Guo Yang looked back at the little tree, and silently thought in his heart: "Little tree, little tree, thank you for your little fruit, I, Guo Yang, remember your kindness." You can grow well here, let the stinky bird outside continue to steal the little blue stone for you, and it won't be long before you are a good tree again!"

Guo Yang carefully inspected his body, tied his clothes tightly together, held the sickle-shaped blade, and carefully drilled out of the hole.

As soon as he showed his head, the big bird hissed, spread its huge wings, and flew into it.

Guo Yang was prepared, and the blade in his right hand waved vigorously, and a sound of "woo-woo" broke through the air. The big bird was taken aback, seemed to be very jealous, circled, and dodged.

Seeing this, Guo Yang was like a thin monkey, and quickly climbed to the bottom of the cliff with his hands and feet.

The big bird was unwilling to keep pounced, but every time he was close, he was forced to retreat by the blade in Guo Yang's hand.

In less than a cup of tea, Guo Yang finally landed on the ground without danger. Looking up and looking at the small hole more than 30 zhang high, he was a little incredible: "This escaped?"

Guo Yang was in a daze, and three figures ran out of the nearby groves, and they were Zhang Xiaopang, Li Xiaochun and Geng Danian.

A burst of warmth flowed through Guo Yang's heart, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist. However, when he shook his head, he smiled playfully: "Wow, look at me, I don't want to come down with delicious food and drink in the cave above." ”

Zhang Xiaopang and the other three ran to Guo Yang's side, greeted him in surprise, and were about to hug, but as a result, the three of them frowned, their faces full of disdain and disgust.

Guo Yang was stunned for a moment, looked at himself, and couldn't help laughing. Not to mention that his body was full of greasy black stains, and the smell of nausea seemed to be unbearable even for himself.

"Vomit-" Zhang Xiaopang couldn't help it at first, and while apologizing to Guo Yang, he opened his mouth and vomited loudly.

Then, Li Xiaochun and Geng Danian also began to vomit.

"It's not so exaggerated, is it?

——————————————————————————

"It's all your fault, it's clear that I'm still disgusting, and I can't help it if I let the three of you vomit. Lying on the grass near a stream, Guo Yang looked at Zhang Xiaopang and the other three, and said with a glare.

"Okay, okay, it's all our fault. It's because we have no interest ourselves, and we vomit because of the random smell of your Uncle Guo. Zhang Xiaopang looked at Guo Yang with disdain on his face and said.

"That's it, you can be regarded as an outer disciple of my Taiwang Sect, you can tell me, why do you have to do this?" Guo Yang said lazily.

"Okay, well, we don't have a chance, so the little fish in this creek should always have a chance, right? Look, let you wash it like this once, and they will all die. Li Xiaochun looked at the more than ten small fish floating on the water with white bellies, and said with a sad face.

"This ...... Are all of these fish sick and suddenly all of them dead?" Guo Yang said stupidly.

"Let's go, after a few days of delay, we are all lagging behind the others, don't let everyone finish digging up the medicine. Geng Danian said angrily.

The four of them discussed it for a while, and then set off quickly. After all, if the sect's mission can't be completed, then you won't be able to eat and walk around.

Guo Yang and the others seemed to have used up all their luck in the first few days, and in the next ten days, they didn't even dig up a decent medicinal herb. On the contrary, from time to time, he was frightened by the fierce beast that rushed out several times.

However, those tigers, leopards and jackals, who were originally fierce and abnormal, would often suddenly retract their bodies when they saw the four of them, as if they were afraid, and slowly retreated.

Slowly, everyone noticed the anomaly and looked at each other, really not knowing what was going on.

Among the four, only Guo Yang vaguely guessed that what these beasts were afraid of seemed to be himself. He quietly checked it, but found nothing unusual on his body. I gradually lost my mind.

Since they couldn't dig up the medicinal herbs, the four of them simply followed the other teams far behind, and they didn't bother to search for them anymore. Anyway, according to the judgment of Guo Yang and the others, the medicinal materials they dug on this trip should definitely be regarded as the biggest harvest among all the medicine collection groups.

The forty-day task of collecting medicine will soon be over, and according to the pharmacist's regulations, the last few days should be the time for everyone to slowly meet and return to Qingyundu.

In this way, the team of Guo Yang and others has become the first to walk on the return journey.

