Not long after Qin Ming returned to 'Eagle Mountain', the herb-picking teams came back one after another. It seemed that the harvest was not bad, and everyone had a smile on their faces. The disciples who were in charge of guarding also got some advantages, and got a few low-grade spirit grasses.
No one paid attention to Qin Ming, and Qin Ming didn't bother to talk to them. He sat by the iron bucket, gnawed dry food, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Yunluo Forest.
That night, eleven of the fifteen herb-picking teams came back, and four did not, including Qiao Chen and Zhao Min who would never come back.
Collecting herbs will always be accompanied by danger, and every disciple is mentally prepared. There were also casualties among the eleven teams that came back. Nine disciples were killed in the forest, and their bodies were never found.
"Zhao Min hasn't come back yet? Who is she with?"
"I remember it was with Qiao Chen."
"Our Senior Brother Qiao Chen is still happy, picking medicine and being accompanied by a beautiful woman. I think he didn't come back on purpose. One more day of getting along is a day, haha."
"Wait a little longer, you should be back soon."
At night, a bonfire was lit on the top of the mountain, and the disciples of Yaoshan gathered alone to count the harvest of each group. They came out with a mission, and they had to take back at least ten baht of middle-grade spiritual grass, preferably with the roots and soil, and at least one hundred for low-grade spiritual grass and spiritual fruit. If you fail to meet the requirements, you will be punished when you go back, and if you can exceed the task, you will receive special rewards.
The guardian disciples gathered together, talked and laughed, and enjoyed a delicious dinner. A female disciple greeted Qin Ming with a smile: "Hey, Qin Ming, come and have a seat?"
Qin Ming opened his eyes half asleep and half awake, shook his head and continued to be confused.
"We are very curious about how you broke through to the Spirit Martial Realm. Come and talk about it? I will reward you with a piece of meat." A male disciple also shouted at Qin Ming.
"Are you really the third level of Lingwu? Are you interested in competing with me? I promise not to play hard."
"Come on, let me give you a seat."
"I'm very interested in this kid. A young city lord has been a servant for eight years, and he really can bear it. Tell me, is he really free and easy, or is he dark-hearted and holding back his energy to take revenge in the future?"
"It's hard to say. Hey, Qin Ming, come here and ask you something, do you hate Qingyunzong?"
A group of disciples came to be interested and greeted Qin Ming one after another.
Qin Ming twitched the corners of his mouth, smiled silently, got up and straightened his clothes, people thought he was going to do it, but he went straight down to the top of the mountain and went to rest elsewhere.
The next day, a herb-collecting team came back, but Qiao Chen's team and the other two teams still didn't arrive.
Some disciples became uneasy, some stayed and waited, and some went to the nearby mountains to search.
After searching for two days and two nights in a row, they actually found several corpses. They were the guardian disciples in one of the groups. But the other herb-collecting team and Qiao Chen's team still found it, not even a dead body.
"Could it be that they were killed?" They had to think about the worst. Could it be that they met a mercenary team and were robbed and killed? Or was it hunted and killed by a spirit demon
Under normal circumstances, the mercenary team would not dare to provoke the disciples of the Qingyun Sect, but exceptions could not be ruled out.
If you encounter a powerful spirit demon unfortunately, you may be killed.
This kind of situation often happened in the past when collecting herbs, but in recent years, through the frequent deterrence of the elders, it rarely happened.
This time, three groups were killed at once, which made all the disciples very disturbed, especially Zhao Min, a special personal disciple, was among them.
They didn't dare to give up easily, so they dispersed and continued to search for two days. They really found the corpses of the other group of herbalists. It was not clear whether they were hunted and killed by spirit demons or robbed and killed by mercenaries. In the end, they found the corpses of the 'Double Swords Disciples' in Qiao Chen's group.
... ...
Three days later, the herb-picking team returned to Qingyun Sect, bringing back a lot of elixir, as well as the news of the death of Zhao Min and others.
No one doubted Qin Ming's head, because outsiders didn't know the grievances between Zhao Min and Qin Ming, let alone Qin Ming's strength.
The first thing Qin Ming did when he returned to Qingyun Sect was to go to the cliff next to Yaoshan to see if the snake heart fruit was still there.
The green vines all over the cliff, the thick vine leaves are full of green eyes, and there are many poisonous snakes and pythons hidden in it.
The snake heart fruit is still there, hidden in a hidden corner.
The Shura Knife in the sea of qi vibrated lightly again, and a misty black mist filled the sky, covering the sea of qi, spreading silently, as if reminding Qin Ming.
Qin Ming suddenly felt a little strange, why did the Asura Saber make him wary of the Golden Snake? This did not happen when encountering other powerful spirit monsters in the forest.
