Three days later, at dusk, on a large old rock outside the village, a slightly thin figure of a little girl with two pigtails stood on it, her eyes constantly looking into the distant woods.

The small and lovely face was full of worry, and the bright little eyes were full of hope in them, and the whole little body looked motionless at the outside of the village.

The little girl's cute appearance also caused the adults passing by in the village to chuckle constantly, but even so, when they passed by the little girl, they would whisper a word of advice to the little girl to pay attention to safety.

At the edge of the big rock stood several children younger than the little girl, who were also looking eagerly at the only road outside the village.

"Sister Tianyin, have you seen Uncle Lu Hong and them come back?", one of the children asked crisply.

Seeing this, the other children also opened their mouths, like a flock of birds separated from the flock, chattering.

"You all be careful, don't come up, what if you slip and fall"

The little girl named Tianyin shouted quietly, and as she continued to look into the distant woods, she helped a few children who wanted to climb up.

At the same time, in the woods three miles away from the village, two figures, one white and one red, collided at a very fast speed, and at the same time there was a sound of gold and iron clashing, and then quickly separated, moving on the tree.

The two figures moved so fast that it would be difficult for ordinary people to catch them if they weren't focused on, and everywhere they passed was leaves flying and broken branches of trees all over the ground.

Judging from the silhouettes of the two figures, the white figure should be a human with profound cultivation, while the red figure is an ape beast covered in red body hair, and from time to time it will let out a sharp cry at the white figure during the battle.

These cries seemed to have an inexplicable power, and every time the white figure heard it, he would feel a trace of sleepiness in his mind, so that he had to bite his tongue secretly to refresh himself.

Even so, the fight between the two figures was still extremely fierce, and every time they were about to stop, they would be interrupted by each other's attacks, and they had to continue to move quickly between the trees to get rid of the opponent's attack and interrupt the rhythm of the opponent's attack.

Especially the red figure, the sudden explosion will make its speed even faster, even the white figure is not paying attention to being bullied by it, coupled with the inexplicable powerful cry from its mouth, the two cooperate with each other, the sneak attack on the white figure is almost perfect.

Even if it is a white figure, in the face of such an excellent combat method cooperation, in the end, it can only jump to the branch of another tree to avoid it dangerously.

However, both sides seem to have a consensus, although each other's offensives are compact and dense, and the tricks are also a bit tricky, they have not really made a dead hand.

At the beginning of the battle, there were dozens of elite men, as well as a group of half-human-tall apes with brown body hair, and judging from the positions and postures of the two sides, they were obviously in a state of confrontation.

Dozens of big men were dressed in simple cloth clothes, but their bodies naturally revealed a fierce aura, and all of them had not weak cultivation.

And the weapons they hold in their hands are also varied, some are like burning sticks for stoves, some are maces covered with spikes, and some are ordinary long sticks.

And the group of apes who confronted these big men also seemed to have good intelligence, and they all had a kind of shrewdness in their eyes.

As for their hands, they also hold some special weapons, including stones, long vines, and wooden sticks, and they also stand on their feet, like humans, facing dozens of big men.

In the middle of the two sides, there are three ceramic jars the size of buckets, and one is inserted in the middle of the three jars, burning only a tenth of the incense.

The three jars are wrapped in layers of dry mud, and the mouth of the altar is tightly sealed, without a trace of gaps.

Judging from the eager gazes of the two sides looking into the jars, and their wary expressions on each other, it is clear that what the three jars contain is the cause of the conflict between the two sides.

But in addition, behind dozens of big men, there are nearly fifty bags of marijuana, each of which is very swollen and full of things.

Judging from some of the things exposed from the mouth of the sack, what it contained were some fruits with a lot of spiritual energy and some more common medicinal herbs.

The two sides have been standing on both sides of the altar like this, except for holding their breath and watching the two figures of one man, one beast and two figures fighting in the distance, occasionally glancing at each other from the corner of their eyes, without any other movements, and they don't seem to be worried that the other party will suddenly attack.

"Brother Hong, I didn't expect that Lin Xiaozi was so powerful, he could actually compete with the leader of this group of soul crying apes for such a long time without losing", one of the elite men looked at the movement coming from a distance, and sighed towards a big man at the front.

"Alas, I thought that Brother Lin was just an ordinary person, but I didn't expect his strength to be so powerful, he doesn't seem to be twenty yet", the other person also spoke, and there seemed to be other plans in his tone.

"Tut, how old is your housekeeper Brother Lin, the little guy in your family is still young, but the girl in my family just looks like Brother Lin is a few years old", and one of them even directly stated his plan, looking at the figure in white in the distance is becoming more and more satisfied.

