Chapter 218 Identity Crisis
Forest fires sound scary, but for a large number of cultivators, they are just a little troublesome.
After all, flames are just another form of spiritual energy. A cultivator may have a headache when seeing this scene, but when the number of people increases, it is not a big deal.
It is not to protect the ecological environment. The spiritual energy in the world of cultivation is rich. Even if this kind of fire is ignored, it will naturally extinguish within a short time. These people take the initiative just because they don't want the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here to be disturbed.
After the fire, the five elements of spiritual energy between heaven and earth will inevitably lose the water and wood rings. It is okay if this loss is small-scale, and the surrounding spiritual energy will be automatically replenished.
However, once the area expands and the natural replenishment is not timely, it will lead to spiritual chaos. At least it will make it impossible to practice in this area in a short period of time, and at worst it will become a place of chaos and increase the possibility of monsters appearing.
Last time King Yao almost destroyed Shiyu City, these people were not willing to suffer another wolf disaster. This is why every big city has built city walls. Man-made disasters can be avoided by natural disasters.
Some monks were left to garrison, while the rest went to quell the fire. Zhang Lingtian and the others happened to be the ones who stayed behind.
"Brother Zhang, all that's left on the ground are clothes. Chen Ming seems to have been gone for a long time, and there's no trace of him around."
Hearing Li Dajiang's report, Zhang Lingtian felt a little irritated. He had just announced his bold words of taking everyone back safely, but damn Chen Ming was just playing tricks on him at this juncture, making him look like that.
"Look for it again." After he finished the order impatiently, he added as if he remembered something, "Go and look for that female cultivator. I stared at her all afternoon without even checking my identity. What a fool!"
"
Li Dajiang and Jiang Dahe both laughed when they heard this. There are very few female cultivators in cultivation, so these people have always put their eyes above their own. Those with pleasant looks are even more popular. Chen Ming, a poor foundation-building guy like this
, to please a beautiful female nun is not asking for trouble.
Just when Li Dajiang was about to leave, the monk who was standing by suddenly spoke.
"Chen Ming, is he that broad-faced man with a square mouth?"
Li Dajiang nodded. Chen Ming's upright look was so recognizable, but he didn't expect that the person under the disguise of this face was actually an old pervert.
"Although I don't know if it was him, I saw a dark shadow leaving the place where you camped not long after the itching monk left."
"That monk who is tickling?" Zhang Lingtian and the other three looked at each other.
"No, that's him." The man raised his chin in the direction of the billowing smoke.
When Qin Long emerged from the dense forest, he happened to see the looks of the three people.
Li Dajiang and Jiang Dahe glanced at Qin Long, and immediately turned to look at Zhang Lingtian, who was leading the team. Zhang Lingtian felt dizzy when they looked at him, and they even thought of strangling the monk who interrupted.
You are such a foundation-building person, why can’t you even have the brains to speak?
The monk also made a casual remark. When he saw Qin Long's Wenhuo spiritual energy, he realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly accused him and ran away, provoking a conflict between the Wenhuo monks. This crime was enough to kill him.
"What a bastard. I was blinded by lard, and I just kept saying what I wanted to say. A bunch of trash in the Foundation Establishment Realm love you so much that no one wants to care about you."
Seeing that there was nothing he could do about it, Zhang Lingtian could only curse in his heart and step forward. At the same time, he decided that he would never say such trouble-making rhetoric next time when leading the team.
"Who are you?" Zhang Lingtian stopped in front of Qin Long and asked arrogantly.
Suddenly there was a dark shadow in front of his eyes, Qin Long was slightly startled, and the other party's unpleasant scolding sound reached his ears.
Who is this? Can't you talk properly? Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?
There are always people who say that great revenge must be repaid, and that after the war, they will feel at ease and have clear thoughts, and they can easily achieve breakthroughs and promotions in the realm of skills, but Qin Long thinks that they are all bullshit.
After killing the shadow, the feeling of excitement has not completely subsided until now. Maybe ten injections of adrenaline are just what it feels like.
His anger has been difficult to control since the spirit fire was in his body. Although it has disappeared now, there is still some residue. When he heard Zhang Lingtian's reckless voice, he instinctively raised his eyebrows and said with an angry face: "Who are you talking to?
?”
Zhang Lingtian didn't expect that he would encounter a tough opponent. He was originally suspicious of the other party. Now he felt half a head shorter and his aura suddenly dropped.
Zhang Lingtian doesn't want to admit defeat for the time being. He is also a respectable person, not to mention that there are still two team members watching him.
But it is irrational to fight with Qin Long over Chen Ming. He is waiting for a step up.
Zhang Lingtian said loudly: "Let me ask you, who are you? Do you know where Chen Ming from our team is?"
"Chen Ming..."
Qin Long gave him a strange look, as if he was trying to determine whether Zhang Lingtian was the helper of "Shadow". He soon came to the answer, "Shadow" would not be stupid enough to find such a subordinate.
He sneered: "Who is he and what does it have to do with me?"
Zhang Lingtian cheered in his heart, "This is what I'm waiting for." He was about to describe Chen Ming's appearance, and when he was about to brush the matter aside, Li Dajiang's angry voice suddenly came.
