Fulong Mountain undulates, stretches for tens of thousands of miles, and traverses across it. The seven martial arts cities of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and thunder are located under one section of Fulong Mountain, and the distance between them is relatively close.
Anyone who wants to practice, Fulong Mountain is the first choice and must-choice place for warriors in the seven martial arts cities.
Fulong Mountain is long and wide, but it is only a branch of Beast Mountain Range. When Chen Zong knew this, he was very shocked.
Fulong Mountain is so long and big, so what about Baishou Mountain
In Fulong Mountain, there are countless monsters infesting. The weakest one is naturally the first-level low-grade monster. It is said that there are fourth-level or even higher-level monsters infesting. Only powerful warriors who have surpassed the Qi and blood realm can fight against them.
Under the leadership of a deacon of the family hall, the ten members of the Chen Family Hall left Fengwu City, relying on their own legs, and quickly headed towards Fulong Mountain. Along the way, the deacon also explained some situations of Fulong Mountain to them , the focus is on the Chenjia Iron Mine.
The iron mine of the Chen family is located in Fulong Mountain, but it does not go deep into Fulong Mountain. That location is a little bit deeper than the outer periphery. Haunts, but rarely.
"The ten of you will be divided into five groups and guarded in five directions of the mine vein. Remember, you must keep one person in the stronghold at ordinary times, and the two of you cannot leave." The deacon Chen Shaojie said in a solemn tone: "The other The rules, from the brief introduction of the task, you have all been clear."
The woods are everywhere, and the grass is overgrown, very dense and exuberant.
Although the road is a bit rough, it does not hinder everyone, after all, each of them is a warrior.
This is Chen Zong's first time entering the mountain since he was a child, and it is Fulong Mountain, which is bigger than Fenghou Mountain outside Xiaohu Town, and he has an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Seems to be excited.
I can only feel the scenery around me, I can’t get enough of it with my eyes, that kind of immersive experience is very wonderful, just like walking out of a cage suddenly, the sky is high and the earth is wide, and the heart is also infinitely high.
Vaguely, there seemed to be some touch, but there was nothing.
Walking and walking, the grass and trees gradually became thinner until they finally disappeared, and everyone knew that the Chen family's mine had arrived.
The ore veins are iron ore, which produce raw iron and a small amount of heavy iron, which can be refined. After refining, the pig iron ore will become rough iron, which can then be forged into ordinary iron blocks, fine iron blocks, and so on.
As for heavy iron, although the amount is small, its use is limited and its value is not high.
"Deacon Shaojie, it's your turn to lead the team for this mission."
A group of people came in front, ten in total, all of them were wearing light iron armor with long knives on their waists. They looked at least in their twenties, their expressions were cold and serious, and they all exuded a trace of murderous aura. They immediately told Chen Zong Waiting for ten people brings an invisible pressure.
That is a murderous aura, which can only be cultivated after a real life-and-death battle.
These ten people are the Chen family warriors who really guard the mine veins, also known as the Chen family iron guards, and each of them has at least the seventh level of Qi and Blood Realm, or even higher.
Among them, the one who said hello was the leader among the ten. He looked like he was in his thirties, with a serious expression on his face, and the smile he squeezed out seemed a bit forced, and he seemed to seldom smile.
"That's right, Captain Ironsan, there shouldn't be anything happening in the mine recently." Deacon Chen Shaojie responded with a smile.
"With our Chen Family Tiewei here, everything will be fine." Captain Tiesan's tone revealed a kind of confidence.
"That's true." Chen Shaojie's tone was not perfunctory, but also a kind of confidence.
After the two of them exchanged a few words, Captain Tiesan led the team to continue patrolling.
Deacon Chen Shaojie also took the opportunity to introduce Chen Family Tiewei to everyone.
The Chen family's iron guard is the guard directly under the Chen family. Only those who have reached the seventh floor of the Qi and Blood Realm are eligible to enter. The total number of people is in their early twenties. In addition to the captain, they are divided into twelve teams, and three teams are divided into guarding the mine veins. Rotate once a year.
Thirty martial artists at least at the seventh level of Qi and Blood Realm, each of whom is an elite fighter who has experienced many life-and-death battles, is not only strong in personal strength, but also good at cooperating. It is not difficult to guard a mine vein.
This is also the reason why the mine lode still belongs to the Chen family despite several accidents over the past few decades.
Involuntarily, Chen Zong and others felt a little bit of admiration for the Chen Family Tiewei.
Take Chen Zong's ten people to the center of the mine vein, where there are two rows of houses, one row is where the miners live, and the other row is where the elders and iron guards guarding the mine vein live.
After meeting the family elders and iron guards, ten people were assigned to go.
"Chen Zong, I'll give you one more chance to hand over the sword to me." Chen Kaiyue walked to Chen Zong's side and said in a low voice: "The favor owed to you still counts, and you can team up with me, and I can protect you. Let you complete the task smoothly."
Chen Zong didn't even bother to say anything, and went directly to Chen Zhong's side.
"Brother Chen Chong, let me form a team with you." Chen Zong said.
"It couldn't be better." Chen Zhong also had the same meaning.
After all, they are all from Xiaohu Town, and their relationship is relatively close.
