Jiang Chen looked carefully and saw that the shadow was tall and thin, with sharp eyes staring directly at him.
"Who?" Jiang Chen asked.
The shadow remained silent and turned a blind eye to the dagger in Jiang Chen's hand.
The black figure swayed slightly in the wind behind the tree, as if it would disappear in the next moment.
Jiang Chen slowly took a step forward, and the air around him suddenly became a little heavier.
He bowed down, a hazy moon-white light glowed on his palms, and his magical power was ready to be unleashed.
At this time, Lin Xi's elegant and melodious voice sounded from the cave behind: "Don't get me wrong, that's Uncle Tu! One of our own!"
"Uncle Tu?" Jiang Chen's eyes never left the black human film.
His tentative murderous intent was like a stone in the ocean, without causing any waves, and the other party never leaked the slightest breath, like a deep void.
Jiang Chen realized that this person's cultivation realm was beyond his imagination, and he was probably a strong person in the "upper three realms".
"Well, Uncle Tu...he is a member of my family."
Lin Xi's answer made Jiang Chen even more confused. A trace of gloom flashed across his eyes, and he said: "This old gentleman's strength is unfathomable. Miss Lin, with such a master by your side, little monsters like the poisonous bee swarm Beasts shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
"Uncle Tu came here to protect me. Due to the restrictions of the bet, Uncle Tu cannot take action or speak unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise..." Lin Xi's voice became softer, "My mission will be announced fail."
"So...that's it." Jiang Chen nodded suddenly, but another kind of indignation rose uncontrollably from the bottom of his heart, making his face seem to be covered with a layer of frost.
After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and said, "I understand, to Miss Lin, those dead hunters don't matter. They are just tools to cover your escape. No matter how many people die, as long as Uncle Tu doesn't take action, everything will be over." It doesn’t count as breaking the bet, you can start over from the beginning. Is that what you mean?”
"No, it's not like that..." Lin Xi's voice trembled slightly, as if her throat was blocked and she couldn't speak.
"So cunning!" Miss Gao's voice came from inside the cave, "So you have always brought that black dog with you, no wonder you are so confident! You are truly a little bitch, so despicable and shameless!"
"Unless I encounter danger that I cannot resist, Uncle Tu will not take action. This does not violate our agreement."
Miss Gao laughed and said, "I have already thought of a way out before I even set off. When it comes to fearing death, even if I try to flatter you, I can't keep up with you!"
"How can you be stronger than me? Didn't Hero Chiyang get killed by you..."
Jiang Chen frowned and interrupted their argument: "Stop arguing! Someone is coming!"
As his body reaches the third level of "Yi Jin" perfection, Jiang Chen's perception is much sharper than before, and he can already detect the slightest movement twenty or thirty feet away.
He heard clearly that there were several footsteps of different shades approaching in the distance.
At least four people.
One of them took a long breath, walked lightly, and opened the way at the front.
The man seemed to be aware of Jiang Chen's presence and slowed down slightly.
Jiang Chen was listening intently to what was happening in front of him, when suddenly there was a sound behind him. When he looked back, it was Lin Xi who came out.
"Miss Lin? The other party's purpose is unknown. You'd better not show up."
"Maybe it's Uncle Li and the others. Let me greet them with you." Lin Xi took two steps forward and walked to a position alongside Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smelled a refreshing fragrance under his nose and felt helpless.
In the current situation, it is definitely not a good thing to have such a fragrant beauty by your side - the Nether Forest is not governed by the king's law, and human desires will be infinitely magnified. If the person coming ahead is not the companion Lin Xi expected, , then it is very likely that a fierce battle will be triggered because of the beauty.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and it was too late for Lin Xi to hide back. Jiang Chen could only secretly regulate his energy and blood and prepare for battle.
Accompanied by the rustle of the leaves in the evening wind, several figures emerged from the night. They formed an arc formation and approached in a semi-surrounding manner, not concealing their hostility at all.
Jiang Chen looked at the familiar faces in front of him, and he didn't feel the slightest bit happy in his heart.
Lin Xi guessed wrong. It was not Uncle Li and other companions who had been separated from her, but the defeated remnants of the Two Wolf Hunting Group - the leader Jing Feng, the swordsman Duan Fei, the archer He Wen, and the gunman Shi Dinghai!
Jing Feng took the lead, his eyes swept across Jiang Chen, and then stayed on Lin Xi's face for a moment before breaking the silence first: "You also escaped from the temple? Where is Chi Yang?"
He lowered his gaze and landed on the ring finger on Jiang Chen's right hand, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "His Xihe ring finger is in your hand. I guess something happened to it?"
"Thanks to the leader of the group -" Jiang Chen let out a long sigh, "Chiyang is gone. But he left his last words and decided to forgive you, and also asked me not to resent you. You said that it is important to make such a friend. Isn’t it a blessing that you have cultivated for eight lifetimes?”
Jing Feng also sighed, with a slightly sentimental expression on his face. He lowered his head and said, "Lao Chi is just such a person. He hasn't changed after so many years..."
Duan Fei, He Wen, and Shi Dinghai beside him were also moved when they heard the news of Chi Yang's death, and they all looked at each other in shock.
Jiang Chen originally thought of a lot of resentful and sarcastic words, but when he thought of Chiyang's voice and smile, his mood dropped. He felt that his interest was waning and he had no interest in wasting his words on someone like Jing Feng.
After another period of silence, Jing Feng asked: "How did you escape?"
"The Grand Commander thinks that I 'escaped' just like you?" Jiang Chen's lips curled up into a sneer, "Why can't it be a triumphant victory after defeating the enemy?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't know how much you weigh!" Duan Fei scolded at the side, "Tell me honestly, why is Chiyang's finger ring in your hand?"
Jiang Chen raised his right hand and waved it in front of him: "Guess why Chiyang passed the finger to me?"
Jingfeng stared at the crimson ring on his thumb that originally belonged to Akaishi, his eyes flickered, and he let out another sigh of unknown meaning.
"You must have stolen it!" Duan Fei stared at the wrench with a look of greed on his face, "I've heard it a long time ago. If you are confused with a few thieves in Xiliao City, your hands and feet must be unclean! "
As he spoke, he took a step forward, pointed the blood-stained sword in his hand at Jiang Chen, and said in a stern tone: "The Grand Commander is here, why don't you hand over the stolen goods quickly!"
"A person like you is really..." Jiang Chen shook his head, "I originally promised Chiyang not to settle accounts with you. But if you insist on asking for a beating, I don't mind giving you a few more slaps."
Duan Fei remembered the humiliation of having his face swollen that night in Miss Gao's tent, his face became hot, his eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Just in time, the old and new debts will be settled today!"
"Stop!" A voice came from the cave.
When the members of the Double Wolf Hunting Group heard this familiar voice, their expressions changed.
There is no doubt that this is the voice of their employer on this trip, Miss Gao. She actually walked out of the temple alive?
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the hole behind Jiang Chen, paying close attention to what was going on inside.
Miss Gao's scolding came immediately: "Hey, you shameless slave, get out of the way quickly, I want to get out!"
"Why are you joining in the fun again?" Another woman's voice seemed reluctant.
"Get out of the way!"
Under the gaze of everyone, two women emerged from the cave one after another.
The first one is Lin Shuixian, the famous "Fragrance Thief" in Xiliao City, and the other one is Miss Gao, who has been summoned for a long time.