"How come you don't know him? We can see him leaving with you, wondering if it was you who killed someone and took the treasure!"
"Damn it, this idiot..."
Zhang Lingtian just wanted to hold his forehead and sigh. He didn't look at the almanac when he went out this time. He brought a bunch of stupid teammates with him. Do you want to trick me to death?
He looked at Qin Long eagerly, hoping that he would quickly deny this guess.
It's not that Li Dajiang dared to say this without any sense, but he relied on the strength of his numbers, and he also had a Wenhuo Realm monk on his side, so he had a powerful backer in crushing Qin Long.
It was indeed him who killed the person, and several things were found from Chen Ming's body, but it was unknown whether there were any treasures among them. However, Li Dajiang's attitude did make his already unquenchable anger rise again.
Qin Long chuckled and said, "So what?"
Zhang Lingtian is desperate. He is also a god. You should do whatever he says?
Seeing Qin Long's decisive admission, Li Dajiang was also stunned. The development of the matter was too simple. The murderer was found so easily. Instead, he hesitated and didn't know what to say, so he asked Zhang Lingtian
.
"Brother Zhang, look, he...he admitted it. Should we teach him a lesson?"
You ask me?
Qin Long didn't know whether he would teach him a lesson or not, but he wanted to give Li Dajiang a few blows first. This idiot Gong Huo was really a good player.
Zhang Lingtian took a step forward, "Although I don't know who you are, I, Zhang Lingtian, said before this trip that I would bring my team members back to Shiyu City safely. Now that Chen Ming's disappearance is closely related to you, if you don't give me a
Say it, don’t even think about leaving safely today!”
"You can call me Mo Long, who else said I want to leave?"
The fire broke out suddenly, and Rou'er, who was practicing, was woken up by the noise. Looking at the dark smoke in the sky, she couldn't help but feel a little distracted, feeling panicked.
"Could it be that the devil tiger acted on his own?"
Without the Huntian Baoyu, Rou'er could no longer control the movements of the devil tiger. It could be said that the other party had now regained his freedom, so she was even more worried. If the devil tiger escaped, she would be the one to lose the most.
After asking for help, he found out the cause of the incident. It seemed that a natural disaster had caused a fire in the forest. Rou'er was panicked and calmed down. There were quite a few such things in the world of cultivation.
Just when he was about to continue practicing, he heard voices of questioning not far away, and the tone of one of them sounded familiar to Rou'er.
Looking for the source, Rou'er quietly walked closer and found that many monks had gathered there, expecting something.
"Where on earth did you hear that sound?"
Seeing Qin Long's unfamiliar face, Rou'er was a little confused. She had met the right person, and Qin Long was not unprepared when he fought with her. Whether it was the mask or the deliberately changed voice, she was shocked.
She couldn't pinpoint the source for the moment, but she instinctively felt that the sound was closely related to that incident.
Qin Long's attitude was already very clear, and there was nothing left to talk about.
Zhang Lingtian stepped forward and hit Qin Long on the shoulder with a palm, striking first. Qin Long's attitude made him very unhappy, so he taught him a lesson, just to let him know what strength is king.
I had already observed it before the war. The opponent was just a newcomer to Wenhuo. He was probably only at the first or second level. There was no comparison with him, who was at the fifth level of Wenhuo.
His move was extremely fast, but not very powerful. The purpose was to injure Qin Long's left hand and make him lose his fighting ability.
Although there are not so many rules and regulations in Shiyu City, everyone has the same purpose. For the time being, they are still called teammates. If you hit hard, you will be criticized. Only injuring Qin Long can give you a good reputation.
Little did he know that Qin Long's senses had become extremely exaggerated due to the strengthening of his energy. An attack that Zhang Lingtian thought was a surefire attack seemed slow to him.
The left hand was raised like lightning, and the ordinary accessory at the waist was raised high. The sword hilt lightly touched the opponent's wrist, and with a snap, the hit hit was easily missed.
"brush!"
Zhang Lingtian missed a hit and retreated hastily, drawing out his weapon at the same time.
At the moment of the fight, he saw something familiar in Qin Long's hand. The ring he wore on his hand had been seen by Chen Ming!
Zhang Lingtian's move attracted a huge reaction. Li Dajiang and Jiang Dahe beside him also drew their long swords and formed a surrounding posture to vaguely surround Qin Long.
Qin Long looked at their hands and was happy. This guy was actually using a mass-produced long knife that he had made by himself. It seemed that it was necessary to immediately put the plan of having a back-up weapon on the agenda.
After a careless move, Zhang Lingtian realized that the other party might not be as simple as he thought, and shouted softly.
"It's true that he killed Chen Ming. Look at his hand. The ring belongs to Chen Ming. Let's go together and kill him to avenge Chen Ming!"
Li Dajiang and Jiang Dahe were also monks who had cooperated before. Two cold-light broadswords struck instantly, blocking Qin Long's approach and retreat.
The long knife in Zhang Lingtian's hand was filled with a layer of green light, and his speed suddenly doubled, slicing straight through Qin Long's neck, as if he was about to die.
