But then I thought about it, I had boasted to Yan Tianying before that I would use the "100,000 bounty" as a whetstone to sharpen myself, but now that I have encountered such a trivial matter, I have to go to the parents...

"Liao Xun is a father-in-law, that is, he belongs to the emperor. If the man named Liao wants to kill me, it is definitely not for the reward. Zhou Shicheng, a fool who doesn't know the truth, really thinks that Eunuch Liao is going to conspire with him to get 100,000 silver dollars...

"Well, as an emperor, Eunuch Liao cannot kill me openly and openly. He has to go through so many twists and turns, which shows that Master Yan is very powerful in intimidation..."

Since Yan Tianying had already shouldered part of the pressure for him, preventing the emperor from doing whatever he wanted, and not even being able to send out powerful experts, it was up to him to shoulder the rest of the pressure himself.

When working in the Shencat Hall, you will encounter countless dangers. How can you trouble the patriarch Yan Tianying with everything?

Speaking of which, he has yet to repay the favor he owed him during the spider mother incident.

Thinking of this, Shen Lang made a decision:

"In that case, let's continue to leave the city and meet Liao Xun and Ding Hao for a while."

Zhou Shicheng was still under the continuous influence of the "Transfer Curse" at this time, but Shen Lang immediately followed his lead and agreed immediately without hesitation.

So next, Zhou Shicheng tidied up his clothes and cast a healing spell to heal the bruise on his forehead. Then he and Shen Lang left the house, remounted their horses, left Xingyefang, and headed north.

Go towards the gate.

After leaving the north gate of the capital, we are still faced with rows of houses and buildings, various shops, taverns, brothels, and gambling stalls. There is also a constant flow of cars, horses and pedestrians on the road, making it very lively and prosperous.

However, compared with the city, these street markets outside, which were formed spontaneously by the people, are somewhat lacking in planning.

The streets are not in a straight and horizontal checkerboard shape, but are winding, with avenues connecting to alleys, and alleys connecting to avenues.

Some places are even more maze-like. If you are a new arrival from outside, there is a high chance that you will get lost if there is no one to guide you.

However, the outer market is a bit chaotic, but it also has a prosperous and lively atmosphere, and the fresh atmosphere of the world of business is everywhere.

Shen Lang and Zhou Shicheng rode their horses for a long time before gradually leaving the densely populated areas and arriving at the relatively deserted suburbs. After that, they galloped for more than thirty miles before arriving at the foot of "Taiyi Mountain".

Taiyi Mountain is the northern barrier of the capital, with a length of more than 200 miles from east to west, more than fifty miles at its widest point from north to south, and twenty or thirty miles at its narrowest point.

The mountains are full of mountains, cliffs, deep valleys, rugged terrain, deep grass and dense forests. As long as a few important roads are blocked, the enemy from the north will not be able to easily attack the capital.

In the late years of the previous dynasty, countless monsters gathered in Taiyi Mountain, often coming out of the mountain to attack towns and plunder people and animals.

But after Taizu brought peace to the world, the demons in the mountains were gradually wiped out.

Nowadays, in the huge Taiyi Mountain, there are only a few low-level monsters that are not popular, as well as ordinary monsters such as the Manggu Clam, which cannot be considered monsters, and will not actively come out of the mountain to harm people. As long as they are not provoked, they will be safe and harmless.

A strange beast.

The journey from the city to the foot of Taiyi Mountain took quite an hour.

In order to prevent Zhou Shicheng from getting rid of the influence of the "Transfer Curse" and waking up, Shen Lang gave him another "Transfer Curse" after reaching the foot of the mountain, and then listened to his confession with tears in his eyes.

Afterwards, the two of them left their horses in an inn in a small town at the foot of the mountain and hiked into the mountains.

After entering the mountain, Zhou Shicheng cast a "Wind Body Technique" on himself, and also blessed Shen Lang with this technique.

The ninth-grade spell "Wind Body Technique" is of course not as good as the seventh-grade magic "Spiritual Flying Technique", but it can also make the monk as light as a leopard and as agile as a leopard, allowing him to leap on rugged mountain roads at a speed comparable to that of a galloping horse.

With Zhou Shicheng's fifth-level Yuan Shen realm, he can cultivate this ninth-level wind body technique and cast it once, which is enough to last for three quarters of an hour.

Three-quarters of an hour later, the two of them had traveled dozens of miles deep into the mountains and were about to reach their destination.

Zhou Shicheng was about to reissue the Wind Body Technique to himself and Shen Lang when Shen Lang suddenly said:

"Wait a minute, I'll go to the woods for a while."

After saying that, Shen Lang entered the forest.

When he came out again, his behavior became a little stiff and sluggish, his face was expressionless, and his eyes became a little dull.

But Zhou Shicheng was currently under the influence of the "Human Curse" and turned a blind eye to Shen Lang's changes. When he saw him coming out, he directly blessed himself and Shen Lang with the "Wind Body Technique" and continued to move towards the destination.

The dumbfounded Shen Lang followed Zhou Shicheng and flew by. Although the speed was not slow, his movements were as stiff as a zombie and showed no agility at all. Zhou Shicheng still turned a blind eye to this.

at the same time.

In the dense forest, a beautiful little white rabbit held an old bald brush with no hair in its three-petal mouth. It kept a distance of more than 20 feet from Zhou Shicheng and Shen Lang, and moved at an extremely fast speed.

Go hand in hand with the two of them.

The mountain road is rugged and difficult to navigate, and the forest is overgrown with vines and thorns. If you want to move forward in the forest, you have to hold a machete to constantly open the way. You may not be able to walk half a mile in an hour or two.

