Chapter 22 The Shi Family
Shang Alliance, Tianyun City, Shijia, and Panshi Hall.
Yang Hai, who was slightly fat, sat upright on the stone slab, squinted his eyes, and flipped through the pages of accounts, reporting the mining situation of the mine in recent months to Shi Jian, the head of the Shi family.
Shi Jian is in his seventies, but he is energetic and has black hair. As the head of the Shi family, he is only wearing a coarse linen for practicing skills. He sits on a gray-brown rock above with a golden sword. His expression is calm and his eyes are introverted. He listens carefully to Yang Hai's words.
After Yang Hai explained the situation one by one, Shi Jian frowned and said, "Haier, the ore mined in the mines has been 20% less than in the previous few months. What's going on?"
"Because of the Mo family and the Ling family." Yang Hai sighed, "The skilled miners have been poached a lot by these two companies at high prices, and we are not in enough manpower. Recently, we have suffered a lot of losses in the secret battle with these two companies. The miners are afraid that we can't fight those two companies, and with the high prices of those two companies, they move to the place."
"Hmph!" Shi Jian shouted coldly, "These two families are obviously deliberately targeting us. Since the marriage between Mo Yanyu and Ling Shaofeng was finalized, the relationship between these two families has become increasingly close. Recently, in the secret fight between us and the Mo family, the Ling family has also sent people to intervene. They must have reached a tacit understanding in secret, otherwise the Mo family will be able to fight us."
"Head of the family, are we going to fight back?" Yang Hai asked.
"Don't worry, I have to make a plan." Old God Shi Jian was there, paused for a moment, suddenly frowned and asked, "Has that little bastard Shi Yan returned yet?"
"No, I was about to tell you about this." Yang Hai smiled bitterly, "When the boy left, he said he would go to the Dark Forest. It's almost a year and he hasn't come back yet. I got news two days ago that Mo Chaoge and Mo Yanyu were in the Dark Forest. Do you think something would happen to that boy? When he left, he didn't bring any powerful family guards around him. Qing'er went there early, I'm just such a child, I'm afraid..."
Shi Jian frowned and was silent for a while before sighing: "This kid has not had my Shi family's 'petified martial spirit' since he was born. He has never liked martial arts since he was a child. He has studied some strange things all day long and liked to run around. It's really uneasy."
"The head of the family, I am not good at blood. If I had the 'martial soul', the child that Qing'er and I gave birth to would not be like this." Yang Hai said ashamed.
"This is all God's will." Shi Jian shook his head and said, "Hai'er, you were picked up by me from the endless sea. Although you are not my biological son, I have always treated you as my biological son. Otherwise, I would not betroth Qing'er to you. Yes, you have no martial spirit and no hard practice of martial arts, but the Shi family's strategic planning and the management of mines are as little as you? Without you, Shi Jian would definitely not have gathered so much wealth. Although you are not good at martial arts, your contribution to the Shi family is no less than anyone else!"
"But now, a peak warrior is much more precious than a huge wealth." Yang Hai smiled mockingly, "If I had a 'martial soul', I thought I would have practiced martial arts hard. If Yan'er inherited his mother's 'petified martial arts soul', maybe he would have practiced it, but why would this 'martial soul' be born destined? Alas..."
Shi Jian nodded, sighed, and said, "Yes, a peak warrior is indeed much more precious than wealth now. This is true."
"Head of the family, do you think something will happen to that kid?" Yang Hai was still worried about this.
"Nothing should be wrong." Shi Jian thought for a while and said, "That boy didn't like martial arts, so the Mo family had never paid attention to him. Neither Mo Chaoge nor Mo Yanyu had seen that boy. If he didn't know him, there would be no question of targeting him."
"But I still think something is wrong. Logically, he should have come back long ago."
"Well, I'll ask the people stationed in Youji Town to pay attention. Youji Town is close to the dark forest. As soon as that boy appears, news will come. Don't worry."
"Thank you, the head of the family."
"What are you thanking? That kid is your son, isn't it my grandson?" Shi Jian glared and shouted, "How many times have you told you, don't call me the head of the family. I am your adoptive father and your father-in-law. You can call anything, just don't call the head of the family."
"Hair remembers it."
"Um."
...
Dark forest, quiet night.
On a remote lawn, Luo Hao stood up like a mountain, and the five-fold gravity field was released from him as the center. The heavy pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.
Shi Yan was sweating profusely, jumping around Luo Hao and making a thrust fighting move. The blue veins on his face were tense, and the little snake trembled around his neck.
In the grass, Mu Yubutter bit a green grass and looked at it secretly.
"Guess, how long can this kid last today?" Diyalan quietly approached, squatted down with her round buttocks, and asked in a low voice alongside Mu Yudie.
"Have you completed your mission today?" Mu Yudie chuckled and did not answer.
"Zhao Xin has taken over. It was really thrilling just now. A single-horned silver snake was wrapped around the branch. I didn't care. I almost bit me to death. Fortunately, I reacted in time, otherwise I wouldn't see you."
