face was full of black lines, facing this god-transforming monk, and he was also a human race, he should have been close, but Xiao Zhuo's behavior of asking for it as soon as they met really made him a little disliked.
Seeing Chen Sheng's hesitation, Xiao Zhuo was a little anxious, and urged: "The old monster in the depths of the forbidden land is coming, if you don't want to die, hurry up and give me something." ”
"My lord is coming?" Tan Lao and Jin Yu both showed shocked expressions, the former stared at Xiao Zhuo for a long time before his eyes widened, and he said in shock: "It's you, that damn thief." ”
Xiao Zhuo glanced at him coldly, and snorted coldly: "Xiao is just retrieving the treasures of my human race, and the real thief is that guy." ”
Looking in the direction of Xiao Zhuo's finger, Chen Sheng's expression changed slightly, and an extremely dangerous feeling struck.
"Please take me out, senior. Simply threw the fox in his hand over, Chen Sheng said urgently.
Xiao Zhuo accepted Xue Mei, waved his hand casually, and said, "Don't worry, when the old monster arrives, say hello and leave." ”
Chen Sheng was angry, looking at this guy's appearance, where was there a sense of imminence.
"Xiao Zhuo, how many times have you come to disturb my cultivation, aren't you afraid that this seat will take your village?" The man had not yet arrived, but his deep voice had already arrived.
Chen Sheng's heart was shocked, and it was not difficult to guess from the power contained in this voice that the person who came must be a powerful figure, at least above the second threshold of the god transformation.
Thinking of this, Chen Sheng glanced at the smiling man beside him, and couldn't help but be a little worried about his future.
"Boy, what kind of eyes are you?" Xiao Zhuo's perception was very keen, and he turned his head at this moment and said unhappily: "If you think you can't trust me, just go first." ”
Chen Sheng rolled his eyes, if he could go, would he still need to stay here?
"Old monster, you don't seem to have a good eye for picking your subordinates, these two guys have a very ordinary bloodline, and they don't even have the qualifications to guard my village. ”
Xiao Zhuo's half-joking words made Tan Lao and the others change color, especially Jin Yu, what he was most proud of in his life was the blood flowing in his body.
"What, you're not convinced?" Xiao Zhuo stared at Jin Yu and suddenly smiled: "Anyway, your Quartet Town Beasts are not complete, I will help you clear another one today." ”
"You dare!" In the furious roar, Chen Sheng actually heard a bit of lust and inwardness, and the sound of breaking the wind came in an instant, and a huge palm print appeared in the air, slamming down towards the position in front of Jin Yu.
A smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Zhuo's mouth, his palm was on Chen Sheng's shoulder, he twisted around and broke the formation, and sneered: "If I didn't know your body, I really doubt that this miscellaneous bird was born to you." ”
The scenery around him shrank rapidly in Chen Sheng's eyes, and it didn't take long for the two of them to come to a small village.
Staring at the somewhat familiar sign in front of him, Chen Shenghu said suspiciously: "This is the village where you are?"
"How's it going, magnificent, right?" Xiao Zhuo laughed and greeted the two old men who were playing chess at the entrance of the village.
One of the old men turned his head and scolded in a low voice, "Damn, what mess did you bring back?"
Xiao Zhuo smiled 'hehe' and took out the six-tailed fox like a treasure.
The old man's eyes made contact with the figure, Chen Sheng clearly heard the sound of swallowing saliva, an old man stirred up the chessboard, ran over in three steps and two steps, showing an extremely ashamed expression, and lowered his voice and said: "It's still you, this kid, remember the old man's preferences." ”
"So be it...... In the village chief election three days later, the old man will vote for you again. The old man swore and patted Xiao Zhuo's chest, and his other hand had already reached out to the six-tailed Xue Mei.
Chen Sheng's face was full of black lines, and he looked at Xiao Zhuo fixedly, with a terrifying expression.
"Seventh Master forgive me, I'm afraid this little fox won't be able to give it to you. Xiao Zhuo wiped a cold sweat before he spit out such a sentence.
"What?" The old man's eyes became sharp, and he frowned: "Have you forgotten that you kid was able to be the head of this village in the first place, and you didn't rely on Lao Tzu to shout at you?"
The Seventh Master's expression changed suddenly, and he said suspiciously: "Could it be that the fourth guy promised you other benefits, don't you kid want to throw yourself to him?"
The more the old man thought about it, the more reliable he felt, and as soon as he raised his arms, he was about to start dismissing the village head.
Xiao Zhuoqiang held back the chill in his heart, walked to the center of a group of shouting old men, and said: "Don't be impatient, you don't have to be impatient, the six-tailed demon fox I brought back is only this one, and I still took a great risk to get it back, and you are persecuting me like this, it is really chilling." ”
For a while, the direction of the wind in the crowd changed, and someone nodded and said, "That's right, it's not easy for the village chief to go out, let's listen to what he has to say first." ”
"This is easy to do, catch a few male foxes and come back, let them live, the male will be killed and eaten, and the female will be left. ”
The old people's proposals were stronger than the other, but no one could convince anyone, Xiao Zhuo put away the six-tailed fox demon with a dark face, and said, "Introduce a newcomer to everyone, Xiaoyou, you come forward." ”
Chen Sheng walked over with a strange face, and found that the old men who were still arguing with red faces just now were already solemn, with a straight face, and walked over to look at Chen Sheng carefully after a few laps.
