Chapter 21: The Dregs
"Dead old man, what do you see, this method is getting worse and worse, I have been torturing them for so long, everyone has been killed, and no one has come, where is there such a stupid person now. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Seeing the reaction of the middle-aged man, the glamorous woman said dissatisfiedly.
"No, there are always fools in this world who have too much sense of justice. The middle-aged man was still staring at the big stone, thoughtful, and showed a hint of a smile.
When the beautiful woman saw his smile, she suddenly raised her head and said, "You said there are people there?" Okay, I'll bring someone up and catch them now!"
"No need, it's not ordinary people who came this time, besides, people have left early, you just stay here, and I'll go alone. The middle-aged man stopped her recklessness, and he could feel that the people who came this time were different from before.
"Also, your anger is getting heavier and heavier, it is impossible to break through to the Bone Refining Realm like this, I know that the events of the year have changed your temperament greatly, but you have been stuck in the Blood Refining Realm for so many years, if you are still like this, don't think about breaking through in this life, and don't expect a day of revenge. ”
Hearing the middle-aged man mention the events of that year, the beautiful woman's face showed resentment: "Back then, if you weren't too useless back then, how could I be arrested by those people, I became the way I am now, it's all your fault, because you are incompetent!"
The hysterical resentment of the beautiful woman did not make the middle-aged man's expression change, he had long been accustomed to her appearance over the years, for him, his daughter had long since died, and this was just a crazy woman with twisted hatred in front of him, if it weren't for the promise to his wife, he would have been too lazy to care about her and let her fend for herself.
"Look at her, don't let her run around. ”
The middle-aged man commanded, and then his figure flashed, his body had jumped into the air, his feet borrowed from the mountain wall, and he turned over, and he had already turned over to the boulder where Lu Fan was hiding just now, and after identifying the direction, he chased in the northwest direction.
The remaining woman had a hideous face, looked at the direction where the middle-aged man disappeared, turned to the others and said, "Tie up the remaining person who is not dead for me, I haven't tortured it yet!"
Just when the middle-aged man was chasing after him, on the other side, Lu Fan and the others had already retreated to five miles away before stopping, their faces were a little unnatural, obviously shocked by the beautiful woman's words.
"I didn't expect that woman to look good, but she was so vicious, she was simply a femme fatale!" Mi Ke patted his heart, and his heart palpitated.
"Those people are obviously ruthless people, those two people can't live, we can't do anything. Zhao Xingjian said.
"Not only that, almost all of these people are martial cultivators in the Flesh Refining Realm and Blood Refining Realm, and the middle-aged man with a knife is even more dangerous, at least a martial cultivator in the Four-Rank Bone Refining Realm, so I asked you to leave, I'm afraid he will find us after a long time." Duanmu Xue said with a solemn expression.
Everyone was shocked, the fourth-grade powerhouse, this is not something they can deal with, with their strength, even dealing with a shadow leopard is so reluctant, if it is against a fourth-grade powerhouse of the same level, there is almost no chance of winning.
Because it is different from the Yuan Beast, the strength of the Yuan Beast lies in the strength of the body, and human beings may barely fight with their own wisdom, but it is different for the strong people who are also human beings, whether it is combat experience or strength skills, high-level martial arts cultivation is almost all-round crushing of low-level martial arts, which is a desperate gap.
"Then what should we do now, they are just blocking our way back, if we take a detour, it will take at least two more days, and when the breath of the shadow leopard dissipates, it will also be very troublesome. Zhao Xingjian asked.
Thinking of this, several people were worried, Duanmu Xue looked at the sky, gritted her teeth and said: "It's too far to detour, it's possible to take advantage of the night, now it's getting dark, let's find a place to rest first, take advantage of the night at night, and quickly break through, they can't find it." ”
In fact, there is another way, and that is to discard the Shadow Leopard's Yuan Flesh, so that they will not be limited by the time limit, but the fourth-level Yuan Beast is so precious, which is unacceptable to them.
So they all agreed to this decision, and they found a hidden cave, stayed inside, and waited for it to get dark while recovering their strength.
As it was getting dark, the temperature in the mountains began to drop, and they lit a small fire to keep warm.
In this process, Lu Fan did not speak, but lowered his head to think about something, and his strange behavior finally attracted everyone's attention.
"Lu Fan, what are you thinking? Duanmu Xue asked.
"You don't seem to be surprised, there are a lot of things like this?" Lu Fan suddenly looked up and asked.
A few people were stunned, and they didn't know why, Duanmu Xue asked, "What do you mean?"
"It's just like the gang just now, for a few medicinal herbs, you can kill people at will without any pressure. ”
Duanmu Xue glanced at him strangely: "It's normal, it's not too normal, for these robbers, there is nothing they can't do, let alone for a few herbs, sometimes just because of a momentary pleasure, people can be tortured to death, didn't you see it before, it's a bunch of scum." ”
"And that's not all. Zhao Xingjian said, "I once heard that there was a medicine picker who picked a plant of Yuan Medicine, was caught by robbers, and finally escaped by luck in the hands of the robbers, and then those robbers sneaked into the city, arrested his wife and children, threatened him to hand over the Yuan Medicine, and finally strangled his wife and children to death with his own hands in front of him, and the medicine picker went crazy on the spot." ”
Lu Fan's heart was shocked, remembering what the beautiful woman said just now, and swallowed his saliva with difficulty: "Isn't there anyone who cares? After all, there is still the City Lord's Mansion, isn't there still the City Guard?"
"City Guards?hmph, City Guards are just a bunch of waste, they don't care about anything except blackmailing ordinary medicine pickers, and each medicine picker's harvest must be handed over to them, they only care about this.
There are even rumors that the family of the medicine picker was captured with the tacit consent of the city guards, and the reward was seventy percent of the yuan medicine, otherwise, do you think they can really take people out of the city so easily?
Some people even say that the bandits in the 100,000 mountains themselves are allowed by the City Lord's Mansion by default, and the purpose is to squeeze the harvest of all the medicine pickers for the sake of one singing red face and the other singing black face. ”
Lu Fan's heart was cold, but he didn't expect the truth to be like this: "Then we have to hand over forty percent of our harvest this time to them?"
"That's not necessary, we are from the academy, and the academy is a place where talents are directly cultivated for the Silver Moon Sect, and the City Lord's Mansion doesn't dare to stretch out his hand here. ”
Duanmu Xue suddenly said: "But the premise is that our harvest this time cannot be exposed, otherwise, if we let them know that we have obtained nearly a hundred herbs at once, as well as the yuan medicine of white jade mushrooms, I am afraid that they will go crazy, and no one knows what they will do then." ”
A few people were in their hearts, everyone knew that this harvest was too big, the wealth was moving, when the wealth reached a certain level, it was enough to make people crazy, and then take risks, and it was not strange to make any crazy moves.
"It seems that my luck is really good, I actually encountered such a big harvest, and there are such treasures as white jade mushrooms, it seems that God must have seen that I have suffered too much, and specially came to compensate me. ”
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded outside the entrance of the cave, and the faces of everyone in the cave suddenly changed!
