Li Ji returned to the house and told Xia Bai and Li Longyan about the matter, and wanted to hear their thoughts.

Li Longyan said: "Daddy, you better not go! First, it's very dangerous; second, I always feel that it might be a good thing for those Danyang grass to let the people in the Demon Sect go, so that they can suck less blood and harm people; aren't those children in our village dying miserably?"

Li Ji was full of relief, patted his son on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I can't see that you are born with a bodhisattva compassion, and it is not in vain that we teach you on weekdays." Good son, you have a point, not bad!"

He looked at Xia Bai and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xia Bai shook his head and said, "I mean, I want you to go." ”

Li Ji was stunned, quite surprised, and said, "You want me to go?"

Xia Bai frowned slightly and said, "Yes." But I want you to go, not to grab those elixirs, but ...... Take care of my daddy. He is old, although his martial arts have not retreated, but his energy is not as good as when he was young, and the people in the Demon Sect are extremely vicious, insidious and vicious, and when there are many people fighting, if they cast a cold arrow, I am worried that his old man will be negligent in attacking.

"Also, the older he gets now, the more vindictive he becomes, the last time he fought with Mu Shenlong, I was afraid that he would not be convinced, so I went to him to invite him to fight, it was dangerous.

"Although I have the four masters of my Xia family on my side, I know that the martial arts of those masters are still worse than you and Daddy. These days, you and your father have studied the martial arts of the Demon Sect, and I am more relieved to have you by his side to protect me.

"I think after you go, you don't care about anything else, just protect your father and your own life. If the situation is not right, evacuate immediately, what elixir is not elixir, it doesn't matter if you don't have your own life!"

Li Ji thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, what you said makes sense, then I'll go and protect his old man." Elixir or something, we don't bother, we have our own Flying Snow Gang to grab it, I just need to protect Daddy. ”

Xia Bai got up and went to the inner room, took out a sword, and said: "This red fire sword is extremely sharp, you can protect yourself more fully if you carry it on your body." After a pause, he said: "The Feixue Gang has good protective soft armor, and I will go to Gang Master Sun later and ask for two sets for you and Daddy." ”

Li Ji took the sword and said with a smile: "It's a weapon again, it's a treasure armor, and I must ride a horse when I go, haven't I become a general who goes into battle to kill the enemy?"

Xia Bai couldn't laugh, looked at Li Ji, and said, "Big brother, you have to promise me, no matter what the situation, as long as I want you and your father to return safely, nothing else!"

Li Ji stroked her shoulder and smiled: "Don't worry, if I can't beat it, I will still run! You know, I can run fast!"

Xia Bai sneered, stared at her husband, and said, "Yes, if you can't beat it, you can run hard and come home." ”

Li Longyan looked at his father, was stunned for a while, and said: "Daddy, even if you win the fight, you don't have to fight all the time, if you can come back soon, come back soon." ”

Xia Bai looked at his son, his nose was sore, and tears almost fell. Li Ji squatted down and hugged his son, and said with a smile: "Of course, of course I have to come back soon, I still have a lot of kung fu to teach you, how can I disregard my life and always fight with people outside!"

Two days later, in the evening, Gang Leader Sun, Xia Shiyu, Li Ji and other cadres came to Wangyun Valley.

According to an old pharmacist from the Flying Snow Gang Medicine Refining Hall, the Danyang Grass will mature in large numbers tonight. The thirty disciples in charge of collecting medicine in the Alchemy Hall were ready, holding picking utensils and carrying baskets, guarding the ground.

In the past seven or eight days, the people in the Demon Sect have not been harassed, and the spies of the Flying Snow Gang have been investigating around Wangyun Valley, and they have not found any trace of the people in the Demon Sect.

I don't know if they gave up, but Gang Leader Sun and the heroes from all walks of life still didn't dare to be careless at all, and they were still heavily guarded.

The place where Danyang grass grows is a small col in Wangyun Valley, with a radius of only six or seven miles, and only one path leads to the outside of the mountain. The col is surrounded by cliffs and cliffs, and the cold moonlight shines on it, revealing a large area of bare rock peaks, majestic and strange, simple and fierce.