But none of these can cause any hindrance to the little white rabbit.

Not only can it leap like flying over protruding rocks, entangled tree roots, and uneven forest floors, but it can also fly on tree vines from time to time, and even continuously leap between branches, as agile as an ape.

As for the predators in the dense forest, even the most ferocious poisonous snakes will move out of the way when the little white rabbit passes by. It seems that what is coming is not a little white rabbit that should be their delicacy, but a little white rabbit that is supposed to be their delicacy.

Natural enemies of snakes such as bobcats and hawks.

After flying for about a quarter of an hour, along a winding mountain path and descending into a deep mountain stream, Zhou Shicheng suddenly spoke:

“This is it!”

As he was speaking, in the mist-filled mountain stream ahead, there was a faint sound like a cow roaring, which was the sound of the Manggu Zhu Clam.

Shen Lang remained silent and followed Zhou Shicheng blankly.

Suddenly, Zhou Shicheng stopped and lowered his voice and said:

"It's Ding Hao!"

I saw a tall man in black with disheveled hair and a black iron mask sitting on a rock with a little moss next to the stream at the bottom of the stream. Only his eyes were exposed.

He held a thick-crested sword in one hand and sat motionless. When he heard the sound of Zhou Shicheng and the two stepping on the weeds, he slowly turned his head and looked at Zhou Shicheng and then at Zhou Shicheng with a pair of lifeless gray eyes.

Looking at Shen Lang, he stood up slowly and slowly walked towards Shen Lang without holding the thick sword.

Seeing Ding Hao's tall and burly body walking slowly, Zhou Shicheng asked in a low voice:

"That eunuch Liao Xun is hiding somewhere, what should we do now?"

Shen Lang's face was expressionless and he didn't say a word. He just stood quietly by the stream with his hands behind his back.

When Zhou Shicheng was about to ask again, Ding Hao suddenly raised his palm and slapped it out without saying anything.

Peng!

Amidst the muffled thunderous explosions of air, the violent punching palm force was like a rolling frenzy, blasting towards Shen Lang one after another.

Seeing Ding Hao's sudden move, Zhou Shicheng, who was still under the control of the brainwashing cycle of the "Transferring Curse", turned sideways in front of Shen Lang without thinking. With a thought, a wave of water appeared out of thin air and turned into a "water wave" about ten feet high and five feet wide.

"Curtain", blocked in front of Xi Kong's palm force, covering him and Shen Lang behind.

Peng!

The violent force of the flying palm hit the water curtain, but it only caused the seemingly thin water curtain to tremble slightly, causing ripples, but there was no movement at all.

Seeing this situation, Ding Hao was slightly startled, staring at Zhou Shicheng with his dead gray eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"What are you doing? Don't want that hundred thousand silver dollars?"

One hundred thousand silver dollars?

One hundred thousand silver dollars!

Zhou Shicheng was stunned.

The four characters "One Hundred Thousand Silver Dollars" turned into rolling muffled thunder, echoing repeatedly in his ears. Greed was aroused little by little, and expanded rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a blazing flame of greed, sweeping crazily in the sea of ​​consciousness, and all at once

Breaking through the control of the "Transfer Curse", he suddenly woke up!

"What on earth am I doing? Why should I protect Shen Lang? He has a hundred thousand silver dollars! Have I lost my mind and gone crazy?"

Zhou Shicheng gritted his teeth, and as his expression changed, he suddenly pointed back his hand, and a translucent cone-shaped ripple shot out from his fingertips, stabbing into Shen Lang's chest.

It is the ninth-grade magic "Pointing and Archery" that almost all Eastern monks use!

Shen Lang didn't seem to expect Zhou Shicheng to make a sudden move, and didn't react at all. He only heard a muffled sound, and stabbed Shen Lang in the chest with his finger and arrow, directly stabbing him from front to back.

With blood pouring from his chest and blood mist spurting from behind, Shen Lang lowered his head with a dull expression on his face, looking at the wound on his chest in disbelief, and slowly collapsed to the ground.

Zhou Shicheng's face turned red and he was panting heavily. He stared at Shen Lang who fell to the ground and was bleeding profusely, and shouted in a hissing voice:

"One hundred thousand silver dollars... One hundred thousand silver dollars are in hand!"

At this time, Liao Xun's voice came from the woods nearby:

"Strange, isn't this kid a ruthless character? It is said that he once was chased by more than a hundred people and killed all the pursuers, including several fifth-level warriors and an Izumo Kingdom magician.

...How could such a ruthless character become so vulnerable today?"

Amidst the conversation, Mr. Liao Xun and Eunuch Liao walked out of the woods wearing a black suit without any markings and holding a three-foot thorn with a narrow and thin blade in his hand.

Zhou Shicheng tilted his head fiercely, stared at Eunuch Liao with red eyes, and said sternly:

"Are you questioning my strength? Although my spell cultivation is only at the seventh level, my soul level is already at the fifth level!

"With the blessing of the fifth-level soul power, any ninth-level attack spell is as powerful as a full-strength strike from a fifth-level great warrior! How can Shen Lang, who has only sixth-level martial arts and eighth-level spell cultivation, resist me?"

Pointing and archery'?"

Liao Xun smiled:

"Brother Zhou, don't be so excited. We just feel a little strange. This kid's performance today is far from how fierce he was in Yingzhou..."

Zhou Shicheng snorted coldly, "If I had known he was so vulnerable, I could have killed him in the city!"
To be continued...