Several people took down the large medicine box that Geng Danian was carrying, carefully calculated the task items, and roughly estimated that everyone would spread it evenly, at least about thirty taels of silver.

In other words, it far exceeds the mandate of the sect.

In this way, the four of them walked back easily, but it was a bit of a pleasure in the mountains and rivers.

On the third day of their return, when they were about to arrive at the cold pool, Guo Yang and the others ran into trouble.

The two masked men blocked the way of Guo Yang and the other four, looked at them coldly, and did not say a word.

The four of them were taken aback, they had never encountered such a situation, but subconsciously thought: they had encountered a robbery.

Guo Yang felt that his lips were very dry, and he couldn't help but want to lick them. Unexpectedly, the moment he stuck out his tongue, Guo Yang was depressed and found that his tongue was drier than his lips, and even a little astringent.

"Two heroic uncles, how are you. Zhang Xiaopang has always prided himself on being good at dealing with it, but at this moment, when he looked at Guo Yang and the other three, he knew that this matter was difficult to be good, so he stepped forward and said with his fists clenched.

The two masked men glanced at Zhang Xiaopang coldly, and then turned to Geng Danian indifferently. To be precise, he looked at the big medicine box that Geng Danian was carrying on his shoulder.

Geng Danian shrank his neck and hurriedly took two steps back.

"Two heroic uncles, we are from the medicine collection team sent by the Taiwang, please consult the names of the two uncles. Zhang Xiaopang knew in his heart, and he really couldn't help it, so he thought that he could delay it for as long as he could, and it was best to drag it until the big team came behind.

However, Zhang Xiaopang's abacus seemed to be wrong, and the two masked men suddenly made a move, Cang Langlang pulled out his blade and slashed it without a sound.

Zhang Xiaopang was shocked, he had long forgotten the actions of his daily training, and he only knew how to scream, and ran backwards with his head in his arms.

The two ignored Zhang Xiaopang, and rushed straight to Geng Danian, and as soon as they stretched out their hands, they were about to grab the big medicine box in their hands.

Geng Danian was shocked, he didn't know how to dodge for a while, and he didn't know how to resist, but he saw that the two people were about to snatch the big medicine box.

The first to react was Li Xiaochun, who shook the steel fork, screamed, and stabbed at one of the masked men. The masked man snorted coldly, and with a knife in his hand, he slashed the steel fork away. Li Xiaochun's hands shook violently, and when he looked down, he found that his two hands were dripping with blood.

Just when another masked man grabbed the big medicine box in his hand, Guo Yang made a move.

He didn't make a sound, but he was unusually fast, and the sickle-shaped blade in his hand flashed, and he was already in his hand. In the blink of an eye, Guo Yang flashed behind the big man, and with a "woo-" sound, the man started from the right side of his neck and went to the left side near his waist, and was suddenly torn apart by the blade in Guo Yang's hand.

With a scream, the man threw himself forward, fell limply to the ground, twitched twice, and was silent again.

The masked man who cut Li Xiaochun's steel fork was stunned for a moment, and before he could come back to his senses, he heard a "woo-" sound, and his waist was cold. The man felt bad, and was about to say something, but his eyes rolled, and he fell to the ground, convulsed several times, and was silent.

A neat wound slowly opened, and Li Xiaochun and the others were surprised to find that the masked man had been cut off by Guo Yang's sickle-shaped blade.

Several people gasped, couldn't help but take two steps back, and looked at Guo Yang in surprise.

Guo Yang did it just now, it was purely a bad breath, he only thought about how long he could resist it, and as for killing people, that was something he hadn't thought about at all.

was killed by himself in a photo, Guo Yang even felt that this was definitely not true.

"Two ...... Uncle Haohan, I'm sorry, let's divide the medicinal materials equally, if we don't keep anything at all, we don't dare to go back to the sect. Guo Yang's lips trembled, and he was a little incoherent.

After a long while, the two masked men really didn't move, and Guo Yang stopped being verbose. Just looking at the two corpses in front of me, I was still a little suspicious.

"Everyone is dead, and there is a fart medicine!" Zhang Xiaopang finally reacted from the panic, looked left and right vigilantly, and said in a low voice: "Let's hurry up, who knows if there are any robbers nearby!"

Guo Yang and the other three nodded yes again and again, and rushed forward in a panic.

