Chapter 44: Monster Forest
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Xiao Qiang quickly said, "Xiao Chen, pay attention to your attitude. Since you have already got the Linghu cub, don't hurry up and apologize to Senior Liu."
The meaning of Xiao Qiang's words is to scold Xiao Chen on the bright side, but in fact, he has already acquiesced in the fact that he obtained the Soul Blood Jade, just to give Liu Fengyin a step down.
Xiao Chen's wisdom, how could he not understand the meaning of the elder, he placed the spirit fox in his arms on the table lightly, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Senior Liu, just now this junior doesn't know what's good or bad, and his words are rude. I'm sorry for being offended."
Liu Fengyin snorted coldly, took the momentum back and did not speak, the expression on his face did not improve, obviously he was still extremely upset.
"Senior Liu, this is a mid-level Xuanjie soul soldier. I think you don't seem to have a weapon in hand. Why don't you feel wronged?" Xiao Qiang took out the giant sword from the Tang family from the space ring in his hand. said.
Liu Fengyin looked coldly at the mid-level mysterious soul soldier that Xiao Qiang handed over, but did not reach out to pick it up. He lost the six-tailed spirit fox, which made him unable to accept the huge gap in front of him for a while.
"Uncle, Senior Liu seems to despise this mysterious soul soldier. It just so happens that my nephew's soul soldier has just been destroyed, so why should Senior Liu give it to the boy?" Xiao Chen looked at Liu Fengyin and refused to pick it up. Said half-truth.
Although Liu Fengyin was angry in his heart, he didn't attack this time, he got up and left. He didn't see any movement, and the giant sword in Xiao Qiang's hand flew towards him automatically.
Xiao Chen secretly said a pity in his heart. After all, he is also a soul soldier of the middle level of the mysterious rank, and it can be said to be a top-level existence in this Mohe City.
Xiao Qiang was relieved when he saw that Liu Fengyin finally accepted the giant sword, and turned back to teach Xiao Chen: "Xiao Chen, you must not be so rude to Elder Liu in the future, he is the same generation as your grandfather. Yes, the basic etiquette must not be dropped."
Xiao Chen disapproved in his heart, this Liu Fengyin, relying on his own strength, even wanted to grab something from a junior, and really didn't like him.
Seeing that Xiao Chen didn't speak, Xiao Qiang also knew what he was thinking, and explained: "Elder Liu, although it is indeed a bit excessive in some aspects, I can assure you that he himself will never do anything against the Xiao family. things."
Xiao Chen didn't want to entangle more in this regard, so he casually said a few words, but when he turned around, he saw Xiao Yulan holding the spirit fox cub and playing with her.
It's a little funny in my heart, it seems that girls have no resistance to these cute things, whether it is this world or the original earth is the same.
The elders are also very interested in the spirit fox cubs. After all, they are sixth-order spirit beasts. When they grow up, they can be said to be a powerful help for the Xiao family.
The topic of chat between the three began to turn to the six-tailed spirit fox cub. Xiao Chen did not hide how to obtain the spirit fox cub, and informed the two of the killing of Tang Yuan.
Xiao Yulan didn't show any expression after hearing this. In her opinion, it was not a pity for such a person to die. However, Xiao Qiang's expression changed after hearing Tang Yuan's identity, and he was thinking about something.
Xiao Chen saw that Xiao Qiang's face changed, and he was a little puzzled. Just as he was about to ask a question, a child of the Xiao family rushed over from outside the hall, holding an envelope in his hand and handing it to Xiao Qiang anxiously.
"Elder, this is an urgent letter sent by the second elder."
A letter from the second elder?
A trace of puzzlement flashed in Xiao Qiang's eyes. What did the second elder send a letter to at this time? The second elder of the Xiao family worked in the county master's mansion of Qizi County all the year round, and was a popular person beside the county master.
In terms of prestige of the Xiao family, these two elders have higher prestige than the first elder, Xiao Qiang, because the Xiao family's biggest backer is the county master of Qizi County. One elder.
Xiao Qiang opened the letter and hurriedly read it. After reading the contents clearly, his eyes became dignified. After reading it, his face was half happy and worried.
"What's the matter, what was written in the letter?" Xiao Yulan asked her father with a frown as she put down Linghu and asked worriedly.
Xiao Chen also looked at Xiao Qiang suspiciously,
I don't know what was written in the letter, which made the elder's expression so solemn, and he never saw such an expression when the mountain was closed.
Xiao Qiang put away the letter and said solemnly, "The trial in the dark and deep forest will start early. This is the first-hand news I got from the county master, and it will be spread to Mohe City in a few days."
When Xiao Chen heard the words, his heart sank. The trials in the dark and deep forest, in the memory of this body, he knew a little bit.
The dark and deep forest is a monster forest in Qizi County. There is a space crack that runs through the demon world and the Tianwu continent. The demonic energy from the demon world in the crack has polluted all the spirit beasts and trees in the forest.
Under the pollution of demon qi, these spirit beasts all turned into terrifying beasts. After they became demon beasts, all the spirituality of spirit beasts disappeared, leaving only the nature of slaughter and tyranny.
