Strange Worlds: The Sequence - Chapter 147

Chapter 147 Golden Toad

The next day.

“Have you caught it yet?”

Chen Yuyan lay on the branch, slept soundly, opened her eyes and shouted.

“Wait, it’s still half a bag away!”

In the nearby creek, Qi Zhou suddenly raised his head, “Give me another quarter of an hour!”

The mountain in the distance is still shrouded in a mist like a white gauze, and the sky is full of morning glow.

There are several bulging cloth bags piled up under the tree, which are full of toads.

It was all caught by Qi Zhou alone.

According to Qi Zhou, he was born in a declining sect “Xiaoshan Sword Sect” in Jiangnan Province. There are only eight members in the entire sect, all surnamed Qi, and the master of the sect is his grandfather.

His grandfather, as the last disciple of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect, did not recruit many disciples and revive the sect for some reason, but chose to live in seclusion in a certain mountain in Jiangnan Province.

And their Xiaoshan Sword Sect has a very weird rule.

No matter who it is, if they go down the mountain, they can no longer enter the mountain gate of Xiaoshan Sword Sect.

Here, “going down the mountain” means to leave the Xiaoshan Sword Sect and go out into the rivers and lakes.

Originally, Qi Zhou lived well in Jiangnan. Unlike others, he had no interest in traveling the rivers and lakes. When he had nothing to do, he liked to hunt some game in the mountains for barbecue, or raise some flowers and plants.

Until a while, Qi Zhou found out that his third uncle, Qi Baiheng, had not written a letter to the sect for two full years after he left the mountain.

There is an agreement in the sect that no matter who it is, since they choose to go down the mountain, they must write a letter to the sect every six months to report their safety.

After all, they are all relatives whose blood is thicker than water.

Qi Zhou was anxious, but he didn’t dare to tell his grandfather that the old man was not in good health. When the news of Qi Zhou’s father Qi Baiguan’s death came back, it caused the old man to faint for a long time. one day.

If something happened to Qi Baiheng again, Qi Zhou couldn’t imagine how Old Master Qi would react when he heard the news.

Qi Zhou was in a hurry, so he wrote a letter to Qi Baihui, the only second aunt who was still struggling in the rivers and lakes, to convey the news, and asked her to find Qi Baiheng’s trace.

Half a month later, Qi Baihui wrote a letter. The content of the letter probably said that Qi Baiheng had entered Fengyuan Pavilion in the northwest, and she went to ask Qi Baiheng about the situation.

But since then, Qi Baihui, like Qi Baiheng, has been silent.

At this time, Qi Zhou also realized that something happened to the second aunt.

Nowadays, no one can use the Xiaoshan Sword School. Mr. Qi is old. Although he used to be the master of Shenyi, his martial arts has been abolished for some reason. He is just an ordinary old man.

Qi Baiguan of his previous generation had died, and Qi Baiheng and Qi Baihui disappeared one after another.

This generation of Qi Zhou also has a younger brother and two younger sisters, let alone relying on Qi Zhou himself.

Qi Zhou was only seven years old at the time.

From that time on, Qi Zhou began to practice martial arts hard, but he knew that his talent for martial arts was not good, so in desperation, he decided to practice body skills hard. Xiaoshan Sword School is most proud of the swordsmanship and learned a few strokes hastily. thing.

He thought very clearly that living is the most important thing.

This is indeed the case. After Qi Zhou’s younger siblings were able to take care of themselves and take care of Mr. Qi, Qi Zhou bid farewell to them and went down the mountain alone. During this period, he encountered hundreds of dangers, big and small. Achievements in lightness kung fu escaped.

“Wait…hundreds?”

Chen Yuyan asked, “How long have you been down the mountain?”

“Well, let me think about it…” Qi Zhou held four or five bags of toads in his hands, raised his head and thought, “It has been about half a year since the day I went down the mountain, right?”

“Small half a year?”

That is to say, since Qi Zhou left the Xiaoshan Sword Sect, he has been in trouble almost every day.

What kind of bad boy is this.

“That’s right, isn’t the world full of dangers like this? When I passed by Taihang Mountain last month, I encountered bandits intercepting and killing caravans more than a dozen times a day. I was so scared that I didn’t dare to stop.”

Qi Zhou still had lingering fears when he said it now, “There’s blood all over the ground, I’m scared when I see it.”

“It’s still comfortable to stay on the mountain.”

Chen Yuyan didn’t answer, but suddenly asked as if thinking of something:

“Then have you ever been injured?”