Diyalan cursed with fear on his face and cursed: "There are more and more monsters I have encountered recently, so we should be careful. In the past three days, we have met with five waves of monsters, especially at night, many monsters are active frequently. Next time you peek, it is best to bring me with you, otherwise there may be danger."
"You mainly want to say the last sentence, right?" Mu Yudie chuckled softly.
"Ha, you can see it." Diyalan didn't hide it and said frankly: "That boy is really amazing. He can break through the limit every three days, and he is stronger than his endurance every time. I am in the third level of the innate heaven, and I dare not mess around in Uncle Luo's five times gravity field. This guy is simply a madman. He will not stop every time he doesn't faint, madman!"
"The most terrifying thing about him is not his endurance." Mu Yudie shook his head, and a strange light flashed in his beautiful eyes.
"Well, his recovery ability is even more perverted. I really can't believe that he only has the cultivation level of the first level of the innate realm, so how could he have such a terrifying recovery ability?" Diyalan was also confused.
"This guy has many secrets..." Mu Yudie pondered for a while and muttered softly: "I haven't seen a guy as edible as him. He has almost eaten up our food in the past three days. I'm starting to worry about the food now. He is really a big bucket."
"Ha." Diyalan laughed, "This little bastard is interesting to speak, and a casual sentence can make people laugh. He has many novel ideas, which I have never heard of. It is reasonable to say that emperors should be elected by civilians, and that merchants can control a country. He can also write sour poems. I can't figure it out. He is only seventeen years old, so why do he have so many strange things in his mind?"
"Well, it's this seventeen-year-old guy. When he looked at you and me, he seemed to want to swallow us alive. I've never seen such a naked possessive look. This bastard is so bad!" Mu Yudie gritted his teeth and made a slashing move, "I'll let him know how powerful I am!"
"Let's talk about it when your martial soul is restored, ha, let him see what's wrong? Anyway, there will be no piece of meat falling off. Two guys like Zhao Xin and Hu Long only dare to peek at my butt without courage while I'm facing my back to them. I despise this kind of thing even more. Compared to them, that kid is much more courageous, I like it." Diyalan smiled boldly.
"Your heart is rippling?" Mu Yudie sneered, "Is he still a child? Don't seduce others?"
"Have you seen that child, can he have that kind of gaze?" Diyalan asked in a low voice, "I suspect that this guy is actually more than that old. Maybe he uses some secret technique to make himself look so young. This is deliberately pretending to be young! Maybe, this is also some kind of secret special martial soul..."
"It makes sense, it seems we should pay more attention." Mu Yudie pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.
...
"Peng!"
Shi Yan opened his limbs and fell down to the sky. He was exhausted and exhausted. He said in a hoarse voice: "How many times have you been?"
"Fifteen circles." Luo Hao looked complicated, "You keep jumping, falling, rolling and other actions in these fifteen circles, and you are under exponential pressure than ordinary people. Boy, are you really...being?"
"Ahem, I will find out if I can't bear it tomorrow." Shi Yan felt that it was difficult to speak.
During these three days, during the day, whenever he has free time, he quietly practices "Rampage".
Under his ascetic practice, the acupoints on his chest and waist can also release negative forces with his heart, making his whole body look much thinner.
He had almost refined all parts of his body, except for the most difficult brain to practice...
At night, he pestered Luo Hao and asked Luo Hao to use five times the gravity field. Under such huge pressure, he came to hone himself crazy.
In just three days, he broke through the limit of eleven laps to the limit of 15 laps, and while running, he actively increased the difficulty, performed jumping, dodging, and other more physically consuming movements.
During this high-intensity training, he obviously felt that his whole body had increased too much, and his hands, feet, muscles, muscles, and internal organs had become stronger. Whenever he woke up from practice in the morning, under the normal gravity field, he could easily jump into the air for several meters. He felt that his whole body was filled with explosive power, and even the sensitivity of his hands and feet was greatly enhanced.
It is precisely because of this practical benefit that he can see every day that he constantly increases the difficulty, destroys himself like a demon, and uses the most cruel and craziest means to temper his body, greatly improving his physical skills in all aspects. Even the speed of essence cultivation and condensation is much faster.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Luo Hao's face changed and he exclaimed: "This is the sound of the level 4 monster 'Fire Cloud Demon Python'! The Fire Cloud Demon Python' is very difficult to mess with, but it is usually not active at night. Someone must have alarmed it!"
"Uncle Luo!" Zhao Xin and Hu Long came in a hurry, with an urgent face.
"What's the situation?" Luo Hao shouted.
"A team of warriors hunting the 'Fire Cloud Demon Python'. The 'Fire Cloud Demon Python' is coming towards us. The warriors are still chasing them. The 'Fire Cloud Demon Python' has been completely angered." Zhao Xin said anxiously.
"Oh no!" Luo Hao suddenly took off the broad sword on his shoulder and said, "Protect Xiaodie!" After saying that, he suddenly rushed out.
Shi Yan was sore all over, but he suddenly sat up, silently wielding his essence, his eyes shining brightly, and he stared calmly at the direction where Luo Hao rushed out.
Chapter completed!
