"You want to learn?"

"Want to find out."

"When I came out this time, I found that the real battle was more insidious and cruel than I imagined. Those bandits used hidden weapons and poison powder that were quenched with poison. It would be easier to be on guard if you learn some knowledge."

Lin Zheyu said.

He has a lot of strength, but when he encounters unknown poisonous powder, he has to avoid the edge temporarily and dare not touch it for fear of accidentally being contaminated with deadly poison.

If you encounter someone who is weak, you can also use the flying knife to kill them from a distance. But when it comes to someone of equal strength, there is nothing you can do.

He is not good at using hidden weapons. Hidden weapons can only bully those who are weaker than him. When facing Qiao Quan, who used the military formation to upgrade his strength to the Qi and Blood realm, all the flying knives he shot were blocked one by one.

If he had attacked forcefully at that time, with his Qi and Blood Realm strength and if the toxicity was not strong, he should have been able to withstand it.

But being cautious by nature, he didn't want to gamble on this probability. What if the poisonous powder spread by the other party happened to be highly poisonous?

Murphy's Law says well that if there is a possibility that things will go bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen.

"That's right. A real battle is a life-and-death battle. How can you kill the opponent? Most of them are dirty, damaging, or poisonous moves."

"Before the bandits launch an attack, they will first use smoke and poisonous smoke to attack. However, this kind of attack takes a long time to take effect, so the caravan will take precautions in advance."

"There are not as many poisons that are really quick-acting as you think, and they are all expensive and there are few channels to purchase them."

"Most poisons work by inhaling them into the body. If you encounter them, be careful and just hold your breath during battle."

"If you want to learn this knowledge, I'll ask someone to help you ask. Doctor Mo in the army has medical skills that are passed down from family to family and are not passed on to outsiders." Han Mo said.

"Well, that's troublesome, senior brother."

"Senior brother, how do you usually deal with those who are good at using poison?" Lin Zheyu asked.

"Hold your breath and attack with your crossbow."

"We all have antidote drugs and anti-toxic pills on hand. If you take them beforehand, if you are really poisoned, just hold your breath and go back to the doctor for treatment."

"As long as it's not an insoluble poison, most of them can be saved."

Han Mo said. Seeing that Lin Zheyu still had some doubts, he continued: "Don't worry, poison is not as scary as you think. You can deal with most poisons by holding your breath."

"Toxicity is also divided into doses. A small amount of poison can be resisted by a warrior's resistance. If you take some poison-proof pills beforehand, you can just find someone to treat it after you go back."

"As long as you don't encounter that kind of rare and extremely toxic poison, it won't be a big problem to be careful."

"Yeah." Lin Zheyu nodded.

What he was afraid of was the very poisonous poison. His life was precious, and he didn't want to lose it because of negligence.

Han Mo asked someone to get two bottles of pills, one to detoxify and the other to avoid poisons, both of which could only protect against common toxins.

However, when encountering relatively strong poisons, there are some effects, which can alleviate the poison, take a breath, and go back for treatment.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Lin Zheyu took the pill and thanked him.

"I haven't seen you for a while. Let me see if your strength has deteriorated." After Lin Zheyu packed the package, Han Mo stood up and said with a smile.

"good."

Lin Zheyu nodded, took off his coat, and walked over with his sword.

"bring it on."

Han Mo held a long knife and waved to Lin Zheyu, his eyes full of confidence.

Recently, his strength has improved a lot, and he can now sense the blood in his body.

When the spirit is tempered to be stronger, the blood and essence can be fused, and the qi and blood can be condensed under the fusion of the spirit.

"Hey!"

Lin Zheyu smiled and rushed towards his senior brother with a knife.

Ding ding ding

The crisp sound of blades striking was heard in the field.

Han Mo controlled his strength to the bone forging level, while Lin Zheyu also suppressed his strength to the bone forging level.

The two of them were going back and forth, and Han Mo gradually felt the pressure.

"We haven't seen each other for a few days, and Junior Brother Lin has become so powerful!"

Han Mo was surprised.

Lin Zheyu combined Jin Yan Gong and Liuhe Sword extremely well. The sword technique matched the body technique, allowing him to advance and attack, retreat and defend, which made him unable to start.

His sword skills are great, but his speed and dexterity are not good, which makes him helpless against Lin Zheyu.

"Your Majesty's junior brother is so strong, he can actually fight with you!"

The soldiers watching the battle were shocked.

With such great strength at such a young age, Master Han’s future achievements as a junior are limitless!

Ding.

Bang——

Han Mo saw the right moment and slashed horizontally with the knife. The muscles on his arms bulged and terrifying force exploded.

Lin Zheyu swung his sword to block, but was shocked by the sudden blow from his senior brother and took several steps back.

"Senior brother's Liuhe sword skills are really amazing!"

Lin Zheyu put away the knife, cupped his hands and said.

