After half an hour, Lu Chen and Tang Xuan finally arrived at Niutou Mountain.
Niutou Mountain looks like a creeping old cow from a distance, the mountains are undulating, lush, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.
The two of them tied the flamingo to a large tree pole and hurried into the forest.
"Lu Chen, what kind of blood-washing grass are you looking for, tell me about it!" Tang Xuan held a delicate purple-blue sword, and while walking towards the mountain, he carefully groped around with his big eyes open.
Seeing her stunned appearance, Lu Chen couldn't help but wonder: "Don't look for it, there is no such place." The blood-washing flower is like the palm of the hand, red like blood, born with water, and likes to live in the shade, this kind of rain and dew is not suitable for its growth!"
"Oh, that's the case! Niutou Mountain is so big, so where should we find it!" Tang Xuan looked up at the towering mountains and forests, and her pretty face suddenly became bitter.
Lu Chen stepped on the dead branches and rotten leaves on the ground, and said unhurriedly: "Look inside, it should be easy to find it in some dimly lit places, this herb is very common, don't worry, you will find it!"
Tang Xuan listened to Lu Chen's words, and was a little skeptical: "Really, don't lie to me, if something goes wrong with my father, you are the only one who asks!"
Lu Chen didn't take this little girl's threat to heart, just silently looked at the beautiful scenery around him, with a look as calm as water.
After walking for a while, they soon arrived at the hinterland of Niutou Mountain, a clear stream gradually appeared in their field of vision, and the sound of gurgling water echoed in the mountain forest, as if a beautiful music sounded in their ears, which made people feel intoxicated. Coupled with the surrounding green mountains and green waters, birds and flowers, these extremely beautiful scenery is definitely a good place to visit the mountains and rivers in normal times. Walking by the river, Tang Xuan saw that Lu Chen had not spoken for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "Hey, why don't you keep quiet." If I say a few words casually, you'll be angry!"
Lu Chen walked slowly on the pebbles by the river, seemingly careless, but in fact paying attention to the wind and grass around him. Passing by a rock, I found a black herb with leaves like a snake hyacinth growing under the soil, and there was a faint fishy smell coming out, and the appearance was quite peculiar.
"Hundred Flowers Snake Tongue Grass, there is actually such a good thing, which can solve the problem of that Rotten Heart Pill!" he was overjoyed, and hurriedly squatted down, picked it, and put it in his arms.
He was also quite surprised, he didn't expect that this small Niutou Mountain actually grew a hundred flowers snake tongue grass that restrains all poisons in the world, and his luck was too good. Returning to Wushuang City, finding a few other herbs to assist in it, it is a small problem to dissolve the Rotten Heart Pill!
"Hey, talking to you, how can it be like a piece of wood!" Tang Xuan walked behind, slightly annoyed and said, as the daughter of the city lord, she is used to brocade clothes and jade food, and she has developed a delicate temperament since she was a child, who dares not to listen to her, it is indispensable to make things difficult and teach a lesson. In Wushuang City, except for her sister, no one has ever dared to treat her with this attitude, and she talked to him by herself, this Lu Chen actually dared to ignore her, it was unreasonable.
Good men don't fight with women, Lu Chen is too lazy to bother with her, he stands up and continues to walk forward, if he changes to the temperament of three years ago, this wild and untamable girl is afraid that he will be stripped naked and thrown into the river, where are so many words buzzing in his ears.
"You'd better save some effort to collect the medicine. This wilderness attracts some wild wolves and beasts, then it's a bit of trouble!" Lu Chen replied coldly.
Tang Xuan sneered: "Cut, the wild wolf is still afraid, coward, I really thought you were very powerful, it turned out that it was just for nothing!"
Hearing the other party's sarcastic voice, Lu Chen seemed very calm, and did not take the other party's words to heart: "If you think so, I have nothing to say, but it has delayed the time and delayed your father's illness, so don't count it on my head when the time comes!"
When Tang Xuan heard this, her originally somewhat smug expression suddenly eased, and she quickly calmed down: "Okay, okay, okay, I'm joking with you, why are you so serious!"
Follow the creek into the hinterland of Niutou Mountain, because the steep canyons on both sides block the sun, the light inside gradually dims, and the water becomes turbulent.
And when they walked along the rapids to the inner belly of the gorge, at the upper end of the hillside, a team of men and horses had already been eyeing them in the shadows.
These people were all dressed in black and masked, each carrying a silver sword and carefully lurking in the hidden place of the mountain forest, a pair of cold eyes with murderous aura, staring at the two people on the downhill of the mountain.
"Second Senior Brother, they're here!" one of the men in black said in a low voice.
Zhou Yunhai hid in a big tree, using the lush branches and leaves around him to cut off his short and fat body, and he said in a low voice: "See, follow them slowly first, you will lead Mu Tao, Li Sen, Luo Tao, Yan Shan, and Mo Ziyun to quietly go around to the right and form an encirclement." ”
The man in black beside him nodded: "Well, I know how to do it!"
"Be careful, this guy is not simple!" Zhou Yunhai said with a solemn expression, since he learned that Lei Gang and Qian Weiwei were killed by this Lu Chen, he naturally felt a little jealous of this Lu Chen.
The man in black on the side sneered: "Second Senior Brother, don't worry, this person can't run." Among the acquired martial artists, the person who can be targeted by our 'Yuhua Thirteen Swords' is destined to be a dead person!"
"Don't be too careless, this person is not easy to deal with, be careful and sail the ship of ten thousand years. It would be best to be able to kill the brothers without bloodshed!" Zhou Yunhai said with a serious face.
