The Nether Forest is the only way to the land abandoned by the gods. There are all kinds of dangers lurking in it - monsters, poisonous insects, miasma, mutated vegetation... The most terrifying thing among them is the large and small monsters scattered in the forest. Small "space cracks" are invisible and difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. Once encountered, there will be no bones left.
Only old hunters who are familiar with the forest know how to avoid these invisible and deadly traps.
The Double Wolf Hunting Group is one of the top hunting groups in Xiliao City. It is staffed by the spell master Jing Feng and the strongest warrior Chi Yang. It can easily avoid the nests of large beasts and dangerous areas infested by poisonous insects. Occasionally, there are blind eyes. Small things jumped out to block the road, but were quickly dismissed by the hunters.
The past few days went very smoothly.
Miss Gao did not feel any dangerous atmosphere. She complained about the humidity, the quilt was not comfortable enough, the food was unpalatable, and the blades of grass scratched her delicate skin. She would occasionally take action when she came to Yaxing. hunt.
Her archery accuracy could only be considered average, but every time she hit a target, she would win a mountain of applause from her servants. Later, the hunters also joined in the applause and collected a large amount of reward money, making the atmosphere even more lively.
Jiang Chen was silently observing the demeanor and behavior of these hunters.
He always suspected that the man in black last night was a spy hiding among the hunters.
After a few days of observation, he gradually became familiar with the main members of the Double Wolf Hunting Group——
Grand leader Jing Feng is a fifth-level Qi practitioner in the "Elixir Formation" realm. He is good at spells and has a variety of methods. He is a powerful character, but his attitude towards Jiang Chen is relatively cold, and Jiang Chen doesn't like to talk to him.
The leader of the second regiment, Chi Yang, is a powerful blood-crazed warrior and the absolute main force of the hunting group. He has a sixth-level "blood-moving" body. After stimulating his boiling blood, he can even approach the seventh-level "Xuan Gang". Although Jiang Chen was familiar with him, he had never seen him really attack with all his strength.
Du Qibo, the wife of the grand leader and the doctor in the hunting group, has an easy-going and gentle temperament and treats Jiang Chen fairly warmly.
"Nightmare Hunter" Duan Fei, a fourth-level "Bone Tempering" realm swordsman, a loyal follower of the Grand Commander, a scheming person who likes to point fingers at Jiang Chen in a condescending tone.
"Two Wolf Hunter" Gao An, a third-level "Yijin" level hunter, raised two ferocious wolves and was one of the veterans of the hunting group. It is said that the name of the Two Wolf Hunting Group was derived from his two wolves. On weekdays, he was seen muttering alone with the two wolves, and rarely communicated with other people.
"Wind Chasing Hunter" He Wen is a third-level "Yi Jin" archer with superb archery skills, known as a hundred steps to penetrate the Yang.
"Kangsing Hunter" Su Hua, a third-level swordsman of the "Yi Jin" level, is said to be a branch of the Su family among the seven great families. He has learned one and two moves from the Su family's secret skill "Sacrifice to the Dragon King Fist" Shiki likes to yell when fighting. Although his lethality is not great, his momentum is amazing.
"Dragon Spear Hunter" Shi Dinghai, a third-level "Yi Jin" realm spearman, wields a eight-foot-long spear. He is old-fashioned and silent, aging prematurely. He seems to have the temperament of a hermit master.
Judging from the people's body shapes and walking postures, Jiang Chen initially suspected that the person most similar to the man in black last night was "Nightmare Hunter" Duan Fei. Only those with skills at the fourth-level "Bone Tempering" realm can calmly leave after putting the blame on someone.
Jiang Chen planned to observe for a few more days, collect more evidence, and then tell Chi Yang about this matter.
After five or six days of trekking, the group gradually reached the depths of the forest. There were endless dangers hidden here. Even if they were led by experienced hunters, they could not feel as relaxed as they had in the previous few days.
