"Uh, well..." A trace of hesitation flashed in the fat man's eyes.
"Say, or I'll throw you in." Lin Beichen crossed his arms and looked at the swamp with indifferent eyes.
"No, no, brother, I have something to say." The fat man was trembling with fright: "I came here this time for the Fire Spirit Fruit in Demon Cloud Marsh."
"Huh? Tell me in detail." Lin Beichen suddenly became interested.
Fire spirit fruit is a first-level elixir and is an auxiliary material used to refine the second-level elixir Xuanhuo Dan. If swallowed directly, it can absorb a large amount of spiritual energy, which is of great use to practitioners in the spirit-quenching realm.
When he was still a cripple, he had read many books on elixirs and elixirs in order to find a way to cure the damage to his Dantian.
He had seen this fire spirit fruit in a book on elixirs.
"Half a month ago, when a herb collection team from our Chamber of Commerce in Demon Cloud City entered Demon Cloud Marsh to collect medicinal materials, they accidentally found a Fire Spirit Fruit Tree, and the tree bore many fruits."
"Unfortunately, the green-scaled python that was guarding was alerted. The green-scaled python has the strength of the fifth level of the Spirit Tempering Realm. In the original team of more than a dozen people, only two people were seriously injured and escaped back to the city." Speaking of the blue-scaled python, At this time, a hint of fear flashed in Yuan Kai's eyes.
Hearing this, Lin Beichen frowned slightly. He knew that this kind of natural and earthly treasure would usually be guarded by some monsters, but he didn't expect it to be a green-scaled python whose strength had reached the fifth level of the Spirit Tempering Realm.
Somewhat tricky!
"Then do you know the exact location of the Fire Spirit Fruit Tree?" Lin Beichen frowned slightly.
"I have a map, brother. If you are interested, we can go together. I only need two Fire Spirit Fruits." Yuan Kai felt a hint of joy in his heart.
He could clearly feel how strong Lin Beichen threw him to the ground when he rescued him. He must be no less powerful than himself.
If Lin Beichen could go with him, the chance of obtaining the Fire Spirit Fruit would be much higher.
"Let's go." After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Beichen decided to go and have a try.
If he could get the Fire Spirit Fruit Tree, he would surely be able to recover some of his strength.
As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs?
"Okay, let's set off now!"
"Oh, by the way, brother, what's your name?"
"Lin Beichen."
"Wow, eldest brother is not only handsome and handsome, but also has such a nice name."
"...roll"
"Hey hey hey."
...........
An hour later.
"Brother, why don't you leave?" Yuan Kai looked back and found Lin Beichen standing there with an alert look on his face.
"There's someone fighting nearby." Lin Beichen said calmly.
"Brother, are you hallucinating? Why didn't I hear it?" Yuan Kai listened carefully, but did not hear any sound.
"Be careful, follow me." Lin Beichen slowly raised his steps and cautiously leaned towards the direction where the sound of fighting came from.
Seeing this, Yuan Kai hurriedly followed Lin Beichen's pace.
After a while, the fighting suddenly stopped.
"Hey, little girl, stop struggling."
"Bah, if you come any closer, I would rather die than let you succeed!"
Lin Beichen gently pushed aside a cluster of bushes and saw a scarred man on the grass in front of him slowly approaching the seriously injured girl lying on the ground.
"Wanqing!" Yuan Kai shouted from behind, then stood up from the bushes and rushed forward waving his fists.
"who!"
"Yuan Kai!"
The exclamations of the girl and the scarred man spread across the grassland.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the charging Yuan Kai was punched away by the scarred man. His fat body actually broke a tree as thick as a bowl.
"How dare you, a waste on the second level of the Spirit Tempering Realm, imitate other people's heroes to save a beautiful woman?" The middle-aged man looked at Yuan Kai, who was struggling to get up, with a mocking look on his face.
"Yuan Kai, leave quickly. This man's strength is at the fourth level of the Spirit Tempering Realm. You can't beat him." A look of anxiety appeared on the girl's pretty face.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Kai stood up from the ground tremblingly.
