Chapter 5: The Dangerous Dark Silent Forest

The outer perimeter of the dark and lonely forest

There was some noise on the periphery of the dark and silent forest, and the birds resting here flew out in unison.

I saw that at the outermost periphery of the silent forest, a group of people dressed in the clothes of the Qian family came, and there was a person in the middle of the crowd, this person was Qian Wuyong, the young master of the Qian family.

Qian Wu wore some gold silk and jade brocade from head to toe, and the gold wire inlaid on the costume reflected the dazzling golden light under the sunlight, and the gold folding fan was slowly fanning. He dressed up for fear that others would not know that his family was wealthy.

"Young Master Qian, do you say that we are short of money? Why do you want to help the government work because of this bounty, our family is in the city of Shang, but only one hand covers the sky, and there is no one who disobeys you wherever you go. ”

"You don't have to do this kind of small thing yourself, just leave it all to us."

A housekeeper kept bragging.

Qian Wuyong showed a sly smile and said proudly: "You don't understand this, do you?"

"I know the kid on this portrait, that kid is called Tang Wanchen."

A family member asked, "Young Master, you have a noble status, how can you know a hairy boy?"

Qian Wuyong's eyes seemed to be burning, and he suddenly picked up the folding fan in his hand and slapped the arm of the family next to him, causing the family to grin in pain.

"This thief has lost a lot of money in the major gambling markets in my business, this morning, young master, I calculated this account, this thief owes a total of 50,000 taels of silver, and now this person has not dared to leave the city for more than a month."

"This man is now being rewarded by the government for finding him to our advantage. I just wanted to find this guy too, and it's a double thing."

A family member chimed in: "It turned out to be a gambling bug who owes money, so it seems that this person must be found."

"According to the subordinates, there are a large number of spirit beasts living in the depths of the dark and lonely spirits, and these spirit beasts will come out to hunt at night, if it is not for the immortal cultivators, I am afraid that they will not dare to approach this forest easily. Moreover, the subordinates also heard that there is a demonic beast forest in the depths of the dark and silent forest, and there are demonic beasts living in it! It is a cannibalistic existence, and immortal cultivators dare not enter it easily!"

After saying this, I saw that the other family members in the same company turned pale with fright, and their hands and feet kept shaking. A few of the family members were already retreating and began to secretly retreat.

Qian Wuyong saw that his subordinates were so cowardly, and he was angry. He scolded angrily: "Usually everyone eats and drinks well, but at the critical moment, it is simply a group of wine bags and rice bags."

Then patted his chest and swore and said: "Young master, I have a life-saving spiritual treasure on my body, you can rest assured that you will come with me."

As soon as these words came out, everyone put down their hanging hearts.

A family member asked suspiciously, "Young Master, why did we choose to come to the Dark Silent Forest to find someone in so many places?"

Qian Wuyong looked at the forest in front of him, and said with some confusion: "I have always been lucky, I bet he should hide here."

"Now we're going to split into three teams and go in to find the thief, and if we find him at the first time, we'll set off flares."

The outer part of the dark and silent forest is relatively well-lit compared to the inside, but as it gets deeper and deeper, it gradually becomes pitch black, and when you look up, you can only see white spots of light reflected in the obscurations of branches and leaves.

Qian Wu ordered someone to light a torch, and only with the help of the torch ground light could he barely see the road ahead.

A thin and thin man seemed to hear some strange sound, and was so frightened that he covered his ears and sat on the ground shivering.

"Young master, I heard the sound of a lot of spirit beasts approaching, what should I do now, if I meet a group of ghost wolves, then I will die!"

"Waste, afraid to go back the way you came!"

After bowing gratefully to Qian Wuyong, Jia Ding spread his legs and ran back.

The family kept running, tired and panting. So I found a rock and sat down to rest.

Jia Ding found that the way he ran back was slightly different from the road he had just entered, "Could it be that I remembered the wrong route?" Thinking of this, Jia Ding's face turned pale like white paper in an instant, and cold sweat continued to ooze from his forehead.

"Am I lost? It's over, it's over, I haven't heard of anyone who got lost in the Dark Silent Forest and came out alive.

"Daddy, mother, the child is not filial, I can't go back and continue to take care of you!"

The emaciated family lay on the ground in despair, crying to death.

The cry of the house woke up the wolves sleeping nearby, the ghost wolves have a keen sense of hearing, their ears can hear the sound of the position, and they can judge the location of the prey by hearing the slightest sound. It can also be seen clearly in the dark, and the ghost wolf is the spirit animal with the highest group combat ability in the dark and silent forest.

Several ghost wolves judged the location of the family and ran towards the direction of the family with their fangs open.

Jiading heard the sparse ghost wolf footsteps not far away, and his heart was already desperate, and this time the gods couldn't save him.

Without warning, a ghost wolf jumped out of the grass and jumped in front of Jiading, and bit Jiading's left hand with one mouth, and Jiading kept pulling his left hand back, and his right hand kept smashing the ghost wolf's head with his fist.

Hearing only a "click", Jiading's left arm was torn off by the ghost wolf, and his left arm was chewed twice by the ghost wolf and swallowed into his stomach.

After his left arm was torn off, bright red blood splattered out of the wound like a spring, staining the ground around him with blood, and he almost fainted in pain.

The smell of blood emitted by Jia Ding's blood attracted the attention of more spirit beasts, and they saw that the originally dark forest suddenly had a lot more colorful and shiny eyes, and Jia Ding's thin figure was not enough for these spirit beasts to eat.

