Chapter 55: Thousand-curved vine
The dust settled, revealing the ground to be broken and shattered, with gravel and ashes everywhere, and the huge pit was extremely dazzling in the restaurant.
This was the destructive power brought by the attack of the three of them just now, but there were things on the ground that shouldn't have appeared, a few pieces of torn robe cloth!
The laughter in the restaurant was like thunder, and there was no sign of stopping. Instead, it became louder and louder, pointing at the vigilant seven people from Zhongtong Jianmen who couldn't stop laughing.
At this time, a child happened to pass by and looked inside curiously. He was stunned and said to the woman next to him: "Mom, why don't these uncles wear pants?"
The mother quickly covered the child's eyes and pulled him away, "Don't look at them, they are perverts!"
That's right, there were seven naked men standing in the middle of the restaurant...
They were on guard against Shi Yan just now, but now they reacted, and felt a chill in their lower body. When they looked down, they found that their belt and the hem of their robes had been damaged at some point, and their pants had fallen to the ground. It was not just one person who was like this, but all seven of them.
Their faces flushed and they hurriedly pulled up their trousers, at a speed that was surprisingly much more enjoyable than the previous attack.
“Hahahaha…” The laughter of the people in the restaurant continued. The fat man was chubby and full of flesh. When he turned red, he looked like a suckling pig that had just escaped from a steamer. He squinted his eyes, raised his sword and shouted incoherently to the surroundings, “Shut up, everyone, shut up. Don’t you know that we are from Zhongtong Jianmen?”
"What we're looking at is your Zhongtongjianmen disciples taking off their pants!" someone in the crowd shouted.
"Yeah, can people from Zhongtong Jianmen take off their pants anywhere in public?" another person started to make trouble.
Several people's faces turned purple, especially the fat man, who looked like an eggplant in clothes.
Shi Yan quietly returned to Ye Yier's side and smiled proudly at Ye Yier, Mingxiang and the others, "How about it, this trick is amazing!"
Several people blushed and spat at the same time, "Rogue!"
Shi Yan said aggrievedly: "Why are you calling me a hooligan? It's not like I was the one who got naked in the crowd."
Mingxiang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Only a gangster could come up with this idea. If you're not a gangster, who is?"
"That's right!" Ye Yier also followed suit and said, "Don't you see there are so many girls here? You'll get stye if you look at these losers!"
"Pervert!" Zi'er was even more rude. Shi Yan wondered what grudge he had with Zi'er that made her target him everywhere.
Even Xiao Li, who had been silent, looked at Shi Yan awkwardly with the corner of her mouth curled up. It was obvious that she was saying something, but based on previous experience, Shi Yan knew that what she said was almost the same as what they said.
"Shut up!" Suddenly, there was a shout in the arena, and a huge white figure jumped into the arena, pressing the seven people under him. Shi Yan looked up and was immediately shocked. It was a three-meter-tall saber-toothed white tiger, with black stripes on its white fur, bucket-like eyes, and two long, snow-white, top-grade flying swords made of black ice. Each claw was like a blade. It was eight inches long and flashed with a cold light. The word "king" on its forehead was particularly dazzling, exuding an invisible power, the power of a king!
Suddenly, the restaurant fell silent. Under the gaze of the saber-toothed white tiger, everyone seemed unable to straighten their backs. Even with so many people, their momentum was no match for it.
A white light slowly floated down. Zhong Yue glared at the seven people with hatred and snorted coldly, "You have disgraced Zhongtong Jianmen. Get out of here!"
Those people were pinned under the saber-toothed tiger, unable to move, and the saber-toothed tiger had no intention of moving away. The unlucky seven people had to crawl out from under the saber-toothed tiger with difficulty, and then ran away holding their pants.
Zhong Yue glanced around, his eyes were as sharp as swords. Everyone who was swept by him felt a chill, as if the edge of a sword was passing by them. Everyone swallowed their saliva and retreated together, not daring to touch his sharp edge.
His eyes scanned around and finally stopped at Shi Yan.
"Who am I? I'm the newcomer of Huajian Sect, a disciple of Sect Leader Hua." Zhong Yue clasped his fists and stepped forward. "My apologies, no wonder these useless people are no match for you!"
Shi Yan smiled coldly. His words sounded like a sign of weakness, but in fact, from his tone, all this was just
The disciples of the head of his Huajian Sect were using their status to pressure others, but they only took their status into consideration and did not dare to use their full strength, so they failed. Unexpectedly, this Zhong Yue was much smarter than his brother. Shi Yan remembered that at the beginning, Zhong Ming lost his composure after being provoked by the words of the two brothers Gao Yuan and Gao Jin from Qingmeng Villa, which led to his carelessness and he died in the third move of Shi Yan.
No wonder Zhong Yue, who has reached the ninth level of foundation building, could become the disciple of the law enforcement elder; while Zhong Ming, despite having a good brother, has only reached the meridian transformation stage and is only an outer disciple in Zhongtong Jianmen.
After hearing his words, people around looked over.
"So it's him, the disciple of the Huajian Sect's leader!"
"He is the lucky guy? He is the only male in the entire sect?"
"That's his identity. No wonder he was unharmed just now."
