Half an hour later, each team quickly retreated and swarmed towards the edge of the stone forest. Many people shouted, "Half swords are killing people."
Du Dai, Jiang Rong and Qi Jin frowned when they saw the flying crowd and heard their shouts.
When those people who were noisy were less than 30 miles away, Qi Jin shouted, "I have seen the teams that kill people with swords. Send one person from each team over!"
Soon, six people flew in front of them, including those from the Du family, the sect, and the Qin family.
Qi Jin said, "Tell me clearly what you have seen, one by one from right to left."
Standing on the far right is Qin Renyuan, "We heard the cry of 'kill with half a sword' coming from the front, and saw many people running back, guarding the surroundings while running. We quickly gathered and prepared to retreat, but Just as we were gathering, half of the sword suddenly appeared and struck my uncle's neck. I happened to see this scene and hit the tip of the sword with my spear, and the sword disappeared."
Du Dai asked coldly, "Do you think it is a sword, or a sword controlled by a person?"
Qin Renyuan shook his head, "I don't know. But the force was very strong, and the grade of the sword is also at the level of a spiritual weapon. My gun was split into pieces. We sent an attack at the half sword, I don't know if it has any effect."
As he spoke, he took out the long gun, and saw a large gash at the head of the gun near the handle. This weapon, which was close to a high-grade magic weapon, was seriously damaged.
Qi Jin grabbed the gun and looked at it, "It was indeed cut with a sword."
Throwing the gun back into Qin Renyuan's hand, he looked at the second one and said, "Continue."
The second one said in panic, "The five of us were recovering our strength in the cave. Suddenly we heard Peng Jun scream. When he opened his eyes and rushed over, he only saw a sword that had already chopped off his head. He had just chopped off his head. His arm; just as he was about to check something, he heard the scream of the Toxic Dragon again. He was walking behind the four of us. The three of us were on guard for a while, but didn't see the half sword appear again, and then we came out. notice."
Qi Jin asked, "Shout loudly?"
He shook his head, "We didn't dare to confirm whether it was a sword or a sword controlled by a person, so we just ran to the nearest team and talked about it."
Qi Jin scolded, "Stupid! If you don't call out loudly or tell us when you encounter such a situation, you are extremely stupid!"
The remaining four statements were similar to the second one. Two teams were killed by two people, one team was killed by only one person, and the remaining team had no dead people, but only had their shoulders chopped off.
Du Dai listened to their stories, his face became even colder. The team that killed the two people was a team of 5, either from the Du family or his younger brother in the sect. He had doubts in his heart, but he didn't know how to doubt them.
Jiang Rong's face was even more ugly. Among those who were killed by the sword, one of them was his cousin, who was a genius in the family after him.
After listening to the story, Qi Jin suddenly felt that this was a bit illusory, but it actually happened. After pondering for a while, he looked at Du Dai and Jiang Rong, "If something like this happens, the three of us will be punished. Now let's go in and take a walk. Circle, call all the people inside, and see if there is a chance to see the half of the sword."
Du Dai and Jiang Rong both nodded gloomily.
It can be said that no benefits were obtained from this operation, but the losses were terrible.
The three people flew around the stone forest and called out all the people who had not left, but there were only a few people. Most of the people who heard the panicked shouts ran out together. Only those who were still holding on to luck tried to use this opportunity to collect more medicinal materials.
After gathering again, Du Dai's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
In this hunting operation, there was no trace of the hunted target. Of the 43 Houtianjing people who came from home, they lost 3 late-stage, 3 mid-term, and 6 early-stage people, and 26 people from the Houtianjing were injured.
As for the Qin family's Houtian realm disciples, there were 22 when they came, and there are still 22 now, but 16 of them suffered injuries of varying severity.
When he compared the situation between the two families, he almost lost his temper.
Qi Jin looked at Du Dai, "Have you found Du Fei and Pan Yun?"
Du Dai looked sad, "None of them."
Qi Jin looked at Qin Renyuan, "Where is Qin Mian?"
Qin Renyuan shook his head with a grimace, "I didn't find it."
Qi Jin nodded, "In this case, our search operation ends here."
In his mind, this was a search operation. This search operation had lost so many people, especially the appearance of the so-called half sword, which had seriously exceeded his expectations and could not continue...
A half-cut sword appeared in the stone forest to kill people. This incident caused a lot of noise in the sect. Even the elders of the Nascent Soul Realm went in to investigate, but no results were obtained.
In view of the heavy casualties caused, Du Dai and Qi Jin were punished by the sect. The main person responsible for Poison Talisman was imprisoned in the Ice Prison and sentenced to 5 years in prison; Qi Jin was the secondary responsible person and was also sentenced to the Ice Prison, but the prison term was only 1 year...
When Qin Mian returned home, it was already the sixth day since he left.
Seeing him push open the courtyard gate, Qin Zhi's eyes turned red as she sat in the courtyard staring at the gate, "Brother, did you go to the Hunchback Stone Forest?"
Qin Mian chuckled and said, "Only there are higher-grade medicinal materials. In other places, my level is not enough."
Qin Zhi's face was stern and she scolded, "Even if you advance to the early stage of the Chongtian realm, you cannot go to the Hunchback Stone Forest alone. You have to form a team to enter the Houtian realm. You, a Chongtian realm, will die."
Qin Mian knew that she was really angry and immediately stopped talking.
She continued to scold, "Dudai organized 200 people to go in this time, and my Qin family organized 22 Houtian realms separately, all to find you and the poison money. Do you know that 16 people died in this search and rescue operation?" The acquired state of injury, the acquired state of injury is even closer to 80..."
