"After tracking the old seventh man away at night three days ago, this guy, as expected, took me all the way to the residence of the two previous companions. Afterwards, the three of them discussed it and finally decided to go together Sneak into the deep mountains to find the boss of their group. But I didn’t expect that when I was following a few people, I would be noticed by that hateful guy in advance." Li Ming became more and more angry when he mentioned this matter again, obviously because of this I blame myself for my momentary negligence.
"This is indeed due to the fact that the eldest among them has improved his cultivation. Although this person has not steadily broken through to the bone forging realm as the old seventh said before, he is basically a master who has stepped into this realm with one foot. My soul power perception has also nearly doubled compared to before. But what really made this group of desperadoes notice my presence was that they had taken precautions early and actually arranged some simple arrangements near the camp. I accidentally triggered one of the magic circles without checking, and it happened to fall into the boss's design."
"If that's the case, then Lao Qi's success in bringing me to a group of people can be regarded as completing the task. Even if I fight with this group of people openly, I'm basically guaranteed to win. But I can't imagine that these guys have been prepared, especially The boss didn't panic at all when he noticed that I was following me on the first day of the new year. Instead, he calmly pretended to be unaware and waited until the master let down his guard and exposed his flaws before taking action." Li Ming continued.
"And what I didn't expect the most was that these bastards not only established their base in the mountains close to the beast's lair, but they also got a kind of machine that can be driven by the corpse of a spirit beast and a magic core from nowhere. The powerful magic circle, before I had a chance to take action, the boss activated the magic circle first and trapped me inside."
"I looked at the idea of relying on the souls of spiritual beasts or monks to activate the magic circle. It shows that a few people have killed at least hundreds or thousands of innocent lives nearby, including many human bones. And because I was worried about alarming some ferocious beasts not far away, I didn't dare to use all my strength to make too much noise. When my master broke through the formation and came out, several people had already fled under my nose. I didn't think about it after that. On the way back, I accidentally attracted the attention of a Zhentian Jiao nearby, and after fighting with this beast, I ended up in such a mess on the way home."
Tian Jihong couldn't help but tense up after hearing his master's narration, and the importance he attached to that group of desperadoes increased to a higher level. Although the opponent does not have an advantage in terms of cultivation, such a group of guys who are usually licking blood can often suppress their opponents in terms of mentality and experience in actual combat, and exert a combat power that far exceeds their actual cultivation. Moreover, he also knows how to use all circumstances that are favorable to him to achieve the effect of taking advantage of the situation. It is no wonder that a veteran like Master Li will fall into the hands of a few people.
"Master mentioned that those few people found a magic circle that was driven by the spirit of spiritual beasts or monks. It sounded inexplicably similar to the method used by Gui Qianying before. I wonder if it was found near the destroyed Ten Thousand Bones Gate. Inheritance." Tianjihong thought to himself.
"It turns out that Master and his party also encountered such changes. Speaking of which, have you ever found your package?" Tian Jihong recalled the reason for Li Ming's trip and asked.
"Don't mention it, this is the thing that makes me most aggrieved!" Li Ming's face became increasingly ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "When I followed a few people to the camp on the first day of the new year, I saw the boss carrying my package It was placed in a very conspicuous place next to me. The reason why I didn't attack a few people immediately was because I hesitated for a moment whether I should grab the package first and then deal with the group of people, which led to the other party taking the lead."
"What is in this package of yours that is so important? Why didn't he take it out and use it for himself after being snatched away by the boss for so long?" Tian Jihong was also very interested in the package that his master had mentioned many times and couldn't help but wonder. asked curiously.
"Hey, I'm not afraid of making you laugh. What's stored here are just some relics left by my master when I was young. Most of them are just worthless things, but to me they are priceless treasures." Li Ming said, "However, there are indeed two rare items among them. The bandit boss must be very jealous of them, but there are restrictions on them that I have placed in advance. With the cultivation level of those bandits, there are no It will be impossible to break it open in ten or eight years." Regarding the possibility that the things he left behind would be occupied by the other party, Li Ming would definitely not arise.
"Master, what are you going to do after that?"
"What else can you do? Do you think the reason why I stayed in this village for such a long time, apart from healing my wounds, is not just for this package? I value this thing as much as my wealth and life, and I will never allow it to fall into It's in the hands of a few little thieves!" To Tian Jihong's surprise, Li Ming paid much more attention to this package than the former imagined.
"It took a lot of effort to get the clues of those people. I will not give up easily. If I hadn't thought about not coming back for several days to report to you that I was safe, maybe after I solved the Zhentian Jian, I would have just given up." I followed the traces of those guys into the mountains. I will arrange the follow-up training tasks for you in the past few days, but I probably won’t stay in the village for too long during the day. I will probably go to the deep mountains to search. The whereabouts of those people." Li Ming said.
