The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2837 A flawed explanation

While Qian Wantong and the warriors from the Qian and Ma families were taking Ma Sanxing's body off the sharp horns of the strange beast, Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing walked around the area to see if there were any other strange beasts. If another strange beast popped out, they would be ready to attack.

Although Ma Sanxing had explored this place before in the cave, and told them that he had only seen one strange beast here, and no other strange beasts were found, but because of the time constraints, Ma Sanxing did not explore too far, and only explored the surrounding area.

Now, in order to ensure that no strange beasts would rush out, Zhou Zixing and Qian Ying, two innate masters, carefully walked around here, but found nothing. Except for the underground caves and some hidden caves nearby, there were no threatening animals.

At this moment, it was too dark to see anything, but as innate warriors, as long as there was a trace of light, they could see the surrounding situation clearly. Moreover, the two of them were holding strong emergency flashlights in their hands, so the darkness naturally could not prevent them from observing the surrounding environment.

Although the ground under their feet was all soil and some stones, there was no sound when they walked on it. Innate masters can not only control their own bodies, but also the environment around them.

Originally, Zhou Zixing wanted to say something to Qian Ying, but he saw that Qian Ying kept her mouth tightly shut and had no intention of speaking at all, so he stopped talking and followed Qian Ying to check the surrounding situation.

Soon, the two of them explored the surroundings, and the exploration distance reached several hundred meters, but they really didn't find anything. When the two of them came back, Qian Wantong had already dealt with Ma Sanxing's body, collected some wood, built a wooden fire platform, and put Ma Sanxing on the fire platform, ready to burn him.

If it was someone else, there would be no such trouble and they could just bury him on the spot. But this was Ma Sanxing, an innate elder, so the Ma family naturally wanted to take him back. After returning to the family, they would bury him in the ancestral land after a grand funeral, which would also allow all the clan members to feel at ease.

After watching Qian Wantong set up the fire platform and communicate with the Ma family warriors, he directly lit it on fire.

The flames gradually rose, and everyone looked towards the fire without saying a word.

This time, the death of Ma Sanxing made all the warriors alert. Even a congenital master has died, so there might be some monsters behind. So what should the living people like them do?

At this time, Qian Wantong quietly approached Qian Ying and whispered to him, "Elder, I checked everyone's backpacks and found nothing."

After Qian Ying woke up, he thought about the treasures he had found in the cave hall. Especially the many spiritual medicines among them, as long as they were returned to the family, they could become advanced treasures and add a few more innate masters to the family.

But he didn't expect that he would be knocked unconscious just after getting the elixir. When he woke up, he naturally wanted to look for it. So he told Qian Wantong to arrange someone to check and see if these herbs were sent up by Ma Sanxing.

The main reason is that everyone fainted, and Ma Sanxing was the only sober person, so all the elixirs in the cave might have been taken by him.

They had some doubts before, after all, the ten advanced spiritual herbs were most likely swallowed by Ma Sanxing. But Ma Sanxing died before they woke up, so it was hard to say whether Ma Sanxing had embezzled the ten spiritual herbs.

If Qian Wantong was asked to check the Ma family's luggage openly, it might lead to greater resistance. It seemed unreasonable to check the Ma family's luggage just after Ma Sanxing died. The other families might also become alienated from him because of this order.

So Qian Ying asked Qian Wantong to investigate secretly, under the pretext of dealing with Ma Sanxing's affairs, to check the Ma family's goods to see if there were any elixirs or something.

After hearing Qian Wantong's investigation, Qian Ying suddenly became a little crazy. The elixir that he had finally found was lost again. What kind of crime had he committed that he and others had to sacrifice themselves without any reward.

damn it!

Qian Ying muttered a curse, and after thinking about it again, he said, "Go and look at the supplies of other families to see if there are any traces. Maybe..."

However, after he said this, he was also a little speechless. How could the warriors from other families take away those spiritual medicines? You know, when he just woke up, he carefully observed the surroundings as soon as there was light.

At that time, some people had not woken up yet, which meant that no one would touch those elixirs.

Could it be the Jade Skull? But why didn't the Jade Skull kill him and the others, but let Ma Sanxing rescue them?

It was a headache. The more I thought about it, the more loopholes I found. I even wanted to ask someone to put out the fire on the altar. What if Ma Sanxing was pretending to be dead?

Haha! He didn't say this in the end, but waved his hand and asked Qian Wantong to check it out.

