"Young Master, there are more and more miasma areas around here, and there are black bear footprints and feces nearby. We can't go any further."
The leading man held a broad-backed long knife in his hand and spoke to Chai He with a serious expression.
"Uncle Ping...but I haven't found the medicine. When I go back, won't those people in the military camp be waiting to see me make a fool of myself?"
Pingliu was speechless for a moment, but then he gave a bitter smile.
It’s a good thing that the young master just arrived and wanted to save the local people.
However, judging from the attitude of the thousand households and the group of military households towards them, there may be something fishy going on behind this.
After all, he is still too young and cannot be persuaded.
They were new here and not familiar with the place. If they really encountered a big insect or a black bear, it would be troublesome if things got out of hand.
"No, we can't just go back like this, we have to go forward again."
Pingliu saw that he couldn't persuade Chai He, and he sighed deeply.
As they continued to move forward, the surrounding trees and vegetation became increasingly dense.
Many places were filled with blue-gray miasma and billowing thick smoke, which would poison even blood-refining warriors if they inhaled it.
At this moment, a valley suddenly appeared in front of everyone without any warning.
Chai He saw the lush greenery in the valley from afar and was immediately delighted.
"Quick, go to the front and take a look. I smell the aroma of elixir!"
He quickly sent his men to investigate.
Soon, the people sent out came back to report that in this quiet and deep valley, there were actually large areas of precious medicinal herbs growing! This news made Chai He very excited for a while.
However, at this moment, several disciples in long robes rushed out from the depths of the valley, shouting loudly, and quickly surrounded the few people who went to investigate.
"Who are you?"
"This is the private restricted area of the Spirit Snake Martial Arts School. Outsiders please leave immediately!"
A martial arts disciple who was leading the group shouted loudly, his tone extremely tough.
Upon hearing this, Chai He opened his mouth wide and was furious: "When did this desolate place become your private territory? This is simply lawless!"
"I am the newly appointed town magistrate. Do you want to rob me?"
"Town order?"
Several martial arts school disciples looked suspicious, but not afraid. Instead, they quickly showed mockery. A middle-aged man walked out quickly, looked him up and down, and then said in a cold voice,
"How dare you impersonate the town commander? Are you a spy of the barbarians? Capture him and hand him over to the commander for punishment!"
"spy?"
After hearing this, Chai He was so angry that he trembled all over.
"You...you are slandering me!"
It's bad enough that the soldiers in the garrison didn't take them seriously, but even the people in the martial arts hall in this town looked down on him!
It’s the opposite, it’s really the opposite!
But the people from the opposite martial arts gym look strong and muscular, and they are obviously not good people. They are all blood-refining warriors?
The guards around Chai He were shocked.
Even in the military it is extremely difficult to cultivate qi and blood, so how could the martial arts school in this town have such a foundation?
He anticipated that something was wrong and was ready to roar!
"Protect the young master!"
Several martial arts school disciples pounced out like hungry tigers descending from the mountains. Their speed and momentum were astonishing.
In the blink of an eye, they rushed to the guards beside Chai He and attacked without mercy.
Only a few muffled thuds were heard, and the guards didn't even have time to react before they were knocked to the ground in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, these martial arts school disciples used their grappling techniques with great agility and subdued the guards in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Chai He was in a miserable state. He struggled to break free from his restraints, while constantly muttering his identity as the town commander in an attempt to intimidate the other party.
But unfortunately, those martial arts school disciples were not moved at all and did not believe what he said at all.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer.
Afterwards, he decisively gave orders, asking his men to escort Chai He to the garrison.
Upon hearing the order, the men immediately responded with a grim smile, rubbing their hands and getting ready to take action.
Just at this moment, suddenly a sound of footsteps came from far away.
The middle-aged man frowned and turned to look.
When he saw who was coming, his face changed and he waved his hand to stop his men who were about to step forward. He quickly put on a friendly smile and walked quickly to meet him.
Xia He didn't expect that he would meet people from the Lingshe Martial Arts School in this place, and it seemed that they had a conflict with others.
Previously, the young master of the Lingshe Martial Arts School wanted to recruit him, so the middle-aged man was naturally very friendly towards him.
"Brother Xia, how are you?"
Xia He casually bowed and nodded slightly.
When the middle-aged man saw the golden wood in the bamboo basket behind Xia He, his expression froze and he was shocked.
"Xuanjin wood? Judging from its quality, it must be at least thirty years old..."
"This item is very hard to find. My little brother is indeed extraordinary. The young master was right about you."
Xia He was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and just exchanged a few casual words.
When he glanced to the side inadvertently, he happened to see the town magistrate Chai He who was captured in a miserable state.
This sudden scene made him stunned for a moment, and he was secretly surprised.
"Why did you arrest the town magistrate?"
"ah?"
The middle-aged man seemed stunned, and then looked at Chai He in shock.
"Is it really the town commander? Someone, come and untie him!"
The middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward, quickly untied the ropes that bound Chai He, and said apologetically, "Oh, my! I'm so sorry. I was careless and mistook you for thieves."