Senior Brother Han Mo has mastered the Liuhe Sword to perfection, and a secret book of techniques at the peak level of Zang Refining Realm has allowed him to practice to the level where he is about to break through the Qi and Blood Realm.

He has an honest character, but his sword skills are very flexible. The Liuhe sword skills are unpredictable, and he can often catch Lin Zheyu off guard with his tricky attack angles.

However, this is also the reason why Lin Zheyu uses sword skills as his main attack and Jin Yan Kung as a supplement. Sword skills are his weakness. It would be different if you use Jin Yan Gong or Man Niu Fist.

"You are worthy of the talent and understanding that even Master Liang can't help but admire. Junior Brother Lin, the speed of your strength improvement makes senior brother envious."

Han Mo sighed.

It’s been a while since we last met, and Junior Brother Lin’s strength has improved again.

Although the increase in strength and speed is not much, the improvement in understanding and use of skills and combat awareness is extremely obvious.

Just now he couldn't help but burst out with the power of the Zang Refining Realm, and then he pushed Lin Zheyu back.

"Continue to practice with me. This time you are not allowed to use Jin Yan Gong. You will just practice your sword skills." Han Mo said.

"Okay, senior brother, please be merciful."

Lin Zheyu said with a smile, and rushed forward again with the knife.

In the battle just now, if he hadn't relied on the back and forth of Jin Yan Gong, he would have been defeated very quickly.

Nowadays, if Jin Yan Gong is not used, the only test is sword skills.

Although Han Mo said he was practicing with him, he actually wanted to teach Lin Zheyu his sword skills. Just now, he saw a lot of areas that could be improved from Lin Zheyu's sword skills.

Ding ding ding

In the field, the crisp sound of weapons clashing sounded again.

This time, the competition was purely about sword skills, and Lin Zheyu quickly fell into a disadvantage.

Han Mo did not fight him off with one blow, but used his sword skills to guide Lin Zheyu and pointed out his shortcomings from time to time.

…

The sky is getting dark, Songyicheng, Xing family.

The servants in Xing Jinglong's house all had nervous looks on their faces.

"Is there no news about the young master yet?"

The steward looked at the servants who rushed back and asked nervously.

Mr. Xing Jinglong went out in a hurry in the morning, saying he had something important to do, but he hasn't come back yet.

Even Lord Zhao Wude and Lord Qiao Quan, who followed him out, were nowhere to be seen.

"No, the members of the Wuding Gang and the ten elite city guards who followed us have not returned either." The servant shook his head.

"Damn it!"

"Let's go find Mr. Jing'an. We can only report this matter." The steward said through gritted teeth.

After dark, it is even more dangerous outside the city. Even if the young master goes out to do errands and forgets the time, Mr. Zhao Wude will remind him.

The steward hurried out and came to the Xing family martial arts field.

Mr. Xing Jingan has a good talent in martial arts. He has reached the peak of the Zang Refining Realm before he was thirty years old. After several years of training in the city guard, he hopes to break through to the Qi and Blood Realm.

He is a martial arts fanatic. Apart from being busy with work, he spends most of his time practicing martial arts in the Xing family martial arts field.

The steward entered the martial arts field and saw Xing Jingan immersed in martial arts training.

In the past, he would not have dared to disturb him, but now it was related to Master Jinglong's safety, so he had to disturb him.

He took a step forward and said respectfully: "Mr. Jing'an, something happened. Mr. Jinglong took Mr. Zhao Wude and Mr. Qiao Quan out in the morning and has not come back yet."

"Um?"

Xing Jing'an stopped, his martial arts practice was interrupted, and his face was a little unhappy.

However, after hearing that something might have happened to his brother Xing Jinglong, he couldn't help but frown: "Where did Jinglong go, and what did he do?"

"Back to the young master, according to reports from people from the Wuding Gang, Lin Zheyu from the Feihong Gang left the city. He once had an affair with the young master. When the young master found out, he led his men and chased him out."

"Until now, the young master has not come back, and there is no news." The steward said.

"Lin Zheyu?"

Xing Jing'an frowned, he had some impression of this name.

According to Xing Jinglong and his cousin Xing Penghai, this man was young, and in less than three months, he had never practiced martial arts before and reached the bone forging realm.

His talent and understanding are good, and his potential is amazing. He can be captured and used secret methods to stimulate his potential and train him into a dead soldier.

Xing Jinglong probably went out for this reason.

"Is Lin Zheyu back?" Xing Jing'an asked.

"nor."

"Things are not good. It stands to reason that Zhao Wude and Qiao Quan have been dispatched, so they should be captured soon."

Xing Jing'an's eyes were solemn, he put on his clothes and hurried out.

drive!

Get on your horse and go straight to the city gate.

The moon and stars are sparse.

The cold wind howled.

In the forest at night, there are roars of beasts.

A team of thirty soldiers, riding horses and holding torches, rushed towards them.

drive

Drive!