"By the way, I remembered this. Did master know what happened in the village when he came back?" Tian Jihong suddenly remembered that he had not informed Li Ming about the sea beast attack, and said quickly.
"I don't know. After I came out of the mountain, I went straight to your house and didn't even pass by the village. What happened?"
Tianjihong quickly told Li Ming the whole story in detail. Unfortunately, he had not stayed in the village for a long time in the past few days. He did not know the details. Sometimes Tianjifei who was standing by him would add something. The dilemma faced in the work was fully expressed.
"...So, although I have made some breakthroughs in my practice now, I still don't know the true strength of that beast and I don't know if I can deal with it. So for the sake of my disciple, I would like to ask the master to take action to solve this scourge. When the time comes, the people in the village will definitely pay in full."
Li Ming's expression didn't change much after hearing this, and he didn't seem to take the matter too seriously. Tianjihong also realized from his calm expression that even with his master's strength, he probably didn't pay attention to Qian Biao, who had reached the late stage of bone forging realm, and he had no taboo against provoking such a strong person.
"Let's not talk about remuneration. It would be too harsh to say this based on the friendship between you and me as master and disciple. Besides, it is really not a troublesome thing for me to take action for my master. In my opinion, this sea beast's cultivation level must not be very high, otherwise Your village has been wiped out a long time ago." Li Ming's tone remained calm, "But I think this sea beast is a suitable training for you. According to my estimation, this beast's realm should not exceed the [Yi Jin Realm] At this level, it is a perfect target for you to practice with now. What do you think?"
Tianjihong felt reassured after hearing his master speak. He had never been afraid of this beast. He was only a little afraid because he didn't know the other person's true state. At this time, the master encouraged him to take action, which immediately gave Tianjihong the confidence. The only thing left was the last question that he was more worried about:
"Don't worry, master. With your words, I guarantee that I will fulfill my mission. I'm just worried that if Gan Biao is up to something secretly...?"
"Haha, my master will naturally take action to solve the problem. You don't have to worry about this." Li Ming said easily with a somewhat elusive smile on his face.
Tianjihong suddenly beamed. He and his master had a clear understanding of each other. What he wanted for a long time was the answer from his master. With such a guarantee, he felt more at ease than ever before.
"My teacher is not worried about your lack of strength. Judging from your extraordinary cultivation talent and previous experience in the mountains, it should not be a problem to deal with a spiritual beast that is not in the Yijin realm." Li Ming continued, "But Don’t underestimate the enemy. I heard you say that the beast will specifically choose when the villagers relax their vigilance to launch an attack, which shows that it is quite intelligent. There may be other reasons behind it, so don’t take it lightly."
"As for what you said tomorrow about sending people from the village to Dongsheng Town, you can handle it by yourself tomorrow morning. I won't come forward personally, but if that gangster dares to be tough, you can take out this sign. Just show it to him." After saying that, Li Ming took out a shining golden token from his arms and handed it to Tianjihong. The latter took a closer look at the big word "gold" written on it.
"This is the token of the mercenary union. Master once told you that I have a temporary position as a gold medal mercenary of the mercenary union, but I don't usually rely on the union to take jobs to make a living. With this sign in hand, That Gan Biao won't dare to touch you easily." Li Ming said slowly.
Tianjihong nodded obediently. It was almost midnight after the two of them had arranged the general affairs. Taking advantage of the last two or three hours before the sun rose in summer, Tianjihong began to operate the health-preserving technique under the guidance of his master. , further dissolving the remaining medicinal power of Dragon Bone Pill in the body. According to Li Ming, Dragon Bone Pill, a cultivation elixir that can make him jealous, is really valuable when used on Tianjihong, who is not at the Kaiyuan realm. The latter still has not developed and developed all its medicinal power until now. After being absorbed into the body, there are still medicinal residues deposited in dark places in the meridians.
With the help of Li Ming, after two hours of practice, Tianjihong finally succeeded in exerting all the medicinal properties of Dragon Bone Pill. In addition to his own aura becoming more and more condensed, the meridians in his body felt a little congested. At this time, After dissolving the dregs of the medicine, I felt more comfortable than ever before. The powerful spiritual power he had newly acquired made Tianjihong glow with unparalleled vitality. At this time, he was a hundred times energetic and could vaguely feel that the meridians in his body were about to move. The spiritual power frenzy that the original skills were running down was heading towards The five undeveloped main martial arteries between the torso are constantly beating.