The strength will also become more powerful. The strength of a second-order monster is comparable to that of a third-order spirit beast, and it is always in a state of rage, extremely fierce.
Some trees in the forest have also mutated under the pollution of demonic energy. Terrifying tree spirits, piranhas with a height of more than ten meters, are everywhere.
After the robbery, there were many space cracks on the Tianwu Continent. The larger space cracks were all sealed by the seniors in the Three Holy Lands, and they were listed as forbidden places and no outsiders were allowed to enter.
But there are too many space cracks like this on the mainland. It is unrealistic for the people of the Three Holy Lands to seal them all. Some smaller space cracks are preserved like this.
These smaller space cracks, until there is no major accident, the Three Holy Lands will not send people to seal them.
The space crack in the dark forest is such a small space crack. The demonic energy will only spread inside the forest and will not radiate back out.
As long as ordinary people don't go inside the forest, there will be no danger. But if you leave it alone, when the number of monsters increases to a certain number, it will walk out of the forest and threaten the surrounding towns.
Therefore, all countries in the Tianwu Continent will send special personnel to guard these monster beast forests. Once they find abnormal reactions, they will send powerful warriors to clean up these monster beasts.
The dark forest experience means that when these monsters are cleared, the forces in the surrounding towns will send the young children of the family to the periphery of the monster forest for training.
The environment of the Monster Beast Forest is harsh, and the monsters are extremely ferocious, but there are basically no very powerful monsters on the periphery. It is a very good training place for young warriors.
During the training, each clan would compare with each other. It can be said that it is a big test for the major clans. If the Xiao family's performance in the training is very bad, the news will soon spread throughout the entire Mohe City.
It will cause a great blow to the reputation of the entire Xiao family. What's more serious is that during the training, the county lord of Qizi County and the city lords of several surrounding cities will appear.
As the largest force in Mohe City, the Xiao family cannot fail to achieve good results. If they can't get the first place, they will leave the impression that they are not strong enough and have no successors.
This is also the reason why Xiao Qiang is both happy and worried. If the performance is good enough this time, the morale of the Xiao family can be greatly increased before the appointment ten years ago. Otherwise, it will leave a huge shadow on the Xiao family.
Xiao Chen retracted his thoughts, but he was not timid in his heart, and asked with some anticipation, "When will the trial start?"
"Seven days later, this is the first-hand news from the county master. It will take about two days to reach Mohe City. Both of you should pack up and go down the mountain as soon as possible."
"Both of you will participate in this trial. The environment in the Monster Beast Forest is extremely harsh. I have to go back to discuss and prepare early." Xiao Qiang looked at the two and said.
Although Xiao Chen only has the realm of a middle-rank warrior, he defeated Xiao Jian, a high-rank warrior when he was a low-rank warrior. Now that he has been promoted to a middle-rank warrior, his strength will naturally increase.
Xiao Yulan had awakened her martial arts at the age of five, and her strength had already reached the middle rank of a martial artist. Such a realm could definitely be regarded as a top-notch existence in the entire Mohe City.
Whether the Xiao family can achieve good results in this experience depends to a large extent on the performance of the two of them. Xiao Qiang looked at them with anticipation in their eyes.
"Then the Tang family came to make trouble in our Qijiao Mountain this time. How will the account be calculated?" Xiao Yulan always remembered the Tang family's injury to Xiao Chen and the damage to her wooden house.
Listening to Xiao Qiang's words now, it is obvious that she wants to let go of this matter and focus on the dark forest experience seven days later, Xiao Yulan is a little dissatisfied.
Xiao Qiang pondered: "The three elders already sent someone to the Tang family yesterday. It is not suitable for a head-on battle with the Tang family in this troubled season. Yu Lan, don't mention this again."
Xiao Yulan pouted, but did not speak, but she felt a little resentful at her father's words in her heart.
Xiao Chen also recognized the words of the first elder in his heart. The man in blue suddenly appeared in the Qijiao Mountain Range and came together with the Zhang family.
Until now, the Tang family suddenly violated the agreement with the Xiao family, and entered the Qijiao Mountain in a big way to capture the six-tailed spirit fox.
And the mysterious woman Feng Feixue, who connected all of this together, the small Mohe City was indeed not as calm as it seemed, and the situation was obviously not good for the Xiao family.
Therefore, he never thought of going to the Tang family immediately for revenge. First, his strength was not enough. Without the help of the Xiao family, he personally wanted to shake the Tang family, but his hope was a little slim.
Second, in this Tang family's operation, although Xiao Chen was almost driven to a dead end several times in the past, in the end, he didn't have much to lose himself, and he completely destroyed their operation.
But the Tang family's action was a heavy loss. The two elders and the eldest son of the Tang family died tragically. The precious soul blood jade also fell into the hands of Xiao Chen, and the carefully designed capture plan also failed completely.
In the past, the well water did not violate the river water, but this time, they are going to turn their faces completely, but the situation at hand is delicate. If they want to come, they will restrain their emotions and will not act rashly.
