There is never love or hate without reason in the world.
Compared with the first time, Xu Jiehu's visit this time actually aroused Chen Zheng's suspicion even more.
He really didn't believe that in a cult like the Tianmu Sect, strangers could be so warm-hearted.
More importantly, after returning from Qi Gang, he had realized that the reason why he was broken into yesterday was that the thief probably had another purpose.
That is the Great Treasure Eye Pill that Mrs. Wumu rewarded!
The Great Treasure Pill is a strategic material within the sect and is comparable to a top-quality pill.
These elixirs are extremely valuable. One pill can be worth several years of hard work. It is impossible for believers who have not made great achievements to receive rewards.
As for the crime of possessing the jade, as a newly promoted Tianmu practitioner, he was promoted to a high-level cult member before he could reach the realm of visceral training. The fact that he obtained the treasure eye elixir seemed to have spread, which inevitably attracted secret coveting.
Looking back now, Xu Jiehu approached him two or three times and seemed to have made subtle insinuations during the process. It was hard to tell what the other party had in mind.
Even forgetting the bad local speculation, maybe this person was the one who broke into the empty door last night!
"You bastard, do you think I'm easy to bully?"
Chen Zheng turned around with a cold face, went back to the house, and continued to practice.
He was not sure whether the person who broke into the empty door was Xu Jiehu, but it did not prevent him from being more vigilant and defensive about this person.
He inquired and found out that although Xu Jiehu was a senior member of the cult, his level was still in Zang training, which was only one level higher than him.
And now that he is not only a master of skin training, but also has an imperial-sealed "Shura Jue Ming Sword" at his side, he is not necessarily afraid of the other party.
That's the sentence.
If you really want something, just speak with the knife in your hand!
The day passed in the blink of an eye.
Early the next morning.
After getting up, washing up, and having a hearty meal in the canteen, Chen Zheng, Wu San, Daming, and Zhao Wu gathered at the foot of the mountain again and set off into the mountain fully armed.
The additional tasks are not easy to complete, and the other three people were quite suffocated when they returned almost empty-handed last time, so this third time they entered the mountain seemed full of motivation.
Familiar with each other once and twice, everyone in the vast mountains and forests was familiar with the roads. In just over an hour, they climbed over two mountains in succession and entered the area where the prey was.
This time, their route was different from last time. They walked all morning and searched. Although there was no large prey, the small medicine pocket on Chen Zheng's waist was almost full of Chinese herbal medicine.
No one wanted to return empty-handed on this trip. After a short lunch break, they continued to search in the mountains and forests.
Until another hour passed, and another mile deep into the vast forest.
swish swish——
There was a faint noise in the dense forest ahead.
It seemed to be the sound of more than one large animal running quickly in the forest and bushes, accompanied by a low roar.
"There is more than one prey!"
Hearing this voice, the experienced Chen Zheng's eyes lit up. After listening carefully for a while, he immediately waved his hand, got up and followed the voice and quickly moved forward:
"In front, southeast!"
Zhao Wu, Wu San, He Daming and the other three people suddenly seemed like ferocious beasts that had smelled the scent of prey, and they followed closely with excitement.
Chen Zheng took the lead and moved like a cheetah in the mountains, quickly leading the three of them through large areas of shrubs and dense forests.
It only took a moment to reach the source of the sound.
"Roar"
A dull roar came, and everyone hid behind the trees. Suddenly they saw that in the forest about thirty steps ahead, there were five ferocious wild wolves covered in black and gray, and they actually killed a half-sized wolf.
Big, black bears were surrounded.
Although the surrounded black bear does not seem to be fully mature, its roars reveal its ferocity and its constant collision and breakout;
Although the five wild wolves were very different in physique and did not dare to bite and fight with them directly, they surrounded them like experienced hunters, constantly provoking and testing them, consuming the black bear's physical strength.
Not far away, Chen Zheng and others saw this scene, but their faces were filled with joy, and they had only one thought in their minds:
When wolves and bears fight, the hunter wins!
"The bear can't run away, Zhao Wu, prepare to shoot the wolf with me, Wu San and He Daming, you two go outflank, try not to let anyone go!"
With almost no communication required, Chen Zheng quickly issued the order.
After all, he was a well-trained hand, and he could deal with a few wild wolves with ease. Wu San and He Daming spread out to outflank them without saying a word.
At this moment, the fight between wolves and bears became more intense. Chen Zheng made a silent gesture, and then he and Zhao Wu drew their bows and set arrows together.
Then, boo hoo!!
The sound of arrows piercing the air sounded at the same time, and before the sound could completely spread, the two attacking wolves were suddenly nailed by two arrows between their heads, chest and abdomen!
Chen Zheng also took the time to practice some shooting skills these days. Although his level was average, he still hit the same target as Zhao Wu!
"Ouch!"
The one he shot fell down, but it didn't die immediately. Instead, it struggled frantically to stand up.
The remaining three wild wolves were also frightened when they saw this, and they no longer cared about hunting the black bear, and immediately fled in all directions.
But at this time, not only were Wu San and He Daming outflanking, they flew out and attacked with swords. Zhao Wu on the other side fired an arrow through the air and knocked down another head.
Clang!
At this time, Chen Zheng had also abandoned his bow. The silhouette of the figure and the light of the sword flew past, and he struck like an arrow from the string towards the blind black man who was about to run away when the situation was bad.
Now his sword skills are not far from perfect. He saw the fierce sword flash in the air, and the distance of several feet between the two was almost reached in the blink of an eye, and then in an instant, it penetrated the black bear's vest with the force of thunder.
"Roar!"
The black bear roared in pain and turned around, biting and snapping wildly.
However, Chen Zheng's long sword twisted and drawn, and his figure flew back in an instant, dodging easily.
No matter how tenacious a beast is, it can't survive even if its heart is crushed, so this black bear fought back without struggling twice before falling to the ground motionless.
Chen Zheng looked back behind him and saw that the battle between Wu San, Zhao Wu and others had also ended. There were four wolf corpses lying at his feet, and one of them seemed to have escaped.
Zhao Wu felt ashamed and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Zheng, we let one of you go."
Four wolves and one bear, such a harvest can be said to be an explosion of luck. Chen Zheng was in a happy mood, put away the knife and laughed:
"It doesn't matter, that end is fine!"
Wu San happily picked up one of the heads in one hand and stepped forward as if offering a treasure:
"Brother Zheng, this beast weighs at least one hundred catties. Even though the black blind one looks underage, it still weighs two to three hundred catties. We made a lot of money this time!"
