Chapter 10: Helping Hands
The forest is full of ancient trees, and there is a faint musty smell in the middle of it, and the sunlight shines through the gaps in the dense branches and leaves on the ground covered with dead leaves, adding a touch of warmth to this cold place.
At this moment, a team of more than ten people quickly rushed towards the depths of the forest, most of the people in the team were about fifteen years old, dressed very ordinary, led by a tall white-haired old man, the old man's face was expressionless like a dead wood fold, and behind him were two emaciated teenagers, the appearance of the two was in stark contrast, one of them had clear eyebrows, the bridge of the nose was straight, and the face was delicate, while the other person looked very ordinary, and there was nothing outstanding in appearance, but this person's eyes were as deep as the starry sky, as if revealing a suction force to pull people into the depths of darknessγ
The team was followed by two middle-aged men in beast robes, looking at the aura exuded by the two of them was not weaker than that of the Seven Realms of Martial Arts, so that two people could react as quickly as possible in the event of an emergency, and the rest of the teenagers followed closely but the beads of sweat on their faces slowly flowed.
"Old Song, how long will it take to get out of this woodland?" At this moment, Chai Kui, who was flying, couldn't help asking, but his footsteps did not stop at all, he had never left this place since he was a child, and he was also very curious about the outside world.
"It's about a day, what's the matter? I can't wait to see the outside world? Hehe, let's rest here for a while now and then continue on our way." β
Hearing Chai Kui's words, Song Lao said with a smile, and at the same time he also felt the tiredness of everyone, although these teenagers practiced martial arts in the village every day, they were really tired after a day of non-stop driving, but this was also intentional, in order to exercise everyone's staying power for the use of true qi.
As soon as Song Lao's words came out, everyone behind him immediately stopped with relief, and they didn't care about the others, even Chai Kui looked a little tired after a day's journey, and then they each took out the food they had prepared and began to eat.
Looking at the tired people, Meng Xiaofan was surprised to feel that he didn't feel any fatigue after a day's journey, but just consumed some true qi, for this discovery Meng Xiaofan himself was a little confused, is it really because his physique has changed due to the liquid in the pool under the cliff of Panlong Mountain?
However, since he couldn't figure it out and there was no harm to himself, Meng Xiaofan also left it behind, and now he was most concerned about the spiritual root test in a few days, and he didn't know if he had immortal fate.
"What is Xiao Fan thinking, sit down and eat something!" Seeing Meng Xiaofan standing there in a daze, Song Tao called out to him, and then slowly took out a fist-sized steamed bun and handed it over.
"Uh, no, nothing, hehe. β
Meng Xiaofan, who came back to his senses, took the steamed bun and said with a dry smile, then took the water bag from his waist and drank it big, and then nibbled on the steamed bun, for the people who came out of their small village, it is already a good treatment to have a steamed bun to eat, and the children who grew up in this environment are not very particular about eating, and it is enough to fill their stomachs.
Thundered!
At the same time, an earth-shattering loud bang exploded not far away, and immediately rows of towering ancient trees collapsed one after another, and three strong true qi rushed to the sky, this force was very strong, and at the same time, shouts came into the ears of Meng Xiaofan and others who were enjoying food.
"What's going on?"
Hearing the constant roar, Meng Xiaofan and the others suddenly got up, and looked at the direction of the continuous collision of the three aunts' true qi, this force even Meng Xiaofan felt a lot of pressure.
"If my guess is correct, it must be the people of Aoba Castle in front of me who have been attacked by bandits. Song Lao's cloudy eyes suddenly flashed a gleam, if you want to reach Qingye City, you must pass through this forest, and this is also the place where bandits are entrenched, if you don't have enough strength, you will inevitably become a bandit and fall to the soul, this is also an obvious thing.
"You continue to rest here, and I'll go and see. Song Tao continued.
"Old Song, shall I go with you?" At this moment, Meng Xiaofan suddenly said.
Seeing this, Song Lao glanced at Meng Xiaofan and then nodded, and then the two of them jumped forward and rushed forward, relying on the speed of the two of them, they arrived at the place where the explosion sound was heard in a short time.
In sight, more than a dozen men and women collapsed on the ground, among them there was a man and a woman guarding the front, the girl was dressed in blue, with a sweet appearance, and the most surprising thing was the long sword in his hand that glowed with rich purple light.
Another handsome man fought fiercely with a thin man with a similar strength with a feminine appearance with his fists alone, and every time the two fists collided with the rolling true qi, the people around him were affected one after another, and they had to stay away from the battle circle between the two.
What shocked Meng Xiaofan the most was a graceful lady in a red robe who fought against two bandit leaders of the Martial Arts Ninefold Sect by herself, only to see the red light flashing all over her body, the robe hunting sounded, and the green white jade fingers conjured up a series of sharp claws between the red light entanglements, and the sharp qi on the claws was agitated, and a huge breaking aura came out.
The noble lady Ning Hong's arms shook, and her claws slammed out, and at the same time, the red qi around her body shook, and two blood claws several meters wide rushed towards the two bandits with the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops, although he was the first to detect the poison of a drunken breeze, but he also inhaled some of it, if he didn't end the battle with the power of thunder, he would definitely not be able to shake the two bandits by himself.
