Ju Mang is growing bigger every day, and the space crack after Xia Xiao formed the hand seal has also become much bigger.

A big green ball appeared in the room. This time it didn't run around. It just stood in front of Xia Xiao, flapping its wings and chirping non-stop.

Looking at Xia Xiao, Shu Shuang waited for him to translate.

"He said he needed the Ujin Growth Leaf."

Ju Mang walked up to Shu Shuang and hugged her legs with his wings.

"for you."

Ju Mang took it and laughed continuously, as if he had obtained something great.

"Jumang, you can't eat it carelessly. If you don't measure enough, you'll have problems."

"OK."

Shu Shuang touched its head and said lovingly:

"So good."

"Let's go back. The danger here is not over yet."

Xia Xiao finished speaking, and then performed another set of combined hand seals. Ju Mang saw his own forest and ran into it excitedly.

What a cute little guy! Shu Shuang smiled slightly and gradually felt something was wrong. The voice just now seemed to have come from him. Did she hear him speak?

Looking at Xia Xiao, Shu Shuang felt incredible and a smile appeared on her little face.

"He just said yes, answer me now!"

"Did you hear that?"

Shu Shuang nodded and became happy.

"Jumang will definitely be great in the future. The fact that he can speak proves that he is a sixth-level wild beast, or even higher."

Xia Xiao was naturally very happy that Ju Mang showed such talent, but he was not content with the status quo. They were still in the bandit's nest, and the people in the tiger's mouth could come back at any time, so they had to be prepared to fight back.

After closing the iron door, Xia Xiao said:

"Hurry up and take a rest. We will go to Hukou in an hour."

After hearing this, Shu Shuang did not hesitate at all. She sat cross-legged in the dark room and began to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth to recover from her injuries.

An hour later, Xia Xiao woke up on time.

"What should we do with these things?"

In addition to money, there are also many medicinal herbs here. This independent small room is like a paradise on earth. As long as you take the things inside, you will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life. However, Xia Xiao's tone was very indifferent.

"Leave it to the people of Rongcheng. We don't want things that are not ours. The black gold leaf will be your reward!"

Shu Shuang nodded, with admiration in her eyes.

Compared to the small house with a slight medicinal scent, the mountain village was filled with a foul odor. Shu Shuang couldn't help but coughed a few times this time.

Seeing the brazier on the side, Xia Xiao walked straight over. There was new firewood in it that the bandits had added before going down the mountain. It was burning very vigorously. Picking up a piece, Xia Xiao threw it into the lobby of the mountain stronghold.

Before coming here, Xia Xiao had heard that this Hushan Stronghold had a history of twenty years, and that more than five hundred people had become bandits, and had obtained more than a hundred taels of gold, and bribed the people in the city, which was the basis for their long-term presence here. Xia Xiao didn't want to let people go on like this, so he set fire to burn the hard work of this generation.

Behind Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang, thick smoke came out of the many wooden houses connected to each other. After a few sparks, the flames grew stronger and finally penetrated the doors and windows. Soon the flames shot up into the sky, and the stench dissipated in the fire.

The unique background became a declaration of victory for Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang. The sound of horse hooves startled the two men and they prepared for battle, but the ones coming were fully armed soldiers from Rongcheng.

The moment they saw them, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang looked at each other. The people from Rongcheng had already arrived and were probably waiting at the foot of the mountain. As for the people from Hukou, they must have been dealt with by them.

The sound of horse hooves gradually approached, and the three men dismounted at the same time, saluted and said:

"Thank you, sir, for taking action to wipe out these bandits."

Judging from the young man's reverent expression, he probably doesn't know the cause of this incident. If he knew, he would definitely feel sad about the difficulties of the world and the wickedness of human hearts.

Xia Xiao knew why he came and said lightly.

"The back hill is full of corpses, go check it out yourself!"

"yes!"

After the three of them finished talking, they left immediately, and Shu Shuang and Xia Xiao were the only ones left on the way down the mountain. They walked down the mountain road, with colorful shades of trees along the way, but the person waiting at the end of the mountain road was already anxious and wanted to know the answer!

They arrived an hour ago, with hundreds of soldiers from Rongcheng and thousands of civilians. The latter came to watch the fun, and also hoped that the bandits could be eliminated so that they could walk this road with peace of mind in the future!

At this time, the black smoke on the top of the mountain attracted the attention of the people. Rongcheng Lord Lin Jing and Manager Bin also saw it and immediately panicked.

"It seems like they are hiding deep. Since they burned down the village, it means they are not dead."

Manager Bin’s analysis was reasonable, but Lin Jing’s expression gradually turned worse.

"I told you yesterday morning that this matter must be accomplished or it will be lost. If the news reaches the Zou Shou Church, they can make us disappear from the dynasty with just one word. Do you understand?"

Being scolded by Lin Jing, Manager Bin looked unhappy, but he replied:

"Don't worry, City Lord. Shu Shuang was not at the scene yesterday. They have no evidence to prove their claims."

