Everyone was also shocked by the scene in front of them, opened their mouths wide, and looked at Chu Jiang's posture of punching out with a look of astonishment, you must know that this stone is not an ordinary stone, but a sulfur stone, this stone has always existed when the village was established, and the ancestors tried everything they could not break it, and there was no way to remove it, after all, this sulfur stone is notoriously heavy, and it is said that it is only possible to crush it if you cultivate the quenching body realm to the extreme.

It's not that there are no cultivators in the village who have never been out of the quenching realm, the members of the mercenary team are all people who have already reached the quenching realm, but they have only inherited the cultivation methods of their ancestors, and they can barely reach the initial level of entry when the aura of heaven and earth is not abundant, and the most powerful can only reach the intermediate level, as for the high-level quenching body realm, only Liu Qiang, the son of Village Chief Liu and the captain of the mercenary team, has cultivated to this realm in the past hundred years, but he can only leave traces on this stone, and he can't directly smash the Xuan sulfur stone like Chu Jiang now.

Chu Jiang was also shocked by this power after learning the origin of this stone, when did his strength become so domineering, is it because he is handsome, Lian Lao is protecting him, and the narcissistic man is shamelessly boasting about himself in disguise, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously set off a cheap smile.

The villagers didn't see Chu Jiang's appearance, but they all lowered their heads in shame You look at me, I look at you, and finally the village chief spoke: "Brother Chu, it's our clumsiness, everyone has never seen anything in the world, I hope you don't have the same knowledge as us." ”

Hearing the village chief's voice, Chu Jiang also pulled back from his fantasies, and said without blushing and heartbeat: "The village chief said that it was funny, after all, you are also considering my safety, and it is also a matter of human life, if I don't believe the big words of a hairy boy, after all, seeing is believing, and hearing is false." ”

Seeing that Chu Jiang was not angry but gave them the steps to go down, this young man's style of acting is not at all like what he should be at this age, mature and wise, because of this, the village chief also admires and respects Chu Jiang more and more, he saluted Chu Jiang slightly, and arched his hand: "Then please leave everything to Brother Chu, I will immediately gather people to go with the little brother." ”

"No need, the villagers who stay now are ordinary people, I only need someone who has preferably entered this barren ancient forest, and someone who probably knows the location of Brother Liu and their trapped position to lead the way, one more person is more dangerous. Chu Jiang thought about it for a moment, but he was also worried that it would be dangerous for so many people to go together, and he was not sure that he could protect everyone, so he refused Village Chief Liu's arrangement.

"Okay, then let Zhao De, a member of the mercenary team who stayed in the village, go with you, he often goes to the barren ancient forest with Qiangzi to hunt spirit beasts, and he is also familiar with the routes there, and he also has a certain ability to protect himself. Village Chief Liu pointed to the young man who came to report the news before.

After learning the details with Zhao De, Chu Jiang asked Zhao De and the village chief to prepare a few things, put them in the storage bag, and then under the expectant eyes of the villagers, Chu Jiang and Zhao De went towards the outer area of the barren ancient forest together.

The vegetation in the barren ancient forest is very dense, and each tree is almost the size of two people hugging each other, and from time to time the sound of spirit beasts roaring and roaring can be heard from the depths.

"Brother Chu, be careful, this barren ancient forest is full of dangers, in addition to wild spirit beasts that can threaten our safety, there are also some strange plants with deadly poison, these plants have taken the lives of many people who come here to hunt for treasures and hunt spirit beasts, so if you see any strange and beautiful plants, try to stay away from them and don't get close to them.

There is also more than one team in this barren ancient forest, but there are many forces composed of expeditions and mercenary teams here to hunt and hunt for treasures, competing with each other, now there are only two of us, so we try to bypass them after we meet, and do not conflict with them, otherwise the other party may indiscriminately treat us as enemies and attack us, and it is easy to attract the attention of spirit beasts and delay the best rescue time. ”

Zhao De introduced the survival rules of the barren ancient forest with Chu Jiang, who was following behind, and gave Chu Jiang a manual wrapped in animal skin, and continued: "This is a survival manual for all kinds of spirit beasts, poisonous plants, strange phenomena and other survival that our ancestors in Sihu Village have summed up with their lives and experiences in this barren ancient forest for generations. ”

Chu Jiang opened it and took a look, and found that the records in it were very detailed, and it was also drawn on it in the form of patterns, which was very easy to identify, such as what various spirit animals liked, what they hated, as well as the symptoms of poisoning of various poisonous plants and what plants could solve the poison of that plant, in short, this was like a treasure for a rookie like Chu Jiang who never knew.

Two people walked one after the other on the winding sheep intestine path in the ancient forest, Zhao De who walked in front was holding a map, constantly searching for something around, and finally Zhao De stopped, squatting on the stone slab next to the root of an ancient tree, only to see that he first used his hands to cut away the dead leaves scattered on the slate, and after blowing away the dust with his mouth, a strange pattern appeared on the slate, which seemed to be a code, and seemed to be a signpost arrow, just like an erhu.