“Well…” Qi Zhou pondered for a moment, “I really don’t have this one. If you insist on being injured, you accidentally fell off a tree when you were sleeping in the wild. Fortunately, it just rained and the soil was softer. But it still scratched my skin.”

Chen Yuyan nodded, but did not speak.

Some things, go without saying.

He has already guessed Qi Zhou’s identity.

“Why do people from the White Wolf Gang chase you down?”

Speaking of this, Qi Zhou also felt strange.

Following the clues left by Qi Baihui, he searched all the way to Weiyang County, but before the Mingfeng Banquet started, the gate of Fengyuan Pavilion was generally closed to the public, and Qi Zhou had no choice but to settle down here and continue to investigate the situation .

It can only be said that he is worthy of being the “God Catcher” in the future. Qi Zhou’s sensitivity to clues is beyond ordinary people’s imagination. In less than half a month, he has completely touched the traces of Qi Baiheng.

In the end, all the clues point to the Jianghu Gang in Weiyang County——White Wolf Gang.

This gang is not strong on the surface and can only dominate the ordinary people. However, according to Qi Zhou’s investigation, it is found that the White Wolf Gang is inextricably linked with Fengyuan Pavilion.

From a certain point of view, the White Wolf Gang was originally a dog raised by Fengyuan Pavilion, and it was specially used to solve some shady things for the latter.

Moreover, from the fact that they can casually send a dozen exterior fighters to chase and kill Qi Zhou, it can be seen that the true strength of the White Wolf Gang is by no means as bad as it appears on the surface.

Qi Zhou originally planned to sneak into the White Wolf Gang’s residence last night to find out, but the White Wolf Gang found the house where he was staying one step ahead of time and attempted to rob him.

Then there was the scene of meeting Chen Yuyan later.

“Li Shaoxia, I wonder if I can trouble you with something.” Qi Zhou stopped, not far from them was Weiyang County.

Chen Yuyan didn’t raise his head, “You want me to help you with the White Wolf Gang?”

“No, it’s not.” Qi Zhou shook his head, “I want to ask you, if I die in the hands of the White Wolf Gang or Fengyuan Pavilion, you can collect my body if you can. Help me erect a tomb at the foot of Mount Daze in Jiangnan province.”

Chen Yuyan looked up at Qi Zhou, nodded immediately, and said in a deep voice:

“good.”

“Thank you very much.”

Watching Chen Yuyan leave, Qi Zhou stood in place, lifted the sword box behind him, his gaze was firm.

No matter what, he must seek justice for his relatives.

Even if the huge monster Fengyuan Pavilion stood in front of him, even his own life could not be guaranteed.

…

After parting with Qi Zhou, Chen Yuyan took four or five cloth bags filled with toads, circled Weiyang County for half a circle, and rushed towards the north of the county.

“Three miles north of the city, Tianqiong Mountain, Wuya Spring.”

Chen Yuyan spent half an hour, and finally found the location in memory.

White rocks come out of Jingxi, and the red leaves are thin in the cold weather.

Although it is early spring, the trees here are still far from bursting into life.

Looking around, the bark in the forest is black, cracked with countless lines, and looks like scales. When the wind blows, the branches make an old and weak sound.

There is a stream gurgling out of the bluestone. Chen Yuyan turned over the narrow narrow mouth, and what he saw was a deep pool.

The pool water is green and cold.

Chen Yuyan opened the cloth bag full of toads, pinched the end of the bag and poured them all out.

Suddenly, the whole deep pool was full of frogs, and there were countless toads floating densely on the water surface.

After pouring out all four or five bags of toads, Chen Yuyan sat on the bluestone to rest.

Half a quarter of an hour passed, and a golden light suddenly flashed in the pool, and a deafening sound exploded in Chen Yuyan’s ears.

croak—croak—

The cry of the frog was full of arrogance, and it directly covered the voices of all other toads.

Chen Yuyan looked at the toad floating in the center of the pool with a smile on his face.

He has three legs, and the whole body is golden.

It is the strange beast “Three-legged Golden Toad”.

With this three-legged golden toad, Chen Yuyan has the confidence not to be afraid of anyone in Weiyang County.

“There is one last step left, so hurry up.”

Chen Yuyan looked at the three-legged golden toad lying motionless on the water, and turned to leave.

To awaken the three-legged golden toad, one more thing is needed.

It is Dibao Wutongzi.

In addition to Mingfengyan, Chen Yuyan also knew a place where he could get phoenix seeds. The quantity was so small that it was of no use to him, but it was more than enough to wake up the three-legged golden toad.

…

The sky was completely darkened, a kind of closed, stuffy vault.