"Do you really think you are invincible and can control the Zou Shou Church with your little cleverness? Do you know that the entire dynasty has to give in to those hundred people?"

Manager Bin's face was livid. The noise outside the carriage made him upset.

"After this incident, you are not allowed to cause trouble like this again. I have my own way to deal with Xia Xiao. Even if he is a disciple of the Pope of the First Church, the competition must be fair and just. Tian'er will defeat him in the local competition!"

"But if we don't take action now and give him time to grow, they will become stronger."

"That's better than asking for trouble!"

After hearing this, Manager Bin cursed the man as a coward and jumped off the carriage angrily.

Looking at the top of the mountain, Manager Bin was a little puzzled. How did Xia Xiao do it? With his strength, how could he defeat a strong man in the Condensation Realm? Moreover, there were many ruthless people under Liu Yidao.

"You old dogs of Rongcheng, you shall not die well!"

With his arms tied, Waizui roared and broke free immediately. He knocked down the soldier next to him with a punch, then drew the long sword from his waist and came towards Manager Bin.

“Stop him!”

After the soldiers shouted, dozens of them blocked his way, but the man with crooked mouth fought his way through.

Boom!

The moment Manager Bin stepped forward, his vital energy burst out, forcing Waizui to retreat several steps.

"If you come forward again, you will die!"

Manager Bin was just worrying about where to vent his anger, and he didn't expect that his crooked mouth would bump into the muzzle of the gun.

"My eldest brother and third brother of Tiger Mountain Village all died in your hands. So what if they died?"

Seeing smoke coming out of the stronghold, Waizui could already guess the outcome, so he shouted angrily, causing the other sixty people to become furious. They immediately broke free from the ropes, snatched swords and knives, and gathered behind Waizui.

"If anyone resists, they will be killed without mercy!"

Lin Jing's voice came from the carriage, and the people retreated in panic. These bandits were really fierce. They were so bold. Facing so many well-prepared soldiers, they still dared to attack?

"Brothers, you are all great. At this point, we have no choice but to die. What a bullshit calmness! Just ignore it! At noon today, we will eat meat and drink wine with big brother on the Yellow Spring Road. Follow me!"

The bandits rushed out and rushed towards Manager Bin and the soldiers around him.

"court death!"

Manager Bin shouted, and immediately took action to suppress the crooked mouth.

"Even if I die, I'll give you a leg in exchange!"

In the extremely fast fight, Waizui was quick-witted and agile, and instead of chopping at his legs, he used a sword carrying his vital energy to pierce the tendon of Manager Bin's right hand.

Immediately, Manager Bin broke out in sweat on his forehead.

"What a great trick, but you have to die!"

A palm smashed the crooked mouth's crown, causing blood to splatter. When he fell, the Tiger Mountain Stronghold was really gone!

"Second in command!"

"Brothers, kill!"

There was no point in shouting hysterically, they would all die in the end. The people around could not help but exclaimed, these bandits are quite loyal, but they have gone astray and cannot turn back!

The common people were enjoying the fun and wished there were dozens more bandits so they could have another fight with the soldiers. That would be a very satisfying experience.

"Someone, bandage it."

Hearing Lin Jing's silent voice, Manager Bin was angry. This Lin Jing seemed smart, but he was just a bully. He relied on his position as the city lord to control the Yu family and the Li family, but he was afraid when faced with trouble. He did such a good job in this matter, but he didn't dare to send strong men to kill Xia Xiao and the others. If Manager Bin could spare some time, he would definitely go by himself. In that case, how could there be any trouble now?

Looking at the other end of the mountain road, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang appeared.

The crowd was in an uproar, all going to see the hero. What kind of man would it be to defeat half of the village with only two men? The people were full of expectations, but when they actually saw him, they were shocked.

“I feel so small, I’m still a child!”

"Yeah, he's about the same age as my kid!"

"But they took down half of the bandit den."

…

When the people were in disbelief, Huiyue ran out from the crowd.

"Hey, stop her!"

The soldiers on the side saw this and shouted at the top of their lungs, but Huiyue ignored them and ran over there with the medical bag. She became the only person in the crowd who went against the flow. Everyone else was afraid of danger, but she was the only one who wanted to treat Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang's injuries.

Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang had been away from Hui Yue for four hours, and during these four hours, Hui Yue had been restless. All this was because of her. She had been praying that Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang would return safely, and now that she actually saw them, she was extremely excited.

Huiyue ran very fast. Manager Bin took a look and his old eyes flashed with ferocity. He had to find a way to get rid of Xia Xiao, because if he continued like this, his Li family's only spot in the local competition would probably be gone!

Manager Bin's original name was Li Bin, and he was from the Li family, one of the three major families in Rongcheng. Now the Lin family and the Yu family both have two outstanding young people who can get places in the local competition, but his Li family only has one, and his strength is relatively weak. If Xia Xiao successfully participates in the competition, the first one to be squeezed out will be Li Weichun from his Li family. Therefore, he must do something else, even if it is risky, he must take action!
