"Since Brother Li kindly invites me, my two brothers can't refuse. We two brothers will join you and go into the mountain together. But let's be clear, where our brothers go after entering the mountain is up to us.
My own will."
"Haha, this is natural. The reason why we go into the mountain together as a group is to prevent us from encountering some robbers who specialize in robbing our mercenaries and adventurers on the road. After entering the mountain, it doesn't matter if the two brothers don't go with us. They can go wherever they like.
"Li Lang said with a smile.
"Well, please take care of me along the way." Xiang Chen said.
"By the way, I still don't know the names of the two brothers? How do they call them?" Li Lang asked.
"His name is Monkey. As for me, I'll call him Chen Feng." Xiang Chen did not tell the other party his real name.
"Hey, you can call him Gouzi," Xia Houwu said with a smile.
"Brother Monkey, Brother Chen, those are some of my companions, Zhao Mang, Qian Zhong, Sun Fang, and Liu Er." Li Lang also introduced his companions.
Later, Li Lang invited his people to come over to share a table and drank with Xiang Chen and Xia Houwu. After drinking, he paid for the food and drinks generously.
After drinking, the two also went back to their room to rest.
This room is a large bed room that can sleep two people. Xia Houwu, who is not very particular about it, does not take a shower and just falls down to sleep. After Xiang Chen takes a shower, he puts the Dragon Que Demon Sword in its scabbard on the bedside and
Instead of falling asleep, he took several Qi and Blood Pills to refine and practice, which strengthened his internal strength.
He has reached the ninth level of the physical realm, and the next step is to open up the Ren and Du channels, enter the realm of the divine treasure, and open the divine treasure.
However, he was born with spiritual veins, so he didn't even need to open them. As long as his internal strength was strong enough and he could open the divine treasure in his Dantian, he could step into the realm of divine treasure.
A few rooms away was the room where Li Lang and the others lived, and these five people were gathering together at the moment.
"I didn't expect that this time I could really pull two little fat sheep into the mountains together. I still don't have enough experience in the world."
The mercenary named Zhao Mang sneered.
"Yes, those two boys, you can tell by looking at their clothes that they are not ordinary young men. They have two silver and jade belts. Not to mention the money inside, the value of the two silver and jade belts alone is enough to keep us cool for several years."
Liu Er sneered.
"What matters to me is that sword. The knife that the boy used to kill Hu Niu. Hu Niu's sword is also a low-grade, first-level treasured sword. It can actually be cut in one blow. That kid's knife is probably a mid-grade treasured sword.
A fifth- or sixth-level sword, even a top-grade sword is not impossible." Li Lang said with narrowed eyes.
"High-quality sword! Then, it must be worth tens of thousands of gold coins!"
Several people exclaimed in shock and disbelief, and the expressions in their eyes became even more greedy.
"This vote has been done, and the money we got has been used to squander it or practice for many years. Tomorrow, we will do it after we go into the mountains, you know? We can't leak it and ruin our reputation." Li Lang said.
"Understood!" the four said.
The world is dangerous and you are rich. Don't trust strangers who approach you. Kindness is human nature, and greed is even more natural. When the cruel survival laws and the environment wipe out the kindness in people's hearts, what is left is that people do not care for themselves.
Cruelty and greed will be damned.
In Xiang Chen's room.
"Gouzi, you are still practicing. Go to sleep quickly. We will go into the mountains tomorrow." Xiahou Wu muttered in confusion.
"Monkey, do you really believe those people?" Xiang Chen asked, sitting cross-legged.
"Li Lang and the others? What's wrong? They are all regular mercenaries, bound by royal laws and mercenary laws."
Xia Houwu asked.
"Wang Fa..." Xiang Chen chuckled and said, "Don't believe that in a place like this. Li Lang and the others are too positive and enthusiastic towards us. Although I don't want to maliciously speculate on other people's good intentions, we must not
Don't be more vigilant. You only have one life, and it's gone once it's over. Be extra vigilant tomorrow. You can't completely trust them."
"Okay, okay, I got it. If you don't want to sleep, I'll go to sleep first." Xiahou Wu yawned, wrapped himself in a quilt and fell asleep, his snoring sounding like thunder.
Xiang Chen closed his eyes and concentrated on practicing.
The night is getting deeper, the cold wind is howling outside, it is already November, the weather is already very cold, and the cold moon hangs high in the sky.
Behind the inn, four people were looking down at a room on the third floor.
"Are you sure? Those two boys live there?" one of the figures said.
This man is thin, but his eyes are extremely sharp, like an eagle, and he is wearing black night clothes.
"It's confirmed, it's that room. The little bastard who injured Zhou Tu and a young man live there."
Another man wearing night clothes and a mask said.
"Brother, I must kill that boy, I will chop off his legs."
A man in black with his thigh wrapped in gauze said ferociously.
This man was apparently the thief Xia Houwu had injured before.
"Don't worry, if he dares to ruin the good deeds of our Jinghong Thieves Group, he will be killed. Go."
The man in black said coldly.
The Jinghong Thieves Group is the most famous group of thieves within hundreds of miles. Its leader, Yan Hong, is one of the best in body skills within hundreds of miles. He comes and goes without a trace. All the thieves under his command are also Qinggong masters.
Amazing body skills.
On the third floor, more than ten meters high, I saw two men in black stepping on their toes. A burst of true energy burst out, condensing into Yan Ying. The whole person soared into the air seven or eight meters high. On the second step, the air let out a Yan cry.
.
The two of them actually used their strength to fly up several meters in the air. They landed outside the window sill and grabbed the window sill with one hand.
What a handsome Qinggong!
One of them took out a sharp bamboo pipe from his arms.
The window paper made of oil paper was punctured, and the bamboo pipe was inserted into it, spitting out streams of green smoke!
Green smoke lingered, then spread out.
The two waited for a minute after blowing the smoke, and then used the iron saw to cut the window strips. Covered by the whistling of the cold wind, the sound of the sawing was not loud, and soon the two men cut out a window strip.
A big hole that can be drilled into.
The two of them entered the room quietly like civet cats.
I saw two people lying on the bed in the room, Xiahou Wu was fast asleep, and Xiang Chen, who was practicing, was also on the bed.
"Hehe, I fell asleep like a pig after being hit by the incense." One person sneered and looked at Xiahou Wu.
"That boy must be the guy who injured Zhou Tu."
"We made two, took our things and left."
Another person said coldly. The two of them took out a long knife carried on their backs and came to Xiang Chen and Xiang Chen. They looked at Xiang Chen who was sleeping soundly.
It’s better if you’re dead in sleep and don’t feel any pain.”
The sword was filled with murderous aura, and the sword slashed towards Xiang Chen's neck. The other man also slashed towards Xia Houwu's head, killing both of them on the spot.