The soldiers commanded their horses and galloped towards the mountains and forests with all their strength.

Zhao Wude is a cautious person and likes to be cautious when doing things. If Lin Zheyu's strength hadn't been so unexpected, he wouldn't have fallen into trouble so quickly.

When leaving the city, he habitually left markers with a special smell along the way, which could remain in the wild for two days.

It can be used for tracking, leaving marks, etc. It is extremely versatile.

Call——

The leading man pulled the reins and stopped in front of a bush.

This is where Lin Zheyu dumped his body.

There were no bodies inside, just bloodstains on the ground and torn armor and clothing.

"Asshole!"

Xing Penghai looked at the blood stains and tattered pieces of clothing on the ground and cursed angrily.

Xing Jing'an, who was standing next to him, was extremely silent, quietly looking at the clothes on the ground, which were all torn into pieces, and it was impossible to tell whose clothes were whose.

"What do you think about this?" Xing Jing'an's face was calm, with a hint of sinisterness deep in his eyes.

Xing Penghai shook his head, with a gloomy expression on his face: "Maybe it was the hands of those enemies. We moved too much and suffered retaliation from them."

"Well, it is indeed possible."

Xing Jing'an nodded: "Let's talk to the uncle when we get back and let him make the decision."

"Xing Ling, please go down and have the spies in the city report on the movements of the major forces today. At the same time, keep an eye on the boy from the Feihong Gang to see if he is dead."

"If he comes back, report to me immediately." Xing Penghai ordered.

"Yes, sir."

…

Near the Lion Valley, the military camp is located.

Lin Zheyu and Han Mo sat in front of the campfire, roasting game.

"Senior brother, have you ever seen a living corpse?"

"On the way here, I heard people say that living corpses appeared in Beast Roar Mountain, and many people died." Lin Zheyu asked.

"Are living corpses appearing again in the Roaring Mountain?"

Han Mo asked in surprise, obviously not knowing the news.

"Well, I heard that it just appeared a while ago. How much does senior brother know about living corpses? Can you explain it to junior brother?" Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

"There's nothing to say about this."

"Living corpse is just what ordinary people call it. It has another name, and that is demon!" Han Mo said after taking a sip of tea.

demon! ?

Lin Zheyu couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. Is this a demon?

Liang Song mentioned the demon thing to him at first, but he didn't associate living corpses with demons.

"Yes, living corpses are also a type of demon."

"These people all practiced certain forbidden arts in their lives, and were eroded by the evil force and fell into suspended animation."

"Then it will be buried in a place with a strong evil spirit, and a special formation will be arranged. After dozens or hundreds of years of suspended animation, it will come back to life again, thus achieving an effect similar to immortality."

"They are just like demons. Because they practice forbidden arts, they lose themselves and become bloodthirsty, cruel, irrational monsters who only know how to kill."

Han Mo said that as a centurion of the city guard, he knew something about demons.

"Forbidden technique?"

"Is it the secret technique of cultivating immortality and immortality?"

Lin Zheyu asked curiously, catching the key point in Han Mo's words.

Liang Song once said that some people pursue immortality in order to cultivate immortality and cultivate themselves into demons.

"Immortality? There is no such thing as immortality."

Han Mo shook his head and said: "The so-called secret technique of immortality, until the end of practice, will make you become a monster that is neither human nor ghost."

"I don't know the specifics. I just heard what the adults said."

"When I was a soldier, I once had the honor to go out with the adults to kill a demon, which is the living corpse in your mouth. It took a lot of effort to succeed."

"This kind of monster has copper skin and iron bones, and is invulnerable. The strong killing intent condensed by the military formation has a suppressive effect on this kind of monster."

"If you encounter a demon in the future, or hear that a demon has appeared somewhere, don't be curious and go over to watch, and run away as soon as possible."

"The demons are invincible unless they are warriors at the Qi and Blood Realm. Even warriors at the Qi and Blood Realm who are below the Third Transformation of Qi and Blood can only barely protect themselves."

Han Mo said with solemn eyes.

When he first fought against the demons, he was just a soldier, an inconspicuous part of the military formation, providing only energy, spirit and murderous intent.

That battle left a very deep impression on him.

"Yeah." Zheyu nodded.

Zizzi~

crackling——

The bonfire burned, the branches crackled, and the meat roasted on it was sizzling with hot oil, and the aroma filled the air, which was extremely tempting.

"Senior brother, can you go back before the Chinese New Year?"

Lin Zheyu took a bite of the fragrant barbecue.

"I'll go back in two days," Han Mo said.

The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and I just happened to go back for the reunion dinner.

He looked at Lin Zheyu and said, "You can also go to my house for a reunion dinner then. It will be more lively with more people and have a New Year atmosphere."

Han Mo knew that Lin Zheyu had no relatives in Songyicheng and would be quite lonely during the Chinese New Year.

"OK."

Lin Zheyu nodded and agreed.

…
