Chapter 44: The Beast Forest
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Xiao Qiang quickly said, "Xiao Chen, pay attention to your attitude. Since you have already obtained the Spirit Fox cub, why don't you apologize to Senior Liu quickly."
The meaning of Xiao Qiang's words was that he was scolding Xiao Chen on the surface, but in fact he had already agreed that he had obtained the soul blood jade, and he just gave Liu Fengyin a step.
Xiao Chen's wisdom did not understand what the elder meant. He gently placed the fox in his arms on the table, bowed and smiled, "Senior Liu, I just didn't know what he said and said rudely, so I'm sorry for offending me."
Liu Fengyin snorted coldly, took back his momentum and said nothing. The expression on his face did not improve any better, and obviously he was still in extreme discomfort.
"Senior Liu, this is a mid-level soul soldier of the Xuan-level. I think you don't have any weapons at your disposal, so why not be wronged." Xiao Qiang took out the giant sword obtained from the Tang family from the space ring in his hand and said.
Liu Fengyin looked at the Xuan-level intermediate soul soldiers handed over by Xiao Qiang coldly, and did not reach out to pick them up. He lost the six-tailed spirit fox, making him unable to accept the huge gap in front of him for a while.
"Uncle, Senior Liu seems to be despised by this Xuan-level soul soldier. It just so happened that his nephew's soul soldier was destroyed. Senior Liu might as well give it to the boy." Xiao Chen looked at Liu Fengyin and refused to pick him up, and said half-true and half-falsely.
Although Liu Fengyin was angry, she did not have an attack this time. She stood up and left with Buddha's sleeves. She didn't see any movements. The giant sword in Xiao Qiang's hand flew towards him automatically.
Xiao Chen said in his heart that it was a pity. After all, he was a mid-level soul soldier of the Xuan-level. He can be said to be a top-notch existence in this Mohe City.
Seeing that Liu Fengyin finally accepted the giant sword, Xiao Qiang breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to teach Xiao Chen a lesson: "Xiao Chen, you must not be so rude to Elder Liu in the future. He and your grandfather are of the same generation, and you must not miss the basic etiquette."
Xiao Chen disagreed. Liu Fengyin relied on his own strength and wanted to grab something from a junior, but he really had no good impression of him.
Seeing that Xiao Chen didn't say anything, Xiao Qiang knew what he was thinking and explained: "Elder Liu, although it is indeed a bit too much in some aspects, I can guarantee you that he will never do anything that is unfavorable to the Xiao family."
Xiao Chen didn't want to mess with this, so he said casually for a few words, but turned around and saw Xiao Yulan teasing her with the cub holding the spirit fox.
I felt a little funny. It seemed that girls had no resistance to these cute things, both in this world and the original earth were the same.
The elder was also very interested in the cub of the spirit fox. After all, he was a sixth-level spirit beast. When he grew up in the future, he could be said to be the powerful help of the Xiao family.
The topic of chatting between the three began to turn to the six-tailed spirit fox cub. Xiao Chen did not hide the fact that he had obtained the spirit fox cub and told the two of them about the killing of Tang Yuan.
Xiao Yulan had no expression after hearing this. In her opinion, such a person was not worth dying, so he would be killed. However, after hearing Tang Yuan's identity, Xiao Qiang's expression changed a little, and he was thinking about something.
Seeing that Xiao Qiang's face changed, Xiao Chen was confused and was about to ask a question, when a child of the Xiao family ran over from outside the hall, holding an envelope in his hand and handed it to Xiao Qiang anxiously.
"Great Elder, this is an emergency letter sent by the second elder."
The letter sent by the second elder?
A trace of confusion flashed in Xiao Qiang's eyes. At this time, the second elder came to do something with a letter. The second elder of the Xiao family worked in the princess's mansion in Qizi County for many years and was a celebrity around the princess.
In the Xiao family, the two elders have higher prestige than the great elder Xiao Qiang, because the Xiao family's biggest backer is the princess of Qizi County. Currently, the only one who can speak around the princess is the second elder.
Xiao Qiang took apart the letter and quickly looked at it. After seeing the content above, his eyes became solemn. After reading it, his expression on his face was filled with joy and sorrow.
"What's wrong? What's the matter? What's written in the letter?" Xiao Yulan looked at her father's frown and asked with some concern.
Xiao Chen also looked at Xiao Qiang in confusion, not knowing what was written on the letter, which made the Great Elder's expression so serious that he didn't see him like this when he closed the mountain.
Xiao Qiang put away the letter and said in a deep voice: "The trial of the dark forest must start in advance. This is the first-hand news obtained from the princess. It will be transmitted to Mohe City in a few days."
When Xiao Chen heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He knew a little about the trials in the dark forest in the memory of this body.
The dark deep forest is a monster forest in Qizi County. There is a space crack that runs through the Demon Realm and the Tianwu Continent. The demonic energy from the Demon Realm pollutes all the spirit beasts and trees in the forest.
