Time flies like an arrow, and time flies like a shuttle.
Before you know it, three years have passed...
…
"Shasha..."
A soft sound of footsteps sounded in the quiet mountain forest, and four figures walked slowly on the thick dead leaves, coming from the south and going north.
These four people are all young people. Only the leader looks about thirty years old, and the three people behind him look about twenty years old. They are all wearing black robes, with empty hands and nothing else on them. The thing walked in the dense forest as if taking a leisurely stroll, showing no fear of the wild beasts in the mountains.
It was obvious that these people did not go into the mountains to hunt, and they were not from a small village.
outsider.
"Senior Brother Feng, we have been searching in this area for five days. Shouldn't we report to Senior Uncle Yang and the others?"
After walking for a long time, a short-haired young man on the left couldn't help but speak. Judging from his appearance, although he was not very tired, he seemed to be a little tired of this boring search.
Feng Mingxu looked back at him, and then at the endless mountains and forests. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, if we are too far away from the team, it will be inconvenient for just the few of us to move. Let's go back and meet up with the big team first. Then let’s see what Uncle Yang has planned.”
Hearing that he agreed to temporarily stop the search, the three young men behind him were obviously relieved. One of the young men with thick eyebrows complained in a low voice: "Oh! We have been searching in the Qimang Mountains for a month, and there are no traces of people." I haven’t even seen one, and I really don’t know where I got the news that the Medicine Refining Sect is in the Qimang Mountains - could the Medicine Refining Sect, which has disappeared for two thousand years, be in such a ghost place?"
Another young man with small eyes also answered: "That's right... The Qimang Mountains are second only to the three most dangerous places. How could anyone live here? There are rumors that there are many powerful souls in the depths. Beasts, if anyone really dared to live there, they would have been eaten up by the soul beasts long ago! Besides... If we really wanted to search, it would be clear as long as a peerless strongman like the Great Elder flew around in the air to explore. Is it there? Why do we have to go to the trouble of hiking into the mountains to search... The Qimang Mountains are so big. We have only walked the first half of it for a month, and we haven't even seen a soul beast yet. This is so big When will the search be completed?"
Listening to their long complaints, Feng Mingxu, who was walking in front, frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "You should complain less! If everything is done by the elders, what use do we need?! And... do you think it's true? Is it that simple?! If the Alchemy Sect is really hidden in the Qimang Mountains, how can there be no magic array or other means to protect the hiding place? How can it be clear just by flying through the air to explore? Looking for the Alchemy Sect? The matter is of great importance, and there is absolutely no room for error. We have sent so many of us out this time to search the entire Qimang Mountains, and no corner can be spared. If we really find the Alchemy Sect, then we will definitely be able to greatly increase our strength. , when the time comes... it will be possible to pacify the world in one fell swoop!"
"Senior Brother Feng said, let's stop complaining and just do our own thing seriously. At least we are pretty good. We are just searching here. We have not gone to the battlefield. We don't have to worry about being killed accidentally. Kill..." The short-haired young man who spoke earlier echoed.
The faces of the two young men who complained just now changed slightly. They seemed to be quite afraid of the word "battlefield". They nodded with deep understanding and said nothing more.
…
Feng Mingxu took out a gray bead the size of an egg, poured a little soul power into it, then concentrated on sensing it, and said: "Uncle Yang and the others are in that direction, let's search there."
As he spoke, he pointed to the right side, and everyone turned around and headed that way.
"Eh?! Look, Senior Brother Feng! There is someone there!!"
Not long after walking, the short-haired young man suddenly pointed to a mountain col in the distance on the left and exclaimed.
The rest of the people followed the sound and saw that there were a lot of buildings there. It was a small village with moving figures and several wisps of smoke rising there.
"Is it the Alchemy Sect?!" the young man with small eyes on the right said with surprise.
Feng Mingxu looked over there carefully, shook his head and said: "It's just a small village, it shouldn't be the Alchemy Sect, but at least it's the first group of people we've met in the Qimang Mountains this month, maybe it can Got some information about the Alchemy Sect—let’s go over and take a look!”
The four of them immediately changed directions and walked quickly towards the small village. The short-haired young man looked at the rising smoke and said excitedly: "Hey, I didn't expect that there are actually people living in this ghost place. Even if I can't ask for anything useful, , it’s okay to ask them to hand over some food... I haven’t had a good meal for a whole month... "
…
When these people swaggered into the village entrance, they immediately attracted the attention of the villagers. Soon, almost most of the villagers came out of their homes and gathered in the center of the village, looking at the people walking by in surprise and curiosity. Four people.
When a hound saw strangers, it might have sensed danger and instinctively wanted to stop them. However, it was kicked away by Feng Mingxu and fell to the ground wailing. This scene shocked all the villagers. Women and The children shrank back subconsciously, while some young adults looked angry and glared at these people.
Except for Bai Yunfei, they had never come into contact with 'strangers' at all. When four of them suddenly appeared, they didn't know how to deal with them.
"Guys... may I ask where you are from? When you came to our small village, do you need help?"
Finally, the white-haired old village chief walked out of the crowd, looked at the four strangers, and spoke in a friendly manner.
"..." Feng Mingxu did not answer, but glanced at the entire village with an indifferent expression, and even directly sent out soul consciousness to sense every place. He was slightly disappointed in his heart. These people were all ordinary people, not even half a soul master. Without asking, he knew that he could not be the person from the Alchemy Sect that he was looking for.
However, you always have to ask. Feng Mingxu's eyes suddenly turned cold and he said word by word: "Let me ask you, do you know where the Alchemy Sect is?!"
He didn't beat around the bush, because there was no need for it. If these people really knew, there was no way they could deceive him.
"Alchemy Sect?" The old village chief was stunned for a moment, with doubt in his eyes, "What is it?"
Others were also puzzled, wondering what this stranger meant by suddenly asking so coldly.
"Senior Brother Feng, there's no need to ask. It's obvious that these are just a group of wild ants. It's impossible to know the whereabouts of the Alchemy Sect." The short-haired young man also knew the answer from everyone's expressions and seemed a little impatient. He took a step forward and said loudly, "You guys! Take out all the prepared food immediately, we will take it and leave!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing his words, the villagers were shocked and looked at him in disbelief. Some people were even more furious, feeling that these outsiders who appeared inexplicably were too arrogant and annoying.
"What?! You want to resist?!" A cold light flashed in the short-haired young man's eyes, and a hint of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, purple light flashed on his body, and he swung his right hand to the right, and a bolt of Lei Yuanli flew out, and with a 'boom' sound, the man standing next to him flew out. A stone that was as tall as a person was smashed into pieces.
"ah!!"
Seeing this scene, all the villagers changed their colors in shock, and there was quite a commotion.
Seemingly satisfied with the shock he had caused to these people, the short-haired young man snorted coldly: "You have to deliver all the food within half an hour, otherwise... I will kill you all!"
