The first day of the first month.

The sky was hazy, and all the soldiers gathered at the training ground.

The iron beggar was wearing a brand-new soldier king uniform, wearing an iron sword crown, and holding a three-foot iron ruler, standing in front of everyone with a majestic face, constantly adjusting the order of the team. He divided 72,000 men, one column of 8,000 men, into nine teams. Each queue specifies a fixed leader.

"Keep up with the left", "Turn right", "Go forward", "Turn back", "Go back", "......"

A simple command, shouted by the Iron Beggar, with extra power.

However, more than 70,000 people, listening to the password, were in chaos for a while. Some stupid, slow-reacting teenagers can't even tell the difference between left and right.

Then, they face a merciless punishment and scolding. Sometimes, the iron beggar is so angry that he directly kicks and flies several feet. Or a heavy slap to the ground.

"Listen to me, your life was bought for fifty taels of silver. Don't expect to eat here and get by. ”

While the iron beggar scolded, he still kept his rhythm and shouted the password. After three hours, the situation improved slightly, but it was still disorganized. The iron beggar ordered to disband, eat.

Chen Tianhong, Chen Tianan, and the scholar always stood aside and did not say a word.

The iron beggar walked over angrily, glared and said, "You don't have any physical fitness and qualification testing, and you recruited a soldier, it's really bad." The old man suggested that you better recruit again. ”

Yes, other families recruit people after strict qualification and physical tests. However, Chen Tianhong did not set it. First, he doesn't have this background and accumulation, and second, he feels that he is a stupid person, so why bother others.

Chen Tianhong said in a deep voice: "Senior, our agreement is 'no one will die, everything will be up to you'. Regardless of the outcome, eighteen months later, our engagement ended. The rest is for the younger generation. ”

The Iron Beggar frowned and did not speak.

After lunch, Chen Tianhong left home and headed for the Julong Mountain Range.

On the training ground, the iron beggar changed his style, and the severity and punishment were doubled. In less than an hour, more than 100 people were broken by him. Lombard had no choice but to bring in a doctor to treat the injured.

Since the beginning of the military training, two months have passed.

What Chen Tianhong never expected was that the iron beggar always just shouted simple passwords repeatedly, practicing simple military postures and formations. In his observations, this situation will at least continue.

Chen Tianhong didn't know how to train soldiers, so he could only choose to believe in the iron beggar. However, Longbo, Chen Tianxin and others couldn't hold it back.

Early one morning, Chen Tianxin came over and said in a low voice: "Old Seven, obviously everyone is standing in a very neat formation. But how can this iron beggar still practice like this?" The implication of his words was to doubt the iron beggar's ability.

"Undoubtedly, our military resources are indeed much weaker. Secondly, we can only unconditionally believe in the Iron Beggar Predecessors. Chen Tianhong groaned, "I remember that it was recorded in the classics of the sect that there was a spirit pill called 'Tiger Wolf Pill'. It can change a person's physique and qualifications to a certain extent. And this Dan recipe is only available in Dantang. So, I wondered if there were any other spiritual materials that could have a similar effect. ”

"Old Seven, look at this elixir. Chen Tianxin handed over a light red elixir and said, "This is a elixir recorded in a Dan book, called 'Golden Bone Pill', which is a low-level first-grade elixir. I used the only spiritual materials I had to refine a furnace. It was found that this pill was easier to refine. However, without one of the spiritual herbs called 'ambergris', this elixir became a poisonous elixir. ”

Chen Tianxin pondered: "Old Seven, I think, if I can collect the 'Snake Saliva Grass', I will definitely be able to refine the 'Golden Bone Pill' in large quantities. At that time, it may make up for part of the effect of the Tiger Wolf Pill. ”

"'Ambergris Grass', although it is a four-grade spiritual material, it is mainly distributed in the Nine Saints Mountain Range. It has always been controlled by the family in the Sanctuary. So, we want to get a lot of it, obviously it's not possible. Chen Tianhong said, "I can only go to the 'Snake Mountain' of the Julong Mountain Range to try my luck." ”

"I can't help it!" Chen Tianxin hurriedly interrupted, "'Snake Mountain', a famous and dangerous mountain range. Don't take this risk. ”

"Sixth brother, demon beasts are not terrible, what is really terrible is the human heart. The human heart has both the hearts of others and their own. If we can't overcome our hearts, we can't defeat even if the enemy is weak. Chen Tianhong patted the sixth brother on the shoulder and said, "Don't look at us now, it's scary." Actually, it's just flashy. If we want to consolidate the foundation of the family business and gain a firm foothold, our brothers have to work thousands of times harder to make it possible. ”

"Without further ado. I'm going to go. ”

Chen Tianhong stood up, left the house, and walked towards the Dragon Mountain Range that he was familiar with.