"Little one, why can't you think so much at such a young age, and come to such a hellish place. ”
"That is, if you can have this kind of strength and cultivation at this age, your background will not be weak, and the seniors in the sect have not reminded you of anything?"
A group of old people surrounded Chen Sheng, asking a variety of questions, some asking the descendants of the sect, and some asking the fate of the enemy, Chen Sheng learned that the old people in front of him, the youngest of them, were only more than 200 years old.
Ye Lao rushed over when he heard the sound, and laughed non-stop: "Boy, you have a good fortune telling, when Lin Ku first came, there were twice as many people as this." ”
"Speaking of which, uncles, what about the people of the fourth master's lineage?" Xiao Zhuo found that there were a lot of people missing, and asked.
The seventh master didn't reply: "I went hunting in the north, and I said that I found a new beast nest." ”
Hearing this, the smile on Xiao Zhuo's face disappeared a little, and he said slightly angrily: "The fourth master goes out to hunt, so you can stay at home in peace?"
"What do you mean, kid?" The seventh master turned around and said in an unkind tone: "The life of the fourth child is the life of the fourth child, and my seventh child deserves to go out and fight, and you are satisfied when you are tired to death outside?"
"I didn't mean that, you don't know the situation in the north, the fourth master is ...... alone"
Before Xiao Zhuo's words could be finished, he was rudely interrupted, and the seventh master glared: "There are a lot of people who go with the fourth child, and most of the strong people in the village have left, you can't let me even leave no one to guard the village, right?"
Ye Lao smiled lightly, reconciled in the middle, and said: "The strength of the fourth master is not weak, you and me, there will be no problem with him." ”
Xiao Zhuo was a little relieved, his eyes swept over everyone present, and he frowned: "What about the demon clan I captured before?"
"The orders of the seventh master have been sent to the front line. ”
"What?" Xiao Zhuo was dumbfounded, stared at the seventh master who wanted to escape, gritted his teeth and said, "Can you give me a reasonable explanation." ”
"This ...... The village is not strong enough to fight. The seventh master stumbled, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
Xiao Zhuo snorted coldly, let go of the old man for the time being, and turned his gaze to Chen Sheng, "There are a lot of empty houses in the village, you can choose one by yourself, but I personally suggest that it is best not to choose the outer houses." ”
Chen Sheng noticed that when he said the last sentence, a trace of sadness flashed in Xiao Zhuo's eyes.
"It's okay, I have a house in the inner circle, but it's a little dilapidated, if you don't mind, let's stay." Ye Lao spoke, making many old people look sideways.
As an existence in the realm of transforming gods, although Ye Lao is not a human race, he is a frequent visitor in the village, and he has a good relationship with many old people, and it is precisely because of this that they know that Ye Lao is proud in his heart.
The house in the center of the village was not just a house, but one of the earliest origins of the village, and it had an unusual meaning to Ye Lao and everyone.
Sensing many doubtful glances, Chen Sheng just smiled and said, "The scenery on the outskirts of the village is good, senior Lao can help pick a more secluded room." ”
When the words landed, Chen Sheng heard many people breathe a sigh of relief.
"Okay. He glanced at him meaningfully, Ye Lao didn't force it, and took Chen Sheng away after saying goodbye to everyone.
"Do you know how dazzling such a village is in the Beast Domain, and how dangerous it is to live on the outskirts of the village?" The two stopped in front of a small wooden house, and Ye Lao asked with a frown.
"There won't be a god demon intruding every day, right?" Chen Sheng joked, pushed open the door and entered, and found that the layout inside was very simple, except for the basic bed, there was not even a bench.
"You don't look at me like this, it's not that the old man is deliberately making things difficult, but the people in this place are so virtuous, and the houses outside are not inhabited, so it's good to have a bed. Ye Lao pursed his lips and threw off the mattress.
Chen Sheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, the two could only sit on the bed, Chen Sheng said, "Why don't you see Lin Ku?"
"I was taken away by the fourth master, it is said that the relationship between the two ancestors is good, this kid is lucky. Ye Lao said, staring at Chen Sheng, and teasing: "In comparison, your luck is obviously not very good. ”
Subsequently, from the conversation, Chen Sheng learned that the people in the village were roughly divided into two major factions, and the fourth and seventh masters were the leaders of them, plus the neutral Xiao Zhuo, who barely maintained the balance.
"You mean, two of the people who came in with me were taken to the village?"
"That's right, they were all brought back by Xiao Zhuo, there is one who is very seriously injured and has been settled in the central area to recuperate, counting you and Lin Ku, there are four in this broken village. ”
Ye Lao's face was full of playful taste: "Among your group of people, you kid is the least popular, I look at Xiao Clumsy, and I don't seem to like you very much." ”
Chen Sheng's face was slightly gloomy, "I'm a man." ”
After seeing the scene of those old people with blood-red eyes vying to snatch Xue Mei, Chen Sheng was really a little scared, and the people in this village were stronger than the other.
Ye Lao laughed, "When Lin Ku comes back, you will see each other, after all, there was a tribulation." ”
In the end, Ye Lao put down a token of communication and instructed Chen Sheng that if a powerful demon beast attacked, he could use this token to inform him.
Stuffing the token into the corner casually, and covering the room with array patterns all over the place, Chen Sheng was relieved, although this place is all human race, but the attitude towards himself seems to be a little unfriendly, it is better to be more careful.