The black-clothed man on the side saw the second senior brother's serious face, and immediately couldn't help but quip: "Second senior brother, you are too careful, we can even kill the peak martial artist of the day after tomorrow, and we are afraid of this kind of small role!"
Zhou Yunhai glared at him and scolded angrily: "Shut up, if the acquired peak you killed last time, if you hadn't been seriously injured by Senior Brother in advance, do you think you have that chance?" and dare to brag in front of me." As soon as these words came out, the man in black immediately smiled.
"What do you think we should do?" said the man in black with a bit of seriousness in his tone.
Zhou Yunhai hesitated for a moment and instructed: "You bring bows and arrows, come from a distance first, if it doesn't work." The other party will definitely be frightened and flee, you immediately launch a sword formation, trapped in him, I am waiting for an opportunity to find an opportunity to make a secret move! Senior Brother's plan must not be lost, you also know Senior Brother's temper, the mission failed, and we don't have good fruit to eat when we go back. ”
Recalling the consequences of the failure of the mission, the man in black's face changed, and he immediately nodded: "Okay, just do as you say!"
On the edge of the stream, after the two of them walked silently for a while, Tang Xuan really couldn't stand the atmosphere where no one spoke, and chatted with Lu Chen again: "Hey, Lu Chen, is there a blood wash flower in this Niutou Mountain, it's been almost an hour, and I haven't seen the shadow!"
Lu Chen pondered for a while, glanced at the surrounding gloomy mountains and forests, and responded in a low voice: "If my judgment is not wrong, there should be that blood-washing grass growing around here, your sister is also a master of medical Dao, and the information she provided should not be wrong!"
"Hmph, I'll give you another half an hour, you must find the blood-washing grass, otherwise, when you return to Wushuang City, I want you to walk around without eating!" Tang Xuan saw that he was not sure, and suddenly became angry.
Lu Chen shook his head helplessly, he couldn't stand this kind of woman who loves to have the temper of the eldest lady, and then scolded softly: "If you want to save your father first, just be quiet for me, in this world, not everyone will follow your temper!"
"You...!" Tang Xuan was so angry that she was suffocating, and she was about to refute, but she suddenly heard Lu Chen pointing ahead and saying, "Look, isn't that a blood washing flower?"
Tang Xuan's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and when she looked not far away, she saw a strange plant that was as red as blood firmly attached to a huge rock by the stream, and its palm-like leaves were swaying in the wind, which was extremely eye-catching on the edge of the stream.
"This is bloodweed!" Tang Xuan jumped up and ran over in a hurry, suddenly showing a look of surprise.
Lu Chen walked slowly, suddenly the roots of his ears moved, his eyes instantly showed a touch of fierceness, and the afterglow pretended to inadvertently skim the surrounding trees, vaguely sensing that something was wrong.
This feeling is like a hare grazing, suddenly being stared at by a beast hidden behind it, like a thorn in the back, which is extremely uncomfortable.
"There is a murderous aura!" Lu Chen's calm expression was a little more solemn.
Tang Xuan, who was not far away, didn't notice that something was wrong, and shouted at Lu Chen with a blank throat: "Hey, Lu Chen, how do you pick this thing, do you just tear it off, or just pick the leaves?"
Lu Chen pretended not to notice the enemy lurking around, walked towards Tang Xuan without hurry, and said lightly: "Just pick off the leaf on it, leave the root system on it, and after a while, it will grow again!"
"Oh, that's it, that's good, I'll do as you say!" Tang Xuan heard this, and immediately stretched out her white and tender little hand to carefully prepare to pick the leaves.
At this moment, a sound of breaking the air sounded in vain from the woods on the hillside.
"Be careful!" Lu Chen was already on guard, and hurriedly snorted, his figure turned into a phantom, and quickly swept to Tang Xuan's side, picking off the blood-washing flower with his hand, and didn't want to fly to the other side of the rapids.
"Can't let them escape!" Immediately after that, there was an angry shout from the mountain forest, and several sharp arrows followed, chasing Lu Chen and shooting the two of them at great speed.
Lu Chen's reaction was amazing, as if he had eyes behind him, and he used his strength to dodge twice in a row on the rocks exposed by the stream, and then deftly dodged the arrow.
But he had just reached the other side of the stream when a heavy sword with an incomparably swift force fell from the sky and slashed down at him.
A deafening sonic boom resounded through the mountains and forests.
Lu Chen's heart sank, the secret way was not good, sure enough, there was an ambush, holding Tang Xuan in his arms, it was inconvenient to draw his sword to resist.
At the critical moment, his left hand reached out like lightning, and he hurriedly raised his arm to block, and with a muffled sound, the fabric on his left arm burst instantly, revealing a strange hand covered with black scales, and he himself was chopped upside down by the opponent's huge force.
Brushing and brushing, suddenly a figure flickered, almost blinking, and twelve figures sprang out of the mountains and forests behind, surrounding Lu Chen and the two who fell on the edge of the stream.
Seeing this, Tang Xuan was shocked and said, "What's the matter, who are they, why are they chasing us?"
Lu Chen put her down and said with a cold expression: "I don't know who they are, but as for their purpose, I understand it very well!"
"What purpose!" Tang Xuan approached Lu Chen, her pretty face turned slightly pale and said, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she has been arrogant and domineering in Wushuang City, and she has never been injured, let alone shed any blood. When I really saw this kind of tense situation, I couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
