The custom-made arrowhead was triangular in shape and had a barb on it. Once it hit someone, it would cause them unbearable pain. Even if it was successfully pulled out, blood would still flow. How could a bandit's den in battle have good medical conditions? If the bleeding was not stopped in time, there would be only one way to go, but this was exactly what Xia Xiao wanted.

At first, several blacksmiths were a little confused when they saw the design that Xia Xiao drew. They rarely saw such arrows and were not even sure they could shoot them. For this reason, the craftsmen also tested it specially, but it really didn't work. So Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang not only ordered 100 arrows, but also two specially made crossbows.

The crossbow was not light, and an iron plate was added to one side, which could be used as a shield. It was already placed against the wall. I have to say that the blacksmith was quite efficient, and he delivered it in one afternoon.

Shu Shuang inserted the last arrow into the quiver and placed the three quivers next to the crossbow. Then, the task was completed and she brushed the dust off her hands.

“Everything is ready.”

"Practice now."

Xia Xiao handed a small red medicine pill to Shu Shuang. The latter did not stretch out her hand, but stretched her neck, opened her little mouth and took it in.

This is the Zhu Yuan fruit pill that Shu Shuang made for Xia Xiao before coming to Rongcheng. It contains some vital energy that can be absorbed. The pill itself can also strengthen the muscles and bones of the absorber.

Seeing Shu Shuang biting her lower lip and giggling, Xia Xiao also swallowed one and sat cross-legged on the ground.

When he was in the imperial capital, he ate a lot of medicinal pills and ate a lot of spiritual medicines and fruits, but he couldn't practice at that time, so they were all wasted. Fortunately, some of the medicinal power was accumulated. When he swallowed the Zhu Yuan Pill, they all rushed up, making Xia Xiao feel hot and horny.

The wound on his leg healed completely, and the vitality in his body accumulated more and more. Xia Xiao, who had not taken any medicine or elixir for more than a year, tasted an extraordinary sweetness.

Entering the familiar forest, Xia Xiao saw Ju Mang. The little guy had grown up again and was already as tall as his knees. Seeing Xia Xiao coming, Ju Mang happily circled around Xia Xiao.

After playing with it for a while, Xia Xiao sat on the altar and looked at the sky. Only in this forest could he enjoy absolute tranquility, without anyone disturbing him, talking to him, or framing him.

"Jumang, do you remember the night before last?"

"Remember! Remember!"

"The ability I used that night must have been your Wood Element Power, right?"

Although that night had passed, Xia Xiao still remembered the details. He closed his eyes, but the world in his eyes was very different from usual. Countless wild grasses were emitting green fluorescence, forming a pure spiritual grassland, extremely quiet, with only the wind moving.

"Yes! Yes!"

The smooth leaf wings of the Ju Mang bird hold its feet, like a child playing with its toes.

"Can I use it again tomorrow?"

"Of course you can. You can always do it~"

Xia Xiao was also anxious, thinking that only those who reached the Supreme Realm could use the power of the Five Elements, because everyone could do that. But he had used it the night before, and now Ju Mang still said so, which made him a little happy. It seemed that it was not difficult to wipe out the bandit nest, and Manager Bin's wish would also be unfulfilled.

Xia Xiao stood in the forest with his palms on the ground. The moment he closed his eyes, a sea of ​​green forest appeared in his mind. Xia Xiao seemed to have left the ground and arrived at a green ocean, which was very different from the wasteland he saw the day before.

If what he saw that day were stars in the dark night sky, now it was a dense sea of ​​stars. He could feel the life of every tree, and every blade of grass. Xia Xiao's perception was limited, and he tried his best to reach out and see beyond the forest. But all he could see were four gray areas, as if they were blocked.

It must have been the other four lines, and apparently, he guessed right!

"Jumang, grow up quickly!"

"Okay! Okay!"

He flew into the sky, and Xia Xiao also stood on the treetop, looking at the dense forest. This color is so healing to a tired soul.

In the second half of the night, Ju Mang flapped his little wings. When he opened his eyes, the forest disappeared, leaving only the dark room.