The residence of the White Wolf Gang is a certain courtyard in the north of the city, and there are many residential houses scattered around it. Ordinary White Wolf Gang members live in it.

“This bad weather is really uncomfortable.”

In the house, the two sat knee-to-eye.

The man who spoke was tall, strong and sturdy. His skin was tanned, and the strong muscles on his arms were exposed. His rough hands were powerfully clenched into two huge iron fists.

This person is the leader of the White Wolf Gang, “Yuan Wolf” Li Tianhan.

“What can we do about the matter of the sky? Travel when the weather is fine, and shelter from the rain when it rains.”

The middle-aged man sitting opposite had a beard on his lips and looked like a rich man.

“What do you say on the mountain, do you have to catch people?” Li Tianhan frowned, “Then Qi Zhou runs faster than a rabbit, even with the magic amulet you gave me, old Yuan, it is very tricky. Brothers went out last night Yes, they haven’t come back yet.”

“The ghost knows which mountain corner I ran to.”

“It’s okay, I’ll send someone to send some better-quality amulets later.” Lao Yuan waved his hand, expressing that it doesn’t matter.

“Come, drink.”

“Drink, drink, drink.”

Just as the two of them were toasting, the door of the wing room was suddenly pushed open violently.

“Which blind idiot, didn’t you see that I was drinking with Yuan Yuanwai?”

Li Tianhan frowned suddenly, but at this time he smelled an extremely strong smell of blood.

Subconsciously, he fell down, kicked the soles of his feet on the ground, and his body disappeared in place in an instant.

On the ground, there was only a sloping pit with more than three inches in the ground, and a dull crash when the soles of the shoes stepped on the ground.

The speed is so fast that ordinary people can only see afterimages and hear the howling wind.

Almost in an instant, Li Tianhan flickered twice, and then rushed to the enemy’s face. The speed of his fists was extremely fast, and in an instant, a series of punches were thrown straight out.

bang bang bang bang—

Several muffled sounds sounded, Li Tianhan only felt that his fist was hitting the iron plate, not only did not cause half damage to the opponent, but he was in pain.

The attack was ineffective, he retreated violently, and it was only when he stood beside Lao Yuan that he really saw the appearance of the comer.

He was dressed in commoner clothes, but on his face was a fox mask for lantern festivals.

“Who is your Excellency, why did you break into my White Wolf Gang?”

Li Tianhan’s scalp was numb. After a short fight just now, he knew very well that he was no match for this person in front of him.

“This chivalrous man, standing behind the White Wolf Gang is Fengyuan Pavilion. You have to think twice before doing anything. We have something to say, so there is no need to be so impulsive.”

Old Yuan also hurriedly persuaded him.

“Are you threatening me?”

Chen Yuyan turned her head, her eyes were indifferent, as if she was looking at a dead person.

“No, no, that’s not what I mean.” Old Yuan heard the words, and cold sweat drenched the back of his clothes, “I mean that a gentleman uses his words but not his hands. Peace is the most important thing for everyone.”

Chen Yuyan sneered, ignored him, and looked at Li Tianhan and said:

“Hand over the phoenix tree, and I will spare your lives.”

But as soon as the voice of this sentence fell, Li Tianhan roared, turned his head and smashed the wall behind him, and took a big step to escape.

As a person who is dedicated to doing dirty work in Fengyuan Pavilion, Li Tianhan was once rewarded by Fengyuan Pavilion for his clean and neat work.

Three phoenix seeds.

Although I don’t know how the mysterious man wearing a fox mask in front of me knew about this, Li Tianhan will never agree to this request.

These phoenix seeds are the key for him to break through the three realms of location, how could he hand them over!

Because of his limited talent, if he didn’t rely on these phoenix seeds, Li Tianhan wouldn’t be able to make any progress in his life.

This wing was specially made by Li Tianhan, in order to be able to escape unexpectedly in case of being cornered.

He has done all kinds of bad things over the years and offended many people, and he has long guessed that such a day will come to him.

As for Lao Yuan, Li Tianhan can only let him ask for more blessings.

Dead friends are not dead poor, Li Tianhan can’t even take care of him, so there is no time to control him.

Besides, Lao Yuan stayed there, and he could delay for a while.

But after Li Tianhan rushed out a few steps, he saw the sound of strong wind coming from behind him.

He turned his head and turned pale with shock.

I saw a frightened head being thrown straight at him. The face on it was Lao Yuan who was drinking with him just now!

“Where do you want to escape to?”

Suddenly, a faint sound sounded from Li Tianhan’s right side.

He just turned his head, and what caught his eyes was a pair of bottomless pupils, which made Li Tianhan fall into them.

