"Cold-faced scholar, what is the matter with this old Jianghu looking for me?" Lei Luo guessed.

He hurriedly walked to the place where he was working, and after putting down the medicinal herbs, he didn't classify them, and went straight to the residence of the cold-faced scholar.

When Lei Luo came to this quaint room again, he found that there were three other people in the room besides the cold-faced scholar.

He also knew these three people, they were the trio of Lijiang County, the calm man A Leopard, and his two fat and thin brothers, Mengzi and Skinny.

After seeing Lei Luo come in, the cold-faced scholar beckoned him to sit down, and then looked at the four people in the hall and signaled: "Okay, everyone is here, then I'll talk about the next task." ”

"I think you all know some news more or less, we in Heifeng Village are going to do a big thing with the people of the Bai family, and the head of the Bai family has been planning for a long time, so we can only succeed and not fail, understand!" said the cold-faced scholar with a gloomy expression.

Especially when he said the last sentence, there was a bit of calm in his tone, which made a cold sweat break out on the backs of the three of them.

"I've heard the big boss mention this matter, and when the Bai family arrived that day, we already knew about it, but what does the second boss want the three of us brothers to do?" Among the three, Brother Leopard was the first to raise his questions.

The fierce man and the thin man are not good at these conspiracies, so they are faintly led by him, and he is the only one who can ask questions.

Lei Luo was also a little curious, he didn't expect that he would be able to contact such a confidential matter after only coming to Black Wind Village for a few days.

However, because of his embarrassing position, he didn't want to ask much, so what he could do now was to look at the cold-faced scholar and listen to what his nominal 'boss' would arrange next.

"I want you to go to that place to collect the Heart-Eroding Grass for me, in this matter, these Heart-Eroding Grasses are the most important, you understand!" said the cold-faced scholar gloomily.

"What! that place, the second master, are you sure you need our three brothers to enter that place!"

It's just that his voice trembled a little when he said 'that place', and behind him, there was some horror on the faces of the fierce and thin people.

"Ah Leopard, this time the matter was arranged by the big boss, do you want me to go and tell the big boss that you don't want to go?" The cold-faced scholar said in a more chilly voice this time, which made Ah Leopard's legs tremble.

"The little one doesn't dare, but I'm afraid this trip is very dangerous, in case the three of us don't complete the task, it's not good to do things, and it's a sin to delay the big thing!" said Ah Bao with a bitter face.

As soon as these words came out, the fierce man and the thin man behind him hurriedly nodded, and the three of them looked at the cold-faced scholar with ugly faces, hoping that the other party could open the net and find someone else.

Lei Luo was slightly surprised, as if the place they were talking about was some kind of flood beast, which was a little strange.

Because he often went in and out of this Qingtian Peak Mountain Range when he was a child, even in the depths of the mountain range, where else could he make these gangsters so afraid?

"Hmph, last time I went there once, there was a piece of heart-eroding grass in the outer area that was about to ripen, you only need to find that place in the periphery this time, if it weren't for the people of the Bai family and we all going out to prepare for one or two, I really couldn't pull away, how could I leave this matter to you!"

Seeing that the three subordinates were so timid, the cold-faced scholar turned his whole face dark, and his appearance was really gloomy, and he almost wrote the words 'I want to kill'.

"In this case, the little one naturally doesn't dare to live up to the expectations of the big boss and the second boss, I'll wait for this to prepare!" Seeing that things couldn't be shirked, this always calm leopard brother could only agree with a wry smile.

"Today, you go and prepare, I'll talk to Ergou about the precautions for collecting medicine, and you will set off with him early tomorrow morning, go down now," the cold-faced scholar waved his hand and let the trio leave.

Now there are only two people left in the whole room, Lei Luo and the cold-faced scholar, and the atmosphere is a little cold for a while.

"I don't know what else to order?" After Lei Luo saw Brother Leopard and the three of them leaving, he knew that it should be his own business next, so he bowed down and asked.

There's no way, he's being someone else's little brother now, and he naturally has to behave positively, and he can't let his boss remind him of everything.

"The pharmacology and picking matters of the heart-eroding grass are here, you will be responsible for collecting the medicine when you arrive at the place, they all know about the leopard in that place, and you can ask the leopard on the way if there are any other questions!"

"That's right! This mission is very important, you can only succeed and not fail, you understand!" the cold-faced scholar solemnly reminded Lei Luo again after handing over a blank piece of paper full of words.

"Ergou understands that he will definitely not disappoint the second master!" Lei Luo immediately agreed, and then picked up the blank paper and went out to prepare.

......

Heart-eroding grass is an ominous plant that absorbs dead gas and grows, mostly in natural and poisonous miasma areas, and is nourished by dead gas in human or animal corpses.

