Chapter 384: Alone in the Forest

Before the wind season passed, tens of thousands of wind wolves retreated inexplicably, and the internal contradictions of human beings began to erupt.

Wu family manor, the lobby of the State Guest House.

"Why have all the wind wolves disappeared?" Although the expression of the questioner was normal, the tone of his voice revealed the dissatisfaction in his heart.

During the windy season, it is dangerous to hunt alone in the jungle. The powerful rangers rushed to the fiefdoms of various families to help them resist the wind disaster. The rangers who came to Wuhou Mountain to help resist the wind disaster were partly because of their friendship with the Wu family, and more because of the interests of fame and hunting wind wolves.

This general had just arrived at Wuhou Mountain, but he learned that the wolves had disappeared cleanly, and his plan to make a name for himself and profit had failed, and he was naturally unhappy.

Wu Rong, the head of the Wu family, explained: "General Miao and Zhinuxia, several top generals, led the team to hunt down the mutant wind wolf, which greatly weakened the backbone of the wolf pack. According to past experience, the wolves are still led by the Wind Wolf King, and they will not disperse until the wind season has passed. But this time, the Wind Wolf King was a little strange, and he actually took the initiative to appear to attack the rangers, and after killing more than ten rangers, he led the wolves to retreat into the depths of the jungle!"

The family enjoys the glory of their ancestors, but also has the responsibility of protecting the holy volcano. The family that does not have the strength to protect the fiefdom holy flame can only turn to the rangers around the city for help, and they naturally lack the confidence to ask for help.

The strength of the Wu family is weak, and the annual wind season is a test of life and death. In previous years, they relied on sealing the crater to avoid wind damage. Now the sacred flame of Wuhou Mountain is very weak, and it will be extinguished if it is blocked any longer. The Wu family could only take out the innate fire and lure the top tour generals to help resist the wind disaster.

The wolves retreated for no reason, which was an unexpected surprise for the Wu family, but it was bad news for the rangers who came to help.

"Master of the Wu family, everyone got your letter for help, so we crossed the dark jungle and came to Wuhou Mountain, but now we don't see a single ghostly beast, we waste a lot of time and crystal coins but run in vain, how should the Wu family arrange?"

The meaning of the words is not to ask the Wu family how to arrange it, but to ask the Wu family to give an explanation.

Wu Rong didn't want to be pinched, so he stood up and thanked the rangers, and then said, "Although the wolves retreat, they may not come back. The season is still very long, so why don't you wait a few days and see how it goes?"

"The wind season has indeed just begun, are you sure that the wind wolf will return?" asked one of the first generals to come to Wuhou Mountain.

Wu Rong frowned, and he couldn't answer without a question and answer.

"If we go to the fiefdoms of other families, the danger of crossing the dark jungle is greatly increased, and it will take time to prepare, and we may not be able to reach it safely in the end. Won't the Wu family give us an explanation?"

When Wu Rong was in a dilemma, Zhu Tianpeng, Miao Yidao, Zhe Xiaomei and several other top tour generals happened to return to the Wu family manor.

As soon as Miao Yidao entered the hall, he said: "You are here to help the Wu family fight against the wind disaster, the wind wolf retreats, this matter is not within the Wu family's expectations, and the Wu family is not to blame, since we are rangers, we are already risking our lives to hunt phantom beasts, don't expect anything that is not earned!"

Miao Yidao's reputation is good, his words also have weight, and he is right, so the rangers in the hall will not be able to embarrass the Wu family anymore.

Wu Rong was grateful to Miao Yidao in his heart, and didn't want Miao Yidao to fight the complaints of the downstream heroes for the Wu family, so he announced: "You have come from afar to help, and the Wu family is very grateful. There is a little bit of earth-centered true liquid as a reward, I hope you don't dislike it!"

Finally calmed down the dissatisfaction of the rangers, and Wu Rong invited Miao Yidao and others into the back hall to discuss.

Originally, Zhu Tianpeng was also invited, but he refused. He found the little fat man Yuan Qing and the fox girl Yingqiu, and walked to the side to discuss secretly.

Hearing the news of Ji Qing's death, Wu Rong's face was also a little pale.

"The sister-in-law of the Ji family died in the jungle?

Hu Xuan slapped on the coffee table and said in a rough voice: "It was said that the Wind Wolf King killed Ji Qing, and there was not even a corpse, and the dozen or so Ji family members did not leave anything, then Zhu Jun is very suspicious!"

Seeing that everyone was solemn, Wu Rong didn't report his luck and sighed: "When I learned that my sister-in-law was dead, I don't know how the Sword Peerless King would be angry!"

"Therefore, Zhu Jun must be arrested and interrogated clearly. Otherwise, when the Sword Absolute King comes to the door, you and I will have no good fruit to eat!" Hu Xuan said grimly.