A few quarters of an hour later, Chen Yuyan walked out from the side door of the White Wolf Gang’s residence, holding an exquisite jade box in her hand.

Although Li Tianhan’s strength is strong, he can at most be compared with the bottom of the Qingyun list. Compared with Chen Yuyan, he is still far behind.

It doesn’t take much effort to solve him.

Through the deep alley, Chen Yuyan changed into Li Qingsong’s attire and headed for Chaofeng inner city.

The next day’s contest to recruit relatives has already started for some time.

By the time Chen Yuyan arrived, the fight had already started for a while.

The young man standing on the third ring is yesterday’s ring master, who defeated seven challengers in a row, Tang Zhou, a disciple of the Tibetan Qingmen of the Northwest School!

At this time, he had just defeated another martial artist who came to challenge on stage. Counting this match, Tang Zhou had already won eight consecutive victories, and now is the time to be full of ambition.

“Heroes, are there any others coming up to challenge?” He bowed to everyone in the audience and asked loudly.

Everyone in the audience looked at me, I looked at you, no one responded, those with similar skills had already appeared on the stage yesterday, and the rest of them saw Tang Zhou’s skills and knew that they were not opponents, and they were ashamed if they didn’t plan to go on stage. It immediately calmed down.

“Heroes, no one is on stage yet?”

Tang Zhou asked loudly, with a little complacency in his voice, this is a rare opportunity, this time he showed his face a lot, and he will have face when he speaks out in the future.

“Let me come…” At this moment, someone said lightly, the voice seemed not loud, but Tang Zhou on the ring could hear clearly.

Tang Zhou Yi was stunned, and looked towards the color shed, only to see a young man in an animal skin suit standing up and walking down the color shed step by step.

This man is not tall, nor is he a burly man, and he walks unhurriedly.

There was no fancy move like those people did when they came on stage, they just walked down the canopy step by step, and then walked onto the ring step by step.

His appearance is considered handsome, but he is a bit gloomy. Even in broad daylight, there is a gloomy chill around his body.

Tang Zhou was certainly not an idiot when he was hanging out in the martial arts world. Seeing the man walking up step by step, his expression became more serious.

Although the man walked leisurely, there were very few flaws in his movements.

“This young hero!” Tang Zhou didn’t dare to neglect when he saw the man stepping into the ring, and quickly saluted, “I don’t know what the young hero should be called?”

“Chuhe.” The young man bowed his hands to Tang Zhouyi and responded lightly.

“Chuhe?” Tang Zhou froze for a moment, his expression changed, “‘Tiger’ Chuhe?”

“Hmm…” The young man nodded feebly, “Someone called me that.”

“Tiger, Tiger!” Hearing this name, the audience was in chaos. This name has gradually become famous in the northwest martial arts in recent years.

This Chuhe can be regarded as a person who is both good and evil. Since his debut, he has done everything.

Sometimes, they will be happy with their enemies, and they will draw their swords to help when they see injustice, but sometimes they will do things like robbing houses, which is unpredictable.

What really made him famous was his ruthless skill. No matter good or evil, as long as he fought against him, very few people could escape from his hands.

In the words of Chu He, he grew up in the dense forest since he was a child, and the beasts he encountered either killed you or killed him, so he never had the habit of keeping his hands.

After going back and forth, Chuhe got the name of a tiger, which made countless people terrified.

However, no matter what Chuhe’s reputation is, he is indeed a master, a real master, far more powerful than those small fish and shrimps before.

Tang Zhou’s face was solemn, he looked at Chuhe, hesitating again and again in his heart.

Chu He didn’t speak, but stood quietly with his hands down, standing on the ring, his eyes fixed on the ground, as if he didn’t want to look at Tang Zhou more.

It’s just that the cold air is blowing out from the body, and even some people in the audience can feel the wind blowing around the Chu River.

Finally, Tang Zhou Zhou gritted his teeth and cupped his hands towards Chu He, “Chu Shaoxia is very powerful, and I am no match for you. This time, I admit defeat!”

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and left the ring.

Seeing this scene, there was an uproar in the audience. This Chuhe just stepped into the arena without even moving a finger, and forcibly scared away a martial artist from the three external scenes. Such a skill is really shocking. Terrified.

Chuhe didn’t show the slightest expression on his face, as if Tang Zhou should step down. He raised his hands and clenched his fists, but didn’t speak to the audience. He just stood there quietly, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

From now on, the guards in the three arenas will all be top 100 in the Qing Yun Ranking!

“Pulsatilla” week no worries!

“Little Thunder God” Zheng Yi!

“Tiger” Chuhe!