"Ah, I'll fight you." Yuan Kai staggered to his feet, waving his fist and continuing to rush towards the scarred man.
"boom!"
There was another loud noise, and Yuan Kai's fat body flew out again. This time he struggled for a long time and could not get up again.
"Yuan Kai!" The girl's eyes were red and her voice was trembling.
"Hmph, since you want to be a hero and save the beauty, I will kill you first." The scarred man's eyes were sinister as he walked towards Yuan Kai step by step.
"well."
A long sigh floated over.
"Is there another one?" The scarred man paused, then turned around to look.
Lin Beichen was seen slowly standing up from the bushes.
"I didn't want to cause more trouble, but it's a pity that this fat man is still useful to me now." Lin Beichen paused and continued: "If you know better, get out of here right now, and I can spare your life."
"Haha, that's such a big tone. Let me try what your yellow-tongued brat is capable of."
After finishing his words, the scarred man stepped heavily on the ground with his right foot, jumped up, and hit Lin Beichen with his fist wrapped in the fierce wind.
"Oh, it's been two years and I haven't had any physical contact with anyone yet, so I'm going to use you to stretch my muscles today." Lin Beichen's eyes turned cold, he tapped the ground with his toes, and then he rose into the air and slapped the scarred man with his palm.
Their fists and palms collided heavily, and both of them were staggered by the force of the counterattack for several steps before they stopped.
"Fourth level of the Spirit Tempering Realm? Who are you? How can a fourth level of the Spirit Tempering Realm of your age in Demon Cloud City be unknown?" A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the scarred man.
"Ha, you don't deserve to know my name." Lin Beichen smiled sarcastically, then looked at the seriously injured girl not far away: "I'll lend you my sword."
Upon hearing this, the girl quickly threw the sword in her hand towards Lin Beichen.
"I don't know if a first-level mortal can withstand my attack." Lin Beichen looked at the sword in his hand and murmured to himself.
"Fellow Taoist, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. I am here under the orders of Lord Yan. I can only take this girl away, but I don't have to kill the fat man." The scarred man threatened with sinister eyes.
"Brother, I beg you to save Wanqing. I will agree to whatever you want."
Before Lin Beichen could answer, Yuan Kai, who was lying on the ground, struggled to raise his head and looked at Lin Beichen with a pleading look on his face.
"How about it, if you like this sword, you can take it away." The scarred man continued to ask.
"Oh, I don't have any hobbies, I just like to meddle in other people's business." A sneer appeared at the corner of Lin Beichen's mouth.
"In that case, just wait for me." After saying this, the scarred man turned around and wanted to leave, but there was a sinister look in his eyes.
Just when Yuan Kai and the girl thought they were finally saved, the scarred man suddenly turned around and shot a hidden weapon in Lin Beichen's direction.
"Ding!"
Lin Beichen, who had been on guard for a long time, lightly blocked the sword with his horizontal sword, and the hidden weapon flew out in response.
He had already noticed the sinister look in the scarred man's eyes when he turned around just now.
He is not the kind of young boy who is just starting out!
"It seems that you don't want to live anymore." Lin Beichen's eyes turned cold: "You are lucky to die under my attack."
The spiritual energy in Lin Beichen's body circulated rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the spiritual energy was poured into the sword in his right hand.
"Swift Shadow Sword!!!"
Lin Beichen shouted low, and the sword turned into several afterimages and stabbed the scarred man.
The speed was so fast that no one present could react!
"Pfft!"
A column of blood gushes out from the scarred man's chest.
"How...how do you...know martial arts..." The scarred man's pupils were dilated, and he looked at the pierced chest with a look of disbelief.
"boom!"
The scarred man's body suddenly fell down!
"clang!"
The next second,
The long sword in Lin Beichen's hand slipped out of his hand, his legs flexed as if out of control, and then he fell headlong onto the grass.
"Brother!"
