Chapter Eleven: Encounter with Danger! Part Three

  "Not bad." The robust man smiled and said: "I heard Zhang Qing say that he invited a martial artist yesterday, who will arrive soon."

  Warrior?

  The lean middle-aged man was taken aback, then furrowed his brow and said with a slightly gloomy face: "I didn't expect that Captain Long still doesn't trust me. He actually invited a martial artist to preside over the situation. In that case, let this martial artist lead the way for you." With that, he turned around and was about to leave.

  Long Jian didn't expect him to have such a big temper, and hastily stepped forward to hold him back, saying: "Brother Zhou, don't be angry, I'm also worried that there will be too many casualties. With warriors coming, the casualties will be greatly reduced, and with Brother Zhou's cooperation, it will definitely be foolproof."

  "Hmph." The lean middle-aged man's expression was warm, but his face remained cold as he said, "In that case, I wonder if Dragon Captain's words count for anything? I want the snake gall, and I don't want it to be transferred to this warrior at the last minute."

  "Of course not." Long Jian hastily said: "I never change what I say."

  "That's good." The thin middle-aged man felt relieved.

  At this time, two figures appeared in the distance, Wu Ren led the way and walked to the front of Long Jian, saying loudly: "Captain, Wuzhe has arrived."

  Everyone around, including the thin middle-aged man, turned their heads to look over.

  "Huh?" Everyone was taken aback.

  "A young man?" Long Jian looked at Zhang Qing beside him in puzzlement.

  Zhang Qing nodded and gave him a definite look.

  Long Jian, despite his inner doubts, did not ask further and stepped forward to greet Tang Lin. Seeing Tang Lin's purple lion skin cloak, he was secretly shocked and knew that Zhang Qing had spoken the truth. He hastily paid his respects, saying: "Long Jian greets the esteemed Wuzhe."

  Tang Lin nodded slightly and said, "You are the captain of the Dragon Sword Team, aren't you?"

  "Yes." Long Jian smiled and said: "Thank you very much for your help this time, General Wu. I am deeply grateful to you."

  Tang Lin waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite."

  Long Jian smiled. At this time, the thin middle-aged man next to him walked up, looked Tang Lin up and down, and asked Long Jian: "The martial arts master you mentioned is this little kid?"

  Wu Ren, who was standing beside them, looked displeased and interrupted, "Zhou Ji, how can you be so disrespectful to Master Wu? Don't judge a person by their appearance. Although Master Wu is young, he is incredibly talented and surpasses even Xie Jianfeng of Longxiang City. You mustn't underestimate him."

  Zhou Ji's face fell, and he said, "I'm speaking, what right do you have to interrupt me?"

  "Wu Ren, you step down first." Long Jian said in a low voice.

  Although he spoke lightly, he carried an air of unquestionable authority. Wu Ren could only glare at Zhou Ji with anger and retreat with gritted teeth.

  "Warrior Lord." Longjian looked at Tanglin and said humbly, "Are we ready to set off?"

  "Hmm." Tang Lin casually waved his hand.

  Zhou Ji glanced at Tang Lin, a cold smile spreading from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't say anything else. Although he had the skills to be confident, martial artists were still martial artists, protected by the imperial court, and being an adventurous martial artist was a serious crime.

  In this way, a group of people began to walk into the misty swamp. Tang Lin followed behind Long Jian and Zhang Qing, with several others walking together, while the rest held weapons and surrounded Tang Lin and the others, and Zhou Ji led the way in front.

  Tang Lin looked over at him and found that Zhou Ji indeed had some skills, carefully checking the road conditions along the way, and from time to time picking up sand and stones on the ground with his nose, sniffing them a few times. This was a high-level hunting skill that only skilled hunters were good at.

  "There's a demonic leopard ahead." Zhou Ji suddenly stopped and turned to look at Long Jian, furrowing his brow. "We'll have to take a detour."

  "Yao Tong Bao?" Long Jian's eyebrows furrowed.

  This is a monster of the demon level, extremely fast, and can release scorching rays from its pupils, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

  "It's a detour." Long Jian was hesitant, "This misty swamp is too big, taking a detour will delay us for too long, and who knows what worse situation we might encounter."

  Think thrice.

  "Alright." Long Jian could only give up and said to the people beside him: "Prepare to go around."

  Zhou Ji immediately took the lead in finding a route and proceeded for about a kilometer before encountering the beast's aura again, forcing him to detour once more.

  "This person's experience is quite rich." Tang Lin said while looking at the crowd, "It saves a lot of trouble, otherwise it would be a waste of time to fight one by one."

  Long Jian smiled at Zhang Qing and said, "Fortunately, there is Mr. Zhou; otherwise, before we even reached the territory of the Thousand Scales White Tail Python, more than half of our men would have been lost."

  Zhang Qing nodded in deep agreement.

  "Hmm?" Tang Lin's gaze went forward thirty zhangs to a tree, relying on his extraordinary eyesight, he could see the fine texture of this tree.

  "There's a demonic aura." Tang Lin's eyes flashed with a white mist, and the world in his eyes changed completely. His vision could clearly see that on the tree, a rolling green demonic aura was emitted, "That is a demonized creature transformed, looking at this degree of demonic aura, it's not a thousand-year-old tree demon."

  Tang Lin watched as Zhou Ji walked towards the tree, unsure whether he should speak up and remind him.

  This week, however, seemed to have not noticed, walked to the front of this big tree, pinched up the sand under the tree and sniffed it, did not find anything, gave a "forward" gesture to the team behind.

  Tang Lin furrowed his brow.

  "Don't go." He whispered to Longjian beside him: "That tree is a monster in disguise."

