Chapter 71: Danger everywhere

"Since Brother Li kindly invites me, my two brothers can't refuse it. We two brothers will join you and go into the mountain together. But let's be clear, where we brothers go after entering the mountain is up to us. meaning."

"Haha, this is natural. The reason why we go into the mountain together as a group is to prevent us from encountering some robbers who specialize in robbing our mercenaries and adventurers on the road. After entering the mountain, the two brothers don't have to go with us. They can go wherever they like. "Li Lang said with a smile.

"Well, please take care of me along the way." Xiang Chen said.

"By the way, you still don't know the names of the two brothers? How do you call them?" Li Lang asked.

"His name is Monkey. As for me, my name is Chen Feng." Xiang Chen did not tell the other party his real name.

"Hehe, you can call him Gouzi." Xiahou Wu said with a smile.

"Brother Monkey, Brother Chen, those are some of my companions, Zhao Mang, Qian Zhong, Sun Fang, Liu Er." Li Lang also introduced his companions.

Later, Li Lang invited his people to come over to share a table and drank with Xiang Chen and Xia Houwu. After drinking, he paid for the food and drinks generously.

After drinking, the two also went back to their room to rest.

This room is a large bed room that can sleep two people. Xia Houwu, who is not fastidious, does not take a shower and just falls down to sleep. After Xiang Chen takes a shower, he puts the Dragon Palace Demon Sword in its scabbard on the bedside and Instead of falling asleep, he took a few Qi and Blood Pills to refine and practice to strengthen his internal strength.

He has reached the ninth level of the physical realm. The next step is to open up the Ren and Du channels, enter the realm of the divine treasure, and open the divine treasure.

However, he was born with spiritual veins, so he didn't even need to open them. As long as his internal strength was strong enough and he could open the divine treasure in his dantian, he could step into the realm of divine treasure.

A few rooms away was the room where Li Lang and the others lived, and these five people were gathering together at the moment.

"I didn't expect that this time I could really pull two little fat sheep into the mountains together. I still don't have enough experience in the world."

The mercenary named Zhao Mang sneered.

"Yes, those two boys, you can tell by looking at their clothes that they are not ordinary young men. Two silver jade belts, not to mention the money inside, the value of two silver jade belts alone is enough to keep us cool for several years."

Liu Er sneered.

"What matters to me is that knife. The knife that the kid used to kill Hu Niu. Hu Niu's knife is also a low-grade, first-level treasured sword. It can actually be cut in one blow. That kid's knife is probably a mid-grade treasured sword. A fifth- or sixth-level sword, even a top-grade sword is not impossible." Li Lang said with narrowed eyes.

"High-quality sword! Then, it must be worth tens of thousands of gold coins!"

Several people exclaimed in disbelief, and their eyes became even more greedy.

"After this vote is done, the money we got will be used for squandering or cultivating for many years. Tomorrow, we will do it after we go into the mountains, you know? We can't leak it and ruin our reputation." Li Lang said.

"Understood!" the four said.

The world is dangerous and you are rich. Don't trust strangers who approach you. Kindness is human nature, and greed is even more natural. When the cruel laws of survival and the environment wipe out the kindness in people's hearts, what is left is that people don't care for themselves. Cruelty and greed will be damned.

In Xiang Chen's room.

"Gouzi, you're still practicing. Go to sleep. We'll go into the mountains tomorrow." Xiahou Wu muttered in confusion.

"Monkey, do you really believe those people?" Xiang Chen asked, sitting cross-legged.

"Li Lang and the others? What's wrong? They are all regular mercenaries, bound by royal laws and mercenary laws."

Xia Houwu asked.

"Wang Fa..." Xiang Chen chuckled and said, "Don't believe that in a place like this. Li Lang and the others are too positive and enthusiastic towards us. Although I don't want to maliciously speculate on other people's good intentions, we must not Don't be more vigilant, you only have one life, and you will die once it's over. Be extra vigilant tomorrow, you can't completely trust them."

"Okay, okay, I got it. If you don't want to sleep, I'll go to sleep first." Xiahou Wu yawned, wrapped himself in a quilt and fell asleep, his snoring sounding like thunder.

Xiang Chen closed his eyes and concentrated on practicing.

The night is getting deeper, the cold wind is howling outside, it is already November, the weather is already very cold, and the cold moon hangs high in the sky.

Behind the inn, four people were looking down at a room on the third floor.

"Are you sure? Those two boys live there?" one of the figures said.

This man is thin, but has extremely sharp eyes, like an eagle, and is wearing black night clothes.

"It's confirmed, it's that room. The little bastard who injured Zhou Tu and a boy live there."

Another man wearing night clothes and a mask said.

"Brother, you must kill that kid. I'm going to chop off his legs."

A man in black with his thigh wrapped in gauze said ferociously.

This person was clearly the thief Xia Houwu had injured before.

"Don't worry, if he dares to ruin the good deeds of our Jinghong Thieves Group, he will be killed. Go ahead."

The man in black said coldly.

The Jinghong Thieves Group is the most famous group of thieves within hundreds of miles. The leader of the group, Yan Hong, is one of the best in body skills within hundreds of miles. He comes and goes without a trace. All the thieves under his command are also Qinggong masters. His body skills are astonishing.

On the third floor, more than ten meters high, two men in black stepped on their toes, and a burst of true energy exploded, condensing into the shadow of a swallow. The whole person soared into the air seven or eight meters high. The second step was empty, and the air let out a roar of swallows. .

The two of them actually used their strength to fly up several meters in the air. They landed outside the window sill and grabbed the window sill with one hand.

What a handsome Qinggong!

One of them took out a sharp bamboo pipe from his arms.

The window paper made of oil paper was punctured, and the bamboo pipe was inserted into it, spitting out streams of green smoke!

Green smoke lingered and then spread out.

The two waited for a minute after blowing the smoke, and then used the iron saw to cut the window strips. Covered by the whistling of the cold wind, the sound of the sawing strips was not loud, and soon the two men cut out a window strip. A big hole to crawl into.

The two of them entered the room quietly like civet cats.

I saw two people lying on the bed in the room, Xia Houwu was fast asleep, and Xiang Chen, who was practicing, was also on the bed.

"Hehe, I fell asleep like a pig after being hit by the incense." One person sneered and looked at Xiahou Wu.

"That boy must be the guy who injured Zhou Tu."

"We made two, took our things and left."

Another person said coldly. The two of them took out a long knife carried on their backs and came to Xiang Chen and Xiang Chen. They looked at Xiang Chen who was sleeping soundly. It’s better if you sleep like a ghost and don’t feel any pain.”

The sword was filled with murderous aura, and it slashed towards Xiang Chen's neck. Another man also slashed towards Xia Houwu's head, killing both of them on the spot.