"Elder Qian, are all the elixirs we obtained gone?" Zhou Zixing asked.

He didn't really cherish these spiritual medicines, nor did he dislike them. After all, he was now at the end of his life, and getting those spiritual medicines was just a contribution to the family, but the medicinal materials for longevity were what he coveted.

Qian Ying nodded and said, "I have been looking for it since I woke up, but I couldn't find it." Now, he wanted to turn back to the cave again. Maybe he would see the jade skull again, or maybe not. But those elixirs could not be lost.

I felt a little pain in my heart. I had come here and experienced so many hardships, especially the loss of several of my own warriors. I finally got the elixir, but at the last moment, I lost it all. I wanted to curse but I couldn't find anyone to curse.

"Do you think it could be Elder Ma..." Zhou Zixing asked. Although he didn't care much about the spiritual medicines, it would be very beneficial to get some of them. Therefore, he was a little suspicious of Elder Ma.

"It can't be him. After all, Elder Ma is dead." Qian Ying said.

Zhou Zixing originally wanted to say that maybe Elder Ma was using death to cover up the theft of medicinal herbs. But that didn't make sense. After all, although ten medicinal herbs were precious, there was no need to sacrifice a life. And this life belonged to an innate master, which was definitely not worth it.

Zhou Zixing nodded and said, "Okay. In that case, who do you think will take these herbs away?"

Qian Ying shook his head and couldn't tell who it was. In this situation, it seemed that everything could be explained reasonably, but everything had loopholes. There were loopholes everywhere, so how could he not be suspicious?

Now, Ma Sanxing, the innate master, is dead. Even though he was slightly stronger, he was still knocked unconscious when facing the Jade Skull.

So now Qian Ying has already had the idea of ​​leaving here. After all, everything has value, but his life is priceless. Once he dies, he will have nothing.

If those herbs were still there, he would not have continued forward at all, but would have returned with his men.

"I don't know either. Now I'm wondering who knocked us out and who took away these herbs. In addition, there is another very important situation, which is why Ma Sanxing didn't faint?" Qian Ying really wanted to find the answer, but unfortunately there was no clue.

When Zhou Zixing wanted to say something, Qian Wantong came over again and told Qian Ying that he had checked the supplies of other families and there were no problems.

Hey! How the hell should I investigate this?

Qian Ying didn't know what to do, but things had to go on.

"Elder Zhou, if we can't find those spiritual medicines, it means we have not gained anything since coming here, so we have to keep moving forward until we find other spiritual medicines. Otherwise, if we return empty-handed, not only will it bring shame to our family, but it will also make others look down on us. Therefore, I decided to keep moving forward and see if there is any spiritual medicine or something ahead." Qian Ying said.

He really wanted to go back into the cave, but when he thought of the skeleton, he felt a little repulsive. What if he was slapped to death by the jade skeleton as soon as he showed his head? Wouldn't it be a waste of Ma Sanxing's kindness in saving people?

So, let's just keep going. As for the caves in the Great Rift Valley, anyone who wants to go back can do so. Anyway, I won't go there.

After hearing Qian Ying's words, Zhou Zixing nodded, but didn't say anything else. After all, he came here for opportunities, opportunities to survive or to break through. If not, then what awaits him is the end of his life.

The feeling of waiting to die is really unpleasant, but my talent for cultivation is really poor, so I can only give it a try.

"Okay, since Elder Qian wants to move on, then I naturally agree to go with you." Zhou Zixing said.

What else is there to say about this matter? Since Qian Ying did not give up, he was naturally very happy.

Qian Ying called several team leaders over again, and held a small meeting. After explaining some things, he sent them back to sort out their respective supplies and see if anything was lost this time. After counting the supplies, he handed them over to Qian Wantong for easy integration of the supplies.

As for the rest, there is nothing much to explain. Being able to survive in the cave was really a favor from the Jade Skeleton, otherwise, all these warriors in front of him would have died one by one!

There was still some time before dawn, but because there was a lot of wood on the burning stove, the surrounding area was illuminated, allowing all the warriors to see their surroundings clearly, and everyone felt more at ease.

Well, it would be better if there wasn't that figure in the fire on the fire stand.

Sometimes, fire brings not only heat but also safety to everyone.

In this dangerous place, all the warriors have become weaklings at this moment, feeling the warmth and sense of security brought by the flames.