The golden snake appeared again, entangled the snake heart fruit, and swallowed the bloody snake letter towards Qin Ming.
Qin Ming stared at it for a while, then suddenly drew out two throwing knives, and threw them at the golden snake.
The throwing knife was powerful, and it flipped quickly, creating wind.
The golden snake opened its mouth and spewed out two beams of golden light, which were accurately intercepted. With two crisp clangs, the golden light actually shattered the flying knife, and large pieces of small fragments scattered all over the sky.
"hiss!!"
The whole body of the golden snake shone with golden light, and it seemed to be very angry when it swallowed the snake letter towards Qin Ming.
Qin Ming squinted his eyes, and without saying a word, he shot the throwing knife again, this time with all his strength, and shot in a straight line, as fast as thunder.
The golden snake hissed, spewed out dazzling golden light, intercepted it in the air, and shattered the flying knife again.
However, this time the flying knife was obviously broken after advancing a short distance against the golden light.
Qin Ming had a calculation in his mind, he was not the opponent of the Golden Snake now, and he would come back another day. He retreated into the dense forest and followed the rough path back to the warehouse.
He first cleared the weeds and fallen leaves on the solitary grave in the courtyard, watered the magnolia flowers there, and then hid in the back mountain, where he began to formally study the Purple Electric Mad Snake.
Qin Ming has a strong understanding, otherwise he would not be able to figure out the first three stages of the Vajra Strength by himself.
Although Zidian Mad Snake was complicated, it couldn't trouble him.
At night, Qin Mingzheng was fascinated by the study, and suddenly there was a burst of chaos in the warehouse.
Zhao Lie broke into the warehouse angrily, shouting Qin Ming's name: "Get out! Qin Ming, get out!"
While yelling, they smashed things in the warehouse, like crazy wild dogs, making crackling noises.
"Qin Ming! Get out, or I'll burn your warehouse down!"
"Get out! Get out for me!"
With flames burning in both hands, Zhao Lie shouted hoarsely, his eyes were bloodshot and his expression was ferocious.
"What do you want from me?" Qin Ming pushed open the iron gate, frowning and looking at the messy yard.
"Qin Ming! Where's my sister!" Zhao Lie pointed at Qin Ming and shouted.
"died."
"How did you die? Was it you!" Zhao Lie lost control of his emotions and shouted recklessly.
"Be careful what you say."
"It's you! It must be you! My sister is going to kill you. The person who died in the forest should be you. How did you come back? Ah, answer me. Why are you back, where is my sister!"
Qin Mingqi smiled: "Killing me is justified? Should I die?"
"You should die, you should die! Tell me, what happened in the forest?" Zhao Lie's eyes were red, and when he heard the news of his sister's death, he almost collapsed. His talent is very average, his current status is due to his sister, who is also his reliance, and suddenly died
Zhao Lie couldn't accept it at all. The reason why my sister participated in the herb gathering was actually to vent her anger and find an opportunity to kill Qin Ming in the forest. However, it was Qin Ming who came back, and his sister died for no apparent reason.
No one suspected that Qin Ming did it, but he was very sure that the matter had something to do with Qin Ming.
"You should be glad you didn't join the herb-picking team." Qin Ming snorted coldly, the siblings have the same virtues!
"It's you! It really is you! Tell me, what happened! Tell me! Is my sister dead or not, you bastard." Zhao Lie rushed towards Qin Ming like crazy.
Qin Ming grabbed his neck and held it high in the air: "You should thank me, if it weren't for me, your sister would have died a miserable death."
Zhao Lie struggled violently: "What did you do to my sister!"
"Dead!" Qin Ming pinched him and flung him away, sneering: "If your sister came back alive and I died in the forest, would you drink to celebrate?" Qin Ming's eyes were indifferent.
Zhao Lie struggled to get up: "Qin Ming! You must die! My sister is the most beloved disciple of Elder Chu Hua. If you kill her, Elder Chu Hua will not spare you."
"Don't swear, I didn't admit to killing people, besides, why did I kill your sister?" Qin Ming asked him back.
"You understand in your heart!"
"Hehe, I don't quite understand."
"My sister, Yaoshan Qiaochen, and the other three disciples, they must have all died at your hands, Qin Ming, you will die a miserable death, we will wait and see." Zhao Lie left angrily.
Qin Ming stretched out his hand to stop him: "I'll give you a word, the murderer will always be killed. You can do it yourself."
"Get out of the way! I will definitely avenge my sister!" Zhao Lie pushed Qin Ming's shoulder away, turned his head repeatedly before leaving, and looked at Qin Ming with hatred in his eyes.
