Longevity starts from strengthening internal organs

Chapter 184
The mountains and forests under the night are cold and lonely, only the occasional sound of birds singing and beasts roaring, reminding the danger here.

A colorful poisonous spider is slowly swimming on the branch, and its goal is a bird's nest in front of it.

But before it crawled closer, a figure suddenly rushed out from the darkness, and its toes just landed on it.

With a soft snap, the poisonous spider was directly trampled and exploded.

Looking at this figure again, it has already disappeared into the jungle and disappeared.

It was Zhao Ya who was on the way.

He settled down Meng Shiwen and Zui'er, then left the city by himself and rushed to Qingzhuling.

He wants to find out the information first, at least he needs to know what Qingzhuling is going to do.

The figure shuttled quickly in the mountains and forests. If it wasn't for the occasional need to step on a branch to borrow strength, it would be no different from flying.

Since practicing the little five-way soul-chasing kick, Zhao Ya's physical skills have improved greatly. Although he still lacks a sense of the distance from breaking through to returning to the original, he is at least much stronger than before.

Even after such a long journey, Zhao Ya didn't feel particularly tired.

In just half an hour or so, he had already arrived at the edge of Qingzhu Ridge.

After arriving here, Zhao Ya slowed down, activated the breath restraint technique, and his whole body merged with the mountain forest, moving forward quietly.

But after walking not far, there was the sound of footsteps coming from the front. Although the sound was very small, Zhao Ya's hearing was very strong, so he still caught the sound keenly.

He jumped up to a big tree next to him in a dodge, using the branches to cover up his figure.

as predicted.

Only ten seconds later, a group of mountain patrolling minions came out of the forest. The leader was wearing rattan armor and carrying a long knife, quite imposing.

His eyes wandered around, not letting go of every tree around him, and he even looked at the big tree where Zhao Ya was hiding.

But with the blessing of the breath restraint technique, the leader of the mountain patrol did not find any abnormalities, and finally withdrew his gaze.

"Recently, the surrounding area is not peaceful. You have to keep your spirits up. Otherwise, if you make a mistake, you and I will be thrown into the mine to do coolies. Do you understand?" the leader said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

The subordinates behind him didn't know whether they were taken by his aura or frightened by the sentence of throwing them into the mine to be a coolie. In short, everyone's expression became very dignified.

However, relying on the means of these people, it is natural that Zhao Ya cannot be found.

After searching and confirming that the surroundings are safe, the patrol team left.

After they left, Zhao Ya's face was a little dignified.

It can be seen from this mountain patrol team that this Qingzhu Ridge is no longer an ordinary bandit den, and these people are not ordinary bandits either.

They have evolved into an army with strict discipline.

Although discipline is essentially maintained by means of violence and intimidation, it is already terrifying.

If it continues to develop like this, this Green Bamboo Ridge will become a serious disaster.

However, Zhao Ya's trip was to investigate the matter of Wuxiang City, so he temporarily suppressed these thoughts in his heart, and then moved on.

Ten minutes later, he could vaguely see the outline of Qingzhu Ridge.

Qingzhu Ridge is not very high, and it got its name because of the green bamboos all over the mountain.

But the road is quite steep, and the only road into the mountain is surrounded by several hills, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack.

After arriving here, the guards became even stricter.

In just a short distance, Zhao Ya met at least three mountain patrolling minions. If it weren't for the blessing of his outstanding body skills and breath restraint technique, even Zhao Ya couldn't guarantee that he would not be discovered.

But the more guarded he was, the more Zhao Ya understood that he had come to the right place.

Because it's just a bandit den, is it worth such a big fight to lay down layers of defense?

Especially the Wuxiang City and its surrounding forces have been wiped out by Qingzhu Ridge, so what are they defending against?

After walking for a while, a small hill appeared in front of us.

This is also the first stop into Qingzhuling.

now.

There are several houses built under this hill, and the lights are on in the houses, and from time to time, mountain patrols come and go from here, obviously reporting the situation to the people inside.

Although there are several lanterns on the open space in front of the door, they are still not enough to see in the dark night.

Zhao Ya followed the dark corners where the lanterns could not illuminate, and slowly walked around to the back of these houses.

It may also be because this place already belongs to the core area of ​​Qingzhu Ridge, and there are so many guards patrolling the mountain in front, so the defense measures here are not too strict.

Zhao Ya came to the back wall of one of the houses very smoothly.

Because of the closeness to the hills, the back walls of these houses have no windows.

But Zhao Ya was not troubled by this.

He put his ear against the wall and listened carefully.

I heard a mountain patrolling guy inside talking back.

"Report to the village master that the 17 mountain patrol teams released did not find any abnormalities."

"it is good."

A slightly old voice replied, and then continued: "Don't relax, now the Dazhai Lord is at a critical moment, you must not take it lightly."

"Yes!"

"So, what's the code word for today's meeting?"

"It's clear sky and bright moon."

