At this moment, Su Xiao's brows and eyes showed strong murderous intent, and she clenched her fists angrily.
He originally thought that the old man Lu Kang was just here for him and would not do anything to Chen Shi and Lin Xue. After all, they were both Lu Kang's former subordinates.
Therefore, Su Xiao did not explain the truth to Chen Shi and Lin Xue.
But what Su Xiao didn't expect was that Lu Kang would actually attack Chen Shi and Lin Xue in order to lure him out.
"Old bastard, you dare to attack my people. If I don't kill you today, I won't call you Su Xiao!"
As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, he walked out of the store with a gloomy face.
At this time, Chen Badao and other members of the Badao mercenary group happened to arrive at the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Beasts.
"Brother Su, has that old guy taken action?"
Seeing that Su Xiao's expression was wrong, Chen Badao immediately asked.
"This old bastard actually dares to threaten me with the life of my store employee."
"Do you really think that I, Su Xiao, am so easy to threaten?"
Su Xiao looked at Chen Badao seriously: "I'm going to ask Brother Chen to help me act in a play tonight."
"Don't worry, since I promised you, I won't just sit idly by."
"I think this old guy is crazy."
Chen Batao has known Lu Kang for a long time and knew that he was a narrow-minded person, but he never expected that he would reach such a crazy level.
"Thank you, Brother Chen."
Su Xiao solemnly hugged his fists at Chen Badao, and then he, Chen Badao and others immediately ran toward the woods outside Ningxiang Town.
This bamboo forest does not refer to the jungle in the west of Ningxiang Town, but a small bamboo forest outside the entrance to the east town of Ningxiang Town. Although there are also fantasy beasts living in it, they are all very weak and gentle.
Even if ordinary humans enter, there will be no danger. It is considered a very safe wilderness.
Because of this, no one from the Beast Control Corps is stationed here.
The old man Lu Kang's position here was obviously premeditated in order not to attract anyone's attention.
In this way, even if Su Xiao died here unexpectedly, no one would suspect Lu Kang.
It can be completely deduced that Su Xiao came to the bamboo forest at night and accidentally encountered a powerful wild fantasy beast, and that's when the accident happened.
...
at the same time.
In the small bamboo forest outside Ningxiang Town.
Chen Shi and Lin Xue were both trapped on the hard bamboo and could not move.
The bamboo in this bamboo forest is not ordinary bamboo. It is harder and darker in color than ordinary bamboo. It is called dark bamboo.
It is a special kind of bamboo that was born under the influence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Bamboo is not unique to Ningxiang Town. In fact, this dark-hard bamboo can be found in many cities and in the wild. It is a very common plant.
This kind of bamboo is impossible for humans to eat because it is too hard. Even some herbivorous fantasy beasts are not willing to eat this kind of thing.
At the same time, it also emits an aura that makes the phantom beasts very uncomfortable, which is why there are no phantom beasts in this bamboo forest.
In the past, dark hard bamboo was used in the manufacture of armor to make harder bamboo armor.
After all, in this world, armored phantom beasts are still too rare. Beast masters are likely to be attacked by phantom beasts in the wild, so wearing this kind of hard special armor can greatly improve their survivability.
Especially the mercenary groups who hunt phantom beasts all year round will basically wear this type of armor to reduce the casualties of the beast masters.
"Lu Kang! Why are you arresting me and Lin Xue, you old immortal?"
"What do you want to do!"
"If you dare to hurt us, the people from the Beast Control Corps will not let you go!"
Chen Shi and Lin Xue originally went out to buy food for Su Xiao, but on the way to buy food, their vision went dark at the same time and they fainted on the ground.
When they woke up, they found themselves trapped in the dark bamboo forest.
And standing in front of them was their old store manager Lu Kang.
The two of them never expected that Lu Kang would be so crazy and attack them secretly in order to force Su Xiao to come.
If Su Xiao came to this bamboo forest, there might really be no return.
In their eyes, Su Xiao was still just an ordinary person who didn't know how to control beasts.
"It's too noisy. I advise you two to save some energy."
"If you piss me off, don't blame me for being heartless."
Lu Kang glanced at Chen Shi and Lin Xue indifferently.
You can see a dark leopard squatting behind Lu Kang, and its aura is quite powerful.
This is Lu Kang's main fantasy beast, called the Black Shadow Leopard. It is very fast and is especially good at sneak attacks at night.
It was the sudden sneak attack of the black shadow cheetah that caused Chen Shi and Lin Xue to be knocked unconscious and taken away without any reaction.
As former subordinates of Lu Kang, Chen Shi and Lin Xue were also very familiar with the phantom beasts owned by Lu Kang.
"It's just because of our friendship that I didn't kill you."
"But if Su Xiao doesn't come after a while, it will be difficult to guarantee that I will keep my hand."
"You two hope now that Su Xiao will come to save you."
As soon as Lu Kang finished speaking, he followed the squatting black shadow cheetah and stood up, walking back and forth beside Chen Shi and Lin Xue.
As long as Lu Kang gives the order, these two people will be torn apart by the shadow cheetah immediately.
"Damn it! If you can, put me down and let's fight 1v1!"
"You know how to do such sneaky things, old bastard, you are so shameless!"
The phantom beasts of Chen Shi and Lin Xue were actually trained by Su Xiao and became very powerful.
But the current problem is that the two of them were attacked by a sneak attack and their hands and feet were restrained, making them completely unable to summon the phantom beast.
In fact, when the beast master is in danger, the more loyal phantom beasts in the beast master space can sense it. At this time, the phantom beasts can come out directly from the beast master space without the beast master's summons.
But the problem now is that Lu Kang hasn't hurt them yet, he just tied them tightly, and it's not a life-threatening moment yet.
And even if the two of them summoned the phantom beast now, to be honest, it would be difficult to defeat the Black Shadow Cheetah with elite tenth level strength.
Not to mention, the old man Lu Kang also owns two other elite tenth-level fantasy beasts.
"Bah, with your level, are you worthy of challenging me in a duel?"
"It's just ridiculous."
Lu Kang looked at Chen Shi with disdain, "Chen Shi, Chen Shi, actually the Black Fist Beast you own is indeed very rare. As long as you are willing to give the Black Fist Beast to me, then I may let you live."
oh."
"Get out! Even if I die, I won't give you the Black Fist Beast!"
"Old bastard, I can tell you that Chen Badao has a very good relationship with Store Manager Su. The people from the Badao mercenary group will definitely come to deal with you later!"
Chen Shi shouted angrily at Lu Kang.
"The Tyrant Sword Mercenary Group?"
"Ouch, it really scares me, but it's a pity that the people from the Ba Dao Mercenary Group are of no use even if they come!"
As soon as Lu Kang finished speaking, the black shadow cheetah beside him suddenly let out a low roar and looked warily in a direction outside the bamboo forest.
Not long after, you could see Su Xiao slowly walking in from outside the bamboo forest. Beside Su Xiao, there were also members of the Ba Dao mercenary group headed by Chen Ba Dao.
"It came so quickly."
After seeing Su Xiao coming, Lu Kang immediately ignored Chen Shi. Lin Xue and the other two turned to look at Su Xiao, "You brat, you are quite brave, you actually came.
"
"But do you think it will be useful if you bring the people from the Ba Dao mercenary group together?"
After Lu Kang finished speaking, he clapped his hands calmly, and a large group of people walked out from the other direction. It was the Tiger Hunting Mercenary Group led by Liu Zhen.