Zhi Xiaomei also knew that the situation was serious, but she still couldn't help but want to explain it to Zhu Tianpeng.

"Without evidence, just guess, how can we arrest people casually? The Sword Peerless King came to the door, just tell the truth, in order to get rid of suspicion, do you first find a scapegoat? The Ji family will definitely not believe us, or will they conduct a detailed investigation, so why bother?"

Miao Yidao thought more deeply: "The incident has happened, and we happen to be nearby, in the eyes of the Ji family, we are also suspicious." The best way is to tell the news to the Ji family and wait for the Ji family to send someone to deal with it. We're not going to do anything!"

The matter of arraignment to the Ji family was naturally handed over to the Wu family.

Several top tour generals returned to the hall from the back hall, and happened to see Zhu Tianpeng, Little Fat Man and Yingqiu walking towards the gate.

"Zhu Jun, you can't leave!"

Hearing the shouting, Lao Zhu turned around and saw Hu Xuan's big cake face.

"What, you're going to force me to stay?"

Hu Xuan strode up to Zhu Tianpeng and said angrily: "Things haven't been clarified yet, you can't leave the Wu family manor!"

"If I want to leave, what can you do?" Lao Zhu was very angry and asked coldly.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Miao Yidao stepped forward and said, "Zhu Jun, whether you leave or stay, Zhu Yuanqing and Qiu Ying can't be with you, don't bother them." ”

Lao Zhu was stunned and woke up. Although he does not have an exact understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Xia King, he can also see the deterrent power of the Xia King through the attitudes of these top generals. There should be more than just a level difference between the chivalrous king and the ranger.

At this time, Zhe Xiaomei's voice also reached Zhu Tianpeng's ears.

"The chivalrous king is not afraid of group battles, and no matter how many generals there are, it is useless. Regardless of whether Ji Qing is killed by you or not, you'd better hide and not be found by the Ji family. Or, you can find a chivalrous king to intercede for you. ”

If you really want to play with your life, Lao Zhu relies on the Ruyi armor and is not afraid of any top general. But if the Xia King had one-tenth of Wu Gang's combat power, it would be difficult for Lao Zhu to fight head-on, and the Ruyi armor would not be able to resist gravity strikes.

The thoughts in Zhu Tianpeng's mind kept churning, and they turned around on everyone's faces again.

"Hahaha, don't you just want to find Lao Zhu to block the Ji family's questioning?"

Hu Xuan said coldly: "You are not guilty, it is naturally up to the Sword Peerless King to decide!"

Lao Zhu snorted coldly, squinted at Hu Xuan, and said, "I have other important things to do, I have to leave, you want to stop me?"

"You can't leave until the Ji family arrives!"

After speaking, Hu Xuan showed a fiery red scimitar and blocked the door of the State Guest House.

The seven-star spear appeared in Zhu Tianpeng's hand at the same time, and he didn't hesitate, and rushed up to Hu Xuan at the door.

"Choke!"

The fiery red scimitar split the three-edged spear head, and then slashed at Zhu Tianpeng's right arm.

Lao Zhu ignored the scimitar that attacked him, and stabbed the seven-star spear into Hu Xuan's chest again.

With a "choking" sound, the scimitar swirled and stopped the seven-star spear again.

Hu Xuan, whose combat skills were obviously stronger than Zhu Tianpeng, failed to cause damage to the other party, but was forced to retreat one after another by the crazy stabbing seven-star spear.

Everyone in the hall could see that this "Zhu Jun" was not defensive at all, and was bent on rushing out of the gate, if it weren't for Hu Xuan, who was also a top general with rich combat experience, he was afraid that he would be injured by a spear, and in the end it would only be a lose-lose situation.

Hu Xuan didn't want to exchange his life with Zhu Tianpeng, in addition to being annoyed, he also had a fear of this "Zhu Jun", seeing that he was about to be forced out of the hall, he got out of the door and flashed to the side.

Lao Zhu occupied the door, and when he saw the little fat man and Yingqiu coming closely, he suddenly shot and stabbed the little fat man.

"Look clearly, I'm Yuan Qing!"

The little fat man thought that Zhu Tianpeng was dazzled, and when he was in a hurry to dodge, he hurriedly declared.

After Lao Zhu forced the little fat man back, the seven-star spear swept towards Yingqiu again, swept the stunned fox girl aside, and said proudly: "No matter who it is, don't want to keep me Lao Zhu, if someone dares to follow me, then don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"

The little fat man and Yingqiu are both smart and enlightened demon cultivators, and they don't need to be reminded by Zhu Tianpeng, and they instantly understand what the other party means. Zhu Tianpeng wanted to draw a clear line with the little fat man and Yingqiu to avoid implicating them.

"Zhu Jun, are you crazy, why did you sneak attack us?" the little fat man shouted.

