It is surrounded by hills on all sides, with a low and flat terrain in the middle, similar to a "ring mountain".
Zhang Xiaoshan stood at the bottom of the hill. There was a dark cave beside him. At the entrance of the cave lay the corpse of a strange beast that looked like a pangolin.
He was holding a medicinal herb in his hand and was shouting excitedly to two Fire Jade Department disciples not far away.
"It's a joke, you think I don't dare? At worst, they will fall apart and no one will be able to get it..."
Zhao Lin lay on the hill and glanced down, roughly understanding what happened.
It seems that Zhang Xiaoshan discovered that there were medicinal herbs in the cave, and while picking them, he disturbed the strange beasts in the cave.
After a fight, Zhang Xiaoshan killed the strange beast and came out with the medicinal herbs. He didn't expect to meet two Fire Jade Tribe disciples who broke into the place.
Disciples of the Fire Jade Department came to snatch it, but Zhang Xiaoshan knew he was outmatched, so he simply threatened to destroy the herbs to force them to leave.
With his mind spinning in his stomach, Zhao Lin finally looked at the herbs in Zhang Xiaoshan's hand.
The herb was more than three feet long and as thick as a wrist. The stems had rings like bamboo knots, and the leaves were wide and dotted with dots of patterns.
The most peculiar thing is that there are two fruits of the same size on the top of the plant, one green and one red, exuding a fragrant fragrance that can be smelled from a long distance away.
"Diluoguo?"
Zhao Lin took a breath. Is this Xiaoshan capable or just lucky?
Diluo fruit is the top-grade medicinal material for martial arts. The two fruits are one yin and one yang. It is supplemented with medicinal materials such as Dipu leaf and Hailongdan that promote menstruation and remove blood stasis. It has a miraculous effect on treating hidden injuries on martial artists.
With my keen sense of smell, I have been busy all morning, but the total harvest may not be as good as this pair of earthworms.
"You two don't want such a good medicinal herb to be ruined, right?"
Zhang Xiaoshan held the plant stem with one hand and two earthworms with the other, and said threateningly.
"Don't mess around. The elders said you can't waste herbs, otherwise you will be severely punished!"
"Yes, severe punishment will not be tolerated."
The two disciples were one tall and one short. The tall one was thin and the short one was fat. They had the word "fire" embroidered on the shoulders of their training uniforms. They stood three feet away from Zhang Xiaoshan, attacking from both sides.
The two thought they had picked up a big mistake, but they didn't expect that Zhang Xiaoshan didn't follow common sense and actually threatened them with medicinal herbs.
If someone else said this, the two of them might not believe it, but Zhang Xiaoshan comes from a martial arts family and has a backer, so maybe he can really do it.
If it weren't for Diluoguo, they wouldn't want to break up with this second-generation ancestor.
"What are you afraid of? I'm afraid you won't be able to let go." Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't help but look proud when he saw that the two of them were being held.
The short and fat disciple asked: "Aren't you afraid that we will tell the elders?"
Zhang Xiaoshan bared his teeth: "Sue, I will say that you forced me."
"you……"
The two disciples of the Fire Jade Department did not dare to grab them forcefully, but they were reluctant to leave. The situation was in a stalemate for a while.
Zhao Lin thought for a moment, got up and walked down the hill.
Sand and stones rolled down from the soles of their feet, immediately attracting the attention of the three of them.
Zhang Xiaoshan was overjoyed when he saw this and greeted: "Junior Brother Zhao, help me get rid of them quickly."
The two Fire Jade Department disciples were shocked at first when they saw someone, but when they saw Zhao Lin's face clearly, they felt a little relieved.
The short and fat disciple sneered: "Newcomer, I advise you not to get involved. It's too late to leave now, otherwise I'll rob you too."
The tall and thin disciple echoed: "Yes, I'll rob you too!"
Zhao Lin ignored the two of them, turned to Zhang Xiaoshan and said, "I can help you. I'll share one of the Diluo fruits."
"Divide you?"
Zhang Xiaoshan was startled, then smiled and said: "Okay, I'll give you one, and you can drive them away now."
