Soldier King's Love Story in the City-Chapter C289
Even a battle-hardened person like Zhang Chun would occasionally hear some roars from an unknown beast in the dark forest, especially from the surroundings. In addition to the rotting smell of an unknown corpse in the air, he would feel a little scared.
Three days ago, the number two captive Dekang family gave him traces of Dekang Xinyi. Zhang Chun and Zhen Tianxin, the father and daughter, as well as a few other strong cultivators, formed a team to kill Dekang Xinyi in the forest.
"This forest is one of the secret grounds of the Dekang family," Zhen Tianxin said. "But the people that are stationed here are extremely few, so they didn't attract our attention. I never expected Dekang Xinyi to be hiding here."
Everyone hurried along in silence. They were especially careful as the entire team was filled with a depressing atmosphere.
After all, if they went to eliminate the strongest Dekang Xinyi this time, this small group would definitely suffer casualties. Therefore, everyone had a timid voice in their hearts.
Zhang Chun and Zhen Tianyuzi were slightly better. After all, they were fighting with Dekang Xinyi, so they were a little more familiar with his fighting methods. Furthermore, he had rested for three more days. His energy was vigorous and his battle prowess was almost restored to its peak state.
"Since this is the Dekang family's secret grounds, what's special about this place?" Zhang Chun asked somewhat puzzled.
According to Zhang Chun's understanding, the secret grounds were naturally one of the most important places for a family or organization.
"We've sent people to argue a few times, but nothing happened." Zhen Tianyuzi interrupted from the side.
But very quickly, Zhang Chun understood where the secret was. After walking for less than half an hour, Zhang Chun felt an itch on the back of his hand. He thought that it was caused by some weeds, so he didn't put it to heart. Zhang Chun never thought that his arm would become so itchy. He lowered his head and saw that the Blood Sucking Locust had actually crawled into his arm!
Zhang Chun quickly and carefully pulled out the leech and roasted it to death with his lighter.
"Stop." Realizing that it was like before, Zhang Chun hurriedly stopped everyone who was still walking.
Everyone stopped and turned to look at Zhang Chun, only to see him turn serious. Everyone could not help but become cautious, thinking that Zhang Chun had detected the enemy. What's the situation? "
Only then did Zhen Tianyuzi notice that Zhang Chun's arm was bleeding. She hurriedly picked up some hemostasis herbs and used a simple bandage to bandage it.
"Looks like this place really isn't simple. There are bloodsucking leeches, and there are these herbs. " Zhang Chun realized that something was amiss, "Everyone, hurry and check."
But Zhang Chun quickly realized that his words were unnecessary, ninja team was wearing a special night attire, other than covering his eyes and forehead, everything was tightly wrapped, there was no need for Zhang Chun to worry.
"Everyone, it's best to move carefully. We can slow down a bit." Zhen Tianxin still warned the others.
"This place must be filled with poison." Zhang Chun whispered by Zhen Tianyuzi's and Zhen Tianxin's side, "Could this be the Dekang family's pasture?"
"Very likely." Zhen Tianxin muttered to himself for a while, "For the past few hundred years, the Dekang family has always used poison as their foundation, but we do not have the relevant information, so we do not know how they developed the poison. Now it seems like it really has something to do with this place. "
Zhang Chun who was leading the way suddenly felt that there was something crawling ahead, but he couldn't see anything with his infrared vision, so Zhang Chun could only take the risk and click on the lighter.
What appeared under the firelight was a large group of scorpions! These scorpions were very large, almost the size of a kitten, and seemed to have great offensive power!
Zhen Tianyuzi, who was at the side, almost screamed out when he saw this scene.
"There are too many poisonous scorpions. It seems like we won't be able to use this route. Is there any other way?" Zhang Chun turned and asked Zhen Tianxin.
"Only this path can silently approach the center of the secret location." Zhen Tianxin replied awkwardly, "This road is still the same as the past, we had to sacrifice a lot to find a way out. All the other paths to the center of the secret grounds will be discovered. "
Zhen Tianyuzi's scalp was already numb from seeing such a dense cluster of scorpions. She anxiously said, "Let's go around it then."
Zhang Chun did not immediately answer, he observed the scorpions that were trying to approach him for a while, "There is no way to go around it. "You are in the primeval forest, so if we take a detour, we might get lost and the effect of your surprise attack will be greatly reduced."
"Then what should we do? Don't tell me that we should step over these poisonous scorpions?" Zhen Tianyuzi panicked, looks like she was really afraid of these "little animals".
"We might as well burn all the scorpions here." Zhang Chun's eyes flashed as he said that.
"But wouldn't that expose our existence?" Zhen Tianyuzi tilted her head in puzzlement as she asked.
"Look at the terrain here. There are two mountain peaks on both sides and they can completely block the flames. They probably won't reveal our existence. Furthermore, from the looks of it, this place is not simple. The next time these things appear during my battle with Dekang family, it will be troublesome, so I might as well settle it here. "
"I suggest we do as Zhang Chun says." "Moreover, this place is equivalent to an isolated island. If we could attract some enemies here, we would have a easier time fighting others."
Since the two leaders had already agreed to this plan, ninja team and Zhen Tianyuzi could only carry it out. Everyone was looking for dead branches and fallen leaves to pile up around the scorpion farm.
Zhang Chun didn't hesitate to light up a fire, and the fire immediately spread outwards. The scorpions in the fire continued to flee in all directions, but they could not escape the fire. A pungent smell of meat was spreading in the air.
"Quickly put on the gas mask!" Zhen Tianxin's face changed, "The poisonous scorpions on my body are also poisonous!" Everyone took out their gas masks and put them on.
"I've seen this poison before. I didn't expect it to be extracted from these scorpions. This can be considered a fluke." Zhen Tianxin sighed.
"It looks like we'll make good progress this time." Zhang Chun started to raise the morale, "Now we are going to take Dekang Xinyi's dog life!"
Once he left the, everything went smoothly, and the morale of ninja team was also improved by a lot.
"I'm afraid there are some poisonous creatures here." Zhen Tianyuzi said softly, "Next, we need to not only prevent ourselves from being discovered."