The tents and wooden huts set up in the camp had been removed, and more than 300 members of the Flying Snow Gang and other high rollers were guarding the valley with swords in hand, all with serious expressions, and a little excitement and anticipation.

As long as you spend tonight safely, everything will be fine, and more than 20 days of fear will finally come to an end.

As the saying goes, "Man dies for money, and birds die for food." "Although Danyang Grass is a great elixir, during this period of time, the battle of swords and swords in Wangyun Valley, and the death of dozens of lives, have also made them tremble. They only wanted to get the elixir as soon as possible and get out of this dangerous place as soon as possible.

When a person is alive, the elixir is valuable, and when a person dies, there is nothing.

More than 100 blazing torches shine in Wangyun Valley, and hundreds of anxious hearts are waiting for the elixir that comes once in 80 years.

Gang Leader Sun and his entourage stood on a small hill and looked at the valley in front of them. The autumn wind hunts and blows their robes.

Li Ji and Xia Shiyu stood on either side of Sun Changfeng. Behind Xia Shiyu, there were four people standing, two old men and two middle-aged people, all of whom had a deep breath and a body like a mountain.

These are the four masters of Jiangnan Xia Mansion, and their martial arts have reached the first-class realm.

*

Sun Changfeng's eyes swept over the surrounding mountains and sighed: "More than fifty lives, just for tonight, if there are good things in the world, do you have to use a certain number of lives to get them?"

No one answered. The strong autumn wind whistled through the mountains and fields, making a sound like a whimper.

Although hundreds of people had gathered in the valley, it was unusually quiet at the moment, and even the more than 400 horses tied not far away were silent and silent.

The old pharmacist sat on the ground, holding his breath and concentrating, like a monk in meditation.

After a long time, there was a soft snapping sound in the medicine field, followed by another sound.

Although the voice was not loud, the old pharmacist was shocked, suddenly opened his eyes, and shouted, "Burst fruit!"

As soon as the words fell, I heard the crackling sound in the ground one after another, at first there was a break, after a while, the sound gradually intensified, and later, the whole ground crackled, like fried beans. It was the sound of the fruit of Danyang grass popping.

With a wave of his hand, the thirty medicine picking disciples stood up together, quickly entered the medicine field, and began to pick.

The guards formed a semi-circle around the medicine field, holding blades in their hands, and they were on guard against the invasion of the Demon Cultists.

They were even more nervous. The dark cliffs around them had countless shadows that the moon could not illuminate, and they felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at them in those shadows, and the sound of the wind passing through the forest and the rustling of leaves could make them break out in a cold sweat.

Their hands holding swords and swords were already drenched with sweat, and they prayed in their hearts that the disciples who were collecting the medicine would move neatly and finish collecting the medicine quickly.

The disciples of the medicine collection were skillful in their movements, and they were also handy in the use of tools, but they did not dare to be too quick and savagely harvest the elixir. These elixirs are rare and precious, and the rhizomes must be well protected, neither daring to pull or trample on them, and every time they pick the fruit, they are careful. As a result, the process is not much faster.

Many of the heroes scolded in their hearts, why didn't the Flying Snow Gang send more people to collect medicine, only thirty people, and it was in the dark night, when would they collect?

They didn't know that picking elixir was extraordinary, and they had to be skilled masters. These thirty people are the disciples carefully selected by the Feixue Gang Medicine Refining Hall, not only are they skilled in their skills and calm in their hearts, but they also know how to cherish the elixir mother, and they will not mess around.

In fact, the disciples were also very anxious, and they also looked forward to leaving soon after picking earlier, but despite this, they were still methodical when picking, gently putting the fruits they picked into the back basket; looking at their faces in the moonlight, they were all focused and calm.

Sun Changfeng, Xia Shiyu, and Li Ji stood on the high post, looked around the four fields, and saw all the surrounding situations in their eyes.

After about half an hour, an altar owner flew to report: "Tell the helper, the Danyang fruit in the field has been picked, and there are still more than ten plants that have not yet burst the fruit, according to the medicine master, those ten plants will take about two or three days to mature, so I will pick so many today." According to a rough estimate, there are about 3,600 fruits. ”

Sun Changfeng let out a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Okay, everyone, it's hard work." According to the original plan, he protected the disciples who collected medicine and quickly returned to help. ”