"No matter how powerful Zhongtong Sword Sect is, ordinary disciples are just ordinary disciples. How can their status be higher than that of the Sect Master's personal disciples?"
The masses are the most blind, they will go in whichever direction the wind blows, and they are also the easiest to fool and appease. As Shi Yan thought, he managed to make the masses go around in circles with just a few words, eliminating the negative effects of Zhongtong Jianmen.
Shi Yan smiled and stepped forward, "Huajian Sect is just a small sect in Zimu Liuhua Territory, it is not like the Zhongtong Jian Sect, which is a big sect. Once the name comes out, people will retreat."
"Haha, Brother Shi Yan, you're joking." Zhong Yue's eyes turned cold and he stomped his right foot lightly. An invisible impact came from the ground towards Shi Yan.
"Are you here to sneak up on me?" Shi Yan frowned slightly. The seven people before were not so bad. They were just in the foundation building stage and could not pose any threat to him. At most, they were just a little trouble. But Zhong Yue was not like them. Zhong Yue was in the ninth level of the foundation building stage and was just one step away from entering the Qi Condensation Stage. Shi Yan was in the eighth level of the Meridian Transformation Stage and was no match for him.
Bang, as if he was hit hard by a charging cloud beast, his blood was boiling. The difference in cultivation was too big, and Shi Yan had to hold on with great difficulty.
"Be careful!" Zi'er suddenly stepped forward and pressed one hand against Shi Yan's back. Shi Yan felt a stream of air flowing into his body from behind, and he felt much more relaxed. Mingxiang, Ye Yi'er, and Xiao Li realized that Zhong Yue was playing a trick, and they quickly stepped forward to help.
Shi Yan looked at them gratefully.
"Zhong Yue, are the people in Zhongtong Jianmen only capable of doing such shameful things?" Mingxiang asked Zhong Yue harshly while feeling angry.
Zhong Yue raised his eyebrows, but relaxed after a moment, "Fairy, you misunderstood. I was just joking just now."
As he said that, he withdrew his strength and left the restaurant on the first floor with the saber-toothed white tiger. Shi Yan suddenly felt the pressure recede like a tide, and his whole body suddenly relaxed, but the remaining force still made him spit out a large mouthful of blood.
"Shi Yan!"
"Shi Yan, are you okay?"
The girls quickly supported him and asked nervously.
Shi Yan smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay." However, his chest still ached slightly.
As a result of what happened today, we couldn’t have lunch, so we had to find an inn to stay in.
Nothing happened that night, and everyone got up early the next morning. After a night of recovery, Shi Yan was completely fine, so they headed to the Hundred Trees Forest as quickly as possible.
When looking for a restaurant yesterday, Shi Yan specially bought a jade map, the most detailed one, which cost him five second-grade spirit stones. It hurt a lot, but if he wanted to get familiar with the Hundred Trees Forest as soon as possible, he had no choice but to spend this money.
Fortunately, the money was well spent, as the description inside is very detailed.
Which area has which spirit beasts, which attributes of spirit beasts are concentrated in which place, which places are dangerous, which places have shortcuts, etc. are all marked out. After reading this map jade slip, Shi Yan felt that this jade slip was sold at a low price. This is a map that was created step by step by the predecessors. All the dangers were experienced personally. I don’t know how many people died before such a detailed map appeared for future generations to use. Five second-grade spirit stones are indeed cheap. How can the hard work of the ancestors be worth so few spirit stones? If it were Shi Yan, he would definitely be able to sell it for twenty second-grade spirit stones, or even more!
With the map, things became much more convenient. They moved forward without any hindrance. In just one morning, they had reached the deepest part of the periphery.
"Stop!" Shi Yan raised one hand, took out the map and looked at it, and said, "We're here. It's marked on the map that Qianqu Teng is nearby. Everyone be careful!"
From a distance, Shi Yan could vaguely feel the fresh air blowing from the front, with the natural fragrance of plants, which was refreshing and indescribably comfortable. Taking a deep breath of fresh air, all 36,000 pores in the body seemed to be stretched out, and every pore was comfortable. The feeling was indescribably comfortable. After walking a few steps forward, the air became more comfortable, and the refreshing feeling with the moist fragrance of soil constantly stimulated everyone's sense of smell.
However, this burst of fragrance hides a huge danger!
"Hold your breath! This is the agarwood of Qianqu vine!" Shi Yan shouted hurriedly.
Everyone was shocked and held their breath!
Agarwood is the skill of the Qianqu vine. It is fresh and natural, and makes people addicted, making the prey fall asleep. Then the Qianqu vine will entangle the sleeping prey and use the sharp thorns on the vine to absorb nutrients.
"Get ready for battle, we're already beside Qianqu Teng!" Shi Yan said in a low voice.
Ye Yier was a little nervous because it was her first time to come to this deep forest to deal with a "strange beast" and she quietly held Shi Yan's hand. Shi Yan felt the sweat in his palm, patted her palm and smiled, "Don't worry, I will protect you if there is any danger!"
Ye Yier smiled sweetly, "Yes!"
At this moment, Mingxiang suddenly shouted, "Here it comes!"
