"I do not know either."
Pang Jian shook his head, looking confused.
He only remembered that the "Branded Eye" suddenly changed. When he was searching the crowd for the person who instilled the message, the bronze medal his father left him suddenly became hot.
That's all.
Naturally, he would not tell anyone present his secret, so he could only respond with ignorance.
"I don't know? The Brand Eye of Blood Moon will not choose a guy like you for no reason?" Shangguan Qin refused to give up.
"Okay!" Zhou Qingchen coughed lightly, interrupted Shangguanqin's shouting, and said solemnly: "Pang Jian, did you see any other scenes next?"
"Something else?"
Pang Jian thought seriously and said: "The vines killed the practitioners of Blood Moon, quickly ate away at their flesh and blood, and then shrank back into the cracks in the ground. Just like now, the vines have eaten all the Shangguan family members, so it should be Retracted underground."
Everyone's expressions became unsightly.
"Is there anything else?" Zhou Qingchen asked with a heavy heart.
"After that, what I saw again was that you were the first to rush here." Pang Jian replied.
As soon as these words came out, it meant that the loop was completely closed. The scenes that Pang Jian saw from the "Eye of Brand" later were all experienced by Zhou Qingchen himself.
Young Master Zhou pondered, recalling how Pang Jian was miraculously unaffected when the screams of demonic sounds erupted in the pile of rocks, and the special favor of the "Eye of Brand".
He guessed that there must be something mysterious about Pang Jian that he couldn't see clearly, otherwise it couldn't be explained reasonably.
"It should be safe over there now."
While everyone was thinking, Pang Jian spoke again and said to Shangguan Qin: "If you go back now, you should be able to safely collect the belongings of the deceased in your Shangguan family."
Shangguan Qin's originally charming face was filled with panic and helplessness. Before she could get over her panic, she said coldly: "I won't believe a word you say!"
She was deeply prejudiced against Pang Jian, and she wanted to find ways to capture Pang Jian and pry open the secrets in Pang Jian's heart.
Pang Jian seemed unable to see her prejudice and said, "I would like to go back and get back for you the things left behind by your Shangguan servants."
The hatred in Shangguan Qin's eyes did not diminish at all, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you so kind?"
"You can go with me." Pang Jian suggested.
Shangguan Qin hesitated, with a hesitant look in his eyes, and quickly said coldly: "I don't believe you."
"What about you? If you don't believe it, you can look back with me." Pang Jian looked at everyone.
Zhou Qingchen was surprised. Just when he was about to say that he wanted to turn back with Pang Jian, he suddenly noticed Ning Yao's opening and fell silent.
"I'll accompany you."
Surprisingly, Ning Yao, who had been silent until now, actually took the initiative to speak.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Ning Yao explained calmly: "It's not that I don't believe Pang Jian, I just think there is danger over there, so it would be more appropriate for me to accompany him."
"Xiaoyao, the situation there is still unclear. It's not a good idea for you to go back now, right?" Ning Yuanshan looked worried.
"It's okay. Pang Jian dares to go there, so what do I have to be afraid of?"
Ning Yao drove her war horse very close to Pang Jian, then patted her horse's forehead and whispered a few words in the horse's ear.
Immediately, she straightened her slightly bulging breasts and sat up straight, and suddenly said: "You and I are on the same horse."
Regardless of whether Pang Jian agreed or not, she suddenly jumped up, landed gracefully behind Pang Jian, and rode the same horse with him.
Between her and Pang Jian, there was a bamboo basket carried by Pang Jian, which separated the two of them so that they would not be too close to each other.
Her hands naturally rested on Pang Jian's waist, urging: "Let's go."
Pang Jian's body and the expression on his face became obviously stiff.
Because when Ning Yao's hands fell to his waist, Ning Yao's spiritual power secretly surged in her palms, indicating that this girl had no good intentions at all.
The two of them were sitting on the same horse. Instead of enjoying it, Pang Jian felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Ning Yao shouted impatiently.