"Haha, see how long you can last, a drunken breeze should also work. β
One of the bearded bandits laughed loudly, and three small cyan snakes appeared on his right arm, although the small snake was a condensation of true qi, it was vivid, and the delicate little eyes were full of color, and the snake couldn't believe that it was swallowing outward, and then slapped out with a palm towards another bearded bandit beside him.
The other bandit did not hesitate, and the palms of the three green snakes that were also wrapped around suddenly met them, and the palms of the two people were close to the six cyan and intertwined with each other and turned into a cyan circle of light, all of which wrapped the palms of the two people, accompanied by a muffled sound, and the palms suddenly slapped towards the two blood-colored giant claws that swept over, only to see a two-headed green snake rushing out of the light cluster, rising in the wind, and then tearing towards the bloody claws with a violent momentum.
Bang bang bang!
The two huge true qi strangled each other, and then suddenly exploded, and the chaotic energy instantly broke the surrounding ancient trees, and a deep pit several meters wide appeared in the center of the battle between the two sides, and wisps of scorched black qi were not rising from it.
The noble lady Ning Hong's face changed and she couldn't help but take a few steps back, and her eyes looked coldly at the two bandit leaders who were not harmed, these two should be practicing some kind of combined attack technique, this kind of exercise is not easy to cultivate, if you are successful in practice, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort when you fight.
"Hehe, look at you, you can really fight, but, those little cubs are"
Looking at Ning Hong, whose face was pale, the bearded leader smiled gloomily, and then his voice changed, and his eyes skimmed the remaining dozen teenagers not far away and said ill-intentionedly.
I saw that Ning Siran and Ning Ao had been protecting the rest of the others who had been drunk with the breeze by virtue of their own realm, but although their strength was not weak, they had also inhaled a small amount of poisonous gas before, so that the luck against the enemy also accelerated the spread of toxins in the body, and there was still a feeling of softness in the body, and it was no longer as strong as before.
At this moment, even the two bandits from the Seven Realms of Martial Arts who came from the forbidden place could only protect themselves, and the surrounding bandits naturally would not miss such a good opportunity when they saw this, and waved their long knives towards the ten disciples who fell to the ground.
"It's not good, you actually got drunk and blew?"
Song Tao, who came to the battlefield, actually saw the poison in everyone at a glance, at this time, dozens of long knives went straight to the head of the dozen or so killing thoughts, at this critical moment, Song Tao's body flew out like a ghost, only to see his hand with a wave of sword fingers, and the long knife in the hands of the bandits who rushed to the ground in an instant was broken by a fierce sword aura, and the body couldn't help but retreat.
Then Song Tao didn't stop and flew towards the noble lady Ning Hong, the speed was very fast, from the shot to now Meng Xiaofan has never seen Song Tao's movements, this is the first time he has seen Song Tao shoot like this, and his body flashed to Ning Siran and Ning Ao's side, and his body was full of real energy.
I heard Song Tao say before, these people were drunk with a clear breeze, although this medicine is not enough to kill, it will make no matter how powerful the martial arts master is, as long as he is contaminated with a trace of true qi, he will not be able to use it, and this medicine can only be configured if they take a rare herb in Panlong Mountain, even if they come to the vicinity of this herb, they will feel weak, but the people in the mountains who rely on the mountains to eat also configure a unique essential oil, as long as they smell it, they will not be affected.
"Thank you. β
Looking at the ordinary-looking Meng Xiaofan who came to his side, Ning Siran, who had a sweet appearance, nodded at him and thanked him, if these two people hadn't made a move before, although they could still resist temporarily, but the other people behind them were powerless at the moment, and they would inevitably become dead souls under the knife.
"You're welcome, just take a sip of this medicine and you'll recover. β
Meng Xiaofan threw a bottle larger than his thumb to the girl and said, and at the same time took the lead towards the short-bladed bandit who was holding the short-bladed bandit, his fists were already surging, and two majestic tiger heads were wrapped around it, accompanied by a shocking dragon and tiger groan, and the two forces that were enough to look down on the seven realms of martial arts instantly enveloped the short-bladed bandit who attacked.
"Be careful, take a sip of this medicine, everyone. β
Watching Meng Xiaofan automatically catch up with the bandit of the Seven Realms of Martial Dao, Ning Siran couldn't help but worry, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt that Meng Xiaofan was actually using the strength of the Six Realms to exert the power that was enough to look at the Seven Realms, and she was surprised and immediately came back to her senses, Qiong nose took a sip close to the mouth of the bottle, accompanied by a stimulating smell into the body, and the fatigue in the body slowly disappeared, and then immediately passed on the medicine.
After a while, the people who had been drunk with the breeze gradually recovered, and in an instant, more than a dozen true qi spread, and all the young people of the Ning family stared fiercely at the bandits around them, if it weren't for Meng Xiaofan and the two of them to make a move, they would have already become dead souls under the knife at this moment.
"Come and help, I can't hold it anymore. β
