Chapter VI: Calculation
On the other side, Zhang Hai, who had returned from meeting Ma San, had a somewhat solemn face, while Gale and Jin Fangyuan were anxiously waiting for Zhang Hai, hoping that he could bring back some useful news.
Seeing Zhang Hai come back, before Gale could ask, Jin Fangyuan hurriedly asked, "How is the third brother, have you inquired clearly?" β
"Big brother and second brother, don't worry, as long as you give enough benefits, then the greedy ghost has nothing to say. Zhang Hai said with strong contempt in his eyes, he seemed to forget that they were also robbers who wanted to make money, and they were the real jackals.
"Third brother, you should say it quickly, you want to kill my brother in a hurry. Jin Fangyuan asked eagerly, looking at it urgent.
"There are more than 20 people in total, in addition to the eldest lady of the Duanmu family, there is also a person who is said to have come from her division to help her Miss Duanmu, the specific strength Ma San is not clear, it should not be low to become a disciple of Xueyin Palace, as for Miss Duanmu, we are not very clear, it is said that there is also a Jiedan intermediate realm, and there is also a person from the Xueyin Palace, the eldest brother and the second brother, it is not that I am angry with others to destroy my prestige, just with our strength, in the eyes of others, we are as small as ants, we are equivalent to going to death, big brother, we really want to do this business, you must know that this is a business with no chance of winning, We can't joke with our lives" Zhang Hai has a head and a brain, and he knows the situation in front of him very well, after all, mortals and immortal cultivators are not only the difference between heaven and earth, mortals can only look up. People who can't become cultivators can achieve the goal of strengthening themselves by cultivating internal strength, although masters who cultivate internal strength can also crush the void, but that is only an example among the trillions of people, but those who cultivate internal strength at the same stage are not the opponents of immortal cultivators, because cultivators can cultivate both martial arts and spells, cultivators practice true yuan power, and martial artists practice internal force, and the power of the two is very different, so the two are not the same concept and level at all. With the strength of Gale Wind and the others, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to threaten the cultivators of the Yudan Realm. If you want to say why Gale and the others knew that Duanmu Liuli was going to the Sunset Forest and took over with Ma San in advance, it was because the Duanmu family paid a high price to find the Golden Leaf Grass in Jeonnam County It can be said that everyone knows about it, and when the reward has been unsuccessful for many days, Miss Duanmu personally went to the Sunset Forest to find the Golden Leaf Grass The news doesn't know who leaked it, so it's not a secret, not to mention which city of the major forces in the world doesn't have its own eyeliner. As for Kim Yong-cheol, Gale and others colluding with each other, it is completely a matter of taking what they need.
"This is troublesome, what should I do, big brother, let's give up. "Although Jin Fangyuan is a big boss, he is not stupid. The two of them looked eagerly at Gale Wind, waiting for his statement. At first, I heard Gale say that there was a big deal, and I thought that it was some ordinary people who were dealing with it as usual, but I didn't expect Gale to hide the idea that they were going to fight the cultivators, which had to make him think that Gale was crazy, and Ma San was also contacted by Gale at the beginning, Zhang Hai and Jin Fangyuan didn't know that it was the eldest lady of the Duanmu family to deal with in this process, and if they knew that they were given 10,000 guts, they wouldn't dare, not to mention that Duanmu Liuli was the apprentice of the palace master of the Xueyin Palace, which was known to everyone in the world, even if it wasn't, with her identity as the daughter of the city lord of Nanjun City, it was not something they could provoke, after all, the initiative of a city could mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, not a behemoth that their gang of robbers of dozens of people can touch.
Looking at the two brothers' somewhat frightened eyes, Gale Feng said, "I know that I have hidden it from you, I am sorry for the two virtuous brothers, but the two virtuous brothers can rest assured, we just need to deal with those ordinary soldiers, and the remaining two will naturally not be our turn to worry." β
"Big brother, you mean. Zhang Hai said to an old man in dark gold clothes not far away, the old man was meditating motionlessly, they didn't know who this person was, and this person joined halfway, only to hear the gale say that he had found a helper, and asked him to obey the words of the mysterious old man. They don't know that this person is their employer.
Gale didn't speak, it was a tacit acquiescence to Zhang Hai's words. "Let's go and rest first, two virtuous brothers"
"Okay big brother, I hope big brother's decision is correct" The two said as they glanced at Gale and left.
And the gale went to the man in black, "Mr. Kimγγγγγ β
"I've heard everything you said, don't worry, I already know, you can go, don't bother me," Mr. Kim closed his eyes again.
Seeing Mr. Jin's attitude, Gale was a little angry, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes, but when he thought of the difference in strength between the two sides, and the huge reward. Without saying a word, turn your head and leave.