"Changed to windy and rainy."

"understand!"

Hearing this, Zhao Ya, who was lying on the back wall, frowned imperceptibly.

Because he always felt that the voice was familiar.

Although the sound is somewhat distorted due to the masonry barrier, the feeling cannot be faked.

Who is it?
Zhao Ya was thinking, when he heard another voice coming from the room.

"Second brother, you are much calmer now. How do you say that? Sit firmly on the Diaoyutai!" Someone exclaimed.

Hearing this voice, Zhao Ya trembled slightly, and a cold light suddenly shot out from his eyes.

He heard it.

The person who spoke at the back was Huo Tianxiao, the true fire dragon, and the person who gave the order before was Zhan Feng, the second village master of Qingzhuling.

What a coincidence.

Originally, I just planned to come here to spy on information, but I didn't expect to meet two enemies as soon as I entered the mountain.

Huo Tianxiao aside, this Zhan Feng left a deep impression on Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya, who had just reached the peak of the Three Realms at that time, was chased by him and ran around.

Although before leaving Dancing Elephant City, Zhao Ya relied on various arrangements to kill a round and crippled one of Zhan Feng's eyes, but Zhao Ya never forgot this hatred.

But isn't Zhan Feng the second village master of Qingzhuling?
Why did they come here now and start patrolling the mountains?

Zhao Ya was wondering when he heard Zhan Feng's wry laugh from the room.

"Okay, don't praise me, I've already been reduced to patrolling the village master, what else is there to brag about?"

"Then you will always be my second brother!"

Huo Tianxiao said something, and then said with resentment.

"I always feel that Master Dazhai was brainwashed by those sons of bitches, and actually let the second brother do this kind of thing."

"Hush, Fifth Brother, be careful!"

"What are you being careful about? Haven't you seen the current situation on the mountain? Master Dazhai listened to those guys in everything, and ended up in the current situation. Even our brothers who have followed Master Dazhai for many years have to step aside. Stand, it's really annoying."

In the end, Huo Tianxiao's resentment was almost overflowing.

"Hey, who made that group of people so talented that they not only found an iron mine for Dazhaizhu, but even helped Dazhaizhu break through the pass and advance to the fifth realm. If it were you, would you not be tempted?"

Although he was defending the chief of the village, Zhan Feng's words clearly revealed a sense of frustration.

"Shit, it's true that they found the iron ore, but we are all doing dirty work like digging, and if it weren't for these guys making trouble and killing nearly half of the residents of Dancing Elephant City, why would we As for attacking everywhere and arresting the surrounding bandit forces to supplement the coolies?"

Huo Tianxiao was obviously suffocating, once he opened the chatter box, his stomach full of complaints poured out.

"Old man, these words can only be said by you and my brother, and must not be said to others!" Zhan Feng said solemnly.

"Don't worry, second brother, I am so old, can I still not understand this truth? I am just angry, and not only me, the third lady seems to be very dissatisfied with Dazhai Lord's partial listening and partial belief! "

"Miss San? What did she say?" Zhan Feng was startled and immediately asked.

"Miss San said that these people have no bottom line in doing things, and they poisoned nearly half of the residents of Wuxiang City just to test their own strength. People even quarreled several times in private over this.”

Zhan Feng finally understood the meaning of Huo Tianxiao's words.

"Fifth, what do you mean..."

"I don't think we can just sit and wait like this. If we continue like this, sooner or later we will all be squeezed out to death, so I think we should unite with Miss San to drive those sons of bitches away first."

Zhan Feng was silent.

Seeing this, Huo Tianxiao couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

His temperament is like the fire oil he is best at, it will catch fire when it touches the fire, and he is extremely impatient.

"Second brother, why are you hesitating at this moment? I believe that if we brothers join forces, we will definitely be able to win those guys. After all, apart from secretly poisoning, these people's strength can be described as ordinary."

"This matter needs to be discussed in the long run!"

After a long time, Zhan Feng slowly said a word.

Huo Tianxiao was stunned when he heard it, and he wanted to persuade him to say something but was stopped by Zhan Feng.

"Now that I'm blind in one eye, and I'm poisoned in my body, my strength has been greatly reduced. Even if I want to fight with you, I'm powerless, so I have to think about it."

"Hey... well, then second brother, think about it carefully, I will take my leave first, little brother!"

After saying that, Huo Tianxiao stood up, said goodbye and left.

Zhao Ya, who was lying on the back wall, heard the conversation between the two of them clearly, and the information he got was huge.

But the most noteworthy point is that a group of people entered the Qingzhu Ridge and gained the trust of the great village lord of the Qingzhu Ridge.

Most of what happened in Dancing Elephant City later was done by this group of people.

So, who are these people?

At this time, Huo Tianxiao had already left the house and was walking along the mountain road.

I don't know if it's out of self-confidence or because of losing power, he doesn't even have a follower around him.

Zhao Ya's eyes flashed when he saw this, and then he followed silently.