The seven-star gun in Zhu Tianpeng's hand pointed at the little fat man, and sneered: "Little fat man, don't think that you can get close to Lao Zhu with one surname, I have no blood relationship with you." If it weren't for ...... Hmph!"

As he spoke, the divine consciousness transmission of the little fat man and Yingqiu arrived at the same time.

"Although you are not a wolf cultivator, you and I have shared hardships, and it is better to be a brother than a brother. What about the chivalrous king? You and I join forces, can you still resist him?"

"Since we have entered this strange world together, we naturally have to unite, don't want to leave me!"

Lao Zhu smiled bitterly in his heart, the little fat man and Yingqiu had never fought against martial arts cultivators, and their understanding of the chivalrous king was seriously insufficient, so they wanted to attack and retreat with him!

"The Xia King has the true domain of martial arts, and he is not afraid of group attacks, and it is useless to have many people. On the other hand, even if I am not the opponent of the Sword Peerless King, there is no problem in escaping, and if I take you two with me, I will have too many scruples!"

After explaining to the little fat man and Yingqiu respectively with his divine sense, Lao Zhu was afraid that they would not listen to the persuasion, so his eyes showed a fierce look, and he said sharply: "I, Lao Zhu, want to leave, if anyone dares to stop it, then it will be a matter of life and death, if he dares to follow him secretly, Lao Zhu will definitely meet him with a sword when he wants to plot against me!"

Then, he looked at everyone in the hall very arrogantly, and then put away his gun and retreated, and quickly left the Wu family manor.

——

Nine Ring City, Quartet Ranger Hall.

At the same time that Zhu Tianpeng left the Wu family manor, another "Zhu Tianpeng" also walked out of the secret room of the retreat.

Jiang Fatzi saw "Zhu Tianpeng" appear in the hall, and asked strangely: "Little friend Tianpeng, why did you leave the secret room?"

"I was in the secret room just now, and I was worried that something had happened to my brother, and I wanted to go to him. ”

Jiang Fatzi frowned and said, "Your brother Zhu Yuanqing has gone to Wuhou Mountain with Miao Yidao to defend the Wu family from the wind disaster." It's the season of the storm, and the jungle is very dangerous, don't you see a lot of people in the hall? Because except for the ranger who died in his fiefdom, the rest of the people either go back to their own spar room, or stay in the ranger hall, and no one goes to the jungle to hunt. At this time, you went to Wu Houshan to find your brother, and it was too dangerous to cross the jungle alone. Zhu Yuanqing has Miao with a knife, it will be fine, hurry up and go back to retreat!"

There were indeed a lot of people in the Sifang Pavilion, and the hall was almost full. Seeing "Zhu Tianpeng", many people are pointing at it.

"Zhu Tianpeng" glanced at the hall and smiled bitterly at Jiang Fatzi: "Shopkeeper, you know why I am in retreat. With so many rangers sitting in this hall, can I still meditate in the secret room next to it?"

When several rangers in the hall looked at Zhu Tianpeng, they all showed fierce eyes. Mad Bull is an old general, and there are indeed a lot of friends with him, knowing that Zhu Tianpeng is the murderer of Mad Cow, it is inevitable that he will be upset.

If the rangers are upset, most of them will have a seizure, and once the matter is big, even Jiang Fat may not be able to suppress it, after all, it is difficult to make a fuss.

Jiang Fatzi sighed: "Since you are leaving, then don't stay." If you can't cross the jungle, just go around the outskirts of the city, enter the city through another city gate, as long as you don't make a big deal, you should be able to survive the wind season safely, and when the water season comes, everyone will have no time to trouble you!"

"Zhu Tianpeng" nodded, turned around and left the Sifang Pavilion, and walked towards the south gate.

As soon as he left, four rangers also got up from their seats and followed them towards the gate of the Sifang Pavilion.

Jiang Fatzi was secretly worried about Zhu Tianpeng, so he shouted at the four of us, "You don't sit anymore?

The hall burst into laughter.

Xia, the rest of the people either go back to their own spar room, or stay in the Ranger Pavilion, and no one goes to the jungle to hunt. At this time, you went to Wu Houshan to find your brother, and it was too dangerous to cross the jungle alone. Zhu Yuanqing has Miao with a knife, it will be fine, hurry up and go back to retreat!"

There were indeed a lot of people in the Sifang Pavilion, and the hall was almost full. Seeing "Zhu Tianpeng", many people are pointing at it.

"Zhu Tianpeng" glanced at the hall and smiled bitterly at Jiang Fatzi: "Shopkeeper, you know why I am in retreat. With so many rangers sitting in this hall, can I still meditate in the secret room next to it?"

"Zhu Tianpeng" nodded, turned around and left the Sifang Pavilion, and walked towards the south gate.