Even if it's just a little murderous, it's still captured by Mr. Kim. The "jumping clown" felt the murderous aura of the gale, and Mr. Kim's lips leaked a sneer. But under the cover of darkness, no one saw it. "Duanmu Liuli, Duanmu Liuli, you said that you came here as a little cultivator of the Jiedan Realm, you have never had a chance to start in the Snow Yin Palace before, but now you can finally let me seize the opportunity and complete the task." Thinking of the large number of high-grade pills and spirit stones obtained by completing the task, Mr. Jin's eyes were hot.
Xiao Zongtian sat on the tree, occasionally seeing starlight through the gaps between the leaves, which felt a bit like a dream. After all, such a strange way of crossing is really unexpected. When the sun's rays shine on the earth in the morning, the night is spent peacefully. Xiao Zongtian couldn't imagine that these bandits didn't do anything for such a night, and he couldn't guess what the hell they were doing, but it didn't matter what he did, and he would be happy if he didn't do it. But Duanmu Liuli and the others packed up early and started their journey. This place is close to the inner enclosure of the forest, and the tall and dense trees are no longer passable for horses, so Duanmu Liuli and others have to release all the horses. What's more, it's easier to hide your whereabouts when you travel light.
Walking can not only hide your whereabouts, but it is also easy for the villain to do things secretly.
Ma Sanyi deliberately fell at the back of the team, and every time he traveled a certain distance, he used three stones to pile up the finished glyph in a secret place, pointing to the direction in which Duanmu Liuli and the others were advancing. All this was done inadvertently, and no one noticed it, not even Xiao Zongtian.
After walking for about two hours, Xiao Zongtian thought that in this dense woods, overgrown with weeds, and Duanmu Liuli was very careful to eliminate traces, and the thieves could not find Duanmu Liuli and them. But seeing the follower who couldn't get rid of the back, Xiao Zongtian was a little depressed. It wasn't until I saw that they often searched in the grass that I found the clue. The corners of Xiao Zongtian's mouth raised a sinister smile, "Since you are so able to follow, I will let you follow." As he spoke, he pointed the stone in a completely wrong direction. Three piles of stones have been placed, and then they continue to adjust their direction and chase Duanmu Liuli and others. And destroy all the stones placed by Ma San.
However, it was said that after Gale Feng and the others walked to the third pile of stones that Xiao Zongtian had piled up, they had to stop after walking forward for half an hour, because they found that there were no stones to point out the direction. I flipped around and didn't find any markers, and I traveled in the wrong direction for half an hour, although Duanmu Ruri and the others were not fast, but the distance was still very far. There are no wayfinding signs in the dense jungle, it's like getting lost in the sea. It is very difficult to find out where someone is doing, especially if someone else is trying to hide their whereabouts.
"Second brother, how is the situation of the third brother, have you found anything. Gale was a little anxious, after all, he had worked hard all the way and finally lost his goal, and it was a fire to think about it. And what makes them even more anxious is that not achieving the goal means that the reward is gone, which is so irritating, no wonder Gale is in a hurry.
"Big brother, I've rummaged through a radius of five hundred meters, and I haven't found the stones placed by Ma San. Jin Fangyuan wiped the sweat on his face.
"Big brother, is Ma San exposed, otherwise there is no reason to suddenly stop making marks. Do we want to continue?" Zhang Hai analyzed.
"Damn, how can this be" Gale was furious and slapped his palm on a big tree, and the big tree was shaken by the gale wind. From this, it can be seen that Gale still has some skills, at least he is also the peak master of martial arts.
Now he only hopes that Mr. Kim has a way. Gale looked at Mr. Jin, who was sitting on the ground in dark gold clothes, after all, he was the one who was looking for Duanmu Liuli, and now he wanted to ask for his meaning.
Looking at the three of them looking at him, Mr. Jin spoke: "Waste." Hearing that Mr. Jin insulted the three brothers with waste, the three of them only dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, after all, the difference in strength was too far away, so if they didn't want to die, they could only swallow their anger. Although he didn't dare to scold, Gale Wind's tone was a little angry, after all, he was also a congenital master, of course, he was nothing in Jin Yongzhe's eyes, "Mr. Jin, you see that we still have to chase down." Since everyone is lost, trying to find a few people in this vast forest is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, I think the brothers are also tired, it is better to forget it, we don't want the reward, just when we suffer a loss, you see how it is. "Gale and the others were originally thieves, they were all cruel, they usually insulted others, and when they were insulted by others, they couldn't fight back, not to mention how aggrieved they were, so they had a plan to break up.
"Since you're all here, it's a pity to give up, plus three Void Breaking Pills, do you want to continue with you. Mr. Kim said and remained motionless again. He knew that Gale and the others would definitely be moved. After all, they are just mortal warriors, and they usually only hear about the precious pills, when they can have them so closely, so Mr. Jin is not afraid that they will not be moved. Although Mr. Jin can go by himself, but thinking of Duanmu Liuli's identity, if it is exposed, it will naturally be a lot of trouble, and it will be like this for him and his young master, if it is not good, it will be a disaster of death. So he needed a scapegoat. And Gale and the others are bandits themselves, which is very appropriate. After the matter is completed, he will kill Gale and the others, and even if others are suspicious of Gale and the others, they can interfere with others' sights and thoughts.