After being attacked by a wave of man-eating ants, Miss Gao lost two male servants and a maid. She witnessed the horror of the forest with her own eyes and was greatly shocked. Since then, she has restrained herself a lot and no longer complains about food. It tastes bad and the stones hurt my feet.
Encountering more and more attacks by wild beasts, everyone is tense and always on guard against unknown dangers.
As night fell again one day, Jiang Chen set up a tent and got in early.
Today, he was clearing the way on the right side of the team and encountered four attacks. The spirit fire fox, the man-eating snake, the magic dodder, and the shadowless insect were all difficult to deal with. They made him exhausted physically and mentally, and he just wanted to fall asleep.
But some people refused to let him do so.
"Dong dong dong!" The tent was lightly tapped.
Jiang Chen woke up with a start, grabbed the dagger beside his pillow and stuffed it into his sleeve.
"Who's out there?"
"I am Duan Fei." The person outside answered.
"It's so late, why do you want to see me?" Jiang Chen was confused. Could it be that Duan Fei saw that I was suspicious of him, so he wanted to silence me in private?
"Miss Gao is looking for you, come with me!" Duan Fei said in a commanding tone, "Remember to wash your face and don't be rude in front of Miss Gao!"
Jiang Chen became even more vigilant - he has been responsible for the perimeter security these days and has basically never met Miss Gao. Why is Miss Gao looking for me? Could it be that this evil boy complained first and slapped him down in front of Miss Gao...
"Hurry up, don't keep Miss Gao waiting!" Duan Fei urged.
"coming."
Jiang Chen wiped his face with a water bag and followed Duan Fei slowly.
At this time, most of the people had fallen asleep, and only a few followers were on guard. In the dead of night, the sound of insects was silent, and the gloomy atmosphere deepened the inexplicable thoughts in Jiang Chen's heart.
The figure from the back of the lewd thief a few nights ago really looked a lot like Duan Fei...
Does he want to repeat his old tricks and frame me again?
Duan Fei's footsteps were very light, and when he came outside Miss Gao's tent, he deliberately stepped a little harder.
"Quick, come in!" Miss Gao opened the door curtain, looking impatient.
Jiang Chen walked in and found that Miss Gao's tent was indeed different from his little hunter's. It was elegant, comfortable, and was heated with spirit stones. It was so warm that it was like a paradise.
There were two maids standing beside the tent. Although their eyes were unfriendly, they didn't have any killing intent.
It seems that it is not a frame-up, nor is it the revelation of the past few days...
When Jiang Chen was observing the tent, Miss Gao urged: "Quick, take it out and take a look!"
"What?" Jiang Chen was stunned.
"Baby! Stop dawdling, hurry up!"
"Ah? What treasure?" After being influenced by the Peach Blossom Assassin, Jiang Chen almost lost his mind.
"That jade pendant of yours! Why are you stingy? Show it to me!"
Jiang Chen's heart sank. How did Miss Gao know about her jade pendant? In the past few days, he had listened to Chiyang's reminder and had already put away the jade pendant!
He glanced at Duan Fei's face.
Duan Fei said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Jiang, don't be reluctant. This is a great thing. Miss Gao will never let you suffer."
"I don't understand what you mean, and I don't have any jade pendant." Jiang Chen shook his head and decided not to admit it.
"Boy, who are you fooling!" Duan Fei's voice suddenly became harsh, "Miss Gao wants to see your jade pendant. It's to give you face, don't be shameless!"
Jiang Chen looked confused: "I don't have any jade pendant at all. Have you made a mistake?"
Miss Gao frowned her delicate eyebrows and glanced at Duan Fei: "Have you figured it out yet?"
"There is absolutely no mistake!" Duan Fei said anxiously, "There was a huge uproar that day. The three major thieves in Xiliao were all dispatched. They even alerted Wu Lian and almost started a fight with Chi Yang!"