Just as they were about to escape from the Cloud Mountain, the four teenagers stopped out of breath.

Zhang Xiaopang led a few people into a small forest, and randomly found a small cave to get into.

Guo Yang was still not at ease, so he casually moved a few large rocks to seal the entrance of the cave, and then he felt a little at ease.

"We've killed people, and it's terrible. Remember, we're just here waiting for others to come out, and we'll follow behind and pretend we don't know anything!" Zhang Xiaopang said with a solemn face.

Guo Yang, as the main culprit, of course, nodded again and again in a panic, feeling that Zhang Xiaopang was simply his own brother.

Li Xiaochun and Geng Danian finally escaped with their lives, and naturally agreed with Zhang Xiaopang's idea.

The four of them hid in the cave for a day and a night, and the rest of the medicine collection team walked out of Yunwu Mountain one after another. Guo Yang and the other four quietly came out of the cave and gathered into the crowd unconsciously.

"Hey, have you heard, Huang Yaoshi was killed!" a young man asked the person next to him in a low voice.

"I heard that Wu Zhaoran, who was at the forefront, found it by their group. A sarcastic teenager also whispered.

"Not only Huang Yaoshi, but also an inner disciple was also killed. It's so miserable, I was chopped by someone. A teenager sighed in a low voice.

Guo Yang and the other four people were mixed in the crowd, and when they heard everyone talking, they couldn't help but be stunned: "Those two people, one is the leader of this mission, Huang Yaoshi, and the other is an inner disciple?"

The four of them stared at each other, and their faces turned green with fright for a while. Especially Guo Yang, thinking that he had killed Huang Yaoshi and an inner disciple who led the team, he was so frightened that he couldn't wait to slip away.

However, looking at everyone's appearance, it seems that they don't know who did it. Guo Yang gave Zhang Xiaopang and the others a look, and slowly fell at the end of the team.

"What should I do? Damn, such a leading pharmacist, how can he pretend to rob!" Zhang Xiaopang cursed in a low voice.

"In this way, the four of us must pretend that we don't know anything. In addition, except for Li Xiaochun, the sickle-shaped blades of the three of us must be destroyed. If we change the blade, others will never know that those two were killed by a few of us!" Guo Yang said in a low voice.

Several teenagers had decided to discuss it, so they went their separate ways. They first found a very secret pool of water with the sickle-shaped blade in their hand, threw it down, and then managed to get a blade of other shapes each, and then pretended to blend into the crowd as if nothing happened.

Fortunately, they also knew that when the sect set off on this mission, there was no special registration of everyone's blades, and they were all prepared by everyone privately. This created extremely favorable conditions for Guo Yang and others to destroy the murder weapon.

A few days later, the team returned to Qingyundu. The shopkeeper of the King Tower personally greeted the gate and instructed several pharmacists to register the medicinal materials collected by each team one by one, and quickly organized people to classify and evaluate.

Guo Yang and the others had ghosts in their hearts, but they had to show an excited look, mingling in the crowd, waiting for the evaluation results.

More than an hour later, the results came out, and Guo Yang's team dug medicinal materials worth one hundred and fifty taels of silver.

However, this is not the highest, and certainly not the lowest.

This result is what Guo Yang and the other four want to see the most. Maintain the middle level, so that it is not conspicuous, and it is not easy to expose the matter of killing the pharmacist and the inner disciple who led the team. Every one of them understands it.

Subsequently, the shopkeeper Wang instructed a pharmacist surnamed Zhou to arrange a celebration banquet to wish the first batch of medicine collection teams a great success.

Throughout the night, the Taiwang Tower was brightly lit and festive.

And the strangest thing about Guo Yang and the other four teenagers was that everyone seemed to be silent about the death of the pharmacist and the inner disciple who led the team, as if these two people never existed at all.

Guo Yang watched coldly while drinking and coaxing with more than a hundred high-spirited teenagers, and gradually realized: "It seems that this King Taiwang's party doesn't care about the life and death of one or two disciples at all, they only recognize money, and they only recognize the use of them to continuously collect a large number of medicinal materials. ”

Guo Yang figured out this, couldn't help but feel chills behind his back, and secretly warned himself that in the future, he must live more carefully.

"Live......" Guo Yang drank a big sip of wine with a few teenagers, coaxed for a while, suddenly lost his mind, and sighed secretly.