* * *

Snake Mountain.

Located in the middle of the Dragon Mountain Range, it is a famous weird and dangerous place on the Shenzhou Continent.

According to rumors, the snakes on this mountain are all with feet and wings, and they are extremely fierce. Even if he is a Jindan Realm monk, as long as he is entangled by snakes, he will never be able to escape. Therefore, as long as there is a monk with a normal mind, he will not try his luck there. Because that's purely looking for mildew.

Even if it was Chen Tianhong, who had a mysterious scepter and a white horse to help, he never thought of going there. It's just that people are forced to do this, it's like standing on the edge of a cliff, and you have to grasp that life-saving straw and seek a glimmer of life.

At noon that day, Chen Tianhong appeared at the foot of Snake Mountain. Truth be told, he only plays drums inside. Coincidentally, when the white horse arrived here, he showed no interest and did not have the slightest intention of going up the mountain.

Chen Tianhong scolded, but after all, the white horse is a livestock, and he has no choice. I had to hold the scepter and tentatively walk into the snake mountain.

The huge Snake Mountain is shrouded in a gray and black black fog, and the mountain-shaped terrain is completely invisible. Chen Tianhong stepped into the mountains and suddenly felt a soft feeling on the ground. It was a small, yellowish grass that looked like goose down. He didn't even know him.

At that moment, he already felt regret. However, even this small step made him have no time to regret it.

Almost instantly, thirteen red snakes flew out of the mist, poked out the snake core, and stabbed Chen Tianhong's neck. When Chen Tianhong reacted, his neck was already full of snakes, and the snake cores pierced into his skin for more than three inches. It made him feel as if these snake cores were directly piercing his neck, and his neck was already full of holes.

However, it was at this moment that a miracle happened.

On the mirror at the center of the eyebrows, the white, red, and green dots began to glow, as if urging the mirror. The breeze on the mirror gradually warmed up, and the wind speed became faster, forming a whirling spiritual power circle.

Suddenly, a stream of spiritual power was generated on his neck, surging towards the whirling spiritual power circle. And the source of this flow of spiritual power is the snake core. In the process, the wound on the neck gradually heals. The real feeling for Chen Tianhong is that his neck seems to have been recast.

Within a quarter of an hour, thirteen red snakes landed one after another, and the mirror in the center of the eyebrows, along with the dimming of the white, red, and green light, gradually calmed down and returned to normal.

Chen Tianhong twisted his neck, convinced that it belonged to him, and then he made up his mind. Then go and look at the red snake on the ground. This strange snake has red scales, a pair of green feet, a pair of yellow wings, and a body that is no thicker than a child's arms. At this moment, they seem to have been deliberately roasted, and they have become dried snakes.

Chen Tianhong remembered in his impression that there was a kind of snake stem, which was an extremely precious fifth-order spiritual material, but he was a little uncertain about whether this was the kind in front of him, and said to himself: "It's really a blessing to rely on, and a blessing to lurk." Could it be that if you want to get good things, you have to exchange your life for it!"

"Of course!"

Quietly, someone in the air replied leisurely. At the moment when Chen Tianhong raised his head, a pillar of purple sword slashed down in the air, completely enveloping him. Chen Tianhong had room to fight back, but instinctively raised his right hand and used the black staff in his hand to meet it.

The person who came was a high-ranking monk with a divine artistic conception. Even if it is an upright fight, Chen Tianhong has a slight chance of winning. What's more, the other party still launched a sneak attack suddenly.

At the moment when the sharp sword slashed into the black staff, the nine-star purple bead on the black staff suddenly shone brightly, and the nine-star purple light instantly penetrated the purple sword. The man in the air shouted, and the purple sword light dissolved. Immediately afterwards, there was a click, and the whole person fell to the ground like a ball of cotton wool.