Zhao Lin stood still and said calmly: "You won't take the opportunity to escape, will you?"
Zhang Xiaoshan blinked twice quickly, with a determined look on his face: "Absolutely not!"
The short and fat disciple rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "How about this, the four of us fight, and whoever wins gets the stuff?"
The tall and thin disciple was stunned, then walked over and whispered, "What's the competition for? Scare the new guy away. One more person will cause more trouble."
The short and fat disciple lowered his voice and said: "Drive this person away. Zhang Xiaoshan is holding on to Diluo Guo. We can't do anything about it even if we say every word."
"It's better to have a two-on-two fight and coax Zhang Xiaoshan to put down the Diluo Fruit, so we can start. Are you still worried that you can't beat these two rookies?"
"It makes sense, let's do it!"
The two people spoke in extremely low voices. Zhao Lin let go of his hearing and listened to every word.
"This idea suits my taste."
Zhao Lin's face remained calm, but he was thinking about it in his heart.
He is confident of defeating these two Fire Jade disciples, but the question is what happens next?
With Zhang Xiaoshan's temperament, wouldn't it be in vain if he tried to do something like this with him? I don't have time to waste time with him.
"What a great idea. Let's have a fight. Whoever wins gets the Diluo Fruit." Zhao Lin agreed.
Zhang Xiaoshan shouted: "It's not fair. Why should I gamble with something that is mine?"
Zhao Lin nodded slightly, "That makes sense. I'll leave first. You guys can use it up slowly and see who can use it up more than the other." After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Hey, don't go!"
Zhang Xiaoshan was a little anxious and called Zhao Lin and said: "We are from the same hospital, why don't we help?"
"How can you help? You want me to beat them two by myself?" Zhao Lin asked.
"Well..."
Zhang Xiaoshan thought for a while and whispered: "You can't fight two, but you can deal with one, right?"
Zhao Lin had just started playing for two months, and there were no competitions on weekdays. He still didn't know what Zhao Lin's skills were.
Zhao Lin looked at the two Fire Jade disciples seriously and said, "Okay."
Zhang Xiaoshan was still hesitating, and Zhao Lin reminded him: "If you continue to waste more, I'm afraid someone else will come, and I won't be able to help you then."
Zhang Xiaoshan struggled for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, let's do it!"
When Zhao Lin and the two Fire Jade Division disciples heard this, they were secretly happy at the same time, but they did not show it.
"Stand further away."
Zhang Xiaoshan stuck the plant in the ground and reached out to pick the fruit and put it on his body. But he was worried that it would break during the fight, so he hesitated and took his hand back.
Zhao Lin shook his head secretly. His actions had actually clearly told others that he was bluffing just now.
The short and fat disciple whispered to his companion: "Zhang Xiaoshan has a family tradition of martial arts. I'm afraid he will be difficult to deal with. I will fight with him, and the new one will be yours."
The tall and thin disciple responded: "Okay, you must pester Zhang Xiaoshan, otherwise this kid will go and act shady again."
"Don't worry, you can't run away from him..."
The four people walked to the center of the valley with their own thoughts and stood facing each other.
"We are all our own people. Using sticks will hurt the harmony. Besides, this thing is good for scaring strange animals, but it is not as effective as fists for fighting."
The short and fat disciple said, throwing the beef tendon stick aside to the ground.
"I have no opinion."
"good……"
Zhao Lin, Zhang Xiaoshan and the tall and thin disciple also threw away the beef tendon sticks they were wearing.
They looked at each other and moved almost at the same time.
The short and fat disciple pounced on Zhang Xiaoshan and used close combat techniques to prevent Zhang Xiaoshan from changing his mind midway and running back to threaten him with Diluo Fruit.
The tall and thin disciple wanted to capture Zhao Lin quickly so that he could use his hands to snatch the Earthly Fruit. He stood up and started to move his palms apart. The force of his palms penetrated the back of his fingers and struck Zhao Lin directly.
Now that Zhao Lin has mastered Shi Xiao's fist strength, he is no longer afraid of fighting with others. When the opponent's palm strength becomes too old and unable to change his moves, he will suddenly punch out.