The spiritual power in her white jade hands became more and more surging and active, as if a dormant poisonous snake was about to swim out.
Pang Jian felt a chill in his heart, and without saying a word, he picked up the reins and rode his horse towards Tianfeng's withered bones.
"Miss Ning, I would like to remind you that Pang Jian is a guide who is familiar with the Cenji Mountains, and I like him very much. I hope you will take good care of him." Zhou Qingchen shouted, "If you can't take good care of him, Uncle Yuanshan I’m afraid we can’t take care of you here either.”
Ningyuan Mountain suddenly changed color.
He never expected that Zhou Qingchen would threaten Pang Jian's life at this time to prevent Ning Yao from killing Pang Jian.
"He is the guide hired by my Ning family. I know his importance. I don't mind reminding you, Master Zhou." Ning Yao snorted coldly.
Zhou Qingchen smiled and said, "That's good."
"Deng Deng!"
Amidst the intensive sound of horse hooves, Pang Jian, riding a maroon war horse, gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Nephew Zhou Xian, Pang Jian is just a hunter in the mountains. Are you going to go to war for him?"
After Ning Yao and Pang Jian left, Ning Yuanshan grimaced and said in embarrassment: "Isn't it a bit of a fuss to threaten Xiao Yao with me?"
The others also found it puzzling and couldn't help but listen attentively, wanting to know Zhou Qingchen's answer.
Even Han Duping and the servants of the Zhou family felt incredible because of Zhou Qingchen's special care for Pang Jian.
"It's the Orion you call, who just saved all of our lives!" Zhou Qingchen stopped being polite and said with a stern expression: "Repaying kindness with kindness is such a simple truth. Do you still need me, a junior, to teach you? If Without Pang Jian's timely reminder, our Zhou family, as well as you and Ning Yao, really thought we could leave alive?"
Ning Yuanshan was shocked and speechless. After asking himself, he found that it was indeed his fault.
Just because they are used to being superior and never take people with unequal status in their eyes, they take everything for granted.
For example, Liu Qi and the few people who followed them and died on the pile of rocks.
In his opinion, Pang Jian was not even as important as Liu Qi, so he couldn't accept Zhou Qingchen threatening his niece with him.
"What really works is not the little hunter, but our Blood Moon's branded eye!" Shangguan Qin screamed angrily.
"Without him, the Eye of Brand will choose me. After I get the key information, I will also remind everyone to evacuate quickly. Moreover, if I am the one who gets the information, Romon will not die, and neither will the other members of my Shangguan family. will die!"
In her mind, because Pang Jian was recognized by the "Branded Eye", she placed all the blame on Pang Jian.
"Senior Shangguan."
Zhou Qingchen's face was slightly cold, and he stopped calling her "Aunt Qin" and scolded her rudely: "Why do you think that the Eye of Brand should choose you? Although you have practiced the Blood Wheel Gong of Blood Moon, but You have not passed the blood moon test, so you are not considered a blood moon practitioner at all!"
"You can practice Blood Wheel Gong only because your elders from the Shangguan family privately gave you this secret."
Zhou Qingchen, who was riding a dark war horse with a tall body, snorted and sneered again: "I don't even think that the world should revolve around me, why do you think you will be favored by the Eye of Brand? "
"What else are you saying about us, Blood Moon? Senior Shangguan, when will you be able to be like me and be included in the genealogy book of Blood Moon in the Upper Realm, and then you will be qualified to speak about us!"
Shangguan Qin's face turned red and blue from his anger.
She suddenly realized that although the young master of the Zhou family in front of her was always polite and always addressed her as "Aunt Qin", there was still a significant gap between the Shangguan family and the Zhou family behind her.
In addition, she was not recognized by Blood Moon and was not recognized as a member of Blood Moon. Indeed, she could not refer to Blood Moon as "us".
Zhou Qingchen is indeed one of the top geniuses in the Fourth Realm. He was recruited by Hongshan not long after he was born, and Zhou Qingchen's name was also entered into Hongshan's genealogy book early.