Hearing Mr. Jin's promise, the eyes of the three Gale Winds were filled with a strong sense of possessiveness. After all, immortal cultivators pay attention to qualifications and chances, and bandits like them may be like this for the rest of their lives if they don't have the opportunity to defy the sky, maybe they don't know if they explode in the wilderness one day, the thieves are all living a life of licking blood from the knife edge, and tomorrow may be their own sacrifice day, so now they hear that the reward given by Mr. Jin is a bottle of advanced pills and three void breaking pills, which may give them the opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step, how can they let it go. So Gale agreed very happily, the advanced pill is any level below the innate of the martial artist can break through to the next level as long as he takes one, and the Broken Void Pill can be a person from the peak of the day after tomorrow to enter the innate without hindrance, although a person can only take it once in a lifetime, but this is enough to make people crazy, even if it is not an elixir, but for martial artists, this is more effective than the elixir, after all, they cultivate internal force, not true yuan, so the elixir used by cultivators is not necessarily useful to them. You must know that Gale has been stuck at the peak of the day after tomorrow for a long time, and Zhang Hai and Jin Fangyuan are one or two levels lower than Gale Gale.
"Everything is arranged by Mr. Kim, so what should we do now. Gale flattered Mr. Jin with some flattery, and forgot all about Mr. Jin's insults to them just now, worthy of being a bandit and robber, and took his shamelessness to the extreme.
"Since it is forward in the original direction, let's continue in this direction. "Mr. Jin doesn't have any good methods, and he can't sense Duanmu Liuli's breath when he releases his divine sense. So I can only bite the bullet and go all the way to the end.
And Xiao Zongtian is a team that follows Duanmu Liuli, anyway, he has nothing to do. It was regarded as a tour, and Duanmu Liuli and his party in front didn't know that they were still followed by two teams of people, and they didn't know that they were betrayed by their subordinates, and they were still seriously looking for golden leaf grass.
"You all look around, come back and report to me when you see what I said to you just now, don't know it privately, remember to be careful not to be too far apart, this is not Nanjun City. Meet here before dark. Duanmu Ruri commanded to the people below. "Got it, Miss. As he spoke, more than two dozen people divided into a dozen teams and looked around. "Senior sister, let's look for it separately, it's really troublesome for you," Duanmu Liuli said to Zhuge Ningyan with some embarrassment. "Silly girl, why are we so polite between us, pay attention to safety. Zhuge Ningyan looked at Duanmu Liuli's tired eyes and said gently. "Well, senior sister, you too," the two said as they separated and looked in different directions.
But he said that Gale and the others searched all the way but didn't see any trace of Duanmu Liuli and the others, and they couldn't help but be a little impatient. "Mr. Jin, how long will we have to look for it aimlessly, I think they must have gone far, Mr. Jin, you are not supernatural, do you have any special methods. "Don't blame Gale and others for being impatient, the Sunset Forest is full of fierce monsters, I don't know when they will come out, there are already several subordinates who have become the food of monsters, but there is no result, which makes him angry and a little scared at the same time, because even he is not the opponent of these monsters, usually they bully and bully the common people, and they may face the attacks of powerful monsters when they come to this forest, which is simply killing him, if it weren't for the good remuneration and the master of Mr. Jin, they would not have entered so deeplyγ "I don't have any good methods, you must know that you can't use too much power here at will, because it is easy to attract the attention of other people or demon beasts, let's rest here for a night. "Kim Yong-chul is also very angry, he has a strong strength but can't use it, because there is a lot of danger here, he doesn't want to attract the attention of others, if others notice his line, then it will be difficult to do it next.
And Duanmu Liuli and others, who have been looking for a day, have also found nothing at the cost of losing a few people, although they don't report much hope, but there are constantly casualties and no gains, which makes Duanmu Liuli, who usually rarely suffers, a little haggard. There were only a dozen or so people left in the team of more than 20 people when they first arrived, and although these people were all soldiers who were accustomed to life and death, they were inevitably a little afraid of death without the power to fight back and not be aware of it.
And to Xiao Zongtian's surprise, this Ma San, who eats inside and out, is not dead, and I have to say that good people don't live long and the scourge will last for thousands of years. When the sun set, the day was spent in this fruitless process, Duanmu Ruri sat on a branch and looked at the clouds in the sky in a daze. Looking at the beautiful figure not far away, especially the frowning brows, Xiao Zongtian had to sigh at the miracle of the creator, who could actually create such a beautiful and perfect woman.