This herb is highly poisonous, and when combined with a variety of medicines, it can produce some colorless and odorless deadly poisons, which is definitely the best choice for killing people and selling goods.

The paper given by the cold-faced scholar only wrote about the growth environment and picking matters of the Heart Eater Grass, but when Lei Luo was looking through Lan Jushi's classics before, he had seen such an article as Heart Eater Grass.

"It seems that they are going to use the Heart-Eater to make a poison, but I wonder who this poison is going to be used for?"

He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the Bai family's plan, but the people of Black Wind Village kept silent about this matter, and only a few high-level officials knew about it.

"It seems that I have to ask those three people in the process of collecting medicine this time, I hope the three of them will know a little bit of the inside story, but looking at their scared appearance, it means that it is not a safe place, in case of any danger, it is not impossible for the three of them to be wiped out!"

After thinking for a while, Lei Luo's mind came to the three of them, and there was a trace of murderous intent on their faces.

In this way, Lei Luo checked the contents on the paper and the classics of Lan Jushi, prepared for the collection, and then waited for the arrival of tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Ah Leopard and the three of them came to look for Lei Luo, and the four of them set off from the Black Wind Village with all their tools, and advanced towards the depths of the Optimus Peak Mountain Range.

Along the way, the three of Ah Leopard had a calm face, obviously they still had some grievances about the second master arranging the three of them to do this, and Lei Luo didn't ask for anything.

When the four of them were about to reach the junction between the periphery and the depths of the Qingtian Peak Mountain Range, looking at the nervous faces of the three Leopard Brothers, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Leopard, why are you so careful, is it possible that this destination is very dangerous?"

"It's not dangerous, we usually walk around that place!" the fierce man among the three went straight to the point, and after hearing Lei Luo's question, he said it casually.

"Ah, there is no natural danger in Qingtian Peak, could it be that there are very dangerous beasts?" Lei Luo wondered.

He and his old father hunted here all year round, but they didn't encounter anything that could make the other three feel dangerous.

"It's a cave deep in the Optimus Peak, we all call it the bottomless pit, which means that no one has ever walked to the end of the cave, and the beasts there are completely different from those in the mountains!" explained Leopard this time.

"They're more like monsters than beasts!" chimed in.

Seeing the frightened expression on the face of Brother Leopard, who has always been calm, when he talked about this bottomless pit, Lei Luo was even more curious and wanted to go to this bottomless pit to take a look.

"I don't know which one didn't open his eyes that woke up the beasts in the depths of the cave, causing us to die so many brothers, but this time the second master said that we only need to move around the periphery of the cave, and as long as we move quickly, we won't encounter any danger in the periphery," Mengzixin chattered again this time.

"Beast, is it a tiger or what, it is indeed dangerous for a person to encounter it, but listening to what you mean by Brother Leopard, it seems to be something more terrifying than a tiger," Lei Luo said strangely.

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, with the strength of their internal martial arts, and in the case of a large number of people, what beast can make them suffer heavy damage.

"Tiger, it was indeed a tiger that came out last time, but that tiger was unusual, not only was the hair all over its body black, but it was at least several times the size of an ordinary tiger, and our knife slashed at that beast, and there was no wound, but we had too many brothers killed in the fight, and there was no way to retreat!" Mengzi recalled.

He had a ghost-like expression on his face when he spoke of the tiger, even the leopard and the thin man.

"It seems that this trip is indeed dangerous, then we must be more cautious this time, otherwise it is unknown whether we can survive or not" Lei Luo thought about it after hearing this.

However, what he was thinking in his heart was that when he got to the bottomless pit, could he kill the three leopards, and then blame those fierce beasts, so that he could die without proof.

"Ergouzi, when the time comes, let's enter this bottomless pit, try not to make too much noise, the danger situation on the periphery is relatively low, you will leave immediately after collecting the medicine, this can be regarded as completing the task, but please move quickly," Brother Leopard began to plan and calculate.

"That's natural, I don't know any martial arts, and I can't fight back when I encounter that kind of beast that chooses people and devours people," Lei Luo said in horror after pretending to be scared.

Seeing this, Brother Leopard nodded and led the way in front, and after walking for almost two hours, they finally went deep into the interior of the Optimus Peak Mountain Range.

I don't know if it's luck, I didn't encounter any fierce beasts along the way, only encountered some wild dogs and jackals, which were easily solved by fierce and thin people, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.

When he saw a mountain crack several zhang high and more than ten zhang wide appear in front of the four of them, Lei Luo knew that the destination of their trip might have arrived.

"This looks like an eye on the mountain, is this the bottomless pit?" he asked the three of them beside him.

But when he saw the other party's ugly face, he knew the answer, this place is a bottomless pit!