At this moment, Chen Tianhong still didn't come back to his senses, holding the black scepter stupidly. I saw that the pillar of blood in the black scepter was scattered, as if there was more blood.

After a long time, Chen Tianhong slowly stood up, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and came to the man's side.

"Why did the Yuan family chase me?"

The man seemed to have his soul sucked away, he was weak, he only rolled his eyes, looked dead, and said with difficulty: "The Yuan family will not sit idly by and watch the rise of the greedy wolf guard." I advise you to disband the Greedy Wolf Guard sooner. ”

"You are not a disciple of the Sealing Temple. He is a disciple of the Yuan family. So, I guess that's not what my master meant. ”

The man shook his head with difficulty.

Chen Tianhong untied the person's ruyi bag, rummaged around for a while, and suddenly yelled, "you, the Yuan family", raised a kick, and kicked the person towards Snake Mountain like cotton wool.

He shrugged his shoulders and said softly: "It's all two shoulders and one head, who is afraid of whom." Isn't Zhenjun amazing?"

Xindao: This black rod is too fierce. If I let others know, I won't die 10,000 times. At present, only me, the white horse, and the invisible man are still alive with the black staff, ghosts, and animals.

Chen Tianhong couldn't help but shake his head, and said abruptly: "It doesn't seem that I can be blamed for this!"

After perking up slightly, he continued to walk forward. It's just that this time, the god of luck didn't appear again. Along the way, he encountered the same serpent attacks in succession, and then, with the help of that mysterious mirror, he survived the difficulties.

When the line came down, there was no shadow of the snake saliva grass, but the snake dried collected more than a thousand. And this harvest is finally no longer lucky and lying down, but is really exchanged for life.

It's just that what makes Chen Tianhong extremely puzzled is that on Snake Mountain, the attack launched by this kind of strange snake, no matter how he defends himself, is in vain. The attack characteristics of the strange snake are surprisingly consistent, and they are all aimed directly at his neck. You must know that the human neck is the softest part of the human body.

Seeing that he had gone up the mountain for more than 120 steps, and the black fog of the mountain was getting thicker and thicker, Chen Tianhong had to take the initiative to stop his steps. After a short time, he turned back decisively and prepared to go down the mountain. But at this moment, an extremely terrifying scene happened in front of me.

The man who had been slain before was resurrected.

The man stood straight, his eyes closed, and his whole body made a strange "gurgling" sound. After a while, he slowly rose into the air, stretched his hands and feet forward at the same time, and a blood-colored mist quickly appeared on his hands and feet.

At this moment, there was a sudden "quack" behind him. But when Chen Tianhong didn't react, he was taken away by a sticky force. In an instant, it was as if he had been dragged into the abyss of darkness. And on this part of the mountain of Snake Mountain, only a black toad and a resurrected Terran monk remained.

The black toad is like a mountain, with four legs like a foot and four soles like a big fan. It was excitedly looking at the living thing in front of it.

Suddenly, a hurricane came from the top of Snake Mountain, which swept over the place in an instant. Immediately afterwards, the living person turned into dark gray dust, and where the living person was, a large red and yellow python appeared.

Suddenly, the python and the toad tried to escape. But it was known that the hurricane that blew suddenly formed a whirling tornado, which swept the python and the toad together and brought them to the top of the mountain.

Suddenly, a purple light lit up on the toad's body. Then, a purple light burst out of the body and floated down the mountain like a meteor. At this moment, the black toad suddenly exploded, forcibly dissolving the tornado. But at the same time, it also blew the python and itself into ashes.

Gradually, Snake Mountain calmed down.

Chen Tianhong, who escaped, was trembling violently, his legs were only weak, and his eyes were full of fear. The white horse next to him neighed softly, Chen Tianhong glared at it, and almost fell to the ground.

Chen Tianhong suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and he clearly felt that the entire Snake Mountain moved slightly.

It was as if the body of a giant snake was squirming slightly.

At that moment, he felt fear like never before, and all that was left in his heart was the thought of escaping from here. He immediately turned over and got on his horse, but just as the white horse moved, he felt the snake mountain squirm slightly.

He was completely stunned.

The white horse raised his head and hissed, jumped in the air, and fled here with Chen Tianhong.

"Predator, you can't beat it?"

Chen Tianhong, who was on horseback, gradually reacted. began to think about the strange things in Snake Mountain and pondered how to deal with it.
