Chapter 43 Departure to the Underworld

The Nether Forest is the only way to the land abandoned by the gods. There are all kinds of dangers lurking in it - monsters, poisonous insects, miasma, mutated vegetation... The most terrifying thing among them is the large and small monsters scattered in the forest.

Small "space cracks" are invisible and difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. Once encountered, there will be no bones left.

Only old hunters who are familiar with the forest know how to avoid these invisible and deadly traps.

The Double Wolf Hunting Group is one of the top hunting groups in Xiliao City. It is staffed by the spell master Jing Feng and the strongest warrior Chi Yang. It can easily avoid the nests of large beasts and dangerous areas infested by poisonous insects. Occasionally, there are blind eyes.

Small things jumped out to block the road, but were quickly dismissed by the hunters.

The past few days went very smoothly.

Miss Gao didn't feel any dangerous atmosphere. Just like going out for an outing, she complained that the humidity was too heavy, the quilt was not comfortable enough, the food was unpalatable, and the grass blades scratched her delicate skin. Occasionally, she would come to Yaxing and take action herself.

hunt.

Her archery accuracy could only be considered average, but every time she hit a target, she would win a mountain of applause from her servants. Later, the hunters also joined in the applause and collected a large amount of reward money, making the atmosphere even more lively.

Jiang Chen was silently observing the demeanor and behavior of these hunters.

He always suspected that the man in black last night was a spy hiding among the hunters.

After a few days of observation, he gradually became familiar with the main members of the Double Wolf Hunting Group——

Jing Feng, the grand leader, is a fifth-level Qi practitioner in the "Elixir Formation" realm. He is good at spells and has a variety of methods. He is a powerful character, but his attitude towards Jiang Chen is relatively cold, and Jiang Chen doesn't like to talk to him.

The second captain, Chi Yang, is a powerful blood-crazed warrior and the absolute main force of the hunting group. He has a sixth-level "blood-moving" body, which can even reach the seventh-level "Xuan Gang" after stimulating the boiling blood. Although Jiang Chen is very familiar with him,

But I have never seen him really use his full strength.

Du Qibo, the wife of the grand leader and the doctor in the hunting group, has an easy-going and gentle temperament and treats Jiang Chen fairly warmly.

"Nightmare Hunter" Duan Fei, a fourth-level "Bone Tempering" realm swordsman, a loyal follower of the Grand Commander, a scheming person who likes to point fingers at Jiang Chen in a condescending tone.

"Two Wolf Hunter" Gao An, a third-level "Yijin" level hunter, raised two ferocious wolves, and is one of the veterans of the hunting group. It is said that the name of the Two Wolf Hunting Group came from his two wolves. On weekdays,

I saw him muttering alone with the two wolves and rarely communicating with other people.

"Wind Chasing Hunter" He Wen is a third-level "Yi Jin" archer with superb archery skills, known as "piercing the Yang with a hundred steps".

"Kangsing Hunter" Su Hua, a third-level "Yi Jin" level swordsman, is said to be a branch of the Su family among the seven great families. He has learned one or two moves from the Su family's secret skill "Sacrifice to the Dragon King Fist"

Style, likes to yell when fighting. Although its lethality is not great, its momentum is amazing.

"Dragon Spear Hunter" Shi Dinghai, a third-level "Yi Jin" realm spearman, wields a eight-foot-long spear. He is old-fashioned and silent, aging prematurely. He looks like a hermit master.

Judging from the people's body shapes and walking postures, Jiang Chen initially suspected that the man in black most similar to last night was the "Nightmare Hunter" Duan Fei. Only the fourth-level "Bone Tempering" realm skills can be used to frame the blame.

Then leave calmly.

Jiang Chen planned to observe for a few more days, collect more evidence, and then tell Chi Yang about this matter.

After five or six days of trekking, the group gradually reached the depths of the forest. There were endless dangers hidden here. Even if they were led by experienced hunters, they could not feel as relaxed as they had in the previous few days.

After being attacked by a wave of man-eating ants, Miss Gao lost two male servants and a maid. She witnessed the horror of the forest with her own eyes and was greatly shocked. Since then, she has restrained herself a lot and no longer complains about food.

It tastes bad and the stones hurt my feet.

The number of attacks by wild beasts is increasing, and everyone is tensing up, always on guard against unknown dangers.

Another night fell, Jiang Chen set up a tent and got in early.

Today he was clearing the way on the right side of the team and encountered four attacks, including spirit fire foxes, man-eating snakes, magic dodders, and shadowless insects. Each of them was difficult to deal with, making him physically and mentally exhausted, and he just wanted to fall asleep.

But some people refused to let him have his wish.

"Dong dong dong!" The tent was lightly knocked.

Jiang Chen woke up with a start, grabbed the dagger beside his pillow and stuffed it into his sleeve.

"Who's out there?"

"I, Duan Fei." The person outside answered.

"It's so late, why do you want to see me?" Jiang Chen was confused. Could it be that Duan Fei saw that I was suspicious of him, so he wanted to silence me in private?

"Miss Gao is looking for you, come with me!" Duan Fei said in a commanding tone, "Remember to wash your face and don't be rude in front of Miss Gao!"

Jiang Chen was even more vigilant - he had been responsible for the perimeter security these past few days and had basically never met Miss Gao. Why did Miss Gao want to see me? Could it be that this villain complained first and slapped him down in front of Miss Gao...

"Hurry up, don't keep Miss Gao waiting!" Duan Fei urged.

"Coming."

Jiang Chen wiped his face with a water bag and followed Duan Fei slowly.

At this time, most of the people had fallen asleep, and only a few followers were on guard. It was still in the dead of night, the sound of insects was silent, and the gloomy atmosphere deepened the inexplicable thoughts in Jiang Chen's heart.

The figure from the back of the lewd thief a few nights ago really looks a lot like Duan Fei...

Does he want to repeat his old tricks and frame me again?

Duan Fei's footsteps were very light, and when he came outside Miss Gao's tent, he deliberately stepped a little harder.

"Quick, come in!" Miss Gao opened the door curtain, looking impatient.

Jiang Chen walked in and found that Miss Gao's tent was indeed different from his little hunter's. It was elegant and comfortable, and it was heated with spirit stones. It was so warm that it was like a paradise.

There were two maids standing beside the tent. Although their eyes were unfriendly, they didn't have any killing intent.

It seems that it is not a frame-up, nor is it the revelation of the incident a few days ago...

When Jiang Chen was observing the tent, Miss Gao urged: "Quick, take it out and take a look!"

"What?" Jiang Chen was stunned.

"Baby! Stop dawdling, hurry up!"

"Ah? What treasure?" After being influenced by the Peach Blossom Assassin, Jiang Chen almost lost his mind.

"That jade pendant of yours! Why are you stingy? Show it to me!"

Jiang Chen's heart sank, how did Miss Gao know about his jade pendant? He had listened to Chi Yang's reminder these days and had put away the jade pendant long ago!

He glanced at Duan Fei's face.

Duan Fei said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Jiang, don't be reluctant. This is a great thing. Miss Gao will never let you suffer."

"I don't understand what you mean, and I don't have any jade pendant." Jiang Chen shook his head and decided not to admit it.

"Boy, who are you fooling!" Duan Fei's voice suddenly became harsh, "Miss Gao wants to see your jade pendant. It's to give you face, don't be shameless!"

Jiang Chen looked confused: "I don't have any jade pendant at all. Have you made a mistake?"

Miss Gao frowned her delicate eyebrows and glanced at Duan Fei: "Have you figured it out yet?"