Chen Kaiyue's face was livid, his teeth were almost gnashed, Chen Zong dared to belittle him so much.
"Chen Zhong, you are in the same group as a fourth-level Qi and Blood Realm, so you are not afraid of being implicated." Chen Waixiu smiled strangely.
"Aren't you also at the fourth level of Qi and Blood Realm?" Chen Zhong retorted.
"Hehehe, your news is outdated. I am now at the fifth level of Qi and Blood Realm." Chen Waixiu was a little proud.
"Okay, since you have assigned groups, each choose a direction, walk over by yourself, and you will be able to see the house. Stay there for three months. If you have no food, you can come here to collect it. You can also come to ask for help to solve the problem, and remember, if you encounter a monster and you are not sure how to deal with it, remember to send a signal for help." Deacon Chen Shaojie clapped his hands and said, signaling everyone to start the task.
"Clan brother, let's choose this side?" Chen Zhong pointed to the west, but Chen Waixiu seemed to be deliberately against him, and led his team members to the west.
Chen Zong and the two didn't care, and chose to go to the north.
…
A small courtyard is located in the mountains, with sparse vegetation in the distance on one side and barrenness on the other, like a dividing line.
Chen Zong and Chen Zhong lived in the small courtyard, each with a bedroom, and there were other rooms for other purposes, such as kitchen and so on.
The air in the mountains is very fresh and the scenery is beautiful, but maybe because of the relationship between the mine veins and a little bit of metallic taste.
After receiving enough food for ten days, Chen Zong and Chen Zhong lived here with peace of mind, and they would take turns to patrol the surrounding area after practicing.
Today, it was Chen Zong's turn to patrol again.
After detouring left and right, he walked forward. Gradually, the grass and trees became sparse and became vigorous little by little.
Chen Zong suddenly smelled a very strange fishy smell, which seemed to become stronger little by little, and he immediately realized that something was approaching him.
Suddenly, there was an inexplicable excitement in my heart.
"Perhaps, it's a monster." Chen Zong thought to himself, his left hand holding the sword was even stronger.
So far, he has become a martial artist, and his cultivation has even reached the fifth level of Qi and Blood Realm. However, except for some sparring, he has never experienced any real battle.
Dad once said that an excellent warrior must go through life and death, only in this way can he truly grow up.
Thinking about those iron guards of the Chen family, Chen Zong didn't know about the others, but the ten people he saw with his own eyes had a killing aura on them, giving him an extremely dangerous feeling.
"Monster, come." With a secret voice, Chen Zong almost held his breath, his eyes became extremely sharp, and he stared straight ahead, as if he wanted to see through countless plants and trees.
As the fishy smell became stronger, the vegetation in front also swayed, and that thing got closer.
A little red pattern appeared, becoming more and more clear.
On the dark yellow fur, dotted with red markings, it looks like a huge bobcat.
"Red-spotted leopard." The moment Chen Zong saw the other party, the many miscellaneous notes he had read in the Zongtang Tibetan Martial Arts Building flashed through his mind, and he instantly distinguished the other party's name and all other information.
The red-spotted leopard is generally about 1.5 meters long when it is an adult. It is a first-class low-grade monster. It is fast and explosive, and its claws are very sharp, comparable to refined iron-level swords.
Moreover, the red-spotted leopard does not have any obvious weaknesses. If I insist, it is not strong enough, but it is relatively, at least against the upper fourth floor of the Qi and Blood Realm, it is completely brutal, even if it is an ordinary fourth floor of the Qi and Blood Realm. , is not necessarily the opponent of the other party.
After all, monsters are born with strong bodies and a certain amount of wisdom, and they are good hunters in the mountains and forests.
The length of the red-spotted leopard in front of him is about 1.6 meters, definitely an adult.
The red-spotted leopard lowered its body, as if drawing a bow, its broken golden eyes locked on Chen Zong, it was extremely cold and full of tyranny, the claws of its front paws gently drew deep cracks on the ground, its power surged, and it was very violent , can erupt at any time, delivering a fatal blow.
The tyrannical aura and cold, ruthless eyes are enough to make a warrior at the fourth level of Qi and Blood Realm tremble all over his body, and it is difficult for him to exert a few percent of his strength, even if he is at the fifth level of Qi and Blood Realm.
Chen Zong's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and he felt chills all over his body and skin numbness. He was startled and realized that he had never been in a life-and-death battle. Facing these monsters that survived the killing again and again, he had an inherent disadvantage.
Putting up the sword-folding gesture, staring at the red-spotted leopard with both eyes, not letting go of the slightest movement of the other party, taking a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, everything around him seems to be fading away, only the sound of the heartbeat becomes more and more intense. The hair is clear, like beating a drum.
The tip of the mysterious sword trembled slightly, the silver dragon flew in the air, and the brilliance permeated the whole body. Chen Zong's breath became long, his spirit was highly concentrated, and his muscles, bones and muscles were in a state of looseness. In an instant, he could burst out with amazing strength.
One man, one beast face off!
Chen Zong was waiting for the red-spotted leopard to take the initiative to attack, while the red-spotted leopard was observing the humans in front of him, looking for an opportunity to take advantage of it. It was like an excellent hunter, keeping its posture very patiently and motionless, even its violent eyes did not change at all. It's like turning into a sculpture.