Xia Xiao exhaled a breath, his energy was now full. He needed to have a good rest and be fully prepared for tomorrow's battle.

It was late at night, and the corridor was quiet without any sound, but Xia Xiao thought of Huiyue and opened the door. Looking at the counter of the inn, there was indeed a person sleeping on the table over there. Looking at the curvy figure, it should be Huiyue, he knew it!

I looked back at Shu Shuang, who had fallen asleep on the floor after practicing.

As he walked out the door, Xia Xiao closed it softly.

The waiter and the handyman behind the counter were one sitting and the other lying down. At this moment, Xia Xiao came over. The waiter stood up quickly and said in a daze:

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

"It's okay, go to sleep."

The waiter agreed and yawned.

Huiyue, who was lying on the table, woke up and saw Xia Xiao sitting next to her. She quickly took out a piece of white paper.

"This is the information I collected during the day."

Huiyue actually came in the evening, but Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang locked the door. She thought they might be practicing, so she didn't knock on the door and waited until now.

He took the white paper, which contained a map of Tiger Mountain where the bandit's nest was located, as well as some character information. They were all at the level of Condensation Realm, and the portraits were quite realistic. The beautiful handwriting was neatly arranged, which made Xia Xiao feel comfortable. He didn't expect Huiyue to complete his casual words so well.

Xia Xiao already knew about the bandit's den. The waiter and the handyman had told him everything. Two copper coins were enough for them to tell him all the information they knew. So seeing Hui Yue so exhausted, Xia Xiao felt a little sorry for her.

"Go back to bed."

After folding the paper, Xia Xiao walked towards the room, but Huiyue was still sitting there.

"Why don't you leave?"

Xia Xiao turned around and Huiyue stood up immediately.

"Now go."

It was pitch black outside, in stark contrast to the candlelit inn, but Huiyue still walked out of the inn. She couldn't go anywhere now. It was too late and everyone in the family was asleep. She couldn't go back and didn't want to go back. As for Wudou City, she didn't want to go back because Manager Bin was there, so she decided to stay here first.

Huiyue felt a little cold, hugged her arms, and sat in front of the inn. She was too sleepy, her eye bags were slightly red, and she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes. Gathering information was not an easy job. She ran a lot during the day and asked many people. In order to get the accuracy of the information, she often had to run back and forth. It also annoyed people, which was harder than guarding the gate of the Fighting City, but she still succeeded.

When the door was opened, Huiyue jumped up in shock, afraid of blocking others' way. But when she turned around, it was Xia Xiao. The latter was standing on the steps, his face was very cold, but the light behind him was very warm.

"Come in!"

"ah?"

"Come in!"

Xia Xiao's tone did not allow for resistance, and Huiyue walked in towards the light.

Following Xia Xiao, Huiyue always felt that this boy, who was not even as tall as her, was extremely mature, giving her an inexplicable sense of security. But Xia Xiao was only fourteen years old. At such a young age, he had done so many incredible things. While she was asking for information, she also learned some rumors about Xia Xiao.

"You slept with Shu Shuang."

Xia Xiao spoke softly, and then picked up Shu Shuang. She was not sleeping deeply, and woke up when Xia Xiao hugged her.

"What's wrong?"

Her voice was sweet and soft, which made Xia Xiao's heart melt. Huiyue was a girl, and she thought Shu Shuang was cute.

"It's okay, go to sleep."

Xia Xiao's gentleness made Huiyue curious. He was not like this before. And wasn't Xia Xiao the master? Why was he sleeping on the floor?

Even though she had doubts in her heart, Huiyue still took off her coat, because she was afraid of what Xia Xiao would say about her.

Because she felt uneasy, Huiyue slept on the edge of the bed without much quilt. Shu Shuang pulled her, her voice was low but very moving.

"Closer."

Shu Shuang and Hui Yue leaned against each other and soon fell asleep. Although Hui Yue closed her eyes, she was not as sleepy as before. How should she repay Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang? And why did Manager Na Bin do this? Did Xia Xiao have a grudge against them? Did the city lord not care, or were they in cahoots? Was it all for the local selection?

As she thought about it, she got the answer.
