Chapter 70: The Blood Shadow Jungle (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation Votes)
Night came quietly, and after dinner, several people went back to their rooms and closed the door
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day, at dawn, the five of them headed towards the Blood Shadow Jungle in the southwest of Beilan City with the Zhang family's medicine collection team and guards.
......
In the silence of the jungle, everyone walked cautiously, with a pair of vigilant eyes, constantly looking at the dark corners around them, those who used weapons clutched the weapons in their hands, and those who did not use weapons secretly operated their true qi, always ready to deal with sudden dangers.
"Ahh
Although everyone was already very cautious, death was often inevitable in the dangerous blood shadow jungle, and a member of the Zhang family's escort team fell down with a red and purple face, foaming at the mouth, and lost his life.
Zhang Xueyu frowned and hurriedly walked over.
After careful investigation, it was found that there was a small bright yellow spider crawling on the inside of the neck of the dead member of the Zhang family's guards, and it should have hung upside down on a branch when everyone came, and as soon as people approached, it fell silently on the other party's neck, poisoning it.
"Poison Emperor Spider!" Seeing this, Zhang Xueyu's face turned pale instantly, although the Poison Emperor Spider was only a fierce beast barely passing the first level according to its grade, but the toxins in its body were extremely poisonous, and it could instantly poison a strong person in the Qi Transformation Realm, known as the reaper of living beings in the Blood Shadow Jungle, and those who were unlucky and poisoned were often unable to return to the sky.
Feng Qingyang couldn't help but gasp, he was the first time to enter the dangerous place infested by fierce beasts, he had no experience, a big reason for taking this character this time was experience, but beyond his imagination, a first-class fierce beast was so terrifying, if it was him who was bitten just now, I am afraid that now it is like the corpse in front of him, and the death is miserable.
"Miss, Shi Dong is no longer saved, let's move on. The deputy captain of the medicine collection team, who was no longer young, looked at Shi Dong, who died tragically in front of him, and sighed slightly, both regretful and as if he was used to it.
Zhang Xueyu nodded, it was not the first time she had seen such a scene, she sorted out her mood, stood up and said: "Everyone, I still want to mention again, the Blood Shadow Jungle is very dangerous, it is inevitable that something will happen, everyone must be careful, but the deceased will not be sacrificed in vain, our family will compensate your family for 100,000 taels of silver, and those who go back alive will still have a reward of 10,000 silver, even if I am unlucky and die, what I said will not be invalidated!"
"Thank you, Miss, and we're much more relieved to have your words. ”
"Yes, as a martial artist, it is inevitable that misfortune will happen when you go out, and what you are most worried about is that you are afraid that your family will lose your support. ”
There are six Qi Transformation Realm warriors in the Zhang family's own escort team, and the rest are all martial artists in the Qi Condensation Realm or even lower realms, with their strength, even if they go hunting fierce beasts for twelve hours a day without rest or doing bounty tasks in the Bounty Palace, it will take at least a year to exchange for 100,000 taels of silver, but this is impossible, hunting fierce beasts in the jungle day and night, doing bounty tasks, the possibility of no accident is too low. If you are unlucky, you will encounter a high-level fierce beast, and you won't be able to run away at all.
Zhang Xueyu is willing to give 100,000 silver for the settling-in fee, which is equivalent to cutting off their worries and making them no longer worry about the future life of their families;
"This woman has a bit of a way of soothing people. Zhang Xueyu's actions made Feng Qingyang nod secretly.
......
The deceased is gone, and even if there is no more danger, the rest of the people still have to continue on their way.
As it gradually deepened, everyone seemed to have come to another world, and the lively city had been completely isolated by the towering giant trees behind them.
The Blood Shadow Jungle lived up to its name, and after only walking a dozen miles inside, the group encountered four attacks from fierce beasts.
Or the second-level demon beast troll rat hidden underground, or the nine-plate silver snake coiled on the trunk of a tree, or the third-level group beast fierce demon wolf in the jungle.
Even an injured top-level third-level fierce beast, Storm Rock Bear.
The last two times were okay, and everyone reacted quickly and dodged. But the first and second beast raids left the entire team without four members of the Zhang family.
In terms of strength, the first two are far inferior to the latter two, but in terms of viciousness and sneak attacks, the first two are as good as each other.
Among the guards of the Zhang family, a martial artist who was at the peak of condensation but did not react in time, was dragged into the ground by the troll rat without any defense, and was torn into pieces, screaming endlessly in the middle of the way, causing chills! With the power of the sect's disciples, the troll rats were scared away, but they had already brought a psychological shadow to everyone's hearts.
It was even more terrifying when it encountered the second beast attack, and the three nine-plate silver snakes hid among the trunks of the trees, coming and going without a trace, and the speed was extremely fast, poisoning the three of them in the blink of an eye.
If it weren't for Feng Qingyang and the others who reacted in time and quickly killed the three-headed silver snake, I'm afraid there would still be sacrifices.
At this moment, Zhang Xueyu's face is already very pale, not only because of the tragic death of several people, but also because of the large amount of money consumed by the death of these people, it is not that she is stingy, but the employment of five sect disciples has brought a lot of burden to the Zhang family, and now five more people have died, and the compensation has increased again, even if the rest of the people do not die, the Zhang family will draw 500,000 taels of gold, this is not silver, a full 500,000 taels, enough to make the Zhang family hurt their muscles and bones.
Biting her thin lips, saying the words and splashing the water, Zhang Xueyu can only look forward to a good harvest in the Blood Shadow Jungle next.
After walking for more than ten miles, Feng Qingyang suddenly felt that the aura of heaven and earth around him was thick, and the mist was hazy in the distance.
Zhang Xueyu obviously also felt the change in aura, and said excitedly in her words: "The place where the medicine is collected is finally coming, everyone will work harder." ”
"Good!"
The people of the Zhang family were relieved after hearing this, along the way, every nerve of theirs was compressed tightly, and they didn't dare to relax at all, after all, the dead people were the best example, they didn't want to be the snack of the beast, but under the high concentration for a long time, their spirits were now a little tired, and they just wanted to go home and rest after quickly collecting the medicine.
After a while, everyone came to a huge basin shrouded in mist and took a look, the entire basin was about ten miles in size, and it was full of all kinds of herbs, seven-star flowers, nine-leaf clovers, and yang fruits...... There is everything, the aura in the basin is rich, and these mist is formed by the accumulation of aura, just like heaven and earth.