Her Shangguan family couldn't compare to the Zhou family, she couldn't compare to Zhou Qingchen, and the power she had in front of her couldn't compare either.
So, she could only suppress her anger and remained helplessly silent.
…
the other side.
Pang Jian, who was stiff all over, always felt that Ning Yao's hands on his waist would shatter his internal organs as long as he gushed out spiritual power out of control.
Along the way, Pang Jian was sweating slightly on his forehead and was always in a state of tension.
"Pang Jian, you must remember that what you are taking is my Ning family's money, not his Zhou Qingchen's."
When he was far away from everyone's sight, Pang Jian heard Ning Yao snorting in his ear from behind.
"When danger suddenly emerges, you should tell me immediately and let us leave with you! You took my Ning family's money and rode my Ning family's war horse, and you actually alerted Zhou Qingchen first!"
Ning Yaoyu pinched the flesh on both sides of Pang Jian's waist and abdomen with a little force, making Pang Jian take a breath.
Pang Jian grimaced in pain, fearing that Ning Yao's fingers would spit out spiritual power and he would die suddenly the next moment.
Fortunately, Ning Yao just pinched him hard. Although he was in unbearable pain, he knew that Ning Yao wanted to teach him a lesson this time and did not really want his life.
"The Gray Ape is my friend. After I made it clear, it was Zhou Qingchen who tried his best to keep it for me. You and your uncle didn't even say a word of cheating." Pang Jian said solemnly.
"It's your friend, not mine, so what does it have to do with me?" Ning Yao sneered.
Pang Jian said no more.
Soon, the war horse returned to the brutal scene.
The strong and pungent smell of blood filled the space in front of them. After Pang Jian stopped, he immediately saw the tallest skeleton.
The bloody skeleton belonged to Romon, with all his organs, skin and flesh missing. The bones were stained with blood, and his eyeballs were taken away by vines. The empty eye sockets were filled with despair.
The vines only ate away flesh and blood. All the utensils used by Luo Meng and the Shangguan family, and the gold and silver objects worn on their bodies were not taken away, and they were scattered next to the bones.
Ning Yao covered her nose, pushed Pang Jian, and said disgustedly: "Go and collect Shangguan Qin's relics."
She has a clean nature and finds things stained with blood too disgusting, so she doesn't want to do it herself as long as Pang Jian is around.
"good."
Pang Jian, who had long been awakened, got off his horse, ignored the blood stains on the utensils, collected them and tied them with hemp ropes.
Ning Yao never dismounted, but stared at him while looking at the withered bones and Wuding Ferry.
She always felt that Pang Jian must have his own plans when he returned, and he definitely wasn't doing things for Shangguan Qin out of good intentions.
"I plan to take a look inside the Wuding Ferry." Pang Jian suddenly said.
Ning Yao thought about it and secretly thought that it was indeed the case. She pretended to be surprised and asked: "Wuding Ferry? All the people who went to explore before have died. Are you sure you want to go?"
Pang Jian nodded: "Those people will die because the Brand Eye needs blood. This is a bloody sacrifice. Now that the Brand Eye has exploded, of course the cabin is safe."
After saying this, he made a gesture to go over.
"I'll go see it!"
Ning Yao suddenly dismounted, flew over the narrow gaps in the earth, and quickly headed towards Blood Moon's "Uncertain Ferry".
She shouted in an unquestionable tone: "You stay here. If there is any change outside, you must notify me immediately!"
"Okay." Pang Jian frowned.
Ning Yao turned around and saw Pang Jian's dejected expression. She became more and more convinced that there was a rare treasure left by Blood Moon inside the "Wuding Ferry", and that Pang Jian had learned about it through the "Eye of Brand", so she insisted on coming back.
"He is not a big man, but he has a lot of thoughts."
Ning Yao secretly murmured, feeling that this young man who didn't talk much might have been hanging out in the Cenji Mountains for a long time, fighting wits and courage with the older hunters, and he didn't look simple at all.