"Okay, you all wake me up, is it time for you to think about this, don't think about these things that you have and don't have," said Lu Hong, who was at the forefront of these people.

But his eyes never left the swift battle in the distance, and his eyes were always locked on the flowing fighting style between the two, and there was a deep amazement in his eyes.

"Brother Hong, this time we have to have Brother Lin here, otherwise we might really be caught in the Dao of this group of soul apes", a person behind Lu Hong looked at the opposite side and smiled at the grinning soul ape on their side.

"I didn't expect these soul apes to become more and more cunning, their leader is so powerful without any sound, if it weren't for Lin Xiaozi, the things that our village has worked hard to accumulate for a year will be given to them in vain", Lu Hong also sighed, and at the same time there was a trace of happiness in his heart, if it wasn't for saving such a powerful teenager, I'm afraid it would be really difficult to explain this trip back.

And when they sighed, the pillar of incense inserted in the jar had already burned out, and only a small short stick was left after it was burned.

The two figures that were still fighting sensed this at the same time, and after colliding together again, they didn't stop in place, just a few breaths, and appeared on both sides of the three jars.

"Uncle Lu Hong, Lin Chen is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he finally insists on the time of a pillar of incense", after stopping, Lin Chen didn't have time to calm down some chaotic true qi in his body, turned to Lu Hong and smiled slightly.

The person who fought against the leader of the Soul Crying Ape was none other than Lin Chen, and since he came to his senses three days ago, it had taken him two full days to restore his state to the best with Lu Hong's help.

As for Lu Hong in Lin Chen's mouth, he was naturally the middle-aged man who came out of the crowd three days ago, and he was also the father of the little girl who gave medicine to himself.

And during this time, through contact and conversation with Lu Hong, Lin Chen already knew where he was now.

The village where he is now is called Lujia Village, and it can be known from the name that the people who live in the village are all people surnamed Lu, and Lujia Village is not very large, and there are less than 30 families in the entire village.

The person with the highest strength in the entire village is Lu Hong, who has the realm of the sixfold peak of the day after tomorrow, and he is only one step away from breaking through to the innate realm.

Although most of the rest of the people are in the acquired realm, most of them are in the first or second realm of the day after tomorrow, and they have been stuck in this realm for many years, and the possibility of further progress is very slim.

Because the location of Lujia Village is at the edge of a forest, the most important living materials are obtained from the forest, such as this time, which is a kind of monkey wine carefully brewed by these soul apes.

This kind of monkey wine has a lot of uses for Lujia Village, whether it is used for cultivation or other purposes, it is a very important material, just like the medicinal bath used to treat Lin Chen, which was mixed with some monkey wine.

And for Lu Hong, this time his goal is not only these more ordinary monkey wines, but the more precious monkey wines of more than fifty years, only when he gets this kind of vintage, he can use the huge aura and medicinal power in it to break through to the early stage of innate nature.

Lin Chen originally wanted to take out some Centennial Milk from the storage ring and give it to Lu Hong to repay Lu Hong for saving his life.

It's just that after he expressed his intentions, Lu Hong clearly rejected his kindness, so in order to repay the favor, Lin Chen had to come to the residence of the soul ape with them, so that there was the battle just now.

This kind of battle is not a matter of life and death, but a battle of victory and defeat, and it is said that it is a kind of agreement made between Lujiacun and the ancestors of these soul apes hundreds of years ago, and it is to measure the degree of each other's material acquisition by fighting.

The winning side can get more supplies at a fraction of the cost, while the losing side must abide by the agreement and not go back.

As for the conditions for judging, it is natural whether the people sent by Lujia Village can hold on to a full pillar of incense under the attack of these soul crying ape leaders.

Now that Lin Chen has done it, Lujiacun is naturally the victorious side, and he only needs to pay a smaller price to harvest more monkey wine.

"Thank you Lin boy, this time I will be thanks to you, but you better go to the side first to calm your breath, you can leave the rest to us, and we will never let your efforts be in vain", Lu Hong stepped forward and patted Lin Chen's shoulder and said with a smile.

"That's right, this time there is Brother Laurin, and we'll leave the rest to us, and promise to make this group of cunning guys pay"

"Hahaha, it's funny to see them look like now, they kept provoking us before, mocking me and making small movements, this time I don't think they will be so angry, Brother Lin, you rest first, let everyone come"

As Lu Hong spoke, the others also followed suit, and the pleasure in their words was not concealed, regardless of the soul ape grinning at them on the other side.

Since Lu Hong had already spoken, Lin Chen couldn't refuse his kindness, so after greeting everyone, he walked to the open space on the side to breathe and meditate.

As for the rest of the matters, they will naturally be handled by Lu Hong and the men of Lujia Village, after all, they are professional in these matters.