In despair, he closed his eyes and did not move.

"Boom", there were a few sounds of the air cutting through the air, followed by a few ghostly howls.

As several ghost wolves were knocked down by flying needles from nowhere, the clouded leopards that were gathering momentum in the shadows also jumped out.

The speed of the clouded leopard is surprisingly fast, and the flying needle can barely hit the clouded leopard.

I saw the clouded leopard pounce in the direction of Jiading, and it looked like it was about to pounce on Jiading.

There was a man wearing a hat standing on the tree next to Jiading, I saw him quickly take off the leather whip from his back and whipped it fiercely in the direction of Jiading, only to hear a "click", the clouded leopard was struck by the leather whip drawn from the sky at the moment when he approached Jiading, and a terrible roar came out of the clouded leopard's mouth.

The black shadow wearing the hat did not want to give the clouded leopard a chance to breathe, and he jumped lightly from the tree to the ground, and lashed at the clouded leopard.

The clouded leopard has two more blood-red mouths on its body, and its skin is open.

The black shadow with the hat did not want to let the clouded leopard go, but he put the whip back behind his back, and then took out a flute from the placket of his chest.

The black shadow in the hat slowly approached the clouded leopard while playing the flute.

The ferocity and coldness in the clouded leopard's eyes gradually eased, and then he withdrew his vigilant posture and sat quietly on the ground listening to the rhythm of the flute.

The black shadow of the hat stood in front of the clouded leopard and stopped playing the flute. He squatted down and stroked the clouded leopard's head a few times with his slowly stretched out arm, only to see that the clouded leopard was as obedient as a house cat at this time, and it was simply two different creatures from its fierce appearance just now.

The black figure with the hat took a small bottle from his sleeve and opened it, sprinkling some powder on the clouded leopard's wound.

After doing this, the black shadow of Dai Dou Li's hat rubbed the clouded leopard's head twice, and ordered: "Go ahead, don't attack people in the future, I will call you when I need you."

When the clouded leopard sitting on the ground heard this, he got up from the ground obediently, then rubbed his head against the black shadow's feet, and then jumped into the grass next to him and disappeared.

A powerful hand lifted the broken arm from the ground, and the black shadow wearing the hat found a fire fold from his body, and after opening it, the surroundings were instantly brightened by the firelight.

At this time, because of excessive blood loss, Jia Ding looked like people would have double vision, so he rubbed his eyes with his only remaining hand. Jia Ding's eyes widened in surprise, the person who saved him in front of him was actually Tang Wanchen they were looking for, although Tang Wanchen was wearing a hat on his head, but the facial features in that portrait were exactly the same as this person.

Jia Ding was so grateful that he was ready to kneel down to express his gratitude to Tang Wanchen.

Tang Wanchen saw that the family was about to kneel, and hurriedly stopped him.

Jia Ding was incoherent excitedly, and said excitedly: "I thought I would die this time, but I didn't expect to be pulled out of the ghost gate by Tang Shaoxia! ”

Tang Wanchen looked at some of the family members who had lost their blood color due to excessive blood loss.

"Don't say it yet, help me hold the fire fold."

After speaking, Tang Wanchen handed the fire fold to the family, and then Tang Wanchen took out the small medicine bottle that was just treating the clouded leopard, and then reminded him with concern.

"You bear with it, it may hurt a little, the Qianshu powder that my godmother prepared for me has the effect of stopping bleeding and reducing inflammation, although it is a little irritating, but the effect is very good. ”

Jia Ding nodded and replied with a smile: "It's okay, thank you Tang Shaoxia."

"Ahh

Jia Ding's scalp was bruised in pain, but after a while, his expression returned to steady.

Tang Wanchen put the medicine bottle back into her sleeve, then looked at the family carefully, and asked, "I see that I should be wearing the clothes of the Qian family, right? But now I'm too shy to take it. ”

Jia Ding nodded and praised: "Tang Shaoxia is really smart, I haven't said what we want to do this time, Shaoxia has already guessed it."

Tang Wanchen scolded disdainfully: "Cut, who doesn't know that Qian Wu regards wealth as his life, and he can't tolerate others owing him money." ”

Jia Ding smiled a little embarrassedly and scratched his head.

Tang Wanchen suddenly looked at the family with ill intentions and said, "What's your name, when are you going to Qian's house?"

Jia Ding replied respectfully: "The little one is called Gou Qi, and he has been in the Qian family for almost six years."

Tang Wanchen praised: "Dog Seven, a good name."

The family shyly bowed his hand and expressed his gratitude.

Tang Wanchen said a little pretentiously: "Dog Qi, since I saved you, can you help me do something?"

Gou Qi replied briskly: "Tang Shaoxia is now my reborn parents, even if you ask me to beat my young master now, I will do it!"

Tang Wanchen was amused by Gou Qi's words.

"I don't want you to beat your young master, I want you to stay by his side and pay attention to his movements, if there is anything that is not fluent to me in the future, find a way to contact me immediately, you know?"

Jia Ding readily agreed to Tang Wanchen's request, and then said with some embarrassment: "Tang Shaoxia, can you take me out of here, I'm afraid that I will be miserable if you leave."

Tang Wanchen patted Gou Qi's shoulder with a smile and said, "Come with me, I fled from He Ganniang, I have lived in this forest for a long time, and I know the route here best."

Gou Qi handed the fire fold in his hand to Tang Wanchen, but Tang Wanchen didn't look at it, waved his hand and refused.

"What does it matter if there is a fire like us children who live in darkness?