Scolding and scolding, she asked doubtfully, "Didn't you see them?"
Qin Mian said with a bitter face, "I went this time because I saw a swarm of bees last time. This time I went in specifically to get honey. I didn't expect that just after I got the honey, I was swatted away by a black bear. After I escaped, I found a place to heal, and I’m almost fully recovered today.”
He pulled her to her room and asked, "Sister, is the lotion given by my great-grandfather useful?"
Seeing that he changed the topic, Qin Zhi couldn't help but continue the training, so she nodded and said, "It's useful. Although there are still signs of collapse, they are minimal."
Qin Mian chuckled and said, "I went here this time just to take a gamble. The last time I met those mason bees, I suspected that there was honey and ground lotion in their hives. It turned out that there was indeed some, and I collected them all."
At this time, there was a loud knock on the door, "Is Qin Mian here?"
As soon as I walked in, before I could say a few words to my sister, someone came looking for her.
Qin Mian felt a little unhappy and turned around and asked, "Who is it?"
A voice came from outside the door, "Qin Mian, come with me to the Law Enforcement Hall quickly. The elder has something to ask."
Qin Mian said quickly, "I'll be right away."
When the law enforcement team wanted to question him, he naturally did not dare to resist.
He took out an elixir bottle and a small wooden box and handed them to Qin Zhi, "Sister, here are the mason bee honey and ground lotion I found. Please hurry up and try to see if the honey is useful."
Qin Zhi's eyes turned red instantly.
Qin Mian entered the Hunchback Stone Forest to find these things.
Before she could speak, an impatient voice came from outside, "Qin Mian, how long do you want me to wait?"
In just one sentence, he was annoyed by the wait.
Qin Mian put the things in Qin Zhi's hands and ran towards the door.
Qin Zhi looked at the storage ring in her hand and then at Qin Mian, feeling a little worried. In the law enforcement team, even if there are no problems, problems will arise more or less, and eventually a layer of skin will peel off before you can get out.
When he opened the door, Qin Mian waved a black light in his hand, and the black light embedded in a crack in the ground under the door. Then he stepped on the crack and opened the door smoothly.
Looking at the two people outside the door, Qin Mian's heart tightened. Among these two people, one was Du Jiahao, who was in the early stage of transcending the mortal realm, and he didn't know the other one.
He clasped his fists and asked, "I just came back. I wonder what happened at the Law Enforcement Hall?"
Du Jiahao's eyes revealed a gnawing look, "You are a small Chongtian Realm disciple. Do I need to tell you the reason? Just go if you want."
Seeing him talking like this, Qin Mian let go of his hands and looked at him calmly.
In public, Du Jiahao did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary. The ancestor of the Du family, ranked 21st, is only an inconspicuous figure in the sect, and there is also an ancestor ranked 20th.
Seeing his expression, Du Jiahao turned around and walked away, humming, "It's best to honestly tell you every bit of what happened in the Hunchback Stone Forest, otherwise your life will be worse than death."
Qin Mian didn't say anything and followed him, while the other member of the law enforcement team walked at the end.
Du Fei and Pan Yun disappeared, and so many people died in this operation. Qin Mian knew that he would be paid attention to by the Law Enforcement Hall when he returned, so he took many countermeasures.
Speechless all the way, the three people quickly entered the law enforcement hall.
Sure enough, there were elders waiting. They were Ge Xiuqi, the second elder in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall, and Guo Yiyuan, the leader of the Law Enforcement Hall. The other three were unknown.
Du Jiahao clasped his fists and saluted them, "Second Elder, Hall Master, and Deputy Hall Masters, Qin Mian has already arrived."
The second elder waved his hand and he immediately left the room.
Qin Mian then stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "I have met all of you, seniors."
The second elder is at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm and is over 30,000 years old. He is one of the legitimate elders of the sect. He squinted his eyes and looked at Qin Mian. The other people also released their pressure and didn't speak for a while.
So much coercion came at him, forcing Qin Mian to the point where he almost knelt down. He took two steps back in a row, still lowering his head and clasping his fists with his hands, looking from the crook of his arms to the ground in front of him.
Faced with such pressure, most people would lose their minds long ago. Qin Mian's lack of nervousness was false, but he immediately used "Starlight Jue" to transfer this tension.
He was angry in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't show any mistakes when he was under the roof.
After a moment of burning incense, everyone put away their pressure.
The second elder said, "Qin Mian, have you been to Hunchback Stone Forest twice?"
Qin Mian continued to clasp his fists and said, "Yes."
Guo Yiyuan said, "Close your fist and say something back."
Upon hearing this, Qin Mian immediately released his hands and said at the same time, "Thank you, senior."
Be courteous and have an attitude that is neither humble nor overbearing.
The second elder glanced at Guo Yiyuan and then asked, "Have you ever seen Du Fei or Pan Yun?"
Qin Mian looked at the second elder's chin, "Disciple has seen him twice."
The second elder said calmly, "Tell me about the whole process."
Qin Mian responded, "The first time I saw the two of them was at a three-way intersection. I was being stared at by a first-level black bee. Senior Brother Pan Yun saw an ordinary black bee flying towards him. He took a picture A slap triggered the swarm to attack..."
"The second time was when I came out, I met him out to explore the way. He said that Senior Brother Du Qiyi was injured, and he would take him out after he found the way. We had just walked less than 10 miles together when a second-level vulture chased him. Come……."