  Long Jian was taken aback, looking at the tree in surprise and asked Tang Lin: "Is it really a monster transformation?" He had seen Zhou Ji's abilities before, if not for Tang Lin being a warrior, he wouldn't have paid attention to this remark.

  "If you have a bow and arrow, shooting an arrow at that tree will tell you." Tang Lin said.

  Long Jian immediately said: "Bring me the bow."

  Someone handed him a bow beside him.

  He nocked the arrow, drew his bow and shot the dragon sword at that big tree. With his arm strength, he could still pierce a hundred paces through the poplar forest. The arrow whizzed out and hit the big tree.

  "Nothing happened." Long Jian looked at the arrowhead inlaid on the big tree, glanced at Tang Lin, but didn't say anything else. He just shook his head and handed the bow to that person, preparing for the team to continue moving forward.

  "Hiss..."

  A sudden change occurred, and the big tree suddenly exuded a gurgling green liquid, emitting a fishy smell. Immediately afterwards, a low growl was heard, like a ferocious beast.

  Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

  Leaves on the big tree flew like knife blades.

  "Not good!" Long Jian's face changed, and he hastily said: "Shield formation!"

  Around a dozen people immediately raised the shields in their hands, piecing them together to form a huge oval shield that blocked the sharp leaves from the crowd.

  "It's a monster." Everyone was shocked in their hearts, hastily grasping their weapons tightly, preparing to respond.

  The crowd was still more than twenty zhang away from the big tree, but Zhou Ji was already under the tree. When he saw the leaves shaking, he felt a sense of alarm in his heart and quickly dodged to the side of the dense forest, avoiding the dense foliage shooting at him. At this moment, he suddenly felt the grass around him trembling, and countless vines were entwining towards him.

  "Not good!" Zhou Ji was shocked and hastily waved the sharp sword in his hand, chopping towards the vines.

  A sharp sword cut through the vines, opening wound after wound, from which a bright green blood seeped out. Zhou Ji's body was tightly entwined by the vines, almost unable to breathe.

  At this time, the big tree changed its appearance and transformed into a ferocious tiger with a bloody mouth, swallowing Zhou Ji whole.

  "Ah——" Zhou Ji was so frightened that his soul escaped, and he cried out in a shrill voice: "Long Jian, save me——"

  Whoosh!

  A flash of sword light flashed by, shooting from a distance to cut off the vines entwining him. Tang Lin's body flashed, and he tossed his collar towards Long Jian not far away, then reached out to grab the war knife inserted into the ground and hacked it at the fierce tiger.

  The fierce tiger saw Tang Lin, and a hint of fear flashed in its eyes. It let out a loud roar, jumped several times with its body, and quickly disappeared into the distant forest.

  Tang Lin didn't chase after him and turned back to return to his team.

  Zhou Ji was supported by Long Jian, his whole body covered in sweat, his face pale, and he was panting heavily. The life-and-death situation just now had almost made his legs go weak.

  Seeing Tang Lin approaching, Zhou Ji's heart was somewhat unpalatable.

  "Thank you, Lord Wu." Longjian bowed to Tanglin and said sincerely: "Just now, if it wasn't for you, Brother Zhou would have fallen into the tiger's mouth."

  Tang Lin waved his hand casually and said, "Let's continue on our way."

  Zhou Ji glanced at Tang Lin, his face looking unpleasant, and only said in a low voice: "Thank you." He then straightened up and led the way again, this time walking even more cautiously.

  Before long, Tang Lin and the others arrived at a clear lake. The setting sun shone from outside the forest, like beams of light, reflecting on the surface of the lake, sparkling with waves.

  "The White-tailed Thousand-scaled Serpent is right here." Zhou Ji pointed at the lake and said solemnly.

  Tang Lin took a glance at the lake.

  The lake is about a dozen or so zhang wide, with clear water that allows you to see the cobblestones at the bottom of the lake. In the middle of the lake, however, it's pitch black, clearly indicating that the bottom of the lake is deeply rugged.

  "We need to lure the White-tailed Python out first." Long Jian said to the crowd, "Everyone form a line and stand in position as we practiced before. Zhang Qing, take a few people to throw stones into the lake and lure it out."

  Zhang Qing nodded and called a few people over, immediately searching for stones by the lake.

  "The weaknesses of this White-tailed Python are the seven-inch, abdomen and eyes, three places." Zhou Jicheng said seriously: "Later, concentrate on attacking these three places, and we will definitely be able to kill it."

  Long Jian Zheng looked at Tang Lin beside him and said, "I'll be troubling you later."

  "It doesn't matter." Tang Lin waved his hand, thinking to himself: "According to Xiao Hui's words, the true weakness of this Qian Lin White Tail Python should be on its tail."

  On Hunting Experience

  Who can compare with Xiao Hui as a demon hunter?

  At this time, the stones thrown by Zhang Qing and others hit the lake surface, causing a huge wave. Tang Lin stared at the center of the lake and saw a giant black shadow as thick as a water bucket, swimming towards the shore. Its body was 7-8 zhang long, extremely frightening.

  "It's coming out." Long Jian said in a low voice.

  "It's very agile, we must first trap it on land later."

  Tang Lin stood on the shore, gazing at the increasingly approaching Qianlin White-tailed Python, licked his lips and turned to Zhou Ji beside him: "Bow for me."

  Zhou Ji subconsciously handed it over to him, and only realized after handing it over, saying: "Could it be that you want to use a bow and arrow to kill it?"

  ……

  The third update is sent, followed by the fourth update. Looking at this situation, it's estimated that it will be after 12 o'clock. Brothers can rest first and look again tomorrow to avoid delaying work or study. Finally, continue to ask for votes...