Chu Jiang also saw this pattern and asked a little curiously: "I seem to have seen the pattern engraved on this stone slab in the village, but it is different from that pattern, according to my guess, this should be the code left by Brother Liu and them!"

Zhao De nodded and praised: "Brother Chu is really good eyesight, this is indeed the unique code mark of our Sihu Village, as long as we go out on a mission, we will leave such a mark along the way, so that the people who come to the rescue behind will know the direction of the team when they find them, so far, it seems that we are on the right path, they are indeed going in this direction." ”

"That's great, let's speed up, after all, Brother Liu, they may not last long. Chu Jiang proposed.

Later, the two found this mark on the trunk of the tree and in various corners and pursued it all the way.

......

Just when Chu Jiang and they arrived, there was a team of about ten people in a cave on the other side of the barren ancient forest, the outside of the cave was full of green trees, and the scorching sun in the sky hung high, emitting a dazzling light, but in this place, there was no sunlight at all, and the area was gloomy and gloomy. If someone looked out from inside the cave, all the eyes were shining green, staring at the people inside the cave, the wolf's mouth showed sharp fangs, saliva dripped down the corners of the wolf's mouth, and from time to time let out a few whining low roars.

At the entrance of the cave, a group of people were holding crude torches made of wrist-thick branches, illuminating the entrance of the cave, and this team was Liu Qiang's mercenary team who came out of Sihu Village to carry out a mission but was in distress.

"Captain, how many hours can our torches last at most, what should we do?" Someone was holding a flame at the entrance of the cave that was about to be extinguished, and kept waving it outside, while saying anxiously to the people next to him.

"Everyone, hold on, don't give up, I have sent a distress letter to the village, I believe they have received it at this time, and they are rushing to rescue us!" Liu Qiang comforted the uneasy team members.

"Captain, or we'll fight them!"

"Do you want to take us with you to make a senseless sacrifice? This outside is surrounded by the Xuancang wolf, although it is an ordinary spirit animal, but this Xuancang wolf is a social creature, they all act in groups, and this Xuancang wolf has thick skin, extremely high defense, extremely difficult to deal with, fortunately, this Xuancang wolf has the weakness of photophobia, otherwise we would have been buried in the wolf's belly. Liu Qiang said angrily.

"It's all because the guys in Pudong Village, who used to rob them of the target of a mission, resentful, and went against us everywhere, if they hadn't been harassing us, and they hadn't confronted us head-on, they wouldn't have forced us into the territory of this Xuancang wolf, if the captain hadn't found this easy-to-defend cave, I'm afraid their trick would have succeeded. ”

"yes, they were premeditated this time. Liu Qiang also nodded to agree with the team's point of view, and then began to recall the whole thing in his heart.

At the beginning, his team went to the mission location according to the route planned before, but Pudong Village, which had never been at odds with the village, also received the same mission as his own village, and then met halfway.

Usually, as long as the people in the two villages meet, they will fight, or they will speak ill of each other, but today the other party did not pay attention to it, but went in another direction, Liu Qiang felt very strange at that time, because this is not the other party's style, but usually he has been adhering to the principle that more things are better than less things, and seeing that the other party has no intention of looking for trouble, he didn't think much about it.

But something unexpected happened, just after meeting them, his team was constantly harassed by a group of masked people on the way, because there are many dangers in the reckless ancient forest, everyone is cautious, if there is a fight, making a strong sound will attract powerful spirit beasts, and it will also attract the covetousness of other teams, which is a catastrophe for the entire team.

And the other party also grasped this, kept harassing them with guerrilla warfare, and did not fight head-on, making violent noises around, as long as the spirit beast was introduced, it would directly flee, and the consequences were directly borne by the mercenary team of Sihu Village, the most despicable thing about the other party was not these, as long as Liu Qiang and they successfully got rid of the spirit beast, they would start a new round of guerrilla, and in the face of the other party's strategy, Liu Qiang was also helpless.

In the end, Liu Qiang's team could only walk cautiously, but they still deviated from the original route, and in order to ensure safety, Liu Qiang also left marks in hidden places along the way.

The other party saw them like this, and they became even more unscrupulous, sticking to them like a dog's skin plaster, and the number of attacks became more and more, as if they were deliberately driven to a place, and the final result was that Liu Qiang and they were successfully besieged in the cave by the Xuancang wolves.

Seeing that the people of Sihu Village successfully fell into their trap, the other party finally tore off the last disguise, and directly let out a traitorous laugh after the success and left a sentence: "Hahaha, everyone in Sihu Village is quite satisfied with this great gift, this time you will all die here! ”

The voice gradually faded away, this voice Liu Qiang was familiar with, this is not who Jiang Ke, the captain of Pudong Village, will be, and Liu Qiang finally knows the true purpose of this group.

Liu Qiang, who knew the truth, was also directly angered by the other party, and let out a roar like a tiger, roaring angrily: "Jiang Ke, you villain!" This voice still makes the other team members remember it vividly, resounding in the sky, and at the same time inspiring their hatred and contempt for the Pudong Village mercenary team.