Under the pollution of the demonic energy, all these spirit beasts turned into terrifying monsters. After they turned into monsters, all the spiritual nature of the spirit beasts disappeared, leaving only the nature of killing and tyrannical.
The strength will also become even stronger. A second-level monster is as powerful as a third-level spirit beast, and it is always in a violent state, extremely fierce.
Some trees in the forest also mutated under the pollution of the demonic energy. The terrifying tree spirits are as tall as ten meters of human-eating flowers, everywhere.
There are many space cracks on the Tianwu Continent after the Demon Tribulation, and the larger space cracks are sealed by senior masters in the Three Holy Lands and listed as forbidden areas forbidden to enter.
But there are too many such space cracks on the mainland, and it is not realistic for the people of the Three Holy Land to seal them all, so some smaller space cracks were preserved.
The three holy lands will not send people to seal these smaller space cracks until there is a major accident.
The space crack in the dark forest is such a small space crack. The demonic energy will only spread inside the forest and will not radiate back.
As long as ordinary people don’t go inside the forest, there will be no danger. But if you let it go, when the monsters increase to a certain number, you will walk out of the forest and threaten the surrounding towns.
Therefore, all countries on the Tianwu Continent will send special personnel to guard these monster forests. Once abnormal reactions are found, powerful warriors will be sent to clean up these monsters.
The dark forest training refers to the fact that when clearing out these monsters, the forces in the surrounding towns will send young children from the family to go to the outside of the monster forest for training.
The forest environment of the monsters is harsh and the monsters are extremely ferocious, but there are basically no very powerful monsters on the outside. It is a very good place for young warriors to experience.
During the experience, each family will compare with each other. It can be said that it is a big test for each major family. If the Xiao family has a very bad grade in the experience, the news will soon spread throughout Mohe City.
It will cause a great blow to the reputation of the entire Xiao family. What's more serious is that the princess of Qizi County and the lords of several surrounding cities will appear during their training.
As the largest force in Mohe City, the Xiao family cannot be without good results. If they cannot get first, they will leave the impression that these superiors are not strong and have no successors.
This is also the reason why Xiao Qiang is both happy and worried. If he performed well this time, the morale of the Xiao family could greatly increase before the ten-year agreement, and otherwise it would leave a huge shadow on the Xiao family.
Xiao Chen withdrew his thoughts, but he was not afraid at all. He asked with some expectation: "When will the trial start?"
"Seven days later, this is the first-hand news I got from the princess. It will only be transmitted to Mohe City in about two days. You both clean up and go down the mountain as soon as possible."
"You both will participate in this trial. The environment in the monster forest is extremely harsh, so I have to go back and discuss early preparations." Xiao Qiang looked at the two and said.
Although Xiao Chen only has the realm of a middle-grade warrior, he defeated Xiao Jian, who was a top-grade warrior when he was a low-grade warrior. Now that he has been promoted to a middle-grade warrior, his strength will naturally be improved.
Xiao Yulan awakened her martial soul at the age of five, and her strength has long been of mid-grade martial arts. Such a realm can definitely be considered a top presence in the entire Mohe City.
Whether the Xiao family can achieve good results in this training depends largely on the performance of the two people. Xiao Qiang's eyes were full of expectations when he looked at them.
"The Tang family came to our Qijiao Mountain to make trouble. How should we calculate the debt?" Xiao Yulan injured Xiao Chen and damaged his wooden house. She always remembered it in her heart.
Now, after hearing Xiao Qiang's words, he obviously wanted to let go of this matter. He mainly practiced the dark forest seven days later, and Xiao Yulan was a little dissatisfied.
Xiao Qiang pondered: "The Third Elder sent someone to the Tang family yesterday. Now it is a troublesome time and it is not suitable to start a war with the Tang family head-on. Yulan, don't mention this matter again."
Xiao Yulan curled her lips and said nothing, but she was a little angry at her father's words.
Xiao Chen also agreed with the words of the Great Elder. He suddenly appeared in the Seven Corner Mountains and walked with the Zhang family.
Until now, the Tang family suddenly violated the agreement with the Xiao family and entered the Qijiao Mountain in large numbers to capture the six-tailed spirit fox.
There is also the mysterious woman Feng Feixue who connects all this. The small Mohe City is indeed not as calm as it appears, and the situation is obviously unfavorable to the Xiao family.
So he didn't think about going to seek revenge from the Tang family immediately. First, he was not strong enough and without the help of the Xiao family, and his personal hope was a little slim to shake the Tang family.
Secondly, although the Tang family almost forced Xiao Chen to a dead end several times before this operation, in the end, he actually did not suffer any losses and completely destroyed their actions.
However, the Tang family's operation suffered heavy losses. The two elders and the Tang family's eldest son died tragically. The precious soul-blood jade also fell into Xiao Chen's hands, and the carefully designed capture plan completely failed.
