Chapter Thirteen: The Bandit's Thoughts Are Broad

  The combat ability of the Fragrant Snake is ordinary, but the venom it spits out has a strong fragrance that is loved by many female cultivators. After the efforts of countless people, some Fragrant Snakes have been domesticated as household wild beasts.

  And this snake has another peculiarity, it is good at tracking. The snake spits out the snake's saliva, even if a thread is stained on a person, it can be smelled dozens of miles away.

  These were all clearly written in the books purchased by Chen Taizhong, but for him who had ascended from the lower realm, there were too many descriptions of desolate beasts and spiritual plants in the book, and he couldn't match them up for a while.

  Just as he realized what it was, he abruptly pulled back half of his strength. Due to the suddenness of the situation, the backlash from the force alone made him feel a wave of dizziness in his chest, fortunately not spitting out blood.

  After these days of hunting, he roughly knew that if he exerted his full strength with a knife, fourth-level wild beasts couldn't withstand it. As for fifth-level wild beasts...he hadn't encountered any yet.

  The other party released the Tuxiang snake, apparently intending to pursue and kill him relentlessly. Coincidentally, Chen also had this intention - after coming to this world, he had been subjected to too much bird gas and needed to vent it out.

  So he decided to first "show weakness to the enemy", leaving this small snake behind, so that his opponent could catch up with him.

  Even though Chen Tai Zhong left half of his hand, the small white snake was also cut by him with one sword and flew back, falling to the ground, directly fainting.

  However, he had his own plan, and the other party was not a fool. Just as he was about to fly away, that big brother took advantage of the entanglement with the fragrant snake and freed up his hand, throwing out an object in mid-air.

  A tiny object instantly turned into a vast net covering the sky and earth. He shouted loudly, "Catch!"

  Chen Taizhong was immediately caught in a big net. At this time, he still wanted to run, but it was clearly futile.

  He wielded his sword wildly and slashed at the big net, but to no avail. After falling twice, he ended up entangling himself.

  That big brother walked up, separated by a large net, and sealed his dantian and baihui acupoints with a few virtual points. He coldly smiled and said, "The Red Dust Heaven Net can capture even the Ling Xian, capturing you, such a small character, you should feel honored."

  "If I were really a spirit fairy, I'm afraid you'd run faster than the Thunder Deer!" Chen Taizhong burst out laughing in the net.

  "Are you looking for death, little one?" The man didn't get angry, but instead withdrew the net and kicked it away with one foot.

  This kick was incredibly powerful, Chen Taizhong's body was directly kicked into the air, heavily crashing into a large tree twenty meters away, and fresh blood immediately gushed out of his mouth.

  "Haha," Chen Taizhong burst out laughing, his eyes full of mocking color, the blood he kept coughing up staining his snow-white teeth crimson. "Son, is this all you've got? Not enough to scratch Grandpa's itch."

  "Don't worry, kid, I won't let you die a pleasant death," he replied with a cold smile.

  "That's right, your energy can't satisfy your partner, and you still need to ask for my help," Chen Taizhong continued to laugh loudly.

  "Damn it," the big brother was furious, and he went forward with a flurry of punches and kicks, each one landing heavily on flesh.

  "Cough, cough," Chen Taizhong was beaten until he couldn't stop coughing up blood, but on his face, there was always a look of disdain, and the sarcastic words in his mouth didn't stop, "No wonder your partner had an affair, it turns out you're so weak... really useless, haha."

  He was certain that the other party would not kill him immediately, and he could still bear some physical pain.

  What was even more subtle was that the opponent's energy had invaded his body, and he found that his meridians not only could withstand it, but also could dissipate the energy to the sealed acupoints, in other words, the opponent was helping him break through the closed passages.

  In this case, can still take advantage of it verbally, why not?

  This big brother didn't know that his punches and kicks were actually helping the other party. In fact, when he saw that the other party could only knock out his own Tuo Xiang snake, he was certain that this guy was just a third-level Youxian peak.

  With his Seventh Heaven Immortal's realm, there was no need to pay much attention to this small character.

  However, he didn't continue to torment the person endlessly. He kicked his lips with a flying kick, causing blood to splatter everywhere, and then stopped beating him. With a cold smile, he said, "Don't worry, I won't let you die that easily."

  The Zhou family in Qing Shi City is one of the three tripod censers, with three spiritual fairies. The old ancestor of the Zhou family, Zhou Dezheng, is said to have already reached the middle stage of the spiritual fairy, possessing unfathomable means.

  When he robbed, he really didn't think that he would still encounter a lone member of the Zhou clan. This small group had done this kind of business before and were extremely ruthless, with seven or eight lives lost at their hands.

  Just looking at their first-class fairy in the middle of the tour, for the top three levels of fairy people, they have to use sneak attacks, and then you'll know their nature, and they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

  This time I met the Zhou family, and it was a sure kill. If it gets out, it will be terrible.

  But before killing, we must first figure out the tracking methods of the Zhou family. Each family in Feng Huangjie has its own secret techniques. The dying person may provide clues for the tracker.

  Besides, as the Zhou family has the Three Spiritual Sages, they must also have some secret stashes or something. Since we've caught a member of the Zhou family, we should squeeze out their value completely.

  So the big brother was just a cat waist, coldly smiling and fished out a storage bag from the other's arms. Seeing the small "Zhou" character embroidered on the mouth of the bag, he couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. "You actually wore this storage bag around your waist, we didn't necessarily dare to scheme against you... pitiful people must have a hateful place... truly stupid."

  If you dare to hang up, it would have been hung long ago. Chen Taizhong's heart was bleeding, but his face showed a disdainful expression, "Are you scared?"

  "It's all done, what's the fuss about?" a voice came from afar, and it was that bearded man walking over, his face full of expectation. "Big brother, what's in the storage bag?"

  The two people's divine sense entered the storage bag, and after finding that there were only a small amount of desolate beast materials, some desolate beast corpses, and only a few dozen spirit stones, they couldn't help but burst into anger, "I... actually such a poor devil!"

  "I'm not some scattered cultivator like you," Chen Taizhong's face was full of ridicule, with an air of superiority bursting forth, "I still have a spiritual artifact in my hands, but... I couldn't possibly carry it on me."

  Since he discovered that robbing storage bags couldn't make him rich, he carefully considered this phenomenon and finally determined that unless absolutely necessary, immortals generally wouldn't put all their wealth in the storage bags they carried with them.

  The more status you have, the more it's like this - just carrying enough with you is fine, and if you lose something, you won't be too heartbroken.

  It's like in Beijing on Earth, those Beijingers who only seek to make a fortune may wear all their valuables on their bodies - or have all their credit cards in their wallets.

  But a real rich man, when going out to socialize or handle affairs, won't carry dozens of property certificates on him, it's completely unnecessary, as long as he has enough money, that's all that matters, carrying too much is actually an invitation for trouble.

  "Magic treasure?" The two thieves simultaneously sucked in a breath of cold air.

  So-called divine artifacts are magical instruments that only divine immortals can drive. There are some relatively downward-compatible divine artifacts that wandering immortals can also use, but to drive these divine artifacts, wandering immortals have to pay a huge price.

  High-ranking Youxian can drive these spiritual instruments, possibly just losing some vital energy, but mid-ranking Youxian want to drive them, then they have to pay with their life value - to be precise, they have to pay with their lifespan.

  A low-ranking Youxian wants to drive, but if the Lingqi is not fully driven, the lifespan of this Youxian will be exhausted.

  The cost of driving the spiritual device is too great, and it's normal for low-ranking Youxian to hide their devices within their families. Misplacing them would harm both others and oneself - that's like a child holding gold in a bustling market.

  "Are you stupid? Are you hungry?" Chen Taizhong continued to laugh loudly, "My spiritual instrument, you will never have it... You'd better focus on waiting for the revenge of the Zhou family."

  "I'm going to Ni Ma," the bearded man walked up and kicked his head with a force that could knock out any third-level wandering immortal.

  But Chen Taizhong insisted on it, he shook his head and said in a daze, "You wait for the Week family's Soul Chasing Blood Kill."

  After finishing this sentence, his pupils began to dilate, and five or six seconds later, he fainted.

  "Big brother, Soul Chasing Blood Kill, what's this thing?" The burly man with a curly beard asked dully, tilting his head to one side.

  "It's like a blood feud," the older brother replied hesitantly.

  The Blood Guidance Technique is a major category of revenge killings, where the deceased person's spirit is guided by their own blood to point out the direction for those seeking justice.

  "Cut it out, does he have what it takes or is he just talking big," the burly man sneered, this thing isn't something anyone can play with.

  "So, living a simple life is also a kind of blessing," the older brother sighed and shook his head, worrying about his younger brother's simple IQ - bloodline wasn't uncommon, but that didn't mean the Zhous wouldn't have it.

  "Why hasn't Erjie shown up?" The whiskered man no longer dwelled on this.

  "Let's get in touch," said the big brother with a nod, "we brothers will advance and retreat together."

  But soon they realized that brothers can't advance and retreat together - as an archer, the second brother was killed!

  "What the...?!" Seeing the archer curled up on the ground in the forest, his throat slit open with blood splattered everywhere, his mouth still slightly ajar as if he wanted to take one last breath, the big brother's composure was gone.

  "It's definitely this guy," the burly man kicked Chen Taizhong, who was beside him, with a vicious kick, not showing any mercy even though he was unconscious. "Boss, is there anyone else around here?"

  "Easy on him, we still have use for him," Lao Da said impatiently.

  "But Second Sister is gone!" the burly man with a thick beard shouted loudly, glaring fiercely at his own eldest brother.

  "Find a secluded place first," the big brother replied with a gloomy face, "This place is not safe... The second child will have to be buried after all?"

  The whiskered man let out a light sigh, bent down and hoisted the corpse of Bow-hand onto his back, while Old Big dragged Chen Taizhong's body by one foot. The two men went in single file, quietly making their way into the forest.

  (Tomorrow there will be a Sanjiang interview, and two updates will be made. The first update should be around 2 pm... Summoning recommendation votes.)
